They are still not too happy with me... Not liking the nutrient strength I choose again.. So after 24hrs of just ph water and 1/4 strength hydroguard. No change I thought they would appreciate just water and a root stimulate. But no change in root or plant mass. Looking like they are very stunted from nutrient burn.
So moving forward I went with same strength as the 1st feeding that they liked. But I did it in a hurry before work and realized after the fact that I put that same amount I put before but didn't account for lowering the water level to 3.5 gal from 4gal. So end up being slightly stronger then before. I did add 0.5ml of hydroguard to each bucket. Also added 0.5 of bud candy to each bucket. But hoping they work with me fingers crossed.
4/12/2023 5.8/72°F/221(Left rear) 5.8/72°F/227(Middle front) 5.8/72°F/214(right rear)
No sign of transitioning to flower yet.
4/14/23 Colorado Cookies recovered and jumped like a inch looking alot better! Overall Height 3.5"
And I noticed that there was some growth in the root zone. But noticed there is something going on with the upper leafs.
Runtz Seems to be recovering but still a little rough. Overall Height 2" But I did notice the roots mass did not change and they still appear to have the brown tint and seems to have gotten slightly worse toward the bottom of 6"net basket. I believe that's contributing to the slow recovery. Still looking alot better tho.
Banana Purple Punch seems to have bearly changed at all. There's very slight growth in center. No change to root mass at all. Overall Height 1.5"
Found some very helpful information on measuring EC instead of ppm and how to monitor EC and Ph. So will be doing this moving forward. I'm going to redo Banana's bucket to exactly what I gave the 1st time she was happy but this time accounting for the .5 gal change in water level. I'm also looking into if I can use the hydroguard at full strength on nutrient burned autos since its not a nutrient for the plant. But I need to fight the brown roots in runtz tonight. See if I can't get all three happy! And save this grow to a more acceptable outcome.
Stats 4/14/2023 6.25Ph/72°F/222ppm(runtz) 6.33Ph/72°F/218ppm(banana) 6.28Ph/72°F/215ppm Cookies
I added 1ml total hydroguard to all and added .05 total calmag to all and ph to 5.8
4/15 I changed the water on all buckets. raised the water level back to 4 gal on Banana since it has the smallest root mass. And put full strength hydroguard and full strength rapid start in all buckets amd ph to 5.8 and left it for 24 hrs. I made a floral spray of armor si at 0.33ml to full spray bottle. Wet em down good. Twice today.
4/16 I noticed Banana's leaf tips began to droup a little. So lowered water back to 3.5 gal and mixed the nutrients for 3 gal to be safe and leave ppm for cal mag and bud candy without nutrient burn. Added 0.5 cal mag and 0.5 bud candy. I trimmed all the burned leaf tips off, so I can see if and when it burns again. And since it was the best my test has looked yet I took a video and some pictures. But still need to figure out whats going on with Colorado cookies. Has spotty yellowing. Thought maybe light burn. So checked and raised like a inch or so. But there leafs below that are almost fully yellow. Like nutrient deficiency. Trying to read her but not getting it yet. gavw them a spray of armor si.
4/17 ph to 5.8 bucket stats. Sprayed with armor si
6.1/74°F/200ppm/425uscm/0.85EC(Runtz) 6.3/72°F/207ppm/440uscm/0.88EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/210ppm/446uscm/0.89EC(cookies)
Thinking about LST cookies and pull top down. But want to address the yellowing 1st.
4/18 I changed the water in buckets to just water with 50ml hydrogen peroxide 3% to 3.5 gal water and left it for 3 hrs. During this 3 hrs I turned both fans off and made a foliar spray with 0.30 ml gh flora trio and 0.25 cal mag and sprayed them down and turned the light off for 3 hrs.
So after the 3 hrs peroxide treatment. I changed water out with fresh water and did my nutrient differently.
I got the EC of my tap water whixh was between 0.19 and 0.23 between the buckets. Then I added cal mag to 0.5EC
And added nutrients base and additions to a EC of 1.0. Then I added 4ml hydroguard to 3.5gal. And ph to 5.8

Not as many photos these past few weeks because this and harvest are the most non-eventful. However, I can add that this variety of cannabis is EXTREMELY robust and vibrant despite light, nutrient and medium constraints! I get why growth is slowing; I've introduced far-red for EOD and BOD 15 minute regiments and I'm slowly decreasing light lengths instead of flipping(I don't want to stress out other plants in room). This is fine with me as not only this plant outgrown its area horizontally, I have roughly 20% vertical space remaining which should work out with flowering stretch. I didn't want to put flowering in this weeks journal despite obvious maturity(pistils are kool-aide red), the transition is slow but the past 3 days have been slow-er than past month. Lots of very lime green new growth which I've associated with a tad bit of light bleaching but actual leaves themselves show no signs of anything, I go back to when this plant was weeks old...it was very lime green then too so Boron, Molybdenum and Magnesium issues are out of the window. Same with iron. This plant is just fine but could use some UVa baths to pull out those phenotypical traits, a couple more days and my custom built board will be added to this room for 6hr increments.
Otherwise, all is good. I could transplant but it's not showing it's rootbound. I could also raise my lights, I probably will tonight even though I've grown other plants 1" away with zero burn(around the led edges). I also have been feeding with McCormick(must be an old-school midwest thing) Strawberry Extract and as usual been seeing the plant respond, especially with "oops, too much" moments when using the blackstrap molasses! This micro area has a very humid(despite 45%Rh), dank, floral smell and when doing the rub test; this plant has a very fruity pungency to it. I like using molasses all the way through as when buds are harvested are much more dense, stay humid longer and have much more sugary kief.
Rambling. Next week will have the 365nm UV, the results will blow your mind! Until then.
Couldn't figure out the extreme lime green new growth despite almost perfect growing conditions all around, concluded light bleaching but never thought N or Iron deficiency. After transplanting, roots were pearl white, no rotting spots and very little soil showing. Good thing I amended heavily with 5-3-3 and 4-15-12 dry amendments and that blood meal I bought weeks back...3 days later the darker green is coming back!
Lots of growth and it has a very distinct strawberry candy aromas when watered and when surrounding air is humid. I have also stopped using my 150w ceramic heater, temps hover 76°F to 80°F day and stay constant 66-68° nights. This plant has almost ideal growing conditions and you can see it's now focusing energy to forming sturdy bud sites. 2 more weeks until full blown flower 12/12 cycle but I cannot wait for this heatsink to get here for this UV light I've sourced. This girl has the structure..

This plant was an absolute joy to grow. She was photogenic and really something that has stood out to most grows as far as looks go. The purples and hints of red caught everyone's eye. The vigor during veg was something I've never experienced; it was amazing. It seemed to enjoy being topped! I really wish flower had produced bigger buds, but they seem pretty dense, so I’m hopeful. Great job as usual Ethos!

Not much to be said for this lady. Her calmag issue seems to be still present and I'm suspecting lockout. She's on pHd water and calmag for now. Her aroma is amazing. So minty but cheesy at the same time. Amazing. She is fattening up good regardless of any issues. Not long to go for this girl!

Third week of flowering and everything's fine.
Humidity at 65%
Lights at 80% at 35 cm.
Increased the amount of nutrients since she's still growing.
2 litres every 2-3 days.

The plant has been really stretching since the 12/12 light switch and the top nodes of each side brach is showing sighs of pre flower so hopefully see more definitive signs of flowering over the next week or 2 I’ve done defoliation of certain fan leafs for maximum light penetration to the canopy

(Days 28-35)
(Day 29) Everything seems to have recovered fine from topping so I transplanted into their 1.7 gallon pots. They were pretty rootbound so this should make them nice and happy. Going to start LST after recovery. Got a ton of holes poked around the rim of the bucket which should make tying down easier.
I’ve been asking around on some forums and reading some articles and I’ve decided to switch out my MH bulb for the included HPS bulb. Apparently HPS bulbs will stretch the nodes out quite a bit more and provide higher PAR value for the same amount of electricity. My plants are looking pretty small for day 29. Although, that could just be from stuffing 15 plants under one 250-400w light.
I’ve been powering the lights up to 400w at night and back down to 250 during the day. 400 just gets it too hot during the day (86-88) without ventilation. That temperature should be fine in veg once my co2 has really built up some mycelium.
(Day 32) Just got 14/15 topped. The BCTG runt is just going to be lst’d and not topped or fimmed. I decided to just fim the plants I started later so they’d have a bit more time to recover and catch up to the others. I also LST’d all 9 quite well. Almost had a stem break but she’s doing just fine now. The deformed bbb was accidentally fimmed and as a result it’s got a very trippy looking main stem that has branched off into 6 mains.
I definitely have fungus gnats. Fuckers must have got in with that coco I bought from hydro store. This has never happened to me with just promix but the benefits of coco are too much to pass up. I might order an OG BioWar/capsbennies/grubgrenade to help naturally get rid of them.
I’m getting some confirmed yellowing on bottoms of the zkittlez and WW’s. They must be heavy feeders because no other plant in the tent is getting yellow like that. I’m going to feed a compost tea, top dress everything at full strength and mulch in some worm castings to help break it down faster. Will also do a foliar spray with some insect frass, microbes and m1pps.
(Day 33) Got some more of that marine phytoplankton stuff to help stabilize my RO water. It’s got a good amount of soluble magnesium and trade minerals in it so that should help stop the yellowing on the zkittlez and WW.
(Day 34) Things are looking great so far and they’re all recovered from topping/transplant/lst and thriving. Some slight yellowing and a few of the plants are cupping from heat and high humidity. I just put in a dehumidifier to help bring the rh down. The m39/zkittlez bagseed plant is just outpacing everything in the tent by 4-6 days. No wonder organized crime used to grow it. I hear it can completely flower in 45 days with a solid yield and very little trimming or leaf matter. It’s very weak on the high and smell though. Nonetheless it should be nostalgic to try those old terps. There is still a small chance that it’s a super vigorous zkittlez plant too.
Plants should be showing sex this coming week. Hoping for 8+ fems but I can make do with just 4. 1-3 is unlikely but that would piss me off beyond belief. I’ve heard of it happening though.

Hey y'all - this is the exciting one for me, this year - I'm submitting the buds from these plants to the 4Plants Cannabis Cup in November, wish me luck! I'm in the amateur medical category, growing one of my favourite strains, it's exciting!
Hope you enjoy the video, I'm just a doofy guy growing some dope, hoping it's, um, dope!
Thanks for looking, let me know if you have any questions or comments 🙏

Lost my phone so couldn't post I've found it now all is looking good. Had the gavita blasting out the heat and infrared after vegging 5 weeks without any warmth. Using the 50w veg led strip in the corner and the 150w mars hydro led in the front corner. This 5x5 tent I will put the 4x4 up ASAP. First I have to get some more led lights ordered tomorrow and a UV tube from migro. The 4x4 will have either a few panel led lights or a 5x5 led bar light not sure yet what I'm doing but either one its crammed in here. Tomorrow is feed day I will try get some light to the top of the container as the shade is covering most of it since past few days now and I noticed its better to have some light heat and warmth to allow the roots to be warm and not damp in the cold shade. I messed up last time by cramming too many in a small tent. Hope not to repeat this time. I did expect there to be a couple more males this but even the bagseed blue cookies is confirmed female now 😋 I will start a new diary now for that one plant separately

I noticed that the whole right side of the tent had basically collapsed, so harvest was upon us. Using hedge clippers I cut away large chunks of the plant: THis thing is huge. Put some celophane over the cut ends and taped them, had to load them into the tent for drying at a couple of different levels so that it is stacked. Will update once I have dried and cured.

Spectacular autoflowering kush strain, very kushy smell for real, very citric and earthy, piney too, loving this terps, I have moved her along with all ofmylast automatic plants of this outdoor season inside under my LED panel of HortiONE. They're almost ready to chop down and I think they're gonna finish perfectly under this LED. Let's see how it goes 💜💚✌️

🌸 Week 5 – First Week of Flower ✅
The light cycle has been set to 12/12 since the start of the week, but there are no real signs of flowering on Cherry MAC Muffin just yet.
However, she’s already starting to stretch nicely! 📏
Current height: 46 cm
The plant looks strong, healthy, and full of energy. 💪
💧 Watering & Feeding
➤ 6 L per plant every 3 days
➤ Feeding at ~50 % of the Advanced Nutrients schedule
➤ Input EC: ~1.3
➤ Runoff EC (Cherry MAC): 1.0
Still super happy with the substrate mix (Plagron Lightmix + Coco) – runoff values are stable and easy to measure. 👌
Looking back, I probably could’ve flipped a week earlier – the tent’s filling up fast now! 😄

First week of pre flower. Getting nervous about this transition stage, first plant ever, any advice on how to not screw it all up?!? Also, someone give me some feedback! I think she looks in decent health but I would love some experienced opinions.
