QUESTION TO EVERYONE READING THIS: My tap water is pH 8.3 (yes I know right ?!) Adding the BioBizz nutes brings it down to pH 6.2 - 6.4 depending on the amount which is great. Now, I dont really care about runoff pH that much, doesnt tell me a lot imo but I measured it twice, last time it was 6.8 this time it was 7.1. Is there anything to worry about or is that just irrelevant? Thank you guys :) Day 48: Watered the Liberty Haze with 750ml Water and 2.8ml / l BioGrow, 2.8ml / l BioBloom, 0.7ml / l TopMax which is the equivalent biobizz week 7 feeding schedule with 70% strength on BioGrow & TopMax and 90% strength on the Bloom. Therefore, dont mind the leaves hanging down, I just watered before taking pictures. Also tied down one or two branches a bit more to make the side branching even again. I dont really realize how much the plant actually stretches, the Liberty Haze seems to start budding already while the G13 Haze is still a bit behind. Day 45: I really wanted to try serious and "professional" training methods. Defoliation was obviously needed, I couldnt even see what was going on below the plant. Removed all leaves except on the top 2-3 nodes of each branch. Then I did some heavy LST to move the side branches to the outside for filling up space. I hope the center will grow some branches at some point. Unfortunately, I couldnt supercrop the main branch like I did with the G13 Haze because the stem is weakened due to the partial break. It looks a bit fouly (the break wound itself) but at the same time it looks like the plant just "abandoned" the damaged tissue and continued growing using the remaining part of the stem diameter. Sounds really weird, but it definitely makes sense considering that the plant didnt even stop growing at all. ~Watered 650ml today, too Day 44: Everything seems to go well. Apart from the snap though LOL. But seriously, it doesnt seem to have affected the plant at all :D I did some LST and was very careful ! The Liberty Haze seems to be a bit stiffer than the G13 Haze so I was extra careful which was a good choice. I decided not to train the main branch anymore at all, just the side branches to keep them even. Lets see :) Also the Liberty Haze is quite smelly for not having buds yet. If it was just the G13, it wouldnt smell AT ALL and I wouldnt even have to use my carbon filter !!!

Just picked this little lady up from Dr. Greenthumbs in DTLA. It's a Magic Melon Auto started by Dark Heart Nursery on 2-28-20. Current set up: - Vivosun grow tent (36x20x62) - Mars Hydro TS 1000W LED - Vivosun 4in Inline Fan & 4in Carbon Filter - Oscilating Fan 4in This week's training: LST Tie Down - Tied down the top to be at the level of the next node to channel the auxins to the lower nodes and start widening the canopy

So I definitely fucked up this week and missed some crucial water times. I passively knew in the back of my mind to but I was just having busy and stressful days.

I did a bad job growing I feel like. The plant was great at first strong and decent size and I got a new job was busy and missed caring for her as much as I should have. Smells good and sticky looks good but I wanna do better.

Slight mishap on one of my plants. A SIP had cracked and wasn’t holding water unbeknownst to me. She as drooping bad, once I flooded her and got her into a new SIP she perked right back. I did quite a bit of defoliation, cut back fan leaves that were shading buds.

Seeing a lot of changes since I’ve started the LST. Most of the plants are doing good exept for one that seems to be having a hard time. I will also be adding an xl exhale co2 bag.

So we are coming into the final week(s). Super frosty. The fan leaves are dripping with tricholmes and so are the buds. Smells amazing like citrus.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la sexta semana de floración de estas GG4 autofloreciente de MSNL. Vamos al lío, comentar, que me dieron gato por liebre, porque esto tiene pinta de rudelaris que tira pa atrás… ya están como quien dice madurando. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 25/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12 horas de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Esta semana ya les quité la alimentación a esta genética, me imagino que en unos días les daré machete. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

CO2 has consistently been between 1200-1300 ppm with temps ramping up to 81F during lots on today. (Using scheduler with A/C to gradually increase temps when lights first come on and decrease them last couple hours before lights off). Girls seem to be liking it. Can see signficant difference in growth since yesterday. Last week, before modifying resevoir to DTW config, I noticed what looked like could be Zinc / Iron deficiency mainly in F7 (maybe mag, not 100% sure). It was only impacting newest growth with yellowing in the leaves. Don't believe it has spread to new leaves, but as leaves get larger definitely looks more obvious. Continuing to monitor and watch for any further advancement of issue.

Okay ladies and gentlemen today is day 73 and as you can tell, this girl has quite some time ago, i'm thinking a month to a month and a half.. she's showing some sativa traits like the fan leaves having skinny fingers and the buds being long and narrow, which is fine by me. Because I am a sativa lover. However, I am hoping and or was hoping for big fat baseball bat colas to show off some sexy pictures for Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron nutrients so we're gonna do our best to make that happen still... We are at 95% white pistols still so there is hope that in the next couple weeks, she fattens up.. i hope everyone is doing well and so are there ladies , I really appreciate everybody stopping by and showing love .. thank you as always to both Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron for putting this contest together (cookies take notes 📝) lol .. I just put another Zamnesia Seed in the dirt yesterday, so we have another one coming up this week .. God bless everybody and happy growing ✌️

Back to the 1000 wt as temps here are modest for July atm. Still 1 plant not flowering like the other 2. I will be patient as it’s overall structure looks amazing. Slowly easing into the process not as much anxiety about every little thing. Changed my light out for my lower power 600 wt led instead of the 1000wt TMLAPY. Maybe not the right move i really don't know what to do b/c i have tip burn and my tent gets a bit hot in the low 80s when its in the 90s here in Illinois. I have an makeshift cooler w fan and some fans and my exhaust fan system which im pretty sure is under powered and overall and bad beginner purchase. I will upgrade as soon as i can financially afford to. Also had flooding issues in basement which is always an adventure, i eventually need a better way to get my grow tent up off the ground b/c water does get in there sometimes. Doing everything in my power to avoid mold and have fans and filters and cleaning, but again this may have been a beginner mistake and i may have to find a new home for the tent for the next time. Also I definitely had been under watering the girls and came close to one of them dying and have to remove some yellow leaves at bottom, they all look stable now. 1 out of 3 plants has a darker color and looks fuller and healthier w less tip burn but it is shorter only has a couple of hairs where the other 2 are going full on into flowering with so many hairs and growing much taller. Possibly stunted the growth... Anyway the word of the day for this week is TIP BURN. I will submit a question to follow. i recently uploaded a video that should show all 3 plants w the tip burn.

Had major struggles with humidity due to cold front, but got it in somewhat better ranges. My planet of the grapes started wilted/ drooping mid week [other strains were fine]. Did some research and it turned out they needed more water.[ I normally water every other day, feed every second feed and I top dressed before flipping].I fed them, got the humidity back in acceptable ranges. I also gave them some tea [molasses, banana peels, Gaia green bloom,all purpose and worm castings] They seem to be happier. Very eager to defoliate at end of this week been taking few leaves here and there but nothing crazy. Decided to build a suspended 2ply scrog net seems to be working great. Thanks for viewing, appreciate any advice or comments. Happy growing everyone 🌴
