Today, day 23 was the last repotting. Girls went from 11.6L to a 20L pot. Now there in the right place, serious things can begin ! I planned to top the girls on wednesday or thursday. It will depends on hos they will recover. Actually, it's my first time with smartpots. If smartpots have a lot of advantages, repotting is not one of them ! I made a mistake : the plants were 60% dry, and abviously, it was not a good idea ! It should be clearly moist. Nextime I think I will water the girls 1 hour before repotting. I hope it will be ok and they will recover from this tough moment.... Will see in a few days 😰😨 Anyway, I have generously watered them right after repotting with no nutrient. Juste clear water with the right Ph. As they are in some brand new light-mix medium, I thought they have enough nutrient for a at least 2 or 3 days. D-25 : Everything is ok. Girls seems to have recover very well :) Anyway, I'll wait at least one more day before topping. D-26 : Topping the girls. Hope everything is going to ok... Also feeding the girls right after the top. During the topping process, the plants were reduced from 25cm to 12cm.

I was told to never judge a strain purely off it's THC percentage. To smell a plant, and what your nose picks out is generally the strain that will jive the best with the endocannabinoid system in your body. This strain exemplifies that. It's only around 17% but the high is amazing. An under-rated strain for sure. Very easy strain to grow. Although the same strain, one looked pretty different and was much frostier despite getting the exact same treatment from seed to chop.

WEEK 8 (04/18/2021 - 04/24/2021) Day 59: 04/18/2021 Defoliated some growth from each plant before I installed my custom-built SCRoG net made of: pvc piping, drywall screws, and jute twine for the netting. It’s slightly smaller than the tent, 41”x41” with a second level for another net. It fits perfectly, leaving plenty of room to work around the edges and move the fan around if needed. Immediately after defoliation and installing the net, I watered using ½ strength Botanicare Hydroguard. Watering was different. I used a battery-powered liquid transfer pump to help water the plants a little faster and more efficiently. Also helps to reach the plants I can’t access as easily in the corner. I am unable to test/collect any of the runoff at the moment since installing the net, which wouldn’t be an issue by itself, but my saucers are just barely large enough to fit the base of the 5 gallon pots into. I have no way of sticking a pH pen or TDS meter in the runoff. They simply won't fit between the pot and the saucer. This is extremely unfortunate, as I am now unable to monitor the ppm of the soil with each watering. Will have to pick up some larger saucers soon or think of another solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 61: 04/20/2021 ‘Tis the season to be medicated. Happy Holidaze! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 62: 04/21/2021 Upping the amount of water going into the pots this watering. Previously I was doing 1 gallon of water per 5 gallon pot. I’m increasing the amount of water to 1.5 gallons. Hopefully that will produce enough runoff for taking measurements. It’s going to be a painfully difficult task to take readings but I really need to know what the condition of the soil is right now. Will not be using any nutrients this time considering the runoff was kind of high when I fed on 4/10. This seems a little risky though since it has been 11 days since a nutrient feed, but I’d rather not burn the plants by blindly adding nutrients. Will return. Hopefully with measurements. (some amount of time later) Tap water: 245ppm, 6.1 pH (9 gallons) pH Down: 30ml JB#1 - 2730ppm, 7.0 pH JB#2 - 2290ppm, (pH pen died again on this plant) AP#1 - 2380ppm, 6.9 pH AP#2 - 3610ppm (seems extremely high), 7.0 pH GC#1 - 2320ppm, 6.9 pH GC#2 - 2340ppm, 7.1 pH I don’t know what was up with the measurements on the AP#2. The saucers the pots are sitting in are a little small so I think the ppm might have been reading high because the bottom of the fabric pot was sitting in the runoff. Maybe I’m just saying that to reassure myself. Either way, the 3000+ ppm seemed very off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 66: 04/24/2021 Defoliation + weaving/securing branches through SCRoG. I'm not 100% sure that the SCRoG was the most optimal technique of choice given the very limited space within the grow tent. Also, I almost feel like I installed the screen a little late. Maybe not? Either way, I have read about them and the potential of increased yields, which got me excited enough to build one to try out for myself. I was aware going into it that there would be some difficulties using a SCRoG. I can no longer move my pots around is the main thing. Not being able to move the pots around has increased the difficulty factor of watering/feeding. I now have to access 3 different sides of the tent to get all 6 plants. I've clipped all the ties holding the branches down from previous LST sessions. There was just no way I was going to spend hours weaving in and out of all the ties trying to water each plant while also dealing with the difficulties of a SCRoG obstructing the work space. That would also wreck my poor back. From here, things are going to get real exciting. Tomorrow (04/25) I am rescheduling the light cycle to 12/12 to initiate flowering. Another 60-70 days to go, growing buds and packing on trichomes. With that said, I'm excited to have made it through my very first full vegetative cycle. I've definitely made my fair share of mistakes, as expected, but as long as I keep learning from them future harvest will only continue to increase in quality and yield. Thank you for stopping by and checking out the diary this week! All your kind words and encouragement are fuel. Until next time! 🙏

I am pleasantly surprised with this grow. This is my second time growing Cream Cookies and my yields have increased by 400%. Cream Cookies #2 was the heaviest yielder coming in at 224.04 grams wet. Coming in at almost a quarter POUND for one plant just makes me grin from ear to ear. Im so extremely happy with how ive been taking care of them. It seems that proper and methodical defoliation is the key to massive yields. Cutting fan leaves which block out a significant portion of the available light to the lower and developing bud sites proved to be a great choice. The plants look a little 'skinny' after defoliation, but the newly exposed bud sites explode into the canopy. Im just so very happy with how everything went. Haven't smoked yet its curing now, will update in two weeks!

Hi Grow Diaries Fam, It' s the last week for those girls. It was a pleasure to grow her. Day 65 : It smells extremely strong. The neighbors are going to ask ❓❓ ❓. I think I'll have to cut earlier than expected.🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼 Day 67 : Harvest Day 😁😁😁😁 See you later for the taste test. Peace to all ✌️🏻✌️🏼✌️🏿✌️🏾✌️✌️🏽

Day 28: nutrients like plan --------------------------------------------- Not much to say, we are in bloom now. Happy growing 🕷️✌️

Day 38, Mexican Haze (x1) is 7” tall Morning Glory is 8” tall The remaining closely average 6” in height. Amazing dark green leaves 🌳💕🌳 Day 42, Second feed, sometimes they dry out fast and I just give them plain water before a feed on the next watering.

Tapering nutes off for the flush. Also added a small amount of Barley as a top dress to help her finish off.

Hi guys So the room is looking and smelling amazing. I have a smoothie and amnesia zkittles hanging in a box on day 5 hang dry so far. The othere 6 in the tent will all be getting chopped on Sunday so that's another end to another brilliant fastbud 420 auto run. It went up and down and running 4 x diffrent strains was hard to stay on top of a feeding schedule. Next auto run all the same strain. Next run is a competition run for super sativa seed club so keep an eye out for that 1. #fastbuds420 Happy growing guys 🙌👌

18.1.25: Gorilla 🦍 Cookies 🍪 is firmly in week 2. The plant is looking very good, sturdy. I have been feeding with about 200 ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;- ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag and ♡ 1/4 g sprinkling of Ecothrive Biosys. Trying to give the extra boost of Nitrogen to keep vigorous growth, and maintaining the nice lush green 💚 Cal-Mag was used from the beginning of this week. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Carramellow Kush no.2 "Cath" finished enough for me. She's full of trichomes and her calyxes are swollen and ripe. Another week for the next lady to be harvested and probably a couple of weeks more for the 3rd. I'll update on the weight when I've dried them off 🤪

She still falling Down, but buds feels like they are heavy And dense

Hola con esta semana ya quedamos al dia con el seguimiento ya que estaba atrasado en el tiempo. Se nota una producción de resina notable en esta genética que nos ha gustado mucho por su olor y estructura de las plantas . hemos creado un video por cada una de las 14 plantas del seguimiento, hay varias muy llamativas que están "pre-seleccionadas" para mantener a futuro, el olor que se llega a sentir es muy florar y dulce, si tienen alguna pregunta no duden en preguntar saludos. Hello with this week we are already up to date with the follow-up since I was late in time. There is a remarkable resin production in this genetics that we liked a lot for its smell and structure of plants. We have created a video for each of the 14 floors of the follow-up, there are several very striking that are "pre-selected" to keep in the future, the smell you get to feel is very flowery and sweet, if you have any questions do not hesitate to Ask greetings.

Nice Bud swelling going on. #2 has outgrown the grow box. I'm going to swap her with a small plant from my big grow room. She got a little bit of light burn but not to bad. #1 is close to the lights bud she seems ok. I will move her if I have too.

2 weeks left before harvest. Tricoms are half milky no amber yet
