Continue Daily low stress training. Cut all nutrients in half. Added another led light. Cutting back lights to 18 hours. Started to defoliate a small amount(day 30) New growth seems pretty healthy. Few leaves have nutrient burns but not all of them. Checked ph and it was a little high so I got it down to 5.75. Adding 1/2 gallon of distilled water a day to prevent further burn. Day 33 She starting to show some preflower so I did a water change added 1ml of each nutrients (added koolbloom)execpt armor si and hydroguard 1/2 ml each. PPM 325 PH5.8 Humidity 50% Temp 80F Week summary. A few issues with nutrient burn but I think I have found the sweet spot 300PPM. Vegetative growth has slowed down this week and started preflower. She's drinking about a gallon of water a day. I'm a little worried about the height so I might switch to 12/12 lighting. (Small tent height)

Started this diary in the 6th week. Have been following this website for a while now but finally decided to post. Now entering the 6th week of Veg Here i have 5x Marmalade which looks lovely and absolutely brolic. Really easy to handle and responds well to the enviroment. They stand at rougly 22-25 inches tall wheras the blue gelato stands at around 18inches. Will flip later on this week. This is my first in coco usually i use the rdwc rush system. But enjoying being hands on with the coco. Using spider farmers SF 4000 currently on 100%

Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃

Nothing but plain water this week as the bulking has continued.. trichomes are cloudy and pistils are at least 60/70 percent red depending on the pheno. That tells me its about time to harvest. Also would like to get these ladies down to avoid any bud rot or mold in the larger buds as they are getting quite big and will hold much more water and have lost quality top buds before due to over flushing and the buds having to much water in them at the time of the actual chop and hang. Anyways, they look great I cant wait to give them a try.

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

Week 1 Aiming for: Generative steering VPD 1.18 DLI=44 37-53luxx Day 3 Irrigation system did not produce runoff. I will hand water them all untill runoff. Dripper uses 4.224gl per day Plants are 14-18inch tall (4 minutes is a shot)2%= 220ml 4minutes to hit 220 8.64*110=950 4 events of 220=880 Early flower schedule (Generative 4 minute water) 6:30 220 P1 6:49 440 P1 7:09 660 P1 7:24 880 P1 7:43 1000 P1 03:00 1220 P3 36.8klux(40.8DLI)is minimum(940umol) 40klux (44.37DLI) is Perfect(1027umol) 53.2klux(59.18DLI) is maximum (1370umol) They say PPFD of at least 800-1100 (800-1100) micromoles/m2/s-1 for perfect optimal lighting without additional CO2. PPFD of at least 800-1500 (800-1500) micromoles/m2/s-1 for perfect optimal lighting WITH additional CO2 Day 6 Plants are good for LST Day 7 looking like we need to defoliate. 4 plants still look sick WAtering is going well

Day 15 I added a second trellis netting for scrogging purposes but mildly mostly it was for support as the buds start to thicken up. It looks like things are coming along very well no deficiencies no pests and everything looks relatively healthy. I'm still toying around with the idea of having a continuous drip of water into the pot so that never dries out I'll just have to tweak it when I decide to go that way cuz that are not over-watering and causing root rot

As we weren't present most of the week, we used capillary action (using a shoelace 😃) to water it with about 750 ml of water for the whole week.
