I made a concoction of living soil using ingredients I could find of subcools formula. Theoretically all i need to add is ph balanced water. And a tea once I decide to flower. I'm waiting for some gadgets[ph and moisture meters]to come in before doing any extensive watering.

6/22 Some pictures didn't upload but that's probably a good thing. As long as the video went up its good. I need to take less pictures. I'm glad I watered the plants in the back with a premixed gallon last night as we didnt get nearly the rain I thought we would. It's small showers throughout the day. The plants are getting enormous. A couple have revegged. Mostly the 10th planet. The others aren't anywhere near as impacted. Boy are some of these stalks thick. I chose to keep a couple plants that could be grown naturally without topping or fimming. I like to see the structure of the tree bit with humidity like this 98%rh it's easy to get botrytis. That's why it's good sometimes to have multiple bid sites so your proverbial eggs aren't all in one basket. But you do end up with a massive cola. I think that mk ultra with the big fan leavescis just going to be one giant bud. That's what it's looking like. Oh and today is the summer solstice. Longest day of the year. 6/23 WATERED EVERYTHING. USED FIVE AND A HALF GALLONS. EVERYTHING GOT AT LEAST A HALF GALLON. Despite the rain we got and the bags still having some heft I decided to water. It's 80 at 9am. It's supposed to he in the upper 90's today and coukd break 100° tomorrow. I hate that the grow bags are black. That's way to hot for the plants. I should find some empty soil bags and wrap the black fabric for a couple days. A sunscreen might help but I doubt much. We'll see how it goes. 6/24 It's 90° at 9am. It's supposed to break 100° amd stay there a while. Up to 106°. Plants looked awesome this morning. I wasn't sure what I'd find. Today is the worst of the days. If it didn't break 100 yesterday it was damn close all day and the girls look GREAT. I WATERED AGAIN TODAY. I USED 6.5 GALLONS TO WATER THE GARDEN. It was nice cool well water too so they should like that. Branches are getting longer and I'm training as the get bigger. I need to put up the trellis but I'm not doing it in this heat. EDIT: 90° @ 6PM WENT OVER AND AS PREDICTED THE TWO TENS WERE DROOPING. IM WONDERING IF THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH IM THOSE TENS. LAST YEAR I HAD ONE THAT WAS HUGE IN A TEN BUT IT JUST DEVELOPED INDIVIDUAL CALYXS WITHPUT CONNECTING. CHECK IT OUT ON LAST YEARS DIARY. IF THATS THE CASE I SHOULD KIGHT DEP THEM BECAUSE THEYRE GETTING BIG. I WATERED THE TWO TENS WITH ABOUT A HALF GALLON AND I USED WHAT WAS LEFT OF THAT COLD WELL WATER ON THE 10TH PLANET IN THE 30. SHITS LIGHTER THAN USUAL BUT LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. THE REST CAN WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING FOR THEIR WATERING. TOMORROW TOPS OUT AT 85° WHICH WILL BE MUCH BETTER. IM LOVING MY STRAIN CHOICES RIGHT NOW. 6/25 It's super humid out but much cooler. I think it's like 80 at noon time. I had to water the two tens this morning. I didn't really HAVE to but I did. I filled up my watering can that says it holds 1.5 gallons (but it seems like more) and watered the two tens at least a half gallon and focused the rest on the 10th planet in the 30 and the other one up front that gets lighter than the rest. I was fully planning on watering EVERYTHING this morning but I could feel moisture in the soil and they had weight. I'm pretty sure I made the right decision. Especially with humidity so high. Either way I'll check tonight. EDIT: WENT TO THE GROW AT APPROX 2:30PM. I HAD BO IDEA HOW HOT IT WAD OUTSIDE. IT WAS 87° BUT THE HUMIDITY IS DAMN NEAR 100%! I HAD WATERED SHIT A KOT LATELY AMD WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING. THE TWO 10'S (WITH GIANT PLANTS THAT IM NOT SURE CAN FINISH IN TENS) WERE DRY AND LIGHT. A COUPLE SPECIFIC PLANTS WETE A "LITTLE" LIGHTER THAN THE REST. I MIXED UP THE WATERING CAN WHICHVIS 2.5 AND ANOTHER GALLON. I USED THE WATERING CAN ON THE PLANTS IN THE FRONT. THE CHEMDOG #4 WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LIGHTER THAN THE REST SO I GAVE IT MOST OF A GALLON. THE PLANTS THAT ARE STILL HEAVY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT LONGER BEFORE I WATER THEM. 6/26 This morning I came over to substantially lighter bags. I watered everything but the 50 with 5.5 gallons of water. Plants amd roots are getting heavier. My intuition told me to water that 10th planet but it was still wasn't TOTALLY dry. This happens a few times a year during hot stretches. It will be fine by the time I'm back. I've also noticed that the pink kush in the 50 (the only one that didn't use ALL new soil) is a substantially lighter green than every other plant in the garden. Boy I'm glad that heat wave is over. It's 67° at 9:30 that's much better. I'll update as I go. I'm still thinking about light depping the 10s. EDIT: HASN'T BROKE 70 YET AS OF NOONTIME. I THINK I MAY HAVE GONE A LITTLE OVERBOARD WITH THE WATER. TH8NGS LOOK ALRIGHT AMD THERE'S A GOOD BREEZE SO EVEN IF I DID THEY'LL DRY OUT QUICK. SO MUCH GROWTH SO FAST! THE MK ULTRA WITH THE BIG FAN LEAVES LOOKS A LITTLE SAGGY BIT IT WILL COME OUT OF IT. THE 10TH PLANET THAT WAS DROOPING LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER. IT DID REVEG AND IS STEAIGHTENING OUT TROM THAT. I DEFOLIATED SOME SPOTS TJAT LOOKED LIKE SEPTORIA. BUT THERE WERE BURNS AND DISTORTED LEAVES FROM BEFORE SO ITS HARD TO TELL. JUST A COUPLE LEAVES WITH THAT DOT. TIME WILL TELL. ITS PAST TIME TO GET MY IPM GOING ANYWAY. DURING ONE OF THESE COOLER DAYS IM GOING TO HAVE TO PREEMPTIVELY TREAT MY PLANTS. EITHER BT, CAPTAIN JACK OR PLANT DOCTOR IS WHAT I HAVE ON HAND AT LEAST. I HAVE CITRIC ACID AND K BICARB BUT HOPFULLY NONE OF THAT WILL BE NECESSARY. THE WIND IS FAR TO STRONG FOR A MITE POPULATION TO GET OUT OF CONTROL WHICH IS AWESOME. IM MAINLY WORRIED ABOUT THE PATHOGENS. 6/27 Rained last night but I don't think very much. Its much cooler. Went from 100 to 70 in a day. Plants did good to take those fluctuations. They are still SLIGHTLY overwatered with the mk ultra with the big fan leaves being the MOST over watered. There's a breeze today though and it's sunny blue skies. I think showers ate possible tomorrow at 4a.m. and it says showers throughout tomorrow to which sucks. I wad hoping to get a couple nice days to dry the plants out. The 10s are light again but the soil is still moist. It's hard when it's so hot to water the correct amount. At least it is for me. Killed a couole moths and a pillar. I noticed the first sign of pest damage so it's time to get out and start the IPM. I'm hoping for no pathogens. I'll update as I go along. EDIT: IT'S 75° AT 11:30. That mk ultra with the massive leaves still looks overwatered. One of the plants in the 10s looks the same but that one is light but the soil is moist. The MK ULTRA is still holding some weight and the soil is still damp. It's not the AMOUNT of water I've given them that's the problem it's the FREQUENCY that ive HAD to water that messed me up. Going from 70° to 100° overnight for several days kinda messed me up. It's improving though. I lifted it and it doesn't seem TO heavy. The soil is still slightly moist. I hope that I don't get so involved with thinking the plants are overwatered that they are actually under watered. I think I need to increase volume when watering and treat each vacant differently (which I have for the most part). I'm usually very measured and careful but it is what it is. No more water for a little while. Other than thecshowers at 4a.m. and the showers expected tomorrow. Surprisingly the small time I was away allowed the plants to show a pretty drastic improvement. EDIT #2 WENT BACK DOWN AT FOUR TO CHECK THINGS OUT. THE MK ULTRA I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IS DOING MUCH BETTER. EVERYTHING (SANS ONE IN 10) IS LOOKING MUCH BETTER. I DUG DOWN AND CAN TELL THERES MOISTURE IN THAT SOIL IN THE TEN THATS A LITTLE DROOPY. THATS WHY ID RATHER UNDER WATER TGAN OVER WATER. UNDERWATER AND YOU JUST GIVE THEM A DRINK AND THEY PIP RIGHT BACK. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET SHOWERS TOMORROW EARLY MORNING. HOPFULLY NOT MUCH. MY INTUITION TOLD ME TO HOLD OFF ON WATERING THAT PLANT IN THE TEN. THE OTJER IS THE SAME WEIGHT AND LOOKS GREAT. WASNT PLANNING ON GOING DOWN SO UNFORTUNATELY I DIDNT HAVE MY PHONE ON ME.

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Wao. Well, all good hopefully they will stop growing soon but the strech is not that much thanks for the trainings such as topping and LST.... Pistils are started appearing so they she the sex I think one more week to go and they will settle down concentrating on bud development. What to say every 2nd day is fertilization with the mix and ratio above now we are waiting. Anything else? Well just look atbthe pictures and decide what you think. I am pretty sure they look cool LOL. This Gleato Zamnesia is very promising I really like the smell already she is nice but all of them I mean I am in love with all so. Kalinia Asia is nice and I am so excited for the Sweed Seeds ones the red girls OMG :)

For this week, since its second week of bloom, will give it a P boost to the 1st gen mother to make sure she knows it's time to switch gears and flower. So taking out Flora Bloom and added dry Koolbloom which is 1-42-22 450PPM and also added 100 PPM of Flora Grow and 100 of CaMg for my main macro/supplement. Will be doing silica every other week and Hydro guard every week (since I found brown slime) Will resume with Flora Bloom next week. Been only doing Hydro for cloning and vegging so its my first time encountering brown Slime. Anyone know how I can get rid of it? What I know... - Need to lower PH to closer to 5-5.5 from 6.0 - Added Hydro Guard to fight slim - Minimize Air Stone duration - Been having it on pretty long because I have one large pump and I use it to brew Compost tea for my organic grow. - Need to minimize light penetration to resi - I have a perforated plastic cover laying around the house and I have been using that to cover the resi and sometime I even forget to put it on. Anything else? I run totally chemical nutes from GH Flora Series. And I have been sharing the PH and PPM meter with my organic nuets which I brew for 36 hours before use. Maybe some of that got contaminated thru that? Cause I have been using the same bucket system (without res) to raise my mothers for almost 7 months already and never encounter any slim before. I think I finally understand what tops are LOL: So please correct me if I am wrong... What I understand: - All tops large or small will "stretch" at the first weeks of flowering - Most of the "stretch" only occurs at the tops - The "stretch" will determine the length of that bud - The "stretch" should be as high as possible BUT with short distances between the NEW internodes that develop during that period. for a large and dense bud. - Don't get confused with stretch that cannabis experience under low light.

Another week gone for these 2 girls, they are looking very good and strong, getting some lovely autumn colours coming on the one at back so think she will be down soon. Will start to check trichomes on her next few days, as for the other one she’s just starting to fill out now, keeping the feed going for another week or so. Amazed by the amount of thc that’s on the girl looking forward to getting her down and trying her. Happy growing🌱

Como se puede ver al dia de la fecha (19/01) las plantas de macetas vienen creciendo con un problemita,que no sé cual es, pero las hojas algunas están tomando un color amarillo. Pensando que puede ser una carencia, le suministre 2 ml x litro de agua de oro negro de namaste, en los próximos días tendré que ver los resultados para ver si mejoran. Con respecto a la planta de la tierra, viene creciendo bien y fuerte, doble sus puntas principales para que crezca más horizontal.

Getting closer to the finish line. Smelling amazing and fruity. More than half the hairs are red. Waiting for a good bit of amber before harvesting. Could still have a week or two judging from other similar diaries. Leveled out on height a week or two ago.

July 29, 2024 So I was going to wait to harvest at the end of this week, but a friend of mine said I should harvest now. I agreed after looking closely at the trichomes. Sour Diesel A weighed in at 20.5 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel B weighed in at 19 Oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel C weighed in at 23.5 oz wet weight. No trimming. Sour Diesel D weighed in at 18 Oz wet weight. Partial wet trim. The cola is solid, so I couldn't access a lot of the stems from the fan leaves. It'll be a pain to trim I think. The environment should be around 65° and the humidity just below 60%. I'll strive to keep it that way. I shouldn't have a problem with the humidity still being high in my room. I'll be back in 10 to 14 days with a final yield and smoke review. July 30, 2024 Quick update with estimates. The environment in the tent is off by a lot today. I'll have to open the tent once or twice a day to let the super high humidity out. I hate my portable AC. So based on the 81 Oz wet weight and my previous runs, the weight retention after trimming should be around 13%. That should be a total of around 10 oz. It may be a tiny bit more or less. With Sour Diesel D being partially wet trimmed and being so dense, it might increase the total dry weight a little bit. But it could be as low as 8 Oz. We shall see. July 31, 2024 You know, it really sucks when the humidity still spikes and now the tent is too warm. However, as I'm writing this, the central air kicked on. This should fix it all, but I'm still running into super high humidity at night and in the morning while the AC is off. I really hope this doesn't mess up the final product. August 2, 2024 Day 4 of drying. Everything looks good so far. The humidity is still way too high and I'm thinking I should've wet trimmed just because the humidity is so high. Too late now. Anyway, I'm monitoring closely. The exhaust fan is maxed out to help keep air flow constant. That way there's less chance of mold and mildew. I also have both oscillating running below the plants with a small dehumidifier in the middle. It's not keeping the humidity down to a reasonable level, but it IS keeping it lower than it would be. With the fans running, it's evenly leveled out through the tent. The only issue is the temp. It's a bit on the warm side. I'd like it to be at 65°. Currently it's hovering between 69° and 70°. August 4, 2024 Day 6 of drying and these ladies are taking their time. Unfortunately it's because of the super high humidity we ran into the day I harvested. So I'm fighting with 71% humidity in my bedroom. It's crazy. The portable AC is doing absolutely nothing except keeping the temp below 70°. That's good, but it's not good enough. Oh well. I'll just keep opening the tent up with the bedroom light set to green to ensure they air out and let fresh humidity in. Lol. I'll keep checking in until they are done drying. August 6, 2024 Quick update. These ladies have been drying for 8 days now and they aren't ready yet. I'd say another 5 to 7 days. With the humidity being so bouncy, I feel like something will get messed up. It probably won't. I have the exhaust fan up and the oscillating fans going. Should be safe from mold and whatnot. But still. Currently, the temp is at 63° and the humidity at 60%. Hopefully it stays that way for the next few days. At least during the day. I have an idea for night time. It gets pretty humid at night. So I'll turn both dehumidifiers on when I go to bed and turn them off when the AC kicks on. That should technically keep the humidity down, but the temp may go up. However, I do run the portable AC at night to keep my room cool enough for the plants. That brings in a lot of humidity. Still no clue why, but it does. Anyway, the whole idea should work. I just have to remember to shut the dehumidifiers off when the central AC kicks on. August 8, 2024 We are at day 10 of drying. Still another few days left. So a good thing to note is the size of the buds. They didn't shrink all that much. To be honest, they look like they've only lost about 25% of their size. Not a bad thing in the slightest. Hopefully with that being the case, the yield will be even bigger than I calculated. I'd also like to make a correction with my original calculation. My average yield is 15% of wet weight. That being said, I should be looking at closer to 12 oz total. 81 oz. x .15= 12.15 oz. We shall see how close I am now. August 10, 2024 It's now day 12. These ladies are nearly done. I'd say another 2 to 3 days. Not much else today. Just a quick one. I weighed Sour Diesel D. She weighs 4 oz now. A 78% drop in weight. That being said, I think I can safely say this one will yield around 2 oz. Maybe a hint less. Which completely messed up my calculations. Now I don't know. I think I'll go back down to 8 to 10 oz. And if I get 12 oz, what happy surprise. I also made sure to check them for mold as I do every day. So far it looks great! No signs of anything unwanted. Just beautiful trichomes glistening in the light. Update: Sour Diesel A was the first to finish up. She had a perfect snap. Dry trimmed yield is 67 grams. 2.4 oz. Around what I thought I was gonna see. I'd say the rest will be trimmed over the next 2 to 3 days. August 12, 2024 What a couple weeks. We are talking like 14 days. At the end of it all, I ended up with 10.65 oz. Right around where I was thinking. Sour Diesel A 67 grams Sour Diesel B 78 grams Sour Diesel C 79 grams Sour Diesel D 77 grams. For a grand total of 302 grams. Weight retention 13.15%. almost exactly what I calculated. What's funny is that they are all roughly the same weight except for A. The plants were all different and still yielded roughly the same. C was the largest, while D was technically the smallest. All of the plants have solid buds. B has airy but hard buds. It's not perfect, but this plant had the most foxtails, so I'll have to remember there was some sort of issue. I'm thinking it was the heat stress. Must have been a pocket where the air didn't flow. I'll have to fix that next run. The smoke is fantastic. Super fire. Great high and lasts quite a while. 30 days of curing and then storage. I'll be using Grove Bags. August 15, 2024 Quick update and then some bad news. I fit each plant in its own 1/4 pound grove bag. They are now curing in a box. The average temp is around 68°. Humidity is perfect at 62% I haven't sampled each plant yet. Only A and B. I'll be sampling C and D next week. All in all, I'm pretty happy with this run. The yield was a bit lower than I was hoping for in the beginning, but it's still not too bad. Especially because I had some issues along the way. Now for the bad news. I'm losing my home in a couple months and won't be able to grow anything for a while. I have no idea how long it's going to be before I get a new home, and it could take up to 2 years given my situation. But I will be back when I'm able. Thanks for all the support and compliments. On a more positive note, I still have a good pound of weed to hopefully last me til I get a new home. I don't smoke a ton, so it'll last quite a while. Later my growmies.

Hey guys so it was an easy and nice run, a little bit disappointed with the outcome, only 223g with 3 plants but happy with the quality of the buds. Plant n.1 : 99g Plant n.2 : 63g Plant n.3 : 61g The curing phase start today so I will update soon for the smoke report.
