F week 1.

<Frisian Duck🦆> Se inicia germinacion de 3 semillas. ▪️︎El día 7 de Nov 22 en un recipiente con agua purificada.. ▪️︎El día 8 de Nov se colocan en toallas húmedas. ▪️︎ El día 10 de Nov 22 se coloca 1 semilla que germino en sustrato. ▪️︎ El día 12 Nov 22 ya creciendo.

Aquí seguimos, separamos ya los machos y nos quedamos con 5 hembras de las 9 que seleccionamos. Más del 50% muy contento. Durante estas 2 semanas hemos estado luchando contra una pedazo de plaga de mosquitos que hemos sufrido. La cosa parece que mejora pero habrá que estar muy atentos. La floracion va en camino podría ser mucho mejor pero la plaga ha hecho sufrir a las plantas. Iremos actualizando. Buenos humos.

End of Week 4 of Flower for the Alien OG, growing wise it is a great, easy strain to grow, no issues whatsoever to this point from seedling stage..... My best grow so far! 👍🏾

The ladies are packing on beautifully and we are now giving them extra strength light during 12:00 till 14:00 slot 100% and lowering the light back down to 75% from 14:00 till 17:00 and then 50% light from 17:00 till 23:00. Lets see what happens

-

Just a amazing lady to have grown. Very pleased with her. She has been growing a little later in the season then I planned but she did well even I’m with the heat. I’m glad with how she turned out. Very nice lady. Would grow her again. 🎂🎂

30.7. - 06.08. Die Blüten werden fetter und riechen sehr lecker. Bis auf Wasser gießen und ein bisschen Ackerschachtelhalm Tee füttern musste ich nicht viel machen.

I subjected her to my version of "light" HST this week (i.e. I snap the stem ~20cm from the top so it's broken but attached, then I massage/twist the broken stem between my fingers until it's crushed and soft, but I don't tip them 90° instead I leave them standing tall). I normally tip them 90° bit this is something I started to do recently and it's more convenient with bushy tight plants (imo).

Beginning of week 7 in flower, only two more weeks left if they ripen like they did last time. Plants are beginning to smell, develop triches and fattening up. They're not going to get any taller but compared to my first grow they're double in size. It's getting really intense. I'm in there every day checking humidity (on the no defol side) and I'm starting to struggle keeping up with the feed. During lights off I've found the plants eat the most food. I topped up the res, added 25% more PK. I try to keep the plants at 700 ppm and in the space of four hours it dropped to 600 ppm (towards the end of lights off). I stopped directly loading with Calcium Nitrate and instead used a regular calmag. I'm about to go overboard with Calcium Nitrate again and bump the ppm up to 1k. Will see how far the ppm drops the next day. 17/02/20 Update: The plants are beginning to smell a lot more, it has that kind of fermenting pungent smell from a red paw paw but applied to a mango. Very sweet, it literally smells like I'm growing some kind of tropical fruit. Still struggling with the feed, I added close to 40g of calcium nitrate and the plants still dropped the ppm lower than when I boosted it. I find it really frustrating that Dual Fuel only sell as a pair. Part 2 is amazing for late flower. Potassium sulphate and Magnesium sulphate, it's the perfect PK boost and I don't know anyone other nutrient like it. The other PK boosters always have too much P. 18/02/20 Update: Still battling my plants and the efforts to keep up with them is still frustrating me. Ran out of potassium Sulphate and bought Bio Diesel Rhino K 0-0-15 as a substitute, talk about expensive but I was desperate. 19/02/20 Update: Uploaded how I pump calcium into my plants this late into flower. They eat more than what I showed daily. That's 100+ ppm of Ca everyday! I don't know how much pectin this plant has now but the Brix would have to be through the roof compared to my first grow. 20/02/20 Update: finally got the feed right for a twelve hour period. I'm using two times the amount of K any bloom booster recommends and I'm probably using ten times the amount of calcium easily. I'm also going to feed as minimal N from now on, I'd cut it out completely if I could but I rely on Micros for the macro nutrients. Spent $65 on that bottle of potash and I used a third of a bottle for one nutrient change, think I'll stick to using powered water soluble potassium sulfate. My main concern is that I won't be providing enough iron with the little Micro I'm giving it. Going to throw a couple of rustry nails into the res. I'm about to do a top up...dropping the Micro super low, putting minimal part 2 in. Along with all the fulvics, humics, kelp and other acids my ppm only sits at 244. Which gives me plenty of room to load up on calcium. Top up the mag cause what was in the part 2 wasn't enough then load K. 21/02/20 Update: The plants finally stalled and took a breather yesterday. Didn't upload any photos cause it looked the same as the day before. By the end of the evening it looked like the explosive growth started back up again and the photos from today will show it. The ppm was creeping up not down this time...finally over feeding them. Dropped the extra loading of calcium and potassium to regular bloom phase levels and bumped the chelators up instead. Update 22/02/20: plants aren't eating what they were. Ppm is remaining stable at 800. I won't dilute the res just yet. Still holding off to see if it goes up again. If it goes down I'll refeed the same formula as last time that has reduced calcium and potassium.

These plants are extra bushy.. would of defoliated them more but I restricted them alot during veg in the small pots! They did take quite some time to recover from that I think I will just learn for next time

Transplant went good switched em to 5gallon pots. Just giving them some more ph'd water for this next week. Getting ready to flip these girls to flower.

ALRIGHTY THEN REMINDER I DO 2 UPDATES PER WEEK 👉WEEKLYROUNDUP👈👉MIDWEEKLY UPDATE👈 At this very moment , hint of Grape Crush Soda smells 😛 Which is awsome We just hit week 6 and all is well , for the most part , still having a little Cal/Mag issue but hopfully with some adjustments I got under control 😃 ....... Middle of last week I have decided to start with her little sister and started a little training by pulling her over to the side 👌 And will continue to LST this week👈 And she's also showing Cal/Mag problem but like her big sister I have made adjustments and hope that works she's already begun next faze by flowering 😲 They are so quick 👈 Baby Sister Plant #2 Is 4 weeks 28 days from seed rain water to be used entire growth👍 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉IF ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO HANGOUT VIA GROWDIARIES AND TALK GROWING AND JUST CHILL AND WHATEVER .....👈 👉I CREATED GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs AND SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT !!!!!!!

Day 57, very happy so far, plants are just taking everything they get, a very easy strain to grow. Added Bud Explosion this week as flower has kicked in, really looking forward to the next month as temps drop in my part of the world. Thinking of letting temps be a little cooler in grow area as they seem to enjoy it. Thanks to those who comment I enjoy hearing from other fellow growers, learning new things and becoming better at growing this magnificent plant. Happy growing ✌️

I've already cut a few buds this week, so that the effect is not too deadly and suitable for work

Photos taken at Day 25: They start to recover and grow again. Sprayed them with Canna Cure to get more healthy leafs. Removed the humidifier. Lets hope they will grow for another week before they go into preflowering. Thats it for now, new pictures and updates will follow within this week. Stay tuned! Update: Day 28: Canna cure did his thing. The leafs start to get greener again. Also my feedings made them grow and recover again. Removed some lower branches and leafs. They are back in the race!

Well, week 9 of flower in the books and she is done as of this posting on 5/19 (day 63). She finished up well and the trichome development has nice mix of milky with a little amber. She's is extremely frosty and gives off a super strong smell of fruity goodness. She'll be cut down today, so stay tuned for the subsequent harvest report and pics. All in all, first time DWC bucket grow went well, in my estimation. It's a lot of work, but the results speak for themselves. I learned a lot with respect to monitoring ph, ppm, and ppfd readings, as well as reading my plant for visual cues. I eventually understood I needed daily readings b/c growing hydro conditions can change on a dime, especially for someone new to this growing method. But once I found my stride, the process became easier. Another lesson learned was how much space is needed for vegetative and flower stretch. I literally had to move the buckets from the original 2x4 tent to the larger 3x3. And that is where she finished up. First time growing using Ethos seeds, which
