Week 8: Water and wait This Lady is SUCH a blast to watch!!!! Her giant colas and sugary orange nugs just sparkle with resin. The structure is GREAT for avoiding bud rot which would be my major concern here. She has been flushing for a week. I assume she has 1 or 2 more in her. Really excited to write this smoke report.

All of the plants have responded really well to LST using bends and ties, especially the Zkittlez auto, the tangie matic is also very vigorous and hungry. The rhino ryders seem to not like a lot of food so I’m going to reduce their daily intake somewhat.

Gave a light defol on the 21st, mostly on the California Orange Bud. It's been a pretty bushy strain this go around. Flowers are progressing on the younger plants and the older plants are starting to fatten a little.

The yellowing issue is fixed, due to this will have to flower them for longer time. About a week and a half is lost. Will see if I can get some more growth. I am most happy yield wise I think with purple lemonade and NL, but critical 2,0 is showing some Color and tangle dream is giving some red as well. Will try to take everything possible from them

Hi everyone ! Flo +43 I had a small problem of root rot, I had to clean the roots with hydrogen peroxide and empty the tank several times. they have suffered a little and the harvest will be affected. From now on, I will use hydrogen peroxide from seed to harvest to avoid root rot and bacteria. I will not be able to use organic fertilizer anymore. do you know an alternative to Roots Excelurator from House & Garden? (i guess it's organic ...)

Mañana es el turno de corte de esta semana. Estoy muy contento con el aspecto pero me ha quedado de todas las que plante con menor tamaño que el resto. Pero tiene pinta de que va a ser rica y poderosa. Ya les mandaré imágenes. Un abrazo

getting very close to harvest now. i think this diary showcases exactly what can happen to the inexperienced, careless and unlucky growers out there. im not even sure i could call it a transplant survivor its that small ahah. but yeah day 56 almost there! im gonna check the website to see harvest estimates but another 2 weeks and we should be done :). i cant even say that ive been adjusting much for this grow, ever since i stunted it hard ive just been feeding it the same as my other diaries (slightly less water per feed) and it isnt getting burnt by nutes, it just keeps flowering at its own slow pace. ive smoked the lowest pistils and flowers, leaving about 70% of the plant intact and growing :) and it has definitely got me almost more stoned than the street weed at home, its insane that a undeveloped plant is stronger than whats going around. bearing in mind its damp, not tasty and slightly harsh compared to the street stuff. Check out these videos and happy growing folks! keep an eye out for harvest ;)

Here we are almost at the end of this incredible journey, the tenth week of flowering is over, the growth and progress of my plant shows no signs of slowing down. Every day brings new surprises and advancements that continue to amaze me. The commitment to providing high-level care with Plagron's premium nutrients has proven instrumental in maintaining the plant's exceptional health and vigor. The results speak for themselves, as the plant continues to flower and show robust development. 💪🌿✨ The buds have expanded further in size and density, yielding under their weight, and displaying an eye-catching layer of resin that highlights the vitality and overall well-being of the plant. It's truly a sight to witness and a testament to the benefits of using high-quality nutrients throughout the growing process. The TrollMaster "TENT-X" environmental control system remains an indispensable component of my grow setup, ensuring that the grow room maintains the optimal balance between temperature and humidity levels necessary for plants to thrive. The system's precision control capabilities remain critical in creating an environment conducive to optimal plant growth. 😎💪 The 240W MEDIC GROW MINI-SUN 2 LED light continues to provide stellar lighting conditions, providing plants with a tailored spectrum that meets their specific growing needs. By carefully monitoring temperature, humidity and VPD data via control system graphs, I can make precise adjustments to optimize growing conditions and maximize plant health and productivity. 😍 I'm excited to share a video that captures this week's temperature, humidity, and VPD trends, offering a look at how these advanced technologies work together seamlessly to create the perfect growing environment for plants. It is truly amazing to see how these tools work in harmony to support the growth path of plants. As each week unfolds, I am filled with anticipation for the new discoveries and obstacles that await us in the grow room. With the unwavering support of Plagron nutrients, the continued reliability of the TrollMaster control system, and the exceptional lighting provided by MEDIC GROW LED, I am confident that the next week, as well as the last, will usher in further progress and triumphs in this cultivation journey. Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure of growing and exploring the wonders of growing plants! 💪👽🚀

My first grow ,I started with a HPS 600 double ended light Lumatec and at the beginning I knew that summer ☀️ is coming and that I'll have to change to LED , Fighting to keep my temperature and humidity at the right range .I made a decision to go with 20 / 4 light cycle.

8/17 Watered everything but the 50. Found two leaves with sep markings on the pink kish in the 50. Definitely not using old soil again. I'm pretty sure THIS plant contracted it from the soil and not the way the others did with the lawn mower and birdseed hijinx. It's supposed to rain for the first time basically all summer. It's am 80% chance so I HELD OFF ON PLANT DOCTOR AND DID NOT APPLY as I'm supposed to have a clear day after. I'll apply the plant doctor in the morning. I'm hoping this rain will knock down a bunch of those thrips. They seem to be on a small branch on a plant or two. One or two leaves show damage and I'll pick them off. I figure I'll get them after I apply plant doctor. I'll use either citric acid or just my regular bt-k pillar treatment with Castille or liquid soap. That will kill them as well. I'm on really worried about it. I also might just buy a bunch of lady bugs and unleash them once things get further along. EDIT: TOOK A QUICK VIDEO AND A COUPLE PICS. HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS RAIN. IF NOT IM GOING TO TREAT THE THRIPS THAT ARE ON TWO PLANTS NOW. I THINK IM GOING TO GO WITH BT-K FOR NY PILLARS AND HOPE THAT THE DISH SOAP IN THE MIX KILLS THE THRIPS. I HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS SO ILL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. BUDS SEEM TO BE EXPLODING IN GROWTH. OH AND THANKS TO THE OUTDOOR GROWER THAT MESSAGED OFFERING TO HELP. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANKS. 8/18 We got the rain we were expecting. It was sheet rain for a few hourscand rained during the night. Everything was drenched and it was cold (50°F). I shook off the special kush that's way further in flower. I decided to use the leafblowrr despite the risk of spreading anything. I did it so that it wasn't ever blowing TOWARDS another plant but still. I was hoping it might blast off some thrips that might have survived that torrential rain. We've never had a dry summer like this. I'll moniter things. My water day is tomorrow so I assume that's when the girls will get their plant doctor dose. It's a great time of year for cannabis growers. We get to watch all the hard work we've put in literally pay off. It's very peaceful in the garden. EDIT: Went over at about one to check things out and do some minor defoliation. I checked on the thrip situation and I dont know if I blasted them off with the leafblower or if the rain washed them away bit I doubt it. Ivecmade the decision to treat these little bastards. It's on one plant but it's started to spread to another branch on another plant. I probably just overlooked it but still. Seeing that it rained like he'll and I'm seeing like zero signs of septoria I'm going to treat everything. At least I think I am. I haven't decided what to use. I think I could just use bt and soap and I'd probably be alright. I'd feel better doing that as it's something I'm familiar with. Outdoor growing. It's always something. 8/19 In the 40's last night. Hopefully that will help with the thrips. I was hurried and since today tops at 72° I only watered the 10th planet big mk ultra and the chem dog with preventative plant doctor. I'm not seeing hardly any septoria and if I do itsca random leaf. I mixed up 3tsp of citric acid and some Dawn in a 2 quart hand sprayer and treated the 10th planet that I thought had heat stress and the Pink kush in the ten gal that has the damage. I also treated a branch on my good tenth planet. It was the only branch with markings so I think I've got it early enough. I'm just wondering the best way to tackle this. The pink kush I'm sure, could handle spinosad. That strain is much later flowering. I'll see how the citriccacid works and go from there. If the other girls need water they'll get it when I get home alongcwith plant doctor. I've got some work to do. I'll keep this updated. Opinions are always welcome.
