These plants are starting to show different traits more and more. Each day I'm in there defoliating and trying to keep this jungle tames as much as possible. Just been water only. The worms are proliferous and have been pouring out of the bottom of the pots. It's actually kind of wild. I'm not sure if this many worms is better or worse or if it even matters. As always thanks for checking out my diaries and for those of you that take the time to read the thoughts and ideas, I appreciate it.

9/30/18. She still looks great. No burn and no deficiencies so far. I fed her a liter and a half . The pot is now heavy but not totally soaked. I did not water to runoff but the lower portion of the pot is wet. I don't like soaking the pots because the bottoms take ay too long to totally dry and I have had issues watering schedules. 10/5/18 Still doing perfect with minimal attention. Bumped up the amount of Grow Big last feeding with no ill effect. Looking ahead and having weeks before the auto is done I didn't know how to face the upcoming issue of vertical space. Shes too big to LST and I did not want to top her because shes doing incredibly well and want to see what she will produce. I rigged up a scrog contained within the bucket. I did a mod years ago to a smoker which gave me the idea in the middle of the night. I might change out the screen itself since it was just what I had on hand but will see how it works.. The openings are 2.5" so it should suit my needs. I have it set at 8 inches above soil but it is fully adjustable up and down by the nuts on the threaded rod. I plan on keeping the main stem under the screen to induce the plant to keep producing shoots and fill the area. Im pretty excited about trying this and Stay Tuned.

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Hi! Well they are getting nice maturing buds getting bigger and all good. I love the red colour of the Red Hot Cookies. Unfortunately, Tropicanna Poison and Red Mandarnine does not show any signs of purple or red colour. Kalini Asia neither albeit, the bonsai version gets purple. Gelato is little beauty. So yes, basically not much to say. Fertilization is still the same every second day with the ratio and mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

It's HARVEST Day!!!! This plant was such a joy to grow and thanks to simpro nutrients she had grown into a little beast!!! Doing another week of flower to give time for her to dry and I'll give an accurate weight and smoke report in a couple weeks. Happy holidays growmies!!!

Just getting started on the right foot. Coco and bags sterilized and flushed thoroughly with 0.7EC at 6.0pH solution. Will transplant tomorrow once the coco drains down a bit. Plants look great and excited to push down the accelerator. 4/2 - transplanted into 3 gal and watered in. 4/4 - Reservoir cleaned, sanitized, and online. Switched to tap water (0.3EC) and nutes at 0.8EC for total of 1.1. Ph 5.9. New feed pump installed (no more getting electrocuted when I put my hand in the bucket. YAY!) and 5" watering rings installed. PPFD 550. 4/5 - really quite chuffed. PPFD to 600 and they are looking great. Moved Zoey up 2" to match canopy height. 4/6 - switched Silica Boost to foliar spray at rate of 40ml / gal in RO water, pH to 5.8

Esta semana fue genial las plantas crecieron todas muy parejas..teniendo por ahora mucha homogeneidad en el tamaño y forma de las plantas

She's getting axed tomorrow! 😍 Last watering was just 6.0PH 6L Water to produce some fade but i think it was too late. She got nice colors going though. in dim light the black and orange really shines. She's also smelly 😷

Jus popped the seeds in the soil ready to see what happens next..

Semana de corte.

Just picked this little lady up from Dr. Greenthumbs in DTLA. It's a Magic Melon Auto started by Dark Heart Nursery on 2-28-20. Current set up: - Vivosun grow tent (36x20x62) - Mars Hydro TS 1000W LED - Vivosun 4in Inline Fan & 4in Carbon Filter - Oscilating Fan 4in This week's training: LST Tie Down - Tied down the top to be at the level of the next node to channel the auxins to the lower nodes and start widening the canopy

[ Information ] For all information on this grow, including strain and room details, please see the first week of veg. [ Updates ] Day 10 - Watered today, 1.2ec feeding of mainly organics (Fulvic/Humic, Kelp, Molasses, Big Bloom) with runoff. 6.8ph. Group one is stretching much harder due to plant density, I will be adding a net soon. Day 13 - Watered today with the nutrients listed for this week. 2.2ec at 6.5ph. 80gals total. Added a small dose of Open Sesame for the first time today as bud sites are starting to form on all plants. Added a net to Group 1 yesterday, I will add the nets for Group 2 in a couple days. Group 1 plants are 38-40 inches, group 2 plants are 32-34 inches. I may adjust net height, this isn't normally how I run a cycle; I'm trying a few different things side-by-side. The "one plant per square foot of canopy" group has consistently shown that even with a short veg period there is far too many wasted growth nodes on the sides of the canopy. The plants around the edge tend to branch out instead of up, as they're naturally trying to find sunlight. My last attempt at using these side branches with heavy topping of the middle nodes resulted in a higher yield, as expected as the light footprint was 5x5 instead of 4x4, which defeats the purpose of "one plant per square foot of canopy" anyways. A better test would have been to stunt the growth of all middle nodes enough to weave the side branches into the main canopy, though this seems to be a waste of time without much gain. I'm much happier with Group 2 which has 1 plant per 2 square feet of canopy space. While it also has side branching, the difference in height at the canopy level of the sides and middles are not nearly as different as Group 1, which means a more even light distribution without the need of a net. As overgrown as the room is getting, they still have 7-8 days before they're defoliated a final time.

Coming to the finish line. Not sure if the plant really got better after the lockout, it is running without nitrogen so yellowing/losing leafs is to be expected anyway. Planning to chop in exactly 10 days.

Also on Thursday, I started to give her Bud Ignitor to help Alice.K. with the pre-flowering stage. From now on i will have very few night shoots as at the end of the week I placed and fixed the SCROG mesh, so I can't move the plant anymore. Later in flora i will try to do some at night inside the tent, I need to make some tests before, and see how she responds, as I don't want to stress her with night light along flowering time. Finally on Sunday I designed something to support the lower main branches, I only have photos with one branch supported as I taked the photos while the rest of the supports were printed. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 11/09/19 (Day 51) - 3,000 ml with all week nutrients -(Bud Candy & Silica Power) & Organic Growth Nutrition only 1.5ml/l @ 1.25 E.C.

También el miércoles empecé a usar Bud Ignitor para ayudar a Alice.K. con su etapa de pre-floración. A partir de ahora tendré pocos disparos nocturnos. Al final de la semana he fijado la malla de SCROG, y no podré mover más la planta. Más entrada la floración haré unas pruebas nocturnas dentro del armario para ver cómo responde a las fotos nocturnas, ya que no quiero estresarla con luces por la noche durante la floración. Finalmente el Domingo diseñé e imprimí unos soportes para las ramas inferiores, sólo hay fotos con una de las ramas sujetas, ya que hice las fotos mientras se imprimía el resto de los soportes. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 11/09/19 (Día 51) - 3.000 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Bud Candy y Silica Power) y de Organic Growth Nutrition sólo 1,5ml/l @ 1,25 E.C.

Flush Week !! More yellowing and colder tempereatures... Feeding is 1 irrigation plain water, and the next with 2-3 ml Top Candy, giving the plant the Carbohydrates it needs, but no more nutrients this week. Eating way less water than before. Aprox 1 week until harvest, and the end of the next week probably is going to be sunny. So not much more to say fellas, sooo as usual, Take care and Good VIbes !!!

i have now moved it to its last pot. it was a bit stressful for it and i hope it recovers well. the root formation looked really good. it is now in an autopot system and is being fed with HESI fertiliser.

Another week on the Gorilla, she is forming bud, but real irregular and she seems to not fill out like she is supposed to. The plant is way smaller than her roommates too, in this case thankfully cause this will compensate a little for the loss of total weight she will cause. I had made a video but decided not to put it up, with too much strong language and questions of the integrity of the third-party seed bank in question. Remember that Expert seeds probably cant help this much, except not dealing with third parties messing up their good name. Well enough words for an so far underperforming plant. We did as much magic as we could, I think Im lucky if she yields 30 grams, lowering my total and average gram per watt score so thanks...

16.01.2026 – BT 75 Zu guter Letzt stand die Zoap Rose an. Gegen Ende der Blüte fiel mir leider auf, dass sich in einigen Buds einzelne Bananen gebildet hatten. Zudem habe ich vorsorglich fünf Samen entfernt. Beim Ernten selbst kamen mir jedoch direkt extrem intensive Terps entgegen: sehr fruchtig, mit einem leichten Hauch von Kaugummi. Von allen drei Pflanzen hatte diese definitiv das beste Terpenprofil. Kommen wir nun zum Highlight des Ganzen. Auch diese Pflanze wurde – wie zuvor schon die Apples & Oranges – mit der DryRocket getrocknet. Dieses Mal habe ich die Pflanze jedoch nicht komplett austrocknen lassen, sondern sie drei Tage nach dem letzten Gießgang geerntet. Anschließend kam sie in ein 40 × 40 × 160 cm Zelt. Ursprünglich war geplant, mein 120 × 60 Zelt zu nutzen, doch nach Rücksprache mit DryRocket wurde mir empfohlen, ein kleineres Zelt zu verwenden. Der Grund: In kleineren Zelten lässt sich die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit oft besser kontrollieren, da sie dort natürlicherweise schneller ansteigt als in größeren Räumen. Also gesagt, getan – die DryRocket bekam eine weitere Chance. Und was soll ich sagen: Das Ergebnis war Bombe. Nach der Trocknung lagen die Buds bei 62 % RLF in den Grove Bags und die Terpene waren weiterhin krank am Start. Zum Vergleich: Die Clementine Slush wurde parallel in DryFerm Bags getrocknet. Hier habe ich aktuell noch einen eher heuartigen Geruch, was sich erfahrungsgemäß jedoch meist während des anschließenden Curings legt, bevor die eigentlichen Terpene zum Vorschein kommen. Das Zelt selbst wurde zusätzlich noch mit Frischhaltefolie abgedichtet, sodass wirklich alles luftdicht war. Ich musste mich während der gesamten Trocknung um absolut nichts kümmern. In der App wird eine Raumtemperatur von ca. 19–23 °C empfohlen – in genau diesem Bereich war ich durchgehend. Ich habe kein einziges Mal manuell ins System eingegriffen. Die Trocknung verlief dieses Mal spürbar langsamer als beim ersten Durchgang. Auch das Granulat der DryRocket war am Ende vollständig gesättigt, was sich deutlich an der grünen Färbung erkennen ließ. Fazit: Der Test ist definitiv bestanden ! Ich kann die DryRocket hier guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen. Wie schon in meinem anderen Beitrag erwähnt, wünsche ich mir für die Zukunft allerdings noch ein paar Verbesserungen: Eine Möglichkeit, das RocketFuel (Silica Gel) selbst zu regenerieren oder zur Regeneration einzuschicken Eine erweiterte App mit mehr Parametern und Einstellmöglichkeiten Der aktuelle Preis liegt bei 299 € inklusive RocketFuel. Ob einem das den Preis wert ist, muss am Ende jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Produktion und Support sitzen in Deutschland, was für mich ein klarer Pluspunkt ist Des Weiteren möchte ich mich bei Shogun, DrainMaster und DryRocket für die Möglichkeit bedanken, ihre Produkte testen zu dürfen – das ist natürlich nicht selbstverständlich!

After the first 2 weeks of Veg, she's looking great! After adjusting the light distance and intensity a bit, the issue with the weak and stretchy stem disappeared. Also, the fact that her roots have reached the nutrient rich living soil part absolutely helped with her development. Now she's standing super firm, her stem is stable, her nodes are coming along nicely and thus on Day 17 I decided to top her just above the 4th node. Another day of rest and recovery before I'll adjust the light distance a little more, to bring it closer to the plant. She also has some mushrooms growing out of the soil - so sweet! When they're gone, I'll add some mulch and possibly a Blumat drip feed system, so the top soil remains a decent moisture level.

SCROGING is an amazing technique that I will get better at but this being my first real attempt I clearly see how important it is to get everything cleaned up under the net. I’m not touching anything now and I’ll just do better next time. Anyways my garden looks really good, and the buds look real good and my canopy is pretty even. I mean it’s 4 or 5 inches off and if I would have tucked one more time I could have got things a bit more even. The Grand daddy purples buds are definitely going to be lighter. The vanilla frostings buds are going to dense and thick. If I take what I’ve seen from the past couple harvests my light will really turn these buds into little dense monsters. The viperspectra PAR1200 is a good light and makes heavy dense buds. I highly recommend the PAR1200 for a 3 x 3 space. Happy 420! Update - I think I missed 1 week in my grow. Today’s the last day of week 4 and I gave the girls a little trim today and cleaned those big fan leaves off. What a difference a little trim makes! I took these new photos about 8 hours after their trim. All those buds sites that were being covered reached out and here’s a few pictures of what was underneath. Have a great weekend!
