🌱 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 🌱🌿

This week has gone well, had a bunch of stuff typed out and closed my browser by mistake and now this is #2 attempt to post this week. Easy week for the plants, they have being growing well and I am impressed by the size of them. I added in some potassium silicate to introduce some Si into this grow. I decided to top them as they where starting to grow their 4th node, snipped that tip off and we're golden. They are kinda smelly if you rub them and that's fun too, Some of the hot peppers have also popped up and started growing. I still don't have anything on the Naga Morich pepper that I am hoping for. I have a feeling that as the seeds I got from these peppers where from a dehydrated pepper, they might be duds nuked from the dry heat of the dehydrator. I do have 4 vials of hot pepper seeds where the label has fallen off, I found the labels but no idea what one goes on what bottle. One out of the four bottles is Naga Morich, Having some none dehydrated seeds in my possession is one step closer to getting more of this hottie. I also found a fly out of no where, Its little wing is damaged and it more or less hops and glides unsuccessfully vs fly's but I took some videos of it. I also seen a few fungus gnats, little fuckers where not in my apartment before I am convinced their eggs survive in the stuff I buy then come out of it. Kinda annoying. PLUS I borrowed a light meter from my hydro shop, I was expecting it to be a LUX meter and that I would have to do a bunch of conversions but it was not, it was a legit Quantum Par Sensor, detecting in PPF "Photosynthetic Photon Flux" or umols/s, with these readings I can calculate my PPFD "PPF+Density" I have mapped out my tents floor into a colour coded grid of dots and mapped out the PPF at varying heights and dims. However I did not do it right and need to redo this. But once this is done I will have a functioning PPFD map with relation to my tent. This will help me tone in DLI and get it aorund a solid 35-40. Will be gearing up for a transplant next week. I try and post on Fridays but don't always get around to it. I take the pics on that date though and then try and remember what I was going to write about that week. PS Gorilla Tent Accessory's suck shit. The SCROG nets pic has the gorilla 2x4 SCROG net "black" and the Secret Jardin 2x4 SCROG net "white" beside it. massive difference in quality and size. I should have known when they state on the label its for 2x2 or 2x4, that's not even possible. Also tried out the nutrient line that's part of the gorilla tent company, Lotus, I ran it one year and it was just trash, did not work, had issues since first week and they would not correct. Buddy reached out to me and said same thing happened to him and he disliked the brand. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

Trop Cherry #8 x BeeJayz hasn’t been topped, I transplanted the girls this week from a 1 gallon pot to a 3 gallon pot. Trop Cherry was in a plastic pot but now in a fabric pot. Plants seem to be growing well.

Bis auf das die Lampe zu dicht an den beiden längsten Blüten ist, gibt es nichts besonderes. Leider ist der Platz nach oben hin ausgereizt.

Fantastic variety I was very impressed with the trunger of the pistils that has produced this wonderful variety, from photos you can notice a violet traits, while the other no, has a very intense aroma has a aftertaste of chocolate and coffee notes, predominantly savialy, for the day, has a good structure with interior away from each other.

This was the final week. I had no choice to harvest early because pm was starting to settle on a lot of stuff in my garden. The UV light worked for like a day or two and it came back. It's just not worth it. It turned a lot of the buds hairs brown and the leaves did suffer a little damage. Part of that was the peroxide solution. I mixed a little too strong, and it didn't seem like it hurt the plants, but after a few days, they showed the damage. It just seem to burn the leaves a little not really the bud so that's good. There was three days of rain coming, so I wanted to get it cut down.I didn't intend on harvesting so early, and I have no place to dry this because other plants drying so I was forced into freezing it. I cut down branches and wet trimmed it into a bin and ran to the freezer every 10 minutes to get it frozen right away. I maybe could've dried it and had some decent flower but I figured this would be a good opportunity to learn about making bubble hash. I decided I wanted a stainless steel mixing vessel and found this beer brewer for a good price. I think it's gonna be solid. It has a nice drain at the bottom. Then I bought some 5 gallon buckets for spacers for my 5 gallon bubble bags I use the heat gun to peel the stickers off and to heat the bottoms up to make it a little easier to cut them out with the utility knife. I used the heat gun again to soften the edges a little bit so I don't damage my bags. I can't do my washes until I'm done trimming my flowers, but I got a 2 Inkbird temperature controllers to bring my studio down to bubble hash temperatures with my ac unit. I could wait a little longer until it gets colder but I'm not sure how cold it's really gonna get and I wanna get this done soon as I can. I'm gonna have to try it without a freeze dryer so that should be fun and I'm not going to micro plane it at all costs. I got 25 µm screens for drying that I will use a towel to wear most of the moisture out then see if it on to some parchment and I should be able to get my studio really cold and dry to get it dried relatively quickly. I'm seeing it recommended to be 30 to 40% humidity and 50° or so for about a week and it should be dry enough to press some rosin. I'm gonna try to separate out the full melt hash, but honestly I think I'm just gonna get a wide spectrum pool on this hash and just press it into rosin to make it easier to deal with. I kind of was trying to find the cheapest bags it's still decent and wasn't paying attention when I bought it really cause there's no 45 µm and my set and I'm saying that to be the lowest recommended the pool but also seeing a lot of people pulling some nice 25 µm so I think with my early harvest I might have some smaller truck head so I might not be a bad thing to have that bag as my lowest. I'm going to catch everything under 160 to 25.

July 9th - fish poop applied for breakfast - with all the rain, i applied Kelp Meal to the surface area - fed 2 gallons of Nutes/water -Weather can do what it wants now June 10th, - looking at the leaf formations on the end of the Branches, and I’m sure there will be Pistiles showing in about a week. The bud sites are starting to take shape and cluster. I’ll grab some shots in 4 days and see where its going - foliar spray for breakfast, thats a good feeding in the last 24 hrs - next meal posted above - 2 weeks past the Solstice, the plants will start moving into Flower very shortly, if not already. Days are Shorter, lets grow some Buds July 11th, - another whole day of Rain, so 1-2” (~ 1.5 gal) of Compost was added to the entire Soil surface. A first for me, thats for sure… all in the name of the science in the soil - before adding compost, I stood on the tomato cage, to fully re-sink it into the ground; top rim is 29” legit July 13th - foliar spray in the late afternoon - plant is becoming a Bush - yep, in a moment of weakness lol, I took a few leaves off, clones were gone, had to make it right… call it LST - you can see the branches are making use of the Cage, for support of the lower Topped branches.

4/26: I top-dressed her pot with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water and added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica, and I started her on open sesame. Increased Ph to 6.4 to ensure that she can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving her. 4/27: I did a little bondage on her today...she was totally compliant!😉 4/29: She is budding up alright, but not stretching...the tangies i've grown in the past were all pretty tall, so I'm a little worried that I stunted her somehow... 5/1: I gave her a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed her with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitch, grow!

Day 72, 21st of November 2020: Hi! Wao this is what I can say and luckily stoppe streching.... All LST has been removed as the plants remain the same so no need to keep them in "chains". Those Original Sensible girls 3 of them (Gelato, Runtz Gum, Do-Si-Dos OG)went crazy, except Black Ghost OG she did not strech much typical little indica lady. And the THC crystals alrady on the leaves on the Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG just simply beautiful. Buds are coming getting thick they are gorgeous only I can see some some sort of deficiency on Do-Si-Dos OG a bit on some leaves. The fertilization schedula isnthe same every 2nd day and happens with the mix and ratio above. Wedding Gelato is beautiful also I hope the nice purple colour will come out as well in late flowering stage. :) The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Day 57-63 Week 9 Halfway through last week, I noticed a issue with a wilting, deep water culture bucket. I realized there was a possibility I created an imbalanced solution for my plant that shuts them out, even though it was in the correct p.H range I probably encouraged mold or stagnant root growth. They are all picking up.Don't look stressed.They look happy and pointing towards the light.

GENERAL COMMENT. Two different realities are populating my humble growroom, by one side we have a vibrant SKR and the other the NL that was destabilised a wile back. This two girls from RQS have lots of virtues, and shooting up many colas, and harvest is looking promising. RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO. AKA SKR I’m looking forward to get the results on this one, beautiful plant, full of colas, compact size, and very dense. 100% happy, my first medical strain and i recommend for anyone looking for a easy to grow CBD funcional strain. She got her last nutes feed a day a go, and now is flushing time! 10 days to go, and she still bulking! As far as flushing goes, I will water abundant in the first week with ph water, then flawless finish to take care of any thing left. Looking close for mould and etc… Fingers crossed guys! I would like her to go flawless!

It's been two weeks since i started using the UAP 1500 light, and the results are definitely showing! The 'Peyton' papaya seems to love it. The leaves have this amazing vibrant green, and the whole plant looks so healthy and strong. Papaya 'Peyton' is really thriving! The leaves are absolutely gorgeous, so full and plump, giving the plant a lush, healthy look. I'm really impressed with the structure – it's short and stocky, which is quite unique, and the nodes are nice and tight, promising good growth. It's clear this plant is getting the perfect care. The vibrant green color of the leaves and the overall compact shape make it a standout.

This week started with the last feedings with Top Bud (1 ml/l) and after that, flushing time... The yellowing appeared at the end of the week, and the 3 pointed leaves deteriorated faster as normal leaves so when this started the plant lost it easily and fast. The colas are getting bigger each day, carbohydrates and enzymes full dose (TopCandy 2ml/l), until harvest, as this product is recommended until the end... Added micro vita to clean ethe soil and roots, not much, like 2-3 grams No bugs, fungus or other pests at the moment. Flushing schedule: -Water-/-TopCandy-/-Water-
