Hi gromie's welcome to week 8. These girls are going great, started flushing on Monday 11/11/24 with plain ph'd water and Resin from Green Planet Nutrients at 2ml/ltr. I also reduced watering to just 2 times a day for 15 minutes on each time. Just trying something different as I usually do high fertigation . 15 minutes on watering cycle every 2 hours. From what I've read, I was hoping they would draw moisture from within themselves to help with drying but also some people believe it can increase THC?? It has worked at bringing out some more of that beautiful colour with in the buds but you can really notice the back plant has started canabilising itself! Starting to see some really nice fading of colours on the vegetation of the plant at the back, which is something I don't usually get with hydro because you usually feed them right to the end & Only need to flush for 2 to 3 days. Gave them a long flush this time. I've been waiting on a new microscope to arrive to check trichomes, but these girls are looking about done going off pistills turned orange/brown & curling in , Calyx closed & swelling up, looking really frosty!!! Will harvest this week! As I need to get veging plants into Flower Come on Grow diaries get your act together!!! I'm tired of updating my Diary only to see it's all wrong, things have been changed, put my day temp at 28°c save it & it shows -2°c & it's like that All through the diaries????

Only 1cm vertical growth this week but she pushed out quite a few side branches and leaves! Pretty much on autopilot right now.

Exploding in size this week. She’s a hungry one

So apparently ive been stoned as fuck... These plants have been in 3 gallon pots the whole time 😂 So the one plant that is a week behind the other one and I these plants look so different from each other for some reason. they are both dank as fuckkkkk

Day 15, having a right week of it!!! Thought I was on top of the chlorosis (Thinking Ca/Mg issue) and then I start getting issues that make the plants look like they're getting N Toxicity!!! Now, in all fairness, by fixing the Ca/Mg issue, I may have created an N issue - My CalMag does appear to have N in it - @Shogun any helpful ideas here for me please??? :) What getting me is plants are drinking (Not massive amounts, but they are drinking), EC is staying stable and have standard pH drift of about 0.1/day towards neutral, this should be bang on. Roots are good as they're popping through bottom of the root pouch/air pruner pots (These are 12L each so a number of roots are over 6inches long this would mean) and growing into the run off water (I may mod my Wilma and make it a psuedo bubbler too but then this may cause all sorts of issues with my expected water volumes, etc.!!!). Wondering if anyone on here has had issues with either wind burn (From a 7" oscillating fan) or seen low humidity issues in veg that could maybe help? I am going to grab a humidifier for the tent (Should be here Wednesday) to see if that helps (Liberally spraying the place with pH adjusted water, added open water sources to the tent, etc.). Also, with the roots popping through, may grab some Sensizym to clean up dead root material & fulvic to ensure no salt build up round the roots. As I am stumped by what I am seeing (Things seem to contradict each other), I ran 2L of pH adjusted water through each plant on Sunday 30th and held of feeding to ensure salt build-up wasn't happening in the clay, round the roots. This has topped the tank back off to around 50L, brought my CF down to 10 (1ec) and I dropped feeds to 3 per day (15mins after lights on for 15mins, 1 in the middle of the cycle and 1x15 near lights off). The fact there was no EC upping with such a small amount of water, again makes me think the "Nute Burn" isn't caused by the feeding and possibly by humidity (or lack there off - it can get down to 35% in there). I know it goes against all the SOP's, but in general, the air coming out of my tent is cool; It does go into the main room where the tent is, but is a large cabin and has the door open most of the day with kids running in and out of the other room (I have a security gate to keep them out!!! :P Also, the airflow crosses my ballast, keeping it cold to the touch); until the humidifier arrives, can i recirc the air back into the tent to up the humidity? I have a dehumidifier in the room (On but set to 90) to check the humidity in the main room and it is creeping up (Was at 63% there when I was re-doing LST while tent was at 44%). My lights on period is 4pm to 10am but don't want to turn the fan off as the tent is beside a SW facing wall so is getting heat for a couple of hours before Sundown (around 9pm now). Or, would it do much damage to change to 6pm to noon for lights on? Don't want more of a shock to their system as they've settled into 18/6 from a 24hr under CFL at seedling. Again, anyone who sees this and may be able to help, please do! Day 19 and 21 added

April 20, 2024 Happy 420 Everyone! A new diary for a new contest by Seedsman! Sit back, because there's a lot to talk about today. Just like all of my grows, this run will have daily updates with pictures, a weekly video and as much detail as I can muster in the stats. Let's get started. First off, let's talk about the setup. I have 4 plants in my main tent that won't be done for a couple more weeks. So these ladies will be starting out in an AC Infinity Germination Center with their Germination grow lights, a heat mat and a small computer fan to keep the air fresh. The DLI will be around 12 mol/m²/d. They will be planted in root Riot Plugs until they show roots. Then in their final 3 gallon fabric containers. Then into the Mars Hydro 2x2 tent with the TS600 light. 100 watts of pure power. Haha. This should only be for a couple weeks. Just enough time for them to be well established. Then they will go into my AC Infinity 3x3 tent with the S33 grow light. 240 watts of power. I have 2 oscillating clip fans running a slight breeze at all times. I'm using a 4" exhaust fan with filter. I'll be using the AC Infinity bottom feed wick system. I've been using it for quite a while and I find it to extremely efficient. More about this later on in the grow. Let's talk about the strain. Sour Diesel Auto by Seedsman. This strain should be with us for the next 8 to 10 weeks. In my experience, add another week or two just Incase. We can expect a really good yield if I don't screw anything up. Up to 650/m². She has some environmental requirements. Heat is the main thing. Slightly humid for the veg stage and dry for the flowering stage. Being a sativa dominant strain, she will grow tall. I'll be implementing LST and light defoliation for this plant without a doubt. That's about it for now. I'll describe characteristics throughout the run. Finally to our actual ladies. I'm germinating 5 in a glass of water. I plan on keeping 4 total. That's all my tent can fit. So I'll do away with the 5th and work with the 4 best seedlings. They should sink overnight and start to open up. As soon as I see the tap roots, they go in the Root Riot Plugs. That's all for today. See you tomorrow. Oh, and thanks for reading. Wish me luck on this journey. It is a grow off after all. Lol April 21, 2024 4 of the 5 seeds have sunk to the bottom of the cup with my assistance. The 5th one I still floating. However, I don't see any tap roots, so another day or 2. I may pop the sunken seeds in the Root Riot Plugs tomorrow afternoon. The 5th seed may be the reject. If it doesn't pop in a couple days, I'm calling it a loss and working with the 4 other seeds as I originally planned. I could also go down to 3 plants, but I frankly would like the even number of 4. 1 per quadrant. We shall see. I wonder if I should do three 5 gallon plants or four 3 gallon plants. We shall see. The biggest obstacle will be the tight space I have to work with for the next 2 to 3 weeks while the plants already in there are done. I plan on dry trimming for a faster dry. Normally, I like to hang the whole plant. This time around will be wet trimmed and hung in parts. OR placed in my bud drying rack. That's large enough to hold all 4 plants' buds. I should also mention that these seeds are in constant darkness until they go into the plugs. Kind of obvious, but these diaries are not only for my records but set up as an educational piece of work. The environment is looking fine. The air temp is 82°, but the water is definitely no where near that warm. I did have to drop the exhaust fan down and increase the heat mat temp to get the water temp up to a proper temp. Germination Center Environment: I'll be keeping the temp around 82° and the humidity doesn't matter for now. When it matters, I fill the bottom of the Germination Center with water. It helps perfectly with the humidity for growing seedlings. It will also help regulate the temp to around 78° to 79°. April 22, 2024 All 5 ladies have sunk to the bottom of the cup. Now it's just a matter of time for the taproots come out. Somehow, the Germination Center was cold this morning. Like 68° cold. So I took the riser off the dome and cranked the heat mat to bring the heat and humidity up. That being said, the seed water is much cooler than I want. I like warm water for germination. Oh well. The heat mat should fix things in a matter of hours. Everything else looks good. Germination Center Environment: Currently it's at 77° and 94% humidity. It should level out to about 80° and the humidity should stay about the same. I also took the fan off the dome. I'll put it back on when they pop out of their plugs. April 23, 2024 All 5 seeds popped. They all have tiny taproots just starting to form. This is when I plant them in the plugs. They should take a couple days to break surface, but definitely germinated. Now it's just a matter of choosing the 4 best looking seedlings. They are now in the Root Riot Plugs with the temp at 77° and humidity at 95%. The dome is on without the extension for now. Once they show leaves, I'll install the extension and turn the light on. I'll be leaving the light on for 24 hrs. While in the Germination Center. Once out and established, I'll change it to the normal 18/6 light schedule. I was considering starting at 18/6 from the beginning, but I've tried that and feel like it wasn't as successful as 24 hours. Especially because these are autos. The kickstart of light makes total sense. We will see if my theory is correct. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 77.4° RH: 95.4% VPD: 0.15 kPa April 24, 2024 Nobody hopped surface yet today. I don't even see green in the plugs yet. I'm definitely not worried about it. I expect them to break surface in a couple of days. Maybe tomorrow or the day after. Honestly, I won't mind if they take a little bit longer and I can keep them in the Germination Center for a bit longer. It will work out best for my whole grow operation. Small as it is. I gave each seed plug a bit of filtered water today. Just to keep the moisture up. It shouldn't matter too much. The plugs are pre-moistened, so there shouldn't be any issues there. I'll be turning the lights on when I start to see green. They will be on 24 hours for the first week. Then into the main light at 18/6 for the rest of the grow. The environment is a bit bouncy while I work to get the system right. The heat mat is perfect a it's setting, but the fan needs to be messed with and the dome port needs to be adjusted as well. So far it's not too bad, but the temp keeps dropping below 75°. I'll keep a closer eye on it while I get it to acclimate to the proper total environment. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 80.4° RH: 94.7% VPD: 0.19 kPa April 25, 2024 Some ladies are starting to show green! Today we have 3 of the 5 ladies breaking surface with the shells. One of them is absolutely going to have helmet head. Or whatever it's called. I'll be needing to fix that. I'll wait til tomorrow to see how things go. The other 2 are still working their plugs. That being said, I reinstalled the dome extension and turned the lights on to 20% power. The DLI is around 10 mol/m²/d. I'll increase the light power in a day or 2 when the rest of the babies pop up. We should end up with the DLI of 12 mol/m²/d when we start seeing leaves. The environment hasn't been the best. Not my best start by far. I can't keep the temp at a good range. My night time temps are super low and then I get a decent day temp, but then it gets too hot. I'm going to have to figure out the heat mat I think. It's back to normal now, but was like 65° last night. Not good. With the light on now, the temp shouldn't be a problem. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 72.6° (too low) RH: 76.8% VPD: 0.64 kPa April 26, 2024 So far I have 4 ladies fully showing with the 5th lacking any movement. She mush not have actually popped. Or maybe a little late. I'll give it 2 more days and see what happens. Anyway, I think I already have my 4 plants now. They will be labeled A through D. Everything looks great for now. The environment is looking great at 80° and a humidity of 82%. I won't need to mist them at all at this rate. Maybe when they get into the nursery bags I'll need to mist. We shall see. I'll be leaving the light at 20% for another day or two. Then I'll increase the intensity to 12 mol/m²/d. It should start this run out swimmingly. One of the babies had a helmet, so I gently removed that this morning. Other than that, nothing else for the day. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 78.7° RH: 80.0% VPD: 0.69 kPa April 27, 2024 This is when I normally would start a new week, but these ladies are only in the very early seedling stage. Not on veg. Honestly, I would love for a seedling stage week. Now I'm kind of stuck until I see the first set of true leaves. Another few days no doubt. So it throws off my schedule. Oh well. I'll do my best to keep track. I have 1 seed that rooted, but never grew up. I'm calling it a loss for now. So 4 of 5 seeds made it out of the plugs. I also have a 4th one that is super wonky. I'll keep it for now. If it looks all messed up over the next few days, I'll have to toss that one as well and just work with 3 plants. Hopefully it won't come to that. The 3 seedlings that are looking good, look really good. Roots already starting to get exposed. They will be going in the 1/5 gallon nursery bags in a matter of days. Maybe even tomorrow. I don't like too much root to show before transplanting. So that may be a thing tomorrow. I'll increase the light intensity when they are transplanted. It makes the most sense based on the speed they grow. The environment is pretty good. Hovering at a temp of 80° and 87.4% humidity. I also gave them a small misting to keep the humidity up and the babies getting all the water they can get without overdoing it. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 81.2° RH: 88.9% VPD: 0.41 kPa

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** This plant has been doing great, when I am in working with it it releases lovely peppery notes into the air. It has a super short compact structure I'm curious to see what it will be like in stretch. Still giving them a 2:1 or 2.5:1 grow vs bloom nutrient. Its helping with some of the pink stems from last week. Feeding strength is up .2 point to reach 900ppm or aorund 1.8EC will leave it here fro the remainder of Veg. Prob will do for 2 more weeks then flip to flower as I just topped them and want to give them some time to recover. NPK ratio of 7-7-14 1:1 equal parts grow/bloom. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 "not yet used it yet" Also took some clones from the plants as well, took two main cuttings from each plant, forgot to do the one so its not shown in the first video up the updated clone pics later in the week. If any of these impress me then the clones will go outside and grow there all year for a extra special harvest. Or I'll give them out to some friends and family maybe a little gorilla gardening project, but I will wait before getting ride of them all as I'm still kicking my self in the ass over the Blue Cindy loss. really liked that plant and wish its clones I gave out where still aorund. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% till flower is initiated then up to 100%, Will test out 13/11 I think as the schedule to give them some more photons for an extra hour vs 12/12 . Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://seedstockers.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/SeedstockersBarcelona/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/seedstockersb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/seedstockers_seeds YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ + https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GiFYrIWeNtwtXjcivCmfw Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/seedstockersofficial https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/seedstockers

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

This end week 4 flowering last defoliation happy growing

Todo bien solo q el video individual se ha perdido.

Set up the trellis this week and installed a third 1000w LED in the 4x4

<Frisian Duck🦆> Se inicia germinacion de 3 semillas. ▪️︎El día 7 de Nov 22 en un recipiente con agua purificada.. ▪️︎El día 8 de Nov se colocan en toallas húmedas. ▪️︎ El día 10 de Nov 22 se coloca 1 semilla que germino en sustrato. ▪️︎ El día 12 Nov 22 ya creciendo.

Week 7. About 1-2 weeks more for 4 out of 5 plants. I’ll feed them one more time with nutrients and then I’ll start to flush.

Week 8 Flower now. The plants got a nice fade into purple and yellow leaves. The RJ is still 1-2 weeks behind, but looks and smells incredible. The LOs and BBP and quite there, just a few days left. Only feeding ph-regulated water to them now. The BBP smell very sweet and fruity, lots of big trichomes on the flower, not so much on sugar leaves. The LO smell like citrus and orange peel, trichomes over the whole plant. Just insane. Close to final we are ! Temp 19 - 25 Celsius RH 50-60 %

*********Week 6 - January 13 to 19, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) This is going to be a brief update but that’s a good thing 😀 The week went by pretty quick and overall it was great progress. She stood up more and her bud sites set in and are starting to stack.👍 Her colour holding, on the darker side, and her leaves are still narrow. In a way.....don’t care though......not growing leaves😜😃 Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of leaves that were blocking. Took off a couple of low nodes as well. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has a thick main stem but not excessive....little less than a quarter. She has lots of bud sites with six main stems that should fill-in nicely. Should help increase yield😎👍 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Don’t want to use CalMag much longer though because she already gets lots of nitrogen. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full week for sure. I suspect she will run a full 9 weeks and more likely 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 7....and maybe 8.....thats next week or week after! Therefore, even if I push it I will likely only go another 2 weeks of feeding😟😓😕 Crap time goes fast!!!!!! Gonna have to ensure she is wet and happy👌 Little more detail: Jan 13/20 - Day 36 - 1L feeding of Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo Juice @ 2ml/L. Not pH’d......water been running 6.3. this was in the AM - PM feeding 2L only Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L, Liquid Weight and Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 575ppm pH 5.8. - trying out the Green Planet line so I introduced Massive this week. - lowered temps in room at night. Down to 65 degrees. - suspect the narrow leaves where grower error and nutrient balance......growing buds anyways......saves from a leaf strip at this point in the grow:) Jan 14/20 - Day 37 - Hit her harder today with full strength feed. 5.95pH - Pots were light so 3L feed. Not completely dry......just enough moisture left....3L had a fair bit of run-off.....eating a little less than the other big girl. - Rhino Skin back in for some more silica. - Didn’t go......holly crap she got big last night😮😮.....but she continues to get taller.....the bud sites white hairs really pop now. Jan 15/20 - Day 38 - 2L feed today. Only giving base nutrients and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L pH 6.1. - runoff water: 900ppm and 6.0pH. - drinking more now and she doesn’t give run-off before 2L minimum. - keep an eye on the ppm not getting too high and consider increasing her moisture. Jan 16/20 - Day 39 - 3L full feed today. - want to strip a bunch of her leaves!!!! Keep tucking the leaves but even those stems are stubborn.....good problems👍😝 Jan 17/20 - Day 40 - She is hungry :) - 3L feed full strength. - runoff water: 1400ppm, 5.9pH........medium in okay shape.....little high ppm given what’s been going in. - Good growth last night....liked the nutes👊 Don’t get to eager through😳 too much at this point and she won’t consume them all😉 - In the tent with only Zkittelz is giving a little extra room and she is loving it. Jan 18/20 - Day 41 - She was not dry in the AM but rather inbetween. - watering with supplementals.......Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Weight, VeloKelp, Piranha, Voodoo....and CalMag. - 2L with 240ppm and 6.2pH - nothing in PM.....pots still wet......she is looking for a little less than 3L per day still roughly. - They are growing taller......top of tallest nodes falling to sleep sooner at night. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 24” tall and 28” wide......with LST. Jan 19/20 - Day 42 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again. - runoff: 1350ppm and 6.0pH.......still a little more left in there than going in. - stripped two lower nodes and 1 huge fan leaf. - her buds are getting wider and taller....filling in😎 lots of them......or at least they jump out more with how she is growing👊 - she is happy....keep the same and don’t change things......less than two weeks feed left. Have a great week fellow growers.......

The plant kept stretching during this week. I'm a little bit worried as I don't see the flowers touching each other to form nice colas, but she's healthy so I can't complain, it's my first grow after all. Just hoping in fatter buds and not many popcorns. She's drinking a lot of water in these days and the EC was higher when checking it before the daily refill. Don't know why she's eating less, but I lowered it to 1.6 again. I give her what she wants. Keeping an eye on her development and trying to figure out when to add the P-K booster. No particular problems this week, everything is going ok. I gave her another (hopefully not too heavy) defoliation at day 59 so i guess I'm not going to touch her again till harvest.

Полёт в штатном режиме, к концу второй недели сделал пересадку растений в горшки по 12,5л.(можно было на пару дней позже, но и так пойдет). В процессе использовал средство Jellyfish Plant Success, которое попало ко мне практически случайно, и вот тут не обошлось без сюрпризов можно сказать в прямом эфире - после полива смесью нелицеприятного вида(внутри кокоса и на корни я тоже обильно посыпал) буквально прямо на глазах на поверхности кокоса начали формироваться желеобразные сгустки по типу гидрогеля, размером с горох(см. видео). Поначалу я даже не знал, как реагировать, настолько это было неожиданно.😵 Здравый смысл да и само название(!) продукта подсказывали, что так и должно быть 😐, вот серьёзно, как-будто большую медузу бросили в миксер, а затем высыпали мне на субстрат. Подозреваю, что внутри субстрата творилось то же самое. Прошли сутки, комочков желе стало меньше, но растворились не все. Теперь я уже вижу, что с растихами всё в порядке, значит всё так и было задумано 😇 Если и дальше всё пойдет по плану - в конце недели будем резать, заходите посмотреть. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Week 4 of flower, had to scrap the sour diesel plant, felt it was too far gone to be saved, im sure it could of been saved cause the stem was still very green and strong but just want to focus on my 2 healthy plants, the plant that was experiencing the light stress it seems to have stopped or haven’t gotten worse so im guessing it was the nutes so I cut back on them all together for both plants, the buds are really stacking on these girls and the smell is starting to kick up, some of the pistils are starting to turn orange and these girls are really starting to look like weed
