So this was one of the runts. Smells great, decent quality, but super low yield. The nose is great! Has a wonderful bubble gum aroma!

Not going to go into much detail on the individual plants this week since there is nothing exciting to report. Only note this week is something we all pretty much know already. Organics and hydroponics dont play well together! I was using gringo Rasta calmag and it clogged all my feed lines. I ordered some calimagic so this wont be an issue anymore. Everyone is growing well and stretching quite a bit. I started spreading a couple of them into the scrog and gave them some maxibloom. I will increase it as I lower the maxigro over the next couple weeks. Pretty boring right now, but stick around a few weeks and that might change.

### Week 11 Update: Bubba Kush Needs Attention ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒŸ ### ๐ŸŒฑ Flowering Phase Continues ๐ŸŒฑ Welcome to Week 11! The plants are progressing well in their flowering stage, although Bubba Kush is showing some signs of distress. Letโ€™s dive into the current status and adjustments weโ€™re making. --- ### ๐ŸŒฟ Current Plant Status ๐ŸŒฟ **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze ๐ŸŒž** - **Growth:** Continuing to stretch, and the canopy is healthy and full. The plant has hit its peak height and is now focusing on flower development. - **Flowering Progress:** More pistils are forming, and the early buds are starting to swell slightly. Things are on track for strong flower development in the upcoming weeks. **Humboldt Seed Bubba Kush ๐ŸŒฟ** - **Growth:** The bushy structure remains, but the plant is showing signs of stress. This could be nutrient-related or environmental. - **Flowering Progress:** Bud development is slower compared to the other plants. Leaves may appear a bit droopy or discolored, suggesting nutrient uptake issues or overwatering. Weโ€™ll need to adjust feeding or check for root health. **Blueberry Muffin ๐Ÿฅž** - **Growth:** The canopy remains strong and dense, continuing to support flower production. The structure is ideal for the upcoming heavier buds. - **Flowering Progress:** Pistils and calyxes are developing rapidly. Bud sites are becoming more defined, and the plant is in a healthy flowering state. --- ### ๐ŸŒฑ Nutrient and Supplement Update ๐ŸŒฑ **Adjustments for Bubba Kush:** - Bubba Kushโ€™s slower progress and signs of stress could be caused by pH imbalances, nutrient lockout, or possible root issues. We'll do the following: - **Check pH levels** to ensure theyโ€™re in the optimal range (around 6.0โ€“6.5 for soil). - **Reduce watering frequency** if overwatering is suspected. - **Add a light flush** to ensure no nutrient buildup is affecting the roots. **Current Nutrient Regimen:** - **Power Roots (PLAGRON):** 1 ml/l to keep supporting root health. - **Pure Zym (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to aid root health and prevent any potential nutrient lockout. - **Terra Bloom (PLAGRON):** 2 ml/l to supply essential nutrients for flower development. - **Power Buds (PLAGRON):** 0.5 ml/l to help boost bud formation and density. - **Orgatrex (Bio Tabs):** 2 ml/l for a complete, balanced nutrient profile. --- ### ๐ŸŒฑ Environmental Conditions ๐ŸŒฑ **Temperature & Humidity:** - Temperature and humidity are being carefully managed to prevent mold and encourage strong flower development. Humidity may be slightly lowered for Bubba Kush if mold or rot is a concern. **Training & Defoliation:** - LST and selective defoliation continue for all plants except Bubba Kush, which will need gentler care until it rebounds. --- ### ๐ŸŒธ Looking Ahead ๐ŸŒธ While Super Lemon Haze and Blueberry Muffin are showing promising progress in the flowering stage, Bubba Kush requires close monitoring and some care adjustments to help it recover. Weโ€™ll pay attention to its nutrient and environmental needs to get it back on track. Next week, weโ€™ll assess how these changes affect Bubba Kushโ€™s health and check in on the overall flowering progress of the garden. Happy growing! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’š

And that's it. She probably could've gone a few days longer, but since the spider mites kept coming back and the plant just overall felt ready, I initiated the harvesting ritual. The buds are super sticky and

Itโ€™s been 7 days and one of my amnesia hazes is getting yellowish spots on it not 100% sure whatโ€™s the issue im going assume itโ€™s too much water? Confused cause the other have same soil and every same amount of water and donโ€™t have those issues I have the light right now about 1.5 ft away from the plants moved the light down I felt like they was stretching and becoming real skinny been keeping the temp about 75 and humidity somewhere around the 60% also I used fishshit today in the watering hopefully thatโ€™s helps The sour diesel Iโ€™m pretty sure I dropped the seed to deep my mistake so I removed a little soil until I seen top of it and now itโ€™s looking like it might make it it just a little behind the amnesia haze The two in red solo cups (black Truffles) are growing pretty fast looking bit better then the amnesia haze and I found them seeds lol anyway if you looking and see anything that could help (Please do!!!) also if your using ac Infinity controller 69 I need help!!! Today the first time I messed with it to make make the 18/6 schedule and not 100% sure if I did it right yet I wanted to make it on 5am-11pm off the other 6 I had it on 24/7 all last week and not sure is that caused the yellowing or not I doubt it but Iโ€™m NEW and Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™m a YouTube university grad ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But yea thanks for looking and Iโ€™ll try to post more day D14

๐ŸŒฑ Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! ๐ŸŒฟ Hey Grow Fam, We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming onโ€”buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold! The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used itโ€”she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :) But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone. To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! ( If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem) Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prizeโ€”beautiful healthy buds. We've got this! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ

Fo' Twenny here with an update on our little Gorilla x Cookies cultivar from Expert Seeds! 9/16 - Day 12: She is a beautiful shade of green and looks happy. I was one square pots short and when I bought this one, I accidentally got the 7" x 7" instead of the 6" x 6". It will bug me, because I am weird, but I planted her in it anyway. I put 1 tbsp Mycos, .5 tsp Recharge, and .25 tsp of Azos in the whole at the root zone. Sprinkled some White Dutch Clover seed after transplanting. Watered with plain water. BAD NEWS: Half of the blue diodes have gone out in the TMLAPY light. This light was actually gifted to me shortly after a friend purchased it from Amazon and realized it was too small for their space. It seemed to be serving it's purpose well for vegging photos and running bumper crops of autoflowers but it failed only four months after the warranty period ended! Weak-Sauce! GOOD NEWS: So, I upgraded the 24"x48" tent to Samsung LM301H boards. I ordered a 320w straight single piece heatsink with 3 boards from Geeklight. I went with the 3k spectrum and switchable UV/IR since all my autoflowers bloom under this light. $306 USD after all is said and done. https://app.alibaba.com/dynamiclink?touchId=1600101815945&type=product&schema=enalibaba%3A%2F%2Fdetail%3Fid%3D1600101815945%26ck%3Dshare_detail&ck=share_detail&shareScene=buyer 9/17 - Day 26: Installed new light NUTRITION: Mixing rundown Foliar Feed & Nutrient Solutiin 2 gal tap h2O run through x2 KDF filters Start ppm 630 Start ph 7.8 1 tsp/gal Gold Shield Silica Supplement 1 tsp/gal Fox Farm Gringo Rasta Cal-Mag 8.1 ph .33 tsp gal ph down pH: 6.5 PPM: 730 Serenade 3 tsp/gal (Always adjust pH prior to adding any microbial innocclants) Filled Spray bottle with 32 oz of the 2 gal mixed solution. Add 2 tsp/gal of Fox Farm Flower Kiss (.5 tsp 32oz) 6 tsp/gal Optic Foliar Transport PPM: 749 pH: 6.4 Added 1 tsp Recharge to the remainder of feed solution (to 1.75 gal) in the sprayer. Thanks for stopping by my garden! Please check out my other diaries & give me a follow! Happy growing my friends! โ˜บ๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Peace, โ˜ฎ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ Love, ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸคŸ & Frosty Nugs! โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฒ - Fo' Twenny

Still having loads of trouble with light burn / stressed out plants. Leaves pointing up, turning yellowish. Lights are now even at 80cm above plants, can hardly go any higher. I'm surprised, because the Hans Panel 180w is used at 30cm in numerous grow reports online with no issues. Must be the combination thats too much. 420 watts in a grow tent, and leaves are burning alive. If that ain't proof that LED's can't 'outperform' HPS ;) Does anyone have tips & tricks for making my plants healthy? It feels just silly to remove a light and continue with only 180 or 240 watts total.. Should I use CO2 tabs or something? Do they actually work at this point? Questions questions.

Smoke smell in curing jars. All have a peculiar smell. Sweet but not strong. When buds taken out no smell on collectively that they have a smell. Smoke it self is very very smooth the flushing must of done it good that's an assumption but the smoke it's grey/white a tinge of black The affects are very heavy no paranoia or anything just a good strong indica smoke RQS have done it again excellent smoke and happy growing I would recommend to anyone. Only thing is I would recommend to anyone is ALWAYS PH YOUR FEED. Everything must be ph'ed it saves you alot of time and makes sure your girls are catered for. Perhaps another time I would use rooting enhancement as there wasn't a lot of roots like I was expecting Happy smoking all PS. The light was 240w So that's 0.44 gram per watt. Probably could of done bette had the small potted one been in a 40L as well.

One of my favourite plants to grow so far. I learned a TREMENDOUS amount, especially all the ins and outs of supercropping. Although I did end up breaking my stalk, she turned out quite nice! I can definitely see myself supercropping plants in the future just to play around. The terpenes are also really nice on this girl. I can't wait to make some bubble hash and rosin. And I generally can't wait to grow this girl again knowing what she needs now in terms of training. Will also be nice to see the difference with organic dry amendments vs the FF wet nutrients I used.
