7/6 Plants looked great thos morning. I WATERED A GALLON to the 50 and split one between the two tens. Top of the bags are still moist amd they still have some heft. I'm hoping this will at least carry me 48hrs. These are BIG plants and the wind goes right through those bags and dries them out. I'd rather have that though than worry about overwatering. I noticed some minor deficiencies on a couple plants so it's time to start the nutes. Calcium I'd guess. Just a beginning stage but it's time. Next feeding they'll get some food too. I'll still monitor during the day to make sure they ront dry out. It's amazing how fast they come back after they dry out but it stresses them. EDIT: I WENT OVER AROUND 2OM AND IT WAS OVERCAST AND 83°. ALL THE PLANTS LOOKED GREAT AND ALL OF THEM WERE STILL SLIGHTLY NOIST EXCEPT THE 10TH PLANET. THEY ALL HAD SOME HEFT TO THEM TOO. THE SUN IS OUT BRIGHTER NOW BUT IT MAY RAIN TONIGHT AND CONSIDERING HOW GOOD THE PLANTS LOOKED I THINK IVE FOUND MY CORRECT WATERING RATIO. IM NOT GOIMG TO 9VET WATER IN THESE GROW BAGS WITH ALL THIS WIND. I NOTICED SOME FOUR LINED PLANT BUG MARKS ON ONE OF THE LITTLE PLANTS AND REMOVED A FEW LEAVES FROM THAT THIRSTY 10TH PLANET THAT COULD BE SEPTORIA. IM GOING TO TREAT IT BUT I HAVENT DECIDED WITH WHAT YET. I MEAN I NEED TO MAKE SURE ITS NOT JUST PESTS OR WATER SPLASHES FIRST TOO. I'VE BEEN PRETTY SANITARY THIS YEAR. IF I HAD A PLANT THAT DIDNT RESPOND TO TREATMENT AND IT WAS INDEED LEAF SEPTORIA I THINK ID RATHER SACRIFICE THE PLANT THAN RISK SPREADING IT. IM PROBABLY JUMPING THE GUN BUT I NEED TO BE READY IN CASE THAT'S THE CASE. IF NOT FOR LOCAL LAWS I WOULD THE PLANT ISOLATED. BUT IM TALKING I PULLED MAYBE FOUR LEAVES OUT OF THE LEAFIEST BUNCH AND INSPECTED EVERYTHING. 7/7 We got thunder storms last in the afternoon and last night. For at least 45 mins it rained harder than I've EVER seen it. Pure sheet rain. It turned over to heavy rain before moving out. The plan was to water everything this morning and start feeding. As I said in the video the soul was still moist amd the bags still had some heft. Not like I just watered them though. I stopped by a local dispo on my way home and talked with the best grower I personally know (thanks Junior) and his advice was the same as what I was planning. I planned on going around noon to check them. He said I could probably wait until like six and then when I do water give them like a 1 1/2 gallons to make up for that monsoon we had earlier. I showed him the video and explained how I have been watering. My intuition feels good about this. I may go check on them earlier but I don't think it's necessary. As usual I'll update as I go. EDIT: AS SUGGESTED (WELL I SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE) I WENT OVER TO FIND ALL NY PLANTS LOOKING GORGEOUS EXCEPT THE 10TH PLANET REVEG THAT WAS A "LITTLE" SAGGY. I LIFTED THEM AND FELT THE SOIL IN THE BAGS. I DECIDED ON WATERING AS PLANNED EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT HAVE MADE IT UNTIL NORNING. THIS WAS MY WATERING DAY ANYWAY. HOWEVER I ONLY WATERED 1 GAL PER 20 1.5 FOR 30 AND .5 FOR 10. I THINK THAT WILL WORK OUT GREAT WITH THE UPCOMING COOLER TEMPS. IT WAS SO HOT. DIDNT HAVE TIME BUT SHIT IS LOOKING GOOD. 7/8 Finally that hot streak has broken. It's in the 70s and it rained a little last night. Had to use an iPhone and send it to me because my phone was dead. My plan worked out great and everything is looking fantastic. We may get some rain tonight but I'll be watching the forecast. I DO need to feed and may do that. I might wait until next week. I also need to figure out what to do about that four lined plant bug. The birds that perch on my cage do a good job getting pests. Knock on wood I haven't seen many. I killed one pillar and there's just that four lined plant bug. That's really the only damage. I'd Hate to spray my girls with a bunch of shit over ONE bug. We shall see and I'll keep this updated. 7/9 Phone was dead this morning. Went back over later and defoliated a little bit. On reveg ive found a few spots that look like it could be septoria. Could be splash up or a million other things too. The birds have been taking care of pillars. I've found two this season which were promptly killed. Everything looked good. We are in much cooler weather now. Still high 70s with at least 90%rh. Could have showers but I need to keep up with my watering. I kept with the increase and watered everything with 2 gallons. With the exception of the 50 and the two 10's the 50 I skipped and each 10 got 1 gallon. Now it's time for a shout out. I get my seeds from North atlantic seed company. They have a sister company @dirtybirdgenetics which produces amazing strains that flourish in Maine. N.A.S.C has always used me good but this will be my first dirty bird grow next year. None of this was necessary but it's greatly appreciated. The hand written note put a huge smile on my face. 7/10 Rained last night. Phone won't charge so I used an iPhone and uploaded some pictures and a video. Plants are looking good but I've noticed "a" leaf with pillar markings. It's time to start feeding. I'm not sure if I'll start tonight or next watering. I'm not really sure. Any deficiencies are minor. I need to check my supply and see what I'm going to use. I'm suprised I haven't seen any wpm (knock on wood) with rh so high and "rolling mists". Happy 7/10 to those that indulge in oil. 7/11 Hurried morning. Watered this morning. I watered the ones that drink more with two gallons and a couple that were heavier got 1.5 gallons and the 10's got about a gallon apiece. I also fed for the first time this year. Plants are still in that transition stage and are starting to stretch. I still have nutes left on hand. I used I tsp grow big, .5 tsp cal mag and 2 tsp big bloom (per gallon) just to see how they react. I mixed two gallons and gave everything a little less than a powerade bottle I think is 1.75 pints. I can tell that some of the leaves aren't as lush green as they were. It's time to start feeding. Probably past time. Next year I'll probably go organic all the way bit this year I'm just going to be doing the same thing I have in years past. If it's not broke don't fix it. I have liquid kool bloom and some other nutes for later on in flowering. I'll be looking at nutes today but I'll probably stick with what I've been using. I also am considering plant doctor for the 10th planet that LOOKS like it may have a small case of septoria and I'm not even sure. It looks like splash back to me but we'll see. No wpm so far though. The birds are really doing great with pest control. I'll still be using BT a little bit later on. 7/12 Plants looked great this morning. I decided that if I treat its going to be with plant doctor. Most plants have hairs so I'm reluctant to use copper. I'm reluctant in general. But the plant that seems to expose a leave or two is a reveg and will be the first one thatci treat. I also went to get nutes and found my grow store turned into a "feed" store. I bought some fresh big bloom as that's all that was available. Then after purchase the cashier explained they still HAD the NUMERIOUS shelves of nutes (pretty much everything) but it took up to much room and was "spilling" the legit are wasting store space on packaged seeds opposed to the high end nutes they are known for. Whatever. I'm doing what my buddy said and to do what I do every year. If its not broke don't fix it. I'm think9ng of treating with plant doctor tomm. Or next watering. EDIT: ONE MORE VIDEO. WENT OVER AROUND FOUR AND PLANTS ALL LOOK HAPPY. THEY LIKED THE NUTES BUT I ASSUME I'LL HAVE TO UP THE REGINEN. SEEING HOW THE WEATHER IS COOLER ILL PROBABLY WATER EVERYTHING A LITTLE LESS. ILL TREAT THE INFECTED 10TH PLANET WITH PLANT DOCTOR AFTER I WATER. PLANTS ARE IN THAT ASPARGUS STAGE AND QRE EXPERIENCING SOME STRETCHING. I'VE DEALT WITH SEPTORIA A FEW TIMES. IF I WAS ABLE TO ID ISOLATE THE PLANT. I GO MYLTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND MAKE SURE THETE IS NO INFECTED GROWTH. LUCKILY (OR POSSIBLY UNLUCKILY AS IT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO ITS INFECTION) ITS A REVEG SO IT HAS LITERALLY TONS OF FOLIAGE. INSTEAD OF PRUNING IVE JUST REMOVED THE LEAVES THAT A SORE LANDED ON. I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THESE GIRLS FLOWER.

Great week! Explosive growth was the theme, and over the past 3 days they've gained 4 inches. I was inspired by a few growers on here to do more lst this round, we will see if it pays off or not. Finicky is still doing very well, I would say she's outpacing the other plant at this point. Started my bloom nutrients, and began to wean them off the veg nutes. There are plenty of nodes for buds, but a lot of them haven't shot up yet like some of the main stalks. The right plant was looking a little droopy this morning, realized they were probably an inch too close to the light. Hoping to get another week of stretch out of them, but I could see them shifting into bud production mode soon. Excited to see what's coming up over the next few weeks, stay tuned ladies and gentlemen!

Blue dream keep the buds growing is a big plant compared to the purple lemonade which is doing good also seems like she’s a week behind the blue dream … also idk if the light too close to the plant but some yellowing on the blue dream I think is more like zinc deficiency…..

Fullgas , take place and enjoy the ride. She has grown wide with strong and heavy branches, buds also exploded. This strain is my personal favorite of this grow, love the added note from Sherbert OG to one of my favorite Cheese strains. Behind the big Lemon Orange she growed undisturbed, as a Cheese Lover i expected much and are more then satisfied. The taste is typical Cheese but more creamy with a gassy note, huge buds full of resin. High is uplifting , with a strong body, it really gets u and take u on a ride. I want to remeber Franco Loja with this Fullgas grow especially, he was part of Greenhouse family and this strain is a hommage to him. Franco Loja Foundation and strains that support his family are available at Greenhouse Seeds. I thank Arjan and all Greenhouse employees, especially Georgia from CS , for this wonderful plant.

This Canadian Turkey Day we are thankful for the ability to grow 🔥 at home with access to great products! We are also thankful to GrowDiaries for this invaluable diary function and for the community of helpful gardeners. We are 11 weeks to solstice so this will be the last grow to bring some sunshine into the new year. I grew these strains outside and now we are trying to bring them inside. Our friendship plant has outgrown her pot and ‘pot head’ is ready for a new hairstyle. She’d make an adorable mother with a clone from this grow! Then set up a terrarium for her and train her real pretty. Oct 9: dropped seed in shot glass of water Oct 10: paper towel on plate with seed mat Oct 11: root emerging, paper got a little dry, spritz spritz and fingers crossed Oct 12: roots look good, planted in 2oz cup of organic potting mix that I figured would be fine for the first week, placed under humidity dome, in the terrarium. I instantly hate the potting mix. It’s dusty and heavy. Shit. Big mistake. Oct 14: We have a seedling! Oct 16: She hasn’t grown! And the other is pushing up but still wearing her coat. Oct 17: Our seedlings are not taking off and I’m really annoyed at the substrate I used already, it’s so compact. I’m still waiting on the grow bags that I ordered, arriving tomorrow.. I’m not happy yet with any of the potting mixes I’ve been testing and this is the worst one yet. It’s crucial I figure out a mix I can manage because I’m a chronic overwaterer and I want to give my roots a fighting chance. We are upgrading this grow with a pro-mix cx grow bag and praying it’s a keeper after all these fails. If I like it then I can easily pick up a bail. I know they use these commercially here. But she’s already stunted? Will she make it? 🤨 should I just start over? Spritz spritz. Seed hat is just sitting above the soil also not moving. While I wait for my substrate, I used up all that organic potting soil that I now hate to refresh the friendship plant and for propagating her cuttings. Anything would be better than the 500ml of dried out stuff she had left from 3 years ago! She deserves better but this is exactly the type of crap she thrives on. I’m grateful that she keeps coming back for me and I’m grateful for all the baby plants she lets me share ❤️ and I’m grateful I’ve been buying small bags of substrates thus far. Started 1 original lemon pie seed as a back up since this germination round appears to be a bust. Oct 18: so the girl I had all my hopes pinned on died, spritzed her with water and she lay down. The soil is like wet cement, my fault but an expensive mistake. Lost 10 seeds plus a bunch of other herbs I was starting 😭 Still waiting on delivery of my good soil. Update: pro-mix cx bags arrived and I rehydrated one with about 3 litres of calmag enriched water. There’s about 500ml overflow that I’m recirculating to make sure we are truly hydrated over the next 24 hours while I wait for a new tribute to come forth.. I wasn’t going to bother but decided to transfer the little seedling that was wearing a hat into a pinch of the cx and she seemed to perk up almost immediately once out of that other crap. Wishful thinking? We will know soon. 2 hours later and she’s definitely growing! We have an OG survivor for this grow and can proceed. We are very GRATEFUL

Week 3 of flower has brought some frost along with it. It has also seen the stretching slow right down so she should really go into bud production mode now. I top dressed with some of my high N amendment mix and my flower mix at a 50/50 ratio as she was looking a little pale so I figured a little more N was needed to keep her happy. Plus the flowering mix to side in bud production. I have upped waterings to 17-20 gallons every 2-3 days and she seems to be enjoying a little extra water. I have been spraying her with OMRI fungicides and I haven’t seen any powdery mildew this week 😎 Onward! 😎🍿🍻🌱

Growing: 5 weeks Flowering: 9 weeks This was my first grow indoor from some time ago. First time using the Mars Hydro SP250. Was amazed at the result, did not expect it. Encountered a few problems, including Calmag deficiency and some bugs. Did not gave them water for 30 days after plantation to the big bags of 25L. Harvested all plants at the same time, which might have been too early for a few ladies. Nevertheless I enjoyed getting to know the lamp and hoping I will do better next round. The lamp was in this round not at max capacity but at 226w, it came like that out of the box and I did not adjust it. Also did zero defoliation which resulted in a lot of "Albino Tops" under the net, which I recovered to make butter and bubble hash from. Most of the buds above the net where really dense and not fluffy at all. End result: 320gr total, around 4x 70gr average from the 2x BB OG, 1x A.M.S. and 1x Jack, the Purple Bud gave around 40grams. Thanks for checking out my grow! Good luck growing!

Harvest time! 112 days from seed, 70 days from switching the light to 12-12. This is the last update before the harvest. I saw the first amber trichome earlier this week. I've flushed for the last couple days. I'm going to take her down right after I finish this post. I wait to see a little amber to harvest but I don't want too much amber as that means the stone will be more couch lock and less psychoactive. She continues to smell great but not strong. She is looks frosty, delicious and done to me.

First week of flower started with a bit downs :/ leaves were hanging and I didn’t know why but some guys helped me here ❤️ changed the watering habit now. Started watering with feeding when pots were dry/light and watered until I got 5-10% runoff - next watering when pots are dry/light
