day 5 flowering, i did some LST with rope they look healthy also transplated one into a 20L pot 2 days before they went into flowering, with soil wich has 3month fertilizer in it see how that turns out. the one in the 12L pot has thicker branches so harder to bend so im not taking too much risks on that one. they stretched a bit every day and start to go into the pre flowering stage in a week or 2 the flowers will start pop up from everywhere O.o see you next week

Plants came back out of their 36 hours of darkness and were a little droopy, so I made the decision to put them outside for the first day of light. Unfortunately they suffered from wind burn so I brought them back to the tent. Foliar fed the plants daily at 400PPM.

Will update details soon

Finally A successful process I can finally harvest… 😭 1 of 6. When I thought an Auto, turns out got myself a traditional 6 month seed to harvest, she got a whole month of flushing, want that smooth smoke, besides presentation it must the smoke must be subtle on the throat. She just fooled me with her flowering, she has truly took her time maturing. Next week I am harvesting, and I will definitely post my experience, and how I dry and cure my harvest.

Chopped at day 78 She suffered alot by my hands but made it through 1 week drying was all it took and starting cure now after trimming Not that many grams but alot of trim i can put to use. And i had alot of fun Starting the next one soon

Very fun strain to grow. Easy to train and love to get big. We had 2 different expressions on the plants and both where very pleasing. Both plants grew vigorously and provided me with just over 3/4 pound of dry medicine!

Alles super verlaufen die Woche die trichome werden immer mehr und immer harziger war auch 4 Tage nicht da hat sie auch super verkraftet

October 3rd. I've got to take some pictures and do my harvest reports. I did better quantity wise than I thoughtvi would. Quality is better than expected as well. I have everything else curing. I have some buds in a bucket that aren't MANICURED to my liking but good enough to cure. I've got some stuff hanging but its just going in a bag and to the lab for extracts. Let's talk about the girl that's still out there. Weirdest plant ive ever grown. Ive showed felliw growers and one said it looks like a reveg but it's not. Those pistols were already there. There are no rounded leaves or leaves with three fingers or one finger. Everything else is normal. I cut a bud off yesterday. The very bottom branch and it was thick and full. It's strange the bottom branches seemed to fill in butcthe colas havecthe outline of a two liter soda bottle bur looks like a string of pearls. Just foxtail. Even the buds that are thick still have foxtailing. The tips of the buds are skinny and I thought they might be dieing. I louped it and it is just a dark purple with trichs on top of trichs. My buddy that owns a dispo told me ge thinks it's a mutant. It's like calyxes on top of calyxes. Trichs are milky with some amber. It rained last night. I shouldve followed my intuition and took it. Oh well. It looks OK this morning. I've had to cut ONE piece of rot of this plant. My buddy said this is a perfect plant to wash. I don't give a shit about the structure or what it looks like. It's just my medicine. I'll try it before I throw it in a bag that's getting shipped to the lab. I'll try to keep this as updated as I can however this is a super busy time and I gave a lot going on so it will be a few days before I got my harvest reports done.

4/13 10AM MONDAY They are looking pretty good. Got the ph stabilized and only running 98W! Using a few DROPS in 18oz to test Purpinator on veggies. 4/14 11am Using a little Purpinator .5ml per gallon and will have to do lots of runoff to prevent burns. Using vegetables to test fro Purpinator burns👍 4/15🚨🚨🚨 Your setup photos are great — thanks for sharing them. The R2-D2 power strip topper is a fun touch (he’s guarding the outlet like a proper astromech droid). Here’s a clear breakdown of what I see and my honest opinion on the power draw/safety. What you’re running • Two Mars Hydro TS1000 lights — These are officially rated at 150W each (real-world draw is usually ~145–150W at full power, sometimes a bit less if dimmed). You mentioned ~100W each, but they’re actually higher — so total for the two lights is roughly 300W. • Plus the two black fan speed controllers (one for each tent’s exhaust/inline fan). • A few small wall warts/adapters plugged into the white smart plugs or directly. • You measured 335W total across tents 1 and 2 on one outlet — that lines up reasonably (lights ~300W + fans/controllers ~20–40W depending on speed + minor losses). Is this safe on one standard outlet/circuit? In most US homes a standard wall outlet is on a 15-amp 120V circuit: • Max theoretical capacity = 15A × 120V = 1,800W. • Safe continuous load rule (National Electrical Code for things running 3+ hours, like grow lights): Stay under 80% = 1,440W max. Your 335W total is very low — only about 23% of the safe limit. That’s comfortably safe. No real risk of overheating the outlet, tripping the breaker, or fire hazard from overload right now. My opinion on the setup: • Good: Everything is neatly plugged in. The white smart plugs (with the green lights and blue indicator) and the labeled ones (9e, 10e, 11e) look like you’re using them for timers or monitoring — smart move for controlling lights/fans independently. R2-D2 adds personality and keeps the wall organized. • Fine for now: Two TS1000s + fans on one outlet/circuit is no problem at these low watts. Many small grows run similar loads without issue. • Long-term suggestions (to keep it safe and reliable as your grows expand): ◦ Don’t daisy-chain too much — You already have multiple adapters and controllers stacked. Avoid adding a lot more (e.g., dehumidifier, heater, or more lights) on the same outlet/circuit. ◦ Check heat — Feel the wall outlet and the power strips after the lights have been running for a few hours. They should be only slightly warm, not hot. If anything feels warm/hot, spread the load. ◦ Dedicated circuit is ideal — For peace of mind, run the lights on their own circuit if possible (or at least separate the fans/controllers if you add more equipment later). ◦ Surge protection — Make sure the main power strip or outlet has good surge protection, especially with grow equipment that can have inrush current when turning on. ◦ Monitor actual draw — Your 335W reading is helpful. If you have a kill-a-watt meter or smart plug that shows real-time watts, keep an eye on it when everything is at full power. The houndstooth shirt hanging on tent 2 is a nice personal touch — makes the grow room feel lived-in and less sterile. Quick safety checklist for your whole setup • All cords are in good shape (no fraying, especially the black ones going to the fans). • Nothing is blocking airflow around the plugs/adapters. • The inline fans and ducting look properly attached (important for heat and smell control). • If you ever add more lights or equipment, recalculate the total watts and stay under ~1,200–1,400W on that circuit. Overall, your power setup looks thoughtful and creative (love the R2-D2 detail). It’s not overloaded at 335W, so you’re good to keep running tents 1 and 2 like this while you sterilize and prep tent 3. 4/16 543am 5ft tent sideways attached to 6ft table that can slide around 4/17 3:45am. Here’s the exact vibe you’re going for, and yeah, it’s dark, inappropriate, and could be hilariously unhinged if executed right: Video Concept: “Revenge of the Skid Row Sith” • Split-screen the entire time. • Left side: Clean, epic original Revenge of the Sith footage — Anakin vs. Obi-Wan on Mustafar. Dramatic dialogue, lightsabers humming, lava flows, John Williams score swelling (“Battle of the Heroes” or the full Mustafar duel track). • Right side: Real, raw bodycam or dashcam footage of two absolutely fried-out junkies (or one junkie vs. cops/security) going full delusional meltdown on the street — flailing, screaming nonsense, swinging wildly at nothing or at officers, thinking they’re in an epic lightsaber duel. Twitching, eyes rolled back, yelling shit like “YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWER!” while barely able to stand. One of them probably shirtless, covered in sores, pants falling down, yelling about the “high ground” while tripping over a curb. The comedy comes from the perfect sync: • When Anakin says “I hate you!” → Junkie on the right screams “I HATE YOU COPS!!” or just incoherent rage. • When Obi-Wan says “It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground” → The junkie is literally on the curb or a slight incline, yelling at the cop below him “YOU HAVE THE HIGH GROUND?!” • Dramatic slow-mo lightsaber clash → Slow-mo of the junkie wildly swinging a broken bottle or just air, missing by a mile while the cop easily sidesteps. • Anakin getting chopped up and burned → Junkie getting tased or tackled into the dirt, still convulsing and screaming about betrayal. Overlay the full Star Wars audio (dialogue + epic music) on top of the real footage on the right, so the junkies’ actual grunts and screams are mostly drowned out or faintly audible underneath, making it look like they’re perfectly delivering the lines in their drug-fueled psychosis. End it with the classic “You were the chosen one!” speech while the junkie is face-down in his own puke, getting cuffed, still muttering about the dark side. Tone-wise: Super dark humor. It walks the line of “this is fucked up” but the absurdity of the overlay makes it land as comedy instead of just tragedy porn. Think It’s Always Sunny energy meets Cops bloopers with Star Wars fan editing. I can’t actually generate or edit real video clips here (especially not real bodycam footage of people in crisis — that’s a legal/ethical minefield even for parody). But if you want, I could: • Write a full detailed script/timeline with exact timestamps from the Mustafar scene synced to generic “junkie fight” beats. • Suggest public-domain or fair-use-friendly ways to source similar footage without doxxing real people. • Help you describe it precisely enough to feed into a video AI tool like Runway, Kling, Luma, or whatever’s good for video right now (with heavy disclaimers on the dark content). Want me to flesh out the full beat-by-beat script for the Mustafar duel re-cut this way? Or pivot it to fully AI-generated characters (two cartoonish, exaggerated skid-row types in a filthy alley “Mustafar” with lava made of spilled fentanyl and burning trash) to avoid any real-people issues? It’s a nasty, wrong, stupid idea… and that’s exactly why it could be comedy gold in the right hands. Your call how far you want to take it."" 4/18 3:21AM 👨‍🔬🚨"Yeah, pH drift upward overnight (or over several hours) in a freshly mixed hydroponic nutrient batch is super common—especially when you let it sit with constant agitation like a magnetic stirrer. It's not usually a sign that something's broken, but it can make adjustment feel like a battle the next day. Why this happens with your setup CO₂ off-gassing + aeration/agitation: Fresh water (especially tap or even some RO) often holds dissolved CO₂, which forms carbonic acid and keeps pH lower initially. When you mix nutrients and run a magnetic stirrer all night, you're constantly agitating and exposing the solution to air. That drives CO₂ out, reducing the acid, so pH naturally rises (sometimes 0.5–1.5+ points). Magnetic stirrers create good mixing but also promote gas exchange, speeding this up compared to a still jug. Buffering from water and nutrients: Many water sources have alkalinity (bicarbonates, etc.) that acts like a buffer. Nutrients themselves have their own buffering capacity. When you add pH Down right after mixing, the buffers can "fight back" over time, slowly pushing pH higher as the solution stabilizes. General Hydroponics recommends mixing nutrients first, waiting 15–20 minutes (or longer), then adjusting—because immediate readings can be misleading. Temperature and time: pH readings shift with temp, and overnight changes let everything equilibrate. If your stirrer keeps things moving and slightly warmer, that can influence the drift too. Your General Hydroponics pH Down (usually phosphoric acid-based) should still work, but if the solution has strong buffering or you've already hit a stabilized higher pH, it can feel "hard to lower" because you're fighting those buffers. Adding it slowly while stirring, waiting 10–30 minutes between additions, and re-testing helps. Don't chase it too aggressively right after mixing—let the batch settle. Does this happen in the "reservoir" (rez) too? Absolutely—often even more noticeably. In an active rez (with airstones, pumps, or circulation), constant aeration drives the same CO₂ off-gassing, causing pH to creep upward over hours/days. Plant roots taking up nutrients (especially nitrates) can push it higher too. Many growers see this exact pattern: mix and adjust at night, wake up to higher pH. It's why a lot of people premix the night before, let it stabilize with gentle mixing/aeration, then do a final pH check and tweak in the morning before using. Quick tips to make it less frustrating Mixing routine tweak: Use your magnetic stirrer to fully dissolve nutrients, but maybe run it for a few hours instead of all night if the drift is too much. Or mix, stir briefly, let sit still for 30–60+ minutes, test/adjust, then optional light stirring. Water source: If you're on tap/well water with high alkalinity, that amplifies upward drift. RO water often needs more pH adjustment initially but can be more stable once set (though pure RO can sometimes drift differently). Adjustment technique: Add pH Down in small increments while stirring, wait for the meter to stabilize (it can take time), and re-test after 15–30 min. Track how much you use per gallon so you can anticipate next time. Test meter: Make sure it's calibrated and the probe is clean—old or dirty meters give wonky readings that make drift seem worse. If it's stubborn: Some folks add a tiny bit of pH stabilizer or just accept minor daily tweaks. Citric acid-based downs can drift more than phosphoric ones, but GH's is usually pretty reliable. This is one of those classic hydro "annoyances" that almost everyone runs into—your nighttime low-frequency tuning sessions with the subwoofer probably give you plenty of time to notice these little chemistry experiments too.""

Put the largest nothern lights in its own mini green house, both have x2 large bug nets around them instead of a plastic cover as the temps and humidity were off but are perfect now. Plus it will reduce the chances of bugs flying in while also allowing the wind to pass through, I’ve used some Biobizz leaf spray no further leafs have been eaten since using it which I’m happy about.

Der Umzug ist ins Beet wurde erfolgreich abgeschlossen.

Our journey is slowly coming to an end. Both Gelatos have developed well, and I'm looking forward to testing them soon. The smell in the box is mind blowing 💚💚💚.

D-48 : after lollipopping this morning, I turn to flowering mode tonight !

This strain is a cross between fire caké and black domina

Made my own cheap SCROG netting. The girls are about to do their stretch. All 3 are flowering. Slowly removing fan leaves and any inner leaves covering floral growth. No more than 3-4 a day per plant. Slow and light. So far, so good... I think so anyway... What do I know... I'm a noob... If someone is still following this diary and sees something that I can improve or any advice at all... I'm all ears. Happy growing everyone!🌱🌿😎 NOOB GROWER THOUGHTS, WEEK 6 -- I'm getting paranoid with them being Hermie... I've seen too many diaries here go that way, including ones of these same exact genetics. No matter how much effort you put in, it's still really not up to you... Just gotta detach from the outcome while still trying my best -- both in growing and in life.

Late to update this week. Was out of town and finally I found some time to update. I started giving them a healthy dose of KoolBloom to start finish this grow off. Temperature is getting higher and I wish I started these girls 2 weeks earlier, but hindsight is 420. I think these should be ready by week 9, so i’ll be looking at those trichomes at this stage of the grow. I like mine cloudy. What do you all prefer?

TUESDAY 7/30: I gave her a little drink of 6.0 ph'd water with kelp me kelp you, great white, and open sesame. I'll give her a little drink of bactrex tomorrow, and a big drink of compost tea the next day, then I'll let her dry all the way out again. WEDNESDAY: I gave her a big drink of Bactrex today and put her in a spot where she'll get another hour or so of direct sunlight. It was a total pain in the ass. I had to squeeze through a bunch of briars. I ripped my shirt and I'm all scratched up now.. so this is not likely to be repeated often. I still have to climb back into the bushes again this evening to retrieve her..😒 I'll take some photos when I bring her indoors tonight. I put a timer on the indoor rig and she's getting a 4 hour nap every night now. THURSDAY: Being out in the 100f heat, she's drying out daily, so I gave her a few sips of freshly brewed compost tea today. In addition to the PK Booster, I brewed in some Big Bloom and Kelp Me Kelp You along with some Great White for the mycorrhizae, and I've started adding Bembe for the carbs and sugars and the extra earthworm castings, and bat + seabird guano that it contains. Normal tie-down training her was proving to be almost impossible in this sized container because as they grow outwards beyond the lip of the cup, you can't get enough leverage on them to train the furthest reaches of the plant....so.... I decided to start my lady on a weight training regimen tonight using some standard and metric deep sockets. I'll just add on smaller sockets to increase the weight as they strengthen and become erect again.💪 She looks like a stoner mechanic's Christmas Tree😂 FRIDAY: I gave her some more compost tea today..she dries out in about 4-5 hours at these temperatures.

14.10.24 VD# 29 Moin ✌️ da sind wir wieder 🙂 Neue Woche neues Glück 🍀 die Mendocino Skunk macht sich prächtig. Habe gestern alle Ihre Triebe getoppt somit kommen noch mehr Triebe die später die dicken Buds halten. Heute gab es wieder lecker Futter von Hesi somit hat sie die nächsten 4 Tage erst mal was. Dann gibt es wieder eine Ladung Ph angeglichenes Wasser somit beugen wir gerade in diesen Stadium eine über Düngung vor. Danke für den Stop und bleibt alle geschmeidig & Stay High Das nächste Update kommt wie gehabt nächste Woche zur selben Zeit. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen ✌️ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 14.10.24 VD# 29 Moin ✌️ here we are again 🙂 New week, new luck 🍀 The Mendocino Skunk is doing great. I topped all her shoots yesterday so there will be even more shoots to hold the thick buds later. Today there was delicious food from Hesi again so she'll have something for the next 4 days. Then there will be another load of pH-adjusted water so that we can prevent over-fertilization at this stage. Thanks for the stop and everyone stay smooth & stay high The next update will come as usual next week at the same time. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff ✌️

* Watering 2l every 3 days, no nutrients * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops * Check the trichomes for amber * When amber leave the plant 2 days in darkness before harvest
