Week 13 20 December 2023 Once upon a time in a small town, a group of friends decided to embark on an unusual Christmas adventure. Instead of the traditional festivities, they hatched a plan to grow a special kind of Christmas tree—cannabis. They called themselves the "Green Elves" and secretly transformed an abandoned greenhouse into their winter wonderland. As the weeks passed, they nurtured their unconventional crop with care, each day bringing new challenges and unexpected joys. With Christmas approaching, the friends faced the dilemma of revealing their secret to the town or keeping it hidden. In the spirit of the season, they chose honesty, deciding to share their unique Christmas tale. To their surprise, the townspeople responded with unexpected warmth and understanding. Rather than judgment, they found support and curiosity. The community embraced the unconventional holiday spirit, turning the greenhouse into a festive gathering place. The Green Elves learned a valuable lesson about acceptance, and their cannabis Christmas tree became a symbol of breaking stereotypes and celebrating diversity. That year, the town had a Christmas unlike any other, filled with laughter, unity, and a touch of unexpected green magic. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Heya👍🤙👍🌱 Thanks for reading!!!🤙👍🤙🌱

Transplanted on last day of the week as the other 1 liter pot just didn’t hold water long enough. Add slow release palates, crushed bone meal and a bit of mycorrhizae.

Been fertilizing with Peruvian gold and earth juice bloom. Got some Jimmy Jack corn steep powder and tried it out. Works very nicely 👍. Also starting to bend some cola branches and defoliate to allow more light to pass through the canopy to lower branches.

8 weeks later and these girls are getting smelly! They are also steadily packing on some weight and I'm getting excited! This week the girls look to be in mid flowering stage and they were starting to show some kind of deficiency (maybe should've top dressed last week) well I top dressed last night and whipped up a compost tea for them too so we'll see how they react this week. This Orange Sherbet girl finally got some defoliation and LST. The flowers are budding up and I could not risk a lack of air flow so she's all opened up and looking gooood. The next run I'll be doing them all like this I think. Getting very excited for a taste 😋 Hope you all had a good week and thanks for checking in ✌️

First off, I hope all who visit this journal watch the timelapse. I'm very happy with how it turned out. The GSC is in the foreground. Comparing the beginning to the end shows just how dramatically my plant has grown in the past week. This plant now has a photo-period neighbor! I have changed the light schedule back to 18-6 to accommodate. Her chronicles will be in a separate journal. Towards the end of week two, I noticed the leaves were forming brown spots that I took as a sign of calcium deficiency. To treat this, I used a gallon of (hard) tap water, adding calcium to the reservoir. Luckily this seems to have done the trick! The spots have been absent on all subsequent leaf growth. Sometime in the middle of this week, I had to re balance the pH from ~7 to ~6. Perhaps this pH fluctuation came from the tap water transfusion. In an effort to raise the RH in the tent, I've repetitively spilled a small amount of water on the floor of the tent. Doing this keeps the RH around 45-50%. I've made some other small changes to my grow setup as shown in the pictures. Prior to this week, I'd thought my plant was hopelessly behind developmentally compared to other user's because I'd compare their week two plants to mine. Luckily, this week has seen some growth! It's crazy how fast they shoot off after their first three-fingered leaves form. The first "real" set of leaves to grow in (not three-fingered yet), seemed to take forever to grow into their full size while not much else (besides the roots) seemed to grow. This week's three-pointed leaves have practically fully formed already. Alongside them, are the beginnings of yet more leaves! I'm not certain what I will do this next week. I may start LSTing this plant, though I'm not sure when exactly I should do this. My original plan for my plants was to implement a screen of green using a trellis. I have sense realized this may not be the best approach while using a DWC, because water changed would be made much more difficult. Have any of you DWC growers experiment with this? Is it worthwhile? I will likely not replace the water for another week, though that's not set in stone. I appreciate any advise regarding the training techniques I mentioned, water switch outs and anything else that may be relevant to this grow. I will more than likely ask a few designated questions. To those who take the time to answer, thank you!

I'm back! I'm sorry for taking such a long break. It wasn't planned! We had to buy weed off the street, just like old times! What a shame. We have moved and I finally have room for a new tent, this time for 3 plants! Plus matching lights. Unfortunately the exhaust is still missing, but nothing smells at the moment. So I'm waiting for the next pay cheque for that. I have Royal Queen Seeds to thank for sponsoring the seeds. I've been looking forward to trying this strain for a long time. This is my first grow using only Bio Tabs fertiliser. I've been wanting to try their range for a long time because I'm convinced it's best to use as little liquid fertiliser as possible - most of it is water and that means more weight, more transport costs and more packaging. The Just Add Water plan is also very attractive to me as I am very busy at the end of the year. So thank you for your generous sponsorship! I'm following the Just Add Water strategy as described here: https://biotabs.nl/download/biotabs-just-add-water-strategy-english.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorA_7mskRtAlhgdfQQsUMJiwA2NEsVeEF1yRQnMUk8wb0xdv2Z0 I really liked the fact that Mycotrex is a granulate and doesn't create as much dust as other organic stimulants. As a substrate I tried the T.A. light mix - you can see a little video of it in my pictures above. I wanted an organic light mix without the peat - I know peat is great to work with, but it's also really bad for the environment, so I'd encourage everyone to try peatless mixes! Everything is now moving into the next phase, and if the plan works, there will be no work for me after next week - apart from watering. I'm so excited!

Howdy growfessors 👽, chopped down two LSD, what a great strain! One of these two ladies performed way better than the other and I'm excited to see just how much more weight and bud she packed on. Thanks for stopping by growfessors 👽🌳💚 July 11 update, one LSD plant 92 grams, the second plant 95 grams, 187 total. Plants have a great fruity, berry taste and great heady high.

11/29/22: Just switched her to flower about 4 days ago and started with bloom nutes.. was struggling with ph again past few days trying to level out again seeing some signs of lockout so flushed her with water and lite cal-mag she is looking better today.. she's really starting to stretch out hoping my tent is going to be tall enough with light hanging but we will see.. this is actually a pretty tough plant to grow but I'm gonna get her..

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

This little candy is growing fast, hope I don't fuck it up with the irrigation system. Might have some more hot days ahead of us, hopefully I can maintain 27-28 when it gets too hot outside.
