8/10 - In prep for flower I've got some Compost Tea brewing with a little Terp Tea Bloom by Roots Organics. .Also did a little selective defoliation 8/11 - Flipped the ladies to flower today! And all is good in the 8x4. 8/12 - Watered all the ladies with the Compost/Terp Tea. Also did some more defoliation and added some mosquito bits for added pest prevention.

What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my blind as a bat FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More patience next time... The super soil is still performing great and I´m pushing up the dimmer to get the ladies used to more light, very carefully because leaves are folding every time. Some of you might be happy to find my European recipe/shopping list for super soil. I tried to make it with widely offered products throughout Europe. Feel free to use it and elaborate on it. If one product is not available in your country, please check the brands at the bottom, which might be available in your country, and substitute. The only thing one could add to the recipe (which I did but forgot in the shopping list) is some Epsom salt. Fed them again with my permaculture tea, all seem to flourish and smells are starting to come from the plant, with that same distinct dankiness I had in earlier grows with this tea. See the germination page and other diaries for more info on my Perma tea. Now they were big enough, some might even say too big, to start the real training. I always love to give them a little bend the week before, to get used to the idea. With some sterilized bamboo sticks I pushed the plants down to expose their sexy undersides. Let them become forests of buddy bush. Thats it for this week! Thanks for following and happy growing!!

In general, I liked growing this variety, the only thing is a lot of small leaves, it is not very convenient to cut, but the colas are very dense and weigh well, there are also many small stepsons, although I cleaned up during unnecessary time, powdery mildew appeared after the rain, which is difficult get rid of the large number of leaves on the plant, and it's very good)

Not much to say this time as I haven't been keeping track really, it was a pleasure to grow but I did yield less than last time, how much less I'll know when it's dry of course. My harvest is a lazy one, this time I won't be trimming everything at least not wet as I'm more interested in Rosin and I couldn't care less how the buds look like plus it's not a contest diary so there is that as well. I have been using the same nutrient schedule as I have been using for 🍌💜✊🏻 plus a couple of ml of tri Part Bloom by aqua Terra

best cannabis I ever grew and smoked. Others agree. This is a cup winner I would win with no competition. 3 months harvested, 90% consumed. Will run more genetics and future cross, backcross. Feels like energy drinks, positive, 100% youre high and lit, extreme ripped. Smell is slight citrus, this is very sweet tasting and smelling because of my methods of growing. Oozing sticky like an industrial adhesive. Daytime smoke, ripped no couchlock. For heavy daily smoker this is above your level of comprehension, good luck finishing 0.5g session. 10/10 all categories. 4 months after harvest video macro, this is what 40% looks like

I'm done with autoflower cultivar! That and trying to grow outdoor specimens indoors, no bueno. In this micro-grow area of mine will be from now on, limited to two plants and I will be much more selective of what plants to grow out! I've had a few autos turn out but with this grow getting so out-of-control, autos being photos, etc. It would just be easier for me as an individual limit the type of growing I'm doing to just breeding; one male, one female but with this bagseed male...we will see what the offspring are like at a later time but for now I'm trying to force this male to flower. Alot of growth from the purple haze auto, so much so it has crowded out both Lemon Haze autos and I can't even see one but can smell it!! Once I get to 12/12, growth should be completely focused on buds but for now I'm allowing all plants time to transition @14 hrs and EOD Emerson effect treatments. More soon. Also, something is off with my camera's contrast, everything in my room from my perspective is very green, light/lime yes but it appears yellow in my photos. I suppose I could go a bit higher in soluble N, an and Iron when I feed but as of today, Blood meal is making it's way to the top of my favorite amendments...quick! I've gone a tad bit more rich with feedings on the N side for the Purple Haze auto as it is not auto and kind of let the Lemon Autos finish, hopefully my 2 in 1 lemon isn't soaking up all the N in its last couple weeks...smoke might be zingy/zesty! Anyways, I've basically let the two lemon autos go and have focused on Purple Haze. Can't wait until flower!

26.08.2024 1. RDWC: I run a DIY system made of 4 Buckets 17L+separated control/tank bucket (12L operational water per bucket used) fallponic plus underwater current. I don't know why I have made such system I just wanted to be sure that I have included every possible option. I'm not sure but maybe I'll upgrade it to rainponic it's not that hard of a job. I'm not using my 100L reservoir this run becose it needs replacement old one made a small flood in my garden. 2. TENT AC Infinity 5x5 3. Airpump Hailea ACO 388 D 70L/min. 4. Water chiller: hailea water chiller hc-150a. 5. LED GROW light Grand Master Level Tarantula voyager 1500W 2 chanel's plus controller (it will be my first run with this monster it just arrived). 6. INLINE FAN: AC Infinity cloudline S6 carbon filter. 7. CLIP FAN: AC infinity Cloudray S6 3 pcs. For low middle and over the LED air movement. 8. Humidifier AC INFINITY T3 (I don't need stronger one naturally the humidity here is around 65-70%) 9. TENT CONTROLLERS: controller 69 PROX2 10. Germination/humidity dom by AC infinity with germination lamps 40W Ionabeam S11 only for the first 2 weeks before VEG. DAY 1 Closed in a box hiden in a dark boiler room. Room temperature 25C EC 850 RH 90% Instruments used for measuring: AC Infinity Hydroponic Meter PRO AC infinity VPD thermometer DAY 2 5/6 seeds have start to crack open I guess tomorrow or the day after they will be all ready for the cubes. DAY 3 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26 C Relative Humidity 83% 5/6 seeds are showing signs of life. The 6th one is a little bit slower it's cracked as it can be seen on the picture but it refuses to show it's tale. I believe tomorrow it will be ready. On day 4 I'll put them in the "Root Riot" cubes and after that I'll just monitor the RH and RT until I see the sprouts. DAY4 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 94% 6/6 seeds have germinated so far. Today I'll move them in the Humidity dom where they will stay until they become seedlings and I'll keep them there until they are ready to be moved in the RDWC system and coco coir. In the video I have show my method of preparing the cubes for the seeds next update will be tomorrow probably only for temperature and humidity. DAY 5 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25-27. RH 89-95 I can't believe that I'm seeing first sprout today. Maybe this strain is one who can take a little push 🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep in mind and I'll se how much I can push it. Unfortunately I still don't have CO2 for veg and flower but I can try other different little tricks. I'm happy with this seeds obviously 42 Fast Buds are giving a really quality seeds. Let's see what kind of buds will come out of this seeds. I hope tomorrow everything will be sprout out and i will turn on the lamps. DAY 6 PPFD 120 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 92.1 It's day six 4/5 seeds are successfully germinated. Maybe the next two will pop out but for one of them I'm not so sure. Anyway I have one spare seed that I can pop out for the coco project plus I have one Papaya Cookies Auto for the fifth bucket so that's no problem. The seeds ar under the light AC Infinity Ionabeam S11 on level 3 equal to 115 ppfd plus the DOM extension. DAY 7 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% I have 4/6 successfully germinated seedlings. Tomorrow I'll open up the humidity dom a little bit. It's good to have spare seeds. Now I'll have to plant my spare peace of gorilla cookies and probably one Papaya Cookies Auto (gift) becose my plans were for 6 plants. Anyway this 4 soon will be transplanted in the RDWC flowering pot. Let's see what tomorrow have to say. DAY 8 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% Amazing root development, I wasn't expecting this kind of speed but obviously tomorrow I'll transplant them in the RDWC even before the VEG state. Maybe I'll keep them a few more days when the first set of leaves is all out. DAY9 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.1 RH 58% Today is the last day in the humidity Dom. I delayed the move becose i wanted to have a longer stems and becose my fertilizers got lost in the depo so ill receive them tomorrow. We have very healthy baby's with a lot of tiny roots so it will be perfect to start then from day 10. DAY 10 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26-27C RH 70% EC 115 pH 7 This is the fastest seeds I ever see. I have never transferred seedlings in to RDWC so far, usually I make this procedure around day 17-20. While I was transferring them one of the seedlings accidently snapped a little bit but I hope it was not fatal enough and maybe it will survive, only the time will show, anyway I have another one in coco so I can always transfer it in to RDWC if needed. EC is only 115 for today becose of the little bit of ATHENA BALANCE I dropped in the water, so far the roots are not touching the water so i can add the fertilizers tomorrow while I'm fresh. DAY 11 Water Temperature 18C Room temperature 28C EC 120 pH 7 PPFD 200 RH 70% They look nice and healthy still not enough signs of roots for picture but so far the seedlings look fresh. One more day in the Formulex+tap water and they will go in the Athena by day 13. DAY 12 Water temperature 18C Room temperature 27C pH 7 PPFD 220 RH 70 AC 240 Everything is going g quick and perfect. So far this run is going smooth as never. I never had root development that quick as this with this seeds. I'm almost in love with them. After a quick summary with my previous runs I decided to double the AC before tomorrow when I'll change the water and I'll replace it with 6.0 pH RO water and the full athena program for the RDWC. So far so good let's see what the Athena nutrients will show after one week. DAY 13 RH 70 Room temperature 27-28 EC 290 pH 6.1 Water Temperature 20C PPFD 300 Light cicle 20/4 I couldn't resist to flip the fertilizer to athena. After all as soon as I teach em what its better. Full water change of the tank and new suplements. Formulex is amazing suplement for the first two weeks maybe it can carry most people to whole VEG if it's in soil or coco, but I want the real food in RDWC. So far all the plants have amazing small roots so that means the system work well. Let's see the progress tomorrow, but I beleave in the middle of the week this plants will be already in official VEG period. DAY 14 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I needed a little bit more light. I don't know how to explain it but its a grower thing and now my seedlings are looking better than the morning. They were looking a little bit "dizzy" if I can use this terminology. So basically in perfect water temperature, perfect fertilizer level and good aeration, there was nothing left beside the light. As I'm saying you can't feed a lot if you don't have enough light. I added the spider farmer SF 1000 EVO over the water container, becose the big fixture is too far from them, but I can't put them under the Voyager, becose my previous grow is in the final week. So now they are on a separate light 🤣🤣 🤣 370-400 PPFD is a little bit much but I beleave they will manage it. After all the plan of this run is to reach 1000 PPFD in the final days. DAY 15 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 So far the progress is mainly on roots and some new leafes are coming out. Probably next set of leafes is going to be the first that will mark the veg stage. I have added a little bit of ATHENA clense today and by far notging ha e changed since yesterday. DAY 16 RH 70 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 23C EC 290 pH 6.1 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 As I was expecting most of the job is pre-veg, what I mean is that the results we can see are mostly in root development and ohh boy this is a crazy root spike in just 24 hours. I don't know is it becose of the Athena or just the genetics of the seedling but Im really amazed. In just 11 days from first seedling until today and I'm seeing some crazy root development. I truly beleave that the next set of leaves will be marking the vegetative stage and then we can start the game. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 18 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 Okay two more days and we will be in veg. It's Not like we are not in veg today I just want to keep the update from Sunday to Sunday. DAY 19 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 We are in veg tomorrow so today we change nothing. Tomorrow will be great day.

Smooth few days after the defoliations. They seem to be happy. Malted Milk can be very temperamental but I have been catching on to her ways. Still wary with my feedings tho. Want to give all these different nutes and unknown what the results will be? Installed ac units in each room to ensure good temperatures and RH outside the tents. Hoping for another good week!

Flowering looks awesome on the ChemDog! Lots of bud sites and they're growing at a respectable rate. ATF's are running 3 plants in 3 diff stages- one's a couple weeks into flower, one's just starting,and one's still the holdout. Meanwhile, I've got flowering on the Night Nurse and one of the Viper Cookies. The rest are close but I can't say for sure they've transitioned. Weather's getting into a hot and humid phase, gotta watch that ChemDog. Think it's got a decent structure for ventilation but I've read horror stories on how the Dog loves mold. Further training of the branches has been fruitful, I'm seeing a lot more topside bud sites than usual. I'm working on irrigation-- I set up a 30 gal container and it works for drip, but without a pipe system it's still one at a time, although I have to admit it's worth it to save my back. Plus, I have to have a supply ready for use in case my buddy needs to fill in for me and water the ladies. Been checking the cameras regularly ( I have them all throughout the property, game cameras with IR flash), and to date haven't seen anything that would constitute a threat. Just some curious raccoons and one really ugly opossum. Even the skunks don't bother them this year, which is nice but a little strange considering they dig in them every year. It's really just the animals I'm watching for, people aren't as much of a concern. Mostly because I don't know any. Aside from that, I sleep with my head feet away from my babies, so somebody would have to have big brass ones to even try. Yes, I know, a little overprotective. Fingers crossed it'll be one hell of a harvest (by my standards). 8/11 Update: Been lucky still with the weather, but it's turning really humid. Fed the girls this morning, a mix of 1C molasses and 1/2C epsom salt in 20 gallons. Just a little supplement to the tiger bloom they've been feasting on. Speaking of the Tiger Bloom, I can't help but think I'd do just as well mixing my own nutrient solution, since the cost really adds up quick. For his year, however, it'll be fine. My watering gizmo is working well, just leaks a tiny bit and that's fine for the remainder of the year. Now that I have an idea of what works for me I can spend the off-season setting up something right. Had to thin out the Lamb's a bit, it wasn't getting anywhere near enough air flow. Also took a few on the ChemDog as I'm expecting mold/rot conditions for a while and she's prone. Shouldn't have much problem, wind blows almost constantly here, but you can never be too careful. Training is taking well, overall they look pretty good. Next year-- bigger grow bags, better soil, and much pickier seed choices. I think I may even abandon the idea of topping them in the future-- it just slows them down and you can get the same end results with training. Granted, my ladies are kinda sparse and ugly, but that's the learning curve. Next time around I think I have a pretty good idea of what to do and when to do it, based on what worked and didn't work this year. Another big thing is nutrient timing-- I def jumped the gun on flower power for a few of them and it just stunted them wicked-- shoulda continued veg food a couple weeks into flower even for the early bloomer, she'd be a monster.

Alright folks always are now on day 18 and we are looking good. I did notice the plants needed water pretty badly. Hope I didnt stunt them. (Better than over watering imo) They did perk up once I watered them. They blew up since the last update and it was time to LST. Water the ladies today with aprox 8 cups of de-chlorinated water each, pH to 6.5. Moved the lights a little closer and added a new humidifier due to a break down with the old unit.

Divine Seeds Auto V.2 Contest 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W9F4 7/27-8/2 Big Demon Auto This week I’m still trying to resolve lockout issues by lowering the feed solution ph. I usually ph down the water to 6.6-6.8 and discovered the soil ph rose to +9. After taking measurements, I asked if the ph could also be contributing to the problems Black Opium and Big Demon exhibit. This high alkaline status contributed, if not caused the nutrient lockout. This week, I lowered the intake ph to 6.35. This reduced the runoff ph to 7.0-7.82. Big Demon looks like she is greening up a little but the damage done will remain. Many pistils are already orange, but this is an indication of stress not ripeness. I have been watering 1500 ml with 125ml run off. This is low and I will Increase water to 1750ml next time. Also I did not start Green Sensation as planned due to the lockout issues so maybe next week. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

So this and last week was all about dialing and maintaining temperature and humidity.. It's been quite hard to get the precise temperature and humidity because my growing closet is packed...My Gawd.. So she finally has Milky Trichs between the middle of her... The one thing that I wanted to test... So as I mentioned my closet is stacked lol so I decided to Chop off her 2 main Colas..Unfortunately I think my Grow light was placed too close to her canopy.. Which caused the two Main Colas trichomes to turn about 30% amber.. So this is a good trial to see if this will cause the smaller collas to fatten.. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞 🔀

Love the way these ladies are developing; the tent smells so good. Nothing to report this week. Spring weather is approaching in the midwest... tent gets a little warmer late afternoon. Will keep monitoring, but as it warms I will turn the AC on and should be good. Reducing veg nutes, increasing flower nutes. Pics/vid taken 71 days after breaking the soil.
