I've been putting this grow diary off for too long. I'm somewhat new to growing, so it would help to have some of you share your thoughts as we progress through the next few days/weeks. I've got a few strains going in my grow space. A mix of a couple autos and photos. This diary is all about the Auto Blow Dream by Victory Seeds. I'm using a 3 gallon fabric pot, fox farms trio and this plant has a 1000w (185w draw) BestVA FS LED dedicated to it. Soil is a simple mix of peat moss and perlite, with some fishmeal and bonemeal added.

Day 44 - Some lower leaf issues on the Sour Stompers, mostly #1. I've switched to just pH'd water the last 2 waterings, might continue to hold off on nutes until the roots are strong enough. Some minor burning on 4AM as well but not as bad.

Week 7 Flower We've finally started flush 💦 on Day 43. I still run EM1 at 1ml/ltr as it goes a long way once activated/stretched. It's always going to be a benefit to keep any microbes you can in the coco. You can also use Mammoth P throughout flush, but due to its price I just stick to EM1 in flush. There's plenty of other microbes that can be used too. I flush around twice the pots' volume at 6pH. But before flooding the pot I slowly pour water through the centre of the pot, around the stem, in order to take a true reading of the ppm and pH of the run off. If the ppm/ec reads a lot higher than your average feeding throughout bloom, then there's been issues such as a lockout, incorrect pH, over feeding etc. This wasn't the case, as this girls' was at the right level. If the pH is too high or low, I adjust the pH of the rest of the water that'll be flushed to try to fix it. Again, this wasn't the case with this girl as she had a perfect pH 👌👍 Just before all of the water has gone through the pot, I take one last reading from her last bit of run off. The ppm should be down to no more than 100ppm for the first flush (+starting ppm of water if using tap water). After the first flush the ppm value of the run off will quickly go all the way down to 0, or at least below 50ppm (+tap water ppm). I use tap water that is between 150-190ppm, but I'm looking to switch to RO as soon as I can. I still get a very good flush, but I think using RO water will be the next step in getting a more thorough flush as it won't contain even the small amount of nutrients and metals that tap water contains (along with any harmful chemicals). Always remember to bubble or let the water sit for 24-48hrs before feeding to your plants. That goes for all feedings in every stage of growth if using tap water. Because I keep fairly low temps in the Den she's starting to turn a beautiful dark purple. Her buds are still swelling and smelling like a nice gassy OG, with hints of citrus/tropical fruits. I'm really looking forward to taking this girl down, but after at least another week! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

2nd week complete! Its growing day to day, with noticeable changes. Im waiting one more week before I switch to 12-12 and change it to the 12L container. I've been watering every 2 days, about 50 ml each time I water. One feed, one water, thats the schedule. I noticed that there are a lot of bud sites developing in the branch formation, so excited!! 👻
