Power was 170w now 160w. I'm going to have to have a think about my next grow, either I stick with this tent and hit the plants hard with light when I flip to flower to keep them small, or try and cram a slightly bigger tent in the space allocated for it. This tent is 61×76×150cm with the option to extend it to 173cm. Mine is configured to the 150cm height, but because its extendable the top 30cm is inaccessible at the best of times let alone when the plants reach a decent height. Extending this tent will be pointless because that's another 23cm of inaccessible space. Besides I only have a max head room for 160cm where the tent is.

She is coming along at a decent pace, maybe not quite as quick as the other 2 test strains. Back soon. Take it easy.

11/20/23 - Day 14 - Today the box flipped to Veg state. I made the decision in the software yesterday, its take effect the next day at the light on schedule. The system will do a couple of things now that it's in Vegetative mode. Lights will remain at 18Hrs On/6hours Off, however the intensity will slowly creep from 30% intensity to 100% within a couple of days. Air Temp will remain the same at 79deg. F Humidity will go down to 50% Water temp and PH will remain the same, 64.5deg. F and 6.0Ph Because I have it all hooked up for Auto water. It started the first video about 1 min after lights on. It drained the water, refilled it. After it refilled it, it turned on the air stone, started the water temp cool down, and it slowly over the next 30 minutes delivered nutes, and finished it off with balancing the PH. All of this was done on its own. I DID NOTHING. Other than verify because why not. I sat back and watched the system work. This time around with everything hook up for auto I really am not doing much. The hardest part of this grow so far is not opening the door while the light is off. the rest of the week I don't expect to do much. I will update daily with pictures and things that I am noticing. This is an Auto strain. I am a little worried about growing an Auto in this box. usually, I can control the growth utilizing the lights because I'm space limited. This time the plants going to flip to flower on its own. I'll need to make sure I am training and cropping early on. 11/24/23 - Day 18 - Everything is starting to get aggressive in there. I say that because the new nodes are growing out of new nodes on the top. It's like its packed full of plant and it all wants to come out at the same time. The leaves have more serrated Leafs than I have seen on any of the other strains I have grown. Ill post a picture of the last time I grew this strain. I did it in Coco Coir. It will be cool to see the differences. 11/25/23 - Day 19 - The Leaves are all reaching up, and the plant is growing so fast! Its such a bushy plant.

This is such a long week ! It has been raining heavily for 5 days (like non stop raining ) which causes the humidity in the room to rise and the temp dropped fast. Not so sure if the red stem was caused by the temp drop or not. The humidity level rose to 85% which worries me very much . Even the small dehumidifier doesn’t seem to help. This could potentially causes me more problems such as bus rotting . Let’s hope after the rain the RH is going back to normal. For this week really nothing much but i will have to increase the PPM level of the medium cuz i can see a lot of bud sites forming up but struggling to get dense LOL 😤😤 “BUT” i can’t adjust the PPM now because i broke my TDS meter by dropping it into the water . Silly me ! I want to give a piece of advice for you guys out there , NEVER buy a non waterproof TDS meter .Just think about it , the equipment is a water measurement tool but it is not waterproof . Trust me , just buy the waterproof ones so you don’t have to reinvest again 🚫🚫 **I am in week 4 of flowering is it weird that i can’t see any trichomes yet?**

D38. Growth is good. They was starting to be a bit more yellow than I like when the lights come on I added a bit more food. Jumped the ppm to 600 counting the. 140 from the tap water. I could. Probably. Feed more but. No need. They happy. The one girl is staying. To small I'm worried it's not gonna be able to reach the screen. So stripped it staked it. And gonna try. To branch it out more. To make up for it and will raise if needed. I've been. Really twisting these girls. Everyday. It has slowed growth down but the smell let's me know it's worth it. Very very sticky already like velcro. First thing I've noticed. For me is. That comparison wise my girls are very easy to make. Sticky& Stinky I've never had this much. Smell or. Taste or stickiness this soon outside they starting to get used to it. So now I'm able to really. Hurt the plant. And make it fight. Fir me the way I do it I get more sticky more stinky the smell is bad actually but I'm not sure if this is normal for inside. Already? I wish you guys could smell this already. It's got that classic skunky smell for sure but there's a Sprite smell mixed with a sweet. Taste already the leaf is very sweet and has a nearly pear taste already. At this rate. Probably gonna be vegging 80+ days. I'm gonna scrog um so really just gotta fill the canopy in but I'm not sure how much these hps can penetrate so I'm not sure how thick to make it. I got 7.5 feet. To work with and I can get the hoods. Real close to the top so I'm thinking. Minuse 1 foot for container 1 foot for the hood. And then the light distance. they brand new so 18+ or it does burn um I can get. 18 for sure so I figure once they hit the wall I'll switch the lights. First time. Here. So I'm sure I'll mess this up. But hey that's the fun part right I'm getting leafs with 9+ leaflets forgot to take a picture of the 13 one. Next one I will for sure. Got the 9 for ya happy growing. Everyone. And does anyone else. Add a month of grow time. To really damage the stems in a good way and keep stripping leaves. just curious ? I'm still giving them 5 gallons of water a day probably 50% run off maybe. More. I keep adding tell the run off is perfect. Ph for me that's 5.8 everyday when I check it. It's around 6.1 and the tds will be around 800 the madness behind this is all bro science but seems to me I only get so many. Water cycles 8b the flower stage. So this way I'll be able to really pump in the. Nutes and for me I like this style of growing. Let's me correct yellowing over hours and I'm thinking. Around. Bud time I should be able to hit these a lot more. And keep the numbers. Higher longer and keep the ph more stable. But like I said some bro science so we will see but my coco is a 50 50 mix so it drains. So fast I can really unlock the hydro part of this medium it does eat up some food and water and I'm sure this will double in flower probably 2 gals a lady everyday my thing is I want the girls to have fresh new. Always. So it's always got everything. It needs but still has the synthetic nutes style were you can still burn them with to much like I said just a thought on some bro science hope everyone has a good week.

Welcome to the diary of the Limited edition strain: Orange skunk ryder OMG, this DANK has started to finish it smell like i have at least 50 of them in flowering, but when you follow your nose you only find this little lowryder crossbreed. it looks great, trichomes look very tiny like grown under LED, but it's outdoor i'm leaving this outside for some extra days and then i'll start to cut the main cola, which isn't really big, but smells o so promising. this plant is very stealthy, and it needs to be stealthy because it's that stinky.

First day of week 4 flower day 22- Took some shots of a few bud sites, that are looking well and that should start to frost up pretty heavy once in full gear. Increasing the EC slightly 1.6/1.7 around 800ppm for those that don't know. Trying not to overfeed but get to the sweet spot of tlwhat the plants want and require. Respectfully it is my first run with this strain and Breeder but nothing but good things so far. I managed to take some clones so that I can push the strain better the next run and incase I get a special pheno! But so far so good. The buds should start to go through a fattening period once the flower stretch is completely out the way. Will be back to report and show some more pics/videos as the week goes on. Stay tuned and follow my youtube and Instagram on my growdiaries profile

Well I have to say even though I had a few temperature issues in the night that I think may have stressed them. They took a lot longer than expected but after drying I don’t know how but I ended up with some fantastic tasty buds a few of the plants even came out purple!! I have to say the purple buds are my favourite 🤩 fastbuds never disappoints!!!!!

Absolutely amazing Gorilla Strawberry !!! If only I could transfer the smell to the photos. All Gorillas bloom beautifully with different colors and shapes, a joy to look at. I am very satisfied. I can not stop sniffing and watching my favorite dark purple phenotype. Unfortunately, bad weather is coming... It's supposed to rain all week, so we'll see how fast buds genetics will cope

End of course for this Persian Prince project! Unfortunately, he failed to cut short this flowering a few days in advance following the start of a pest attack. Our two beautiful ones would have certainly enjoyed crunching life with full roots for another week, but prudence forced us to cut a little prematurely. Never mind, our flowers have dried for 10 days and are now ready to begin their maturing period in a jar. Despite these conditions, which are very well known to them, our Persian Princes still present impressive characters: the buds are huge, covered with a thick layer of trichomes and very fragrant. In terms of flavors, cheesy dominates 🧀 the two phenos smell strongly of semi-roller/Emmental style hard cheese, definitely the dominant aroma, for one of our two plants it is the only aroma that I am capable of to raise. The other phenotype is more complex, on the salty-cheesy smell a fresher and tangy/lemony smell is superimposed, very pleasant and different from its sister and at the same time linked to it by its common dominant cheesy aroma. For those who would still take a break from sweet/fruity strains and would like to try something more unique, consider this Persian Prince! :) 🌱 @khalifa.genetics 🍱 @gaiagreenorganics @greenhousefeeding_worldwide 💡 @official_marshydro 🌬️ @acinfinityinc 🍄 @bigfootmycorrhizae @promix_cannabis BY ZOUZOUCANNA ON YOUTUBE AND INSTAGRAM
