October 28, 2021 Doing my weekly diary updates a couple days early this week. This weekend I'm doing some work on the basement to finally finish the last of the construction projects for the Dude Cave!!! Once finished, I have a new 2x3 tent and a Viparspectra XS2000 (240w LED) that will be set up next week. Then I'll run the 2x3 for veg/autos and the 2x4 for photos. I spoke with Dylan from Coast of Maine today about my experience and issues with these girls. He said with a 3 gallon pot the Stonington Blend would only feed for around 3 weeks and additional nutrition should be fed starting around the 3rd week. He recommended the Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food as a top dress and then also adding Fish Bone Meal around week 6 (assuming autoflower and 10-12 weeks seed to harvest). He also said to go seed to harvest with the Stonington Blend adding water only would require at least 7-10 gallon pots for autos. Well, I already knew they were malnourished/underfed and I have been feeding Fox Farm Big Bloom and Neptunes Harvest Fish and Seaweed. I'm not sure how much these nutes may help at this point, but they can't hurt. I really have nothing to lose here, so let's see what they look like next week.

I trimmed her after 1 week of drying. A few days sooner than normal but shes at a spot I feel comfortable putting in jars and keeping close eye on so I can keep the flower on the moist end of the dry scale. I smoked some and already very flavorful but a tad harsh. After a week they should be at a decent smokable condition.

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad and feed/water. ********* I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprayer gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic they use sprayers to create. It’s great. ********* The larger gorilla glue has come around but I lost a few nodes. I’m seeing a little PMD, but I’ve been knocking it back when baking soda and water. I’ve been taking scalps, defoliating the big one gently and the little ones need almost daily lollipopping. I’m watching my ph and using more cal mag. I definitely feel like they are two different phenotypes.I have them on individual diets. ********** Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower. I will update video tomorrow when I have access to faster upload speeds. ********** Added videos!

Day 71 - Starting week 11 today and gave her a feeding of nutes. She was pretty thirsty and took almost 2 full gallons of water. I did remove a few more fan leaves today and did check the pH runoff and came down a little bit, sitting right at 7.0. I’m thinking she’s down to the last couple weeks so might give her one more feeding of nutes then flush her out and just give water till the end. Day 72 - She’s still fattening up more each day and enough that I can notice the difference every time I look at her. I did notice a few leaves towards the top that are starting to fade to an off color so hopefully she’ll hold out and continue to fatten until harvest but I’ll keep an eye on her. Day 73 - Nothing new to report today, just pulled her out to tuck some leaves and check the trichs. Still quite a bit of clear but some milky in there. Most of the pistils are starting to turn orangish/red. She might be getting down to the last two weeks or so but I’ll let the trichs tell me when she’s ready. Definitely won’t be giving her anymore nutrients, just straight water from here on out. Day 74 - Nothing new again today, she’s looking and smelling great. I think two weeks tops left. Pistils are almost all shriveled up and an orangish/red color and mostly milky but still a few clear in there. She’ll be ready for some water tomorrow. Day 75 - Checking the trichs today, she’s actually just about ready to harvest. I gave her a good watering of plain water today and the PPM is down to about 700 right now. I’ll give her a few days to dry out then I will flush her with foxfarm’s Sledgehammer and wait for her to tell me she’s ready.

By the looks of the trichomes this girl is ready I will let it go one more week because the weather forecast seems to be sunny but if anything changes to Everyday rain I would chopper her down to protect the flower. Thank you for reading and I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Tangie'matic showed me that she was in it for the long haul right from the start. This was my first time topping an autoflower and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out - but each time she took on stress, she pushed back even stronger. I topped her once at the 5th node, and then used some low stress training to create this beautiful canopy. She really grew like a dream! Partway through flower I had to move my grow tent from my second-floor bedroom to my not quite warm enough basement. I had assumed that the heat from the grow lights would have compensated, but it didn't take me long to realize how wrong I was. This poor plant had her reservoir and atmospheric temperatures dropped with no warning. She held in there while I figured out how to get the environment closer to desirable and less feeling like a frozen tundra. In the mish mash of environmental flux, some of her buds began to foxtail. This was my first time seeing this happen; so despite the fact that it's not desirable, seeing foxtailing happen with my own buds for the first time was actually kind of cool. After the environmental woes were corrected, she stacked even more. Her buds nice and dense with a citrus fragrance complimented by some subtle skunky undertones. Before harvest I changed out her reservoir and gave her a 4 day flush along with 48 hours of darkness. When I opened the tent on harvest day I was punched in the face with a beautiful fragrance of mandarin that instantly lifted the corners of my mouth into a sweet smile of satisfaction. I cut her down and hung her to dry in my climate controlled closet holding a perfect 69.8°F and 55% RH. Six days later her buds were ready for the jars. Her dry buds gave me 8.8oz/250g of quality bud and an additional 2.9oz/82g of popcorn buds. Just being in jars for 24 hours has REALLY brought out even a stronger citrus aroma that is just a true pleasure to take in. Will update with more after the cure and first smoke experience. ✌️💜🌱0000

Hello again guys and welcome to day 89! The girls are taking their time but finally the trichomes are turning milky. As you can see from the videos, they still aren’t quite there yet. I really want them to reach their maximum potential instead of rushing it. I think in maybe a week or so they should be ready! Thanks for stoping by

Third week in bloom. Everything is going well. My only concern is that I have defoliated too much and my humidity is too high. Difficult to get it down when it's just raining outside. I'll see what happens... 19.12.2023 I've made some space and flanged my old 60x60x120cm tent on the right site and switched on another PC fan. I hope I haven't made a serious mistake. All fans repositioned. And everything is taped off so that no light comes in. That was too crowded. Next time 4 or 5 will be enough for me.

09.11.2025 – BT8 Die Pflanzen wurden erneut bewässert. Das Düngerschema in Blütewoche 2 bleibt unverändert und entspricht weiterhin dem der ersten Woche. Mittlerweile konnten bereits einige Triebe der Clementine Slush in das SCROG-Netz eingefädelt werden. 11.11.2025 – BT10 Da mir das Bewässern mit meiner Akkulanze aufgrund des starken Wachstums in der Blütephase zunehmend auf die Nerven ging – und ich die Pflanzen derzeit nicht entlauben kann – habe ich mir eine kleine Bewässerungshilfe gebaut. An jedem Topf wurden vier Bewässerungsdüsen angebracht. So muss ich nun nur noch den Knopf der Akkulanze betätigen, und das Wasser verteilt sich gleichmäßig im gesamten Topf. Die Akkulanze konnte ich mit dem Bewässerungssystem koppeln – mehr dazu demnächst!

[DAY 64] - 3/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 40-50%; - EC 1.7 - PH 6; started with EC 1.7 and after 24 hours EC is 1.95; - 73 cm height; - LST on 4 branches to open the canopy; - Removed some damaged leaves; - Added new PH down: CANNA PH DOWN BLOOM (instead PH DOWN by GHE). I prefer GHE, it seemed more effective; - Let's see what happen this week, I want to see big flower by the end of this week; next one I'll add Bloombastic again; - A lot of leaves with yellowed tips, I hope it is not suffering excessively the temperatures. [DAY 65] - 4/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 30°/31° - RH 50%; - EC 2 - PH 6; tomorrow I add lighter solution to keep EC to 1.7; - In the last couple days I noticed plant drank less than usual, the half. I guess it was very stressed due defoliation, but seems to be recovering well. - Today I did bit defoliation and in the coming days I let the plant rests, then we'll see if another defoliation is still needed. I don't want to exaggerate. [DAY 66] - 5/8/2022 - Lamp 40 cm from the center of the canopy (20 cm from the top) and 100% dimmer (144 watt); - TEMP. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - EC 1.7- PH 6; tomorrow I add lighter solution to keep EC to 1.6; - Did a growquestion about some brown spots on some leaves: https://growdiaries.com/grow-questions/49286-brown-spots-on-some-leaves. [DAY 67] - 6/8/2022 - Lamp as yesterday; - TEMP. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - Plant is having problems. It is drinking little and I believe it drinks very few nutrients. For this reason I did a DWC change and added a lighter solution (EC 1). Despite this, the EC is continuing to rise. I hope it recovers soon! If tomorrow it continues to rise, I try to further dilute the solution. - Added a new better quality video. [DAY 68] - 7/8/2022 - Lamp as usual; - Temp. 31°/32° - RH 60%; - EC still rising, that's the reason why I added 2 l. demineralized water to bring EC to 1.1; - Solution in DWC at the moment has this composition: Silicate 0.25 g/l - Calmag: 0.25 ml/l - A: 0.8 ml/l - B: 1.6 ml/l up to EC 0.94 - Bloom stim. 0.5 ml/l and Bloombastic up to EC 1.05. [DAY 69] - 8/8/2022 - Lamp as usual; - Temp. 32° - RH 50%; - EC 1.2, almost blocked all day long. Added 2 l. dem. water to lower EC a little bit; - I guess plant is drinking about 2 l. of solution / day, good! [DAY 70] - 9/8/2022 - Lamp as usual, I'm planning to lower it near the tallest bud (from 20 cm to 15 cm) to reach better the lower bud sites - Temp. 30° - RH 50%; - Last day of this week, some problems last days.

Last week, first of flowering, was outstanding, I could water the girls regulary and the work paid off they stretched a lot and are looking super healthy. The girl right below the upper fan is suffering a bit with the shadows and is notoriously shorter than her sisters, I will need to rethink the air circulation for the next grow. Another concern of mine is their height, hoping they dont stretch anymore as the lights are already at maximum possible height inside tent and there is only 20cm gap between it and the plants.

*********Week 6 - January 13 to 19, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) This is going to be a brief update but that’s a good thing 😀 The week went by pretty quick and overall it was great progress. She stood up more and her bud sites set in and are starting to stack.👍 Her colour holding nice and her leaves are still pretty wide work up. Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of leaves that were blocking. Took off a couple of low nodes as well. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has a very thick main stem. It bends right away but a “quarter” roughly in diameter. Should help hold all that bud😎👍 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants 3L and approaching 1 gal a day. Note for week 2......also noted by breeder.😱🙏 Following the breeder notes I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Don’t want to use CalMag much longer though because she already gets lots of nitrogen. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full week for sure. If she runs a full 9 weeks then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 7....that next week! Therefore, even if I push it I will likely only go another week and a half of feeding😟😓😕 Crap time goes fast!!!!!! Gonna have to ensure she is wet and happy👌 Little more detail: Jan 13/20 - Day 36 - 1L feeding of Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo Juice @ 2ml/L. Not pH’d......water been running 6.3. this was in the AM - PM feeding 2L only Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L, Liquid Weight and Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 575ppm pH 5.8. - trying out the Green Planet line so I introduced Massive this week. - lowered temps in room at night. Down to 65 degrees. - notice couple of brown spots here and there about 3. Noted for now as raising the pH already for flower. Jan 14/20 - Day 37 - Hit her harder today with full strength feed. 5.95pH - Pots were light so 3L feed. - Rhino Skin back in for some more silica. - Didn’t go......holly crap she got big last night😮😮.....but she is filling in her width. Jan 15/20 - Day 38 - 2L feed today. Only giving base nutrients and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L pH 6.1. - drinking more now and she doesn’t give run-off before 2L minimum. - keep an eye on the ppm not getting too high and consider increasing her moisture. Jan 16/20 - Day 39 - 3L full feed today. - want to strip a bunch of her leaves!!!! Keep tucking the leaves but even those stems are stubborn.....good problems👍😝 Jan 17/20 - Day 40 - She is hungry :) - 3L feed full strength. - runoff water: 1100ppm, 5.9pH........medium in good shape:) - Good growth last night....liked the nutes👊 - In the tent with only Green Poison is giving a little extra room and she is loving it. Jan 18/20 - Day 41 - She was not dry in the AM but rather inbetween. - watering with supplementals.......Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Weight, VeloKelp, Piranha, Voodoo....and CalMag. - 2L with 240ppm and 6.2pH - nothing in PM.....pots still wet......she is looking for 3L per day still roughly. - They are growing taller......top of tallest nodes falling to sleep sooner at night. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 23” tall and 27” wide......with LST. Jan 19/20 - Day 42 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again. - runoff: 1125ppm and 6.0pH. - stripped two lower nodes and 1 huge fan leaf. - her buds are getting wider and taller....filling in😎 - she is happy....keep the same and don’t change things......less than two weeks feed left. Have a great week fellow growers.......

Amended the soil today with 3 tablespoons (aka 9 tsp 😉) 4-4-4, and 3 tablespoons 2-8-4 I haven't given them any more banana tea than the one watering but I plan to this week! They really seems to pump out pistils then so hopefully they'll enjoy another fruity beverage In 3-4 weeks, I will amend with 5 tablespoons of 2-8-4 power bloom Overall, I'm beyond impressed with these girls and Fastbuds all around. These forbidden runtz are very piney and minty smelling I can't wait to taste these terps 🤸‍♀️🏼
