7/24/23 - Day 42 - Ok, so where to start? I'm going to go over the last couple days of issues/troubleshooting. We had an issue with the lights not coming on for a whole day/night cycle. That was a couple of days ago, and everything seems okay since then. I had some Canoeing/tacoing on the leaves once the lights were back on. I think I had the PH too low, 5.8. In flower, I should start moving it up the scale. Once I corrected the PH to 6.2, the canoeing/tacoing in the leaves seemed to be gone/almost gone. I'm REALLY worried about the height of the plant. She is only 12 in. from the light that I cannot move. I added a second scrogg net???? I don't know if that's done a lot, but I'm going to try and stop if from growing straight up. I think the best I can do is give it a lean. So Ill call this the ScoggGL (GangstaLean). You'll see some pictures up top as I start the ScoggGL I did the first big trim and pulled a 3-gallon bucket of fan leaves out. I cut off a few side branches I didn't want the plant to waste energy on. I trimmed so many leaves off it was crazy. The smells have been awesome! You all know the smell of the fresh plant stems and leaves as you trim and rub across them. It's one of my favorite smells, which is in full effect. I noticed that I have some pistils growing. I know what that means, shes going to have some flowers here in the next week. I couldn't be more excited!!!!! The roots are just downright ruthless; they have been growing out of control. I have a great picture of them in there with no water. I should note that I did two things that might have solved the Tacoing in the leaves. It could have been one or the other, but it also could be a combo of both things. I did the trimming to get some airflow between the leaves and changed the target for my PH from 5.8 to 6.2. When moving into flowering, I should have already done that. But I did both things while the leaves were Tacoing, and now they are not. I wanted to make sure I noted that. 7/26/23 - Day 44 - Things are looking great. No more tacoing, she's growing and still drinking about 2+ gallons a day of water. I hope the vertical growth stops soon, I want to remove a ton more fan leaves, and I'm hoping that it spends more time growing around than up, I'm keeping some leaves on just to slow some vertical growth. 7/27/23 - Day 45 - She's sleeping right now, but I will chop some more fan leaves when she wakes up. She's growing too tall, and I need to find a way to stop her. I think shocking her system will help stunt her growth. How crazy is this, what a conundrum I'm in. Normally I stress out trying to find the right time to trim to avoid stunting growth. I always keep my plants busy and do one or two chops. I think they need to grow as mother nature intended. Let them grow and do one, maybe two fan leave chops. That's always been my motto and its always worked out great for me. This is now the exact opposite. Feels weird even thinking about it, doing a leave chop two weeks into flower..... ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!! Lol The 2nd chop has happened. I took a ton of fan leaves off. It's time for the plant to slow down heal and start working on the buds! Let's see how this goes over the next couple of days. I added a timelapse of me chopping her up. 7/28/23 - Day 46 - After adding more water last night, I was checking PH, and I did a quick check on the ppm from the nutes. If it went from 600ppm down to 130ppm in a couple of days. So we decided to give her another dose of nutes so she has something to eat. I'll update you after she wakes up for the day.

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Week 16 Harvest 17 th April 2020 This Entire feminised seed making and growing project was a very good learning experience for me. Right from the very start, when I successfully got a Cutting ,taken from a Barneys Farm Red diesel female plant to produce feminised pollen after treating it with a silver thiosulfate solution. I then used it to pollinate a Fastbuds Girl scout cookies auto plant and let it grow to maturity. This only produced 3 viable seeds one of which is the subject of this Diary. I made up the name "Ginger nut cookies" after a variety of cookies we have here in Australia that are made with ginger. They are the same colour as the distinct red hairs on the red diesel buds. And would you believe those same vivid red hairs were passed on to this plant so I wasn't too far off the mark with the strain name. Her flavour however is nothing like red diesel or girl scout cookies and infact as taken on a smell and aroma all of it's own. She has a lovely tropical fruit like taste and the smell is a bit like fruit yoghurt. It has an unreal after taste on the exhale and the lingering second hand smoke smells very sweet and enticing. She has a pretty well balanced high too not as potent as the GSC nor as energenic as the red diesel but just a pleasant mix of the two. It was a very easy to grow and undemanding plant that didn't seem to require a lot of extra feeding other than the 100% organic nutrients that were within the soil and a few things like compost teas etc. The other element of this diary was of course the weekly Aussie music videos That I provided the links for and put up a little video clip preview of each Artists song. Week 1 Dance Monkey Week 2 Gotye Week 3 AC/DC Week 4 INXS Week 5 Dire straits Week 6 Yothu yindi and Midnight oil Week 7 Divinyls Week 8 Was Request week where I asked growers to pick and because only 3 growers put in a request I decided to choose all three which were Kylie Minogue , Flume & Airbourne Week 9 Paul Kelly Week 10 Daddy Cool Week 11 Cold chisel Week 12 Jimmy Barnes Week 13 The Angels Week 14 Crowded House Hoodoo gurus Mental as Anything Week 15 Empire of the sun Big Pig , Silverchair , Peking duk Grinspoon , Hilltop hoods and the White stripes And Finally for the last lot of music videos I have chosen another multi list bonanza of Aussie Music with the artist/s name and Youtube link below. So in no particular order here are my last choices for this Diary its been a fun grow with a steep learning curve. John Williamson True Blue https://youtu.be/ceWKrsJX9N4 Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue Where the wild roses grow https://youtu.be/lDpnjE1LUvE John Farnham Your the Voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbkOZTSvrHs Powderfinger Pick you up https://youtu.be/4Ha-dtNXTM8 Slim Dusty Pub with no beer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8E0aZ387M_I Men At Work Down Under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s Icehouse Great southern land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mkidP2OUCk Before I go I'd like to thank all of you who read & like my diary updateseach week you are all awesome!!

My nine Week 7 flowers are thriving under the new GrowPro Solutions under-canopy lights. The lights have really brought out some amazing colors in the buds. It's so cool to see how much they've changed in just a day! I'm excited to see how they develop even more in the coming weeks

Pretty decently easy grow, no complaints! Stoked to pull 6oz in a 10 week grow -- autos ROCK! This smells great! The buds were MASSIVE, I was a little skeptical of jarring them that big and decided cut them into smaller nugs just to be careful with mold issues. Will update and finish this review in a few weeks once they've cured!

Ladies are still doing great, the only problem is that the leaves are burning a little too early. This might be due to the previous pH problem that resulted in a nutrient lock-out... All the buds are developing very well, and looking super icy, smelling amazing and looking dense. Both pheno's are really smelling like sweet sour artificial cherries, really excited to see how these will turn out.

📅 D71 - 24/10 📜 New res, maybe the last one before the flush. I keep the EC on 1,4 and pH on 5,8 ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D72 - 25/10 📜 As pH is falling and EC raises, I added 1 L. of fresh RO water. Now EC is about 1,6 and pH of 5,9. Also, I start to make some pictures of trichomes that for now is blank and milky. I think Lucy needs a couple or three other weeks. ✍️ 1,6 EC ♒ 5,9 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D73 - 26/10 📜 I made a nice video, take a look please :). Added 2 L of water EC = 0,8 and pH = 6,1. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D74 - 27/10 📜 Added 1 L of pure RO water ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 5,9 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D75 - 28/10 📜 I'm unsure what I should do among these options: make a water cleanup with florakleen then new res with ripen until the end and a new flush or wait until the end and nmake a flush in the lst two days. Any suggestion will be welcome. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D76 - 29/10 📜 I decided to make a clean with Flash Kleen this week and then Ripen for about another week until the final flush. I hope this is the right decision. ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 5,9 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 110 cm 📅 D77 - 30/10 📜 Changed the res with 10 liters of water withj only ripen. Last week, I will harvest at the end of next week ✍️ 1,5 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L 📏 110 cm

Esta semana realizamos la tercera y última poda baja. Subimos la potencia de las luminarias Lazerlite Pro 720w by The Pure Factory al 100%. Conectamos a tope la extracción durante el foto periodo nocturno. Y conectamos el aire acondicionado durante el periodo diurno, cortando la extracción. Seguimos con los riegos según la tabla de JUJU Royal by BioBizz.

not sure where the dry weight thing went but i dont fill in wet weight. who even weighs there whole plant? dry yield is 269gram of pure bud. Grown in a 22liter pot with biobizz lightmix soil and greenhousefeeding bio line this smells so hard that my neigbor called the cops. she even smelled it in her apartment so its game over for me because off this plant. never came across such a weed smelling strain in the 8 years that im growing. hope to be back in 6 months or so.

Plant two is doing a little better color wise. Something is going on with the leaves of plant one mostly. Maybe it is because i was using overflow water straight from the air conditioning unit instead of the tap? I'm having to pull a lot of dead leaves off

I have a hard time adjusting the room temperature because of the air conditioner failure. I started growing with one plant, a week later I added two more, and the next week 2 more.This is why my job is really hard. AK 49s have not started blooming even though they are in their 6th week!DNA genetic seeds and I bought them 3 years ago. In my previous cultivations they flowered in 4 or 5 weeks.With the 12/12 light cycle I encourage them to bloom.Since they're all at 6 weeks of auto seeds, I've started adding the bloom fertilizers. I guess I just need a little luck and good wishes! Please send your beautiful energies...Thanks :))

Week 10. A bit behind the schedule considering I switched to 12/12 after week 1 but I don't rush. It was just an experiment to see what;s gonna happen when I switch so early.. Not much I guess :)) The left plant was like a week behind for the first part of the grow and now doing way better then the other one. Not sure what affected the one on the right if it's just genetics or something else but she is little bit slower now. It makes me feel like a light leak so I tightened up the tent and we will see. Fingers crossed it looks very promissing. I also have to leave for 5 days so I have to setup autowatering and hope it's not gonna die till I come back :) See you next week

Green House Feeded one is moved to the middle and she enjoys her new spot. Advanced Nutrients feeded one is overfed. I will be adjusting the Ph and reduce feeding. Light intensisty is at 90% in 50 cm distance.

🌱Day 36 - Second Week of Flowering 🌱 Hello growing friends! 🌿 Today marks the beginning of the second week of the flowering phase, and I’m very happy with how the buds are developing so far. 🌸✨ Since this is my first grow, I’m truly amazed by how fascinating these plants are. It’s an exciting journey! 🌱🤩 Last week, I struggled with yellow leaves and a calcium & magnesium deficiency. Fortunately, with the help of BioBizz Calmag, things are slowly improving. 🍃💪 Currently, I’ve set the humidity to 45%—according to my research, this is ideal for minimizing the risk of mold. 💧🚫🌿 🌱 Day 42 - Last Day of the Second Flowering Week 🌱 Hello everyone! 🌿 Today marks the last day of the second week of flowering, and I’ve made some updates to my routine. I’ve increased the nutrients to BioBizz Grow (3ml), BioBizz Bloom (2ml), and BioBizz TopMax (1.5ml). The plants are growing well and have recovered from the calcium deficiency. 🍃💪 I’m continuing to add a bit of BioBizz CalMag to prevent any future deficiencies. 🌱✨ This week, I also added some soil to the pots, as the soil level had flattened out quite a bit. I topped up each pot with about 1.5 liters of soil.

These girls are super sticky! Resin is building up all over the place, including the leaves. I've been defoliating like crazy but they just keep coming back. These girl have a wide range of smells. Ranging from gas to mild strawberries. I'm hoping they get more strawberry as we finish.
