March 13, 2023, at 1:30 PM -I hit the plants with their first treated water on the 11th and lowered the light to 18 inches above the canopy. Today’s the 13th and it’s obvious that the plants are responding. The forum Stomper has really taken off and the blood orange haze number one appears to be lagging. Week one ends on 16 March. Later today I’ll water them with some treated water, hopefully. I’ll take a short video and a couple pictures. Reasons for the Forum Stomper’s vigor. ~ it’s in a different pot ~ it has less soil ~ it may be possible that my dogs pissed on the other three plants. 😡 March 14, 2023 at 3:30 PM -So far every day I’ve noticed the difference in the plants. They are definitely growing and developing quickly. The forum Stomper is still outgrowing the other plants. The blood orange haze number one is growing but slower than the rest. I’ll post some more pictures and a video from yesterday and today. March 15, 2023 at 1:33 PM ~ someone left the heater, near the plants, and expose them to 90° temperatures for about 12 hours. Thank goodness the plants aren’t that big because they seem to have actually liked it. I’ll throw up a couple pictures tomorrow. The plants technically are 14 days old on the 16th. March 16, 2023 at 3:27 PM ~Today’s the last day of week one. Watering them with treated water later today.

📅 Week 8 | 🗓️ Day 50–56 Day 56 – Lemon Cherry Runtz 🍋🍒 (flipped to 12/12 on Day 50) 🔸 She put on some size this week. The canopy is compact and even, with many side branches sitting at the same height. Tape reads ~50 cm. 🔸 Leaves are a rich, healthy green with no spots or burnt tips. I’m still tucking the big fans every day so the lower sites stay lit. 🔸 At ~700 PPFD on 12/12, that’s a DLI ~30 mol/m²/day—right where I want it for the transition/stretch. SANlight 80% @ ~40 cm feels dialed in. 🔸 Looking ahead: in Week 9 I expect the first tufts of pistils on most tops. I’ll do a light defoliation/lollipopping if needed and keep stakes ready. She’s still a touch smaller than Papayton, but she’s catching up nicely in her own tempo. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 24°C 🌡️🌜 = 19°C 💨 Humidity = 60% 🔦 PPFD = 700 µmol (12/12) 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 2 x SANlight Evo 4 - 120 ⛺ 120 x120 x 180 Spiderfarmer 🍯 Pots: 18 liter fabric pots 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz light mix 💊 Nutrients: BIO Tabs only water method 💧 Water: Tap Water 0,5 EC 🌱 “Easy, organic, only-water method.

So now is the 16th day. This week the weather was rather bad!! Alfa boost has gone all out and couped a little too much N. but she is still young and will cope with it... in my opinion a bit behind but the weather should finally get better and become more consistent. the rain has now quite saturated the soil so that I had to cover the pot with foil to avoid overwatering. I ask for sun and a little dung... roots in the small pot had arrived at the bottom, are OK not lush but healthy and bemyzelt... hope she accelerates the next few days otherwise the bucket was a bit too big. will see.

Welcome to my Alien Moonrocks Diary, sponsored by Original Sensible Seeds. Days 83-93 Grew well. Lots & lots of bud. Will be my biggest harvest I reckon. Smells of sweetness and and deep dank musk smell. Buds are far apart but of good quality. She's long and a hungry girl. I left her on water just for the week. Lots of the leafs started showing signs of hunger, but she evened out. Got no mad fade. I removed all of the fan leafs, so maybe there would of been some. Am gonna do my favourite drying method. Gonna push her just before the point of showing signs of stress for water. And then I'll chop her on the stem. Plan on a quick 5 day dry. As my temp is not great. So, a quick dry this way, will give a much better result than a quick dry by heat and losing lots of her potency. Thanks to my sponsors from Original Sensible Seeds for these beans. And to mars-hydro for giving me new lights "SP 3000 300W 60X150cm2" and helping improve the way I grow with their new IR/UV45 has helped me push the DLI/ flowering time and it's shown in my yields this round with the fems and autos, much improved upon quality all round. And to everyone who viewed, liked &/R commented much appreciation to you all. And look forward to seen your grows either way. Good Growing.

Start of week 9 and the girls are just about done. Think I over watered the last two weeks. For some reason I feel like they don’t smell as dank as they did a few weeks ago. Maybe I’m just getting used to them my wife says it still reaks!! Gonna be chopping the girls down in a week days. The gas cream could of been chopped last week but I wanted the Saturn to finish

Beginning of week.. Mandarin Cookies seems to be a little ahead.. I've been watering till runoff every 2 days.. Seems like I could even go 3 days in between with better results.. More oxygen to the roots.. And I just read on GWE website that overwatering can cause seedling leaves to be kinda.. Wavy 🌊 ... I always just shrugged it off.. But I would also get algae on the top of the medium.. Always just shrugged it off.. So wtf.. How do people use frequent fergigation?!?.. 6 times a day?!? That's insane.. Maybe in like 20% coco 80% perlite or some shit.. That's just crazy to me tho.. This run, I'm gonna do the best I can to make everything as perfect as possible.. I have been testing the runoff.. I water till I get alot of runoff too.. Like 1L of runoff.. So when I test it, The TDS is coming out great.. Just where I need them to be.. Infact they are both hovering about 20 PPM from eachother.. Awesome.. But the pH has been going in a 6.3.. But coming out at 6.0 and 5.9.. This is reused coco.. Mixed in with some coco/perlite I premixed a few month before.. But never been used.. So my goal is to get the runoff pH the same as it goes in.. Sometimes I have to run water at 6.5 pH just to get it to bump up a little.. So I may have to do that. It's still in a good range for the ladies.. And it should help bring the pH inside the medium up as well.. And hopfully STAY where I need it at.. But as for now.. I am cutting out the Floralicious Plus.. The MYCO+ has all the same shit.. So I am going to use the MYCO+ for veg and Floralicious Plus in flower.. Makes better sense to me.. But yeah.. These girls already have a different branch and leaf structure that Ive been seeing lately.. They are beautiful! Lol.. Oh yeah.. And I have also lowered the light down to 26" from the ladies.. Keeping it at 25% power.. They weren't stretching too much as far as I could tell.. I'm wanting them to grow into the light about 18" - 20" still keeping the power at 25%.. See how that works out.. I'm trying to avoid using 50% power until flower for now.. To help keep the heat down.. This light doesn't get very hot.. But the warmth it does give off and the size of it does kinda help the tent stay a little warmer than my smaller lights did in my 2x2 tent.. It was eaiser to control the heat I guess.. Plus I could probably upgrade to a 6 inch exhaust fan while running a carbon filter.. But I am very excited to see what these girls do! Mid week.. Runoff pH is still a little fucked off. This morning I ran water pH'd to 6.5 and the Mandarin Cookies runoff came out a 6.3.. But the ETHOS Cookies runoff came out at 5.8 still.. What the eff.. The TDS is good.. Going in and coming out.. Not sure wtf to do at this point.. Maybe just keep doing what I been doing.. But the growth on these girls is insane.. I cant wait till next week when the growth explosions happen! They are both already spitting out some nice, promising branches. I got a cheap PAR meter coming in tomorrow.. I hope it works as well as the $500 meters.. But these plants are looking good... for now.. Almost end of week... My PAR meter came in!! Hells yeah! So my light gets about 200 - 250 PPFD at 20 inches on 25% power.. This should be perfect for now.. As for the pH issue.. Ugh.. I'm gonna just have to run some 7.0 thru the medium or something.. So frustrating.. The Mandarin Cookies is showing some slight pH fluctuation spots on the lowest leaves.. I also removed the first set of leaves and branches.. They were just waaay too tiny.. Now she doesn't have to waste energy on them.. As for the ETHOS Cookies.. She's showing alot less pH issues on her leaves.. Some.. But kinda hard to notice.. This is really frustrating.. May ask a question for this grow... End of week.. The Mandarin Cookies seems to be getting the wavy shit.. Ugh.. Just the very bottom leaves.. But they are also beginning to yellow in spots.. I think I need to up the nutes a bit.. They are already beginning their growth explosion! I love this part.. Everyday you can notice alot of growth.. And eventually, you can sprout 1 set of leaves a day! The branches are sprouting out quite a bit as well!.. Its hard to not water every day, but every 3 days.. I'm gonna have to go to watering every other day, I guess.. I can already see roots coming out the bottom of the pots.. Wow.. I may use some Hydroguard for a few weeks.. Just to help the roots even more.. The ones I see coming out the bottom of their pot are already MASSIVE and WHITER than white!!! I think this MYCO+ stuff really does some magical things with these roots! I just watched a detailed video on how myco (not even gonna try to spell it) spouts its own root.. Which finds the nearest plant root and basically takes root inside the plant root.. Which then spouts out its own root system and is able to get nutrients over 700% or 700× better than without mycorhizae.. Crazy.. And it even works in hydroponics.. Somehow.. Idk how.. Cuz I would think you wash away the myco with each water change.. Maybe not.. Again.. Idk.. But yeah.. Crazy shit.. Anyways.. Gonna bump up the nutes a bit and water every other day (water, feed, water, feed, etc.)... On to the next!...

Hello Growmies, As we approach the zenith of week 11, the crescendo of our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids' lifecycle is upon us. In harmony with the symphonic change in colors, their leaves continue the fade, a beautiful degradation that nature orchestrates so well, offering a visual feast that marks the prelude to their grand finale. Each Watermelon Candy, from #1 to #3, has now fully embraced the transition, parading a spectrum of colors from golden yellows to deep purples, like the setting sun giving way to twilight's embrace. The buds, dense and resplendent with trichomes, now resemble crystalline sculptures, each one capturing the essence of our nurturing dedication. The aroma has deepened, each inhalation a tapestry of earth and sweetness, indicative of the rich, flavorful experience soon to be savored. It's a heady bouquet that promises much to the connoisseur and a testament to the TrolMaster's steadfast governance over their environment. Watermelon Candy #1, with its standout bud formation, is a sculpture in botanical form, a true marvel of genetic and environmental synergy. Its siblings, #2 and #3, are not a step behind, flaunting their heavy blossoms with a gravitas that speaks to the imminent harvest. With the harvest scheduled for next week, the excitement is palpable. Our routine remains unaltered; like the beat of a drum leading to the climax of a song, we maintain the rhythm that has served us well thus far. The anticipation of the cut is an excitement unto itself - the final act in our labor of love. Patience is our companion in these final days as we prepare for the harvest. The Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids stand at the ready, soon to transition from their vegetative state to a form that will bring joy and relief to many. Stay lifted, Salokin

Decided to combine all my tents diaries (Wanted to have single strains for contests but its just silly with a scrog going) Great week - All the plants have been through some LST to get the canopy more flat as the back side has more sativa dominant plants. All handled LST really well + SCROG net is up for next week. Flipping to 12/12 this week after a defol + taking clones of each plant for my Phenohunt (Looking for bud with the most bag appeal EX: purple/blues and golden colours that are not usually seen + a good strain to grow in a scrog)

Everything going well so far, plant is fairly compact, maybe not liking the breeze from the fan so much perhaps Good strong growth though, nice colours no signs of deficiency that I can tell

9/20 Adjusted lights to 40% at 24 inches. It looks like I have a whorled phyllotaxy with the Sticky Mango. 3 branches per node. Should be cool to see how she develops. 9/22 Watered at 900 mS/cm 9/23 Dropped ir light on plants. Broke a fan leaf off the Moonberry Pie Auto. Removed other leaf to maintain light distribution and symmetry. Otherwise plants look great. 9/24 Added IR lighting. 10 before and after lights on and off. Hung at about 48 inches. 9/25 Topped Pink Apple Soda and Yuzu Sour above 4th node. Watered at 1.080 mS/cm pH 6.1. Watered to minimal runoff. Reduced RH to 62% 9/28 Increased lighting to 50%. Topped the Sticky Mango Auto. Was going to get to tall. The whorled phyllotaxy aspect of the plant is interesting. It is definitely growing faster than the others . It even has pistils already and a VERY dominant side branch. The plant I dropped the IR light on (Moonberry Pie Auto) definitely got stunted even though only 2 fan leaves had to be removed. The other topped plants (Yuzu Sour Auto and Pink Apple Soda Auto) look great. Starting to get bushy. Tucked the large fan leaves. Turtle Taffy Auto has been rather disappointing. If it doesn't show me something soon I may not waist the nutrients and get another Tastebudz Genetics seed going. PLANT HEIGHTS : Sticky Mango Auto 12" Turtle Taffy Auto 8.5" Moonberry Pie Auto 5" Pink Apple Soda Auto 7.5" Yuzu Sour 6.5"

i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but i´m still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5°C and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

Buenos días queridos compañeros jardineros!!! Ya estamos de vuelta otra semana más con nuestras preciosas Llimonet, no os imaginais lo agradecida que estoy por tener estas semillas en estos tiempos que estamos viviendo de encierro y cuarentena. Como veis en unos días se han puesto realmente hermosas, no han dado ningun problema ni susto, la realidad es que lo único que las diferencia es que tienen distinto tamaño, por todo lo demás no están pidiendo ni demasiado abono, ni agua ni nada. Si que noto que sufren si la temperatura sube de los 28 grados, pero no es nada que no pueda controlar, así que todo bien. No hay rastro de plagas, revisad siempre muy bien las hojas por la cara inferior, ahí podremos encontrar pequeños maleantes de los que nos tendremos que deshacer. En el siguiente y último transplante, haremos pruebas entre macetas de tela y de plástico, para comprobar en cual crecen mejor. Nos vemos para la semana con más, pero no mejor, ajajaja MUY BUENOS HUMOS COMPAÑEROS😘

Some nice Balcony Bombs forming, internodial distance is still very short and i did not notice much of a stretch overall to be honest. The Smell is getting more intense day by day, but the profile is kinda flat, albeith sweet. Excited to see it further down the road
