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 71 - Starting week 11 and this is most likely her last week, she might only make it till this weekend. She’s definitely plumped up and I haven’t seen a single clear trich anywhere, she’s about 90-10 milky to amber so I’d like her to get to about 25% amber before chopping. Gave her the last drink of water tonight and just letting her dry up from now until chop day. Day 73 - Just waiting another day or two for her to finish drying up and then she’ll get the chop. Leaves are really faded now and it’s making her flower colors pop. Pictures really don’t do any justice. Day 74 - Looks like I’m gonna give this girl another day or two before chopping, she doesn’t quite have the amber trichs I’m looking for yet.

Well damn thats a big bush lol. The one next to it looks so tiny but is at par with were my plants usually are at this stage with the type of training I've done lol. If it wasn't for its mass I'd probably still go one more week but because of king Kong over there I'm switching to 12/12 tomorrow lol. Today is the last day of veg and the first day of flower is to come. If it goes a full 8 to 9 weeks I'll be looking at a March harvest. If that's the case I might be able to squeeze in a quick auto flower grow before the family summer vacation lol. The temperature has been getting warmer outside and the night time temperature hasn't been to bad. The humidity has been stay around 50% all week and thats were id like to keep it but we're expecting a lot of rain over the next few weeks so we'll see how well that works. I picked up 2 more temperature hydrometer meters with probes for the room. And with all the fans the air movement in the room has been great. Humidity and temperature is the same in every corner of the 8x9 room. I switched the lights from 24/0 to 18/6 this last week to get them ready for the approaching 12/12 light schedule. And because that is tomorrow I lowered the lights down so that tomorrow I just have to turn the lights up. I also emptied my tank and refilled it with the nutrients for flower so that the treys can empty a bit before I add all the new nutrients. I filled all the trays before I turned it all off so they would have enough for the night. Well that's all for now, happy growing and happy new years!!! Keep it growing!!!

Semana 10 - desde 27/12 hasta 03/01 *Luna Nueva el 02/01* 27/12: hoy realicé aplicación foliar Jabón Potásico. 1L con dos tapitas de producto. 28/12: hoy aplique Top Barrier. 10L de agua con 5ml de producto. Encontré muchas chinches chicas, se nota que salieron del huevo hace poco tiempo, máximo 2 o 3 días. Según me dijo un amigo Top Barrier ayuda mucho al transporte de nutrientes dentro de la planta… veremos que sucede ya que el 30/12 debo fertilizar fuerte con Top Veg y Green Explosión. 30/12: hoy tocó fertilizar con Top Veg y Green Explosión. 2ml+1ml x 1L de agua. En total apliqué 17lts de agua con producto y 5 litros de agua sin producto. El fertilizante lo apliqué con un riego por goteo improvisado; leí en internet que con la manguera para suero hospitalario se puede improvisar algo útil. No hay rastros de plagas por el momento. También ajusté los hilos de varias ramas. Ya que es mi primera vez cultivando una planta en suelo, me surgen dudas, hasta cuando debo seguir atándola? Es conveniente cortar en esta luna nueva los brotes internos mas cercanos al tallo? 01/01/22: hoy es la noche previa a la luna nueva. A las 18.30hs regué sólo con agua, directo desde el grifo. Regué el suelo y las hojas. Increíble lo vigorosa que se la veía después del riego.

Good evening and welcome to the second entry in this diary. So that we already have to work with high temperatures, I carefully ordered the leave coat from Biobizz but it is still not there!Just like the rest of the order. I gave the plant 350ml Enchancer from Greenhouse. This is a new product for me. Which I will definitely include in my range. The room climate is 40% -50% humidity humidity from 25 to 28c during the day and 21-23c at night.I once read that frozen 2L bottles can help get a few degree down, and I think about trying it. We are still waiting for the 3 noiden of the plant and then we start training. The low stress training will be my choice Thanks for your time the fox✊🦊❤️

First week of flowering. There’s too much vegetation I might prune the branches that don’t produce flowers. The pistils have appeared, so I guess the buds will start developing soon.

Day 35 Noticed true flowers on 3 of 4 plants. Turned lights up to 100%. 5 or 6 large leaves removed from each during past week. Increased nutes for two feedings during this past week. Photos and video from day 36. Noticed brown spots and tip burn Day 38 on some leaves mid plant on BB2 and GG2. I'm guessing start of Potassium lock out because of too much Cal mag. Flushed all 4 with one gallon each of 6.5 ph water on Day 38 and removed all LST. By Day 40 all new growth was healthy and all were growing quickly. Defoliated BB2 of 8 large fan leaves and a few on the others.

It's a nice change of pace to have these warmer temperatures, even if it's not quite spring yet. Low 40s during the day is a lot more comfortable than what we've been dealing with lately. Hopefully, this is a sign that spring's around the corner. My Blackberry Moon Rocks are growing like crazy! Most of the leaves are a nice, deep green, but I noticed a few on one plant were a little yellow. I did some research and it sounds like they need some extra nutrients, so I'll be adding those in on the next watering. I can't wait to see how much bigger and bushier these beauties get.

UPDATE AFTER A LONG TIME, i'll post more often. I only recovered a few videos from last couple years to share. Mango is dense, but doesn't give out much trichome as I expected. So, I took a risk and poke a hole in the stem to gave a lot of stress to the plant, so the plant gave out a lot of trichomes and the bud becomes a bit bigger.

Strain: Lemon AK Breeder: Fastbuds Started from Seed Feminized Autoflower Seed Count: 5 Week 3 11/10/2018 - 11/16/2018 Nutrients are now at 100% strength and plants are all growing nicely and showing good color. Plant #2 had a curving stem issue so I've added a small bamboo stake to straighten her out. After 3 days it seems to be working. Also, I brought the light down to 24” now that the seedlings are well established and used to the spectrum. Speaking of stems … the Fastbuds description mentioned weakness in the first few weeks and the need for support. I've had 2 6” fans creating “windy” conditions since the seeds were planted and I've added some silica to the nutrients to strengthen the plant structure. So far it seems to be working because all of the plants (even the one with "scoliosis") seems to have good support and thickness in the stems. The plants have doubled in size this week and now range from 4” - 7”.

Oh boy, what a week have they got Sick PH was very high. Didn’t know what to do so the last week and a half. I’ve been flushing them bringing the pH down little by little trying to go gentle eventually the last flash show PH at 6.8. Which is OK anything between six and seven is considered optimal range for cannabis plant.
