Decided to start dark period(24-48hrs) day 85 mostly milky not much amber maybe some amber on the sugar leaves. I wanted to go 90+days with this auto but I needed the space in the tent for my photos and she looks almost ready, would’ve liked to see a little more amber but nevertheless I haven’t grown much at all so don’t have too much preference yet on trichomes. I’ll chop in a day or two and dry in my smaller tent and hopefully it goes well, my first harvest I dried too fast in low humidity and wasn’t that pleased with the end result. This time I’m planning on lowering exhaust speed and to not be so scared of 50+humidity in drying area and raise it to around 60humidity after a few days. Can’t think of anything else to write, but I’ll update after the chop and dry and 🙏 hopefully all goes well.

I kept a close eye on defoliation. But it isn't easy now. Hopefully, she gets a huge collar.

Completed 1st week of flower and did a major defoliation a couple days ago, but you can't tell anymore. Growth is picking up as a few heads already popped through top screen. Also upgraded my exhaust fans to the AC Infinity w/ Humidity Controller. Wow, what a big difference!

Today I've started them on Advanced Nutrients Overdrive as the girls have just started to turn orange, They smell awesome, still not the biggest of buds but they're frosty. EC is at 1.4 now I'm pretty high writing this and really cant think of anything else to say 😛 other than see what happens when overdrive has done its job in a couple of weeks 👌

Step by step: 1- let 100ml of water rest for 12 hours 2- Add the seeds and leave for another 12 hours. 3- Using a clean object, push the seeds down. Leave for about 48 more hours. 4- After that, place it in a jar with paper towels and leave it for another 24 hours. 5- Use jiffy cells for another 48 hours until the first leaves open. 6- finally I remove the screen from the jiffy cell and place it in the final vessel.

A new light has been added to the tent. I noticed a bit of a droop for several hours after adding it. After 4 hours they started picking up again. They are quite healthy and seem to be very happy. PH Is around 6.0. It just seems easier to keep it around 6.0. The PH seems to rise to 6 a day after correcting it down to 5.7 so I gave up. PPM is around 1000 and cal mag is being added to help them cope with the higher light intensity during flower. Pk13/14 has been added in a very small amount and a slightly higher does will be used in the next week. Please feel free to comment if you have any info that may help :) please take time to like as it helps me know if this is worthwhile updating. Microgrowery

La planta le encantó la nueva luz y empezó estirarse demasiado tanto que para controlar su altura apliqué una poda apical la cual respondió muy bien y empezo a sacar 2 puntas principales

She has made it to day 35😍 I was away for most of the week. When I got back I did some more lst and took a couple leaves off. If I didn't stretch her out the plant would have been huge. The plant is also starting to flower now. 😍

Day 21: I still have my garden on a 6-2 light schedule and my two plants that i stunted do to overwatering are slowly making a come back. I am going to keep them as i am a optimistic person so im hoping for the best but to say the least it will help me learn how to deal with different problems as they arise and teach me how to manage a garden this size. I only low stress trained for 1 day which was the day that i took the pictures a few days ago. I didnt feel confident when i started it mostly because of the size and felt like i was starting the process to late. If its not to late feel free to let me know and ill try to start it again, other than that as always feel free to drop some tips and happy growing. I also added a video at the top for quick viewing. 😀

Day 127 - Watered/fed today. About 180 oz of water given, with 1/2 tsp Bloom, 1/2 tsp Mag Pro per gallon. It is anticipated that this is the last feed, and will be given water only, the next 2-3 feeds before harvest, to flush/fade the girl (come on autumn colors!). I happened to be searching a couple buds and found my first 3 amber trichs on a calyx. The final countdown has begun! Day 128 - Nothing to note, I was lucky to be around enough to get the photo. Day 129 - I feel like there has been some new calyx development over the last few days, but I am still going with my plan to flush 2-3 times before a harvest. I feel like if I was properly set up, and honestly stocked with current flower, I could probably let this thing go another 3 weeks (rookie grower thoughts), but I am still looking to harvest in 10-12 days. Talking to a few different people, ran a few ideas past me, but I think I am going with my plan for this first grow. Someone mentioned one more big bloom feed before a flush, but I think I'm just ready to be done feeding. The idea of 24 hours of darkness before harvest to 'boost trichs' was brought to me by another person, and I am still unsure of my thoughts on that plan. Day 130 - The 'flush' has begun. Today the plant was given 2 gallons of water, which is almost 50% more than was given with feed, as she had been getting 180oz or so of water. You can really tell the difference in the amount of runoff! Lets see how long she takes to really show a fade. Day 131 - I got nothing for today. Snapped a pic and bolted out of the house. Day 132 - Again, sadly, I got nothing for today. A picture and out the door. Day 133 - 11 weeks of flower are down. She was watered today, with another 2 gallons of water only. I added a small amount of new Mother Earth Coco Peat to the pot, in my mind, just to ensure that she doesn't fade out too quickly. Probably a bit unnecessary and may not help, but I did it anyways :) I originally planned on chopping likely at the end of this weekend, but I might see if she can hold out 2 more water only feeds, and chop next Thurday-Friday, at the end of the 12th week. I keep checking a few buds with the loupe, and still can barely find any amber, but also don't see any clear trichs. Either way, I am going to be anxious for this last week to finish up, then the real test of waiting will come, hanging and curing!

Florganics is a living soil starting fertiliser the earth is this time plagron light mix the lamp is at the start at 25 watts and 20cm above canopy i will start to remove water from the system by placeing a spongecloth on the waterslide i think the earth is a bit on the wet side Also want to add nutrients at some point and fresh nematodes to make sure i dont get the damn flies again i move the controller to the other side to make sure the sensor for temp and humidity is close to the plants I had to change the soil mid week as it was too hot. It was made from last year's FLO Florganics and too bad... It switched to biotabs NL And put ZK 1 and ZK 2 in the fridgegrow system. I removed ZK 3... WHATEVER FLO Florganics is actually a great product and as soon as it is available again we will use it again... There was trouble with the factory and Flo learnt a lot. Now the fertilizer gets tested in and independent lab.... END of week all looks great the plants are growing the one that had too many nutirents for a while is now ... bigger of course

Englisch: We have now reached week 2 and the ladies have tolerated the early repotting a little worse than expected. But they recovered from the shock. All 3 biscotti plants are now growing wonderfully and look great so far. With the Gelatos, 1-3 are very uniform and growing well, but 4 and 5 are lagging behind. Time will tell if all 5 will make it to flowering. The two Cookies x Key Lime Pie are unfortunately also a little slower growing than the Biscotti and Gelato 1-3, but I'm so interested in the strain that I'm keeping both plants. Now we come to Herz OG, the strain I was most looking forward to. Heart OG 1 is growing relatively OK, but is clearly lagging behind the Bisottis and Gelatos. Heart OG 2 is growing quite slowly so far. Even slower than number 1. It also shows a mutation on the first pair of leaves. Let's see how it develops... The fertilizer has also been added since the beginning of week 2. Here I use the Athena Blended Line and stick to their feed schedules and the hand watering strategy. Deutsch: Nun sind wir in Woche 2 angekommen und die Ladies haben das frühe Umtopfen doch etwas schlechter vertragen, als gedacht. Aber so langsam erholen sie sich von dem Schock. Alle 3 Biscotti Pflanzen wachsen wunderbar und sehen bisher toll aus. Bei den Gelatos sind 1-3 sehr einheitlich und wachsen gut, jedoch hängen 4 und 5 hinterher. Es wird sich zeigen, ob alle 5 es bis in die Blüte bringen werden. Die beiden Cookies x Key Lime Pie sind leider auch etwas langsamer im Wachstum, als die Biscotti und Gelato 1-3. Der Strain interessiert mich jedoch so sehr, dass ich beide Pflanzen behalte. Nun kommen wir zum Herz OG, die Sorte auf die ich mich am meisten gefreut habe. Herz OG 1 wächst relativ OK, hängt jedoch klar hinter den Bisottis und Gelatos hinterher. Herz OG 2 wächst bisher recht langsam. Noch langsamer als Nummer 1. Sie zeigt außerdem eine Mutation am ersten Blattpaar. Mal schauen wie sie sich entwickelt... Außerdem wurde seit Beginn der Woche 2 der Dünger mit eingebracht. Hier verwende ich die Athena Blended Line und halte mich dabei an deren Feed Schedules sowie die hand watering strategy.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-21 The 2 sisters are doing great, Nr2 is a bit after Nr1 . Some new pics. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-23. Transplanted from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. 4 new pics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil.

And humidity is 56%. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and a movie.

Really starting to fill out now. By the end of the week should be quite fat. leaves are kind of yellow, assume they are sucking the nutrients into the bud. A little as it's cold here and the room the tent is in gets down to 15-16c at night. The air is also dry af This is great, cannabis loves lower humidity and a good 10 degree difference in day/night temps in flowering.
