Week 11 June 2nd

This was the first grow of my own, and it went pretty smooth overall. I'll update the outcome, tastes & effects after it has dried. growdiaries.com has been a great experience so far, very happy! 😀 Final dry weight was 2.4oz!!!👍

Rainbow belts are down and now it's just the landraces. Zed black is looking to show some toxicities from the flowering feed I use once a week. I definitely think it's an overfeed of nitrogen. In the future I'll keep note. Other than some minor tox the plants are doing great. Some foxtailing is beginning but so far nothing major Hash plants are chugging along perfectly fine. No toxicities or issues. Very easy plants to grow. A few of these are also giving me a really nice yield.

12/26 - Gave her a bucket change today and increased the PK while lowering the EC just a tad - the pH and EC had been telling me for a couple of days that she needed a change and needed more PK but a slightly lower EC ... so that's what she finally got after Christmas stopped my intense care of her. She wasn't unduly upset - but she's showing me some love right now since the bucket and nute change-up... All of her flowers are bulking up nicely and her colors are getting intense - REALLY dark! Friends who stopped by over the weekend were as mesmerized as I am! Cheers to all - next up, NEW YEAR'S EVE and more great growing from all of you! 12/27 - Needing to adjust the pH today which isn't surprising.. always happens after a bucket change but I'll get it stable - meanwhile, she doesn't seem to notice which is just fine by me! Love her!! 12/29 - The lady has the grow closet all to herself now and I've been able to pull her over and down a bit to get the lower buds closer to the light... #2 Bruce is completely out of the tent, harvested and drying... but I've got one coming up - just popped the seed in a glass of water yesterday - but Pinky won't mind, she'll still be the Star of the Show in the tent... Buds are fattening up nicely for a sativa and are, actually, a little surprising to me! She really is a pretty, pretty plant if I do say so myself!

During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

03/26/24 So, I hadn’t been giving the micros I have because I noticed it has a lot of nitrogen in it and they already had too much in the past. This wasn’t a good idea apparently.. getting some serious yellowing and reds in some of the leaves. One of the girls seems perfectly fine with no signs of this, but the other 2.. yeah. I’ve not made any changes from last update other than adding the micros. Hope they’ll be alright as I’m pretty sure this is way too early for any colors other than green 😢 Any input here is completely appreciated. Other than that the girls are smelly, frosty and sticky af. I can’t really figure out how to describe the smell. Something like chemically-cough medicine? With like some kind of funky but then a whiff of sweet with a bit of the marker smell. Terrible description, I’m sure.. but it’s hard to explain.

Day 10 and 11 flowering, canopy filling up nice! No real stretch yet! Hopefully in the next days! Day 12: very light defoliation.

This week has been pretty smooth sailing. Since all 4 of the testers are being watered at the same time splitting a gal of water ph to 6.1 with products listed. Started some LST on them this week and seems like all the babies are doing well. Tester 01/#1 by far grown the most at this point but time will only tell how they will all turn out. Enjoying this grow quite alot and am super excited to see how it goes.

It's been a smooth grow year ..I am only using flora nova ...and pro tekt. Silica ..water is from local tap ..filtered with rv filter. There is movement og ,fatso bx1 x wilson, sunset sherbert x Sunday driver x Natrual Born Killer strains ....thanks for viewing

Week 07 and the heat wave is behind us. Didn’t update last week but not much to report. Some serious damage was a result of the heat, causing the lights and everything else to become too much for the girls. #2 took it the best and is still growing nicely packing on weight and some serious frost! Finishing much faster then the others. I might re veg her the smell is so nice. The two larger #1 & 4 have been hungry forever awhile and I never applied anymore Gaia:(

Was a little bit challenging for me, due to the outdated nutrients table, mostly on the Flowering period, also little thing like i have to fill more the pots, also with this kind a strain and also with cuts instead of seeds, may be is better to don't do the topping and don't loose time and energy on the vegetative period. At the same time, more or less about the 8th week of flowering it starts to appear something like Alternalia or Overfeed of Phosphor still don't sure. All this issues have impact the grow in terms of the size of the branches and the whole plant, the size of the buds and the hardness. In strictly terms about the strain, the quality is out of mind, amount of resin is crazy, just have to improve my skills and get bigger crops

Day 14 🤩 vegi is starting Piccas from this morning 8.30 and 17.00 after LST So today was the first time I had Terra, Generator & Root Stimulator, only ¼ of the specified amount of everything and of course Hy Pro Fertilizers, my fertilizer barrel is finally ready, is being supplied with oxygen and the fertilizer is in motion, which means that as I am lazy I make 50l and leave it in the corner 😉 but always ready to use... Then today was the first light LST, I will leave it alone for 4 days and then see where and how I pull it out, it doesn't really matter because I want to put up a net and lay it flat underneath The Frosted Agave from Original Sensible Seeds has also seen the light of day This grow is sponsored by: Zamnesia Seeds Hy-Pro Fertilizers Mars Hydro LED Start 26.4.024 Germination date 30.4 024 Germination 6v6 From Zamnesia Do Si Dos f1 Auto.2x Green Crack f1 Auto 2x Pineapple Express f1 Auto 2x Growing method L.S.T with the help of a scrog net..🙈 Light led 1x fc 4800 from mars hydro Exhaust air, I replaced the heavy pk 150 with my Mars Hydro 6 inch fan Filter Rhino pro 900m³ Inlet air 305 m³ with filter 160mm Soil: Atami Light Mix & 5 mm pumice stone & 16 mm expanded clay on the floor In 15 l.

Day fifty, they're all looking pretty good.I'm doing a ph check every couple days

Cut down today definatly needed few more days as fan leaves where still green but i had to do it today. Smells amazing like peppery skittles. Let me know what you think will and i will update when dry and cured.

Germinación: 24 hs en agua y después las paso a un tupper con papel de cocina. 21 de mayo 2020: abrí el tupper para poner las semillas germinadas en tierra. 23.05.20: todas ya se abrieron.

13 Aug 2021 Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I’m not a superstitious person, but I hope everything I did today turns out well. Today was a big day in my grow room. I finally cleaned up my big tent and got my three little Ladies transplanted into their new pots, as well as set up their new home to maximize their environment. I moved my Spider Farmer SF-1000 light into the big tent so that each of my girls has their own dedicated light, but that the spillover from the other two will be 3x as good! I leveled the lights 18 inches above the plants for even light distribution over the entire grow area. I also got a new standing oscillating fan for improved airflow and took out the other two I have been using. I can always add them back later if needed. I also repositioned my carbon filter and exhaust fan which opened up the whole top of the tent to place the 3rd light. I changed a lot of stuff in my grow room today in order for it to be neater, more organized, and basically more efficient as a grow space. Now if I can just get rid of all the damn boxes! That’s an inside joke with my wife. Now to my ladies… As I mentioned above, I transplanted my trio into their final homes today. I filled the pots with the same soil that they are currently in, Fox Farm’s Ocean Forest Potting Soil. I opened a small hole in the middle, then extracted each plant, one by one from their solo cups. I broke up the root ball of each plant so that the roots cover more area in their new home. Then I surrounded the root ball with more fresh soil and made sure each was secure in their positions. I then defoliated each plant of all their dead or dying leaves and then carried them upstairs to the grow room. After placing each plant into position, I labeled them all so I, and I’ll assume all of you, can keep track of which is which. They’re still C1, C2, and C3. Today I didn’t want to do anything really crazy, so I just watered the plants with two gallons of properly pH’ed water in order to get the plant roots and fresh soil wet enough to stay moist and consolidate a little better into one mass. I also wanted plain water so that I could see what the TDS levels were like from just the soil and water considering that the soil has some nutrients all by itself. So, each plant received approximately 3/4 of a gallon of water from 2 separate gallons. One with a pH of 6.4 and TDS going in of 89 ppm, and the other 6.7 with TDS of 98 ppm. Each plant had a decent amount of runoff from the water given. The runoff results were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 628 ppm C2 - pH 6.2, TDS 532 ppm C3 - pH 6.1, TDS 622 ppm As you can see, the TDS going in was under 100, but the runoff was significantly higher. I think I’ll wait until their runoff TDS is lower before I recommence giving additional nutrients. I’ll just have to see how it goes. Temperature is hot outside again, so the temperature was a little elevated at 84F, and the humidity was 55%. Now the fun of caring for 3 big plants at once. 🙄 I thought two was tough! What have I gotten myself into! Happy growing everyone! 15 Aug 2021 So today started the fun of feeding three plants at once. I’m still just giving properly pH’ed water to try and use the nutrients in the soil first instead of adding additional nutrients to a pot that is already full of nutrient rich soil. I may do this one or two more times before starting the nutrients in the water solution again. I’m going to document each plant properly here in the note, but I can only put one on the updated weekly report for the website. I’m going to alternate between the 3, so today I’m going to start with C1. Each of the plants seem to be adjusting well to their new pot, as well as to their new environment inside the big tent. I took a couple of pics of each plant today to add to the diary for your viewing pleasure. The gallons of water (3 of them) were filled with tap water and then measured and treated independently as follows: C1 - gallon had initial pH of 7.7. C2 - initial pH of 7.7. C3 - initial pH of 7.8. I added 5 gtts (.25ml) of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.2 in all three gallons. TDS going in was as follows: C1 - 94 ppm C2 - 98 ppm C3 - 91 ppm Runoff was also measured independently, and all 3 had very low runoff pH levels. Very low!! C1 - 5.2 C2 - 5.4 C3 - 5.3 TDS runoff was: C1 - 597 ppm C2 - 577 ppm C3 - 647 ppm As you can see, the TDS runoff is still pretty high due to the soil. I’m going to be looking after them carefully over the next week or so to see if any deficiencies can be seen and address them to prevent any issues from becoming a problem. So far so good. Stay tuned to see how this all ends. Happy growing everyone! 20 Aug 2021 It has been nearly 5 days since I’ve fed my ladies. I’m not proud of that fact, but it is what it is. They are all looking a little drawn out and dry, and a few of the leaves on C2 have gotten some pinkish/red borders on some of its leaves. I don’t really have any reason other than pure laziness! Today is the last day that I plan on giving plain pH’ed water, but I’m going to ease into nutrients on the next feeding by using half quantities till I see how they do. Today they each were given a gallon of water. The initial pH of each gallon was 7.3. I added 3 gtts (.2ml) of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted their pH levels to: C1 - 6.7, C2 - 6.6, and C3 - 6.7. Their TDS levels going in were: C1 - 90 ppm, C2 - 95 ppm, and C3 - 92 ppm. Runoff pH and TDS levels were: C1 - pH 5.8, TDS 422 ppm C2 - pH 6.0, TDS 529 ppm C3 - pH 5.8, TDS 489 ppm The temperature in the tent was 82F, and humidity was 53%. The plants still look pretty good, and are continuing to grow and adjust well to their recent changes. I’ve decided to just let these ladies grow naturally to see how it goes. What I mean is that I’m not planning on using any LST or HST methods to train them. I do plan on topping them at some point, but not yet. I’ll just have to see how it goes. Happy growing everyone!

Perfect to this point dense even colas. Smelling great covered in 💎 last week has been compost teas last one given today. Only water for the next 7-10 and nothing after that till harvest besides 36hr of darkness Home stretch time

Only thing i did this week is just pulling the branches and let her go
