Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened.
To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers.
No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary.
Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now
Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite.
As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now.
Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along.
As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space.
I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night.
My tea recipe:
Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons
I bubble that with added minerals for a day
Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea)
I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology.
Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes.
Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional.
What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow.
Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

Hello everyone. The week went well, our girl is growing, enjoying a diet of 2000 ppm. On December 17.12.2023, we'll switch the light to 12/12, it's time to start flowering.
We took clones from our girl on December 10, 2023. The clones look healthy, but I haven't seen any roots yet, so I'm not sure whether to switch our girl to flowering or wait a bit longer. You'll find out about my decision next week. Don't forget to leave comments and ratings. Thanks, everyone.

4/7/24 added worm casting(finally) lol
4/8 took off lowest node
4/10 they may have slower growth. Worried about my humidity at night.
4/11 growing more wide now. Trying to tuck leaves to show more of the nodes but they aren’t quite tall enough
4/14 day 21 end of week 3. Both phenos are thick and fluffy. I’m impatient and curious and decided to top one of them.
Ps. Early this week, they have shown pistils but it may just be showing sex

Salute, topman.
It is this bush that will be 160 grams, and all together with the neighboring ones - 780 grams of dry and 250 second-rate, although 1100-1250 was expected ...
Probably overkill with the far red 660nm booster (one of the bushes was super bubbly and airy, but gave only 100g when 300g was expected...).
In general, I try this beauty for the second time, the second time I am pleased, but this time with the most exquisite taste and smell.
To say I recommend is an understatement!
Look how it all began! ^^

@FAST_BUDS,
Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries.
This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow.
First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom.
I put some pictures on the construction here in week one.
The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters.
It provides a floor area of 3.6 square meters.
I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps.
I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside.
The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement.
Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement.
I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition.
I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me.
But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important.
Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days.
I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out.
..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome.
I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :)
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics.
............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots.
................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-08-29.
Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary.
I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine.
Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here.
I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops.
I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden.
This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great.
Added some pics with measurements and a movie. Everything is looking great right now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-08-31. New video of the girls.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gorilla zkittlez on the left and Blue Sherbet x purple punch on the right.
Everything works perfectly. This week I add power feeding booster. I have some left. I know it's not the best when you do everything in organic. But it's full of minerals and I want to avoid deficiencies I had in my previous grow.
I started to see trichromes. But it doesn't really smell in the grow space. When smell the my fingers after I had touche the bud, I smell something really sweet for both strains.

GENERAL COMMENT.
This week ran nicely for the two girls, of course one is going slower than the other.
RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO.
Super happy with the results so far, she grew nice size buds, in the surrounding and a big fat main cola, just beautiful.
As we are entering the last week, of last tree days, I choose to lollipop and take do a pre harvest defoliation, the reasons for that is mould and rot, I started to become insecure because she didn’t have airflow and as i was flushing humidity started to raise, all good, and now just approaching harvest!
Flushing with flawless finish and tap water.
