Week 3: Adapting and Thriving Transplanting to Larger Pots This week, I transplanted the plants into 11-liter fabric pots filled with Plagron coco coir mixed with perlite (70/30). The small pots were already root-bound. It's often said that a plant will stop growing when the taproot reaches the bottom of the pot. Personally, I think this is nonsense, but we'll see. This transplant provides them with more space for root development and better aeration, promoting healthier growth. Growth Observations The plants are showing significant growth, with vibrant green leaves and sturdy stems. The increased light exposure from the greenhouse setup is clearly benefiting them. Their resilience is impressive, and they appear to be adapting well to their environment. Feeding and Watering As the coco mix dries out, I am preparing for their next feeding. Following the Terra Aquatica Tripart feeding chart, I have increased the nutrient solution to an EC of 1.0 mS/cm. This should provide them with the necessary nutrients without the risk of nutrient burn, especially for autoflowering strains. I will not go higher than this concentration to ensure their safety. Improved Weather Conditions The weather has improved significantly, with very little rain and temperatures ranging between 19°C and 22°C for the next few days. This stable weather is ideal for the plants, providing them with consistent conditions to continue their healthy growth. Daily Care Routine My daily routine includes checking the plants in the morning and evening, adjusting the greenhouse openings as needed, and monitoring the moisture level of the coco mix. This consistent care helps me stay on top of any changes and address them promptly. Looking Forward As we progress into the third week, I am excited to see how the plants continue to develop in their new, larger pots with the adjusted nutrient levels. The combination of a controlled environment, balanced nutrition, and diligent care is setting a strong foundation for their growth. Update on 11.06.2024 Today, I fed my plants for the second time this week. During this feeding, I adjusted the nutrient amount for the vegetative phase (2/3 of the recommended amount from Terra Aquatica): CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.2 ml/l Bloom: 0.8 ml/l Micro: 0.4 ml/l EC: 1,166 ms/cm (536 ppm PPM-500/TDM) PH: 5,83 The plants were watered with approximately 20% drain. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey.

Critical x Animal cookies Is just growing into her nutrition. I was running a little strong from beginning. I took the first leaves off as they were damaged pretty bad. She should be ready to go now. She has been growing under the Hortibloom solux 350. I pruned the tips on roots to keep them spreading wide vs down. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Que pasa familia, este proyecto no va tan bien como el anterior pero aun así intentaré sacarlo adelante y lo mejor posible. Se efectuó el trasplante a macetas de 7 y de 15 litros , aumentamos el riego , y en nada abonaré con un producto rico en Nitrógeno, ya que el trasplante no les sentó del todo bien y la planta en si está chupando su Nitrógeno, por eso el principio de amarilleo en los bajos. Tener tiene solución vaya. Ahora para que no vaya a más entre riego y riego hay que estar atento para que no sufra excesos por qué sería sumar problemas. Ya empecé abonar con Advanced nutrients la gama básica del mono. Y poco más lo que veis quitando el problema del nitrógeno guay pero eso es dejadez así que ya sé que me tengo que poner las pilas , un abrazo y buenos humos familia 💨💨

This lady may just be the best looking plant I’ve ever grown by far. The smell is incredible, and so pungent it fills a room within minutes. It’s like pungent rotten grape scented cologne with notes of skunk and meat. The trichome coverage is unreal, I’m super excited to press some of this once it’s cured. Waiting for a few more amber trichs then chopping in about a week.

HI all thought i would show the last week of this run. at first, i thought this plant wouldn't be to great at flower. but the end results are looking up. the buds are so tight! the buds are not massive but very dense and the smell is really kicking in. currently starting to flush for one more week and i will harvest on week 13. i will update the weight once it dries.

Harvest date 08.12.23 - Day 91 from sprout. HI! My "first" proper grow, I raised some seedlings about 10 years ago and planted them on the side of a field and in the woods, I don't really count that, you do yours :) I just want to be transparent. It went better than expected, like a lot! Thanks to Hoocho on Youtube I got into hydroponics and NFT, I love NFT :D check him out! Did some veggies like salad, pak choi, spring onions etc. they got HUGE the pak choi was ~3x the size you see in the stores and tasted delicious, so at this point it was clear to me, when I grow weed it will be NFT even though almost nobody else does it, that made it even more appealing to me because I don't like to do things the way others do it :) I want to find my own way but that doesn't mean I don't take other growers lightly I study their work and pick what works best for me, a little here a little there and here I am now. Another youtuber I like to mention is Basementganja and his VERY well documented grows, and all the people on the Discord! check him out! I still wish I hadn't grown the Orion because it basically stole the Northern Lights some potential and yield. Also next time 2 plants in a 2x4 not 3! wasn't my brightest moment :D NL#1 yielded 1980g with stem and all, 985g after wet trimming. NL#2 yielded 1788g with stem and all, 1004g after wet trimming. I am not to picky with trimming, my buds don't need to look super good, I want them to taste and smell good + a good effect. I am really satisfied with the outcome, who couldn't be? The smell is kind of earthy and pine, a classic normal european weed smell I guess, not in a bad way but nothing to special, sometimes you just want your usual right? I could have lollipoped more to have bigger top kolas but you never stop learning :) I was kind of afraid to cut to much, but I don't mind smaller airy buds, put it trough the grinder and I bet nobody knows 🙀 My light was dimmed to "75%" measured 208W ~44 DLI for the most part of flower, did some 100% once in a while for a couple of hours. Had to defoliate ALOT like really ALOT almost every single day from mid veg up until mid/late flower that's why I rated it hard to grow, the rest went really easy. The fertilizer ratios I used are meant as RATIOS not exact 1ml etc. when it says 1ml A 1ml B it just means 50/50 until stated EC. I mix my dry salts 1kg/4l water to create a stock solution. I really hope the dry weight will be good, might hit the #1 spot for the RQS Auto Northern Light? One can dream huh :D Leave some comments, ask many questions!

Started training as the growth was too central and she needs some fattening at the base.

Неделя прошла отлично! Дал первый компот на цветение! Были пожелтело некоторые нижние и старые листья, но компот похоже хороший и все по ходит в норму) Ещё немного делал лст, следущий наверно буду делать когда они ещё подрастут! Продолжаю бороться с жарой. Следующую неделю надеюсь дневник буду вести лучше)

The moisture in the soil after the first 3 days of transplant was wetter than I anticipated. I've been using a '3 gallon' flowering pot - separated evenly for all 10 of my clones - Gnats and flies have been coming so this I believed to be an indication that my soil is too wet I believe. The next following three weeks I am going to be doing about '1 1/2 gallons' per ALL 10 plants - seperated evenly. These last couple days i've been letting the plants soak up all the available moisture... Hoping maybe my overwatering will be affected in a positive way in regards to the new root formations. My PH coming out of my tap hose is around 7.8 - this is something i'd like to keep constant for this season if I can. I'm not seeing any sign of stress, discoloration, or anything yet. I understand ideally it would be smarter to lower it a couple numbers, however it makes it easier to not have to get a PH down and mix into my watering solution - DO YOU THINK THIS HIGH PH WILL AFFECT MY YIELD AND PLANTS LIFE EVENTUALLY ?!?! The plants are all looking healthy so far I think, let me know what you think cannabis fam!! Air quality very poor and smokey in California this week- 7/6/21

I had to go out of town twice for 5 days for a business trip. Minor errors occurred at that time. It's an easy genre overall. You should not be afraid of fertilizing too much. I'll be back with comments on taste, dry weight and feel. By the way, I'm waiting for your dry weight estimates, I think it will be between 145-165 grams.

Still doing foliar: Cal-Mag Terra Aquatica, Pro Bloom, and silicate from T.A. some plants are removed because of root root. naw left with 19/24 plants. I also use a mobile app to set the light intensity, and I burned the leaves later. Which gave me the knowledge that the application is not very accurate.

#13.9.2021 - Feed is only water and slowly reducing pH down to 5.8 with GHE’s pH down. Trying to get most shades out from the foliage #17.9.2021 - Pheno#1 went for the 48h sleep before the harvest #18.9.2021 - Stem splitted Pheno#3 as well. We’ll see how it affects for last 5 days. Pheno#1 will be harvested tonight after 48hrs darkness.

July 12: looking good. Starting force flowering which is 12 h of darkness at same time each night for 2-3 weeks to initiate flowering. Doing ten hours of darkness (9:30 pm to 7:30 am) plus a ‘bonus’ two hours by using the far red light for a few seconds before dark which causes the plant to go into dark mode about two hours faster. So, it’s like having a 26 h day with 12 h of dark. This is a great trick if you have daily access to your plants. July 15: doing fine. July 18: Mimosa Shot has finally caught up in height to the other plant in the wagon (Sunday Punch EV).
