Hello Growmies, We're at week 5 with our Caramel plants, and they're flourishing beautifully, standing at 25cm tall. Each plant has been topped and currently sports 6-8 nodes, showcasing robust and vigorous growth. The structure of Caramel is impressive and stands out in the standard setup. Taking a look at the provided pictures, Caramel #3 displays a strong central stem with symmetrical branching, indicating a healthy development. The rich green foliage is indicative of good nutrient uptake, though there's a hint of lighter green in the center, which could suggest new growth or a slight imbalance in feeding. Caramel #2 exhibits a denser canopy, and while it has been topped like the others, its stature is a bit more compact, which is perfectly normal as each plant grows at its own pace. Caramel #1 shows similar characteristics to #2, with a lush and dense canopy, looking hearty and well-maintained. The feeding regimen remains consistent with Alga Grow, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, applied every three days. This consistency in nutrition is clearly paying off with the plants' strong appearance. Unfortunately, we don't have Tent X environmental control in this setup, so we're not tracking conditions as closely as with other plants. Nevertheless, the Caramels are thriving, and the absence of the controller doesn't seem to hinder their progress. Stay lifted, Salokin

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

There is little to say yet. I recommend everyone to try this technique at least once. Maximize your harvest and increase your personal experience. If you want more serious proof of how mainlining works, take a look at the diaries of @Canamatoes, my teacher and mentor. More updates later, stay high🤘😁🦄

Welcome to the first flowering week Day 29 Growth is promising. Day 30 Started with a bad news. Main stem, center, got broken due to lst. Lower rope got released, and it made upper one to snap quickly... I noticed quite late sadly. I gotta admit, it's like tradition that main stem breaks whenever I grow 😂 I still tried to fix it back. I don't know if it's gonna work or not, but Jeffrey was through A LOT, and hopefully she will get through it aswell. I will update photos later today What's most important, hopefully it won't stunt my plant. Update. She seems okay. Day 31 Reviving center top is not working as I see. If it gets worse I will remove the tape and check it out, if no luck, it will be removed. Added 5 liters of fresh water, balanced out pH and added nutrients. Something is telling me I will see difference by tomorrow. Day 32 Added brick under the pot, so when I need to completely drain reservoir, it's gonna be on higher level, which will make the cycle easier. Did some defoliation, and took photos 2-3 hrs later. Center did not survive, so completely removed it. Duct taped the snapped open top. Day 33 All good. She's drinking almost 2 liters +- a day Day 35 So final day of this week. She is bushy. She is drinking like 2.5 liters a day. Quite appetite she got with those PPM-s 😀 I didn't defoliate much this week, but I will make a good one next week. I have no idea if this lights I am using gonna be enough or not. Let's see, maybe I can get her additional 240 watts? Let's see ❤️☘️

Black Jack nació en el año 2006, junto con la aparición al mercado del banco Sweet Seeds, de nacionalidad española. Al comprender dos mundos extrañamente dispares, conseguiremos una planta muy estable y homogénea, ideal para aquellos que cultivadores amantes de híbridos poco ramificados. Esta cepa marcó un antes y un después ya que el poder de la Black Domina se puede notar sobre todo en la sensación física ofrecida. Surgen de ella dos fenotipos claramente dispares, ya que uno tiene a la Black Domina con su resinado extremo y el otro se alarga bastante en altura dando un aspecto de Jack Herer

So this marks the beginning of week 4! At then end of week 3 I noticed a bit of over watering as well as possible nute burn (early early stages) so this week I'm decreasing the dosages on EVERYTHING and I'm going to let my baby's dry out ! This will be their final week in the 5" square pot as I'm going to move them into their new and final homes. I want to thank everyone who comes and stops by my diaries you guys are wonderful people and I've learned so much already ! So keep on keeping on and remember to check my diaries daily for updates !! Anyone checking out the pictures it isn't mites or any of that I been having a battle to get them to my standard of clean since the transplant. Slow and gentle is the way so no damages are done ! :) -Happy Growing !

Very pleased with the constant growth from these strains. They've really taken off after their first feeding. I think the tap roots have also finally hit the bottom 1/3 of Roots Organics Lush soil. I'll probably let the LUSH feed most of the vegetative nutrients and start amending flower nutrients in next week or the week after depending.

Starting week 1 of flower on this Forbidden Runtz Auto from FastBuds! She has been a pleasure to grow so far! She hasn't shown many signs of issues at all. She is definitely a little thirsty right now so we will take care of that immediately. More updates soon! Day 48 we removed some dead and dying leaves from her lowers. Still growing awesome though! Haven't had to adjust the tie on her main branch or anything. She has been basically maintenance free! She even spread herself out beautifully!

Flowering is starting well, starting to see trichs so I’ve gave them their first feed with bloom nutes (C4) which is also 95% organic which is always a bonus imo and I’ve not grown anything using organic products so I’m anticipating to see the end results. Their all 3ft tall or just under which is abit taller than usual but overall we’re looking fine, did some minor defoliation and lollipoping on the bottoms 1/4 of all 3.

Hey Friends, end of week 8 from seed :) Many new things have occurred this week Plant 1 is beginning to mature, its not growing in height as much as before but now its getting thicker and looking stronger. I am slowing increasing the amount of nutrition, I don't want to burn them at this stage. I noticed some of the leaf stems were turning red, so I decreased the light and its turning back to green. Did some defoliation this week to give more room to the smaller leaves. Plant was getting taller and was too close to the grow Light so I installed some netting inside the tent and it helped control the height for now, if it gets taller ill purchase a bigger grow tent 😩 Looking forward in seeing some bud formation in week 9, will keep you guys posted. Thanks for all the support, see you guys next week! #FirstGrow #Plant#1 #MysteryStrain
