July 7, 2024 Day 78
This week we switch to Overdrive and stop the Big Bud. It's the last 2 weeks of flower and then a week of flush. Then 2 weeks of drying and then about 3 to 4 weeks of curing. after that, I can smoke it. Lol.
All 4 ladies got a half gallon top feed with just recharge, and the reservoirs refilled with the new nutrients. I was going to water until runoff, but I think it's just a waste at this point. Plus bottom feeding doesn't require runoff. Depending on how they feel tomorrow, I might add the other half gallon to each and get that runoff. Or very close to it.
Sour Diesel A has started picking up the pace with drinking. She is drinking just as much as C and D. Super frosty and starting to really pack on the weight. A couple branches are starting to sway at the slightest touch. Hopefully the heavy buds won't pull the branch down.
Sour Diesel B is looking great! A little bit of foxtailing and larf on the bottoms, but the tops look great! Tons of bud and big buds to boot.
Sour Diesel C is also swaying a bit at the slightest touch. I expect that from her. Her branches are strong but thin and long. Her buds definitely didn't swell up like B and D, but they are solid and covered in trichomes.
Sour Diesel D was the dry one this week. I ended up dumping the whole reservoir from the other day so I could start the new regimen. She was dry and anaerobic for a bit. The half gallon of top feed really helped. It took some time to get it all wet, but in the end, the half gallon seems to be fine.
The environment is still high humidity in the morning and lower when the AC kicks on. Currently it's 81° outside and the temp in the tent is 75°. But with my personal AC on, it drives the humidity way up. Currently it's at 62% in the tent. It'll probably climb even more now that I watered everyone.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.6°
RH: 58.0%
VPD: 1.24 kPa

Not much going on today. All 4 ladies have their water and feel good.
Sour Diesel A looks great! As usual, frosty and smelly as ever.
Sour Diesel B has slightly canoeing leaves. They are also starting to brighten up. Must be getting close to the end.
Sour Diesel C has drooping leaves. Not sure why. I'll have to research.
Sour Diesel D is looking super good. Lush green leaves. Huge main cola and more frost.
The environment is the same as yesterday. High humidity, but somehow today it's below 60%. Hopefully it will go below 50% this afternoon.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.6°
RH: 57.5%

It's picture day! Not much else going on though. Just a check up on the plants and that's it.
Sour Diesel A looks great! One issue I know I'm going to run into is sagging branches. One of her branches already needed to be pulled back up and tied to a bigger branch. The buds just weight a lot for the branch. Funny though, I've been using silica and that should have strengthened the branches. Not that they are super weak, but they are thin. I'll have to keep an eye on her.
Sour Diesel B is outstanding. Huge solid buds. Tons of frosty frost. I'll probably start checking trichomes next week. It's too early to see anything significant.
Sour Diesel C is a little lighter than the other 3. She also has some seriously droopy leaves and I have no idea why. I don't think it's a lighting issue. Underwatering could also be a thing, but she got top fed 2 days ago as well as the bottom feed system. It's moist, but definitely not as wet as I would have hoped on the bottom. I think I'm going to actually have to water to runoff with her. I don't really know what else to do.
Sour Diesel D is looking good as well. Super fat buds and super hard to boot. And it hasn't even been 3 days of the Overdrive. I can only imagine how hard the buds will be at the end.
The environment is starting to calm down a bit. Unfortunately I have to keep my crap ass AC on and it's bringing in humidity as always. So the humidity in the tent is around 59% to 60%.
The temp was high this morning at 80°. A bit warm for this stage. It should be around 74° to 75°. But it's back to the mark now.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 76.1°
RH: 56.2%

July 10, 2024
Watered all 4 ladies today. Each got a half gallon full nutrients with Recharge. Only 1 needed to get a reservoir refill.
Sour Diesel A is looking super good. I had to tie another branch up today. The frost on her buds is super insane. I'm loving it. I'm sure there is better frosty plants, but this is awesome.
Sour Diesel B is looking super good. Her leaves are canoeing and starting to point up. A sure sign she's starting to finish up. She also has 1 purple sugar leaf. So it looks like the fade is also starting as well.
Sour Diesel C is looking kind of weird. Her top fan leaves are droopy and the bottoms are fine. But it's only the big top leaves. Strange indeed. If anyone is reading this, any insights? Comment below with what you think it may be.
Sour Diesel D is super frosty as well. Her buds are massive and heavy. It seems like her side branches are starting to get weighed down a little bit. She's not even close to fading, but her leaves are a beautiful lush green. She needed a full reservoir top off today. The rest are about half empty now.
It's super humid today. 79% outside. Her temp is still right where it needs to be, but the humidity is higher than it has been lately. Obviously due to the super humid day.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 74.4°
RH: 58.7%
VPD: 1.17 kPa

It's picture day! Not much going on today.
Sour Diesel A is looking really good with her super frosty buds. She seems to be holding the water from yesterday and also trimming from the reservoir. Looking good.
Sour Diesel B is amazing. Her buds are all dense and bright green like Sour Diesel is supposed to be. She's super frosty, but she is also canoeing. Not sure why. Maybe too much light? I doubt it though. The DLI is around 45 mol/m²/d.
Sour Diesel C needed more water. She was already half the weight she was yesterday after watering. She's also drinking the reservoir. So she got another half gallon top feed today. I even got some runoff. She should be good for the next couple of days. Her buds are super frosty, just like A. Honestly, I think they are the same phenotype. I thought A was more similar to B in the beginning of the grow, but the bud structure and leaves are all the same between A and C. Smaller tight buds. Tons and tons of frost.
Sour Diesel D is looking pretty good. I really wish she had taken off like she should have. I expected a much taller plant without training. It's fine though. The massive cola is making up for it. Maybe it will be a 2 oz cola. Lol.
The environment is still a mess. It's rainy and humid today, but not too warm. The humidity in the tent currently is 66%. Ridiculously high. The temp is around 79 for now. I need to turn my AC back on I think and just deal with the humidity. The temp can't stay over 78° if I want super frosty buds.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.6°
RH: 60.2%

Not much going on today. Just the daily picture. Some observation and that's about it. No watering is needed and the reservoirs are all filled with water.
Sour Diesel A is looking great! Her buds are definitely getting super fat and swelling up. A couple tops are making little flowers all around. It makes them look even fatter.
Sour Diesel B is happily starting the fade. Just one leaf for now, but the rest aren't far behind. I'm guessing over the next week, we will get a beautiful fade. Hopefully the buds stay lime green. They are so pretty.
Sour Diesel C is looking good as well. The top leaves are still drooping, but not quite as bad as they were yesterday. I'm guessing it's a mix of underwatering and nutrient deficiency. Which nutrient, I don't know. But the top feed was the full nutrient regimen. So she should be good.
Sour Diesel D is looking super hefty. She has plenty of water and is super a healthy green. No fade though. It's only B that's fading.
A note about the lighting. I'm going to check the DLI. It should be at 45 mol/m²/d. That's the deepest red spectrum I can pull out of my light. I think I now understand the difference in wattage for wavelength. I'll learn more about this for future runs. I think I'm fine, but if I'm right, I may be able to increase the power back up to 80%, but we will see. I do t have room for the light to go up anymore, so I have to be really careful. Unless I decide to put the exhaust fan outside of the tent. Then I'll have about 6 inches of space. That may be the best plan of action if need be. The light is still 22" from the main canopy. Bringing it up to 28" will give me the ability to increase the power and get the lowers lit up as well. The supplemental lighting is or isn't working. I honestly cannot tell. I really wish I had added the bars in again weeks ago. It's too late now. I just don't have the want to do it.
The environment was way off this morning. The temp was at 78° and the humidity at 66%. So I turned my AC on and dropped the temp back down to 76° but the humidity stayed roughly the same. Now the central air kicked on so the humidity should drop fairly quickly for the rest of the day.
Grow System Environment:
Temp: 75.4°
RH: 62.7%

Picture Day! And this week's video.
Sour Diesel A looking really good. Super dense buds and tons of frost. Not much else to do. Her reservoir should be empty tomorrow. If not later tonight.
Sour Diesel B is definitely starting to fade. Her leaves are rapidly changing color all over. Not much, but you can absolutely tell she will have a really nice fade in the end.
Sour Diesel C emptied her reservoir pretty quickly and is still holding her weight. What that means is the plant is finally drinking. I added the rest of the half gallon from the other day. The half gallon should line up with the rest of the reservoirs.
Sour Diesel D has this stupidly massive cola for the size of the plant. Her color is still a super lush green. The frost is pretty good, but still not as good as A and C, but she has the largest cola of the bunch. Not as many colas as the rest, but still the biggest.
The environment is still just a mess. Mornings suck. Currently the humidity is at 62% with a near perfect 76°. The humidity will of course drop down in an hour or 2.

I finally had some time to harvest everything, left her for 2 days in the dark in a vase.
The smell was so intense in comparison to the painkiller. Since it rained a lot there was some bud rot but I guess that was inevitable.
The honey cream still grows strong has no bud rot since the buds seem fluffy enough for a good airflow.

I had fun with this barneys gorilla zkittlez, although it seems like it was ready around 7 weeks, its as if the plant has been in the early stages of self seeding when I've harvested on day 54~ of flower.. Can't think any other reason why this would've happened
Anyway overall the bud is 95% amazing, just a slight sadness at the miniscule seeds forming close to the stems in the centre of some buds that takes away from the taste a little

The calmag deficiency has improved significantly and the plants are now putting all their energy into the flowers.
In the meantime, no new eggs are forming, which makes us very happy :)

FINAL WEEK! 14!!!! Lets go!
I will start off by saying I am totally blown away with these plants! Not only did they grow way taller than expected, they performed very well considering my goof ups. The photos posted are the final stage of these plants, week 14.
ILGM has really awesome genetics with these White Widow Autos. Each plant may have grown very differently but I predict they will all have high yields! They flourished using 100% dry organics but it would be interesting to see how they do using bottled nutrients or even synthetic.
This will be my last flowering post before harvest details. All 5 plants were chopped on 5/6. I lightly wet trimmed and hung them all to dry in 50-55% RH back into the original tent. For final wet and dry weights I will post that all in my final harvest. Drying time may take 7 or more days. The final yield may surprise you!
Stay tuned!
Happy growing 😊

Maturing fast.
Some botrytis unfortunately . Have to dig in to incoming air filtration to limit spores.
Ac infinity terraform just been released maybe it could help with more sterile air.

I finally started flowering the crescendo rbx1 and I’ve got to say, she looks great! Green stems and leaves. She fills out this 5x5 pretty well and I’m happy with it.
Plucked a couple leaves that blocked prime bud sites and weaved her long arms outwards to fill up my tent and get more light penetration.

- lock outs
- dimmed light and nutes again drastically
____________________________________________
light- and watering schedule: see photos
now:
12 plants
2 x Auto Orange Bud > Dutch Passion (early80's)
2 x Haze Berry Automatic > Royal Queen Seeds (2018)
2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's)
2 x Original Auto BubbleGum > Fast Buds Company (late 80's)
1 x Strawberry Pie Auto > Fast Buds Company
1 x Gorilla Cookies Auto Seed Stockers (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud > Female Seeds
setup + strategy:
18 seeds
3 x Auto Orange Bud (early80's)
3 x Haze Berry Automatic (2018)
3 x Auto Euforia (late 90's)
2 x Auto Bubblegum > TH Seeds (late 80's)
2 x Auto Bubblegum > Fast Butts (late 80's)
2 x Strawberry Pie Auto
1 x Gorilla-Cookies Auto (2015)
2 x Auto White Widow x Big Bud
setup:
18 x gronest 2 liter
60 cm x 120 cm x 180 cm (2 x 4) growtent
4 l humidifier
25 watt axial fan
15 watt clip fan
ro-filter
bath room with a 50 watts room fan (-> carbon filter not necessary)
...and a lot of odds and ends.
grow strategy:
max yield by stressing with:
1. tiny shoes (2 l fabric pots standing on 3 plastic rings (4 cm) for max oxygen)
2. tiny growspace (18plants on 0.72 sqm)
3. many strains (8 strains)
4. annoying neighbourhood (mixing old - i.e. bubblegum (late 80's) - with young- i.e. hazeberry (2018) - genetics)
5. no stress by light or food or water
6. unintentionally too much food
plus:
- no lst - no hst - just leaf tucking
- positioning bigger strains (euphoria, orange bud, haze berry) or just bigger phenos on less intense light spots (end of tent + edges)
- music-rotation: 24 hrs reggae (for sativas) - 24 hrs classicals (because it's scientifically proofed) - 24 hrs traditionals from the hindukush region (for the indicas)
max efficiency (min electricity - max yield):
- light: 23 h on - 1 h off
- keeping the distance of 18" (45 cm) and dimming to the right par (lux) - value depending on growing stages (see sheet: beginning 185 par ( 10000 lux/100 watt )/end 340 par ( 18000 lux/175 watt )) => ends up in approx. 170 watts in average over max 15 weeks
temperatur management:
- using approx. max. half of what the lamp can do keeps temperature low:
my tsl 2000 is pulling max. 360 watts of the wall - i need only 175 watts, results in less temperature than using a 175 watts lamp
- adjusting the temperature by using a humidifier outside of tent:
blown in humidity is soaking degrees and is transported out by fan, works much better than doing the same with pure air
summer extreme: no humidifier: 36°C / 35 rh - with humidifier: 29°C / 65 rh
works for 1-2 weeks of real hot summer days, no mould, no signs of stress in two summers
germination:
seeding in waterglass
spraying "basic"-water: ro-water (22 ppm) + calmag to 180 ppm every 4 - 8 hours until sprouted
man versus fungus gnat:
5 days before seeding i'm running the tent with "basic"-watered pots as if there were plants inside - led on, fans on, humidifier on. Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;)
rotating harvest:
the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in...
nutes:
biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix
bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic
+ aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive)
individual feeding schedule/once a week:
veg: 200 - 600 ppm
bloom: 600 - 900 ppm
water:
ro-water with:
veg: 100-150 ppm calmag
bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de esta Panty Punch de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo.
No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas.
Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y son bien prietas, aparte son súper aromáticas huelen mucho.
(COLOQUEN UN BUEN FILTRO PARA EL OLOR).
a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, la genética es perfecta para SOG y es bien vigorosa, es muy fácil cultivarla y muy resistente merece la pena si eres cultivador principiante.
Hasta aquí es todo, espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

2 rez top ups last week and a fully change today. Girls are thirsty and starting to really full out which is exciting me beyond examine.
WG 1 and the Haze 2 are some of the best trees I've grown.
The Wedding Gelato strain is really easy to grow and to be honest hasn't needed much from me apart from some LST and defoliation in weeks 1 and 3 of flower.
Smelling soo good and sticky as hell, definitely going to make bubbke hash from the sugar leaf and press that shit.

Hi all,
Grow area updates:
Nothing major far as area is concerned added Some yoyo’s to the net so it can be raised and lowered easily now. I also noticed I had been following ghp feeding schedule for a recirculating system when mine is drain to waste. Didn’t have in adverse effects on the plants at all actually think they loved it tbh. But I’ll notice the ppm difference on these future updates. I was using way more nutrients then what was needed. Now I get to save money lol.
Blue dream auto:
Def has the faint smell of flowering cannabis now. The branching power from the mixing blue dream and already branchy plant with the ruderalis is def perfect for a scrog set up when you trying to maximize the your yield off one plant. I had to visit the tent 3 times this week to re tuck her down. Did the last tuck Thursday so what you are seeing from the pics today is three days of growth. Crazy!!!! She sitting at about 900 ppm And that’s with cutting the the grow solution some.
Master kush photo:
She popped through the net mid this week and hit her first tuck under today. With how well she reacted to the femm job. I went ahead and topped on the new growth on each branch. Her branch structure is way more sturdy then autos for sure. Leaves are bigger as well. One is the size of my palm lol I have big hands so that’s awesome. She sitting at about 800 ppm and getting less bloom solution.
I’d also like to add I appreciate everyone’s advice far as set up and temp control. It was above 100°F the last couple days. And tent never got over 85 and as soon as the hotter part of the day was over we where back in the 70’s. Ima smoke one for y’all! 🤘🏾 Until next time #StayKited

📆 Semana 3:
Esta variedad sera un cultivo mixto, interior y exterior para ver todo su poderio em ambos lugares.
Ha sido una buena semana en la que han dado un gran cambio en sus lugares definitivo 😎.
Se le ha aplicado un tratamiento insecticida con agua + tierra de diatomeas ( 1 cucharadita por litro de agua), también se le aplica un tratamiento fungicida con una infusión de cola de caballo para evitar futuro moho.
A partir de ahora se aplica riego por goteo, 1/3 de la dosis recomendada por el fabricante ya que al estar en exterior y en buena tierra tiene bastante comida.
En interior seguira el mismo plan nutricional que el resto, ajustando sus dosis de nutrientes segun sean requeridos.
Potencia de la lámpara: 60% , se conecta el Marshydro TS-1000 para dar apoyo en la carpa de 1.50 x 1.50 x 1.50
