~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ==> Comments From Other "Living Soil/Super Soil" Growers Are Always Welcome <== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION I am very excited about this grow as it is the first time with a new setup. I have added a new light and am going to try a super soil grow for the first time. I have a Mephisto Genetics Double Grape between paper towels and waiting to sprout. The space is about 18 inches by 24 inches. The ceiling slopes down, so I don't have much room at the rear of the space. For medium I am using Fox Farms Happy Frog augmented with perlite. The bottom third contains 0.5 pounds autoflower blend of a "super soil" additive from Nature's Living Soil. (https://amzn.to/2PUHc6k) I am using three-gallon cloth pots. The light is a Horticulture Lighting Group 135W QB V2 R-Spec LED kit. NUTRIENTS Tap water pH’d to 6.5. pH lowered using 1.5 TBS unsulfured blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar. One-half TBS of vinegar lowered pH about 0.5 points. The medium was very dry. Slowly watered to allow the moisture to be equal throughout the soil ISSUES My while I have yet to put the seed in the dirt, I am concerned about temperatures. They are currently running at about 86F. I would like to get it down to about 80F. DAILY LOG DAY -2: STARTED SEED * Started seed in my traditional manner. Between paper towels soaked in 5% bleach solution, 0.25 tsp/0.5 Cup water. Temp 82F. DAY -1: ACTION *The smallest of tip has appeared. Will put in soil in a few hours. Day 0: SEED PLANTED. * Refrigerator filtered water. pH 6.5. 1 cup (250ml) added very carefully. * Covered with humidity dome. * Light from Soil: 32.5” * Temperature: 82F DAY 1: SPROUT The sprouted seed has shown itself above the soil. A nice Christmas morning surprise. Now I can start counting the days. * Watered with about 200ml of water at pH 6.5. Used apple cider vinegar to lower the tap water pH. * I was pleased to find that my tap water does not contain chloramine. I was reading bad things about chloramine and "living soil." It can kill beneficial microorganisms. All I did was ask my water company and they replied saying "we found no mention of chloramine use in the system:" Just what I wanted to hear. * After looking at other diaries using 250W LEDs, I moved my light down to 25 inches. DAY 2: NO WATER FOR YOU * No watering today. There is plenty of water in the soil and I want the roots to stretch and work. * Working on increasing the humidity and getting more control over the temperature. DAY 3: WATER PLANT, NOT POT. ADDED MYCORRHIZAE. * Following the GrowWeedEasy watering suggestions for Kind Soil * 500ml water at 6.5 pH, around the plant and not across the full 3-gallon bag. * The fan gently moves the seedling to keep it strong. * Had minor unexpected run-off. I hope to avoid that in the future. * Added 1/8 tsp Great White Mycorrhizae dissolved in 100 ml of 50 ml water/50 ml molasses mix. Did not pH as it is such a small amount of solution compares to the watering earlier today. DAY 4: NO WATER, NO PICTURE * Nothing really new. So no reason for a picture. * The soil is dry on top, but the bottom of the pot is still damp. So I will watch it, but I don't expect to water today. * Adding a small intake fan has dropped the temps to about 82F, I think they can live with that. * A humidifier arrives tomorrow and I think that will be my last step to improve the environment. DAY 5: 500ml WATER, LOOKING GOOD * The plant is looking good. The second set of true leaves has a bend, but nothing to worry about. DAY 6: 500ml WATER. NEW HUMIDIFIER * It wasn't really necessary to water today, but I did simply to stay on the schedule I am using. * Given the lightness of the soil and the moving air, I don't anticipate any problems. * Added a humidifier yesterday evening. It's bringing the humidity up, but I need to keep the space closed and I'm a bit concerned about having to provide it with distilled water frequently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEEK ONE IN REVIEW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Watered with 750 ml pH's tap water. Watered slowly to avoid any runoff. * The plant is looking very healthy. It looks as if the roots are really starting to work as the plant is darker green. * Balancing temperature and humidity is tricky, but I think I will be able to get it stabilized with a bit more work. * Target Relative Humidity: Seedlings - 65-70; Vegging - 40-70; Flowering - 40-50 ==> Beginning Next Week I Will Only Post Twice A Week, Mid-week And End Of The Week. <==

Hi ppl, This week the girls have been enjoying the weather.. With the added benefit of C02 and higher temps the plants are coming on fantastic. I found my previous run diary so useful in helping to improve the grow this time round. making sure every fifth feed is just water as the previous schedule was to heavy. Also this week I finally managed to finish making hash from the smaller less dense buds from first run, and wow so turpsy and very potent which I Will be pressing into Rosin for day time medication as the flower is pissing my neighbours off... Good luck all ttfn. 💧 Watering: Every fith feed 🌡️ Temp: 24–28.5°C 💦 Humidity: 65% RH 📈 VPD: ~1.2 kPa 💡 Light: ~850 PPFD

Week 10, transitioned nicely into flower. Had her first and last spray with some Moonshine Sunshine Spray. Stay tuned to see what see ends up like

Culminé mi cultivo de Gelato 44 y quise compartir mi experiencia con el set-up completo. El fc6500 de Marshydro ofreció una iluminación uniforme que maximizó el desarrollo del dosel, mientras que los Adlite permitieron un ajuste preciso del espectro lumínico en cada fase. A partir de la aplicación de XpertNutrients se notó un impulso decisivo en la salud y el vigor de las plantas: se desarrollaron cogollos densos y resinosos, con un perfil aromático muy marcado que realzó el carácter de la genética. Este conjunto de equipos y nutrientes facilitó un cultivo robusto y de alta calidad, superando mis expectativas en rendimiento y acabado. Sin duda, una combinación que recomiendo a quienes buscan resultados superiores.

Very satisfied with this week girls looking strong and healthy going into Bloom also ethos genetics get back at me I need to know if you ever had a problem with one of your seeds just won’t to know no fussing it’s all lov

PURPLE KUSH / KANNABIA SEEDS WEEK #10 OVERALL WEEK #9 VEG This week she has stretched and she filled in with some new tops the Bud Clips really help open the plant canopy for additional growth where the plant may not of the Clips weren't applied. They work great haven't had any issues using them. Once again I've been LST training and topping her heavily to control her height. Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you KANNABIA 😊!!! BUDTRAINER.COM BUD CLIPS PURPLE KUSH / KANNABIA SEEDS

Hello folks 😎 6th week of flowering and and no problem to report They drink about 5 liters every 4/5 days and this week after 2 watering with PK, i just put ph'd water to start reducing the PPM slowly until the end next week I'll give them a last small dose of nutrients (500 ppm max) and will follow the flush for the end, that's my plan 👌 my first impression on the smell that comes out, it's really piney/lemony ! 😍 unlike my Pineapple Kush, the buds are really huge on these Toxic 💪 but a little less frosty 😄 anyway Stay tuned and see you next week guys 😘 I also have another diary with one Pineapple kush if you want to see Peace Love & Weed GD Fam😍👊

Temperature and measurements listed in grow conditions are averaged for the week. The pH listed in the grow conditions is soil pH. Nutrients listed in nutrients section are ml/per gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain showers in the morning and throughout the day. They showed first sign of flower. Day 2 we had rain in the morning, drizzle and showers in the afternoon. The ferrous sulfate reduced the soil pH from just above 7 to just below. I added 10ml blood meal and 10ml ferrous sulfate top dressed to each pot. The nitrogen should boost the stretch during early flower. The additional ferrous sulfate should keep the pH in the 6.5-7 range and help with chlorosis during early flower. Day 3 we had more rain, drizzle, and mist all day. The soil pH is responding slowly. It's down to 6.8 Day 4 we had rain all morning. The pots are soaked. Day 5 we missed the scattered showers, but it's been 80-90% humidity. We did have lots of sunshine. Day 6 we had lots of sunshine and temperatures above 80° F Day 7 we had lots of sunshine with temperatures in the mid 80's F. I had to water about .5 gallons directly from the hose. The well water is 7.6 pH and 50°F. Overall this week was a success this plant more than doubled in height. There's still a small excess of phosphorous in the soil. The plant grew into it this week.

Update coming.

last 3 days no watering and last 48 no light. drying conditions are RH 50% and temp 14°C.

Flower day 21 Today I returned from vacation after 7 days. My first look was in the water tank, and it was indeed empty. Hopefully, I looked into the tent, and luckily, the ladies all looked healthy. The 40 liters had probably only recently been emptied. The ladies have grown more than I expected. Some even grew a few centimeters up to the lamp, and so I was forced to supercrop the longest shoots. I also lolipopt the plants properly.

Strain has few phenos... I found 3 different, definitely i must to try this strain but in diffent style. I think this is great plant for sog! Branches aren't very hard, with one of plants i have big problems (broken branches) they need alot support. Zamnesia i want to try this strain in sog style ❤️

Third week still good on 200 wt power led but going back 250 soon

Shinning silver haze start of week 8 really starting to stink now :) can’t wait to taste it growing really well with no problems will definitely grow this strain again :)

8. Woche Man könnte echt meinen, sie kriegt nicht genug zu Snacken aber ich bin schon dabei alle 4 Tage was zu geben... Die Pflanze ist der reinste Nutrients Vampir 🤔

Flushing nicely, leaves fading to purple and yellow. Will be flushed for a total of 12-14 days and then hung.

White hairs are growing. I see at least 10 bud sites. Had issues with thrips, but used diatomaceous earth to get rid of them.
