The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are topdressed @ ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we started with lots of sunshine and clear skies.Then we had a pop up severe thunderstorm with grape sized hail. Thankfully it only lasted a few minutes. Day 2 we have clear skies and sunshine. The temperature is mid 70's. You can see the hail damage that occured day 1. The #3 plant was topped by a hail stone. Luckily it only got the top and didn't take out the side branches growing out of the 4th node. This was very fortunate a topping above the 4th node done by nature. Day 3 we had rain and thunderstorms through the previous night and into the morning. We had sunshine, clear skies, and temperatures in the upper 70's. That was followed by severe thunderstorms, rain, and a touch of hail from 4p.m. to 6p.m. Day 4 we had relief from the rain. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's and lots of sunshine. We have a few days of sunshine in the forecast 🙏 Day 5 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. Highs in the upper 70's and 49% humidity. We needed the dryness. 🙏 Day 6 we had clear skies and sunshine. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 70's. Day 7 we had partly cloudy skies and temps in the middle 70's. Overall this week was a success. We thankfully avoided any major damage from the hail. The girls more than doubled in height and really kicked out some branches after topping.

Prima raccolta della mia vita, molto soddisfatto, dopo una settimana in flush ho deciso di tagliare in quanto i tricomi stavano diventando ambrati, dopo questo ciclo sicuramente ho capito l'importanza del Lollipoping e sicuramente al prossimo saprò come valutare la gestione

Las plantas se ven bien, hice una pequeña defoliacion para sacar las hojas grandes que hacian sombra directamente sobre otras ramas. Ademas quite algunas de abajo que me complicaban un poco a la hora de regar.

Feeding was through water , with the exception of barrier as dosed as spray as flowering hasnt boomed yet and the auto one one is quite coordinated on time with this ones on the bright side. Controlled height through intention is more for damage control became a closer purpose like scrog net and clips to give branch directions easier, that use make me now that understand how optimize better with them at future , and truly purposed as getting all the ladies good illuminated : how much good are really doing the side lights , as the net itself marks the lack of penetration of the top lights my niggas. :)

Die Autopots sind im Einsatz, nach anfänglichem zögern wegen dem ph-Wert. Der sich durchgehend verändert hat, von 5,6 bis zu 6,8. Habe ich mich dann erstmal durch etliche Foren gelesen. Es gibt die Möglichkeit das Wasser zu demineralisieren. Allerdings halte ich das für sinnlos, da die Minerale ja durch den Dünger wieder zugegeben werden. Bisher haben sich diese ph-Wert Schwankungen nicht bei den Pflanzen bemerkbar gemacht. Eher im Gegenteil, das Wachstum ist beachtlich. Zum Ende der Woche habe ich das Wasser im Reservoir ausgetauscht. Noch einmal ein paar Blätter rausgeschnitten und angefangen die Triebe mit den Hanfseilen herunter zu binden. Bei der einen Pflanze ist aus dem topping eher ein Fimming geworden, finde ich jetzt nicht weiter schlimm aber seht selbst. 😉 Grow on!

Alright! 100% germination rate across the board on these beans! Every seed we sowed is now up and at em. That's already a good sign for new genetics. Well they're new to me anyway, who knows how long they've been overseas doing their thing. These could be some diamonds in the ruff, ya never know!!! Same here though as with the auto flowers we're going to see which strain performs best and then enter her into the competition....or if they're both hitting, we'll enter them both and see if we can take home a win! So for the photoperiod plants we're doing the Athena blended line in Promix soil. It's my first time using this line but they sent me it to try out so I'm going to see what's up. The auto flowers are going to be mainly organic and maybe a little mix of synthetic in bloom, if needed. That's the plan for some beautiful flowers. Let's Grow!!

The plants are ranging from 36”-38”…. We just purchased Flower Fuel for the buds. And pruned all the plants this week. Lastly we gave the plants pH balanced water with loranne flavor extract and unsulfured molasses.

Growing is a learning process, sadly the Milky Way F1 didn't survive. And the seedlings rotted. But all my other babies are healthy and doing well. Today is our first day in seedlings stages and into vegetation. Let's go. 14.12 The girls are looking great specially the Pineapple Express she seems like she is going to be a big girl. Still watering them lightly two times a day. 15.12 They are doing well, especially the Pineapple Express 18.12 Last day in our first week the ladies are doing really well, I have been giving then mostly pH adjusted water since besides Zamniza Monster bud mix I added so compost to the coco mix. They get water with nutrients every other day.

Flower development definitely set back right from the beginning with extreme light intensity reaching 1650 ppfd before corrected. Never fully took off I don’t think. Midway through week 7 started to slowly dial back the intensity from 900 at tops to 650 ppfd. This is a 9.5-10 week strain. Using fish shit to keep things ramped up, also Bokashi Bran and worm casting. Also mixing in Gaia seaweed extract 0-0-17 with the fish shit. Not a whole lot more needed that the soil and top dressings doesn’t already have, if anything at all. I just like to give it that extra kick. I had completely wiped out those pesky fungus gnats and future offspring before flower, but they came back after top dressing and adding more soil. They come in the bag soil, and while I was on holidays for 10 days they came back and I wasn’t on top of the new wave of those dirty bastards. Just about got them cleared out again with the use of nematodes and sticky traps.

8/21/24 gave her some cal mag from the uprising foundation. 5 ml total for the 5 gal pot. 3 tsp of grow and 2 tsp of bloom. slowly transitioning from grow to bloom over the course of 4 weeks. did some light defoliation and some lollipopping. shes not too bushy in the sense of leafy. her fan leaves have super long petioles. 8/26 she's grown four inches so far this week. about an inch a day. wild.

Que hay familia, volvemos con las crazy cookies, que variedad más locura no veas que puntones se han formado , variedad algo lenta en cuanto a floración pero valdrá la pena . Ph controlado temperatura también dentro de los parámetros , humedad baja, menos de 45%. Pronto aportamos overdrive y veremos cómo terminan de hinchar.

So we started feeding them. just some organic growth by BAC and some Calmag. Mostly around the sides of the pots to encourage the roots and start the Microlife overall. We have used nice lukewarm water and added some sugar sirop to activate all the wee beasties. The growth last week was phenomenal although one is going faster than the other. For this reason I changed them around, should climate on that spot have anything to do with that. Now we are looking at other XL runts diaries, to learn from the best performers and copycat their methods to maximize yields with this setup. We will decide if we will just LST them or give them a top... Have to be quick tho, these ladies will flower soon... Thank you for checking my grow, hope you are successful on yours and Il be checking you out in coming days as I have a little more time. Big hug as always and see you next week!

Hey everyone :-). There is not much to tell this week :) A few came to the flowering tent, 2 are still in the vegi phase for 2 days and then come last to the flowering tent :-) The Blue Cheese and the Kosher Tangie Kush smell very good and how they should 😍👍 It will be difficult to choose 2 mums :-). I wish everyone a nice week 👌 Let it grow

So I had to wait til the plants bounced back from the gnats that I got from buying soil from a store that wasn’t clean. But I got rid of them. The leaves are beautiful and growing back how they need to. By the end of this week ima flip them into flower. I raised the light all the way to the top and turned it at 60% of 720 watts. They are going to shoot up tall. About to have a big yield. Got some bud candy and an exhale bag for good CO2 levels.

Had to toss one of these but have a clone still. Going to post pics of #2 in its place. Aight so the other day I found another hermie in the very early stages. So I emptied the tent and sat in there in the pitch black for 15 minutes to let my eyes adjust looking for anywhere light could get in. Because I have 2 veg tents in the same room on 19 hr schedules it's impossible for me to have the room the tent is in be pitch black. There was no leaks in the fabric but the air vents at the bottom, even tho I only have 3 open a little bit, let in the slightest amount of light. I had to toss out a mandarin cookies R1V2, a bwiz x Rocberry and a gushers. I found a male flower on a Hawaiian snow x wc x g33 on a lower but instead of tossing it I removed all the lowers and am going to check daily to see if its aight or not. I ordered a ac infinity 4 inch fan, some light proof ducting and a intake carbon filter to be able to set up a intake and close the vents. Very little pollen may have dropped which could seed everything but I might have found it just in time we will see. I almost retired on the spot but I'll give the intake fan a shot as a last ditch effort. Otherwise I would have to remove the veg tents or have intake fans and no open vents for all tents.
