Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, Iโ€™ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lotโ€™s of clear trichomes. Iโ€™ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽ„ I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I donโ€™t flush, but rather โ€œrinseโ€ with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse โ™ป๏ธ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ

2/24 MONDAY. 1am Starting to take off now, BPP is catching up all the others are great. Wont be cranking up the light its getting warm and I like to keep my grows low power and cool. 3pm Put Witches Wedding in Tent4 with Rickyโ€™s Hash Plants Lights up to 65W. 2/26 LST on BPP๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ 2/28 4am. good. 2-4pm topped Mix Pack started bottom feeding and get good results 1 glass on top then slowly add to bott 12-2pm repotted Fast Buds Mix Pack she is TALL so I felt she needed a more comfortable home, it was a difficult keeping her watered as well. I will top her tomorrow probably. Apricot is having trouble with the re-used dirt I put in. So I did a flush and saw it was overloaded with nutrients, too dark. She should catch up in 3 or 4 days no problems. They surprise me with how they recover and reconfigured their branch and root system and start to get HUGE like nothing happened so I know Apricot will recover. 3/1 2am made some more air filters. 6am 3/2 12am They look great 6 AM. I watered again from the bottom and a little bit at the top. They are phenomenal. I think my new watering technique helps. Iโ€™ve only been watering from the top and I think thatโ€™s been a problem. I do a 50-50 split of bud igniter with big bud by advanced nutrients next week. It will be 2 mL of big bud or maybe one. Weโ€™ll see how the flowers progress. ๐Ÿ‘ 3/4 4am Flushed Apricot with a gallon of water 6.4pH followed by normal nutrient until enough runoff, then bottom fed after returning to tent she took up water and is looking better today.

Day 98 and its the end of the grow. 1st I'm going say thanks to @fastbuds for the seeds, very much appreciated. This week I flushed until my EC was close to my waters EC which took 4 days. On day 97 I gave all 4 the chop. So they been drying for 24hr so far, i haven't done any trimming yet just left them with plenty of leaves on, hopefully they should take a week to dry, I'll prob do some trimming during that period. The only plant that could have done with some more time in tent was the lemon pie, maybe she needed another 5 days or so to finish swelling up. As far as the grow went it wasn't bad, hit some problems, mainly temps outside being so damn cold near the beginning that I was struggling getting temps up. Also I cut out using hydroguard to early and the roots started to suffer. I'll put harvests of all 4 plants when they have been dried and cured for a least a week most likely 2. Hopefully by then I'll have got my jobs needed doing on the house and can start all over again, not sure what seeds I'm going to get yet, if anyone has any autoflower recommendations shout them out.

Tag 28 - Ende der 4. Woche. In dieser Woche an Tag 22 habe ich das Licht auf 12/12 umgestellt und es sind schon die ersten einzelnen Stigmen ersichtlich. Die Pflanze entwickelt sich sehr gut und hat den vegetativen Wachstum fast komplett eingestellt. In der kommenden Woche, werde ich den Dรผnger auf die Blรผte umstellen und wahrscheinlich die Pflanze davor noch etwas entlauben. An Tag 22 wurde die Pflanze zum letzten Mal mit vegetativen Dรผnger gedรผngt. Nรคhrstofflรถsung: 2 ml/l - B-52 Advanced Nutrients. 3 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part A 3 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Grow Part B Davon hat die Pflanze 500ml an Tag 22 erhalten.

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 โ€‹โ€‹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 theme 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 Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 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 4 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 perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 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 movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water.

Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. KL 12.00. The girls got 2 liters of water each with nutes in it, added a video. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-06. KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. The Nr 3 girl is still a little bit behind the other 2 girls and all the 3 girls look like there 3 different pheno of the same plant. KL 23.30. Did some LST. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 21 from sprouting, Nr3 is 17 days from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added a video of the girls, its 10 H after defoliation, LST and leaftucking. I think its looking good. Kl 22.30. New pics.

She is officially on the 6th week now and here was how week 5 went! It was the most dramatic week so far, really started to fill out now and even the popcorn buds and starting to get some weight too. Now itโ€™s just waiting for her to finish swelling then hopefully we will see her nearly ripened by end of next week! Smells fab! I can understand where the cookie idea comes from, my room smells like I have a warm batch of a variety of biscuits and cookies fresh out the oven cooling off!

The girls have come a long way, it's the start of week 11 form seed. This is week six in flower ( if you count one week for transition?) we made it past the 3 - 5 gallon transplant shock, topping, defoliating, most importantly the HERMIE INVASION. Which come to find out, they were straight dudes as I gave them to my neighbor for decoration with the rest of his Floral and fauna. I would check on them every few days. not even drag queens just dudes. this is week 1 of late feeding per the EH chart and no more grow nutrients . Now its all about bud production and getting the flush time correct. I'm thinking the last 3 weeks just PH 6 water to use up the food in the coco coir and drain the salts out. any thoughts on flushing please let me know your thoughts, any positive or negative experiences you have had. I am courting on you GD community your my only hope. "episode IV reference"๐Ÿ˜Ž
