D64. A new week starts, and the stretch continues. Sigh. The first girl stopped at 80 cm, while the second is over 130 cm and still stretching. If she doesn't stop soon, I'll be in real trouble. Quite frustrating since it will affect both yield and quality. I added a few sachets with predatory Cucumeris mites to the girls. There are no problems, and I haven't scouted any bugs, but since I had thrips in the tent in the previous grow, I want to be proactive in case some bugs survived. I gave the second girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with bokashi and fermented fruit juice. ------------------------------ D67. The second girl stretched even more to a point where one of the tops touched a light. To combat this problem, I removed the first girl and put her in my small drying tent since my LSD-25 was just done drying. It's a wee bit tight, and I had to add some side-lighting to get enough photons to her, but it should work out. The yield will take a hit, but I suspect the second girl will more than make up for it. I moved the second girl into the middle of the tent and thus could bend the tops outward, creating more space to the light. I also removed additional foliage in her lower canopy. The second girl is massive, by far the largest auto I've grown, and she drinks a lot and requires daily watering. Considering her size, I am concerned that she will run out of nutrients, so I need to devise a strategy for keeping her fed. Topdressing will be tricky as the pot is already quite full, but I will add as much as possible and then feed compost teas often. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the sixth week of flower, and the second girl is still stretching. She has slowed down, but one of the tops I already had bent hit the light, so I had to bend it even more. I top-dressed the second girl today to give her a boost, considering her size. I used kelp powder, rock dust, neem meal, calcified seaweed, and worm castings. She then got 2 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with fulvic and humic acid. ------------------------------

I didn't get that much yield and the buds were too fluffy do I decide to use all the buds and trim to do bubble hash, I really enjoyed the entire process.

trimmed and netted the plants last night, 12/30, and the energy pushed the plants to stretch another 1/2 inch+ this will be the last week of vegetation as I prep this light leaking tent for flower, not a fan of mars hydro at all right now. their poles are the weakest I've encountered yet, too many light leaks and this is the first grow with it. My high cfm fan , which is only a 4", is pulling the fabric too much and causing the leaks to grow a bit. This is not new, its been happening with indoor tents for a while now but I thought a grow company such as MH would have a decent, respectable tent. My solution is Blackout Curtains draped over the sides. However, I am hesitant to do this with the MH tent as the poles for the tent are too weak as it is, tsk tsk tsk mars hydro. will continue to increase the watts the next 6 days HAPPY NEW YEAR a combination of light and fresh soil has made the plants stretch so I will finish tightening up the MH tent today and ill start flower tomorrow, day 62. while adjusting the height I must have nudged the dial for the dimmer and sent it to 184w. this would have been a big jump but manageable but I lowered the light 7" and the plants took a bit of a hit. I adjusted the light back down to 160w and I'll let the plants recover before anymore adjustments.

Back to the Grow PH was at 7 when the pots were dry and returns to 6.5 after the feeding. I'll let the foliage build one more time so I can transplant into their 7 gal pots for flowering, this will add a tremendous amount of new fresh soil for the roots to thrive in during the early budding stage lights up to 95w about 60% on the dimmer. I hope you are having a great holiday season and a very happy grow. 114w after a series of jumps this week. plants reacted well and I'll continue to bring the watts up for the next few weeks so they're ready for fllower 12/29 plants went into their 7 gal pots

Very boring but very good week lots of stretching. got a new hood wi th cool tube it's huge 3x3 and my tent is 4x4 I love it will make a second video to show it off. Today I will feed with gaia green bloom ,bat guano and a small amount of worm castings as she lpves her nitrogen and dont want her to fade early. Blimburn seeds are great so far growing GDP by them as well both r fast growing and very forgiving. With the new cool tube i can keep my tent closed now without overheating tent stays between 70-72 degrees now getting all of the light none wasted can't wait for next week's update as I was able to drop the light a foot closer to my plants so growth should be big your gonna wanna see this guys. It's my second grow ever and I'm getting better at growing everyday thanks to everyone's diaries I'm reading so ty everyone and ty to the genius who came up with this web site

Day 50. Girls are flying and packing up. Tallest Kush was slaughtered as Christmas flowers ;)) 5 Colas had to go .. And she was chopped today after 48 hours of darkness and cold. Two other girls left till end of week 9 at least . Tallest had still mostly clear trics , so it was too early, at least a week too early for any kind of result, but her overall look led me to idea of following timetable, F1- matures in 7 weeks. I think ill easy have 140 from two others, but this one suffered from - drums !!! More drums !!! - looks like SULPHUR deficiency, aftermath of unknow/untried molasses. Root zone was healthy, plant took most of space and i am sure you don't need lair of airstones in airpot. No more food. Just phed water. Day 53. Girls just finishing deal in glory, slowly bulk up, trichs coverage is not so bad as well... Overall i will be happy with those 2. If starved properly, looks like they will bring some colours too. Two more weeks of only water for them. Defoliated both plants a bit, most faded or covering other big buds - gone. Video shows result. Tied up couple more branches ... They are getting heavier !!! Happy Growing !!!

LAST 2 GROWS OF SAME STRAIN PLANTS GREW UP TO 3 FT USING LOW POWERED LIGHT. THIS NEW LIGHT IS UNBRANDED, WEIRD AND THE EBAY SELLER SOUNDS LIKE HES JUST DROP SHIPPING THEM AS THEY DONT SELL THE DAISY CHAIN BUT THIS THING LOOKS TO BE DOING A WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED JOB AS LONG AS YOU GROW 2 PLANTS ONLY AND IN 3 GALLON POTS MAX. IM USING FOX FARM BIG BLOOM. I CAREFULLY STICK MY FINGER IN DIRT ABOUT AN INCH OR 2 TO DETERMINE IF NEEDS WATER. 4 CUPS OF WATER FROM MY WELL AND ABOUT EVERY 2 WEEKS I SPLASH AN EMERIL LEGASSI BAM OF BIG BLOOM. IM PROBABLY USING WAY MORE FERTILIZER THAN I SHOULD BUT IT LOOKS GOOD SO IM GOING WITH IT. BASICALLY JUST ENOUGH TO COVER THE BOTTOM OF A 4 CUP MEASURING CUP. THE THING I DIDNT REALIZE ABOUT BIG BLOOM FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS UP UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO IS, YOU HAVE TO SHAKE UP THE FREAKING BOTTLE BEFORE YOU USE IT. I JUST CHECKED IT, IT SAYS SHAKE WELL. SO IM SHAKING THE BOTTLE NOW AND IM PRETTY PROUD ABOUT THE WHOLE FUCKING THING. I HAVE WATCHED HOURS OF VIDEOS AND READ ARTICLES AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE DOING DIFFERENT THINGS AND I CANT DO THEM ALL BUT ORDERED CHEAP PH METER FOR SOIL AND WATER SO I CAN FILL IN THE BLANK AND MAYBE FIND OUT ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. JUST AM A LITTLE AFRAID TO TRY ANY NEW TRICKS AS IT SEEMS TO BE GOING OK. THE REASON IM ONLY GROWING CRITICAL PURPLE? ITS LEGAL WHERE I LIVE BUT THEY DONT SELL SHIT LIKE THIS STUFF. YOU HAVE TO HONESTLY HAVE WHATEVER SUPPLIES YOU MAY NEED FOR A COUPLE HOURS CLOSE BY AS ITS A LITTLE TRIPPY. NO MATTER HOW BIG THE BUDS END UP, SMOKING THE BEST SHIT OF YOUR LIFE AND KNOWING YOU GREW IT YOURSELF IS AN OUT OF BODY LEVEL EXPERIENCE. I RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY. NO PUN INTENDED.

Started flushing this one. Gave her a good 10 gallon flush to start and she will get 5 gallons of RO water per day for 10 days or so. Took a couple early samples.

Transplanted without a hitch into final bags. The big 2 plants are in 7 gallon bags and the small 2 are in 5 gallon. Everything should just fit. I used coco coir from canna with the rest of my perlite as my additional soil. They took about 6 gallons of water between the four of them. I added a full nutrient solution, same as. I've been using for weeks. I watered and fed them a day after transplanting as they were looking really dry and droopy and I was a day later than expected due to delays getting new bags. By the end of the day they had perked up, but the following day I noticed a bunch of leaf damage on the big two plants. I cut the power back to 50% and raised the light by a few inches. I'm noticing a claw shape happening at the tips so maybe a nitrogen issue?

with this I start my first grow in 2021 and based on the success of gorilla glue from fastbud, I have chosen to start the year with a team auto flower. And the choice has fallen on gorilla glue 4 pcs. Wedding cake 3 pcs and 3 pcs glueberry, with a plan to have them ready in mid-March. so the tent is free to start the outdoor projects up in the beginning of April in the tent, so they are ready when the heat has entered the ground :) the growmediet consists of 40% peat from the last grow (cocos choir with root system) 40% compost from own garden, 10% Bio Bizz Premix, 4% perlite and 6% Vermiculite. (the peat already contained a little perlite / vermiculite) I have deliberately chosen to add compost that was between 80 and 100% composted, as I think it will contribute CO2 together with the coco peat and so far it looks like my thesis seems to hold water and I expect to be able to wait to add more CO2 to the flowering period. (Co2 is currently high around 1200 ppm and I ventilate regularly during the day as Co2 rises during the day) the temperature is around 23-25 ​​degrees during the day and between 20 and 21 degrees at night. I have chosen to set the light to 19/5 and raise it enough to 20/4 when the sprouts have come up. I reckon that will try to make some LST on the GGs and probably also on the 2 new varieties. The light only in this phase only at 50%, as there is no reason to run full exhaust, as long as I can keep the temp. in the tent and the sprouts have not come up yet. update 04-01. so far 5 out of 10 have come up, 5 days after they were sown and I am preparing to sow tomorrow, if no more have come up. it surprises me that no more GGs have come up, in the last grow, they were the fastest to germinate and there was 100% germination, but as I said I choose to take one more day and see if it does not make a difference .😀 if anyone should wonder. then of course I do not give them fertilizer until at the earliest after 14-16 days update 05-01 I have today, sown 1 gorilla glue and 2 glueberry, where the others did not come up, so the goal is still 4 GG, 3GB and 3 WC for this grow😀
