1/8/2023: chop day! Using a little 2x2 AC Infinity tent to dry in. Have an AC unit in the lung room trying to keep temps as close 60ยฐ as I can. I live in AZ, so it is dry here, so I have a humidifier in the tent set to 60%. I will dry the whole plant for between 12 to 16 days.

OK guys I'm starting at the beginning of week 5 so this one is only a few days after my last addition the the diary. I noticed the very first pistils so now we are in week 1 of flower. Punch 2 has dark greeb, curled down edges, maybe a nitrogen toxicity? I don't think I'm over watering, they didn't have water for 6 days when I noticed these symptoms. Punch 1 doesn't have the dark green edged fan leaves or the curling down, but there are some pale white spots and smudges at the ends of the fan leaves. Any ideas guys? I'm new to this so not 100% what is going on or how to fix. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys๐ŸŽ„

๐Ÿคค**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 5 Flowering Phase** ๐ŸŒ… Yooo, whatโ€™s good? Zuppler here with that Week 5 flowering update, straight from the capital. Weโ€™re deep in the game now, and these girls are lookin' like straight-up champs. Buds are swellinโ€™ up nice, and the resinโ€™s startin' to drip like syrup on pancakes, ya feel me? The canopyโ€™s thick, them colas just stackin' higher every day. That front-left queen I mentioned last week? Sheโ€™s still flexinโ€™, lookinโ€™ even better than before. Buds on her are fattenin' up like she knows sheโ€™s the star of the show. Definitely a keeper, no doubt about it. Environmentโ€™s still locked in tight, no changes on my end. Lights are sittin' right where they need to be, and them girls are lovinโ€™ every minute of it. Advanced Nutrients still doinโ€™ the trick, and the RO waterโ€™s keepin' everything clean and mean. Ainโ€™t no issues here โ€“ just lettinโ€™ the magic happen. Trichs are startinโ€™ to cloud up, and the smell? Bruh, itโ€™s gettinโ€™ loud in here, like a bass drop in the club. Weโ€™re just lettinโ€™ them do their thing now, and itโ€™s lookin' like weโ€™re on track for some serious heat. That front-left queen, sheโ€™s gonna be somethinโ€™ special when itโ€™s all said and done. Zuppler out. Stay hard!

Hey growmies, It's been four days since the last short. Today, the Pink Gelato finally started drinking water again. Looks like the cinnamon and light watering actually helped. The other plants are doing okay, but the heatโ€™s getting to them too. I think harvest time is coming up soon โ€“ just gotta find the right moment to start drying. All three plants got two liters with Cal-Mag today. Fingers crossed they all pull through!

@MephistoGenetics, 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. 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 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 10 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 paper towel 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 Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

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 a movie.

The tallest pheno is ready and being flushed for a couple of days now, rhe others are close but still consuming nutrients at a strong rate , I think they will take at least 1 more week. They smell very much like gelato as a group but are all very different from one another .

Well this was quite an experience, from the nice box the dutch passions come in to the germination , vigours sprouts came about, and took well to transplant. Potted each of these into their own soil and peat mix, layered seven of each i think with perlite. they got CELLMAX soil, best soil I've ever used for sure, it's horticultural soil so it's been steamed meaning no pollutants and no pests. The room itself this time i had reworked a bit, still loads of bends on the tubes though, but had a proper intake this time with a fine mesh filter so nothing got into the room. Had the pots elevated only by the time flower came around same for the CO2 so I only had a few good weeks with it. Didn't kill the plants though, so I'll review using it in my Six shooter diary, check it out . Anyway these plants veged out , and in the first weeks had the light too high for how strong/weak it was (it's crazy how close you need to have it actually!) and the little seedlings stretched some, so I LST'ed all of them. They all took to LST really well actually. The biotabs plant was the first one to sort of musle through her bindings, and i ended up feeling sorry for it and removing them thinking the bend was mostly done anyway. It didn't help that this was a corner plant and I just didnt really have access to it as nicely as the others. Anyway the LST wasnt done though and the plant fully redressed showing only a little bend towards its base at harvest time. The Mr. B's showed the best results on LST. It got bent 90ยฐ then grew out but managed to stick it's main cola out just in time i guess, so it had several mains maybe 3 maybe 4 and several side shoots. The Vertafort one took to LST the worst of the three (through no fault on vertafort's nutrient's part!) It basically got bent 90ยฐ but got held down too much by the bindings , and being a corner plant simply it got less light the whole grow, being overtaken by the other plants in the tent. Through veg though these grew to nice busheles, each in their own style, pushing out fat indica leaves , mostly being kept at appropriate VPDs. Note that the temps i've recorded are for maximum temperatures hey ! Anyway it I ended up with an uneven canopy by the start of flower stretch due to the different LST styles and the different growth rates, the vertafort one being basically stunted. During flower stretch these stretch ! lol doubled in size at a steady rate I can tell because the biotabs one was basically no longer LST'ed right? Anyway way blueberry styles not so much auto gsc styles that much I can tell you. The longer side colas a great too, they're much longer than the GSC's side colas and they have two or more flower nodes more each. By week 4 of flower the Mr. B's started to look pro, with a nice canopy and several distinguishable mains sticking out from the bush. The vertafort one was a corner plant so I just paid less attention to it - too bad for me ! Anyway the flowers themselves started to emerge with a calyx to larf ratio of 1:0 for the biotabs ones, and I started getting stoked. I could already tell from the squeeze that these would be nice and dense nuggy nug nugs just like I like them. The Mr.B's one was different though, the flowers grew all up and down the colas like they were all filled up. The sugar leafs themselves were like non-existant on Mr.B's but long and thin on the Mr.B's. Then the stacking began, last quite a while to finish up and rippen, i'd say from week 8 through 13. The trichomes reached out, filled up some, curled, in and were full white. I noticed some amber trichomes and it was time for the chop ! Throughout the grow I tried something new. From joining GD on my first grow I got loads of goodies from @Mrs_Larimar with the Mr.B's nutrients - thank you so much ! - and the biotabs contest , plus the Vertafort that came with seeds from the folks at Zambeza, Zamnesia, and RQS , all of these were dry nutrients, and I got those micro nutrients from my friends too. Great experience using dry nutrients, much more affordable on the whole, easier to measure too. That didnt stop me from messing up a few measures though ! So For most of the grow I planned to add my own micro. I had four micro powders made. One green one for early veg with all the "rare metals" in it at 2% , a bio cal mag, white powder for veg and early flower and a cal mag and mag sulfur I meant to use during flower. So I ended up giving a quarted dose of the organic cal mag most of the time then in flower still had them on a quarter dose of cal mag sulfur before i realised and switched up too late. My whole micro line up i think would cost 10 dollars retain and I had plenty of it left over i think it should last like 4 grows. Not that I'll use it again unless i can get a steady supply - a the travails of the underground micro nutrient market. Worked great though, pH neutral, i used it as spray too, next time I'll mix in humic acid directly in the same feed, because why not and because I would have massively helped. Sometimes in flower i used only calmagsulfur and maybe I didnt mix it in very well but i would dump everything on anyway , a couple time I would check after water and the clumps had formed like 3 inch crystal formations on the top of my soil... Anyone ever seen that before? maybe it's a good sign idk, i usually tried plain water to dissolve them asap. The biotabs worked great on the Colorado cookies though, that much I can say, no excesses of any sort detected, leaves weren't too dark green at all. Mr.B's turned out a BEAST , but that could be from the LST aswell... the vertafort one ended up being a very healthy plant that never lacked anything either. Around halfway through flower I started traing the colas upwards where they were drooping on the biotabs plants and the Mr.b's plant, glad i did because i think plants like to make colas going straight up right? Chopped these at the top of week 14 which is 95 days from the moment i dunked them into the water kept a calendar which I'll show you. Hung to dry for 10 days, then jarred with the 62% boveda, burped inspected daily for a week, then weekly for two weeks. I weighted what I kept lol , no small buds this time, finally my grower dream realized ! So happy i got two (maybe three phenos) because I loved the flowers on the biotabs but I also loved the yielding of the LST'ed pheno. Plenty of wasted cola space though if I'm honest, should have defoliated more, maybe done that just at the edge of veg or something, maybe next time I'll try to flux like @silky_smooth so I can keep them in veg longer and make me a couple beasts. Had to travel to for two halfway through, so what I did was to put perlite in the trays, get the pots off their grills and onto the perlite then i bottom fed plain water, the idea being that the perlite would keep the water from evaporating from the trays too quickly, just as i was loading up the trays , the nex day I saw three thrips but they were flying all wierd and all strange so i thought maybe the airflow was f-ing them up ... and i had to leave anyway. Got back and the pots were bone dry but the plants hadn't died, and the temps were way up. I think the remaining perlite absorbs heat... Anyway started top feeding them again but by this time they were showing signs of stress especially the biotabs one, the mr.b's kinda recovered, and the vertafort was healthy enough it just looked like a bit of magnesium issue. May this could be a good technique for other folks to try. Like i said the perlite might absorb heat, so remove it when you dont need it anymore (i had issues with heat). Over all these gens are yielders, had some of my best work in here, and some less good work. I like having been able to use the GD platform as a companion app, was great fun really. it's great to be able to put all your pictures up and see them side by side, i tried to keep it organised so you and I can see some interesting things like the "three stages of LST" and other interesting nuggets of info. Speaking of nuggets I'll try to get some more and some better pics of the nugs in. Hope you'll visit this again ๐Ÿš€ EDIT: made some bubble hash for the first time, grower's priviledge ! only used the stems stalks and leafs for it, and it came out really delicious, smells like perfume, burns like incense and tastes like vanila and spices/hash lol basically used some bubble bags , rand the water through once, got negligeable 120s 75s and 45s but got some 25 quite a lot. ran it again, same results with just about the same amout of 25s, i thought i could go a third one, but got negligeable everything lol. Two passes for whatever that is in bubble hash lol, it's still got to dry for another week - bubble hash is kinda of the grower's priviledge, definitely recommend doing it ! ๐Ÿš€

Blueberry Muffin โ€“ Pheno A Week 7 | Every Plant Has Its Own Pace Welcome back to another week of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This project follows twelve different cultivars growing together under exactly the same conditions. Every plant shares the same environment, lighting, irrigation system, nutrient solution and care. The only real variable is genetics, making this a fascinating opportunity to observe how each cultivar expresses itself when everything else remains constant. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light schedule from seed, growing in a 15-litre AutoPot system beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED, while being documented from germination through to harvest. One of the biggest lessons this project continues to teach is that no two plants read the same script. Some sprint ahead. Others take their time. Blueberry Muffin has clearly chosen the second option. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Flower Development Flowering continues exactly as expected, although she remains one of the slower ladies in the room. The initial stretch is beginning to settle, while clusters of bright white pistils continue appearing across every flowering site. Buds are slowly beginning to define themselves, and although they aren't stacking aggressively yet, there is no doubt she has fully committed her energy to reproduction. At this stage I prefer to let the plants work without unnecessary interruptions. During the first two or three weeks of flowering they're busy redirecting energy from vegetative growth into flower production. Unless a plant truly needs intervention, I find it's often better to simply observe, let nature do its work and avoid creating unnecessary stress. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... ...is nothing at all. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Slowly Finding Her Colour Again Last week I mentioned that Blueberry Muffin was asking for a little more nutrition than some of her neighbours. That continues to be the case. She still isn't displaying the rich green colour I'd ultimately like to see, but the good news is that she's slowly responding. By the end of the week the foliage had noticeably improved, confirming that the adjustments are moving in the right direction. One of the challenges of running a room like this is that every plant shares the same reservoir. If this were a single-plant grow, I could tailor the nutrient solution specifically to her needs. But in a room containing twelve different genetics, the feeding programme has to serve the collective rather than the individual. Fortunately, the entire room reached the point where nutrient demand naturally increased this week, so the reservoir was adjusted accordingly. The increase wasn't made specifically for Blueberry Muffin, but it should help her continue recovering alongside the rest of the garden. Sometimes growing isn't about creating the perfect recipe for one plant. It's about finding the best balance for all of them. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ Structure & Personality Although she remains relatively compact compared to some of the other cultivars, Blueberry Muffin continues developing a very attractive structure. Her branches remain nicely spaced, the internodal distance is consistent, and light continues penetrating well throughout the canopy thanks to the gentle leaf management carried out during the vegetative stage. She's certainly not trying to be the biggest plant in the room. Instead, she's quietly building a neat framework that should support healthy flower development over the coming weeks. Not every champion announces themselves early. Some simply take a little longer to show what they're capable of. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environment The flowering room continues running under stable conditions, allowing the plants to focus their energy on flower production. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% ๐Ÿฅฅ Root zone temperature: 21ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature: 20.2ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: 5.8 โšก EC: 1.95 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: 693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 Consistency remains one of the greatest allies during early flowering, and maintaining a stable environment helps every cultivar express its genetic potential as evenly as possible. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ Feeding The AutoPot system continues delivering fresh nutrient solution whenever required, allowing the root zone to remain consistently supplied throughout flowering. This week's reservoir consists of: Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L Plagron Pure Zym โ€“ 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L pH adjusted to 5.8 The increase to 2 ml/L of Terra Bloom reflects the overall nutritional demand of the room as flowering progresses. Blueberry Muffin appears to be benefiting from this adjustment, and I'll continue watching her closely over the coming weeks to see if her foliage continues returning to a deeper green. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ Behind the Lens This week's photographs tell a story of patience. The flowers continue to develop steadily, fresh pistils cover every developing bud site, and the plant's elegant structure is becoming increasingly apparent. Perhaps the most interesting detail captured through the lens is the gradual improvement in leaf colour. It's subtle, but visible enough to suggest that she's beginning to settle into her new feeding regime. Photography often reveals progress that our eyes overlook during daily inspections. Looking back at previous weeks reminds me just how much can change in only a few days. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” Looking Ahead Over the next week I'll simply continue monitoring her progress without making unnecessary adjustments. I'm hoping to see the foliage continue regaining a richer green while the flowers begin putting more energy into stacking and bulking up. Blueberry Muffin may be taking her time... ...but that's perfectly fine. Every plant has its own rhythm, and one of the greatest lessons any grower can learn is knowing when to guideโ€”and when to simply let the plant write its own story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’š Thank You As always, thank you so much to everyone following this journey. Whether you've been here since germination or have only recently discovered the diary, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every question and every shared experience. Watching these twelve cultivars grow side by side has become an incredible learning opportunity, and it's even more rewarding because it's shared with such an amazing community. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document their experiences and continue learning together. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics and for allowing us to explore how this cultivar expresses itself under a unique 12/12-from-seed approach. To Plagron, thank you for providing the nutrients and growing media that support these plants through every stage of their journey. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for delivering the light that powers this entire project and helps every phenotype reveal its own unique character. Finally, thank you for being part of this adventure. Every photograph, every observation and every lesson becomes more meaningful because it's shared with this incredible community. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin continues finding her own pace through flower. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ

23.08 The Drainmaster moved into the tent to control the drain. Defoliated and lollipopped them. 25.08 First run with the drain system. Nutrient Solution (Tank): Volume: 8.5 L EC: 3.05 pH: 5.5 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom + CalMag Irrigation Run: Pump time: 30 minutes Total Drain: 5.0 L (โ‰ˆ 60%) Drain EC: 2.6 Drain pH: 6.0 ๐Ÿ”Ž Observations Drain volume was far too high (target is ~20%). Drain EC lower than input EC โ†’ medium was relatively โ€œemptyโ€, plants absorbed nutrients quickly. pH drift from 5.5 โ†’ 6.0 shows some buffering effect left in the reused substrate, but limited. Substrate behaves more like coco than soil now (low buffer, fast response). ๐Ÿ’ก Insight / Lesson Learned 30 minutes pump time is way too long โ†’ resulted in 60% runoff instead of 20%. For 8 ร— 1 L pots, a single irrigation event should be ~1.0โ€“1.2 L total, with ~200โ€“250 ml runoff. Solution: shorten pump time to ~5 minutes and re-test runoff. Better approach: run shorter, more frequent irrigations (daily) with a lower EC (2.0โ€“2.2), instead of heavy feedings (EC 3.0) only 3ร— per week. This will keep EC more stable in the root zone and prevent salt buildup in the tiny 1 L pots. 27.08 Adjusted the pump timer to 5 minutes, gave the first dose of PK13/14.

Dear Grow diaries, I have to listen to what the plants are telling me. looking at the the yellowing of the fans and the trichomes cloudy and amber I think its time to flush as I am 2 weeks out from harvest. This will put the Think different at 77days of flower and as I off set the Fast buds and MSNL by 14 days they should "Theoretically" finish at the same time. I needed this to happen because I only have one tent and it will serve as a drying and curing area. I replace my filter this year and my filter exhaust fan fell on the tangie matic I thought I killed it but its still hanging in there. I flushed with the Clean Fruits from Green Buzz today just over a gallon in each plant. I will flush again with 5 gallons in each pot tomorrow. The tangie and the Carmelicious were very dry the smoothie and the think different were still kind of heavy they are more Indica. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. 2 more weeks till 48hrs of darkness and then the chop. The End Has Begun.
