8/9 It didn't rain last night and there is no rain in the forecast so I lightly watered. I actually had a copper fungicide in my hand yesterday but decided against buying it after research saying it burn cannabis. I didn't research enough and I may end up going that route. I may also move the problem plant. We shall see. Instead I treated all plants early this morning with the amazing Dr. Zymes. I'll follow up with another form of treatment and see what happens. All around I can see foliage with septoria. Not around my grow but still. It's in the area. Burdocks, maple trees and other small foliage on the ground. I hate having to make decisions like this. Otherwise plants seem to be doing great. Definitely transitioning to flower. Found moth eggs and damage on inner leaves in the pm. 8/10 No water today as the plants were soaked. It rained last night. 68 at 9am. This morning I defoliated and really got on the inside of my plants. I wanted to see if I could find what was damaging leaves. I found an earwig on a plant. That makes me fairly certain they are responsible for the sporadic damage I'm finding. Lower branches have some small leaves dying and in a couple spots it looks like the ate off a bud site. It was were I would've lollipoped but still. I think another application of Spinosid may be needed. Plants are definitely in flower with the dreamcatcher's leading the bunch with small little buds formed. Flowering seems much later than the strains I grew last year. I need to go in the cage at night with some kind of light to see what's going on then. pH meter wouldn't read. 8/11 It had rained earlier but it's been so hot that the plants needed water. I watered but not thoroughly as pots weren't completely dried out. I didn't see any earwigs. I was prepared this time with a spray bottle with dawn. That is supposably supposed to kill them on contact. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I did find a jpn beetle this morning. I believe they may be responsibly for some of the damage I've noticed. I had a very early appointment this morning so I didn't get a chance to take any pictures or a chance to feed. Plants are definitely flowering. The seedling (I say seedling only because the others are clones) in the 50 gallon pot hasn't been watered as much and I'm not sure if I have been watering enough. I figured the rain would help but I noticed that the soil is very compressed and appeared dry before watering. I also had no idea how much the nutrients effect the pH of the water after added. I have the drops I use to measure pH but that's basically impossibly with big bloom murking the water all up. Also I don't think the plant I was going to cull has leaf septoria. I think it's just been ravaged by pests and has white powder mildew. I will continue to monitor. Temps are supposed to be very high the next few days. 8/12 Fed two gallons to the garden today. Used tiger bloom as I think it plays better. I'll use the Kool bloom though. I do need to say my plants were much further along by now last year. Different strains though. Added a pinch of pH up but it appears the pH is fine after mixing my nutes. Rained AGAIN last night. All this rain brings the earwigs out to climb plants. I included a picture of the damage. I need to do another app of Spinosid it appears. Then alternate with a spray treating the wpm that I see. It's a bad year for mildew. UPDATE 90 degrees out at 2pm. Defoliated the dead spots inside and looked to see what kind and how much damage from ear wigs. It's all minor but still. A few lower branches (bottom that probably should've been clipped) have shoots that are damaged. At spots it appears the earwigs lollipopped the stem. Nothing up high or middle though. Buds are developing and they (luckily) haven't gotten there. I've tried a few things already but today I put petroleum jelly on all my stocks and supports so hopefully those little bastards can't get up to the plant. If the rain laid off it would probably be better. Not a single aphid though and no signs of typical cannabis pests so I guess it's a little give and take. Made a video but will have to upload later. 8/13 Didn't water this morning. A storm came through at 6pm last night. Torrential rain and high winds but no damage. Found more moth eggs and two spots where leaves were rolled up with webbing and inch worms emerged when opened. Other growers suggested the damage could be from inch worms so I think before I do much else I'll apply BT tonight.today is going to be even hotter than yesterday. 85 at 9:30. Will update as I progressed. Added a video. 8/14 Watered this morning as it's been dreadfully hot. In the 90s with super high humidity. Found another leaf with moth eggs and a inch worm crawling on a bud. I did a treatment of BT this morning that I hope will take care of things. Plants look amazing. Walking down to the cage I get hit in the face with a pungent skunky smell. Plants are huge and seem to be flowering more everyday. Strange the amount of difference I notice in just a days time. 8/15 No water today as it rained yesterday off and on and soil was damp. Plants are flowering nice with dreamcatcher in the lead and ice cream cake bringing up the rear. Everyday the little buds seem a little bigger. I will probably need to do another application of BT since it rained yesterday. Still finding some lower branches stripped of new growth shoots where a bud site should be. I don't know if inch worms are capable of this or whether it's earwigs. I WILL find out though. I'll go out LATE tonight and look with a flashlight and spray bottle. Smell is incredible. As long as we have a nice September and a warm fall this is going to be a good year. It got down to like 50 last night but it was 90 yesterday. These plants are resilient to take temp changes like that without it phasing them.

Diese Woche habe ich die 160w Lampe mit einer 50w Lampe getauscht. Die Pflanze wird jetzt entladen und nach zwei Tagen bleibt das Licht aus. Dieses Mal werde ich die Pflanze 48h im Substrat im dunklen stehen lassen, daraufhin die Erde abdecken und die Pflanze mit samt Wurzelballen kopfüber aufhängen. Nach dem letzten Lichtzyklus wird die Pflanze zusätzlich von allen Fächerblättern befreit.

Picking the odd leaf off but it's pretty much just doing its own thing other than having to feed her . She smells really nice with lots of bud sites and has some visable trichome production now .

Third week of flowering and everything's fine. Humidity at 65% Lights at 80% at 35 cm. Increased the amount of nutrients since she's still growing. 2 litres every 2-3 days.

Guys, I haven't done anything this week 🤦🏻‍♂️ but i made a lot of content I had a lot of other things to do, so I didn't touch the girls and gave them complete freedom - they turned out to be whores and got very loose 😂 This weekend I'm taking the girls to the salon, we'll do a new haircut and then I'll give them 12 hours of rest 💚☘️🥦💕❤️😍

Whelp figured out my PH meter was not reading correctly which means I was not balancing the PH of my water correctly....that being said I had been using RO water that *read* it was testing around 7.0, so I was using PH down to 6.5 5/27 - Decided to top the plant. Again with this being my first grow, this was slightly nerve-racking 5/28 - Seems I didn't mess up the top chop, woooh! I tested the PH of my soil today(5.6), if that even tells me anything(I find 2 articles that say it doesn't and another 2 that say the opposite...so that's magical) and ended up just buying a few gallons of distilled water from the store since I didn't want to be running my RO system for my plant and the others in my house.(made sense in my head at the time) Fed a dose of nutrients in the feeding tonight. I believe I was underwatering my plant. 5/29 Forgot to take a picture because I thought I might have overfed the nutes, on the night before.., So I spent the night researching info and trying to figure out if that was the case and how to correct it. But again since I am new to this, I have no clue lol. It also seems I had bumped up the light power from 50% to 100% some how the night before. Ended up dropping it down to 70% power. 5/30 I took the photo, then tied down the main stem. worries of overfeeding have subsided for now... 6/1 Looking extra bushy today. Holding off on defoliation, unless someone tells me otherwise. I am trying to hold off for a few days on doing anything more that could stress out my plant.

End of week 3 plants look healthy for the most part fed lightly once at the beginning of the week just water and recharge seems to be working great!!! Gave them their first nute feeding on day 20 at 1/4 strength using flora grow, flora micro, flora bloom, cal mag, and 1/2 teaspoon of recharge ph’d at 6.6 so hopefully we see some big growth this week!!!!

Do not let this strain get stretched as it will get fragile, the buds are VERY heavy and the branches have trouble. Si or Kracken to help Flower under blue-ish or white light helps limit the growth. Switch to HPS or Bloom lights after that has stopped. Will foxtail easily at 85F even for a limited time (couple of hours a day) Very easy trim as we defoliate Low odor not a stinker No real problems with the grow that was not induced by our lack of tent space and flowering under HPS Flowering lights totaled 750 watts 600 HID 150 LED *** Update Drying nicely may be able to pull a branch and try out tomorrow , depends on how he is doing. Dryed fast, lots of air flow and dehumidifiers. With everything going on we want this stuff in the jar soon at possible. Over dried but not worried over that right now. Very happy with the yield. Decarbing now testing this afternoon. In our best Oliver Twist voices we ask "Please @Fast_Buds sell these seeds" Updated Dry Weight after final cleaning Also cleaned the harvest diary a bit heh BTW she is recovering and its not that thing.

I provided you with a close up video of each plant and one video where i go through tent and try to focus some nice buds individually. Flushing her for 5 days already with a mild 400 ppm solution of terpinator and mammoth. Smell is very sweet with hints of pineapple and grape i would say, very interesting and promising smell followed by some.nice dense buds. Trichomes are all cloudy, pictures coming soon, i rste her 7 to 10 days before first harvest ad i plan to do it in stages..

Another week of things going well! I dialed in my automated watering system by sealing the port where the 1/2in tube connects with the output outlet with an FDA approved silicone gel. Wanted to get the FDA sealant since anything else would leak chemicals into the watering reservoir. Tested and no leaks detected! I also found out that there are these sweet quick connectors you can get from Amazon. The nice thing about this is that it makes my watering system modular. I can disconnect the tube feeding into the tent by pushing the quick connect tab and addressing the bucket without dealing with tedious connects and disconnects. All I need to do when I’m ready to reconnect the bucket, I just push the line from the bucket into the quick connector. Additionally, I started using .25 ml (25%) of compost tea along with .25ml (25%) of silica. I think I will need to up the dose next week to 50% strength for both. I will do a transfer to the 1 gal pot in 2 weeks!

The best plant I have ever grown. Very resistant, and great flowering, fat buds, large flowers and beautiful colors on top of a whitish resin. This week there is no fertilizer, so as not to have problems with the harvest regarding taste. The leaves turn yellow quickly.
