I sowed cantaloupe bag seeds directly to flower box drip irrigation.I transplanted my white widow seedling to flower box. So the new line up this run is cantaloupe, blueberry, Girl Scout cookies and white widow. Cantaloupe seeds sprouted and i will keep the most vigorous grower.bb is throwing pistils.GSC is producing first set of true leaves. At the end of week 2 cantaloupe has first leaves so does white widow. My Gsc has first set of true leaves and my blueberry is putting out pistils and trichs.Things are going well

16.4.25: I have retied the fabric ties again, as they're growing like crazy. Trying to open up the plant, to grow out as well as up. This will also create new colas. At this stage, I'm trying not to over fertilise like I did with the last grow. Focusing on Cal-Mag amino acids and Mega Crop Part A. The medium is my custom super soil, which is already fertilised with Ecothrive dry amendments. So I could just add water. However, as we've already run into deficiency, that would be careless. I find it easy to keep an eye on the plants and carefully inspect them daily to act quickly when issues arise. Learning how to determine the issue is what I'm still learning, which is the hard part 😅 It's all fun though, and I'm really enjoying this grow with all the toppings and FIMs. So far so good! 23.4.25: I hope everyone had a great 420! Fastbuds Mystery seed #1 is doing well, she has stayed bushier relative to the RQS Northern Lights, also there has not been so much growth. The bud sites are developing well and have tight internodal spacing. I'm determining when to relax the LST as we are now in the beginning of week 3 flower. I do have height. However, I'd like to keep it reasonable. You never know when they will stop growing. I'm not really adjusting any ties since the last time. I have also noticed that there are signs of Nitrogen excess. Instead of Mega Crop Part A and Cal-Mag amino acids, I will use Bud explosion PK booster with the Cal-Mag. This will make the N5 the only Nitrogen being given. It still may be too much, but will monitor closely to see the effect this change will make, if any. Balancing the nutrients is very important for me to learn, and it's going to be an ongoing process. I watered today with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients: ♡ 1/2 Tsp of Bud Explosion PK booster by Greenleaf nutrients ♡ 5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients 23.4.25: Plant seemed to be drinking heavily, so I watered again with 3 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with;- ♡ 2.5ml Cal-Mag amino acids by Xpert Nutrients, and ♡ Ecothrive Biosys 1/8 tsp. I removed the plant ties and retied the plant after watering. Less ties are necessary as the plant has moulded and stayed in that structure. Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out 😃💚✌️🍃😊

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 😉

Update: All plants are progressing well. I've been updating my diary for the two additional strains I started with. Despite some early mix-ups, two are now flourishing and ready for transplanting. I’ve buried the seedlings up to their first true leaves and will soon introduce root juice to assist with the transplant process. Cinderella Jack is heading for a 25-gallon pot, given its robust early growth and a longer growth cycle of up to 14-15 weeks. On the other hand, Auto Euforia and Critical Orange are showing slower development. Euforia is stubbornly pushing through with new growth despite a challenging start. To sum up, I'm managing six plants from four different strains: one Cinderella, one Skywalker, and a mix of Critical and Euforia. I’m confident I've identified at least one of each. Four plants are on target for a decent yield in their 3-7 gallon pots, while the other two will serve as trial plants. I expect the arrival of new nutrients by next week, but for Cinderella and Skywalker, I will continue their current feeding schedule for an extra week since they're slightly ahead of the rest in growth and still will be in 2nd week by week 3 mid. IDK how helpful is 127 LED E27 bulb but something is better than nothing. Will be shifting to indoor after fall so saving for a pretty decent setup now. More updates to come. Any tips or suggestions for a first-time grow in a greenhouse setup would be appreciated!

I stressed this lady out early accidentally , she bounced back as best as I permitted room for . She bared with me all the way until the end throughout this entire learning cycle . I’m deeply appreciative for the ease of grow & level of bounce back she had . It was the most impressive grow but it didn’t require rocket science to grow this either

The sour stomper appears to like her new lighting. She gets a little fatter everyday and I have now begun a flushing cycle. Going to let this girl grow as long she wants. I want to see those hairs recede.

Día 88 y penúltimo antes del corte. Ya se aplicó Flawless Finish para un acabado impecable como su nombre lo indica. Siempre prefiero hacer el lavado de raiz solo aplicando agua en las últimas 2 semanas, pero esta vez lo hice aplicando el finalizador y luego los últimos riegos con agua purificada. La verdad es que estoy contento con los resultados de esta nena, que es hermosa por cierto, desprende olores ácidos, cítricos, dulces. Los colores son hermosos y las flores están rebosantes de tricomas, lo que la vuelve muy vistosa. Es todo por ahora, estaré manteniendoles informados en estos últimos días. Buenos humos! 👽

Day 44 - March 25, 2021 Started noticing a couple gnats in our house. It's been warm outside and they are starting to come out. Unfortunately saw some in the room as well and can only assume there are many more feeding on the ladies. Gave foliar spray using Bee Safe Organicide. Gave all the girls a thorough haircut today and worked on trying to get canopy under control. Vegatation was very thick. Doesn't look like deficency issue with F7 is spreading. Continuing to watch for any changes indicating the problem is still ongoing. Gave foliar spray (1:00AM): * Bee Safe Organicide Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 10:45PM * 2.21 EC * 5.9 PH * 73.94F (with ambient temps being higher, res temp is higher as well) * ~13-gallons remaining before topping off * Added ~5-gallons (solution mixed 3/24) (11:00PM) * 2.16 EC (after topping off) * 5.9 pH (after topping off) * 73.40F (after topping off) * ~18-gallons remaining (after topping off) Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) ** 1:00AM-4:00AM (Reduced light intensity to 50% for foliar spray) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars Off 24-hours Air control: 69F-82F (80F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 50%-65% (56% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-70% RH (Lights Off) ~1181PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~690PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 45 - March 26, 2021 Didn't do much in the garden today. Tucked a couple branches under trellis netting and that's pretty much it. Hoping will have the trellis on each cage filled out by next weekend. Nutrient deficiency with F7 seems to be resolved. New growth not showing any issues. Found a dead gnat on a leaf. Bee Safe foliar spray seems to have done the trick. Continuing to keep close eye out for pests. Mixed of nutrient solution (11:00PM): ** 50-gallons RO water (0.06 EC) ** 10ML h2o2 per gallon ** 5ML Botanicare Cal-mag+ per gallon (0.54 EC after Cal-Mag) ** 0.5ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize per gallon ** 10ML Mills Nutrients Basis A & B per gallon ** 4ML Mills Nutrients Start-R per gallon ** 1.25ML pHup per gallon (bring PH from ~5.1 to 5.8) ** ~2.02 EC ** 5.8/5.9 pH Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 11:30PM * 2.16 EC * 5.8/5.9 PH * 73.94F (with ambient temps being higher, res temp is higher as well) * ~10-gallons remaining * Didn't top off today Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-82F (81F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 50%-65% (60% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-70% RH (Lights Off) ~1268PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~620PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 46 - March 27, 2021 Did some more pruning to remove thick foliage and open up nodes. Continuing to tuck branches through trellis. Expect will be ready to go into flower in apprxomately a week. CO2 tank ran out and co2 levels dropped to 330PPM for the first couple of hours of lights on. Replaced tank at 10AM. Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * topped off with ~18-gallons * tested 9:30PM * 2.06 EC * 5.9 PH * 73.94F (with ambient temps being higher, res temp is higher as well) * ~20-gallons remaining Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-82F (80F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 55%-70% (64% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-70% RH (Lights Off) ~1397PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~330PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 47 - March 28, 2021 Didn't do much in the garden today. Deficiency issue on new growth is continuing to newest nodes on F7 and is starting to show in F6, F2, and F3 as well. Also noticed a few leaves with small tip of nutrient burn. Flushed F2, F3, F6, and F7 until runoff EC was equal to input. F1,F4, F5, and F8 look good but will flush those tomorrow as well just in case. Flushed with: * RO Water (starting EC 0.05) * 0.5ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize per gallon * 5ML Cal-Mag+ per gallon * pH 5.8 * EC 0.53 Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 8:30PM * 2.06 EC * 5.9 PH * 74.48F * ~13-gallons remaining Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-82F (79F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 55%-70% (65% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-70% RH (Lights Off) ~1312PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~1292PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 48 - March 29, 2021 Flushed F1, F4, F5, and F8 until runoff EC was equal to input.

Gave Foliar Spray Foliar Spray: * 1 Gallon RO Water (EC 0.08) * 10ML CalMag+ per Gallon * 0.5ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize per gallon * PH 6.0 * EC 1.19 Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 7:00PM-7:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 8:00PM * 2.05 EC * 5.9 PH * 73.76F * Topped off to approximately 20-gallons Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 20-hours (8:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 8:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 4-hours (4:00AM - 8:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-82F (76F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 55%-70% (70% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-75% RH (Lights Off) ~1288PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~793PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 50 - March 31, 2021 Deficiency Issues: Still having issues with what looks like Zinc deficiency. Also found 4 of 5 fan leaves with Calcium deficiency over the last couple of days. Runoff is PH 5.8 and EC is 0.78. EC in runoff has been very low. I'm pretty confident it's not a PH issue at this point. Seems plants are rapidily soaking up the nutrients in the water. I also found 8 or 9 fan leaves with slight nutrient burn a few days ago. Nutrient burn seems to have tapered off and haven't noticed any spreading. Going to try adding an additional watering to the schedule to see what happens. I'm hesitant to mix stronger nutrients due to nutrient burn I started to see earlier this week. At the same time, need to figure out the cause of the nutrient deficiencies. I'm currently using the Light Feeding Schedule from Mills Nutrients (says "light", but is still 2.06 EC including 0.54 EC for water + CalMag) Need to switch to flower soon but need to figure out deficiency issues before the switch. Defoliation: * Removed quite a bit of fan leaves suffocating nodes. Girls are 10lbs lighter. Despite the nutrient issues, the girls have been filling out fast. Did a timelapse over the past couple days and can see significant growth in a short period. Gave Foliar Spray Foliar Spray: * 1 Gallon RO Water (EC 0.08) * 10ML CalMag+ per Gallon * 0.5ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize per gallon * PH 6.0 * EC 1.19 Watering: 03:00AM-3:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 11:00AM-11:10AM ~0.33 gallons per pot 8:00PM-8:10PM ~0.33 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 11:30PM * 2.06 EC * 5.9 PH * 73.40F * Topped off to approximately 20-gallons Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 18-hours (10:00AM - 4:00AM) ** 10:00AM Lights On (100%) ** 11:00AM Reduced intensity to 50% for foliar spray ** 12:00PM Increase intensity to 75% ** 1:00PM Increased intensity to 100% * Gavita LEDs Off 6-hours (4:00AM - 10:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-82F (77F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 55%-70% (67% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-75% RH (Lights Off) ~1574PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~880PPM CO2 (Lights Off)

Starting a new grow Shout out and an a HUGE Thank you to HowWeedGrow and Selfie Seeds for sending me these seeds and making this possible. I'll try my best to make it a good grow. I dropped 2 of the 3 seeds I got in a glass of 6.4ph balanced purified water for 15hours and transferred to paper towel. Updates as they come. details of this crossbreed... https://selfieseeds.com/mother-strains/strain-cross-difference/sweet-slurry-x-sugar-cane-in-house-genetics Feminized Seeds Indica/Sativa 45/55 Hybrid Receiver (Mother): Sweet Slurry Indica/Sativa Hybrid Lineage: (Dosidos X Purple Punch) x (Platinum x Slurricane) Donor (Father): Sugar Cane Indica/Sativa Hybrid Lineage: Platinum x Slurricane - Indica Sativa Hybrid Reversed using STS on a clone of Strain 4 in the video below. Full reversal was documented in this journal. The receiver(mother) was grown in soil using the HWGrow Soil Feed Schedule and the donor(father) was fed the HWGrow Hydro Feed Schedule. Actual data collected from the grows contributed to the final numbers in our feed schedules. The complete harvest on the seeds were documented on my journal on discord which could guide you if you grow this cross. Goal of the Cross: The photo with the buds shows what the final buds harvested from both parents look like after drying and curing(Sweet Slurry on left, Sugar Cane on right). This cross will produce a combination of both of the parents. Sweet Slurry is actually a backcross of Slurricane and Sugar Cane so this would be a 2nd generation Backcross which has the potential to improve frost. It's a crap shoot, but you could get lucky and it could happen. This will ultimately stabilize this cross into a strain and you really cant go wrong with frosty x frosty. This cross is the reverse of SHUGA.

Fed compost tea on Wednesday without added Bio Pk. Plain water all following feedings. Did a light defoliation of some older fan leaves which has let more light in around the main stem. I have used soft ties to stake her into the ground, this helps to prevent her from poking back out of the substrate once I bury the stem. I have buried her up to the first node. I’m so far very happy with how she has been growing. She is very healthy looking currently.
