The little giant was probably fine . . . __ Sun Mar 10, 2024 IRIE1Q24 33:V:4:5  KEY Problems were the back flow protector on the Little Giant that reduced flow 1PSI, and flow restrictor on Xeribird8 for 10x the pressure of our little system. We’re lucky to have a couple of PSI at the emitters. That said - we produced ~1.5 gallons of runoff yesterday. To maintain runoff (but less than 1 GAL!), I’ve HALVED delivery times. Goal is to reduce runoff to ~10% of estimated delivery … Current Fertigation Run: 5 min Duration, 4 times in 11 hours.   We’ll FLIP on Week Change - give a couple of days for root development, some more height. We need to - [ ] Would like to grow to middle bar of tent BEFORE topping. - [ ] VERIFY ROOT POPULATION AT BOTTOM OF CONTAINERS BEFORE FLIP. (If we’re well populated, we’ll rock - delay FLIP UNTIL All containers need to demonstrate significant root development around periphery of the bottom of each airpot. __ Mon Mar 11, 2024 IRIE1Q24 34:V:4:6 - [ ] Rooted Leaf Foliar: Solar Rain: [ 20, ml, gal], Silica Skin: [ 20, ml, gal]  __ Tue Mar 12, 2024 IRIE1Q24 35:V:4:7 Runoff: [ 700, ml], [ 1.0, mS] During Dark - Flushed RLA CalMag Fuel, ~ 450 ml/plant @ EC: 1.8 mS - I’m not convinced I properly buffered the coco.

Semana #2 La catástrofe. Al llegar a mi casa, encuentro este triste escenario.No cerré bien una de las entradas del indoor y una de mis gatas entraron. Murieron tres plantas.Dos Auto Brooklyn Sunrise y una Xtrem Haze. Sentía que este cultivo tenia que ser desechado por todos los problemas iniciales, pero decidí continuar para ver que tanto pueden aguantar las plantas y por la inversion en estas semillas. Las sovrevivientes se veian un poco torcidas, pero veremos que tal siguen. Por todo esto, a las sobrevivientes (3 Auto Mazar y 2 Xtrem) no les haré ningún tipo de técnica y trataré de abonar con lo mínimo un par de semanas.

F week 3. It gets really bushy. I had to do a second defoliation. At this point everything seems to go well.

Another good week for this lady. Temps were high, but she handled it like a champ. Because she is so beastly and only in a 4 gallon pot, I’m watering about 1 gallon of water every 3 1/2 days. The dry back seems to be better if I don’t wait till the 4 th day. Buds are developing nicely, and stacking really well. I’m going to have some decent sized colas. Frost is coming along nicely too. She has a Kush smell with some sandalwood at the moment… Temps were floating around 82 degrees this week, with RH around 55-58%. Plucked a few more fan leaves, but otherwise just a slight turn each time I check on the tent. Happy Gardening

Day 24 F under MARSHYDRO TSW-2000 And things are getting to that point were theres not much to do besides giving them love and attention, i like what i see , for the majority of the canopy, i believe the corners are losing the run wen compared with the center , but still the flower development is going great, lets keep monitoring and see how it goes , for now at center canopy i have 1400 Ppfd the edges at 700 and the corners at 450 , this will eventually result in denser and bigger flowers were the number are higher, but lets time dictate what is what and how it goes, for now I’m loving everything, but starting. To think this TSW2000 wold feet better on a 3x3 or a 3,5x3,5 than a 4x4. Don’t miss judged me, its great light and my girls are loving it , im just use to bigger light on a 4x4 space.

Begging of week.. She is happy and healthy asf.. Pistils are poppin out everywhere.. Leaves are looking a little burnt on the tips.. But some of the older leaves are lime green.. Almost like they want to begin yellowing or something.. Other than that.. No issues.. My supercropped branch has healed nicely.. Turning into a nice knuckle lol.... Mid week.. I just barely noticed that ALL the leaves have a mutation that has double serrated leaves.. You can see what it looks like in the pics. This is the first time I've ever seen it in person.. Kinda pretty really.. Ive read about it before.. Nothing to be worried about.. Just cosmetic, I guess.

I harvested the plant in week 9. I put her in dark room for 3 days before harvesting. I didnt flush her, just let the soil dry out. I gave the buds 3 washes in water and one wash with water with lemon juice.

🌿 Woche 5 – Start in die Blüte. Ab dieser Woche wird’s spannend – die Mädels starten offiziell in die Blütephase. Das Licht steht jetzt auf 12/12. Die Girl Scout Cookies wurde von 44 cm auf 39 cm getoppt, damit sie ungefähr die gleiche Höhe wie die Gorilla Skittlez hat. Wir hoffen auf eine schöne und entspannte Blütephase. Updates folgen natürlich.

This plant was a dream to grow, wish I'd taken cuts. Halfway through dry at 7 days. Drying at 55 - 60 % RH and 17 - 19 degrees C. I anticipate she'll be done between 10 - 14 days total dry time and I'll then trim and update weights on this Harvest. 133.75g total after trim. She's a nice smoke, very happy.

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

Using a Rhaspberry Pi 4 to automate the watering and a TP-link 105 smart plug to automate the Viparspectra P2000 LED grow light. You can see how I automated it here: https://hackaday.io/project/188129-rhaspberry-pi4-basic-watering-system-for-balcony Basically, this is an "Automated Watering how-to Guide for Dummies" - as simple as technically possible. You still require some basic command line expertise, but the steps have been proven and I provide links to the gear I used AND the Node Red code, making this EASIER than anything else I've seen online. Harvesting soon.

Welcome to my Slurircane Diary sponsored by MSNL & SPIDER-FARMER Sponsored with their SE5000. Veg Days 26-32 Days 36-45 Plant is pushing along well. Good solid growth. Done lots of the last toppings this week. No need to defoliation or LST at this point. Her shape really is perfect. And, I know by know when a plant needs LST. Maybe I'll bend the nodes out lightly after I uppot this wk to an 11L Lights. SE5000 was used and supplied by Spider-Farmer for most of this grow. (Thank you Bella) and for early veg. The SF-1000 was used. So, all SF baby. Great lights. Forgot how much faster this spectrum pushes the plants along. Co2 850-1300ppm. Growth is good. Healthy. Need to be on the ball with this co2 growing. Shit happens so fast. A very light mag def one hr and 4hrs later its full on. Crazy fast for the autos. Haven't been keeping up required co2 levels. And sadly. I pushed this thing into pre flower (how Idk) but, the DLI was been reached. And she was shutting herself down. This is her last through week of veg. I've tried revegging her the the last 2 weeks. But, nothing is happening. She's good. Really nice long nodes. And she'll be a great plant. (I'm 2 weeks ahead, weeks will be updated more frequently)

Welcome to the start of week 3. Plants are officially 2 weeks since sowed. Have a small PH issue. It is a bit high. Will be watering with a lower PH next water. Decided to remove the runt of the batch. I think 5 plants would have been too many for my grow space. Other than that plants look healthy and are growing nicely.
