So we are in the middle of week 10 and I feel pretty comfortable feeding them now, pretty much the same until next week when I give more Top Max. I've seen much more explosive growth on other diaries but I have to say I'm pretty proud so far for my first attempt. Staring at those fresh furry little balls of life is surreal, getting to this point is great, but it's far from over. So I kept the same feeding this week, still adding the Great White with mycorrhizae (and like 40+ other microbes) once a week as it says per directions. The BioBizz products are easy to use and hold up well, so I'm feeling better about going with them even though I had some issues at the beginning (all my fault most likely). I can dial in the feeding mixture PPM now first try to where I want it, so far 700ppm of a gallon every 2 days has been working out. I feel like at the start I was over watering because people say water everyday in coco, well that seems to be for the coco bricks. I am using FoxFarm Bush Doctor Coco Loco (long ass title just for some coco coir) with additional perlite and it has a lot more holding capacity than just normal bricked coco coir. For checking on when it needs water I still use the method of digging into the topsoil an inch and weighing the pots by hand. Also I've noticed if they are pretty tired looking after lights on then I'll water. Like everyone said, consistent fertigation has been the hardest part as a beginner. First week I'm posting a video, the fan can't oscillate so I turn it to the right, left, and keep it center as well as raise and lower it so there is decent airflow. I wouldn't say it's optimal but it works for now. I've raised the lights about 3 inches just so the top colas don't get burnt, I've also found the sweet spot on the potentiometer (power knob) where I can get maximum power without raising the temperature above 77f, which it quickly goes above 80f if I exceed it. I've done minor defoliation before each feeding (so like every 2 or 3 days), mostly just clearing the leaves from above while keeping the important sugar leaves and some fan leaves, even though most the large fan leaves have long died/turned. If you watch the first video I've posted you'll notice an injury on her, unfortunately I didn' I feel like I've failed on the C99 X Blueberry Auto, in fact I took it out of the title. I definitely kept it in nutrient lock even after repeated flushings, it seems to have grown a little and even looks like it's accepted its new life as a stunted sideshow geek never thinking of being the in the spotlight under my grow tent. On the plus side, the two normal Desert Lemon photo's look great, even if one is starting to look leggy. They haven't shown their sexes but it looks like they soon will, because frankly I don't have enough room and would like the leggy one to be gone. The two other shortest plants looks nice and green, shortest being the Black Sugar photo that I did some minor LST with tent stakes - and the very beautiful Gelat.OG photo that is so symmetrical it makes me want to put her in the spotlight (aka position 1 which I give most room/light priority too). Okay so that's it for this week folks, thanks for checking in and please comment or critique on my first grow! Any questions also welcome. -AthanasGrow

Her second week in flower and she’s doing great. Waiting for the stretch, she’s so short and bushy! Lol. She’s a fantastic plant and brings me joy for sure.

Wow well she has jumped up!! A week ago I scraped off a couple of inches of the soil/perlite mix and replaced it with brand new compost. My grows for the last few months have been unimpressive to say the least and I've been trying to figure out the problem. I've had a few theories but the one I've settled on is my soil. I think I need to change it much more often than I have been doing previously.

First Flowers & Full Power 🌸⚡️ Here we go—flowering has officially begun! Week 7 marks the start of bloom for this mystery lady, and she's looking absolutely stunning. The training phase is now complete, and from here on out, she’s free to stretch upwards and show off. 💪🌿 I'm loving those slightly reddish tips on the new growth—adds a beautiful touch of color to her already elegant structure. No signs of stress, just a healthy, happy plant soaking in that summer energy. ☀️💨 She’s been treated well this week: Silica every 3 days before night Fed with CalMag, BioBizz Grow, Bloom, TopMax & Alg·A·Mic Effective Microorganisms added 4 days ago Followed up with a nice dose of compost tea 2 days later She's thriving under a great mix of sun and fresh air, and it’s honestly a joy to see how well she’s developed. Everything’s balanced, and the transition into bloom feels smooth and strong. The mystery’s starting to reveal herself—and it’s looking floral, vibrant, and full of potential. Stay tuned, the real show is just getting started! 🌞✨🌺

No photos this week... My bad 😞 😭

👉The spread of the nutrient issue seem to have halted. The damage is done and can be seen in the yellowed sections of some of the fan leaves. The majority of the issues are also in the brightest areas under the lights. I had raised the lights to 23" and moved one of the ceiling fans to blow on the top of the plant more. I still have some burned tips but I am not worried about that too much. The frost is very thick and the aroma is getting stronger, a nice sweet funky stank. Touching the flowers leaves more of a lemony solvent scent. The frost extends out on some of the larger sugar leaves quite a bit. The colas will be long and dense. 👉The nutrient mixture was made to be in the high end of the recommended range of the Mid Bloom week 8 mixture on the General Hydroponics Drain to waste feed chart. I have increased the frequency of H20nly irrigation events. The EC isn't spiking, but it does climb slowly. The pH of the run-off stays pretty consistent in the target range. The fertigation logs are in the pix for each week. I started blending week 8 to week 9 and will be at week 9 and maybe 10 by next week.

Indica vs. Sativa

We loved this old meme

End of Week 7 and finally the 2nd 250W Lamp is here!!! Tropicana Cookies going strong, the Skittlez seem to wanna grow a little more before coming into flowering. Will change the Lightning to 12/12 if it doesnt get better. Plants drank wel over 40L of Nutrients this week.

Stardog room it is looking pretty good and is thriving. Hopefully get the results we asking for. Aya room up to now is giving pretty impressive results and it looks like they like the enviroment even tho its not fully equiped. After adding the c4 neet to celan the insides a little bit more and see how it will react.

I must say it’s been a great week for Pineapple 🍍 Express,,she has really taken to her environment and feeding well,!! Her leaves are telling me that she is really happy,,so the next couple weeks are gonna be important for me as I will be doing my best to get her pinned in the 2x2,,as well as i can before she races off to flower 🤞🍍🍍

Transplanted the photos,they are stunted do lack of nutrients should recover shorty also the runtz muffins with the broken stem has recovered nicely and have started lst on it and the gorilla cookies auto

¡Primera semana y seguimos con buena positividad! Las plántulas ya empiezan a crecer y a abrirse, se ven fuertes y ojalá sigan así. Todavía están dentro del propagador para mantener una buena humedad, ya que en esta etapa las raíces apenas están formándose. La mayor parte del agua la absorben por las hojas, así que no se necesita tanto riego, sino más bien mantener alta la humedad en estas primeras semanas.

Hey so the girls finished the end of week 6 looking super happy again 😊 this hasn't been easy this run watering I've had quite a few mistakes on my part overwatering though giving the girls an extra day between watering seriously helped under LEDs . The girls are growing amazing and some girls are in the ending stages of there flowering cycle putting on weight and growing dense buds , at the moment the girls scout cookie's is gonna be finished for week 8 dead on and is ultra dense , something I've noticed with these girls , thicker stems , more support , denser flowers and overall general health seems really improved moving away from the HPS , going to start some on Terra aquatica RIPEN for thoes colours coming to the end of flower 🌼 This week I'm able to describe weather they taken there indica hybird or sativa genetics also weather growth is going well or bad depending on specific strains . All girls are now in flower so there colours are starting to show in one of the dosidos having nice purple buds 💜 Girl scout cookie's Amazing growth from the smallest plant is nearly at harvest with massive dense nugs its truly a little freak of a plant displaying the purple leaves underneath The other girl scout cookie's is doing amazing and was left to grow normally the other in LST went hermi on me 2 weeks previously which was a sure disappointment being my biggest plant at that time but growth seems great on this strain for harvest times although plants are smaller than I normally get the yeild might surprise us at the end 😀 Gorilla glue Sporting a solid structure and vigour like I've only ever seen on anything containing gorilla glue genetics and going into late flower now , one plant is seriously feeding a high level of nutes , greedy beware and make sure to keep plenty of everything at hand for max growth . Some leaves are starting to show slight defenices alothough im not worried as towards end of flower this plant is ģonna look seriously cool Runtz 🚫 Girls are gonna be the biggest yeilders thanks to thoes skittles and hybird gentics coming from this strain donating its sativa high yeilds to this plant , two are late flower one is still stretching and is the biggest girl in the room by number of leaves and size , these strains end LST to provide enough space and light for these girl to promote there best traits . Feeding these girls are modest and not overall big feeders so it's not bad growing for beginners these girls will need to get a good few of there fan leaves removed to promote airflow and heat exchange Dosidos Girls are starting to pick up now , one has even rewarded us with out of this world purple buds 💜 I love my purple 💜 Growing well under LST although they has a slow start they seem to be picking up so heigh and I do reckon I'll get at least 28 grams a plant Lemon haze I've always misjudge the sativa strains as uncontrollable for a small room but I've been mistaken as these are looking to be good yeilder Blueberry Very tempermental, this is such a hard strain to keep happy in general it's been a pain in the arse , Headlight kush auto These are the same very tempermental and a decent strain but doesn't have great vigour like the ZAMNESIA seeds seem to be looking great and growing amazing these girls would need another run but at the moment I'm not happy about overall growth

Good first week 🌱

los cogollos estan engordando y el olor ha aumentado tanto que me toco poner el filtro de carbon activo. Hubo un pequeño exceso y regue un par de dias solo con agua de osmosis ec 0,17 y ph 6
