The problem encountered during the growth : - Water (at the beginning) too little pumps that didn’t propagate the water equally so I went for a bigger industrial pump that pumps equally in the whole tent. 
 - RC : Some problems with the humidity at the beginning but got sorted out when I got the de humidifier
 - Babies almost died mid-grow, came in with the ultimate save of the day, one day later and it was over. 
 - Had a problem with the container that held the water as water was empty when I’d get back at the end of the week (during flowering mode) so I went with a 120L container which works just fine. 
 - Didn’t flush properly because I was in a rush

This week consists of July 23, 2022 thru July 29, 2022 - Seeds were planted on May 27th, 2022 and they all sprouted on May 31st, 2022 (~4 days) Continued on schedule of 2 times do feed and then one water with only PH'd water. LIGHTS: I'm running the lights on an 18-6 schedule. I have the dark time scheduled from 11am to 5pm since the lights increase temperature and during that time the outside temperature is at its highest so it seems to be easier to maintain proper temperature ranges with the light off during that period. Swapped out the metal halide bulb to the high pressure sodium on July 6th since the plants have been in flower. WATER: July 23rd: ~1500 ml of 6.1 PH and 1500 PPM. 30 ml/gal of Big Bloom 0 ml/gal of Grow Big 15 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 0 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 25th: ~1200 ml of 6.1 PH and oxygenated water July 27th: ~1500 ml of 6.1 PH and 1500 PPM. 30 ml/gal of Big Bloom 0 ml/gal of Grow Big 15 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 0 ml/gal of Cal-Mag July 29th: ~1500 ml of 6.1 PH and 1500 PPM. 30 ml/gal of Big Bloom 0 ml/gal of Grow Big 15 ml/gal of Tiger Bloom 5 ml/gal of Cal-Mag TEMP/HUMIDITY: A max of 90.0F and a min of 62.8F with an average of 78.8F. VPD was harder to maintain this week since it was in the high 80s and low 90s outside with the average being around 1.59. Whole week numbers> Temp - 78.8F avg - 62.8F min - 90.0F max Humidity - 52.7% avg - 21.0% min - 83% max VPD - 1.59 avg - 0.40 min - 3.20 max CO2: Floating ball is between .5 and 1. This lets a more gradual amount of CO2 to enter the tent and I now get a more stable level of CO2 that fluctuates between around 1000 ppm and 1300 ppm. The regulator is still plugged into the same outlet as the lights so it turns off on the same light/dark schedule. PAR: PPFD between 300-1500. The tops of some plants are getting the 1200-1400 range and some side leaves are getting in the 400-700 range. ISSUES: Nothing new. TECHNIQUES: I implemented some minor defoliation on some of the affected leaves and some leaf tucking.

"Chugging" along this week. Weather is hot, girls are loving the all time drip system. Forgot that my nutes and hot sun dont mix well and created a bad case of algae. Will monitor more often and maybe increase the drip flow

1/12/21 - The fan leaves seem to be dying off kinda. Check the pictures. The buds and sugar leaf look great! We are giving plain water until harvest. 1/13/21 - They are ripening up and will be ready for harvest on the 17th! We are prepping as we will wet trim then make thc pain salve from all of the popcorn nugs and trim. We will be using a drying rack. It just seems like the best option for this grow. 1/14/21 - We might chop them tomorrow or Sunday. Either way we will be harvesting this weekend. The buds look amazing! We can’t wait to harvest and make pain balm with the popcorn and trim. 1/15/21 - Harvest Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *We will update the diary with dry weight and details in a week or so*

With much pride, this lady here, that's Called HB Dunkin'z is the best lady I've grown so far with the Alien system. Pure instinto seeds have done an amazing job with these genetics, shes super sticky, dense and rich in flavour and smell. At first you get this sweet piney lemoney nose tickle on the first whiff that dwells down into this gassy sugar rich and creamy earthy down notes but with a twist of this candy background. Her smoke profile is exactly like that but id say she pops out two dominant flavour profiles and not one! Her smell is the same all around on the nugs but her taste you either get that sweet indulgent piney lemony nose tickle as taste or you get this gassy rich sugary candy twist of a background! Its definitely a pleasure to smoke! She grew perfectly other then a minor mutation that showed buds spots within and on the fan leaves! Was a lovely sight to see! Definitely top her! Definitely do some defoilation, wouldnt say heavy but a decent amount , lst her up she'll love you for it, start and keep light at 150cm, if need during flowering zip tie to top, she will give you lovely growth and feed her on a semi mid to high feed, she enjoys a drink but not on the heavy heavy side. Her info suggested about 9 weeks of flower, unfortunately she exceeded that with about 11/12 weeks, wether it was due to the low feeding during the perm bluez finishing or if she just enjoyed the conditions so she allowed more time or maybe her longer flowering time pheno popped through, who knows 🤷‍♂️ I wouldn't suggest a beginner to grow her, have a few ladies under your belt otherwise you won't get to yield her fruitful fruits properly. I'll definitely be picking up a few of her for future diaries with some other pure instinto seeds to go along with her! If i was you id also pick up some and store em, pop one out everyone so often and let her show you why you got them again! Cannot wait to get the system up and running again with a fresh on to see if we can pull even better off, I reckon we can with ease 🙋‍♂️

Week 15 - 06/21 - 06/27 Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED Day Temperature - 78 F Night Temperature - 68 F Humidity - 40 +/-5 D50 Flower - Fed the ladies their last nutrient feeding. Raised the HPS and LED lights up and turned the HPS down to 200 W, I am trying to emulate fall by lowering the amount of light. D53 Flower - Started the flush today with ph'd water and blackstrap molasses. I also decided to go ahead and defoliate one of the clones and both of the scrog plants. I didn't strip it bare, I just cut out the larger fan leaves. I opened the tent today and they were glistening and super potent smelling, I am probably a week away from harvesting! D56 Flower - Was on a trip and had to water the ladies with a timer and pump, thankfully everything worked fine. Flushed again with FloraKleen.

Nuevamente repito siempre el mismo proceso en el cuidado de la planta en cada etapa. Siempre cuido el ph que para mí es lo más importante en este trabajo. Despúes todo lo demas se puede mejorar.

Dutch Passion Shaman Die vierzehnte Woche begann sonnig und warm und endete mit dem Beginn einer massiven Starkregen Front. Über 70 Liter Wasser werden in 48 Stunden fallen. So entschied ich zum Ende der Woche, beide Shamaninnen mit einem Gartenschirm zu schützen. Die Blüten schwellen, die Aufregung steigt. Ich kontrolliere die Pflanzen täglich, um sicher zu stellen, dass beide weiterhin gesund bleiben und ich am Ende saubere und harzig leckere Buds ernten kann. Und diese Zeit ist gut investiert, denn ich entdeckte zu Beginn der Woche eine Blüte, die verdächtig aussah und sofort herausgeschnitten wurde. Shamanin No. 1, die stickstoffüberfütterte grüne Dame hatte ganz oben ein klein wenig Fäulnis zwischen Blüte und Stiel. Im Laufe der Woche konnte ich dann nichts weiteres mehr finden. Auch der Schnitt ist sauber verheilt. Beide stehen gut da. Als klar war, dass es über Tage massiv regnen wird, habe ich begonnen beiden Shamaninnen nur noch sparsam Wasser zu geben. Ein bisschen Trockenstress soll sich gut auf die Trichom Bildung auswirken und ich hoffe, dass sie so in der kommenden Woche durstig und mit geschlossenen Spaltöffnungen weniger anfällig für Pilze sein wird. Denn eines ist sicher: Die kommende Woche wird für uns drei heftig. Ich habe das miese Virus und oben drauf noch eine bakterielle Bronchitis. 29 Grad Fieber. Knock out. 🤒 Zu den Pflanzen werde ich trotzdem täglich hinfahren. Bissl frische Luft tanken. Danke für‘s vorbeischauen! 🤞💚

Day 16 Veg : Holy molly these girls have impressed me this week. I started with barely seedlings and now at the beginning of week 3 above the soil , they are going for it. Seeing the LOS girl#1 slowly start to gain a little more green to her leaf finally has me thinking the soil is becoming active now. The coty leaves are still all looking ok and not even nibbled by them. I wonder if autos can bypass them when resources are there for them ?. So far the coco girls have been consistently getting bigger but the LOS seems to have spurted up in their pots. They all had a treat of a life-cycle feed a few days back which seems to have accelerated them all a little too. No doubt their ruderalis genetic also is a huge help but no signs of deficiency besides the paling , so all good in the world. I am curious to see when the first signs of flower kick in now the 2 week mark has passed. Training starts soon.

The bud sites are filling in quickly, excited to see how they develop further. Smooth sailing, easy fun grow. Got a little over 13" tall. Super short, curious to see how much yield she gets.

🗓️ WEEK 8 / DAY 50-56 ⚡ Light: 30 cm / 150 watt; ⌛ Schedule: 18/6; 🌡️ 24.5° C - 65% RH average; 📑 PH 6.1 - EC 2.3; 🌱 Phenotype #1 is forming beautiful flowers, for two weeks I have been rotating the plants 180° every 3 days, so as to make the buds that would receive less light also swell. Height: 48 cm; 🌱 Phenotype #2 just stopped stretching and begins the flowering stage. Height: 55 cm; ⚙️ Fan, extractor and pump ON 24/0. 👯‍♀️ As you can see in the pics, I have other seedlings in my grow-box, here the diaries if you want to take a look: - White Widow (GHS): https://growdiaries.com/diaries/198827-green-house-seed-co-white-widow-grow-journal-by-deepwatergrower - Opium (Divine seeds): https://growdiaries.com/diaries/206602-divine-seeds-opium-grow-journal-by-deepwatergrower

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.

hello folks Been a very progressive week for girls. Difference with Mammoth and Recharge is HUGE, flowers are stacking well nice...that never happened before. Either that or all 4 girls have some great genetics, or could be both 😋 Slight increase in Cal mag and Ph calibration seems to have fixed the issue. not getting anymore marks and the existing ones are hard to notice now. As canopy fills again, Humidity becomes a bit higher at night so I have to keep defoliating to an extent to keep the humid down in room. That also helps light to penetrate deeper & cooking the flowers under. compared to last week only, difference is big. Got to say Blue Dream smells incredible and the most out of all at the moment. In the face lemons !!!
