Week5 Vegetative steering Day 29 ————- 4 minute shots(220+-ml). 50-60klux 68 leaf temp Defoliated/Lollipopped Plants seem to be inefficiently spaced. I moved them all closer and they are now positioned better under the lights ———— Day 30 VPDis about a .95 Vegetative steering schedule for 3gal who drink a little over a quart a day 220 P1 440 P1 660 P1 880 P1 1000 P1 1220 P2 1330(1%)P3 I achieve runoff at end of P1 then do a maintenance shot and finish the day off with a watering. P1 waters every 15 min starting 1.5hours after lights on Plants are swelling. But not as well as when i use CO2. I think plants in flower still need co2 so that we can get these lights closer.(as long as the leaf(temp does not go over 80 and vpd stays good) Also, i found a plant to have hermied in week 2 so i removed the pollen sac and rubbed some pollen on 2 plants. Seems like they are just starting to take form on the flowers. **need to check for hermies beginning week 2** Am happy to get seeds from these ladies as this was very isolated in the grow ________________ Day 31 Plants are starting to frost. Group1 has swelled the most Group 2 has average growth and nice frost Group 3 looks like it was over dosed. *Bras&MJ study shows that MJ does mot need to be sprayed with Bras as it will over stress the plants. Brass was completely fine to spray without having adverse reactions. MJ seems to decrease yields but is a worthy tradeoff(will continue to use)-* ————— Day 32 Sprayed 2 plants with MJ(they now have been sprayed both week 4&6) Sprayed 3 with bras(also have been sprayed twice in flower) Finally frosting On the plants

Girls are growing very quickly. Definitely ready to put into flower by the end of this week. These are the fastest growing ladies I have ever had the opportunity to tend to. The feed will be going up to 700 ppm before this week is done. I will also be adding some bloom nutes into that mixture.. Had some slight bleaching on the tips of a couple plant that were directly under the lamp. Reason being the darn ladies are growing so quick, and I forgot to raise the light one day..My bad... Thanks goes out to Kannabia for the opportunity to try their strains. You guys rock...👍👍👍 Sept 20 Fed the ladies at 650 ppm 1.3 ec and the ph was set at 5.5. Runoff came out at 700 ppm 1.4 ec and the ph is at 5.9 Sept 21 Girls are growing rapidly and ready to switch over to flower now. Most have hit the 18" mark now. Will be setting the timer to 12 12 today Sept 23 Fed the ladies 700 ppm 1.4 ec of floranova grow, ph'ed at 5.6 Runoff waters came out at 800 ppm 1.6 ec and the ph is sitting at 6.0

Plant is doing well, its definitely slow to grow buds, but all the stems have multiple bud sites with lots of pistils, some trichomes are just starting to develop. Cant wait to watch true buds form this week! Ill be doing a water change on saturday, and upping the PK booster "big bud" Its the end of week 4, and there are tons of sugar leaves forming on the colas, true buds are starting, and theres decent trichomes forming. Most of the main tops are super close to the lights, but theyre not burning because I turned down the intensity after noticing minor burn last week

We’ve now reached the third week of flowering, and I’m thrilled with how well my plant is doing! I adjusted the nutrients recently, and it’s definitely made a difference. The plant seems to be thriving, and the leaves are showing a vibrant green, indicating that it’s getting exactly what it needs. Even more exciting, the trichomes are starting to form all over the buds, and there’s no shortage of them! It’s amazing to see so many trichomes developing this early on, giving the plant a frosty look already. The overall growth is still going strong, and the buds are getting fuller. I’m really happy with the progress so far and can’t wait to see how things continue in the coming weeks. I hope this nutrient adjustment keeps everything on track for a great harvest!💚🌱

I had to remove some yellowing leaves... I am not sure if the plant is just too tightly packed around the edges or if I am not feeding her enough nutrients. I have started giving her BioBizz Grow (1st last night) since I've read it is mostly just molasses and should be supplied not only during "growth" - e.g. the vegetative phase. On the buds - the leave edges have started to turn a nice shade of purple. I usually only water exactly the required amount - so 1l for my 15l pot. At the beginning of this week I decided to do a small flush - as per grow question recommendation. I only used 25l to my not completely full 15l pot (I am guessing 10-12l earth) with rain-water and checked the runoff: PH=6. PPM dropped from 1800 to <400ppm at the end. She has started to smell very tropical the last few days... With humidity levels hitting 80% outside - my little 25W dehumidifier can't keep up... I keep my fans on and hope for the best. Soil is still wet from the flush - might try the Seedhunter's recommendation and not water for 5 days. Looking back - I really should have noticed the whitening tips 2 weeks ago... last week I should have made the connection of "burnt leaf tips = overfeeding" - but nooo. =) I have been making the same mistake as with my last grow - I watered exactly what she was drinking... 1l/24h. So salt could build up and the magic marker is 10 weeks. This is when "watering wrong" shows... Day 87 (Friday): still no signs of drought stress so I will water with low nutrients maybe tomorrow... I got this tipp from Greenhouse Seed Co. / Seedhunters plus check this out if you are coming from academia: https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/article/3-tips-for-controlled-drought-stress-cannabis/ The tropical smell is noticeably less now... Day 88: watered for the first time after 5 days with ~3l of rain water - and some nutrients. There is a lot more purple on the upper leaves now.

I'm just winging it out to see what's going to happen but so far so good I think.

Just starting this week,she looks good and healthy. Still a lot of heat but she is doing fine. Managed to get a LED 1200w. Worked well because it helped me to cool down my tent.

🌱 Germination Report – Lava Cake (Zamnesia Seeds) Grower: Dog Doctor Genetics: Lava Cake Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Germination Medium: Cannakan with plain water Additives: Aptus Holland Regulator + Start Booster ⸻ Germination Setup: For this germination round, we used the Cannakan system, a reliable and efficient method to start seeds. Inside the Cannakan, we added plain water, and we labeled the laminate clearly with the genetics: Lava Cake from Zamnesia Seeds. To enhance the environment and support the seeds in their first vital hours, we mixed in two trusted products from Aptus Holland: • Regulator – This product supports cell wall strength and resilience, helping young plants handle early-stage stress and adapt to their environment quickly. • Start Booster – A biostimulant designed to promote early root development and vigorous initial growth. It kickstarts the root zone with beneficial ingredients that mimic natural processes. ⸻ 🌱 Germination Results: All three Lava Cake seeds successfully germinated—strong, healthy starts! Signs of life appeared in less than 48 hours, with the seeds showing little white root tips, ready to grow. At this point, they were transferred to soil. Within another 24 hours, the seedlings had already begun to emerge from the soil, standing tall with visible cotyledons and ready for the next chapter. The process was smooth and stress-free, just how we like it. ⸻ 🌿 Selection Plan: From the three healthy seedlings, the plan is to select the two strongest individuals to carry forward. We’ll focus on their growth and traits to ensure we get the best expressions from this Lava Cake run. ⸻ 🎥 New Series Launch – Coming Soon!

She’s stalled and started fading, not sure if she’s just taking nutrients from the leaves to build buds or if she’s getting close to finish. Trichomes are all clear so I’m gonna test the soil and then decide what to do from there. Either way, she’s beautiful and she smells amazing! Like a tropical cheese skunk.

Hello happy Growers! This week was better than early, I've founded few very litle banana spend the week, I will continue to check this week, Harvest will be in 2 or 3 weeks, I hope can take situation under control untill harvest. If banana start to be too big, I'll remove the branch. If no, buds start to be compact, Nice sweet smeel and sticky, Probably my last fertilizer week, after I'll start flush Plant start to take less water, sign harvest for soon :) Have a good week my friends

Can’t argue with the yield with no added bloom booster and a over feed of cal mag which stalled a week too.

Been a slow week. Been trying to fill out as much of the Scrooge as I can. I will be defoliating in a couple days. I still want to see if any more sites will reach above the trellis. The feeding is still the same 4g B1/B2 of Floraflex and 2gs of Bulky B per gallon. Thank you all again for tuning in to my diary see you all again next week.

Bubble OG Gum auto is doing great. She took to the neem oil treatment good. I usually do it a few times. I only did it once, but soaked everything for a good 30 mins. So hopefully tge pest stay gone till I can get to the finish. Everything is looking great, and she will likely be ready for a solution change in about a week. Thank you Athena, Spider Farmer, and Ganja Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Milky Way F1 grew so nice, this run was pretty automatic! Plant 2 grew big, and she had the least amount of problems in the cycle. LST worked well on her, even though I got there late.

This new LED’s from futur vert is the best of the best !! Worth every penny

Dane, We all should help one another. Human beings are like that. We should live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Grow High and Give the world A smile. Have A Great Day. What n°2 is lacking is n°1 compensating, (day 11, dont know what to do ph is right ppm is right themperature is ok light is ok should be recovering within 3-4 days i hope.) roots are already grown into water bucket.(should i picture them as well?) ph lv is such a pain in the ass but grow speed is worth all the trouble in hydro. (16 n°2 still not good i placed another one next to her with luck she recovers if not another one already in place to grow) (19 all hope is lost she probably doesent make it i set replacement already so waiting for her sisters to pop out and take over) (20 it is the same water in the buckets so im a little lost why one explode and the other one not,) (21 n°2 complete reset, new water, new nutrients new clay. probably died cause to shock now)

Day 67 buds getting bigger and bigger. One plants is definitely can see nugs swelling and other starting to also. Prob has another two weeks I like a couch like high so wanna harvest little later.but have my jeweler loop to check teicroms. The smell is crazy a sweet and skunky smell.when you touch the nugs smell fruity sweet aroma. Day 71 end of week 6. Everything seems to be going well. I know one plants will be ready before others just when is the questions. Got some good answers on grow questions so thinking at least a week. But I will keep checking trichromes. The look kind milky but not Ambers yet. Going to start flushing here on out.

Week 8 for GMO 8 Auto by atlasseed Shes been bulking up nicely especially the smaller plant. I thought id add some picture of the sister GMO ive also got going in a bigger 25L pot for you guys to see the size difference between the two plants. The bigger one will be going outdoors today to make room for the other plants going into flower. Still only got fed twice this week with a bit of (WCA) Water Soluble Calcium & (FFJ) Fermented fruit juice for its last few weeks of life now.
