Well not much to say this week, no defoliation, no top dressing, just watching the plants filling in and get frosty!! ❄️😁. All four girls are looking pretty darn happy with life. Although #3 is a lighter color they're all fed and watered the same so I'll just chalk it up to different pheno. Two of the girls are starting to show purple on the leaves and a pinkish hue on the bud sites. 🤞For some awesome colors! Still watering every 3 days but now 14L instead of 12L. No drooping on water day but soil nice and dried out so timing is working 👍. Picked a few leaves (maybe a dozen or so each) off #1 and #2, but they didn't get defoliated quite as well so not surprised. Just leaves that were really bunched up or below canopy with no light. Here's hoping for another good week!

Ex. - If we Deliver @4ft, we have (2.8 - 4(.4333)) or 2.8 - 1.7 or 1.1psi IFF We’re not getting decent flow, will have to RAISE TANK 2.3 Ft to achieve 2.0 psi or more … - [ ] Rooted Leaf Foliar: Solar Rain: [ 20, ml, gal], Peak Bloom: [ 5, ml, gal]  ONCE WATERING IS RESOLVED and we have obvious Vegetative growth . . . - [ ] Top to Node 4 - [ ] Clone Tops - [ ] CLIP Growth Tips Nodes 1 & 2 (Leave node 3 tips for clones in 2 weeks) - [ ] FLIP TO FLOWER: Drop Intervening Dark Hour (Tent Light Controller) - [ ] RE-Index Grow Log to Flip ‘This’ date . . . __ Sat Mar 9, 2024 IRIE1Q24 32:V:4:4 Removed Pressure Restrictor from XeriBird8 Manifold and cleaned well. Replaced Little Giant pump with SICCE Syncra 2.0 (6.5’ head). The little giant was probably fine . . . __ Sun Mar 10, 2024 IRIE1Q24 33:V:4:5  KEY Problems were the back flow protector on the Little Giant that reduced flow 1PSI, and flow restrictor on Xeribird8 for 10x the pressure of our little system. We’re lucky to have a couple of PSI at the emitters. That said - we produced ~1.5 gallons of runoff yesterday. To maintain runoff (but less than 1 GAL!), I’ve HALVED delivery times. Goal is to reduce runoff to ~10% of estimated delivery … Current Fertigation Run: 5 min Duration, 4 times in 11 hours.   We’ll FLIP on Week Change - give a couple of days for root development, some more height. We need to - [ ] Would like to grow to middle bar of tent BEFORE topping. - [ ] VERIFY ROOT POPULATION AT BOTTOM OF CONTAINERS BEFORE FLIP. (If we’re well populated, we’ll rock - delay FLIP UNTIL All containers need to demonstrate significant root development around periphery of the bottom of each airpot. __ Mon Mar 11, 2024 IRIE1Q24 34:V:4:6 - [ ] Rooted Leaf Foliar: Solar Rain: [ 20, ml, gal], Silica Skin: [ 20, ml, gal]  __ Tue Mar 12, 2024 IRIE1Q24 35:V:4:7 Runoff: [ 700, ml], [ 1.0, mS] During Dark - Flushed RLA CalMag Fuel, ~ 450 ml/plant @ EC: 1.8 mS - I’m not convinced I properly buffered the coco. Will do this weekly if Coco induced Calcium deficiency observed.

I have been using eggshells and coffee grounds as fertilizer / it is indoors but i am growing out of a pot. I am trying to not use lamps (as I’m poor) or store bought fertilizer. Any suggestions or comments would be very helpful. The internode stems that are currently growing have odd shaped fingers / are not symmetrical. You can kind of see what I mean by the video. The leaves are wilting a little and are a little yellow ish. I have topped it and repotted in the last 11 days and it has looked healthy (no pests, no other abnormalities except for one leaf that came out a little screwed) since germination. Currently know it is a GG4 seedling/plant.

Hola amigo! 💐 Quinta semana para estas Dos Green Crack F1 Automatic. 💐 _ CRIADERO DE ERIZOS _ Plantas bien rápidas, muy contento con cómo funciona. La línea de @xpertnutrients en el orden adecuado es muy estable! Trabaja en sincronía con el suelo vivo del fondo, que contiene la poca humedad de la maceta textil. Algunos tréboles quieren brotar en el bajomundo del sustrato pero el poco riego les limita. Ph: 6.1-6.5 EC: 700 PPM 020+/020- HR: 65% 5+5-. C⁰: 19-26% Manta térmica 24 x 7 con plato. . !! 19 hs 2 x TS600 + 18 hs 100watts led max dim !! . Los soportes laterales se encienden antes y se apagan más tarde que el led central en el ciclo lumínico diario 🤜🤛 🌅🌄🌌 PREGUNTA IMPORTANTE: Debería poner una lampara central más potente a partir de la cuarta semana de floración? Que recomiendas? Saludos gente buena y mucho ánimo a todos! ✌️

Today is day 74 since the plants sprouted, and day 35 of the 12/12 light schedule. I got lazy with the diary after I switched to flower, but I switched to the flower schedule the day of the my last veg update. Everything has been very hands off since flower, to be honest. I've still been following the General Hydroponics nutrient schedule for my dosing, and the plants have seemed happy with that. Both plants look great in there, especially plant #2, which has tons of roots reaching out of the pot and onto the grow tray. From what I had read online, triploid plants are supposed to be seedless, at least when it comes to fruit. I was hoping that would mean the plants would be incapable of producing pollen sacks/seeds. As usual for my grows, I found pollen sacks at about 5 weeks of flower on plant #2, and promptly picked it off. That's the only one I've found so far, but I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for the next few weeks. From experience, these bastards pop up on the lower nodes from weeks 5-8 of flower. If any of them open during weeks 5-7, the whole crop gets tons of seeds.

Sooo I added a scrog net a few days ago to get the branches more outward beacuse they were growing way to bushy. Seems to be a good solution! Did a nother update for this week because of the trichome beauty that they have. They both smell really really fruity and somewhat gassy, if you ever grew a Cherry Cola from FastBuds and you loved the smell then this strain is specially for you. The smell reminds me so hard of the Cherry Cola and I fcking love it

**400 Gallon** fabric pot (Not 80 Gal) Yes that’s right, no nutrients in the water. The soil is rich. So right now we are just getting her established with her new fixers. (Field Peas)

So this week after I gave it under nutrients I apparently gave it too much nitrogen while having a potassium deficiency. Shiney dark leaves, So i fixed that, but some didn't bounce back, and I tried nitrogen. I think they are doing pretty good considering everything I've put them through SO FAR. lol. Nutrients are NPK Raw's total lineup, follow their instructions at first, Fastbuds adjustments as of this week.

10/27: I rearranged the garden today and checked to see if she needed water yet. Nope.. 10/28: I watered her with about 1/4 gallon including terpinator, bembe, cal-mag, and some beastie bloomz because she's a little K deficient. 10/29: She's only stretching about an inch every couple of days..spending more energy on pistils, which is fine by me. Damn she's a hungry one, though! I'm still planning to flush tomorrow with no major nutes, but will give her another little dose of N and a metric shit-ton of P and K once she dries back out. 10/30: I decided not to do a flush and just did a very thorough watering today with added terpinator, bembe, cal-mag, humic acid, myco and bene bacti. I put about a half-gallon through her and let her sit and soak up all the run-off. It should take a few days for her to dry out. 10/31: I checked her moisture level. I'll feed her tomorrow. She's still looking P and.or K deficient despite my attempts to correct it. 11/1: I took her out of the closet and did a little defoliating. I sprinkled a little bat guano on her soil and fed her with about a half-gallon including all the good stuff, including beastie bloomz and full strength Tiger bloom. Surely that'll do the trick... 11/2: She still looks terribly K deficient and I just don't get it..thinking maybe my Ph tester needs recalibration or something. Like, maybe it's just to acidic for the K to be absorbed... I sprayed her thoroughly with boom boom spray and a little tiger bloom today.

Whew, I am a few days late in posting but I have been MIA. Glad to be back to my plants and gardening. My faithful follower @hindugod even reached out to me to see why I was late in posting my pictures. Thanks for keeping up with me, as we are growing our Gorilla Cookies at the same time so as to compare our results. A Disney Vacation was good for me but not so much for my plants. I also left my husband and two livestock in charge of feeding and protecting my plants from the elements of nature. Gorilla Cookies continues to grow tall but her leaves are getting burned AND I have some very poor looking leaves. So I don't know if this is a feed problem or a Mother Nature problem or both???? Love taking pictures with my new magnifier. Love watching the flowering stage close up. It has been quite hot this past week, but hopefully we will get a break in the weather. Please continue to enjoy my diary and let's chat it up friends.
