Very happy I went Original Sensible Seeds beens this grow. 🤩 All 3 autos from some special american line, and o boy , they don't disappoint.🔥 Bangers genetics 👏🏻 all trees are good size with super thick stalks and loads of fat buds. Another big defoliation been done this week, removed around 2 kg of leaves.All frosty with great smell. I like it a lot 💚

This was my best experience yet with growing and am quite proud of myself! Training went almost perfect and the plants handled the resistance strengthened up and sprouted so many buds! All we’re dense and frosty by the end time! I dried in brown paper bags in 17.5-18.5c temps with a humidity of 40-50% and took 7 days to dry! I have them curing in 3L glass jars with 62% Boveda pack inside! I’ll be able to really taste the flavour then but it’s already strong and tastes great! Royal queen seeds are definitely worth a top place on seeds! Added a few photos after cure! The smell is like sweet pungent and flowery and the high is full body and u get itchy eyes and dry mouth!

D64. We're at the start of the fifth week of flower, and today, the Purplematic moved out, and now the Gorilla girl is all alone in the tent. I also switched out her light from the big Kingbrite to the much smaller Viparspectra P600. I need the bigger light in my other tent, and even though the Viparspectra is a low-power light, I believe it should be enough, considering how small the Gorilla girl is. I could have put in one of the Greenception lights from my other tent, but it honestly was too much of a bother. ------------------------------ D66. Yesterday, I gave her 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5 with humic acid and calmag. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) for combatting the thrips in my photo tent arrived, and I also dispersed a few of them in this tent. I haven't seen any thrips damage on the Gorilla girl, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be proactive. I also did minor defoliation to increase light penetration and air circulation. ------------------------------ D68. Not much to report besides that this is one STINKY girl. She stinks up the entire lungroom, and I have ordered a new carbon filter. Her senescence is slowly increasing, and I suspect she will be done soon-ish, although I haven't even looked at her trichomes yet. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and chop day is getting close. Her senescence is progressing nicely, and today, I checked her trichomes for the first time and already found quite a few amber ones. She is coming down in a few days, but it won't be a large harvest due to her stunting. However, she smells fantastic, so I'm counting on a great smoke. I went to WAR today against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

*Week 3 Flowering 09/17* Fastbuds - Mimosa Cake (Auto) (2) Thus far the flower transition has run smoothly and both plants are running accordingly Nute feeds have increased *Week 3 End of week Flowering 09/23* Flowering for both Mimosa's is proceeding accordingly. Light defoliation was applied Light LST to heavy COLA's was applied, anchored to the trellis net. *FRONT TENT (MIMOSA-2) QUICK VIDEO ADDED*

Welcome to week 6 of flower! Things are starting to shape up quite nicely and some of the plants are starting to get colourful! Its hard to capture on the current camera I'm using but my new one that's on its way should be much much better! Overall really excited to see what this week will bring! I will be checking some of the ladies trichomes to see how far along we are either this week or next week to give me an approximate harvest window! Huge shout outs to @MarsHydroLED for all their outstanding work on lighting and grow spaces that make it fun and easy to grow! Huge shout outs go to @Seedsman , @PyramidSeeds and @GreenHouseSeedCo for all their outstanding work developing genetics that give us that fine medicine! HUGE HUGE shout outs to all my followers and to the people who stop into the diary alike! Keep inspiring to grow! -The Projexx Day#36F Pictures N/A. Ladies are starting to fade but they're still putting on mass daily! Day#37F Pictures N/A. The terpenes an nose coming off the plants its INSANE we got lots of nice and unique smells going hard here! Day#38F Removed some of the leaves blocking nodes, cleaned up the bottoms abit more. Day#39F The ladies continue to put on mass and some of the leaves are really starting to turn purple! Day#40F The ladies continue to cruise along. Fuel D.og#2 is starting to come back to a nice green Day#41F Kings Juice#1 is really starting to show her fade now! Ladies continue to put mass on. Day#42F Water increased to 5L each at 550PPM. Stalks are getting massive! Recap: Things went really well this week, the ladies continue to put on mass on their rock solid flowers! With some of the plants starting to show signs of an open window for harvest Im going to break out the microscope next week to see exactly how far along we are! Over all really really pump about the plants , looking like its going to be a great harvest!

Final week

She’s growing well and finally starting to grow out of her lil leaf mutation at the beginning.

A good week here in the tent. The girls continue to grow and progress. Getting a small amount of water daily. Looking for more progression then I'll transplant the best looking ones. Lights at 40% power. Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

I Should have been chopped down 5 plants instead of just one however I lost her 4 sisters because of fungal infection due to a high humidity and and a very hot day. Wish I could have been able to get a lot of jars full of this wonderful and magical organics nugs.

Day 1: I got two of these Sweet Gelato seeds free from @Zamnesia. I’m only planting one at the moment . I’m really excited about growing it. I’ve really loved any Gelato I have tasted. I have my substrate prepared and my veg space is ready to go. I have put the seed in Ph’d water for 24hrs first and I will add to the soil tomorrow night. I’ll wet the soil down tomorrow morning with Ph’d water and I’ll put it the veg space with the lights on to warm up the soil before adding the seed. Day 2: Seed has been moved into the substrate and pot is now in Veg Space under 40watt CFL bulbs but once the seed germinates I will switch on the 200watt CFL. This is my least favourite part of growing, the wait for the seedlings 🌱 to break through the soil. I’ve planted the seed to one side of the pot as I find this makes LST easier. The plant will be spending it’s first 2 to 3 weeks in this veg space while I wait for my Purple Punch to finish in my main grow space. 72hrs Later: Houston we have lift off 🚀 The seed first started to peed through the soil after only 48hrs. That’s the fasted I’ve ever seen, hopefully it’s a sign of things to come. Leaves still haven’t opened but it’s fully above ground now.

Couple days after the big defoliation at the end of week 2 flowering and all is looking good. Wasn’t sure if I took too much but it seems to be exploding still and I’m still tucking a bit but mostly We are letting them come up a bit above the screen to start forming our canopy. Looks a bit uneven now but all bud sites are exposed within 10 inches of the canopy and everything is being kept clear as possible. At the end of the third week she slowed down stretching and we did one last light defoliation. Well that’s it for this week, all caught up! See you next week! Cheers 💨

Week 5 and its getting frosty❄️✌️

It has been another amazing week of the plants growing. I have been watching as the Fruity Freak leaves become progressively more fern-like, and ornamental as a result! Based on my Banizzle grows, I knew I needed to understand plant nutrients in a more meaningful way if I wanted these plants to thrive. So, I decided to get a soil test (see Ref. 1 below on how to perform a test) to understand what nutrients my plants needed. The report I received advised that I needed to add 200 lbs/acre of nitrogen, 150 lbs/acre of phosphorus, and 190 lbs/acre of potassium (see picture labeled Pic.1 (FYI you can't see these images unless you login to growdiaries)). I then researched what to do with my results (Ref. 2 helped), and I figured out that my nutrient needs of 200-150-190 fall close to a 2-1-2 ratio. I then looked at different types of organic fertilizers (see Ref. 3 and Ref. 4) and considered that I already had a 3-10-5 fertilizer (Vermibloom) on hand. I discovered Dr Earth’s Alfalfa Meal is 2-1-2 and includes beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae (to promote healthy plant growth and disease resistance). However, I knew I would be low on nitrogen if I only used those two fertilizers. Therefore, I decided to buy some blood meal (12-0-0). I also liked that blood meal is more fast acting while the other two are more moderate. I hunted around for a solid fertilizer calculator and found an amazing tool from the University of Georgia Extension (Ref. 5). I entered all three fertilizers into the calculator, and it kicked out the exact amount of each fertilizer I needed to apply to 1 square foot (see Pic. 2). As I am using 10-gallon fabric pots (that can hold 1.5 cubic feet, but I put stone on the bottom and there’s space left at the top) I decided to use the one square foot application rate as I can always add more later, but I can’t take it away. Not only did I want to understand the nutrients I needed, but I also wanted to understand the structure of the soil (as it was not included in my test results). North Dakota State University has a nice page that discusses this (Ref. 6), and I performed a soil ribbon test (see Video 1) based on this information. I determined my soil to be medium textured (which is great), but I have seen occasional water pooling on the surface, suggesting that it may be more of a medium-fine. This means adding peat moss, coco coir, or other amendments might improve drainage (and plant hydration) and allow for roots to grow more easily. In the long run, I plan to use compost to enhance the soil structure and nutrients. I filled the bottom of my 10-gallon fabric pots with a ½” of pea stone to allow for drainage (Pic. 3). I then partially filled two 5-gallon buckets with topsoil from near where I will plant (but not in an area the roots will reach). I used a digital scale to measure the amount of fertilizers recommended by the calculator (Pic. 4, 5, and 6) and added it to one of the 5-gallon buckets (see Pic. 7). I mixed the fertilizers into the soil as evenly as possible (Pic. 8 and 9). I then poured a two-inch layer of non-fertilized soil, then peat moss, and then fertilized soil (in a roughly 2:1:1 ratio) and blended them together. I repeated this until the pot was full (getting additional soil as needed), and then I repeated the process for the other three pots. I set the filled fabric pots in my garage (Pic. 10) for two days to allow any upset bugs to flee into my garage instead of my house. I then moved the pots (wrapping them in a contractor garbage bag to prevent making a mess) into the room with the grow light. I placed a board on top of the fabric pots to insulate the plants (in their smaller pots) from the cold soil (Pic. 11). Once the soil in the fabric pots reaches room temperature, I will transplant. (Ref. 1) This video shows the method I used to take a soil sample. I didn’t have a field to test, so I took four samples from the area where I will eventually plant outdoors and blended them together. I then mailed my soil sample off to the lab, and about a week later, I received an email with a PDF of my results (included with my pictures this week). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AwxmFxBwg&t=8s (Ref. 2) This video from the University of Minnesota Extension (many universities have agriculture extensions that can assist you with soil testing and growing information for your area) discusses what to do with your soil testing results: https://youtu.be/HYrkcfE62Pg (Ref. 3) This is a nice article that discusses organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.grow-it-organically.com/npk-fertilizer.html (Ref. 4) This article lists the NPK values of many organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.epicgardening.com/organic-fertilizers/ (Ref. 5) Many websites tout a fertilizer calculator…but this one is hands down the best I have found. If you scroll down to the bottom, you can enter any fertilizer type you want (and the cost, if you want). It will give you the exact blend of multiple fertilizers to solve your nutrient deficiencies (I included a snapshot of the solution I used in my pictures). https://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/ (Ref. 6) This is an excellent article that discusses how to evaluate your soil: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/publications/evaluating-preparing-and-amending-lawn-and-garden-soil
