So my phone died early in the week and I lost all my my update pics. On the plus side, I have a brand new better phone that takes better pics of my ladies. (The only reason to have a phone) - I’m still only giving the girls plain water and letting them use up the last of the nutrients in the leaves. I’d say there’s still ~12 days to harvest for the indica dominate strains and a week or so beyond that for the rest. - I’ll be taking clones in about week with an aero cloner I borrowed from a friend. That, will start a new diary from the beginning. I’ll flower the moms I have now and I will also pop some new seeds for the grow after that one. I’ll be posting more closeups soon.

Found 1 hermie in the tent from the last 2. I will be taking it out and fixing the last one as I was scrogging these girls. The Nutrients are in Grams please I hope that doesn’t confuse anyone. I am feeding at a 3.0 EC smell is minty can’t really explain it I suck at describing terps. See you all next week thanks for watching.

12/30 MONDAY 4am MB 4g & 0.8ml Purpinator. I tried Liquid KoolBloom, it's ok. 2pm Put the small Orion cola in a jar, not a big producer under my grow conditions but it smells and tastes just beautiful. LOTS of resin very sticky smokes just fine after hanging to dry for a couple days. 12/31 3am. 1pm took another cola from Orion about 1.5 wet so maybe half oz dry. Small grows are still the way to go for me. EVERYTHING is just so much easier, less messy. I get about the same amount from 1 gallon indoor soil grows than I did from HUGE 3 gallon fabric pots that I used Outdoor soil...infected shipped all over the country so every kind of bug.... I did NOT know to use airtight INDOOR specific soil or it will have BUGS & MITES...., like Root Mealy Bugs that will eat the roots as they grow...I didn't know that could happen!!!! 1/1 4am they are great 1/3 11 am Took the smallest cola from Cookie Apple & arranged the plants closer together. They fit like a puzzle as I take each cola & require a little less water. 1/4 2am

Both plants make me supper happy!!

5 - 11 octubre terminando séptima semana de floración

Plant is growing strong, good growth this week. Did a seaweed foliar spray earlier in the week. Thinking about one more week of veg then flipping this plant to 12/12 and start the flower. Thanks for looking.

🍃🌱🐛🌞🤭

Lessons learned from week 1 of my first grow so far: the best watering solution I found so far is a mix of distilled water from the store and filtered tap water. with a final ph of 6 and ppm of 20-40. a little ph buffer goes a bloody long way. Use with caution. performing tasks like mixing solution and potting a germinated seed are best performed without a phone (camera) in one hand. the seed germinated within 24 hours using paper towels. I planted after 36 hours. After 24 hours of potting, the stem was already shooting up, and I turned on the lights, set to an 18 hour schedule. I wasn't quite ready for this, so it took me some time to research and get the desired humidity and temperature. At this point I added more nutrient in even quantities of FloraGro, FloraMicro, and FloraBloom, according to instructions. Perhaps a little early though, although after just one 18 hour light cycle this plant is shooting up like a rocket and showing leaves. I bought a fan for the inside of the tent and propped it up on a box, and a humidifier to bring the humidity from 40-50% to around 70%. Since it's a winter grow, I have to periodically increase the temperature to keep it at 25 °C. The intake fan, humidifier, and inside fan are significantly lowering the temperature. I'm also experimenting with finding the right humidifier settings since the humidity seems to increase a lot when the lights go out, and the machine is still new.

I believe I could get thicker and taller buds, if I'd have done a better manifold. However she still produced very potent & stickie buds with a sharp aroma. Definitely a strain for all level growers 🤠

Day 64. Watering with fertilizers. Day 65. Watering with clean water. Day 66. Watering with fertilizers. Day 67. Watering with clean water. Day 68. Watering with fertilizers. Day 69. Watering with clean water. Distinct sweet smell. Day 70. Watering with fertilizers.

D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Beginning of the first week of flower.

She is growing nice, good leaf structure. Will LST next week.

Been hitting her with the Bio Bizz nutes and looking good so far. However, she IS turning purple and it's a bit concerning to me. The purple is nice tho, not gonna lie. Can't wait to see how fat she's going to be in the next few weeks.

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. It's like walking into the mango store and smelling all the ripe mangos, Wonderful. Things are going good in here. I getting some lower yellowing leaves, now that the plants are putting everything into flowering. I'll mix in a bit more nitrogen in tomorrows changing of the nutrient solution to slow the yellowing down some. Each pot gets 2 gallons of rainwater when they are dry enough. One more strange thing happened this week, my unknown 40 year old daughter made contact with me last week. I guess she's had some awful relationships with men and doesn't like them. It came across. There's been stress here this week, but not with cannabis. 😒 I need the cannabis to de-stress. Wow. Never saw that coming. OK. Be great. Chuck.
