On day 1 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. I defoliated leaves blocking the inside/lower canopy to give more light to lower growth points keeping the top 2 leaves on cola tops. The girls are deff still stretching :) So far so good. I'm glad I flipped to flower early this run and could see even dropping the veg time by another week. Its tough working in a small grow space but I'm determined to master it lol. I lowered the lights intensity from 85% to 75% to give my tops 600-800 PPFD. Usually I just blast the plants with 100% until the stretch is over but I'm realizing that I'm way over doing it based on my quantum sensors data. On day 2 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. The girls are still stretching and putting out new preflowers. My tallest cola is 9" from the light(the other lower colas are between 10"-12" away from grow light). On day 3 I adjusted the reservoirs PH up from 6.0 to 6.3. My tallest cola is 8.5" from the grow light. Lower colas are mostly 10" away from light. On day 4 the reservoirs PH is 6.3. My tallest cola is 7.5" from my grow light and the average/lower cola distance from grow light is 10-11". I defoliated large leafs that are blocking lower bud sites and or touching each other causing wet spots on the leaves. I want as much airflow as possible as I can not control my night time humidity which can be as high as 80%-90%. My last run I noticed some sugar leaves touching my grow box walls and this caused them to start rotting. I want to avoid that this time around so I'm being careful not to have any wet spots from leaves laying on each other as well as keeping all colas far enough from my walls. In the future I would like to have the ability for de humidification but being in a small grow box in a garage makes it difficult to control my lung room. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH up from 6.1 to 6.3. My tallest cola is 7" from the grow light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10" away from light. I defoliated and removed lower bud sites not receiving enough light. On day 6 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. My tallest cola is 6.5" from the grow light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10". My tallest cola is getting 1000 PPFD while my lowers are 600-800 PPFD. On day 7 I changed out the reservoir and adjusted the PH to 6.1. The tallest cola is 6" from the light. Lower colas are mostly 9"-10"

* Increased PPM TO 1050 * I’m getting more fruity, citrus smell now. It’s not overpowering just really light. When it rubs on my hands and clothes the residue is more potent. * The 2 late flowering plants don’t seem to be progressing look the same to me. Maybe they are more on the photo period pheno with sativa dominance.

8/12/2023 - Day 39 Veg: she seemed to be handling the topping well. I'm also seeing more signs of the lower branches starting to grow, which tells me the topping has helped. Other than her slow growth, she looks healthy. 8/16/2023: watered again today using water at about 6 ph. Mixed in Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Silica, Calmag, BuildASoil Big 6, Pure Protein Dry, Rootwise Mycrobe omplete, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and some Dr. Zymes Eliminator. The plant is finally getting big enough to start bottom watering soon, so this will likely be on of the last top watering until flower. Also, I defoliated a couple leaves that were blocking the lower branches, and super cropped the top, to promote more growth in the lower branches. 8/18/2023: Installed the first layer of trellis netting today

Opening 4th week blooming!! Since I levelled the EC, they are going so smoothly. Live and learning! Once they ate like a monster last time, I decided to increase 10% of the schedule, due last watering it was around 2.7. So I'll work with EC between 3.5 and 4.0 a they are consuming around 2.5-3.0 by 3 days. Removed some specific leafs covering other buds. Even didn't consider as a defoliation. Day 50 - 23/05/2025 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~28°C ⏫💧~55% ⏫📏 45cm distância Mango Cream Watered with 3,5L RO water with 10+10ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 3.0 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.5 Strawberry Cola 1 Watered with 3,3L RO water with 10+10ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 3.2 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 4.6 Strawberry Cola 2 Watered with 3L RO water with 8+8ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 3.0 PH 6.0 EC Rum Off 3.7 Day 52 - 25/05/2025 Checking their trichomes, they started to become amber. So I'm supposing that we have more 2~3 weeks ahead. Their bulking phase are going so well and I'm starting to be anxious to harvest them. Day 53 - 26/05/2025 They are bulking very well and the interesting is both Strawberry Colas have different terpenes smelling out. The 1st has more gas terpenes and the 2nd has more citric terpenes. The Mango Cream, as base for Strawberry Cola, also have fruity and gas terpenes. The buds are pretty dense. Their structure are pretty tight and thick, with most of lower buds just fetching between the others, forming a unique bud for each stem. I'm pretty happy with their results. I'm expecting to harvest between 150 and 200g dry. Let's see in the next few weeks! 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~27°C 💧~55% 📏 45cm distância Mango Cream 3,5L RO water with 5+5ml Athena Bloom B+A + 11ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.1 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.4 Strawberry Cola 1 3,5L RO water with 5+5ml Athena Bloom B+A + 11ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.1 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.8 Strawberry Cola 2 3,5L RO water with 8+8ml Athena Bloom B+A + 8ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.3 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 3.5 This week is working in progress and should be updated asap they growth. Cheers!🍁🤞🏽

This week all 3 Pheno continue to stretch, which likely will continue through end next week (week 4 flower). Fed girls Recharge prior to defoliation at the end of week. Day and night tent temperatures were constantly between 78F and 65F degrees. Relative humidity a consistent 55%. Using an online calculator found VPD range from day 1.48 (kPa) to 0.95 (kPa) at night. About as closed to optimum as one can get given existing equipment/tools and recent substantial rain in the SoCal region. Due for watering tomorrow, so prior to, I will top dress with worm castings, compost, and Langbeinite 0-0-22. I believe this should carry the 3 through to harvest. Breeder flower time listed is between 56 and 70 days. We are at day 20 flower as of today.

Fantastic thc production and buds nicely developed, swapped out the shogun boost for the bud xl which I like to do for the last week before flush. Dropped EC down to 1.1-1.2 as they are in the final stages of flowering. Only issue is I regret getting rid of one of the phenos so may try and take a clone from a small flower to save it.

Hope you guys had an alright week, the rain and floodings here in Europe has wreaked havoc on my outdoor garden, however this diary isn't about my Chamelauciums, its about that sticky green stuff. and boy this lady has started her stretch! I think I might have made the right call flipping her when I did because I can tell she's going to stretch big. Made adjustments to a couple of things this week; my bucket needed more oxygen, so I got a bigger pump and I have fixed my temperature issue by Literally just aiming an air-conditioner at the back of my tent, where my air pump is and as a result, now my water remains a chill 18 degrees! I also need to start keeping my tent closed, even though I absolutely love watching my plants during the day, some critters have made their way inside, eating at the leaves, for now in veg I don't really mind all that much, but I don't want any creepy crawlies when flowers start forming, those are mine and mine alone, not sharing those with any grasshoppers! I recommend keeping a go pro or something in your tent, its quite fun to observe grow, like how the leaves droop 20 minutes before lights out, and start praying upwards before light comes on, these plants really do get into a sleep like rhythm. doing a diary in general just adds a whole lot to the hobby, whether you do a private catalogue, or public, try it! Thanks for stopping by, I suspect we'll see the first signs of flowering next week, I've never grown this Strain, but I can see a few pre flower pistils forming as I'm typing this. Enjoy your week, as always stay safe and keep growing.

The last one started to bloom now. I started LST with my topped flower and startet to change my nutrients from grow to bloom. The weather was realy bad here. I think they had 3 days outdoor, the other days where just to cold. The smallest one looks realy bad. I think about getting it out and making space for a new one.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21. Started to germinate the seed. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-23.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be spread evenly on top of the soil Day 1 we had a high temperature of 80°F. The skies were partly cloudy with a healthy breeze. I water 2-2.5 gallons today. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 79 and partly cloudy skies. This cooler weather has been nice. I watered 2-3 gallons each pot once. Day 3 we had high temperature of 92°F. I watered 3-4 gallons from the hose. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 85°F. Skies were cloudy to overcast with off and on rain until noon. Then partly cloudy in the afternoon. I added 50ml of blood meal and 50ml of iron spread evenly across the tops of the pots. No watering today. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 86°F, a short rain shower, with cloudy to partly cloudy skies. Watering done today by the rain. Day 6 we had high temperature of 81°F skies were cloudy to partly cloudy. We had some intermittent heavy rain so everyone was watered by nature today. Day 7 we had high temperature of 85° F, with sunny skies. I watered 3-5 gallons each plant from the water hose. This week was a success. These girls have really added some height. I need to do more work shaping these. They began to run low on nutes. The built of phosphorus from the recycled soil is beginning to play out finally. I added 45ml coop poop and 50ml plant tone spread evenly across the top of the soil. We had our first signs of flower today. I love these fast flowers

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/11/2019 - Struggling with high humidity, change led strip color from red,green,blue to red and green. 1/12/2019 - Checked and adjusted the light distance. 2/12/2019 - Pot feels light and dry, gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 with a 1/4 of recommended Biobizz nuts, notice almost no run off. 3/12/2019 - Finally her first pistil appeared on the main stem I was starting to get worried.

pictures are taken last day of the 7th week since getting the seed if i didn't use lst, it would be 27+30 cm high (measured the horizontal main stem) i added molasses this time, for taste, instead of other booster besides the pk solution also i threw in some chicken fertilizer pellets in to add some organic power to the soil i like the taste of mineral, but my heart is with bio, so i use both somehow the flower is looking like it's wanting to finsh already. very nice experiment, instead of 18-20 or 24 hours of light for autoflower, i dd 12/12 from seed, guessing that the 7 proposed flowering time would be for the 18 minimum hours of light. I think it will be ready within that time, let's wait for that moment, whatever comes out is nice, her bud is starting to make me stare already...
