Defoliating more often than expected, plants just fill in the canopy so quick this run. Slurricane didnโ€™t stretch much and stayed on the shorter side overall so I elevated them with a riser underneath the middle two pots. Royal Jelly and PKBR easily doubled in height during stretch bringing them to a little over 3 ft. Heavy water need during the stretch for those two so I made sure to avoid overwatering the Slurricanes which were gentler sippers. All phenos were successfully cloned (my first attempt at cloning). Kept them in the humidity dome sitting longer than I wouldโ€™ve liked before up-potting but I realized most of my clones were cut too long and were getting strangled from growing by the dome. In the future, ill take my cuts shorter and be ready to up-pot after about 2 weeks

I was going to upload the process, but the wiser side of me said no. So I've edited it out and some of the evaporation process can be seen. Bho/wax/honey whatever we care to call it

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX โ€“ BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way โ€” first week running without them) ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ ๐Ÿ’ง 30 L Barrel โ€“ Current Working Mix ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿถ Step 1 โ€“ Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35โ€“40 ยฐC) โ†’ added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. Thatโ€™s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 โ€“ FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel โ†’ added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 โ€“ Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring โ€” no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. ๐ŸŒฟ Step 4 โ€“ FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) โ‰ˆ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone โ€” looks alive and active. ๐Ÿ‹ Step 5 โ€“ Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Step 6 โ€“ Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water โ†’ pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green โ€” roughly 5.8 โ€“ 6.0 range.

She might need one more week, but 2 branches broke down do to the weight of buds, so might harvest her soon. Buds are really big and juicy. This could be my new record on one plant.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de crecimiento de estas Papayton feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lรญo ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 16h de luz, el foco estรก al 50% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color, estaban muy bien enraizadas al realizarle el trasplante se notaba la abundancia radicular. Agradecer a Agrobeta por el kit Gold series que mandaron, siempre os portรกis, unos maestros. - os dejo por aquรญ un Cร“DIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquรญ todo, Buenos humos ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ

Day 38 Now Californian Snow is the tallest :) Ztrawberry stopped at a perfect height, it looks like she's gonna develop into a beautiful lady. Fat white pistils all over ๐Ÿ˜ป Day 39 Happy girl got 2500ml cm bg bb bh 6.3ph ~1EC She is perfect, symmetrical, stopped stretching at about 50cm, flowers are mostly leveled, branches are strong, leaves point up unless I water. I think she's also turning purple. Beaut ๐Ÿ˜ป Day 42 I think I saw some burnt tips but she still looks super happy and healthy. The most vigorous plant I've had.

19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- โ™ก 2ml Cal-Mag โ™ก 2ml Ecothrive Flourish โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster โ™ก 2ml Biobizz Bloom โ™ก 2ml Biobizz Top Max โ™ก 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. ๐Ÿ™„ I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: โ™ก 60% Canna coco โ™ก 20% Worm castings โ™ก 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- โ™ก 10g Ecothrive Biosys โ™ก 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules โ™ก 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano โ™ก 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth โ™ก 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon โ™ก 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. โ™ก 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. โ€ขWorm castings for some all round nutrition. โ€ขCinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. โ€ขCanna coco base substrate. โ€ขPerlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. โ€ขGreen Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. โ€ขVitalink bat guano again for Bloom. โ€ขRHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. โ€ขEcothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. โ€ขDiatomaceous earth for Silica. โ€ขEcothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial Thanks for checking out my diary ๐Ÿƒ โœŒ๏ธ

Flora Kleen) Putting the plant in the new res I saw some little bugs in the container. Hope this is not a problem. I'm going to make the flush until 7-10 days for final ripening. Tomorrow I will add to the res about 2ml/L of Ripen until the end. Today parameters are: EC: 268 PH: 6,2 ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Lesson Learned: AVOID THE BUGS WITH THE YELLOW TREES ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ @20/06 Added 40ml of Final Part (Ripen).

Automatic Royal Amnesia is growing at a rate that we really like a lot and with a very stable and orderly regularity. We made the topping leaving 2 floors of branches underneath that one as our usual style. She looks really strong, healthy and very beautiful.
