Continue into week 4
Update firmware on TrolMaster Tent-X (3.6)
Replace all filters, remove and clean drain buckets and tubing.
Mix new batch with 56ml AN connoisseur AB + 4.5g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 30l @ 1.34EC. NPK Ratio is 1-2-3 , Cal/Mg ratio is 4-1.5
Target EC for this week is 1.2 start and end week with 1.3. Checking plants will determine timing of strength
Donne one pass off long misting (3min) with diluted solution @ 0.84@C
Set Day/Night misting cycle @ 60s ON time
Finally have time for managing canopy, pull down taller branches and position all tops to fit under screen without touching. Try ro spread them evenly across the net, top per square of net
Defoliating all girls, remove all fan leaves and prune lots of smaller branches from middle. Lot of foliage is removed!
After stripping humidity drop significantly (41%) , need to install humidifier again to keep RH @ 50-52%
Set dehumidifier thermostat to work @ 50% RH. Reduced light intensity for this day, let girls recover from stress

All girl looking great after defoliation,)
Clean benches and floor in box
Replace all filters
Set dehumidifier thermostat to work @ 47% during night times, 50% @ day. Humidifier is also connected and set @ 49% Day and 45% @ night, if needed
Inkbird humidity controller stop executing's automation for day/night settings. Start manually to change day/night values for now
Next several days, until weekend, temperatures outside will be high , 29c max. Hope it will not raise temperature in box to much.
Light is set on TrolMaster Tent-X controller to dimmed at 28c
AC Infinity fans are set to AUTO mode with height temp set at 26c and high RH set at 54%
Top up tank with 25ml AN connoisseur AB + 4.5g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 75l @ 1.34EC

Refilled the tanks with 20l of fresh mixture. 25ml AN connoisseur A+B + 3g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 20l @ 1.21EC
Refilling is done in two passes, one time before light up, and second time early in morning, two hours before night time.
This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill solution is @ 18c
Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC.
I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, I’ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH.
Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washing… Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters.
The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants.
Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye.
The wave of warm weather continues all this week. Expected temperatures for the next seven days range from 25-29c. Need to pay attention to that
Raise light 10cm, top of canopy now is around 50-55cm

What a great week!! These plants are looking soooo much better, their color is starting to improve.. These Kritial-K are my absolute favorite in the tent, once this grow is over we may buy sevral packs of this.. they're easy, forgiving and look to be massive producers with a little training.. Verdict is still out on smoke quality but if its anything like our last Kannabia strains, its prob a winner..
The Solux is at 75$/14" and im starting to wonder if we'll even need to turn it to 100%.. they're getting more than enough light like this but we may increase power for the last 3-4 weeks of flower (a light meter would be a great one day lol).. not too much else to report, I think we're in for smooth sailing until harvest at this point.. thanks as always for checking us out and happy harvests everyone!!!

this diary is a week ahead. will get in back in line soon. day 0-7 to be as week 1 not including the germ week.
This banner kept much shorter than its brother. its also in a slightly shallower tub of soil so this one is flowering a bit quicker than its counterpart too. to keep it at the same height as all my others ive raised it from the floor slightly and then put the screen over top to bend the top cola. buds forming nicely now. i said fuck it. full organic feed for you.! nutes then fresh water twice then nutes again. deinking now a litre every 3 days. hardy plant but a couple white spots on the leaves... slight calmag to give prob.. end of week 5 flowering up to day 35. week 6 as of 36-->
ps if anyone has a spare grow tent that they could donate me that would help a brother out ;)
day 40. adjusted to normal schedule

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out.
15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure.
The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F.
The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher.
This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

Hey everyone :-)
This week a lot has happened 🤗🍀.
The 5 that are already in the 12/12 cycle explode day after day 😍😅.
All others have been repotted, and will remain in the vegi phase for 1-2 weeks.
Otherwise there is not much to say 😃.
I wish you all a good start into the week, let it grow and stay healthy 🙏🏻🍀🌱

The end of week 1 has arrived. We all know how it goes. Just playing the waiting game. At this stage these girls are just working on building their root system. The roots should be hitting the reservoir in the bottom of the buckets soon then they should take off. Got the water pumping and the lights beaming 24 hours a day. Running a low dose of maxigro. Keeping the ph around 6. Will probably be topping them around day 12. Would be amazing if I can get them ready to switch to flower at the end of week 3. But for now I'm just going to check on them 420 times a day hoping they don't die. Might be back next week if they are alive. Happy growing!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step.
21/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,5ml of each: Grow, Bloom and Max, and 1ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed almost no run off, I use about 1/3 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 200/300PPM (500 scale).
Did some light pruning also.

These plants are loving life.
Upped the food a bit this week, the dinamed was looking a little hungry.
I will snip clones clones tomorrow.
Hopefully I will have the flowering setup finished soon so I can move these girls over.
