With the last heat wave, I had an answer to one of my questions, clearly my chiller is not doing the trick. I have water temperatures that went up to 27°, which is way too much, the plants deprived of oxygen, started to declare several deficiencies due to an assimilation slowed by the lack of oxygen. It is then that a nasty fungus came to say bijour, it is me MR pythium! It was necessary to act, at the risk of having to restart the culture. So I applied hydrogen peroxide and ROOT ROT X, and both products are doing harm to this nasty pythium, things are now back to normal. On the other hand, the plants had a decreased growth for 10 to 15 days, so I'm going to extend my growth for 10 to 20 days, that is to say 1 or 2 soups, I'll choose according to the root development of the plants. Before going to flowering, I have to catch up this delay in order to make a nice crop.

AUTO BLACK OPIUM - Another amazing week - Loads of trichomes, colours are darkening and pistols are turning amber. The smell is ridiculous - The buds are sticky and I cant wait to smoke some. AUTO GIRLS SCOUT COOKIES - She just keeps on growing larger and larger - did defoliation on her for the second time during pre flower stretch and it looks like I might have to do another. AUTO SWEET REBEL - Removed this plant from the diary as it grew incredibly small but using it as a comparison to show off the Black Opium colours.

Alright, loving her progress! Her vigorous growth keeps me on my toes each day, defoliating and topping her constantly! After this set of topping I'm going to chill on that and try just defoliating from here on out. She sits at 8 tops currently and I want to get her to 16. I transplanted her into a small nursery pot, on another note. Fed her mykos and XSD and I swear she didn't even take any recovery time. Just chugged on through. I did make a mistake when topping, wound up as more of a fim, cut the entire top completely off, so it looks like I'll have 15 tops instead of 16. Oh well, mistakes were made. Still extremely excited to mother this girl. Should be ready for clones within the next month. I should also mention I'm going to try and keep her really low and wide. So that I can non-invasively pluck clones and then have a nice frame to chuck into flower once I'm done 😜. Cheers all, stay safe and stoned 😷👌

Allright guys & gals, In my Quest to mastering the art of growing my own bud I've reached the classic, overfeeding point but i've decided to just dile it down a gear and keep at it...I'm amazed with the Northern Lights blooming, it looks way readier then the Diesel Haze, eventhough it was planted 2 full weeks after. the budsare smaller still, but fostier and just looking riper....I have noticed the bigger leaves getting some nasty nuteburn (or at least I guess thats what it is) . I will definately go super easy on the nutes next grow. ....Trust the process.... Update... The NL is suffering quite a bit... Update... Giving just water the next times to see if they recover... Pistils becoming brown now and smell slowly getting stronger...

She’s finally there! She’s been flushing for just over 2 weeks now. Been checking the trichomes and for me she is at perfect ripeness! 🤩 Now just need to get her cut and dried, will probably take me a while as I’m on the upper end of the humidity scale atm, even with a dehumidifier! Super happy with how my first photo has gone and can’t wait to start another run!

I think the flush helped, It had the run off after this feeding at 300 ppm so the back to back heavy feedings not a good idea, have some burned leaves and lost some time lapse days but they seem to be doing ok. got 4-5 more weeks till finish I think I will let them go as long as i can to get all the buds to develop. of the 4-5 weeks left I will feed lightly 2 more times and water in-between until the 2 weeks of flush. I really need a new light with white LEDs the color correction is all over the board. any recommendations for lights let me know. be safe.

Leaves started to go a little light green this last week so changed the water and added some Nitrozyme aswell as a slight mist direct to the leaves. Also had to lower the PH to 5.8 as it had crept up quite substantially at around 8.5. Other than that...Nice, healthy, bushy plants. Still a clear difference in size between the hydro and the Allmix. The netting needs changing as just can't get it taught so any recommendations appreciated. Itching to see the end result! Update 28th Feb: I think im getting a little nutrient burn on some of the leaves. Nutes have been added as per supplier directions Either that or it could be due to me spraying a little diluted Nitrozyme mix directly on the leaves a couple of days ago while the veg lights were running.

Día 4 de Floracion Como ya os comenté la semana pasada las puse ya a florecer, recuerdo que tengo un armario muy pequeño y muchas plantas. Al ser regulares tengo que estar muy atento para cuando se empicen a mostrar. Seguimos a 150W, el foco es regulable, de momento he conseguido estabilizar la temperatura por lo que seguiré así. Un riego con Alga Bloom, que empiece lo bueno. Saludos

SUMMARY: Still on Mid Bloom strength nutes this week (+ 1 tablespoon of molasses per 5L). Irrigating once every 24hrs as always with her taking in about 2.2L average per day and always aiming for 20-30% runoff. Whilst she has many tops, they're very skinny and I'm not sure they are going to fill out to be honest. DAY 58 ------ Friday 19th February 18:30 I found the tent at 28% RH. No idea how that's occurred but I did notice it was hotter then usual this morning. I turned the dehumidifier of for a couple of hours and it jumped back up to 61% and so I will just set it to 55% RH. I fed Jesus 2.2L of early bloom nutes which produced 195ml runoff (9%). Will up this back to 3L tomorrow. I adjusted a couple of ties to expose more bud sites. [24°C/52%] DAY 59 ------ Saturday 20th February 11:30 The tent temp has been sat at around 23°C overnight somehow. The dehumidifier keeping the humidity around 45-50% seems to also keep the temps between 23-27°C. Saturday 20th February 18:30 I fed Jesus 3L of mid bloom nutes which produced 1050ml runoff (34%). Looks like i have a humidity problem and so ive reluctantly removed some more leaves from Jesus as she is bushy again after a week or perhaps I didnt defol enough. If I have the dehumidifier off the humidity is in the low 60s but if I lower it to like 45-50% then the temps stays too high between 24°C-33°C. [22°C/64%] DAY 60 ------ Sunday 21st February 11:30 I made 5L of early bloom nutes at a pH of 5.8 and 5L of mid bloom nutes at a pH of 5.6, both made with tap water. Sunday 21st February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.5L of mid bloom nutes which produced 825ml runoff (33%). [22°C/49%] DAY 61 ------ Monday 22nd February 11:45 I made 5L of mid bloom nutes with rain water at a pH of 5.9. I am adding half a tablespoon of molasses to every 5L now by adding just enough boiling water to liquify the molasses and then pour it into the feed. Monday 22nd February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.5L of mid bloom nutes with molasses which produced 710ml runoff (28%). [22°C/55%] DAY 62 ------ Tuesday 23rd February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.3L of mid bloom nutes which produced 640ml runoff (28%). With the dehumidifier set to 50% RH it seems to keep it at around 50% RH though the temps between 25-30°C. If I turn the dehumidifier off the RH climbs to 60-64%. Removing more leaves will lower the humidity and I do pluck the odd one every day that is blocking light (I rotate the plants daily 25° per day to ensure all sides get a fair share of light). [25°C/50%] DAY 63 ------ Wednesday 24th February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2120ml of mid bloom nutes with molasses which produced 200ml runoff (10%). The temps have risen to 30°C due to the dehumidifier. It is currently set to 50% RH which keeps the temps around 28-30°C and the RH at around 38-40%. I have increased the setting to 65% to see if that helps lower the temp and increase the RH up to 45-50%. [30°C/40%] DAY 64 -------- Thursday 25th February 11:30 I made 10L of mid bloom nutes with rainwater and molasses (level tablespoon per 5L). 5L at a pH of 5.9 and 5L at a pH of 5.8 Thursday 25th February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.4L of mid bloom nutes which produced 700ml runoff (29%). [22°C/55%]

SUMMARY: Switched up to Mid Bloom strength nutes this week. I have also started adding 1 tablespoon of organic blackstrap molasses per every 5L. Though some argue this is purely for use in soil to feed the bacteria there is argument that it also acts as a bloom booster due to its active ingredients. She is fattening up nicely though not many tops and so I need density from these. DAY 51 ------ Sunday 21st February 11:30 I made 5L of early bloom nutes at a pH of 5.8 and 5L of mid bloom nutes at a pH of 5.6, both made with tap water. Sunday 21st February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.2L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 300ml runoff (25%). DAY 52 ------ Monday 22nd February 11:45 I made 5L of mid bloom nutes with rain water at a pH of 5.9. I am adding half a tablespoon of molasses to every 5L now by adding just enough boiling water to liquify the molasses and then pour it into the feed. Monday 22nd February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.4L of early bloom nutes with molasses which produced roughly 335ml runoff (24%). [22°C/55%] DAY 53 ------ Tuesday 23rd February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.4L of early bloom nutes which produced roughly 400ml runoff (29%). With the dehumidifier set to 50% RH it seems to keep it at around 50% RH though the temps between 25-30°C. If I turn the dehumidifier off the RH climbs to 60-64%. Removing more leaves will lower the humidity and I do pluck the odd one every day that is blocking light (I rotate the plants daily 25° per day to ensure all sides get a fair share of light). [25°C/50%] DAY 54 ------ Wednesday 24th February 18:30 I fed her 1.4L of early bloom nutes with molasses which produced 200ml runoff (10%). The temps have risen to 30°C due to the dehumidifier. It is currently set to 50% RH which keeps the temps around 28-30°C and the RH at around 38-40%. I have increased the setting to 65% to see if that helps lower the temp and increase the RH up to 45-50%. [30°C/40%] DAY 55 ------ Thursday 25th February 11:30 I made 10L of mid bloom nutes with rainwater and molasses (level tablespoon per 5L). 5L at a pH of 5.9 and 5L at a pH of 5.8 Thursday 25th February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.6L of mid bloom nutes which produced roughly 610ml runoff (38%%). [22°C/55%] DAY 56 ------ Friday 26th February 11:30 I made 10L of mid bloom nutes with rainwater and molasses (level tablespoon per 5L). 5L at a pH of 6.0 and 5L at a pH of 5.6. Friday 26th February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.4L of mid bloom nutes which produced roughly 420ml runoff (30%). [22°C/55%] DAY 57 ------ Saturday 27th February 18:30 I fed the NL 1.4L of mid bloom nutes which produced roughly 410ml runoff (29%). [22°C/55%]

Found some leaves showing defiencies, but not a big problem so far. It looks like Mag. defiency. Ph outcome was 6.2 so the ph lockout is not what the problem was. Will see next week if more yellowing will come or not. Plants dont look like there is some serious problem with growing, so all cool.
