Week 5 : Six Shooter in Biotabs An eventful week, growing daily, destroying its training daily, pulled out it's metal hook and most of its ties , but overall doing well, getting bushy and pushing it's secondaries above the canopy reaching for the light. Turned up the light to 600W, it's making the room a bit warmer but i'm able to control it pretty well. This 6 shooter is basically in the first week of flowering, but will need an extra week or even two of bloom i think before it comes to maturity, i'm guessing week 12. watered with my micro and beneficials solutions, frothy and brownish but i mean clean water is overrated lol gave them some watering with co2 too, but when i sprayed I think i was spraying too close and using tap water in which i had not measured the micro i was adding so the spray left residue everywhere on the leaves, not really sure how to fix it actually, it's not biggie i know but still. I got these bakery trays used for cooking cakes and cookies and i'm using them to lift the pots slightly getting better airflow. I dont know if it's the airflow under the pots or simply that these are just drinking more for the stage of growth they're at but they're getting three waterings this week which means they are drinking fully 50% more on last week ! 9 pints instead of 6 ! special shout out to my new friend @greencropPT for teaching me some new tricks and showing me some cool stuff ! Week 5 : Six Shooter in Vertafort decent week for the vertafort six shooter, used to be the runt, has basically caught up by now. Glad i did some LST the canopy is even which is great to gage how high the light goes - i'm adjusting the HID every couple of days basically following the growth of the plants. This one has bushed out nicely, i removed a fan leaf that was shading the main cola. It's just now pushing out mini pistils , looking forward to seeing how these do during the main flower stretch. Watered her with my micro and beneficials once, co2 enriched water once, and will likely get a third watering this week. Just going in the tent every so often trying to train the side colas and keep the canopy even. Looking forward to seeing some amazing buds come out of this one ! Week 5 : Mr.B's Six Shooter First week of flowering for the tent and everything is going really well actually, Mr.B's not really showing any signs of excess or deficiencies, but i got nervous going into flower so i added some beneficials. The six shooter is bushing out really nice, pushing it's secondary colas above the cannopy. i took two leaves off this one, they were healthy leaves , but thick, dark brown and causing all sorts of shadow... It was a really interesting experience doing the beneficials for the first time, it got clumpy, brownish, frothy ... gross ! and it was "so ghetto" getting spores and such straight out of a zip lock, check my other diaries i'll put some pics up of that just for laughs. I decided to eyeball my micro and kelp spray which means that there is residu all over lol, trying to get rid of it without rubbing it off, but i might just have to do that. lol that was an experience too, i mix it in for the spray and the solution turns red ! never seen that before even on this site ! check out the vid too, you can see me spraying the plants lol... no biggy but it was an eventful week for bulbi and I learned loads and loads ! not sure if I'm doing the beneficials correctly : does anyone know if those bacteria and fungi play well together? anyway VPD is really on point doing very well on that front, and you can tell from the explossive growth : these six shooters completely pulled out their metal hooks ! drop me a line , i'd love to hear from you ! 🚀🚀

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.

All 3 pound cake looking good and healthy. Should be ready to transplant soon 👌👌 I have now moved the seedlings into a 3x3 tent with a 650w philzon LED light Just until late veg early flower then they are going back under the Spider Farmer for the Full MOT and Output lol Humidity has been easy to deal with luckily . I have been spraying around the solo cups and near the stem with plain water to keep it moist and Humid. Seem to be loving it so far 👌 Next step is wait til these are reaching edge of solo cup and transplant into bigger pots. Germination was success 🙌 The countdown begins!

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Start of week 5 today, everything seems to be going great! The Gelato OG is by far the biggest plant of the bunch so far but they all seem to be taking well to LST, HST , Topping & defoliation! Will be going in the flower tent as soon as the other ladies harvest so they will probably have atleast 2 to 3 more weeks of veg!

Plants were still neglected due to health. Starting to feel better and was finally able to get out and feed/water plants. These girls are doing great all things considering. Although they are not as big as my earlier harvests, I am surprised that they doing as well as they are with weeks of neglect. Now it's just a matter of finishing in time.

A great week for the girls, started with some defoliating after figuring out where our net would be. Mostly the lower leaves and lowest sets of bud sites that would be popcorns or larf later. Also took a couple larger fan leaves to open them up for the light, and tied down the freshly healed topped main stems to even out the canopy. The diary was extended 2 days (and our diaries are late lol, birthdays) as we are flipping on the first of July, the net is around 70% full or more as of dropping it and tucking some branches. I'll probably shift them slightly, they'll be in the same spots but moved to give Blue Dream some extra tucking space. She's Sativa dominant and likely to stretch the most along side Apex and possible Citradellic Sunset but the journal's i've seen her stretch wasn't as severe lol. With extra tucking space, and being next to the taller hybrids it should help keep the right side canopy balanced. Both sides have their own 4x4 light. Bud Ignitor has been added on the last day. We will continue defoliation for the first two weeks of flower focusing on the under side of the canopy where it's shaded, and removing any suckers we find. There were signs of a Ph imbalance on Citradellic Sunset which is my own error, tap water Ph vs Nutrient Ph, not in soil anymore! lol But she has recovered happily and is growing vigorously. Still no new TDS meter so we stick close to the feeding schedule from Advanced Nutrients with some tweaks. We feed twice a week, Feed/Feed/Water. So instead of the full 4ml of base nutes we use 3ml each watering and they seem happier. 2ml of the additives but most are only added once a week except for Sensi Cal-Mag, Bud Candy and now Bud Ignitor (we also will use Big Bud, Nirvana and Overdrive twice a week). The final watering is PHd to be the same as the feed watering. Max strength base nutes have always burned the tips of my plants, I almost backed off to 2ml of base nutes twice a week as 3ml gave slight tip burn to the smaller Say Less and White Wedding but they have adjusted to it and new growth is healthy. I will most likely edge up to 3ml more gradually next grow. We are still new to scrog but I feel we are off to a better start this round, last time the net was completely full and I don't want a second net.

Hey all, Its been a few weeks so lets take a peak at our Blueberry manifold. Last time we topped our girl down to the 3rd node and removed all other growth except the two growth tip and their fan leaves. Over the past two weeks shes continued to grow an addition four pairs of leaves on each arm. This wee we will cut those branches back to the 3rd node and then clean all other growth from the plant except what remains on the 1st and 3rd node of each side. This should give us 8 main colas that will grow up from these eight remaining growth tips. Continuing to feed as normal while trying to get the soil PH up to a proper level.

First week under the Lumatek 600 Pro set to 50% and aporox 40cm away from canopy. Day 7 applied some pruning and supercropped the few taller girls to even out the canopy. I will add a CO2 bag next week as i increase the power to avoid potential light stress.

Week 10 done and dusted!!! She is as monsterous as ever 😂 Flowering going well! She is drinking an absurd amount! Probably 3 litres a day easy. I look forward to harvesting her tent-mates in the coming weeks so she can be spread out a bit better. I am pretty sure if she was grown alone, she would have filled up the entire tent. She is a prodigious grower!!

This week on the chem dog hs amazing putting on so much weight! The buds have swelled like no bussiness this week! Only been doing straight water for little over a week trying to let her know its time to finish up. Put on alot of color looks like the nodes are just so swollen that they gana pop. Of a tric shot on friday shows they are about 10 % amber on very top buds lower buds r further along. Smell is so strong like a desil lemon possibly. Still dont know where to take the smell will prolly after dry ir cure!!! Sooo

Hey! As I expected, all the plants bloomed last week (one is a little behind). In order for everyone to be at the same height, one of the plants had to be broken using the HST method, which seemed to have no consequences for growth. Two out of three plants showed a purple phenotype, I just love such changes, continue to monitor😎 Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶

Day28: sign of flowering, BB3 still small but growing. Slowly increasing water and fertilizers. This week it’s time for some early flower defoliation/lollipopping. Day30: bouncing back from defoliation.
