Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Had a few mishaps this week with my light schedule. Working nights now so I was not home when the lights were on and it was screwing up everything so I bumped the lights up and hour every night till it was turning on at midnight which is when I get off of work now. Well during that process a few things happened. My ac infinity controller 69 pro had lost wifi so I had been needing to do a reset because it’s still throwing an alert but I don’t use alerts so something’s wrong anyway I unplugged it during lights out and during the process of plugging it back in or something the lights decided to come on for a few seconds I believe is all it was so no worries it’s only once. Well that reset didn’t work so CS told me how to do it another way and I was able to do the reset but it didn’t work and I can’t remember exactly how it happened but later on the afternoon when the lights supposed to be off I realized I had the on for 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 sec lmao oops. So I went over 12hr by 2 hours so I just changed the schedule to give her 12hrs of dark then went back to my normal schedule but she only get 10 hrs of light that day. That was like a 2 or 3 day span of screwing up and I think I had another blip of the light turning on during dark period but can’t remember, trying to put that behind me and hope I didn’t stress her too much. She has been doing well besides that drama. Her ph has been crashing down to 5.5 fairly quick lately but I been on top of it. Got my auto top off setup I’ll see if I can add a pic, very simple gravity feed. I’ve noticed I’m pushing my limits on ppm, seeing some slight tip burn. Oh yeah bumped the light up to 7. Now on 7 of 10 which according to my new meter is not as bright as i expected

Overall i'm really happy with this strain. First i thought i wouldn't get a high yield but i'm pretty happy with it i got 250grams of top trimmed buds 2g of hashoil 2g of bubblehash and another 80grams of dry plant material for making bubblehash. Super potent strain with an amazing flavour, definitely nit the last time growing this strain.

RSV11 is still making progress. She had a second neem oil treatment on last update. I dunno if the pests are gone. If not. I will try a Insecticide soap. Most critters can't survive neem oil or keep reproducing. Why I never spray it in flowering. So I gotta make sure it's resolved before flowering. She should be reaching maturity soon. Thank you Terpyz Mutant Genetics, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Brand new here and my apologies as I'm actually on Week 5F at this time and have had to scour my journal, notes and photo's to catch this diary up to the present. Next run is 8 auto's( 2 FastBuds & 2 Seedsman) with 4 different strains so STAY TUNED! ...The babies are doing well with the exception that I had two Power Plant beans that failed to pop, third time was the charm which puts it roughly a week behind it's sista's. GSD is just hanging out desperately waiting for the little one's to catch up so she can flower as she's been vegging for 50 days already (I had her on a 19/4 light schedule with a Auto run that just finished). Temp's and RH good to go, daily light water right now with seaweed extract added @ 1tbs/gl.

Day 6 - Invested into a TDS Tester. Watering is at 10ppm as I filter it from the tap we are at 120ppm. No other updates. Day 5 - lollipoping and defoliation done, readjusted tie downs and watered. Looking good a starting to develop the trichomes now. Day 4 - left alone Day 3 - watered the ladies top down. Day 2 - left the plants alone Day 1 - no real updates just a watering and that's it. Letting it go for 2 days with no disturbance and seeing what happens. The end of week 6 left us in a pretty good situation headed into week 7.

Proof that you can flower decent at high temp and humidity. With an ac in another room I was able to drop temp to 26 and rh to 58 for last 2-3 weeks.

Hello everyone, Been busy but I shoot a little video for yall to see, also if growing is something you guys intended to do, I suggest you guys get yourselves a Digital Microscope or a jewlers loop. I just got myself a Digital Microscope for under $20.00 on Walmart.com, I got me a cheap one to start with so I can learn how to use it properly. But for under $20.00 this one brings 8 led lights, a adjustable mount, comes with 3 different connection choices build in, magnifies from 50-1000x, can take pictures and also videos and my favorite part, it connects right to my mobile device, you download and install a Google app and your ready to go, ill work with it and add pictures next week... See you guys soon 👊👊👊

So these 2 grew a little different, one from the other... They really thought me so much... Great growth all grow throughout and the low hight helped to avoid light burn, something I had trouble with last time. Will chop the second one in a few days time and add more info... Added some Bison pics
