Really hot. Using more water. About 2 gallons a day each pot. Watering daily. Summer peak hits in the next month, then comes the wind down to the season...from September to Croptober. I don't see as much stretching as I see buds coming in right now, which is really exciting. Wind: I usually experience strong winds for the end of August and start of September. This means that I am taking the canopy down and letting the sun hit the plants with all its force for the remainder of the season. More water means fatter nugs. Nutrients: Day 105 - 21 August 2024 - Added 1 cup Bud Candy and 1/2 cup Overdrive from AN, then added 2 gallons of water in a large watering can. I let that sit for 2-3 hours, then I add it equally to the four pots. I'm alternating this and kelp meal biweekly from Down to Earth (every 2 weeks). This recipe is gentle and it works for me. Thank you to all following the grow. Straight up... each plant looks a little different - my guess it's because of all the crosses behind the genetics. Basically looks a little Malawi, a little tropicanny, a little cookie, and sour orangey for sure. I don't care for a stable line where all the plants look homogenous (basically the same, I may have messed up the description) - I just want something that will have a good end product and these plants all look fine to me. Now I just have to be vigilant so that the caterpillars don't destroy all the flowers. It's a bit nerve wrecking, but I'm committed to not using pesticides or insecticides - organic or not. I'm also considering washing the herb at harvest--that's got me a little nervous also because it gets really humid around harvest time, but all the testimonials and videos I've researched all seem to agree that it does not affect the end quality in terms of effect since THC is basically water resistant, not water soluble or something--i'm thinking water hash in my head to comprehend the science a little better. That's it. Just a few more weeks to go. About 8.

Both plants looks pretty but they are showing some yellow/brown spots on fan leaves, so i guess the nutrients are too strong and decided to give them half of the recomendation. Also added some Hesi Boost hoping it is a good idea. Just now i can feel their smell, it is nice but not strong. I have no clue about when to harvest them but it seems like at least two weeks more. 😸

Plant is growing well. Has weird black dots I think related to PH. I think the switch from whatever they had her on to living soil is just shocking her with the change in PH. I expect a recovery within the next week or so. I noticed an absolute ton of mites in the soil. They had to of come with the clone, does anyone know if these are beneficial? Been 12 days cooking the 3.0 top dress so I threw on two pounds of worms castings and transplanted. I also planted a ton of white Dutch clover seeds around the plant. Happy growing and god bless guys!

start of week 4: i cut off the fanleaves to give the stems light. a day after that there is still water drooping out of the cuts like it doesnt heal ? weird. it has been a bit cold at night, the humidity also swings a lot but they grow, when the lights go out leaves curl up like they are freezing. the video here is when the lights have been on for 8hours already, when they in the dark they look dead lol

Day 60: Week 4 of flowering! She is still taking heavy feeding and looks very healthy. Some leaves at the very top tacoed a bit. She grew tall and a bit close to the light but no big deal, she is handling it well. Im still not sure if letting her grow more internodal space was a good idea. I believe she is getting more light in between branches and growing larger buds than the Tangie because of this. I'll wait to the harvest to compare both results. Day 63: Watered with Plagron Bloom, Bud Candy, enzymes and a little bit of CalMag. There is a little bit of wind burn on one of the lower fan leaves but it is expected since my intake is right in that corner. She stopped stretching and her buds are becoming bigger and bigger!

Vamos finalizamos la quinta semana de estas Blue Spider de ZambezaSeeds. Una tiene alguna carencia las otras 2 no van mal tienen buen color y El Progreso de formación de las flores es el correcto también en las 2 sanas la otra si se nota que la carencia afecta algo al engorde a si que a ver si soluciono el problema. Por lo demás bien vamos viendo el proceso estas últimas semanas. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

Ahora si estamos actualizados growers!! ultima semana de crecimiento, numero 4 con 27 días. Decidí cambiar a 7L en lugar de 3,5L buscando que ensanchen un poco mas y me den un par de esquejer cada una para la seleccion. 4ª Semana 24-10-2018 Riego foliar de fitofotificante ecológico Superkukulus 2mlxL Riego con 1mlxL de Voodoo, 1mlxL de Sensi Grow A+B 1mlxL de Rhino Skin y 1mlxL de Tarántula. (En este riego habría quitado el Grow ya que para entrar en trasplante solo habría bastado con estimular con microorganismos y enraizante) 26-10-2018 Riego con 2mlxL de Voodoo y 2mlx10L de Root Stimulator de BAC Observaciones: A principios de semana se separaron para no hacerse competencia entre ellas por espacio, a los varios dias coloque las nuevas luminarias LEC 315w con 3100k a baja potencia, con el balastro regulable los coloco a 190w. Al siguiente dia el 26 realce el trasplante completo, descartando una Dinamed que se quedo pequeña, otra que tenia mancas y deformaciones y una Cándida CD-1 CBD también con deformaciones y espigamientos. Tome la segunda tanda de apuntes planta por planta, donde recojo información como, tamaño, carencias o excesos, ramificación, raíces.. todo lo que pueda reunir de cada planta. trasplantamos y vamos subiendo a potencia de la luminaria hasta el dia 1 de floracion que comenzaran a 315w de potencia. Se riegan a PH 6 con estimulador de raíces y voodoo. Comienzan a bajar las temperaturas por aquí y a la noche están a unos 18 grados, coloco un termostato para que funcione el extractor a media potencia mientras la temperatura no supere los 26 grados, aunque no supera mas de 24 sin tener puesta intracción. De nuevo gracias a los growers y a los creadores de esta plataforma que es un autentico regalo! me ayuda a organizarme y aprendo muchísimo de lo que veo en la comunidad. ¡¡¡Que no pare la maquina!!! ---- Now if we are updated growers !! last week of growth, number 4 with 27 days. I decided to change to 7L instead of 3.5L looking for them to widen a little more and give me a couple of sketches each for the selection. 4th Week 10-24-2018 Foliar watering of organic phytofetifier Superkukulus 2mlxL Irrigation with 1mlxL of Voodoo, 1mlxL of Sensi Grow A + B 1mlxL of Rhino Skin and 1mlxL of Tarantula. (In this irrigation I would have removed the Grow since to enter into a transplant it would have been enough to stimulate with microorganisms and rooting) 10-26-2018 Irrigation with 2mlxL of Voodoo and 2mlx10L of Root Stimulator of BAC Observations: At the beginning of the week they separated so as not to compete with each other for space, after several days I placed the new LEC 315w luminaires with 3100k at low power, with the adjustable ballast I set them to 190w. The next day the 26th full transplant, discarding a Dinamed that remained small, another that had mancs and deformations and a Candida CD-1 CBD also with deformations and stigmas. Take the second batch of notes plant by plant, where I collect information such as size, deficiencies or excesses, ramification, roots .. everything you can gather from each plant. we transplanted and we are going up to power of the luminaria until the day 1 of florescion that they began to 315w of power. They are watered to PH 6 with root stimulator and voodoo. Begin to lower temperatures here and at night are about 18 degrees, I set a thermostat to operate the extractor at half power while the temperature does not exceed 26 degrees, but does not exceed more than 24 without having put intracción. Thanks again to the growers and the creators of this platform, which is a real gift! It helps me to organize myself and I learn a lot from what I see in the community. Do not stop the machine!

Welcome to my Sour Strawberry scrog diary sponsored by Spider-Farmer & Barneysfarm. Veg Days 29-42 Days 35-38 Days 35-37 49-52 Weeks since sprouted 7.5-8 Plant is pushing along. As with the others she had ph issues. Pushed through. Last week I pult Alga Grow as Plagron suggest it be a week r 2 apart from alga bloom But, she was lacking N. So, I added Raw N in just 150ppm. And the N issue was curved. Kept them both going on everything. Probably could of been flipped last wk. But, I'll do so this week. And weave the nodes and attach them to the net. I'm sure I'll figure it out during the stretch before pre flower. Then once that's over. I just let it grow. And tops that will grow beyond the canopy I'll pull them down. Hoping for a 5-8cm difference in the canopy. I'm gonna to have to cut a lot out that doesn't reach the net. But, I've made sure there's more than enough growth to sustain a full 50cm2 tent full of buds/colas with my limit of a canopy where all colas/bud tops are within 5-8cm. Pref 5 would be ideal. Let's see how the stretch goes. Its been harder than I thought. I defo wouldn't do this again with 2 different phenos. Clones really is a must id of been able to flip 2 weeks had they been the same. There's so much growth that isn't gonna make it, the stems are thick I've been stripping a defol the past 2 weeks and 70% off the nodes are up at the net. So, maybe I'm a bit ahead. You'll see where I'm at in 2 weeks. Diet Pult Alga Grow about 10 days ago. And she was threw into shortage of N. So, I gave 150ppm added to tap. And, seems to be doing a great job. Will start of Alga Bloom this week. And maybe I'll add 50 ppm of Raw N into it. I'll see. Thanks for stopping by, look forward to seen your grows. Either way, good growing.

Experiencing what seems to be my first nutrient lock out. Bought a soil ph tester from homdepo its reading 7.0 so that what bring me to that conclusion on top of the slower growing and the slight yellowing around the leaves. I was being cheap and using the liquid ph tester that comes with the ph up and down and im regretting now seeing my plants in not the best condition. Im ordering a better ph pen today i used the vivosun one the i currently have got the water to 5.8 checked the run off and its at 6.2 hopefully that helps. Saturday im going to top dress and water at 5.8 aging and im thinking that should put me back on track Any advice i could definitely use some tips and pointers or advice

Everything is still alive thankfully and smells fuckin tremendous. The pictures were taken on day 49 or 50. I'll probly start flushing some of them over the next week the citradellic are lookin close. They kinda all look close even tho I expected some 70 dayers with the mostly sativa crosses but I gotta get in there and check the trichs. Somehow I didn't get full plant pics of the first one but I'll get some next feed. Alot of shots without the flash I didnt take all the pics.

My aggressive bud-blocker removal has resulted in an unruly bush who is trying to over-grow her space! My hopes are that she can keep herself contained for the rest of the grow lol 😂. I've done a LOT of defoliation to try and help with the humidy and airflow in the tent. Her bud sites look happy and healthy, and her branches are super strong! 💪 She is drinking a TON of water. I find myself adding a gallon every 2-3 days!

Week 9 plant - vertical growth slowed down, packing on the buds quite nice. smelling great, quick counted 11 colas Week 8 plant - stretched quite a bit this past week. hairs everywhere, bud growth is starting to come in. quick counted 12 colas. Just added water to the res, ph went up a bit so dropped in 1ml of ph down to bring it back to 5.6, around 790-800 ppm. Did a light defoliation on the bottom of the plants, pulling off weak/dying older fan leaves mostly. Minor tucking of fan leaves on the top to expose more colas to the light. Adjusted the light to 18" from the tallest cola.

2025-07-27 i started tis grow longer ago as you may see in other diaries, from the same period these ladies are mindblowing and deserve a Diary LEGEND The root idea for the strain name was the ​Father’s Choice to show respect to his father when he was testing his strain on his father’s farm. Finally, the strain got the name Chronic Ryder - the autoflowering version of the famous Chronic by Serious Seeds. Crossing with the Lowryder gave us the opportunity to get a stable and fast flowering hybrid. GROWING The compact and fast flowering variety grows well indoors and outdoors. A small height of 60 cm max allows for growing nice and fragrant bushes for 65 days from germination. Despite its compact size, the plants develop lots of sticky and big buds with a pretty apricot smell. The aroma is hardly noticed at first but it becomes stronger as the harvest approaches. The short growing period is another strong point of the strain. That's why this is a good choice for countries with short summers - despite the bad weather you’ll get your guaranteed yield. TASTE and EFFECT Chronic Ryder is all about the taste - fruity and citrus tones complement one another, giving an unforgettable aftertaste. The effect is mild and doesn’t hit you like a hammer - the perfect choice for novice smokers. Thanks to balanced high and stone effects Chronic Ryder is a good daytime smoke that stimulates you for a long time. CHARACTERISTICS Autoflowering: Yes Type: Feminized | Autoflowering Room: Indoor | Outdoor | Greenhouse Genotype: Hybrid Genetics: Chronic x Lowryder Finish time: 65-70 days from seed Indoor: Productivity: 400 g/m2 Height: 30 - 60 cm Outdoor: Productivity: 30-85 g/plant Height: 60 - 100 cm THC: High Flavour: Citrus | fruity | apricot Effect: Balanced high and stone | daytime | giggly
