So the power went out due to city power failure 6 hrs into the light cycle for the day. That was fun. Buds have started to put on some size, so thats great! We were also in the longest deep freeze where I live in 50 years so the basement ( grow room) got really cold... especially during the power outage. Leaves are showing purple due to ( what I believe) cold temps. Maybe the outtage actually helped them because since then they really started packing it on. Very nervous about the possibility of herming because of what happened but i am keeping a close eys on things.

3/25/2023 Week 6- Day 1 of Veg (Day 52 overall) Added my first between changes SILICA Top offs. Was worried that when you add it to pre mixed Nutes that it can make the whole thing turn into a gummy looking substance. I was ready to drain the system and start it over for the week if needed, but no issues adding it to the tank. the Silica going into the Res didn't gummy the system up, it did drop my PH by quit a bit causing me to have to bring it back in balance. 36 Gallons in the Tank Silica Add .5mil/Gal = 18Mil I topped some that needed to be topped, I defoliated some that needs to be defoliated. Since I have moved into Week 6 I have increased the light intensity up to just over 500 maxing it out for Veg Cycle. Next increase will be Week 1 of Flower. 3/26/2023 Week 6- Day 2 of Veg (Day 53 overall) All conditions looked great. Other than me not putting one of the humidifiers back right which means it didn't work last night so Humidity was lower than I like. But got the Humidifier back on it's stand correctly and it is now pumping away. With that I decided to give the plants a day off from any stresses, no topping, no FIMing, no Defoliation for today. Just some good old soaking up the light rays and the ability to get all the Nutes they would like.. 3/27/2023 Week 6- Day 3 of Veg (Day 54 overall) Looking kind of Bushy today, so I defoliated some, and topped some. 3/28/2023 Week 6- Day 4 of Veg (Day 55 overall) PH was a little lower than I like 5.74 so I added a few Mil of PH UP and brought it back up to 5.94. Not much else at this stage, just I topped a little and I defoliated a little. 3/29/2023 Week 6- Day 5 of Veg (Day 56 overall) Topped a little, Defoliated a little Watched them grow!! 3/30/2023 Week 6- Day 6 of Veg (Day 57 Overall) Main action today was breaking down my old tent and setting up a new tent and getting my second RDWC system setup and ready for clones. I Topped a little, I Defoliated some and started taking a good look at what I would like to take for clones in the coming days. I have a few bottom branches that look every promising for my clone material on each. 3/31/2023 Week 6- Day 7 of Veg (Day 58 overall) #3 is at 16" Tall #2 is at 13" Tall

Läuft gut …

Krallarinaaaaaaa

Ke konci týdne dostali poslední lehkou defoliaci. Biobizz má sytě zelené barvy a viditelně o něco málo větší květy. Florganics chytil světlejší zeleno žlutý odstín a má o něco menší květy. Ale má o trochu víc pryskyřice. Pokračuji v zalévání čistou vodou

Hope to get some feedback about nutrition : After 1 plant developed a small brown tip, I started feeding. A total of 116.6 liters of water goes into my system. The feeding schedule says that you should give 4 ml of root juice per liter of water. So: 116.6 x 4 = 466 in total for week 1. So, 466/7 = 66.5 ml per day. Despite this, the differences in root growth per container seem very different. 1 bin was so far behind that I changed them. However, after 1 day a brown mass developed in the roots. The others are still nice and white. Is this already the bereft root rot? I've made some pictures and a video. The first plant in the video was first in the container of the third plant in the video. EC value = 0.6 PH = 6.6 Update 3-5 : After adding more air, problem solved. Need to keep an eye on plant #3. I've put sticks on top of the startblock. 1 stick is plant #1 etc. Plant 3 is behind the rest. Root development also differs from the rest. Instead of a long (about 50 cm) long carrot, they are a few short (10/15 cm). The plant is also significantly smaller than the rest. Can't do much now so, let's hope and see she can catch up.

😎🤪

Did first nutrient feeding w fox farms nutes. Very little. Things were going perfect then I woke up this am to slight curling again. I changed light distance and put in my other light as well so I’m now in need of ac unit or another fan bc it’s getting hotter, 85. Or I figure I could run my exhaust fan 24/7 and take it off my humidity switch but then I got to possibly get another humidifier bc the exhaust fan takes the humidity out of the room. Idk but the girls all in all are looking good to me. started lst on 6/30 using grow big and big bloom now

She was just lst'd a little he help bring her out and down. She gave me no problems once she snapped out of whatever she was going through foe the first few weeks. She has some good chunky buds and will have a good amount of trim and some popcorn buds that I left to make hash out of. A real pleasure to grow and can't wait to bring it back into the garden.

Cut down wet weight 721 g :)))))) Bottom half to do in a week or two:)))) will up date all in harvested week first weigh in 165 g :))))

This little girl started her journey on April 4th with germination into a water glass and finished up on June 27/20 – Day 78 from germination. She was a fun grow and was very resilient through the whole run. She spent most of her grow time in a 20/4 light schedule. She formed nice frost levels and stayed to a very nice and manageable height of roughly 20” tall without topping or bending her main stem. She was not as fussy about nutrient levels and took them well. She does like her medium on the dryer side though. Small little auto bush of OG Kush crossed with Indica genes😃 She would make a nice a plant to run while you are vegging out some photos for 6 or 8 weeks as she is not very big in size but will swell up and yield decent weight👍 She was grown in a 3 gallon fabric pot with coco coir and maybe 15% perlite. She was fed salt based nutrients……..so sorry but they are flushed out and that is what I am more comfortable with. Focus on the early growth with microbes, fungi and kelp!! She was fed the normal pattern with pH being held around the 5.4 to 5.8 range in feeding. Then as flower approached, I gave the pots a more consistent look at the runoff numbers and she was running 7.8pH coming out of her!!!!! WTF. She stayed in her pot that she was planted in and fought this issue all through the rest of her grow. The pH issues started surfacing around week 3….as we headed into flower of course. Scratching my head for weeks, I ultimately didn’t change anything other than really low pH feeding going in…….below 4 idea. For weeks she had 3.9 water going in and still getting 7.8 running off. I initially felt it was related to cheap fabric bags so I cut slits in the very bottom of the bags that stayed and tried transplanting other girls into plastic pots, which it can be fabric pot issues but I am not as convinced anymore for this run that there was an issue there, wasn’t sure about giving her Magnesium on top of Magnesium and therefore did I mess her up good on the inside early on in week 2 idea, out of options I changed back to RO water and that seems to have solved my issues……I was using tap water that was not filtered this run🤬 The pH was high so that was adjusted but with the ppm being at 185 to 200 range I chose not to buy a filter and just dechlorinated the water only. I was tired of lugging 5 gallon water bottles in and out of the basement😃 That is a difference from all other grows…..silly for not catching this by week 4! So…….back to lugging bottles in and out of the basement😂😂😂 She really started to take shape around weeks 7 and 8 and formed a beautiful little cannabis plant and grew to 20” tall and roughly 18” wide. Main focus with her was to just perform LST on side branches and let the top go…….I wanted to just let her go and see what would happen to her main cola for size and height……plus I don’t do that…….I always bend over the tops on my grows so this was a little different for myself. She grew very nice leaves and a lot of them. This pheno had a lot of leaves to her and that is fine……its not really my first choice in characteristics of a plant though..…..so much more work at trim time……Green Poison XL Auto, SWS71, was a dream to trim👍 as a comparison!! She didn’t fox tail very much she firmed up her buds towards the end. The resin production was a little slower coming out in her but by week 7/8 she was getting pretty impressive😋😋😋 White and sticky!! She smelt of woods with citrus notes…..works for me👌 There were no issues at all retaliated to pests or bugs……I threw in a couple sticky traps but there weren’t any to catch. She handled the high humidity in this run great and there were no signs of any powdery mildew👍👍👍 She is a very stable strain from Sweet Seeds! Day 63 was last feeding, flushed for almost two weeks. Rezin and Liquid Weight still given for one of the weeks but the last week was plane water. In hind-site I think I should have hit her with some Flawless Finish to help get that last bit out of her. She did feed on most of her nutrients but some of the lower leaves were still more green that I would have liked. She was cut down on day 77…..11 weeks is about what I suspect looking at her in week 7…….this was roughly 8 weeks flower time……makes sense😃 She grew for 75 days and then I decided what the heck…….she needs a hole in her stem to stress her out😃 I didn’t try breaking a branch but rather drilled a hold into the base of her stem……something new to try out. I think I will try more holes next time….max 3 I think……then I want to run a couple with cracking their stems and see if there is a difference👍 I feel more in control of a drill and its accuracy vs bending branches and they snap where they want to…….anyway it was worth a try!!!! Worst case, it made it easy to hang her as a whole plant to dry😃 This girl battled pH issues all her life and as a result the buds were not where I would have liked them. There were not fluffy…..but here were not as hard as I would like for rolling joints, so the whole girl went to concentrates She dried for 7 day as a whole plant, 2 days more in smaller branches, then 1 day curing in jars before dry ice sift. She yielded 74g of dry cured buds, 2.65 ounces. Not bad…..I don’t think her buds would have gotten a lot bigger but they certainly would have had more weight if they firmed up…..grower issue, not genetics. So…..lets make some rosin from this girl🤩 The yields on this and making her hash a perfect colour are not what this process is about…..let’s get that out of the way right away……this is about another way to enjoy and consume my cannabis for my own relaxation and medicinal needs. Taking pictures of rosin is always a challenge…..it is always dark in the pictures unless you are using a nice DSLR to let more light in. Rather than making bubble hash with water, I just used the bags to make a dry ice kief from the buds. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a block of dry ice and had to use these cubes…….don’t like these as much because there are too many surfaces beating your green plant material and your kief goes green before long when shaking. Could have done it with out ice all together…..nicer hash but lots left on the plant afterwards that way so yield is low. Used two bags in this extraction, the 220 as the bag for edibles and the 120 as the bag for pressing rosin to smoke…..dry ice hash rosin!! The yield on this from the 74g of bud was 22.4g kief. 220 bag was 12.6g and the 120 bag was 9.8g. Not great I guess but I didn’t want to keep going for 4 and 5 minutes with the bags…..these were roughly 2 minutes with the 220 being 3 minutes on the high side. You can certainly see that the 120 product is more golden in colour than the 220 but since I didn’t crazy, the 220 is still a very nice colour. Last step on this journey was then to take the kief and make our rosin. I pressed product using 37um bags with the temp set at 160 degrees. All were done the same for the most part……roughly 4 gram presses, the same temperature, and the time. The first presses were 90 to 120 seconds. If a second press was done on the pouch, then it was at the same temp but for only 40 to 50 seconds. The yield on this was just shy of 7 grams…….6.77g…..roughly 30% yield from Kief???,…..roughly 9.2% from flower???…….would have likely done better right from flower😂 😂 😂 it was fun, regardless of the yield😃 Tasty rosin!!!! Can’t beat rosin for getting the true tastes of the plants. These numbers are absolutely due to my abilities with extraction.......sure don’t judge the genetics based on my returns......she is a frosty plant and will give great returns!!!👍👍 Several pictures show that, I hope!! So that will wrap up this diary for Sweet Seeds Killer Kush Auto, SWS56. Certainly give this girl some consideration if you like OG Kush and also have space concerns in your grow. She is beautiful frosty little girl with a punch. Certainly get the usual woody and citrus notes from her rosin and she has a lasting high. She helps to get get you going and willing to finally start cleaning that corner of the room you have been avoiding…….watch out though…..distractions😃……next thing you know 40 minutes go by and you are staring at a box of DVD’s wondering what happened to CD’s…….cassette tapes (the art of the “mix tape”), 8 tracks, vinyl……ALBUM COVER ART Baby!!!!!! Then its either back for another rip, or get your crap done because the next rip leads into even less work getting done😃😃 Great job as usual @Sweet_Seeds !!! Looking forward to the next one……Cream 47 photoperiod……actually, already done germination and a new diary coming👍👍…..compare a 3 gal pot to a 5 gal pot, or a fabric vs air pot, and see what my yield differences are?? Thanks for the read and greatly appreciate the comments Growmies!!!!! Love spending time on a forum for growers to help fellow growers. Much grower love and thanks again for your time, opinions, and suggestions🙏🙏🙏 Cheers!!

Dark purple buds and frozen cola Finish in 67 days She needs normal light and feeding

Day 42 / Week 6 Flower begins today - 22/12/2021. EC - EC has been a little high, rising to as high as 1.9 overnight after approx 16hrs since last feed. Inflow is 1.3 and will probably remain there or even be backed off slightly to 1.2 until the plants show they require more as if it keeps rising I will have to lower the EC slightly. I believe it is the Ultimate PK sending the EC higher as that is the only thing that has changed. Still giving less than half of what mills suggest and the girls don’t seem to mind, if anything they are getting slightly overfed as above suggests. Multifeeding - I am currently feeding every 4 hours, 2 hours after lights on and 2 hours before lights off for a total for 3 x per day, 2l per plant per feed. Always with 20% or greater runoff. Defoliation - I am still only removing about 7-10 leaves per plant every 4 or 5 days if they are beginning to cover or shade bud sites below. If they are not causing issues, I won’t remove them as I don’t want to cause any unnecessary stress at this stage. “LST” - The string is still attached from the “LST”, it does not seem to be affecting the plant and is keeping centre of the plants exposed pretty well so I’m trying to just keep the string on. As the weeks go on, if the branches require support instead of tying down, I will tie them up the frame of the tent probably. Both girls buds are beginning to fatten up, especially along the main branches are becoming more developed and more colours are coming on MOP 2 which is the more purple and prettier of the two phenos (for now). Even the lower stuff on both girls is a lot larger than the last time so I’m happy already as I’d imagine the tops will be even larger and there is still approx 3 weeks / 21 days remaining. Can’t wait to see how much more these progress in the coming weeks. 🙏🏻🤙🏻💚

So day 125 and last Late FastDiesel is choped, she will be the Champ. Amazing plant and realy interesting strain. Early Big FastDiesel 73.61 Slimmer Early FastDiesel 68.5 Late FastDiesel still to come .. Day 131. Long journey, amazing result Late FastDiesel 104 And total 246.11 Fantastic, in report will raise that strain to heaven ;)

5a settimana di fioritura 💚 La ragazza beve di brutto 🐫🐫 ... E sta gonfiando per bene i suoi bud pelosi🔝💚😋

Wow these girls look beautiful! So there was a malfunction a few weeks back with the biscotti gelato and I had to harvest it early, it bent over and well couldn't be saved which I know I would have come out amazing just as these did! I will be harvesting any day now!

One of my fast bud testers leaves are drying a lot at the tips faster than the other 2! It was expected at first as they drink a lot faster being in 385ml pots! I have just only started flush today so I’ll keep an eye on her and hope she makes it until the end! Hopefully the roots are not bound, but The signs are there! Wish me luck!

Hi everyone :-) She grows beautifully :-) This week she was given Canna Vega for the first time :-). This week I will start topping, next week with LST :-) I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 👍
