This week ia am planning to let it grow just like this. Hopefully I will receive a plant camera next week to monitor my VPD. Also added an IRheater to keep temperature stable The infrared heater does its job, but I find it a waste of electricity, 3.6 kWh in one night. So I've decided to install a gas heater instead, which delivers the same result at a much lower cost and also provides additional CO2. The heater can then keep the temperature above 21˚C with the lights off. The natural gas heater will be used with the lights on. I need to quickly find a CO2 sensor because too much CO2 has a counterproductive effect, as I've already noticed. Approximately 1200 PPM at 32˚C is optimal as long as I can maintain a DLI of 35. Great technology is on the way. Added: Installed CO2 burner, run it for 6 minutes every hour. Temp raises from 22˚C to 27˚C in about 7 minutes. CO2 detector (just colors, no values) doesn't alarm so not above 1500PPM CO monitor also no alarm :) Running for 4 hours now and a visible change is there. Tomorrow I will know if it is ok or not. Added a few pictures. Lets see if we can see the difference tomorrow. 26-05: Added Dimlux Maxi controller for CO2 and VPD. Works nice. 28-05: Topped a few 31-05 Added additional 300W to heat the stuff up. RH is stable but high on 72%. Could add a dehumidifier but since CO2 is already there and my VPD is around 0.8 I thought adding light would be cheaper. Can go up to 33˚C before my floor is heating up too much. Also cleaned the watertank. So from now on they are on Ata Max

Hola amigos! Buenos humos a todos! 🌊🤙 La semana anterior no hice actualización, pero he estado haciendo lavado de raíz casi en todas las plantas. La humedad acá es todo un reto, 3 ventiladores, 1 deshumidificador y 1 extractor no es suficiente para 1.5m2. No hay forma de bajar del 70%. Hasta arroz he puesto en la base de las macetas. He tenido nuevamente problemas con botrytis y tuve que cortar algunas colas o parte de ellas. Esto es lo peor que puede pasar ya en la última semana. También tuve otro problema, pues a pesar de nunca haber tenido un macho en casa, ni haber detectado alguna hermafrodita, una de las AK47 apareció polinizada y está echando semillas (ya al final de la floración) . Tuve que cortar varias ramas y flores para detener esa producción y así la planta termine de madurar. No sé cómo irá a quedar esa marihuana con ese problema, pero por el tiempo que queda, no creo que termine de formar por completo las semillas. Otra opción pudo ser estrés por exceso de PK o por exceso de calor (más de 27C). Leí que esta sepa es propensa a crear flores macho por estas causas. Todo lo demás anda bien. Les dejo unas pocas fotos y un video rápido. Hoy estoy limpiando un poco y esta un poco desordenado.

Hey guys! Started week #8 Day 52 Sorry for not uploading many pics these past few days ago but you get it we busy and sometimes can't do much even tho we want to! Please check on the last picture at Day 50 and compare to new picture on day 53 You will noticed many changes! We also expanded the net and modified some other lights from setup. We've been good and theyve been great Outdoors everyday and tons of lights and love so she can continue to flower :). Day 53 Fed them medium hard 1710ppm /3.79g floranova bloom Only 300ml followed by 900ml plain water Plus outdoors from 7.30am til 2.30pm Day 54 Ladies are looking good Great day great weather All day outdoors til 6pm Now under CFL til 6.30am Then back outdoors Got some videos today! Day 55 we've updated our set of lights to a new LED grow lights 600 watts plus 100 watts CFL :) Day 56 It's already rocking their bodies Rich in THC Content Look at those crystals!!!! Day 57 End of week 8 Start of Week 9 coming up soon

Fo' Twenny Back with another update on our "GelatO.G" from Seedsman Seeds! 8/24: I did some selective defoliation to help increase light penetration. Next watering will be a flush with 2 tsp/gal of Fox Farm's flush agent SledgeHammer. A flush is recommended after week 3 in the Fox Farm Feeding chart. I figure the recommended flush will do some good considering I have a lot of coco in the mix and there are small amounts of salt fertilizer in my schedule. Everything is growing strong with this lady and she has an abundance of growing shoots. She is stretching nicely with good internodal spacing. She responded well to training and is growing perfectly without too much crowding. The leaves all look very healthy and are a nice shade of green. Based on her look and color now, I am guessing she should get some really nice colors as she fades towards the end of flower. 8/28: Flushed the medium with tap H2O run through 2 KDF filters with 2 tsp/gal of Fox Farm Sledgehammer flushing agent and pH adjusted to 6.2. I started by giving 5 gallons. After checking the PPM of the runoff I ended up adding 5 more gallons mixed to same specifications. 10 gallons total was shared by 3 large flowering photoperiod cultivars and 1 smaller autoflower. She probably ended up with about 3 gallons give or take. I didn't measure how much each plant received. I just kept flushing each and checking runoff until it was under 1600 ppm. Thanks for checking out my diary. If you liked this diary, check out my other diaries and give me a follow! Until next time... Peace ☮️, Love 💚, And Frosty Nugs ❄️🌲! -Fo'Twenny

Beginning of week.. As you can see.. The leaves tend to kinda curl.. Its weird.. She'll will be dry asf.. Like the whole cup is lighter than air.. Then as soon as I water, the leaves curl like this.. Is this rootbound? Lol.. Idk.. Maybe.. I can tell by the drainage that the roots are pretty massive in there.. Last time I grew this strain, the roots were fucking massive.. Lets see how this goes! The leaves will end up straightening out today.. But I dont like stressin my ladies! Pistils have been poppin out for at least a week now.. I think she's gonna flower very soon! Next day.. So here is a clone of her.. Just to see what happens.. I may use it to make some feminized pollen with it.. And hopefully inbreed it, as long as everything is timed out right it should be pretty simple. Anyways.. Gave the mama a little haircut.. Removed the fan leaves.. Her canopy is already so perfect.. When one branch is shorter than the others I bend her down and keep her on the side where the light is a bit weaker. She ends up stretching while the longer branches are under the heavier light and they dont stretch much so it gives the shorter branches motivation to stretch lol.. Gotta finesse her lol she loves it! She hasnt been showing any of those "drooping" stress signs anymore.. Before of after watering.. I had another strain do the same before but was perfectly fine afterward.. Just a fluke for a day or some shit idk lol.... Aaand back to the clone.. You can see how the branches werent coming out the same as the others.. The symmetry was off.. That's why I chopped it off.. Wish I woulda just cloned the whole top now.. Lol.. Oh well.. Im sure itll do SoMeThInG lol Mid week.. Went ahead and removed a couple more leaves.. Now it just tops.. Nothing else.. Next week will FOR SURE be week 1 of flower.. She is spittin out pistils like crazy. There is one node on one branch that is missing a leaf.. It has 2 stiples and 2 calyxes.. But no leaf lol.. Crazy.. Other than that.. Shes trucking along.. My last WW Auto took a similar beating.. This girl should be fine after this awful haircut lol.. I just want her to have nothing but tops.. End of week.. She seems happy and healthy.. Only thing I can see is a little nute burn on the leaf tips.. I haven't done much to try and avoid it.. I should probably back off on something.. Next week I will have a better idea! Next week is week 1 of flower.. Haven't noticed much stretching.. If any at all.. But again.. She seems happy and healthy!!! ... On to the next...

It’s not quite week 3 flowering, more so 2.5 wks. I had no choice but to remove a dozen of inner shoots because of how dense the canopy is. Should be it for defo until harvest. This weekend will mark 4 weeks since the last top dress so it’ll be a nice mix included in next wk update. I transplanted into bigger pots with a mix of glacial rock dust, 2-8-4, Kelp Meal.

Little clean up in the tent things got out of control. By removing lowers and inners that would possibly not produce much will definitely let those tops stack up nicely. These buds will without any doubts be rock solid, I can tell by how sturdy those stems already are. I transplanted this week was a nightmare root mass caught everywhere in the 3 Gal, now into 5’s. 👍✌️

I'm like 5 days late with this update so I have had to pin videos that I took the same week while I was communicating with TRYHARD so ignore any dialogue that's out of context they aren't diary logs they are simply correspondence between myself And TRY, oh and sorry about my language I'm common as muck me. The pictures are just random pics I took that week as oppose to my usual more organised method but hey ho I'll do a more tidy job next week. The week went swimmingly barring some nitrogen deff on the lowers which I initially put down to the hot weather drying the pots too quickly and causing nute lockout with the salt buildup so I flushed then gave them a nice feed after they dried the pot at which point I noticed the most heavily afflicted by the N deff were also the quickest drinkers and had lower EC on the runoff so I have been giving them a slightly stronger feed than the others and it seems to have solved everything so I'm happy with that. Bud development is nice, frost is nice, terps are through the roof right now..... Zkittlez ones are really stinking of lime and candy bubblegum Punch ones are stinking berry berry nice! Grandpas Crush is smelling kinda hazey right now but I'm hoping the berries comes out of her too. Little else to report really. Thanks for reading One Love 💚 Fire Farmer🔥👨‍🌾
