Because of how early I topped her, the base was very dense with foliage so I did some defoliation. You can see the four main branches (2 of which were topped) and the central FIM with its supercropping scars in the 4th pic. Still running a 1000w MH bulb at 50%. Looking at getting a SMLED/COB LED combo light to replace my cool tube and associated fans and ducting. Water level was down to 50%. I'll have to start topping up. July 04 I rearranged my setup a bit while switching the MH bulb for the HPS. I think next run I'm going to grow 2 autoflowers and stagger them and try to run a perpetual harvest. I'm going to try to stick with the HID lights if I can manage the heat effectively. It was working well when I had the 6" cooltube and the 4" carbon filter exhausting out the window, but now that the smell is more intense, I don't want any air going out except through the carbon filter. I've thought about running filter-->fan-->cooltube-->outside but they're different sizes so it would lose efficiency. I've also thought about running clean air from outside the tent through the cooltube and then outside as it was intended, but I just don't think that's going to work with the space. July 05 I noticed shiny spots on the leaves which seems to indicate I have thrips. I can't see any actual larvae even with my glasses on, but the sucked out spots are fairly distinctive and I can see small black particles that must be excrement. Temperature seems pretty good in there and humidity is ok at about 45%. I have some peppermint Dr Bronner's castile soap so I made a foliar spray of insecticidal soap by just pouring a few drops into a big spray bottle. Just worried about when to spray so I don't burn the plant. Just checked the reservoir and temp is 26c, PPM 860, Ph 6.5. I'm going to add plain water and try to bring the Ph back down to 5.5. It's possible that what I'm seeing is due to the Ph being too high. I'm going to start checking the Ph at least every couple days. It's annoying to unclip all the training wires every time I open the reservoir. It's also not very convenient to fill it. It's at an awkward height. I like the 5 gallon bucket because it was easy to set up and understand but I might be better off with a different type of reservoir. 3:45pm I just sprayed the underside of one section of leaves, I'll see how that section does under the lights. My concern is that if I spray under the lights, it will burn, but if I spray at night, it could cause mold. Hopefully I can get away with spraying all the leaves once or twice a week and it will go away. July 06 She looks ok but I'm thinking it might be a Ph issue. Ph was 6.2 so I decided to just pitch the water and start again. I changed my method so I'm mixing the nutrients in the actual bucket the plant lives in and testing it there, instead of mixing in another bucket and pouring it into the DWC. Ph is now 5.7 and PPM 700. July 08 just noticed that RH is 70% when the lights come on. I feel like I'm going to need a solution for overnight humidity. Maybe dry rid bags. Rh is 60% after a couple hours. Leaf, solution, and substrate temp down to 24 which is nice. Ph is back up to 6.3 again! I pH downed some tap water to 4 and added that to the reservoir. July 09 Pistils just started coming out :) The Ph is still back up to 6.3 again but PPM is 750. I'm going to change the res again and lower the nutrient content a bit.

Esta semana apesar de tener temp Máxima de 28... se va recuperando bien de las podas, el led de TodoGrowled funciona perfectamente para sus 55w farmers!🍯

Just got back from vacation, and I'm very pleased to see that the plants are doing well! Was gone Saturday to Thursday, and had a friend check on them once to adjust the pH but other than that they've been on autopilot. The Autopots are amazing for this - I got 2 kits with 2 pots each (instead of 1 kit with 4 pots) which gave me an extra reservoir in anticipation of this vacation. I connected the tubes from both of them with tees, and it worked exactly as I hoped. There's still a few days left of water in the reservoirs, so I think I could theoretically go a full week if needed (though the pH does drift a bit). Switched my feeding approach from guess-and-check EC measurements to doing mass/gallon which has made mixing nutrients a lot more consistent. The current feed contains 5.5g/gal of Megacrop, 1.5g/gal of calmag, and 1g/gal of bud explosion (PK). This works out to be an EC of ~3.1 including my tap water. They've been at this strength for a few weeks and are due for a little bit more, but I didn't want to mess with nutrients before leaving since I'll want to monitor them. The smell is getting pretty strong, with a very sweet scent (almost like berries) when I open the tent. The buds are starting to get some weight as well. Interestingly the two plants that veg'd a little bit slower seem to be budding the strongest. The plant that had explosive growth during veg has a ton of tops, but the buds are smaller. But overall they're all looking pretty good. No signs of issues as far as I can tell, tons of trichomes on the buds and sugar leaves. Expecting ~10 weeks of flower, so they're about half way done. Hopefully they'll keep packing on some weight!

Hey everyone :-). This will only be a short initial update 👍. Today the seed was placed between two fruit cloths and placed in a dark place. I suspect the seed will be ready to be planted in the next 3-5 days :-). The diary starts next week with the planting of the seed :-). I'm really looking forward to the start and until then I wish you all the best 👍.

Last week veg topping for the tree too tall.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 25/10/2019 - First feed I gave her 0.25ml on 250ml of water of Biobizz-Grow, with 6.5ph. 26/10/2019 - Leafs looking a bit crooked, and some pale spot lets hope its not fungus. (gave her 100ml of just PH 6.5 water) 27/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml Biobizz Grow, 6.4PH (changed feeding to once every 2 days with a plain water interval) 28/10/2019 - Started LST 30/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml of each Biobizz - Grow,Bloom and Max, 6.3PH, added carbon filter and it raised the temps to 29c 31/10/2019 - A tad too much of nuts, little burn tip. (Sensi Seeds warned me but I still goofed it)

All looking soo good and frosty. Smell is fantastic. Buds are tough and strong. Flashing will come soon.

Day 98: Fertigated 10l Hello growmies and welcome to week 15 for Nesia - this superb Amnesia Haze Auto from Fast Buds. Nesia continues to amaze me as by far my largest plant. If you have been following my grow series you will know that I recently harvested Karen, who was dwarfed by Nesia, and Karen has yielded 160g dry. So I am properly excited to see if Nesia can set me a new yield record! I think she can and will! Day 100: So I can no longer move her out of the tent to photograph, she is just too big and too heavy with bud. It is recipe for disaster. So for the rest of the grow I will be doing my best to get good photographs in the tent. I hope that's okay, because I don't have a choice really. Anyway she is a photogenic girl to say the least so I am not too concerned. I am really enjoying this new camera, I need to explore the limits! Anyway you should expect another update tomorrow or soon! :D Day 104: Fertigated 10l I very nearly cut Nesia today, I even announced on Twitter that I would in the end I decided to let her go a bit longer I want to see some serious amber! I think I am starting to get the hang of the lighting and new cam... practice practice!

Tag 88: Die Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds hat Spass gemacht, anzubauen. Das ich so unvorsichtig war und die Spitze abgebrochen habe, ärgert mich jetzt noch. Dafür hat sie ganz schön reagiert mit dem "Ersatzhaupttrieb". Das Nassgewicht kann man nicht ernst nehmen, ist mit einer groben Küchenmaschine gewogen, wichtiger ist, wieviel es nach der Trocknung ist. 😎

Getting near the end. BB2 and GG2 showing mostly milky/ cloudy trichomes with some amber. These two showed the deficiencies and have been flushed on day 76. One more flush and they will be harvested first. BB1 and GG1 look to be about a week later.

So were on day 26 of flower there looking good getting a nice smell starting to throw out trichomes Have down loaded a thew videos of before and after removing fan leaves

:)

The sour jealousy from fastbuds is doing great!

Well,well,well.....Damn! This is my first grow with FastBuds outdoors.. And I am very impressed..She stretched significantly and is loving the sunny Temps... She has doubled in size In the last week 😳 and she has been only drinking water.. I must say..this strain is super fast..

Der stretch hat ordentlich losgelegt ich hoffe ich kann mich auf das Versprechen von serious seeds verlassen dass die Pflanzen nicht größer wie ein Meter werden 😜

UPDATE: Day 2 of week 9 Saturday 17th October: Nutes in today and more LST. Defo running out of space, so LST is proving more tricky and stems are less bendy now and much easier to crease! I’m tempted to not try too much more teasing of the plant and purely work on light height from here on in.. I don’t wanna mess up all my hard work by trying to force the plants too hard, damage them and stress them out. Other than that all looking great and pistils coming through lovely 😊 UPDATE- Day 4 of week 9: Monday 19th October Nutes in again. Increased the BioBizz Top Max this week to 3ml/l so let’s see how they respond. One girl looks like she’s a little slower than the others but other than that happy days. Oh and the crease I made in the main stem on one of my ladies last watering, doesn’t seems to have suffered any for it thankfully.. UPDATE: Day 6 of week 9 Wednesday 21st October; Nutes in and a little defoliation. Have a mild case of thrips, so I’m concerned about what products to use as I’m now in the 3rd week of flower and don’t want to spoil the buds or taste.. Argh! Since putting in the dehumidifier temps have soared which is what’s causing the thrips.. Gonna use the cardboard box method for the dehumidifier to get it out the tent, just need to pickup an aluminium hose and ducting tape. Pretty pissed as I’ve had such a smooth ride up till now. Really don’t wanna spoil my first grow. Thinking some Neem oil may help but worried about spoiling the buds ☹️ Happy growing peeps! 💚✌️🏼
