So busy it's hard to keep an accurate diary Lost a plant to root rot. Now have 8 full sized plants.. 9 is in a mini pot. Overall things are going well. Newest addition is Green planet - Rezin BLOOMBASTIC Silicia Cholorine remover (reduces ph) No major issues. But have to raise ph levels. Day 6 - mostly support training as buds are now swelling.. Have time to take individual pics

7/28/19 --Super happy to see the plants doing this well. Ive found that every other day feeding is the best for these specific plants. Im a big proponent of only watering the plant when it signals it is ready for watering. The least possible amount of induced stress for these plants is the goal for me. Cheese seemed to be totally unaware of the FIM that was done on it, as it showed not even 1 sign of stress post FIM. Cream cookies is another story, she's quite sensitive to absolutely everything--including watering. I am super happy to see that the last fan leave on the 5th node has 9 leaves--a really good sign that the plant is doing extremely well. The more leave nodes on each leave the healthier than plant. There are zero signs of nutrient burn at all. It was difficult at first to see if the slight bending of the leaves was due to nutrient burn, but I later figured out that the leaves were pressing against the side of their pot and as a result bending--wasnt nutrient burn. Ive been varying the pH widely each week--with the attempt to be as random as possible. I want to make as many nutrients available to the plant as absolutely possible. I really am loving the Advanced Nutrients Sensi line. Im growing in coco but I bought the nutrient mix not designed for coco with the understanding there might be some potassium issues down the road. But otherwise as a chemist by profession, when I heard about the pH perfect line I was rightly skeptical. It will balance your solution to the correct pH range (5.6-6) IF you start with dead neutral pH 7.00±0.05 water with no dissolved salts (distilled water). the distilled water I've been buying (from Walmart) clocks in on the pH meter at around 7.6-8.6 which will cause the pH perfect technology to neutralize some of the dissolved ionic species and bring the pH well below safe range for cannabis. Ive found that if you pH the distilled water to 7.00--add your Ca/Mg/Fe, THEN add the pH perfect technology the range will be much more suitable. It was kind of annoying since my pH down is so much more concentrated than my pH up. Me problems I know but still annoying. --One of my amazing collages at work is going to water both babies today with Week 4 nutrient solution even though we are technically in week 5. My vacation has prevented me from mixing the solution to feed. --This vacation has brought so many new automation ideas to coco coir growing. Ive been developing a hypothesis that involves what I call the "level of droop age" and its correlation to plant thirst. It began when I was growing in soil and needed a better way of telling when to feed the plants instead of a fixed schedule, which seemed to be giving way too much water to the plants. ---Ive developed a "droop scale" which can be directly correlated to plant thirst. Ive also found that very happy plants that do not want water will go through a natural droop cycle as night approaches. I take this as the plants time to grow out its root system (happens at night). By the morning the leaves are pointing up in what I call "leaves up loving life" ---So the scale I've developed is kind of arbitrary but it does a really good job imo if you become very familiar with your plants. ---The scale ranges from -10 (the most droop in the leaves every observed) to +10 (the most extreme leaves up loving life ever observed). the scale is out of 10 not 20. ---lets say that you watered your plants today, and their leaves were at a -7/10 droop (what when I water my plants). If you water them you should observe no increase in droop--in other words after watering the droop should only improve not regress. If the droop increases after watering your plants wanted a little more time before their feed--so alter your droop scale until you find the level of droop that when feed causes only an increase in the droop. 6 hours after watering you plant droop should be >+1/10. The next day you should see your plants at least at +5/10 droop. ---Merging this scale with automation is going to be difficult as ill have to use an open source machine learning AI to learn when the plants droop is sufficient enough to justify a watering. I hope to set up the system to be automated or manually operated over the cloud. ---Using a Raspberry pi and an Arduino as well as a whole set of motor control boards and sensor boards I hope to put together an integrated system that can detect when the leave droop reaches critical levels using a camera, and feed accordingly. Ive been all over the internet and all automated grow projects rely on soil moisture sensors which only penetrate <4 inches into the substrate. This doesn't cut it for me as the root ball of the plant is way below that 4 inches of the sensor, yielding readings which only pertain to the top layer of soil, which just so happens to dry out the fastest. ---Im going to keep my grows at 2 plants each from no on--and I plan to make an automated system for both plants which can control watering to both plants individually. Im currently trying to figure out the best way to track volume of water dispensed. A flow meter with a know diameter tubing and a known diaphragm pump rate seems to introduce all sorts of inaccuracies into the mix. I think im going to design an automated measuring system that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor coupled with a camera and AI to fill up a the hopper to the desired volume of nutrient solution. ---I have all the hardware listed but im a complete dumbass when it comes to coding. My profession is chemistry, coding goes right over my head. I have an immense respect for coders as I honestly have no idea how you guys do it. Its like learning 15 different languages at once and using them all together. Blows my the ability of our society. The wide range of skills. Love it. ---If anybody would like to help me code this project it would be greatly appreciated. 7/30/19 -Cream Cookies is doing extremely well. FIM was a great idea. 4 new main cola sites came out of the FIM which im very happy about. The undergrowth also has caught up to the canopy. the canopy has a plethora of bud sites. Defoliation done to increase light to bottom branches. Largest fan leaves towards the canopy removed. FIM'ed leaves that opened up also trimmed, allowing more light to penetrate to those small bud sites. --Ive counted sites where main colas can form. Very happy with this HST I decided to do. --LST done and branches separated from each other so they can receive ample light. Thinking of adding supplementary 40W flowering bulbs for flowering. -Cheese FIM didn't work as intended but it did break the symmetry of the plant. One of the first branches has grown higher than the canopy and I had to tie it down using LST. Did some defoliation and going to do some LST later. --Some light stress spots on Cheese, makes sense since I wasn't physically at my apartment to raise the lamp. Before raising the lamp the plants were 14 inches from the light which is way too close. The closest it should be is 17 inches. Raised the lamp to 18 inches and spots are subsiding. --Being overly cautious ive increased the dose of Ca/Mg/Fe to 4 mL/gal incase spots are actually a Ca/Mg/Fe deficiency from explosive growth. 7/31/19 -Cream Cookies is showing beautiful pre flowers. Still recovering from light stress. Looks very similar to nutrient burn but only present in tip most growth suggesting light burn. 14 inches was way too close-vacation problems lmfao -defoliation done on both cheese and cream cookies to expose bud sites -LST done on both cheese and cream cookies to bring bud sites into the light -both plants fed 400 mL Week 5 nutrient solution-when I mix next weeks nutrient solution im going to reduce the concentration to 12mL/gal w/ 3mL/gal Ca/Mg/Fe. --I want to precent any nutrient burn plus plants are slightly stressed from defoliation and light burn from my vacation. -lamp raised to 19 inches to help aid in stress relief -plants are responding in a weird way to the watering. Not in a bad way-but in a different way--larger lower leaves are not drooping like in the past its just the much newer growth is drooping. Makes sense since newer growth has less developed support system. Makes me feel much better about my watering schedule. --Clawing which I suspected was due to light stress is getting better-especially after a feeding. 8/1/19 --Calcium deficiency just barely showing on midlevel fan leaves. Good thing calcium is a mobile nutrient. Going to readjust the nutrient solution ph to be 6.2-6.3. Been accidentally locking out calcium. --Defoliation done on both plants to expose more bud sites and to thin out the thick canopy so light can penetrate below. The hope is to defoliate correctly. If done right I won't have to lollipop. --Cheese has no preflowers yet--still in veg --Cream cookies looks like it started flowering. 2 preflowers were spotted earlier in the week. Surprised to see how fast the plant moved into flowering. Going to be feeding it with flower nutrients starting week 6. --Going to continue feeding cheese with veg solution until preflowers are observed.

Going into week 2 of flowering and shes looking pretty nice if I may say so my self. I've been trying to make her as flat and wide as possible for the last few weeks with some LST using paper clips. For the last few weeks the pH was raising daily from 5.5 all the way to around 6.6 over night so I would have to go back every day and add some pH down to bring it back to 5. I was thinking it was due to light getting into the reservoir so I added more black out to the bucket and for the last 3 nights I've checked the pH has been steady at 5.7 so I'm thinking I solved that problem.

Cherry Punch just got her last feed this past week. The next 2 weeks will be full flushing for them. Garlic cookies, watermelon Skittlez, Mint cookies, cookies and cream, and wedding cake are going to be fed up to weeks 7-8. All the plants are finishing nicely! smells are getting a little more dank forsure!😎

day 73 I was not ready for all this! 🤣🤣 they literally exploded and I started seeing purple on these buds I had to tie them up so the weight of the flowers didn't break the branches. compared to El Patron that I also have in my tent, Purple is much fatter and shorter. they have a very sweet scent and I can't wait to taste it, but alas I will go there a little longer. I have to say that 6 photoperiods are too many for my 1m x 1m x 2m tent. in addition to this I have noticed that they are very hungry. like me and give me some advice. thanks for stopping by, have a nice day and happy cultivation 💜🌳💜🌳💜🌳💜🌳

Semana 4. 20 - 26 de octubre. Se mantiene en maceta de 1 galon, con Anillo de riego y solución nutritiva. Agregamos tarantula el 24 de octubre y al día siguiente 25 de oct, retiramos esa agua por acumulación de bacterias. Misma nutrición sin Tarántula.

5/21/22 - 5/27/22 5/21/22 Refilled the resivore with water nutrient mix. 4 gallons was needed to fill her tote back up. 5/22/22 Took a video of her beautiful buds today. She is so beautiful 😍 5/24/22 My beautiful girl is thriving measurng in at 52" today 5/25/22 Made another cute video of this gorgeous lady. 😍 5/27/22 This girl is getting too big to full photograph. She is drinking 3 gallons every other day. Look at that top cola

This week kicks off 6w of flower for unknown and she’s going!!! Super excited to see the trichomes increase because I’ve had two days where, it was very unexpectedly hot and could do little to nothing about it even with fans. So she definitely suffered from heat stress but, the super low temperatures (constantly 😍) after that has made up for it. I believe the best is yet to come with this lady but, I’ll continue to play it cool and safe with her! She’s also very resistant to low temps compared to wwa. This week also kicks off w11 for wwa and she’s also living up to her name (so I’ve read 😏) with, the increase of trichomes over the last week! She also suffered from heat stress but, has bounced back amazingly and is fattening up. She’s also looking to be very purple (due to low temps) I believe I’m a few weeks out but, continuing to slow roll things! Thanks for stopping by this week 👋… Have a great day reader ✌️😎😎.

soo one was way more photogenic than the other,AGAIN. 😅 I'm proud of me😁😁 oh and how DOPE is the timelapse? 🤯🔥🔥🔥

They grow a lot this week, we applied a nutrient called Delta 9 and it was amazing the way in wich they received it. We are thinking they are having a nitrogen deficiency because of the color of the leafes

Notbtoo much stress this week....LST, Screen in place...bout ready to just let it take its own course as soon as the screen is filled....the TD is growing great...wanted to try FIM with it but ultimately just topped it while i had the chance...as i defol the GG i figured while im just tossing out useless branches i figured id try a few clones out, 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ yea i know most think its a myth but why not?...anywho, stay tuned for the bud show in the next few weeks...surely to be quite the sight the way this GG is fillin this screen...salutaions growers🤙🤟

04.06.25 BT#35 Servus liebe Growmie's Die Caramba macht sich wirklich gut, Sie ist jetzt in der Massephase angekommen. Ab heute gibt es Phosphor Plus von Hesi mit dabei habe ihr eine Dosis von 1,5ml/L verabreicht. Den kann ich jetzt bedenkenlos jede Woche um 0,5ml/L steigern. Hesi Blüh Complex in der Dosierung 4ml/L & Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Zu guter Schluss noch ein Tropfen Hesi SuperVit auf 2,5L Wasser. Nach der zugabe von allen Nährstoffen habe ich einen PH von 6,4. Jetzt werden wir sehen was in der Caramba steckt.Die Tricome Produktion gefällt mir sehr,aber schauen wir einfach noch ein bisschen. Die Lady wird sich schon von der besten Seite zeigen. Danke jeden für den Stop bleibt Sauber and Stay High bis zur nächsten Woche. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🤜🏻🤛🏻 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 04.06.25 BT#35 Hello dear Growmie's Caramba is doing really well, she has now entered the mass phase. Starting today, I added Phosphor Plus from Hesi, giving her a dose of 1.5ml/L. I can now safely increase this by 0.5ml/L every week. Hesi Bloom Complex at a dosage of 4ml/L & Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/L. Finally, a drop of Hesi SuperVit in 2.5L of water. After adding all the nutrients, I have a pH of 6.4. Now we'll see what Caramba has to offer. I really like the trichome production, but let's wait and see. The lady will show herself from her best side. Thanks everyone for stopping by, stay clean and stay high until next week. May all your ladies grow healthy and magnificent and provide you with tasty stuff 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Flowering stage initiated only after switching to 12-12 lighting schedule. The Deficiency (purple colour on leaf stems) was cured by using extra cal-mag pro by ionic nutrient supplement I was using 1ml per litre Had to use 3ml per litre Lots and lots of top nodes prime flowering locations And they are stacking one above other. It has begun to double in size and I’m about to run out of space! I might have to install a scrog (net) to hold the top branches from getting to the light

👌

I stopped with fertiliziers, i didn’t watch the tricomes until two days ago… There a lot of its ambred… it’s too soon if i follow the farmer’s schedules The pineapple needs at least 2 weeks, the other 10 days.. I think I will harvest them all in 14 days.

hello growmies! day 51 finally the pre-flowers begin to appear. I apologize for the few photos but unfortunately they really filled the box and I find it difficult. overall I have to say they look in perfect shape! I will keep you updated thanks for passing by. like and comment! good day and beautiful growth to you 🌳🌱
