[ Introduction ] Welcome to my first ever grow journal! I have been growing medically for the past couple years, documenting some of my grows on my Facebook and Instagram (@OnlyTomatoes) pages, as well as several cannabis cultivation subreddits. I've found that I do a lot of things differently than other growers, so I'd like to share a full cycle publicly in case I have the answers to somebody's questions. [ Updates ] Day 4 - Lights have been lowered to 18 inches off canopy, dimmed to 25%. They've recovered from both their transplant and their topping, new growth looks almost perfect. I'm going to keep the accidental sunflowers for a few more days and see if there's any significant difference between plants. They all received a foliar spray of neem, kelp, and a bit of calmag before lights off yesterday. I expect to be able to remove the remaining damaged leaves by the end of this week. Day 7 - Lights increased to 30%, C02 increased to 800ppm, getting ready for week 2 of veg. Fed today, fairly low EC (<1.5) blend of Silica, Calcium, Kelp, Molasses, and Tribus Grow in a mixture of R/O and tap water. Very little runoff at 1gal per pot. Will most likely foliar again before lights off with a light fish hydrolysate mixture to help with any nitrogen issues. Any dead or dying leaves you see are from pre-transplant, I'm just waiting a few days longer for the existing rootballs' ph levels to swing back to a healthy range before removing all that unsightly growth. I'm really not sure when I'm going to remove the sunflowers growing in some of the pots, I've seen no negative effects yet. I could flip group 1 into flower if I wanted, the canopy is level and beautiful, however group 2 will take a while longer to fill a canopy. [ Grow Details ] Plant Count: 64 (Clones) Mother Age: 17 Months Strain: Gelat.OG (Phenotype 5) Breeder: Seedsman Hunter: OnlyTomatoes Veg Time: 3-5 Weeks Flower Time: 65 Days Training: Multiple Toppings Final Pot Size: 5 gal (Fabric) [ Room Details ] Room Size: 21'x9'x11' (190sqft, 2100cuft) Canopy Size: 10'x9' and 5'x9' (135sqft) Lighting: Grower's Choice ROI-E720 x6 (dimmed to 25% power during veg) Cooling: Cooper&Hunter 36k BTU Minisplit Dehumidification: Quest 225 Equipment Controllers: TrolMaster (Lighting, Cooling, and Dehumidification controls), AutoPilot (C02 Controls) Watering System: Manually controlled drip irrigation, x2 1gph drip emitters per pot [ Pre-Veg ] These poor clones have lived an abused life during 2021, sitting around in solo cups for over 2 months waiting for a new home. Normally I would never allow pre-veg plants to have such obvious deficiencies, but constant hand watering led to some poor nutrient decisions on my part. They've been in their final pots for a few days now and were topped on day 0 of veg. I plan on lowering the lights to 18"-24" within canopy around day 3, I'm just allowing some extra time for the roots to really dig in. I've found that a batch of dirt that was used had sunflower seeds in it, possibly winter food storage from an outside rodent, so I'm debating how long I will let these sunflower seedlings grow alongside my plants. They do make a good cover crop with amazing root systems, I just don't think that really applies in pots of this size where plants can choke each other out.

Targona 43 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Sixth week of growth of my Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 Nutrients: I use Advanced Hydroponics Of Holland nutrients - three basic components, still according to the table for vegetative growth 💓 - - Dutch fertilizer Formula 1 Grow - supplies the plant with substances necessary for the perfect development of roots, stem and leaves; intended for the growth phase 🌾 - Dutch fertilizer Formula 2 Bloom - contains a large amount of nutrients necessary for rapid growth and fruit development, supplies the plant with energy; intended for the flowering phase 🌸🌿 - Dutch fertilizer Formula 3 Micro - increases oxygen intake, improves plant immunity, ensures better absorption of nutrients; intended for the growth and flowering phase 🌴 -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- --------- BioBizz Calmag - The special Calmag supplement was designed for professional and hobby growers who need to supply their plants with calcium and magnesium in organic quality for a long time or immediately. 100% organic 💩💩 and certified BioBizz Calmag is made from calcium carbonate and magnesium sulfate supplemented with humic acid. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------ BioBizz Bio pH- is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which occurs naturally in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- During the flowering period, I add stimulants: - JUNGLE X Environ is a highly effective complex preparation for stimulating flower formation. 🌸🏵️ - Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my girls 🍭🍭🍭 Anyway, this is the last watering that I mix like this. I will gently switch to mainly organic nutrients, with the addition of very gentle flower stimulants, which are only slightly or partially mineral. In general: Apple Fritter Automatic 🍎🍏🍎 - The girl still responds well to nutrients. Actually all the girls in the tent, except for their sister - Melonade Runtz, which I'm sorry about. However, as I wrote above, I will be switching to a different fertilization system, so we'll see, girls, it shouldn't stress me out, because it will be much lower doses of organic nutrients. I really like the main "bud", I can already see that it will be a thick and strong flower 💚🌺🌱🌿 Training: During this period, I decided to try only a slight defoliation. In previous rounds, I did more defoliation every week, now I try to do the opposite and leave more space for flowers and nature. I wonder if this will affect the harvest 💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50 cm between the light and the plants, so I move it up regularly 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes See you soon 😍😍

finally they are in flower! Yay final foliar spray applied. They are still smelling like chocolate and peanut butter. Did not get 1 drop of rain this week. It is getting so frustrating plants are 1/4 what they should be this year.

week 6 of flowering start tomorrow. im not going to give them anymore nirvana, kushie kush and alfa boost. At week 7 of flowering i'll start flushing

Shes budding really hard. I discovered I have minor thrip issues. I'm waiting patiently for nematodes. I've also been spraying em with neem. Seems to be working it does the trick. Hope you enjoy this it's rather large for its container size! Check back in a week! Hopefully it's the right video I posted here. I wish I could see them before saving the diary and having to go in and change it if its wrong.

Cookies kush harvested, critical is busy being harvested. Mandarin cookies Is getting flushed and holy grail about a week away.

Week #18 Gelato-K By Kannabia Week #18 Mar 8th-15th Week #7 Flower This week she is packing on weight buds a swelling trichomes are still mostly clear. Thank you for stopping by!! Stay Growing!!

This plants have developed beautiful branches that will develop awesome fat nuggets for sure! Really nice strain to grow, would be awesome to apply lst some time on this strain, I have applied a selective defoliation on them, let's see how this ladies keep developing, I start to count the days of flower on April 10th!

Outdoor harvest smells and looks better than indoor. AN bloom boosters (full lineup) made a huge duffe

30/09 Still going strong, I'am not totally sure but looks like this plant is having a slight mite invasion again despites the neem and potassic soap treatment.

Was doing main folding this whole time thinking it was LST but did it to encourage more equal canopy and chance for other bud site to become more dominant. Also it feeds about .8 gallon every 24of solution mix and some times water

Second week of flowering in the bag, and they’re all looking really healthy, even healthier than when I first threw them in the flower steady as she goes

I was trying to be artistic. I'm so stressed. I may roll another one. Unfortunately, I'm smoking medical cannabis. It tastes like shit. But, well few more weeks. End of poverty. More art is coming. Hopefully less weird. My hand is so shaky. Apologies for this, but the little camera compensates a bit. I did not play the music. Do you remember Napster? Well, come from there somehow. Appreciate

Hey there, fellow growers! 👋🌱 I hope you're all doing fantastic as we embark on week 4. 🌿✨ Once again, I'm working with Mephisto seeds, and just like before, they've begun flowering right on schedule. 🌼🕰️ It's truly mesmerizing how consistently they kickstart their blooming phase on week 4, precisely on day 22. ⏳🌸 My plants are thriving and looking absolutely splendid at the moment. 🌿😄 As I continue my journey with autos, I'm still fine-tuning their feeding regimen, steadily making progress. 💪🍃 The growth rate of these plants never ceases to amaze me. One strain that's capturing my attention is the magnificent Forgotten Cookies x Strawberry Nuggets. 🌱🌟 It has grown into an impressively huge specimen. And guess what? I still have three reserved seeds of this remarkable strain, patiently waiting for their turn in my next grow. 🌱🔒 Let's keep the spirit of the green thumb alive and vibrant as we share our experiences. 🌿🌱✨ I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing updates from each and every one of you! Happy growing, my fellow enthusiasts! 🌿🌱🌞 On day 26, I had a bit of a scare as I nearly lost three of my plants due to underwatering. 🌧️💦 However, I swiftly took action and adjusted my watering routine. Now, I'm giving each plant 1 liter of water, ensuring they receive the perfect amount of hydration. It's all about striking that delicate balance. 💧💚 Moving on to day 27, I'm happy to report that the plants are showing signs of improvement. I decided to raise the lights by 5cm, bringing them to a hanging height of 55cm from the plants. Additionally, I've increased the LED power to 100%. Notably, the Forum Stomper x Pink Panama and one of the Toof Decay x Walter White plants appear to be on the shorter side. Each plant has its own unique characteristics, adding an intriguing diversity to the garden. 🌿✨ Stay tuned for further updates. Happy growing, everyone 😎

Only keeping damp with water at the moment

Week 2 - Transplanting Transplanting is the second part of securing a solid foundation for the roots, by using the rock wool cubes I am providing to root ball with a headquarters. I use root excelurator in my feeding and soaking the Rockwool cube so you can expect a very healthy root system and by having a healthy root system you have bigger trees, thicker stems & bigger buds.

What a journey. Chopped on day 148 from seed. She did a comeback. The buds are very dense. Will update weight and journal once she's dried.

Update coming.
