Top dressed with some more soil. The top was looking depleted and just want to keep it from completely taking all the nutrients from the soil. Added a mix of power bloom with azomite and glacial rock dust. I watered in with some pure protein dissolved into hot water then added to the water I was using at diluted levels. The second watering they got this week was with molasses. which also does a good job of dropping the ph of my water to the perfect level and a little bit of Epsom salt because I ran out of my cal mag and also want the plant to have plenty of sulfur. Last week the stalks were starting to lean but were all getting good light so I did not mess with them but this week they were sagging just a little too much and i oppted for the plant tie to the top of the tent to keep the buds in the sweet zone of the light and to prevent pockets of an unfavorable environment. Very happy with how the buds are developing. the are not rock hard but dense and the amount of trichomes and weight is surprising when i was lifting the branches. Starting to look like shes slowing down a little but may even go to 9 weeks from the looks of it. i and not going to rush her.

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

Both plants are looking good. Trichomes still not completely cloudy but giving nothing but PH water so that as soon as trichomes are right they can be harvested.

She’s so close! I am crazy excited for harvest. This is my first grow of anything, I’ve never harvested the fruits of my tedious labor. What an adventure this has been! The trim is what I’m really looking forward to, well all of it really. She’s not near as thirsty anymore I watered her four or five days ago (I work nights I don’t know what day it is lol) and she’s still heavy. So close! Peace friends

Blumat system appears to be functioning properly. Drilled a hole in the blumat reservoir for the air pump to go through so I can now fully close the lid.

Germinated some seeds from a bag. Not sure if the grower just accidentally pollinated his flower room or if the plants will have hermy genetics /: Either way I've always wanted to grow and currently in a good situation to do so. Once the seeds popped I started doing a ton of research but the plants were moving quicker than I could possibly get up to speed so kinda winging it at this point. I have some good seeds on the way so treating these as "warm-ups" and will be experimenting with different types of training and hopefully just getting the basics under my belt. The largest plant (Big Mumma) popped her roots out the jiffy bag before the end of wk 1 so I pulled off the netting and transplanted her into a 5L fabric pot with Canna Coco mixed w/ 30% perlite. At this point I'm watering with rainwater and mixing with the recommended dose of Professors Go Green (guy at the hydro store recommended I use it as cal-mag). I do not have a way to measure the EC or PH as I'm waiting for my meters to arrive. The tent arrived by the end of the week and I got it setup and transplanted the rest of the girls.

Week 11 (10-4 to 16-4) 10-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 52% (lowest) No pictures. Added 10L to the reservoir, and turned it on for a couple of minutes. 11-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 21 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 61% (highest) 52% (lowest) 12-4 Temperature: 25.5 degrees (lights on) 22 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 57% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. 13-4 Temperature: 26.5 degrees (lights on) 23 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 56% (lowest) 14-4 Temperature: 26.4 degrees (lights on) 22.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 45% (lowest) Turned the reservoir on for a couple of minutes. The reservoir is almost empty, there is 850 ml left. 15-4 Temperature: 24.4 degrees (lights on) 20 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 59% (highest) 49% (lowest) No pictures. 16-4 Temperature: 23.5 degrees (lights on) 19.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 60% (highest) 53% (lowest) Today i defoliated both plants heavily for the last time, you can say i did a method called: schwazzing. Dont know why but while i was defoliating the Chemdog smelled a little bit like soap haha. Turned on the reservoir for a couple of minutes. (Till the AutoPots are full and the valve closes) Rised the pots aswell, so the canopy is very even. I let them recover from the heavy defoliation i did, and next week i will slowly increase the light's strength. (Now still at 50% 50cm)

Llevamos 13 días desde que se empezaron a germinar, hoy 23/10/23 empezamos a contar la primera semana de crecimiento. He usado ROOTS y GROW de BOOM nutrients. Ya tengo 2 o 3 a punto de descartar, tienen alguna malformación y no crecen igual de rápido esperaremos una semana mas.

// Didn't even have air filtration set up until about 4 days ago, the results have been amazing. Also realized that the water I was mixing my elite nutrients with initally was too high of dosage, so I watered all of them yesterday with the correct amount of nutes and now they're growing like crazy! Topped all of the plants yesterday as well. (11-21-17). // Switched my 600w topshelflight LED to flower mode and changed the light cycle from 18-12 to 12-12. Plan on flushing out all the plants with plain water phed at 6.8 soon but may not, we'll see. Either way plants looking way better then I ever expected them to be for my first time growing. Safe to say I'm hooked! (11-24-17) // Watered all of them yesterday (11-27); half with RO water & the rest with my nutes water. Starting to grow very quickly since I charged my LED to bloom setting! Tallest Black Domina is almost 17 in now. They seem to be adjusting nicely to the new 12-12 schedule.

Well week 7 day 1 (day 50) and the girls are starting to progress. Looking very sticky indeed. Bat taking a cold spell at the moment. Hopefully it passes quick. Day 51, added a small fan to circulate a bit more air as the buds are now starting to fatten up. Day 52, watered them tonight and took this little video. Day 53, just letting them be ✌️ Day 54, only one needed some water the other are still damp. Day 55, watered and fed the other two, really starting to frost up now. Thanks for checking in and I hope you all have a great week! ✌️

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Coconuts. What aren't they good for? Perhaps the most versatile nut in the world. But "its not a nut" you say, "its a legume" you say. Dont even know if thats true, but thats when I smash you across the stomach with my coco/perlite hempy buckets, cuz I got that rage in me... that burning rage.... Welcome to my Hulking Harvest Bruce Banner #3 diary, gonna kill this grow. If you dont know about this strain, just take a look at @Astroboy's recent finish, absolutely epic. Original Sensible Seeds was kind enough to gift me these seeds back in November 2019, back when things were normal. You will see I pay homage to them by having the OSS logo watch over my 4x8 table, thank you to a wonderful breeder, I am quite excited Sooooo much light in here, and all the required electrical work done to run it safely running 3 quantum boards, all 480w, all lm301b diodes. On another table running another 480w. Kaboom Holla at me, love to meet new growers and share ideas. And follow my son Budxless on his adventure into the worlds greatest hobby. This is his first year growing and he's still figuring out GrowDiaries Insta is budxsmedical. I go live on Sunday nights 930pm EST

I looked at the trichomes every 2 days this week. There are still some clear ones but they look cloudy overall. The OG Kush begins to have many amber ones. I started to flush too soon and the plants are now struggling a bit. I will harvest everything next week! The final grow area is around 1,1m x 1,1m.

Blue Dream Auto is doing good. I lollipopped her some today and defoliated a little in the canopy. I changed her to bloom nutrition yesterday. She is starting her stretch now.

These girls are super sticky! Resin is building up all over the place, including the leaves. I've been defoliating like crazy but they just keep coming back.

Day 47, she's a little late in flowering game but that could mean good things lol idk Funny she I said ahead of all the other plants :) 1 gal is purple but so small, DONT USE ANYTHING LESS THAN A 2 gal for autos! Seriously, lol even I feel you want to experiment; use a photo not an auto lol learn from me :) (though I love my baby plants lol) Okay she isn't getting into the 3rd week soon of flowering and Shen has now turned purple haha was getting worried. But she did veg for 5 weeks, and she's wasn't topped or FIM so just took a while lol Christmas video is up and I couldn't be happier with the results; I've been dreaming of winning a contest like this forever and i finally have the chance :)

I found a humidifyer the same day, that somehow arrived the next day! I use rubberbands to manipulate the canopy into being more flat and then I waited how it looks. I think I should bend it a bit more, but I am scared to hurt her .. I also silicone for the sealing, to be bit more sure, because it didnt look good enough for me. I am still not satisfied and will remove everything and start from scratch after this lady. I want the sealing to be absolutely perfect! But she looks really good to me. I like how it works, and it feels way easier than imagined! since I stayed with the all mix when the soil arrived, I dont think I need to feed it until bloom, since I heard, that the all mix has nutritens for 4 weeks

Lots of LST this week, and as always, from the moment I turned on the autopots, they start flying. The recover on the topping and fimming is finally over, from now on I'll just give them another week and flip. the jungle is coming
