No se ha regado todavía, ha crecido bastante, muy ramificada, esta semana ha pegado un buen estirón, el cambio de luna nueva a luna llena les hace subir la savia a las hojas, ahora esta en cuarto creciente, se prevé buen crecimiento para la próxima semana.
d90
Se ha regado con abundante agua y luego con 2L de mezcla con fertilizantes.

The start of this week marks 8 weeks since flower. That tall one in the back has spent the entire grow being a lighter color, then losing much of it, and now any green that comes back gets immediately swapped out for red. Not sure what I did to this one early on but its been lighter colored and stretchier the entire time.

Hola cultivadores!
Luego del clima maravilloso de la semana pasada volvió el mal clima 😡. Bajo bastante la temperatura y días muy lluviosos. Pero ahí siguen! Las resguardo cuando llueve mucho y hay mucho viento.
Incremento de a poco los nutrientes para floración.

The Blackberry moonrocks plants are beasts. They're so thick and sturdy, and they're covered in buds. They're not stretching much, so it's gonna be a really tight bud on top. I'm excited to see how they turn out.
Well, it's Christmas again. This year feels a little different, though. Maybe it's the snow blanketing everything, or the way the tree lights up the whole living room. Either way, it's cozy and warm, even when it's freezing outside. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Santa brings. I hope I get that new video game I've been wanting. But most of all, I can't wait to spend time with my family. We always have so much fun
This past week was a good one for the plants. They started the first week of their stretch, and they've already grown a decent amount. I can really see them filling out. It's cool to watch them grow so fast. I can't wait to see how big they get by the end
I always get a little worried at this stage, like they're not gonna get as big as I want them to. But then I remember how they always end up surprising me. By the end, they're always perfect.

***** Week 10 growth - February 6 to 12, 2021 - Week 1 Flower *****
Here we go.......on to flower now. Last week was transition week and bud sites are setting on the girls now.
Lights flipped a week ago to 12/12.......typical flower.
Stretch is starting this week now. Last week was marginal height growth.
Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 1 again this week. Next week will move up the ppm more and start on bud enhancers. More microbes and sweetener this week. Silica ppm also increasing now as not looking to bend branches much more now.
Decided to throw Scottie Real some support and Recharge arrived this week so switching microbes for the rest of the run👍💪
Have a hole in the canopy that I am just going to need to live with. GSCHB and MM2 did not growth as expected. They are not reaching up as tall as the others and stretch is slow. Not looking like they will catch up in next couple of days☹️☹️☹️ Also thinking of increasing some fulvic acid for this girl and see if it helps her stretch....Gold Storm.
Little more detail.......
Feb 6/21 - Day 1
- been drying for 2 days now so water day with some supplements
- 3L with CalMag @ 2ml, AN B52 @ 1.5ml (using up an old bottle to finish), Enzymes @ 1ml
- 575ppm and 5.9pH
- Need to start increasing silica. Using up some B52 which has some silica in it.......and other vitamins so its all good😀
Feb 7/21 - Day 2
- Leaves up today and praying nicely.
- dry out day
- stretch is going now and the girls are growing hard.....this girl is still working on setting buds
Feb 8/21 - Day 3
- Feed day again, going to stay with week 1 flower nutrients, same as last week.
- IPP Grow @ 1ml, Micro @ 2ml, Bloom @ 2ml, Black Storm @ 3ml, Sea Storm @ 5ml, B+ @ 0.5ml, Red Sun @ 0.5gr, Carbs @ 1ml, Natures Candy @ 1ml, Piranha @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml.
- 4L.......yeah, took a little longer to mix up this feed😀
- 1350ppm and 5.9pH
- no run off from the girls today......little light on the water, they should have had 5L each.
- last feed with bud starter, Red Sun, next will be Bud Fusion for bud booster next week.
Feb 9/21 - Day 4
- no run off yesterday so adding more water today......plain tap water.....no additives
- 5L for each girl. 225ppm and 6.0pH
- good run off today.
Feb 10/21 - Day 5
- Nothing today......watered two days in a row
- ready for more silica!! Branches need to firm up.......this girl has some very soft branches still!!!
Feb 11/21 - Day 6
- Recharge arrived today!!!!!! Time for more microbes and sweetener😀💪
- purple stripes on main stems so adding more magnesium through Epsom salts
- 4L mixture for the girls with Epsom Salts @ 0.5Tbsp, Silica @ 1.5ml, IPP Carbs @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1 tsp
- 1,000ppm and 5.9pH
- different microbes now and excited!
Feb 12/21 - Day 7
- Nothing again today.......give them watering tomorrow morning.
- Wondering if their leaves are a little dark........consider bring down ppm next week.......it was hard this week at 1300ppm........water is 250 on its own so around 1100ppm nutes added.
- she is not stretching much but looking very happy......suspect she will have large colas......hopefully👊
Looking good ETS......the girls are doing very well overall. This girl is very happy and looking healthy, branching a little soft, stretch has been minimal so far but might take off more next week with silica being increased. She grows some HUGE fan leaves😀😀

Week 11 started
I think that the plant is near to the end, maybe a couple of weeks or less. During this week I will start to check trichomes, my objective is to have 50-50 milky and amber. This will be the last week with nutrients.
D71: changed the water to the pot, added 30ml bloom, 15ml micro, 10ml pH-.
D73: first trichomes check today: 40 crystal, 50 milky, 10 amber. Added four liters of tap water.
D74: added 3 liters of tap water with 5ml of pH-
D75: added 3 liters of tap water.

The overfeeding on the center plant becomes apparent, but it still takes me a while to realize it and I kept feeding it the tomato fertilizer.

she has recovered really well. i think repotting and stopping the fertiliser has helped her. now she is getting green sensation again in small doses. she has gone into bloom. she is currently getting 10 hours of light.

Esta semana le hemos dado un poco de marcha con el Hemplex
A finales de semana el trasplante a maceta de 6L textil y las pasé al armario con el lumatek al 50%. 150W. a una distancias de unos 50 ctms. En uno o dos dias subiré al 75%, 220W. Le doy uno o dos dias al 50% para que se vayan acostumbrando

So excited, been very busy again so I didn't pull as many leaves as I wanted, still pretty proud though. The smell is very strong, the buds feel rock hard. I'm going to invest in a 2nd dehumidifier before I start another run, 2 of the plants are WAY behind, both of them have been little jerks the whole run, starting from runty ugly seeds and limping the whole way, one is so sparce, the other "runty one, is actually way too compact, I didn't get it open enough early, so it has just been a little mess the whole time, she IS the frostiest, but her buds are tiny tiny, even the tops are tiny, but I will just make dry ice hash with that one and make rosin. I'm super stoke though, I need to clean the room pretty good this next week during my 1st week of flush to get ready for a harvest in 10-14 more days...

This plant was a dream to grow, wish I'd taken cuts. Halfway through dry at 7 days. Drying at 55 - 60 % RH and 17 - 19 degrees C. I anticipate she'll be done between 10 - 14 days total dry time and I'll then trim and update weights on this Harvest.
133.75g total after trim. She's a nice smoke, very happy.

Week 7 for Kalini Asia by Zamnesia Seeds,
Shes at 8 tops still I'm just giving her side branches some growth time before I top her again for 16 tops I'm sure sometimes this week. But atm shes looking beautiful.
She finally got her transplant into 25L of fairly good soil mix of biobizz light mix/coco mix + a good feed of @bokashibiochar + a feeding of BioGrow by greenhousefeeding
I think a few days of adjusting and she will start to explode.

Goodmorning everyone👋...
Our beautiful plant of Girl Scout COOKIES (AMAZING STRAIN) seems to grow very well 🍪...
It looks for a lot of light, compared to the others in the grow-box ..
and it is also the only one to be in a 11l smart pot, always compared to the other autoflowering... In some day I will give you a little bit of root-juice to make you happy, hopefully.. Ah, and good news...
even the high seed has come to light and the plant is currently very good ...you can see it in the video, the last on the left ...but I will not post a diary with her too ..
However it is..for the moment all is well ... still soon...
see you next week👍 ...
Hope you enjoy it.. 🙏
Bye 😉

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants.
I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn.
I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65.
Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots.
-= Lessons Learnt =-
- Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment.
- Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial.
- Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration.
- This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI.
- Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though.
- Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably.
-VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever.
- Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster.
TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.
