Hey Farmers. Another successful harvest! Let's start off with the weigh in. This time around we got 207 grams of bud, none of which I would qualify as top shelf. We also got 47 grams worth of larf, which is a lot, and lastly we have 22 grams of frosty trim. I will be more specific about the taste and feel of the plant in the smoke comment below. I dried her in cardboard boxes, the total dry time ended up taking 10 days. I got a very nice rootball, especially when compared to my early days. I'm using Calcium hypochlorite to combat pythium growth in my growbucket, as well as providing free chlorine for the plant to uptake. It's a very cheap and effective way to run a "Sterile" DWC run, although you have to be very careful when handling and dosing, if you want to know how I calculate my dose, check below. It's a great and cheap alternative to UC Roots. for Calcium Hypochlorite I use HTH Pool shock, its 67% Chlorine, don't just buy HTH pool shock, as its contents vary by country, try and buy pure Calcium Hypochlorite with 70% chlorine from an online Lab supply store, its dirt cheap and 1 KG will last you a lifetime for less than 40 bucks, i aim for 2ppm of free Chlorine in my reservoir, this will slow down growth of bacteria, and is still relatively low in dose so our root hairs don't take too much damage. ALWAYS Check the chlorine of your Calcium Hypochlorite, Mines 67% the following is the calculations I use, feel free to adjust the formulas to your needs: 2 ppm chlorine from 67% strength Calcium Hypochlorite and I want to fill an empty 2 litre bottle with 0.5% Chlorine which will serve as my stock solution (2000x0,5) / 67 = 14,9 14,9 grams of 67% strength Calcium Hypochlorite to get a 2L Chlorine bottle with 0.5% strength !! Be careful with this Stock bottle. 0.5% Doesn't sound like a lot, but it is HIGHLY corrosive and will give you chemical burns !! I then want to turn that stock bottle with 5000mg Chlorine per litre into 2mg/litre which is 2 ppm.. (There are 1,000,000 milligrams (mg) in 1 litre (L)) (0,0002x1000) / 0,5 = 0.4 which is 0.4, so 0.4 ml of the stock solution per litre of water then gets me 2mg/l total chlorine in my plant buckets note that I don't use this in late flower once I start feeding Green sensation. mainly because Green sensation is 80% bio and I'm not sure how well the two would work together and at this point, roots no longer grow anyway and pythium is unlikely if you're a little smart in the final weeks

Day 27 flowering: I am so glad i stuck with this lady now. seeing her stacking ready for her huge colas coming is a relief. She has not skipped a beat in the heat and has continued to build those beautiful stacks. I have hope she has restored my faith in Hulkberry as a strain now

Day 27 Flowering:. I am in love with Pog. she always looks so edible.lpl. her buds are such a nice fluffy inviting example of this respected strain from Barneys Farm. So so fruity smelling when rubbed and makes me hungry without even smoking.lpl With less than halfway passed , she will be a good yielder by the looks of her now. roll on sweet harvest time.

day 27 flowering: The Blue gelato has some beautiful forming buds on her that remind me of ice cream oddly enough. She smells nicely if sweetness. sticky to touch and healthy as hell. I am a little dissapointed with her node spacing and hope her bud sizes can make up for it. she would have been better in scrog than quadlined i think but lessons learned. Do love her look though.

This was not a very diffecult plant to grow. I wanted to see how the plant was growing without training it. I didn't have luck on that because she grow so big, 3 times her size when vegged. Obviously very sativa. So in the end i had to bend the shit out of all the stems. After all the LST you could see she stacked up really nice and as time went by and she grew fatter and fatter. All the buds became top heavy and i had to tie everything so i didn't snap my branches. I think although it was maybe not the prettiest grow to watch the outcome is great. i cannot believe it myself. So because i had 2 plants in the room i had to devide the lights also in 2. That being said it is a lot of weed from 1 autoflower . So i can only say i am very happy with this. :-)

Better weather this week. I fed kelp and molasses on day 45. Canuck is showing nice trichome development. The pyramid continued to grow so I gently applied a couple of more tie downs to let as much light in as possible. Branches are getting quite stiff. Smell is nice from both in the evening.

So it has come to an end of the 5th week of flowering . In this week i changed my reservoir for the first time. I spend more time monitoring the change of the reservoir and found out that the ppm of it was higher than the initial value. When i premix the solution it was around 850ppm but when i added it to the medium within 2 days it jumped to 1300-1400 . That caused a slight nutes burn but it was very mild. The other thing i found out is that the ph tends to become lower when it is added to the medium , i found some deficiencies on the leaves and i knew immediately that my ph was messed up. There are three things that i don’t really understand what i did wrong . 1.The size of the buds , since it is the end of week 5 into flowering . The buds seems underdeveloped compared to others. 2. I can’t see any trichomes clearly yet (very few) 3.why do i have a lot of sugar leaves and lots of small buds instead of few big buds. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

1/8 prepare Easy combo bloom: hello then this day I prepared the easy combo bloom of the royal in 6 liters of water with controlled ph, this nutrients make the flowers become big, among other things this will be like a booster! on i bud 30/07/2019 I can say that this strain drinks! in fact, he drinks a lot and the nutrients don't seem to bother even at higher doses ... has anyone noticed the same? 17/06 if you have seen the diary from the beginning you have understood that the counting of the weeks starts when I put the seed to sprout ....

Week seven of flower, temp is coming down and is good. Buds really just started to fatten up. They are getting really frosty too. Getting faded leaves and some burnt and or dead ones too. One looks like it will finish in a couple of weeks, the others look like they might need more time. Cheers!

Plant streached out a bit more this week not sure if it is over yet. Flower is coming along and the buds are starting to form. Now the fun part starts. I'm sure everyone loves the flower phase. Did a defoliation, seemed to work the first time so I will keep doing it. Took two of the three plants an put them in a tent. There is no space in the flower room and did not want to compromise the grow. I guess I was a little over anxious and poped these seeds a bit early. No big deal, a tent is always good. It will be interesting to see the difference between the two areas flowering. This will come down to cheap led fixture vs 1100 true watts of the timber grow vero 29 3000k cobbs. Fornthe cheap led fixtures I have 2- 1600 watt, a 1000 watt and a 600 watt. Ok this is the advertised watts and not true watts. I don't know the true watts either. I have to say they seem to work great for veg and thats what I used them for until I ran out of room. I am hoping the reflective tent will help. Any comments or tips are greatly appreciated. Happy growing. Cheers!

Day 27 flowering : Wow this girl want a title. She is about to go i to her 4th week tomorrow and her bud size is huge compared to the other strains. Her stacking is rapidly increasing and her while stem on a few mains is joined up. She is smelling of orange now and is very sticky to touch. Love this lady and her abilities. humidity has been a bit high due to weather pattern in uk at minute but with lots of air getting around it should be ok for mould resistant conditions. All in all a great week for the Orange girl.

Day 27 flower: I love the Gz strain with a passion. The colours that are beginning to shown on all of their buds are beautiful already and they are not even half way through yet !!. #1 is by far the biggest girl with so many tops going for her final yield weight. #2 is plodding along still in her indica stout kinda way. forming ok too #3 was the tallest of the 4 and had to be supercropped to get the lower buds some light down there. gave 5 mains a 90° bend. #4 is still a little lady but is making nice bud stacks for the party too. They are getting sticky icky now too and smell really fruity when rubbed a little well done Barneys Farm

Been ghost for a little while but now I’m back. Been dealing with a lot of personal stuff but I've been maintaining my focus on this girl. She’s grown a lot in the past 4 weeks. Did some LST, topping, and some super cropping. Started her outside but brought her inside the tent because she was reaching her full potential. She’s doing great now! I’ve been fighting a fungus gnat infestation but I got it under control now. She’s in her 3rd week of flower and is moving along nicely.

TUESDAY 7/30: I gave her a little drink of 6.0 ph'd water with kelp me kelp you, great white, and open sesame. I'll give her a little drink of bactrex tomorrow, and a big drink of compost tea the next day, then I'll let her dry all the way out again. WEDNESDAY: I gave her a big drink of Bactrex today and put her in a spot where she'll get another hour or so of direct sunlight. It was a total pain in the ass. I had to squeeze through a bunch of briars. I ripped my shirt and I'm all scratched up now.. so this is not likely to be repeated often. I still have to climb back into the bushes again this evening to retrieve her..😒 I'll take some photos when I bring her indoors tonight. I put a timer on the indoor rig and she's getting a 4 hour nap every night now. THURSDAY: Being out in the 100f heat, she's drying out daily, so I gave her a few sips of freshly brewed compost tea today. In addition to the PK Booster, I brewed in some Big Bloom and Kelp Me Kelp You along with some Great White for the mycorrhizae, and I've started adding Bembe for the carbs and sugars and the extra earthworm castings, and bat + seabird guano that it contains. Normal tie-down training her was proving to be almost impossible in this sized container because as they grow outwards beyond the lip of the cup, you can't get enough leverage on them to train the furthest reaches of the plant....so.... I decided to start my lady on a weight training regimen tonight using some standard and metric deep sockets. I'll just add on smaller sockets to increase the weight as they strengthen and become erect again.💪 She looks like a stoner mechanic's Christmas Tree😂 FRIDAY: I gave her some more compost tea today..she dries out in about 4-5 hours at these temperatures.
