2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol.
I added the following Nutes:
Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil
CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil
FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil
EPSOM- 1 big pinch
2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water.
2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled.
2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields..
2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water,
Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base.
I added 36 Gallons
I added the following Nutes:
Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil
FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil
FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil
FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water,
2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

Another cold wet week. Witnessed the spiderlings band together for a few days, web making at night. Then one day the wind picked up and they all disbanded, stretched out their silk and flew away all over my yard. It was such an incredible experience to watch! I should have an army of Orb weavers come flower time.
Did another top dress of compost mixed with 70/30 Gaia Green AP/PB, maybe 20Tbsp. When I pulled back the mulch I got to see all the soil creatures and roots consuming the material, this really does help build extra root zone over time.
Minor defoliating, I'm keeping nodes 1, removing 2 and final top at 3 (next week) to keep her spaced, then let her stretch and trellis. Should all help fill in the canopy.

She is going strong into flowering, lots of leaves fading fast, defoliated the far gone leaves but trying to keep stress to a minimum. Loving the purple colors she is putting out.

End of Week 2 05/01/2020
They are growing well.
Sweet Tooth #2 slowly beginning with LST. Continued...
Nutrients:
2ml fishmix and 2 ml bio heaven per 1l.
Now 400ml/plant per day and they get a shower a day ;-)
Lightpower:
20/4 Now you get full spectrum about 330watt (2xGC4 + 1xBAR).
Bloom lights for the corners, vertically, I will assemble next week.
Climate control:
In the box it's a tropical 27-28 degrees during the day. The relative humidity is approx. 68-70%
I water in the morning and use a humidifier, I also add a bowl of water with Co2 tabs.

Great week!!! What a resilient plant, a few different times now I鈥檝e come up with issues, I attempt to diagnose and compensate with my limited growing knowledge and the thing just keeps coming back better and healthier and stronger then before.
So far, I am very happy with this strain, Dresden Green Diamond from the Garden of Green seed company because it鈥檚 been so easy for a beginner like me and it鈥檚 going so well. Looks like they are either sold out or they discontinued the strain possibly I got them as freebies with my order on Seedsman but yea super happy with it.
So on to the meat and potatoes of this week. I realized the biggest issue that I have now is going to be controlling the heigh of the plant. It鈥檚 only a 4 foot tent. The pot takes at least a foot of height space away, the light is currently as high as the pulley system allows and is still hanging down a foot from the top. (I may have to end up just juryrigging a new attachment system for it to get more space. Also the plant is now about a foot tall and the light is 10 inches away. I鈥檝e heard that they can double or more in height during flowering which would be a problem.
So what to do? I topped it this week for the first time. Hoping that will redirect some of the plants energy into developing the lower branches, of which I have a healthy number. So I鈥檓 hoping they will catch up with the top of the plant and I just have a bunch of top sites. There are also 2 new top branches starting to grow from the top site. As soon as they are big enough I will bend them at a 90 degree angle to try and prevent it from going any taller than this point. I haven鈥檛 got around to it yet but I will begin LST this week as well to spread the branches out a bit and have them more horizontal to fill up more of my space.
Overall, things are going great.

have had some temperature problems with the change of the season but i think im dialed in now. this first run really has been trial and error. but so far the buds are swelling nicely.
zkittles has more bud sites, and is taller and bushier.
blue dream buds are already bigger than zkittles

GENERAL COMMENT.
This week ran nicely for the two girls, of course one is going slower than the other.
RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO
The spotting got this girl hard, lock lock lock and stunt. She is packing the buds slowly, very slowly, patience is a key element with her now. But the good thing is that she is moving forward. I don鈥檛 expect top shelf or a huge harvest for her unfortunately. I couldn鈥檛 ID the early spotting reason, and the late spotting i attributed to salt buildup and acidic medium, but the correction was a real pain.

starting to see some crowning. nice stretching going on. very happy with how it's all going (except for the wyze camera timelapse, which still stops working halfway through the week)
I do have some weird stuff going on with one plant, I'll post some pictures, if anyone has any advice. the only thing I can really find online that looks like this is tobacco mosaic disease, but I don't think it's that. maybe this one plant had a little extra stress or something. I have some of that mosaic looking pattern. it's showing up mostly on one plant, and like two leaves on one other plant. maybe calmag defiency? i guess it can kind of look like that, and my RO system was down for a week or two so I had to use tap water, and to keep EC consistent that meant less nutes for a week or two (that was taken up by the tap water EC of like 150).
anyway, super excited. wish i had more to do, but it's pretty much just riding it out at this point. was crazy busy with work this week, i wanted to have got in a good defoliation already but I will get to that this weekend. going to remove everything below a certain point, all the lower leaves and the lower nodes that aren't going to make it to the top. probably going to put a trellis net up as i don't think they are going to be able to support their own weight once they start to really stack. i may do one or two final foliar sprays, all organic stuff, but one last IPM and maybe one amino acid / coconut water / aloe / bloom boost after the defoliation, just to help them bounce back quickly as i'm going to be removing a lot of biomass. all that is organic and there are barely flowers on so i'm not worried about it.
getting such a strong lemon scent off these already, skunk is starting to come in. can't wait to get some real flowers on them and for the terps to develop.
i'm not going to judge yet, but i think if i was to run these again i wouldn't do quadline. quadline was super interesting to me when I first started growing, but after having a bunch of grows under my belt, really i think my preference is to mostly let them grow natural, maybe supercropping the main cola, but my favorite grows have been the ones i did the least amount of hard training on. not sure why i decided to quadline this run, but i'm happy with the even canopy so it's all good

This strain was a pain in the ass honestly. I will never grow bagseeds again, when real genetics are so cheap.
This plant hermmed so I have a metric fuckton of seeds that I have no idea what to do with.
But for a first grow, this plant was really good at letting me know when I was doing something wrong. My other runs suffered the same treatment, but their strong genetics didn't mind as much. But this plant, this plant bitched and moaned about everything. Its leaves faded like 2 weeks early. It had all these weird mutations. When she was a babe (Weeks 1-4), I literally thought that she died from how she didn't grow much at all. Every other plant I've popped since, has been a dream compared to this one. But now I know how to diagnose all these things. I feel like I got 10 grows worth of wisdom in one. So for that, I am thankful.
RIP Big Bertha. You may be gone but, with the amount of seeds you've given me, your lineage will never die.

Most lower leaves have now yellowed.
Pistils still white though.
Stinks!
Epic crops. Probably 10x more than I've ever managed before. Lord knows what I'll do with it all... ;-)
Hoping she's ready to harvest soon because the electricity bill is starting to hurt :-/

Im doing a bit of defoliation, moreover the leaves that covering the buds, i cut some small branches on the bot of the plants, to keep energy for the distal parts of the branches.
Every 2 day approximately, to no stress a lot the plants, I pinch the apex of MD1, MD2 and BB1, that my secondary branches go up, until the height of the apex central.
Nutriments :
2,0 mL/L of rhizotonic, 2,5 mL/L of cannazym every watering.
2,0 mL/L of terra vega every 2 or 3 watering in case of they need (N) until the final of the strecht (first 2 weeks of bloom).
I will put 5L every watering (pots of 18L) and I will analysed the drain of every plants to check pH and the fertilizer amount.
Im really proud of theses plants, they are strong, resistant (the trunks are huuuge, moreover the Moby dick from Dinafem) and so healthy !! The MD 3 has reacted really really good with the topping ! Im impressed and quite sure do topping next time ;)
I hope they will give me the best of themselves !!!! Lets wait the final of the strecht 馃槈

First week! What a joy!
This Banana Purple Punch is off to a great start, popping out of the soil with no shell on.
Spending 36hrs in water, 36hrs in a paper towel, then 48hrs under the soil before popping her head up into the light.
The light schedule I'm following is 20/4 under two 100w LEDs running around 80% at 650mm above the babies. They're receiving 150-200umol's at roughly 11-14 DLI.
Organic medium and nutes so just watering in around 200mL of dechlorinated water at 6.6 pH per day. I figured I want to get this medium nice and moist for the microbes to thrive so I've been bottom watering 200mL extra every other day, with a gap day today as the pots are nice and weighty now.
I'm running my ventilation on an hour on,
hour off schedule during Veg to take the pressure off my heaters and humidifier. (power bill) We're heading into winter and my grow is in an insulated lung room in my garage, so the fresh air can get down past 0 celcius and 30% humidity although the heaters keep the environment at 23-25 degrees celcius.
A few trials I'm working through, but the environment is pretty steady and I'm a happy gardener so far.
Welcome baby BPP 馃崒

Everything seems to be going well. The very first small&white inflorencences started to apear on all 5 plants.
