D43. The third week of flower starts, and the girls are rocking it in the tent. They are bushier than a 70s pornstar, and the first girl has doubled in height in the last week. The second girl is only now starting to go into flower, so I expect her to soon begin stretching. She isn't far behind in height, so I suspect she will eventually be taller. There are a few yellow tips on new leaves on the first girl. It probably won't become a problem; it is only minor so far, but I will continue to monitor it. I slightly defoliated the girls below the canopy to promote better airflow, but I will wait until the stretch is done before a more substantial defoliation. ------------------------------ D46. The girls are raging in the tent. The first girl has stretched over 8 cm in three days, and the second girl is keeping pace, although she still has yet to go into full flower. I'm concerned regarding the first girl, as new leaves at the top of the canopy are thin and displaying interveinal chlorosis. Fresh leaves further down look fine, as do older leaves. The stretch and the increased light might have something to do with it. We'll see. I checked the DLI; it was around 53, which is way high this early in flower. I raised and dimmed the light to a DLI of 48, which is still high but should be more appropriate. ------------------------------ D49. So, I have a tent-sized jungle on my hand. Three weeks ago, I nearly cut down these plants because they had a rocky start, and I feared they got stunted. I have no idea what happened since, but HOLY SHIT! These girls have blown up. The second girl stretched over 25 cm this week and turned into a beast, which is funny, considering she was the smallest one from day one. She will continue to stretch longer as she is only starting to flower. The first girl is further along and is showing proper pompoms and will remain shorter than the second girl. Still, I hope that the difference in canopy height will be manageable. I will clean up the lower canopy in the coming week. The first girl is ready to shave her legs, but the second girl still needs a few days to settle into flower. ------------------------------

Week 9 Started this week flushing with plain water 4 times my pot size then followed directly with a 1ml per litre mix of Cal Mag and 75% recommended nutrient mix pH to correct value in order to treat deficiencies showed last weeks! I assume it was a PH issue... even so, i increased also the distance from my lights! The buds of pot1 seems to have fatten a lot and looking at overall progress of this girl i might harvest the top buds in a few days and leave the rest of plant to mature. Slower development on pot2, this one have huge space betwin internodes and i´m dissapointed with the small size of her buds so far ! The smell are delicious (subjective i know but i love it 😅) and it´s getting very strong 💪!

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

This is my first ever grow and thought I'd document and also seek advice. Neurodivergent grower here, seem to have gone overboard for a first timer. Running a drain to waste system through coco/perlite (70/30). Using 1.2 gallon pots from The Bucket Company. Hooked to a water bubbler irrigation feed from reservoir. The reservoir is a makeshift mobile chiller aha. Seemed a good a idea but could only hold 3-5 gallons at a time. Will need to either fork out on a water chiller with bigger reservoir upgrade or think or something. Under the reservoir we have the EZrun-off pump by The Bucket Company. Essentially a catch tray with a pump inside that automatically pumps the waste out to the desired location when maximum storage capacity is close. Mine runs just over to my kitchen sink.....when I can be bothered to make some holes underneath....I could hide the pipes and make it more stealthy via routing it to the drain pipe works under the sink cupboard. Old drippers where replaced mid veg stage with Netbow halo drippers by Netafim. Achieved a much more uniformed saturation of the medium. My nutrient of choice will be MegaCrop by Greenleaf nutrients plus additionals such as Orca mycorizhae and Myco Chum for the extras... Popped seeds directly to riot cubes on 14/06/24. 3 days later we have sprouts. Purple Stardawg x2 Runtz x2 Strawberry Cough x2

Weekly update on these beautiful ladies. They're starting to stretch upward and started the preflower stage. Seeing no issues from the transition from Athena Grow A&B to the Bloom A&B with some added P&K. I did a light defoliation taking off the lower fan leafs and really anything at the soil level. All in all Happy

Partway through last week I noticed that there was no runoff after feedings. I increased the time the fertigation pump runs to 2 mins twice a day. It seems like either the root system is drinking up more or the added aeration has changed how much runoff comes out. Plant 1 has fallen behind in growth. The inter-nodal spacing was so tight that the new growth was being strangled by the older fan leaves and other growth. I adjusted the LST to help and pruned a very small amount of leaves. It seems to be doing better, but is several inches shorter than Zkittlez 2 which has had some really explosive growth. I started the scrog today, bending many of Zkittlez 2’s branches down to fill out the tent. I bent a few branches on Zkittlez 1, but it’s still a little short. This week I upped the nutrients, almost doubling the Cocos A & B, Multizen and Cal Mag. I still tried to keep EC down though, only allowing it to rise by about 300mS/cm. This could actually be the first week of flower, but think I’ve started to spot some pistils, but I’m not sure. I can’t find the breeder’s info, but think it’s supposed to have a 4 week veg time and 10 week flowering period. Update: lots of pistils being thrown out especially from Zkittlez 2. It’s definitely the first week of flower. There has been a lot of growth since the start of the week. I continued to bend branches down and tuck them under the net, but now that buds are really starting to take shape I'm going to lay of any further stressing. I noticed that there was little runoff over the past couple days. Yesterday (Monday) I had to refill the reservoir and mix up new nutrients because there was only an inch of water left. These girls have gotten a lot thirstier over the past 2 weeks. I've upped the feeding times to 3 minutes twice a day.

Good humidity outdoors influencing the plants. House is pretty much windy so its good to be sure that the temperature is always balanced. 100 watts shows me good results till now. : Grow is a White box with 02 45watts lights.

The Blackberry Moonrocks have a really solid structure, they're looking super healthy. They're nice and big, but it does seem like they could be stretching a bit more. We might need to adjust the lighting or the nutrients to encourage them to grow taller. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

Yellowing on plant seems to have stopped after the increase in mg on last feed. Will continue to feed at a higher vol and fingers crossed will recover enough Happy for any advice :)
