I sliced my thumb open so this weeks report will be short. We had budlets show up and have come in strong. All 7 colas are firm and strong. I was able to apply some tie downs to allow more light in to the bottom canopy. No issues to report other than some small colored tips that Iโ€™ll keep my eye on. The environment is pretty solid. No issues there to report. In case you didnโ€™t know, we are approaching the most crucial weeks of flowering, weeks 4-6. From my research, this is a very crucial time for cannabis plants. Hopefully my thumb will have healed up next week. This is what I get for planting a tree on Earth day while stoned!

Day 16: New grow week and took some sitting time to kind of adjust the soil and plant locations within the tent. Like I said in the beginning didn't fill the pots so kind of scooped out soil to a stand-bye pot and compressed the soil some near the stalks. I got so really nice healthy stalks that I'm gonna post so check em. Been probably overfeeding but at this point I need nutrient's and these ladies seem to be taking it pretty well so not really worried about it and adding GREASE into my batch of feeding this week. I left a gallon of pre-mix in the tent and am a bit worried so kind of went for a fresh batch and tossed the one sitting in the tent.(Damn it) Raised the light's also just because I want them to reach up. I love to stockiness of my plants right now but need more height. 8ish..got a great pair of paring scissors so trimmed and topped my girls...not sure if that was a good move this early in the grow but this is where the learning and experience comes from I guess. Leaving one alone to have comparisons. Think I'm gonna leave em be for a few and see what happens! Day 17: greeting growth spurts like "wow" Finished off second week batch with a all around watering using a 2 cup pouring cup. Giving each plant about 1 1/2 cups per plant around the main stem outwards. Gonna be mixing my 3rd week feeding probably with 2morrows watering of VPT sesezym and Carbo load for watering but no feeding until Sunday afternoon. Day 18: The gloves are off and I'm swinging for the fences at this point. Watering every day it seems like just trying to keep thing moist and in growth. Watering diameter increasing and going for bottom root watering if that makes any sense. I knocked over one of my babies twice and she is soo rooted, didn't even phase her so think my stems are pretty strong. Took away the milk crate training wheels and giving my plants healthy doses of nutrients to keep them vegging out. Day 19: 7ish Heavy feeding and went up on all my nutrients to full 8ml per gallon. I have 7 plants and usually go through that gallon per feeding at this point. Expanding the watering and not quite to the edges yes but sure i'll be there in a few days give or take. Sat with the plants while watering listening to B.M. and just enjoying the expressions and melodies of life while learning the finer points of growing. os Clipped my tops and am getting those branches to grow out so happy about that. I was a bit nervous seeing those pretty tops laying in the dirt but was happy to see the results of the training. Gonna start with a bit of twine training in the comings days and watching for cal and mag deficiencies as I go. I see a few leaves looking a bit off color so will mist in the coming days. On another note got a pack of Fast Flowers from 420Fastbuds!!!! The Buds look soooo beautiful and enticing that I just couldn't resist!!! My next grow is gonna be so legit!!!! Day 20: lightly misted with some Golden Goddess and gonna seszyme vpt with AE,GI,MT rhino and b2....not alot since soil moist but enough on the outsides to keep the root zone going. Plants are getting really bushy and snipping but not too much. Day 21: Watering today and just thinking bout this 4th week. Watering with some sensi cal. Also going for another humidifyer in tha tent for more even humidification. My plants look pretty strong but looking for more roots to get bigger plants. Gonna stay with the vtp mix. I got 5gallon pot so we got the space. Didn't put any clay @ bottom of my pots so once these pots flush, hope I get good drainage. Been defoliating...smh. like trimming my hair always too much so just hitting the bottom parts of plants so that they can get air. 8ish: thinking I may need to go up on my PH a bit just to prevent my roots from locking from all the nutrition. I want them to be able to get all these nutrients in a get some decent sized plants. Not sure if it's the cutting of the lower fan leaves. Just have to wait until morning to see how my plants respond.

Week 6 flower, half way there! Buds are starting to fill in now and getting some decent frost. A couple of tops are getting more light than others, and fattening a bit more and looking real nice. It looks like there is some purple starting to come out at the tops. Also spotted some discolouration on a few leaves closest to the light, so I turned the one light down to 60-75%, no need to push it at this point and burn her up! She will go as fast as the soil and environmental conditions will allow her to. Hand watered in Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed Extract 0-0-17, otherwise water drip is running on same schedule. Just using straight tap water that sits in a 30 gallon reservoir with a submergible water pump running 24/7 breaking surface and aerating water. Water comes out the tap @ 7ph and less than 15ppm. So I donโ€™t do nothing to it, I drink it:) Thanks for the view ๐Ÿคœ Have a great week!

Very Nice looking and good Smelling Plant. Buds after Trim are medium dense but very tasty. Flavourwise it goes into ripe Berrys with a hint of Citrus and Soapyness in the background. The Plant looks exactly like on the pictures High-Giraffe-Seeds shows on their website. All in all definetly a recommendable Plant to grow.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-25. Week 5 starts. Added a video of the girls. Gave the girl water and nutrients. This girl is 24 cm high and have grown 7 cm in 7 days. I flushed the girl yesterday with 40 liters of tap water. Im lowering the humidity in the room with a dehumidifier and try to have 50% air humidity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-29. Installation of the New light rail in the grow room. Its Advanced star light V 5.0. Added a video of it.

Fo' Twenny here with an update on our little Gorilla x Cookies cultivar from Expert Seeds! 9/16 - Day 12: She is a beautiful shade of green and looks happy. I was one square pots short and when I bought this one, I accidentally got the 7" x 7" instead of the 6" x 6". It will bug me, because I am weird, but I planted her in it anyway. I put 1 tbsp Mycos, .5 tsp Recharge, and .25 tsp of Azos in the whole at the root zone. Sprinkled some White Dutch Clover seed after transplanting. Watered with plain water. BAD NEWS: Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce! GOOD NEWS: So, I upgraded the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. $306 USD after all is said and done. https://app.alibaba.com/dynamiclink?touchId=1600101815945&type=product&schema=enalibaba%3A%2F%2Fdetail%3Fid%3D1600101815945%26ck%3Dshare_detail&ck=share_detail&shareScene=buyer 9/17 - Day 26: Installed new light NUTRITION: Mixing rundown Foliar Feed & Nutrient Solutiin 2 gal tap h2O run through x2 KDF filters Start ppm 630 Start ph 7.8 1 tsp/gal Gold Shield Silica Supplement 1 tsp/gal Fox Farm Gringo Rasta Cal-Mag 8.1 ph .33 tsp gal ph down pH: 6.5 PPM: 730 Serenade 3 tsp/gal (Always adjust pH prior to adding any microbial innocclants) Filled Spray bottle with 32 oz of the 2 gal mixed solution. Add 2 tsp/gal of Fox Farm Flower Kiss (.5 tsp 32oz) 6 tsp/gal Optic Foliar Transport PPM: 749 pH: 6.4 Added 1 tsp Recharge to the remainder of feed solution (to 1.75 gal) in the sprayer. Thanks for stopping by my garden! Please check out my other diaries & give me a follow! Happy growing my friends! โ˜บ๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Peace, โ˜ฎ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ Love, ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸคŸ & Frosty Nugs! โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฒ - Fo' Twenny

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

Only adding water at a Ph of between 5.5 and 7โ€ฆstill No extra nutrientsโ€ฆswitched placement of the plants because the Big Bang was starting to cone and figured the mist from the humidifier was giving too much extra moisture (Not sure how much sense that makes but it healed after the move so I guess๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿพ) Other than that everything was fine.

Vegetative Week 4 โ€“ Pineapple Upside Down (Round 2) This fourth week of vegetative growth confirms a pattern that has unfortunately been present since the beginning of this run. The plant is technically growing, but visually she looks unhealthy, weak, and stressed. Overall structure, leaf quality, and general vigor are clearly not where they should be at this stage. Nutrient solution has been kept within a reasonable range, with pH maintained between 5.8 and 6.2 and EC around 1.1โ€“1.2. Despite this, there is no clear positive response from the plant. At this point, it is difficult to identify a single root cause. It could be related to nutrition balance, substrate preparation, environmental parameters, lighting, or simply a combination of multiple small issues accumulating since the start. The humidity dome has now been fully removed. Given the plantโ€™s current condition, maintaining excessive humidity no longer seems beneficial. The approach is now to simplify, stabilize, and observe. This run is clearly delayed, and expectations for a quick recovery are low. That said, the focus remains on learning from these early-stage difficulties and improving future starts, especially substrate preparation and initial environmental control. For now, the plant will continue to be fed consistently, without overreacting or introducing drastic changes. Observation and patience remain the priority. See you next week, and take care.
