She is still alive and kicking. It smells amazing and looks awesome! She won’t be getting much of anything except for water for the rest of the time, not that she’s gotten much anyways. I’m just waiting for her to tell me she’s done. It’s almost harvest time!!!

Accidentally "topped" her by hard LST... Way she goes. I top dressed this week with 50/50 Gaia green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4... 😊😊 Things seem to be looking great! Can't wait for flower to come on hard!

24 Oct 2021 Week 16 began yesterday, but the first watering of the week was today. I’m keeping up with the flush, starting the 2nd week today. Hopefully I’ll be able to harvest in a few days. My Trio is looking really lovely. Their buds are covered in trichomes that glisten under the lights. They are starting to darken in color in some areas like their mother did. They may take on some pinkish/purple hues before it’s all done. Some of their leaves are turning purple as well. The sugar leaves are somewhat dark, but still green. All three of them are very nice to look at, and their smell is super strong! It’s really nice in my grow room! Yesterday I went out and got some more of those support sticks from the local home store and provided support for all of the branches that needed it. Which was a lot! I got 7 new support sticks and used them all. All of the branches are now supported and flourishing! Today each of my girls received a gallon of properly pH’ed water, and each had a sufficient amount of runoff from which to gather measurements. The process went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3’s initial pH was 6.8. I added .2ml of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.4 for C1, and 6.3 for C2 and C3. TDS going in was 88 ppm for C1, 86 ppm for C2, and 84 ppm for C3. Runoff measurements were a little weird. The runoff pH for C1 was 5.9. The TDS was (at first) 600 ppm. I thought that was an incredible drop from the other day, so I did it again. It was 603 ppm the second time. Ok, moving along nicely! The runoff for C2 was pH - 5.8, and TDS was 1101 ppm. 😳 That’s a lot more than C1. C3 had a pH of 5.6, and TDS of 1212 ppm. Which is even more; so I measured a little more from C1 again, and the 3rd time it measured 736 ppm. 🤔 That seems weird to me, but I’ll keep an eye on it. If it continues to be that low then I will end up harvesting it before the others which won’t be so terrible. I’ll just have to wait and see. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 47%. My ladies are looking lovely and growing better than I could have hoped for. This grow has been awesome, but I can’t wait to be done. Happy growing everyone! 27 Oct 2021 Feeding/flushing time again! I was somewhat perplexed the other day when I got the runoff reading for the TDS in C1. It was 500-600 ppm less than C2 & C3 respectively. Since I was having some issues with the TDS meter I thought that IT may be the cause. I made a note to check on it today, and there seems to be no problem with the TDS meter at all. Keep reading for details. My plants are still looking as lovely as I could ever have hoped for! C1 has started showing more color changes than the other 2, and the only thing I can say the difference is, is that I defoliated some of C1’s larger fan leaves last week, and wasn’t able to do the same for the other 2. That is the ONLY thing I can think of that has been different between all 3 plants this entire grow. Regardless, all 3 plants are looking wonderful! Today each of my lovely ladies received a gallon of property pH’ed water with an expected amount of runoff for testing. The preparation went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3 was at 7.0. I added 0.2ml’s of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH of all 3 gallons to 6.3. TDS going in for C1 & C2 was 85 ppm, and C3 was 84 ppm. Runoff levels were different for all three plants. C2’s runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 1041 ppm. C3’s pH was 5.6, and TDS was 1059 ppm. Last time C1 was significantly lower than the others, and I thought that maybe it was a TDS meter issue. Evidently it wasn’t. C1’s TDS today was 526 ppm! 😳 still much lower than the others, and pretty much ready for harvest. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 43%. Although harvest time is much closer, I don’t believe it will be done in time for this month’s grow diary of the month contest. So sad, but that’s life. Happy growing everyone! See you again soon. 29 Oct 2021 Today is the last day of week 16. I was planning on continuing the flush today, but remembered something that I had forgotten about…. I remembered the branch that had broken off of C1 back on October 10th in week 14. She had held on for well over a week in a can of water, but finally her leaves started to droop. I hung it up all by itself in my small tent to dry. Until today that is! I took it outside and trimmed it on my deck. Even outside, in a pleasant breeze, the amazing smell of this branch was easily detected. It’s kind of windy, rainy, and chilly here today, but still …. That sweet blueberry muffin smell was there. Her buds; still covered in the dried, crystallized trichomes were super sticky! I must admit that they are the stickiest buds I have grown to date. I weighed the dry bud to add to the grand total of C1’s harvest later. Then I ground it up and smoked it. All I am going to say is that from my reaction to smoking it; I have decided that no additional flushing is needed. After all, what I smoked today broke right before I started flushing, and I could taste nothing other than what I would hope to taste. So my fellow Growmies; I am ending this week right here. The next report you will see will be the harvest report!! Stay tuned!

Chopped her on day 83, sadly the last day is not on timelapse due to a camera firmware update and after the reboot it returned its angle to base and I didn't notice it. Stem and Buds turned slightly purple in the last days. The ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.

Beginning of week.. They are starting to show pistils everywhere.. They both already showed preflower.. But you can really see more and more pistils popping out every day.. And the Mandarin Cookies is already stretching WAY too much lol.. This isn't gonna work out as I wanted it to.. Ugh.. This one Mandarin Cookies could easily fill this 2x4 tent by herself at this point.. Poor ETHOS Cookies is gonna be drowned out or deprived of light.. But this Mandarin Cookies is gonna produce more than enough by herself as well.. Even if she isn't a huge yeilder! The ETHOS Cookies is showing some hints of some possible early bag apeal?? Maybe?? The stems that connect the leaf to the main stem is showing some cool designs.. Usually they are just solid red or purple.. Or solid green or yellow.. This one is green with red stripes.. Not a deficiency because the plant is healthy. If there were any signs of issues then the coloring on the stem would be an issue.. In this case, it is genetics and usually is in my case.. I've always had 99% of my plants show the red/purple stems.. From autos to photos.. From ilgm to fastbuds.. They almost have all showed this "sunburn" type coloring on the stems that are exposed to the heavy lighting.. Usually nothing to worry about.. Now if you see other issues and that begins to pop up out of nowhere.. Then yes.. It would be a deficiency.. But this is why I love growing in coco.. Its quicker to fix issues than soil.. I can flush all day and still add my nutrients after without having to wait for the medium to dry out.. Hydroponics would be the easiest, I suppose.. Just change the reservoir lol.. Damn.. That was alot of nonsense lol.. Sorry I've been smokin my cheese harvest! Yum! Lol Mid week.. Ok so the Mandarin Cookies was stretching 2-3 inches daily! I went ahead and dropped the Mandarin Cookies off of the crate I still had her on.. Now she is on the ground.. The ETHOS Cookies is still up on 2 larger crates.. A good 10 inches from the ground maybe.. I vegged this Mandarin Cookies a little too long.. I bet one week earlier would have made a HUGE difference.. But whatever.. I am content woth the way things are going.. Runoff pH is still trippin on the Mandarin Cookies.. Usually 5.7.. It has spit out 5.5 once or twice but it seems to jump back up to 5.7 the next watering.. The ETHOS Cookies has been dialed back in.. Runoff is the same as it goes in.. But the ladies are both lookin healthy.. Slowly spittin out more and more pistils.. Within the next 5 days or so, there should be little clusters of pistils at each top.. I'm so excited to see what these girls do under the Optic SLIM 320H!!!.. Beast of a light! Bad ass genetics.. It doesn't get any better than that! Lol... End of week... I am seeing some leaf tips being burnt on the very top leaves (newest sprouts).. Which is understandable.. I have been really pushing these girls.. Really just wasting nutes.. But I am going to down the nutes a bit next week for sure.. Big changes will be made.. No more MYCO Plus.. No more FloraGro.. No more Armor Si (Silica).. Instead of 1400 - 1500 PPM, I think I want to get it down to 1000 - 1200 PPM. We are starting to dry out around here.. And I'm getting close to running out of rain water lol.. But filtering my tapwater should be ok.. Still got the power of the light at 50%... About 12 - 14 inches from the canopy.. For the most part lol.. About 750 μmols at the center and about 500 - 550 μmols at the far ends of the tent. Thinking I may go ahead and upgrade to a 6 inch exhaust system.. I like the Vivosun 6" fan (the black with red blades and adjustable speeds) along with the ducting and a carbon filter.. All for $79.. Not bad.. Anyways.. Next week we should see alot more pistils! On to the next!...

Día 11 de flora: Se realizan podas de hojas y brazos pequeños constantemente, también se realizaron varios dobleces a ramas largas, haciendo super topping en algunas, hoy se riega por primera vez con bud candy, lo que es biobizz, agrego 3-4 productos por riego. Se están formando pequeños cogollos, no se ven hojas con carencias ni excesos.

Esta por empezar el engorde final. Ya las flores estan casi formadas. La altura está al límite total. Uno o dos centímetros más y estaría en problemas de verdad. El engorde de muchas flores ya es notorio, pero creo que el uso de un bioestimulante que no es de primera línea, ha reducido el potencial de las plantas. De todos modos hasta no tener el resultado final no puedo afirmar nada. La solución de esta semana fue cargada con más pk booster para ver cómo funciona la linea de greenhouse en esta etapa. Suelo usar pk 13/15 de canna. Pero esta vez puse el que tenía. Seguiré actualizando. Día 31. Se nota mucho el engorde. Las hojas muestran pequeños signos de sobre fertilización, pero nada grave que no haya visto antes. Me suele pasar en esta semana en todos los cultivos en hidroponia. Pero las veces que ko me pasó, no tuve el engorde deseado. Por eso manejo mediciones de PPM superiores 1000. Se empieza a ver cuáles van a ser los cogollos más grandes, pero sigo con incertidumbre sobre cuanto más van a engordar. Estoy bastante conforme al momento. Hoy tuve contacto con plantas macho, pero me cambié toda la ropa antes de acercarme al indoor y le lavé. Además no sé si sumará, pero me rocío en alcohol cada vez que entro a casa, así que espero no tener problemas. Ya voy a ir preparando los esquejes para la próxima siembra. Quizá no logre sacar 10 de las madres que tengo. Pero quizá ponga menos y los haga crecer más tiempo y con bastante LST. Pero será en otro protecto. Por ahora espero que siga el engorde. Día 33. Ya el engorde es un hecho. Por el momento estoy bastante satisfecho. La solución se concentró demasiado así que tuve que agregar agua. Pero más allá de algunos signos de sobre fertilización mínimos y pasajeros en las hojas, la plantas se muestran saludables y firmes. Todavía sigo buscando la posibilidad de agregar overdrive la semana que viene. Todo está por verse. Ya puedo asegurar que va a haber una séptima semana de floración, sino debería empezar el lavado en 2 días, cosa que a la vista, sería muy apresurado. Así que seguiré esperando a ver las flores con los pistilos más secos. Entre tanto los tricomas ya están formados, pero recién van a empezar la maduración en unos días. No saco foto porque el celular no hace buen foco con la lupa, pero ya intentaré mas adelante. Día 35. Cierra la semana con una buena idea de lo que van a ser los cogollos. Según el calendario de la planta, debería empezar el lavado esta semana, ya que sería la última. Pero por la madurez de los tricomas, todavía le faltan entre 10 días y 2 semanas más. Así que se viene otra semana de sobrecarga de PK y voy a aumentar la dosis para aprovechar a medir el nivel de tolerancia de la planta a altos niveles producto. Al ser hidroponia y trabajar con el ambiente bastante controlado, confío en que voy a poder aplicar correctivos a tiempo, si empiezo a notar defasajes bruscos.

4/9/25 Welcome to another week. Week 5 since the flip of 12/12 just ended. So today is day 36 since 12/12. The begining of week 6. About halfway done with flowering. Time to start packing on weight. also its important to note that it took a week or so after 12/12 to have pistils show up. So its closer to 28 -30 days of Flowering. I have a foxtailing pheno thats mostly green with thin buds. I have a super chonker green pheno with ridiculously chunked up golfball sized nugs everywhere.(R3) I have a sativa style but thicker buds with nice long connected colas (R2) another smaller pheno with traits of some of the others and also green. and then a singlular pheno that looks gelato dominant and its purple pretty much everywhere to the point that i didnt notice its coloring until it was next to all of its sisters that are straight green. Very beautiful plants and a nice display of phenotypical expressions Top dressed 2tsp bloom 2tsp microbe charge 1tsp bloom booster A Special thank you to Zamnesia and

On day 1 I adjusted my reservoir to 6.0. I pulled down my mains with wire to spread out the plant wide and low. On day 2 I defoliated the plants, preformed their final topping, and adjusted the reservoir's PH to 5.8. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.0. I increased the flow of my Blumat by 1 carrot on the right plant to increase the moisture content of the medium. On day 4 I awoke to runoff on my plant on the right, so I backed of by half a carrot in hopes that will achieve the proper medium saturation. The reservoirs PH is 6.0. I insulated my reservoir to keep my water temps warmer being in a cold garage in the winter in the northeast ;) I applied some LST to my shoots off my mains. I used soft wire to pull down the shoots. On day 5 I reduced the blumat by another half carrot as the coco is still a little too wet. I will give it a couple days to stabilize before anymore adjustments. The leaves on my right side plant which was the one over watered have salt residue on the surface of the leaves and have some leaf tip curl. I believe as the plant grows out more roots it will adapt, but I have reduced the drippers flow for now and will see how the plant reacts. I adjusted my wires for my LST as the shoots have grown more. On day 6 I removed 2 large fan leaves blocking my shoots. The leaves are still clawing. On day 7 the reservoir is 6.0. The leaf clawing looks like it is improving and the plants seem to be growing at a faster pace now. I'm getting real close to flipping to flower.

Started flowering few days ago and has responded fantastic to some Low stress training on plant #1. Defoliated plant #2, another 3 fan leafs to let in more light and air, in which these were blocking. Day 27 they we're thirsty again, still only using half dose. 5 gallon pot took 2 litres 3 gallon pot took 1.5 liters. Will alternate feed-water-feed from now on. Using magic evolution foliage spray for the next few weeks. Made a mistake of using this when lights were on, slight nute burn on a few leaf tips, either from not using in low light or obviously to much nutes, either way pots Felt dry anyway on day 29 so flushed them for the first time with Just Ph'd 6 water. Just over 3 liters to plant #1 & 2 liters to plant #2. As you can see leafs are a darker shade of green, been feeding too much N. I Will be cutting out the grow from now on out and gonna half dose the bloom. Stems are slightly purple so will use more of cal-mag as possible lack of magnesium. Noticed the temp has been dropping few degrees less than what I like during lights out so contemplating changing light schedule to 24/0 so it doesn't drop below 20.either this or a fan heater. Day 32 pots felt dry so I fed only ph'd water again to help sort draw out the Nitrogen. Day 35 nute feed. In a nice routine pots feeling light every 2-3 days

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain and thunderstorms through the previous night and into the morning. We had sunshine for most of the afternoon. About 4 p.m we had severe thunderstorms and rain until about 6 p.m. There was very little hail and nothing was damaged. I went ahead and took the first node off to divert all the energy to the upper branches. Day 2 we had relief from the rain. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's and lots of sunshine. We have a few days of sunshine in the forecast 🙏. Day 3 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. Highs in the upper 70's and 49% humidity. We needed the dryness. 🙏. Day 4 we had clear skies and sunshine. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's. Day 5 we had partly cloudy skies and temps in the middle 70's. I added some potassium and they seem to be responding well. Day 6 we had temperatures in the low 70's. Sky's were cloudy and we had showers in the evening. Day 7 we had rain the previous night and intermittently throughout the day. Temperatures were in the low 70's with cloudy skies. This week was a success. One plant doubled in height and the other two nearly did. The topping produced two beautiful new branches with lots of side branches. These girls are getting bushy, developing a little smell, and will make some fine buds.
