Bad Guy got hit with a heavy salt buildup, measuring around 1500ppm in the runoff. Planning to flush it during the next two feedings and see how it responds. Keeping fingers crossed for a swift recovery! 🌿🤞

had big bud over the weekend, The soil was very dry when I came in on Monday so give it 2 litres hopefully last the next day or 2. Still very tempted to defoliate but unsure if it is the right time or what to remove. Decided to try and defoliate it a bit. see if it has any impact. still a bit worried about things like this what wiht it being my first plant

Hello, semaine 6 de croissance. Les plantes se portent bien. Les 2 plus petites on finis par rattraper les autres,, elles sont presque toutes a la même hauteur. Elles arrivent juste sous le filet. je vais donc pouvoir commencer à faire mon scrog!👍 J’ai aussi réalisé une défoliation des parties basses pour optimiser la circulation de l’air. C’est tout pour cette semaine. Happy grow...😎

Total Days: 63 Flower Nights: 20 Some consistent development across the canopy. The last Zoap (back-left corner) is the slowest of the bunch but not more than 3-5 days behind the most developed plant. This bodes well as far as not having too large of a harvest window from fastest to slowest development. Trichome development is visible on a few of the plants. This is usually a good sign when you can see them before end of 3rd week, but doesn't necessarily mean any of the others are lacking. Still plenty of time and I expect them all to have a nice dense coating by the end. Garlic Storm^2 is stretching like crazy, as expected. The first zoap pictured is also a lanky girl but a couple inches shorter than GS^2. The rest of theh canopy is roughly the same stature. Going to allow those 2 plants to remain closer unless I see some damage to pistils. The 2nd to last Zoap has some awesome node spacing and warranted a couple extra pictures. I pruned off lower, weak axilla on FD14 - 1 day after last update. Feeling good about my choices as well as timing. Should result in an easier trim and maintain grams per square foot production. I never tried to refine this in a systematic way, but I am putting in the effort the last two grow cycles to remedy that. Some plants retained a bit more lower growth just so I can compare the results and make better choices in future grows. Mostly done training the plants. Colas are well-spaced. Wih another week of strong growth coming and then tailing off, the remaining gaps in canopy should fill completely. Effectively reduced necessary pruning and wasted growth/resources/time with good timing flipping to flower phase. A couple plants could be spread out slightly more. I'll tug those branches outward from center with some garden wire this week. Nitrogen ppm reduced to 99 - a little under 25% drop in total from vege formula. There was an intermediary step down on last reservoir refill, too. While some concentration levels shifted a bit, most stayed consistent to what was provided in vegetative phase, unlike nitrogen levels. Rounded to nearest integer: N 99 P 67 K171 Ca 91 Mg 76 S 101 So far avoiding the extra lushness that often creeps in mid-to-late flower in my typical grow cycle. Will know more about these adjustment over the next 2-3 weeks. It's been a slow work in progress the last few cycles. Splitting hairs at this point in regard to formula adjustments, but slightly healthier plants can't hurt, right? Phosphorous levels are higher than I prefer, but it is a necessary evil to maintain Ca levels, that I prefer were more than 10% higher as is. The canopy is finally providing enough moisture on its own. Dehumidifier is now turned on and avoiding RH levels greater than 65%. The hygrometer on this dehum is off by 10% or more. As the data rolls in, i'll get it fine-tuned to a roughly 60% average based on expected temperatures. Really enjoying this run. Despite the hiccup with the humidifier wick, all the minor adjustments to improve future grows are working out well and will be incorporated going forward. Improvements to the grow setup have improved functionality or reduced effort invested. ------------------ Music: "Nickel Bags" by Digable Planets

Started with a plain water feed. I’ll do a couple nute feeds before I start the flushing.

I watered them with 250ml and 400uS/cm each. I use the photone app to meassure the luminosity and they are receiving 7000lux aprox. They are all doing well. Although Juana has grown more than de others, they all look pretty happy so far. I plan to increase the light intensity at the end of this week since they won´t be babies anymore sooner than later. Today 22 is second week last day and they are starting to grow noticeably each day. This week I raised the EC to 400uS/cm and watered the plants with 250ml, so I just had to water them again with plain ph balanced water one more time during the week and that was practically it with watering. I also raised luminosity by switching 2 more LED bulbs and getting them all closer to the canopi, about 50cm. that is about 10000 lux in the meter I still spray them all day with ph balanced water, maybe next week I'll spray them with a little bit of Algafort, that can be used in foliar spraying. Humidity stayed at +-58% the last 2 days even with the little humidifier and me spraying them all day. I'm trying to raise RHs so next week I'm planning to lower de temp to 22-23 °C hoping humidity raises more naturally. Next week we also will start with a little of CO2 that is always well recieved.

This little lady is super cute she sadly was to close to the light and got a tad of light burn but she looks good and I am hoping for as small as she is she will do good moving into flowering stage! I will add flowering nutrients in her next feeding!

OVERALL: ~ Very happy with the grow, I really dialled everything in well this run. ~ She grew super fast, I put it down to the constant oxygenation of the rootzone along with consistent and constantly optimized light DLI and leaf to air temp variance. The extra Co2 helped push the plant to its limit in terms of heat, allowing it to push its hardest. ~ The lack of HST and Defoliation I feel let it finish faster due to lack of stress and stunting. The faster finishing time along with the big yield and efficient MarsHydro light, it hugely reduced my electricity costs per gram and freed up space much sooner for the next plant. ~ Turned into a very dense bush of buds, there is even smokable dense buds at the base of the plant due to the under canopy lighting (Not as dense as top canopy buds but still decent) ~ Ran a thin line between stressing the plant and letting it flourish. The buds came out big and very dense, also it's hard to see on camera but they're very frosty too (Prob from UVB) YIELD: ~ 145g (dry) in just 9 weeks from seed. ~ 753g (Wet) ~ 0.91g/watt GENETICS: ~ MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! STRAIN REVIEW: ~ Heavy hitter, like an indica but has some of that "feel it in your face" sensation of a strong sativa. Not as heavy or as strong as other GG#4's I have smoked, which would make me question the genetics used to produce the auto version. I will wait till after a cure and judge it again. TRAINING: ~ No defoliation or HST (Bar last week for pics) ~ A little LST and leaf tucking but largely just left the plant alone to do its thing. I felt chopping healthy parts off the plant would slow the plant down and leave it with less chlorophyll to photosynthesize the light. ~ I did prune by lightly plucking dead leaves away, when the plant was ready to let them go easily. DRYING ~ 20/21'C 50% RH with air circulation. ~ Homemade Drybox made using: 2 x Bankers Boxes ~ 2 x USB Desk Fans ~ 1 x Carbon Filter ~ 6 x Clothes Hangers UPDATE: Day 5 after Harvest: ~ Fast dried some small batches, as we couldn't wait to sample. ~ Chopped off branches as some are down to 12% moisture whilst bigger buds are up at 18%. Moving to paper bag for couple of days to even moisture out then transferring to jars CURING: ~Curing in jars 3/4 full. ~ Dark closet/18'C/50% RH ~ Jars burped once Hygro passes 65% and sealed when it drops to 58%. ~ Stabilised it at 62% and after 2 weeks I'll drop it some more and stabilise it at 58% to bring out more of the flavour. ~Sitting in jars with Boveda 62% at this stage. ~ Already tastes and feels great. WATER: ~ Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) ~ Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: ~ Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C ~ Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C ~ Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) ~ Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) ~ VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) ~ Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: ~ Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) ~ Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) ~ Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: ~ UVB (High intensity @ 45cm) ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. ~ Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) ~ At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 ~ Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: ~ Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) ~ Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) ~ Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e ~ PPE, Alcohol Hand wash ~ Gray room outside tent, ~ Carbon filter ~ HEPA filter ~ Plasma Ionizer ~ Inline UV-C germicidal bulb ~ Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. ~ Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. ~ Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

week 2 : Auto Colorado Cookies in Vertafort So i just fixed my fan on day 6, vpd has been creeping upward the last two days and especially today towards 1.1 , got slightly better air circulation so hopefully the pot will dry quicker from now on. Will probably water 3 pints of water with aloe and cal mag each around 120 ppm, top her up with light mix soil (potting soil aka peat moss) , she's getting night time sprays of amino acids now to balance out the soil pH towards 6.5 , sprayed once with kelp and cal mag ph-ed with GHE dry pH down at 0.1 grams to get it to 6.0 but rain is 5.5 so i pray i'm okay, might do even less ph down next time. completely low maintenance yet she might be the first of the wet bunch to get topped off and watered once dry 🚀

I harvested four plants today, putting 884 grams of wet flowers into the dry tent. I am trying to keep the environment as close as possible to 60F / 60% RH, but with the current temperatures, I will be lucky to keep it around 65. I am looking forward to the terpenes moving towards the skunky aromas.

This grow had its up and downs but I must say I’m very happy with the out come with over 2 pounds. One of the plants gave me 7.5 ozs alone. Now I’m on to my next journey after my grow room reset. I will be running some fast buds white widow auto and jack herer auto in the grow ace air Cube be on the look out for that journal. Thanks for all who kept looking and liking the journal. Lots of more fun content coming soon.

Inicio da 4° semana vamos no dia 20 com muita força, adicionei agora ao plano de alimentação rinho skin e sensizym para limpar as raizes para pernanecerem brancas e engrossar os ramos strain vigorosa 100% indica estou a gostar Como da pra ver no video houve um pequeno acidente a fazer lst, uni onde rasgou e pus papel vegetal a volta a segurar bem, vamos ver se ela cura.. continua com boa cor e nao se foi abaixo nem uma vez! Esperar uns dias, se nao curar vou cortar e fica um top acidental kkk Ja curou o pequeno corte que tinha no ramo principal, decidi exprimentar fazer um supercrop, é a primeira vez espero que tudo de certo.. Em geral esta ser uma boa semana nada a apontar nestas meninas, a ir muito bem! 😏😁

Day 35 Sprayed With .1 Bras Finally LSTd the 4 main stalks of each plant. They have rebounded from the toppings on day 34. This week is to prepare the plants for flower Aiming for a .95VPD Began brewing Tricantonol, liquid Karma, Calmag and Southern Ag Microbes for a Tea later this week The video shows the training structure. Day 37 Gave the tric brew to the plants. Plants responded well. Also did a final Lollipopping before flower Day 39 Watered with no Macro Nutes. Taking one quart of water every 2 days
