(12/23-12/29, days 56 to 62) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 6 Notes & Observations: No new issues to note, no mites found after the first and I have used Spinosad twice now just in case. P2 is getting stressed over ties and no ring, so I decided they will both go on a ring after i broke another branch without realizing it. Found it the next day and then topped the other side to gain two colas there - still 8 set but with varied start time's and points. Still looking to flip around new year’s day. Day 58 (last feed was day 55) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, this time P1 weighed 12lbs 1oz. (12lbs 10oz before last feed) and P2 weighed 11lbs 8oz before feed (11lbs 8oz before last feed). Each plant got 1.5 gallons of purified water with a mix of Veg/Bloom Mix concentrates - 300ppm Veg Mix (recipe on week 2) and 190ppm Bloom Mix (recipe on week 5) with 1.5ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) . The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.75ph (6.25 last time). After feed this time, P1 weighed 21lbs 5oz and P2 also weighed 21lbs 11oz (both weighed 20lbs 9oz after last feed). I got ~8 cups of runoff on P1 and 10 cups on P2 this time (8 cups of runoff on P1 and 8 cups on P2 after last feed). Runoff for P1 ph was 6.42 with 970ppm (6.36 with 1110ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.41 with 980ppm ( 6.35 with 1170ppm last feed). no top soil tests this time as ph is mostly showing no issues - next feed will be 1.5 gallons of de-chlorinated water and 6.5 to 6.75ph again - I dont see any issues from feed or training.

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui con me e la Mimorange🍊😉 Ormai ci siamo quasi! Manca giusto poco più di una settimana. I fiori stanno rallentato la crescita e i colori si stanno diventando più scuri con tonalità violacee.👍 Eh niente ragazzi! Ho pochi dettagli per voi perché sono andato in ferie e ho delegato la fine al mio socio. Spero continui tutto tranquillo.🤞 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti. 🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱🌱

It's that time again – the Week 4 report for our Power Buds competition, and let me tell you, it's been an exciting week of growth and cultivation! Our verdant companion, Jelousy, has been flourishing like a botanical superstar. Now, let's dive into a decision I made this week – the transplantation. While some may opt for the instant gratification of planting directly into their final pots, I've chosen the path less traveled. Jelousy has been gently ushered into a larger pot, not yet her final abode. Why, you ask? Well, let's talk roots! Transplanting into a larger but not final pot is like giving our plant a roomier apartment without handing her the keys to the mansion just yet. It encourages the development of a robust root system, allowing Jelousy to establish a solid foundation for future growth. It's the horticultural equivalent of laying down the groundwork for a skyscraper. And speaking of roots, let's chat about the magic touch we've added during the transplant – the Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This isn't just any mix; it's a microbial powerhouse that works wonders beneath the soil surface. Picture it as the unseen orchestra in the symphony of plant growth. The mycorrhizal fungi in Aptus Holland Mycor Mix form a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots. They extend the root system, enhancing nutrient and water absorption, while the plant provides the fungi with sugars. It's a harmonious dance of give-and-take, resulting in a healthier and more resilient plant. Applying this mix during transplanting is like giving Jelousy a team of loyal assistants, working tirelessly to ensure she receives the nutrients she needs to thrive. It's nature's collaboration at its finest. Now, let's talk visuals! I've prepared a mini video report showcasing the awe-inspiring beauty of Jelousy. Her leaves are lush, her stems are sturdy, and those roots—oh, those roots—are reaching for greatness. Check out the video link to witness the botanical magic in action. As we soak in the visual feast, let's extend our heartfelt gratitude to Zamnesia and Plagron for making this journey possible. Their support is the compass guiding us through the green wilderness. And, of course, a round of applause for the incredible Grow Diaries community. Your shared passion and knowledge create an atmosphere of growth and learning. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your plants continue to thrive, and your dreams of a flourishing harvest come to fruition. Here's to a week of roots reaching deep, leaves stretching high, and the joy of watching our botanical companions flourish. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only. Genetics - Jelousy @Zamnesia Nutrients @Plagron Light - @viparspectra P2000 Room size - 3x3 - 0,9x0,9

All doing well. Ultimate #1 is doing far better in growth under the Mars Hydro vs Ultimate #3 under just the Phlizon. This is what I expected I just didn’t really expect it would be such a large difference. The branches under the Mars Hydo are not only bigger and stronger but there are more of them!! Unless something massive changes the Phlizon will be just a seedling light from now on. Added a CO2 bag as well.

I started germination of 2 Jack F1 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 new home. Cant wait! Just some background information on my last run with the Jack f1. It was relatively strong during veg. But was middle of the pack in size after the 6 weeks of vegetative growth. After the flower stretch she became the largest quick! With a enormous stretch rate of 300%... Yes she tripled in size. Forcing me too super crop her which she didnt like at all. Setting her back and definitely hurting her all around yeild. Despite the staggering, unexpected stretch amount. Leading to the stress inducing supercropping. She still pulled off immaculate bud structre, density, and trichome production. She just took much longer than she should have... and didnt pack on the whopper size buds I'd expect out of these genetics. Definitely learned alot out of my first go. So I'm amped for the second run with this variety. This time around I'm going to anticipate the stretch and cut veg time shorter. To roughly 4 weeks or 1 ft in height. Also utilize a bit of very light lst to their side branching to open them up a little bit. Without stressing them out... well hopefully.

Hello friends. I've not done anything really to her this week. She asked for nothing really.. maybe the odd bedtime story but otherwise she is just resting and recovering from last week's toppings. She has pushed new growth that has supposed me. I need to cut off the next set of nodes but I think I may wait a few days and do the final topping all in one hit. I can't get her into flowering room for another 6-8 weeks so I have some good time to shape her into a sixteen cola mega beast..(I hope). If I do the copy chop cho later this week ishall update some pics of the torture.. ...update..... Did the final topping for 16. She has some interesting variations in growth rates at each node.. I think all the twisting has an effect on how the next node grows. I think I see a way by twisting the branch through a full rotation between nodes you can affect how the next branch set grows... It's just an observation ATM but I will maybe experiment with another plant to test this. She seems okay after the torture. I will leave her to grow out for a few weeks now I guess🤔 Thanks for looking. Stay safe😷😷 Keep growing and stay happy.🌱🌿😜🤪👍

Being my first ever grow I did not know what to expect. This plant was a great choice. It was easy to grow. It handles mistakes with grace. I had a lot of fun learning and can’t wait for the next grow! Thanks everyone for stopping by and reading this diary.

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Everything is working out well this week, not a whole lot to report about. plants growing well and not many issues I have seen, I think this is my favourite plant in the tent atm. this might change later on. Still giving them a 2:1 or 2.5:1 grow vs bloom nutrient. Its helping with some of the pink stems from last week. Feeding strength is up .2 point to reach 900ppm or aorund 1.8EC will leave it here fro the remainder of Veg. Prob will do for 2 more weeks then flip to flower as I just topped them and want to give them some time to recover. NPK ratio of 7-7-14 1:1 equal parts grow/bloom. Grow=8-4-15 Bloom=6-10-14 Boost=1-15-30 "not yet used it yet" Also took some clones from the plants as well, took two main cuttings from each plant, forgot to do the one so its not shown in the first video up the updated clone pics later in the week. If any of these impress me then the clones will go outside and grow there all year for a extra special harvest. Or I'll give them out to some friends and family maybe a little gorilla gardening project, but I will wait before getting ride of them all as I'm still kicking my self in the ass over the Blue Cindy loss. really liked that plant and wish its clones I gave out where still aorund. Lights doing well. The V1 spectrum is good on the medic grow mini sun-2's 240w. No issues so far, dimmed at 80% till flower is initiated then up to 100%, Will test out 13/11 I think as the schedule to give them some more photons for an extra hour vs 12/12 . Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ + https://www.emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled + https://www.facebook.com/OriginalETS/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow + https://twitter.com/emeraldseeds Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ + https://www.instagram.com/emeraldtriangleseeds/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow + https://growdiaries.com/grower/emeraldtriangleseeds https://growdiaries.com/seedbank/emerald-triangle-seeds

Haven’t updated recently due to work/getting my forklift license, long story short I passed and now onto the plants. The gelato are looking very well so far, switched the lights to 12/12 half way through week 4 so should be another week of stretch and then we will have the flower production (my favourite part) I’ve seen some weird marks on some leaves, not sure what they are or if their a problem but they don’t seem to be spreading etc so idk what it is but they seem healthy imo.

Day 77. Maybe a bit early, but no space and one Smoothie went for a date with bud rot ;))) didn't want to loose that nice top. Very frosty, nice gassy smell surrounded by fruits. Day 82. Second girl is down. Both small as you see, but with few branches will produce seed packaging cover type plant. Maybe second got some purple fade ... First was very nice by structure. Day 85. First went to jar. How lovely it sparkles and smells !!! Solid strain, even being so small by structure. Day 89. Second is in jars too ! Happy Growing !!!

They were very similar looking plants in early growth, but one of them stretched about 10 inches more than the other. It only weighed a few more grams despite the extra height. They require no special attention at all and produced fairly well, though I'd have liked a bigger yield. The buds are dense and smell amazing. Plant A: 87g Plant B: 94g Final thoughts: Potency: 8/10 Yield: 7/10 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 8/10 Bag-appeal: 8/10 Bud density: 8/10 Special thanks to Spliff Seeds for sponsoring this grow! These are some truly impressive genetics. Fat, frosty delicious buds that keep you high for hours! What more could you ask for!👈😁👍

Crazy week with work and the girls. Day 37 and flowers are foaming nicely. Did give her a haircut and the leafs I removed were nice and green and healthy. After a few years of using Canna I can say its has grown on me as one of my favorite nutrient companies. Did have a mess this week with the pump kicking on by accident and pumping the girls with 3 gallons of nutrient water. No worries as the girls recover fast. When I grow autos or photo periods I give Cannas PK 13/14 from about 35-55. Then no more after that. The results at the end speak for themselves.

First week of flower lots of notes to come stay tuned !!! So first week of flower notes will have to make up for my lack of content . I was on the covid train so I was pretty sick this week ( no excuse but it is what it is ) Minimal stretching so far this week she did very well with plucking and taking a majority of leaves off with great ease !!! Big fan leaves strong structure it's gonna make for so massive spudz down the road !! They are now in the Autopot system so I'm excited to see how that works out !!!!

great, everything is going really smoothly, @Zamnesia Runtz auto, copes perfectly with leaf spot and LST, started to bloom, so I think it will soon stop growing upwards, and I won't have to hurt it anymore :) @Plagron This is the first time I've used nutritional fertilizers, but I already understand that it definitely won't be the last :) good luck to everyone :).

I am extremely satisfied with the biotabs fertilizer, something incredible. and no PH water adjustment 🖕🏼 one shows a slight lack of magnesium. I will not deal with it at this stage, but next time I will put the lights higher.🤘🏻 -and the buds are incredible for 4w blooms BIOTABS: …….. is still the best organic fertilizer I've tried. incredibly good and simple and I only applied it 2x🤘🏻 in 1w and 4w🌹
