So far so good with this watermelon zkittles from barneys 😁 no issues and responding well to the topping and lst, I am making 3 litres worth of food for the week and will up it as the plant needs it. I will post more pics and a video later of the room. The purple lemonade and runtz are doing well, they look lost in there big pots 🤣. Pics to come. The orange sherbert are on day 3 of there 2 week flush with molasses and phed water, hopefully there fill out, on the plus side there getting purple on them now 😀. Marshydro tsl2000 is doing a amazing job and is really nice and cool, my hps light use to cook the plants this led is perfect can achieve good temps even cold temps to pull the colour out at the end 😀. The ac infinity with digital controller is a must have and a real game changer for a grower, I love it my mate loves his and trust me it helps, easy to use and set it up outside your grow area, dangle the thermometer cable at canopy hight and your good to go. Day 29 day 2 flower, the watermelon zkittles is starting to start her stretch I think she is going to be a nice plant, iv had no issues in the last 4 weeks and never have with the barneys seed selection.

It has been another amazing week of the plants growing. I have been watching as the Fruity Freak leaves become progressively more fern-like, and ornamental as a result! Based on my Banizzle grows, I knew I needed to understand plant nutrients in a more meaningful way if I wanted these plants to thrive. So, I decided to get a soil test (see Ref. 1 below on how to perform a test) to understand what nutrients my plants needed. The report I received advised that I needed to add 200 lbs/acre of nitrogen, 150 lbs/acre of phosphorus, and 190 lbs/acre of potassium (see picture labeled Pic.1 (FYI you can't see these images unless you login to growdiaries)). I then researched what to do with my results (Ref. 2 helped), and I figured out that my nutrient needs of 200-150-190 fall close to a 2-1-2 ratio. I then looked at different types of organic fertilizers (see Ref. 3 and Ref. 4) and considered that I already had a 3-10-5 fertilizer (Vermibloom) on hand. I discovered Dr Earth’s Alfalfa Meal is 2-1-2 and includes beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae (to promote healthy plant growth and disease resistance). However, I knew I would be low on nitrogen if I only used those two fertilizers. Therefore, I decided to buy some blood meal (12-0-0). I also liked that blood meal is more fast acting while the other two are more moderate. I hunted around for a solid fertilizer calculator and found an amazing tool from the University of Georgia Extension (Ref. 5). I entered all three fertilizers into the calculator, and it kicked out the exact amount of each fertilizer I needed to apply to 1 square foot (see Pic. 2). As I am using 10-gallon fabric pots (that can hold 1.5 cubic feet, but I put stone on the bottom and there’s space left at the top) I decided to use the one square foot application rate as I can always add more later, but I can’t take it away. Not only did I want to understand the nutrients I needed, but I also wanted to understand the structure of the soil (as it was not included in my test results). North Dakota State University has a nice page that discusses this (Ref. 6), and I performed a soil ribbon test (see Video 1) based on this information. I determined my soil to be medium textured (which is great), but I have seen occasional water pooling on the surface, suggesting that it may be more of a medium-fine. This means adding peat moss, coco coir, or other amendments might improve drainage (and plant hydration) and allow for roots to grow more easily. In the long run, I plan to use compost to enhance the soil structure and nutrients. I filled the bottom of my 10-gallon fabric pots with a ½” of pea stone to allow for drainage (Pic. 3). I then partially filled two 5-gallon buckets with topsoil from near where I will plant (but not in an area the roots will reach). I used a digital scale to measure the amount of fertilizers recommended by the calculator (Pic. 4, 5, and 6) and added it to one of the 5-gallon buckets (see Pic. 7). I mixed the fertilizers into the soil as evenly as possible (Pic. 8 and 9). I then poured a two-inch layer of non-fertilized soil, then peat moss, and then fertilized soil (in a roughly 2:1:1 ratio) and blended them together. I repeated this until the pot was full (getting additional soil as needed), and then I repeated the process for the other three pots. I set the filled fabric pots in my garage (Pic. 10) for two days to allow any upset bugs to flee into my garage instead of my house. I then moved the pots (wrapping them in a contractor garbage bag to prevent making a mess) into the room with the grow light. I placed a board on top of the fabric pots to insulate the plants (in their smaller pots) from the cold soil (Pic. 11). Once the soil in the fabric pots reaches room temperature, I will transplant. (Ref. 1) This video shows the method I used to take a soil sample. I didn’t have a field to test, so I took four samples from the area where I will eventually plant outdoors and blended them together. I then mailed my soil sample off to the lab, and about a week later, I received an email with a PDF of my results (included with my pictures this week). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AwxmFxBwg&t=8s (Ref. 2) This video from the University of Minnesota Extension (many universities have agriculture extensions that can assist you with soil testing and growing information for your area) discusses what to do with your soil testing results: https://youtu.be/HYrkcfE62Pg (Ref. 3) This is a nice article that discusses organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.grow-it-organically.com/npk-fertilizer.html (Ref. 4) This article lists the NPK values of many organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.epicgardening.com/organic-fertilizers/ (Ref. 5) Many websites tout a fertilizer calculator…but this one is hands down the best I have found. If you scroll down to the bottom, you can enter any fertilizer type you want (and the cost, if you want). It will give you the exact blend of multiple fertilizers to solve your nutrient deficiencies (I included a snapshot of the solution I used in my pictures). https://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/ (Ref. 6) This is an excellent article that discusses how to evaluate your soil: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/publications/evaluating-preparing-and-amending-lawn-and-garden-soil

Еще одна хорошая неделя, другая неделя ближе... 😁 Девочкам, кажется, нравится новый свет, хотя они перестают расти в высоту. Вы видите, что они начинают откормлять. Я сделал дефоли... удалил большую часть листьев the big вентилятора с длинными стеблями. Я пробовал эту технику раньше со штаммом сативы, и, похоже, он работает хорошо... Так что давайте попробуем это с помощью индики Ог куш проста бешеная сучка :)

Another fun strain to run from Fastbuds, Bruce banner was amazing at a total of 83 days , came out with some thick dense resiny coated buds , an very sweet smell! Has very tight buds with tight stems so it would def be better to tie her down an open her up for some LST ! I highly recommend y’all trying Bruce Banner out , you won’t be disappointed!!

After several days of deep research on the internet, I decided to get myself a small set up (24x24x48 inch tent) to grow cannabis indoor, if this works I will definitely get a bigger setup. NYC Diesel Auto, two girls who sprouted beautifully after using the cup of water and paper towel method. Now I have them on a lightly mixed soil on solo cups (500ml) under a 600W LED light. I am using 1/4 tsp/gal of FloraGro and Micro for now. Using the trio of nutrients from General Hydroponics, FloraGro, Micro and Bloom. Day 2 and one of the two have broken the soil, the other one is MIA...Update: Both girls are out and about! Day 3 to 5 - both girls are coming along just fine. If anyone with more expertise has an explanation for my little girl whos coming along much slower than her big sis, please let me know!! All tips and advice from experienced growers are welcomed!

| 📅 Week 8 | Days 50 - 56 | 💡 750w 📏26' | | ☔ 33%-45% | | 🌡️️🌞 75 - 81 | | 🌡️️🌑 70 - 75 | 12/28: I did a reservoir swap on all the plants and adjusted their PHs to 5.8. Humidity was getting really low So I added some containers with water and a towel dipped in to act like a wick to increase the RH. The smell has started to get noticeable so Ill have to be adding the carbon filter sooner. 12/29: Humidity has responded well and has increased to near desired levels. All reservoirs were topped off and had their PH's adjusted to 6 because they have been dropping low lately. Moved the SCROG placements a bit and adjusted the fans as well. Refilled the ambient containers of water for RH levels. 12/30: Reservoirs were topped and although only one needed a noticeable amount. All reservoirs have dropped low again and have been adjusted to 6 to compensate once more. The humidity has reached desired levels and is being stable thankfully! 02/31: I removed a few containers of water because the RH has become fairly stable. The reservoirs were of course topped off, but today they were adjusted to a PH of 5.8 instead of 6 like the last few days. Adjusted the SCROG a small amount. The plants are showing severe Mag deficiency and I will be doubling their nutrient schedule ASAP I just fear the Nitrogen toxicity, but at this points its way better than a this Cal/Mag def. 01/01: Happy New Years!! I have set up the Carbon filter because the smell is getting very noticeable. I swapped out the back right non-focus plants reservoir with the doubled nutrients and added great white mycorrhizae as well. The Focus plant and the other had their reservoirs topped of with tap water then PHed to 5.8. 01/02: I adjusted the PHs of all the plants to 5.8 after topping them off with tap water. I also adjusted the SCROG a slight bit and removed some old foliage. The RH levels are still in the acceptable rage for my setup so I will just refill the open containers and not add/remove any of them. - 01/03: 2 of the plants including the focus plant had their reservoirs topped off. All of the plants had their reservoirs adjusted to 5.8PH. The RH dropped a slight bit, so I mixed some PHed tap water with CaliMagic to make foliar spray. Its not enough to compensate the lack of Mag in the Nutrient schedule. Tomorrow (Jan 4th) the plants will have their nutrients increased to resolve the issues. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time in the last week to do it sooner. _____________________________________________________ This marks the end of week 8! The nutrients will be increased tomorrow and I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to show the Focus Plants buds getting plump and dark much like its non-focus plant counterparts. The focus plant has undeniably shown its Purple phenotype at this point so that mystery has been resolved. The only questions now is how fast will these plants react to the increased nutrients and bounce? I have faith in these plants to put out a respectable harvest and i'm already looking forward to future runs with this strain now that I am more acquitted to it. All of the plants will be using Great White Mycorrhizae starting with their swaps tomorrow. Feel free to leave comments/questions below or give me any feedback to improve my diaries.
