This week I brought my @STRNG seeds tent grow outside for a day/night to cool off. Because of our extreme temperatures and because my grow tent is in the garage, it is too hot for my plant. I really need to turn on the garage air conditioner, but my husband complains about the electric bill-heheh. She needed the cooler weather outside and a break from my nutrients I think. She looks a hot mess with all of her yellow leaves, so I defoliated all the ugly ones so she could regain her youth appearance. It rained a little last night and I included a picture of the the rain water in a measuring cup to show how much it rained. Hopefully, I can correct whatever I am doing wrong and we can continue with a healthy grow. The plan is to turn the air condition on and cool the grow tents environment. @STRNG seeds Sex Panther is till growing by adding 2 inches to her height and flowering beautifully. We are in our 2nd week of flowering! @STRNG seeds website says it should be indoor height between 100-120cm. We are currently at 55 cm so we are a little short right now but that could be because it is too hot in the grow tent. Her buds are beautiful and she looks great. Until next week, Be happy. Likes and comments are always appreciated.

As the days go by and the weather in my area is getting colder, I've got a difference from almost 10 degrees between night and day, so one of the girl is getting some purple colors in the buds. Everything else seems normal, I just had to change the light cause my 600W LED fell out. Now I'm using a 200W till I hopefully can fix the other light.

Day 2 of week 8 - Sunday 11th October Nutes in today, all looking good and pistils still coming through nicely.. Girls will need a bit of lower defoliation again but will wait till later this week.. UPDATE: Day 4 of week 8 Tuesday 13th October: More LST and defoliation today, pistils looking so lovely 😊! Nutes in as usual. Defo beginning to stretch so LST is proving a little tougher to do as the stems are getting much stronger now.. May have to abandon metal spikes and start tying down to the sides of the fabric pots. Things are moving much faster now and water intake in increasing too. Happy days! UPDATE: Day 6 of week 8 Thursday 15th Oct Nutes in and a little more LST. Really peeved as I bent the main stem a little too hard on one of the girls and she had a slight crease in the stem now 🤬... I hope this doesn’t affect her growth or that I loose the main cola.. But it’s too late to change it now so keeping my fingers crossed that she’s as hardy as a I think she is.. Only time will tell. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Enjoying this project immensely 😍❤️

Smells and tastes straight like a banana smoothie

Oggi ho scoperto una bruttissima cosa, le piante sono ermafrodita, peccato, questa doveva essere la seconda settimana di fioritura. Invece non continuerà, butto tutto e ricomincio un altra volta. Non sono né felice né arrabbiato, questo fa parte del gioco... la prossima volta staró ancora più attento.

Day 31 - 38 (Day 32) I’m going to lower the humidity in the room to 55-60. Still no bananas but I’m still quite worried about #3 fully popping and ruining my whole crop. Since there is a good chance it’s going to herm, I’m going to give it with a small feeding today and watch it like a hawk this week. I think the boost actually made a decent difference in #5 from last week. I’m seeing slightly fatter main colas but that could just be from less topping/smaller plant or less nitrogen. I’ve decided to push my luck and give a boost to each plant. These things just aren’t filling out like they should. They look like they are on day 23 not 33. I’m going to top dress 3 tablespoons of 1-4-2 Destiny launch and later tonight I’m going to water in a low strength feeding of 0-0-15 kelp extract. I’m going to give a final heaping tablespoon of nature’s pride bloom to #5 so it can stretch to the end. I’m also going to lower the lights by a few inches. The tallest cola is now about 13 inches away and the rest of the canopy is at about 18–24. If I see signs of light stress I’ll raise it back up but I’m sure it could use the extra light on the lowers. (Day 33) I’ve been reading that bigger plants just take longer to mature and that’s probably why my plant hasn’t fully filled out or is about a week behind. I still could have done a better job defoliating some of the smaller larf branches on the bottom which just robs the good branches of energy. The more I think about it, the more I think I did a very poor job of defoliating the middle canopy. I’m still seeing lots of larf and small buds on the inside not getting much light. I’m still really worried about herms after finding that branch so I don’t want to stress them anymore. Removing suckers now is pointless. I missed my window of opportunity and now I have to deal with it. I’m going to slide an old DVD player underneath #6 to bring it up to canopy level. It’s lower buds are definitely not getting enough light. (Day 34) Ever since lowering the light, the canopy has gotten a few degrees warmer. I’ve noticed the buds don’t feel as sticky on top compared to the lower tucked branches that feel almost wet with resin. Outdoor weed grown in my climate will never reach the temperature where it degrades resin luckily. (Day 36) The buds are definitely swelling but not to the degree I want. Call me picky but I prefer my nugs as chunky as possible. I’m seeing lots of pistils but not much nug matter. Ive heard too many pistils can be caused by the overuse of alfalfa, kelp and seaweed extracts because of the natural PGR’s in them. I’m definitely going to reduce the amount of that stuff I use next round. I hope I’m just wrong and this tent is going to really fatten up this week but I have my doubts. (Day 37) A purple fade is starting on the underside of every plant except the bush who still is super dark green still. Last watering I got a nice amount of runoff so I’m just going to leave her until the end. I’m seeing a bit of yellowing on #5. I’m going to give it one final full strength feeding plus some rock dust and oyster shell tomorrow and that’s a wrap for nutrients. I might as well hit everything else with a final low strength 0-0-15 too. (Day 38) I’m amazed at how much this stuff smells compared to my last round. It smells very earthy and floral with a hint of pine. Definitely not that gassy smelling pine but more of a sweet pine.

They eat but dont drink a lot, so pots stay heavy but every 2-3 days i pour a full bucket trough the soil with 950ppm so the EC stays in good range, the flowers are way smaller then what im used to with my other blue dreams, because these here stand in soil and in colder conditions, no problem we just give them 2 weeks longer to fatten up

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Week 5 starts. Added new video. Girl Nr 1 is 46 cm high and Nr 2 is 33 cm. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-19. 2 new fans is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 10.00. New video. The Nr1 girl is 52 cm high and Nr 2 is 32 cm. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girls have recovered well after my massive defoliation. Girl number 1 is now 56 cm tall and number 2 is 35 cm. They have received 6 liters of water and nutrition today. --------------------------------------------------------------

I'm back for another update this week! It hasn't been a very busy week this week, the veg area is vegging and the flower area is on its last week before harvest. I've been taking very small cuttings (about .1 gram) and scoping the trikes using a 45x desktop microscope. Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- This seedling is still doing well and branching out keeping a "v" shaped branch formation, thinner long leaves and decently far spaced nodes. It is still the tallest plant in the whole garden now standing at 19 inches tall. It's top four branches are beginning to develop smaller branches from them. HSO/ Giest Grow: Tow Truck- Unfortunately the Tow Truck showed signs of being a male. Last week I had assumed it was a male. But this week I was able to call it for certain. I don't have the space to keep any males, so I went ahead and cut it down. This diary will now be for the Ethos Seedling! It is feminized so it will surely go to the flower room with the Raspberry Ripple plants it shares a tent with. Raspberry Ripple Clones (#1 and #2)- These veg clones are still spreading out with branching decently. The #2 Phenos hit 12 inches in height and received their topping. So now all plants in the clone tent have been topped once. Flower Tent (Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2)- It is currently day 67 Flower, Under the HLG Blackbird. I went ahead and dimmed it down one level. I let my buddy use my PAR meter for a few days. But I'd assume it's probably about 450-700 PPFD on most top sites. I've assessed the trichomes today and last week. Most are getting cloudy but I'm gonna wait just a few more days, to push into some amber coverage. A lot of the #2 pheno top sites are now leaning over and being fully supported by the trellis. The little branches just couldn't support the massive flowers it grew. One of the #2 plants is still holding strong and standing tall. But 2/3 are pretty much fully supported by the trellis. The number one phenos are once again super thick stalked, with thick branches. One of the #1 plants, looks like it completely bottomed out this week. Most of its leaves are completely faded. The other plant of the #1 Phenos is much more bright and vibrant. There are still some straggling white pistil hairs left on the #1s but they are still changing color by the day. Pushing into day 70 or 71 will probably be perfect harvest time! Thank you for checking in on my grow diary! Until next week! Happy growing and Happy Living! -Starfish

All stats stayed optimal: temps 27–28°C (day)/25°C (night), humidity 60–62%, VPD 1.3–1.45. Soil EC dropped from 1.6 to 1.2 mS/cm after flushing; soil water content ranged 18–28%. Lights at 90% @ 25cm gave 900 μmol/m²/s PPFD, with CO₂ at 450 ppm. Lessons: pH Control: High runoff pH (7.5) suggests salt buildup; lighter feed and plain water helped. Monitor runoff. 💧 Stable Conditions: Consistent environment supported growth. 🌡️ EC Management: Flushing lowered EC—watch for nutrient balance. ⚡ Takeaway: A solid week with stable conditions and proactive pH management. Monitor runoff pH and EC to sustain progress. 🚀

Today is the beginning of the 5th week I see the first sings of hairs/pistles she does not need feeding so I am going to top dress her with some local bat guano and some raw bloom stage microbes in prep for the next feeding. Hopefully she gives me some more stretch. Side not I know I could be asking a lot of questions but would just rather learn the process by watching her and see what she does and when so I can better programe in the process for any other auto grow. I feed her on sunday/yesterday just to add an update. See above nutrients and additives.

Growing great. Growth took off when I gave it recharge. Going to give it some mammoth p this week when it arrives 😎

12/21 - Transplanting into a 7 gallon pot (coco/per) - increasing feeds starting tomorrow - swapped lights running the Marshydro 150W full spec - Did some light defoliation 😎😎😎😎😎

Two in the tent are in flower week 2. ONE SKYWALKEROG and One northern lights. 5 plants in veg week 7 or 8 all SOUR WIZ. Another week and they should be ready to flower. Thanks for looking 🖤

Hi Everyone ! Everything is ok. Plant are still healthy. specially the tank on the left, they drink 15L during this week and maybe less than 10L for the tank on the right Guess which one has a nice root system ? 🙏😉

So far so good. Got some pre flowers coming in and everything is growing pretty steady. Increased nutrients this week so gonna keep an eye out for anything funky.
