Reducing humidity in night time below 50% , humidifier rise temperature to 22-23c at night
Day RH is 53%, in first two hours keeping temps and humidity lower to reduce deferential form night time to 1-2c
Don't want to have more than 10-15cm off stretch in next week
Girls drink more water and nutrients every day, think around 10-12l per day
Managing EC strength with adding slightly higher nutrients solution when top up tank. Overall its around 0.9-1.0EC for most of the time
PH is stabile , slowly rise in small increments. Need to adjust @ 6.2 to 5.9 every two-three days. Probably i will leave it to swing even more.
Diablo is at 80% power @ 45-55cm from top canopy, 900+PPFD in center, lowest corners get 650+

Last run of the growing season. Biscotti Mintz by Barney's Farm. I wasn't satisfied with the last crop's yield so i wanted another crack at it. This time I'm armed with a digital Lux meter so i can better dial in the light without the guesswork. Looking to start the clones off with between 5000 and 7000 LUX at the canopy. But i didn't like the brightness at 8000 so i upped it to 15,000 Lux. I think the 5k to 8k Lux recommendations for clones was for clones in the process of rooting. Recommended Lux values for vegging plants is between 15,000 and 50,000 Lux. They were very lanky with long internodal spacing which I thought might be insufficient lighting. Because the other Biscotti Mintz grows and research i've done, shows a very bushy indica trait growth pattern. So either i have a shitty pheno, or my lighting wasn't good enough. I'm guessing it was the light because preliminary testing with the Lux meter showed that my canopy was quite under lit last run.
Again using 3 gallon pots, this time i am crossing my fingers with the substrate because it is reused coco that i washed and buffered myself. I've never done this before so i have no idea what's going to happen. For all i know they will all be dead in a few days lol.
Anyways, i tested the coco pH last night, and after buffering with 2x strength calmag and soaking the coco in a 6.0 pH for 48 hours, the pH is sitting around 6.8 in the coco. Not where I wanted it, but it's doable. I believe the coco brand new out of the bag measures at 6.8 so...
I will be watering in 6.0 pH to try to achieve a balance. Treating the roots before planting with Azos and dusting the planting hole with Mykos.
The nutrient solution is very mild to start off. About 450ppm.
Hygrozyme will be added to the mix and watered in to help break down the old dead root matter that wasn't able to be sifted out of the coco. The cellulase will break those roots down into usable food for the plant to uptake, and clean up the dead roots at the same time.
Hygroben will also be added because i have some left from the last crop. And after seeing the results of using bacteria, i'm pretty sold on using it.
Today is March 4th, 2024. I like to start on the first of the month but i like starting on Monday's better for keeping my weed soaked brain organized a little easier.
I'm thinking to do half strength doses 2x per week instead of full doses 1x per week. It's twice the mixing, but that's ok.
There will be 7 plants in total, and the experiment i am running this time, for anyone that wants to check out, is 1 of the plants i will do a seriously severe defoliation on while leaving the rest untouched. And we'll see how it plays out yield wise. I'm sure of the outcome already, but I'm tired of the babbling dummies all over the place that preach fan leaves fan leaves... So we shall see!
I had the pH of the nutrient solution set to 6.0 but after adding the enzyme and liquid bacteria, the pH dropped to 5.78, so beware of that if you use those products, even though they claim not to affect the pH.
The light dimmer is set to 6 of 10. The clip fan is set to 2 of 10. Temps set to 74F and humidity set to 70% humidity.
The light is 18 inches from the canopy at a dimmer setting of 6, which gives the canopy 15,000 Lux.
Each plant was gently watered with about 300ml of nutrient solution, which was carefully and gently dispensed with a 140CC syringe
Hope they like what i've done with the place lol.
P.S. I realized that the 5000 to 7000 Lux was for clones that are rooting. So I had the lux at 12,000 at 18 inches from the plants at a dimmer value of 5. I've now upped the dimmer to 6. Tomorrow i'll check the lux and see where it's at. The clones have just come out of the dome today so i don't want to push them too aggressively too fast.
MARCH 5, 2024
I just tested the Par light reading on BM #1 and the BM right in the center. BM #1 Par reading is 247. Center plant is 270. Light dimmer is at 6 and light is now 13 inches from plant canopy.
MARCH 9, 2024
Fed again today. There is some progress in growth. 1/2 inch increase. The clones have been upset getting adjusted to their new environment. I've upped the dimmer to 7 and the PPFD and DLI numbers are good. Humidity remains set at 70% and temperature is set to trigger the fan at 78F Light remains where it was so the plants have grown 1/2 so the light will be 12 inches above the canopy.
Mixed up 2 liters of nutrients and the ppm was 555, and the pH was adjusted to 6.15. 2ml Per liter of hygrozyme and hygroben were also added.
Clones have curled leaves and a perky/droopy stature. The leaf edges are browning a little bit. I'm not sure whats happening with them other than it's just the effects of transplanting and drastic environmental change. What i'm wondering is how they will/are reacting to the used coco underneath? We press on with fingers crossed! 🙏😁

This week was amazing to see the growth really start. Felt like a little kid again when observing the first pointy leaves that come through! To think these 9 are going to provide us with the most beautiful, versatile plant on our planet, is just awesome. Eradicating the need to fuel crime by putting money in dealers pockets, and taking full control of the wonders I’ll be inhaling and consuming.
They didn’t need much attention day to day, just moving windowsills morning/afternoon, and watering when the soil/pots looked dry. Thankfully haven’t had much trouble with them, although one of the FastBuds original AK’s isn’t looking so great. She’s not as developed as the others as you can see. She’s not received any different treatment or water or anything different at all to the others. Maybe I need to investigate more.
I’ve decided to try stay as organic as possible with this grow. With that said, I’ve been brewing up a nettle tea to make a good nitrogen feed for the girls. Nitrogen is said to be needed most during veg stage, so preparing as much as I can.

Growing like a weed. Did some LST, defoliated some yellowing leaves. Looks like nitrogen deficiency. Side dressed with Back to Earth 4-4-4, half the recommended amount and Superthrive. Hasn’t been give any nutrients since transplant. 4 days earlier treated with cal-mag and recharge. Sprayed with some organic neem oil mix a few days prior to that to keep pests away. I’m doing my best to keep everything au naturale.

After putting my timer wrong at 24h, I adjusted it to 18h to match the photoperiod plant. Heavy defoliation helps them breathe a bit. Focus on main branches

Grand Daddy Purple auto is doing well. She has stretched a little more, and looks like she is debating about going into bulking soon. She does have a little nute burn that has been there since at least last week. Still looking really good. She is starting to develop a smell, but I can't pinpoint it yet to what exactly. It's kinda faint at the moment. Everything is looking good. Thank you Medic Grow, and ILGM. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱
Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇.

Hey everyone 😃.
We arrived last week and everything is going according to plan 👍.
It has now had enough time to use up its nutrients and will be in the darkroom for the next 2-3 days before it is harvested 👌.
The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber 👍.
As always, a detailed harvest update will follow before the last update 👍.
Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy and let it grow 🍀

Purple galore! I am really excited about this strain, can't wait to see the final product! I have used a couple of BuildASoil products, and they have both seemed to help tremendously. Today is day 49 from seed, so about another month and they should be ready to go. I hope so, because I'm going on vacation in July so they have to be done by then. Overall, extremely happy with this grow, just waiting patiently for the results.

Hello Diary.
He also finished the second week of vegetation and Fat Banana with his 21cm. he doesn’t lag far behind his roommate Haze Berry in terms of height and general development. I moved Fat Banana all the way to the left and put Haze Berry # 2 in the middle. I was thinking about topping this time but still decided on a naturally determined growth and development.
She threw out the hairs in the places where the branches come out of the stem and thus showed that she is female :).
I continued feeding with BioBizz as scheduled for the second week of vegetation.
Let’s see what it looked like last week.
02/10/2020 - Day 8.
Watering. She got BioBizz on schedule for the second week of vegetation.
Fish-Mix - 2ml / lit, Bio-Heaven - 2ml / lit and Acti-Vera - 2ml / lit. p.H I dropped to 6.4 with Plagron’s Lemon Kick.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25 degrees and 53% humidity.
06/10/2020 - Day 12.
Watering. Procedure as four days ago. The temperature of the water I water is always around 19 degrees.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 49% humidity.
08/10/2020 - Day 14.
Photography and height measurement. This time I also record a bit and video and it really relaxes and makes me happy.
Temp / Humidity on the farm - 25.6 degrees and 49% humidity.
Fat Banana Auto - 21cm
At the end of the second week everything is fine. The conditions in the Box are good and the plants are progressing nicely. We’ll see how Fat Banana progresses compared to the Haze’s. Since they are all different heights, I have to adjust the lights and lift a little every day to maintain a distance of 35cm as Migro recommends.
That’s it for this week, see you soon.

Plants have responded really well to the drier air...the dehumidifier has transformed them a lot...they were going a pale green as i assume they were intaking moisture through the air rather than the roots with nutrients...they have started to go a nicer green and really putting on some growth now...
Some of the stems are going purple, not sure if this is genetics or due to slightly colder lights off temps...the tent drops to 19/20°C when the lights are off...not sure if this is too cold from the 29/30°C on lights on...

Another rough week. Thought I got aphids but now as I'm posting this after some more research it looks like I may actually have Neoseilulus fallacis. I only sprayed them down with water and got lady bugs. Been sick the last week as well so I cant really smell whats going on. Been having a hard time keeping the humidity below 60% at night but i finally found a budget dehumidifier that works okay
