7/4 SUN was poking out a little bit. Plants loved that little feeding and seen to he noticeable larger this morning. I'm considering starting the nutes. At least the organic ones as well as upping the water intake I've been scared to water with all this rain and my experience last time. I plan on applying BT this afternoon and doing some work on the bottoms of the plants. I also saw a chipmunk in my cage so I have some spots in my fence that need to be patched. I know I can't compare this year to orher years as these are seeds and all the other years were clones. I CAN say for certain that my plants are healthiest they've been out of any of my journals. Previous plants were much larger but I was fighting numerous fungal, pathogens and pests at the sane time. Ear wigs would've lollipopped most buddies by now but I've seen no sign of them. I'm going to apply more poison where they were and add some rat traps inside the cage for the chipmunks. Once I fix the cage I think I'll be good. UPDATE: Went back over and fixed the holes on my cage from high winds. I found an old wire trap or cage and just cut sections and ziptied them to the existing wire and to the structure thus covering any open holes. I'll need to put lathes aroubdvtge outside because if a rodent REALLY wanted in they could get in. My belt had been wearing thin but I use shit until it breaks (yesterday the heal came off my shoe lol) so I was working hard sweating my nuts off and my belt gives out totally. At least ive got the major stuff done. I took a few videos too. I'm imagining it was this little bit of sun that gave these plants that boost of growth but I'm wondering if the added nutes had anything to do with it. Bags weren't light and I could feel moisture in the soil so I didn't water. I'll check again tomorrow morning. Since I didn't see many plants or even leaves for that matter with damage I decided to hold off ob the BT and the plant doctor. Only time will tell if that was the right decision. 7/5 Plants look fantastic. I see a few more holes in leaves sporadically amd I'm hoping it's pillars. I've seen lots of lightning bugs on my camera though and grasshoppers are abundant. Not one growth shoot has been chewed (knock on wood) which is what the earwigs had always done. I watched a video from last year and by nowcthey had lollipopped all lower leaves. It may not be the best weather growing season wise but despite the rh consistently in the 90's I still don't have pm or fungal pathogens. Need to get the BT out. Didn't water as we've had all that rain. I'll water either tonight or tomorrow morning. Sunny high in the 90s low is 66. Tomorrow looks good too. UPDATE WENT BACK OVER AROUND FIVE. IT WAS 88 DEGREES SO I WANTED TO CHECK THE GROW BAGS. THE POTS ARE FINE. IT WAS HUMID AS HELL. ONE PLANT WAS SLIGHTLY DROOPY BUT VERY LIGHT AND DRY. I FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT SEEMED LIGHTER THAN THE REST BUT HADNT DROOPED. I MIXED TWO GALLONS OF WATER WITH 1TSP KANGOROOTS AMD PHED IT CLOSE TO 6. I FED THE 3 PLANTS THAT WERE SUPER DRY LIKE A HALF GALLON AND SPRED THE REST OVER THE OTHER EIGHT PLANTS. THEY WERENT DROOPING BUT THEY WERE VERY DRY. I PLAN ON A FULL WATER TOMORROW. I WOULDVE DONE IT TODAY IF THE TEMPS WERENT SO HIGH. ITS RAINED A MONTH STRAIGHT SO I HAVENT HAD TO WATER. I MADE A COUPLE VIDEOS BUT I'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD TOMORROW. 7/6 Another super hot day. I hefted the pots and they still had some weight but I could tell they were dry. This rain has messed up my watering schedule. Well it made it so I didn't NEED to water. These are big plants now. I need to get a schedule to stick too. They're going to probably need a gallon a piece at least. I'm still nervous watering. Right now I'm just reading the plants. I added .5tsp kelp me/you to 1 gallon of water to help with heat stress. I fed an additional two gallons to the garden this morning including the two container plants in the back. They were dry on top too but I know they have water deeper down. Next watering I'll be more consistent and try to give them there 10%. It's great having the bags elevated. I can finally see when I start getting run off. I could even measure the ph of it instead of relying on that meter. Ill check the ph when I go back over. Still a few 🐛 holes but they are few and far between. I really don't want to spray for such a small problem but if I cant find them at night that's what I'll do. UPDATE: Another 90 degree day. I went back over and gave the garden a gallon of water as they were dry and it didn't rain. Tried to use a soil ph meter to check ph. First couple were 6.4, 6.5 then I got 7.3 and I accidently dropped it. Then I got somethings that were high eights and even one 9! Obviously the Meter shit the bed. I'll lower the ph of the water slightly when I fully water tomorrow and I'm going to measure the runoff. 7/8 I must've messed up the journal again as the dates are off. GAVE PLANTS A FULL WATERING. Each girl got a gallon. I couldn't upload my videos this morning as I had to break up a fight. 3 on 1. Didn't give me a chance to put the videos up. I'll take some stills then I can upload them. I took stills and they all uploaded but didn't fucking save. I'm nit going to keep trying to upload if it's not going to. Noticed a few more holes in leaves and one skeletinized leaf so I need to either spray the bt or something more versatile. I'm putting more poison around the cage and de between the bags. I'll go check things out tonight. Sick of writing a book and uploading to just hace them disappear 7/9 Did a quick video today. Noticed the bags were fairly light despite the plants being soaked amd the pallets wet. I was pressed for time. I gave two gallons to the entire garden. I hope that will hold them over until tomorrow. I'll need to up how much water I give them. Going with a gallon and a half next time. I see more pillar spots and a moth took off when I shook the plants this morning. So I'm gonna have too apply the BT. I figure if I go over before dark tonight I might be able to see aju nocturnal insects around. Luckily my dad feeds the birds and they are always there. I think they help with pests. UPDATE IT WAS A LITTLE COOLER TODAY BUT MICH MORE HUMID. I WENT AROUND SIX TO MAKE SURE THE GIRLS WERE OK WITH WATER AND TO GIVE THEM A TREATMENT OF BT. I WENT THROUGH THE GARDEN ANDCGOUND THREE LEQVES TO DEFOLIATE AND LITERALLY A COUPLE LEAVES ON TWO PLANTS WITH PILLAR HILESM WHEN I ARRIVED TWO BIRDS FLEW OUT. A HORNET CAME IN WHILE I WAS THERE. THIS DO LESS APPROACH SEEMS TO BE REALLY WORKING. I DODNT SEE NEARLT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO WARRANT SPRAY8NG MY EXTREMELY HEALTHY GIROS WITH ANYTHING. ILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM AND CLEAN THEM UP A BIT. I DO NEED TO INSTALL THE VERY8CAL TRELLIS FOR SUPPORT. THEYRE PRETTY HEALTHY THOUGH. ONE PLANT IS ABOUT AS WIDE AS IT IS TALL. STILL......PLANTS ARE EXPLODING AND ITS GETTING TIGHT IN THERE. I NEED TO GET THE TRELLIS UP THOUGH. 7/10 I went over and was planning to water. Plants were wet and it's raining. Top of the medium was moist but the bags were light. ONE bag was super light but seeing that we are having showers all day and an additional half inch of rain coming tonight so I didn't water them. Especially since they looked great. Decided to to spray BT yet as the damage is so small and i think the birds have been taking care of the pillars for me. Now I'm wondering if I should've gave that ONE plant a little bit of water but it will be find. Did a video. I'm being careful not to over water. Last year this is when all my buddies were devoured by earwigs. And no senescence like the years before. I think it was hust those earwigs. I haven't lost shot for leaves. Even the stalks are bright green and look amazing.

Bubble og I still have 4 of these guys going. A few of them are still dark green and pretty decent growers they have thiner leaves. I'm sure a few of these will be on the chopping block later down a few of them just have crappy start growth and they need the humidity at 75% or above 100% the time with the light lower than normal or they start to shrivel up. That's not all of them just a couple. Also I am only going to flower 8 plants out if the 12 seedling and I have 5 strains going so can't have half my plants bubble og (wish I had room to grow the full 12 plants at a time) It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

The plants seem pretty strong and resilient, have a interesting smell. The buds are very different from a plant to another in shape and trycome production. I had to cut them early because of the high heat, but the majority of the trycomes were milky.

Huge signs of progress this week! The smell has come in strong as well as the nice fat crystal flowers starting to plump up, Definitely a tall growing strain but all signs are pointing towards the yield being of a good quality! Have ordered a USB loupe that will be arriving tomorrow as the current is too hard for photos!

HAZIRLIK Dolabı yapmak bir aydan fazla ileri sürdü; aydınlatma, havalandırması, iç kaplaması, montajı, elektrik kabloları, fişleri, soketleri, prizleri vb. Tüm bunların ardından, sonunda bitirmem ve kotiledonların görünenlerin görünmediğini gördüm. Burada yaşadığım mücadeleyi okuduğunuzda, heyecanımı ve mutluluğumu paylaştığınızı düşünüyorum… =) //LED'LER// Torch LED'leri kullanıyorum ve bu LED'ler fiziksel olarak oldukça büyük olduğu için, dolapta ciddi miktarda dikey alan kaplıyorlar. Toplam 70 cm'lik aralıklardan 50 cm'ye düşüyorlardı ve toprak birleştirmeyle yaklaşık 40 cm'ye düştü, bu da başlangıç ​​büyümesi için neredeyse hiç yer bırakmadı. Bunu çözmek için Torch LED'lerini plastik yuvalarından çıkardım ve bunları ayrı ayrı boyutlandırılmış ahşap plakaya düz bir şekilde monte ettim. Bunu yaparak yaklaşık 15 cm'lik alandan tasarruf sağladınız. Ancak dolap yapısı ve Torch LED'lerinin kendisi nedeniyle ciddi ısınma sorunlarının belirtileri. //KABİN// LED'leri açtığımda, 26,5°C'lik iç havayı alıp 37–38°C'de dışarıya atıyorlardı. Her lamba bana yaklaşık +4°C'lik bir ısı artışı sağlıyordu. Durum böyle dönemde fan kapsamını artırdım; bu sıcaklıkta yardımcı oldu, ancak daha sonra içerideki nem 35–30'a, hatta %25'e düştü. Ne yeteneğimi düşünürken, 12V çift taraflı bir Peltier modül kullanmayı planladım: soğuklukta bakır borular sararak bunu fan destekli bir sıcaklığa dönüştürdüm. Aslında işe yarayabilirdi, ancak sıcak ortamdan ısıyı uzaklaştırmak için ihtiyacım olan sistem çok hantal hale geldi. O yerde, "Büyüme hayali bitti" dedim ve vazgeçtim. Birkaç gün sonra "Neden olmasın?" diye düşündüm ve dolabı balkona taşımaya karar verdim. Sonuçta, gizliydi - kimse içinde ne olduğunu bilmeyecekti - ve balkon uydu yoluyla mükemmeldi. Dolap balkonunda olacağından, iç kısım ısıdan, yağmurdan, bölgelerden ve diğer zararlılardan tamamen yalıtılması gerekiyordu. Tüm delikleri ve ortamları sıcak silikonla kapatırım. Daha sonra ısıl işlem köpüğü yerleştirdim ve her şeyi bölme filmle kapladım. Tüm bunları yaparken termostat, ısıtıcı, nemlendirme ve vantilatör için hiçbir şey görünmemesi için tüm kablo bağlantılarını da gizledim. LED aydınlatma için tek tek veya hepsi birlikte kontrol edilebilen ayrı lamba yuvaları ekledim. Ayrıca dolap kapağı açıldığında tüm ana LED'lerin otomatik olarak söndüğü ve yalnızca küçük bir 5W LED'in açık kaldığı bir sistemim oluştu. Vantilatörü dolabın sağ üst arka köşesine monte ederek egzozu diğer noktalara yönlendirdim. Vantilatörün gücünde, negatif basınç o kadar güçlüydü ki hava yalnızca girişten katılıyordu - başka hiçbir yerde 0,001 m³ bile hava kaçağı yoktu. (Bunu hava verileri için değil, zararlıları uzak tutmak için yaptım.) //SICAKLIK VE NEM// Dolabı balkona taşındıktan sonra bu sefer ciddi bir soğukluk sorunuyla karşılaştım. Geceleri sıcaklık 8-9°C'ye düşüyor, gündüzleri ise 24-27°C'ye kadar çıkıyor. Elektrikli fanlı ısıtıcılar kullanmak istemedim çünkü havayı çok kurutuyorlar ve tehlikeliler. Peltier fikrinden ilham alarak tekrar düşünürken çözümümü bir PTC ısıtıcı kullanarak buldum. Hava bağlantıları olan iki alüminyum bloktan oluşan bir PTC ısıtma elemanı yerleştirdim ve gelen tüm havayı bu kanallardan mülkler. Sistemi 24,5°C'de açılıp 24,6°C'de kapanacak şekilde ayarladım. Bu şekilde sıcaklık sadece 1,5° tolerans içinde -24,5 ile 26,5°C arasında dalgalandı ve LED sayıları azaldıkça daha stabil hale geldi. PTC'yi termostata bağlayarak ısıtma sistemini tamamladım. Gündüz sıcaklık sorunlarının çözülmesi için, elektrikler 11:45'te kapanıp 17:45'te tekrar açılacak şekilde programladım; böylece 6 saatlik bir kesinti süresini elde ettim. Bu süre boyunca kabin yaklaşık 24°C'lik dış havayı çekiyor, maksimum 27°C'ye ulaşıyor ve ardından tekrar soğumaya başlıyor; tam da bu noktada PTC devreye giriyor. Böylece daha önceki büyük yangının sorunu tamamen çözülmüş olmuştu. Ayrıca nemlendirmeyi termostata bağlayıp %70'e ayarlayarak nem sorunu da çözülürm. Tüm bu süreci 1,5 ayımı aldı ama değdi. 1-2-3. güne kadar tek led 3. günde 10. güne kadar 3 ledide açtım ama bitkide büyüme problemi olduğunu gördüğüm için ışıkları söndürüp tek ışık 40cmden devam ettim.

Hi Growmies, My apologies for the delayed update, but work life balance got a bit out of wack recently. Anyways, water was changed on time and general maintenance took place. Continued with very light defoliation to really guarantee that all the shoots get equal light exposure. She is turning out to be a real beauty and literally no Scr.O.G was necessary due to her natural structure. Buds are already forming very compact and dense to touch, something that’s always a good sign ;) Since this is my first proper DWC grow I am actually quite impressed by the root growth and the resulting nutrient uptake, as well as vigor in plant growth. Is it btw just me or is this website getting slower, buggier and laggier by the day? Videos won’t upload, weeks don’t reflect, diaries won’t update….

Que pasa familia, puesto que la compañera y yo estamos bajo mínimos, hemos decidido proceder a un lavado de raíces temprano, y un estrés hídrico para limpiar raíces y estresarla un poco. Todo va sobre ruedas , puesto que el Covid afecta al confinamiento, decidimos cortar las gorillas estos días siguientes para secar y en nada tener algún bote para subsistir 😂🤣. -El estrés hídrico es reducir cada riego la cantidad de agua, para que la planta se estrese y escupa tricomas sus últimos días. Esta variedad de sweet seeds es INCREÍBLE, aun cortándola pronto me parece que los resultados son inmejorables, su olor a melón me encanta y se ve repleta de thc. Nos vemos en la cosecha fumetillas, y mucho ánimo para todos.

Week 8 (May 24th - 30th) This week the roots began getting larger. This was also the week I began to really use eggshells and coffee grounds. I saw more bugs come out of the dirt (sometimes just happens) and I noticed the wood I burn as well as grounds, the more I use the better and stronger. I also know that coffee grounds and eggshells contain certain nutrients that are necessary in plant health and growth / life. The roots were starting to come out of the bottom of the pot-hole. I started looking for larger containers.

The snow is really coming down out there. Big fat flakes are piling up on the ground, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. I guess that means no outdoor plans for today. Might be the perfect day to get cozy inside with a warm drink and a good book The pound cake auto plant is growing like crazy! I'm so happy to see all the progress we've made. Yesterday, I finally got around to tying it down – it's amazing how much more stable it feels now. I can't wait to see what this plant looks like in a few more weeks.

Without really knowing i think its starting to look pretty good, few mistakes with the way the stem is bent.
