The organic girl got transplanted in 7l pot with all-mix biobizz soil at the beginning of the week. The first watering after that was a week later. The EC of the run-off was on 2.53 as you can see in the picture, so I flushed it with ph(6.5) water mixed with the nuts I mention above(EC 0.32). I flushed until the EC got down to 1.3. I don't want it to get burned again cuz of the high EC in the soil. As of today, day 29, the newly adolescent plant is looking perky again. As far as I can read on the Biobizz bottles, all the nuts have a very acidic ph. That makes sense considering that they are organic and they need to have a long shelf life. No bacteria or fungus will go in such an acidic medium. Therefore I find it essential to increase the ph of the water after adding the nuts. Another thing I noticed is that they now released a CalMag product(finally), which they recommend using especially when using RO water.

Pretty nice plants! They enjoyed the higher amounts of nuts, even though they showed a bit of Nitrogen toxicity, nothing serious, a bit of 'claw' on the new leaves, but they seem to handle it fine so far. They probably tripled in size this week. They got topped the second time this week. They are bushy with thick branches. I hope they will pick up a bit more on hight the next week!

We pulled her down with approx 90% cloudy trics..not a massive harvest and she could have gone an extra week but we're still playing catch up from our hermi ,we also desperately needed the space..I REALLY like this strain, it's easily becoming a favorite...it didn't last very long the firs time lol...the wife gives it a 7 and I'd say it's a firm 8.5 :)

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide 🌱 If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they don’t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LED’s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once they’re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, let’s see if it’s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

Day 45 --> Restart some light LST for the final weeks of Flowering. 🍇 Really intense aromas from stomper n GWK (like sour,sweet grape tannins). ⚠️ In this project we experimented with a super soil like mixture. Biobizz all mix was 65% of the mixture which 1/3 of it was placed on the bottom of the pot and the rest 2/3 was mixed with 35% Canna terra. About 10% perlite was added on the mix and it was sprayed with EM microorganisms (Soil activator). 🏁 The target is a tasty organic flower fed only with tap water and a slow release organic fertilizer(6-3-18) which being applied on the end of the 3rd week and, becomes available to the plants 7 days after. In our case which we transplanted on day 9, we used it on day 30(9+21) from seed. ℹ️ Facts Until the 3rd week plants were growing under LST with no problem (Day 17-19) was when preflower started). In the 4th week development slowed down and initially we though that was due to some drop of temp like midway veg in ➡️ (RQS fem induction). After days were passing and the development of the plants was not satisfying (even though the plants didn't show any symptoms of deficiency or environmental stress) we noticed shiny leaves and dark green colour starting from Stomper#1 which was the smallest plant and was the only one that had some visible burned tips on the leaves. GWK#2 was the only one that did not appear dark green colour or shiny leaves (like SS#1,#2 and GWK#1) but had drooping leaves without having overwatered her or noticing any issues.(Conditions on week 5 and 6 were a bit unstable as the weather got weird and we had high humidity and low temps). Reaching 7th week plant development continues to be average, stems of the most plants became dark red without having low temps inside the tent even though plants look a bit better after they were let to dry a bit more. 🔬 Symptoms 1)Dark shiny leaves 2)Slow growth 3)burn tips 4)Drooping leaves 5) Dark Red stems Matching the pieces of the puzzle we assume that we had NITROGEN TOXICITY and knowing that we do not use any liquid fertilizers it seems that our problem was that our super soil was too "hot" for our baby mephs. If our rooting system of our plants reached the final layer of soil( Biobizz all mix on the bottom of the pot) in the 4th week, it was when it had the highest availability of nitrogen. Availability that seem to be "too hot" for Sour stomper and Grape walker kush in early Flowering. Also in the last weeks we had cold weather so we had an electrical heater on increasing the temp of the room which led to higher temp and transpiration inside the tent.That being said it is likely that due to higher transpiration our plants let higher amount of N to enter the plant and that forced the plants to show us signs of it's toxicity. For a start we let the pots dry to reduce the nitrogen availability and then in Day 45 we water with 6,5 ph tap water + EM microorganisms (700ml each pot). ℹ️ Day 48 : Ideal humidity + temps and the plants have started to drink and eat a lot better the last days. After the second water (700ml) of the week yesterday (D47) with microorganisms only, we find the first signs of deficiency on Sour stomper #2 today. We were expecting this cause our dry fert has only (6-3-18) --> 3 phosphorus (slow release), so our leaves look like having phosphorus and calcium deficiency, we are thinking that the roots locked calcium too with the deficiency of P as these too are collaborating. - So we are going to feed all the plants with organic liquid fert. from Plagron - green sensation PK (9-10) starting with stomper#2. * Every plant in tent has its private watering schedule as the maturity and needs, have changed over the last week. - If the problem continues we'll consider a cal mag solution. * Will be appreciated any comments or same experiences!! Last updated --> Day 49 end of the week.

Day 85 - Starting week 13 and this is by far going to be one of the longest grows I’ve had to date. Going to give her some straight pH’d water tomorrow but still not sure when she’ll finish up. Thinking about 2-3 weeks left but could be longer. Day 86 - Looking really bad today, waited a day longer than I should of for water but gave her 2 gallons of 6.6 pH water today. The buds are getting pretty heavy and causing her to lean quite a bit so will be hooking some of the stem yo-yo’s to help keep her up. Day 87 - Looking a lot better today, leaves are perked back up for the most part. She’s definitely starting to fade and hopefully she’ll make it another two weeks cause the buds are for sure not ready yet. She’s to big now to really pull out every day for pictures so just leaving her in the tent unless she needs water. Day 88 - No really update today, just letting her go to try and use up all the nutes in the soil and leaves and by the looks of her, she’s using them up quickly. Looking forward to her bulking up her remaining couple weeks. Day 89 - She’s still dying off and buds are swelling massively. Can’t really explain the smell coming from her right now but it smells good. Checking trichs all the time but still a few clear in there and pistils are still popping like crazy. Day 90 - Almost the end of week 13 and thinking she’s gonna be chopped sometime during week 15. Gave her 2 gallons of plain 6.5 pH’d water today so she wouldn’t completely wither up on me. Other than that, not much else happening. Day 91 - The end of week 13 and she’s still plumping up. She’s definitely starting to fade out on all the fan leaves so I’m hoping she’ll make it another week and a half or so. If she’s gotta go longer, I’ll let her go as long as she needs to. I’m hoping I didn’t start flushing her to early.

Started Northern Lights Automatic. I will be applying LST so it doesn’t grow too big. Been feeding it RQS Organic Easy Grow tablets. All good so far!

Not the most productive strain in my experience, but the sativa high in the beginning and indica in the end is cool=) Smell - cheese, pinewood and grass. Easy in growing. The plant of this strain likes phosphor during the flowering stage. Finishes to flower quite quickly. One of the top autoflowerings for me now. Не самый урожайный сорт, однако даёт очен сильный сативный хай в начале и индичный стоун в конце. Вкус - сырный сосновый, пряно-травянистый. Очень легок в выращивании, любит фосфор на цветении, довольно быстро отцветает) Теперь один из топовых для меня автоцветов)
