🌱 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! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing 🌱🌿

I finally had a chance to try out the Skullcap solo cup that I grew out after finding it was female. This plant is very crystally and has a dark purple look from the leaves. Ill definitely need to maintain a 10*F temp swing from day to night temps. Everything is moving along nicely on the screen and new sump pump is working great. Changing res everytime i go through a full add back of fresh water, which should be in the next 2-3days.

My plants are doing better with more heat and less light. My light is turned down to 30%. I installed a oil heater so the tent stays above 80 even during lights out. My plants have never looked healthier. Changing off of my veg nutes and going to flower dosages.

the move did not go so smoothly. the plants stood in the cold car without light for eternity. when i unpacked them the leaves were hanging down and the leaves had brown spots in some places. after i watered them and left them alone they gradually recovered. other than that, I think they look pretty good

Any advice on moving these or keep them all in square base?? The two females are random seeds, along with the ones in the ground. Can anyone tell if the ones in the ground are likely to be male or female? The two small ones in the video are fastbuds stardawg auto and grapefruit autos..

6/5 Starting week 5 The girls are drinking more quickly. So today I watered and fed using TPS1 Circle has just passed Gaia in height. From Friday 6/2 she grew 6 inches from 22 to 28 she got 3 liters Gaia grew from 24 to 26" she got 4 liters 6/7 Circe is growing like a weed (heehee) and quickly passed Gaia. Circe is 31" Gaia 27". Gaia mother is the stereo type mom large hips and flowing tresses while Circe is the willow-of-the-wisp free spirit so true for a healer. Today I flushed all the plants with 1 gallon of filtered water to remove any buildup of nutrients. Hopefully, since I've cut way back on fertilizer, they are getting what they need. The other two Cream Caramel and Gelato 41 are short and remain on the crates to keep them within 30 inches from the light. At 6/9 they are 11 inches. 6/9 water and feeding day. Circe and Gaia both drink 4 liters of water each feeding. Circe grew 3 more inches She is now 34.5. Gaia has stopped growing at 27.5 inches, Gelato 41 is 12 inches (lst) and Cream Caramel 13. These are AFRO girls. Short, Squat and Very bushy. So many leaves, I may have to trim out some large fans to give light to the bud sites. I put mirrors under their canopies to increase light penetration. My mom and dad met and married in post WWII Japan and spent several years there. Mom taught the children of the officers and diplomats but she was also a life-long learner. Her interest were cultural, religious spiritual, music and art. She studied Sumee, Japanese painting, ikebana, flower arranging, and cooking. Some of her Sumee art shown is in week 2. Here in week 5 I've included some flower arranging pictures known in Japan as Ikebana. @DreamIt, the tree is for you From the beginning of my life, my parents encouraged exploring the world around me. I tried different religions and over the years learned, that while there are many religions, they basically say the same thing. I choose spiritually and oneness with nature rather than the structured sermons of the church services I attended in my youth. Education was emphasized since my mom was a teacher and my dad an officer. My early education was in private schools since I tested above the grade level in public school. My education was fundamental reading, writing, arithmetic. science and art until I went to college. My Dad had the greatest influence on my interests in science and math. In college I studied psychology & biology and wanted to be a doctor. While I was very smart, I really didn't want to continue 12 more years of school for a medical degree. I switched my major of study to business and focused on accounting. More soon. I hope you are enjoying Alphonse Mucha's art nouveau representation of my goddesses. His art nouveau is the epitome of feminine grace and beauty. I found a doll at a thrift shop. If you are following this diary, you will remember the Alphons Mucha Goddess and picture of my Grandmother in week 1. The doll I found looks like both. So coincidental. 😄 Thanks for visiting my Goddesses and friends. We appreciate the 🌱 love 😘. Hope you had a great week and took time to have fun 👍

Eden's Apple 🍏 had been a great run. I really enjoyed this grow & I fully hand trimmed half a pound. Then put all in the 1 pound Grove Bag. Filled half way. Looking around 1st Week October I will upload more photos 📸.

Perfect growing conditions the past week , using heat mat in off cycle to maintain nice warm nights . Started foliar spray today . I did notice some perlite turning green obviously because I’m keeping it too moist , I’m repotting in a week so hopefully it’s only a minor issue .

6/29/2021 - New mains for quadlining growing out nicely since topping. - Watered with un-PH'd de-chlorinated tap water. - Foliar fed with DIY kelp extract. - She's jumping out the gym, very excited. - It's been 5 weeks of alternating DIY nutrient teas (coconut water + kelp extract + neem & karanja extract + water) and un-PH'd Toronto tap water, and I've seen no signs of deficiencies or lockouts. - She's taking well to the various DIY foliar sprays as well, no burning. 7/1/2021 - I think one of my bottle sprayers is infected with butyric acid, 'cause it stinks in here, loll. - SHE WANTS TO GROOOWWW! 7/4/2021 - Growth a week after topping is strong. Hoping the auxins in the kelp foliar, and nutrients in coconut water are responsible. - I barely need to train her right now, it's as if she wanted to be topped. Besides some periodic light bending, she seems to be leveling out her branches herself.

Hello,,, fin semaine 6, semaine de 2 floraison. Le plantes se portent super bien malgré le manque de place,, le stretch est vraiment impressionnant, plus de 20cm en 1 semaine! Aujourd’hui j’ai fait une défoliation pour enlever les parties les plus basses qui n’arrivent pas à accéder correctement à la lumière, et j’ai aussi retiré toutes les petites pousses sur les parties basses qui prennent de l’énergie pour rien, pour vraiment essayer de laisser que les fleures exposées à la lumière afin qu’elles puissent bénéficier de toutes l’énergie de la plante et aussi pour limiter le stress sur la plante. Les premières fleures commencent a apparaître tranquillement. J’ai augmenter doucement les nutriments. Pour le moment tous semble aller se dérouler normalement. Encore 5 semaines avant la date prévu. Voilà pour cette semaine. Happy grow... 😎

The Titan is creating more buds by the day and the smell is great. Flowery with hint of citrus. Beside a few bugs eating her leafs there is no problem at all. With temperatures rising in the greenhouse during the day she drinks a lot. This is not an issue as I can check up on her a few times a day and provide water when needed. The ant infestation has been solved thanks to the neem oil and I see no signs of thrips and other pests. So far so good 😊
