*If anyone read through my GDP diary, this is going to be mostly the same stuff. So, sad day friends. I got spider mites and had to throw all my plants out. This is what I think happened: About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed some freckling on the lower leaves. I looked at it and thought it might be a cal/mag issue so I added cal/mag that week and went about my business. I saw it about a week later and it wasn't getting any better so I added more cal/mag. This continued for about 2-3 weeks until I finally took off a leaf and examined it under my microscope. I saw little bugs crawling everywhere and my stomach just dropped. My fiance did some quick research while I was panic ripping leaves off (see pictures) and she correctly diagnosed it as spider mites. I debated with myself and my close friend and ultimately I decided to throw all the plants in my tent away. I know that there are a lot of people who will say that there are things I could have done to make it to harvest but what it came down to is the people I take care of and personal pride. I consider myself a caregiver and I give away product for free that I am not going to use to my family and close friends. I thought to myself "Would you smoke this?" and when my answer was "ehhh, I don't know", I thought about how it would feel giving it away and immediately made the decision to destroy them. I take an immense amount of pride in my product and this hobby and if I am not going to stand behind it I would rather just start over. I grow from my heart (shout out to the Grow From Your Heart Podcast!) to help people and make sure my family is not getting unsafe product from sketchy people. To spray pesticides in flower that may hurt people and have little bug carcasses in there just goes against that in every way and is just wrong in my opinion if you are giving it away to others. If you are the only one smoking it then it is one thing to take that risk but not with your patients. I want my medicine to help people, not create or exacerbate health issues. It is also important to note that the mites had moved from my flower tent into my veg space and took over my auto berry as well. Damn things are crafty and fast. So that is why I made the decision to destroy them all after 3+ months of res changes, pruning, and manifolding on a slow vegging strain. Feel free to chime in with your opinion but I do not regret my decision. I threw out my new clones, mother plant, and auto berry I had on my veg side as well. Shout out to all the other growers out there that do the right thing by their patients. Caregivers > Cash croppers. For anyone curious, I removed everything from my tent and scrubbed it all with a 20% bleach/water solution. All equipment has been wiped down and stored in the garage away from any organic materials. I will give them until tomorrow (2 days) to air out and dry and then I will wipe it down again with bleach and wait another 2 days. Hopefully that will make sure everything is dead and will not come back next grow. That next grow should start in about a week. It sucks but sometimes it happens and you gotta be ready for it. Lesson learned. Never bring outdoor plants into your indoor garden even if it is after just a day or two. A bunch of people on here and Reddit warned me and I did not listen. Now I have learned the hard way and it feels like when your parents "told you so" haha. Thanks to everyone who stopped by along the way. Stay tuned for a new grow coming soon. It is going to be some cool new limited edition Mephisto Illuminautos. I am pretty excited. Good luck out there and always grow from your heart folks. -Grim

Na primeira semana de floração a preocupação aqui no meu grow, é com relação ao espaço. Vou ter que providenciar algum suporte para distribuir melhor as flores dentro do foco de luz e sustentar o peso depois que os buds começarem a engordar. A nutrição segue com a mesma base porem com menos nitrogênio e mais fósforo, potássio, cálcio e magnésio.

Harvested some more buds that were ready, left the rest to mature, because why not 😁 Won't be long for the rest to finish.

Permanent Marker has stalled in growth a little. I think it has had a bit too much nitrogen. I'm not worried as I'm sure it'll all work out in the end 😅 5.9.25: I decided the plant was ready for some training, I FIM'ed her. Hopefully I can just tie the odd branch down, when we get to that stage. Here is what I did this week. 4.9.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 . 25 TSP Biosys PH: 6.5 PPM: 365 9.9.25: I watered with 1.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4, with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 361 Thanks for stopping by this week and hanging out 😁💚✌️🌱🧡🤞

Overall, the Girls are doing great. #2 is still showing some nitrogen excess, but is doing well. I’ve adjusted her feeding specifically in hopes to correct. #1 is not showing the same issue, and is motoring along. Both are stacking nicely, and are bringing on some smell now, and are sticky to the touch. I estimate about 3 weeks more, but who really knows with Autoflowers? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Day 15 21/5 . Plant #1 is going amazing. very happy with the recent development. Considering a transplant in a week to its final 18L soil pot. Plant #2 still breathing. Everyday gone my hopes go lower. Plant #3 is finally out of the soil. I'm so happy to have a 100% germination rate in this batch. Great job Barney's Farm. - Moving from here on full diary on a separate and individual one. Link coming soon. Temps have been great, 19 with lights off, 26 lights on. RH levels go from 70% in the lights off, down to 30% in the day. Regarding the replies to my second question: First of all thank you for your help. Now, the extractor is running in the minimum speed already it has incorporated thermostat. Think it's really a bit too powerful. And yes, I only turn it off a couple hours in the night to raise the RH inside the grow, that's been helping me getting better results for the lights on period. Day 16 22/5 - Plant #1 continues growing great. Leaves have a daily growth that amazes me. Maybe a little short, if I compare with the height of the #3. Looking to transplant it during the weekend to the final 18l pot. Keeps drinking water very well, and is reacting well to the humidifier. Plant #2 still there. Not sure when, but I'll just throw it very soon Day 17 23/5 - Plant #1 is getting nice big leaves, but not as tall I as expected for this stage. Today was transplanted to the final 18l pot during night time, and watered with bio roots. Plant #2 is gone. unfortunately, turning it upside down wasn't such a good idea, should have waited a little longer and the outcome would have been different. I noticed I was keeping my lights too far, so went down to 45cm (ish). Hopefully the plant won't stress from transplant, and the lights aren't too close. RH is finally going up inside the grow to more acceptable levels. 40% with light on and up to 70% with light off. I also made a little change in my passive intake, to create more negative pressure, and the result is immediately visible when closing the tent. Day 18 24/5 - Plant #1 Reacted well to both the transplant and the light approximation. Nice response and stretch as you can see on the pictures above. As both plants reacted well and showed no signs of heat stress, lights went a little more down, closer to the plants. The closer the better, so let's see tomorrow the result. Keep feeding with the nuts mix I made earlier this week,switching to water when it's finished and then a new week should begin. RH looks stable 40% day 70% night. Night temp oscillates between 17 and 19, nice and cool for the ladies. Nice numbers, makes me happy. Day 19 25/5 - Plant #1 keep its natural development, love to see her in the day, has a beautiful green color and also the leaves looks quite nice Temperatures today got a little higher in the grow, touching the 30's during day time, and consequently de RH went to 32%. Also got a few of this bug stickers to help prevent with possible intruders Day 20 26/5 - #1 Start to consider topping it soon, got the 3 branches already. Not sure if should wait for another set of branches comes out. No feeding today, yesterday gave it enough so it looks like it can take another day to dry. The temps were at 19.5 and RH was 62% - off time I leave you guys also a video of the grow with the lights off just made. I'm quite proud of it, let's see how it goes! Day 21 27/5 - #1 growing steady. Love her so much 😍It hasa really nice green, leaves are quite strong. Love the way they bounce back when touched. Definitely the plants are enjoying the work of the circulation fans. Inside the tent things are looking nice, even though the RH is still low in the peak of the day. 30% only today. In the night can get it up to 70% if wanted but day time is getting a little hard. Temperatures are nice, 27 on, 18 off

Switching to full flower nutrients, she loved the transplant, starting with half the recommended doses, growing some hairs so its te perfect moment to apply some Big One 1ml/l + TopBloom 2ml/l twice a week, to boost hairs growing and to create more bud spots. She really is turning in to a little bush i really like the structure ^^

Topped the plants this week. I didn't top the first plant because well it topped itself already. It even seems like it's doing it again. When you look at the top foto the left shoot seems to be splitting again. Very curious to how it will develop, but i'm a little worried because the main stem looks a little bit thin. The fifth plant has some yellow discoloration which i dont's see on the other plants.

WEEK 11 - 17/4/2021 - 23/4/2021 17/4/2021 - 20 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 76ml Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 60ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Bloom - 2.5ml/Gal - 50ml Fulvic acid - 2.5ml/gal - 50ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Nitrozyme - 0.5ml/L - 40ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 18/4/2021 - Plant 1 Moby Dick is the tallest and I have been consistently supercropping it to maintain even canopy with the other 3 plants. When the other 3 pkants have caught up with the growth, the suppercropped branch is straitened back and a soft twist tie. 21/4/2021 - I'll be away for few days. So I decided to go back Autopot for the few days I wont be around. I think it should be fine. Once I'm back, I'll go back to top feed and fertigate enough to have significant run off to wash off all the salt build up. 10 gallon of water mixed with the following - Cal Mag - 3ml/Gal - 30ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Bloom - 3ml/Gal - 30ml pH - 6.28 EC - 1.12 mS/cm T - 25 22/4/2021 - the Autopot idea didn't work out. The new tubing I got was 1mm bigger than its supposed to be. And thus caused leakage at all the connections. Well back to top watering then. But the plants won't be watered for two nights. I really hope they'll be able to hold on till I come back.

Start by saying 2 are in flush now! (Black cream and sunset sherbet) I used flawless finish on them and then water from then on! Started to see some fades within a few days with the black cream and sunset sherbet leaves have lightened up, just awaiting some fades! And I’m watching under a 50x loupe to aim for the perfect harvest! The aromas are crazy in there got all sorts going on until I touch one and identify it’s aromas but as expected everything is going to be full of terps and resin! On the end road now! Flush next feeds for the purple punch and forbidden runtz! I’ve added a picture of the royal creamatic I took out as it’s just jumped into flower! Glad I took her out now too as she has some coverage and I wouldn’t want to lose no light at this stage! End result with dynomyco! IS… use it highly recommend. I’m using it in all my grows from now on! It’s a great additive providing your plants with a lot more beneficial bacteria that aid the myco and allow the plant to uptake nutrients better and gain a lot more stability so it’s a must! Contest or no contest I’m glad I got to use it or how would I have known! Thank you Ari 🙌🏽🙏🙏🙏💚

July 27: Chemdawg is flowering nicely. Despite the late start for this auto, she’ll definitely be the first one finished this year. I’m looking forward to enjoying some nice Chemdawg weed in September. July 31: trying not to overwater but also not sure how much she needs. Looks good enough.
