Nurturing My Cannabis Plants: Balancing Light and Protection In the first half of the day, I place my seedlings on a south-facing windowsill to ensure they catch some light. During the evening hours, they travel back to my balcony. This routine helps them get the light they need while staying safe from pests. Protecting My Plants: A Grower's Dilemma I'm hesitant to leave them outside permanently because, unfortunately, all my other vegetables have been eaten by snails. I certainly don't want the same fate for my precious cannabis plants. For now, they’re enjoying a mix of south windowsill and balcony life, which seems to be working well. First Watering: Preparing for Growth Once the coco mix dries out, they will receive their first feeding. Terra Aquatica Tripart is my nutrient trio of choice. I'll start with a half-dose, as recommended by the feeding chart, to ensure they don’t get nutrient burn. First Feeding: A New Stage My ladies seemed to enjoy their sleepover in the greenhouse. Now it's time for their first feeding. I added Cal-Mag to achieve an EC of 0.5 mS/cm to start with. I gave them a half-dose of nutrients as described in the chart and watered with enough runoff.

Straightforward with nothing to report out of the ordinary. I top watered on day 56 then let them dry back prior to harvest (day 61). Nice mix of milky and amber trichomes. Harvested early morning prior to lights on.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

The smaller Potter or extra Gorilla Glue from AMS is doing okay. Still battling a magnesium deficiency I have not stop. This time was from ph dropping. I was unable to care for them for a few days right. They got too dry, and salts cause ph to fall. I tend to feed heavy, but stay well irrigated. She is still growing decent with the Spider Farmer G3000 light. She should be back on track now again. Plus she is now in a bigger Potter. Still small, but bigger. Hopefully she can keep up some with the other Gorilla Glue in there in size enough to not get beat out in light. Thinking ahead for flowering. Everything looks good to go now.

Hi all, sorry for the delay, all continues to go very well, she is handling the nutrients very well wit only a very little tip burn. I increased the light a little bit, as I felt that some of the main colas on the side didn't get enough light. Next week I will probably be able to show the little veg-box I built, since the cuttings are slowly outgrowing their current home.

* ********* Week 7 - May 23 to 29, 2020 - Day 43 to 49 ********** * Good veg week but was expecting more of a flower week😒 Pulled them out and did some stripping. Buds not setting and these two girls are not flipping like the other autos on the go. Patience not being one of my strong suits, in the past I moved plants around into lower light intensity and it helped them to set their buds. These girls bud sites were not setting in early this week so the girls were put into the veg tent and put into a 12/12 light cycle, Wednesday Day 47. They stayed this way the rest of the week. The other girls are well on their way and these two girls are not coming along. Forcing them to set their buds into 12/12 becuase they all flower at that point😃 I could work on being patient and give them another week or two as some strains just take that long...........45 days though for these girls and most flip by this time. Other than my lack of patience the growth is doing well and GSC is doing well and growing out of her funk from the transplant more. Looking rather odd with the roots wrapping over her.......poor girl......we will love her and look after her and in the end smoke the shit out of her frosty buds😂😂😂 Little more detail........ May 23/20 - Day 43 - GSC feed only - 5L with Velokelp, Massive @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Rezin, Liquid Wt, Sensyzime @ 1ml = 750ppm and 5.9pH - GSC has some hairs popping out over night. She is looking healthy today. - GSC2 is fighting it all. She has been though a lot. She is taller now and wider but her bud sites “floppy” looking and pistols not plentiful yet. May 24/20 - Day 44 - dry out day - Moved GSC girls into Veg tent today - problem is the humidity is only 50% and temp is only 73 degrees. May 25/20 - Day 45 - water in the morning.....did a leaf strip int he afternoon......an evening watering with Vitamin B to calm them down a bit. - 7:30am - 2L each with Sensyzime, Piranha, rhino skin, Rezin @ 1.5ml = 335ppm and 5.9pH - the microbes and enzymes😃👍 - 8:30pm - 2L each with Vitathrive & VeloKelp @ 1.5ml = 350ppm and 5.8pH - got some seaweed in there as well to calm them down........4L total in one day is not over doing it and with such low ppm. - GSC is much thinner in appearance now. - GSC2 is tough to do much. Stripped some inner growth but just need her to get bigger overall in order to clean her up properly. May 26/20 - Day 46 - dry out day. - GSC was moved back into the flower tent last night. Just give her the time she needs to transition, - Left GSC2 in veg tent alone for now. - GSC is 17” tall and GSC2 is still at 11” range. May 27/20 - Day 47 - feed day for only GSC - she was given 3L with Bud Ignitor @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml, Piranha @ 1ml = 875ppm and 6.0pH - GSC2 was still heavy to lift. - Moved GSC back into the veg tent and set the light cycle at 12/12 to ensure she flips. - GSC2 is looking stagnant. May 28/20 - Day 48 - GSC2 needs watering as its been two days. - 2L given with Massive @ 4ml. Vitathrive, Sensyzime @ 2ml, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 1350ppm and 6.0pH. - added another 0.5L of water to bring down the ppm to 1100........was too high. - GSC is looking a little more relaxed today. No bud sites yet.....only one night though, - GSC2 is looking more like she is transitioning though😀 - Will give them a couple of days at the reduced light cycle. May 29/20 - Day 49 - dry out day - girls still in veg tent under same light cycle. - feel like GSC has grown bigger but no bud sites yet,

Today, I spent some time tying down branches under the net again. It’s still a tricky task as the branches are quite brittle and break easily. Fortunately, the plants recover quickly, and so far, I’ve mainly noticed new growth sprouting from where the branches broke. Watering Experiment: Too Much or Just Right? Two days ago, I decided to give each plant an additional 2 liters of water to test the effects of what felt like overwatering. The results were interesting: High Humidity: The relative humidity spiked to 74%, which I consider a minor downside. Lower Temperature: Dropped to 29°C. Explosive Growth: The plants responded with vigorous growth! Given the humidity increase, I’ve decided to water the plants heavily only once a week. This approach should give them time to rest and prevent the growth of more mushrooms in the soil—yes, I’ve spotted a few popping up from the pot’s surface. Monitoring pH and Nutrient Reservoir I’ve also noticed that the pH has crept up to 6.2, indicating that the nutrient water hardness is decreasing. This suggests it might be time for a full reservoir refresh. Tonight, I plan to inspect the reservoir and clean it out. Thankfully, my hydro pump makes draining it a quick and easy process. Observations & Next Steps Continue training and monitoring branch recovery. Stick to the adjusted watering schedule. Refresh the nutrient reservoir and recalibrate the pH if needed. The grow is progressing nicely, and the plants seem happy despite some of the challenges. Let’s keep it going! 🌱 Cheers 30/11: Added some pictures, not to much to say because I didn't look at them the last 2 days and they just went crazy.. 01/01/25: Happy New year!! Leaving them alone is not an option... If they keep growing like this, I'll take it! This weekend, I'll do some heavy pruning. For now, I’ve snapped a few stems and tied some others to see which method gives better results. I’ve done about half so far, but I need to head to bed because of work. Tomorrow evening, I’ll tackle the other half. Also, I’ll look for some more subtle zip ties.

Ok so i'm pretty sure i'm screwed......these plants are now going to be over the fence but it is what it is, had some help measuring the plants this time so the tape did fold and i know that it got to the base of the stalk as it's really hard to do by yourself with plants of this size: PP #1-74 inches #2-80.5 inches #3-82 inches OS #1-78 inches #2-75 inches #3-70 inches So i believe i'm running into a MG deficiency with these girls as well, i'll fill out the grow question for one lucky person to get some point for GOTM. Still waiting on my bag of gaia green 4-4-4, but i did give them some Basalt rock dust 1 cup and some Glacial rock dust 2 cups to try in help what i believe to be an MG deficiency. I didn't have enought to give them what i wanted to so i'll have to wait for that to come in as well or just pick up some rock dust on my way home from Halifax Seed. I under estimated fertilizers for this grow wasn't expecting them to get this big...... Woke up the other morning to a little bit of wind come from the west and the tops were doing some swaying so i had to run into town to the grow shop and pick up some trellis to secure the tops that arn't in the cage. I figured the best was to trellis them as i could only get two 5x30 nets what to just run one each over the tops and secure to the fence. I did work on cleaning some of the inside out but theres just so much it's hard to get everything done in two week with real life going on as well. So i've set up an automated curing system for when these ladies are done. I'll have an air pump hooked up to a timer, then the pump will run into a 12 valve manifold, there will be 12 bucket. each valve will have it's own bucket. each bucket has a one way check valve going into the bottom of the bucket into a perforated hose that will cure around the bottom of the bucket. so the fresh air will rise up thru the bucket. at the top of the bucket will be an outlet with a one way check valve. the buckets have Gama seal lids that screw on with gaskets so it gives you an air tight seal. So having the timer set to twice a day for the first two weeks then adjust to once a day everyday for a few more weeks everything should be on cruse control, no more burping jars if everything works like it's supposed to!

Day 23-13/11/21 I’m trying out a bit of low stress training if that’s what I can call it I’m just moving the fan leaves so they don’t block we’re buds are gonna grow!!! Also gave them nice bit of water with biobizz grow today!!!! 1ml per litre!!!! Day 24-14/11/21 damn they got big since yesterday haven’t done anything today just letting them go wild probably put net on tomorrow!!! Day 25-15/11/21 nothing new today but there growing like mad!!!! Day 26-16/11/21 gave them a nice bit of water with bio bizz grow again!!! Day 27-17/11/21 nothing new today just watching the jungle start to form!!!! Day 28- 18/11/21 some of them are starting to bud!!!!!

Welcome to my King's Tart Diary sponsored by Green House Seeds & Xpert Nutrients. Veg Days 22-45 weeks 4-6.5 Plant is loving these Nutrients. Been stuck in a 1.7L pot its grown really nice shape not stunting at all. This wk I'll move these plants from this small pots into 7pots to veg them for 3 more weeks to make em much bigger. Been a very hard job keeping these small pots balanced as the plant dries them up twice a day drinking 2x 200-250ml. So I've been feeding 2x every 6 days. And giving the low EC Nutrients as follow up feeds that v help break down the core npk Master Grow Part A+B 400-450PPM 2 FEEDS 2 TIMES EVERY 6 DAYS. FEEDS This small plant has been drinking 4-500ml a day. With it been so small I feed like this MASTER GROW PART A+B 2.4x.8 lml/1L. silica .1ml-1l 300ppm was given twice a week with 250ml feeds and 250 of just Water later that day ph was kept between 6.6 6.7 (as that's my taps ph) 1 day I make sure it gets enzymes + silica and add these in small amounts when I need to ph master grow. 1 day they get master root ph is unchanged 130ppm 250ml + 250ml of tap later that day 1 day they get calmag 150ppm added to 1L of tap and 250ml is given and water later that same day 2 Master grow Feeds every 6-7 days 250ml 300ppm 1 calmag 150ppm 2 master root, enzymesz silica used to adjust ph when needed and given solely once a week for the past 3 weeks. These have been my rough feeding table as big and old as the plant is, its size and intake of fluids plays a more important role..and doesn't need tweaking but consistency. Applied LST clips this week am going to move them into pots where they can get bigger. As these pots are to small to switch from veg to pre flower. Will veg for 2-3 more weeks. Using the same methods with slight water increase to sustain a full day without needing 2 feeds. Thanks to Xpert Nutrients for allowing me to try their whole line. Doing an amazing job. Great stressless grow that's fairly big been in such a small pot 'thus far. Using my SF-1000 until space opens and v will be moved under my SE5000 480W that's running at 80% now in my main tent. Shout out to Bella for the light Thanks to all my viewers much appreciated. I look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.
