Good little week, Last week I did not update the diary till a few days after when I took all the pics and videos but it is 1 week apart from last despite it only being 3 days GD post time. Transplanted my little plant #4 into a 2Gal pot, gave it some LST and a 2nd topping and took off some leaves that where touching the dirt after LST. This one will grow outside of the tent and I will get it under some supplemental lighting as soon as I get a box/text going for it. I won't be using my sf1000 Like I previously thought of doing, I'm going to put it under my 6500K Sun Blaster LED strips that I like. the 18" ones daisy chained together. Fun little thing I noticed is when I drilled holes into the pot a few inches up for air pruning. It made a line in the root ball that divides it in two half's. nice to have extra roots, might be a reason to do this on other pots that are hard plastic. Even if it smaller pin hole sized vs larger 1-2cm holes I bet its beneficial for my grow style. Have some before and after LST photos of it. these plants are trippers and can handle some abuse. All clones have roots now as well, that's a big bonus. They came out of the humidity bag I had them in and so far no signs of excess stress. Will keep them in smaller containers till I know what plant I like the best if any out of the mix. Will likely only be going off of looks vs taste or effects. I also might just gorilla garden them in a few spots I know of. I have a buddy in the city who has a garden and does nothing with it. If I plant them there they will sink up their yard im sure and they will love it. Regarding the LST snaps from last week, I have patched up the breaks with some string, its not 100% and kinda shity but the plants are healthy, I have heard some users use surgical tape with much better results so will need to grab a roll of this in the feature if I continue to snap the ladies on LST. Not much going on other with them, they are getting acclimated to their new home, no water was needed just letting them explore, will likely need to give them a nice water in a few days once they drink up the rest of the pots volume. After that will top again and then flip to flower after a week of recovery. so week 11 or 12 flip to flower. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

9.2.25: The plants had a good watering, they're all still drinking a lot. Which is great, as that means growth, which, at this stage, we desperately need! I went ahead and gave all the plants a thorough watering each with: 2ltrs of dechlorinated water, PH'd to 6.5 with:- β™‘ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster β™‘ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids β™‘ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid I don't know how this scrog net is going to work out. I think the squares are too big. It's elasticated, which I like. However, I'm extremely cautious with watering and moving the net. It's only a matter of time before I break more branches. It's such a hassle with it in there, honestly. I can't get in the tent properly to even check the weight of pots, as it's all weaved through, and again, I will snap branches. I did have a free net with the tent, which I think was smaller squares. I think I will use some other training next run. It's really not my kind of setup. I'm too interested in moving things and inspecting the plants constantly. The net is driving me up the wall. 😣 I'm considering removing it and trying something else, but it's also a bit too late for oldest plants.9.2.25: Gave the plants another good soak. I used 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. It contained the following nutrients; β™‘ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster β™‘ 4ml of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids β™‘ 4ml Seaweed extract liquid β™‘ 0.5g of Ecothrive Biosys. The plants are undergoing explosive growth at this stage, which I'm thrilled by! Purple Lemonade is turning purplish hues. Pink Mist has so many bud sites and is looking very healthy. Do-sΓ¬-dos is growing vigorously and looking promising, especially considering all my unfortunate mishaps! πŸ˜… Watermelon also has considerable growth. However, my training has made a mess out of the structure. Which I consider another valuable take away. Bubble

Going into week 3 of flower in a day or two. I believe today is day 20 of flower. But they're looking beautiful! Some flowers are already starting to develop some trichomes. Excited to see what these babies will throw out!!

10/6/2024 Starting to reduce PPM in the reservoir with just pH-adjusted water. Buds are putting on some weight now! Lights are turned up to 95% and raised the one directly over the plant to another inch or so. Recorded daytime air temperature in the tent is around 83F, leaf temperature is 78F. Keeping humidity around 50-55% in the tent. Lung room is set to 45% humidity. 10/8/2024 Noticed some potential light bleaching from the lights likely being too close at too high of an intensity. Backed them down to 90% and will likely remain there for the rest of the week. Some minor nutrient issues showing up with black tips and mild rust spotting on larger fan leaves, maybe early fade, but likely a slight deficiency with a slight p/k excess. Pumped off 2 gallons of reservoir to replace with fresh nutrient solution. 10/9/2024 Plants are showing signs of fade already as mentioned yesterday. Daytime air temps are rising in the tent due to outdoor temps falling and indoor AC not running consistently. I am ok with daytime temps rising to about 82-84F as long as the bud/leaf temperatures stay closer to 80F. Running humidity as low as I am (40-50%) is increasing the VPD (up to 1.8-2.0) on the plants considerably during the daytime. I am glad I left as much plant material as I did as it is helping considerably during these high VPD windows. The smell is amazingly strong with notes of fruit, pine, and a few notes of diesel coming through. Super pungent!

Plants are starting to pack on the buds and densen up. I noticed one of the plants is starting to fox tail and another have rounded buds. See how it turns out in the coming weeks. Other then that nothing new to report .. started to add flora mirco and bloom into the feed to get the ppm up, still want it higher then what it is right now but over the next 2 weeks I will bump it up around another 200-300 ppm to really get the buds growing.

The gorilla zkittlez is branching out and pushing up real nice.. the clones of the plant route well especially outdoors in humid environments with hotter temperatures.. we just got out of a heat wave of up to a hundred degrees Fahrenheit with the night temperatures around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.. the weather was dry hot humid and sunny..

Busted out a new soil analyzer, used it on another plants pot that has been having issues, 7PH. Last weeks transplant and used of PHd 7 water worked and cleared my calcium/magnesium lockout but now causing autoflowers and bagseed to grow a bit more slowly. As far as this SD plant, it's still seeing 6.0-.6.15 steady and that's why this plant is bangin' through early vegetation quickly. I've also caught this problem early with this plant and have gone way down on ferts and water amounts. Each afternoon when this plants fan leaves start to look a bit drab, one full cup of straight RO with a quarter tsp. Maxigrow, let that dissolve, fizzle the water and turn pp yellow, 1.5mL Sweet Raw and 2mL Hydrogurad, stir and add by feeder syringe. I'm pretty sure soil is fine too as bot lh my soil readers show 6 and 7 respectively on all pots(should be, same soil, same nutes) but you can literally see plants that I've overfed, this SD plantbis not one of them so soil is well buffered. I'm also scrambling to raise the lights to get all 5 plants good top coverage but the more I raise the lights, the more I see nodes and lateral braching stretch. Definitely not an auto or Indica Dominant. Bought some #2 2.6Gal pots today, will sterilize and coat with copper sulfate and mix up some Ocean Forest with a bit of silica sand, tiny bit of Oak wood ash and also new, Dr. Earths Blood Meal with whats left of my Tree and Nut dry amendments from same company. Have had alot of good results with these mix in or too dress fertilizers, buds are much more dank than when using chemical ferts! I will most likely cut out the maxigro, start using Brier Rabbit Blackstrap Molasses, keep using Floralicious Plus and the Botanicaire line and back with the Alaska Fish Fertilizer, all just in much lighter amounts!! Blood Meal will make this plant HUGE and FAT...just remember...be super skimpy on the amounts used!

48 hours in wet paper towel, after to the coco peat pellet. the pellets really expand, hydrate them first. I am not trying to be an example of coco medium, this is my first time working with it, diary for documentation. Once I had a good menu of nutrients I started to look at the coco. spent a good couple of weeks with free time to read about the coco, not as easy as prepared potting soil but a few have said it is good results once you get the hang of it. so i am set to go. I also have one seed from a retail cannabis package. It is from GAGE - Strawberry fire OG, Packaged AUG 2020, Purchased Sept 2021. One seed inside. I will see, it is in the wet paper towel at the moment. thanks and best to you's' day 7 from number one sprout: I am omitting the pH down 2 feedings now, little yellow tone in the first two seedling, going to balance straight forward from now on. number one seedling has now pushed up, ready for calmag tomorrow , number two is 7 days on thursday but looking like a good push start still a bit tall although straight. i will be rotating calmag - root booster for the first week of feeding. the pH down is a powerful concentrate, 6.5 to a hard 4 with a few drops in a 4L. wow! so I am using one 4L as a pH down to get a rusty orange (that is on pH water drops for the feedings). I have not tested but I think the root booster and calmag will pH down as is, so I am looking to pre-mix each in separate 4L. (20-12-21 4:20PM) ** interesting observation - I am used to wet paper towel to (as some say ) "pop the seed" which in my experience results in a tail like growth, (that is a few drops of water on seed between paper towel between saucers). but with a cup of slightly warmer than room temperature water covered in foil, the result was a seed split down the middle like a clam looks. ok thanks! - number three was germinated in cup of water.

Another pretty solid week in the books on these girls. I did have my first real issue though and totally my fault. I have been topping with a mix of nutrients and just plain RO water and have not been adding in my calmag to the RO water and a few leaves showed some signs of deficiencies but I think I have corrected the issue pretty quickly. I may be adding a second trellis because these girls are growing like crazy, I am very glad I put the net up when I did, spreading these girls out and providing some support seems like it was 100% needed. I am still learning and figuring out what and when to defoliate and remove some things. I did a bit of defoliation on Friday and tried to clean up the bottoms of these girls a bit under the net. I know I am going to need another round of that, but I will give them a few more days to recover. I am still keeping the nutrient strength relatively low and seems to be working out just fine. My environment, temps, rh, and water temps are all staying in pretty ideal conditions. Grow seems to be going well, just need more experience and practice with training and defoliation, but its been a blast! As always, any tips, comments, and recommendations always welcomed and appreciated! Thanks!πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š
