9/16/23 - Day 106 - Today was the last day of nutes. Tomorrow I start my 6 day flush with just PH 6.1 water. This is the last step before the chop! I'll throw some pictures up tomorrow of the last water exchange. I'll take some videos of the process as well. 9/17/23 - Day 107 - I added a video uptop to show how a manual water change is completed. There are two options when you start your grow to either use a water hook up or add and remove water manually. I got the unit so quickly that I didn't have my water hook up ready. For the next grow it will be ready for automatic everything. Over the next 6 days I'm going to let her drink up as much water as she can then on the 23rd I will harvest and then hang them in the box to dry. 9/22/23 - Day 112 - I've been on vacation for the past week. I turned 40 on the 18th and I took the family to Disneyland. I've had someone managing the box for me in my absence. The box is so easy to use the person who is house sitting was able to keep the operation going. That's a great sign that anyone can do this. Tomorrow is the chop! I'm super excited! So far this week she has been taking in 2x the amount of water than normal. She's dying and she knows it! She still looks just as green, no welting. Looking good. Check out the photo up top. I just got home after a CRAZY long drive home. The plant still looks the same as far as color. I was expecting her to welt, and to have yellow leaves. But she looks like shes still doing good. This is nuts. Shes not really showing any signs of dying even though shes been in .7 ppm for over a week! I may let it go another day or two? Im not really sure, I'm in super unchartered territory, you're all going to learn this along with me. Ill post updates.

Moin moin ihr growmies! Die Woche war von der Entwicklung her echt Top die Damen werden fetter und fetter das einzige was mir Sorgen gemacht hatte war das dadurch das die buds zu legen an Gewicht die Äste sich zur Seite und nach innen gebogen haben deshalb habe ich mich dazu entschieden meinen Rahmen des ScroG netzes zu installieren und die Äste dort dran zu befestigen damit sie sich nicht gegenseitig beschatten oder gar schlimmer noch abbrechen. Ich Weiss sieht scheisse aus aber es hilft werde in der nächsten Woche noch einmal leicht die schere schwingen damit auch die untersten buds noch die Chance haben aus zu Reifen sonnst war diese Woche wieder nicht viel los 😂👍 ich muss sagen ich bin echt begeistert von der Bio tabs Palette super einfach in der Handhabung und das ich den Ph Wert mit green buzz nutrients fahre war genau die richtige Entscheidung die beiden Produkte funktionieren 1 a zusammen ich mein die Bilder zeigen das es funktioniert und dabei noch so einfach....! Ich hatte kaum Arbeit beim düngen und trotzdem meiner Meinung nach bis jetzt ein bomben Ergebniss euch allen ein schönes Wochenende und Happy growing!

Day 84 The plant appears healthy and vigorous, with broad green leaves arranged in a symmetrical pattern around several strong central stems, The foliage is dense, showing a rich, deep green color that suggests good nutrient balance and sufficient light exposure. The plant is growing in a fabric pot filled with dark, moist soil, which allows for proper aeration and drainage. Several new growth tips can be seen near the top, indicating active vegetative development. Overall, the plant looks well cared for, stable, and in good growing condition.

Hey Growers, end of week 11 from seed Ran into an issue this week, my ph meter broke and I had to purchase a different model at a local hydroponics store because It was feeding time. If I wanted the same ph meter I would have to order it online, I couldn't afford to have the plant wait another day or 2 For feeding. This new ph meter gave me different readings as to the old one. I have a record of the amount of nutrients I feed it everytime, for example with the old ph meter after adding nutrients to the water, ph meter would read 4.5 - 5.0, ill add 7-10 drops of ph up and it would rise to 6.1 - 6.3. With the new ph meter after adding nutrients to the water, ph reads 4.0 and i have to add 15 - 25 drops of ph up so the Ph goes up to 6.1, I calibrated the new one and ran different tests with different liquids and it seems to be pretty accurate, The old one cost me $14 compared to the new one which cost me $60. Will continue to use the new meter and hope the plant adapts to the new ph Levels, so far I see less orange on the leaf tips Colas are getting thicker, its been a slow flowering process for this plant, looks like its growing dense buds. Smell is a bit stronger, it used to smell weird but its now slowly smelling better 🍋 ⛽️ No amber in trichomes yet. Increase in orange hairs on the buds Increase in red stems, will decrease light intensity for 5-6 hours QUESTIONS when should I begin flushing?

The differences between sativa and indica really surprised me..I had no idea they were so different. I thought 2 of my plants were just bad seeds LOL!! but they are mostly sativa and my other 2 are mostly indica...Talk about a difference!!! WOW!!!

Was thinking about going to 12/12 this week, but have put it off till next. Veg filling >1/4 of the 16sq ft net, but I can't wait much longer! Moved from one 13g container to 2x13 (one with plant) plus a 27g reservoir. Expect to be much more stable on nutes now. Remote reservoir keeps temp of nutes down.

The little giant was probably fine . . . __ Sun Mar 10, 2024 IRIE1Q24 33:V:4:5  KEY Problems were the back flow protector on the Little Giant that reduced flow 1PSI, and flow restrictor on Xeribird8 for 10x the pressure of our little system. We’re lucky to have a couple of PSI at the emitters. That said - we produced ~1.5 gallons of runoff yesterday. To maintain runoff (but less than 1 GAL!), I’ve HALVED delivery times. Goal is to reduce runoff to ~10% of estimated delivery … Current Fertigation Run: 5 min Duration, 4 times in 11 hours.

Buds are continuing to swell and the smell is really starting to come through. Ordered a magnifying glass a couple days ago so I can start to check out the trichomes on the plant

Bueno!!!! hay una punta, Justo la que da en el centro de las dos lamparas que tiene un tono más amarillo que las otras, pareciera una deficiencia de magnesio pero en las hojas más jóvenes, pienso qué hay un exeso de luz en esa zona entonces decidí apagar 50w de cálidos para ver si mejora, próximo riego voy a hacer run off para ver si no estoy sobre fertilizando y creando un bloqueo de nutrientes. La planta se ve saludable pero no de un color correcto cómo está su hermana. 19/04 Se encuentran pulgones negros en el piso de la carpa, muchos. Se pulveriza con aceite de neem y bioprotect. Además se colocaron muchas trampas cromáticas con fabricadas en casa con aceite de giralsol Se riega con 2 litros de agua (50% grifo + 50% Osmosis) + 2ml de cal mag de top crop PH: 6.4 con el nuevo medidor ya! EC:0.9 21/04/2022 se pulveriza foliar ambas plantas con Big One 1ml x L PH: 6.4 antes que se apaguen las luces y empiece la noche 22/04/2022 se riega con 2,5 litros de agua (2000cm3 osmosis inversa + 3000cm3 de la red) + 3 ml de Cal-Mag para reforsar el calcio, se baja el PH del agua a 5 y se agrega BioEnhancer de Green House Feeding 1 Gr x Litro

26/07/20 (Sunday) Plants were starting to exhibit signs of light burn so I switched back to the 75W bulb. SVG never seemed to recover from having it's cotyledon damaged so I decided to take a risk and fed all of the seedlings 20-20-20 nutrients except the D.R. which I thought would've suffered shock, so I just watered it. 27/07/20 Decided to mist the plants with a homemade pesticide mix today because they're readying to be introduced as full time outdoor plants in a week or two so their sun basks are getting longer. 28/07/20 Noticed what looks like new growth from the first true leaves of the SVG, fingers crossed it's making progress. 29/07/20 The new growth from the SVG has split into two on both sides leading me to theorize that it's abandoned it's main stem (for now at least) and started two new stems. All other plants are working on new nodes and are showing a steady growth of .5cm a day. I've decided to revert to the 100W bulb because I believe I've misdiagnosed the light burn. 30/07/20 Today I left them outside for their longest sunbask to this point; 7 of their 18 total hours was provided by sunlight. The SVG now has two new 3-leaf true leaves on each new stem confirming my theory. Also starting to see signs of a minor mite problem on one of the leaves of my TT plant (Though it's new growth that wasn't sprayed with my homemade concoction.) 31/07/20 New growth has already begun sprouting from between the new true leaves of the SVG with no visible progress on the 'abandoned' main stem. Also had a power outage for 2 of the plants 18 hours. 01/08/20 Today the plants again stayed out in the sun for longer than previously making 8 hours in direct sunlight. I've decided to keep them in the grow tent for a further week because when I went to retrieve them the Jam was blown down flat by winds and had started to grow bent towards the light, so I doubt it's stem is ready for that daily beating. I raised the soil level and massaged it back into shape and it seems to be back on track. The D.R. is slowly beginning to bounce back from being stunted in the seedling tray and from it's third node (from the bottom up) of 3 leaf true leaves has turned into 5 leaf leaves. The SVG has made a major recovery and seems to be on it's way to even surpassing the others by the end of the week. The TT is officially the sturdiest of the younger seedlings and it's growing right behind the Jam in terms of node development. All in all this week was an overall success growth wise and I'm looking forward even more to week 3.

10 weeks total for the first phenos and a bit more than 11 for the last one! I could have easily gotten double the projected yield on these had I not neglected them but whatever I pulled is rock hard, dusted in sugar and smells absolutely stupendous! You did it again FastBuds!

Hello fellow cannabis Gardeners, El Patron is becoming an absolute pleasure to grow and look developing her flowers... Interesting sativa with calixes like Indica I believe? It seems this one will make a better harvest than the last one I have grown, her stem is bigger and flowering sites peppered overall the stems, let's see if she needs supporting.... Fingers crossed I do not messed it up again! 😬🙃😁
