A great week for the girls, started with some defoliating after figuring out where our net would be. Mostly the lower leaves and lowest sets of bud sites that would be popcorns or larf later. Also took a couple larger fan leaves to open them up for the light, and tied down the freshly healed topped main stems to even out the canopy. The diary was extended 2 days (and our diaries are late lol, birthdays) as we are flipping on the first of July, the net is around 70% full or more as of dropping it and tucking some branches. I'll probably shift them slightly, they'll be in the same spots but moved to give Blue Dream some extra tucking space. She's Sativa dominant and likely to stretch the most along side Apex and possible Citradellic Sunset but the journal's i've seen her stretch wasn't as severe lol. With extra tucking space, and being next to the taller hybrids it should help keep the right side canopy balanced. Both sides have their own 4x4 light. Bud Ignitor has been added on the last day. We will continue defoliation for the first two weeks of flower focusing on the under side of the canopy where it's shaded, and removing any suckers we find. There were signs of a Ph imbalance on Citradellic Sunset which is my own error, tap water Ph vs Nutrient Ph, not in soil anymore! lol But she has recovered happily and is growing vigorously. Still no new TDS meter so we stick close to the feeding schedule from Advanced Nutrients with some tweaks. We feed twice a week, Feed/Feed/Water. So instead of the full 4ml of base nutes we use 3ml each watering and they seem happier. 2ml of the additives but most are only added once a week except for Sensi Cal-Mag, Bud Candy and now Bud Ignitor (we also will use Big Bud, Nirvana and Overdrive twice a week). The final watering is PHd to be the same as the feed watering. Max strength base nutes have always burned the tips of my plants, I almost backed off to 2ml of base nutes twice a week as 3ml gave slight tip burn to the smaller Say Less and White Wedding but they have adjusted to it and new growth is healthy. I will most likely edge up to 3ml more gradually next grow. We are still new to scrog but I feel we are off to a better start this round, last time the net was completely full and I don't want a second net.

It’s another week of drooling here damn these are some juicy looking veggies, already dreaming of smoking them!🤤🤤 I feel it’s starting to get to the end of the line for 2 of my OG’s, will feed m 2 more times before I start the flush. Plan to have m around for at least 2 more weeks hope that’s enough to clean m out. Got another OG with a crazy amount of leaf growth. Don’t know what to think of it but it has a great color and will def need a lot more time to develop buds, same package of seeds, same strain, same veg treatment complete different plant 🤨 1 gorilla (top middle) had the filter dropped on him and lost the main cola, the rest of the buds seem okay but the little twigs on this plant are way to skinny to keep m up right. The gorilla in the top right corner got too close to the sun, I really thought it was a herma or something but I guess it’s just deformed during a week of extreme temperatures. If ya think I should just chop it off leave me a comment 👍🏼 Sooo really dont know if anybody is still reading but I’m gonna split this diary up in 2, I love this site and it would be better to document per strain for my own archive. And the contests only admit 1 strain per diary hehe 😏

This girl is strictly for seed I guess however she smells really sweet for a skunk I’m guessing is the blueberry traits. I look forward to seeds.

Hey everyone, Starting some CBD seeds to go along with everything else growing. Kinda making the best of what I have available, small little pop up greenhouse. Got some solar powered fans and run the humidifiers on a timer depending on heat and what not. Looking to be doing good so far, weather is crappy right now but should be better later this week.

I am going to start my new week 24-11-2019 because the soil is telling that it needs water and it's technically the beginning if the new week so why not. If you look at the still Pic the leaves look like a deficiency or maybe light burn I did not notice that earlier today. I have si ce raised the light and I will check tomorrow to see if the color of the leaves have turned green all through the veins where there is some signs of yellowing. If I see change the maybe both concerns have been addressed because I also increased the ppm's in feeding.

Day 57- Did a light defoliation. RO water at 66 PPM. Running until more Ambers pop. Day 58- checked trichromes, ambers are showing up in clumps, I’d say about 15-20% amber trichs at the moment. PPM 55. Day 60: 4-5 day flush brings me to harvest. Cut down both plants, light trim of larger fan leaves and placed in tent. I used 2 scrog nets to hang the buds, worked ok, need to make tighter next time... too much droops! So far, First 24 hours of tent at 68 F and 70% humidity. At 48 hours 67F and reduced to 60% humidity At 72 hours 69 F and reduced to 55% humidity, maintaining till dry. Trying to get temps a little lower but no A/C... Trying to stretch drying time close to 14 days. Anything after 7 and I’m happy.

Dutch Passion - Melonads Runtz Harvest We’ve completed this amazing grow, and I must say, we truly enjoyed it! The plant grew easily and initially had a bush-like shape, but later, it transformed into a Christmas tree look. The aroma is incredibly delicious, and the yield is impressive. The buds are dense and covered in resin; while trimming, our fingers were coated in such a thick layer of sticky resin that the scissors wouldn’t cut the leaves anymore. We want to extend our gratitude to Dutch Passion for such an amazing strain—we absolutely loved growing it. We also want to give a huge thanks to Xpert Nutrients for the outstanding fertilizer that has helped us grow such beautiful and powerful plants year after year. Without your products, it would have been much harder to achieve these results. The nutrients are easy to use and of exceptional quality! Why I Choose Xpert Nutrients: When it comes to growing strong, healthy plants, choosing the right fertilizer is key. After several years of experience in indoor cultivation, I can confidently say that Xpert Nutrients stands out from the rest, and here’s why: 1. Unmatched Quality: From the very first use, it’s clear that Xpert Nutrients is made from premium, high-quality ingredients. Every bottle is consistent, and the nutrients are perfectly balanced for each stage of the plant’s growth cycle. This attention to detail has allowed me to grow incredibly healthy plants with powerful roots, lush foliage, and dense, resin-packed buds. 2. Easy to Use: No complicated mixing instructions or guessing games. Xpert Nutrients provides clear guidelines, and I never have to worry about whether I’m giving too much or too little. The nutrients dissolve perfectly in water, leaving no residue or sediment in my system, making feeding a breeze. 3. Consistent Results Every Time: I’ve used Xpert Nutrients across multiple grows, and the results are consistently impressive. My plants grow faster, are more robust, and yield more, whether I’m growing autoflowers or photoperiod plants. Each time, the buds come out dense, sticky, and packed with potency. 4. Boosts Potency and Flavor: One thing I’ve noticed is that Xpert Nutrients doesn’t just help with growth; it also boosts the aroma and flavor of the final product. My plants consistently produce some of the most aromatic and flavorful buds I’ve ever grown, making each harvest a true sensory experience. 5. Optimal Performance with Every Strain: Whether I’m growing strains from Dutch Passion, Anesia Seeds, or Humboldt, Xpert Nutrients works wonders with all of them. I can rely on it to provide the essential nutrients my plants need to thrive, no matter the strain or growing conditions. 6. Support and Trust: The customer service and support from the Xpert Nutrients team have been incredible. They genuinely care about their customers' success and are always ready to provide advice and guidance. Knowing I have such a supportive company behind me is invaluable. After years of growing, I’ve tried a lot of different fertilizers, but Xpert Nutrients has consistently delivered the best results. It’s a product I trust, and it never lets me down. If you’re serious about growing the best plants possible, Xpert Nutrients is a game-changer you can’t afford to miss.

2 Girls 1 Cup week 8 is it?? Looks like GC is on week 4 still 🤣. Day 49- big defol on GC tonight, mild prune on the right side also. Few strategic plucks on WG to help share the light evenly. My fingers are sticky asf and STINK like lemon/lime and gas. Changed RES yesterday, modified week 3 GHE bloom medium feed. Breakdown as follows: 5 gal tap/RO 20mL calmag Micro - 26.5mL Grow - 26.5mL Bloom - 41mL RES totals after PH corrections - 1148 @ 5.63 ====================================================================================================================== Day 50- where to start.... fuck.. well, i was wondering if my TDS was accurate or not. never checked it against another meter until today... and lets just say its been OFF the whole damn time!! i tested it against two other meters. one cheapo from amazon, and one from a zero water pitcher. TDS reading from each in order from current>amazon>zerowater.. 930, 642, 616. checked online and they are all on the 500 scale. so i dialed the "current" meter back to 616 to match the brand new zero water meter. never really trusted the cheapo amazon one TBH.. went ahead and topped off with 1.5L and gave them a 1/1/2 mL shot of M/G/B to boost the RES numbers a bit. currently sitting at 662 @ 5.84. so i guess GHE calculations havent been anywhere near the ballpark like i thought. maybe they were using the same damn meter i have currently, set EXACTLY as far off as mine was from factory 🤣. IDKWTF happened there, but its a good thing i started light and worked up following their signs. even though the meter was off, it was still giving me information that was useable. should have left it where it was, but my OCD would haunt me until it was adjusted. plucked a few on WG tonight and left my fingers sticky and stinky. GC keeps stretching, refusing to hit full flower still.. Sorry Herbies, i know you all exaggerate the finish times... but come on now lol... theres no way this one would finish in the time they state online.. FastBuds Wedding Glue on the other hand... she may be short, but shes STOCKY. she'll just get fatter too. who knew i liked fat chicks?? ====================================================================================================================== Day 51- few plucks here and there on WG. have to be careful now because these leaves are what's going to last the next few weeks. Can't take too many, can't leave it closed up. Since I won't be able to flush, i may do a multi harvest on WG and give GC a lil more time to hurry TF up and do her thing. I hate waisting... anticipation is building for the end. Not only to see these girls come to a finish.. but to set up the new system "correctly". Using things learned in this experiment. ====================================================================================================================== Day 53- not much to report other than the typical random strategic plucks on WG and more abuse to GC. been adding a booster to the RES every other top off. Ends up being once a day. One top off calmag'd water, one calmag'd water with a 0/1/2mL (M/G/B) per L added. Gave em a .5mL bump of M today since I've only been boosting it with G & B for the last 2 days. *edit* my dumbass forgot to set timelapse interval from 3sec to 45sec and the vid is 1.8gb long.. going to just skip today's footage. ====================================================================================================================== Day 55- GC is trying to catch up from the looks of it. It's like 3 weeks behind schedule 🤣🤣. Was going to defol the shit out of it again, but may leave it for another day or two. Once it takes WG's sun, it's getting snipped again. Forgot to mention more GC abuse from yesterday, or the day before. Didnt take a pic so I'm leaving it up to my memory. kinda accidently, purposely, tripped and precisely stabbed the main with some pointy tweezers... about half way in, and may have accidently twisted a bit before and while pulling it out... oops.. what's a lil more stress on GC right?? Maybe I'll have to trip every so many days and see if it has a positive effect 🤣. Will try and snap a pic of GC main at some point. ====================================================================================================================== As always, thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow experiment. Check back to see when I mess it up 🤣 check out the up to date timelapse from day 27 on @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZxJgAYve2s

Some of my finished and flowering plants included in pictures, found a small amount of slider mites in my veg tent , as you can see I'm managing it , one more week in the veg tent before I flip them all, I also decided to start one in flower before the rest as I want to stagger my harvest and get back into perpetual growing, Hope you're having a good day everyone 😁
