🌱 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 🌱🌿

The smell is getting stronger and the buds and trichomes are swelling, I’m planning on starting flushing at the end of the week. The smell is strong mixed berry and when you lean in a bit closer it has a bit of a chemy smell

Finally we are in bloom, the plants are fine and continue to grow with few problems, in this phase the Mimosa Evo in the abs pot, has some leaves locked inwards, while the others are fine, I wonder if I should worry about An excess of fertilizers or environment? The Tutankhamun has these tips pointing downwards and I don't understand why, I only gave water for almost 1 week but nothing has changed, the Gorilla Zkittlez is exploding with flowers and the other Mimosa continues to grow, although I believe that I will harvest a few grams from that plant! I also started giving him Bud Candy to increase the flavor and a little yield!

Week 9 (27-3 to 2-4) 27-3 Temperature: 25 degrees (lights on) 18.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 63% (highest) 55% (lowest) Added 15L to the reservoir. 28-3 Temperature: 25.1 degrees (lights on) 18.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 56% (lowest) 29-3 Temperature: 27.2 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 48% (lowest) 30-3 Temperature: 25.3 degrees (lights on) 20.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 54% (lowest) 31-3 Temperature: 25.8 degrees (lights on) 20.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) Today i decided to turn of the reservoir/autopots. I think the plants are overwatered, and because of that probably have light stress and other problems. Also, it can be that i underfeeded them, and that the PH was too high. I turned the light down to 40% strength aswell. 1-4 Temperature: 23.6 degrees (lights on) 20.6 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 57% (lowest) 2-4 Temperature: 22.6 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) No pictures.

Well this grow went well up till the end where i managed to get spider mites yet again. Caught it early and at the end of the cycle so there was not a large impact. Now time to scrub the tent and everything in it with bleach.

So this is my first entry. A little late now but oh well. There seems to be a little too much heat from the light and possibly a nutrient deficiency. Since the leaves are showing necrosis and curling up of the edges. I decided to start with raising the lights. And under recommendation of a fellow grower I’m running half the recommended nurse and overwatering this morning to clear out some of the salts or something of that nature. Let’s see what happens moving forward.

Hello growers. Week 3 of 12/12, we have around 25-30 sites developing. She needs around 1.5L of water a day now (run off is giving me 1000ppm) . The soil is testing 6.5 so happy days. I took two clones for the smaller sites that didnt reach canopy level last week and they have been in a dome for a week looking healthy. Hopefully they root this week and I'll move them into some smaller pots to run this girl back in my other tents asap.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Stilton Special will turn out. Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21. Started to germinate the seed. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-23. Seed germinated and put in small pot in the humidity dome. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-27. Slow and steady she grows. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added a movie.
