🌱 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!

Defoliated bottom parts of plants and lower growth. It's fairly evident now that the CBDiesel isn't going to produce much. The fan leaves and bud sites are tiny in comparison to the other two strains.
Roots have become completely entangled and almost reach the perimeter of reservoir.
Continued to tuck taller growth back under trellis to create even canopy.
Foliar fed 3 times throughout week with half strength solution.
Added pH balanced ice cubes 3 times throughout week to boost oxygenation
Humidity way too high, need to address this fast.

Week 9 - Fourth Week of Flower
The Donutz gang is hitting its stride as the fourth week of flower unfolds. Trichomes are developing beautifully, and the plants are entering full production mode. A few challenges cropped up this week, but quick thinking and some DIY ingenuity kept everything on track.
Key Updates:
Trichome Progress: The resin glands are popping off, with a frosty layer forming across the developing buds. The plants are starting to show their true potential, and the tent is starting to smell.
New Fan Installation: The old ventilator tapped out this week, so a replacement was installed to maintain proper airflow. This ensures the plants stay cool and prevents any issues with humidity or stagnant air.
Lamp Adjustment: The front-left plant shot up too close to the light, so I had to get creative. I built a DIY solution to raise the lamp higher, ensuring even coverage and preventing light stress.
Accident Recovery:
During the light adjustment, I initially tried securing the front-left plant with a rubber band. Concerned it might melt, I removed it, but in the process, the main stem got damaged. Thankfully, the plant is a fighter. The main cola is now growing sideways but remains fully healthy and strong. This unexpected twist has added some character to the tent, and the plant is bouncing back beautifully.
Observations:
Despite the challenges, all plants are thriving, with strong growth and healthy bud development.
The sideways-growing cola on the front-left plant is a unique highlight, showing the resilience of the Donutz genetics.
Next Steps:
Keep monitoring airflow and light height to avoid any further issues.
Continue with the nutrient schedule and reverse osmosis (RO) watering to maintain stability.
Watch the trichomes closely as they continue to mature, signaling the start of the final phases of flower.
The Florida Gang grind is real, and the Donutz are proving their worth week after week. This tent is shaping up to be a legendary grow!

I fiori sembrano gonfiarsi come volevo, le prossime due settimane saranno fondamentali. Poi sospendo i fertilizzanti per le successive due e raccolgo. Un mesetto. Per una Tropicanna Banana una settimana in meno delle altre sicuramente

Flipped it to 12 12 schedule. now I am seeing more pistil hair on the bud sites. Noticing stems are getting more rigid and wood like.

Week 5:
----------
Beginning of the 2nd week of flowering. I have noticed that the 3 biotabs that went into the ground last week, released just a little too much fertilizer in these early days of flowering. You can see that there is slight discoloration in her leaves. We go from the darker green to the lighter lime green, which indicates that she is getting just a little too much P. I fear this will probably continue for the next few weeks. Fortunately, she has a good start and basis and this will not have too many negative effects. Pushing her a little bit doesn't hurt either. Although I think I might consider using only 2 biotabs in 25l soil in the next round. First, let's wait and see how this evolves. Furthermore, of course nothing to complain. Nice further development of her budsites and she also has 2 main branches fighting for dominance. . Unwards to the second week of bloom.
Until next week!

Siguen muy bien las plantas, sigo encontrando hojas manchadas por araña roja pero decidí no aplicar nada de químicos, dejaré que las plantas sigan su proceso y trataré de controlar la plaga solo eliminando las hojas donde encuentre arañas o huevos, la plaga no pone en peligro la producción.
Sigo aplicando Advance Nutrients 2 veces por semana con 3 litros de agua por planta los martes y viernes, los domingos riego con 1 litro de solo agua a cada planta.

Day 15 🌱
everything is going well but I have accidentally decapitated N1, in reality I had topping already N3 but with N1 I broke without doing it on purpose. hope for the best.
Day 16🌱
wow today N1 I see it well it does not seem to have accused the topping. everything seems to be going well for N3 too, he seems to be growing very strong. N2 is in excellent condition.
Day 18 🌱
i am struggling a bit with "lst" but i guess because i started early. otherwise they seem to be growing well
Day 20 🌱
I let them rest for two days. some training again today, they look fit and grow great.
Day 21🌱
N1 and N3 grow great and look great. N2 grows well but has yellowed leaf tips as if I had given too much fertilizer, I think due to the pre-fertilized soil. Now I continue with water and I will check the drain ph
Thanks for viewing.
if you like my diary leave a like and a comment.
come back to see me 🎂
good cultivation and good day💚🌱

This week Went very uneventful. Reduced the fertilizer down to 600ppm and flushed twice on Wednesday and Thursday, on Wednesday I still had 100ppm in the tank after the second flush it went down to 0. Kept her in darkness until Friday night and then started chopping her down.

Tied down in a second place now, going to tie it in a full circle just for something to try before I top it.
