(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.

Super excited for this run. I'm always on the search for new quality genetics and fruity terps. This time I chose Elev8. I watched an interview with them and decided to try. They start all their genetics with high quality clone cuts. Pretty interesting and if you ask me that's how I'd do it if I was gonna to something like that. Water for 36 hours then in the solo cup. 80% filled with my mix and the top 20% is just coco/perlite. 5/6 popped up. We begin!

The streach continued and growth was good. Bent the taller branches down for a semi uniform canopy. Buds are building and all is well. With the warmer summer temperatures the room became a bit too hot and humidity was too high as well. Turned the A/C on and within a few hours the temp dropped down to 75 and humidity to 51%. Went away for the weekend so I will see what it is like when I get back. I dropped the veg nutrients and am feeding bloom and cal-max with molasses. Need to figure out and fine tune the whole temperature thing. This coming week I will do a full leave strip. Once that is done I will fine tune the canopy. Thanks for looking.

Into the second week of flower and have not seen much stretch in these girls yet. All are showing pistils, I am defoliating a lot to maintain an even canopy. Girls received their first compost tea and a good top dressing of malted barley. Pistils development is continuing strong. Looking forward to some more stretching They ended their week really good, flowering is slowly getting there. Still haven’t seen much stretch from these. #2 is noticeably shorter thus far, with #1 showing the most flower development

Creciendo bastante bien Talvez yo no sé cómo hacer el lst pero está aguantando bastante bien está nena En un semana creció bastante!!! Estoy contento Me está aguantando Ok Sábado No sé si el lst ayuda al crecimiento pero siento que va a avanzando mucho... No tengo ni idea de que estoy haciendo ni estaba preparado para hacer amarres Ni tengo idea de cómo lo voy a hacer... Pero realmente quería experimentar ya que veo que todos lo hacen aún que me da miedo romper la planta o estresar la y tampoco se que cortar!!! 😔

Somehow she didn't grow up much this week, just 1cm. But she put out a lot of leaves. Her colour is still too yellow for my liking, still monitoring it.

La planta sigue ramificando e inicia la pre floración, se prepara para dar el último estiron. Mientras tanto yo le cambié el fotoperiodo a 20/4 y le agregué un foco de sodio de 400w a los 200w de cfl que ya tenía en vegetación. Volví a ajustar el lst creo que por última vez antes de dejarlas ser hasta el final. Riego cada 4 días aproximadamente con 2L de agua estacionada con ph entre 6.2 y 6.4. Ayer le tocó agua pura y en cuanto me pida más le daré un poquito de extracto de algas de top crop. Big one y top auto en muy bajas dosis, pues la planta no ha mostrado signos de deficiencia alguna.. Hice un riego foliar con aceite de Neem, extracto de canela y jabón potásico a modo preventivo. Ha respondido bien a la nueva luz, la distancia entre el sodio y la copa es de 60cm, iré acortando más adelante 10cm más si la temperatura me lo permite, La sigo!

Short video of how she's doing. Preflowers are forming so time to top dress with worm castings and water in some banana F.P.J

This is my first coloured cannabis strain and this red critical Autoflower from BSF seeds is an amazing strian. The smell of the buds is so fruity. Cant wait to harvest this red plant.

On the grow itself, I just got twice as much yield with 1/3 fewer plants by switching to coco and CocoTek, I would count that a win. Zero stress so I was right, grow them without stress and you will be rewarded. Just the easiest best smelling little plant to grow. Always germs well and produces long as you treat her right. It loved the CocoTek and Soul Peak finisher FIVE STARS ON BOTH add them to the list GD! If anyone needs help growing in coco coir get this book! Coco for Cannabis - MJ Coco https://www.amazon.com/Coco-Cannabis-Growers-Dr-M-J-ebook/dp/B07G9LR4W2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LYSB5G978Y1I&keywords=coco+for+cannabis&qid=1579029394&sprefix=coco+for%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-1 1/20 Absolutely the best grow yet for potency, dont want to guess but it's at the strains upper limits I am thinking from the effect.

Day 85. Girls looked ok till i saw budrot !!! Sunset Sherbet went to bin. Was biggest from all ... on last visit i saw bird poop on her, maybe its aftermath of nute burn ... ;))))) Apples looks very long and stretchy by bud structure, in other words more bubble hash plant than for smoking. Purple is going nice and steady, just no purple colours ;)))))) Overall girls can go without care, but results will be small, they needed better light , forest overtook surroundings, needs good clean up, but its not my land ;))) Think 20-30 g each is around what i will get from rest. Happy Growing !!!

********** edited Dec 13 ********** Added one more pic. Seems like I will be growing one this round. Veg for a lil longer, spread out the canopy, two trellis’ and prolly finish in 15 gallon pots. Two derpy runts haven’t move much in 24hrs. Treated them all the same. Under one T5 LED for now. Ah well. See u next week :) ********** edited Dec 12 ********** One is a champ compared to the two other derpy looking ones, not much growth after the cotyledons. It is what it is. Grow one this round and train it til it covers the canopy…maybe try out that flux technique and finish in a 15 gallon pot. ********** EDITED DEC 9 ********** I will most likely be growing 2. One didn’t make it and I’ll be giving a seedling to a buddy. ********** Edited Dec 4 ********** Another tap root popped out….one more added to the crew. 3 out of 4 so far. **********EDITED Dec 3 ********** Couldn’t wait… Seed soaked 2 Mafia Candy overnight in some Zeus Juice (fulvic), paper towel for 48hrs and tap root finally popped but I’m impatient and thought they were duds so I soaked another two last night and waiting for them taproots now…looks like imma grow 4 this run (if they all make it). Two seeds with taproot: into peat pellets sprinkled with VAM (mycos), into soil and now I just sit back and pray. Maybe I’ll just let them grow. No topping, no training. Veg for a few weeks and flip. We’ll see how it goes. More updates coming soon. ************************************ Woohoo. Seeds finally arrived after like a month, usps is slow. My man RightHemisphere.Genetics hooked me up with some breeder seeds and his own creation Mafia Candy (fem). Soil has been cooking for 30+ days. OneShot, worm castings, biochar, oyster shell, bone meal blah blah blah. Just a few more times with this ‘style’ of growing and will switch to something easier and simpler cuz growing with Nectar is just too crazy. Gonna pop 2 Mafia Candy soon, just gotta figure out timing as I’ll be away for a week in Dec and might not be able to find a plant sitter…. Will be updating the diary with more pics when they pop. In the meantime, please enjoy the video :) Thanks for stopping by 🌱

DAY 14 F: Hi all. I hope we are all coping and navigating this tumultuous time in the "other world" . It has been a really good week for the ladies this week and even the little chica has improved slightly from her attempted poisoning by hands yet unknown ????. Lol They have all been really productive in their stretch periods and i had to move the fc3000 up a fair bit to stop them reaching the panel. I want to avoid any supercropping to use the plants natural structures on this final auto run. The tip spreading has been effective at stopping them over growing the height restriction and has now used the stretch period to space all the budsites into good positions for light and air movement. I want to also avoid having to remove any of the powerhouse fan leaves that are going to help convert and store all those sugars and goodies for the bud development soon. Inwill tet to keep them from light blocking lower leaves and growth by tucking them away where I can. They are around 2ft in height with the Strawberry Pie being the taller of the 3 strains. All have fairly long node gaps whichb had hoped to avoid so they would stack the buds rather than grow in small clusters but I know from previously growing them all that they make some very nice harvested and cured nugs. I am still only feeding water but will be doing another tea of biosys and a top dressing of life-cycle too this week to give the biosphere a hand and the girls a boost from that. The light is really doing them justice with plenty of deep penetration to the soil bed in places too. There are no signs of hot spots or too much intensity so far so an even spread of those light ranges has fed them perfectly. With the convenience of the soil beds , In the tent I have from Mars being the perfect size for this light , it could be a match made in heaven for the upcoming photoperiod run with the FC3000 too. Just need to find a way to hang the tent with my horrible apex roof first..... lol With Bud Porn on order for next weeks update , I bid you all farewell or as we say in the UK, "tatty bye for now" growmies. Be lucky
