Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Seguimos regando solo con agua esperando que quede lo mas limpia posible. Ya es cosa de dias la fecha de corte. Esperare a que se seque el sustrato y terminaré este cultivo para posteriormente ponerme a darle un buen curado. Muy contento con esta cepa de @sweetseeds 💪👨‍🌾

29/3 the grapefruit is coming along nicely, buds actually smell like grapefruit! Lsd is so impressive! it’s on fire! The west coast ogs are still quite a bit behind..looking online, a lot of people seem to get these buds growing huge! Hopefully they get there.. BCN critical xxl popped 1 day after the LSD but has been the slowest to flower..It's just going into flower now. Light has been at 75% for the last week or so and is at around 23inches above. Have been feeding all plants alternating water/feed/water/feed 1 litre every 2-3 days. So far so good! 4/4 bcn critical xxl isn’t looking very happy at all..she’s fully flowering now but all of her new growth has been loooking droopy for the last week…not too sure what’s up there..

Plants are doing well, The 84" inch tent is a must if your not training or topping. I removed all the sacks that appeared last week and I haven't seen anymore show up so fingers cross, I check daily. Bigger tent also helps with heat control as the air has more room to rise. Hope you all like the pictures, I started to take videos as they provide more detail with less work.

PORTUGUÊS / BRASIL Deixei ela meio largada, vivendo por conta no sol. Ela tem pegado tempo forte, chuva forte, sol forte, frio e segue firme. Ainda estou com o mesmo problema das moscas brancas. Elas não param. Tenho pulverizado um pouco de agua com vinagre e sabão para eliminar, mas me sinto mal de estar jogando sabão. Não sei se o sabão ou o vinagre reagem com os tricomas. se você sabe, me avisa por favor. Uma coisa que tenho achado incrível dela (a primeira que plantei não ficou assim, e nem um terceira que foi plantada junto desta), ela ficou com um roxo escuro bonito demais e está começando a ficar mais densa, pesada. Nas fotos e vídeos dá pra ver as cores bem, assim como as marcas das moscas brancas em todas as folhas. Uma coisa que fiz foi adicionar um pouco de NPK 4 14 10. O motivo é que tenho outra de mesma idade e que passou por uns sufocos no início (nasceu de raiz pra cima e depois o cachorro ainda arrancou, milagre estar viva), como a colheita tava prejudicada, fiquei com menos medo e dó de testar então aqui eu adicionei bastante NPK mesmo em cima do meu solo super rico. A planta não reclamou, não torceu folhas e nem mudou coloração. Entendi como uma aprovação de que ainda posso adicionar NPK mesmo em cima do meu solo e que preciso revisar a mistura da próxima vez para colocar ainda mais nutriente. Acho que ela ainda tem fácil mais de 30 dias pela frente. Ela está com 68 dias ENGLISH I left her a bit abandoned, living on her own in the sun. It has been experiencing strong weather, heavy rain, strong sun, cold and is still going strong. I still have the same problem with whiteflies. They don't stop. I have been spraying some water with vinegar and soap to eliminate it, but I feel bad about throwing soap. I don't know if soap or vinegar react with trichomes. If you do, PLEASE let me know! One thing I've found incredible about it (the first one I planted didn't look like this, nor did a third one that was planted at the same time as this one), it turned a really beautiful dark purple and is starting to get denser, heavier. In the photos and videos you can see the colors well, as well as the whitefly marks on all the leaves. One thing I did was add a little NPK 4 14 10. The reason is that I have another girl of the same age who went through some hardships at the beginning (she was born with the roots going up and then the dog took it from the pot, it is a miracle that she's alive). My thought was that since the harvest was affected, I was less afraid and worried about testing things. So I added a lot of NPK even on top of my super rich soil. The plant did not complain, did not twist leaves or had color changes. I took it as an approval that I can still add NPK even on top of my soil and that I need to revise the mixture next time to add even more nutrients. I think she still has easily more than 30 days to go. She is 68 days old Dia 30 de janeiro 2024

Week 4 flower : everything’s looking nice still got the lights about 7-9” from top of canopy without any issues . The humidity has gone up to 50% in day and I can’t really get it any lower I’ve already got a dehumidifier so don’t want to get another one . I would like to lower to 40-45% and lower for last 2 weeks but can’t see that happening . I’ve started the pk from end of week 4 (day 28 )at 1ml per litre this took my ec to 2.2 I will see how it goes and maybe up it to 1.2-1.5 and I’m going to use the pk for 7-14 days then I will start the flush I also lowered the silicone to 0.5ml per litre 3x blue cheese plants are on the left but has spread over and 1x sunset sherbet on the right

🍀21/07 - Ya se encuentra en etapa de secado. 🍀En el lavado de raíz le agregue 30L de agua con 10ml de Top Wash, las ultimas lavadas ya el agua de la maceta salia transparente. 🍀A la hora de cortarla largaba mucho olor a dulce, los cocos todos llenos de resina y muy pegajosos. 🍀La gran mayoría de los cogollos son grandes y densos, muy poca cantidad de cocos chicos. 🍀Es una planta espectacular, no tuve ningún problema en toda su etapa, creció perfecta. 🍀La voy a dejar los días necesarios para que pueda secarse, ya compre sobres de humedad para el próximo paso que seria el curado. 🍀Dio un total de 165g, en un indoor de 60x60 y con luz led de 150w. 🍀En estos días seguiré subiendo mas imágenes de como viene. 🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷Podes seguirme Insta gram como @bruweed_arg🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷

Both shot up in size over the past week or two, ones at 113cm other now at 130cm, tallest has been bent over and tied down to hopefully stop the growth, coming along well now and can't wait for the next few weeks to pass, First ever grow only done LST on 1 plant let the other grow naturally but put a few ties on it this week to get more light exposure as it seems way behind the other and there is only actually about 2 days in them, what are peoples thoughts on how its looking? Thanks
