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.

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) โ€“ Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24โ€“27ยฐC, RH 55โ€“60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. ๐Ÿ‘‰ In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

49 days!!!! The girl looks great, she is healthy and happy, although it was quite a rainy week, she ignores all this and continues to grow calmly:) It's true that I already wanted the beginning of flowering :D I used LST on the girl this week so that she wouldn't be too visible to the neighbors :) although it is legal in my country, I still try not to disturb the surrounding neighbors:) good luck to everyone;).

I have been calling this my frost throne this week. When you are look at it a certain way it looks like a throne and the frost on her is incredible. The stacking of bud sites is very impressive I am hoping by the time it is done it is just a bunch of huge buds. Showing a little nute burn on a few tips this coming week will probably cut the ph perfect trio and give it some extra flush time and see how it runs this week. Today will be getting big bud and bud candy in its feed, then flush til Wednesday then flush til saturday. See how that goes!

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend! The Strawberry Banana Auto from Fastbuds is starting to smell very good and starting to stack up nicely. She is only 26 inches tall but I feel like her colas are going to be quite thick. I did a light defoliation this morning and took off all the LST tie downs. She is looking super healthy and loving this Medic Grow Spectrum X. I currently have the Spectrum X running at 100% power and also integrating the UV/IR bars for 75 minutes just prior to lights off. I am super happy with this light so far, she puts out impressive PAR, and runs fairly cool. The only thing I would change is to add a timer just for the UV/IR bars, and allow the main light to be run on a timer. I will probably do one last light defoliation in the next couple of days and that will be about it other than keeping the reservoir full and in the correct PH range. The tomatoes outside are absolutely loving the runoff from these autos, as that is all they have had to drink since they were about 3 weeks old. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! ๐Ÿ’ช Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

First day of third week, its been 15 days since they got fresh air for the first time! Its been quite amazing to see them grow pretty fast, since this is all new for me im pretty amazed! Plant two, being the one in the middle, has much larger leafs than the others, but i guess thats because its directly under the LED, i wanna start LSD training but tbh i have no idea what to do with so smal space * and i have zero practice with this! Plant two is also showing some yellowing signs on the tip of new leafs which i have to figure out why! asking some help in forums aswell now and see what i can change, i havent introduce them to bloom nutrients yet and that also might be it, will see what to do very soon! Might need to also increase biogrow levels on that one, since shes taking more light than the other two and growing faster, was wondering if switching places between them would help for now im watering them daily each with 0.5L per day, with a 1ml/l of BioGrow, no idea if i should increase it or not, but ill learn

~ GG4 SHERBET FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "Bred from extremely potent and flavorful Gorilla Glue and Orange Sherbet genetics, GG4 Sherbet FF (Fast-Flowering) takes all the best traits to the next level, offering a high-yielding strain that can produce up to 600 g/m2 in a 7-week flowering time. This super resilient Indica-leaning hybrid thrives indoors and outdoors, and in all types of climates while producing mouth-watering sweet, fruity, spicy and earthy terps that translate into a delicious sugary hazelnut aroma. Expect an extremely relaxing and overall happy effect thatโ€™ll leave you with a huge smile from ear to ear. Itโ€™s the perfect strain for growers of all levels of experience seeking low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver quality and quantity without extra effort. GG4 Sherbet FF grows chunky buds with long dark orange hairs and spade-shaped calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a gorgeous silvery-white appearance. This medium-sized photoperiod can reach up to 200 cm in height and yields up to 650 g/m2 while developing that typical hybrid structure. GG4 Sherbet FF grows with a stocky, bushy appearance, developing one sturdy main cola and fat side branches that support huge yields without much effort. This super-fast variety produces distinctive light-green buds with a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. Itโ€™s a top-notch resin producer that doesnโ€™t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely flavorful resin that makes for outstanding hash end extracts." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30'sโ„‰). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40'sโ„‰, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’š ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 7/25- Well folks... Here we go into the first full week of flower for the FastBuds GG4 Sherbet Fast Flower and this lady is not holding back! The weather continues to be hot and dry, with only an occasional passing rain shower maybe once a week, and as a result the daily watering continues after sunset. 7/27- The GG4 Sherbet FF is pretty much on autopilot now. All I'm doing is regularly watering her and checking daily throughout her foliage for yellow or dead shade leaves that I remove. 7/29- Passing showers all day yesterday took care of my watering duties, which resumed today with 5g of well water from the garden hose after the sun went down. 7/31- With thirteen days in flower behind her, the GG4 Sherbet FF is only going to get more impressive as the weeks go by now and I can't wait!๐Ÿคฉ Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! ๐Ÿ’šGrowers Love!๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™

Moved the light 20cm up and it seems like she appreciated the change. Now that the temperature and the humidity level are more stable, she should grow faster. UPDATE: TOPPED! My 2 Royal Highness are still seedlings, while all the other plants (Gorilla included) are getting bigger and bigger every other day. Letโ€™s say I had to top these ladies (also) to wait the Highnesses. Come on babies!! โค๏ธ

I came to the conclusion that my issues all stem from the fact that I was doing two things wrong with my watering: 1. Too much (duh) 2. Too fast! I was using a watering can and it is talked about time and time again to use a hand sprayer to ensure even distribution and slow release. It is very challenging with a no till method because Iโ€™m impatient and I need to remember that Iโ€™m nurturing the living soil, not the plant and this method is far different from my outdoor and hydroponic experience. This weeks schedule looked like this: 12/27: Water and 1/4cup of kashi per plant top dressed 12/28: Nothing 12/29: Nothing 12/30: Water 12/31: Essential Oil foliar spray (ginger, eucalyptus, peppermint, bronners soap) 1/1: Nothing 1/2: Water/Aloe

(At the end of the photographs there is a video .. if you look at them enlarged it does not appear on smartphones and tablets) All by handmade.. Welcome Ganja lovers ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ We are today at the conclusion of this exciting cultivation journal I hope you have already enjoyed the photos of these beautiful flowers ๐Ÿ™‚ In the end they speak better than me.. But anyway.. This was a very good experience KALINI ASIA is an amazing Kush strain ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ I have grown all five seeds that ZAMNESIA sent us, each with something different..some nutrients or the specific cultivation technique.. But in the end the story was the same Vigorous Resistant Great aroma Good trichome production And heavy buds production ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ” I went far enough beyond the timing reported by the seed bank, it could probably have affected the heat wave in the last month ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Especially K # 5 performed more like a Sativa, even in the very fox-tailed shape of the buds. Personally I love them ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ”ฅ However, apart from K # 4, all the others showed flowers with that shape. By researching, I discovered that genetics from Asia tend to show flowers with these characteristics.. The effect is still purely Kush, and so is the flavor. But the inflorescence production is really powerful. The buds have grown almost entirely on each branch. Concerning the purple / dark pink colors.. K # โ€‹โ€‹1 and K # 3 did not show these shades, but as terpenes they were the same K # โ€‹โ€‹2 was the only one grown in an 11l pot practicing lst, exactly like K # 1-3, but where I used my Living soil.. Its colors ranged from rosy to purple, and it was a sight to behold as it slowly depleted all nutrients. To be honest it is the best and with the most delicious scents of all five ๐Ÿ™Œ To its detriment, however, it has a much lower production than its two sisters in 11l.. [ For lovers of numbers I will report some data later ] K# โ€‹โ€‹4 also presented colors tending to pink / purple, less marked than K # 2-5.. On its side it had a greater resin production ๐Ÿš€ But I think the (accidental) topping has slowed her down a bit ๐Ÿค”โœ‚๏ธ K # โ€‹โ€‹5 instead was the one with the darkest purple color of all.. But now it has turned more towards a brownish / purple color.. However, I repeat.. Slightly different look But flowers with the same fragrances and effects. As I reported above, this strain is very Kush, so it tends to be earthy and spicy with some citrus notes in the distance. Kush effect, sweet calm of the senses. Personally I find it a ganja to use regardless of the time of day or the various chores done .. Also good for sleeping : 1: Most users will find it more suitable for relaxing moments.. Anyway I generally use vaporizers , because I find them the top from all points of view.. And I generally vape between 180 ยฐ up to 200 ยฐ using mighty or ghost mv1 and sometimes dynavap m. Top flavor and effect ๐Ÿคฉ However, to better assess the quality of the flowers, he always carried out a smoke test Organic papers and filters and only weed, no tobacco or blunt.. Four weeks after the cut, I carried out a first pre-test for each single plant.. The weed was already burning very well and the ash was, and is, a nice light gray color.. This test was done precisely to evaluate drying. To properly evaluate the flavor, especially with varieties with Kush-style terpenes, I wait at least two months after cutting.. So I did another test for each one, and the taste was great ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ In the video you saw I instead decided to roll a nice two-gram joint, with a mix of all five flowers ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜ Solo test ๐Ÿ›ธ All excellent : 1:: 1:: 1: I love Kush so I'm biased A really good variety that I can only recommend ! .......... ......... ....... ..... About the nutrients Leaving aside the one grown in the Living soil, all the others drew nutrients mainly from the fertilizer that ZAMNESIA sent us.. The MONSTER-MIX What to say.. Really a great product Extremely easy to use With a cocoa scent that makes you want to eat it once opened And plants really appreciate it ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ”ฅ I have never checked the pH, as I do with my Living soil, and everything went top .. With one bag I managed to feed four of them almost entirely In addition to the MONSTER-MIX and my Living soil, I have added all mycorrhiza plants during transplantation. Also, from the fourth week of life onwards, I used some liquid organic stimulant. Below I report the exact quantities I used for each product (total calculation) For K # 1-2-3 I used, each for each one _Rootjuice (Biobizz) 4ml _Bioheaven (**) 7.5ml _Topmax (**) 13ml _Activera (**) 4ml _Activator (Biomagno) 4ml _Biomass (**) 0.5ml _Voodojuice (Advanced Nutrients) 6,5ml _Piranha (**) 6.5ml _Tarantula (**) 6,5ml _Rinhoskin (**) 15,5ml _Sensizym (**) 13ml _Molasses 23ml For K # 4-5 something less (total sum values, each) _Rootjuice (Biobizz) 3ml _Bioheaven (**) 7.5ml _Topmax (**) 6.25ml _Activera (**) 3ml _Activator (Biomagno) 2.25ml _Voodojuice (Advanced Nutrients) 2.25ml _Piranha (**) 2.25ml _Tarantula (**) 2.25ml _Rinhoskin (**) 6.75ml _Sensizym (**) 6ml _Molasses 10,5ml Regarding mycorrhias, I have used an Italian patented product for many years which is called Micosat F ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ I spread about 10g in contact with the roots On top of that, I just washed it down with normal water .......... ......... ....... ..... Always remaining in the field of numbers, for lovers of the sector I report below the various days of vegetative, flowering and respective quantities by weight of the flowers (weighed after drying, precise manicure and maturation of two months in a glass jar) K # โ€‹โ€‹1/2/3 _VEG STAGE: 6 weeks _BLOOM STAGE: 10 weeks K # โ€‹โ€‹4 _VEG STAGE: 5 weeks _BLOOM STAGE: 10 weeks K # โ€‹โ€‹5 _VEG STAGE: 4 weeks _BLOOM STAGE: 11.5 weeks Regarding the final production, I report the various weight systems below _K #1 52g _K #2 31g _K #3 55g _K #4 21g _K #5 41g As lighting I first used a 205w Optica2 led panel in the vegetative phase, but in addition to them there were also two other plants During the flowering phase I switched to using two Black-dog LED panels, each of 200w But even in this phase, the girls divided the light source together with another plant (CORAร‡รƒO BRASILEIRO diary...55g dry buds) and two more in the last week .. So , 400w for six plants ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก ร— ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒณ Personally I am more than satisfied with the yield compared to the final quality. .......... ......... ....... ..... What to say more To be honest, this genetics literally surprised me I can only recommend it to everyone and, even if you don't find the purple phenotype, don't worry too much .. However, you will have a lady plant in your hands who will be able to give you many large and fragrant flowers .. Thanks to Grow Diaries and especially Zamnesia for this opportunity ๐Ÿ™ And thank you all for appreciating : 1:: 1:: 1: I am looking forward to other similar competitions.. Because personally, every day of these weeks has been a victory. Having the chance to grow cannabis is already the biggest reward ๐Ÿ’š Until next time.. Stay connected ๐Ÿ˜Ž Ciao โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น . . . (The support sticks used, which were a little too long, were unfortunately the only ones I found during lockdown)๐Ÿ˜…
