Super soil Diary update 20th Feb 2020
So another week bites the dust and it's time to update again. I let the soil dry out within the pot for three days because it had been cooler
and I was concerned that I had been overwatering. When I did give her a drink it was 10Lof Rainwater mixed with some Mollasses and ph'd to 6.5.
I also gave her some epsom salts and I also finally got around to doing the worm warm, so All of my Photo strain girls got aprox half a kilo of fresh worm castings each.
I have some more "high tea" bubbling away (see above video) that will be given to the plants later this week. After all that the soil should be very happy and hopefully this will pass onto the Wifi in the form of fat buds. Remember keep your soil happy and your plants will be happy too.
Cheers for checking out this weeks update If you liked it please leave a like 👊👍

It was easy to grow for my first try!
I used LST only on her with some minor defoliation here and there,with regular feeding and not much of an equipment!Only what I could find for less that 150 bucks.The pot is a mop bucket that I cut to be 8lt or so and punctured holes on its bottom 😂.
If you take care of it the way you’re supposed to grow something living it will put out its full potential!
I even played music during her vegetative state and the stretch!
Then I switched to nature sounds of autumn for her to enjoy!
I made some cannabutter (about 90g) with all the trim I had from the first harvesting session!How does it look?
Second harvest is here!
Again I can’t say how stunned I am with the outcome!
She did 472g wet which I guess if you take out the stems and water will be around 70-80g dry...I’ll post her dry weight in a week or so!
Also got another batch of cannabutter Trim and popcorn Buds,maybe this time it’ll be 120g butter!

Some are swelling , one is smelling very different to the others .
I seem to have 6 phenos from small to tall and rounded buds to thin spear shaped buds.
I'm not sure which is my favourite yet but one has a very unique smell almost like pineapple and exodus cheese , it could be that one but I also like the bud formation on another,, we will see

Plants continued to mature this week and all the buds are getting fat they will have there last nutrient feed this week in prep for flushing and harvest next week.
The Lemon Zkittles looks and smells amazing looks amazing. Nearly all the plants look and smell the small, good genetics and breading.
The Cxx is again a very stable genetics and flowered and smells exactly as the last grow did. Good genetics.
The Peyote Cookies and Shishkaberry also grew well and similar, good genetics.
Afghan Kush amazing buds and very earthy smell.classic
The gorilla cookies had a rather large variation in pheno types but all look amazing and each will be a pleasure to smoke.

23.08.24:
I've done considerable defoliation. Also, FBP1 and FBP3 have grown all over the place. The stems are also relatively weaker as they've grown so much.
(Photos above).
Being as the plants were looking a bit delicate, I added some string and tied the side branches lightly to keep them a bit more compact.
Additionally, FBP2 has a considerable amount of buds on the main cola. So I've added a plant stake, and I just tied string around the stake and the main stalk.
The humidity has been able to stay under 53%. That's with 3 dehumidifiers. So I'm pretty sure that's about as good as it will probably be.
I've had to lower the watering frequency on FBP3, as I overwatered only this plant. and also added too much Nitrogen in. As a result all the leaves are looking droopy.
I'm really not sure how this will pan out, as they all still look like they're weeks away from harvest.
Anyway, I'll update throughout the week.
25.8.24:
I was tending to the garden a majority of the day, and realised that a branch had broken on FBP2. I acted quickly to insert plant stakes, to provide the heavily laden branches additional support. See photos above.
The branch was bent or snapped, but still in one piece. I used duct tape to carefully put it back together. Before making a stake for it.
Silica, apparently wasn't quite enough to get the FBP2 through the whole way. The flowers are very heavy and dense.
I have also given the plants water yesterday with concentrations of the following nutrients, per plant.
● 9ltr of dechlorinated tap water with 6ml of cal-mag, 3ml of Ecothrive Flourish, 6ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster.
I have also added cinnamon top dress after watering, as I have noticed some fungus gnats.
I checked the trichomes through one of my loupes yesterday too, and nearly all are still glass like in appearance, with some cloudy here and there. I'm definitely going to have some time left on these girls.
I did check the PH if my soil on all plants as I was concerned about nutrient lock out on FBP3. All pots tested out at 7.0 Ph exactly, before and after watering.
Thanks for reading my diary 😊

Hey everyone! 🌿 I'm starting a new micro-grow, this time with Chronic Ryder Reg Auto. I'm already familiar with its non-auto version and really liked it. Let's see how this strain performs!
I soaked the seeds in water for 24 hours, then placed them in a moist paper towel for another 24 hours, and now they're in coco coir. 🌱 I watered the coco with a light nutrient solution, and now we wait. Follow my journey! 🚀

Gracias al equipo de Terpyz, Marshydro y XpertNutrients sin ellos esto no sería posible.
💐🍁 Variegatd Sour GPP:
Es una cepa que mezcla Sour Diesel, Spicy Temptation (GPP) y la línea Variegatd, conocida por sus hojas visualmente impactantes. Se espera que combine el perfil ácido y terroso de Sour Diesel con un toque especiado de Spicy Temptation, mientras que la influencia de Variegatd añadirá colores y patrones únicos en las hojas. Ideal para cultivadores experimentados, esta cepa promete una experiencia visual fascinante y una mezcla compleja de aromas y efectos.
Estoy usando el FC6500 como luz principal 💡, con su potencia y espectro, espero un crecimiento fuerte y buena floración 🌱✨, también usaré los Adlite UV55 de 55W para complementar las primeras etapas.
En cuanto a nutrientes, he optado por XpertNutrients 😎, que es conocido por su fórmula equilibrada y fácil de usar. Sus productos están diseñados para ofrecer una nutrición completa durante todo el ciclo de cultivo, ayudando a las plantas a alcanzar su máximo potencial.
📆 Semana 5:
Esta semana la Variegated Sour GPP avanza con fuerza en floración. La estructura de la planta es sólida, con cogollos bien formados que empiezan a cubrirse de una generosa capa de resina.
Los Adlite de Mars Hydro están haciendo un gran trabajo, asegurando una distribución de luz excelente que favorece el desarrollo parejo de todas las flores, incluso en las zonas más bajas. Se nota la diferencia en la densidad y calidad de los cogollos.
El plan de nutrición de XpertNutrients sigue funcionando a la perfección: hojas sanas, crecimiento equilibrado y una floración limpia, sin síntomas de carencias ni excesos.
Todo apunta a una gran cosecha si seguimos así.
Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪.

For the Herbies contest - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/157348-grow-journal-by-dabbertglobberfield#gallery=6777378 - Grandmommy Purple is guilty multiple noise violations for being too loud and for stanky funk.
Harvest - 169 days / 66 days in flower
Well, we did it. I made it to the end. All I can think is...WOW that was A LOT of work. But I think I had very good results for a first time grower. I
For harvest, we took Plant B and D and prepared them for immediate freezing. Altogether, I ended up with 1212g wet on plant B and 1089g wet on plant D. I ended up freezing 1816g of this. There was some from each of these plants that was set aside from freezing because, for whatever reason, I thought they were not worthy of washing because of how progressed the leaf damage was from the root rot battle. So that was cut up and dried as nuggets instead of hanging like the rest. Sawtooth and Plant C were both harvested and hung in the tent to dry for 12-13 days. I think I overdried by 1-2 days because when I jarred them they struggled to raise up to 55%. So I am using rh% packs.
After drying Sawtooth and plant C, I ended up at 459.8g for dried flower and 170.8g in dried trim. So just over 1lbs between the 2 plants and 4.15lbs wet between the other 2 plants that was washed for hash.
So... are you for real with the effort involved with washing bud for bubble hash? I don't think I would do this in the warmth. I only pursued doing bubble hash cause it's cold right now and I figured that would really help. Even in the 30s(fahrenheit) stuff would stick. It's hilarious how sticky of a process this is. I hope you have a bunch of gloves, water, and ice to burn through. I went through over 60 gallons of distilled water and 80lbs of ice to wash the 4 lbs. I am envious of people in videos using a hose to collect, clean, and refill. Also, doing this as a 1 person show is the definition of insanity.
I broke the washings up into 3 parts. The first part was was the tester wash. I broke off 420g of plant D's 848gs available. I used 7 bags to see where I would end up. I used 220, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, 25. What I determined was that if I was hunting a specific micron with a lot of material this would help find what you can get. But for the next washing I reduced the amount of bags to 4; 220, 160, 45, 25. The time, with the 4 bags, I washed with 809g. I had a much more favorable experience and return this second time but I had green fast and probably used too much ice. The 3rd wash was the remaining 631g and I found an extra 137g I added of sugar leaves and trim, brining the 3rd wash to 768g. I used 5 bags this time; 220, 160, 73, 45, 25.
By the 3rd wash I have become an expert in collection but also never want to do it again. lol.
2 of the 3 washes have dried and I have 43.4g of bubble and 2.8g of dry sift. 37.4g of that bubble is able to be pressed into rosin. I will probably press that dry sift as well. The other stuff is 25u or 160u that I will experiment with or cook with. The other stuff is drying so I can't add it all in.
I pressed a bunch of trim and some flower. The trim presses nice and the dab is decent. I am working out a good temp for the flower. But the problem with all these tests to find the sweet spot is that I have all these testers to go through but want to keep pressing and trying that! I think I will need to work on a better storage solution.
I can't wait for the fresh frozen bubble hash rosin pressing... I have over 20gs of bubble to put in one bag. I am really looking forward to this. But I will need to work up to that pressing since I have never pressed hash/kief/bubble before in my rosin press. So this should be really fun.
I will 100% post an update of the hash pressing once I do that and also after the 3rd wash session is done drying.
In closing, saying I learned a lot from this grow would be an understatement. I fully expect to start it back up in a few weeks after some R&R then some R&D. There's some things I will need to work on before I start again, such as: having a single external reservoir that feeds multiple plants, hard to clog and easy to use ebb and flow system, miscellaneous final run stuff like space for drying. So thanks everyone for hanging out and perusing the photos and or reading all my huge rambling updates and thanks to those for the help along the way.

Add slightly nutrients. Day Nr 16 doing topping. Nutrient tank with capacity 10L turning little bit in alkaline, at the beginning I added 3ml ph down and reach 6.4 pH, than now it’s inccrise to 6.6 on 5 days time. Same I can telling about TDS. At the beginning it was 350 ppm, but now it’s step up on 400ppm without adding nothing. Day 18 start moving out new branches from places around where was topping. Keep watering with 1.5L with slight nutrients dosage… Day 20 we can see how flower keep moving ahead after topping days ago…
