Beginning of week... I went ahead and gave the medium a little bit of a flush today. Finally figured that its gonna take 3L to get a decent amount of runoff.. Seems to dry out pretty fast too.. Might need to water daily.. For sure every other day, if not. I know that I shouldn't water the entire medium when she's this young because the roots dont go out that much, but the medium was a bitch to get wet.. Literally took about a week.. But she is doing great.. Her stems are giving out purples! I know seedlings tend to do that.. But I've never seen damnnear all the stems purple. I can't really get a pic of it cuz my camera/phone sucks.. But trust me, it's there lol. Gorgeous plant! Mid week.. So I've been watering once daily.. One day I will give nutes and the next just plain pH'd water.. So basically just water, feed, water, feed.. This is to avoid the dreaded salt build-ups! Today was just water but the runoff came out at like 700 PPM.. I never even put that much in! This shouldnt be an issue.. I need a better watering can. Just been using 1L bottles woth a screw on sprinkler head.. Its not a bad idea.. Especially for smaller grows.. But I'm going to get a 1 gallon watering can with a sprinkler head.. It should help me be able to spread the water out more evenly across the entire medium. But that 1L bottle with the srinkler cap is perfect for my other nano grow I got going ("*TC* created my own feminized strain" diary). But going to Home Depot today to get that new watering can.. I like the idea of the sprayer jugs.. But those things take like an hour to use up a gallon.. I love spending time with my girls, but damn! Lol.. But as for the lady.. She is doing great! Not sure why the leaves almost ALWAYS get kinda wavy.. I think I read that it MAY have something to do with calcium deficiency.. But I dont understand how that would be possible. I keep the pH at 6.3 (even the runoff comes out a 6.3) and I know I'm putting PLENTY of CALiMAGic.. maybe it's just the way these plants grow.. Its only the first 2 or 3 sets of leaves that do it.. Just weirds me out a little.. She is beginning to sprout some little branches! So excited! I can't wait to bend her over and start some LST!!! She is very happy and super healthy! By the end of this week the next set of leaves should be pretty big and I'm sure branches will be shootin out too! So happy! 😊 Next day... So she still looks great.. No burns, no deficiencies.. But I went ahead and just gave a little dose of Silica and a little CalMag.. Cuz the PPM was coming out at 700 PPM yesterday.. It was 6.3 pH and 300 PPM going in.. But the runoff still came out at 700 PPM.. Wtf.. I need to get a better watering can.. So I can at least start running a gallon thru the medium.. I'm gonna just leave it for now, I suppose. Gonna try and get a watering can tonight... Hopefully.. But she is still growing nicely and looking nice and green, so I guess I can't complain too much. Almost end of week.. I'm starting to think I need to raise my light up or turn the power down a bit.. My plants almost always stay very short and stout to where it makes it difficult to begin LST.. Its obviously too early to be trying it now.. But just something I've been thinking lately.. Help save some electricity too.. Oh yeah, so I got a new Mars Hydro TS 1000 and I noticed that some of the reds (not deep reds) are a little dim.. Almost as dim as the deep reds.. There should only be 2 deep reds, but at 50% power it looks like at least 5 or 6 of the reds are a little dull or not as bright as the others.. At 100% its kinda hard to see but that's expected cuz its bright as fuck lol.. Idk.. I could just be tripping.. But it shouldnt hurt anything.. I hope. But as for the girly.. She's doing great.. Just ordered some FloraKleen to help with major salt build-ups and to help with the pre-harvest flush.. But so far, not major salt build-ups.. Nothing I had to put her into the sink and go crazy with the shower head for at least lol.. But she's happy and perfectly healthy as far as I can tell.. I love growing cannabis!!! It's soothing to the soul.. Being one with nature.. I've even sprouted a cantaloupe in my tent lol.. Gonna see if I can keep it in there and harvest some fruit! I wanna get some morning glory and have it running up the tent and then when its time to flower a photoperiod, it will produce some gorgeous flowers along with the cannabis flower.. Just a thought I've had.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Cant wait till next week! That's when the exploding growth happens!!! End of week.. Today was just a plain pH'd water day.. Going in: 6.2 pH at 240 PPM.. Runoff: 6.0 pH at 500 PPM.. With my luck, the moment I was finished, Amazon dropped off the FloraKleen (and some trellis netting).. I dont think FloraKleen is meant to be used in between feedings like that tho.. Unless the runoff PPM is just outrageous, I'm not gonna use the FloraKleen.. But it is a great addition to the Flora family! Lol.. Anyways.. I noticed 2 pistils/calyxes (preflower) already.. They are both at the same node, but opposite sides of the main stem.. I hope she still has at least 2 more weeks of veg before flowering.. 3 weeks would be perfect and ideal.. But I can work with 2.. But she is happy.. So I'm happy! On to the next!!!...

Hi guys, I have a power outage in my village for 2 hours on the V+4 😒 but it's ok don't have problem. 👍 just a little trick I see she needs more ratio of air humidity, I put a plate with water in it to see with the heat if it evaporates. 😀 i have cut the head on the day 11. switch to 18/6 on the day 12

This week seem like the plant didn’t eat much of the fertilizer so we decided to push the Co2 up a bit, but its still drink crazy amount of water. Some of the plant were starting to smell and also getting a bit frosty. Hope that everything will be all good, have a good day to everyone who reading this Cheer!🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🇹🇭👍🏻

Día 23 = Día 1 Floración:🔹Cambio el fotoperiodo a 12/12. No aguantaba mas. 📆 Día 2: 🔹 Riego según la tabla de nutrientes con una EC de 1000. 🔹Poda de 1 nudo bajo x planta. En uno o dos días le quitaré el otro para evitar estrés. 📆 Dia 3: 🔹Pulverización con Rootbastic a 0.1ml/l. 🔹Poda del segundo nudo bajo. 📆 Día 4: 🔹Pulverizo con Acti-vera y Alg-a-mic, 1 y 1 ml/l respectivamente. 🔹Coloco las plantas más pequeñas en el lugar con más luz. 🔹Puntualizar que las plantas han estado hasta hoy sin medidor de pH, a si que tengo que estar orgulloso por los resultados. 📆 Dia 5: 🔹Pulverizo con Acti-vera y Alg-a-mic, 1 y 1 ml/l respectivamente. 📆 Día 6: 🔹Pulverizo con Acti-vera y Alg-a-mic, 1 y 1 ml/l respectivamente. 🔹 Relleno las macetas de tierra faltante, después del riego. 📆 Día 7: 🔹 Riego según la tabla de nutrientes, he estado cinco días sin regar, ya que empape demasiado las macetas. Esta vez aplicaré algo menos agua con solución.

Got everything hung up. Stripped the fan leaves and broke down into sections. Run 60/60 or as close as i can get until the stems snap.

Well, another week has passed and the end of the second week has come and the pistils have already shown themselves and I continue watering with top crop bloom, first time testing this fertilizer and I'm only using two of them, top veg and top bloom, next cycle I'm going to use General Hydroponics fertilizers because I have a friend who uses them and he's having great results, I still want to talk to my friends about this strain because I think it hasn't grown as it should, but anyway we're studying to improve ourselves for the next ones, the rest is all experience for the next ones it grows. =D

So far things just seem to continue to get worse. Will continue to monitor. Suspecting my flush wasn't fully effective. I flushed it again with another 8L of distilled water with some Flawless Finish to help remove slat buildup. The last 2L I mix in half a tablespoon of organic backstrap molasses. the next day the soil was almost completely dry so she must have been really thirsty or the flush was successful. Will continue to monitor and probably give the next feeding at 25% strength just to ensure it has nutrients in the soil I don't think that could possibly hurt anything and at least it has something than nothing after this whole flushing process this week, top leaves are looking a little yellow so probably needing some Nutrients. Feed 2L of Nutrients mixed at 25% strength. The pot was bone dry after a day. She must have been thirsty, has been really hot and humid the past few days but tent temps are stayed the same mostly. Hope that the flush was successful and it's now just able to drink up what it needs and will stop showing signs of deficiencies. Gave her a haircut, removed some sucker leaves and some small ugly looking ones that were affected from the last week of issues. FIM'd the rest of the outter branch nodes, ones I did last week already split in to two new nodes Have solved my soil pH issue, up from 5.27ph last week to 6.33ph now. And run off of 420ppm now from 1870ppm. Learned I need to be more careful with the feedings and make sure I'm using straight water in-between to prevent salt build up again. Overall the plant has a nice structure to her. Depending how next week goes I may flip into from after next week or the week after if she still needs a little more time. Considering it did grow its first month with only 2 Amazon basic LEDs. I started off slow, also I have a 4ft tall tent so I don't want her getting too tall before I flip into flower

Que pasa familia, ya estamos de vuelta y empezamos la primera semana de floración, ya cambiamos el ciclo a 12/12 , y ya marco su sexo, es hembra. Pues seguimos controlando ph, lo bajamos un poco a 6,2 a ver si chupan mejor los nutrientes, temperatura y humedad controlados, siempre dentro de los parámetros correctos, hemos bajado un poco la distancia del foco, ahora en floración lo agradecerán. Así que esto es todo, ya veis que va bien tiene buen color y no hay problema ninguno, nos vemos la semana que viene fumetillas.

Die Pflanzen sind erfolgreich in die Blütephase gestartet! Nach dem Umstellen auf 12/12 reagieren beide Strains – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – mit kräftigem Stretch und sichtbar zunehmender Energie. 24K Gold legt sofort los: Sie streckt sich deutlich in die Höhe und entwickelt starke Seitentriebe. Die Triebabstände werden länger, die Blätter etwas schlanker – typisch für den Übergang von Veg zu Blüte. Ihre Struktur bleibt offen, was für eine gleichmäßige Lichtverteilung über das ganze Netz sorgt. Gelato 33 zeigt einen kompakteren Stretch, bleibt aber sehr vital. Die Seitentriebe verdichten sich weiter, die ersten Vorblüten sind bereits erkennbar. Ihr Wuchsbild ist stabil, mit sattgrünen Blättern und kräftigen Blattadern. Das ScroG-Netz wird täglich leicht nachjustiert, um alle Triebe auf einer Höhe zu halten und die Fläche vollständig auszunutzen. Der Blätterteppich ist jetzt schön ebenmäßig – perfekte Basis für die kommende Bud-Entwicklung. Düngung & Setup: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 6 ml/l • 📈 EC ≈ 1.6 | pH ≈ 5.8 • 💦 Tropfbewässerung in kurzen Intervallen, Drain stabil • 🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 50–55 % • 💨 Starke Umluft für dicke Stämme und optimale CO₂-Verteilung Die Entlaubung der unteren Bereiche ist abgeschlossen, damit Luft und Licht frei zirkulieren können. Beide Pflanzen zeigen keinerlei Stress durch den Lichtwechsel – grüne, vitale Spitzen und intensives Wachstum. ➡️ Der Stretch läuft jetzt auf Hochtouren – die Fläche ist komplett gefüllt und die ersten Knospenanlagen beginnen sich zu formen. Ein starker, gesunder Start in die Blütephase!

Honestly not much to say about the dry and trim, which is definitely a good thing. 12 days hanging in the tent, and the plants were ready to trim. me & the Mrs. absolutely sailed through it. Stores like a dream, and smokes the same. Not a crazy amount of flavour, but the aroma that it has is lime and cream. And the taste is more earthy and spicy. Loving and savouring every bit of it. Sorry I’m very late with this, but I’ve been busy getting my next plants started! You should see them come up soon, as I’m quite behind in my posting. I’m very happy! 🤟💚
