Coming on strong 💪

This week went pretty well, but I don't have much time for an update as I literally spent all day trimming up the wedding cheesecake, and now I am heading out of town to coach a baseball tournament. She is growing some nice thick colas, and I am still feeding her the same. I included a video for my final Wedding Cheesecake Harvest, hope you enjoy it, if you have any suggestions for music hit me up! I hope everyone has a great weekend, stay safe, and Blaze On!

I flushed the pots once this week. And use once with enhancer and a very small dose of shrot flowering fertilizer. And I tried very hard to lower the humidity and make the daytime temperature not more than 25 degrees 💐🛸👽💥1

Welcome to my Dark Phoenix diary by Greenhouse seed co. Plant looks good, drinks a lot and grows good, buds are setting now and growing towards golfball size... Cant wait to see coming weeks development... Growing with MarsHydro sp3000 60% SATIVA - 40% INDICA THC: 20-25% CBG: 0,5-1% CBD: 0% GENETICS Trainwreck x Jack Herer EFFECTS The effects are a balance of the relaxing body effect from the Trainwreck that can ease some medicinal user, with the uplifting effect from the Jack Herer that will keep your head clear and creative. A good day smoke to keep working. INDOOR Flowering Cycle: 56 - 70 days Yield: Medium - High OUTDOOR Harvest: mid-end October Average Height: 170 - 200 cm Yield: 700g/plant PRODUCT INFO The Dark Phoenix is a cross of the famous California cut Trainwreck that has been a reference during many years for medicinal use for insomnia, pain, lack of apetites, mixed with the equally famous and mythical, Jack Herer. By crossing the Trainwreck with the Jack Herer we wanted to bring the compactness and amazing foxtailing to the Jack’s smell and amazing production. The plant grows relatively tall but still moderate for an indoor grow, maybe with the use of topping for the lower spaces, the stretch of the Dark Phoenix is very vigorous during the first weeks of flowering and will produce some strong branches that will catch up on the sides to form on a nice crown effect. The flowers are as vigorous as the stretch, forming some beautiful and big preflowers early in the flowering, then they will connect together to form some long colas and explode in a beautiful sativa foxtailing bouquet with a very decent yeild and colors that can turn from blue to deep dark black leaves on some plants, a beautiful expression of colors. The smell of the Dark Phoenix is a must-smell for any sativa lover, the complex mix of flavors of the Jack going from the piney, earthy, and hazy, combined with the pungent smell of the Trainwreck bring some lemony and spiciness to the sativa mix. A great combination for a real explosion of flavors in mouth.

We got life and two are getting closer I’ll use this diaries for one only

Well, it's finally time for an update, right? And for a newbie like me this week has been quite eventful! 😲 After last week's "Helmet Head" (which I suppose was my fault for not burying the seed deep enough 😱) her leaves started to look twisty, Honestly don't know why that happened but my three hypothesis are: because that's just the way she is, because I didn't properly bury the seed or I made a mistake somewhere else. However I also think she looks pretty and this makes her look quite "special" 👍. In her 6-7th day after sprouting I noticed her leaves started to look even more twisty and she was about to outgrow her cup. I worried and decided that it was the right moment to transplant her. At first I didn't know "how" to do it and all I knew is that I could shock her if I did it wrong (which worried me haha 😨). None of the sites I checked really specified any kind of information regarding how I should prepare the medium for the new plant (just some vague information here and there) so I came with the idea to just water it bit and then "massage" the soil to avoid making it "lumpy" and I feel it did work out well in the end! I feel I didn't shock her much and in her second day she was growing even more as well! Nice! 😍 Next week I'll start feeding Puff with some nutrients but the PPM of the tap water where I live is somewhat high (around 600) and it's electroconductivity is around 1200 us/cm but a lot of growers in here still use it (they just wait for chlorine to evaporate) so I'll try doing the same. I'll use half dose of Biobizz Bio Grow and half dose of another product called Gold Sunshine from Quemanta (which is Cal-Mag with some amino acids) and see how things develop! 😃 I'll try to see if I can make my DSLR take the photos for future timelapses, because my webcam sucks for that job! Thanks everyone for reading 😉

She’s flawless with no problems, can’t wait to see what week 4 brings for flower development! Week 5 I’ll be running koolbloom powder. 30 inches tall after being laid down and trained. Have to conserve room for height restrictions in my space. Starting to get a bit bigger and the structure of the bud sites are pretty solid.

Day 67 of flower. The Kushes are 7-8 week flowering and are looking more done than the White Widows, at 8-9 weeks. Kini looks most done with the most orange pistils and coudy/amber trichomes. Everyone else is showing more ripening, but still going. I was really hoping to harvest this week (since I am off work) but it looks like they may still need a bit of time. We will see...

12 on 12 off light schedule from seed to harvest. Accidental of course. Currently Week 6 flower. All 12 plants under 2 TSW-2000 300W Mars Hydro lamps.

Lilac Diesel RBX2 Both plants smell diesely but the pheno with sativa like bud structure smells way stronger and has sweet pineapple notes along with a strong musky scent, I dried a small amount of it and i gotta say that this is the strongest tasting flower I've ever smoked in my life! Sweet pineapple inhale with a sharp diesely exhale. ALL ORGANIC NUTRIENTS USED!! GAIA GREEN 4-4-4 AND 2-8-4 WITH SOME ORGANIC SEAWEED EXTRACT WATER AND MOLASESS! ENDED UP BEING BETTER THAN ALL THE STUFF I GET FROM THE DISPO HERE IN MA! STRONGEST TASTING BUD IVE EVER SMOKED/VAPED AND IVE BEEN SMOKING SINCE I WAS 14!

Trichs seem to be further along then last grows, I can only assume the extra light and/or higher heat has cause them to finish a bit faster. Right now we are sitting on a majority of 70% cloudy, literally only a couple ambers through out. Wanting to harvest a little earlier this grow, hopefully day 59 or 60. Sooooo, 10-11 more days till chop. Day 51 Starting a flush, drained and filled with tap water, 2mL/L of flushing agent to help dissolve/bind salts. 3 hour cycle runtime with flushing agent. Drain/fill with high quality ROH2O, pH’d, H202 for disinfection.

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) – Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24–27°C, RH 55–60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. 👉 In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Repotted into 30l felt-bags on day 8. Roots hadn't made it through all the soil, but hopefully it wasn't too early though. poured 250 ml fertilizer solution around each plant, later sprayed another 250ml water (pH 6.2) to wet the surface, then poured some 1000ml into the fresh soil. combined with the poor weather it creates a rather moist environment..... i get hardly over 0.86 kPa VPD in the tent. Day 9: They really recover excellent from repotting. PROBLEMS with my exhaust hose! Something‘s disturbing the airflow…..:-( i can lyrically feel some backdraft from the vent. No major issue yet, but i‘ll have to fix it, to keep controll over climate.

10.08. Dos Si Dos 33# 1# Day 107# Dos Si Dos 33# 2# Day 107# The plants are progressing well, the day before yesterday was the end of their 15th week Both plants went into preflower this morning and 2 days ago they got a dose of bloom and half a dose of boost, and this morning they got bloom again. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

This week went by well, I will start checking the trichomes on the Runtz at the end of this week. It should be ready for harvest in the next 2 to 3 weeks The G13 is still smelling like magic, looking majestic. The GDP buds are starting to put on weight

SUMMARY: Still on Mid Bloom strength nutes this week (+ 1 tablespoon of molasses per 5L). Irrigating once every 24hrs as always with her taking in about 2.2L average per day and always aiming for 20-30% runoff. Whilst she has many tops, they're very skinny and I'm not sure they are going to fill out to be honest. DAY 58 ------ Friday 19th February 18:30 I found the tent at 28% RH. No idea how that's occurred but I did notice it was hotter then usual this morning. I turned the dehumidifier of for a couple of hours and it jumped back up to 61% and so I will just set it to 55% RH. I fed Jesus 2.2L of early bloom nutes which produced 195ml runoff (9%). Will up this back to 3L tomorrow. I adjusted a couple of ties to expose more bud sites. [24°C/52%] DAY 59 ------ Saturday 20th February 11:30 The tent temp has been sat at around 23°C overnight somehow. The dehumidifier keeping the humidity around 45-50% seems to also keep the temps between 23-27°C. Saturday 20th February 18:30 I fed Jesus 3L of mid bloom nutes which produced 1050ml runoff (34%). Looks like i have a humidity problem and so ive reluctantly removed some more leaves from Jesus as she is bushy again after a week or perhaps I didnt defol enough. If I have the dehumidifier off the humidity is in the low 60s but if I lower it to like 45-50% then the temps stays too high between 24°C-33°C. [22°C/64%] DAY 60 ------ Sunday 21st February 11:30 I made 5L of early bloom nutes at a pH of 5.8 and 5L of mid bloom nutes at a pH of 5.6, both made with tap water. Sunday 21st February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.5L of mid bloom nutes which produced 825ml runoff (33%). [22°C/49%] DAY 61 ------ Monday 22nd February 11:45 I made 5L of mid bloom nutes with rain water at a pH of 5.9. I am adding half a tablespoon of molasses to every 5L now by adding just enough boiling water to liquify the molasses and then pour it into the feed. Monday 22nd February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.5L of mid bloom nutes with molasses which produced 710ml runoff (28%). [22°C/55%] DAY 62 ------ Tuesday 23rd February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.3L of mid bloom nutes which produced 640ml runoff (28%). With the dehumidifier set to 50% RH it seems to keep it at around 50% RH though the temps between 25-30°C. If I turn the dehumidifier off the RH climbs to 60-64%. Removing more leaves will lower the humidity and I do pluck the odd one every day that is blocking light (I rotate the plants daily 25° per day to ensure all sides get a fair share of light). [25°C/50%] DAY 63 ------ Wednesday 24th February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2120ml of mid bloom nutes with molasses which produced 200ml runoff (10%). The temps have risen to 30°C due to the dehumidifier. It is currently set to 50% RH which keeps the temps around 28-30°C and the RH at around 38-40%. I have increased the setting to 65% to see if that helps lower the temp and increase the RH up to 45-50%. [30°C/40%] DAY 64 -------- Thursday 25th February 11:30 I made 10L of mid bloom nutes with rainwater and molasses (level tablespoon per 5L). 5L at a pH of 5.9 and 5L at a pH of 5.8 Thursday 25th February 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.4L of mid bloom nutes which produced 700ml runoff (29%). [22°C/55%]

Nov 16th: Day 52. SPIDER MITES! Chopped a leaf that was inside the plant getting no light and little airflow. Noticed a couple little dots on the leaf so checked the back with my loupe and seen spider mites and eggs... RECOVERY ATTEMPT: Lowering room temperature and increasing humidity slightly to around 45%. For the last few days it's been at 40% all the time due to the 0 degree weather outside! Spraying and wiping down affected leaves with this organic spray: https://mygoodgreen.com/collections/all-products/products/ferminator-organic-plant-wash Also sprayed Neem Oil on some leaves Nov 19th: Day 55. Keeping track of how many mites I find on each plant everyday to make sure they're going away.

4/22/24 🍓z I was going to take her down after I trimmed off all of the excess leaves and gave her some of the leftover maximum strength food from a space panda in the next tent. She really started taking off again, so I’m gonna keep her going. I’m gonna keep them all going and doing just great really starting to put out a lot of resin. They smell fantastic. I’m having a lot of fun with them so I’m gonna keep them going. I could take them down right now they are ready, but I just wanna grow them a little more. 👍👍👍 4/23/24 Wow they are great. ZStraverriez...hard to type.... is READY! I took the leaves off a couple days ago to see if I would get any growth but nope. So I will use FloraKleen 10ml per gal and do a 2 or 3 gallon flush and put her back in for a day. I harvested the CBD. It smells like berries, just great just the right size in a 2 gallon pot with no training. I found a seed in the CBD, the others might be seeding as well......that is my oldest tent probably has pollen somewhere. Still everything is good, but im getting a new tent...I also just got a MarsHydro light for 100 it's the light bar one. 4/23/24 Apricot and straw. gorilla are growing good. Zstraberriez....which is a HUGE BITCH TO SPELL....but WOW smells like berries and vanilla and happiness. I let some dry for a few hours and put it in the Arizer X2 and she was great. These are so fast and the colors are beautiful too. It's like a perfect autumn day with all the leave changing color. Except my colors are way better and I can smoke them.... 4/24/24 🍓🍓🦍🍑👍💎💎💎 I am seeing lots of resin form. I thought they would be ready to go, but it looks like they just kind of took a little pause and I trimmed off the unnecessary and fading leaves and they got their second wind and now seeing a lot of resin production💎💎💎. they smell great. They look like they’re ready to keep going for another two weeks so I’m gonna do that and I’ll just harvest a little bit along the way I smoke some of all of them this morning and they’re just great. 👍👍👍 4/25/24 I ended up doing a little bit heavier, feeding than usual. I did about 2 mL of all the supplements and now I’m seeing lots of resin. I’m very careful all the other nutrients have burned my plants horribly but I’m very careful in general. Hydroponic seems to do a good job without burning. Fastbuds has a 25 pack of all their different strains mixed together for 100. I might do that. I’m kind of neurotic. I may need to know what I’m growing I think about this. I really like all of their plants they have a personality all of their own. I like Seedsman and the F1 it’s from Royal queen seeds. 4/25/24 🍑🍓🍓 marsHydro FC-E1500. I just got this delivered today. It cost 100. Although it is a powerful amazing light is no good for me at home. The TS-1000 lights you can move the driver outside the tent and then the top of the light has a little resting tray. This one is totally for commercial use, you cannot remove the driver and its pretty heavy, sold construction all the way, but in my small space I’m gonna have to wrap this up and put it away. It’s a 10 out of 10 it’s a beautiful light super bright. It’s everything you want in a grow light for a commercial space but it is way too hot for a small 24” x 24” tent that I grow in. I have 3 tents and can't run lights over 90Watts or the room gets too hot, and I can grow 3 or 4 perfectly with the TS-1000 set at about only 90 watts, its just perfect. This will get far too hot in the small tent, unless I want to set my air conditioner to 72 and get a massive electric bill! so I’m gonna stick with these TS-1000, the most perfect home light for grow tents I have ever used. I’ll give this light away someday but the Mars Hydro TS-1000 is still the absolute best light I’ve ever used. I have 4 of them now. 4/28 🍓🍓🍑👍💦💦💦💎💎💎 I can’t believe the amount of res in that they are all starting to put out. They are really getting their second wind. I am just having a lot of fun with them so I’m gonna keep them going as long, probably for a couple more weeks at least until they are no longer viable, but I should be able to keep them going pretty good for a while. 👍

Flushed her for 1 and a half weeks and now ready for the chop!

Starting to realise why it is called Northern Lights, it is glowing even in the dark. Plant looks healthy, enjoying it's mid flowering party.
