I have been using LST in the form of a fan on medium speed to try and strengthen the main stalk of the plant as well as planter rotation to strengthen the main stalk for tie down LST. So far I've been impressed with the rate of growth and the overall experiment. For what it's worth, the growth wth is very very similar to a hydroponics growth. I'm sure as the experiment continues I'll notice some big differences. It does appear to have either a minor potassium deficiency or a little too much nitrogen. Will monitor and update as needed. The above signs may have been trying to indicate the main stalk was weakening from too much weight from vertical grow rate. This would ultimately lead to a fractured stalk. Is this what happened or is it a fungus or disease problem? Plant C sprouted within 48hrs and will be 6 days behind Plant A. End goal of harvest is still 360g from the two plants combined. Both plants are looking very happy regardless of the toxicity or deficiency. Strong strain nonetheless.

I can't wait until we have more! This was fun, my only regret is not vegging an extra week or 2 but I chickened out on space lol..thanks as always for dropping by and be sure to check this strain out, it's fabulous!! 😽👌 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

A good week here in the tent. The girls continue to grow and progress. Getting a small amount of water daily. Looking for more progression then I'll transplant the best looking ones.

Getting frosty

Fun one to grow even in veg its exciting because the foliage is fuckin Jurassic like it's a beautiful thing. Had some high ph towards the end so I would say theres plenty of room for improvement but all around this was a decent grow and this strain is a classic

Today will marked 7 weeks in flower. I believe I am going to take these girls up to 10 weeks due to being out of town for the weekend probably will flush them out for 1 week only before chopping them down.

It's been a pretty good week. I did quite a big defoliation, as things were getting crowded. She has a nice flowery smell! I switched to a more flowering dominant feeding, I decreased the Nitrogen and pumped up the phosphorus and potassium. I will soon do a flush, as it looks like the nuts are starting to accumulate at the roots.

Flower starting up nicely already starting to turn purple these ladies are looking great. Starting to feed with some bloom but still giving low doses of Veg nutes in the 1st 2 weeks for growth

She’s getting frosty and dank 👃🍪🍊🍓🍰🍌🍒🍇🍭👃 Day 29 almost half way , happy with all the phenos so far all frosty so many terps .. started feed the canna nutrients plants canna pk1314 .. 2 flush’s Got the remo plants all most on the proper Ec again

Looks a little sad today as I went a little long inbetween waterings. The tent is starting to smell real nice. I'm hoping to flip to flower quite soon. Back soon. Take it easy.

Lowered the lights a good 8-10inches just because i realized i could get them closer without burning! Going for around 6-7 inches above canopy getting the temp in the high 70s low 80s om top canopy. All pheno are getting very unique and super resinous! I have a slight lnat problem going to spray this week when i get paid

Chopped the second Frostbanger after a week's flush. As you can see from the pics she is a beauty. Very good leaf to bud ratio will be easy to trim. Smell is strong. Next up will be the gorilla zkittles. Which is the biggest in the tent by far. But it's taking a while to ripen up. Then that's just leaves 1 frostbanger which I planted a couple weeks after the rest. The Frostbangers are just like photoperiods. Even for F3s they have been very stable. I can't wait to try the F8 banana purple punch 😳. This will be the last update unless I decide to add a week for the plant that's behind. Which also looks very good. If not I'll do a review and give the final weight in the next update. Very happy with this run. 🌱❄️💨

Nice

August 18, Day 28. Had to flush on Friday due to nutrient lockout. There were purple stems which caught my attention to a possible nutrient deficiency. Coupled by the dark green older fan leaves and bright green of new growth, my Apera TDS meter confirmed nutrient lockout. Kaboom was flushed a total of 4 times Friday night, then foliar fed at 25% strength the next morning. She was given 1.1 liters of pHd water since the top inch was already dry despite flushing the night before. I am taking her thirst to mean she is recovering well. I plan on resuming the GH least aggressive feed schedule tomorrow and will begin feeding with every watering. Now that she's on the mend from the nutrient lockout I can tell she's thirstier than what she used to be, I'm taking that to mean she's hanging in there. Friends, growmies, cousins, comrades, colleagues and cultivars. Updates last week were minimal because this plant mama came down with COVID. Flushing a plant during COVID fever is no joke. Stay well and healthy everyone. August 19, Day 29. Fed at least aggressive strength today until 25% runoff. Included a new supplement to the nutrient line up, silica. Today is the first time I use it so I went easy and used the weakest dose. Plant has 5 main sites so far, yahoozie. To top a second time? No se todavia, deja lo pienso jajaja August 21, Day 31.Topped one more time, clipped the tallest point to give the others time to catch up. I know I will need to defoliate a tiny bit, soon, but I'm a bit scared to remove either too much or a mega vital leaf. I'll watch videos about it and aim for next week. I sprayed the top inch with pH'd water and will feed and water tomorrow morning. August 22, Day 32. Fed and watered, no recharge since I used it on Day 29. As I repositioned the kabob sticks, I noticed a couple of milestones - she is in the very beginning stages of forming pistils and she is beginning to smell. I plan on keeping her in veg for at least 2 more weeks, hopefully this isn't super ambitious for a plant named Kaboom lol 😂 August 24, Day 34. I checked on Kaboom and found that the top inch was totally dry so I fed and watered her. I used everything except recharge, but will use it at next feeding since I'm aiming for 10 days in between applications. I think Kaboom is looking fabulous

Hey GrowDiaries! What a week it’s been! My plant’s growth has been off the charts, reaching an impressive height of 96 centimeters. 🌿📏 Here’s the scoop: Burst of Growth: This plant's not just growing; it's soaring! Reached a towering 96cm in height. Feels like it's reaching for the stars! Bloom Phase Nutrition: Still on track with the bloom-specific nutrition. It’s all about giving the plant exactly what it needs during this crucial phase. Telegram Bot Tweaks: I’ve upgraded my trusty Telegram bot. Squashed some bugs and made it even smarter. Now, it shows the status of the automated watering system along with the usual temperature, humidity, and other vital stats. Alert Threshold Adjustments: I’ve customized the alert thresholds to match the plant’s current phase. If, for instance, the temperature spikes, I get a notification. Staying one step ahead! A Problem-Free Week: Overall, the week went super smooth, and the plant looks absolutely fabulous. It's thriving, and I couldn’t be happier. And a short update on my plans for next week. I'm gearing up for some tech tweaks in my green haven. 🌿🔧 Here's what's on the agenda: Calibrating the Soil Moisture Sensor: Next week, I'm planning to calibrate my soil moisture sensor. It’s a nifty piece of tech that uses capacitive technology. So, how does it work? These sensors measure the water content in the soil based on the electrical capacitance. Basically, the more water in the soil, the higher the capacitance. It’s like a mini superpower for understanding soil moisture! Dealing with Environmental Factors: The catch is, the sensor's readings can be influenced by temperature and air humidity. I plan to make some smart corrections to minimize these effects. The goal? To get super accurate moisture readings, unaffected by external conditions. It’s all about precision! With these tweaks, I'm aiming for a perfect balance in my plant's environment. Fingers crossed for a week of tech triumphs and happy plants! That’s all for now, GD. Can't wait to see what the next week has in store for us! 🚀🌺

Wow what a difference a week makes. The one I topic thriving a d growing with no issues. The one that was last week losing all it fan leave seem to be making a great recovery and looking better the ever

5/31/25 Sprout popped out of Coco in 400ml Menards Mini Pail. -10:00pm fed with 100-150ml~ 1050EC 5.6pH Mix. -25-75ml~ runoff -QB96x2 at 320 watts -Light is like 46-54 inches away. Using the Photon App with a printer paper diffuser it says the top of the sprout is 320 ppfd. Trying to decide which system to use for watering. Printed a bunch of stuff including a AutoPot Tray that holds the Mini Pail and AquaValve5. Lightproof Lid. Pot Elevator if needed. Made a Irrigation ring and a bunch of things to hold it to the Mini Pail nicely. Connected to a LetPot WiFi Auto Watering System that allows me to set how many times it waters a day. It also provides a feature that when its watering schedule starts it can be done in intervals instead of continuously watering. I am leaning toward using the Auto Watering System over the AutoPot to avoid salt buildup. If I use the AutoPot I wonder if I would be fine if I topfed like 1000ml~ every Saturday Afternoon?
