8/14/23 - Day 62 - The buds are getting bigger and starting to connect. There are so many buds so close together that for sure these are bound to be big buds. I'm noticing the smell is starting to get stronger as well. The roots are still looking great. We did another water change today, a couple of days late. I just forgot to do it. There are some pictures in here of my RO Water Setup. I have a water hose that I hook to the RO unit, and then it passes a 1:1 ration of water to wastewater. Right now, it's all done manually by me, but I have plans to make it automatic. I had to throw this update in as I was sitting at my computer. I opened the door to where the box is, and my wife said, "WHOA..... things are going well in there, huh?". I was in the room doing some peaking in the box. I then closed the door and went inside. My wife yelled that out from the other room, triggered by using her nose..... lol So now I need to air the room out before I open the door to leave after visiting the box. Lol, I need an airlock of sorts! I actually have a carbon filter and inline fan I could hook up and run when I walk into the room. I can have it turn off after X number of minutes......Looks like another project! 8/15/23 - Quick update. Today is day 63! 8/16/23 - Day 64 - Overnight, she looks much bigger. The buds are looking like the Hulk right now. We're going to hit it with some more nutes these next couple of weeks. If you are looking for this experience, check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Ok, so it's slowly getting thicker and frostier. At week seven my girl could be ready in anywhere from two weeks to four weeks more. The light was dropped closer to the top of the canopy. I decided to try 15 cm of distance, as well four 50W LEDs are not as powerful as the 600W HID or LED panels that are usually used in grow tents. I will of course keep an eye for signs of light and heat stress, but I suspect that won't be a problem. Update Day 89. Today I decided to turn the plant around to see the back colas and their growth. Then I found some mites under the leaves after examining weird spots in a couple of leaves. It seems to me that there was not enough airflow to deter the mites from making home in the back leaves, when compared to the front leaves of my plant. Lesson learnt, rotate plant often, ensure good and even airflow. I didn't find any webs beside a really small one seen on the video (most affected leaf). So, I think I found them mites early. I only found this kind of damage on very few leaves, and each leave contained less than 8 mites (at least that I could see) and a couple of eggs. So it seems that paying close attention to my leaves saved me from an out of control infestation. Anyhow... I removed all of the leaves that had even a single mite, or a single mark of discoloration. Also, I disinfected the grow tent, top of soil and lower part of the branches by spraying them with a 1/4 tbsp of bleach per liter of water. After that was completely dry, I mixed one part rubbing alcohol with 9 parts water and misted both sides of the leaves and even the buds directly (ethanol evaporates easily, so there shouldn't be residues left after it dries completely). I got these remedies from https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/how-to-get-rid-of-spider-mites I will apply them every 3-4 days and keep a good eye on the leaves. Prevention is key, and some aspects I could've considered before are: 1. not grow any other plant next to my cannabis 2. Don't come into my indoor growtent after tending my outdoor plants. 3. Ensure even and plenty airflow. So, I attacked back strongly. I cut more leaves than those that showed damage, to increase airflow. I will be on the watch for pests and will rotate my plant often, as well as spraying a few times every week, just to make sure they don't come back. I also am going to build a kind of metal wire cage to separate the colas further and make it harder for any pest to spread. Its only my second grow, but from what I've read online about mites, it's way more costly (time and money) to deal with an infestation than to strike them hard early. I guess that specially now that I noticed them before they even made webs. Look closely at your girls growbros ! Update day 90. So this morning I. Becker the trichomes and they seem to have gotten more cloudy. I am not an expert at that, but they are starting to be fewer clear and more milky. I will keep an eye on them, but it think harvest might be here very soon, probably closer to the 9 week mark than to the 12 week one (I'm about to finish the 7th week)...

D42 F6 One week of 12/12 and she's stretching out real nice. I'll start to feed them from week 7. I've defoliated the central cola to allow the sides to catch up.

Added yellow sticky fly traps to all cubes as a preventative measure to avoid infestation of fungus gnats. So far none have been spotted. Defoliated and did a little more LST to all the plants to open up the center and give more light to lower shoots. Blue Dream 3 and Chemdawg 3 started showing some discoloration on the leaves (yellowing around the veins) and also the leaf tips curling down. Did some research and came up with this... Possible diagnosis: - Yellowing around leaf veins could be a sign of Magnesium or Iron deficiency - Leaf tip curling down could be a sign of Nitrogen Toxicity. - Both could be caused by improper ph balance in water Possible solutions: - Applied Botanicare CalMag+ as a foliar feed and added some to the reservoir. CalMag+ contains Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. - Diluted nutrients in reservoir to lower amount of nitrogen being fed to plants. Was feeding them at 1300ppm, lowered it to 1050ppm - Tested runoff and saw it was coming out at 5.4pH so I increased the pH in the reservoir to 6.0. Now the runnoff is testing at 5.7pH, meaning that my rootzone is in the optimal range of 5.5-5.8 Well wait and see how the plants react to these slight tweaks. Hopefully we start to see a nice healthy even green again.

Just sitting here watching the frost and weight pack on. All of the top leaves are starting to die as I back off on nutrients. I'm going to finish them for one more week with water and floral kleen. I'm really pleased with the appearance of these plants using Oregon's Only Nectar for the Gods Basic lineup.

Неделя прошла как и планировалось. Вовремя в начале недели понизил яркость ламп, это остановило разрушение старых листьев от переизбытка магния и нехватки кальция. Ко всему прочему снизило быстрый стретч и позволило гнуть ветки, так как они снизили скорость утолщения. Одна из веток на 4-ом этаже лопнула от основного ствола, пришлось делать целу систему из растяжек, чтобы и гнуть можно было, и чтобы транспортная мозоль могла образоваться. В высоту прибавии только 2 см, это из-за того что основной ствол еще больше получил утолщение и немного вытянулся в длинну, остальные 8 веток несчастно гнутся и разводятся по сторонам. PPM также 700 как на влив, так и в дренаже, то есть питается отлично, проблем нет вообще никаких, старые листья не стали прогрессировать в образовании ржавчины и продолжают жить и пахнуть. Новые листья правильной формы и без эффекта "преднизалона". Утром запах как в хвойном лесу. Не смотря на свои 30 дней от роду, пахнет довольно сильно, и это не смотря на то что даже не цветет. Склоняюсь к тому, чтобы начать переводить на цветение, как раз за неделю ветки подрастут, вытянутся и будем иметь красиво сформировавшийся куст. Спасибо что заглянули. Без вас вести дневник не имеет смысла. Всем удачи!

Did a full leaf strip on everything this week, the pics and videos were taken 2 days ago I just havnt got around to uploading them. Everything bounced right back after the strip but the pots arent drying out as fast and humidity went down a little bit. Use the code bangdang for 10% the following sponsors.. @greenbuzzliquids @rainscience_growbags  @gorilla_grow_tent  @growlightscience.led

The plant responded well to topping. There is a pencil shape to her, both tops very close together, so I used the clips to LST them in a move constructive direction. Considering she is 3 days older than my Northern Lights, it's quite astonishing for me to see the differences between them. I also went ahead and topped the two tops again. This time by rolling the centre heart out. Thereby eliminating the stress. I want to give her the best chance against my Northern Lights, as she has 7 tops now. Watering with Ecothrive Biosys: .5g/2 litres. I water 2 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4, whenever the pot dries out. Usually about 3-4 days. Looking good, if a little strange. Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

We enter the magical moment and do it with a surprise, we will be for a lot of time in collaboration with Marshydro and thanks to this we have a brand new light setup and truly top tent. The two Dark Phoenix are coming to the end. The first plant the most regular with a topping to 16 pounds has raised and inflated well and regularly all 16 and practically they are more or less at the same level at the time they are going to do the final sprint they scare. Beautiful peaks see them mature will be a joy. The second plant had a problem with the leaves I think a deficiency or excess of something, I am doing a pH 6 flush to make the nuts absorb and give an enahcer bang before the end. There are both and looks like the top. Immediately after the Flush the last wintered with Enahncer is scheduled and then only Flush. LIGHT >> MARSHYDRO SP3000 AT 100% OF POWER, we already like it so much because it covers the intact length of the tent. Tent >> Marshydro 120x60x180 CHECK IG >> https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/ Buy >> marshydroled.aliexpress.com GD >> https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/mars-hydro

Last week of flower I will be harvesting these three females Friday night . Been a fun grow glad it’s coming to an end so I can finally dry, cure , and taste. Really excited to try each one they each have unique smells. I’m letting these girls goto day 63 , I’ve been checking the trichomes and I feel like the BBxPBB could be a 8 week strain , ima try another grow with her after my Ethos Forbidden Zkittles run, I love the way the BBxPBB did in veg and flower I feel like I can get a little more out of it i missed a few feedings for 2 weeks had a newborn and wasn’t up on the feeding like I should the buds on the BBxPBB are a little airy and they have packed some weight at the end last two weeks . I will be upgrading my light next grow and will try to run them one more time , looking around November for the next BBxPBB run . I have a few buddies growing some outdoors so I will update this entry in October when they are harvested . The Ethos Punchberry Cookies was easy grower , finished really well , buds are rock solid and have great structure , each one has different small , one has a fruity sweet tart smell the other smells like a rotten banana with a hint of fruit punch on it , the BBxPBB seems to have taken on more of the blueberry smell has a hint of gas smell or rubber, smells great

I'm impressed with this C4 Auto, from fastbuds this is one of two plants I grew. This plant is a real indoor plant she grows lovely. The other plant is an outdoor plant it's pretty too don't get me wrong but where i thought the outdoors would produce a bigger plant i got the opposite of that, I got a Mutated plant, nice colored bud on here but she continues to mutate even in flowering stage my indoor plant is twice her height and size but love both my C4 Auto from fastbuds. Even if they broke my heart by changing payment policy, I'll never be able to get seeds from fastbuds again so I decided to spray my runt on the outdoors with tiresias mist feminized seed spray..... hopefully I get some pollen and able to pollinate my indoor C4 Auto..

Woche drei der Blüte und alles Bestens! Aufgrund der dichten Struktur habe ich die Pflanze an Blütetag 19 großzügig ausgedünnt. Bei photoperiodischen warte ich damit bis mind. Blütetag 21. Die kleine Auto Blueberry Banana scheint aber schon recht weit, daher habe ich hier keine Bedenken. Seit Mitte der Woche scheinen die Blattspitzen etwas Überdüngung anzuzeigen. Der Drain mit Osmosewasser bei ph 6,4 und 20 microSiemens hat ph6,7 und 800microSiemens. Setze die Stickstoffgabe etwas herab indem ich Hesi Blüte reduziere und pk13/14 ergänzend zuführe. Erhöhe somit gleichzeitig Phosphor und Kalium.

Lots of growth this week. Continuing to train around the pot. The plants are responding well to nutes with little to no nutrient burn so far. Upped the amount this week so will keep watching. Probably veg for another 3 weeks then kick into flower.

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 71 дней. Был в отъезеде, не поливал. В связи этим растение не много подсохло. Как придёт в чувства. переведу на цвет. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 4.6 дней На сегодняшний день влажность 54% 26 дней назад заметил высокий Ph 7.9 С 48 дня Ph не ниже 5.8 На сегодняшний день Ph 6.0 Начал кормить с 60 дня Canna Terra Vega PPM 550 Погладитель влажности, выполняет свои функции. Посмотрю на динамику. Всем мира и добра! https://t.me/smail_seeds #Smail_Seeds

Very enjoyable grow, awesome cultivar, this is what I work for, my nuggets have been grown with love and dedication and the final result is a a plant that has been very thankful and she has provided me amazing sticky flower with those red hairs that I love so much, very strong cerebral buzz, sativa high definitely, makes me remember a lot sour diesel, definitely super pungent loud 🔊 aroma coming from the jars but she was stinking the grow tent when she was there, amazing strain!
