Hey Guys! Super excited this week! I've really been wanting to try growing outdoors, so I built a cheap hoop house! Got most of this stuff for the frame from Lowes under 300$. All the soil products I got from GrowGreenMI. Some really cool people out there. One thing I'm super worried about is drainage. Right now those holes are about 4 feet deep and they've got about 4 inches of water in them already. What's been cautioned is that, eventually, about 2 months in these plants roots will grow and reach the bottom and cause root rot to form. One of the biggest things I was trying to be wary of was causing root rot. This was also the biggest precautionary measure I took when mixing the soil. Adding the extra perlite, coco, and clay pebbles. Best advice right now is to build the soil up on the holes another 16 to 18 inches and possible stick a PVC pipe down to the lowest drainage point of the hole to allow some of that natural occurring water to evaporate. Any advice anyone has on it is welcomed! Making a compost tea for the soil outdoors, will probably put 2 cups in each RDWC bucket as well and let that do it's magic for a day or so before nutrient change. Raised the bed about 14 inches as well! All the seeds sank! Off to a good start! Lol

Another new ac infinity t3 cloud forge came in!! Loving down humidity levels. Added with the rest of the ACI system in running.

Hi Growmies! This two lil ones look like ready to me, im bout to harvest them and probably in a couple of weeks ill share my review with u, them and probably las papaya alive is thriving, but im still a lil concerned about those low branch buds, they look less ready than the center. What you guys think? 💨🏻

Had some very good growth this week. Days 14-21. The girls have been dialed in at about 63-65% RH and 76-79 degrees F. On day 18 I dialed up my BP2500 to about 165 watts at the wall, and kept my small tent heater in place for the time being, nights have gotten cooler. The girls seem to be ❤️ the extra light, without causing any harm. Switched from distilled water to tap water that has been dechlorinated for 24 hours mid way through the week, no issues shown. Added 1 ml of Micro, and 1 ml of Cal/Mag to 1/2 gallon of water, PH’d to 6.2 and watered approx. 1/2cup of water per x2 throughout the week, and about 1 cup once transplanted. On day 21 they were all looking so healthy, with some roots coming from the bottom of my starter pots, I decided to transplant into 2 gallon nursery pots. My final pot will be a mix of 5 and 7 gallon fabric pots, try and see if any differences can be had.

Recovery at its finest, that's what you will see on week 4 around here! Guess who's loving the CO2 with high temperature? Thats right, all plants are! The comparison of last week with this week have such a difference, on day 24 I introduced a DIY CO2 bottle, the recipe consist in: -CO2- 2 cups of sugar 1 tablespoon of yeast 1 tablespoon of baking soda 1 later of warm water Mix all ingredients on a bottle, make a nail hole on the cap shake a little (when shaking put your finger on the nail hole, you should hear a hissssss when you release the hole) use it when lights are on, increase temperature to 30-35C, watch for high levels of humidity, and voila! Any other details you want to know ask way :) I haven't started any LST yet, I am waiting for a bit more growth to start bending, I have to make sure all 5 plants will have enough space inside this 2x4 tent. All suggestions are welcomed :) Thats is for now, Stay Lit folks!

7/18/21 - They are looking good! Harvest day is coming and we are excited. We have just a few days left. Giving ph 6.0 water. 7/19/21 - Everything looks good. On track for harvest! 7/20/21 - Looking good. Just a few more days left before we chop. The final ripening is going on. 7/21/21 - We are preparing the drying room. The buds look awesome! We have mason jars for curing after the dry. 7/22/21 - These plants stink so good! Tomorrow we cut both plants down! They will be drying in 70 degrees temp and 56% humidity. 7/23/21 - We pushed back harvest one day due to a medical emergency. No biggie, the plants will ripen one extra day. 7/24/21 - HARVEST DAY!! - We cut the plants, removed all fan leaves and hung in a temperature/humidity controlled room. More pics/videos/weight and more will be added when we are finished drying and we post our harvest results. The smell is of strong pine and a little sweet. We are very excited to try the smoke. (See video)

@twenty20mendocino Ateam R&D Update ~ Let’s Go day 77 for these girls an we are looking amazing! The Sangria Auto got her last flush today, 14 days flushed and will be going in the dark for 48 hrs a get her ready for the chop! ~ the Queen of Diamonds and VSOPs are looking like beasts ! These girls got massive , an we will continue to let them get bigger an veg out for another week or 2 and we will get em ready for the flip! Keep them eyes peeled for next week’s update yall! Hope y’all have an amazing productive day as well as a great safe weekend! Peace love an positive vibes to all y’all Cheers an Happy Easter weekend to y’all Blaze on 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

What can I say really 2 week veg and flipped a week ago and repotted and they have just exploded in growth By looks of it more room would of come in handy but have got 10 other plants in flower on other side of tent

Had to chop a few tops after 90s did not slow them down. Can't really bend em either they snap because of silica.. Snapped about 6, I was able to bend15 w/90s and cut 7 tops... Right in the lights. :/ Should still get plenty to smoke until next run.

Was topped once or twice, had a vegetative stage of 5 or so weeks (including seedling stage) Im always taking plants in and out and this was one i decided to take to flower late, knowing i had a "autopot 1pot" system coming (3) Found out today - if the fabric is clean and dosnt drop anything into the autopot tray, it seems to be fine! Ofcourse some genetics won't like the "wet feet", and could maybe use a riser because of this... But il test my luck! Have 2 Terpyz mutants in autopots... Not sure if il out them on a diary yet as they have been transitioned super early + could be males!

Hallo Growmies, Welcome everyone to the third week of the trip to Japan. This week the adventures started and we still have a bumpy road ahead of us before we reach the final destination. After we changed the nutrient solution she definitely seemed more happier .💦 So decided to start with the trainings, on Day 25 topped her and right after started with LST. I expect her to recover quickly from the early stress and start growing strong in the next 2 weeks. 🌱 On day 27 took off 4 big fan leaves. Till day 29 we continued tying the branches and checked and corrected the PH daily. Let the branches up for 2 days to regenerate then we tied them again. PPFD is around 600. Will keep this until the end of the veg period. Everything is going well but there was something to worry about again. I started giving powder silicate to the mix and left a gap between the net pot and the water. In the second day checked the root and noticed that silicate deposited in clumps on the part of the root which is between the net pot and the water. Luckily could wash it off with a shower. So that’s all for this week. See you soon!🌞🌱

Week started how I hoped. Rain stops and the sun is shining several hours per day. But it is still cloudy often.

Wow guys, look at all this sugar leaking out of these buds! I'm going to end up doing like Winnie the Pooh when I put my hand in the jar! I already know it!😅😅😅😅

Start of week 7 Day 51 was the hottest Day ever 😫

I love growing and i love the GD community, we are like a big canna family and its a pleasure and an honor to be part of this all. Thank you all for being here , for growing and believing in this beautiful healing plant . Growers love to you all

Quick kush is called quick for a reason 👌, nice big indica leaves starting to grow and stretch pretty fast, i had to re pot one of the girls so one of them might look a bit sad but she will get better (its the salts) Flushing and Buffering- I am personally using Canna Coco Coir,mix with one brick of plagron coco coir(had one left). 1. Why you Should buffer your Coco. Lets get to reading! (Its Worth it for those that dont know about it) There are cation exchange sites in coco that will interfere with nutrition until they are buffered. The cation exchange sites in coco naturally come loaded with sodium (Na) and potassium (K) cations. However, the Na and the K are only weakly held to the exchange sites. In the presence of calcium (Ca) or magnesium (Mg), the sites will release their Na or K cations and lock onto the Ca or Mg. These processes are known as “cation exchanges”. Buffering coco is accomplished by soaking it in Ca and Mg. This allows the cation exchanges to take place prior to adding plants. Simply soak your coco in a solution of Cal/Mag water and the exchange sites will release their K and Na cations and lock onto the Ca and Mg. When the cation exchange sites bond with Ca and Mg rather than Na and K, it is “buffered”. The bonds that hold the Ca and Mg to the sites are very strong and cation exchange will largely stop. This means that all of the nutrients that you add to the water will be available to the plant at the ratios that you provide them. 2. Alot of growers Grow in Unbuffered coco coir and its a big mistake guys, I myself was a "victim"😬of unbuffered coco and it does cause alot of problems... now i am going to try and fix them! -----GROWING IN UNBUFFERED COCO--- Many growers are unaware of the need to buffer the coco and they try to grow plants in unbuffered coco. In unbuffered coco, the cation exchange sites will strip the nutrient solution of the Ca and Mg and replace those cations with Na and K. This creates a sub-optimal Nutrient Element Ratio (NER) and renders Ca and Mg unavailable to the plant. Failing to buffer the coco is why so many growers suffer calcium deficiencies in coco grows. Manufacturers of prepared coco products try to exploit these problems and convince growers that only their proprietary products are suitable for growing. However, it is actually very simple to properly buffer your coco yourself. This tutorial walks you through the process and provides all the information you need to turn even the cheapest brick of dehydrated coco into a superior growing medium. I hope i Helped out someone who didnt know about this link on how to Buffer your Coco Coir is Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQi8AMMIyyA&t=18s 14/02/2019- I Decided tp raise up the amout of nutes and im giving them 1,5 ml per L so 15 ml's for 10 L / 2 Gallons of water

Al started flowering. Stunted plant was removed. Good health for the now 4 plants. Weather is good but very windy. All plants need support. This plant grows very well but the stem and canopy are not balanced.

Die Pflanze hat einen Wachstumsschub in die Höhe bekommen. Der PH-Wert ist jetzt konstant bei 5,5. Habe nochmal Dünger zugegeben. Der EC-Wert ist mit 2,3 glaube ich etwas zu hoch, aber dagegen mache ich nichts. Die anderen Pflanzen im Turm gedeihen prächtig. --------------------------- The plant has had a growth spurt in height. The pH value is now constant at 5.5 and I have added more fertilizer. I think the EC value is a little too high at 2.3, but I'm not doing anything about that. The other plants in the tower are thriving.

Gave her some water with magenesium and aloe vera powder. I ordered FHM Fulvic & Humid Acid + Trace Minerals. Will use it the next week as topdress.
