3rd week in and just transplanted my 6 girls! All spitting white pistols! Can’t wait to see what these girls turn out like! They are pumping along and am very happy with growth rate and health!using fabric pots as I like the soil to be able to get air! Using 1 litre of perlite to 25 litre premium potting soil! The potting soil itself is very coarse aswell to allow for good drainage! I fertilised the last 2 weeks and willl continue! Another 3 weeks under the fc 6500 by mars hydro then flip to flower! Will keep posted! My first grow using the newest LEDs instead of the old hps. Happy as people thanku

-29.08.2024 New week begins, in total it is the 11th week if you count the germination week. I think it will also be the last week, depending on how they continue to develop. most of the flower stalks are turning amber. the small trichomes do not yet look milky to me under a jeweler's loupe. the soil was dry, both plants were watered with 1L of water (without fertilizer) per plant -01.09.2024 Everything looks good. A few of the trichomes are slowly starting to turn amber, but most are still transparent to slightly milky. The plants are now watered every 2-3 days as soon as the soil is dry.

Week seven of flower, temp is coming down and is good. Buds really just started to fatten up. They are getting really frosty too. Getting faded leaves and some burnt and or dead ones too. One looks like it will finish in a couple of weeks, the others look like they might need more time. Cheers!

Thank you all for growing the fish with me!! 💙 💙 💙 I loved how much fun everybody had!!! I'm already looking out for the next sweet tiny pot, and recommend you to do so as well, if you have enough time. 😎 It's rewarding, you can learn a lot, and shoot nice pics with nice stories. 🐟 💨 It was maybe lucky coincidence that there were so many holes, so that the roots culd air-prune themselves all the time. 🙏 I watered three times a day, and the sweet smell was my companion. ❤️ It was a bit tough to chop my fish in the end. Sniff. But well, thanks for the great time!! 😘

Nearing the finish line! OMG these ladies are blowing me away 😳 the Tricomes are carpeted, the buds are fat and dense. I’ve been. Tapering off all the nutrients and feeding ph’d water until I get 10-15% runoff from the pot to help break up the pockets left behind and to use up what’s left in the plant. Have some very distinct phenos, all of them are stellar but there are a few standouts… won’t be much longer 🇨🇦👊❤️

Note: Moisture and Temp readings are done in the mornings. Lights are on an automated 12/12 schedule unless stated otherwise. Quick Summary: This week I fed the plants only 1 time. Since all plants are drinking slower, all were watered less, and less frequently. AK1's issues seemed to slow (not stop) this week. Most of AK2's leaves are gone, the damaged leaves haven't gotten worse and the remaining green leaves haven't been damaged as much. Since I'm seeing green on AK2, and nothing smells or looks too weird I'm going to continue growing. North is still growing strong, started the weirdest and is pulling through strong. What's weird is I think all plants including North is being affected by the same thing, but AK2 is suffering the most. Harvest tracking: - North may have about 1-2 weeks to go, most trichomes are looking cloudy and some are clear. I'm waiting until I see virtually no clear ones and slightly amber ones. - AK1 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured), most likely less yield too since it's sick midway into flower - AK2 may have 3-4 weeks (assumption based on how North matured) Day 92 - Manually Watering. 💧: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 1 liter, 1/2 Distilled, 1/2 Tap (6.45 pH, 0.5 ml FloraMicro, 0.5 ml FloraGro, 0.75 ml FloraBloom) ~430 PPM ~830 EC AK2: 0.7 liter Distilled Water (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2) North: 1 liter, 2/3 Distilled, 1/3 Tap (6.10 pH, 0.75 ml FloraMicro, 1 ml FloraGro, 2.25 ml FloraBloom) 💦: 41% (39-61) - 🌡️: 25C (22-29) Day 93 - Away for a few days, setting up auto water with pH'd Tap Manually Watering. 💧: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 0.75 liter (6.45 pH) AK2: 0.75 liter (6.25 pH, 2 ml H2O2) North: 0.75 liter (6.45 pH) 💦: 41% (39-61) - 🌡️: 25C (22-29) Day 94 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered. 💦: C% - 🌡️: xC Day 95 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered. 💦: C% - 🌡️: xC Day 96 - Auto Water, running at 0.75 liters per 11 hours. AK2 was not watered. 💦: C% - 🌡️: xC Day 97 - AK2 is basically down to its buds, the lower section is the only place with some greenery left. I guess I'll be taking it into a leafless harvest. Surprisingly the soil is only slightly dry after 3 days of no watering. AK1 has a lot of fan leaves, especially in the upper section starting to turn completely yellow. It seems like only fan leaves are affected. Manually Watering. 💧: Tap: X pH Adjusted with pH Down. AK1: 0.7 liter (6.45 pH, 0.75ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 2ml FloraBloom) AK2: 0.7 liter (6.25 pH) North: 0.7 liter (6.45 pH, 0.75ml FloraMicro, 1ml FloraGro, 2ml FloraBloom) 💦: X% - 🌡️: xC Day 98 - Tracking what little remaining leaves AK2 has for symptoms of improvement or issues. Cut some more yellowing fan leaves off AK1. North still chugging along just fine. 💦: 34% (34-56) - 🌡️: 28C (23-30)

May 5, 2024 Day 15 This week we will be focusing on getting the plants into their 3 gallon containers. That should be happening this afternoon when I'm up for it, or tomorrow. However, some roots are starting to show on the sides and the plants are starting to get a bit big for the Germination Center. There's still a this one small plant. It seems to just be a smaller plant. I don't know if I'm going to keep it. Just a waste of soil I think. Speaking of Sour Diesel, all four plants are really healthy. The three normal sized ones are all the same size. Same everything. I can't wait to see how they come out. Still nothing to do with individual plants. They are still too young. I increased the light power to 100%. They all seem to be loving the light, so why not treat them. Plus they will only be in that light for another few hours to a day. Still no idea what the DLI is. I don't have a PAR map to to refer to. So it's mostly guess work. So I'm guessing by the look of the plants, they don't mind at all. The environment is still spot on. The temp is hovering around 77° and the humidity is still at 84%. I'm assuming the night temp is around 75°, but the light is on and the heat mat is going. When I plant them, I'm going to have to work the heat and humidity in the 2x2. Happily, this size tent is a pain to keep dry, and I don't need dry, I need humid at least for the next 2 weeks. Then they should be going in the 3x3 with the better light and more space. Perfect. Update: it's mid afternoon and all 4 babies have been planted in their final 3 gallon containers. Watered in and easy to go. I'm using a 100 watt light for now while I wait for the other plants to finish. Still deciding if I want to keep the small one or not. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 78.3° RH: 85.6% VPD: unknown May 6, 2024 So I measured all 4 plants today. 3 of the 4 are 4" flat with the final one being at 3". I already have her in the final container, but if she doesn't catch up soon, I may put her in the 2x2 tent for a solo grow so she doesn't get cannibalized. I have to wait though. I have plants that are days from harvest, so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to get her in there. When that time comes, I'll separate her daily entries so everyone knows what's actually going on. I won't be basing the weekly stats on her though. She will be separate. I finally labelled each plant. A,B,C and D. You guessed it, D is the small one. I'll be doing daily entries for each once I start seeing more veg. Watering should be the same, lighting and environment will also be the same for A,B,C and different for D. So just a note for each plant daily. The light has been turned on in the 2x2 where these babies love for now. It's a 100 w Mars Hydro TS600. I don't really like using it, it's only 100 w. Which will be fine for the time being, but I prefer my better 3x3 240 watt AC Infinity light. DLI readings for this set up is just under 20 mol/m²/d. Should be good right there for the time spent in here. The environment is stable at 78% humidity and a temperature of 76°. I'll keep it that way for the rest of this week and see how things go next week. I'll most likely bring the humidity down to 60%. But I'd like to keep the temp up. I've read that Sour Diesel likes heat. Apparently it likes humid and dry climates. Which makes absolutely no sense to me, but whatever. I'll keep it at 60% in veg and then drop it 5% at a time until late flower and 40% will be the where it ends. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76° RH: 78% VPD: unknown May 7, 2024 I finally added a hydrometer that will read properly and works. All 4 ladies look great. I'm still concerned about the small one. I'm willing to bet, I'll end up placing it in the 2x2 for the solo grow I was talking about before. A,B,C all look the same. They are about 5" tall now and have 3 nodes. D on the other hand is just behind. Only 2 nodes and generally smaller. The light was a bit out of whack. It wasn't level and was pulling super hard to the back of the tent. I fixed that though. I think the DLI is around 20 mol/m²/d. It should be good for this stage. I'll definitely have to drop the light down t A bit when they get a little older. I'd like to see 25 mol/m²/d before going in the main tent. The environment is alright. The temp was a bit low this morning. The humidity was also at 61%. Definitely too low for these ladies. It should be up to 70% in a couple hours. The temp already bumped up to 78°. Now I just need to get a humidifier in there. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 65.6% VPD: 1.01 kPa May 8, 2024 Watering day! So for the first full watering I gave everyone a half gallon of water PHed to 6.0 from the top. I use a stick, so it takes a good bit of time to do it, but I don't need to wait for the soil to absorb. It does so gradually as the water is added gradually. There seems to be 2 different phenomes. A and D are one with B and C being the other. A and D have fatter leaves, but they are a bit droopy. Not in a stressed out way. Maybe they needed a bit of water. Not sure, but they look the same besides the height difference. Speaking of D, I have officially decided to keep her and finish her in a solo 2x2 grow. I just need to wait a few weeks while the other 4 plants are harvested and dried up. In the mean time, I'll keep her in the 3x3 when it gets moved there. Maybe I'll keep her there if she can keep up with the rest. I'm not sure. It's honestly too early to tell. A, B and C are still all the same height with A being a slightly different structure. I'll check back later to see how they take to the watering. I don't think a half gallon of water in a 3.4 gallon container will be any problem. It will moisten the whole container to probably about 45% saturation. When the bottom feeding starts in a few weeks, the saturation should go up to 55%. And it should hang out here until the last week or so of the grow. It may spike a bit because the plants doesn't need that much water anymore, but we will cross that bridge when we get there. The light seems to be perfectly fine for these ladies. In a few days, I'll pull a DLI reading and see where it needs to be. I still feel like these babies are still establishing themselves. Anyway, for another day. The environment was really good for a while. Now that I have them out of the Germination Center, I needed to figure out the humidity. The solution is a small humidifier. Works perfectly. We have a temp of 77° and the humidity is around 79%. Perfect for this stage. It could stand to be a bit warmer, but this is fine. Plus it should get a bit warmer today after the watering. Science and all that. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 71.5% VPD: 0.84 kPa Note: these numbers are daily averages including lights out. It gives a better idea of what both temps look like. For example. 74.5° is less than 77°, so the night temp much drop below 74° for a 6 hour average to drop the daily so much. But there's a lot to learn once you get the jist of it. May 9, 2024 Not a bad day. These ladies, even D, are looking great. Good leaf structure, fantastic color. Just all around some nice plants. They seem to really like the DLI. I'll be taking that reading tomorrow. The plants haven't grown enough to record it more than once a week. So lighting stays the same. The environment is fantastic. Right within range of not nearly perfect. The temp is around 76° and the Humidity is around 73%. It doesn't fluctuate much, but it still does. Naturally, I expect fluctuations, so I'm not worried about it. As I said, right within range. On the other hand, last night's temp dropped entirely way too low for this stage. I'll have to figure out a happy medium for my room heat and night time temps. Also, you can clearly see the drop in the leverage temp from yesterday. It's super low. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 77.5% VPD: 0.66 kPa May 10, 2024 Not much going on today. No watering needed. The light looks perfectly fine. Also, the plants are each started to grow at their own pace and size. While A,B and C are the same height, B is slightly ahead of the others. Strong stem and starting to grow side branches and another node. D looks like she may catch up after all. She's still not as big as the others, but the slight difference looks like it will either work itself out in veg, or I will just let her get bigger during the stretch with less training. I don't think I'm going to use a SCroG net this run. I plan on ordering silica to improve stem strength. I think a SCroG net works better in larger setups when you have multiple plants. My tent is just too small to work 4 plants in a SCroG setup. I can only access the front of the tent and the back and sides get neglected. So training and silica it is. As I said above, no watering needed today. However, I did reactivate the wick system for Tropicana Cookies today. She was drying out fairly quickly, so hopefully with the dryer container, it takes more time for the bottom to saturate. The lighting is staying the same. I'll check it at the beginning of next week. Although, with a tent this size and lack of space for the light, I'd just assume let the plants grow into it. Maybe I'll drop it to 24" when I see 4 nodes on all plants. The environment looks great! Cooler at night and nice and warm during lights on. The day temp is about 77° with a humidity of 66%. The night temp is 67° with a humidity of 78%. The humidity is a bit high, but I don't have an automated exhaust system like I do in the 3x3. I may turn the the exhaust on before I go to bed, but then the morning time will be dry before I wake up. Only for 2 hours, but still. The fluctuation is definitely not welcome. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 73.6% VPD: 0.78 kPa The VPD is a bit low. But that's due to the night time environment which I'll be adjusting tonight. May 11, 2024 Last day of the week for these 4. They have grown significantly over this week. Excellent leaf growth, beautiful green. All 4 plants look fantastic. Perfect structures. I can't ask for better. D is still a bit smaller, but is catching up. I don't expect her to stay small forever. I believe she will grow the same size at the end of the flowering stretch. B seems to be the largest, or most advanced, of the bunch. She is definitely ahead by a node, and a bit taller than the rest. However, her stem is a bit shorter than the rest. A and C both have longer stems, but lacking the robust growth of B. A and C are about the same. Nearly identical. These could be the same phenotype. With B and D being separate phenotypes. This coming week, I'll start reporting on the plants individually. It's a bit more work, but much more organized and easier to read. The light is definitely where it needs to be. I'll check DLI tomorrow. The environment is still near perfect. However, it was a bit low this morning. Apparently I didn't set the heat high enough. It's fixed now. The temp is around 77° and the humidity at 70%. No watering today. The pots are still fairly heavy. I think I'll water again tomorrow or test to see how moist the soil is. If I water tomorrow, I think it will only be a quarter gallon. Everything looks good and that's all there is to report today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 72.3% VPD: 0.79 kPa

All good, buds are packing on weight. Feeding will be 3 times this week, afterwards it should be enough nutrients in the soil till finish. Smell is getting stronger, i like the scent! It’s not skunky more fruity and minty. I removed the lower fanleaves. Maybe I will cut the Upper fanleaves at the end of the week. We will see. I will update over the week. Humidity over nights is constantly above 80% currently. I have no idea how to get the Lady in a more dry environment… so this is a real test concerning her mold resistance… And the hours of direct sunlight are going down towards 4h soon… it is a race against time… Wednesday: today it’s windy. Added a video. Friday: a lot of pollen from the trees around in my buds… maybe I will try to pick the shit out of my beautiful flowers… The buds getting bigger… maybe i will harvest end of next week to reduce the risk of mold….

Bad weather, little direct sunlight, steched a bit, took a while to recover from topping but looking nice. Began LST, took out some fan leaves to give space to lower branches. Began pre flowering also.

Started putting on all of its weight in last 2 weeks. Dense triangular shaped buds. At Least 1-2 more weeks I think. I did a final light defoliation to expose the buds that weren't getting much light. Try to fatten up what I can before chopping. Happy with how it's come so far.. one more week before I begin flushing.
