Hello! First and foremost.. thanks for stopping by! After many years and dreams of growing I'm finally giving it a go. I will update this "diary" every Sunday with the previous weeks progress. All feedback is welcome as long as it's done in a constructive manner. Please keep in mind this is my first grow and will be learning and making adjustments as I go. I am growing in tent indoors in the Midwest. STRAINS: 7 Super Skunk 1 Tahoe OG Possible HiFi 4g & Slurricane clone EQUIPMENT: 5x5 Vivosun grow tent 1 ViparSpectra P2000 LED (additional LED will be added in 2 weeks.. next payday 🤪) AC Infinty 6 inch Carbon Filter AC infinity cloudline T6 fan 3 gallon smart pots Two 11 inch honeywell "desktop" fans Vivosun Seedling heat mat Seed Sarting station InkBird humidity Controller 8 socket surge protector with built in timer Ducting Metal grating Rope hangers Zip ties Solo Cup Fine mist spray bottle SOIL/NUTRIENTS Fox Farms Light Warrior seedling starter soil Roots Organic Original Soil Distilled water (room temp with Avg PH 6.3) Coconut water 50ml/gallon Roots Organic dry fertilizer lineup January 11th - ordered 20 Super Skunk feminized seeds from ILGM.com. the order process and payment was easy and intuitive. Was updated by email every step of the way. I did not pay the extra $25 for the ability to track my package, however ILGM did email me once product was shipped as well as when product was out for delivery. January 25th- Seeds delivered. Pkg was discreet. I would have like to see some type of pkg that took into account the cold weather, however I was home to pick up pkg so it wouldn't sit out in cold. January 26th- today is the day I attempt my first germination. I decided to germinate 6 seeds using the direct in soil method. Soil I am using for germination is Fox Farms Light Warrior. Watered with distilled water that was at room temperature with an avg PH of 6.2. Germinating in a seed starter tray using a seed heat mat. January 27th - Watered as needed January 28th- First seed sprouted. Germaninated an additional 6 feminized super skunk seeds using same method as above. Watered as needed. Recieved two tahoe OG seedlings from a friend. They are roughly a week ahead of mine. Both seedlings have a little yellowing on leaves. Both seedlings were transplanted into FF light warrior soil. Watered as needed. Placed in tent under ViparSpectra P2000 LED at 25% power 30 inches above. Tent at 71° F 65% Humidity at 18/6 light cycle. January 29th- two additional seeds sprouted. One seed from first batch pushed itself out from soil and tap root was exposed. Gently placed back in soil. (No change since) Second seed sprouted was from second batch germinated. Watered as needed using coconut water at 50ml/gallon. January 30th- Two additional seeds sprouted. Both are from second batch. Watered as needed. Added 10inch fan into grow tent set on low. January 31st- These two as well as sprout from yesterday were transplanted into Solo cups with FF light Warrior soil and moved into tent with same parameters as above except LED was moved to 40% power. Watered as needed. Feb 1st - started germanting 3 more SS seeds. Dug up the 4 seeds that had not germinated and trying a second time. No water for other seedlings today. Feb 2nd- no water Feb 3rd- 1 seedling emerged from the soil!! Watered with coconut water 💧 End of the week thoughts: I believe I watered both the seeds and the sprouts way too much. Backing off water until soil is dry. In the future I would like to try germinating in water and paper towel. I like this idea as I know whether or not the tap root pops... currently I'm left wondering 😔 Questions: At what point are the plants in VEG? Is it as soon as they sprout? Any idea why some leaves on the Tahoe OG are yellow? Some new sprouts are also more like green than others.. thoughts? 18/6 or 24 for veg.. thoughts?

Day 78 ☀️☀️🔥☀️ 16-28 degrees, humidity 45-65%. Tropicana and I start into the 12th week with intense autumn colors and an explosion of fragrances. It‘s very hot during the last days but bu the night temperatures fell more than 11 degrees last night. When I check my plants in the early morning, give them water and attention, a cloud of Tropicanas fruity and floral fragrances surrounding me. Night 79 ⚡️🌈 This will be Tropicanas last night. I found a little bud rott in the main flower. Glad that I made a video inside. I just saw a yellow leaf as a sign and remembered what I read last week about this problem connected with high humidity and very dense buds. I didn‘t follow any hygiene rules and humidity on the balcony was very high for too long period. So this could happen unfortunately.

Week no.13 The Ice Cream Cake auto grows good. She build her Buds day for day... Bigger and Bigger. She is already so sticky , i never had any Strain what whas so sticky like she is actually. I am sure it is because i use the "Supplement" Lights ( I give more per Day ) And because i give her more P-K and the Nutrients from @xpertnutrients. Lets see when she will be finaly finish 18.11.2024: Is it time to chop? 17.11: Die Lady wächst immer noch.. Baut ihre Buds immer dichter und breiter! Ist deutlich mehr "sticky" geworden. Der Duft ist wie eine Sinfonie von einer verbotenen Liebe

Frisian Dew and Shaman are doing splendidly in the larger pots, a success story so far. FD and Shaman in the garden soil are a little behind, but are continuing to develop. Slugs and snails remain a problem, especially after these rainy weeks. Durban Poison from regular seed; a failure so far, perhaps they need the warmer climate in the polytunnel that is being set up. So far I have seen some male Durban Poisons, but which ones are definitely female? It remains exciting. Breeding is different from growing. Frisian Dew in a pot 73 cm, 72 l pot Shaman in a pot 65 cm, 50 l pot Frisian Dew in garden soil 52 cm Shaman in garden soil 50 cm Durban Poison in a pot 40 cm, 72 l pot

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48” in height at maturity.

ITA: siamo giunti quasi alla fine del viaggio. Ho tolto tutta la soluzione presente nel sistema e l'ho sostituita con acqua del rubinetto senza sali. Le piante resteranno così dai 2 ai 4 giorni per il lavaggio delle radici. Insieme all'acqua ho utilizzato Flora Kleen (ex flush kleen) della GHE, a concentrazione di 2ml al litro. La raccolta si avvicina!!!! edit: ho finalmente raccolto le piante ma che fatica ragazzi! In 4 ci abbiamo messo tutto il pomeriggio e le prime ore della sera per finire di trimmare!! Ho tagliato le piante ramo per ramo in modo che l'essiccazione sia più veloce. Ho appeso i rami in una box 80x80cm con all'interno un deumidificatore e un estrattore da 10mm. L'umidità oscilla dal 48% al 55%, direi ottimo! Aggiornerò il diario dopo aver pesato le cime secche e dopo alcune settimane di concia per la smoke review ENG: we have almost reached the end of the journey. I removed all the solution in the system and replaced it with salt-free tap water. The plants will remain in this way for 2 to 4 days for washing the roots. Together with the water I used Flora Kleen (formerly flush kleen) from GHE, at a concentration of 2ml per liter. The harvest is approaching !!!! edit: I finally harvested the plants but what an effort guys! 4 of us took the whole afternoon and early evening to finish trimming !! I cut the plants branch by branch so that drying is faster. I hung the branches in an 80x80cm box with a 10mm dehumidifier and extractor inside. The humidity ranges from 48% to 55%, I would say excellent! I will update the diary after weighing the dry buds and after a few weeks of tanning for the smoke review

I used my Max-see magnifier to take some close up pictures of Miss Dosidos trichomes. She is getting closer and closer to a harvest. It rained a little this week so I only fed her a couple of times. I am currently feeding her @AdvanceNutrients Jungle Juice. I have not had to defoliate this grow. I just didn't need to open up any space for sunlight, so I left them all in contact. All in all, it was a good week. Miss Dosidos is dancing and concentrating on her bud growth. As always, Let's chat it up! See ya next week.

7e semaine de floraison, Application du propolix contre le début du botrytis qui a commencer semaine dernière, la gorilla a du être infecter depuis que le tronc c'est fendu en deux. J'ai pourtant pris les precaution nécessaires, pour l'instant aucun autre départ de botrytis ca a l'air sous contrôle le produit a l'air efficace, j'ai acheter un ventilateur uniquement pour elle j'espère l'aider et non propager le fleau sur mes autres plant..

exagerei na rega até o meio da semana, deixei 4 dias sem rega e recuperaram, umas pelo estresse começaram mostrar défice de fósforo, fiz uma cobertura com torta de mamona, farinha de ossos, esterco de aves, humus de minhoca e calcário. Qual foto colocariam de capa dessa semana?

È stata una settimana bellissima! Il caldo estivo italiano finalmente è arrivato con temperature alte di giorno e fresco di notte. Queste varietà sono perfette! Ogni banca dei semi di queste varietà merita il mio applauso di cuore! Alcune sono più alte di me cioè superano il metro ed ottanta centimetri di altezza! Molto diramate tutte si stanno riempiendo di infiorescenze dure, appiccicose e molto resinose con odori intensi e fruttati! Ogni varietà sta sviluppando il suo aroma in maniera impeccabile! Gli insetti e parassiti ormai non sono più un problema, la resina appiccicosa non è gradita dagli insetti! Sono cresciute molto ed in circa tre mesi verranno raccolte, adesso si riempiono fino a che possono, le infiorescenze si stanno gonfiando ed iniziano a prendere forma. Abbiamo iniziato con un po' di Atami bloombastic assieme al top max e biobloom e se continuano così tra circa 4 settimane raccoglierò alberi XXL di altissima qualità biologica con aromi speciali! Odore nauseante in giardino! Un abbraccio a tutti e complimenti ai creatori di queste varietà!

Plant is still alive. I believe some sort of genetic mutation has caused this plant to react the way it has outdoors. I have cut neurmours clones that grow and flower normally inside. The mother plant (seen in pic) and ever clone planted outdoors had a negative reaction to being brought outdoors. I have treated for and ruled out mites. Interested for opinions. Thanks growdaddy!

Day 21. Fed just over 1.5L only yesterday and they appear to be really thirsty girls with the pot already feeling light however with the slight curling of Leafs maybe suggests slight overwatering. Im also thinking a very slight mg deficiency so will add a little cal-mag on the next feed. Gonna wait at least another 24 hours then Introduce bloom and top max. Would like these to stretch a lot over the next week. Already starting to smell. With this tent being in my garage and the outside temps dropping from 10 degrees now down to 0 the temp inside the tent has gone from 27 to 22. Turned extraction fan down to help hold the heat but with the night 600w HPS on 24-0 as well as plenty of inside airflow, absolute no issues. Day 23 Just shy of 2L per plant. Responding well. Very early signs of flowering, still stretching about 1” daily really wanna see these shoot up over the next 5 days Day 25 currently 12-14” height. Plants are thirsty so another 1.7L fed today.

Growing at a good pace. Going to top the leaders at the 3rd node on day 28. Might wait a week for the others. Going to mainline my grow for the first time. I will wait to defoliate after they heal from being topped. I will update this week with more pictures after they are topped. Topped day 28. Defoliated day 30. Lst day 32?

Olá amigos, passou uma semana, houve um bom desenvolvimento, o jardim está a ficar bonito 😅 as três variedades da barney's são muito boas, e tb acho que estou um pouco melhor nesta segunda vez de cultivo interior que faço na vida, a runtz muffin é uma planta bastante robusta tal como a BlueBerry OG com um crescimento normal, a shiskaberry ora a shyscaberry 🤔 nunca tinha visto uma planta assim.. estão a crescer ramos novos nos ramos laterais, mas que planta cheia de força, amanhã vou mudar o ciclo da luz para floração (12/12). Espero que continue assim com êxito, aceito sugestões, grato amigos 🌳🌱🍀☮️✌️

Day 141 from start and this will be the last week in flower. Buds have gotten so heavy they split the stem. So I had to repair her because of that. But it looks like i will have a great yield from this one. I have 3 clones off her doing good. I definitely am proud of her and can't wait to get her cured. Thanks everyone and I'll update some after harvest then drying.
