Hey hey everybody! We are back here this week at the beginning of week 13 and it is almost that time… time to flip? ….I wish…. No, no…. I am trying to be good but I think I came up with a plan that will give me a rough idea of when I will see that light at the end of the tunnel- or we’ll at least flip that light to 12/12 haha- No no it is almost Christmas and things have been crazy over here. With the holiday madness upon us, I can’t tell all of you how much I have appreciated the relative silence (you know how it is, there are multiple fans running) time seems to slow down and it just us and the plants. Quite enjoyable. So as you already know, we are going to be on coast until we fill out the rest of that 3x3 scrog net- however just today on my way into work, I came up with what might be my new definitive plan… I have had a bit of trouble waiting, no doubt it will be worth the wait, but the wait has been difficult none the less… so here it is.. Here’s what I’m thinking- I have this going and I also have some fastbuds growing in the same area. What I am most likely going to do- is wait until it’s time for the fastbuds to come down to open up some space in the 5x5 and the rock candy cake can have all that space to herself- I will shift the scrog into the center of the tent and then flip the light schedule to 12/12 and let it run wild- it’s at this point I will most likely employ a more hands off approach so it can focus all of its energy on producing buds worthy of such a wait. The canopy is getting pretty lush and I really need to get in there and defoliate- I really lucked out, today was the last day I had to work until after Christmas so you KNOW I will be in there tomorrow plucking away at leaves (strategically of course) half kidding I’m probably still a whirlwind compared to some, but I’ve noticed- especially when it comes to autos, that my leaf selection has become much more refined when defoliating. PROBABLY gonna see a BIT less of that tomorrow as I have to open up the canopy but I still plan on being careful. Something else that was super cool who may not be following along with the other journal, happened oddly enough just the other day when I was doing dishes- I was scrubbing away with my phone all propped up so I could watch/listen to dude grows. And I heard the dude mention a contest on their website that I had entered… of course my ears perked up, I leaned in a little closer to take a look and was thinking to myself how cool it would be, even to see my picture in the background and sure enough there it was and they brought it up and commented on the submission and seemed to be genuinely enthused by it and let me tell you I am STILL riding high off that one! One thing that was cool too was a rep at a nutrient company had seen that and congratulated me as well and it was again just so cool and I’m honored to have been on there! I listen to them practically everyday at work- yeah words are not doing it justice right now but I was stoked!!! Other than that, the holidays are practically upon us so I’d imagine it’ll be a whole lot of family activity with a side of unintentional neglect that I plan on keeping to an absolute minimum because we are right around the corner from some excitement in that tent- that thing is going to be HUGE! So we have that to look forward to! And on that note, I just want to say that from our home to yours, I truly hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I can’t wait to come back and get into the garden talk with all my growmies! Growers love everybody and happy holiday!! 💚🤙🌱🎅🏼🎁🎄

Topped 4 times and LST.. We will also hst when the buds start getting fat

Lunes 19 Agosto 2024 Semana 1 oficialmente como plantulas en jifys, dejaremos en jiffys hasta notar raíz abundante, jiffys hidratados con Agua con Enraizador Radix 10000. Veremos la evolución todos los Lunes.

Going well and strong in this week , Feed upped a touch and reacted very well , Quite impressed with this quantum board led light so far Also plucked off the petal leafs and first set of branches as they are non productive branches to work with Water is heated to 22oC and then cal mag is added till a level is set to 0.4 and stir in very well then add base nutes of mIcro stir very well then gRow then stir very well then add bloom stir very well and then finally b52 and stir in very well

Up-potted the 4 weedlings, pink wooly is looking the best for non auto and chemdawg for auto. Kiwi x kiwi is still the smallest plant. They were all topped and foliar fed after being transplanted into a soil blend

Just packing on the weight and ripening, ending nutes next week

Holky jsou hodně rychlé 😎🌸

Day 22, 10-2-24: I did some trimming on them today for the first time! They needed some soil added, and I clipped the first 2 nodes and got them looking good! Day 23, 10-3-24: They are absolutely amazing. So vigorous... Great genetics... One of the few genetics companies I've gotten 100% ratios on popping seeds. These ladies are going to be some fine looking ones.. The bigger pot is definitely larger, but oddly, the six inches of soil is bigger than the control five gallon. Didn't expect that but it is what it is 🤷 Day 24, 10-4-24: The leaves on 1 and 2, and it has to be heat. I lifted the aglex 240 w about 6 inches this morning, the lights were reading good, and it doesn't feel hot under the light at their level, so IDK why they are curling. Day 25, 10-5-24: They are continuing to grow steady and robust. They are all generally the same again, and they feel good and flexible. Going to start lst'ing soon. Day 26, 10-6-24: I did some training on #1 and 2. 3, the control, is, lacking. Both more and less soil is doing better than the 5 gal.. 🤷 Life's a garden, dig it? Day 27, 10-7-24: I finally got my room moved around and got my 400 w Aglex in there and I have them at 17 inches from the light at 50% for around a 600ish par. Day 28, 10-8-24: They are growing like crazy! All except the control. #1 and 2 are doing great and are ready to be trained out more. #3 is slowly growing and it's just creeping along...

Onto the next...😎🍁

Sa sens fort les buds son beau

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui, in una nuova pagina di questo diario.😉 Le sorelle Mimorange 🍊 sono diventate sicuramente le mie preferite nella tenda.😍 Sia per per l odore che per l aspetto dei buds, si stanno ingrassando parecchio e i peli spessi sono diventati gialli. Mentre l odore è dolce di mandarino.🔝 La crescita si è fermata e ora sta dedicando tutto alle cole! Intanto continuo ad aprire i rami per arieggiare le zone e illuminarle meglio.👍 Eh niente ragazzi! È rimasto ben poco da dire, aspettiamo che i fiori si maturano per bene😋 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti!🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱🌱

Heating Mat to keep temp in 80’s Day15)( Week 3 Day1) No water,good Added Mushie Man Day 16) idk if I’m right but growth seems a lil slow hopefully nothings wrong Day 18) Added c02 yesterday night , gonna put the lights at 50 watts Day19) Feeding stronger, keep bringing light up more as the plant grows so it’s 30 inches above the plant Day20) GROWTH IS AMAZING , idk if it’s the co2 or it’s just getting older, prolly both either way it’s great news, moving light up more, I’ll start LST on Sunday which is day 22, cleaning fan cause of humidifier ( tap water), keep humidity in high 50s and temp above 80 , for humidity reasons I only turn on in-line fan for a couple hours some afternoons Day 21) Fed Calmag, grow and micro to tap water(PH 6.2), added more coco to the top,will LST tmrw

esta semana le aplique big one de forma foliar para empezar a estimular la Pre-floracion !

Flushed the plants a bit early, which caused yellow leaves. Going to hit it with some 4-35-26 for two more weeks and then flush again & then chop. Chopped on day 87-89. All three plants vary. Excited to see how they smoke after drying and curing.

It has started the fattening :) Started feeding some sugars with Top Candy, and feedind schedule now is : Feeding every irrigation, Top Bloom 3 ml/l until now, and alternating Top Candy each two irrigations.. but i will modify the dose regarding the plant aspect so im going to update this week too, this is the first day of it, so it is a fattening week lets see what she can do, at the moment it is really stinky, and started to smell sweet too :) Really insane feeding, im feeding 3ml/2ml every irrigation at the moment because the plant wants so, so im expecting a nice weight increment. Suffered aphids uprising, attacked a lot of plants including my tomatoes, they always around here.... They were attacking the shady side of the leaves so had to use some Neurdoff, an Insecticide and Acaricide suitable for organic growning, it kill the aphids instantly with contact... Mix it but instead of apply it on the buds, dipped my fingers and clean carefully ALL of the leaves to keep the infestation away, and it worked, at the moment (whent took last photos) no diseases or insects ^^

A drip irrigation system was installed on Sunday for improved efficiency. Temps held steady at 27–28°C (day) and 25–26°C (night), humidity ranged from 58–63%, and VPD stayed between 1.2–1.3. Soil EC was consistent at 1.3–1.4 mS/cm, and soil water content hovered around 19–22%. Lights were mostly at 90% @ 25cm (briefly 100% on Thursday), delivering a steady 900 μmol/m²/s PPFD, with CO₂ at 480–500 ppm. Some CalMag deficiency persisted, with 1.5x the usual dose applied, and one plant was over-defoliated but is being monitored with no worsening issues. Lessons: Consistency Pays Off: Stable environmental stats and regular watering kept plants thriving. 🌿 Defoliation Caution: Over-defoliation on one plant was a misstep; monitor its recovery closely. ✂️ CalMag Needs Attention: Persistent deficiency suggests further tweaks may be needed. Irrigation Upgrade: The new drip system should streamline watering—watch its impact. 💧 Takeaway: A mostly smooth week with stable conditions and proactive care. Keep an eye on the over-defoliated plant and CalMag levels while fine-tuning the new irrigation system. Steady progress with room for vigilance! 🚀

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir, and added my bloom nutes, adjusted my light schedule to 12/12 and defoliated the plants. I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.1 My hope is that by flipping this cultivar earlier than my last run, I will not run out of vertical space ;). On day 2 I adjusted my reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 3 the clawing is almost completely gone. I adjusted the reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 4 the reservoir's PH is at 6.1. I defoliated the plants removing anything blocking lower growth to increase light and air penetration of my mains. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. On day 6 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir up from 6.0 to 6.3. I will let the PH drift between 6.1-6.3. on day 7 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. I lowered the light intensity from 100% to 85% to give the top of my plant canopy an average PPFD of 700-1000. I plan to reduce the intensity as the plants continue to stretch to keep them in the 800-1000 PPFD range. I just got my first quantum par sensor and I'm really loving the new data it gives me to optimize my lighting.

Another week done applying some More training Put the Ionbeam U4 inside the tent watch the unboxing video and setup! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6cT9c1UfSo

Transplanted this week, 2 weeks from sprouts. Soaked cubes 30 min in 5.5ph water with some nutrients ~550ppm Added floraflex caps right away to avoid algae build up on cubes
