It's a nice change of pace to have these warmer temperatures, even if it's not quite spring yet. Low 40s during the day is a lot more comfortable than what we've been dealing with lately. Hopefully, this is a sign that spring's around the corner. My Blackberry Moon Rocks are growing like crazy! Most of the leaves are a nice, deep green, but I noticed a few on one plant were a little yellow. I did some research and it sounds like they need some extra nutrients, so I'll be adding those in on the next watering. I can't wait to see how much bigger and bushier these beauties get.

Bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana a la sexta semana de floración de esta cepa de dominancia sativa y actualmente "La Reina de mi jardín de la alegría"... God save the Queen!! 😍 Otra semana de fácil y satisfactorio cultivo, la planta a parado el crecimiento vegetativo y se esfuerza en la creación de flores, las mismas flores que aparecen a lo largo de todas las ramas y que avanzan una gran cosecha con largas y gruesas colas. Las marcas de carencia de Magnesio que aparecieron la semana pasada son historia después de la aplicación en superficie de Dolomita y sal de epsom y la recuperación, para riegos, del Ormus (Ca, Mg). Durante toda esta semana han habido niveles de humedad relativa muy bajos, alrededor del 30%, y temperaturas altas, he rociado varias veces, las plantas con agua para aumentar la humedad en los armarios, también he activado dos pequeños humificadores y sobre todo he mantenido las plantas muy hidratadas, afortunadamente ayer cambió el clima y ha comenzado a llover con bajada de temperaturas. Como hubo una aparición de arañas en otro cultivo rocié esta planta, también, con jabón potásico. El consumo de agua de este cultivo es muy alto, y en los días secos aumento todavía más, he mantenido y mantengo el sustrato muy hidratado para favorecer la circulación de líquidos, cuidando a la vez la salud de las raíces. Esta semana riegos alternos con nutrientes y otros con agua pura de manantial, preparando las raíces para aumentar las dosis de nutrientes conforme avance la floración. DECODIFICANDO EL CULTIVO 😛 - Día 93. Riego multicomponentes, con Microorganismos de Montaña Activados de forma líquida con minerales y nutrientes NPK al 2,6%, Humato potásico de leonardita que añade ácidos húmicos y fúlvicos, materia orgánica y extra de potasio al 1,5% y melaza para dar energía a los Microorganismos. PH: 6.40, EC: 1.70. 1000ml. - Día 95. Para ayudar a la disolución del riego anterior: Agua de manantial. PH: 6.7, EC: 0.50. 1000ml. - Día 97. Riego para fortalecer el cultivo. Agua de montaña y garbanzos (EC: 0.44), MMA con calabaza, zanahoria y Quitosano al 3,5% y Ormus (Ca, Mg...+PH) al 0,5%. PH: 6.80 EC: 1.54. 1100ml - Día 98. Agua de montaña y alubias. PH: 6.62 EC: 0.50. 250ml. • ORGANIC TIP 😋 Activación de Microorganismos de Montaña con Calabaza, zanahoria, minerales y quitosano para fortalecer las defensas de la planta contra patógenos. Después de 45 días de fermentación anaeróbica he abierto, lo que espero que sea un gran fertilizante para usar desde la etapa de crecimiento vegetativo hasta la preflora y primeras semanas de floración. La calabaza y la zanahoria contienen multitud de minerales y vitaminas que ayudan a fortalecer el cultivo y ayudan a la expansión de las raíces. Este preparado es comparable, funcionalmente, con los extractos de algas, aunque mucho más completo. Esta hortaliza es rica en antioxidantes. Destaca su contenido en carotenos, que son los responsables del color característico de la calabaza. ¿Será que esto puede influir en los colores de las cepas?... en observación!! Gracias a la fermentación anaeróbica con Microorganismos de Montaña, los nutrientes, vitaminas y minerales son quelados por la acción de los MM, consiguiendo así un caldo nutritivo de primer orden que las plantas asimilan de inmediato. INGREDIENTES: Agua de manantial alcalino: 2,5L Suero de leche: 1L Microorganismos de Montaña Sólidos (varias cepas): 400g Melaza orgánica: 120g. Levadura de cerveza y fresca: 10g. Calabaza y zanahoria fresca: 475g. Cáscara de camarón deshidratado y molido (Quitosano): 6.5g • Minerales: 10g de Roca fosfórica: P 7g de Azomite: Ca, Fu, Fe, K, Si, B y trazas de el resto de minerales de la tabla periódica. 8g de Ceniza de palmera: Ca y K. 5g de Piedra Pómez: Si, Al, Fe, Ca, K. 8g de caolin con Illita: Fe, Si. 5g de Sal de Epsom: Mg. • Elementos contenidos en la calabaza y zanahoria: Aminoácidos: alanina, arginina, cucurbitina, cistina, glicina, histidina, isoleucina, lisina. Ácidos: linoleico, aspártico, oleico, palmítico salicílico y fólico. Vitaminas: Vitaminas A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, E, A, C, K Minerales: calcio, cobalto, boro, magnesio, zinc, potasio, hierro. Azúcares: sacarosa PROCEDIMIENTO En este bio preparado he hecho una pre-hidrólisis de la calabaza y zanahoria, cociéndolas durante una hora con melaza para mejorar luego, en la fermentación, la disolución de todos sus elementos. También he hecho una pre-hidrólisis con la cáscara de camarón, esta vez he hecho una hidrólisis alcalina con KOH, que luego de dos horas añado a la mezcla final y además una disolución en agua, con mucha agitación, de los minerales. Disuelvo todos los elementos y añado levadura de cerveza y fresca para dar comienzo a la fermentación. Coloco en una bolsa de malla los Microorganismos de Montaña Sólidos de mis dos semilleros, donde reúno los Microorganismos (Bacterias de la familia de los Actinomicetos, Levaduras y Hongos (Micorrizas), Microalgas y Protozoarios) de seis bosque vírgenes de mi zona. Cierro el bidón herméticamente con válvula de escape de gases, como estamos en Enero y hace frío he puesto una cinta de calor alrededor del bidón para mantener una temperatura constante de aproximadamente 36°C, de esta manera el preparado puede estar listo en tan sólo 30 días, si fuera el caso de dejarlo a temperatura ambiente el preparado demoraría 2 meses más en estar disponible para uso. La fermentación comenzó a los 60 minutos y se ha alargado durante 25 días sin interrupción. He abierto el bidón a los 45 días, el olor ha fermentado es muy agradable, el color fantástico, algunos Microorganismos se ven prosperando en la superficie, separo medio litro para ir usándolo y cierro el bidón otra vez. Tengo varios cultivos incipientes donde voy a aplicar este fertilizante y observar sus efectos.

Plants took a few days to get stripped down. Missed the second week of flowering and stretching but oh well there is always next time. Very excited to see this canopy full of uniform buds its going to be a sight to behold haha.

🌸 Week 4 Flower Report: Growth, Challenges & Big Changes! 🌸 Hey, Grow Diaries Fam! ✨ We’re here at Week 4 of Flower, and what a week it’s been—packed with challenges, adjustments, and exciting progress! Before diving into the details, let’s start with a note on my flowering timeline. While this is Week 4, I don’t start counting flower days the moment I flip to 12/12. Instead, I wait for the plants to show true signs of bloom. It’s a small but significant distinction that keeps things accurate and aligned with the plants’ development. 🌱 Defoliation: Timing is Everything! Defoliation is a critical part of the flowering stage, and I typically wait until Day 21. However, this week, I tackled it earlier on Day 17 because: 1️⃣ The room was simply too full. 2️⃣ And most importantly—the Papaya Zoap had other plans! She’s a fighter—determined, defiant, and constantly reaching for the moon. Despite intense training like super cropping, she’s still pushing upward, nearly outpacing the LED lights. Challenges like this remind us of a simple truth: gardening mirrors life. It’s about resilience, adaptation, and unwavering determination. 💪 This week, I added a second SCROG layer. While this net will support the flowering colas, it’s also there to strategically manage the Papaya Zoap. Why? Because experience has taught me that if she grows out of the LED’s range, she won’t finish properly—and that could disrupt the balance for every other plant in the tent. It’s all about teamwork, even in the garden. 🌟 Defoliation was intense, removing nearly all the leaves with stems to clear space and boost airflow. The tent now looks dramatically different! For the full before-and-after transformation, be sure to check out my YouTube channel—trust me, you’ll want to see this process up close! 🎥✨ Switching to Aptus Holland Minerals A major milestone this week: I’ve transitioned entirely to Aptus Holland Minerals. 🌊 From now on, it’s just minerals—no more organic inputs. This marks the start of a new chapter, and I’m incredibly curious to see how the plants react to these changes. Here’s the current nutrient mix: • System Clean: 0.5 ml/L • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L • RO Water Conditioner: 0.8 ml/L • All-in-One Liquid: 2.1 ml/L I’m keeping the pH at 6.1 and TDS at 556 ppm, and so far, the plants are thriving. This week also included a thorough system clean, ensuring everything runs smoothly as we enter the final flowering stages. 🌿 Bud Development: Pure Magic! The bud formation across all the genetics is nothing short of incredible. Every plant is thriving, and the canopy is lush, vibrant, and full of potential. I’ve raised the PPFD to 750 for this stage, with temps steady at 25°C and RH at 63%—keeping the VPD dialed in at 1.11. The TrolMaster ecosystem, paired with the AutoPots, makes managing these precise conditions seamless. With more time to focus on the plants, I can give them the daily care they deserve. 💚 Shoutouts & Gratitude A huge thank you to my sponsors and supporters: TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Pro-Mix, Cannakan, and the amazing seed banks. Your incredible products and technology make this journey possible. 🌟 To the Grow Diaries community and all my followers—thank you for your energy, love, and even the challenges from the haters. It all fuels this incredible process, and I apprecilove every bit of it. Special shoutout to Brother Daggadna—check him out on Instagram and show some love! 💚 The plants are heading into the next phase of bloom, and I can’t wait to share how this story unfolds. 🌸✨ As always, stay tuned, stay positive, and let’s keep growing strong together! 🙌 Growers’ love to all 💚 #TrolMaster #AptusHolland #GrowLife #CannabisCommunity #FlowerWeek4 #NeverGiveUp #GrowWithLove #IndoorHorticulture #Defoliation #PPFD #ControlledEnvironment #SCROGNet #DogDoctorOfficial Discount Codes so you can save big on your next check out 💚💚💚 Kannabia - DOGDOCTOR 30% off SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off CannaKan- DOGDOCTOR 15% off terpyz.eu - DOCTOR 15% off The Neutralizer - PORKIT5-DOG 15% off As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and so joyful with you all in my life 🙏
 With true love comes happiness 💚🙏 Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver and the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so 💚 Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love to you all 💚💚💚 P.S. – A Deep Dive into the ICL-300: Revolutionizing Under-Canopy Lighting The ICL-300 isn’t just another LED—it’s a game-changer for under-canopy lighting. Unlike traditional LED systems that project light in a single direction, the ICL-300’s 300-degree design ensures even light distribution beneath the canopy. 🌟 This unique feature means that no part of your plant is left in shadow, creating a balanced environment for lower buds to thrive. Key Tech Specs & Benefits: • 300-Degree Light Distribution: This design fills the under-canopy space with optimal light, enhancing photosynthesis where it often gets neglected. 🌱 • Full Spectrum Output: Tailored to meet the specific needs of plants at every stage, ensuring quality growth from base to apex. • Energy Efficiency: Advanced LED technology delivers maximum output with minimal energy usage, keeping costs down and sustainability up. 💡 • Durability & Heat Management: Built with high-quality materials, the ICL-300 stays cool and reliable, even in intense growing environments. Why It Matters: Under-canopy lighting is a game-changer for growers aiming to maximize yield and quality. Typically, lower buds receive less light, resulting in larfy or underdeveloped flowers. The ICL-300 changes that dynamic entirely by turning shadows into opportunity. 🌟 With light evenly dispersed across the entire plant, you’re not just growing; you’re sculpting a masterpiece. For me, the ICL-300 is more than a tool—it’s a partner in innovation. It ensures that every plant in my grow room has equal opportunity to shine, from the top colas to the smallest buds at the base. When paired with a carefully managed ecosystem, like the one powered by TrolMaster, the potential for consistent, top-quality harvests reaches new heights. This isn’t just about adding light—it’s about adding value, efficiency, and balance to the grow process. I’m beyond excited to see how the ICL-300 transforms the game in my tent, and I can’t wait to share the results with you all! 💚

I put plants into 48 hours of dark to replenish thc and reduce chlorophyll an sugars..helps reduce cure time..

All right these fastbuds auto are getting huge man I’m really impressed by those strains 💪💪🤩✌️

Elle va bien . Rien de trop compliqué avec Gaïa Green et environ 3 l d’eau à tout les 2 3 jours…

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Probably about 2-3 weeks of Veg

Harvest done 250g

Getting closer to the finish line. Smelling amazing and fruity. More than half the hairs are red. Waiting for a good bit of amber before harvesting. Could still have a week or two judging from other similar diaries. Leveled out on height a week or two ago.

Как-то незаметно мы уже пересекли условный экватор, и пока всё ОК. Очередная сломанная магистраль намекает от том, что пора прекратить подгибания, хоть экран до конца и не заполнен, как я планировал. Включил боковой доствет, теперь у меня горят все лампы😎 В третий раз дал Delta9(повторно по листу). На новых листочках появился первый "снежок"❄️ Собираюсь убрать всё лишнее, когда растишки остановятся в росте, а пока остаётся только ждать и наблюдать. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

11/18/2025 Week 8 and we aren't done yet. Shame that. I'd say another 2 weeks, so a total of 10 weeks? At that point, I'd rather 12 weeks and have some hefty buds. We'll see. They have ideal conditions, constant maintenance of the water mix. pH was out of control last week, so we are gonna try harder to keep it at 5.8. I might change that to 6.0. I know autos like a slightly higher pH in flower. I'll have to research that myself. Papaya Cookies looks great! She's about 24 inches tall now. Her root ball isn't very big, but we discovered that a couple weeks ago. However, she's still drinking a little under a gallon and that's a decent amount per day. She's not going to be the best producer, but I think I'll get a pretty good amount. Internodal spacing is pretty long, so trimming will be super easy. If I had to guess, I'd say a decent 5 oz out of this plant. From my experience so far, the height of the plant and the amount of bud sites, no to mention the size of the buds. I expect really big cones. The flower surface is huge. My theory is that buds of plants, flowers, etc, grow into their petals. Cannabis petals are the final fan leaves and the sugar leafs of the plant. The buds usually engulf those smaller leaves to make colas. The ones that are on my plant are gigantic. We'll see if my theory pans out. Lemon Cherry Cookies, who is now 25 inches, is definitely the winner in this little race. I know I've said it before and it was quite obvious well before now, but I wasn't sure who would give the most bud. This lady is COVERED in bud. There's about 5 inches of empty space on the bottom, but from there up, it's just bud bud bud. The internodal spacing is really short and the buds look like they will be huge. The flowering sites aren't as big as they are on Papaya Cookies, but plenty big enough. This week we are dropping the environment. I need to get her to 40% humidity and the VPD at 1.6 kPa or slightly lower. Not exactly sure what the temp will be, but it should stay around 75°. Or well, I will make it stay at 75°. I don't think it's time to start dropping the temp. Not for another week or so. I also can't get the water temp below 71°. Not that it matters really. The water will be changed when lights on. And it also drops pretty good at night. Like. 69° 68.5° somewhere around there. I'm not buying one of those diy kits. I've looked, you need a power supply, a mounting plate, water pump and tubing. Obviously you'd need all they with diy, but it got really expensive in my Amazon cart. Lol. So nope. I guess I'll need to get a couple water bottles and freeze them. I have the other ones, but I don't think they stay frozen for very long at all. 11/19/2025 Lemon Cherry Cookies: 11 am PPM: 861 Papaya Cookies: 11 am PPM: 910 I think I have nutrient lockout. Testing the TDS. I'll check again after lights on. I added a gallon of plain pHed water to each bucket. It didn't change much. I have a feeling I'll have to actually flush these ladies. What's confusing is how both of them got nutrient lockout. Also, both ladies were praying this morning. No clue why. Nothing has changed. Maybe they are recovering from the lockout? If it's a lockout. Yellowing tips and an increase in the nute concentration. Not sure if the praying has anything to do with it, but I do find a bit of concern with this situation. On a better note, both plants are loaded in frost. Papaya Cookies has the most. Not bad. We'll see how they come out. The environment is doing great! All on point. 75° and 40% VPD is like 1.58 kPa. Excuse me a moment while I get high as a kite...waiting music... Ok all good now. Anyway, where was I? Oh right. The environment. Near perfect. I want to touch back to the frostiness again. As I understand it, trichomes are defensive mechanisms and also used to catch pollen. The point is that these ladies are stressed and getting frosty. And if they are praying because of light stress...?? Then they would be producing more trichomes. I'm not sure. Honestly I'm at a loss here. Anyone know? OMFG!!! I forgot. I found a 2 sets of balls on the lower part of Lemon Cherry Cookies. I got them off before they had a chance to pop open. Then I searched the shit out of the plant. Nothing else. I even searched all over Papaya Cookies. I've searched a few days in a row. So if that's the case, and those sacks were there, then the plants are right on point for trichome production. Hence why I'm confused. This is the right time for trichomes, but is the plant still stressed? And how much? We have distinctive yellow tips indicating a deficiency. (Lockout) Also, if this is a subtle change over on the stage of growth, like peak flowering or something like that. I'll be back with updated water specs. Lemon Cherry Cookies: 5 pm : Ppm: 882 Papaya Cookies: 5 pm: Ppm: 914 11/20/2025 Kinda same morning today. pH was high, but not too bad this time. 6.4. The TDS was reading 1050 on both ladies. Lemon Cherry Cookies had the pH of 6.4 while Papaya Cookies was a little bit lower. 6.35 to be exact. I added plain pHed water to the mix to dilute it a bit. It dropped them both to around 875 ppm. But the pH was still high. So I brought that down to 5.8. The issue I'm running into is the speed the pH rises. It climbs all the way up to 6.6 sometimes. It's been 4 hours since I pHed the water and it's already at 6.2. I think it's a little too fast. Another thing that was a bit odd this morning is that both plants were happily praying which hasn't really happened in about a week. Maybe they're recovered, BUT the ppms were still higher than yesterday. But now the pH is higher as well. I'm having trouble diagnosing. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated. Now, it's lights out and they are still praying. At least from what I can see. I'm looking through a night vision camera, so the buds kinda overwhelm the lens I think. Too white and sparkly. I dunno. Can't find anything on that either. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Lemon Cherry Cookies is starting to fill her buds out. The stacks are coming in. I wonder how much they slowed down. Seems like a bit to be honest. Not too stoked for that. I did notice that some of the older leaves are popping off again. Looks like it's time to remove a few before next lights out. I don't think that causes any stress when you pop them off like that. I'm not 100% sure, but I think when they pop off is when they become obsolete and use more energy than taking it in. Just a theory. Unless these are the leaves that will turn colors, I might as well meticulously pop them off over the next few days. It'll open some more space how that the new stuff is now big old stuff. Papaya Cookies is also looking pretty good. Although, her leaves still won't pop off. I know a lot of it was new growth, but there was some older stuff I left on there. They still won't pop off. I wonder what that means. They should pop off. At least the older stuff. I really don't want to remove anything that is still bringing energy to the plant. But at the same time, I don't want her to start to crowd. We'll have to see what happens over the next few days. Just a few here and there, mind you. I'm not doing a full defoliation in the middle of the flowering stage. Lol. But a few here and there won't hurt but will help the rest of the plant direct energy to the buds. If I didn't need the weed and had more plants, I'd try stripping the plant of most of her leaves just to see what happens. The environment is looking pretty stable now. Day temp was around 75° and the RH was about 45%. The VPD was like 1.56 kPa still right where I want it. Night time is pretty good too. The temp is 68° and the RH is 43%. The VPD is 1.34 kPa. Not bad, but I'd like it closer to 1.4 kPa. 11/21/2025 Frosty and smelly! That's what I woke up to this morning. Very happy. Both ladies seem to have recovered from their little issue. Now they are super happy. Slightly praying and stacking nicely. I am going to say another 2 to 3 weeks. A lot more time than I anticipated, but bigger buds, so I can't complain. Especially with how healthy these 2 are now. Papaya Cookies drank just over a half gallon. Her TDS dropped a little, but so did the pH...5.3 pretty low. However, with a top off of pHed mix, everything looks good now. Her leaves still aren't plucking off like they should be. It's very interesting to me. I wonder why. It's not new growth, that's for sure. Anyway, I did a little bit of snipping today. Like 12 leaves. All big and blocking bud sites. Had to dig a little bit to get a couple of them. Those ones were blocking airflow. Nothing crazy. So she won't really notice. Lemon Cherry Cookies is stacking. Or at least she looks to be stacking. In reality, the buds under the top are just filling out. But still a very much needed swell. Hopefully the next 2 to 3 weeks will show some super impressive bud. I also removed about 10 leaves. Those were also blocking bud sites and one big one in the middle blocking airflow. She has tons of frost on her now. So sticky! The environment was a little warm this morning. In fact, 77.6°. nothing crazy. But still a little bit warm. They, of course, probably enjoyed it. Anyway, that's about it for the weather today. I really have to get into the routine of specs again. Like with VPD, CO2, water specs. Like temp, EC, TDS and pH. I just need to get used to it. Never had so much info to go off of. Soil was really messy for me. Not only literally, but figuratively as well. I could never tell what they needed. And I could never tell if there were air pockets. Granted it was easy, but I still find this one more comfortable. Knowing all the things. Very important to me. That's all for now. 11/22/2025 So today was kinda weird. Papaya Cookies pH plummeted to around 4.8 and the TDS was high as well as the EC. Not sure what that means, I'll have to research it, but yah, that got fixed right away. TDS was 1050 ppm EC was 2.0. On the other hand, Lemon Cherry Cookies looks great! Her pH drifted a little. It's at 6.05. So I left it. I'll pH back to 5.8 this afternoon after lights out. The environment was pretty good this morning. The temp was a little higher than usual. 77.6°. The humidity was also a bit high. 48%. I think the VPD was still good though, maybe a little over. I didn't look at it. My bad. I plucked some leaves today. Not a ton, but a bunch. Both plants had some larger leaves that needed to be gone. Blocking airflow and light. I chose wisely. One thing I learned was how sticky these buds are. They are sticky and smelly. It's awesome. And they aren't even close to done. Speaking of buds, they are starting to take a better shape. Both plants have the cone shaped buds. But are also looking like they'll get pretty fat. Just gotta let them do their thing. 11/23/2025 Yet again the pH for Papaya Cookies crashed all the way down to 4.6. In just 16 hours. No clue what to do, so I took a gallon then added a gallon of plain pHed to 6.5 water. Then I pHed it up 6.2 the plain water dropped the TDS down to 850 ppm and the EC to 1.75. I don't expect it to stay there at all. Not in the next 6 hours. Hopefully it only swings down a bit. And hopefully it will be able to take in the nutrients it hasn't been able to get because of the crash. There's no upward swing, so the plant isn't getting a lot of nutrients she needs. Lemon Cherry Cookies also had a swing. The TDS spiked to 1050 ppm and the EC to 2.0. The pH only climbed a little bit. Up to 6.1. So I added some plain pHed water to bring the concentration down and then pHed. I think I need to replace a gallon like I did with Papaya Cookies. I want the TDS down to like 800 to 850. Around there. I'm starting to feel like maybe there's just too much for her to handle. Both of them, to be honest. But I can't tell. They are growing and smelly. And this is about the right time, so we should be seeing some major swelling over the next couple of weeks. The smell is still pretty planty, but it's just the beginning. When the trichomes start to get cloudy and the leaves begin to turn, they will both have the full flavor profile ready for the sniffing. The environment is a bit off today for lights out. It's hanging out at 69° but the humidity is higher than I'd like at 49%. I know it's not bad at all, but I want perfection with my AI system. The CO2 is now really starting to crank up. I'm hoping I'll get a good amount in the coming few days. I'd like to increase the light intensity a bit. But I can't until I figure out how to clear up the nutrient challenge. 11/24/2025 SMH more plain water in Lemon Cherry Cookies. But the pH dropped this time. So that's good, but the mix is back up to 1050 ppm. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not seeing any signs of stress. Nothing new anyway. Maybe I need to drop it to like 700 or 750. But it's too late to screw around. If the problem persists tomorrow, I'll drain another gallon and replace it with a very mild dose. And then top off with plain pHed water. Annoying thing, when I move my plants around to pH the water, they get stuck on things. Well, so far I've had 3 branches supercrop themselves on wires, the other plant and when I put the bucket in the tent. Point is the space is small. I bet I could grow a huge plant in this tent, but then it's just one strain. I need a bigger tent. And with the bigger tent, it'll still be tights, but not so much where I can't make space. I'd be tight because I'd be running photos and keeping them in veg til they reach every wall. Wall to wall tops. Then flower. Let them stretch and boom a complete sea of colas. Papaya Cookies had a very low pH again, but the mix was fine. 925 ppm. Anyway, I added some nutrient water and pHed it back to 5.8. She's also getting orange hairs on top. Pretty early if you ask me. It could have been me accidentally brushing against them with my arm while I tried to get fan leaves. Who knows. The environment is back to normal for lights out and this morning. It did get kinda hot when I closed to tent back up after working with the water. Like 78°. But I have CO2, so it should be fine. The increase in light seems to be fine. I'm not seeing any signs of stress or anything. The CO2 is honestly inconsistent. And that's because the fan runs too high and pulls it all out before it can hit the plants. It bounces between 750 and 1025. So I'm not sure how useful it is. I'll leave it, but still I need a different setup to make it work right. Also, my inline fan seems to be stalling while it's on full blast. After reading a few articles, the 4" fan works but not as well as it needs to and basically sits at 100% power. So I'll be getting a 6" fan and filter sometime soon. It's obvious, but the 6" fan will do much better at pulling air in. It just does a better job. Not to mention, the 6" filter is super long, so I might be running just that in the tent and the fan on the outside. That's all for now.

One plant has some calcium deficit Defoliation Smell slightly getting stronger Buds getting bigger

Week 9 flower is coming to an end and the Sour Diesel still has about a week to go. I could chop it down now with no complaints I think, the heads are mostly cloudy, no amber, but I’d like these foxtail like growths to fill out, if possible, now that they popped out. Think I had the light intensity to high and far along into flower and that’s why the GG#4 had a few nanners pop late, just displayed the stress in different ways, but what the hell do I know lol 😂. Flowers seem hard and dense but look a little weird with foxtails and the tips are stretched strangely and can see a bit of the centre stalk on a few lower and further from the light. The foxtail growth is also happening lower down as well which makes me think genetics, I dunno? Stripped most the large leaves that I could easily get at and just watering still letting the soil stay a bit on the dryer side, but consistent. Steadily lowering the humidity the best I can and manage, but it’s a bit difficult as I took down the humidifier to clean and get ready for harvest and got the dehumidifier going, but got another cold snap coming through and it’s dry outside and the house heat is running, don’t have a clean filter for the humidifier now, trying to get it right, right to the end, but Mother Nature is making my unnatural grow difficult lol. Thanks for the view and long read if you made it to the end! Keep calm and grow on!

Ok this week is going well. Some of them are stretching more then the others and that's ok. Of the little bit of smells I got from them just buy rubbing a frosty sugar leaf the 1st "blue" plant has hints of mint, the 2nd "red" smells like generic weed and the 3rd "yellow" is kinda a mix of the both. I was thinking they wold have stretched more but guess not. Still have another week or two before the stretch is done and its starts to thicken up. Plants are showing some signs of something, have not looked into to much but the blushing of the leaves on plant #1 "blue" could be from my heavy hand at water or cooler nighttime temps that have been hitting it. This is the one that is having the most issues. Because of this I did a soil slurry test of all three pots and they all had aorund the same EC but the PH was different in each by a significant amount. it went up from plants 123 it is to high in plant 3 and kinda high in all the others as well yet looks fine, and the one with the highest PH its the biggest of them all. go figure. Could have been a bad sample. I did not want to disturb the roots to much but wanted to get a full spectrum of soil from top to bottom of pot. I brushed off the top dressing to not artificially mess up the EC results and took it from about a inch in from the edge of the pot in one location only vs multiple. #1 "Blue"........EC=0.25||PH=7.20 #2 "Red".........EC=0.32||PH=7.36 #3 "Yellow"....EC=0.27||PH=7.95 With this in mind I will contemplate the idea of lowering the PH levels of the water I give them to help offset this. from 6.5 down to aorund 6-6.2 Have not checked in on clone is a while, they have been outside hardening off for the most part. I only have clones of plant #2 "red" and #3 "yellow" the #1 "blue" clones died and IDK what one is what in the 2nd round of clones I just tossed a bunch of cutting from all of them into a jar. so their is some #1 blue in there maybe, I know its mostly one of the plants just can't recall what one. Applied some BTi to the soil in the last water to kill the gnats, thought I had some nematodes leftover but I did not so went out and got some BTi at the grow shop. Should do the trick. 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.
