Plants are doing well. I'm going to top them soon. I tend to wait on topping to reduce stress, you never want to remove more that 1/3 of the plant( to each their own). I'll be FIMing the Sensi Star and Topping the Peyote. Pretty sure I stunted the White Widow from exposing it to the cold snap we had back in late February. I will top it and try and clone off the topping and see if that clone takes off. In my past I cloned plants outside in Mid June back in 2012 on 5 foot Agent Oranges, those clones caught up to the plants outside and eventually outperformed them, in less than two months. Never would have found that out if I didn't try. Happy growing everyone!

Double fucking grape completely impressed with this outcome leaving tomorrow to head outta state visit family. so I'll miss about 4 days. No worries. When I return just keep flushing down till harvest. She got about 2 more weeks or so cant wait to chop her :) smells so fucking good a super lemony diesel smell for sure. Outcome guestment dry weight around 5 zips and half its remind me of my sweet and sour phenotype

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Week 16 (Harvest) 1-2 Drying day 1 Temperature: 24.5 to 19.5 degrees Humidity: 65% to 50% The girls are ready to be harvested! Before chopping them down, i took a lot of pictures. I was able to remove most of the soil from the Biscotti #2 to see the rootball. I hang the plants as a whole to have a slow dry. The exhaust fan is on setting 4. 2-2 Drying day 2 Temperature: 19.1 to 17.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 57% I changed the exhaust fan to setting 2 because setting 4 was a bit high in my opinion. 3-2 Drying day 3 Temperature: 19.9 to 18 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% Today i checked up on the drying plants, and i see there are some buds touching other buds, so i chopped the plants in half. The buds are still to the main stem for a slow dry, but are hanging more spreaded out to prevent any budrot issues. I changed the exhaust fan to setting 1, as someone told me that it was enough air movement for drying. 4-2 Drying day 4 Temperature: 19.8 to 18.5 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% 5-2 Drying day 5 Temperature: 19.9 to 18.8 degrees Humidity: 62% to 59% Today i checked on the drying plants and the buds are shrinking a bit, they are getting a little bit crispy on the outside aswell, I hope they wont dry as fast, and i aim for a 12/14 day dry. For the next grow i already germinated 2x Chemdog (GreenHouseSeeds) 2x Gorilla Kush (GanjaFarmerSeeds) and 1x Deep Candy CBD (GreenHouseSeeds) And I have some upgrades planned aswell! I bought a autopot kit with 4 15L pots, this way the plants will have water and air 24/7 whenever they need it. I have seen alot of great results using autopots so i am very exited to try it out! And I bought a small camera so i can shoot some weekly timelapses! Feel free to Follow me if you like to get notified for the upcoming diaries! Thanks for checking out this diary, peace! (More harvest updates coming in the next couple of days!) Huge thank you to Zamnesia for the seeds, and Plagron for the collection of nutrients, and the opportunity to participate in the POWERBUDS contest! It was a fun and learningful adventure!

27/02/19 - This one is great, I popped the seed 24hrs after the gelato and this one seems to be developing its leaves a lot faster than the rest, so far really happy with DNA and with mills nutrients, it’s a lot easier to mix and I no longer have to use ph down because once all mixed it’s at a 5.8/5.9. 👌🏻 02/03/19 - Just transplanted all into their final pot, just in time I think as it looked like the roots were starting to circle at the bottoms of the pot, sprinkled half a tea spoon of Mykos on each hole prior to the transplant & fed them 2.5 litres each. I was going to saturate the whole pot but I’ll do that next feeding.

Hello guys, Here I am again to present you a new run, still with the best leds of the market nevertheless as I changed my growing space from 120x120 to 150x150. So I had to update the material inside... I will run with 3 EVO 5-150 lamps of 320W or 960W with Bluetooth dimmers. For the Hydro system, it will be the V-SYSTEM from Alienhydroponics. In fertilizers I am always with Advanced Nutrients. I work with osmosis water. Currently, 4 clones took on 4. Once the roots are ready, I will transfer the cuttings from the propagator to the V-SYSTEM. ------------------------ since the 16/08, when I transplanted the plants in the RDWC system, I noticed some points that I will mention below and correct next time. 1. The cuttings are too small, allow enough time so that I can completely fill my pots with clay balls. 2. Cut out the bottom of the pots from the cuttings. 3. 3/4 of the cuttings are touching the water, so one is late. Next time when transplanting, add more water, up to the basket in order to immerse all the plants and not to create a difference between each one, consequence now I have 3 that are ready to explode and one that will struggle behind, problem corrected today by increasing the volume of water. 4. The b-52 is a real pain in the ass in RDWC, you have to clean the 2 filters almost every day, with this new soup I'm testing without and I think I'll continue like this just with the base sensi grow A and B, as I use Root rot X, I won't use voodoo juice since all the bacteria would be killed. 5. Use of Voodoo Juice is useless if using Root Rot X which will kill the bacteria. I don't know why but when I transplanted in the RDWC, I put my set up in growth mode, except that the plants were not ready for it, moreover, I made a FIM on each. So I lost some days, these last days I went back to a ppdf of 150, now that my roots touch the water, I declare growth 0 on 22/08, I will do between 21 and 28 days of growth. And as my roots are doing well and touching the water I'll go to a PPFD of 300 ++

Day 36F This skunk is kicking OUT 😍 I love it, smells so damn good! Nostalgia of 90s back with a sweet skunk but pungent nostril pinching aroma 👌 Buds forming amazing in my opinion concidering the abuse she has taken and sharing 3gal pot. Still just alternating feed/water and there happy 💚 Day39F - skunk is absolutely thriving, swelling and increasing her blanket of thc all over, and the colours are of a golden orange and green 😍

8.3.25: I watered today. This time, I left out the Nitrogen as the plants don't need it right now. I watered each plant between 2 and 4 litres. I used dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients per 2ltr; ♡ 4ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A by Greenleaf Nutrients 9.3.25: The plants are still very thirsty, so I topped them up with 1-2ltrs per plant. I have cut out the Nitrogen for now as it is unnecessary. I am using Bloom nutrients only. Per 2ltrs contains; ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Bud explosion PK booster Both by Greenleaf nutrients. 10.3.25: I have moved Bubble Kush into the back left corner, as she is a bit unhappy with the full lighting intensity. I moved Do-sì-dos into the middle of the tent as she is looking phenomenal 😍 the buds are most certainly stacking up to be huge! she will certainly be good with the higher intensity lighting. I can't say enough about her, very pleased with this plant! 12.3.25: Bubble Kush is looking much better and greener after I moved her into the corner away from the intense light in the middle of the tent. Getting about 3ltrs per day, just using Mega Crop Part A and Bud Explosion by Greenleaf nutrients. 14.3.25: The plants have switched to full bloom nutes, the only NPK 4-0-0 with the Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. Then Greenleaf nutrients Bud Explosion PK booster. I'm using double strength Cal-Mag as the petioles and stems of some leaves are going purple. I need to get some more. I've used nearly a whole 250ml this grow alone! I have been supplementing with Black Strap Molasses and will be feeding Bubble Kush 🧡 Do-sì-dos 💚 I'll double check the rest of the plants and maybe give them a little bit. The Purple Lemonade 💜 and Pink Mist are just really stacking on weight now, bulking up. Do-sì-dos 💚 has absolutely unbelievable density and size. Watermelon 🍉 is finishing the lower bud sites as they were behind the others. I will keep for 1 more week in my estimation. Gorilla 🦍 Cookies is looking good, definitely cutting the Nitrogen out on her as she's got an overabundance currently. Luckily, all my plants are at the same stage now relatively speaking, so I don't have to mix up separate mixtures for each plant just now. Which is a blessing 🙌 Plant nutrients used per 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Bud explosion PK booster ♡ 8ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids. I water approximately between 2-4ltts per plant 3 times a week. No schedule, honestly. I'll judge it on the weight of pots and feel the top soil. Thanks for checking in

Diese Woche wurde low stress Training bei der runtz gemacht. Die Purple Punch hat Probleme im Wachstum, leider kann ich mir das nicht erklären. Die Runtz bekommt schon erste anzeichen einer mangelversorgung da sie bereits buds produziert und die anderen pflanzen noch nicht, wahrscheinlich stress bedingt.. Ja sonst bleibt nicht viel zu sagen, ich habe meine probleme mit der Luftfeuchtigkeit in den Griff bekommen und habe derzeit nurnoch probleme mit der Temperatur Nachts. Nächste woche werde ich den lichtzyklus wahrscheinlich auf 12-12 stellen und damit die Veg. Phase beenden und in Flower gehen. Peace out ✌️
