9th Week I'm trying to address the deficiencies, I believe it's due to using coconut substrate. I am gradually reducing the daily light exposure by 1 hour until reaching 12/12. As it's the first time with Delta 9 in the cultivation, I have trow it foliarly.

————-DAY 22 of flower—————- Alright stretch is all wrapped at this point. Did a little bit of defol just cuz things were getting cramped on the interior of the plants. Having to really watch run off on these girls. Couple signs of mildew 🤦‍♂️ Ugh - been months since I’ve had a lick of mildew and it starts up now. Lots of reasons probably - weather and shit outside. Just turned furnace on for the first time it’s kicking up all types of shit from inside the ducts. Upped ArmorSi cuz silica is supposed to help with WPM. Pheno 1 & 4 are largest two. Pheno 1 has more lateral branching into even canopy. 2 is middle child as far as size. 3 caught up actually after some late stretching. All are about the same nutrient wise except for 1 - she’s the odd one out as far as morphology in some respects. Also as I started saying is showing different needs as far as nutrients. Showing some calcium deficiency in the last week. Overall so impressed with these genetics and results thus far. ——————- Day 26 ——————- Stacking and putting weight on. PK boosted 3 first to show some purps in buds. Littttle tiny bit in 1 as well. Frosty as hell WPM seems at bay

So after doing just a couple of weeks of LST on my Elixer CBD auto I realised I didn't like how it was sitting in the pot. It was too late for the CBD but I still had plenty of time for this girl. so I filled up her pot with soil which kinda negated the LST I had already done. No biggie, I enjoy the work so doing a little extra is okay. That's pretty much the only change other wise she's growing well. Continuing on with Dutch Science Nutrition and LST.

They are still not too happy with me... Not liking the nutrient strength I choose again.. So after 24hrs of just ph water and 1/4 strength hydroguard. No change I thought they would appreciate just water and a root stimulate. But no change in root or plant mass. Looking like they are very stunted from nutrient burn. So moving forward I went with same strength as the 1st feeding that they liked. But I did it in a hurry before work and realized after the fact that I put that same amount I put before but didn't account for lowering the water level to 3.5 gal from 4gal. So end up being slightly stronger then before. I did add 0.5ml of hydroguard to each bucket. Also added 0.5 of bud candy to each bucket. But hoping they work with me fingers crossed. 4/12/2023 5.8/72°F/221(Left rear) 5.8/72°F/227(Middle front) 5.8/72°F/214(right rear) No sign of transitioning to flower yet. 4/14/23 Colorado Cookies recovered and jumped like a inch looking alot better! Overall Height 3.5" And I noticed that there was some growth in the root zone. But noticed there is something going on with the upper leafs. Runtz Seems to be recovering but still a little rough. Overall Height 2" But I did notice the roots mass did not change and they still appear to have the brown tint and seems to have gotten slightly worse toward the bottom of 6"net basket. I believe that's contributing to the slow recovery. Still looking alot better tho. Banana Purple Punch seems to have bearly changed at all. There's very slight growth in center. No change to root mass at all. Overall Height 1.5" Found some very helpful information on measuring EC instead of ppm and how to monitor EC and Ph. So will be doing this moving forward. I'm going to redo Banana's bucket to exactly what I gave the 1st time she was happy but this time accounting for the .5 gal change in water level. I'm also looking into if I can use the hydroguard at full strength on nutrient burned autos since its not a nutrient for the plant. But I need to fight the brown roots in runtz tonight. See if I can't get all three happy! And save this grow to a more acceptable outcome. Stats 4/14/2023 6.25Ph/72°F/222ppm(runtz) 6.33Ph/72°F/218ppm(banana) 6.28Ph/72°F/215ppm Cookies I added 1ml total hydroguard to all and added .05 total calmag to all and ph to 5.8 4/15 I changed the water on all buckets. raised the water level back to 4 gal on Banana since it has the smallest root mass. And put full strength hydroguard and full strength rapid start in all buckets amd ph to 5.8 and left it for 24 hrs. I made a floral spray of armor si at 0.33ml to full spray bottle. Wet em down good. Twice today. 4/16 I noticed Banana's leaf tips began to droup a little. So lowered water back to 3.5 gal and mixed the nutrients for 3 gal to be safe and leave ppm for cal mag and bud candy without nutrient burn. Added 0.5 cal mag and 0.5 bud candy. I trimmed all the burned leaf tips off, so I can see if and when it burns again. And since it was the best my test has looked yet I took a video and some pictures. But still need to figure out whats going on with Colorado cookies. Has spotty yellowing. Thought maybe light burn. So checked and raised like a inch or so. But there leafs below that are almost fully yellow. Like nutrient deficiency. Trying to read her but not getting it yet. gavw them a spray of armor si. 4/17 ph to 5.8 bucket stats. Sprayed with armor si 6.1/74°F/200ppm/425uscm/0.85EC(Runtz) 6.3/72°F/207ppm/440uscm/0.88EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/210ppm/446uscm/0.89EC(cookies) Thinking about LST cookies and pull top down. But want to address the yellowing 1st. 4/18 I changed the water in buckets to just water with 50ml hydrogen peroxide 3% to 3.5 gal water and left it for 3 hrs. During this 3 hrs I turned both fans off and made a foliar spray with 0.30 ml gh flora trio and 0.25 cal mag and sprayed them down and turned the light off for 3 hrs. So after the 3 hrs peroxide treatment. I changed water out with fresh water and did my nutrient differently. I got the EC of my tap water whixh was between 0.19 and 0.23 between the buckets. Then I added cal mag to 0.5EC And added nutrients base and additions to a EC of 1.0. Then I added 4ml hydroguard to 3.5gal. And ph to 5.8 Banana 0.19EC 3.5ml cal mag 3ml GH Flora Trio 1.5ml Bud Candy 1.5ml Rapid Start 0.25ml GH Flora Macro 4ml Hydroguard 7.4ph 242ppm 517uscm 1.0 EC Cookies 0.23 EC 3.1ml cal mag 3.1ml GH Flora Trio 1.5ml Bud Candy 1.5ml Rapid Start 0.40ml GH Flora Macro 0.42ml GH Flora Gro 0.25ml GH Bloom 4ml Hydroguard Ph 7.3 235ppm 500uscm 1.0EC Runtz 0.22EC 3.2ml Cal mag 3ml GH Flora Trio 1.5ml Bud Candy 1.5ml Rapid Start 0.25ml GH Flora Macro 0.40ml GH Flora Gro 0.25ml GH Flora Bloom 4ml Hydroguard 7.4ph 235ppm 500uscm Ph all to 5.8 That was last night at 11:30pm This morning at 5:20am stats 4/19/2023 5.9/74°F/238ppm/506uscm/1.0 EC(Runtz) 5.9/73°F/232ppm/493uscm/0.98 EC(Banana) 6.0/74°F/232ppm/493uscm/0.98EC(Cookies) Ph To 5.8

Flipped to flowering on these girls as the screens are now almost full across the 4x8 tent and we will still need to train them along the screens for the next 2-3 weeks. So working for a packed tent this time hopefully. Plants have been exploding in growth daily. Water was changed out and new water added with 3/4 Remo Flowering lineup and UC Roots at full strength. Smell is starting to get noticeable when you open the tent and is very pleasant.

Thank you to RQS for creating and sending me this girl. She's fat, full of flavour and a pleasure to grow! Highly recommended even for a beginner. Thanks to all that follow, like and comment. Without you guys it'd be pretty boring so I appreciate all of your input! She was harvested on Day 58 and left to dry for at least a week. I then gave her a dry trim and thrown the buds in a jar for curing. I put a couple of boveda 62% humidity packs in there too, to keep the moisture level correct. I'll soon be switching to Integra boost packs as they seem to get a better review and are purposely made for cannabis. Because I have 4 seperate plants/strains in one tent, under one light, I've had to calculate these by dividing the conditions by 4 (4 plants in total sharing same conditions). This is the fairest and only way to work it out on average as a full tent. Happy growing! 🐺

This week basically was just feeding the soil with molasses ( 5ml per 1 litre ). And Reverse osmosis water. Environment control during this stage is of high importance. Since the plant is moving from its adolescence to teenagehood, so to say lol, it's really vital to keep the conditions steady. Other than that, this week was a breeze. Thanks to any and everyone that's viewing my diary, I do appreciate the support. 💚🌿

The Moby Dick still shows that parchment like leaf structure with bleached marblings. considering that aside, she is pumping the most among them all. May be simple genetics but it is alarmingly dry at the touch despite the high humidity and care.

Swapped out another 5L this week with N110, so the res is sitting at roughly N90 right now. I’m planning a full res change, bumping it back to N110, once she bounces back from the stress of topping. She looks just about ready for the snip.

3/18/2023 Week 5- Day 1 of Veg (Day 45 overall) First day of Week 5 Water change day. 36 Gallons in Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil CalMag = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal =36Mil FLoraMicro = 4.8Mil/Gal = 173Mil FLoraGro = 4.0Mil/Gal = 144Mil FLoraBLoom = 3.8Mil/Gal = 137Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal =18Mil PH = 5.85 PPM = 576 I adjusted the lights to final position for grow the lights are now 45" from the top of the plants. PPFD= 450 Tent Temp = 78.3 Water Temp = 73.2 3/19/2023 Week 5- Day 2 of Veg (Day 46 overall) Not much to report.. Did some defoliation and some topping. The humidifier was not cutting it by itself to keep the humidity around 60 so I added a bigger humidifier today on a second InkBird Controller. Lets see if it can help control the environment a little better and keep me from having to refill 3 times a day. 3/20/2023 Week 5- Day 3 of Veg (Day 47 overall) Just let them be today. We all took the day off and just grew!! 3/21/2023 Week 5- Day 4 of Veg (Day 48 overall) Nothing much to report they continue to do good.. I topped a little I fim'ed a little and I defoliated a little. Everything seems to be on point still... 3/22/2023 Week 5- Day 5 of Veg (Day 49 overall) Did a little bit of daily maintenance by adding 6mil of PH Up to bring my PH from 5.80 to 5.89, I refilled my humidifier. I topped a little, I FIMed one and I defoliated a little bit. 3/23/2022 Week 5- Day 6 of Veg (Day 50 overall) Regular maintenance conducted. The PH was down to 5.80 so I added 8mil of PH UP bringing the PH to 5.91. I topped where it was needed, I also defoliated some to allow light to hit lower nodes as well as allow a good air flow. 3/24/2023 Week 5- Day 7 of Veg (Day 51 overall) Last Day of the week time for measurements: #3 = 1 foot #2 = 11 and 1/2 Inches Tomorrow I will try to just add a SILICA top off to my Res.. I hope it doesn't call any gumming and me to drain and restart my Res.. this will be my first time topping off SILICA.

1/11/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I have a root almost in the water.. Yay!! Top feeding is almost done. she is looking a little sad as I work the transition Top feeding but once the roots are fully in the water she will start to take off. Ensured my PPFD is set between 250-300 it is set to: 258 1/12/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I have a root in the water.... NO TOP FEED TODAY SIR!!! now that a root is touching the water and she looks stable, I am not going to topfeed, I will see how she looks tomorrow and as long as everything looks good I am going to go ahead and do a change and week 1 fill on Nutes.. I know it is a couple of days in but the same Nutes go through Week 2 and get changed at Week 3 So I should be good to go.. I will just ensure I fill to root touching the water when I change tomorrow. 1/13/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- Water Change Day!! I added 36 Gallons of Water to the system: Silica= .5mil/gal= 18mil CalMag= .75mil/gal = 27mil FloraMicro=3.0mil/gal = 108mil FloraGro=2.0mil/gal = 72mil FloraBloom= 2.0mil/gal = 72mil PH DOWN= 30mil Very important thing with this system is to now wait the 24 hours for the system to adjust.. Do not make any further adjustments to your PH up or Down for 24 hours to allow time for the system to balance. 1/14/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I just adjusted the PH to ensure that it was right at 6.0 1/15/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today I Cleaned up the lower damaged leaves from the transition from top feeding to roots in the water. She looks good today. 1/16/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I just took a picture of the beautiful lady for Log. Other than that just normal day to day operations, check the pH, check the Humidifiers and fill as necessary, check level of water in the Res. Everything looks great. onto Tomorrow!! 1/17/2024 Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Today I filled the humidifers, checked the PH and just let her grow.. Grow baby Grow.....

18.5.25: I watered with 3ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 780 I added the PK booster this feeding, just to provide some phosphorus without risking an excess. Next time, I won't use it. 23.5.25: FastBuds Mystery seed #1 is looking super frosty! The buds are still smaller than I'd like to see at this stage. I'm sure it's going to be fire 🔥 smoke. There just won't be much of it, unfortunately. She is getting close to being finished, so I have begun checking trichomes. At least another week to 10 days is my estimation. She was thirsty, and the pot was dry. I decided to add in a PK booster again. I watered with 3.5 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 785 SOLUTION TEMP: 30°C SOIL PH: 7 SOIL TEMP: 21°C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 23-26°C RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 55% 24.5.25: I watered with Ecothrive Biosys 3ltrs each. The plants are still drinking at least 2 litres per day. They are increasingly thirsty, and it's important that I don't let them dry out. The soil is mostly coco and perlite, so it can dry out quicker. There are plenty of worm castings, too, so that definitely helps. The buds are developing and progressing very nicely, keeping up with the flowering nutrients and alternating between Ecothrive Biosys, Trace, and Greenleaf Nutrients. 25.5.25: I watered with 2.5 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 I added Per 6.5 litres; ♡ 1Tsp Sea K(elp) ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion ♡ 7ml Trace PH: 6.3 PPM: 840 SOLUTION TEMP: 30°C SOIL PH: 7 SOIL TEMP: 21°C AMBIENT TEMPERATURE: 23-26°C RELATIVE HUMIDITY: 58%. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. Thanks for stopping by 🍃✌️💚🤞🌱😊

Happy 4:20 everyone! 🙌 I hope everyone's doing well and please remember to stay safe! The buds in my plant are getting bigger! Two of the side branches of Pistachio could not hold the weight of the buds (you can see when they fall on the timelapse!) so I had to "hang" them to the tent, yikes! 👽 I also increased the amount of Silver PK by 0.5 but I believe the PPM was a little too high, so next week I'll try lowering the dose of CalMax to see if that helps. Some of the trichomes on the leafs are starting to turn ambar (while the rest of the plant are transparent or very milky) so I suppose the girls are getting there! They need a liiiiittle more time since there are still some immature hairs, specially on Matcha. The leaves of Pistachio are also turning lighter in color and I've been removing them everytime one pops up. Anyway, see you all in my next update! 👍
