How does a 4:1 stock suddenly become a perfect 1:1 PK nutrient? In this video I break it down the simple growmie way — no complicated math, no chemistry degree, just real-world logic using Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) and 59% phosphoric acid. I’m using a basic KOH stock of 100g per 1 liter of water, because it dissolves perfectly, stays liquid, and makes the whole PK process easy to control. One liquid is strong, one is weak — and once you understand that, the 4:1 vs 1:1 confusion disappears instantly. This is the simple reason why: 4 parts KOH stock + 1 part phosphoric acid = 1:1 PK If you’re into DIY nutrients, KOH extractions, or you just want to understand PK ratios in a way that actually makes sense, this video is for you. Part 2 will cover how to create any PK ratio you want the easy way — without formulas or overthinking. We grow together, growmies 🌱🔥 --- Safety Disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only.

Day 114 the northern lights is blooming I increase the lighting 10 hours but gave it a bunch of nutrients. Probably gonna flush, I don’t really know, plants been taking a lil bit of time now *update I have some of the sugar leaves and some fan tips looking burnt not terrible but also I used to spray water but with all the fans, my the moisture dries in the leaves leaving a white water stain almost, so I stopped that and the tips had at one point produce a white ball ish thing at the end of the fan leaves I hope someone may have dealt with something like this if not it ain’t to bad I don’t thing

This is where I really started to take a lot more pictures! Everything was coming along great, I had some slight nutrient lockout starting this week but I took care of it quickly! They respond very well to the training.

The Grape Candy smell on this plant is insane! the amount of resin production is also very good. VPD around 1.4–1.6 The light hits the plants with around 900 PPFD.

14.10.24 VD# 29 Moin ✌️ da sind wir wieder 🙂 Neue Woche neues Glück 🍀 die Mendocino Skunk macht sich prächtig. Habe gestern alle Ihre Triebe getoppt somit kommen noch mehr Triebe die später die dicken Buds halten. Heute gab es wieder lecker Futter von Hesi somit hat sie die nächsten 4 Tage erst mal was. Dann gibt es wieder eine Ladung Ph angeglichenes Wasser somit beugen wir gerade in diesen Stadium eine über Düngung vor. Danke für den Stop und bleibt alle geschmeidig & Stay High Das nächste Update kommt wie gehabt nächste Woche zur selben Zeit. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen ✌️ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 14.10.24 VD# 29 Moin ✌️ here we are again 🙂 New week, new luck 🍀 The Mendocino Skunk is doing great. I topped all her shoots yesterday so there will be even more shoots to hold the thick buds later. Today there was delicious food from Hesi again so she'll have something for the next 4 days. Then there will be another load of pH-adjusted water so that we can prevent over-fertilization at this stage. Thanks for the stop and everyone stay smooth & stay high The next update will come as usual next week at the same time. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff ✌️

Seen explosive growth is week 3. Plant more than doubled in size, and reached 5 nodes. We topped her this week! (Video added!). Still zero nutrients but it won't be long! Plant is loving the T5 HO lighting! So far, so good, very strong looking grow, no troubles here! Topped at 20 days from seed.

Bubatz is growing well, she is now starting to make pre-flowers, i can see some small pistels coming up..(i have given her 'flower'nutes yesterday) But weather is still very unstable and now she is standing in their safehouse, to stay dry and comfy.. weather is gonna get better end of this week, they say, lets just hope for some sunshine now and then... 😇 But as you can see, she grows strong and doesnt seem to care Its feels so nice in the safehouse when it rains.. 😎👌 i just want to 'set up shop' there when i visit them.. oh wait a moment!! I already have !!...😜👍 happy growing for all✊ *** KISS! Growtechnique: KeepItSimple, Stupid! PS i also sprayed her with a mix of neemoil (8ml) , detergent(2'squeezes) and luke warm water. last week.bc there are a lot of parasites running/flying/crawling around..

All going extremely well. Not a single sign of any problems. Plants getting heavy and needed some staking should be ready in 7 days or so. Growroom 25.4.23 Started flush Outdoor Pineapple chunk got an aphid infection that was not there two days ago so chopped down on Friday 28.4.28. She was at the begining of harvest window and ready but wanted to hold out till indoor had finished. She’s in a 2x2 drying

Happy new year! Hope 2023 will bring us peace and prosperity! Week 5 is all about growth. Im amazed by Mimosa’s pace. Every morning I’m opening the tent to a bigger stronger plant. Had issues with much higher PH in runoff compared to input (6.5 vs 5.8) and thanks to Roberts and GrowingGrannie i came to solving the issue by increasing the EC. FYI - in coco coir: higher PH in runoff means girls are hungry and need to be fed. Lower PH - overfeeding. Learning everyday! Today (day 35) started seeing a little bit of yellow tips on top so reduced the ec to 1.75 and gave the 4 liter each with 25% runoff. I’m running out of space for mimosa, i was not expecting her to grow so much. Need to consider a 100*100 tent and a bigger light of course. But prolly will keep the existing setup and just stick to growing 1-2 plants at a time i/o 4 right now. Mimosa is preparing for flowering, started giving her Canna Boost and seeing white hairs all over, she confirmed she is a lady :) Cookies is a little behind in height but i believe she’ll catch up. Mr wolf now has a swing and can chill in the shade. Week 6 will start watering every day. Thanks you, growmies, for being the best community in the world. Love you! Peace. Ps How to get the diary in “recommended” Its seems that my first diary was exposed much more. Just curious how the algorithm works.

Como podemos ver ya todas están para el corte o casi, en algunas tendré que seleccionar el pheno, ya que hay alguna que me gusto más que la otra, en general un terpeno muy diferente en cada variedad y también la calidad de la resina, en general mucha resina, pero por ejemplo he podido observas que los tricomas de la Gorilla Melon son más grandes y se oxidan de una manera más lenta, ideal para hacer extracciones, en cambio, la Reinbow Melon .... ese terpeno dulce intenso tanto que es hasta abrumador...me muero de ganas ya de probarla... la Lemon Mandarín es exagerado el olor que tiene a mandarina si cierras los ojos y ueles fuere parece que te vayas a comer una buena mandarina y la Paya Sherbet tiene un olor dulce y muy agradable, pero nada que aún pueda relacionad del todo..... un saludo y buenos humos fam.

The plant is getting used to the new led. Some leaves are making wired turn but the pistils are lokimg great and I don't think the plant is suffering from change of light, but much rather love it!!

I have fed these girls once I started seeing some growth with advance nutrients and some recharge tea.They are thriving and doing well with the light on the ceiling running at 30 percent power.

Added Universol Yellow (High P) and Calcinit 1:1 to increase EC and root growth, no ml values, used the fertilizer to reach stated EC values. In addition to KMPS I added POLY(DIMETHYLAMINE-CO-EPICHLOROHYDRIN) in a very small dosage to the tank, this helps to keep the ORP stable high, did that on the last day of week 3 so results will be visible next week but it already did and the last hours of week 3. Plant is growing vigirously but still spinning, did top her and LST + defoliation, lets see if she continues to spin, will wait a little longer to tie more down. Values are average of the day.

Al principio de la semana se subió la luz a 70 cm aproz de la planta, reduciendo la potencia al 50%. Se regó a cada una de manera foliar con Alg-a-mic de biobizz para regularizar la deficencia de nitrógeno. A mitad de semana se regó con 3 ml x litro de biobizz a c/u. Cada planta consume aproximadamente 1.6 lt. Al final de la semana se cambio el ciclo a 12/12 y los resultados como se puede ver en el video. Gracias a todos x sus posteos....

Very easy plant to harvest, didn't have too much leaves, so very easy to take out fan leaves and prepare to dry.

Week 8 started okay, after lots of defoliation, I think light penetrates a bit more lower parts, flowers now started to turn into longer bud sites, looks nice. Hard to notice issues with plants, because most of the bigger leaves are removed, and usually leaves are the first ones to show issues I guess. Also plant no 1 has grown lots of stems past lightning :D Its growing strong. Still are a bit behind with flowering than other 2 plants. But overall all plant buds look amazing! Still adding flowering nutriens, perhaps I should stop at end of week to flush it? Seems like harvest could be in next two weeks, I'd say 10 days, but i have no idea. Mid-week I removed plants first time from grow box, did lots of defoliation, and moved light to very top of box, took them back inside, now lightning is very good and space issue kinda solved, plant no 1 had grown very tall and already had burnt top buds, had to do something. few lessons learned.

All good

7 weeks now she’s a real beauty this lemon, plenty of bud sites on her now as she’s just coming into flowering now think this one might be a late bloomer!! Hope you enjoy the pics 🍋🏝️Just had my ACL reattached so might struggle to keep up with my diaries 😪🤞

Welcome to my MilkyWay F1 Auto Diary, Untopped VS topped. Results are in. Days 71-82 ripening 0-13 week 11&12 Went well. She did bulk up a tad. But not much. They spent most their lives under a 100w. But, the bud is really dense all over. No larf, at all. Its a really good quality of bud I'm getting from both phenos. As far as ToppedVsUntopped well, that result is in. With a seeds used from the same pack (same parent) making true F1s as they need to be from the same batch. It why we all got different phenos, and those who ran more than 1, from their seeds, the phenos are very close. One of mine had more of a fade and looks more purple. Both smell very lovely & fruity. Nice trichome production with very dense but, rather small buds if I do say so. But the grade itself is very high. (As grade is not rated on size) overall both turned out very similar. Even fade wise, they've both developed a lovely colour finishing under high co2 environment with the SE5000 really has brought out a lot of fade i normally do not get. look at the start. It was only a few days under this light and the past 14 days they've both popped. I will also say. A lot of their life was spent under a 12-12 (3/5s of flowering). Topped VS Untopped pheno 2 & 1 Are very similar as I've stated this area will be filt in with harvest comments. Bud smell. How the dry went. And after a weeks cure. I'll rate it. So watch this space. These 2 phenos have been on just water for 10 days. I did a quick run off test. Got back 145ppm my tap is 110. So, they're good to go. Trichome wise. 95% cloudy 30-35% amber. (Hard to see, I'll try get pics with my scope) but, as you see. Both are fully ripened. Anymore and its just bud deg. Both plants leaves are showing end of life. Some are dying. (I'VE BEEN WATCHING THESE LEAVES AND SEEN THEY'VE BEEN DEAINED, ITS NOT BR) Lights The SE5000 was used for the Ripening phase. With high temps and co2 i pushed my boundaries and got a lovely fade reaction from doing so. How I know its down to this light as I've put my Runtz under it. And as soon as I did. It developed fade. My Frosted G even started getting light purple on its sides. The temp in tent has been pushed to 31-33c (that's not leaf temp as I've fans blowing on my plants, and that lowers surface temps by a few degrees.) They've been on 17hrs of high powered light. At 25-30cm id no choice. My temps are mad high this time of year. Harvested Both plants are been pult they're getting their last few hrs. You'll then see the last few pics in a few hrs. I'll get bud shots later, smoke reviews and then to be fair. I'll then mark it by the GD rating system. As I do with all my strains. (So I've 2-3 wk delay in my diaries as they're Harvested, mostly) both plants I'll try push them as far as I can through the drying process whole. But, as I'm dealing with high temps. Lower RH and a fastercl dry is pref to a longer dry in hot conditions might not make sense, but 30+ hot weather harvests, I've got this down. Mind you only this round all my other hot harvests some took a few weeks to rid the hay smell. This avoids it and locks in potency. Most of the drying is done by leaving the plant in the substrate just before the plant goes for itself for fluids. 4-5 day dry as opposed to 5-6 day dry with weed that loses half its stenght. (dry harvesting look it up) Thanks to James from RQS, although I know everyone and their sister got the offer for these seeds I am defo going to be trying more from RQS, if it's buying. I'll get round to it, and depending on the quality of smoke it might be soon. If its a real nice auto, I'd love to try a fem of theirs for my winter crop in October. But, that'll depend. I've lots I want to buy & try.. and when favs are found. I'll invest. I would like to thank everybody for the activity this diary has gotten. Its possibly one of my most active diaries I've done without a harvest. And that's in no short means down to all the views and likes from you guys. And for sure I will fully complete it, with results on the smoke Quality from both phenos, if it varies, but, results thus far, structure wise they're shockingly similar. Scary so. Topping has very little affect to the structure. She grew a main cola. But both phenos, turned puples I will say the topped one was a more troublesome plant. Maybe that had a role onin its morphology. And maybe it'll affect the bud also. The topped was more demanding nutrient wise, and drank more. Maybe to support a more even bud load. (I've yet to do a through inspection, but on the VS front, it's kinda in the air about quality, structure wise, it had very little difference. Look for yourself at the heights are 3-4cm dif) lots still to come. And I'll update it soon with more results. Again, thanks so much for the support, likes, comments and how active it is, an unfinished diary moving to my home page. 1st for me. So thank you. Also to my light sponsors who played a part in this grow. Although both phenos owe their bud quality to 2 x 100 watts SF-1000 (SE5000 was used for ripening lovely fade) and I used a P1000, they shared even light distribution in the end for the most part. So, thanks to Bella for the upgrade. I'm sure when I run an RQS strain again, this time I'll know only have the fade to show, but the bud size too. Thanks again my Friends. Updates pending as of 6th June. Edit June 7th Both plants are hung whole and drying 24hrs. I don't like how fast they're moving. The buds are already soft. Should still be hard at this stage only 30hrs in. They'll harden up in the cure no doubt. Let's just hope they don't shrink too much. Will give daily updates
