Week 4 (3/14/22 - 3/20/22) Added a 3 gallon reservoir and set up 2 pumps. One to oxygenate and mix the reservoir and the other to feed the plants through drip irrigation. Also drilled a hole on a corner of the tray to drain the run off into a cup. Originally thought of recirculating the water but rather not deal with pH and PPM fluctuations.

Welcome growers The first month of life is ended for this beautiful CREAM CARAMEL 🍬🍭🍫 She still one of the most vigourous in my garden and, like the previous weeks, very happy and healthy A few days ago i have decided to modificated her grow doing some training and, for be precis, i cut of the central stem, making of the topping technique ✂️ I would to have the same heightnes for all my ten strains in the garden and so, i decided to do it for all my ladyes (except one) I have also cut a couple of leafs off, not too much for now, just for increase the airflow and for a higher lights exposure of the lowers parts 🍃 And she reacts pretty well 💪 For helping in this "hard time" i have also changed anothers things, like lights intensity and types of nutrients.. About the lights 💡 Doing that, i have increase the potency of my two Mars-Hydro SP3000, from 25% to 50% ⬆️ The two led panel are connected with a cable and i have only to adjuste the dimmer of one of them for change the intensity of each one, in just one move.. Pretty useful 💯 In the middle of the week i have switch from 18/6 on/off to 16/8 on/off.. Always tryed to mimic the natural cycle of the sun light, works good to me 👌 Anyway.. About nutrients 👇 In this week i have giving her always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Activator (Biomagno) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) and a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) {This last one i have used in a foliar spray solution} Like i usually do, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 See you in week n°5 upgrade 📆 Thanks a lot for stopping by here, hope you enjoyed 😎👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹

Solid week of growth, looking and smelling amazing.

With great joy I will start my second season growing cannabis. I hope to learn from some small mistakes from the first season where I was surprised by my performance as a first-time sailor cultivating the BlueDream strain. This season I left the 4 seeds of GorillaGlue 36hrs in a pot of water to break the dormancy. After that I used the napkin technique for more 42 hrs. So I put each one in a 5-gallon airpot, as they are automatic and go to harvest in the same pot. After 24hrs in the vase the first 2 little leaves came out. I made a homemade dome with a 2-gallon water bottle, cutting it into strips and lining it with plastic with some holes to keep the humidity high during this initial phase. We entered the first week of cultivation and unfortunately due to an oversight I got confused in the fertilizer table and clearly the dreaded overfert happened. I did a watering only with water to try to remove the excess fertilizer let's hope it works.

6-3: The first day at a new week of flowering (Day 35 of Flowering). The girls groing very well. The buds gets bigger and bigger and I like de polyp Bud very much. :)

Old Dinafem free seeds I got from attitude 5 years ago... 6 critical/cheese All sprouted but one. 2 growing fast and big 1 medium/small 2 very small ( wanted to discard those at first because they were the weakest and slowest one to grow but I could not kill them!!! And so kept them squeezed on the side in a small pot just to see. Planted the two biggest one completely laying on their side in the final pots before flowering because they were way too big for my little set up! I tried not to make too much lower stem in the medium, but I think I should have bent early in veg instead of what i did... One of the plant did not like it very much, but the other could not care less...Roots were poking out the top layer of pot, roots were truly rioting!

The not so little now really is growing well😊. Had to get it in another box to keep good temperature. I keep doing some defoliation Time to Time.

She has jumped to 28 inches. Impressive really. Defoleated A lot of useless bottom crap. Her stem has healed and is about 1 inch thick. She is looking and growing great.

I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.

Another beautiful week with my partner in crime. Babes are coming along beautifully. Got 4 Sonoma’s goin few weeks old, and got 3 mephisto auto’s doin their germ thang. More of course to follow. Hope y’all like my pics.

Now we're Back on Track. I've started to her to the Side, to form her. The Permanent Marker is a Hybrid which IS very clear Here. Long branches without enough flowerstems. I tie the main's for a good 90 degree to go in the Kind of sog direction. And, what i learned from Carl Kushman: Break the inside carefully of your stems. It will make the plant stronger. Believe me. Just feel small balls inside the stems and crush every other. With that technic you can Control the growing

Autos are doing alright this week. Very low RH has kept them from being their best selves. No worries, early season growing suck, and this years faults will be next years improvements. Next year will move from an electric heater to an oil filled radiant so that I dont suck so much moisture out of the air First week of flower, I expect them all to stretch this week

Hello all and thank you for stopping by. Not much drama this week as things have settled down and we're finally seeing big growth. Day 16 - Really nothing happened here. I did water with my remaining BS Molassis/Epsom salt solution. PH corrected up to 6.5 Day 17 - Here is my only real drama. If you see in the corresponding picture I have shriveled and yellowed tines on my 3 bladed leaves. This is because I left my light to close for too long. Because I wasn't paying attention to the distance between the light and canopy (Only monitoring the height of the plant) for about 3 days the canopy was getting closer till this day when I realized. I raised the light to 20" about canopy and remaining at 60%. Good news is my exhaust fan controller switch and ducting came in. I set it up and love how much more stable my Temps and RH have become. Day 18 - Today I started bottom watering and what a difference I'm noticing. She just sucked up the water and the growth moving forward was satisfying. Day 19 - Just monitored the environment on this day. However the damage to the leaves is done but the colour came back so Ying yang ☯️ Day 20 - again nothing but monitor the environment. I started rotating the pots 1/4 turn per day Day 21 - Bottom watered today and she took almost 500ml. Sprayed top down As well to moisten top. Added sticky traps for pest control. Also adjusted light up an inch to please the canopy. Day 22 - Today I rotated the pot 1/4 turn, misted the top of coco and monitored environment. She has about 3 nodes now although tightly packed. Breeder did say she was a short bushy girl. Overall the plant is coming along nicely and I'm happy with her growth. The stunting could have been my over watering in seedling or maybe it wasn't that bad, looking back that is. Logging has helped me so much as I often feel I'm not doing enough, then look in my logs and see, no you did that shit yesterday. Thank you to everyone who said to keep notes. I listened and I'm indebted to you all. Cheers till next week 🌲🌬️

Hey Guys! Pretty satisfied this week! I have watched over the tricomes and almost all are cloudy so I started to Flush them2 days ago. My guess is 5 more days to Harvest. I’m pretty excited to smoke my First Grow!!! Really waiting is the hardest part now. The shape & Smell of pineapple 🍍 and passion fruit is killing me...so good! I’ve learned that this specific genetics reacts very well to wind stress and likes cooler temp for the best yield and odor, that’s why I’ve got a giant AC in summer for them and it really worked!!! If you’ve seen the video, I’m growing 3 more beautiful seeds, I’m gunna add a diary for themand it’s very easier than growing for the first time, but I haven’t stopped learning. In General, Im in love with growing, makes me feel ALIVE.☺️ Thanks for keeping up with my girls.

Day 1 Just planted seed direct to coco coir, bagged for humidity, no exhaust fan as of yet, COBs dimmed to 1/10th power...let's see how this goes also sprinkled seed holes with great white mychorrhizae. Day 3- Sproutling Partially Unearthed , Installed AC Infinity T6 Day 4- I have little sproutlings 100% germination and 3 above ground girls. Combated low humidity yesterday with an asthma nebulizer lol. Decided to invest in a humidifier today. So far so good.👍🏾 Day 5- Today coco was a little dry. Gave them Cal-Mag and Great White myko mixed water Ph balanced to 5.8.
