(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.

Things are taking shape. VPD in check, girls are just praying and loving their home. A constant 78 with lights on and a small drop at night. Top feeding twice daily for 90 seconds per feed. This is enough time for the hempy hole to overflow. These girls were topped a few days ago and recovering nicely. A few weeks of veg and this room is going in to flower! And thats when the fun begins Follow my son Budxless on his first grow

Yay... NorCal Cannabis Cup today & tomorrow up in Santa Rosa. Gonna load my bud buddy in the car and head up there this afternoon for the Phil Lesh show. One day is enough. 😎 It's only the 2nd ever licensed cannabis consumption event in California ... so come be part of history if you live anywhere in northern California. ------ The Durban girls are doing quite nicely. Leaving them out in the sun for 30 minutes today to do a little acclimating before I head up north. It's HOT today by recent standards but the wind is light. Three of the 5 gallon girls will be moved outside permanently in about a week. The 3 gallon container and the (former) runt in a 5 gallon pot will grow inside this summer.... and we'll probably flip the lights to flowering as soon as everybody gets moved outdoors. ------ For heights this week we have the 5 gallon girls are two at 19", and one at 18.5". The 3 gallon girl is at 15", and the former runt is up to 9". Fed all the girls today because I won't be home early from the show tonight to feed them then. ------ Updated to add some photos from the Cannabis Cup in Santa Rosa. It was a LOT harder to consume alcohol at this event than ANY form of cannabis. Big fun.

So things are going good. I had an issue with my shower and was worried where the pipes would take them but it’s all good now. The leak was from below me it was just they had to turn off the stopcock to my shower. So it’s nice to have a shower again! Iv not done anything this week really other than poke my head in. Oh shit yeh I actually hoisted the fc-e3000 up and put it roughly where it would be in a 180cm tall tent but then I also added my TSL-3000, daisy chained them and dimmed to 60%. Ideally I would have the fc-e3000 the other way round so that I could put the bars either side of the TSL-3000. I was looking at the 2000’s editions of High Times me man it takes ,e back - all the ads are either full grow boxes that are ‘stealth’ or detox solutions for drug tests! Haha bad times….not much better here now tbf. I did find it interesting that it took the police a while to get used to it when the states (well, it was only cali at this point) legalised for medical use. The police here are in that phase here in the UK! Edit: annoyingly I snapped the very top of one of the cola’s off by accident, which is annoying as there weren’t many to begin with. Hopefully it’ll just mean the very tip of the bud just goes down a little to the next node. We’ll see I guess! Tbh, I’m more concerned about getting some sort of bud rot from the tropicanna being too dense. I wouldn’t ever veg plants for this long, with this many plants, in a tent this size again. Probably max of 3. Oh well, we’ll see what happens, I’ll probably cut off some more side nodes to create some air space Edit: to be honest, I’ll most likely take out the long light because it’s just blocking loads of the light from the FCE3000. I think I’ll slide the fce3000 down to the end with all the tall plants as the canopy is all the size height and then add the 150w ts-1000 for the low down diesel plant. Lights are on until 11:30 so I’ll try and do it today…

Strain was easy to grow. Had some herms but since I only have 2 plants I was able to pinch the balls off. Buds have no seeds and are a strong smoke. Really hits the lungs.

Buena producción dió Rainbows pese a que el clima es algo complicado en esta zona de España en la que vivo. Las lluvias llegan rápido en Octubre! Aún así tenemos unos veranos magníficos para cultivar en outdoor.. con un clima en las que las horas de Sol no faltan. La planta se portó fenomenal al ponerla en tierra, asimilando con facilidad toda la comida que le dimos. Sin signos de excesos y con ganas de comer más!!! Cogollos duros como piedras bailando al son de los chunguitos. Dale mariano que ya tenemos rainbows para rato.

A catastrophe happened, The 4 Eleven Roses died from what i expect, veing shadowed by the other bigger plants as i found the corpse of the plants very stretched, like they were searching light (i don't know how to mark this on this platform) . On the bright side there are 8 female examples, 4 g13 and 4 santa bilbo full of hell flowering. There is a bit of plague, but thats also a negligence i caused by reusing soil from the outdoors. Why i highlight this? because, as the plant are near mid flowering, the use of foliar sprays will not longer be a viable option and i must stick with the basics. Kind regards homies.!

Adding week 4, as I had it in "germination" in the diary a week too long. Brings it in line with it's size/maturity. Messed up my lighting for 48ish hours, left on 24hrs a day, due to flip flopping on going to flower.

23.08.24: I've done considerable defoliation. Also, FBP1 and FBP3 have grown all over the place. The stems are also relatively weaker as they've grown so much. (Photos above). Being as the plants were looking a bit delicate, I added some string and tied the side branches lightly to keep them a bit more compact. Additionally, FBP2 has a considerable amount of buds on the main cola. So I've added a plant stake, and I just tied string around the stake and the main stalk. The humidity has been able to stay under 53%. That's with 3 dehumidifiers. So I'm pretty sure that's about as good as it will probably be. I've had to lower the watering frequency on FBP3, as I overwatered only this plant. and also added too much Nitrogen in. As a result all the leaves are looking droopy. I'm really not sure how this will pan out, as they all still look like they're weeks away from harvest. Anyway, I'll update throughout the week. 25.8.24: I was tending to the garden a majority of the day, and realised that a branch had broken on FBP2. I acted quickly to insert plant stakes, to provide the heavily laden branches additional support. See photos above. The branch was bent or snapped, but still in one piece. I used duct tape to carefully put it back together. Before making a stake for it. Silica, apparently wasn't quite enough to get the FBP2 through the whole way. The flowers are very heavy and dense. I have also given the plants water yesterday with concentrations of the following nutrients, per plant. ● 9ltr of dechlorinated tap water with 6ml of cal-mag, 3ml of Ecothrive Flourish, 6ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. I have also added cinnamon top dress after watering, as I have noticed some fungus gnats. I checked the trichomes through one of my loupes yesterday too, and nearly all are still glass like in appearance, with some cloudy here and there. I'm definitely going to have some time left on these girls. I did check the PH if my soil on all plants as I was concerned about nutrient lock out on FBP3. All pots tested out at 7.0 Ph exactly, before and after watering. Thanks for reading my diary 😊

First attempt at attending the Eternity Grow Cup was a major fail. 2 seeds did not sprout. I planted two new seeds and they came to life. Lost a lot of time. I think my chances to get this run finished within the deadline is almost zero. Now it's a passion project and my training for next years collab between Zamnesia and Plagron.

3 weeks from germination, they look green and strong full of vitality, even with the heat it is doing ... I just started with Biovega at 1ml per liter (half dose), I have chosen the largest specimens, you can see the difference between varieties, with respect to size. The most branched is already seen to be the Sugar Candy and the Sugar Black rose, the distance between branches is incredible. Like all in their own way.😉

Just purchased a new Gorilla grow Tent, and completely redid my setup in my 4x8 veg area and my new 4x8 Flower area. First the Veg area. It consists of a 4x4 flood table, the other side contains 13 4gal buckets full of hydroton. Also 1 control bucket. This control bucket not only floods the flood buckets, but also floods the table. The plants start off from the moms, they are moved from the flood table into s flood bucket and vegged to produce at least 9 clones (hopefully more like 15) . They are then cloned and after 1-2 weeks they are moved into the 4gal buckets. They sit for ~1month growing bigger, all while waiting for there flowering spot to be opened up. While vegging they are topped and have 3-4 tops selected and focused by trimming any branches that start to reach for light. By the time they are moved they are about 16" inches high. All have 3 tops and are approximately the same height. They are moved into the flowering spot snd immediately are switched from veg nutes to bloom nutes. Over the next 3 weeks i will trim branches that reach away from the 3 main cola stems by more than 2". Also if one or 2 branches on the plant are having a bugger growth spurt, i pinch the tops. This allows the plant to focus growth hormones to the other tops.
