🌱 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!

Hi Gromie's, well it's the end of another problem free week!
Week 9 going into week 10 of veg!
I don't usually veg for this long but I'm just trying to get the timing right for perpetual harvest.
Plants in flowering tent were harvested & drying now for 5 days, so these girls will be transferred to the flowering tent in the next few days for the start of flowering, I've allready planted new seeds for the following grow, so just trying to get on top of the timing for everything related with perpetual growing.
Thinking of setting up a 4x2 tent with a 4 inch extraction fan & filter for drying, so I can cut out around a week, that way as soon as I've harvested & cleaned the tent I can transfer plants from veg instead of having to dry in the flowering tent. Have developed really strong & thick structure's from the H.S.T & L.S.T training. Plants are nice & healthy.
Performed 1 last defoliation before they go to flower as they get very bushy quickly.

Hi guys
This week we are flushing the ladys, as you can see the fall colours are coming now. The amnesia zkittles smells amazing 👏 I can't wait to try this strain. Never the less the smoothie and orangesherbert smells amazing too. Another week of water and all will be down.

Day 129. I still push her ;)))
When I did mistake with lights and plants started to reveg in flower - they looked very similar and managed to finish in 3 weeks after lights were sorted. Those still have one more left till that time will run out... Hope she will catch up ... She stinks most from all 3 Northern Lights and I loved the taste of both chopped ...
Terrible looking, most probably inside part of colas will be overmatured and full off worthless inside leaves, which will go yellow by chop time . ... They are very heavy tho ;)
Never had such situation, so want to know the end, hope it's not bud rot ;)))
She has 16 girls in veg/preflower stage around, humidity not the best ....
Day 136. Last girl is going down, I will try to trim her, but most probably I will send all to bubble hash. She smells amazing, but looks sad... Most airy plant in my life, which went foxtailing too ;)))
You can't have them all good I guess ... I have 1.525 kg from first 8, it's already outstanding result even without her ...
But maybe I will go for bravery - will trim her all ...
All last updates will be on harvest week.
Happy Growing !!!

2/1 Week 12!
Re-introducing the Peak PK in low dose as I begin to migrate the plant to all Peak and then flush I hope all in less than two weeks.
Will step things daily, tomorrow it will be 10 ml CT 10 ml Peak with an eye on the ppm. You get the idea, she has to finish and fast.
Valuable lesson, don't have anything ever backed up behind a sativa grow waiting on them to finish, it aint worth it. Grow em at the end of a cycle.
2/2 put the feed at 12ml CT 7ml Peak thought maybe its too much of a swing, tomorrow 10 and 10
2/3 10ml of each this morning.
Got to move things along, new plan is to begin flush at start of new week this weekend,
At flush changing lights to 12/12 , binding her back up just a little, then placing one of the testers on a stand in the tent to take pressure off the veg tent.
5-7 days later we harvest based on what we see.
We cannot come up with anything better
As far as growth she is doing great, its a heavy plant and the hairs are still straight and 95% white! Build so fast
2/4 All is well
Tara really seems to like the 10-10 dose so leaving it for now.
Changed light schedule to match the veg tent. This is to accommodate the near arrival of one of the photos.
In a few days the plant will have to finish off at 12-12 so the photo can flip. Not ideal but practical from our point of view.
Keeping our hopes up here and uttering my characteristic prayer... Please God dont let me foul this up... Amen
2/5 Feeding as before
Had to bind her up a bit, she is so heavy we were afraid of her toppling over. Seriously this plant is TOP HEAVY.
Which is good I guess 😬
Not flushing till I see it is time, not messing this one up.
Dont get plants like this everyday.
2/7 Ending the week with a full tent again
Switched lights to 12-12 and bound her up to fit in half the tent, we literally could not come up with anything else for this.
She just keeps going and going lol
DRY WEIGHT ON RIPLEY!
261 grams
Hoped for more but meh sativas.
Still nothing to sneeze at 😇

My first attempt at a scrog and only started it at day 7 of flower so a real rush job. Very happy with the outcome, bud quality is very high as is flavour and all from a 20L pot.

Very healthy looking seedling, starting to grow very fast, she's got a great size for 14 days only and I think I'll transplant her in a couple of days more when she is 17 days or so like the other ones in this run, they grow extremely fast under the tsl2000 by mars hydro, very happy with the results I'm achieving in terms of growth, I hope the same in flower! I have Transplanted this lady into her definitive 11l pot on February 6th which is her day 17 since she was planted, she's 4 days younger than the rest of the plants in this 2x4 run, she's looking very healthy and strong, let's see how she keeps developing herself!

Okay so I’ve been slacking a bit on the grow-diaries, only because I’ve had a lot going on and also because I don’t feel obligated to do so because this isn’t a sponsored grow. It’s been nice to have a little break but I think I’m ready to come back at it full force again.
These girls are living their best lives, they are all the same age and they are all thriving. Floraflex nutrients, as well as some Silica, Regina-root, and a trichome enhancer called “Grease”!! Seems like the real deal. Watering every other day and let me tell you these girls are very thirsty. Defol as needed!
My new HLG Blackbird lamp fixture is out of this world. My 3 autos that you can also find in my profile absolutely blew up. I typically fit 4 autos in my 3x3 but now it’s essentially one Purple punch from Fastbuds and I had to cram 2 more inside basically because they are going crazy. Unfortunately I had to move them from under the blackbird and put them under a HLG350R and they are still going crazy. Basically what I’m saying is HLG Lamps=Crazy growth and amazing lamps!! HLG has a lifetime customer!
That’s it for now but check in next week to see the progress!
Thanks for tuning in. Until next time and as always, Stay Smokey my Friends!!! 💨💨💨

Start of week 8 for DG. Buds are still filling out. Wondering when of if I should flush her before harvest? Only been using Cronk Nutrients for a couple of weeks so I don’t think there should be too much of salt build up. Haven’t tested and ppm from runoff. She still showing a little bit of bite or light burn so I fed her plain ph’d water for 2 feeds in a row so we’ll see.
The GWK is starting week 7. She’s taller but still has a lot of filling out to do. She also showed a few leaves of nute burn but I’m pushing her. She had one plain water feeding this past week. She’s looks great though.
Flush or no flush? I think I’m a couple weeks out from DG harvest.

On the final few days of a 10 day flush.
Will be chopping down this week to harvest and hang dry.
Really excited to try this one. The smells in the room are unreal.

Hola al mundo mundial.
De nuevo por aquí con nuevo seguimiento de mi humilde cultivo exterior.
Pasado el solsticio de verano.
Semillas en agua de osmosis 46 horas , luego entre servilletas unas 29 horas más y al sustrato, un sustrato light-Mix .
Segundo fué enterrar las semillas en el sustrato con precaución y ponerlo todo bajo unos fluorescentes de 150W 4000K 18/06h.
Antes de pasarlas a exterior me gusta tenerlas unos dias en interior, no muchos , entre 15-20 dias. Me gusta que salgan a ver el mundo ya con cierta madurez.
