Welcome to my Slurircane Diary sponsored by MSNL & Spider-Farmer
Week 7, early flip and attempt at reveg into early week 8 but decided I liked the look of her cola potential and decided to throw her into flowering. From the reveg attempt I thought a ratio on/off would be best if it leaned more on the off, so a 13-11 off / on was set for early week 8 and till fattening (when the stretch is over, 'pre flower)
This is a bit of a weird one for me, well more a 1st. I'm not 100% sure. But I do remember this getting 3 13.5hr days as did my whole tent. As my cheap timer ran for an extra hrs off when it was meant to be on. So, put it into a flip. And I tried for over a week to reveg, I'm sure if I pushed on. I would of gotten to reveg. (I'm not sure how long it takes, am very pleased though with this spectrum even without the IR that the flip time is quick. So, after a week 7 was finished. I decided to push on to a 13-11 off/on to induce her. I'll increase it to 13-11 on/off in fattening. Sadly has the pre flip and then attempt at reveg make all her nodes very stiff. And near to LST. After pre flower I'll hard defol and attemp to distance the colas. Surprisingly with her been a dom indica her leafs are very Stavia style. Very thin. Would make an ideal candidate for scrog. She is very healthy and been the most responsive with co2/heat. Although growth was stalled from my reveg attempt, I'm sure i cut a good few CM from her Height by reversing it again. I should of looked up how long it takes to reveg 1st. Lessons learnt. I still have an amazing pheno. (I'm a few weeks ahead in Real Time)
Defoliation
So, this was done lots on this girl. As my plans for her were changed due to poor attention. So, start of wk 7, what I thought was still a few weeks out from me flipping. But, after my abandoned attempt of reveggin. She was in limbo and I decided to risk it with a hard defoliation. (Looks like it was done in pre flower, it wasn't, It was just coming back into veg, but would of taken weeks to get it growing fully again, and at looking I'm happy with it so I pushed again with my Defol to get colas. You can find this on grow weed easy "full tutorial for flowering") am gonna leave her now until she's out of pre flower, she's 35cm or so tall. I don't see putting on much height. As my reveg attempt will for sure hanmer her stretch.
Diet
Was planning on taking Alga Grow off for the last 10 days r so off grow. So, I only had a few days off it, and its on Alga Bloom now.
Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARMER. Just harvested the GranDaddyPurple Auto. (BEST AUTO I'VE EVER GROWN SO FAR, TASTE, SMELL & STRENGHT BEATS ALL PAST AUTOS, BUDS DOWN) will be uploading the weeks on that soon. I've too many diaries. I knew this. So, I plan to do 2 wk updates at a time for 70% of my diaries, so pics and info will be added as those it was a weekly update. Also, I don't put up a harvest wk for a month until the cure.
Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARME, look forward to working with your more. And trying a lot more of your products. #convert.
Much appreciation to all ppl who stopped by and did your thing. Look forward to seen your work if I know you dropped by of course. Either way. Thanks for stopping by

It was a good week one of my plants went into flowering at the last days of week 5 and she is showing pistils
It wasent expected i thoght it vegetaites at least another week or so
but we have diffrent phenoes and we should have diffrent expectations
the other 2 are still in vegitaition
They had a minor nitrogen toxicity i hadent grow automatic plants till now and i was giving them a little too much fertiliser bud i found out soon and flushed them so they are ok now
Nothing too do more
except doing LST evary day by pushing big branches away to expose the little ones to light and keeping the main stems and the little stems in same hight
Thank you for your time and thanks to the growdiaries.com for letting us growers have this great experience together 💚
Keep growing🤘🏽👽

This week was a big week for the candy cush. I noticed upon watering her to run off, that in the same day the pot would go super dry and light weight. I also noticed stress in the leaves and roots poking out the bottom of the pot. It was time for a transplant. So far so good! Upon transplanting i performed more LST to help her fill in the pot. She went from a 1 gallon to a 5 gallon. She was also defoliated thia week.

De plantjes staan nu al een paar dagen in bloei. Ik heb ze paar dagen alleen maar water gegeven omdat ze wat donker van kleur waren nu geef ik weer voeding. Heb net mijn netje geplaatst en binnen paar dagen schakel ik over naar bloeivoeding.

Welcome to my LSD-25 auto sponsored by FASTBUDS & XPERT NUTRIENTS.
WEEK 5 Days 29-35
Plant moved really well through pre flower. Stsrted developing purps in the bud. She hasn't a lot of mass, she is very pungent. (Weirdly smells just like Swiss Dream Rose CBD). Gonna give her another week and then move under my bigger lamp.
Nutrients
Giving 450-500ppm of core NPK "master bloom" aswel as their full flowering line. Need to ph to 6.7. Using Biobizz ph + (only thing I don't like about it, it's black & gets everywhere, but is super as a buffer)
DLI is 37-39 over 18hrs.
Thanks to my sponsors from Fastbuds (Heather your a gem) & shout out to Xpert Nutrients for allowing me to test their products (and been 100% honest, my bud, yields have improved 2x and yield 1x, stickiness/Resin/taste easily 3x). 8 highly doubt I'll actually ever use a different line. Maybe to test if asked. But I won't be buying any other brands but this. Its my 1st crop and I'm having to hone my skills with using it. The plants uptake is so much better in soil, I keep getting caught out, whereas I use to have up fo 2 even 3 days when adding to soil before any real issues. With this my soil does need water every day.

Buds are fattening nicely and the 2 plants are receiving nutrients well. Will stop the PK in the next few days before scaling back on the A/B next week before fluching for the last fortnight. looking forward to harvesting this clone as I've just ran out of the bounty from her mother. These plants are at the front and to the right in the timelapse videos.

Hi guys!!!
we're doing pretty well now the buds swell day by day ...
i am giving fertilizer once a week
specifically this week in 1 L of water I put:
co2 ¼ of tablet
enzymes 1.5 ml
candy 3 ml
top bud 1 ml
cal mag 0.5 ml
i am keeping a ph of 6.3 / 6.5
are you curious to try the LEDs but you don't have enough information?
I found the ideal solution with this VIPARSPECTRA XS2000 lamp.
this well-known brand offers different solutions look at the official website https://viparspectra.eu/
or Search for it on Amazon:

Things are starting to turn around. The girl is looking much better overall. Starting to see some nice color and growth. I've beed watering mostly with plain ph'ed water. But I've also started adding a little Cal-Mag (from Symbys) and Recharge once per week.

Loved it, spent a few hours last night taking her down and hanging her branches up on a hanger. The smell is reminding me of raspberry puree which is delicious lol. Definitely would recommend this strain to everyone.

Again, added silicate to this grow too, probably should have done only one first to see how it does. Time will tell.
Did some super cropping on this grow too, seems to work.
The plant under to cobbs seems to be doing slightly better. Not really sure as they are just over a week longer into flower. I am tracking this and will know more at the end.
Buds are building and a pretty sight.
Going to water less and more frequently, lets see how that goes. Also during flower I am not going to let them dry out as much. Maybe half way, as best I can and then water again.
Cheers

Tuesday February 28th I dropped 5 Exotic Genetix “Yikes” in ph’d to 6 water. After 8 hours they’ll go into paper towels. Eventually ending up in rockwool. This is my first time running a RDWC system. I have to thank @budz_alot for helping me get this all together!!!

Day 77
I'm running out of vertical space for pinus contorta, this weekend i will open the box to move the leds higher and will try to do some decent photos.
At this point i've added the Pinus purple matcha to the diary because she's huge and impossible to not notice, should be around 1,5m² almost 150cm tall. Had to do a very risky move and "soft crop" 2 apicals because of burn risk, too close to the leds.
I wasn't expeting a freakin' tree like that!

Hello Growmies,
As we round up week 5 with our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid by Zamnesia, the growth has been nothing short of impressive. The choice to employ low-stress training (LST) rather than topping has paid dividends, with the plants responding well to the gentle guidance of their growth, seamlessly integrating into the SCROG setup. This method has allowed for an even canopy spread, optimal light penetration, and air flow, which is critical for the health of the plants and ultimately the yield.
Observing the Watermelon Candy's development, we see a testament to our cultivation methods. The vibrant green leaves reaching skywards, the sturdy stems, and the strategic placement of each branch in the SCROG—every detail points towards a successful vegetative phase.
In terms of environmental control, we've applied the lessons learned from our other strains, maintaining a stable and ideal VPD during the day with the Tent-X system. The nights, however, have brought forth the same challenges we've faced with other strains, showing fluctuations in VPD levels. The integration of the Smart Mars Hydro fan into the Tent-X system is anticipated to solve this, and we are optimistic that this change will bring about the consistent conditions needed for the Watermelon Candy's continual thriving.
Even with the small hiccup in the nighttime environmental control, the plants are flourishing. The robust health they exhibit is a sign they're ready for the flowering phase, and we expect nothing less than a bountiful harvest.
And while we've experienced a bit of frustration with Secret Jardin and Mars Hydro for the integration challenges, we appreciate TrolMaster's efforts to assist. We are hopeful for a resolution soon, or we may revert to the reliable Prima Klima setup.
As we move forward, the focus remains on the consistent monitoring and adjusting of their environment to ensure these Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids realize their full potential.
Stay lifted,
Salokin

Starting to look like a bag of cheesy dusting has been wafted around by unicorn farts on a barmy summers evening. Turned her around to slap her naughty side with equal and opposite neutrons or some shit like that. Boss

End of week two notes :
Created a gilly web to get everything nicely pulled in a way that is barely stressing the plants . Because all of thebsteings have specail knots as they grow in certain places , it will take stress off other parts of the plant in the webbing . Also increased out solution temperature From 21.6 to 23.8 also we were adding 150 mills of budjuice once a week and then the CO2 to breathe bag would be why we are increasing the temperature in order to get that CO2 to fully Digest it as much as possible without causing any burn or over temperature stress to the plants. They are on the floor , and it being -40C and colder I think that is to contribute to the plants not drinking as much . As you can see there is no sign of nutrient burn or really and disfunction I can see ? Let me know because as always I am always looking to bounce ideas !!
