Solid week this week!
Perfected the LST technique I think! All the canopies are comin in even, and they are growing great!
I did notice the plant on the right that is under the King Plus 1000, it’s growing a little shorter and stalkier than its sisters. I tried to find a Mars Hydro reflector 48 to fit into the spot the king is in. I’m trying to match the reflector 144 I have in place, but I was unable to find one ( they don’t make them anymore). Well last night I was able to find one so this tent will be running perfect just in time for flower!
Going to keep vegging them, and taking care of my babies!
Not too sure how much room I have left to keep vegging, might switch over to flower on week 6 we shall see!
Stay growing my friends!

Rainbow melon, a beautiful plant cannot wait to see how she turns out this time. Had a little trouble with her on my first go, but definitely going to give her a little more attention this time watching my drive backs and how much low stress training I do on her, I know she’s got it in her fastbuds never disappoints 🔥💯

2018-04-03 Week 14 Day 1
Not much to say, there isn't much drama going on in growroom 2, the only things I do is giving them water and nutes 2 - 3 times/week and making sure that the lamp don't burn the girls.
I gave them 4 liters today, and since they live in smartpots I can see when the pot gets wet when watering the girls, but you could hardly notice that. They are getting thirsty 😛
The flowers are developing very good, they look really healthy and their colors are fine.
Sour Ripper nr 1 is 78 cm
Sour Ripper nr 2 is 78 cm
2018-04-04
Raised the lamp to it’s highest level and turned all girls 1/4 turn, it’s really hard to get in to the ladies in the back, I need to push the girls up against the walls on each side and crawl on the floor to be able to turn them and give them water/nutes.
Damn these plants, why do they have to grow and become so BIG?! 😆💪
Added a new video, enjoy my SoG 😄

Strain information
After much effort Ripper seeds can introduce one of the most appreciated varieties by genetic collectors.
They have worked to get one of the few lines of Sour Diesel feminized version preserving the main qualities of a good Sour D: flavor and potency.
Sour Ripper has a sativa structure with a wide distance between branches, little foliage and a more compact and desirable bud than the Original Sour Diesel we work.
It's flowering period is 65-70 days.
The most "undergrown" taste of the United States available for your collection.
Vegetative: 1 to 2 weeks
Genotype: 60% Sativa / 40% Índica
Indoor flowering: 65/70 days.
Outdoor flowering: Mid October
Yield: Medium / High
Effect: Powerful.

Неделя очень медленно прошла, но с кустиком всё хорошо, правда запах сильно не выделяет, та и трихомы вот недавно только выкинула, скорее всего сроки у меня очень не совпадут с паспортом

Nov 12. - start of week 7 and all is looking quality👍. ITs been a busy 3 days to start, some defo and the final topping on the manifold. Kept 2 tips on the second node cause I’m greedy and like weed so... let em grow! we’ll figure it out😎(see vid). She’s a champ, hate strippn er down but she’s done nothing but respond well so this should turn out excellent👌. Cheers to all you fellow grow wizards and thanks again for comments and discussion. Dope ass community of peeps here👊PEACE!✌️
Nov. 17 update - not much to tell. Amped up the watering volume a touch, just tryn to anticipate her needs while she grows out. Another lst session to spread er out. As soon as sheshows enough stalk for it, i re-tie her. Constantly adjusting while she grows makes it so much easier and I expect nothing but perfection in terms of structure. That was the whole point of this excersice and I’m really hoping for some monster colas👍😎
Background
After the batshit nonsense with this years outdoor grows getting jacked, I need some kush and I need it fast! This girls an indoor grow in the cabinet and she'll be manifolded and defo'd for 8-10 fat ass colas. They’ll spend a first week or so under a cfl assembly while the last harvest dries out in the cabinet. This grow is going to be nute sched. heavy and will hopefully test the limits of my smaller grow space (2sq/ft). Ive had my eye on a critical & kush cross for awhile and really looking forward to seeing this one grow out. Thanks for take'n a peek, stayed tuned, and happy grow'n folks! 👊

Harvest is imminent! I'm basically just waiting for her to drink her last watering. So 1-3 days I guess - my last few "finished" plants basically stopped drinking much at the end, and she seems to be the same. But my last post was about a week ago so one more flowering week report!
A few days ago I took off some of the brittle taco-ified fan leafs. My guess is they don't do much for photosynthesis anymore and just prevent lower growth from getting light. Upper leafs by now have turned a pretty violet/plum color! I put a leaf from another plant in the picture for comparison.😊
Structurally there is little change since last week. Smell is still incredible too!
She is significantly more heavy and the stems seem to be losing the battle against gravity but as she's coming down in a few I'm not gonna go wild with jojos or garden wire.

Semana tranquila. Algunas hojas inferiores se están poniendo amarillas por falta de luz. Este cultivo decidí no quitar hojas y dejar que las plantas tuvieran el mínimo de estrés, por lo tanto las hojas inferiores no reciben luz.
Las flores han aumentado bastante de tamaño y ya comienza a oler bastante rico el cuarto.
Están consumiendo prácticamente dos litros de líquido al día.
Buenos humos para todos!

End of week 12, looking good. Stay tuned.
So far so good. Water lines getting clogged a little with roots but I put together a little work arround using the water level indicaters I built into the system. (see picture) They are kind of on auto pilot. At this point in the grow I have learned how this particular batch likes things. For example 1.63 is the optimum EC currently. By monitoring how much the EC increases/decreases vs water level I can tell if they can handle the food level, and adjust accordingly, before they burn. I keep them right at the border of too much nutes. If you look you can see all the tips are just barely burnt. I ride the line.
I'll update again on Sunday with some fun stuff.

Day 40 ( 3 in flower) : These girls are amazing and deserve some star status for their growing ability. From the off these girls have given full attention to their growth , even the 2 girls that were suffering under the intensity of the lights ( moved to 24 "now.) It gave 2 of them tip curl like too much Nitrogen does so had me head scratching on the new Mega crop and dosages. Now figured they are continuing to outgrow most of the other strains running. They have been easy to work with on their lst and pin down and far extend the pots edges.
#1 The living organic girl is loving her spot in the room and paying me back in her spurts of growth. # needs a little thinning out but happy .#3 Is a willing bush in the making but a good defol will open her up.

@FAST_BUDS,
Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries.
This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow.
First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom.
I put some pictures on the construction here in week one.
The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters.
It provides a floor area of 3.6 square meters.
I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps.
I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside.
The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement.
Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement.
I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition.
I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-09-18. Week 5 starts. Added new video. Girl Nr 1 is 46 cm high and Nr 2 is 33 cm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-09-19. 2 new fans is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-09-20. Kl 10.00. New video. The Nr1 girl is 52 cm high and Nr 2 is 32 cm.
Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2017-09-22. The girls have recovered well after my massive defoliation. Girl number 1 is now 56 cm tall and number 2 is 35 cm. They have received 6 liters of water and nutrition today.

Woche 2 (Vegetative Phase):
Die erste Woche ist Geschichte, und meine beiden Early Skunk-Diven haben sich von winzigen Sprossen zu echten kleinen Sträuchern gemausert! Schaut euch nur die neuen Blätter an – kerngesund und voll im Saft!
Große Putzaktion im Hydro-Spa
Um sicherzugehen, dass meine Hydro-Superstars weiterhin ein Fünf-Sterne-Erlebnis haben, gab's heute eine Generalüberholung: Komplette Reinigung der DWC-Anlage! Algenbildung? Nicht in meinem Zelt! Der ganze Tank wurde geschrubbt und neu befüllt.
Der Hesi-Turbo-Cocktail
Die Kleinen sind jetzt offiziell in der zweiten Vegi-Woche und bekommen den vollen Support nach dem Hesi-Leitfaden. Das ist quasi die Upgrade-Version des Nährstoff-Menüs!
• PH-Wert: Wieder 5,9 – Perfektion muss sein.
• EC: Exakt nach Hesi-Plan für diese Phase – der optimale Power-Shake.
• Wassertemperatur: Konstante 20°C – Das Wurzel-Spa läuft weiter.
Mit den frischen Nährstoffen und der blitzsauberen Umgebung steht dem Turbo-Wachstum nichts mehr im Wege. Die Wurzeln schießen wie verrückt ins Wasser, und ich bin bereit für den baldigen Wurzel-Dschungel.
Ich bin schon gespannt, wie schnell die Blätter in den nächsten Tagen wachsen werden. Das wird ein Spektakel!
