Actually using dry amendments and pH water

Apr 11 The plant is now actively sacrificing lower, less important leaves. I've used flexible garden wire to separate the side colas from the main cola to help light get in. Things are fattening up and trichomes are developing.

Once again, this week starts where the former one ended. With the exception of all the cables you can see in the first picture. I dared to install a minimalized version of the Raspi control only controlling the self-built humidifier and one blower/fan combination. I was very pleased to see how easily the simple diffusor can hold optimum VPD as long as temperatures are high and humidity tends to fall below optimum VPD. A single 10 seconds evaporation can hold the level for about 2–3 minutes. I am not pleased to see the Monsanto blowers rather underperform. It’s impossible to reduce humidity or temperature with both running on full speed, while a lifting of the tent door will bring immediate changes. With the Raspi/Arduino success so far*, I am thinking about using old Power Mac fans which are WCM controllable and use 12 V. At least one to increase air intake, and maybe even the blowers. * It wasn’t any problem at all to have the Arduino collect CO2 and soil moisture data, so after some more cable manufacturing (aka helpless soldering), I could extend the Raspi control. I’m still uncertain about the camera module (@trelorny impressed me with his time lapse videos). I don’t want to put the hardware into the tent with its not so electronics friendly climate, already risking some rare outages of the temp/hum sensor. But the camera module cannot be placed far away. So maybe I’ll use the 3A model I own as a spare part as a camera driver. Any maybe, if it works, invest in a better camera module. Mine is generation 1. Oh, and the ladies! Gave them slightly fertilised water yesterday, and even it or the better VPD yesterday or a combination of both make me believe bud growth is a bit more visible today. The smell in the morning when I open the tent to release accumulated humidity is outstanding. They were already thirsty on day 57 again, so pure RO + a bit of tap water until it spilled out of their pot’s bottoms. Many fan leaves turning autumnally now, and the smallest Sherbet suffered a bit from over-fertilisation as I wrote. But it this stage I don’t go for leaf beauty anymore. Just another learning: Don’t use differently sized pots anymore. Hard to feed them individually this way. VPD was mostly in best range yesterday, and I have the feeling it really supports their bud growth. I added an "Evening time" option to my Raspi control that allows the humidity to sink a selected time before lights shut down. That made it possible to have humidity in best range for most of the night time too. They were even dry again on day 58 morning. Another time just water. The blowers cannot cope with the flowers’ smell anymore, and so sometimes my flat cannot hide who shares it with me. Day 60 presents me with a problem: I’ll leave on Friday for a few days. Considering the microscope pictures are not from the tops buds: Would you say it’s safe to give them another week? Problem solved on day 61. Only clean water from now on, and next week will be their last. You won’t see any new pictures for some days now. Me too … Something I wanted to share with you before I leave: I just finished to update my grow box control with a new PWM fan hat that keeps the Raspi cool, while at the same an infrared sensor can now measure real leaf and additional ambient temperature. Setup is much cleaner and more robust now, but I wish my flux would not make the solder stick to the tip of the machine instead of making it flow and stick at the tiny tiny spots I have to hit …

Did a bigger defol. Adjusted the trellis. May or may not have been watering with too high of ph (7.2) so hopefully microbes have been doing their job.

So.... as you guys can see above i HAD to go brutal with this lady applying the "SuperCropping" technique, im not gonna lie that i was very worried since i had stress out the plant just a few day before this with heavy lollipopping and defoliation, but i had no other choice, the plant was still going up, no matter what hahah, she is a REAL BEAST, and it does not matter what i do she still want to be hugging the light hahaha, im FKD, but whatever lets see how this goes!! the recover was super fast, amazing how she just did almost not care at all with all the pinching and breaking of the stems and went right back up!! stay tuned

This week has been awesome. Reservoir has been lasting is pretty well these 3weeks. I filled it with 10gals and have not had to top it up. Dropped the trellis net on the girls to get her to open up more, I will be adding 1-2 more layers of trellis just in case when we flower we make sure to really spread them out. I’m really loving this Autopot 10gals has really gone a long way I just make sure to check the ph and we are good. Next week I’ll be flipping so you will get to see what she looked like before the flip. Thank you all again for watching. See you all next week.

My first grow has been a great learning experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the reliable BioBizz soil and nutrients to the impressive performance of the Spider Farmer SF 1000, everything worked well together. Each component contributed to a successful harvest, and I’m excited to continue experimenting and improving my setup with new gear and techniques.💚

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12. Hi everyone 😀. It has a very nice stretch and is developing really well :-). Yesterday I got her GHSC Powder Feeding Bio Bloom for the first time given (2 g GHSC to 1 l coco). In 14 - 20 days she will get another 1 g per l coco. It was poured twice this week with 1.2 l each. Otherwise the tent was cleaned and everything was refilled.

El día 27 de floración se vuelve a podar brotes bajos y se colocan tutores de varas 👍🍀

08/03/21: Week 8!!! Her color is finally starting fade (about time lol) we're hoping she flushes fast from here.. we poked around and seeds don't seem to be as big an issue as once thought..her buds have swelled noticeably in the last 3 days, trichs are mostly cloudy..she's getting close 💪🐱💡🌱 08/05/21: We purchased another new 315watt CMH to replace the 630watt that has been blowing bulbs (we were only running1 bulb in it lately)..the plants seem to do better for us with x2 315 lights spread out than 2 bulbs under the same hood..I'm really liking the wider spacing the clones have, they just finished their flower stretch under 315watts and the nodes are about 2-3 inches apart and not stacked tight like they usually were..we may buy another one of these lights just to have on hand...feel free to leave a comment or any suggestions that might help us improve, thank you for reading and happy growing everyone ❤️💡🌱🐈

I converted an old cloning machine I had DIY constructed a few years ago into being able to do clones still and also start seeds in peat moss pellets. Hopefully it will work as good as it did for my clones, I had 100% success rate for clones in it before. I have 3 Obi-Wan Kush seeds that sat in a cup of water overnight and then put in the peat moss pellets Into the cloning machine. It is sitting in 24 dark untill the seedlings emerge. I am starting them in my veg tent that is 4’x4’ under a Morsen 1000w(170w true power) LED. I will be moving them to 3gal DWC buckets when they are done rooting in my machine and add another 1000w Morsen LED. We will veg in this tent for approx 4-6 weeks before moving them to my flower tent with a 1000w HPS on a light mover in a 4’x8’ tent with a 5gal RDWC setup. I have grown this strain before from Canuck Seeds and it is one of my favourites to grow and smoke. ****update: so the peat moss pellets where a bust in the cloning machine so far...lol They where just to wet and where probably starting to drown the seeds. So I took them out and have them in a seedling tray drying out. I Will just be putting them in my DWC starter buckets once they sprout up.

01/01/2022 Potting up and amending with 5-2-4 to give a little kick before mid flower #6 is first girl to show herself, also got two different males and only difference is that one is lighter green and other darker green (also dark green one seems to drink more than lighter green) 💚. Other than that structure is very similar I wonder which is a better breeding male? I guess I might pollinate and LABEL TWO BRANCHES ON each female one for each male. and find out.🙏🏻 01/06/2022 #3 showed today, reppoted and into flowering closet, along with#6,who showed earlier this week lights at 14-10 see how they respond to that schedule, which should help use up the 5-2-4 going into week 3 should help with her stretch. Which isn't really that much I believe maybe double her current height, which I will check at lights on.Week ,#3 if I think of it I'll give a good fungal dominant tea.

Succesfully trained plants for an eve n canopy. All plants are 30 days old from seed. Trellis net is great addition for bending stems giving them more uniformed lighting, using them for mid veg stage since the branch is flexible and the trellis net sets a good line measurement for popcorn buds removal during preflower. Looking forward for preflower.

2 días entre servilletas y al sustrato. Aprox 12 hrs en obscuridad y se comienza el ciclo lumínico 👌👊👨‍🌾🏻

Let me just say I Am so fu***** mad. I should not have kept the blueberry clone knowing that the mother hermied a little... this god damn plant RUINED MY WHOLE GROWWWW that is why I haven’t posted .. for the last couple weeks I’ve been flushing all my girls because they aren’t my little girls anymore 😕 they all got seeds and I’m not talking a little bit .. I am finding them in almost every bud and it’s so sad because these wet betty’s were beautiful and soooo smelly and yummy I lost so much money and time ... well you win some you lose some ... but let me tell you this next run is going to be beautiful 🌹🌹 I cant wait to show you guys what’s next

Hello everyone,! brother farmers! welcome back to the beautiful flower gardens of Peaky these girls are really very sexy even if the tent is very small they continue to explode shoots everywhere some burn from led ... but nothing so serious

This first week of flower was entirely uneventful.

A beautifull Week 5 is behind us... She is going FANTASTIC for an legal BIO grow... Amazing branches and BIG size from BIG Seedbank...💪💪👌👆 Great genetics... I hope she keeps going like this... fingers crossed..🙏
