Day 29 29/07/24 Monday Nice feeding today with De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Gave her 300 ml and she had a small run off. Getting chunky in the stem now ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š Day 31 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’š Day 32 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 35 04/08/24 Sunday END OF WEEK ๐Ÿ˜ De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each. Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive. All plants look great, very healthy, one of the Overdose is way behind and due to space maybe culled at flower I'll see how she gets on.

This week we are helping this lady to grow even more using plenty of techniques to boost its power and to redirect its energy to the main colas we are working on... We gonna wait a little bit until it gets packed again to start defoliation once more, in the meantime we continue to add nutes and water frequently as schedule in our program so we can get the best of her Hopefully, she will get real good Alright guys did you see what we did on the 21 st? We want this girl to grow and give us its best yield :) let's see if we can achieve it

Rolling along and she is blowing up. Starting to see some pistils at a few of the nodes, so Im waiting for the stretch to begin. Once I can single out the dominant tops, I'll strip some of the lower bud sites to focus her resources on making big flowers, reducing the larfy sites and also improving airflow through the plant...every little bit helps. She still has a couple really crinkly leaves that are slower growing, which has me a little baffled, but either way, I'll continue to push her to the limits with this MegaCrop medley and I'll hit the bloom switch on the light so she can go all in for the next 50 days or so. Tell me who does more with a one gallon DWC in a 16"x16" tent... Top level savagery with these Groloponics!

Total days above ground: 70 Total flower nights: 31 Vege growth stopped around FD25. Started feeding 1/2 strength fertilizer FD26 (last 6 irrigations including today). Excellent development across the canopy. Tried to get some pictures showing how the colas are stacking up along with a couple shots of terminal buds. Included some photos and videos of irrigation setup, drainage and other half of the tent setup that is not often visible in weekly updates. Also, a video showing the canopy with some grateful dead background music. Last week including progression pictures as they are full size. Kush Mints have been awesome 1 through 4. Great structure, easy to manipulate, and a couple had a nice strong minty smell that keeps changing everyday, so I'm not getting my hopes too high, yet. This stuff evolves over time and what a stem-rub smells like at FD30 isn't always representative of what the finished product will be. Regardless, super happy with the crop, overall. Smell is starting to ratchet up. Bud sites are mostly formed at this point and we will see some noticable ripening by next week's update. Might see a hint of fattening calyxes in the bud pictures this week. 2026-2 starts in 8 days. Will have some Blue Cookies and Pineapple Express from MSNL running along side some Vanilla Creme Pie from HSC. Can't believe winter-2 is already starting. Time is flying by. Breeding cycle is doing well. Will update that when the pollen-receivers join the pollen-donator on a 12/12 light schedule. Side note -- looks like I avoided any issues from accidentally leaving port hole opened about 8 or 9 days ago. I have it marked in notes and will feel 100% confident 2-weeks out from the incident. So far, so good. The lung room is mostly dark and light would have to travel a difficult path to get in the tent, but still mildly concerned about it.

Welcome to week 10 of my Watermelon candy by Zamnesia seeds. Zamnesia seeds 10% discount with code GROWITGD Just a couple of weeks to go, plant has developed into a beauty, buds are bathing in trichomes, smell is superatractive and the word dank comes through the mind after looking and smelling some time. Nutrients are dosed quite precise, so nutes in the substrate are almost finished, which already is a bit visible. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Also had a minor WPM problem, but solved๐Ÿ˜it with a rotten milk๐Ÿˆ with water 50ml to 400ml milkwater solution, spray during daylight, sprayed the #@*โœ“out of it and put in some extra ventilation. Fresh milks works too but you need to double or quadriple your dose. I love growing weed....

Greetings friends Allow me to introduce you to my first ever brand spanking new homemade self contained DWC hydroponic system. So for this small experimental cycle, I will be testing various nutritional additives and plant training techniques. I will be sure to record a daily log in order to optimize my progress. Please note I will not be including germination and drying time. Day 1 Mon, 16 July So after a few days germination and nurturing, the plants have been moved to their permanent home. I filled the reservoir with nutrients following the can a websites specific instructions. Day 2 Tue, 17 July I've noticed a small growth in height however, I had a small humidity dome which upon moving slightly damaged the leaves but I noticed some strange spots which may have been from the fertiliser. But I did follow the dosages exactly?? Day 4 Thurs, 18 July Note to self, maybe stick with clones seeing as you get straight into the vegging stage saving maybe a week or two. That and the fact they're free. Ok, so I had to completely empty all my reservoirs because I misinterpreted the CANNA websites feeding schedule. It said 0-3 weeks which I foolishly did not realise was post-germination/sapling. And also one of the smaller plants #3, actually fell over because it's roots still had not dug deep enough to feed on the reservoirs moisture. However, I almost literally saw it pop back up with a tad of rehydration. Note to self a good trick for future reference will be to fill the reservoir right up until it pretty much touches the net pot and then shrinks back down to that even 35L once I begin adding nutrients. Day 5 Fri, 18 July Ok, so I gathered a bit of Intel from my friendly neighbourhood hydroman. First off I can hold off buying the EC meter until next they enter the actual vegetative stage which apparently is between 3 to 5 internodes ( the space between nodes) until then I will be feeding them a fraction amount of veggie fertilizer and rhizotonic. Now, this swamp cooler thing has piqued my curiosity if I'm not mistaken dry ice converts to carbon dioxide which we all know plants love so, that means a swamp cooler can cool, raise humidity and increase co2? In the mean time, I was given a bag of homegrown co2 which I will photograph. This will also counter the high-temperature problems I have been having. Apparently, plants can withstand an additional 10 degrees with the addition of co2 that complemented by silica would prove to be invaluable in the summer. I will be purchasing a humidifier for my saplings soon and have decided to stick with weekly reservoirs, Peace out. Day 7 Sun, 21 July Note to self I think for my cycle if I used a short square shaped reservoirs and perhaps less litres next time with multiple net pots per reservoir and with clones I think that would greatly accelerate vegge time and thus shorter cycles in general Got myself a very good humidifier and added small amounts of vegge fertilizer to the none CANNA plants.

flowers of excellent quality full of resin, I washed the roots 10 days before harvest, obtaining an even cleaner flavor.

Hello people week # 9 is at the start, unfortunately I can not get the humidity below 40% but we always stay in the 40s, this is accompanied by a temperature of max 26c. The buds are in production, you can clearly see a difference from last week. The harvest is still difficult to estimate when that will be. I fertilize them as on the BioBizz plan until week 10 and I rinse them for another 2 weeks. A little tip: if you turn the pots 1/4 circle every day, this simulates different wind directions. The plant reacts differently to it than when it stands still in a place for 10 weeks. As already mentioned, my rules for autoflowering are: LESS IS SOMETIMES MORE. This helps beginners to take their time to study the plant. To understand the stages of development. Mastering the harvest is only possible through experience. Thanks for your time and for reading. Your green fox ๐ŸฆŠ๐ŸฆŠ

Welcome to week 7! Maybe the last week before harvest, i will keep an eye out for the trichomes in the end of the week ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 21/11 Water day* They got the same dose as last week, and flush might come soon. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 22/11 Lower humidity 40-45 ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 23/11 I got a cheap Scrog net to support the heavy tops and correct the canopy spread. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 24/11 Water day* Start of flush Moved the light a little bit closer ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 25/11 The Frost, The Smell and The Trichomes are telling me, we are getting close to harvest ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 26/11 Changed the humidity to be extra low the last days of their cycle. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰ 27/11 Water day* Flushing

This is it. The chop. Cut down the remaining plants this week (3 total). The trichs were around 30-50% amber. It really just depended on the branch I checked. Some nugs were almost 100% caramelized while others were like 20% amber. That was the goal for the remaining plants. This has been a great season. The Season This season went really (s)well. Nothing extraordinary other than I opted to use BT for the first time. I applied b.t. twice after I noticed caterpillars were starting to increase on the daily. They still appeared, but the damage was minimized. The 2 things that I made a mistake on was probably (1)not having the right size container for the first up-pot. I should've just placed the plants in slightly larger containers immediately. (2)Tropic orange didn't like getting moved around the garden when in flowering. I can't make this up. I noticed that I had them in the North side of the garden--i moved them 10 feet south in the first week of flowering and they got a little sad looking. Just weird. The plant that I didn't move did not experience that effect. Now it's documented. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The Grow I grew 5 plants to the end in fabric containers. All seeds were Tropic Orange from Equilibrium Genetics. All seeds germinated. I gave a 6th plant to a buddy who had to harvest early due to rodents starting to eat his flowers. Of the 5: 2 were placed in 30 gallon containers solo, 2 together in a 30 gallon container also LSTd, and 1 plant was grown in a 45 gallon container with pineapple, chilli, and thyme companion plants(this one had purple flowers also--1st time I see that they purp on cold nights). LST I experimented with LST a bit more. I was told by a fellow grower that what I missed was the pinch after the pin. That I should've topped the plants that were pinned down to get the yield up. At first I was like nah, but then it makes sense. Maybe I'll try it next time. I forgot to ask around when I should top also. More to learn about this technique on my end. Watering I finally got my trigger finger under control. No root rot this season. Summer still amazes me in the peak water consumed (about 3x the normal). The summer peak coincides with the flowering and a couple of weeks later the watering decreases to about 1/3 of the water. Amendments I only amended the soil about 5x this season. I think I added kelp meal like 3x and a combo of bud candy and overdrive 2x. The soil I used was also amended initially. Flowers The flowers were great. Gassy to fruity smell. Even got a hint of mango peel and orange peel. The last few plants smelled amazingly pungent. Letting them go longer also increases the potency in the aroma and the resin production. These nugs are more stickier than those from a few weeks ago. I think I got hash fingers from touching the stems and a few leaves too much earlier, this plant is resi-nous for sure. Harvest Plant 1 (short, bushy, purple and orangey leaf tips, sour diesel/Tropicana cookie lookin, had to hold the branches up, grew like 50" in a 30 gallon fabric pot with chilli companion plant)- OCT 7 chop all white trichromes with some amber here and there (~1 lb) Plant 2 (tall, but started the shortest, not bushy at all, very sativa dom hybrid looking, dark green leaves that looked maple leafy when young, very little foliage in general, but nugs were dense, turned purple, smell like a fruit smoothie of sorts, always stayed strong but required some support at the end, 62" in a 45 gallon pot with chilli,thyme, and pineapple companion plants) - Oct 7 chop all white trichromes very little amber (~1 lb)

Environment: Temperature: ~26 ยฐC Humidity: ~72% RH Watering / Feeding: During this week, both plants were watered with RO water supplemented with CalMag to help reduce early stress and support root and cell development. No base nutrients were added at this stage. Observations: Week 2 was mainly focused on recovery after the early seed shell issues. Apricot Auto #1 responded well and began to stabilize, showing improved leaf development and a healthier overall appearance. Apricot Auto #2 remained slower and showed delayed development, with lighter leaf color compared to #1, but stayed alive and stable. ๐ŸŒฑ Lowering the humidity from very high germination levels helped improve overall plant stability and root activity. No training or plant manipulation was performed. The main goal this week was to keep conditions steady and allow the plants to recover naturally before pushing growth ๐Ÿ˜Š
