So my final grow is done on Grow Diaries. Sending it off with a banger of a grow. Insane amounts of frost and the smell is badass. Barneys doing what they do best 👍🏻 This one's for you cannabeast40 🤣 what an excuse of a man you are. Still hiding behind his keyboard because the pussy won't meet me after ripping into my mrs on GreenBuzzLiquids group chat. Every dog will get his bone.. woof! ✌️🏼

This weeks update is just basically a photo/video dump! At the start of the week I did some lst and a tiny bit of defoliating and the growth just seemed to burst, I noticed they seemed to began to flower! So I went ahead and introduced the net to the set up and the I’m stoked with the way they filled this tent right out!! These cream manderin are truly fast growing buds. I also started adding Big Buds Liquid to the feeding schedule and so far, so good. At this point I’ll just be uploading photos every Tuesday/Wednesday 🤙🏻🤙🏻

May 10, 2024 Day 85 A new week and I'm not sure these 2 are ready for flushing. They have way too many white pistils. Plenty of orange, though. Banana Purple Punch A has more orange pistils. Both got a gallon of nutrient water today. So they are definitely still drinking somewhat heavily. And they haven't slowed down yet. I'll keep an eye on them though. Flushing will have to happen sometime. I'd say in the next 3 waterings. That's just a guess based on their current progress. It just seems that they aren't done swelling and there's absolutely no purple coming through yet. Banana Purple Punch A still looks great. Her buds are starting to weight down the taller tops and they are slightly leaning toward the outside of the plant. It's actually quite good. It's opening up even more space for the lowers to get as much light as possible. Air flow is great as well. This is especially important because she is in the back directly under a clip fan. So it's more prone to mold. At least that's what happened in my last grow. This time I have another clip fan across from this one, so the air circulates throughout the whole tent, top to bottom. Banana Purple Punch B looks great! She's not bending any tops, but I don't expect her to with how strong her branches are. Practically immovable. However, she's definitely getting more jiggly. And she has huge buds top to bottom. I wonder if that's the reason she doesn't budge. No room. Lol. Honestly, she may be really compact, but I have her branches spread out enough for good airflow. There's just a couple of clusters that are a bit too dense with foliage, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. Lots of airflow and light. She's a bit behind her sister plant. Way more white pistils and orange on this one. No signs of purple whatsoever. Just a healthy growing plant. I'll be checking trichomes later today if I'm up to it. I hurt my back earlier. Regardless of that, I'll be getting trichome pics today or tomorrow. Probably tomorrow with videos at the end of the week. It's been quite some time since I last took trichome pics. Bad planning on my part. However, I'm excited to see how much further along they are from last time. I won't be changing the light for another few days I think. Then I'll drop the power down. As I said before, I don't think they are ready for flushing, so not ready for light changes. The environment is still a bit off. Today the temp is 76° but the humidity is still high at 56%. This is sure to ruin something. I'm still trying to get the humidity down. I have a feeling I just don't have enough air exchange in my bed room. I'm going to continue messing with it until it's right though. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 54.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa May 11, 2024 Not a lot going on today. Just some pictures. Banana Purple Punch A is looking really good. She looks to have another week or so. I'm really confused as to why my plants take so long to grow and finish up. Banana Purple Punch B has completely caught up with her sister plant. She has the same amount of orange pistils. That tells me there isn't much left to go. If she caught up, that means Banana Purple Punch A is even closer to being done than I think. Maybe. I'll check the trichomes again tomorrow. No pics unless they are done. I doubt they will be. Especially Banana Purple Punch B. On the other hand Banana Purple Punch A could have only a couple days left and just isn't going to turn purple or fade at all. I'm going to start flushing in a couple days I think. They both look about ready for it. Plus, they are about as big as they are going to get. I think the flush will bring out the colors. So next watering will be the beginning of the flush cycle. It should be in a couple days. Also, both ladies have slowed down on their water intake. So the reservoirs should be empty in 2 to 3 days. Probably 2 days. Then I can clean them out and get to it. The lights are going to be turned down when flushing begins. I'm going to aim for a DLI of 36 mol/m²/d for the rest of the grow. It shouldn't be anymore than a week of flushing before they are done. The environment is still messed up. It got down to 49% yesterday for a couple hours, but then this morning it was right back up to 54%. The temp is fine at 76° Still not cold enough at night, but I have time. A few days to work it out. I'd like to be down to 65° by then for the last week of their lives. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 53.7% VPD: 1.27 kPa Update: I decided to check the trichomes anyway. Banana Purple Punch A has quite a few cloudy trichomes. Very few amber and a bit too many clear. I'd say she has about 5 days left. Banana Purple Punch B also has quite a few cloudy trichomes. However, she has about 15% to 20% clear trichomes. Amber trichomes are basically nonexistent. There's a few here and there, but mostly on the sugar leaves and not on the buds themselves. I'd say she has another 7 days left. Honestly I don't want to harvest them separately. I'd rather harvest them at the same time, so I might harvest them in 6 days. Right in between. Maybe 7 days if Banana Purple Punch A isn't quite there yet. To be honest, I have no real idea with this strain. They seem to be getting there, but there's no purple, still a lot of clear trichomes and it's been 12 weeks. So it could be another 2 weeks for all I know. I'd like to push them as far as they need, but I have 4 other plants that need to come in the tent ASAP. So I may have to chop a bit earlier than I really want to. I'll post some trichome pics tomorrow and see what you all think. Comments are welcome. Lol May 12, 2024 Some pics today. I'll try to keep this one short. Banana Purple Punch A looks good. I checked the trichomes. Not done yet. I'm sticking by my 5 days estimate. So 4 days left. She doesn't seem to be drinking at all. She is, but it's a trickle. Definitely not like it was. I'll have to empty the reservoir out tomorrow and start the flushing cycle. Banana Purple Punch B also looks great. I also checked her trichomes. She is about the same as her sister plant. Not enough cloudy trichomes, but the amber ones are starting to show up. A good sign. She might be ready in 4 days. I'm still guessing 5 to 6 days. She also isn't drinking nearly as much as she was before. A great sign that she should be starting the flush. For trichome pics, I'll be posting some tomorrow. Nothing to post today. I'll be dropping the light power when I start flushing. Which should be tomorrow or the next day. As I've said before, the DLI will be around 36 mol/m²/d. The environment is a lost cause. I cannot for the life of me get the damned humidity to a reasonable level, so I'll continue to open the tent every couple of hours throughout the rest of the grow. Happily, it's only a few days to a week. The temp is a bit high today as well. 77°. I'm already working to drop it a bit without going over 60% humidity. I should be able to get it down to 74° without a problem. It's just the humidity that's killing me. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.25 kPa May 13, 2024 Flushing day! I decided to rinse out the basins and begin the flush. I was going to wait another day, but I think it's time. They have about a week left I think. Honestly it should be done by now, but they aren't. Lol. No matter. They should be done in about a week. Maybe slightly less. So they have been given 4 ml of Flawless Finish. It should be the only dose I have to give. Maybe one more, but I doubt it. I still need to dry the containers out. That will take a day or two. So maybe a half gallon in a few days, just to get that last push in. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Some more lean happening with the tops. Nothing bad or anything, just a slight lean. Perfect for heavy buds. I didn't bother checking her trichomes today. No point. You can tell she's not ready just by looking at her. Banana Purple Punch B may need even more time. I'm going to have to decided what to do. Wait for this one to be done then harvest both? Or harvest one at a time as they finish up? Decisions decisions. I'll figure it out in a week. Her branches are really jiggly now. No lean exactly, more like a sway. When she gets moved her top heavy branches sway a bit. Great sign for a heavy yield from a 17" plant. Or is it 19"? Either way, it's going to have a fantastic yield compared to her size. One advantage I am seeing with the longer finish is it will give me time to dry some Tropicana Cookies I am harvesting in a couple of days. I'll be wet trimming this time around and the dry time should only take about 5 to 7 days. Maybe 10, but I'd rather not try to stuff 4 plants in a 2x2 to dry. It's a recipe for disaster. 2 at a time stacked on top of each other. I'll be dropping the light intensity tomorrow or later this afternoon. Maybe even tonight during lights out so in the morning it will be ready for the new day of less light. As I've said before... Over and over... I'll be dropping the light power to 70% which should drop the DLI down to 36 mol/m²/d. Oh, btw, I use the Photone for my light measurements. It has a PAR meter, Lux, DLI and I Believe color spectrum? Kelvin? No clue what that does. I focus on DLI. It's a better reading than just PPFD. The environment is still messy... as always... I'm keeping the temp down to 74°. The humidity at 58%. So it's still too high, but I've done all I can to drop it down and it won't even go below 50% with the tent door wide open. It just won't. So unless I can get the humidity in my room down to like 30%, the humidity in the tent remains over 50%. Hopefully pulling the plants out daily is enough to prevent mold and other issues. There's also the two circular fans. They aren't at full power, but they don't need to be as there's two. Plenty of airflow. I'll really need to keep an eye on these plants. Maybe I'll take them out multiple times a day. Like 2 or 3. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.25 kPa Update: I ordered a new dehumidifier for grow tents today. It should be here tomorrow. I'm guessing a lot of my problem with the humidity is my current dehumidifier. It barely pushes air. Cheap and well used. The new one is from Vivosun. A much more reputable company. May 14, 2024 Trichome day! Alright, so I took some video today. Not the best quality, but I hurt my back so I'm all shaky. The pics were a lost cause. Lol Banana Purple Punch A looks great! More leaning branches. This late in the grow, I don't care. They aren't leaning that bad and it's only showing how heavy these buds are. Trichomes are mostly cloudy with a bit left of clear and nowhere near enough amber. 5 to 6 more days I think. Banana Purple Punch B is so pretty. She has the faintest purple coming from the flowers, but not much. It is a sign that we may end up with a purple plant during flush. Trichomes are partly cloudy with 30% clear and next to no amber. She still has time to go. I'd say another 7 to 10 days. Now I'm overshooting it just incase. I don't think the plants noticed a difference in the light drop, or they did and it's not doing anything. However, I'm not sure what it should be doing. I'm guessing preserving trichomes? Makes sense. Anyway, it's staying at 36 mol/m²/d DLI. The environment is still an absolute mess. The humidity is at like 59% and as always, I can control the temp, but nothing changes the humidity. And it's like 55% humidity out today. Fail. Lol. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 59.0% VPD: 1.16 kPa May 15, 2024 Nothing to do today. They are still watered and whatnot. No changes in color yet either. I'm starting to think these both will be green phenomes. Or maybe they really aren't ready yet. It's just weird. What am I doing wrong to get all my plants to grow for so long? Oh well. This round is just different because of the other 4 plants that need this space. I really need them to finish up ASAP. No trichome check today. I can still t ell they aren't ready. The bottoms still have a majority of white pistils and the tops are just not there yet. I think they can get denser. They aren't quite rock hard yet, so I know they still have time. Banana Purple Punch A looks amazing. More leaning branches that are swaying in the breeze. No fade yet, but the leaves are starting to look ready for the fade. Maybe. Banana Purple Punch B is strong as ever. Definitely still packing on weight. Definitely not ready for harvest. Still another week I think. I'll check trichomes tomorrow on this one. I think I'll wait for her to be done then I can harvest both plants at once. The light seems to be just being a light now. I can't really see what it's doing, but I know the frost is there. Lol. So it must be doing something. The environment is killing me. Still over 60% and my room has climbed up to 60% as well. I have a heater running and the dehumidifier that I think is done working. My new one should be here today. And not a moment too soon. I should have replaced this one months ago. Unfortunately, I don't have much control over the heat anymore. The humidity is just over powering it and I can't get anything to change. I'm going to crank the heat and see if that helps. Like set it to 80° and see what happens. It's currently set to 74°. And 8 don't think that temp is high enough to combat the humidity. Crank it up! Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.9° RH: 63.0% VPD: .00 kPa May 16, 2024 Today is looking pretty good. I checked the trichomes on Banana Purple Punch B as she has the longest to go. I figure when she is done, Banana Purple Punch A will be as well. I've also watered them with plain water. PHed to 6.2. just a half gallon in the reservoirs. I'm not ready to let them dry out yet. Banana Purple Punch A looks great! Her branches are starting to lean a bit harder and her buds look amazing. No purple yet. Or at all. I'm not sure. But I'm certainly sure that the fade hasn't begun yet. I'm not bothering with trichomes for now. I'll just wait to see what her sister does. I'll check trichomes in a couple of days. Banana Purple Punch B looks amazing. Her buds are fat and dense. She smells great and stays strong. A bit more swaying. But it's the whole plant now. Wonderful! I checked the trichomes on this one. She is developing quite nicely. I'd say another 5 to 7 days? Maybe a little less if we're lucky. There's more cloudy trichomes than before and finally some amber. Much less clear as well. She definitely is nowhere near fading, so that's a concern for time. The light stays the same. It seems to be perfect for these two. So no changes. The environment is still a nightmare, but it's 86% humid outside and 63% in my room. Happily, not really, the humidity is down to 60%. Not good at all, but better than 63% or even 65%. I'm really hoping these ladies are super resilient. They should be. It's FastBuds and they have great genetics. The temp is fine. I haven't a bit higher to help some with the DLI. So it's hanging out around 76° to 77° for now. The new dehumidifier works way better than the other one. But a cool thing is that they are both small, so I fit them both in and it seems to be kinda working. It's keeping the humidity below what it is in my room, but not low enough. I know it will drop when I figure out how to drop it in my room. I really need a big dehumidifier for my room. That would solve quite a bit. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa

d39 ya no me caben dentro del Indoor, debajo del foco pequeño que tengo. Todavía se espera lluvia para la semana que viene, pero no caben y temo que alguna se ponga a florar por estrés, entonces las sacaré al exterior y las aclimataré. d40 Las he sacado a exterior , no les da mucho el sol, están a media sobra, esperemos que no se pongan a florar debido al cambio de fotoperiodo, son menos horas que en el Indoor, podía pasar, lo bueno es que las hemos sacado y ahora cada día están aumentando las horas de luz, mas o menos cada día tenemos 2 minutos más de sol, uno por la mañana y otro por la noche, amanece antes y se va más tarde poco a poco, si se adaptan bien, van a crecer mucho, pero si se ponen a floración veremos que hacemos, esperemos que no pase. Se le han puesto unas piedras para que se aguante la maceta, es de 2LT y con que haga viento la maceta se va al suelo y no queremos que pase eso. También se ha quitado el primer par de nodos LBP(Lower Branch Pruning), que normalmente salen ramas que no llegan a ser gran cosa. Se han quemado del sol, se ve que les da directo y no lo han soportado y se han secado, la tierra esta bastante seca al igual que muchas hojas, por suerte me he dado cuenta al cabo de unas horas, no esperaba que el sol ya pegase tan fuerte, las he cambiado de sitio y se han puesto donde no da el sol directo en ningún momento del día y están solamente a la sombra. Se han regado con un poquito de agua para que se recuperen, les he puesto una maceta más grande por fuera para que si diese el sol, que no le de a la maceta de dentro(2L) que es más pequeña y se calientan las raíces. d42 Se han regado y añadido aminoácidos(más Pro XXL 42% Aminoácidos) ya que eso ayudará a que la planta se recupere, por la tarde-noche les da el sol, no hay otro sitio que le de menos el sol directo, se han secado un pelín más la hojas, pero los brotes nuevos están blanditos y parece que las plantas seguirán creciendo bien.

31.05 yesterday was the end of the fifth week for the plants, some were transplanted yesterday, some today, and some not yet, but most of them were transplanted and topped for the first time... I was late with the topping because I didn't want to top before transplanting.. I topped most of the plants between the sixth and seventh nodes instead of between the fifth and sixth, some I even topped between the seventh and the eighth, but what's up... the weather normalized for a day and immediately started with severe heat... in the sun now it will be 40+ degrees C, until the other day it was 15, this is definitely not normal...the pictures and video are from yesterday, in the next update I will post pictures from the site Stay high ‘n’ keep growing!!!

So I had absolutely no ill effect on the plants at at all moving from the green buzz veg feed too the house & garden soil a&b feeds, I did not even given them a water only inbetween the two, I also went straight in with 50% the recommended dose stated on the house & Gardens bottles this switched happened the day before week 5 none showed any signed of defects or deficiency intact they exploded into life over night and then every day after that, I have been using the green buzz fast buds as a folar spry appied too the leaves of the early flower formation after lights out, They seemed too love that too and I also kept the note roots going in, I also started too apply C-RESULT at the fullbl dose stated on the bottle, The plants live this stuff if you have not tried it do it, I am not sponcered by c-result I was given this by my local grow store, It brings all the nutrients straight too the roots it states, All I know is this stuff triggers the plants too suck the pots dry in 24 hours, So make sure you have your feed bucket fully in order before adding this stuff as a mistake here could cost you, But get it right and in 24 hours these little autos doubled in size, It states too used week one of flower only and smells like a sewer lol I have today day one of week 6 Started too add house & garden Bud XL at half strength too increase next week and also I added there top shooter at 1ml per liter of water as 7 as I plan too removed all chemicals exactly as of day 1 of week 7 leaving me week 9 clean, I am training all the shooting tips too my scrog netting the best I can due too very limited space in the grow space, And am praying for some of the promised purple leaves on the fast buds Web site, I has on lemon pie this round that is 2 weeks behind the rest due too non germination but I am wondering if a staggered planting each plant exactly one week behind each other would give me a little more canapé space and the treat of harvesting a plant every week, Using the skyline 1000 only I did not too any of these autos 2 x strawberry cheese cake 2 x lemon pie 4 x fyah Sounds like a plan too me, Thanks for reading

11.10.2022 130 giorni dalla germinazione al raccolto 70 giorni fioritura in totale Pianta molto bella, sexy, 2 semi su 2 germinati con successo. di due piante, ho avuto 2 fenotipi leggermente diversi, entrambe le piante mostrano una struttura ibrida tendenzialmente sativa, con rami lunghi e boccioli densi e duri, ricoperti da tricomi. Ho laciato le piante crescere con un Lst applicato un po in ritardo, ma entrambe le piante hanno reagito benissimo e formato delle belle chiome a cespuglio. Profumo tendente al dolce, note di lavanda ed erbe aromatiche, una delle 2 in fase avanzata di fioritura profumava di ananas maturo, semplicemente uno spettacolo! La resa sembra buona, le cime sono di ottima qualita, aggiornerò con peso tra poche settimane!

- Third week Came back from my trip and she really shot up PH was down (around 5.5) so she absorbed a good amount of nutrients while I was away Changed reservoir with a dosage of Base A- Base B- Vege- Silica- using 1.0 ML per Liter Roots are nice but I'm starting to think she might have some sort of rot going on, going to introduce Peroxide in the water to help her out No sexing yet, I'm assuming she's a female (hopefully) Did some small LST in order for the bottom line to grow a little bit

Bonus material- my cannabutter pics. No smoke report for a while but I can give you an edibles report in a few hours 😂 Plant #1 suffered gravely and thus was harvested early, dried, and turned into beaaautiful butter/edibles hehe. The rest of it is box drying and I'll be doing the same with that. The top of the plant (first harvest of sorts, after bud rot discovered) was 49g dry, not inc ofc what was binned. I'll let you know the dry weight of the rest but no point giving you a smoke report. She was cut early and suffered a looooot The purple lemonade began as the underdog and quickly took over as my #1 babe. It was far more resilient to environmental conditions and changes- and let's not forget that they went through a hurricane with me and power out for a few days! I don't find her strong on the nose at all despite how big some of her buds are, and how frosty. Very piney, and that dominates everything else. Very excited to see what terps come out more in the cure though- I hear great things about this strain. She was cut today and is hanging in a dark closet with small fan, RH 65% and temp 22c. I did not take a wet weight, but she's heavy. Super looking forward to smoking this one, after a few more weeks of TLC... Sigh. Always we try to wait haha. I will report back when I have more for you all. Thanks to everyone that answered my questions and supported me through my first grow. I've definitely got the bug now and there'll be no stopping me haha Will be back with smoke report and dry weights laterrr 🇨🇦 --- Nov 12 - Plant dried for 6 days. It is a lot airier than I thought it was going to be, so most of it ended up as shake for edibles or something. I ended up with 38g of big bud, 33 of smaller, and over 40g of larf and shake. Even the big buds are airy though, not dense at all. A little disappointing for sure, but I made a lot of mistakes so it isn't a surprise. It is now in jars with humidity packs and I'll report back in a couple of weeks or so with a smoke report :)

02/07/2026 A new week and I believe we are starting the pre-flower stretch... Maybe. I'll ve leaving the nutrients alone for some of the week. I need to make sure she's in stretch or not before I change out my nutrients. She's already got white pistils and is 14" tall. That's 5" in a week. Not too shabby. Now if we can get an inch or 2 a day from here on out, I'll be very happy. Once I know the stretch is in motion, I think that's when I start changing out the nutrients. Like bud if itor and big bud. Oh and bud factor x. These all go in on week 5. Which should be this week, BUT I started the veg cycle early. So it's really a week behind. In that regard, I should be keeping the same mix as last week. So I'll compromise and change the water out when I know we are stretching. I snipped the main stem fan leaves as well. It was definitely a good idea. Now the branches have space to grow and not be impeded by massive fan leaves bigger than my hand. I left the very top two fan leaves as I like to do. I feel like the leaves are too new to snip off. Once the node gets a little bit older, I'll snip them off as I go. Speaking of nodes, she has 8 and is working on 9. But then I think that's it. From here on out, she'll be stretching the main cola. I have to figure out a way to tie the top down so the rest of the branches can catch up. I hand bend it, but not enough. I would need to be in the tent like 4 times a day. Not that I mind, but like 4 times messing with the environment will be a pain. The heater is overheating as it is. I'm gonna have to swap it out. Not sure how it's overheating. It should be on like 4. But then again. It's 1° f outside today. Wind chill is -17° f. So maybe it's trying to compensate. But it's like 70° f in the apartment. Outdoors can't play that big of a role, surely. Anyway, on top of popping some leaves off, I cleared out the small bit of growth under the canopy. The goal for this run is to properly defoliate and prune an autoflower. Only keep the top 2/3 of the plant. It won't be very hard to be selective with this plant. Everything is so very uniform. Something that's pretty cool is all the bud clipped branches are starting to grow at the same time and seems to be the same pace. This should level out the canopy to table top flatness. The only thing that will bother me is the top. Considering the fact that I couldn't tie her down, her top buds will be bigger than the canopy buds. Which is ok, but I want a sea of buds, not a nipple. We'll see how it turns out. Maybe if I hand train the top down, for a couple days, the branches will start to catch up. So I'm still considering the trellis net. I'm not sure though. I do have an air pump specifically for this purpose, but like how the hell am I gonna clean the bucket out weekly? There's just no way. None that I can think of. I mean I could slide the roots to another bucket for the time being, but how will I remove the bucket without lifting the plant? I don't know. Well, water pump it is I guess. That's only if I use the trellis net. Very possible. However, her branches are super strong and will definitely be able to handle heavy buds. And lots of them. The environment is looking good today. Happily it's stable, it at the cost of an overheating heater. 02/08/2026 Looking good today! I believe she has started the pre -flower stretch. She sucked down a little under a gallon in 2 days. So that's good. I'll be changing the water out tomorrow for some fresh nutrients. I think I'm supposed to start the transition from grow nutes to bloom nutes as well. I can't remember if it's before or after the stretch. I'm thinking after? I need to research this. After a bit of research, it seems bloom nutes start after the stretch. So maybe I won't be changing the water after all tomorrow. Who knows. I must research more. Other than that, she is a beautiful plant. Stretching out her side branches almost enough for me to be able to bud clip them. Currently they are long and thin and already leaning out, so no sense in training them yet. I'll wait for them to start really stretching. Then I'll do some more training, maybe. We'll see. What I've done so far might be enough. The goal is to fill half the tent. Front to back. Then the other plant does the same thing and I have a full tent. They have to stay a little thin and less wide though so they don't encroach on the others space. The humidity and temp are just wrong. The AI doesn't seem to get the fact that less is more. Oh well. It's pretty decent. 02/09/2026 Omg she is looking great! 16" now and just started the stretch. Beautiful greens and super thick stem. The branches aren't as thick as the blue dream in the tent, but they are definitely thick and sturdy. A little easier to bend too. But the internodal spacing on the branches is too short to fit clips in. So I'm going to wait until the stretch really gets underway. Auxiliary branches are starting to get pretty long too. But they're already horizontal, so no sense in bending them. Well, yet anyway. They'll start lift up soon enough. I might have to raise the light soon. It's 17" from the canopy. I want it higher and brighter. I'll probably wait for 15" then raise it back up to 22" and increase the intensity to probably 6 or 7. We'll see. Currently the DLI is 38 mol. I'd say perfect for this age. Very close to 40 but not there quite yet. Perfect. The environment looks alright now. I attached the hose to the humidifier so now it's dropping from above and is much more stable. Once I lift the light up higher, I'll feel much more comfortable. The fog is really close to the light. 02/10/2026 Well today is the day. I think. So I noticed the tips of the top growth starting to turn yellow. Definitely a deficiency. I'm guessing nitrogen given the need for it during the stretch. But what I'm going to do is increase the nutrients from 2.5 ml per gallon to 1 ml per liter. There's 15 liters, so it's half of what the recommended dose is. It should be fine. Readings after water change. pH: 5.8 EC: 880 TDS: 442 Temp: 64.4° This might not be enough nutrients. But we'll see for now. 02/11/2026 So I'm pretty sure I screwed up again. The water temp was definitely higher than 70° this morning because I forgot to add an ice bottle last night. So naturally there were bubbles all over the place. Like big bubble foam. Not sure if that's good or bad. But if it's bad, that's what Hydrogaurd is for. We'll see what happens now that I got the water to cool down. On a better note, she's still growing strong. Leaves are getting bigger, she's stretching and branches are making more branches. Lol. The environment seems pretty good now. No issues with the equipment specifically the heater. I raised the light yesterday and increased the power to match. Now the DLI is at 39 mol. Just under 40. I'll bring it over 40 after the stretch. I have CO2 in the tent, so I could go up to 45 mol if not 50 mol. But I'm gonna keep it at 40, maybe a little higher. It all depends on what she wants. I can definitely increase the intensity. Just don't want to risk light stress. On a better note, I have tons of space for this plant to grow. Like a good 3 ft. of space. So she can grow a good 4 ft tall and still not take over the tent. Well, no true. If she ends up being that big she will most certainly take over the tent. Let's hope the Blue Dream can hold her own. Anyway, I don't really expect a 4 ft plant. I'll be happy with 3 ft. As long as it has colas for days, I'm happy. Plus, height doesn't really matter in tents. It's width that matters. How many tops can one make in a limited space. Spread the plant out keeping a low profile. That way all the buds get light and not a select few that would otherwise be over the canopy. For example, this plant is going to be tall with a lower canopy and one main cola. I didn't really want this structure, but I don't have any tie downs. And the top won't grow a long enough node that's thin enough to bend. So I can't even use the bud clips. And now the side branches are building a lot of nodes and none are spaced out enough to use a bud clip on. Well, it doesn't really matter anyway. All the side and auxiliary branches are growing outward and not up, Soni don't need to train those down. Honestly, this would have been the perfect opportunity to learn how to top. But that bus went by a long time ago. 02/12/2026 So I topped her off today. Current dose. What's weird is that the water is still lower than when I did the new mix. It's only been 2 days. I'm wondering if I should be adding more to the mix to bring it back up to 450 ppm. The pH is fine now. It was a little high, but now it's back down to 6.2. The EC and TDS are way low. Like 800 cm and 396 ppm. I'm pretty sure I want to be around 900 cm and 450 to 500 ppm. Not too sure though. She seems to be a light feeder. Not complaining. Less nutrients to use. So now I'm wondering if I need to add more to the mix. Like 5 ml more of bloom and 2.5 of everything else except for Silica Blast and Hydrogaurd. Those are already at the normal dose. Maybe I just need more cal/mag? I'm not sure. I also wonder why the mix I'm using now is lighter than what I used before. It was 450. Should t it be the same 450 that it was before? Very confused. 02/13/2026 Friday the 13th! What a fun day. She got big. Explosive growth. It seems she hasn't started to stretch up yet. But she's definitely getting wide. I want her tall though. She should get taller soon. I don't mind a short plant, but she doesn't have enough nodes for my liking. Not enough bud sites. If she had like super short internodal spacing, I wouldn't be too worried, but she doesn't. Lol. Long spacing. So she definitely has some growing to go. No top off needed today. I did swap out the ice bottles. It wasn't that warm either, so I think I'm keeping the temp down all together. Technically, the water temp shouldn't be a problem at night and in the morning. But I can understand the heat turning on full blast during lights on. Now if I were a waking man, I'd be awake at 6 am to swap the bottles out. But I'm not. I sleep to like 8:30. Lol. The environment is looking pretty good. No complaints here. This is the last week of veg I think. Maybe not? I don't know where to place the pre flower stretch. Considering the name is Pre-flower, I'd say it's not flower, but it's not really veg. Well shit. I'll figure it out. Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 700 TDS: 349 Temp: 66.7°

Week 6 pf budding is complete yesterday...just a couple to 3 weeks for theses girls...the yellower one will go first...all from the same Bruce Banner Fast pouch of seed but that one looks different...but very diesel smelling....Quite sticky and just a few hairs browning up. Gave them the last Gaia feeding with some Root Farm nutes

Finally harvested this girl at days 68. She is heavy. After cutting the ties, this girl just fell over from the weight! Very minimal larf! Even the lower bud sites are nice! Can't wait to see what she weighs once dry! First DWC grow was an overall success!
