Very saddened by the turn of events, 3 herms, 2 different grow environments, but each tent had another strain growing along with it. No seeds or problems with the Cookies strain… I had no power outages, no light leaks, no schedule changes, and performed relatively little defoliation during flower. To me, this cannot be attributed to stress, as they showed no sign of stress or deficiency’s throughout the grow. Long story short, booooooo.

Finally flipped and HOLY MOLY is it awesome to start seeing the flowers coming in for the first time on your first grow. Super delayed flip to flower and I am manually switching the lights/opening tent every day due to prioritized spending. BIG HUMIDITY PROBLEM. As I have still not hooked up an outtake fan for the tent I don't see my girls surviving past the next couple weeks so hopefully I can get that figured out. I'll open it up to 95% RH by morning and it sits around 60% even with an open tent. Other than that, I'm happy with the bud sites gained from my first ever grow. Just feeling my way through Topping, Fim, SCROG, and LST was fun a rewarding for sure. Just have to make sure they reach the finish line. TUES: Cleaned tent floor and walls with disinfectant wipes, seemed to get rid of the smell so far. Still worried about the humidity in the closed tent during the dark period. Need a duct fan hardcore before the buds start coming in. The first sight of trichs already sent me into a Powdery Mildew panic. 😱 THURS: Humidity break. Down in the 45% range and have been able to keep it in the 80s with a huge bowl of dried pasta in the tent lmao no coffee whitener or rice on hand πŸ˜’ Defoliation of light blockers and bunch ups to improve the airflow in the canopy. I'm hoping the UV lights in my LED set up are enough to keep mildew at bay and can get the dark period RH% down before buds fatten and there is risk for rot.

The vegetative cycle ends, I started the 12/12 cycle. I gave them a foliar irrigation with a flora stimulant and I also stayed with a clone of Amnesia Haze. Work is coming during the flowering.

Currently in the 9th day of Flower and the buds are starting to form nicely. I am spotting a small zinc deficiency on the leaves, the colour inside the leaf is light greenish. The PH was a bit too high and last week also might overdid it with the nutes. Solution for now is down the PH day by day till I reach 5.8 and then let it rise up again slowly. Lets see how the new leaves will form and the bud thickens. Smell is really great, strong pungent and exotic.

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 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 .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 50 cm high and nr 3 is 15 cm high. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Nr 2 has grown 5 cm in 23 h, its incredible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00.

Updated with new video. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New pics and videos. Girl Nr 1 is 33 cm high, Nr2 is 70 cm and girl Nr is 22 cm. Nr 2 has grown 20 cm the last 3 days. Look at the stem of girl Nr 2 😍 The girls are starting to smell a lot now. Its a intense smell in the grow room. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Nr 2 is 76 cm tall now, i wonder when she slows down?.

Targona: 43 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Sixth week of growth for my Auto Melonade Runtz πŸ‰πŸ₯€πŸ‰ Nutrients: BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which is naturally found in citrus fruits πŸ‹πŸ‹ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- T.A. FlashClean is a specially designed cleaning system that removes (dissolves) salt residues from fertilizers, but also allows new nutrient binding between plants and the system. Apart from the final flush, this T.A. FlashClean can be used at any time during the plant life cycle πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’š General: Auto Melonade Runtz πŸ‰πŸ₯€πŸ‰ - The plant does not look healthy. At the beginning, when the leaves first wilted and the first brown spots appeared, I thought I had slightly overfed the plant with nutrients. It's strange because I give the other girls exactly the same ratio of nutrients and they didn't react like this. Maybe it's a less stable seed, I don't know. Anyway, I decided to flush the plant with T.A. FlashClean. I did it 3 times, but unfortunately, the girl keeps turning yellow πŸ‚πŸ‚πŸ˜• Training: At the moment I'm just removing the yellow twisted leaves, some fall off on their own. I probably won't give the girl any more nutrients, only if she shows deficiencies in essential components, which won't be easy to recognize in her condition. πŸ’šπŸ˜Ÿ Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50 cm between the light and the plants, so I move it up regularly πŸ’‘πŸ’‘πŸ’‘ Thanks for the likes See you soon 😍😍

There are some yellowing on the leafs, hope it's because I am overfeeding them. Will try to feed every other watering this week. Buds are getting bigger and more colorful, have no clue how much longer is left, hopefully 2-3 more weeks.

4/6 Woke to see two seedlings have lost their shell. Only one had a weird long curvy taproot that has come out of the soil. I'm not sure if I should perform surgery or just wait it out. I mean I can see the seed on top and the cotylden leaves. It's like it dips and can't hold the seedling up. The other mk ultra popped excellently and another has the seed visible. I'll do some research but I'm now doing away with peat pellets and going right into soil from now on. It seems like these just cause problems. The seedlings under the hps are doing better. I think it was smart to switch the light. I can see what MIGHT ve burns on a couple seedlings and TWO haven't developed there true leaves or are very stunted. So if those three don't make it ill be replacing them with the ones I just popped. I may pop tge other two mk ultra but more likely I'll wait the three days until my 10th planet comes. I took apart some of the sour cherry seedlings just to see how they were growing. Makes me feel better as it might not look that great on top but they were working on developing roots. I'll update later. I've got a lot going on in my life but I need to make sure I take care of my seedlings. 4/7 Pretty sure I watered today. I'll have to check but I know I did. Things are going better. I think that bigger light stunted them. The 2 mk ultra and 1 chem dog #4 sprouted and were in peat pellets. I transplanted them into solo cups with happy frog and put them on the outskirts of the light. I thought i might've lost one because the taproot came out of the ground and bent. I'm suprised it came out of it to be honest. And fast too! My Etho's 10th planet came so I'm thinking of popping a couple of those as well. They won't be stunted and this strain has done the best by me. 4/8 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS BESIDES THE FRESH TRANSPLANTS. Forgot my water yesterday so I'll pop a couple 10th planet today. I MIGHT not lose any seedlings. They seem to be coming out of being stunted. The ones that WERE stunted anyway. However there are a couple I'm not sure of. Better safe than sorry. I'm getting excited. I'm going to bring the other hps light to my cousin and he'll fix it quick. That way I might not even need to switch to the L.E.D (that I'm not as familiar with.) I'm sure it will be fine either way. Clones did great under the l.e.d. I think it's just a bit much for seedlings. Which is strange since they sprout under the sun? I have the least experience dealing with seedlings as I usually but clones. I forgot to take pictures too. I have to go back over and ill take some. ADDED A FEW PICTURES AND POPPED 2 ETHO'S 10TH PLANET SEEDLINGS. THIS WAY I CAN SAVE A FEW AND ILL HAVE MOST OF KY BEANS FOR NEXT YEAR. IVE GOT A BUNCH OF AUTOS TOO BUT IVE NEVER GROWN ONE. ONCE THINGS SETTLE DOWN AND AFTER THIS SEASON I MAY TRY MY HAND AT INDOOR AND THOSE AUTOS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THAT. NOT SURE IF I SHOULD START A SEPERATE DIARY FOR THE 10TH PLANET OR JUST KEEP GOING HERE. IF I DID IT WOULD BE A SINGLE STRAIN DIARY SO I COULD ENTER CONPETITIONS. BUT DO I REALLY WANT TOO? 4/9 DIDN'T WATER. MISTED THE TOP OF THE FRESH TRANSPLANTS. HAVENT CHECKED THE 10TH PLANET BEANS YET. ITS NOT TIME. I may end up losing a couple seedlings. I'm not sure. They may just be stunted bit I could've damaged them when I removed the seed from the seedling. Only time will tell. That's why I popped the two 10th planet beans so even of I lose a couple seedlings, I'll have what I need for the year. It's like those couple are growing taller but the true leaves had barely formed and don't seem to be getting any bigger. They probably got burned and stunted. I'll monitor them. CHECKED THE 10TH PLANET AROUND NOONTIME. WASN'T THINKING AND IT HADN'T BEEN 24HRS AND ETHOS SAYS TO WAIT 36 HOURS BEFORE CHECKING. BOTH SEEM TO BE VIABLE SEEDS ONE HAS A TAPROOT AND THE OTHER HAS SPLIT OPEN. I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON AND IM GOING TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER 24 HOURS. NEXT YEAR IM GOING TO INVEST IN A HEATING PAD FOR SEEDLINGS. Edit: What a change in weather from two years ago. I got that intuition feeling so I went to check the girls. They seem to be stretching but not NEARLY as much and are now getting some leaf growth. They were all within 10 grams of dry soil weight save for one that is a larger plant. That was 217. Everything got watered with a shot glass and the soil slowly soaked it up. I even had to water the fresh transplants. They have grown to the top of the cups! I filled in the Ched dog #4 with soil and watered. The mk ultra is larger and the soil was a little chilly. I put a little under the light to warmup so I can fill in the other two plants. Man I feel better seeing them out of their slump. I never should've started with that 1000 watt led without testing it. No matter what the box says. I'll take pics tomorrow. 4/10 Had a crazy morning. Didn't take pictures as it was a hurried morning. I filled the 2 mk ultra cups with soil and watered a shotglass. Looking at the first series of seeds I started, (the pink kush and special kush #1) two of the 3 seedlings that are stunted SEEM like they might make it. I might cull them anyway if growth doesnt pick up with the others. I'll see what happens. The first true leaves are coming apart when the were straight up amd stuck together. They looked done for. Luckily we have SUCH a long veg season that even if something is stunted, we have time for it to come out of it. If it will. Things are going well since switching to the hps light. I noticed some slight yellowing on the Chem dog's first true leaves, so I pulled the tray away from the light a little bit. The two mk ultras in the same tray are fine though. I may start a new diary for the tenth planet. Not sure but the 2 seeds attempted germinated and had a nice taproot. I transplanted them DIRECTLY into solo cups with a little Happy Frog soil and Myko's and slightly covered them before misting the tops. I cut a powerade bottle in half and it fits IN the cup perfectly a humidity dome. I misted the tops as well and put them under the asrgarden light until they break ground and get their true leaves. Man I can't wait. I know it's been a rough year for EVERYONE but I've had some particularly difficult situations. Can't wait for this season to start. Next time I go over I'll get some pictures but nobody really wants to see seedlings. They pretty much all look the same. At least I learned something. Oh and I took apart all the sour cherry seedlings that were growing and dissected them and found why a couple had problems. Seedlings are what I have the least experience with so when my whole pack didn't pop I wanted to see if it was me but it wasn't. All those other beans popped and I got some hands on experience dealing with seedlings so maybe a blessing in disguise!. EDIT: WENT OVER AND CHECKED THE PLANTS. I WEIGHED THEM AND I ASSUME THEY WILL NEED WATER TOMORROW. I DID WATER 3 I THINK AS THEY WERE UNDER 200 AND HAD BIGGER PLANTS. EXCEPT THE ONE THAT LOOKS THE WORST. THAT SEEMS TO DRINK A LOT OF WATER. I THINK THAT MIDDLE ROW (2 SPECIAL KUSH 1 PINK KUSH) WERE STUNTED. HOWEVER, I CAN'T SEE WHATS UNDER THE SOIL AND THEY ARE GROWING TALKER AND DRINKING. THE TRUE LEAVES THAT ARE TINY AND LOOKED DONE FOR ARE PARTING AND THOSE PLANTS ARE STILL STRETCHING. I'M TRYING TO LOOK AT MY LAST DIARY I DID SEEDS WITH AND AM TRYING TO REPLICATE IT. ONLY THIS TINE WHILE I AM REDOING MY HOUSE AND MOVING AS WELL AS BEING A MEDICAL CARE GIVER. ENOUGH OF THAT. THE SNOW IS GONE. ITS A LITTLE DISCOURAGING LOOJING AT SMALL SEEDLINGS INSTEAD OF BIG CLONES BUT BY THE END OF THE SUMMER THE SEEDS WILL SURPASS ANY CLONE I BOUGHT AND I WONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT CONE WITH CLONES. I NEED TO EMPTY AND CLEAN MY BAGS AND CLEAN AND STERILIZE MY GROW AREA. I ALSO NEED TO POISON THE CAGE AND BLOW ALL ORGANIC MATERIAL OUT AND POISON THE STRUCTURE ITSELF. 4/11 Seedlings are doing ok. I'm wondering if I should put up the other hps as thats what I did the year before when I did seeds. However they weren't "stressed" or "stunted." I think I MAY lose one but the other two had the true leaves stuck together and looked crispy. They've since started to open and I can see new growth. Other seedlings seem to be taking off and finally developing some leaves. The 2 mk ultra and 1 chem dog #4 didn't experience that other light and they seem to be doing great! Checked the 10th planet and one seed is poking out of the ground. I can't see the other one yet but it was a little further behind and I may have sowed it deeper. WATERED everything but the mk ultra and chemdog. I just misted the top of the soil. 4/12 WATERED ALL THE KUSH WiTH A SHOT GLASS. The mk ultra and chem dog didn't need it. Weighed cups and the lowest was 199 to about 207. The three stunted or (damaged) plants seem to be coming out of it. At least new growth is coming and they are drinking just as much as their siblings. I'll play it by ear and see how it goes. The jumped in size just since this morning bit phone was dead. Both 10th planet are now showing in the soil! Things are going good. I'm stoked!

02.10.2022 - 56 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Fourth week of flowering of my BCN Power Plant 🌴🌴🌻 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - I serve the same as last week Advanced Nutrientiens - Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my plants 🍭🍭 Building Stimulators 🌼🌼🌼: Jungle Indabox Environ X Advanced Nutrientiens - Big Bud - I applied this week for the last time ATAMI - ATA CALMAG - When growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand The plants tolerate the nutrients well, some of the lower leaves showed slight signs of burning, they turned a little yellow and the tips of the leaves were brown πŸƒπŸƒ Therefore, I will continue to use only one Bud Stimulator and that - Jungle Indabox Environ X, I will leave Big Bud from Advanced Nutrientiens for other plants. Training: Defoliation: I still remove the large and lower leaves so that they do not shade themselves 🌞🌞 I'm not planning a bigger defoliation until next week, the girls are a little leafy, but not enough to need more trimming 🌴🌴 General: The girl is already blooming strongly, but she is the slowest in the box so far, I would say so in a week 🌸🌸, the branches reach the same height, exactly as I wanted πŸ‘ At the moment she has more leaves than I would like, but I will do more defoliation later, as I wrote πŸƒ I will adjust the nutrients from the next watering, I will leave the only bud stimulator 🏡️ 🏡️ The girl no longer grows tall, she puts all her strength and energy into her buds 🌸 Light: Believe - the best light of sponsor Mars Hydro TS 1000 πŸ’‘πŸ’‘ Smell: The whole box already smells a lot, the smells mix and flow out of the box, when I open the tent, I get a strong smell of flowering cannabis 🌢️🌍 Thanks for your opinions, smile and fun with my diary, you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @targona666 See you soon 😍

July 4th - safely into week 7. Solid growth and development to this point. Lets see how she stands up now that the pattern is laid-out - last fed on the 30th; 1gal - next meal is from the Water part of the food cycle; nute - nute - water - amended the soil with 2” Worm Castings, scratched it in to the soils surface - pulled a set of leaves off of each branch, exposing the middle nodes. New growth on each branch. Here we go! July 5th - rain has fallen, and the plant was partially protected. Wait and see if it has affected tonights Dinner. We are in the water portion of the Meal cycle; Nute-Nute-Water. Posted above - compost is ready after months. Leaf / Soil mix added to the pot at dark. July 7 - fed 1 gal of a Grow Microbe, Enzyme and Molasses-based dinner. Full list of ingredients Posted above - this week is proving to be instrumental in Establishing the shape and kicking the growth into Gear !!! Chunky dinner had to be diluted… lol grow buddy grow - someone asked about the LST techniques I use: wire, branch bending etc. Inposted 2 quik videos on how the Cali Crasher had acquired and held those curves 9th - I saw an opportunity to make one more similar move on the plant, with the same style of LST training. Once again I extended the 6 upward facing branches, straight outward; first thing this morning. 10th - fed 2.5 Litres of Nute cycle. With Grow Microbes oops, looks like we make the water-meal, Next

04/01/21 Amazing colours have came through during cure showing off her red and purple! And she’s frosty all over and tastes like a tropical dream!mango pineapple tones with a side of lime! Would defiantly recomiod Update; colours are coming through got some amazing hues just uploaded some vids 😍 Got the green pheno on both???! But it’s but either way I love this strain tastes a lot like the black cream auto I’ve done of sweet seeds too. So many colours in the bud and the flavour is immense throughout! Tastes like tropical mango and slight pineapple with a lovely pungent limeish taste it’s so nice and the high sent me to sleep when I tested the result! Just had to lay there and close my eyes and enjoy it and woke up to the end of my film ahahah would defiantly recommend Anyone growing very easy and amazing results!

D68 - The first day in the final week as I'm planning on chopping her in a couple of days, on day 70. D70 - CHOP DAY! I cut her down, removed a few fan leaves, and hung her to dry. I set the Inkbird controller to 55.5% RH (+/- 2%). Now we wait.

We’re back again fellow growers! How ya been? Tried something different this time around with the pics since ya can’t really see much plant color with the purple lighting ha One new discovery I’ve made with the last slurry is these girls are getting HUNGRY - Feeding is at an all time high - but that may have something to do with a freaking 10 week veg πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Also I accidentally bumped a nug as I was bending some stems around and my god.. the smell emanating from these girls is AMAZING! 10 years ago I would have just squeezed a nug, now I know that’s not the best to do lol Speaking of the past - Does anyone else kinda miss the classic undercover nature of growing from the days old? Where you were watching a guy with a mask & sunglasses on YouTube at 2am climbing in his closet with a bottle of big bloom? Or Chubbs with his late night dabs and stories? (Still remember when he got in that road rage fight years ago) INSANE. Those were the times! Make sure you catch the short video, until next time - I’m out boys!

Ragazzi ma succede anche a voi che le foto nn vengono caricate in ordine? Non capisco ci sono sempre problemi bug con grow diaries, non posso stare a riordinare decine di foto e ricordarmi quale erano Nell ordine corretto.. Spero la situazione si risolva.. Apparte questo, Eccoci alla seconda settimana di fioritura e tutto procede bene, purtroppo c'Γ¨ ancora poca resina, infatti sto aumentando i l ec della soluzione fino a 2.0.. Vediamo se la ragazza inizia a svegliarsi. Per ora un leggero odore speziato e nulla di piΓΉ.. Mi aspettavo diverso da anesia seeds, ma Γ¨ probabile che essendo sativa principalmente come genetica ci metterΓ  un po a partire? Per ora Γ¨ crescita benissimo come struttura Γ¨ davvero magnifica, grande rigogliosa con tante cime piccoline ben distanziate, senza affollamento.. Mi aspetto grandi cose da questa ragazza spero esploda in un tripudio di resina e di odori acidi!! Buon 420 a tutti alla prossima settimana!! πŸ’ͺπŸ˜ΈπŸŒ±πŸŒΏπŸŒ²πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ

🌱 Day 36 - Second Week of Flowering 🌱 Hello growing friends! 🌿 Today marks the beginning of the second week of the flowering phase, and I’m very happy with how the buds are developing so far. 🌸✨ Since this is my first grow, I’m truly amazed by how fascinating these plants are. It’s an exciting journey! 🌱🀩 Last week, I struggled with yellow leaves and a calcium & magnesium deficiency. Fortunately, with the help of BioBizz Calmag, things are slowly improving. πŸƒπŸ’ͺ Currently, I’ve set the humidity to 45%β€”according to my research, this is ideal for minimizing the risk of mold. πŸ’§πŸš« 🌱 Day 42 - Last Day of the Second Flowering Week 🌱 Hello everyone! 🌿 Today marks the last day of the second week of flowering, and I’ve made some updates to my routine. I’ve increased the nutrients to BioBizz Grow (3ml), BioBizz Bloom (2ml), and BioBizz TopMax (1.5ml). The plants are growing well and have recovered from the calcium deficiency. πŸƒπŸ’ͺ I’m continuing to add a bit of BioBizz CalMag to prevent any future deficiencies. 🌱✨ This week, I also added some soil to the pots, as the soil level had flattened out quite a bit. I topped up each pot with about 1.5 liters of soil.

Oogsttijd 🌲 Werkelijk waar boven verwachting, dikke vette keiharde wiettoppen. Zamnesia strains blijven me verbazen. Dit is zijn harde toppen zoals een indica, maar met de lange lengte van een sativa, heerlijk. Ze vertoont paars, roze en oranje tinten en ruikt zoet. Ik heb de plant in zijn geheel opgehangen en zal de resultaten delen wanneer de wiettoppen droog zijn. Wordt vervolgd
