NOTES:
Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can.
The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil.
Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants.
After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting.
Day64 (19.12.)
Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average.
Day65 (20.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process.
Day66 (21.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer.
Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would.
Day67 (22.12.)
Day68 (23.12.)
Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before.
One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back.
Happy holidays everyone!
Day69 (24.12.)
Day70 (25.12.)
I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Had a bad week 4 as my PH pen decided to go wonky. Once I got it all straitened out plants took a few days to bounce back and took some lower leaf damage but nothing to bad and it will mostly be trimmed off soon anyway. Still waiting to start LST on 3 of these girls until they get a few days of normalcy after the ph shock. Will probably be end of week five we tie the other 3 down and get the screens in place to prep for Scrog.

(Days 15-21)
(Day 21) Everything is looking really good this week. I got my MH hooked up and dimmed to 250w. Plants are responding very well. Not a single sign of yellowing and plants are all a nice healthy green. I covered up the transparent solo cups with some newspaper as the roots are starting to pool around the bottom of the cups. Iâm going to transplant everything into 2gal pots with my inoculated 50/50 coco blend sometime next week. There is a nice layer of mycorrhizal fungi starting to coat the surface now.
Blackberry breath #1 is still looking oddly deformed still but I am concluding itâs genetic.
Going to be trying this âBoogie Brewâ tea stuff in the next few days as well.
Iâm pretty sure the leaf discoloring I saw that one day was from using unstable RO water. I am making sure to stabilize all water with rain/snow/brita before watering. It seems to have cleared up in a just a few days of proper water.
I didnât get around to getting a c02 canister this week but I will grab it at the same time I get those 2gal nursery pots.
Iâm shocked at how well the air pump is helping the bbb#2. It is always the perkiest plant in the tent and despite being a runt, itâs already outpacing most of the others in terms of new growth. I guess air is an often overlooked factor when growing. Hopefully the coco blend will help get things a little more aerated when I transplant.
Been thinking Iâm going to just veg until they all show sex and then flip them.
(Day 17) I gave my first pest/mold prevention spray today. I then raised the light all the way up to the top of the tent for a few hours. Plants responded well and no spots, burn ect.
Iâm also going to give my first top dressing today. Iâm using my new organic dry amendments scratched into the surface of the solo cups with some added promix as a layer of mulch. I donât want to see any yellowing at all in veg this run. I fucked up hard last time so Iâm going to make sure it doesnât happen again.

First time to ever do this method.
My lessons learned here were:
(1) Remove the wine bottle label! The heat from the water is minimized if paper label remains.
(2) Dry your hash properly if you want a temple ball at the end. Small fine grains if needed... to ensure the last of the moisture escapes. And it smokes and melts away.
(3) Hashmasters of GrowDiaries are telling me that BubbHash can't be bricked or temple balled in general. Hmmm... So it isn't my error then .. it's the hash! đ€Łđ€Ł
Iâll keep on trying the Frenchie method until I get it. đ
Wish me luck!

Suivre les conseils semaine 1.
Une fois que les plantes ont colonisées le pot de 1L, les rempoter dans des pots de 3L (qu'on va arroser avec 3L). Cela doit prendre 4 à 7 jours en moyenne.
Surveiller l'aspect des plantes, les pointes des feuilles. Observer le haut et le bas. La couleur de la plante doit ĂȘtre uniforme entre chaque partie sinon c'est qu'elle a un manque ou un excĂšs. Le plus souvent Ă©tant donnĂ© les engrais complet que nous utilisons il s'agit d'un excĂšs. Dans ce cas il suffira simplement de faire un arrosage Ă l'eau au lieu de l'engrais et de reprendre les engrais Ă plus faible dose.
Les tiges sont un bonne indicateur de la santĂ© des plantes, hors gĂ©nĂ©tique spĂ©cifique, elles doivent ĂȘtre verte et tendre, pas dur.
On continue la FIM et la taille de certaines feuilles qui peuvent ĂȘtre gĂȘnante.

I do not usually top but weâre going to give it a go. Rainbow melon had an issue with hurm on my first Grow so this is round two for her. She is doing amazing just like her sister Was at this time so fingers crossed seems like the third week of flower is when I started noticing the hurm FastBuds4204LiFeđŻđ„

The 34 street seed Cookies had Lotâs of LST and training this week! The girls did very well overall after being topped, and have recovered very nicely. I also finished up my drying my last harvest, so after a cleanup session, my big tent was ready to go again!
This week was pretty easy, just watching the girls and adjusting the ties to keep the side branching going. I like to come in regularly and bend and twist the shoots between my fingers encouraging healthier stems.
While Iâm in there Iâll adjust the wire ties a bit to keep things even. After 2-3 days with the tie downs on, Iâll take them off and let the plant recover.
With the environment dialled in at 79 degrees and 63% RH, itâs giving me a VPD of 1.0-1.1 , great for optimal growth. đȘ
I think I am going to split the girls up, 4 (2 of eachin the one tent, 2 in my small tent, both with a Scrog in place.
Iâll be transplanting this weekend, It wonât be long before these girls are ready for flower, October is a busy month for me so I may wait until the beginning of November to switch to flower light timing. Happy Gardening đšđŠâ€ïžđ±đđš

This entire week was just rain, rain, rain. I kept the plants under the lamp. I'm really not prepared for indoor growing. But, light is light and it will work for a short time, apparently.

this diary is a week ahead. will get in back in line soon. day 0-7 to be as week 1 not including the germ week.
This banner kept much shorter than its brother. its also in a slightly shallower tub of soil so this one is flowering a bit quicker than its counterpart too. to keep it at the same height as all my others ive raised it from the floor slightly and then put the screen over top to bend the top cola. buds forming nicely now. i said fuck it. full organic feed for you.! nutes then fresh water twice then nutes again. deinking now a litre every 3 days. hardy plant but a couple white spots on the leaves... slight calmag to give prob.. end of week 5 flowering up to day 35. week 6 as of 36-->
ps if anyone has a spare grow tent that they could donate me that would help a brother out ;)
day 40. adjusted to normal schedule

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior.
El dĂa 15 de Agosto recibiĂł la segunda pulverizaciĂłn de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas.
Sigo alternando riego de agua un dĂa con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al dĂa siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

What I can i say other than Ethos Genetics kicks ass. I love growing their gear and will continue for as long as I can. This girl here took very well to training and feeding increases. Her terpene profile early on was undeniably Strawberry but gradually took a citrus dominant turn with some notes of pine. She was a moderate strechter and produced nice full trichomes that I'm sure would give a great return if pressed. The buds themselves are extremely sticky,pungent and dense. I used CX Horticulture and did what most dont do and used the recommended feeding chart đČđđ. I am glad to say she took it like a champ and for future grows of this strain I know I can up my ppm/EC next time. I yielded 6.25 ounces off of a 10 gallon pot and I know that's not impressive but it's my first time growing in a pot that big so many things learned. I will say after looking at the rootball I could have vegged for several more weeks but again knowledge is power and I've gained some đ

Bueno familia ya finalizamos, estas red hot cookies son una cepa bestial.
La verdad que el secado muy bien 7 dĂas en Malla y a los botes, 45% humedad y 23 grados es la temperatura ambiental que han tenido en el secado.
4 plantas que se cultivaron en un armario de 1.20 pero estos ejemplares solo ocuparon 80x80.
AsĂ que ya estĂĄ cultivada esta gran variedad que es novedad este 2020, americana de la familia Cookies, la Tropicanna Cookies (Girl Scout Cookies x Tangie) con un porcentaje de thc entre los 17/25%, una bomba.
Que decir de Agrobeta, lo peta đȘ en cuanto a nutrientes. Un saludo y buenos humos.

She's moving along well still , looking pretty normal on the other limbs besides the upper main cola lol that things a mess.
Still no computer todo my photos on or background but this app had been helping out. Stupid watermark can kick rocks lol.. but it's free.
She's gotten some of the Tea co super tea blend, but just one feed didn't add to main list of stuff. Besides that she's began to get Green Sensation aswell to see how she can fill out ..
Not really much done other then watching, she's shorter then her sisters so ppfd is on the lower end roughly 600/650 but that'd change once they move or I can lift her up if needed. She's kosher so far tho.
Thanks again for checking this thing out, appreciate everyone's time !!!

Upgrade light to 900w purple
This week I feed her with light nutrients and High dose bloombastic 1.5 ml per litre
This strain love nutrients while my other plant keep piss me off till now I never flush her always with max dose nutrients and never any problems
Today day 67 I measured run off and was 1800ppm and I never have any problems she loves nutrients but now I give her just water with 1ml bloombastic till finiah to bring down ppm also I cut most fan leaves to keep bud dense and heavy (recommend by friend )
So let see I think she is ready in 7 to 10 days not long left
Day 68 I flush her with 15L water to bring down ppm to 1000 and after that just feed her 1.5 ml bloombastic till finish
