🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿
Hey Grow Fam,
We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold!
The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :)
But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone.
To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! (
If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem)
Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this!

Added a touch more KoolBloom into the mix. All is looking great, I think B2 is nearing its time to flush although B1 is a week or two behind. Buds are continuing to swell up nicely and have an insane amount of frost all the way up some fan leaves. Hopefully these will be down by late December or early January.

5.23 F60
5.27 F65 - Everything has been going well this week. The plants went through a feed cycle that should carry them through flower no problemo. Started with the AACT Tea, then a bokashi drench with Fish Shit from Fishheadfarms and plain water from here on out. They are drinking quite a bit. 1.5-2 gallons a plant every 3ish days. The terps in my tents smell out of this world. The ScrOG and 3x3 are like a candy store. Passion Berry has mango/guava citrus terps while Deadstar v2 has strawberry watermelon terps. The 4x5 is much more varied, but in general the sweet pink dominates with it's grape candy terps and the dread bread cuts through with it stanky gassy lemon while the prayer pupil smells like moth balls and a bit of GMO. Very lucky to get to experience this much variety.

Day 11: Love this strain for starters but its looking like this lovely lady might be on the smaller side.. Growing a Red Poison Auto also and the two are only a day apart but my RP is twice the size but that's OK 👌 🙂.. never know what might happen.. I added FoxFarm Acid Lovers Dry fertilizer yesterday to my soil( scratched about a tbsp and a half into the top layer of soil) then watered throughly.. Checked the soils ph and it was up to 7.0 so I added the FFAL hoping to drop the ph a bit will keep you guys posted

Wow these plants took off and have not looked back! I am going to have to switch to flower in the next week or 2 or im afraid they will stretch further than my set up can handle 😆 🤣 😂 the gary payton x king louie og i ended up throwing in a 7 gallon plastic grow bag and she is getting MASSIVE the leaves on her are bigger than my hand same with the highway og #2. Used 6" metal plant anchors to anchor almost all them down to help with keeping them short and bushy ,using foop and organic inputs on the 707 headband

This week I assembled the new 48x48x80 Mars Hydro tent and installed the new FOHSE Aries 600W LED light. I set the dim to 75%, but after two days, it was clearly too much, especially for 20 hours per day. I will dim it way down and shorten the hours until the plants appear to be doing better.

not much to report this week, plants are looking very healthy and happy. Struggling to keep them away from the light. stems at the base of the plants are looking beefy. So far this has been the healthiest and most vigorous looking grow I've had (aside from letting them get a little out of hand in size)

Hey everyone ☺️.
After 60 hours, the lady's case was already open :-).
Today the seed was placed in soil :-).
I only use the soil for cultivation because I have it left and it has to go slowly :-).
When repotting, it comes in Canna Coco 👍.
I watered the soil with some Canna Rizotonic before the seeds got 1 cm under the soil :-).
After that, the pot was placed under a hood in which I sprayed clay every day so that the humidity is between 80-90%.
I do this for the first few days until the head looks out of the earth.
From this point on, I open the hood at the upper opening bit by bit every few days so that you can slowly get used to 65% humidity before the hood comes down.
It is also only poured when the roots are right, until then the earth is sprayed. Which training I will use I will decide spontaneously when the time comes :-).
Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with the update. Let it grow and stay healthy 🙏🏻🍀

Gave water at 6.5ph will feed on week 3.
I think I've had the light to close. On day 10 pictures you can see the leaves look like there burnt 🤔 or that's what I'm guessing it is. I've raised the light to 1meter it's only at around half power at the moment and showing 21000 lux.

5. Woche
Ja Leute ihr seht ja selbst, das ich mit dem Mainlining fast fertig bin. Probiert das doch auch mal aus, bringt wirklich Spaß so mit den Pflanzen zu Arbeiten 😁
Es gab jetzt nomma Wachstumsdünger und diese Woche werde ich das Mainlining abschließen und dann kommt auch bald der Switch in die Bloom.
Ich kann noch gar nicht richtig sagen, was was ist hehe 😄
Ich sehe lediglich an der Blattfarbe nach dem Düngen, das die 2 links eher Indicalastig sind, die 2 daneben eher Sativalastig und die ganz vorne ein Hybrid. Aber mal sehen, freue mich schon auf die Bloom 🤭🤯
Denke spätestens beim Geruch sollte es möglich sein, die zumindest auseinander zu halten, wenn die wirklich alle so Terpen Monster sind, wie Fastbuds verspricht 😍

Growing growing growing. So, I have an extremely stressful job, and even though working with plants (of all types, not just weed) is how I unwind, it is coming to a head. Therefore, while I am still trying to get my updates up on Saturday or Sunday, sometimes, I spend the weekend just short of catatonic. However, enough about that shit.
These plants are BUSHY. B-U-S-H-Y. Thankfully, the plants have realized where each other are and aren't really growing into each other. We're getting closer to one square yard by the moment it seems like.
Other than that, not too much to report. Whenever I open the tent, I am hit by a blast of smell. I can't wait to see what these smell like when they're actually flowering. I have already decided what I will be adding in for the flower cycle, so we'll see.
Update: after a bunch of deliberation, I spent a good chunk of time between the past 2 days defoliating, LST, and supercropping these plants to stop growing into each other. I'm happy with the results, and pictures will be up soon.
