Orion F1 Liquid Nutrients: The seedling is looking fairly unhappy. I will keep an eye on it. The plant has been given its first dose of Mega Crop Part B to introduce some more nitrogen, hopefully she will begin to grow some more and start greening up. The plant was watered when the pot was dried, to avoid mould and root issues. 8.5.25: The plant was watered with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added per litre; ♡ 1/4 TSP Mega Crop Part B ♡ 1ml Trace PPM: 656 PH: 6.0. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. Let's see how she goes. Thanks for stopping by 😊🍃✌️💚🤞

Very slow this week until I realised the timer was switching on for 15 minutes an hour into darkness, this has put me a couple of weeks behind schedule, should of been flushing for harvest this week instead I’ve been flushing for a couple of days to rid of nutrient lock, after 3 days of water I added just the pk and they’ve bounced back and the buds getting chunkier they’ve also needed a lot of defoliation throughout the week, 2 of the ladies are more a glue pheno in size, structure and a smell of pine, the other is a real chunky blueberry, hopefully I’ll get to the end with no more problems

Hey everyone! Do-Si-Dos ladies are growing inside the grow tent now and under a 250w HID, which is a HPS since my MH bulb burnt. They are growing very strongly, fast and healthy. With a decent thick stock for their age I believe. This genetics are very strong, so far no problems, no stunt growth. Made a 4-way topping, where you must leave 2 nodes only. The plant had around 6 nodes before topped. Will start LST on branches and shape them for the scrog I might apply later. They leave a sweet smell scent in the air. Roots are also growing pretty fast. Thxx 🙏

OK, so I’ll begin dialing back in my grow focusing after I gave her a top dress feeding I watered her in well with 2 gallons of water unpHd maybe two or three days later I noticed that her topsoil was starting to dry so I gave her another gallon of water just because although I believe in allowing the plant to have the dry back. Between watering I also keep hearing you know that with organic soil, you have to keep it moist in order for you know the nutrient to break down and I definitely want those top nutrients I gave her to become readily available . Also, in terms of dialing it back in the plant has been at a very abbreviated or dimmed level like since recovering from when I basically almost killed it and with that being said with the light being out at a dim level of about 40 to 50%, it was also brought up to a very High height in order to decrease stress so that they can regrow so I lower the light from 26 inches 28“ to 14 inches above the canopy. I put back in my floor fan for the lower canopy although I found out that it no longer circulate so I’m having to replace it. Its replacement is on the way in the mail. I added it back in the humidifier for the plants mainly because I was doing the cuttings in the clones since I needed to trim the lower canopy and begin training the plant down more for the trellis. This is my first run using a trellis. This is my first time trying to make one plant so massive, but I’m just a small time grower trying to get the most bang for my book since I’m trying to grow plants to supply myself anyways rather than maintaining so many different plants, I just thought I’d give it a go at making one plant massive I’ve gotten fairly decent and establishing good structure implants as far as like the number of branches or branches so I really wanna like push the threshold of my quantity that I can that I can deliver, but this are all the while. I’m still really working hard to get the quality that I know I like to smoke. I’m happy you know I’m learning but wow I’m still very far from the goal so the light is still at 50% but it lowered to 14 inches. There’s an additional lower canopy fan that’s not currently circulating but one on the way that will circulate the air down there and the humidifier in the tent now oh I also reprogram my humid controller because ever since I’ve called the other three plants that were occupying this tent when I began this this project I tried to switch it over for new settings for this plan considering you know it was set for the flower setting for my last three ladies but when I did that I messed it up and I was just too lazy to go in there and fix it so we have been running with BPD issues this entire time you know and that’s that’s part of the stunning growth as well you know the darn near 30 inch light height, being hungry and meet me during the watering but just in discriminated amounts because I’m not TDS and or PPM any of this stuff I’m really just eyeballing it not paging this stuff circulation and low light intensity. I mean, I can see why it’s taking her a little while to start moving like got like I remember her moving but since I’m back posting I’m I’m I’m working a dollar and I was even considering buying a new light at first but then I realized one I do have a really good light too. I really haven’t got that many runs off of this light less than 10 three is because I doubt her back so much in order to like decrease the stress and I can. I can push this plant with this light. I just need to dial my equipment back in and for you know, I had him back in the extra circulation and the humidifier to get the environment dialed in. I mean, you thought you get that BPD setting right and she used to transpired but now she’s hungry and if I keep that so more so that those nuts can break down she’s gonna get to looking for those nutrients so if not now like I think it’s supposed to take a week no more than a week gonna have to before those nutrients become you know bi available tour so I’m doing I’m doing my part now to give her the attention that she needs into dollar back in so that we can we can get the show on the road. This is entirely too long, but that’s just because I haven’t. I’ve been. I’ve been hands off. I mean, I found that I like the hands off approach to growing much more than the hands-on because then I’m too impatient and I’m oh man then it becomes a chore and has to go take care of her. You know as opposed to a pleasure or like a getaway, I enjoy when I take care of my plan. I like it to be at my activity you know not something that I’m just ready to get over with. I like to spend time with my plans I like to not mind going in there and then defoliating every couple of days. Listen, I need a strain that has an excellent of matter fact a low leaf to blood ratio I need far more bud and weight less leaves. I strain that I pick out a pure interest, but at this point, I’m almost ready to pick strains based off of leaf to blood ratio. I would enjoy just a good simple girl like I just have a couple of leaf Plug every couple of weeks. Let’s see when I’m mean to her with food top dressed because she’s in a 6 gallon hot, I gave her 1 tablespoon of the guy green broke and 3 tablespoons of organic worm castings per 6 gallons so that was a total of 6 tablespoons of the guy green grow nutrient maybe even seven for good measure and then 18 tablespoons cause I don’t know how many you know a4 cups 1/3 cup for cups that is but I actually wanna find out so I can stop doing these tablespoon measurements but 18 tablespoons of worm castings and I just I did my best to work. I didn’t really well to the top so and then I watered that in really slowly to try to avoid runoff the best I could. I did end up getting about a quarter inch runoff when I usually get about an inch and a half a runoff so I did good. I just even know that stuff eventually sucks back up in the pot. I didn’t want all that stuff to like rush to the bottom and then only get sucked back up at the bottom cause I don’t know what the root looks like at the bottom. I kinda have to assume that it is nice and strong, and maybe even root bound need to be upside to a bigger pot before I flipper the flower but if it’s not like I don’t want the concentration of nutrients and salts to be at the very bottom, especially when it comes time later for flushing, like I want that stuff to be you know closer to the to the top in the middle of the other of the soul structure, where I know the majority of the roots are and eventually work as way down to the evening rate, but not have a concentration at the bottom and I’m adding stuff in at the top. I really wanna flush this plant. Well, my lash flush it was semi decent. This flush it could be between my flesh, my dry and my cure which is crippling anybody I mean the girl I got far better man you should’ve seen my first couple girls terrible but now I’m gonna achieve quality in good structure. I just need to get I mean I can see quality you know structure of plants and blood structure but I gotta get the quality smoke. The sticks the smells taste the dense buds at the right moisture level if you’re enjoying it so far, give us a like. FINAL UPDATE OF THIS WEEK: 16DAYS SINCE DRY AMENDING SOIL . . PLANT STILL SHOWS NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY. I had hoped to be back on Water Onlu by now bc I’m afraid I’m going t burn her with these nutrient waters this long since my dry ammenduand what’s worse is that if I follow my 3 week amendment rule I’ll be adding 6 more tbl spoons of nutrient alongside worm castings ALL WHILE THE LAST NUTRIENTS I FED STILL HAVENT BECOME AVAILABLE YET. I DONT LIKE THIS

Greetings, fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Buckle up for the Week 6 Veg Report, where the saga of Jealousy unfolds with even more green grandeur. It's been an absolute thrill, a week of excitement, and a dash of horticultural finesse. First things first, let's talk about the latest addition to the Jealousy fanfare – the installation of a Scrog net. Oh yes, my friends, we've entered the world of controlled chaos, guiding our leafy companion into a magnificent dance beneath the net. It's like creating a green tapestry of foliage, where each leaf has its own place in the botanical ballet. This intricate web not only adds a visual spectacle to our growing sanctuary but also serves a practical purpose. It encourages the growth of an even canopy, ensuring that every bud site gets its fair share of light. It's like orchestrating a symphony of sunlight, allowing Jealousy to bask in the full glory of the grow room spotlight. And speaking of spotlight, let's talk about a little nutrient boost I introduced to our plant banquet – CalMg. It's like giving our green diva a backstage pass to the nutrient extravaganza. Calcium and magnesium play crucial roles in plant health, contributing to cell structure, enzyme activation, and overall nutrient uptake. It's the secret sauce for ensuring our Jealousy is getting that extra touch of botanical TLC. Now, let's dive into the art of bending and twisting. It's not a yoga class for our plant, but rather a strategic maneuver to shape and guide her growth. By gently bending and twisting the stems, we're encouraging an even distribution of energy and promoting the development of multiple bud sites. It's like teaching our green companion a choreographed routine, ensuring she takes center stage in the grand spectacle of growth. As we revel in the green symphony of Week 6, let's extend our heartfelt thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron for being the guiding lights on this verdant journey. Their support is the cornerstone of our horticultural adventure. A round of applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared experiences and camaraderie continue to elevate our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and may the joy of cultivation be a constant companion. Here's to a week of Scrog magic, nutrient symphonies, and the artful dance of bending and twisting. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

This week growth has been steady. I needed to do some more LST on the left plant because the 3 top sites had all stretched much more than the plant on the right and therefore I was having to move the light further up which meant the plant on the right was getting less light. After tying the 3 tops down, the next day they had readjusted themselves and I have a really nice flat canopy now. Feeding Schedule: 16/02/20: 6.18 PH 1318 PPM 4ml per litre Canna A 4ml per litre Canna B 2ml per litre CalMag 17/02/20: 6.18 PH 1256 PPM 4ml per litre Canna A 4ml per litre Canna B 2ml per litre CalMag 19/02/20: 6.16 PH 1259 PPM 4ml per litre Canna A 4ml per litre Canna B 2ml per litre CalMag 20/02/20: 6.21 PH 1152 PPM 4ml per litre Canna A 4ml per litre Canna B 2ml per litre CalMag 22/02/20: 6.11 PH 1318 PPM 4ml per litre Canna A 4ml per litre Canna B 2ml per litre CalMag

Still getting much larger, very wide now. I cut back to 50% nutes every other watering and watering half as much. I also brought up the humidity from lows in the 27% to lows in the 40%. Switched light to be on at night to control temp more with out running A/C as it got hot here sooner than normal. I took a few lower colas off quite a large amout dried it in a vacuum pump freeze dryer for 6 hours and have been vaping it all week, high is sleepy, comfortable laziness, night time based I would say after work getting ready to sleep. Trichomes under 60X look 70% milky, 30% clear, not fattened weeks more+ for amber color

First week of flowering. Girls are super happy. And drink a lot. I very much prefer the lower plant count with 8 plants. And I’m probably not going to go back to more than 9 plants. Perhaps will even try 6 or 7. 12 or 16 was a bit of overkill. Maybe with super short veg it has its place. 26.01 first day of flower.

May 24, 2024 Day 99 This is the last week for these ladies. They have until the end of this week and then harvest no matter what. I'd much prefer to harvest them sooner, but I don't have space in my dry tent. It's only a 2x2 and the Tropicana Cookies just finished up and will be in there for about 7 days. Banana Purple Punch A needs a half gallon of water today. She's not done yet and she's all dried up. So I'll give her that half gallon of plain water today PHed to 6.1 and that's it. She should be dry again in a week. I'll be checking trichomes today as well. I'll update when I finish up. Banana Purple Punch B is amazing. She smells wonderful and now with the Tropicana Cookies out of the tent, her aroma can shine. Wow. I'll be checking trichomes as well today. She also finished up her reservoir but she's still pretty moist. It must have emptied yesterday. This may last the week. I'll need a few days for her to dry out as well. So I might have to add a bit more water. Maybe a quarter gallon? Just enough for her to last the rest of the week. I'll see how she is tomorrow. The environment is still a bit wonky. The humidity is still in the mid 50's% with the temp being around 73°. It's currently at 76° and 57% humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.2° RH: 56.7% VPD: 1.17 kPa May 25, 2024 It's rainy today and naturally, the humidity in my room is stupid high. So in the tent the humidity is back to 60%. I'll be opening the tent door again every couple of hours today. Banana Purple Punch A is starting to look like a hot mess. Tops are starting to flop over and there's a super weird fade going on. Leaves that just curled up and turned super dead yellow. Some of the leaves are showing purple, and the tops are getting purple hues. Still a bit of a mess. Banana Purple Punch B is getting more and more purple. Her leaves are starting to lighten up as well. We can certainly see the start of the fade. The tops have nearly all purple sugar leaves. The buds are still pretty green. I wonder how it works with this one. We shall see over the next 6 days. I might have to add a half gallon of water to her reservoir. She's already a bit too dry to last the week. So I'll do that later today I think. Maybe first thing tomorrow. Harvest time is 6 days away now. Both ladies are looking super close to being done. Hell, I may even go past the ideal time by a couple days. That's perfectly fine. I could use a good sedative. The environment is back to being an absolute mess. The temp is at 75°, which is fine. But the humidity is back up to 60%. Hopefully I can get the humidity to drop a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.1° RH: 55.1% VPD: 1.30 kPa May 26, 2024 These 2 are shaping up to be some heavy yielders. Both have massive buds and are on their way to being fully done. Another 5 days I think and they will be ready for harvest. However, I may have to keep them in there for a few extra days. The Tropicana Cookies in the dry tent are taking a bit longer to dry than I anticipated. Banana Purple Punch A looks great. I ended up using a piece of a plant tie to prop up one of the most leaning tops. Looks great now. Much more light penetration to the lowers. Banana Purple Punch B is absolutely amazing right now. MASSIVE buds that weigh a whole lot. She finally has a distinct purple look to her. And it's just getting more and more purple. When she is done, I believe she will have some beautiful foliage and lots of dark purple leaves. She got about 1/3 of a gallon of water today to the reservoir. She was dry and she has much too long to go before she should be that dry. The leaves are all starting to turn a bright green and fading into deep purples and yellows with orange. Fall foliage indeed. I'll also be doing a full defoliation in 3 days I think. I want to clear as much foliage as I can before wet trimming. It doesn't seem as though wet trimming will be all that bad. There's sugar leaves, but they are big instead of plentiful. So it should be pretty quick. Drying may pose an issue. If the humidity keeps up like this, I'll have a lot of trouble keeping it below 62% in the dry tent. We have a few days left anyway, so maybe it will go back down by then. The light is the same. I did take the DLI today and the average is about 40 mol/m²/d, so that's fine. I'd much rather it be closer to 36 mol/m²/d, but then it would interrupt the Sour Diesels in the tent that just started to flower. The environment is really off today. It's super humid out and it's showing and killing my good vibes. The temp is a bit low at 73°. I would prefer it to be 75° during the day. It helps with all the plants in the tent. Oh well not won't stay low for long. It should start to creep up later today. The humidity is still super high at 63% today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 60.9% VPD: 1.15 kPa May 27, 2024 Both ladies got a half gallon in their reservoirs today. Both were way too dry for now, sona half gallon should last them at least the night. Just 4 more days and we can harvest. Unless this humidity doesn't let up, then I have to wait even longer for the Tropicana Cookies to dry. AND risk mold! Damn it! Banana Purple Punch A is starting to get floppy. I hooked some of the tops to each other so they will stand. A couple outer branches were starting to fall as well, so the were also tied up. Hopefully that solves the issue for the next 4 days. Maybe 5 or even 6 now. Too long in my opinion. She doesn't have much in terms of fading but it's starting at least. Her leaves are all messed up. So I'm not bothering with the fade honestly. If she fades, she fades. I'll be defoliating in 2 days anyway. Then wet trimming, so the leaves aren't really a thing to bother with now. She also has lowers with white pistils. They are developed, but the pistils are still white. Those are going to change in. Matter of days. Banana Purple Punch B is shaping up to be the best plant of this run. She's actually the shortest, but has the best structure and the most solid buds and a lot of them. She's also doing quite well in her final days. Her leaves are turning dark purple with the lowers turning bright green. She got a quarter gallon of water yesterday and drank it up almost immediately. I think I'll have to keep her watered for the next couple of days. She will certainly dry out quickly when I stop watering, so I think she will only need a couple days to fully dry out. Currently, she is about 34% soil moisture content. Not bad at all. It might go up to 45% with the half gallon, but no higher. I haven't done trichomes in a few days. I may get a video in today or tomorrow. Both plants could use a good viewing. Not that it matters, as I have to schedule my harvest, regardless of doneness. But we'll check them for science. The environment is back to being the bane of my existence. Seriously, it's driving me insane. So the humidity is WAY up at 65% with the temp being around 74°. It's horrible. I really don't want to keep opening the tent. It just takes away precious light space. The average night temp was also high at 70° with the humidity still being up at 64% I have no idea how these ladies haven't gotten bid rot or mold. Maybe it's because it's like a wind tunnel in there. Exhaust on full power, two 6 inch oscillating clip fans facing each other. There's no space untouched by some sort of airflow. It's not a heavy wind, but like a light breeze. Update: I finally took some trichome videos and was a bit surprised at what I found. Both plants have tons of cloudy barely any clear and a good amount of amber. The extra 4 to 6 days may be a bit too long. We shall see. Some of the lowers still have white pistils and only have amber trichomes on the leaves. So there's time for them to finish up. We'll see how this works out. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 60.8% VPD: 1.11 kPa May 28, 2024 Very late entry today. I was quite busy wet trimming Banana Purple Punch A for the chop. Yep, you heard it. The chop. One of the Tropicana Cookies finished drying today and I thought it was time to harvest her. So she got a full wet trim and is hanging in the dry tent. She weighs in at a total of 22.26 oz wet hang. She has heavy buds, so the weight retention should be impressive. Maybe 5 oz? Maybe 4. Not bad. Banana Purple Punch B will be harvested when the last Tropicana Cookies is done. That should be in about 4 to 5 days. Currently I have her moved to the back of the tent with the Sour Diesels taking over the rest. She looks great. More and more purple. The environment is still crazy. Super high humidity and nothing I can do about it. I've tried AC, no AC and just started the heater. Something has to work. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 63.2% VPD: 0.98 kPa May 29, 2024 Nothing to do today. Banana Purple Punch A is on her first day of drying and I expect it to take 10 to 14 days based on the current environment in the dry tent. I did put a dehumidifier in there to help clear it out. It won't be permanent. Just until I can get the humidity back down to 60%. Then it will come out and go back in the 3x3. This will then help regulate the humidity for Banana Purple Punch B. Banana Purple Punch B looks great! She will be harvested whenever the dry tent has a free spot. Should be in about 4 to 6 days, unless the humidity drops below 60% and then maybe 3, but I doubt it. I also finally was able to take her off the risers and it worked a charm. The Sour Diesels in the tent aren't being overshadowed anymore and she is at a perfect light distance. With the drop of the risers, the canopy DLI is now 38 mol/m²/d. Over the next few days, it should make the buds even more purple and dense. The 3x3 environment is around 63% and at 73°. Still super high. The dehumidifier should start working soon. We will see a small drop in humidity. Maybe a jump in temp, but I need to get the humidity down somehow. The temp is nice and low for this lady, but not great for the other plants. I'd rather it be around 75° or even better 74.5°. Because I was able to remove the risers from Banana Purple Punch B, I finally could lower the light for the Sour Diesels. The DLI is at 38 mol/m²/d with the power at 60%. Looking great! Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.3° RH: 63.2% VPD: 1.01 kPa May 30, 2024 Lots to do today. Well, this afternoon. I finally pulled the final Tropicana Cookies out of the dry tent and now it's ready for Banana Purple Punch B. I may actually leave her in the dark for a day or 2 just under her sister plant that is currently drying. Banana Purple Punch A is enjoying her second day of drying. It's actually a bit dry in the tent now. A good day out. But a bit too dry for a solid week. It should increase when I put her sister in the tent. She still has a good way to go. Maybe another 8 days if I can push it that far. Banana Purple Punch B will be getting fully defoliated this afternoon. Then I think I'll put her in the dry tent for a day or 2. A nice dark period to stress her out a bit. Not to mention it will increase the humidity a bit in there as well. I'll do a full wet trim in a day or 2 when she is done with the dark period. It should also give her time to fully dry out her container. And give a final push in trichome production. I'm not going to bother with the environment today. It won't matter until tomorrow. Then I'll get dark tent data. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 57.1% VPD: 1.13 kPa

Day 70: Want to know how the trichomes are looking on my OG Kush, they look pretty clear to me but not 100%🤷‍♂️🏼 any feedback would be great, this OG is about 10 weeks old from seed, there was some temp issues, and nutrients locks but still going strong I believe.

The Pineapple Express is ready to come out soon and has started her flush with crystal clear , it tastes as good as it looks , I’ve pulled a bit more off to smoke ( the last pic ) . She’s got some purple coming out and is absolutely stacked in trichomes and sticky to the touch . The Gorilla Zkittles is another 2 weeks behind and will love getting the place to herself next week , she’s so stinky it burns your nose but every now and then that fruit orchards smell will come thru , she’s starting to fill out nicely and is standing a bit over 1.2 metres, I’ll spread her out some next week when I have the space and keep feeding her for another two weeks . For now it’s drier sheets at the exhaust vent and and giving these two a great finish.
