All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. 84/14 Fun with Filters VPD was controlled at reduced temps and RH today - RH now set to 55% max and Temps are 75F at max Over night allowed down to 67F when lights go out. Lights were good and same as yesterday with some light LST PPFD at 750 down to 550. I used 20 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR with 15 before and after main lights on/off. She's now about 25" tall and 35" wide. Also took some black back and shadow pics for fun (no filters or sharpen only) Day 85/15 Feed Day I gave 2 gallons of de-chlorinated tap combined with 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix total 600ppm and a ph of 6.4. Foliar sprayed some on the outer leaves and left the tent door open to help dry them. (took like 15 minutes with the fans.) top soil ph checked at 6.22ph and run off was at 5.74 with 1580ppm Lights at a range of 750 to 500 Ran 25 minutes of UV and the standard 1hr IR with 15/15 before and after lights on/off and 30/30 at that time. VPD was easy to manage with the doors open and then the fan seemed to have to work more today but just more often and not high fan. Day 86/16 Humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. Tips carried a little burn on them today, some all over which makes me think nute burn because ppfd was 550 to 750 as it has been for a few days now and there are tips on leaves with little direct light showing burn as well. Will continue to monitor as well. IR and UV are set on timers and I screwed up with mine today. I was supposed to change the setting and forgot (time change screwed me up and I thought I did it when I changed timers that needed correction) until it was too late and ended up giving her 30 minutes of IR and 1 hour of UV... will have to check/monitor for effects tomorrow. The good news is that she's had a little over two weeks with UV so maybe not so bad. (fingers crossed it doesnt stress her too much) Day 87/17 Again, humidity was high at 60%RH for most of the day, the ILV was kicking on throughout the day and I have two de-humidifiers going on high. Temps on the other hand was controlled at about 74F. If I open the tent for a while I can get the humidity down by about another 5% so tomorrow I plan to leave it open after I feed again. Took some light burn from yesterday's extended UV exposure, but read that it's not bad to take on some stress from UV in flower, especially if you still have time to recover. The pros suggest that you can stress her to grow defensive systems that may create thicker/stickier leaves and flowers with more terpene production. The cons however suggest that it could stress too much and stunt the growth or in extreme/sudden cases, cause her to herm. (thus why they say in mid flower is best if you plan to stress with UV) So it is what it is. I will monitor the leaves that took damage and likely remove them this week when I defoliate schwazz style. I still resumed the schedule of increasing UV as planned but ahead a few days now so 45minutes of UV and 1 hr IR with 15/15 before and after main lights on/off. Day 88/18 Lots happening today. Firstly, I found a split today... on the main stem trunk, so I used superglue to seal the cracks and held together while it set. Then I wrapped it with heavy duty gorilla tape, two 1ft pieces as both a clamp and a support on the other side. I then tied each cola to the inner ring. So then I decided that since I am here having to work on this I may as well go ahead and do the defoliation I was planning for tomorrow. Schwazze style defoliation (at least my interpretation of the method without having to buy the book, super defoliate week 1 and 3 of flower - so almost) Then after that I also preformed heavy strength training - I broke each cola right under the bud sites that I left and bent her outward. I then upped the lights ever so slightly and have a max of 850 ppfd and low of 650 ppfd now. She had 45 minutes of UV and 1 hr of IR same routine, IR on/off at main light schedule with 15 before and after main lights. VPD is better now that I placed another open air vent at the bottom, this one is 6 inch. I also placed the fans a little better to blow directly on the leaves left behind. Low speed for now, but as the leaves come back I plan to increase to get dancing leaves in the middle too. Temps were 74F and RH 55% with the ILV set to auto. I plan to feed 2 gallons of 650ppm 25:75 Veg/Bloom mix. Since my last ph was really low I am going to increase the feed to 7.0ph - not sure what if anything I can do about ppm. Day 89/19 VPD was normal with the exception of holding the tent open as I said I was going to today. Temps at 74F and RH mostly 55% with the ILV set to auto. PPFD also checking in with the same settings/results today, 880 to about 650 ppfd. UV was set for 45 minutes midday, and IR with the same 1 hr with 15 minutes before and after main light on/off. Water feed today with about 2.25 gallons of 7.0 ph de-chlorinated tap diluted with 25:75 ratio of veg/bloom mix (690 ppm total) watered until drip started and I got about .25 gallon runoff. Runoff measured 5.75 ph and 1630 ppm (top soil tested 4x with avg of 6.35) Next feed will be a plain water salt flush. Plant looked so nice a day today that I decided to take some more black back pics. Day 90/20 VPD and PPDF were fine today with normal settings of 74F/55%RH/Auto ILV - PPFD ranged from 550 to 750 because of HST on the limbs. This will be the last stress I give her and hope it wasnt too much. Hoping this all results in a big yield and not a herm.

Day 28: Having sorted the over filling issue of the res and now the roots of GG#4 and ghost can breath again !, we have had a good progression this week. Wedding cake is covered with buds after the strip out of her larf and popcorn finally. I scrapped a lot of small budlets in the process but she has rewarded me with some great bud building for it. She is beginning to smell a little now and has a sweet smell to her. Nice and sticky feel to her leaves now too. Black Ghost OG is up for it now with some nice bud forming this week . her fat stems could hold a good sized bud so hopefully she will use it. Gorilla Glue#4 has been a must grow for a long time fornme but I have gotten sidetracked with lots of variety and done strains with it in their somewhere. I am now so stoked to have an original GG#4 to test against the cousins , distant cousins and cousins twice removed. !!!. She is growing so well now and getting g a nice colour back into her leaves. She is covered in tall trichrome build up on her sugar leaves already amd had me trying to focus my camera as it looked out of focus due to them !!!!.She is turning into the lady i so wanted an evening with all that time. Overall a great week for sertingnher stacking nodes for the final 5 weeks fattening and swelling. Be safe folks. peace and love Growmies.

I started germination of 2 Critical purple kush beans on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plugs were just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made holes. Than I sowed my beans into the holes. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the holes in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plugs into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see some sprouts. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plugs planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get these ladies situated into their home. Cant wait! Some Background information on my experience with CPK. I've ran this strain a good dozen times. It's a very short, robust, and branchy variety. Packs on fat dense colas with immaculate bud structre and trichome production. It's a fairly fast finisher and packs a real potent stoned. She gets very sexy purple highlights and hues. Some phenos more purple than others but I've always got color. She doesn't mind lst, and some good training work greatly increases yeilds. I've ran her inside and out and all times of the year. She seems to strive and flourish in any environment. Just give her that light and watch her grow! She packs a very signature kush pallet and she always has a spot in my rotation! Seedsman knocked it out the park with these genetics.

7/7 2AM MONDAY Awesome week last week, AMINOS are working better then I cold have imagined!!!! I got a new AC Infinity Germination Propagation system, lights and all. Now I can have a mobile one for the kitchen and veggies..... I never thought I would become a gardener. now I understand how cells work, how it all works... and most information is outdated and inaccurate!!! I should be able to find a mix of human aminos I can use in these plants to overcome heat and salinity AND lower wattage because of increased photosynthesis from application of AMINOS with healthy diet of AN as a base!!!! 725am setting up the new AC Infiniti germination kit or Sith Lord propagation system 145pm BANANA PURPLE PUNCH....JUST SMOKED SOME CUT OFF BOTTOM BRANCH. WAS NOT HARSH..RIGHT OFF THE PLANT AND NOT HARSH. BONG, WATER FILTER BUT NOT TOO BAD. SHE SMELLS SO STRONG AND FRUITY AND FRESH, NOT BAD, SMALL SIZE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN TASET OR EFFECT. THE AMINOS MUST BE DOING SOMETHING. ALL STALKS ACROSS ALL PLANTS AND 3 DIFFERENT GROWS ARE MUCH STRONGER!!! SMALL 1 GALLON GROWS CAN MAKE STALKS THIN HOWEVER THIS WILL COMPENSATE FOR THAT WITH AMINO, M BLUE, SILICA, FULL STRENTH AN CON 4ML PER L. 7/8 1am THIN STALKS / PROBLEM/RESOLUTION - 1 gallon veg will lead to thinner stalks than tall plants can self support. RESOLUTION: REIFORCMENTS THROUGH AMINOS AND MBLUE. MB & AMINO /NUTRIENTS COMBINATION REACTS WITH NITROGEN DURING VEGETATIVE PERIOD GIVING EXTRA PLASTICITY & STRENGTH TO LEAF SURFACE. ALMOST RUBBER LIKE IN SHINE AND FEEL. STALKS / MAIN AND OFFSHOOTS ARE SIMILAR, THE VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SILICA DELIVERED WITH MB/AMINOS/NUTES. WORK TO MASSIVELY INCREASE STRENGTH!!!!! 4X AT LEAST WITH SAME THICKNESS!!!!!!👨‍🔬. AND LST WORKING TO ALSO INCREASE BRANCH THICKNESS AND FULLNESS xylem/phloem just awesome ....AROMAS ARE HEAVY AFTER FEEDINGS....I CANT BURN THE LEAF TIPS WITH THIS COMBO. I HAVE TO BUY ALL 18 AMINOS AND DO MILLIGRAM DOSES...I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT YET. YET!! copy and paste title so I can find this again!!!!!!! Amino Acid Transporters in Plants: Identification and Function .....https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/8/972..... FUNICULUS....FOR HOME SYSTEM THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT PRACTICALITY OR SMELL OR STORAGE....AMINOS AND ORGANICS STINK....FOLAR AMINO SPRAYS WOULD STINK UP THE TENT, THE HOUSE, I DONT SEE HOW A SPRAY WOULD BE A CLEAN SOLUTION. SO AMINOS WILL NOT BE SPRAYED IN A SMALL HOME ENVIRONMENT, TOO DIRTY. 230AM SOLUTION IS TO AMINO THE ROOTBALL. DIFF. CONCENTRATION OF N WILL BURN THO....HMMMM. NOT A PHD..ADVANCED HOBBY. DONT NEED ALL THIS...SO AMINOS ARE ROOT DELIVERED WITH MBLUE 1 DROP PER L. WHICH ONES AND WHEN NEXT. THIS SYSTEM IS FOR FUCKED UP PEOPLE TIRED AND NOT VERY MOBILE....SO EVERYTHING MUST BE PRESTENED EASY TO USE. 305AM....I SMOKED BBP LASNIGHT FULLY GROWN WITH MB AND I DIDNT WAKE UP ANY MORE RETARED THAN USUAL SO ITS GOOD. 545am """A critical review of citrulline malate supplementation and exercise performance...https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8571142/"""". 🍉"to achieve an intake of 10 g of L-citrulline, ingestion of around 3–5 kg of fresh watermelon (highest concentration of all foods) would be required and this is not only impractical for athletes (Davis et al. 2011), but would also not contain a sufficient dose of the malate component."😂 in 2L 💦: 2 drops Methylene Blue 5 percent, 5 drops Quick Sorb Amino Acid, 1 pill (contents not the gel) Nitric Boost, 0.5ml Rhino Silica, 8mL Con. Bloom A+B, 3ml Big Bud by AN. AND Bud Factor X 4ml.... that might be too much!!!! 10AM.....RESULTS ARE BLOWING MY FUCKING MIND.!!!!!! 2BBB AND 2 GOATS NO BURNS...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?????? FULL NUTE LOAD!!!!!! I ADDED BUD FACTOR X, I SHOULD SEE BURNS AND CURLS...AND IM NOT!!!!!! TIP TRAIN THE ROOTBALL SYSTEM LIKE A SEPERATE LIFE FORM. WATER QUICKLY & LIGHTLY THE TOP TO ALART THE PLANT OF INCOMING WATER FROM BOTTOM, THIS PULLS WATER UP FIRST, THEN BOTTOM FEED TO KEEP FLOW UPWARD AND CONSISTENT, SLOW POURS WORK. 1020am goat by Royal Queen seeds might be one of the best plants I’ve ever seen in my life and all of the plants from fast buds to seedsman bubbles blueberry F4 all with the treatment I’m using are growing and expanding faster than I’ve ever seen stronger stocks than I’ve ever seen in no burns. I may have locked in the system that prevents burns and grows in very difficult environments I have not done any flushing, so there is an excessive nutrient and salt buildup in the fertilizer in the soil and we’re still having fantastic results.👍👍👍👍👍👍💥💥💥💥💥💥🚨🚨🚨 7/9 330am methylene blue, aminos are working on the plants AND me!!!!!!!!!! Best results so far. I didn't pH the water right it was probably 6.5 or higher. I see a little stress on G Gas F1, not bad GG auto had stress burns prior to new MB/Amino she is doing great even with way too high fertilizer !!!!!

Day late on the update, pics/vids were taken on time tho just been a crazy week of harvests and trimming and keeping up with these. I transplanted all of them into 1 gallon bags 4 days ago from today. I linked up with Rain Science Grow Bags on Instagram and got them to offer all my followers and friends a discount of 10% off entire order from their site with the code ' bangdang ' so if anyone is in the market for a pot upgrade use that code. I got them in the mail 3 days after I ordered. Reason I went with Rain Science is because they offer identical air flow for rapid growth as the radicle bags, just using a different material and a tighter knit so water doesnt flood out the sides during feeds and when you pick these up when the coco is dry, it wont fly all over the tent like with the radicles. They're the optimal bag for autoflowers especially.

Esa familia, finalizamos la 3 semana de floración la verdad que poco cambios en la flor, en verdad odio la autoflorecientes en indoor, me parece que son mejor opción os un Exterior o un balcón pero, ante todo os tengo que mostrar la experiencia con autos también y que mejor genética que la misty gorilla autofloreciente de Zambezaseeds. Y es que entre la variedad y la alimentación que estamos aportando, gracias a AgroBeta están respondiendo bastante bien, en las próximas semanas imagino que empezaré a notar diferencias ya. Ph regulado en 6.2 temperatura entorno a los 26.5 grados y la humedad está en 50%. Sufro de una pequeña placa de mosca del sustrato, a estas alturas poco afectará pero vaya, que sepan que con el calor del verano pues también sufrí algún problema respecto a esto anterior. Me despido entre buenos humos, hasta la próxima semana.

Buds are really frosting up coming to to harvest. Most trichs are showing as cloudy with the occasional 1 Amber. Will run 1 more week under the light. 3 /4 days of regular tap water (de-Chlorinated ) followed by 48 hours of darkness before the chop. I wish I had the space initially to train to its full potential but exited to get 4 new autos on the go.

Continue with the LST this week, plant canopy is looking good, I also started to do a bit of defoliation on the lower part of the branches this week as well. I've also topped the plant one time. Overall a good week. In a few weeks, I will probably need to install my drip system. DAY 51 - Water PH - 5.93 PPM- 550 Solution Temp - 21 Watering Volume - 4.5L DAY 55 - Nutes PH - 5.85 PPM- 1860 Solution Temp - 24.5 Watering Volume - 3L

D64. We're at the start of the fifth week of flower, and today, the Purplematic moved out, and now the Gorilla girl is all alone in the tent. I also switched out her light from the big Kingbrite to the much smaller Viparspectra P600. I need the bigger light in my other tent, and even though the Viparspectra is a low-power light, I believe it should be enough, considering how small the Gorilla girl is. I could have put in one of the Greenception lights from my other tent, but it honestly was too much of a bother. ------------------------------ D66. Yesterday, I gave her 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5 with humic acid and calmag. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) for combatting the thrips in my photo tent arrived, and I also dispersed a few of them in this tent. I haven't seen any thrips damage on the Gorilla girl, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be proactive. I also did minor defoliation to increase light penetration and air circulation. ------------------------------ D68. Not much to report besides that this is one STINKY girl. She stinks up the entire lungroom, and I have ordered a new carbon filter. Her senescence is slowly increasing, and I suspect she will be done soon-ish, although I haven't even looked at her trichomes yet. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and chop day is getting close. Her senescence is progressing nicely, and today, I checked her trichomes for the first time and already found quite a few amber ones. She is coming down in a few days, but it won't be a large harvest due to her stunting. However, she smells fantastic, so I'm counting on a great smoke. I went to WAR today against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

I really enjoyed this strain to grow, did a little mistake and flipped them to 12/12 too early (I anticipated too much the stretch and with the mainlining technique, stretch was not that bigger). Amazing smell, full of trichomes. And probably next time I won't use the tabs from biotabs because you can't really control how much nutriments your plant will have, but the others products from biotabs worked really well!

All 3 plants are adapting very well to LST, the shape its growing into have been allowing the light to reach further into the lower growth nodes and branches. I like to start bending the branches close to the main stem as early as week 3 of VEG. Now these 3 Northern Lights Auto seeds are from Sun West Genetics, they were all germinated, planted, trained, fed the same way they have been on the same controlled environment since day 1, the 3 are totally different, I know each plant is unique in its own way, but I find strange that 1 plant is taller and stronger than the other 2, the smaller one is growing weak leaves with signs of mutation, all 3 plants show signs of Magnesium deficiency, these 3 plants are sharing a grow tent with a Haze Auto from Seedsman, all 4 plants are under the same diet, the Haze have no signs of deficiencies or mutations, I guess that shows what good genetics look like. For the Magnesium deficiency I have mixed my own Epson salts into water and applied as a foliar spray, internet said the spray should be used every other week, wait 2 weeks to see results. Signs of Nutes burn, I decided to stop feeding for this coming week. The 3 NL leaves are looking unhappy, kind of clawing under, they look lifeless, I have ruled off a few potential problems such as: Wind Burn Under Watering Water PH Light Burn, just moved the QB higher to 17 inches from the highest canopy today. If any of you fellow growers have advice for the leaves, please let me know. Stay Lit folks 👩‍🌾🏻

Noticed the blueberry requires lots of nitrogen and stretches much. All plants fed nutrients 1 per week and microbes once per week with regular watering in between. Start of 5th week of flower.

So this and last week was all about dialing and maintaining temperature and humidity.. It's been quite hard to get the precise temperature and humidity because my growing closet is packed...My Gawd.. So she finally has Milky Trichs between the middle of her... The one thing that I wanted to test... So as I mentioned my closet is stacked lol so I decided to Chop off her 2 main Colas..Unfortunately I think my Grow light was placed too close to her canopy.. Which caused the two Main Colas trichomes to turn about 30% amber.. So this is a good trial to see if this will cause the smaller collas to fatten.. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞 🔀
