Hey everyone, I think a few more days. At least I put the fertilizer down and keep an eye on everything with a magnifying glass. It definitely smells and sticks like hell.

First feeding on day 8. I will be watering with nutes and plain PH's tap water every other watering as required by the dryness of the soilless mix. Watering until about 10% runoff each time. Current lighting: mix of LED & CFL- total wattage 71 watts.

July 26: Mimosa Shot has mostly caught up to the other plant in the wagon and they are now the same height. Did a fourth lazy compost tea. See video explaining how I make it using things like blackstrap molasses and Epsom salts both of which are cheap and easy to find at the grocery store. July 29: nice and sunny today. Plants look great. July 31: defoliated inner fan leaves and small lower buds. This ‘lollipopping’ saves the plant from wasting effort on small buds that aren’t going to amount to anything. Also improves air flow and maximizes sunlight on the remaining buds. Added a round of Gaia Green seaweed extract when watering (label says once every two weeks). Aug 1: Plant is showing red petioles and there is a blue-ish tint to the leaves both of which are signs of P deficiency. Added another round of 50/50 malted barley and Power Bloom as top dressing.

Its week 5 and you know what? We have some smell to enjoy! This week, the stretch finally finished completely. The plants stoped growing and are focussing their power and nutrients into bud producion from now on. Thats a very important moment in flower. My Hy-Pro nutrition plan tells me, to start giving Hy-Pro Epic Bloom in this critical development phase. This will give the ladies exactly what they need, to grow some big, tasty flower. I had to do another major under canopy cut on the Jack Herer. Took out another 15cm of buds over the net, since they would just suck up energy and never come close to the grade of quality I am looking for. I just was not ready for the growth, Hy-Pro made possible in my tent. Never experienced such explosive growth, just watched it happen for other guys on YouTube and social media. For my next grow, i will definitely have to beef up my tent. I can tell there is really some smell coming out of the tent by now. Its always a joy, to open it. Development is making me very happy. They grew strong, thick stems in vegi, those branches will be able to hold alot of weight in buds. From now on, i feed them the following: Hy-Pro Terra: 4,5ml/l (component nutrients) Hy-Pro Generator: 0.16ml/l Hy-Pro Cal-mag: 4ml/l Hy-Pro Epic Bloom: 0,5ml/l EC: 1,8 VPD: 1,40 PPFD: 930 µmol/m²/s I would really love, to see some colouration on the Mimosa and the Blueberry. Lets see, i might give them some colder air in two weeks or so, to trigger some colouration. Stay tuned! Grow strong, Friends! 👽

This will be one of the last uploads before harvest. And even then I plan on taking photos of the harvest so I can really show how big this thing is. The root ball must be massive I've had roots dying and growing constantly through the fabric pot for a month+ now. It's smelly as fuck and resinous as hell. My third plant....third times a charm lol. The first two fuck ups, third one a masterpiece to me anyways. And time still yet to tell with curing I may fuck it up again but I'm going to do my best to do everything right this time 100%. I gave purpinator for along time basically since week 4 or 5 and it never really turned until the end a light shade of red on most of the branches. I might let go another week so it sucks all the fan leaves dry if that's ok. My last update came a day late. This one came a day early since I consider my first actual veg day to be on a sunday

. End of Week 6: She's really stretching at an alarming rate, but at the same time incredibly sturdy shoots that aren't bending anytime soon. Given that she's not even showing pom-poms yet, I wonder just how tall she'll get before I need to do some super-cropping. I've only got another 1.5-2 feet left to play around with before she's chewing on the light. We'll see 😬 A few days after topping her last week I had to remove one of the shoots as it had fused with the leaf, leaving the other shoot to continue by itself. Regardless, the rest of the shoots are all even in height and forming a nice even canopy. Not every day you see that. There's also a 12-finger leaf near the top of one of the shoots, which is cool to see. It's not the result of any leaves fusing together, just an extra 3 fingers. 💪 I snipped it off to get a shot of it with my phone, as it was in an awkward spot.

What is up you sexy displays of humanness? It's week something lol.. 9 I think. I always forget if a week is passed then counted or vice versa lol. The plants look waaaaay better from the first time I flowered. I think the environmental controls like the AC and the light distance are finally all getting locked in. I could be messing up nutrients but based on what I see I'm not burning or underfeeding to my knowledge. I'm praying for that last fattening week for these things to bulk up because I'm pretty sure they have maybeeeeee 2 weeks then a 3-day flush. Yall are the experts though so feel free to weigh in. Especially with the plants looking all over the place. Ill bust out the electronic microscope for some trichome pics next week closer towards harvest time. I keep reading it's a long flower and they still have a lot of white pistons. Plants are hella icier though compared to the first run, they look stickier, and overall I'm feeling more accomplished. I can't tell if I'm leagues away from pulling 1 lb per plant. Now the right light...... ugh.. idk why but I was trying to get my damn BN link dual timer programmed bc I have the closet in there still vegging and once I plugged everything in that right light had half the board go out again. This happened a while back and after I've checked all the connections it just randomly came back on one day and I have not questioned it over the months. Kinda pissed I cant have 1 smooth day but that's life I guess haha. oh weird question but my rooms are completely sealed. they don't really have ducting or new air pumping in. Could the plants be suffocating themselves getting that big and flowering in a closed room? I've heard the air you breathe is more than enough most time and I don't want to burn unnecessary money but If they are logically just not getting enough Co2 to transpire then.. ya.. you get my point lol. Oh and I scratched the pk 13/14 bc i felt like I was pushing my luck with it only recommended for 1 week and also it's about the end of my knowledge so I figured cutting something extra was the safe bet. the leaves are all dark too

This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill soulution is @ 18c Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC. I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, I’ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH. Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washing… Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters. The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants. Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye.

Today marks week 9 of the red poison auto flower. I started the flushing process this week. The Trichomes were starting to get milkiy on week 8 so I decided to flush the plant since I am looking for 65 to 80 % of milkiy for my final product. I am going to flush for 2 week for the best results (in my opinion) since the medium I am using is soil. Instead of feeding her nutrients on October 16 2019 I just gave her the 1.5 gallons of PH(FOR SOIL 6 - 6.8) water with molasses.. I checked the run off water and the PH was 6.8 and my PPM was high at 1336. So on October 19 2019 I did a extreme flush of my auto in a 7 gallon soil pot. (I have tried flushing with certain agents in the past but from my experience and opinion I feel that flushing with just PH water works fine.) Well I flushed the plant down from 1336 to 336. I would have preferred a PPM level below 200 but the water I am using has a PPM level of 270. I actually ended up using 18 gallons of PH water to flush the plant in order to bring the PPM down from 1336 to 336. The PPM kept kept going down and then back up again after every flush so I had to keep adding gallons of water in order to make sure that at least half of the nutrients were washed from the soil. From this point on I will no longer feed her nutrients. I will just give her the regular amount of PH water I've always given her except the only difference is that I will no longer add nutrients to the water. The only thing I will add is molasses in the PH water in her regular feeding schedule. I am hoping to harvest around the 26 of October.

HI community ! 8 week color goes well. With the help of a variety of fungicides, I try to slow down the growth of plants to light. By nutrition, all excellent plants drink 4 liters of solution all the time.
