10/11/24 she had gotten so overly dry that she was impossible to water. i had to scrape and break of the dry spots all around the soil and root ball so that water could penetrate. she was root bound from a solo cup and then as well from 1 gallon to 3 gallon. once the rootbound spots got overly dry, they became super hydrophobic and i didnt realize how bad it was. that may be what's been affecting the over all health of the plant. finally able to get her to hold weight in water so im hopefull 10/15 pistils are getting thrown out everywhere. a bit of a stretch so far but not too much. maybe a couple inches or

2nd week of flower and shes going hard! sun 1.5 inches mon 12.5 tues 13.5 wed 15.0 Thurs 16.0 Friday 18.0. Woo look at her go! Sat 19.5 did minor, very minor LST. just enough to help guide the tops out for light. only removed leaves really blocking bud sites. like 4-6 total. Smooth and easy for now! Very exciting!

This is the start of my second grow and also second Northern Light Auto from RQS, the goal is to hit #1 in g/plant for that Strain. I didn't take as many notes as in the last grow but there are timelapses, some photos and metrics from probes. Started with 3 Seeds and then picked the 2 strongest. The System is a NFT System but due to the size of the tube and root growths the solution with submerge the roots ~70% later on. To combat that I use 3 small 1.5w air pumps, these are super silent, if one dies I got 2 more running and to be honest air pumps used in DWC systems are often oversized and rely on Broscience. In my Salad/Herb NFT Systems I don't use any air pumps and the plants are just fine and grow great. This time I added sprinklers to humidify the air inside the tube, slightly moisturize the Rockwool and speed up root growths. Spoiler: Was a great success :) The ratios for the fertilizers are not accurate in the following weeks, I have a 120l Reservoir that is filled 90-110l I top it up once or twice a week to sustain PH and EC, if you want to copy it just go by the EC and use the B (Calcinit) and A (Kristalon Blue/Orange) 50/50. I mix the solution myself with dry salts that I bought in bulk 25kg bags. 4l Water(distilled/RO preferably, tap water is OK) + 1kg salts mixes just fine, keep the solution dark and cool and it will stay stable for months. Dry salts don't expire if kept cool and dry so only mix what you need and keep the rest stored as dry salts. 40ml A + 40ml B is about 2EC and 6PH with my tap water, very similar to Canna, Plagron etc. isn't it? just with the twist that I pay ~20% of the known brands. P2O5, K2O, MgO etc. are always the same as long as they are produced by a good manufacturer, Yara is a world leader in fertilizer production just not to be found in you general hydroponics or hardware store. Any other known manufacturer is fine as well, pick the cheapest. Check Hoocho on Youtube to see a guide on how to mix your own solutions, it ain't that difficult trust me. From week 5 onwards I also use Oxygen granulate (KMPS, CAS-70693-62-8, 2KHSO₅ * KHSO₄ * K₂SO₄) if you want to use this check pool supply stores and buy the cheapest. Keep this one dry, cool and dark. I used a old pill bottle to keep some ready to go because it came in a 1kg container and I only need 2-4g per serving + the bottle has a silica pack in the cap. From week 6 onwards I used Haifa Grow Clean for Details check week 6, I use this one as dry salts and add it directly to the tank, it does not interact in a bad way with the solution. For meassurements I use a generic 8in1 Meter "PH-W218" branded by many companies, as usual, check stores and buy the cheapest. (Check week 1 for an image of it) I got mine from Aliexpress for ~70€ it uses the Tuya app so you can always check your metrics and export them aswell. The PH and EC probe are accurate and are giving me stable results for almost 1 year now, I re calibrate the PH probe once in a while and it is tops 0.15 off after a month, always double check your results with PH drops/paper. Bluelab is... A LOT more expensive for less value. For the timelapses I use 2 Tappo C210 2k Cameras, these have the ability to make the stream available trough RTSP so that you can access it trough a link in a browser and that way I snap a Screenshot with a raspberry pi :) after that I just render it with blender to a timelapse. Sadly they seem to have trouble with the bright lights and I get image trouble over the course of the day, if you have a recommendation hit me up :) The script I use to take the Images: #!/bin/bash ########################################################################################################################################## ##### A script to save images from a rtsp capeable IP cam, Tapo C210 (2k image quality) for example in my case. ##### Images are saved in a directory named "2024_01_01" for example, it uses the "date" command within the system it is running on. ##### You can then render the images to a timelapse, I use blender for that. ########################################################################################################################################## RTSP_URL_LEFT="rtsp://:@:/stream1" #sets the variable for cam LEFT access RTSP_URL_RIGHT="rtsp://:@:/stream1" #sets the variable for cam RIGHT access while true; do TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S") #sets the timestamp variable DIRECTORYLEFT=/$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") #sets the directory variable with current day for LEFT DIRECTORYRIGHT=/$(date +"%Y_%m_%d") #sets the directory variable with current day for RIGHT mkdir -p "${DIRECTORYLEFT}" #makes a directory for each day if it doesn't exist for LEFT mkdir -p "${DIRECTORYRIGHT}" #makes a directory for each day if it doesn't exist for RIGHT ffmpeg -y -i "${RTSP_URL_LEFT}" -frames:v 1 -vf "format=yuvj420p" "${DIRECTORYLEFT}/${TIMESTAMP}.jpg" #captures a frame from the RTSP stream and save it as a JPEG image for LEFT ffmpeg -y -i "${RTSP_URL_RIGHT}" -frames:v 1 -vf "format=yuvj420p" "${DIRECTORYRIGHT}/${TIMESTAMP}.jpg" #captures a frame from the RTSP stream and save it as a JPEG image for RIGHT ################################################################################################################################ ##### Waits for 180 seconds, change that depending on how precise you want the timelapse to be, less waiting = more images ################################################################################################################################ sleep 180 done Hope you like my diary, leave a comment and a like if you like it :)

Critical x Animal Cookies is just about done bulking. She will likely be switched to ph water in the next week. She is really nice, and frosty. She has been growing under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She struggled in the beginning, but is gonna finsh with some nice colas. Nothing else to report at the moment. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Probably a week to two weeks ahead of all of my photoperiod plants. Not producing resin yet. Growing big, I’m expecting about 3-4oz from this girl.

Week 7 of flower,room is a bit to cold but they are very close to finishing. 👍🏾

Eine sehr schöne Sorte hat mir sehr gefallen

Primera semana en la que se ve una mejoría en general de las plantas. Me hubiese gustado anotar aquí el día de germinación y transplante a tierra, datos a considerar.

CHERRY 🍒 COLA by FASTBUDS WEEK #3 June 15th-22nd Week #2 Veg This week she's doing great outside no issues to report this week. She's made the transition to outside effortlessly.

This week the humidity and temperature are better now than last week. We flushed and the water at pH 6.6. The flowers have also gained weight and the trichomes are becoming cloudy and it is already possible to find some amber. In the mornings we are trying to let her receive sunlight every day.

Entramos en prefloracion, estiran cada dia! Mucho calor aun pero aguantan bien!

It’s working, she’s stretching and spacing out between those nodes! Just needed to raise those lights more.

After a questionable start, she's up and going, so the grow off is official! I have plugged in some organic items into a Pro Mix HP base to get this lady out of the blocks organically and get that root system spread out through the nursery pot. I fed some wicking cord through the drainage holes to make a sip system, basically bottom watering to deepen the root system development. I layered the soil into the pot so the available nutrients increase as the roots descend. I added a little mycorrhizae in the soil where the seed was placed to get things cooking and used Recharge adjusted to 6.0 pH to buffer my amended starter mix. Now that she's showing a little more vigor, I'm adding a little Kelp, CalMag+, and MegaCrop for her to sip on... A little organo-salt treatment that will make sure she's got all she needs available to allowing her to really blow up!

Wirklich ein toller strain hat Spaß gemacht und wird irgendwann wiederholt. Das Testergebnis ist der Durchschnitt der raus kam. Und das Hasch ist Ice o later 45-92 micron seit 3 wochen cold cured
