Aug 31: now done six weeks of flowering. Started force flowering by putting her in the dark garage for 10 h plus two hours of bonus darkness by using a 730 nm far red light at dusk as a bloom booster. After three weeks of moving in and out of garage I鈥檝e just been using the red light at dusk. I use Civil Twilight as listed on dateandtime.com for my location. Civil Twilight is getting earlier by about 3 min per night and will be at 9 pm tonight. Awesome plant should be 2-3 weeks to finish and the weather forecast is perfect for next two weeks. Should be a strong finish, and we鈥檙e still in August. Awesome. Sep 1: flowers are huge and progressing quickly. The top buds seemed to change colour a bit today. Overnight temperatures are still above 10 C so no purple colour showing yet. Maybe right at the end in a couple of weeks she鈥檒l show some extra colour. Sep 3: buds are getting big, dense and sticky. Perfect. Sep 4: flash pics are okay if using the 730 nm far red light right after. If you don鈥檛 have a red light, don鈥檛 take flash pics of your photoperiod plants. Nice big buds are quite hard too. Very nice. #seedsman420growoff #seedsmanseeds

*clears throat* NOOB SPEAKING! So I fudged up and just realized that I鈥檝e been using the kool bloom POWDER way too early. Never realized the difference between the liquid and powder. She seems to be doing good and fattening up fine. I鈥檝e never seen a issues from using it too early. Smell fruity, spicy, and sweet.... maybe from the kool bloom being used too lol early I dunno. From what I read it may hurt the yield but with two week left in flower only time will tell 馃槥 thankfully I know it鈥檚 strong so only ever used very small amounts. Thoughts???

Hi Growmies. Here we are at the beginning of the end for the expert seeds grow . The Glueberry was taken out at day 60 and spent 48 in the dark before I trimmed her up for her slow dry. As I expected, I had a lot of undercut that won't be much use for bud weight but will go into some nice ice hash with the other trim. The main buds are a nice size and density with a very strong diesel and fruit hit coming from them too. They have a nice oily feel with a tacky after touch so should be nice and crunchy on drying after the cure. I have her in a cardboard box with cool 10掳c air exchanging . This will hopefully slow the dry down and allow for the conversion of any stored chlorophyll into more usable thc and oils. Her trichs had enough Amber's to feel ready for harvesting her too. Now the waiting game .lol Mimosa Lemon is only now showing signs of and ending soon . Her hips have remained loose and sadly very open which is going to be a dissapointment on the yield front for sure. Her potency will no doubt be bang on from the sample I dried of a lower popcorn branch. She has a very strong lemon scent any where close to her now and I think she would be great for extractions. I am not looking forward to how to trim her now.. lol She began so well too but her bud growth has been a sad dissapointment . I am hoping her final effects will save her reputation. Another week will hopefully show some clues to this. Until next time growmies. Be Healthy.

Skipped a week in my journal last week, as I was traveling. Had my neighbor water my plants. Came back and everything was looking great with the Lion Claw. I WAS having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants though... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. Also top dressed the Lion Claw and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. She's a big plant for being in a 5-gallon pot. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably once per week. Don't want to overdo it. 8/4 LIGHTLY sprayed with gravenstein apple FFJ and OHN. 8/6 LIGHTLY sprayed base soil area with neem oil / castile soap mixture.

Green House Feeded one is enjoying life and growing big health buds. She received her last lollipoping. Advanced Nutrients one is still struggling. I am increasing the feeding per Advanced Nutrients supports suggestion. Let鈥檚 hope she recovers.

We're halfway through flower, and the girls are trucking along without much help from me. This week's only exciting thing was making compost tea (worm castings, insect frass, kelp, rock dust, basalt, biochar, molasses, and LAB) for the girls (and to kickstart my new veggie soil.) The tent has more color changes, and considering that they are clones, it's fascinating to see the differences between each plant. DLI: 42 UV: 2,5 hours per day

This week was when I first recognized that there was something wrong.... Initially I only realized that the stems of my little girl were slightly bent downward. In some cases I have experienced this orientation when a plant is exhausted and about to got through its sleeping period but, this seemed different. In the following days I began to notice that the lower leaves were beginning to fade, the stems began to turn red, and still the leaves were bending downward and not praying to the light! At first I just figured that my plant was in need of a feeding and transplanting to a larger container but, after doing a bit of research I realized that the I may have been experiencing a phosphorus deficiency. From my understanding I knew that these plants require nutrients that is high in nitrogen during the vegetative part of its life however, I did not realize that it's still needed an adequate amount of phosphorus in this stage too. As I mentioned perviously, I decided to reuse my soil for this grow and as a result of sterlization my growing medium no longer had any nutrients to offer my plant at the time. I believe this is the reason I began to see signs of deficiencies and going forward if I ever reuse my medium again I will make sure to re-amend it before using it. *I also topped the plant at the 5th node this week as well*

Week 3 since we first put seeds in the dirt. Found out the hard way that's not really how we want to germinate our seeds moving forward. Had a pretty shitty success rate. I still have 300 seeds left so, live and learn. The ak by critical mass has taken off pretty well, the OG Kush is taking longer than we expected, the quarter pounder is moving along quite nicely and the Northern Lights, which are only a week old are still lagging behind. In the "clone room" the MKUltra is looking very nice, growing extremely fast and we will probably be putting those into flower in the next couple of weeks. We went ahead and chose a few of them for mother plants; we took 25 clones today and set them up on a rack with cob LED lights. We also started our mother plant seeds; Northern Lights, blueberry, white widow, and super lemon Haze. Hopefully those will pop in the next few days, and in anticipation we have added a small mother room (closet really) for them where we will hang 2 800 watt LED cob lights and one Mars hydro sp250 and veg those out until we can start taking clones. Thanks for looking!

Welcome to my FastBuds GSC grow-off diary! I plan on growing 2 seeds from the same package - one using a 950ml Gatorade bottle dwc system, and the other sharing a 64L reservior DWC. I'll grow them both while trying to be as simiar in techique as i can, but i'm more interested in how the 950ml does, so might not be super picky about doing things exactly the same, heh. I'm making this all up as I go! Enjoy the ride! Week 0 ====== Day 0.1 - 2 seeds in water for 24hrs Day 0.2- 2 Seeds in wet paper towel, in a plastic bag for 24-48hrs until taproot is out Day 0.3 - 24hrs later - one seed has sprouted a tail Day 0.4 - 2nd seed sprouted tail; put both seeds into rockwool Day 0.5 - 1st seed sprouted from rockwool Day 0.6 - 1st seed doing well, 2nd seed no change Day 0.7 - Checked 2nd seed and hasn't budged, so it's a dud. Started a new seed (had 3 GSC, so all good!) Day 0.8 - 1st seed into the 1L DWC bottle! Day 0.10 - 3rd seed germinated - into rockwool to sprout. DWC Prototype ----------------- - 950ml Gatorade Bottle - 2x small air stones - 1/2" overflow tube where i want the water level to be - Nutrient top-feed line The reservoir below is 19L (~15L of solution) with a small 80gph water pump on lowest setting, which will be on a timer for 15 mins every 3 hours (at first - we'll see how that goes). The water pumps nutrient solution up to the Gatorade bottle and the overflow goes back down into the reservoir.

The girls are coming out of their second topping very well. I will increase their fertilizer going forward as they are taking their current level with flying colors. I was very careful with the identification of my seeds through planting, and yet I am concerned a couple may be mislabeled. I will continue the investigation. lol

This week was ok nice short internode space and quite a little bushy plant .it's a shame about the little holes by the bugs I'm gonna try covering the soil with tin foil to stop them from coming out this is why I normally growing coco. I'm just feeding it some silica and root expander at the moment because the PPM in the soil is quite high but instead of flushing it which could over water the plants immediately I'm just going to let the plant eat it. it has showed no sign of burning or toxicity I've been mixing up soil for free years mainly for the outdoor flowers I thought I would give it a try in the soil but the PPM is hi not massively amount it's just about a thousand ppm but other than that all things are well . Thank you for looking at my diary and will be updating every week

Day 58, 11th of November 2020: I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so they receive 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when they will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week.... Wao. Well, all good hopefully they will stop growing soon but the strech is not that much thanks for the trainings such as topping and LST.... Pistils are started appearing so they she the sex I think one more week to go and they will settle down concentrating on bud development. What to say every 2nd day is fertilization with the mix and ratio above now we are waiting. Anything else? Well just look atbthe pictures and decide what you think. I am pretty sure they look cool LOL. This Gleato Zamnesia is very promising I really like the smell already she is nice but all of them I mean I am in love with all so. Kalinia Asia is nice and I am so excited for the Sweed Seeds ones the red girls OMG :)

Aggiornamento 15/ 2 /21. Quarta settimana tutto procede bene senza carenze ed eccessi stanno bevendo di pi霉 e promettono bene !!! Aggiornamento 16/2/21 ho notato che una bimba ha delle foglie un po bruciacchiate le altre 2 crescono benissimo. Ho dato 1 l solo acqua a ciascuna oggi. Aggiornamento 19/2/21 ho riscontrato una deficienza da calcio cos矛 ho somministrato cal-mag bio bizz con un po di rhino skin su due bimbe (gi脿 sono diventate 2 le bimbe infette) mentre all altra che cresce bene ho dato il biglietto bud rimpiazzandolo al long flowering greenhose.

Added top funnel watering wick, most insects/bugs use damp topsoil 1-2" to reproduce. This uses gravity, 馃憡馃憡馃憡fiber wicks water, and spreads evenly, to keep moisture under the topsoil out of the reach of bugs. Zinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30 Neodymium is a chemical element with the symbol Nd and atomic number 60 Thorium is a weakly radioactive metallic chemical element with the symbol Th and atomic number 90.
