Left um 4 days over Christmas being a lazy bum and come back to half a tent off yellow a lot of fan leaves are looking sickly / fell off altogether most yellow leaves have been pulled off plants lost a lot of they fam leaves all in maybe abit too many , it’s hard because one person tells ya leave um all on and another person will tell ya take um all off so we just been seeing what works ourselfs and still ain’t got the foggiest , when ya rub the buds you get hints off lemon / pepper and fresh dog shit 🤣🤣 as I say we have um last feed of nutes this week and started to flush um they take about 6 litres of water through the pots untill any type of coloured run off and we only have 100l so 3 days at it we got through about 10 plants and we gave up 🤣🤣 so again intrested to see the finished prouduct if flushing does change the taste of the smoke , saying this the plants we have flushed seem to be looking alot more healthy than the ones we haven’t so deffo leaning towards a lockout or too high nutes for the girls , alot of rusting and alot of burnt frazzled tips one plant we chopped early and didn’t even get a gram of smoke able off it just alot of leaf n skinny buds , it being a first time go at this I’m not really too disappointed with the outcome but deffo kicking myself at how many I rammed in togther , some of the top Kolas are looking 10/10 but other than the top kolas the rest ain’t worth a wank to me , all in all learnt a lot though so excited to finish this one up and get cracking with number 2 I’m leaning towards bud Buddha seeds cheese puffs after smoking some zheez that’s going around the country at the minute cheese x zkittles , anyway happy growing people and don’t forget to drop a comment if you have anything to say or ask

Week 8 saw the plant stack on some very nice starter buds. I can already see where the colas will stack and fill out to form lovely nuggets by the end of the run. They look to be dense already which is always a great sign! Weather here in OK has been vacillating between overcast rainy days and full sun not-a-cloud-in-the-sky weather so she has spent an equal amount of time under an HID as she did the sun since the last update. Usually she is outdoors from 11am to sundown and then I move her inside under the HID for night hours. She gets a four hour lights off in early morning before setting her back out in time to catch the noon sun. It seems to have worked pretty well splitting her time in this way and I feel a lot better about it than if I just let her spend 24/7 outside. I feel her auto genetics would not benefit from the extra dark time associated with a pure outdoor run. She already doesn't get full sun for the entirety of her time outside due to trees and other houses blocking sun during certain parts of the day. This seems to be a nice balance but I realize it doesn't qualify as a true outdoor run. Still doing daily checks for aphids and other undesirables as Oklahoma has lots of them that can devastate a plant in a matter of days if not monitored closely. I keep her a good distance from my other outdoor plants and she never touches the ground. So far so good. I did lollipop her toward the middle of this week and proceeded the next day with aggressive defoliation to open up light penetration to the rest of the mid-section. As always, the cultivar responded well to my interference. I am seeing some rusty spots on otherwise green leaves and some very light yellowing of the plant overall. I hit her with another dose of nutrients and some recharge to hopefully correct. Not sure what the rusty spots are; hoping just some pH flux that will be easy to correct. Any insight from those who might have it, is welcomed! Thanks for following along and please click "Like" below if you dig what I'm doing here. Cheers! 👊🌱☮️✌️

[DAY 57] - 27/07/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - In the next few days I will raise the EC from 1.2/1.3 up to 1.5/1.7 and increase the bloom dose, at the moment I am still giving the pre-flo dose; - I'm trying to promote the growth of the left side and for this reason I moved the lamp far to the left in order to get more light in those still low points (for two days, then it will come back to the center of the box); - This also allows me to bring the lamp closer to the highest right branch, as it only gets side light. For this reason, despite the proximity there should be no burning problems, I will keep the situation under control; [DAY 58] - 28/07/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.5 - PH 6; - Today I added 1.5 liter to the DWC with this composition: Water EC 0; Silicate and CalMag up to 0.4; A+B up to 1.4; Bloombastic up to 1.7; 0.2 ml/l Hydro booster; 2 ml/l H2O2 [DAY 59] - 29/07/2022 - Lamp 44 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - moved the lamp 10 cm away more to promote stretch (tip by my friend @SwissKush); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.5 - PH 6; - A lot of resin on the leaves, nice smell; - Took a video for a growquestion. [DAY 60] - 30/07/2022 - Lamp 43 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - tomorrow I raise lamp 5 cm more; - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 70%; - EC 1.7 - PH 6; - Removed 3 damaged leaves, with the beginning of next week I will make a big cut under the net, there are too many leaves and flowering sites that do not take light and it is useless to keep them; - She's drinking about 2.5 liter of solution/day [DAY 61] - 31/07/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (23 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 29°-30° - RH 60%; - EC 2 - PH 5.9; - Removed some damaged leaves and a few leaves that were stealing too much light to the lower flowering sites, about fifteen leaves removed. 10 hours to recover from it. Still a lot to cut down there in the coming days when buds begin to form; - The EC went up by about 0.3 in 24 hours, this is due to the Bloombastic, the plant does not want it for now; - From tomorrow I will proceed to a small flush by adding 2 liters of water a day with EC 0 to prepare the DWC for the new feed for the new week (which will start on day 64). [DAY 62] - 1/8/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (150 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.8 - PH 5.8; added 2 liter of demineralized water EC 0 - PHed [DAY 63] - 2/8/2022 - Lamp 46 cm from the center of the canopy (22 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT SMART PLUG SAYS: 144 WATT AT 100% DIMMER. I don't like it! - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.6 - PH 6; added 2 liter of demineralized water EC 0 - PHed. Tomorrow I'll replace the whole bucket with new feed EC 1.7 PH 6; - I believe the plant is no longer growing, and I also notice that the buds are slowly swelling. Tomorrow I tie back the main colas and then in the next days I will remove everything that does not get light, I hope it reacts well 🙏

It's a little tedious currently as I had 2 plants( bag seed and dark angel)going before my new set up arrived and was installed. After I set everything up I sowed 3 autos(ethos) 3 days later everything has popped and is looking good thus far. I have one in a 20g fab pot, 7g fab pot, and a 3g fab pot.

Welp, I have overgrown my tent in the future 6 plants are the max for this 5x5, I did not expect this kind of growth from an auto flower Buds are putting on weight and the smell is coming in strong, sugar leaves are coming in nice and most of my stalks are getting hairy, never seen that on any of my plants Hoping I haven’t fucked myself making too many bud sites but we are just going to send it and see what happens

So finally a dream come set off my next run . Thank you so much to the anonymous generous-hearted genetics inventors who sent me these mysterious seeds. Soaked them with a few drops of kelp extract concentrate i had made for my last grows. Meanwhile this is a bio tabs run, and let me just take the time right now to thank BIG K from @biotabs_f69 for all the help learning more about biotabs ! So it's a front loaded activity, followed the instructions on the box for the biotabs, placed two, added the myco to the substrate and the plug hole watered with orgatrex and my very own smart protein you guys. This is a different type of additive that works like carbos but is directly accessible to the plant. Let's see how it works out ! Germination rate for me was 10/10 , poked out overnight, now the veg begins. I'll be applying a variety of techiques while i set up a perpetual rotation. Advice welcome 🚀 watering 200 ml twice to three times a day , carefully as to not compact the soil - just something i learned from my last grow that really works out over time ! 🚀

(The numbers of this harvest are from a single plant) I ended REAL ORGANIC and let plants dry by themselves on their pots outside the tent and gradually day after day i was picking and selecting dry buds from the branches 2 smoke m all! This particular diary gave me a sense of adventure, and a lot of fun, i´ll always remenber that made my quareentine a lot easier to live, by that time i felt i was prepared even for the end of the times if it comes to that 😂

Hello everyone Last week I cut the Gorilla Skittles after two days in the dark. I put it in the drying cabinet for two more days hanging upside down. After that I separated into branches and hung on hangers. It dried in the closet for 7-9 days when I started trimming the branches that were already ready on the seventh day. Photos, weight and more details in the harvest post. As for the wedding cake, yesterday I finished washing and put it in the dark for 40 hours. Due to extreme heat problems and my broken ac, my plants are suffering from heat and you can see the signs on them. Hope it don't do too much damage. Keep following, more details later :)

9/22 topped them at 4th node. some of them are looking better for mainlining that others. some of them i may not mainline and others i left an extra node in case i want to keep clones around. #1 is looking happy with the topping and looks really good. #2 is the only one thats been praying and is the tallest and strongest looking all around. #5 short and such tight internodal spacing that it makes it hard to see whats all there. just looks like a bunch of small leaves until they grow out. i may not mainline this one either be cause of it being so tightly packed it may make it 9/27/24 day 20 theyre growing quite well. #1 i ended up taking the bottom nodes. i was originally goi g to use them as clones later on but decided to just let her go with her 4 nodes. #5 is so tightly packed, she has like 8 mains all in such a small space, its hard to even make sense of it all.

The plants had water week one and most of week , then at the end of week 2 I added a little Elite 91 roots to the feeds. I started these outside and have repotted them today into 5 litres pots, premixed with some Greenhouse Feed Biogrow . They also came inside today and sit under by 100w Quantam board easygrow miracle. About the genetics Mr X Kush is from Plantformers a breeder and great guy from just outside Amsterdam , it is a mix of Platinum OG and Durban Poison. Kmintz from a Ripper Seeds a cross of Kush Mints and Zkittles. Sounds legit. Both strains I need to try. These were gifted by Organic Earth in Maastricht, a nice shop . They also gave me Papaya x THC bomb from Purple City Genetics in Oakland USA. Papaya x (Purple Urkel x THC Bomb) OGKZ is an OGKB x Zkittles from Humboldt seeds a breeder that always seem to bring the frost and terps in my past experience. Finally Cuppa T is a regular cross my friend made from UKORG Disco Biscuit and Connoiseur Gentics Purple Cheddar

Still fighting a little bit of nutrient burn, went out an bought a blugardian all In one meter and going to go by E.C. instead of ppm. Took away a few of the big fan leaves blocking the lower sight. More tricombs forming all over the place. Let me know what you think, what I can change for next time or any other coments

What can I say— it’s just a runt. I tried! Smells great, but it’s larfy and airy and mediocre at best. Flowering on week 2! No time for anything—

Esta semana seguí con 18 hrs unos días hasta que hoy le cambie el fotoperiodo a 12/12 y le puse otro foco más. Seguiré así una semana y luego pasaré a nutrientes de flora.

Hello everyone, what's growing on? So lads, this week I'll add some Big Bud Coco in their nutrition. Day 43 - The plants were defoliated and removed some of the bottom buds that weren't developing well, so to avoid waste of energy and nutrients. I hope this help the main colas in their grow. Day 46 - They are doing great and I already can sense from the flowers. The plant 1 is spreading well and with an even canopy, while the plant 2 is getting very dense and bushy. Both of them are being trained daily. Because of the hot days we had, they got 500mL a day before light time.

Day 15 Both plants didn't show any stress after transplant. Started with a light feed to introduce nutrient schedule.. Day 21 they look super healthy.
