Has some external high temperature lead to temp rise inside causing some tip burn my fault ! , had a lazy few days stretching of plants was more than intisapated not normal for led but got high as 31f inside grow tent , then weather changed high humidity now settling at 24f humidity 45/50 Hopefully lots of flowering to go 🙏

Seedling stage still about to enter day 1 Veg

| 📅 Week 8 | Days 50 - 56 | 💡 750w 📏26' | | ☔ 33%-45% | | 🌡️️🌞 75 - 81 | | 🌡️️🌑 70 - 75 | 12/28: I did a reservoir swap on all the plants and adjusted their PHs to 5.8. Humidity was getting really low So I added some containers with water and a towel dipped in to act like a wick to increase the RH. The smell has started to get noticeable so Ill have to be adding the carbon filter sooner. 12/29: Humidity has responded well and has increased to near desired levels. All reservoirs were topped off and had their PH's adjusted to 6 because they have been dropping low lately. Moved the SCROG placements a bit and adjusted the fans as well. Refilled the ambient containers of water for RH levels. 12/30: Reservoirs were topped and although only one needed a noticeable amount. All reservoirs have dropped low again and have been adjusted to 6 to compensate once more. The humidity has reached desired levels and is being stable thankfully! 02/31: I removed a few containers of water because the RH has become fairly stable. The reservoirs were of course topped off, but today they were adjusted to a PH of 5.8 instead of 6 like the last few days. Adjusted the SCROG a small amount. The plants are showing severe Mag deficiency and I will be doubling their nutrient schedule ASAP I just fear the Nitrogen toxicity, but at this points its way better than a this Cal/Mag def. 01/01: Happy New Years!! I have set up the Carbon filter because the smell is getting very noticeable. I swapped out the back right non-focus plants reservoir with the doubled nutrients and added great white mycorrhizae as well. The Focus plant and the other had their reservoirs topped of with tap water then PHed to 5.8. 01/02: I adjusted the PHs of all the plants to 5.8 after topping them off with tap water. I also adjusted the SCROG a slight bit and removed some old foliage. The RH levels are still in the acceptable rage for my setup so I will just refill the open containers and not add/remove any of them. - 01/03: 2 of the plants including the focus plant had their reservoirs topped off. All of the plants had their reservoirs adjusted to 5.8PH. The RH dropped a slight bit, so I mixed some PHed tap water with CaliMagic to make foliar spray. Its not enough to compensate the lack of Mag in the Nutrient schedule. Tomorrow (Jan 4th) the plants will have their nutrients increased to resolve the issues. Unfortunately I didn't have enough time in the last week to do it sooner. _____________________________________________________ This marks the end of week 8! The nutrients will be increased tomorrow and I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to show the Focus Plants buds getting plump and dark much like its non-focus plant counterparts. The focus plant has undeniably shown its Purple phenotype at this point so that mystery has been resolved. The only questions now is how fast will these plants react to the increased nutrients and bounce? I have faith in these plants to put out a respectable harvest and i'm already looking forward to future runs with this strain now that I am more acquitted to it. All of the plants will be using Great White Mycorrhizae starting with their swaps tomorrow. Feel free to leave comments/questions below or give me any feedback to improve my diaries. If you like this Diary follow along and check out my others as well 😎

Second week of flower and I defoliated again. There are small bud sites starting to form at the end of week two flower. The apple fritter has fascination which is making the stems grow interestingly with lots of bud sites.

August 10-15th Flowers were popping and the tent looked happy and healthy

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.

UPDATES: Just started flowering and it already has frosty leaves. It stinks too, smells wayyy heavier than my later stage plants! GENETICS: -Mephisto ~ Sour Stomper Been waiting to plant my first Mephisto seed. I had a hard time getting a hold of some, but got the Sour Stomper from Harvest Mutual eventually. WATER: -Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) -Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: - Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 27'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1-2'C - Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C - Under Canopy Temp: 27'C (Day) ~ 22'C (Night) - Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) - VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) - Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: - Avg. ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = up to 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) - Avg. actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = up to 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) - Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: - 2 x CREE COBs - At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 35,000-45,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 NUTRIENTS: - Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) - Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) - Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: - Mostly getting out of the plants way and letting nature take its course. - Some LST. (i.e. tying down branches and tucking large leaves away) - No HST or Defoliation. INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb - Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. - Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. - Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

Nov 29: They seem to be accelerating in veg growth but I see a small portion of the leaf on the smaller plant either grew in mutated or somthing cut it, I haven’t seen a single bug in the box so I don’t think it’s that but you never know, and the bigger plant has some issues near the base of its stem, I noticed it before I did the LST and now I’m wondering if I should have addressed that issue before starting the LST. Let me know what you guys think! Dec 2: Walked into the room and noticed a faint smell, wasn’t any smell last night when I started the LST on the slower girl. Further inspection showed some white pistols on the bigger girl, I believe she is the culprit for the smell as the other seems about a week behind. They are both now LST‘d and leaf tucked. Enjoy the pics and vid’s! Dec 6: I have tied down some of the longer chutes on the bigger plant (will see in week 5 update) to create more airflow and light penetration as I didn’t even realize how bushy the stem and node sections had gotten. I have also cut the chutes coming off the first true leaf. I don’t think I will make any cuts to the smaller one as it’s already a slower growing pheno. Going on a trip starting the end of week secede to late week 8, so I have a automatic feeder coming from Amazon, and I will continue using it through flower to reduce open tent time.

Hello Growmies, As we navigate through week 9, the crescendo of the Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids’ flowering odyssey is near. Nestled within the verdant grove alongside the Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding strains, our Watermelon Candy troupe is displaying the telltale signs of impending harvest. The plants exude a melody of sweetness, with trichomes glistening like morning dew under the subdued glow of the IR lights, revealing a spectacular array of colors not typically seen in the standard lighting spectrum. Despite the compact nature of the buds, which is a result of the 12/12 light cycle they've been flourishing under, the density of these floral clusters cannot be overstated—like tiny, aromatic asteroids. Plant #1 continues its reign with a prolific bud structure that's nothing short of mesmeric. Plants #2 and #3 exhibit a bounty of floral nodes, each one a testament to the bounteous yields that are just a fortnight away. Their canopies spread wide, a testament to the cultivar's vigorous growth habit and the attentive care they’ve received. Though the buds might not break records in size, their solidity is remarkable—a testament to the precise environmental controls maintained by our trusty TrolMaster. The buds are rock-solid, heavy with resin, and brimming with the promise of potent effects and delectable flavors. Our nutritional regimen remains unchanged, delivering the essential elements for these final, crucial stages of bloom. The meticulous oversight of our automated systems ensures that our Watermelon Candy Hybrids are relishing in their peak conditions, as we nudge them gently toward full maturation. With a harvest on the horizon, the anticipation is palpable. These final days are a mixture of excitement and the bittersweet acknowledgment that this chapter is closing. Soon, we’ll be able to savor the fruits of our labor, a sweet reward for the weeks of dedication and camaraderie in our grow community. Until then, we'll continue to marvel at the transformation, watching as each plant fulfills its genetic destiny, soon to provide joy and relief in its final form. Stay lifted, Salokin

Code ; NINJABUDS for a discount on ELUFAH lights The spectrum from ELUFAH is really making the plants grow really well My papa Payton I have growing under the ELUFAH uap-1500 along with the ELUFAH Saturn ring under canopy light. I recently put the plant back in a 2x2 I did have 2 plants but the other plant needed up being male. No need for the larger tent still.

Starting to get close to the end the tall buds are packing on the weight very large plant very frosty will have a great yield from this plant

11/3 - Today is technically the first day of Week 5 and also the first day I could see a visible drop in her water level since her last check-in (~12 hours apart). As a result, her ppms shot up to around 800. I diluted the solution with straight tap (7.5pH, 170ppm) since her pH was registering around 5.3. This brought her up to 5.6pH and 670ppm (1.0ec + tap, 500ppm of nutrients). I would have liked to adjust her pH more, but the water level ended up at the bottom of the basket. I'll adjust further as necessary. The other day while attempting to LST her top branches, they ended up snapping off, so I just topped her down one node and broadened her other LST to make her as squat as possible. Once I am able to find a suitable individual ScrOG screen, I will put it on her. 11/4 - I wasn't even planning on doing an update today, but I want to note a few changes. The first of which is a visible difference between her foliage density in a span of 36 hours. Her root bundle is over a foot long and getting more wound up every day. I removed her LST ties in order to take advantage of the ScrOG screen apparatus (see notes below). After lights came back on, she measured 645ppm and had another notable drop in water level. Currently, I am preparing another nutrient solution that closely matches what she is feeding on now. I will be upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket. I will be aiming for 1ec of nutrients/additives (500ppm + Tap on my meter, Hanna Primo .5 conversion). Tap measured 180ppm, so target ppm would be 680. Later that same day... So I finished upgrading her to a 5 gallon bucket before I actually got done writing the update. Added one photo showing new 5 gallon setup. Solo ScrOG test mk1 - In an attempt to do a ScrOG, but maintain control over each bucket, while still having relatively easy access to each reservoir, I decided to throw together this little contraption. I removed the lowest complete segment of a tomato cage, leaving a short "tail" beyond the lower ring to act as a peg to insert into corresponding holes in the lid. The lower ring is 10" in diameter and the upper is approximately 12" in diameter. Each ring is 11" apart. I would prefer to have a shorter segment, but I haven't worked out exactly how to do this yet. I would prefer to set the screen height at around 6" above the bucket instead of 11". This will have to suffice for the time being while I let my latent conscious work out a solution or one is provided by the community. Above each cage will sit a coated wire fence with grids measuring ~2"x3", as shown in the above picture. 11/5 - Uploaded short video showing Solo ScrOG Apparatus in place. Screen height currently set to 6". Thanks for stopping by my garden, and, as always, Happy Growing!

Dear grow community, I report back with the 3rd week of my Royal Gorilla grow. They have shot up and show no defficiencies or flaws. I will start using LST in the 4th week. You will see results in 7 days. Best wishes Abslolutgrow

The two big middle girls are the La Bomba ones ✌️🏻💚💨

😎Happy day to all, my brothers!😎 We have reached the end of a wonderful journey...that of MY FIRST HYDROPONIC GROWING!!! I have obtained fantastic results from everything that accompanied me on this wonderful journey! starting from the bucket and the pump to finish with a wonderful AUTOFLOWERING genetics, each single component has played a fundamental role in the game, managing to give me extraordinary results....(let's hope it wasn't beginner's luck : )😁😁😁 on this special day, I send a greeting to all the people who unfortunately are no longer among us, but always live in our hearts!😇 LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKED THE DIARY IN THE COMMENTS

The Day has come to flip the lights 🌱☄️⏲️ Plants are healthy enough and producing lots of new leaves. Stems are also getting thicker and Turgor ist there. I bend some stems and used the net to gain a bit of control, but not like real Scrogg should be done, but that's not what I'm aiming for. I also cut of stems and leaves from the bottom, which are not necessary. Later, at day 19 -23 , I will do a bigger defoliation, to get a thinner carpet and allow weaker growth to gain more light. I still don't use NPK fertilizer, only rooting acceleration and Silica in form of Mono-Silic-Acid with Hints of Boron. As you can see, the ladies are developing a healthy green, not like you could see in the weeks before. The plant in the left side suffered from Wind damage, I just hung up the Vent a bit higher and decreased the power.

5/31 Week 10 and the state of the grow is winding up I know Baba looks like hell, her buds are in danger of breaking some of the branches so I have everything kind of falling in on itself supported by bamboo. Harvest Sally and Athena yesterday leaving only Jane Baba and Cleo (my wife's) in the tent so turning down the lights a bit they are getting plenty Water only not much to do till harvest 6/3 Just nothing going on, giving them water Baba seems done now little further hair growth or bulking, harvest in a day or so, real busy with other projects so no promises 6/4 Yield from Sally and Athena wet - 650 grams dry - 151 grams about 5 oz, so with Baba still left to harvest looks like we good for an holiday season grow of this strain next winter. Cannot believe how thick the trics are on these two and the one left is even more frosty. Baba harvest tomorrow not sure about the twin 6/5 Harvest day for Baba only Jane remains Baba wet - 533 grams Running totals so far : Wet - 1188 grams Dry - 151 grams (expect to double this) Looks like we almost matched our numbers on the first two plants as expected. Prob a good 10 ounces on the grow not great but a good grow none the less with 8 months of medicine so this strain is on the schedule for November. Harvest report on Jane harvest , may be a few days she still making bud
