Back to the 1000 wt as temps here are modest for July atm. Still 1 plant not flowering like the other 2. I will be patient as it鈥檚 overall structure looks amazing. Slowly easing into the process not as much anxiety about every little thing. Changed my light out for my lower power 600 wt led instead of the 1000wt TMLAPY. Maybe not the right move i really don't know what to do b/c i have tip burn and my tent gets a bit hot in the low 80s when its in the 90s here in Illinois. I have an makeshift cooler w fan and some fans and my exhaust fan system which im pretty sure is under powered and overall and bad beginner purchase. I will upgrade as soon as i can financially afford to. Also had flooding issues in basement which is always an adventure, i eventually need a better way to get my grow tent up off the ground b/c water does get in there sometimes. Doing everything in my power to avoid mold and have fans and filters and cleaning, but again this may have been a beginner mistake and i may have to find a new home for the tent for the next time. Also I definitely had been under watering the girls and came close to one of them dying and have to remove some yellow leaves at bottom, they all look stable now. 1 out of 3 plants has a darker color and looks fuller and healthier w less tip burn but it is shorter only has a couple of hairs where the other 2 are going full on into flowering with so many hairs and growing much taller. Possibly stunted the growth... Anyway the word of the day for this week is TIP BURN. I will submit a question to follow. i recently uploaded a video that should show all 3 plants w the tip burn.

Harvested week 7 day 46 of flower. My 3rd time growing this strain & this was the best grow, even though she was only a foot tall, she was around 2 square feet in width & had big stacked dense colas all over her.

Different pump is better. 10L Ec=1.59 Ph=6.3/6.3 2L left 2.6L each roughly. #2 run 0.8L Ec=3.15 Ph=5.7 4.00pm Radiator settings LIghts on Turn on if temp drops below 23.0c Turn off if temp goes above 23.0c Lights off Turn on if temp drops below 19c Turn off if temp goes above 19c Monday 27/2/23 Day 34 7.30pm #2 defoliate some lower stuff. Tuesday 28/2/23 Day 35 #2 Height= 27CM Dist= 42CM DLI= 22.2 The 1st week of flower has flown by. I'm quite happy with how things have gone with the grow so far. The environmental system seems to be keeping conditions a lot closer then I could manage using guess work and timers, probably the best investment I have made for growing. #2 Tropicana Cookies FF has just started to stretch a little during the last few days, she is very bushy and has had quite a bit of defoliation throughout the week to allow some airflow through. I have also removed lower nodes that won't make it through the screen. I'm thinking she will start showing pistils over the next few days. Power used for week Light (1.85+1.79+1.79+1.78+1.75+1.75+1.75)=12.46Kw Extractor (0.16+0.12+0.14+0.15+0.14+0.17+0.18)=1.06Kw Fans (0.39+0.39+0.41+0.4+0.39+0.39+0.40)=2.77Kw Dehumidifier (1.26+0.62+0.73+0.04+0.11+0.55+1.61)=4.92Kw Radiator (1.59+2.70+2.28+3.6+2.86+3.15+3.23)=19.41Kw Water pump. (0.0+0.01+0.0+0.0+0.01+0.0+0.0)=0.02Kw Total for the week=40.64Kw Back in a week. Thanks for stopping by.

Clones looking surprisingly good. The mother plant they spawned from was destroyed in veg due to gnat infestation from poor conditions on my part, however clones were taken while she was healthy and thriving. Sorry for the pic quality, the tent is getting crowded during the stretch and it's hard to get single shots of 1 plant because of the trellis. Lesson learned for me personally, stick with 1-2 different strains per tent up to a 4x4.

Que hay familia, yo con muchos dolores de cabeza esta variedad es dif铆cil de cojones, piden mucho alimento, han ensanchado bastante as铆 que me toco hacer poda de bajos que no me gusta nada. Tambi茅n estoy al ojo por que me huele a hermafrodita una de ellas, no me hagan caso el cultivo anterior sali贸 top y ando todo el d铆a fumado... pero no es el caso. Nuestras green ak son bastante sensibles a los cambios de temperatura y bueno, no se la recomendar铆a a medir principiante si no m谩s a gente con varios a帽os de experiencia para poder sacar lo mejor de ellas. Ph controlado 6,5 no fallamos en eso ni en el alimento ya veremos pr贸ximamente como avanza saludos familia.

Hey, there peeps! Apologies for not updating my diary as I have been quite busy balancing non-plant responsibilities -.-! Anyway, we are now on day 75 since I ordered my equipment and started germinating my seed and day 71 since I placed my seedling in her first Coco pot! She is now a staggering 4 foot 2 - which was overwhelming considering this is my first grow and orginally only cleared out 2/3 of my cuboard but now it uses the whole space but she's coming along so well! I have also added a LED Grow Light Full Spectrum 50W Red COB as I wanted some extra light for the bottom half nuggests. She is very healthy (I assume from the strong healthy roots) and hasnt shown any major defects other then the initial defects i encountered in week 2-3 and slight light burn on the top cola in week 7 which was from the plant growing so quickly and touching the light, but I did then adjust the light within 2-3 hours. What do you guys think and how did she get so tall consdiering she is an auto-flower and the strain is meant to be indica domiant?

Day 57. Everything looking good, some look like their stretch is done, bud sites everywhere, fed them 1 L - 1.5 L of their solution. Using boost and terpinator. Day 58. Fed them Full with 20% runoff. They are starting to smell really good. Removed a lower branch on some of the plants since the light wasn't going to reach. Removed some fan leaves on some of the plants giving room for bud sites to get some light. Day 59. Looking real good, some still haven't stretched but have buds growing. I'm expecting them to stretch this week. I'm always giving them something to drink and they love it! *********** Day 60. So down to 8 plants. It sucks because one of the barney鈥檚 pinneaple chunk that hermied was a real beast with huge branches and buds, but tips of pistils were brown so probably would of had seeds even if i would of cut the balls as they grew. I saw some pistils on another plant that turned brown, Going to keep that one since it鈥檚 not hermie and just 2 pistils that are brown tipped. Fed them 1.5 L of solution each no runoff. Day 61. Looking good, buds growing nicely, long white hairs so i鈥檓 expecting big colas. All of them stretched except the 2 Diesel strain. Keeping light at 14-22inches from top of colas and humidity at 35-40%. Fed them 1 L -1.5 L solution each no runoff. Day 62. Defoliation, removed some fan leaves covering bud sites towards the middle of the lights. I make sure to not over do it and place the plants correctly for the bud sites to get direct light. I鈥檓 having a hard time with the 2 Diesel plants, they aren鈥檛 stretching and are slow on forming buds, they gave me a hard time through whole grow. Fed them All 1.5 - 2.5 L each of their solution with little or no runoff. Day 63. The 2 Diesel are starting to have their stretch. Everything looking good, buds are getting bigger and bigger. Making sure humidity is always under 45%. Keeping lights at 10-20inches from top of main colas. 40k-70k lux on the lights , updated with pictures. ***** Checked out plants and signs of hermies are showing, i see some male balls Both Barneys Pinneaple Chunk are showing signs of hermies ( balls growing ), going to remove both from tent and focus on the 8 other ones. What a terrible day ( day 59 )

I know it is only two weeks but compared to other auto flower plants during this stage I'm starting to think that all three of my girls are stunted. I did have an issue during week 1. My light wasn't 18 inches as Mars Hydro indicated. I still had my lights height at 24inches.

Im very happy with the progress so far. One of my better vegetative periods thats for sure. I removed my scrog as it was annoying to work with I did only water 1 time this week. Gave them around 1,2 liters each. Some a little less. PH 6, nutrients solution strenght is at 100% and they seem to be loving it. No signs of defficiencies to my knowledge. My grow tent is a little hot peaking at 30 celcius with a average around 29 at day and 18-22 celcius at night. Humidity is around 35 as well. My humidifier broke. I have fixed it and using it for my lemon tree and my vegetables that i got growing as well The smell is heaven like when i open the tent and some of them have the smell i am looking for so im really excited.

4 more weeks to go and we are harvesting, and it will assure me that I have properly flushed her, want her to be a smooth operator, her smell as cheesy as always, I am just worried I over did it with the nutrients now with water, but she will guide me.
