Week 2 of flower

These 2 Six Shooter have really settled in now. Massive amounts of growth if you look back at last weeks diary. Both also just starting to show signs of flower. No deficiency in either which is a great way to start their first week of flower. Along with my Pinapple these will get all the under growth chopped out next week. The light i used to veg them kept the internodal space very short but it's also meant they are mega bushy and theres a lot of undergrowth that's not receiving any light and taking energy from the healthier tops. Very thirsty plants. They have taken 6 litres every 48 hours and I believe they will most likely need that every 24 hours once deep into flower. I'm excited to see just how good a strain this is........ so much so that I've germinated another 6 seeds and will be doing a full Six Shooter scrog when this grow is complete. Added 2 more photos at day 45. Starting to really fill the net out. Undergrowth has been chopped away. I'll keep spreading them out untill I run out of empty squares in the net. After that I'm at thier mercy. Loving this frow so far.

6/26 Rained last night. Might have showers bur the sky is clear. Real good weather coming. I need to transplant those seedlings. Plants are noticeably bigger every day. I see small spits of damage but it's isolated and in a high wind area. I'll address it and watch for nute deficiencies. Also need to transplant those seedlings. At leastcones an auto. 6/27 Rained overnight again. Looks clear today but we did get some rain yesterday. Tomorrow is all sun. I'm planning to transplant those 3 seedlings today. Also noticed some ragged holes so I've got a few pests. Looks like grasshoppers or something. With all the rain could be slugs or pillars I guess. Need to get ipm up amd running. I've got work to do. Found a plant on my gmo in the 30 bag. It got sun burnt and wind burnt but came out of it and they're all doing great. At first this one was a little behind after transplant but so were the other gmo's. Originally, it was one of my best plant prior to transplant outdoors. That one leaf I found during a thorough inspection of the garden. I'm hoping it's not tmv. Plants growing vigorously and better than but I'll keep an eye on it. I also transplanted the 3 seedlings. I added half new 707 in the 50 (prior soil was this same mix from last year) and transplanted one in that. One in a 10 gallon bag and the auto in a 5 gallon bucket. It will be interesting ingredients seeing how they turn out. All transplants went really smooth. 6/28 It's gonna be a hot one today. I haven't watered in over a week due to rain. Wind was whipping this morning! Looked like plants MIGHTVE been drooping but now that I think about it it was probably just the wind. ANYWAY I WATERED TWO AND A HALF GALLONS on the clones. That wind dries the bags out fast. Some still had some heft to them. Lately I've been going by my intuition which has seemed to be on point. All the seedling transplants look good and show no signs of stress. 6/29 The site was down so I couldn't update. Looks like it's gonna rain. It's noontime. This morning i found and killed two inch worms. There's not much damage so I'm wondering whether bt is necessary. Birds sit on the frame and dart I'm and grab them. I'll have to think on it. I also need to decide what I'm going to use for nutes this year. Don't need it yet. GMO's and sherb pie is putting out pistols everywhere. Same with the event horizon. Looks like I may have an early harvest this year. I certainly hope so. Still.....only did half what I did last year but with everything going on its all I can handle. 6/30 Site was down and it doesn't want to pet me upload my pictures 7/1 Trying to keep this updated. Need to spray bt. I'm seeing some damage. Not much but I need to get a handle on it now. Poured yesterday. Super sunny today. Plants seem to be flowering early this year while I still have a 2 seedlings that haven't shown their sex yet (they are fems but still). The clones are beginning to flower it looks like so I may have an early harvest this year. 7/2 WATERED THE GARDEN WITH 4 GALLONS. Spent some time looking over the plants and decided to hold off on the bt seeing as there isn't much damage. I spoke to a few shop owners and after seeing my garden this wad their advice as well. While watering I noticed red ants coming out of the soil of my GMO in the 30 gal. Some of these strains will be early finishers. The only time I've had stigmas like tjis was when I grew mendo breath and that was a super early harvest. Either way things are looking fantastic. The auto seedling finally showed a stigma. One seedling left (they should ALL be females) but I cant tell by the preflower yet. It looks female but I need to see that little white hair emerge to be sure.

The week has been going very well plants are reacting good to nutrients and seem to be happily growing , haven’t fiddled around too much this week as starting to get the hang of things slowly ! The grow so far has been quite smooth And haven’t run into any Major problems all plants have been topped and will continue lst throughout I believe they look quite healthy haha ? First timers luck 😉🤨 we hope so Good end to the week next week I shall trim and see how that goes Happy growing 💎

This week, I finally harvested. In my opinion, the plants were nicely ripe and ready for harvesting. I decided to dry the plants whole and hang them in the tent with the exhaust fan turned on. The plants smell good, and the humidity in the tent is between 55-65%, depending on the weather conditions.

Start of week 5, the girls are looking promising. Trichome production is in full flow now, leaves and buds getting very frosty. Slowly increasing the EC in 0.1 increments to avoid overfeeding and nutrient burn but still push the genetics. Also added a dehumidifier to help keep the humidity down and in range. Although not a whole lot to do, pH and EC parameters are still very important. Will be checking in, the next few days.

10/15 This week saw a few snags. Both gorilla zkittlez girls are showing what looks like a Mg def i.e yellowing between veins and green veins themselves. This isn't the first time they've exhibited these symptoms. Currently the heaviest affected leaves are the lowest fan leaves farthest from the light. Aiming to keep it that way. I think it's pH swinging too low. I need to pay more attention to my feeds but sometimes I don't have the time to pH my water as properly as I should. The reason I say it's that and not a deficiency is because they are also showing signs of over feed (yellow leaf tips) only a one half-strength feed did this. There must be plenty of food left in the pot. I'm thinking the flip is gonna come at the end of the week. I'll clean up some lower foliage tomorrow or Sunday and let them grow the rest of the week. 10 weeks seems like a nice round number to me. More pics coming when I do my defoll. 10/16 added some pics and vids

Was another good week this week. Seem to have figured out the brown spotting, started adding sensi-calmag to the mix and the spotting has stopped and leaf color is darkening back up. Not sure if was from calmag deficiency or low nitrogen, but either way they look better so it seems like it was the right call. Did a light defoliation early in the week, maybe a dozen leaves per plant. Just the usual stuff under canopy or bunching too much. Has been much easier to keep humidity down since the heavy defoliation a week ago. Buds are really starting to look good on three of the four plants with the front left being furthest along. She is starting to pack frost already! Back left still looks a week behind, but coming in strong. Could this be a come from behind winner? Last day of the week took apart the Autopot system for a good clean. Clean the res, flush the lines with line cleaner, pull and clean the valves with dish soap, cleaned out the trays, wipe down the underside of the pots and back together it all goes. Been running for 40 days and this is the first clean, should be the only one as there's only maybe 40 days left. I find the B52 builds up a bit of sludge after a month or so, but worth using have seen noticable better grows since adding it to the feedings. Either way, an hour of work once a grow is nothing to complain about VS all the time out in hand watering. Also a big improvement on the newer 5.0 valves vs the previous generation. They are about double the diameter, so they gunk up MUCH less and fill a lot faster. Using the old valves I was cleaning every 1-2 weeks depending on feeding frequency. Lights 18" @90% pushing 700umol/s Watering 32L every 3 days Air domes running 100% of time 4" intake @70% 6" exhaust @50% 6" Oscillating fan @50%

3rd week of Flower done, Shining silver haze is 99days old and honey cream and critical are 68days old. Been hard controlling the front 2 plants definitely taken over light of back 2 plants, starting to support honey cream at front as its coals are getting heavy ans dropping. Will increase nutrients today, 3rd week done and looking good and healthy got the odd brown pistols and hoping it's not mould related

Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]

You can see that the buds have hardly grown any more this week and I am waiting for the trichomes to mature further. What surprised me, however, was that the Blue Dream recovered very well. Of course it has remained significantly smaller due to the problems, but the buds look promising.

I'm absolutely thrilled to share my with you as I see my Cosmos F1 from Royal Queen Seeds enter the first week of flowering. Let me tell you, this CBD strain has exceeded my expectations in every way! First off, can we talk about how big she's gotten? I'm amazed at the growth spurt during the vegetative stage. I've been bending the leaves gently to promote an even canopy and ensure that every bud site gets enough light. She's looking so healthy and vibrant, and it just fills my heart with joy. As for nutrient boosters, I've started incorporating some key products from Aptus Holland into my feeding regimen. I've added extra phosphorus (P) to support flower development, as well as a topbooster to enhance essential oil production. These supplements are designed to optimize plant health and yield, and I've already noticed a difference in the overall vigor of my Cosmos F1 since I started using them. Now, let's talk about the importance of the pre-flowering stage. This is a critical period in the cannabis life cycle, as it sets the stage for the upcoming flowering phase. During pre-flowering, the plant undergoes hormonal changes that trigger the transition from vegetative growth to flower production. It's crucial to provide the right conditions and nutrients during this stage to ensure a successful flowering phase. One of the main reasons why I started using nutrient boosters during the pre-flowering stage is to help my Cosmos F1 build up the necessary resources for flower production. The extra phosphorus promotes strong bud development and enhances the plant's ability to produce flowers, while the topbooster stimulates that plus essential oil production, which contributes to the overall potency and aroma of the buds. Moreover, using nutrient boosters during the pre-flowering stage can help prevent nutrient deficiencies and ensure that the plant has all the nutrients it needs for optimal growth. This is especially important during the transition to flowering, as the plant's nutrient requirements change, and deficiencies can negatively impact flower development and yield. In conclusion, the pre-flowering stage is a crucial time for cannabis plants, and using nutrient boosters like extra phosphorus and topbooster from Aptus Holland can greatly support your plant's health and development during this critical period. I'm absolutely loving the results I'm seeing in my Cosmos F1, and I can't wait to see her bloom into a beautiful CBD-rich harvest.

I think she might go for another week I’m just loving how the purple is coming out and I haven’t seen anyone else grow this strain like mines

Small But Fearless 🌱💥 Divine Seeds Competition V2.0 Here we go! The first week is done and my Auto Pablo Escobar is already showing signs of a strong and determined character. 😎🌿 After sprouting well in her Jiffy, she was carefully moved into a 20L fabric pot, where she’ll have plenty of room to grow and show off. 💪 I added mycorrhiza directly at the transplant site to give her roots a boost, and she’s already pushing her second set of true leaves. Structure looks compact and promising—definitely one to watch closely. 👀 Here’s what went into her care this week: 🔸 Transplanted to 20L fabric pot 🔸 Mycorrhiza added to the root zone 🔸 Watered twice with BioBizz RootJuice for smooth rooting 🔸 pH adjusted to 6.5 I’m keeping her environment stable and stress-free, and she’s responding beautifully so far. Starting next week, she’ll also get some compost tea to support early microbial activity and strengthen her base. Let’s see where this one goes—Auto Pablo looks like she’s got plans! 🔥🌿

Hey Grow Diaries fam, We’re back with another exciting update on our PCR adventure! We’ve hit Week 11, which means we’re now in Week 7 of flowering, and the transformation continues to amaze us. Overview The PCRs are truly in their prime, with colors intensifying and buds swelling beautifully. This week has been all about fine-tuning their nutrient intake and ensuring they get exactly what they need to finish strong. Environment and Conditions Tent: 3x3, kept spotless to ensure the best possible growing environment. Lighting: ViparSpectra P2000, continuing to provide the perfect spectrum for our flowering ladies. Watering: TDS at 420, pH 6, and water temperature at 21°C, keeping everything balanced and consistent. Nutrient Regimen We’ve made a critical adjustment to our feeding schedule this week: TopBooster: Phased out as we shift focus. P-Boost: Cut from the mix as we near the final stages of flowering. K-Boost: Increased to provide that crucial potassium boost, ensuring maximum bud density and potency. This tweak in our regimen is aimed at enhancing the final development of our buds, making them as dense and potent as possible. Growth and Development The PCRs continue to fill out the tent, with their buds growing denser and more aromatic by the day. The increased K-Boost has given them that extra push, and the results are clear – we’re seeing some seriously impressive bud formation and trichome development. Reflections This week has been about dialing in the final touches to ensure our PCRs finish strong. The colors are popping, the buds are dense and sticky, and the aromas are out of this world. We’re gearing up for an incredible harvest, and the anticipation is building! A huge shout out to: Aptus Holland: Your nutrients are the backbone of this grow, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Art Genetix: For creating such a stellar strain.
