June 17: The garden area had just under 3 inches (75mm) of rain in the past week which was really needed. Temps have been mid teens to low 20s deg C. The wind has been relentless and the plants continue to take a beating. Overall pleased with the growth but some concern, because preflowers are showing, they may be stunted and flowering early (due to environmental stress).

Everything is going smoothly, the buds are getting bigger day by day All the girls are bug free, they are still looking green The G13 has the strongest smell followed by the Runtz and the GDP doesn’t smell like anything for now

A couple of ladies died through the bad weather conditions in the Netherland in May. (candy Kush, Fat Banana, Green gelato). I learned a wise lesson. Be more patient. Once the seedlings started to sprout I already put them outside. If I just took some more time to let them grow a bit. before I put them in the final destination. This would have saved me a lot of headache.

I'm midway through the ninth week she is almost done probably a week left ATM I am just flushing her with H20 and a tbsp of molasses... I know on my next grow of Strawberry Gorilla from FastBuds I will be ordering another light of the same brand just one more 1000w and that would be the perfect amount. The buds are extremely sticky and smell like heaven they are turning purple the leaves are I'm thinking I need to water one more time and let that be it but the bud production is insane. I've learned a lot and I do plan on starting a Craft Cannabis grow... Proverbs 11:1

Hello Growmies, Two weeks into vegetation, our Watermelon Candy by Zamnesia is striking a fine figure in the grow tent. Each plant has achieved a notable height of 14 cm, an impressive feat for their age, suggesting that they are well on their way to becoming vigorous and bushy specimens. The uniformity observed in the first week continues to be a defining trait of the Watermelon Candy strain. These plants, with their symmetrical leaf structure and consistent growth patterns, are reflecting their strong genetic lineage. The lush green leaves and the tautness of the stems speak volumes about the care they've received. Their transplant into the 12.5-liter air-pots, coupled with the application of Great White during the process, has provided them with a fertile foundation for root development. This mycorrhizal support will surely bolster their ability to uptake water and nutrients efficiently, setting them up for success in the coming weeks. The controlled environment, with precise management of temperature and humidity, continues to foster their growth. With the lights dimmed to 25% and delivering 150-180 PPFD, the plants are receiving the perfect amount of energy to thrive without the stress of overexposure. The IR lighting before lights on and off, along with the midday UV light exposure, is fine-tuning their growth cycles and boosting their natural defenses. Once the inline fan is connected and operational, you'll have complete control over the tent's environment, enhancing dehumidification during the night and ensuring optimal conditions 24/7. It's this attention to detail and environment that is paving the way for these Watermelon Candy plants to flourish. Stay lifted, Salokin.

Clones 21 días. Con una sobrevida final de un 90% vivieron 27 clones llevan una semana alimentándose con Green Grow y Gold Sunshine a media dosis, tolerando muy bien la primera fertilización, se notan los resultados inmediatamente, mucho follaje nuevo, verde intenso en hojas, fortalecieron los tallos y crecieron bastante. Quedaron todos en macetas de 1 litro, seleccione los 12 que pasaran a macetas de 11 litros, sin ningún tipo de poda, el resto de clones realice poda de ramas bajas, en el trasplanté deje el primer nudo de hojas a ras de suelo, para disminuir altura y aumentar superficie radicular realizando un leve raspaje en el tallo.

Was facing some difficulty when it came to lighting (what brand, wattage, output range, full spectrum etc.) Did a watering today with a mix of Epsom salt & purified water which was the 1st nutrient mixture since my ladies been in the soil. A couple of changes made since I've joined GD is I changed the distance of lights to plant (was @ 14-18 now 20-24 inches away thanks for that folks) lighting schedule is still on a 18/6hr. Another trick I choose was the water used...it's either rain water or artesian water both help eliminate unwanted pH unbalance. This is my 1st grow and Im going to post more photos of the entire setup. If you guys&gala have any other helpful tips for a better grow lmk. I also wanted to do a LST on my autos but not quite sure when to do, they're currently coming out of week 2 into week 3 vegg mode. Every tip and hint helps so let em fly.

Going nice;))))

Tent has been heavily neglected....will pick up routine this week. Just been a busy week and hopefully settling in the next coming weeks. Top dressed with 2-8-4 and worm castings Have to up nutrients and sort out these deficiency's or PH you inbalance is what I think the culprit is

Week 9 - Day 59 (from seed) Tropicana Cookies Auto by Fast Buds Update: Yesterday I watered her with 5ml Plagron Green Sensation and 6ml of Bud Candy in 2 liters of distilled water. No pH adjustment. This should help push the buds a bit more in this final phase. Plant status: She’s stacking up nicely! Buds are really starting to swell and fill out, especially around the main cola. There’s a heavy coating of trichomes — mostly milky with just a few clears left, no amber yet from what I can see. The sugar leaves have a nice frost to them and the aroma is getting stronger each day — very sweet and fruity. Leaves are mostly healthy, although a few of the older fan leaves are starting to fade, which is expected at this stage. No major signs of deficiency or stress. I think she’s entering her final push. Based on trichome development and overall appearance, I’d estimate maybe 10–14 days left. I’ll likely start the flush in 3-4 days unless I see amber trichomes sooner. Any thoughts or feedback are welcome — feel free to check the trichome pics and let me know what you’d do!

Looking pretty good all around, some plants in this crop are short but it's all good. Theres some plants in the tent I'm not doing diaries on they're clones from last run I wanted to run back but they are in 2 gal bags instead of 3.

Started this week of with more lst gonna add scrog net this week

I ended up with an extra plant this run and I don't want to kill it. So I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn how to grow using Coco and perlite with timed feedings multiple times a day. At present I am still testing the timer and pump and once I figure out how stable it is then I'll be able to add more details to the diary. But I plan to stick this little sucker in the corner and pump it full of nutrients. See how big it'll get. I am thinking 6 small feedings a day. Since the pot is so small it will take it less time to start drying. I don't see why this won't work, but Ita a learning exercise and I'm really stoked to get it going. And I have no experience. I'm almost set on how I'm handling the runoff and exactly how I'm setting up the substrate. Still need to run tests on the equipment to determine how it pushes the solution and how much it pushes for different amounts of time. Pump doesn't work... Lol. Shit. So I need to fix this or replace it. This was a cheap little system, they all pretty much are so Im Going to just buy the pump and timer, all the tubing, emitters, etc, etc and do it myself. I really wanted it to be one with wifi so I can use my phone as the interface, and keep up with it when I'm not home, but eh... It's better to have a good pump and timer and be done. This supposed to be as simple as it can be. 12/12 77gph Pond pump and Hydro farm autopilot timer. Everything is up and running. The transplant from soil into coco was nothing short of brutal. I really thought she was going to die within an hour, but she pulled through until lights off, and came back looking fine. When I did the transplant I left half the roots in the soil.... It's going on 48 hours now and she still looks alive. It is very possible that the plant still dies, but until then I am hoping I make the right decisions. I dimmed her down a bit, and dialed back the nutes to a milder dosage ( down to 0.6 from the original 0.9 ) There is definite stress, as you can see, but she's alive. This is what we have FloraGro, Micro, Bloom, and CaliMagic. These are to 2gals. I went by EC not by per gallon. These are the amounts it took to reach this point. FG: 2.5ml 0.1 FM: 1.0ml 0.1 FB: 2.0ml 0.1 CM: 1.5ml 0.3 pH: 5.5 Temp: 68.3, EC 0.6 Feeding solution @ 0.6. 16ml every 3 hours for 18 hours while lights are on only. Trial and error. I have no experience with this. I am just going by what I've read and what I think may work. 12/13 She's actually growing. So I guess the worst parts over. Moved her back to 275 ppfd and I'm currently working on a new drip emitter. I'm trying to make something that utilizes a loop of 1/4 tubing with 4 holes so it wets the entire substrate. So far as a pressure/flow issue. It's either sharp streams pointed directly at the stem, or random and tiny droplets. More to come...

Week 3 of Flower for the FX3 #1 and Lucky 13, the FX3 #2 and Sergeant Sherbert have just started flowering this week after moving from the Veg Tent Into the new 150x150 tent. The Greenhouse food has been amazing completly stress free and the plants look amazing especially in combination with the Autopots! Gonna do a good defoliation and clean up the lower a bit. Stay tuned family and happy growing!!!

So Melon Gum finished. This was not one of my better grows. I had root rot in flowering. This really messed up what she could of done. It was a 17 week grow I still got a harvest. Thank you Pure Instinto, Athena, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

New Life New Adventure 💚🌱
