W9.D1(60) πŸŒΈβ°πŸŒŸπŸ‘€πŸ”§ I think the time has come to transition to flowering. 🌸 As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights ⏰ before, and I know that the standard is to switch to 12/12. However, I'd like to experiment with reducing the lighting by 30 minutes each day this week, aiming to reach 14/10. 🌟 This gradual approach will let us πŸ‘€ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care πŸ”§. 🌿πŸ”ͺπŸ“‰βœ‚οΈπŸ€² Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. 🌿 Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the πŸ”ͺ blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual πŸ“‰ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh βœ‚οΈ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach 🀲, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for. W9.D2(61) πŸ•ΆοΈπŸŒžπŸ“‰βœ‚οΈπŸŒ± Nothing special is happening. πŸ•ΆοΈ As the days continue, I am reducing the light 🌞 hours and gradually trimming the excess βœ‚οΈ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our 🌱 champion. πŸ€”πŸ’‘πŸŒΈπŸš«πŸŒΏ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. πŸ€” It's a delicate balance of stress πŸ’‘ and growth, where each cut 🚫 might impact her readiness to 🌸 bloom. πŸ βœ‚οΈπŸ€πŸ’ͺπŸ”— But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. 🏠 Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip βœ‚οΈ boosts the vitality πŸ’ͺ of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links πŸ”— to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) πŸ”„πŸ’§βž•πŸ”™ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. πŸ”„ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence πŸ’§ is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing βž• Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) πŸŒ±πŸŒΏπŸŒŸπŸ”πŸ“¦ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. 🌱 With her vigorous 🌿 growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. 🌟 Her ambition to explore beyond the πŸ” confines of her πŸ“¦ environment is both astounding and challenging. πŸ€”πŸ’‘πŸŒ±πŸ‘πŸŒŸ I'm not sure how I'll manage it, but the example set by @Chamomile with his compact yet extremely effective growing method is truly inspiring. πŸ€” While pondering this, the innovative πŸ’‘ approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, 🌱 greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of πŸ‘ applause for its efficiency and 🌟 brilliance. W9.D5(64) πŸ•’πŸŒžπŸŒ±πŸ‘€πŸŒΈ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. πŸ•’ Having adjusted the 🌞 light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we 🌱 observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage 🌸 right before our πŸ‘€ eyes. W9.D6(65) πŸŒ±πŸ“¦πŸ”„πŸŒΏπŸ’š The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. 🌱 As time πŸ”„ unfolds, our grow box πŸ“¦ becomes increasingly vibrant with 🌿 lush greenery, brimming with the πŸ’š essence of vitality.

This is my third attempt at my first successful grow, my two initial tries failed from not being aware of needing to add CalMag to RO water and was using Coco... Either way, germination began April 2nd using the paper towel method and bottled spring water, tap roots were long enough to be planted by the 4th. Planted the Blueberry into a solo cup with just Happy Frog, and the Wedding Cake Auto into a 5 gallon fabric pot with mostly Ocean Forest but a solo cup sized amount of Happy Frog were I planted the seed just to get it started without nute burning the seedling. After planting the seeds into the soil I watered each with about 20 mL daily of RO water with around 200ppm's of CalMag and they're doing great.

I think I am worrying myself more than I need too. The calicum defficiency has took over around a half of the fan leaves on 1 of the plants. I don't have much hope in a great yield from this one but fingers crossed my other 2 were caught in time. Have folder fed with a slightly more concentrated spray of cal mag and ph'd water. Whilst keeping a feed, plain ,feed schedule Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a ppm reader so can't say for sure exactly what the problem is but It seems the defficiency has slowed/stopped. Will continue to monitor.

Building up! Hey pals, this week went pretty fine, she finally stopped stretching at 99cm and the lady drinks like never before. Buds are finally building up. I count to give the next weeks just plain water to flush away all the nuts she absorbed during the cycle. Smell start to be strong, but a sort of sweat and delicate smell... hmmm like a Gelato cream 😍😍😍🍨🍨🍨... Delicious... Some buds are more mature than others and the main branches are far away from being ready. I cannot wait to update this diary in the next 2 weeks and see how she get. Will keep you guys posted, stay tuned stay high!

Plants become very sticky and fragrantπŸ―πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘Œ It's wonderful to see how the ovary of the flowers begins to swell and will soon form beautiful, heavy buds 😍

D78/FD50 - Apologies, a week late on my report. Nothing really going on with the SCP. Pistils starting to turn a peach colour so starting to ripen on the new 11/13 cycle (Still using flower initiator so they're getting equivilent of 15hrs darkness!!!). Couple of big girl colas in there but starting to worry as have had Bud Rot starting to run rife through the Cookies!!! 😠 **Update** D84/FD56 - Cookies have become a real problem...looks like a partial harvest to hopefully save the SCP. Researching some Organic/Bio-Fungicides (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens/Trichoderma Harzianum - Both in TNC TricorrP5 - Speaking to some people to see about getting a hold of some as you cant get Southern AG here or some of the Dedicated T. Harzianum fungicides like TAC3!!!) that can be applied even through to harvest (But best at start of flower as an inoculum) to outcompete the Botrytis. I am starting to think turning WIlma into a DWC is why my plants have got so big the last 2 grows (Could be the Feed, but dunno...I am thinking 24hr access to water & food has made them greedy and the good light has given them fuel!!!). Hard to contain the humidity so looks like next grow (After a decontamination session after this batch finished up) I will be vicious with Defoliation (May even got into mainlining) and find a way to get this new fan direct to the outside to strip out humid air thats getting pumped back into the room. Anyway, happy growing all!!! πŸ’ͺ

Ich habe mich fΓΌr die Keimung direkt in dem BioBizz Light-Mix entschieden. Mit etwas GlΓΌck, keimten auch alle Samen wie erwartet. Die Keimung hat etwas lΓ€nger gedauert, schΓ€tzungsweise 2-3 Tage, bis die ersten Samen aus der Erde schauten. Ich habe einfach dafΓΌr gesorgt, dass es die Samen immer schΓΆn warm und feucht haben, schien gewirkt zu haben - immer mal wieder besprΓΌhen - dann sah alles gut aus. FΓΌr den Anfang standen die TΓΆpfe daheim, um sicherzustellen, dass es warm genug war.

β˜†β™‘ Purple Punch: I'm just watering with flower nutes, when dry. I installed a small monkey fan to keep the air moving at the back of the tent, where they are. Waiting on the harvest, but may still be a little while yet. I DID NOT TOP DRESS THESE! β˜†β™‘ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🀞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; β™‘ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster β™‘ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: β™‘ Black strap molasses 150g β™‘ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited πŸ€— I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: β™‘ 1g Mega Crop Part A β™‘ 1g Mega Crop Part B β™‘ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this πŸ˜‚ So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; β™‘ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle β™‘ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano β™‘ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge β™‘ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules β™‘ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.
