For the Grow section on my page: Throughout the germination stage, I explored three distinct seed germination techniques: the direct soil implantation, immersion in a hydroponic medium, and the classic paper towel method. My tests involved the Gods Gift autoflower from Premium Cultivators, Northern Lights from Royal Queen Seed Bank, and the F1 Epsilon strain, also from Royal. My primary focus, however, has been on the F1 Epsilon strain. As part of my shift towards commercial operations, I'm currently pushing the potential of these seeds to achieve maximum efficiency and productivity. I'm in the midst of identifying the optimal strains for my commercial venture. My objective, quite simply, is to strike an optimal balance between quality and yield for my future cannabis crops. With astute business planning and leveraging emerging laws, I plan to provide these products at a significantly lower price than my competitors. End of Germination Stage - Staring Vegetation Stage Day 9 - I inadvertently oversaturated my plants with nutrients, which led to the immediate demise of two plants. A key lesson learned was that utilizing old woolite medium is not advisable. Instead, using dirt plugs proves to be a more effective method. Moreover, it's crucial to ensure that nutrients are introduced directly into the water supply to avoid any potential harm to the plants. Additional Note: For enhanced root stability and quicker access to the water supply, it's important to situate the dirt plugs deeply within the pebbles. Also ensure germination process as follows: 12 hour soak, drop into soil plug deep into hydroponics pebble medium.

Day 36 Done nothing just let them grow and trimmed a few leaves Day 37 - watered them with feeding. Decreased the amount by 25% except the base nutes. Added 12ml CalMag on 4L water by request of the community. If leaves curl down more, I will consider a flush. Day 38 No feed. Color changed from the middleone overnight, I think that’s a good sign. Maybe someone can comment on that 💪🏽. For me it looks very good, I know a few leaves show signs of nutrient burn but I decreased already and no new signs appeared Day 39 No feed until tomorrow. Day 40 Fed them with very low amount of fertilizer. I aimed for a ppm of 1000 but I went a bit higher until I have osmosis water . Runoff ppm was 2000, but I have to say I am measuring ppm since this week and will fix this problem Day 42 No feed

como preventivo aplique tierra de diatomea via foliar. solo realice un apical por variedad de semilla ya que las otras aun según mi criterio les faltaba. se espera realizar la otra semana apical en las otras dos para dejar 2 sin manejo para comparar.

Week 10. Not much to say again. She grows more. Training is getting harder for me as branches are more mature and harder to bend without feeling like they may snap. I've come too far to risk breaking her now. I will do slight adjustments each day over the week to get the shape I want and fingers crossed she will take it. Feeding is still just some N and once a week some P and K along with her soil improvers. I've managed to do all my autos with out the need for Cal mag but this lady is asking for some. So will introduce some Cal mag this week. The 4 tops I took off her previous topping are all rooted and potted. So I have 4 clones of triple cheese to try and schedule into what is already an over crowded space.. ah well. Fun fun fun. Day 66 After she had her tops taken I thought she would need to rest but she pushed another 4cm of growth on about 5 of the 16 colas. The canopy height difference between highest and lowest cola was around 15 cm. I decided to put her through some more torture and now the canopy is flat(er) around 5cm difference now which I can live with as I feel I can level bits out as new growth pushes. I will try and take her shape out wider rather then higher for now but again I will see want she wants to do and hopefully we can come to an agreement 😊. She will spend the next 5 days to herself eating drinking and living the good life. Thanks for looking. Stay safe.😷 Happy grows to all👍🌱🌿🌱

As you can see, our macro lens arrived, we were able to take several photos and see the trichomes, we had never seen them so close before. We also noticed that many pistils have turned brown in the last days of this week but the trichomes are clear yet. The smell is getting stronger, reminds us of fresh fruits, mango and a little citrus. We are excited, she is healthy and smells good, but a little concerned with the development of buds and if they are within the standards for this week. Despite having many trichomes and the pistils turning brown, we are not noticing a significant fattening of the flowers (correct us if we are wrong). hahaha, noob stuff =)

There’s a few things I’d personally change if I was to grow fat Banana again. But this time round she was very resistant to high temperatures and humidity during Flower. She holds on to nitrogen so I’d definitely feed her less on the nutrients as she is a light feeder.

Hello! Another week of vegetation is behind us 💪🤪 this week I did LST and Defoliations on all plants. Unfortunately, while bending one of the plants, I broke a branch. Although it heals, I made a mistake that is worth noting. I have to be more careful when working with the plants. The photos show how the plants are bent. Due to the differences in plant sizes, I decided to extend the growing season by one week. Next week I'll be focusing on branching down and observing. I will do the next defoliation in the first weeks of flowering. Greetings to everyone !!

Last week was a short one, decided to chop them on day 80. Both plants weigh at 800g wet, hoping to get a bit over 100g dry. They could probably go for another week to get fatter, but I was feeling ready looking at the trichomes. Hope the dry slow, I can't get RH above 50% so hoping that won't be so bad.

A peg from a tent, nailed a plant laid on a shovel to the ground marking the victory of man over nature the former gum has set the next floor in a plane to the previous one. As a result, we have 4 floors practically in a single plane. I removed the first two sheets and two thirds of the leading escape of the 2nd pair, I plan in this position to release up the main trunk

Giorno 56 Ehi tu 👉 guarda questa Grape Rolex V2 di Roc Bud Inc che spettacolo. È una femmina a tutti gli effetti. Da tre anni coltivo spesso anche autofiorenti e non mi ero mai imbattuto in una pianta così. Se puoi spendi qualche euro in questa banca semi (non sto pubblicizzando nessuno ma quando qualcuno fa un lavoro eccellente va sottolineato)!!! Le 5 Crystal Candy mostrano qualche problema da assorbimento di nutrienti (sempre rotta la penna ph) e da ricircolo d'aria (sto lavorando senza immissione di aria dall'esterno) ma stiamo arrivando alla fine le cime sono dure e puzzano tutte come il giro precedente. Ci vediamo settimana prossima Buona settimana coltivatori 😊🤜🌱

Beginning of week.. Wow.. Just... Wow lol.. That's all I can say. Amazing scent.. Gorgeous colors.. Very happy and healthy girl. Besides very minor spotting on some lower leaves.. Which I am assuming was from Calcium def.. She is looking great! I'm not sure what this is all about, but damnnear all my plants have this clawing on leaves that are not exposed to the light.. Looks like wind burn.. Looks like nitrogen toxicity.. But I know for a fact that its neither.. Fans are not even really blowing on the plant itself.. And other leaves would also be clawing if it were nitrogen toxicity.. I'm assuming it's just from not enough light exposure.. But not an issue.. She is happy and loving life! At this point I am stopping silica.. Just too many conflicting articles about it not doing any good in flower.. And even causing the smoke to be harsh and the bud hard to break up.. Which does make alot of sense.. I only like to use silica in veg anyways.. And for the stretch.. It just makes more sense to me.. Mid week.. Adjustments need to be made.. The very top of each cola is getting a little bit of clawing.. I'm thinking it may be time to cut back on some Micro.. Maybe even the Floralicious Plus, since they both have so much Nitrogen in them.. She's getting plenty of CalMag, and the other trace elements in the Micro shouldn't be that much of an issue.. Still gonna use the Micro.. Just cut it down from 1mL/L to .5mL/L. Maybe the clawing is just how these plants tend to grow?? I'm not sure.. I see alot of the clawing on her small side branches.. Always have on other grows too.. But maybe I've always been giving them too much Nitrogen in bloom.. Just seems more like a 'not getting light' kinda thing.. But now that it's on the top of the colas.. I'm thinking its a Nitrogen thing.. Anyways.. Such a gorgeous plant! Gorgeous colors.. Amazing smell.. Just... WOW! Lol Next day.. Ok I'm thinking the clawing is getting a little worse.. That's after I fed her using .75mL/L of Micro and about 10 drops of Floralicious Plus.. Both containing a bit of nitrogen.. I'm going to have to completely cut out the Floralicious Plus and just .5mL/L of the Micro.. I hope that doesn't cause any different issues.. It shouldn't.. And I'm going to bump up the Kushie Kush bloom booster a little.. Still not full strength but getting closer.. I hope this doesn't affect my final yeild and/or taste! I will literally cry if the taste is fucked up at all... 😢 lol.. Nah.. As strong as it is now.. I think that would be impossible! I got my new tent in yesterday.. Haven't set it up yet tho.. Gotta get everything ready to switch over soon.. It's still a 2×2.. But instead of 48" tall it's 55" tall.. Which would be a little better for taller plants (not by much.. But still better lol).. Anyways.. No more Floralicious Plus and only about half of the Micro doses (lol) that I intended to use in the first place.. She really doesn't like Nitrogen in flower.. Which is understandable.. But I've never had a plant this sensitive to it before.. Good learning experience for sure! End of week.. So I bought a Brita filter because my tap water is pretty shitty.. 240 PPM - 260 PPM.. I've only ran about a gallon through it and its barely bring it down to 190 PPM - 200 PPM.. I mean.. I also didnt use the actual Brita filter yet.. Just the Wal-Mart brand.. It sucks obviously.. When I run the actual Brita filter in my drinking pitcher.. It can bring the tap water down to about 160 PPM!!! Compared to the Wal-Mart filter.. That is fucking incredible! I'm thinking when I run a couple more gallons thru, it will hopefully bring it down a bit more.. I don't need it to be 0 PPM.. just not 260 PPM.. That's fucking insane! Our water sucks out here.. The plants dont seem to mind very much, but after using the filtered water, instead of the nutrient water being 1150 PPM its barely 980 PPM - 1000 PPM.. NOTot a huge change.. But I think it will help. For harvest, I'll use the FloraKleen once along with distilled water.. Still got a few weeks before thinking about that.. But I always flush with my tap water and can't ever get the PPM below 400 PPM or so... Now about the plant lol... Yeah, it's gotta be nitrogen toxicity with the clawing leaves.. Again, I've went down on the Micro since it has so much nitrogen.. And also cut out the Floralicious Plus.. Sometimes I'll add a couple drops.. But it really makes me nervous lol.. I DO NOT want to hurt the yeild or taste of this girlie! But she is doing good.. Just as a test, I added a little bit of some feminized pollen to a very small nug on the bottom.. Its photoperiod pollen.. But this should create a "fast version" according to Sweet Seeds.. But she is doing good.. Smelling amazing.. Gorgeous colors!!.. Anyways... On to the next week!!!...

super happy with this pheno and so glad I put her in a larger pot, she is my second largest auto ever and im so pleased that she is doing well. If you haven't tried cbg cbd combo its a winner and I think in the future this will be extremely popular as the health benefits from the combination of the two are very special !! give it a grow and thank me later

Being Mephisto Freebies there’s not a lot of info on how these particular seeds grow. I found them low maintenance, they weren’t the thirstiest girls I’ve grown and I found quite late on they didn’t like high temperatures, caused over half of them to foxtail. That being said the trichome production was there from week 2 of flower and by the time I cut them down they were some of the greasiest plants I’ve grown to date! I left a decent amount of the sugar leaves on while trimming with the hopes it will slow the drying process by a few extra days, between 7-10 days hanging, then into jars with humidity packs to cure. It’s been a fun grow and an exciting introduction into the Mephisto brand, over the last year I’ve managed to purchase a few different strains on there Monday drops so il definitely be running some more in the future. Hope this diary has been helpful ✌️ Il upload the dry weight before I put it all into jars.

7/27 My phone ran out of storage and wouldn't let me take a video. I tried deleting several other videos bit that didn't work either. Finally I wad able to upload a few RANDOM pictures from the "website" camera. But no video. Everything looked so beautiful tjis morning too. Not watering was the right choice. I defoliated a couple septoria leaves on the reveg 10th planet that wad about to receive its third dose of Plant Doctor. The chem dog #4 and mk ultra this will be their second treatment. Seeing the positive impact of the product and finding a few septoria leaves I decided to treat every plant in the garden with plant doctor. I'm still going to do the diy Dr. Zymes but Plant Doctor had been working good and I want to suppress as much as possible. Everything looks great. I started by giving the thirstiest plants a half gallon of water. I then did a root drench of 3tsp per gallon on every plant but the 10gal. A gallon of solution was used on each plant. I really feel like this is a good mood. Previously AFTER I applied Plant Doctor the plants would have a noticeable positive effect shortly after. I'm hoping this will be the case here. I think stretch has stopped. I have one special Kush that has buds already but EVERYTHING is in early flower. I'll fix the phone and get a video up there. EDIT: WENT BACK AROUND ONE TO DO A LITTLE DEFOLIATION. EVERYTHING LOOKS REALLY GOOD TO ME. I DID DEFOLIATE A COUPLE SEPTORIA LEAVES. BUT REMOVING A LEAF OR TWO FROM A MONSTER REVEG IS NOTHING. REALISTICALLY I SHOULD BE REMOVING MORE FOR BETTER AIR FLOW. THATS SOMETHING ILL NEED TO DO. SO HAPPY THINGS ARE DOING GOOD. EVERYTHING IS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF FLOWER. NEXT FEED ILL BE USING A BLOOM NUTRIENT. NOT SURE BUT PROBABLY LIQUID KOOL BLOOM. 7/28 Didn't have much time this morning. I've got a wife with medical problems and I'm trying to redue my house before the end of the summer so I'm busy to say the least. Still no pm. Not many pests either. The rose bushes behind them have been DEMOLISHED by jpn beetles. I see no negative active reactions from treating everything with plant doctor 3tsp/gallon. The first plant I treated with it was that 10th planet and its gotten three treatments and looks great. I'll get a spot here or there once in a while but for the most part it's supressed. I have some pruning to do. Everything os in early flower but that one special kush is pretty far ahead. EDIT: SINCE IT WAS MID 80S I WENT OVER AROUND 1 TO CHECK THE GIRLS. THEY LOOKED GREAT. I DEFOLIATED A COUPLE SEPTORIA LEAVES BUT ONLY A COUPLE. I STOPPED AT A LOCAL SHOP AND SHOWED MY BUDDY A VIDEO. HE SAID TO NEVER SPRAY ANYTHING WITH LEAF SEPTORIA WITH "ANYTHING" BECAUSE OF HOW IT SPREADS. I DIDNT MENTION THE CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE THAT I'VE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH BUT HEY. HE HASNT LED ME WRONG. PLANT DOCTOR SEEMS TO BE DOING THE JOB. THAT AND DEFOLIATING ANYTHING I SEE. IVE WORKED TOO HARD TO LOSE THEM TO A DISEASE THAT MAINLY EFFECTS THE LEAVES. PLANT DOCTOR WILL KEEP IT SUPPRESSED. 7/29 Today is supposed to be really hot. In the 90's. I watered everything a gallon except the thirstier plants got 1.5 and the 10's got 1/2 gallon. I defoliated a few septoria leaves. I'm sure there will be a few more after watering. Instead of alleviating my concerns my buddy kinda got in my head with the septoria talk. Things will be fine. Everything LOOKS gorgeous. He even said, "They look really good and healthy" and "not to get complacent defoliating." The plant in the 50 seems to be worse off than the others. I'll keep an eye on it but if I got spots near the sugar leaves I might just cut that little runt. This was all preventable too. Person mowing the lawn BLEW DISEASED GRASS, SHRUBS AND BIRD SEED IN MY CAGE RIGHT AFTER TRANSPLANT. I legit had to dig out at least a dozen sunflowers or other seeds that sprouted. Realistically things will be fine. The plant I've been treating for three weeks with plant doctor looks great. So do the others. Everything looks good. I just get occasional leaves I previously would've overlooked or attributed to something else. As long as I can keep it suppressed enough through flower I'm good. Anything that isn't good enough will go towards extracts. EDIT: WENT OVER AROUND ONE. A COUPLE PLANTS IN TJE BACK THAT I WATERED FASTER WERE LIGHT SO I SPLIT A GALLON WITH THEM. THE 10TH PLANET THAT HAS GOTTEN THE FULL PLANT DOCTOR TREATMENT IS DOING AWESOME. I DID HAVE TO DEFOLIATE A HANDFUL OF LEAVES. HONESTLY I THINK IVE PROBABLY HAD THIS YEARS PRIOR AND DIDNT RECOGNIZE IT. IM PRAYING EVERYTHING WORKS OUT. IM DOING MY PART. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH. 7/30 Came over to the 10th planet plant in the front row all the way in the back was drooped all down and is yellowing up pretty good. I defoliated what I could and gave it a gallon and a half of water. I defoliated any sep leaves I could find. If that plant foesnt pick up like they normally do I may need to ditch the plant. If it continues to get yellow and look unhealthy I'd rather get rid of it than risk more damage. It was light as a feather so I assume it will be fine. I'll update as I go. Everything else looked good though. EDIT: DESPITE IMMENSE ANXIETY I GOT THAT FEELING SO I WENT AND CHECKED THEM. THE ONE I WATERED DID PICK BACK UP BUT IT HAS A LOT OF YELLOW LEAVES. THE 10TH PLANET THATS DOING GOOD WAS BONE DRY AND STARTING TO DROOP. I GAVE IT 1.5 GALLONS. THE HUGE MK ULTRA ALSO WAS STARTING TO DROP AND LIGHT AS A FEATHER. I GAVE THAT A FULL WATERING CAN WHICH IS DAMN NEAR 2 GALLONS. THE REST WILL GET WATERED TOMORROW. NO SIGN OF SEP THIS TIME. I WASNT THERE LONG BUT STILL. THE OTHER PLANTS WERE LOOKING GOOD AND ALL PRAYING TO THE SUN. TOMORROW ILL WATER AND FEED. 7/31 Came over this morning to one of my plants on the 10 drooped right over. I shouldve watered it yesterday when I did the others that were light. Coincidentally the three that needed the water were the 3 revegs. I watered what didn't get it yesterday with a gallon each. I then fed everything a powerade bottle. Started liquid kool bloom today. We shall see how that goes. I defoliated quite a few leaves. I think I may have had sep in the past on some plants and just didn't notice. Plants still look good but I keep a good eye on them. And I defoliate a lot. I've taken my buddies advice and not sprayed anything. I don't really have any pests. A pillar here or there or a "A" cricket or jpn beetle. Of there is one four eyed plant bug but I can't seem to kill it. I've almost caught it a couple times. Anyway like usual I'll keep this updated.
