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.

Defoliated at day 8 and it’s grown so fast it looks like I have not done it. I will do another round of defoliation on day 21. Happy with the canopy and hoping they do not stretch much more lol.

Esta semana he regado solo con oro negro 2ml x litro de agua y organic power 1ml x litro de agua el resto de la semana solo con agua, he medido las ppm y en el drenaje me ha dado 1040. Me preocupa un poco el color de los tallos de las hojas que están de color morado, pero solo a las de maceta, a la que esta en tierra la veo bien, es mas le he sacado las ramas bajas para que no gaste energía en criar esos coquitos que salen pequeños.

Questa settimana ho deciso di cambiare lampada tornando ad usare una vecchia hps che usavo prima, e ho notato che i risultati sono ottimi, con la lampada a LED sembrava che la fioritura stesse durando un'eternità, perciò ho provato a cambiare per vedere se la fioritura potesse velocizzarsi e sembra essere così. AGGIORNAMENTO: Giorno 8 NOVEMBRE, ho dato una bella sfoltita a tutte le bimbe, credo che questa sia l'ultima volta che le tocco anche perché questa volta ho eliminato alcuni rami veramente inutili e superflui.

Start of week 6. Week 5 went really well, this Do-si-dos is packing on bud weight, size, density and she is insanely sticky! Just lightly touching her, is like touching sticky pads or glue, just crazy!!

end week 8. ------------ this week only water from all Gorillas the buds look very sticky and frosty. when I open the tent, it smells very strong. The 1 and 2 smelled pretty strong, chemically, the 3. more like citrus. I will harvest Gorilla 1 20.10. Gorilla 2 22.10 Gorilla 3 23.10 I made videos and pictures of the trichomes.

Wish I could have vegged the clones another couple of weeks but the Zkitzo was just growing to fast. In hindsight shouldn’t have put a plant from seed in with the clones. Seeds always grow like mad in NFT and clones are more manageable as they don’t have a tap root. Still got some absolutely beautiful looking and smelling bud from the Zkitzo so can’t really regret it. The Gelatos are rock solid right through and look absolutely beautiful. Used rainwater right the way through on this so should smoke nice to. Better pictures as it dries.

Aug 24: starting the fifth week of flowering. This plant was started late so it didn’t get as much veg time, but it is flowering nicely and is doing quite well. Updated diary to list this as Overdose Fast which seems more likely than Auto Overdose. Likely just mis-packaged, and also based upon other growers comments about their autos not autoflowering. Aug 26: she’s doing well and buds are forming. Watered with potassium silicate this evening.

A bit more mild LST yesterday just to space the tops out a bit more. I've defoliated a lot of the inner leaves and I'm continuing to foliar feed on top of my regular feed the Flower Karma Induction by Madame Grow at a strength of 0.7g per Litre. I'm foliar feeding this once every 2 - 3 days an hour before lights on or straight away after lights off (depending if I'm awake early enough haha). Moved the girl onto her first flower nutes now and the Jamaican bloom P28-K25 will be her staple until she starts to swell and I switch her to Bazooka Bloom K30. She's definitely in the swing of her flower stretch as she's grown between 1 -2 inches over the last week.

Branches are completely full of buds, some are probably featherweight but I didn't really got the chance to do any mainlining on this one because of how weird she grew

6/19 Knowing it was going to be over 100° for the majority of the day I WATERED the garden with 3 1/2 gallons. I went to check around 4 and everything looked amazing. We got some hard rain from a thunderstorm at 4pm but it seems like these girls like it rough and did fine. The take a beating and come back stronger. Knock on wood but I haven't seen any problems on the plant I snapped amd dict taped.. Everything seems to have toughened up and the leaves are an awesome healthy color. They grow observable every day now. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 100 again for most of the day before weather goes back to semi normal. I took a video but it will take way to long to upload. Tons of other pics didn't upload either. 6/20 Another day that's going to be over 100°. Plants seem to love it lol. I can't believe what I'm seeing. Bags still had some heft so I didn't water this morning. I figure I'll check them around noon and then plan on watering tonight if they need it. Hopfully they'll get some rain from thunderstorms. This crop has been through a lot. I think that has helped them significant deal with this unpredictable weather. 6/21 We had a MAJOR thunderstorm with sheet rain yesterday. I missed it but it was intense. I saw some videos. First time dad seemed concerned. Fortunately there was no damage. I was going to water today but I decided to hold off due to the look of the plants and the "praying leaves" at 4pm and feeling some moisture in the soil. Bags seemed to still have some heft. I'll probably water tomorrow. Need to transplant the 1 gals and need to figure out what I want to do for nutes this year. So far I've put in much less effort and I'm still doing great. I just don't have as many plants as usual. 6/22 Rained last night. Not much but the bags were heavy still so I held off watering. Plants looked happy and I can fix under watering much easier. It will rain tomorrow. I'll check throughout the day and update but things are going good. I should transplant those 3 seedlings in 1 gals. 6/23 It Rained last night and is suppised to rain today. It was raining when i went over. Just the kind if rain the plants love. I'll check again before church but I'm eventually going to have to water them. Those thunder storms helped a lot. 6/24 Rained about an inch yesterday. Plants loved it. Bigger everytime I see them. One seedling showed a pistol and I'll transplant it with the rest. It was the only one I was worried about. I've seen a FEW leaf hopper punctures and some other bites that could be anything. Time to get the ipm 6/25 Looks like its gonna be a nice sunny day. 75° at 10am. Plants are doing amazing and growing at a rapid pace. Haven't done anything ipm as of yet but any damage I've seen is localized to "A" leaf on "A" plant. I'll be paying attention and watching for signs of deficiencies. As of now though they LOOK great. I'll try to transplant the 3 seedlings today.

Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Be sure to drop a like so I know you viewed and I'll pop onto see what you got a going, or not, it's up to you. This lady will be ran on a mix of 3 different nutrient brands. I germinated her in La Calavera/Voodoo juice, atlas and La Sirena from Terra Power. Y I called La Calavera voodoo juice you probably wondering. Well here's a little bit of info. So terra power is new, but they are far from new to the understanding of what makes great nutrients, these ppl are the ones who actually make their own nutrients they don't get specialists to do it. For example. Terra Power are the ones who hold the pattens and make some of ANs best products that made them who they are today. They've taken most of ANs line up and perfected it with modern day research with autos/ruderails and leds in mind. They haven't changed 3 core nutes which we all know as Voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha, yup u read it. These guys are the makers (patten holders) of all that top widely used award winning nutrients. Even if you look at there base nutes what's in them, will blow u away. Have a look for yourself. Led-grower.eu/terra-power/ you'll see a chart with AN product names and an = sign beside it and the corresponding terra power nute that they have perfected upon will be beside it. Also for 70e a L Piranha they charge 50e a L for the exact same stuff just a dif name. There base nutes start as little as 8e. The Piranha and tarantula will be the most expensive as they are the same on AN just not as expensive as 70e. Very excited to see what there 50 billion microbes per 1ml enzyme will do aswel as the bud/resin foiler enhancer sprays, or you can use them in the substrate or hydroponics. Was surprised that the PH was perfect for these 3 nutes it came in at 6 exactly with my new milwalkee meters I can 100% trust the readings. PPM was 627 idk which one did it, as Voodoo juice has no EC value. I was so use to AN products I only remembered to PH/EC test the spray bottle after I did the 4 plants I used all them 3 just for seedlings. Thankfully the PH was perfect and these weren't even their PH perfect nutes which they have not only in their base nutes but they also have a stable PH buffer for hydroponics as PH can jump mad in pure water as the water goes down the stuff that was in the nutes is left behind and causes your PH to rise as it's taking away the ratio of water it was mixed with and in turn increasing the ratio of PH from the nutrients into the water. With mystic green that will be a thing of the past. It's like a ph - + but it'll hold a stable PH when you dry your roots in 15l and say if it drinks 5L that normally means your PH will rise around by a 1/3 or just rise unless you use a - + buffer. Whereas you find your desired PH and then add the stabilizer and it'll keep the PH in that level. Well that's my understanding of it. Read up about them if you are thinking of buying AN look at these as these ppl made AN what it is today. They should work together like a dream as I'm sure their formulas are close just terra powers were made in the past year not 5-10 years ago. I've been dying to try the jungle juice so will be using just them from AN and the rest will be Terra Power Nutrients. (OK, THATS ENOUGH ABOUT NUTRIENTS) The plant herself is a new strain and hasn't been widely grown yet. So, there's not a big base line to go by and see how far she can be pushed. FB though, is a hardy breeder and gives little in the way of Hermies and so on. I don't have to worry about room or height this time so I'm going to go heavy with LST and train these girls out. I'll top most of them but 1 or 2 I'm going to let it grow natural. Just a bit of LST. Gonna be hands off on this 1 For the first few wks and focus on improving my LST and other skills on my other 13 plants. Will be good to see what the jungle juice trio can do on its own, see what the happens. Expecting big things and yields from these grows. 30/4/22 Veg started. 38hrs in and she's up and going strong. (Update 5hrs after this update plant 2 has popped) Glad I turned the light on last night. For the 1st day the light will go on for 7/7 making sure to give these lil guys a rest is important and as they are autos it won't hurt in the slightest. Something I'm trying out. As if the fems pop up though I'll be then starting the lights on a 20/4, regardless of where all the other autos are at. It's important to get that light cycle in the plant straight away but for autos. A lil rest at the beginning will go a long way. Just until they are showing lil fan leafs or you can wait until they show them and then turn your light on. Decided to start these 2 on a few nutrients early. I've used Mystical Green, Artios Touch and fire yields all from Terra Power. None of these nutrients have any EC change to the solution. Mystical Green does many things but it's main purpose is to facilitate and stabilize PH allowing other nutrients to continue working in a constant set PH, as PH tends to change when added to soil or if in hydroponics when the water level goes down the PH buffers or ph from each nutrient is left behind and can cause an imbalance in your mix. I use .2 of the trio of jungle juice which changed 100 PPM to 350 or .7EC , very potent stuff. I really can't see using 4ml of each of these nutrients as the EC would be off the chart. Maybe it even out the more you add, idk, very small amount makes a massive EC change. Gave 100ml of 6 new nutrients on top of the low PPM feed they got when planted. I'll feed again in a few days. Maybe 4 and give water in 2 days. 1/5/22 Growing well plant 1 2-3x as bigger than Yday. Plant 2 4x bigger than Yday both will stay on the sane strength nutrients for the rest of the week. 2/5/22 100ml both plants. Tip dried both tops to stop any fert burn/water droplet burn. Same strength from day 1, same 1l mix holding same PH/EC. Very stable. 3/5/22 Plant 2 looking a little pale. Will up EC to 1.5/750ppm. Will upload pic after comes out of dark rest. Added 2ml biobizz calmag to my new mix will apply this week. Made 1L 400Ppm mix and split into 81L bottles. So it is only about 50ppm if even that. 4/5/22 Both plants are showing light cal mag def. Bit hard to see but it's there. I don't think my jungle juice is high enough. I've added cal mag and will stay the course for the rest of the week and then I'll go her EC to 1.8-2. All plants are close to spliting and breaking off making a new node maybe 2 days off. Or less. 5_5_22 Split has happened on mist of them. Growing strong. Their faces are 6&7.5 cm long and in height 6.5&7.2cm PPF of canopy is around 450-480. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly. Same Day. Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% And it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much and then they'll go into 6hrs of 21c, back to negative pressure environment. Should bring the temps down from 30+ to low 20s within a min, so I'm hoping to bring out the terpness. Will go into details about Co2 and how to create it in a grow tent without spending 4-500euro. You will need a dehuimifier though and 2 20$ Co2 bags. And an reasonable air tight tent. Thanks for reading this week, this is the last update for this week. gottagrowsometime
