Some light mania has me itching for projects. I have tiny pots, a bunch of free seeds and no space. Could I grow them by the window under a desk lamp? I might be able to tuck them into the tent if they actually grow for me. I want to try out some LST for cute bonsai-style trees. I’m not confident that I will have much success but this is purely a learning experiment. Let’s see how much I can abuse these autos 😅 - Sept 22 AM: Popped 3 Cookie Dog autoflower seeds into a glass of bottled spring water for a pre-soak of 14 hours. - Sept 22 PM: Put the seeds into folded paper towel, ceramic plate, more bottled spring water, uncovered in warm room. - Sept 23 AM: One seed has started to pop after only 10 hours! - Sept 23 PM: The seeds have all cracked but haven’t grown tap roots yet. I planted the 3 seeds into various small pots to finish germinating in seeding mix instead so I would stop checking on them in the paper 🙃 - Sept 24: nothing happening above ground. They are in the tent with lights 24/0 so I covered them with larger pots to give some darkness. Placed pots on a heating mat. - Sept 25 AM: the 2 seeds in the smallest pots have emerged! The were touching the plastic wrap when I checked on them so I hope they are ok. - Sept 27 PM: 1st seedling doing good, 2nd seedling still has her seed leaves closed so I’m misting her, and 3rd.. I accidentally flipped her pot over. She’s gone. First Impressions: Seeds germinated in soil after 36 hours, 72 hours from when I first left them to pre-soak and let the seeds crack in paper towel 24 hours.. that was 24-48 hours faster than the other test groups that used paper towel method until tap root formed and waiting for the germinated seed to emerge.. I might skip waiting for a tap root in paper towel going forward but I do like knowing the seed is viable before putting in soil so I know if it doesn’t grow it was something I did wrong. End of week thoughts.. Well.. I fucked around with these seeds too much, exposed the roots to light, let them almost dry out, dropped them, had the temps too low, the heating mat too hot, kicked out over.. 😅😅 I didn’t really give them a chance and yet still somehow I got 2 contenders in pint sized pots 🤷‍♀️the experiment continues..

Bubba Kush Pre 98 is an easy plant to grow. She gave me no hassles or worries even in a warmer climate than she would like. The leaves are a dark green color naturally. Yield wasnt much, I am waiting for buds to dry and cure to provide the dried weight. I did not feed them any nutrients. The one got so dense that I had to move it indoors to avoid bud rot - im almost convinced it was an autoflower and they made a mistake at the seedbank because it was short and flowered out of nowhere. Outdoor buds were sundried - to lower THC for novice and paranoid smokers, I tried the smoke and it was a very pleasant high - removed anxiety, stress, overthinking, and relaxed my body. Perfect.

For this week the watermelon zkittlez is doing fantastic I will be tying and doing a little defoliation so light gets to the bottom branches and as for the two autos, my smaller one is showing pistils and the 3 gal one is still on veg. I will keep them in 18/6 for another week till I finally flip them.

Welp, These took a Bit longer than my Cream Cookies and still didn't fill out quite like I thought they would.. But they are still a very beautiful strain and a joy to have grown. They smell stronger and way more lovely than the cream cookies thou just a beautiful aroma I'd really like to grow these again Indoors where I can control them easier. (Sadly they dried into wispy nothings and we turned them all into bubble hash) #3 took the hit of some aphids and ended up in a frozen hash pile in our fridge along with two cream cookies from the run. It's frozen weight combined was 203g. *will update with dry*

Día 20!!! Estamos en el punto de comienzo de la 4 semana de floración ! Esa en la que notamos como el cultivo nos da el cambio que queremos y a partir de los dos vemos como Nuestras flores evolucionan de una manera u otra dependiendo de clima,genética,nuestra mano con ella etc.. Vamos a comenzar la media floración bien cargados con la paleta de nutrientes alta en potasio y nitrógeno! Siempre añadiendo también,nuestras mañanas de agricultor. Tuve el fallo de abrir el tupper de lombrices y echarlas a el cultivo y no poderos grabar el proceso. Fue algo rápido que hice con el armario apagado..lo tuve que iluminar por un minuto para añadir la bola de lombrices unas 60!!! La siguiente tanda de flores si empezara a sacarle provecho a estas amigas!! Deciros que el cambio en altura es muy grande no para aún de crecer! Y las últimas están engordando mucho las flores a pesar de el corto periodo se ve que nuestra selección de amnesia haze,es un fenotipo muy especial.. Es de unas 8 semanas de floración y muy buena productora! Día 21 Primer día de la cuarta semana de floración tenemos una escalera Desde la puerta del armario hacia el fondo tenemos alturas que van 54cm/62cm/71cm/80cm Gracias a el control individual en altura de cada luminaria iré trabajando con el control de dividir el área en tres Alturas diferentes,así lo requiera cada planta. Una pequeña planta que está cerca de una rendija de ventilación tuvo unas pequeñas picaduras de tips”. Observaré si no es de un periodo anterior de antes del fumigado.. Si no es así trabajaré un poco de jabón potásico y ajo! De momento el olor es muy sutil. Algunas flores empiezan a producir resina de manera temprana. Dia 22 Va todo sobre ruedas,un verde lima en las hojas,las puntas tensas y bien firmes esperando el regado de mañana! Una humedad de un 55% en el armario,cerrándolo con un 59% una vez echo el seguimiento,inspecccion de este en el día de hoy. Seguimos con una semana de humedad en el exterior del 90% y toda una semana por delante de más lluvias. Seguiremos controlando la humedad como hasta ahora con los riegos. Guardo paciencia en las plantas que aún no llegaron a la red,para poder tener un control visual de todas las puntas! Me alegra ver la cantidad de flores que están produciendo por casi todas partes de la planta y la resina que empieza a producir alrededor de estas,es un gran fenotipo de amnesia haze,con gran rendimiento productivo de flores y resina. Todo un hacierto para quienes buscan genes de sativa bien marcados con un corto periodo de floración. Día 24 Primero felices fiestas y feliz navidad a todos. Mi pequeño jardín de pinos 🌲 jejejej está estos días espectacular,ya comienza a afinar el olor ese toque a madera recién cortada y ese fondo de lima tan característico de las haze,aaag que rico olerá en las siguientes semanas buen fenotipo y no es el más oloroso.. Esta semana la humedad ronda 65% después de un riego que fueron 60litros,más de un litro por planta!. Justo lo que va necesitando para esta etapa de formación y engorde de flores… espero que en los siguientes días vuelva mejor clima también a esta zona ya que estos días de agua fueron nefastos para la interacción de aire de el exterior..no ayudaban a reducir la humedad. Deciros que el riego se aplicó el día 23. Con una EC1300 PH6,3. Una de las 44 en el último riego sufrió un poco de sobrefertilizacion,mostrando está un poco de color en el tallo,rojizo. Solo una quedó más pequeña,siendo esta 52 cm. 🏴‍☠️

This week we encountered some problems and we lost a couple of days of growth. It was smooth sailing up to here and maybe a little too smooth. I saw that the buds didn't develop right after the previous post last week. After dropping a question and establishing possible reasons I did some interventions to let the plants recover. I raised the light which was real close and temps were too high. Next to that I watered with just some normal tapwater as I suspected some too low PH. I started ventilating more to disperse the heat a little. These actions seemed to have helped as last couple of days I see some real fattening of the buds. This SP-3000 is real powerful and cant be as close as my previous leds. Again props to Mars Hydro and a big thank you to @MarsHydroLED!! Let's hope we do the last couple of weeks with less stress for all of us! Sorry for not posting any Sunshine posts, I have a Christmas surprise in store for those enjoying the mixed reality shots. For those who didn't like it, it will be the last you'll see of her, so she'll say goodbye at the same time! Thank you for following and all the likes, everybody! Take care and stay safe!! Hug Bud

Week 10! Because of the extreme heat of the last days the temps in my tent were peaking at around 38°C, so I decided to turn off the 200W CFL and keep the two 50W LEDs running. She is still doing well and will soon reach the end of her journey :)

Germinated using a glass of water. After 12 hours into a bag with tissue paper. Then I hung the bag up so gravity could make the tap root grow straight down.

It's been 68 days of flower now and they only got another week or week and a half left. I have been flushing them for 10 days now. Almost there 🤘🤘. I'm very happy how they have turned out, the color, the smell, the crystals 👍. Very proud of what I created. VERY IMPRESSED with the fc4800 and I was already very happy with the tsw2000 👍 The gals are still loving the new fc4800, TSW2000 and their new 8x8 mars hydro grow tent as much as I do👍 leaves are sticking straight up towards the light. Love how easy the zippers are to open and close. Nice and strong and guaranteed to last. It has extra material on the backside of the zipper that helps for light leaksand enough ports and vents for anything you need in it👍. the tsw2000 is still going strong and is also a very good light. Its been going almost nonstop for 6 months and still working the same as when I got it👍. not much heat off both lights but the fc4800 is alot cooler and the heat-sinks work extremely well. I have it daisy chained to the tsw2000 and 1 dimmer controls the other and i don't need to be reaching in too far to dim the other light, it's awesome and I can't wait to buy more lights to daisy 4 together👍. I would recommend this light to everyone that grows with leds and have trouble with temperatures getting too high. Even if you grow with HPS lights I think any mars hydro light is a MUST TRY. I like how heavy both lights are because I know it means they are built soild and strong 💪. Very good sign with the frost they are starting to get thanks to bith mars hydro lights. I can notice more frost under the fc4800 and I'm thinking it's from the UV DIODES they put on the fc4800 👍. 2 days ago they all smelt like my nuken, sweet marshmallows. But now I can smell the monkey dough and gorilla glue and skunk monkey coming through👍. I touched a bud on the gorilla and monkey fingers smelt like fruit loops👍 really pleasant smell. Lingered on my fingers for atleast 30 min. I'm glad mars hydro is under priced compared to some brands and for how popular they are. usually companies would charge more. Thanks mars you guys are awesome 🤘🥁🎸. I'm getting a new exhaust fan soon. An 8 inch that will work alot better than my 4 inch lol. Wayyy to small for a 8x8 Grow Tent. Dehumidifier is going almost non stop to try and get the humidity down. I love how both lights on 100% power only raise my temperature 2 or 3 degrees 👍. You can rest your hand on the lights and not much heat comes off them. Obviously there is some heat but for the brightness of the lights and only raising the temp that much is awesome 👌.  And if I wanted to I could remove the driver from the fc4800 and run it on the outside of my tent because the cord is so long but 2 or 3 degrees is barely nothing👍. The girls are starting to bulk up abit now and only 3 weeks of flowering, these lights are awesome 👌.  My last run of monkey dough and gorilla glue didn't start showing alot of crystals until week 4. These were only 2.5 weeks and I started noticing some frost. Next week I will be able to tell more about what these custom bred seeds will be like. I love how the smell is changing now. Didn't want all them to smell like nuken marshmallows lol. It's awesome that I can get right inside the tent to do any work i need👍. Even if I wanted an 4x8 tent. I'd rather this 8x8 because it's so easy to work with the plants and have so much room to move around and massive headroom when I'm in there chillin with the gals🤣🤘.

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY TRANSPLANT #3 THIS WEEK!!!! Big week, did the last transplant of the grow before she enters flower. I decided to skip out on the 3gal and upgraded to a 4.97 or 5gal container. The plastic is cheep and looks like it was going to break but its all the grow store had in stock at the time. Was talking to them about going from a 2gal to 3gal and how it did not do much for the plant but stress it out. They also gave me a free sample of a bokashi fertilizer, I divided that in between the two plants. It looks identical to the regular non fertilizer branded bokashi, and I feel its the same but with a mist of NPK on it or something. Plants are doing well, Dynomyco had a slighter bigger root ball upon transplant and the plant its self is a tiny bit more robust. Given all the other soil boosters and microorganisms I have added into this, I don't feel I will see the true potential of just Dynomyco vs soil nothing else added. I just can't not add the others as it feel like a massive step backwards and end of day a big healthy plant is worth it. This diary may not have massive contrast in favour of Dynomyco but I will still use it none the less and I think its helps plus its not over just yet. Would love to hear what y'all think about this, hit me up in the comments and I'd try and get back to yea as fast as I can. I like how the dead Blue Cindy plant looks like a biophage, sifi like alien thing. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest! #DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @Dynomyco Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made, This is also beneficial to the root mass however it's a bacteria based product and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco. https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/DYNOMYCO_Show_Us_What_You_Got

Day 22 - december 26 The hydro goes really fast now we can see the difference in growth vs the soil ppm 500 Ph 6.1 day 23 water change - 730ppm day 25 i cut off the 2 top fanleaves of the hydro and soil plant wich are blocking light on the stems underneath, now both plants have 6 main stems so both plants will have the same structure. nothing needs to be cut from here its just veg a bit longer and wait for flowers. also did LST on all 6 branches each has a string on them with a pencil attached to them to bend the young stems gently as you can see in the final video of this week. day 28: the hydro plant recovered from the too light nute mix new growth is healthy again theres just brown spots on the oldest water leaves. temps are also a bit low when lights turn of (15ceclius) in the res. i put the timer of the light now at 20/24 to keep it 2h warmer.
