Grow diary / germination / The new adventure begins Hello, dear grower friends! 馃槉 I鈥檓 back with a new grow diary and a new adventure. This is my second grow and I鈥檓 excited to try new things and improve my skills. I鈥檓 thankful for all the support and feedback I鈥檝e received from you . 馃檹 In this week鈥檚 update, I want to talk about: My setup My seeds My germination My expectations My setup My setup is still an 80 by 80 by 180 cm tent, which is a bit small but nothing else fits in my room. I鈥檓 very satisfied with it for the beginning, but I will get a Homebox for the third run because I find the zippers better processed and the inlay reflects more light. My lamp is a LUmatek 200 watt pro edition, which I鈥檓 absolutely happy with. It has great handling and processing and it gives enough light for my plants. If I get a smaller tent for a mother plant, I will order from Lumatek again 110 percent. My exhaust is twice as strong as I need it so I can keep it at a quiet 50 percent. It keeps the air fresh and the temperature stable. The temperature is around 25掳C and the humidity is around 60%. I water my plants manually according to the Biobizz fertilizer scheme. I use organic nutrients and adjust the pH of the water. The plants are in Lightmix now and will move to 20 l fabric pots in Allmix when transplanting. My seeds As seeds I have this time: 1 Orange Sherbert from Barneys Farm 1 Bruce Banner 1 Apple Fritter 2 Lemon Gelato from a collaboration of Zamnesia and Kannabia These are all very special strains that I鈥檓 curious to try. The Lemon Gelato seeds were limited to 500 and I hope they will be fantastic. Of course I have conserved some for later grows. My germination I germinated the seeds in a glass of water for 24 hours and then planted them in small pots with Lightmix. They sprouted after 2-3 days and are now showing their first true leaves. They look healthy and happy, except for one Lemon Gelato seed that didn鈥檛 make it, which was probably my fault. The other one is very lively. I have them under the lamp at 18/6 light cycle and at about 50 cm distance. I water them every two days with a spray bottle and a little bit of root juice. My expectations I鈥檓 looking forward to the new challenge, especially because it鈥檚 a mix of 4 strains this time and I hope we can build on past successes. I want to improve my scrog technique and top the plants at least 3 times. I also want to try mainlining on one of them. I thank you all for stopping by, as soon as it鈥檚 worth it there will be a timelapse. 馃帴 That鈥檚 it for this week. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates on my grow diary. Feel free to leave a comment or a question below. Happy growing! 馃尡

Another good week! Continued LST. Ph stayed between 6-6.5. It was a muggy week here, and the indoor temps hung between 75-85. Looks like I have lots of flowers to look forward to!

There鈥檚 a big variety of budshapes on the Q1 which I really like the dos si dos buds all have the same shape and look big and stacking Unfortunately one of my mates spotted a banana on the Q1 maybe caused by calmag deficiency so on Monday to Tuesday night I decided to harvest her . Trichomes were most milky and with an expected blooming time from 5-6 weeks harvesting her starting of week 5 hurts a little but should be fine . Dos si dos now solo in the tent with no bananas or seeds spotted yet

I transplanted the Blackberry Kush a little early so it could start benefitting from the auto watering. For my grow set up I am not worried about overwatering, and I think the root development will be just fine in my tall, 2.5g pots. I will keep dialing up the nutrients carefully, as the Blackberry Kush is showing some minor development issues which I hope will self resolve (the Fastbuds Blackberry is doing great in the same conditions). I will have a lot more updates during the week, happy growing everyone and stay safe! 馃憤馃尡 Day 10: started adding silicon and rapid start (and a little pH down) and upped the trio slightly. In case anyone is wondering if there is any perlite, there is! It's just chilling under layer of pure coco. Right now there is 3l of perlite per pot, with the highest concentration lowest in the pot where drainage will be needed the most. Day 12: I lowered lights to 20 inches which is my vegitative growth hanging height generally. Thanks to those who responded to my grow question regarding this plant's leaf deformaties, the general consensus was that if the other parameters are good and this is the only plant showing symptoms it is likely genetic. This is also what I have suspected, as the only other plant I have had display these characteristics was a Black Cream almost a year ago grown with a completely different growing style. That plant grew alright (although slightly behind it's peers) so I hope this one can do well once it starts taking off! Day 13: I am running low on calimagic as a cal mag source, so I switched out to Greenleaf nutrients cal-mag pro that I have a bag of (that will last forever!) It has a bit more nitrogen, which is good for the current plant stage, so I can save the calimagic for flowering if the plants don't mind the switch. I mix about .5-.6 EC worth of Cal mag, which is about .625tsp per 5 gallons of the Cal mag pro. I will have this reflected on tomorrow's diary entry.

Day 15/Day 3: + Speed is finally starting to take off. Should show excellent growth this week. Seedling coming along nicely for 3 days. Popped 5/19. Will keep humidity dome on for the week with 1 mist per day of straight RO water. OG + Speed looks horrible. Really stunted and has struggled ever since she was transplanted. Definitely germinate in paper towels and plant direct to final pot next time. We'll see what happens with her; she is trying to hang in there however. There is some new growth be it extremely slow. Might end up with one small cola. We shall see... OG + Speed is currently in a 1gl pot filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest. She was fed a light feeding of nutes 5/21/23. First big feed for Day 15 + Speed: 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 2ml CALiMAgic, 1ml RapidStart, 1ml Floralicious Plus and 2.5ml Armor Si. RO water PH 6.0 Temp: 75潞 RH: 63% PPFD: 450 VPD: .53 kPa Day 16/Day 4: + Speed looks about the same as yesterday with a tiny bit of new leaf growth. Checking the light I noticed the PPFD around 350 where she was sitting. I think the tripod was blocking some light. Moved around now about 450 PPFD. We'll see if that helps her speed up (pun intended) Applied LST to + Speed. New + Speed shows slightly larger leaves from yesterday so progressing and OG + Speed looks like she is thriving! She's trying to hang on and do something. No water no feed. Temp: 76潞 RH: 61% PPFD: 475 AVG VPD: .46 kPa Day 17/Day 5: + Speed looks healthy and happy. Taking to LST nicely. New + Speed sprout doing it's thing. Will feed tomorrow. Temp 77潞 RH: 55 % PPFD: 500 AVG VPD: .6kPa Day 18/Day 6: All is well the nursery. Moved up and turned up the lights. Fed 250ml of 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 2ml CALiMAGic and 1ml Floralicious in RO water PH 6.2 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 69潞. Tent Temp: 77潞 RH: 60% PPFD: 575 VPD: .44 kPa New + Speed got 25ml of .3ml RapidStart (All per Gal) Day 19/Day 7: Looking good. Tent Temp: 77潞 RH: 60% PPFD: 550 VPD: .44 kPa Day 20/Day 8: Still looking good. New growth. Smaller + Speed still trying to catch up. She'll be small but should still produce. Fed another 250ml RO water with 1ml RapidStart PH: 5.7 Tent Temp: 77潞 RH: 60% PPFD: 550 VPD: .44 kPa Day 21: End of Veg Week 3! Looking strong and healthy so far. Almost feeding/watering daily at this point, will up the solution volume and see if it will last a day or two longer. Lagging + Speed still truckin' along. New + Speed seedling looking a little shriveled. Fed 350ml-400ml of 4ml FloraMicro, 6ml FloraGro, 3ml FloraBloom, 1ml RapidStart, 2.5ml ArmorSi, 2ml CALiMAGic and 1ml Floralicious in RO water PH 6.2 PPM: 750 Solution Temp: 69潞. Tent Temp: 77潞 RH: 60% PPFD: 500-550 AVG VPD: .44 kPa

Week 8 Day 1: how did we get here?! Northern Lights is looking beautiful (the only plant in a 5 gal pot outside). No major issues. Kids were fed liquid nutrients for the second time 9/8, and will be recieving them once a week moving forward (hopefully every other watering). Gotta find a way to make watering a smoother process tho, might invest in a home RO filter 馃槀 Big dreams being discussed, this could be the start of the only cultivation, breeding, and distribution center that has a primary focus on re-entry and subsequent business development.. That鈥檚 how you do socially responsible business and policy. You heard me?

TUESDAY 1/15: MuthaPHucking PH fluctuations again!!!!! 馃槚 I calibrate my 2 cheapo- ph pens everymotherPHucking day and STILL it happens....PHuck the dumb shit....I just ordered a $100+ Apera tester.馃憟 I watered everybody with about a half-gallon of water, plus heavy boomerang and calimagic, some bud candy, some terpinator, some kelp me kelp you, some armor silica, and the bloomers got their first dose of open sesame..no big bloom or grow big for anyone. WEDNESDAY: I foliar fed them a few times and calibrated my new ph tester. The big C4 is branching like crazy...the little one is flowering now..hopefully she stretches really well too. All 3 WW's have started flowering. I FIM'd the last 2 WW's today, so everybody's done. Debbie Diesel is looking strong..big thick main stalk. The Northern Lights is also showing me some vertical growth now. All 3 Candy Canes are budding up nicely.馃憤 FRIDAY: I fed everybody about a half-gallon and foliar fed them a couple of times. SATURDAY: Foliar fed a few times The Candy Canes have stretched so much that I may need to raise my lights a little..they are about 16 inches from the tops now....monitoring... SUNDAY: Foliar fed a few times Still no sign of light burn on the CC's, so I'm leaving the lights where they are. MONDAY: Still moist..will water tomorrow with my new pump-driven system馃憤

They鈥檙e all hitting their stride in terms of flower. Chemdawg easily the most impressive bud development/size wise, but Bubba is massive and has a TON of bud sites. No leaf discolouration at all so I鈥檓 guessing the ladies have switched to flower smoothly with the right amount of food in the soil. I top dressed with Gaia Bloom to give them a little extra for the next few weeks as they push forward. Crazy to believe Bubba might only have 25 days left which means I don鈥檛 know if she鈥檒l get fed anything other than water from here on out

Start of week 3! All three plants have had great bud site development during the last 2 weeks. The Super Lemon Haze is a bit thirstier than the Blueberries, so the Slh got and extra 2 liters of feed during week 2. The Slh is also showing deficiency, hopefully with the addition of B52 to the feed cycle, she'll come around. On th blueberries, there has been some rust spots appearing on the largest leaves, I removed the worst one's and will monitor more closely this week, if that issue continues or not. These babies are very bushy, they take up 80% of my grow room space, very excited about this grow and these plants.

Green Crack is wack!! Both ladies got the chop and are drying now. Both packed on considerable size during their last week, hopefully it translates to higher dry weight. Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight and smoke report.
