This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.

02/24/25 - Short Facts: - Plant is looking horrible, quite many leaves have necrosis -- had to cut many off - VPD increased to 1.2, but I can only get it up to 1.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, what is there to say? I haven't had as much time lately, so I haven’t been keeping a close eye on the plants in general—especially on the 1:Walt. But a few weeks ago, I noticed that something was wrong and concluded that it had to be a sulfur deficiency. So I bought Epsom salt, which contains both sulfur and a lot of magnesium. And here was my first mistake: I misdiagnosed the deficiency. My next mistake was using way too much Epsom salt—far more than I should have. That was a big mistake, which only made things worse. This is how the plant started to look like, but unfortunately, I caught it too late—like I said, I was quite busy. It was so obvious that something was going wrong. The leaves at the top of the plant looked worse and worse by the day. So I did some research and came to the following conclusions: - I misdiagnosed the problem. It was never a sulfur deficiency but actually a manganese deficiency. The small spots all over the leaves later became necrotic, eventually killing some of them. - By adding too much Epsom salt, I disrupted the balance between calcium and magnesium. This inhibited calcium uptake, leading to the symptoms of a calcium deficiency as well. I bought some "micronutrients" that do contain manganese and I watered it in and also sprayed the foliage. Right now, the plant looks so bad that I don’t know if she’ll be able to finish flowering or if I’ll have to do an emergency harvest. The next big problem is that I won’t be here for about ten days, starting on Wednesday next week. So yeah... not good.

Excited to try a couple more of these seeds. Might just do all different strains since they didn't finish at the same time and I've got a ton of auto seeds right now anyways. First auto grow, pretty nice not having to worry about light leaks in my cheap tent. Gonna keep on the autos until I can upgrade my grow space. I'll give a smoke report in a few weeks. Smells amazing already!

143gr for the Larger pheno and 97 for the shorter, very respectable yield in total for 3 Wk Veg. Total 240gr even they each had 1.5’x1.5’ of space. Big yielder, buds are 10/10 & very easy to grow . Could be prone to mold in an uncontrolled environment.

NOTES: I stopped using the root stimulator as I fill the tanks, next full nutrient solution change to mid-bloom phase is at around 3rd to 4th week flowering. I'll I stop using the Grow nutrient and will increase Bloom the same amount. A lot of training on upper parts with the net and some light defoliating on lower parts of the plants. Day57 (12.12.) Day58 (13.12.) Defoliated and pruned my plants a bit more. Removed some big fan leaves covering large areas of becoming bud sites but mostly focused on lower leaves growing inwards, blocking growth, airflow etc.. Added a video afterwards. Day59 (14.12.) Day60 (15.12.) I continued doing the same as before, light defoliation mostly under the canopy. Day61 (16.12.) Day62 (17.12.) Everything looks good and my teenagers are finally beginning to flower, also no signs of any males or hermaphodites so that's good. Filling the net and keeping the tops and bud sites at the same level is a lot of work since they've stretched a lot. They've also needed some pruning and defoliating but I've tried to not remove too much before they've finished growing bigger. After that, propably on 4th week of flowering I can decide better on what to remove and what to keep for the rest of the grow. Day63 (18.12.) I started the last heavier defoliation process which includes removing around 50% of the upper leaves blocking airflow and light to the developing bud sites. I'll continue the process propably a couple days so I don't stress them too much. It's pretty time-consuming to dive in to each plant and remove anything that's unneccessary for the rest of the grow, keeping that in mind I don't even have the time to do everything at once. This includes the bottom nodes and branches that aren't going to reach even close to the net, the leaves that are blocking the light on top, and the leaves at the bottom of the canopy that aren't getting basically any light. Thanks for the tips! 💪

Flowering is starting well, starting to see trichs so I’ve gave them their first feed with bloom nutes (C4) which is also 95% organic which is always a bonus imo and I’ve not grown anything using organic products so I’m anticipating to see the end results. Their all 3ft tall or just under which is abit taller than usual but overall we’re looking fine, did some minor defoliation and lollipoping on the bottoms 1/4 of all 3.

🧡 ACAPULCO GOLD 🧡 This is becoming a very interesting pheno! She has developed 3 tops, and growing really well, nice and healthy, and is looking so far 👌 I have a full tent, so I'm considering letting the plants in this grow, grow up as I've got plenty of head space but very little horizontal space. This one is a Sativa, and so I am preparing for a tall plant. This was what I did this week: 23.6.25: I watered with 2L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 and containing no nutrients. PH: 6.6 PPM: 307 26.6.25 I gave 2l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2 with no nutrients; PPM: 333 PH: 6.4 27.6.25: I top dressed the plant today, I watered yesterday. Top dress: ♡ 2 cups Worm Castings ♡ 1 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 1/2 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP Cinnamon 29.6.25: I watered with 1L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0-6.2 and containing the following nutrients per 5 litres; ♡ 1 Tsp Cal-Mag by Greenleaf Nutrients PH: 6.0-6.2 PPM: 1300 Thanks for checking out my diary 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

D49 - The first day in the third week of flower, and all is well. I still haven't seen any thrips on her, but you can never be too careful since I have them in my other tent, so I went full Rambo by cutting up a package and using a teaspoon to place predatory mites on her leaves and taking care to avoid the flowers. I also redirected the airflow to not blow directly on her and I'll leave the sawdust there until tomorrow and then brush it off. D53 - Not much to report really, except that I switched on the UV light. She is just doing her thing, slowly fattening her buds. D55 - I gave her 1.2-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5 today. We're only at the end of the third week of flower, but she has several yellow leaves already.
