Borked the time tracking on the previous diary weeks, both are still going strong. Grapefruit is developing a lot of new internode fan leaves, but she's too late into bloom now to defoliate etc. and don't want to stress the GG XL either. Latest GG XL photos are in Week 5. Microgreens are also coming up fast. 17/07: Forgot to take Day 42 photos for both girls, my apologies as my wrists have been giving me hell but will get some more up soon. I've been keeping with the same watering schedule, some bud sites are being shaded by fan leaves so I'm trying to VERY carefully bend them down to prop up the little bud sites better. I've rubbed my fingers on some of the fan leaves to get rid of whatever weird white dust is ending up on my leaves, probably just debris from the air and the fan might need a cleaning soon but holy shit my fingers smell strong like Pomegranate and fruits. It's getting quite addictive to smell the bud sites and rub that resin of her fan leaves, I wish I could describe it better but damn it smells good. If the resin is any indication of the final smoke I know that the Grapefruit is gonna be dank. Can't wait till drying + harvest time :)) 18/07: Plucked off some lower burnt leaves that were really old, snipped off two more big fan leaves shading new bud sites and removed the stumps from old leaves rather making those closely cut down stubs instead so no bug invaders can get a free home. :P Humidity has been ridiculously high today >~65% and dropping now in the evening after the rain has stopped to <~60%, I added some Sodium Bicarbonate in plastic jars around the tent to help pull out water from the air. (18/07: Seems to be helping, I'm seeing about a ~2-5% drop overnight and this morning, usually the humidity in the morning before+after rain is ~60-65%) 20/07: The paper ref regarding RH and Bicarb. of Soda: W.-Y. Kuu et al. / International Journal of Pharmaceutics 166 (1998) 167–175 / PII: S0378-5173(98)00049-0 - I don't know how or why but keeping temps at ~21-23C drops the RH down to a stable mid-low 50's range. Thank fuck now I don't have to drop tonnes of money on a huge dehumidifier... Occam's razor baby :) 21/07: Had to move the light, fan, carbon filter and literally everything. Some minor shit for the cover broke on top of the CaCl -RH% and the bicarb got knocked over. Wiped, sprayed down and cleaned out the fan filter as well. What a fucking start to the day... 31/07: GG XL is in Week 7 now, so getting well into flower, growing at an exponential rate and starting to give off a very subtle smell, Grapefruit smells quite noticeable now too. 03/08: GG XL ending week 7, getting massive. ~77-78CM now. Had to defoliate the Grapefruit since leaf miners were still assaulting her, hopefully this helps get more light and airflow into the bud sites, been having humidity issues but can't do much.

This girl stretch is pretty much done now on to stacking colas trichomes starting to develop and get heavy started adding plagron green sensation still working the recharge and bloom city followed by a carboload running lights at 75 percent under canopy rockin doing a 2 day 24 hr light cycle and then 8 hrs off I been doing some heavy defoliating and looks like she's ready for another round running 6.2 pH she drinks up a half gallon of water every other day so here's to another week of growing

420FASTBUDS FBT2103 WEEK 3 The 2 of these beautiful ladies are gorwin amazing so far. Really I couldn't be happier with how they're turning out. Veg for an auto is so quick and they appear to show no issue's what so ever. Started brewing a molasses tea I'll fed them in 48hrs after its aerated for a couple days. That should really activate the microbes in the soil and give them an advantage on there journey into flower. Happy Growing

Day 99.. Wow that's alot of days lol.. Colas can't even stand up.. Buds are sooo dense.. She smells fruity when you squeeze a nug.. Hopefully more amber trichomes in 7 days.. Does anybody know if the trichomes change on a week to week basis.. Or can they change on a day to day basis? Or does it take 30 days to notice any change? I hope somebody can answer that for me in the comments.. Anyways.. This is the last 7 days of her life.. Not going to do any of that 48 hours darkness crap cuz honestly I think it's BS.. But maybe I'm wrong.. I just didnt notice any difference when I let one plant stay under light for 48 hours more while I put another plant in complete darkness.. Didnt even check on her.. And yeah.. Nothing really changed as far as I could tell and both ladies got me just as stoned.. So I choose not to do the darkness stuff.. But I do stop watering and let the medium dry out so I can also remove the rootball and check it out during harvest without having to worry about wet medium when I do it.. Lol *** I ordered the 2 bags of organic dry amendments of Earth Dust.. I requested a refund before it was even shipped. They refunded my money and 2 days later still SHIPPED the 2 bags of Earth Dust Organic Dry Amendments.. They claim 1 mix of the soil for the seedling.. 1 top dress for bloom transition and 1 more top dress of bloom till harvest*** I'm guessing they mean autoflower? What if you double the length of veg for a photoperiod? Can you top dress the veg once more? ***Thegreensunshinecompany dot com*** Wanted to try it out but changed my mind.. But I got my money back and the product.. Guess Ill try it out if they want me to so bad lol.. Day 100.. Took some pics of trichomes and found these things that look like seeds.. My last 2 autos had these too. There is no way.. I dont see any nanners.. Or male flowers at all.. I disected one.. I dont think its a seed.. Yet at least.. Maybe like the egg waiting to get pollinated?? No idea lol.. Anybody else got 2 cents on that?? Day 103.. Almost there!!! The trichomes haven't changed much.. She smells very skunky.. Also very very sticky. Colas are just floppin around all over the place lol. This is the first plant I've grown that has had colas too heavy for the branches.. What a great issue to have tho! The calyxes have purpled alot.. I removed alot of little leaves that were crispy and ready to fall off.. Not many leaves to work with thanks to her very high calyx to leaf ratio! Purple, stinky, sticky buds.. I can't wait!!!!... Almost freaking there!!!..... Later... I removed alot of leaves that were just dying off.. And took more pics lol.. 2 more days and 1 night.. Then harvesting her.. If you look close enough you can actually see a few amber trichomes glistening in the video toward the end some.. Gorgeous, gorgeous plant..... Day 104... Almost almost ALMOST FREAKING THERE!!!..... Day 105.. Got alot of trichome pics.. So beautiful.. She will be harvested on day 107.. Might do the 48 hours of darkness.. But ai dont want her to dry out too much.. I want to make sure she gets alot of days drying before curing.. Everything seems to be lined up perfect woth this girly.. I wonder if I could even let her go another week.. But my patience wont let that happen lol.. I almost harvested beginning of this week lol.. She is going to be perfect!!! Day 106.. Yeah I know.. this should have started week 16.. But Im harvesting tomorrow.. If I didn't have work I would have harvested today.. Maybe I should have tried atleast 24 hours of darkness.. Meh.. Whatever.. She is still gonna be dank as fuck regardless! So colorful! So stinky! So sticky!!!.. I can't wait till tomorrow.. So excited! Sucks that I can't smoke it after its dry.. But that's just more bud to savor after the cure!!! Anyways.. She comes down tomorrow! Got my cardboard box ready! Same box I used for the White Widow Auto from ILGM I harvested a couple months ago.. She is pretty exquisite herself!!! So excited.. So so excited!!!...

Starting off week 2 strong. The Patients are responding well. Started the week off 750ml water per Patient. Day 19- Patient. 1 and 2 look strong and 3 is a week behind. It has rust spots on 2 leaves looks like from standing water. The plants look healthy adjusted the temp to 79 and raised the humidity to 66% The leaves felt a lil dry. Gave each plant 1 litre of water now. With steady increases. Still following Mr Canucks Water schedule. I am assuming I have to amend the soil 30 days from veg start. Day 20 is actually day 14. Ok so I will make my adjustments based on Veg and Flower that makes things way easier then the total time. So I noticed leaf septoria on Patient 3 so I found a remedy of copper fungicide. So I made a mixture of neem oil and Copper. 1 tbsp per gallon. So we will see how it turns out. The increase in humidity has helped. Having a 4*8 tent and not filling it up with plants I have noticed is a waste. After this grow I will be filling it up. Veg +9: The patients are going strong have them 1000ml of water and athe 5 gallon bucket went empty so I am filling it now to put it back in the aerator. The patient number 3 will be sprayed at lights out for the spotting again. Other than that a good end to week 2. Veg +11: We will be tracking the Patients 1 and 2. Since they are next to each other in same day of growth. I adjusted the Humidity to 55. I ordered an inline box filter. The tent is in the garage and do not want any outside debris in the tent which I thought could be happening. I also vacuumed the tent as well. Veg +12. Added 1000ml of water today. Thinking of starting to LST to open up the plant a lil. There are quiet a few branches under there. So while writing this I have decided to LST the main branch.

Auto Northern Dragon Fuel is doing some bulking. I have cut back on nitrogen, and increased blooming nutes. Her ph is trying to climb is why I dosed her good in nutes. I did some selective defoliation in center around the colas. I am just waiting on them to faten up. Thank you Medic Grow, and Super Sativa Seed Club. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

So far things are going well. Bloom has started and already seeing purple/pink hues on the buds. Will be back to update properly just posting up a few pictures before i forget. Check out the YouTube channel. Water change at day 31 and pH'd the water to 5.8. I also got a new RO 4 stage water filter for the best water quality for the girls so ill be using that on the next water change. The smell is sweet in the tent. All seems to be going ok. Day 34 - The girls seem happy enough, a few colder nights than needed but all in all, happy with there progress.
