Hey guys that’s my first diary. So don’t be so hard with me 😅

This week was full of ups and downs,,smiles and frowns,,,due to some early LST,,I managed to pop a couple branches off,,which is always frustrating but at the same time,,interesting and challenging,,so I will let her do her thing for a week or so,,and then look at how I’m going to shape her,,might be a blessing,,🤞🤞🙏

Trying to keep away as I fear my meddling caused my hermie's. I found a light out, luckily I have 2. Looking for an upgrade now. Will use the remaining light as a backup. End of week, I have 3 x "600w" LED lights. Total draw is about 360w. 2 white (with added red) and one blurple in between them. I need to fix hanger system to keep them close, but not too close to affect cooling.

Hello colleagues! I have reached the end of the cycle, everything is going well. I like the obvious difference in the plant phenotypes, it is interesting to fully reveal each strain. Next week - watering with clean water, and we will be approaching the harvest. Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! 🙏 To be continued... 😶

So many new nodes coming in after LST and topping, starting to become a sea of leaves. I am experimenting on all 4 with different training types in order to see which gives me the best result in my set up. The largest I gave LST and topped the 6th node, gave one only LST, one with only topping, and one with no training. Getting pretty hyped on what’s still to come

7 days into drying. Will allow another 5-7 days or until branches snap as you bend them. Smell is unbelievable! Letting off scents of Cheese and fruit. Very Pungent! Will update photos when I trim the buds up and jar! Thanks!

So only two are really goin!! I fucked up on one somehow idk why :0, but these two are glowing!! The one I snapped in half is growing so symmetrical now !! In the hey Abby, other one in coco , 5 gal pot sharing her home with a cut of mine. (Brainstain).

Day 36: I really underestimated the strech boys. Had to move my growbox in the air because otherwise they would get burned by my HPS lamp. The one who started getting sick has grown huge. I don't really know if that is a good thing. My preferred one (with the purple badge) is doing again the best I think. He kept small but seems to have much more branches with buds growing. Anyway, the lamp I used to flower was a huge mistake. It is to hot and it doenst cover enough space so I have to move the plants to close to each other. I hope they still manage to survive the heat because I'm currently not at home. Thanks for reading!

Phew! She's growing with insane vigor!! She was watered with a 2.5 gallon dosage of de-chlorinated tap water today! The previous 1.5 Gallon dosage was "only"(lol) lasting for 3 days before becoming 90% dry, so I've gone up to max dosage! 2.5 Gallons caused 15% of that water to run-off, out of the bottom of the pot. She will likely dry to 90% again, and be ready for another dosage in 5 days! I'm extremely excited to defoliate her, she's testing my patients! :)

Starting to rippen up/start a fade. Been feeding pkbosster every other water.

Day 49-56 (Day 50) I hooked up my carbon filter to the humidity controller and it is keeping the room exactly at 65-70% RH night and day. It looks like it turns on about every 45 minutes for about 5 minutes so it allows me to run the co2 bag properly. I don’t even have to use my dehumidifier. The room is 100% dark now too. Even the small red lights on the space heaters. Not going to feed anything other than foliars this week. (Day 51) Blackberry #4 & #8 #9 and white widows #2 & #3 are all confirmed males. Chopped them down and recycled the soil. White widow #1 is the first official female and I’m starting to see pistils on the m39/zkittlez too. Plants seem to be responding to the light fairly well. It’s hung 32 inches above the canopy which is as high as it can go without strapping it to the roof, which may have to happen one day. The plant can get within 6 inches of the light so I’m probably good. The ppfd output is 1800umols which is super high so I want to hang them as high as possible in veg. I wish I could rent a ppfd meter to see if I’m in range at 32”. (Day 52) Blackberry breath #3 is the first official bbb female to show. I decided to scrap BCTG #2. It sounded like a good strain but after looking at pictures of people who have grown it online, it doesn’t look up to my standards. I found a very small patch of powdery mildew on one of the leaves so I’m not even going to start with that shit again. I’m really thinking about scrapping the m39/zkittlez and the white widow too. I’m praying that I get at least 4 females of BBB. I tried super cropping for the first time today. A few of the branches I definitely squished a bit too much as they turned quite brown and looked dead within a day. (Day 53) Despite the m39/zkittlez vigorous growth, I know it will be a shitty strain that will most likely herm as it’s from a bag seed of low grade weed. I’ve decided instead of scrapping it, I will use it for experimenting with a new chemical powdery mildew preventative. If it dies oh well. I doused it and chopped a limb off a few hours ago during lights on and it seems fine. (Day 54) I’m about 90% sure BBB 6&7 are both female. #2 & #5 are looking like males but too early too tell. #1 is really tough to say. Just gotta be patient I guess. #3 has a great spread out structure, I hope it doesn’t stretch too much. The scrogging is a priority. I put up the scrog net just to see how it fits. It’s a little small around the edges but that’s fine. So it’s looking like out the 9, I would be lucky to get 4 fems if #1 & 7 would show forsure already. If #1 is a female I have my 4 and I can throw out the white widow. The white widow is just insurance at this point. Super cropped plants have recovered nicely. Going to continue doing this more. I’ve noticed that the plants that were put into my custom soil mix have very small fan leaves compared to the fabric pots of straight promix and dry amendments. Could also be the fabric pot is helping dry downs too. (Day 56) I’m seeing some yellowing so I’m going to give a foliar spray just too keep some deficiencies at bay. All of the plants are stunted except the m39 and bbb#3. Node spacing has also reduced significantly. I can’t help but feel it’s from the intensity of my lights but maybe they just need a transplant into some new soil something. Luckily the stunt and droop is only really happening to what I suspect are male plants anyway. Leaves are looking twisted and gnarled on #5. Going to move it into the veg tent for a while. I’m going to mix up and amend my Destiny/coco blend today and transplant bbb#3 and 6 & 7 in a few days. I mixed them up in contractor bags making sure to toss and turn vigorously. Here is my blend: 2 bags 40L Destiny soil 2 bags 40L coco 700ml glacial rock dust 700ml oyster shell flour 700ml nature’s pride bloom 300ml basalt rock dust 150ml langbeinite 150ml nature’s pride veg I am also going to try the Destiny top dress as it’s only 13 bucks a bag and full of good shit. I’m trying to not feed heavy in flower other than 2 or 3 top dresses and 2 teas and nothing after week 5. Because it’s taken so long for the plants to show sex, when I transplant into the 10 gallon pots, they should have more than enough nutrients too keep them going strong all the way through flower with just water. I’m a little skeptical about that though. Besides teas and dressings are fun. Everything should be broken down by week 8 or so. Will transplant in a few days.

Perfect grow

Alright, week 8! Blueberry, the healthy one, looks just fine! Im looking a lot forward too see this tall plant get done. The sick one, seems like it has some normal growth, but i am just unsure of the outcome of the quality of the buds.. lsd-25 is still looking great and will be harvested in a week or 2. I will probably start flushing this week. Day 54: found some little orange egg-looking things in the buds of one og the lsd plants. I removed it and cross my fingers it will stay away. The lsd’s also show some minor signs of nute burn, and the other one is a bit light green on some leaves. I found plants that acted similar in other diaries, but for now i gave straight water

The ladies are looking amazing. I'm real happy with their progress. They're keeping a real nice distance between nodes. They got their first feed yesterday at half dose. They've taken it well so will adjust accordingly moving forward. The Banner is putting out crazy roots. It's almost time to put this girl into the 40l smart pot. The lateral growth is thickening. I'm going to top her as soon as I can and do a bit of lst. There is a slight curling on the edge of the leaves(?) but other than that there's no other apparent issues. The Skittles is bossing it right now and will also need to be moved to the smart pot. Brilliant lateral growth and it is pretty much ready to top. The Blue Gelato and amnesia Haze are on Day 7 and are looking great for moving into their second week. They've been moved into their next pot and I'm hoping they catch up with the other ASAP. Update: This lady went into her 46l smart pot on day 18 ant topped at the same time. Time for an explosion of growth and some LST.

She’s getting very frosty and buds are getting thicker everyday

So I learned from my last auto plants not to top them, these ones I have more done training (lst) by the time I would top my photos... they are growing good, one plant is and has always been strange. Giving tap water that I let sit but got a good rain and lots of rain water so I will be giving that from now on. Until now I watered less than drenching the soil, but today I gave a good water and I think I will do so from now on.
