A good first week from all the girls overall. They continue to develop as planned. They got watered with the spray bottle until Friday when they got a real watering. This girl is doing well. Right on track for any plant. Dimmed to 40% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Saturday the seeds popped up and we are underway. Spraying the top of the soil with the water bottle to keep the topsoil moist. Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

We’ve reached the eighth week, and the plants continue to tell their stories. Two of them have revealed themselves as males, fulfilling their role in genetics, while the others keep growing vigorously. The dynamics of the garden change, but the journey remains steady and promising. During flowering, I stick to my consistent approach: I don’t change how I provide water and biofertilizers. I believe regularity is the key to a healthy and balanced transition. Additionally, I’m not a fan of heavy defoliation; I prefer to respect the plants’ natural rhythm, removing only the leaves that fall off easily, as if the plants themselves are telling me they no longer need them. Observing each stage of this cycle is an exercise in patience and learning. Each plant has its own personality, and watching them is like uncovering a secret only nature can reveal. I can’t wait to see how the garden will bloom in the coming weeks!

D60. I'm back again after being out of town for six days. Not much has changed, to be honest. The flowers have fattened up a bit, and I see the first signs of senescence. ------------------------------ D63. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well. The Gorilla girl will soon be alone in the tent as the Purplematic will get chopped in a day or two. I will also change the lights, moving the Kingbrite light into the photo tent, and I'll put my trusted Viparspectra P600 in this tent instead. That will save quite a bit of energy, which is good considering the insane electricity prices we're having right now. ------------------------------

We are going to be slowing down on the watering and the nutrients for CH#1 through the next couple weeks Im seeing signs of stuff I dont like so Im correcting it now before it gets outta hand . Other then that she's growing well pushing for her third node . Won't be long now till she explodes in growth !! We are dialing the nutrients back to 1/4 strength and I wont be watering as often till we back on track . Im alternating between feedings so that I dont overload the medium . I'd like to thank everyone who stops by the diaries ! A special thank you goes out to my followers that stop in daily and weekly for the updates you guys rule ! 😁 -Happy Growing!

"Chugging" along this week. Weather is hot, girls are loving the all time drip system. Forgot that my nutes and hot sun dont mix well and created a bad case of algae. Will monitor more often and maybe increase the drip flow

The calyxes are blowing up on the pheno 1, great purple shades on the leafs and sugar leafs. The trichomes on the leafs showing a few amber heads, important to check the trichomes on the bud. In mine case mostly cloudy at the moment. Pheno 2 is creating more trichomes. It seen that the buds are getting more frostier and giving them the last boost by foxtailing a bit. Not because of the heat or the light, but getting to the end of their life.

Di due semi germinati uno non ha germinato. Una settimana dopo ho fatto germinare il terzo con una maggiore percentuale di start. Ma purtroppo sta crescendo rachitica con foglie prima macchiate di marrone ai bordi e successivo ingiallimento. Ho integrato con silicio della Mills. Ho integrato con Mills A per aumentare la disponibilità di azoto e migliorare la fotosintesi. Attualmente la soluzione ha 6,2 di pH e 0.90 m/am di ec. È gradito ogni commento.

Topped on D27. Moved into a DIY spaceblanket/cardboard growbox for better climate and light. Got an easy +1.5°C and +5%rh on average through this simple build. No fans, box always open on one side. The box also sits on top of a 40cm subwoofer that runs the bassiest stoner rock 👽 and and even fuzzier doom metal 😈 for an average of 4hours a day to please my ears 😑 and vibrate those roots 😵 Also did a lot of testing with an Apera pH60 this week and put a lot of the nutrients+tapwater+citric acid solution into the reservoir and a bit on the soil. Also I now know how much citric acid I need to bring the pH of my tapwater to 6.5, more than I previously used as my tapwater starts out at 7.5

I’m pretty sure the leaf issues I’ve been having is from the bonide neem follair spraying. Have not sprayed anymore. No longer having pest issues. Removed the gelato runt as it was not growing at a good rate. Using the space to take clones for keepers I might have.

June 22: nice weather has finally arrived, and the plant is at the perfect growth stage to take advantage of warm 17 hours of sunlight days. She’s started into the “inch per day” vegetative growth stage which is always fun. She had compost tea yesterday morning and is looking really good right now. Cool spring has likely slowed growth but she’s ready to rock now with the arrival of nice weather. June 22: tied down with SCROG net attached to bag with large clips. Trying to keep the Eight growth tips at the same elevation and exposed to sun. June 24: tie down seems to have worked as there’s now 8 nice colas forming and lots of time to go for 16 before starting flowering in mid-July. June 25: looking good. Watered with some soluble seaweed extract and molasses. June 26: final round of topping to get 16 growth tips. Removed and replaced scrog net but still clipped to edge of bag. Seems fine for now and will readjust as the 16 colas form.

This plant literally outgrew a 4 by 4 at 87 inches tall I had the light at the top and quickly realized I had to toss her in the greenhouse about halfway through her life. Super happy with the size of it 43 inches tall exactly. Not sure if shes gonna stretch more but lmao the biggest auto I've ever grow. Mad respect to ILGM genetics right now. Check back next week to see how much her buds swell! Remember it's always 4:20 somewhere once an hour every hour!!!!!!

Got hydro halos setup because I need to be able to go away for work for a few nights, Was actually really easy to setup and works awesome, I got most the parts plus all my nutes from my local hydro store. I'm using cocoforcannabis.com as a guide for most of this grow and his site includes details on how to setup an auto watering system. At this point I'm still using Professors Go Green for cal-mag and following the GP3 feed chart to mix nutes to the right ratio and then diluting with cal-mag water to target EC (300-400EC for wk 1). Some of the plants had clawing leaves and were really dark green - I read that this could be caused by nitrogen toxicity and I'm concerned this may be due to the Go Green as it seems to be intended as more of a deficiency fix rather than a regular use cal-mag supplement for coco. Some of the leaves on one of the plants started getting rust spots like calcium deficiency, Canna Coco comes pre-buffered and I was adding Go Green so it had plenty, I think the likely case is that nitrogen toxicity may be blocking calcium intake also. I intend to change to Green Planets Pro-Cal which has low nitrogen and is made to work with their line of nutes. Also we named the girls! My roommate and I were pretty baked if you can't tell...

Popped 20 seeds and all seemed to be fine. I encountered a problem with one of the pink kush seeds. It seems to be sprouting with a very small root and it released itself from its seed shell in the paper towel. It died I have tasted all the strains except the G 13 Haze. So i hope to get 1 or 2 good plants. Especially from the Pink kush and orange sherbert. 10x Pink Kush, 5x Orange Sherbert, 2x Cookies Kush, 2x G13 Haze and 1x Utopia Haze. Growing in biobizz Coco mix. Using a soil nutrient for the first week or two

So diese Woche kam das umtopfen der ursprünglichen Balkonpflanze #1 in living soil...morgen ab Sonntag wird geflippt auf 12h...schon ganz aufgeregt...meine erste Photo...hab Befürchtung das der Platz im 150x150cm Zelt nicht reichen wird. Von der ursprünglichen Balkonpflanze #2...die ausgewildert wurde (guerilla) hab ich noch keine aktuellen Bilder...aber kommen noch...in der Woche 9 gibts welche...nicht groß...aber sensationele Farbe und Glanz
