September 2, Day 43. I removed the trellis because it was annoying and I realized the spaces were too large and that's why it felt clumsy... Kabob sticks are doing the trick so far. As I was clipping some leaves to prepare for flowering, I noticed roots growing through the bottom of the pot. I hate transplanting plants so I sat the current pot in another pot that was filled 30% with additional coco coir that had been prebuffered with seedlings strength nutrients to avoid shock. I am confident the roots will continue their journey through the first pot and into the additional space below. Now to observe for a few days, aiming to switch to flowering next week. I have removed at least 30 leaves throughout the last week and she is still looking so bushy and healthy... Thanks Recharge. I ordered Big Bud by Advanced Nutrients and I look forward to using it during flowering. SUPER MEGA HAPPY UPDATE Day 44, September 3. I clipped a branch and planted it in a prebuffered with seedling strength nutrients rockwool pellet... I baptized her Kaboom Baby.... And. She. Survived!!! Ahhhhh!!! So freaking happy! I am going to start a second grow under this diary called Kaboom Baby, La Reinita Africana. Update, Day 46, September 5, 11am. Fed and watered with all nutrients except Recharge. Kaboom Mama is growing wild and free. I had so many training plans but I like her this way. As always, thank you for stopping by. If you have any thoughts about this grow, please leave them below. Happy growing and massive yields to all 💯🙏💚

👨‍🚀👋My 4 seedlings have grown well since the beginning and will soon have their flowers appear. 😊 First time that I have grown so many plants in my 1M², first time that I have not cut the main apex of the plants. I try a lot of things in this culture and it is certain that there is a lot to improve.😉 My goal is still 300g of dry buds at the end of this cultivation with my 16 plants👌 This week I continue to defoliate the lower branches. from the beginning I have been making different cuts on each plant And with supports I start trying to balance the height of all my plants so that they are approximately the same distance from the lamp ------------------------------------------------------------ 💧Watering I water all my pots the same day but with more or less water. Simply by lifting them; A light pot is a dry pot and will need more water, A heavy pot is a wet pot and will need less water. On average I water each pot with: Day 36 : 0.75 Liters Day 40 : 0.75 L I use tap water, adjust the ph to around 6 and water 💧Spraying I mix a little black soap and neem oil in 1L of water and spray everything in the tent just before my lights go out, keeping any electrical appliances away while I spray. I try to soak all the plants. and I repeat this 2 times this week and the next before the buds appear. I do this to keep pests away and reduce the risk of mold. ------------------------------------------------------------ 🔥❄️Temperature of the week : Day : 19-23°C (Humidity : 60-75%) Night : 15-18°C Outside the tent it is around 17°C with 70% humidity ------------------------------------------------------------ 🚀Equipment of the week ⭐️ : It's starting to smell a little too green in my house, I'm adding my carbon filter this week Light FC3000 Mars hydro. power 95% at 45cm Extractor 6 inch Mars Hydro + carbon filter . power 3/10. ON 24/24h 1 oscillating fan, on 45 minutes / off 15 minutes in loop (I reduce its use at night) ------------------------------------------------------------ 📜Links : USA x Landrace LE Seeds : 👇 (Seeds of this Limited Edition is in restocking) https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/feminised-cannabis-seeds/usa-and-landrace-limited-edition/ Mars Hydro : 5% off with my discount code "houstone5" 💪 https://www.mars-hydro.com/?acc=hou-stone 👨‍🚀My Instagram 🌱❤️️: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/ ------------------------------------------------------------ ☮️Peace and love💚👋

Weird germination process: among the whole tent I had few duds so I had to replace and select. I noticed from the start that the seed didn't germinate correctly having kept the membrane closed tight on top, inclusive of seed shell. I manually removed the redundant seed shell and membrane myself. Germinated using the wet towel method, then planted with michoryzae powder as added boost. A couple of days later I have noticed that the top wilted while suffocated in the shell, however it is already sprouting a perfect "Y" " self-topped" shape to die for. I wasn't planning to train any of the plants in this grow but I will do it with this MOBY DICK: this strain is a high yielding sativa that has historically given me a consistent large harvest each time. It can bush out very quickly and I would have to allocate half a tent just for her.

11/16: I fed them today. Everybody's looking good.👍 11/18: I potted up the other 5 plants in 2 gallon pots and except for a few photos that aren't quite big enough to flower yet, they've got the whole tiny tent to themselves. 11/20: I fed them and sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray and Axiom today and let it soak in nice and slow under low light with no air circulation. All but the Strawberry Pie are flowering..Pineapple Express is a beast. "Red Channel on Quantum Boards.....Engage."

Well... What a very very stressful week this has been, A few pistils started browning. I went over each girl no Nana’s definitely all female, started panicking thinking I maybe had bugs, root rot e.t.c. Flushed for two days and all new growth showed healthy signs kicking out some serious trichomes! Smells beautiful and PH for the run off was exact. Gave 1/2 Nutrients/Feed today for the first time just to ease the girls back in but fingers crossed I have either had some PH issues or wind burn possibly. Had to Defoliate again today as the foliage was ridiculous😂 I hope next week isn’t so stressful 🙏🏻 Wish me luck man please I need it 🤦‍♂️🏻😅

After 35 days of vegetation we send them into Flower. They get 2 hours less light every day until we reached the day/night-cycle 12/12 hours. we have noticed that they have already started their stretch. they grow 5-10 cm every day. We water them with bio grow for the first time.

She grew 13cm this week. Not bad. She's looking good. Tent is a little bit too overcrowded for her at the moment but in a few days the situation will be better.

Cada vez más hermosas, unas más grandes que otras pero en general un cultivo bastante homogéneo que desde ya indica que dará unos frutos realmente espectaculares.

She’s growing well but less than the Zkittlez Auto from my other diary. She’s in pre-flower, shape is good, i’m waiting for a few advanced nutrients products since more than a month, i hope i’ll get these products quick but ain’t much stress because no nutrients deficiencies, but would be great to give them a boost, ✌️ 🍃

OG Kush, aka Olga was easy to grow. She was the tallest at 31 inches and had strong stems to support her buds. However, being the tallest, she suffered the most heat stress and was the first to show cal-mag deficiency. Og Kush aka Olga, was my first diary, initially planned to combine all my plants in one until I found out that for contests, you have to have single strain. So I jumped in feet first and ran 3 separate diaries. This was a bit much for me. I am totally inexperienced on growing cannabis, much less track the grow with all the nuances on an unfamiliar platform. I really intended to enter Olga in the Newbie contest, but I woke up one morning and Bam, I was an apprentice. With 3 failed germinations, 3 new diaries and no harvest surely was not deserving at that time. Because I'm running 3 diaries, when growmies visited, they checked out all of them and my likes increased significantly. 3 diaries 15 weeks,=45. easy to see the math. So here I am. First, I want to thank Andrew @LegacyMarketFarms for introducing himself to me my first week here. He invited me to his tutorial videos on Youtube. Every Sunday I watched one or two weeks at a time while I folded the laundry. I watched some over and over, taking notes along the way finding tips for that weeks progress. While I could understand many of the concepts, I never quite achieved them. I struggled with VPD in many forms: from not enough humidity during Veg to too much RH during flower. It's a world turned upside down. I was happy when he was recognized as a Guru 👏. Congrats again Andrew. Secondly, Warm thanks to @Ex_Alchemist and @StarLorr for helping me with platform technology problems. After emails to GD went unanswered, they offered suggestions for me to try and fix. When I kept getting blocked, they listened to me express my frustrations and anxiety this was giving me. They kept encouraging me to hang in there. I was ready to quit but I know I need to be here. My apologies to all that got blocked for 7 hours because you visited my diaries. Thanks for sticking around anyway. And my apologies to those that I did not chat with following a visit or comment because I was blocked. It is a two-way street. A big thanks to @m0use. Your comment on Premium Cultivars, made my light bulb click on for what was causing my continued 7 hour punishments. I had links in my diary comments to other cannabis sites, electroculture, recipe sites. etc. Since I've cleaned up the links, I haven't been blocked😊👏. Thanks to all the growmies that responded to my grow questions. Particularly my medical question as that is why I'm here. You shared with me your personal journeys and health issues and what works for you and what might be good strains for me to start with. I won't name names; you know who you are. My prayers 🙏 and blessings to each of you For all of my questions, I had a difficult time choosing the best answer. Know that I have learned from al of you. I'm here to learn to grow and have fun doing it. I entered some contests but no luck. My curiosity got the better of me and I went looking at the champions DreamIt @Ju_Bps, @gottagrowsometime, @love_2_grow, @ZombieKushAddicted and so many more diaries with contest wins. I saw beautiful plants, perfectly grown, but also fun presentations using technology. There's that word again. My extra special thanks 😘 to @DreamIt who has spent hours tutoring me in video technology. How to make a video, add music and add an avatar. I have a few short videos but while the music i selected was perfect for the theme, the music has copyrights and doesn't upload. I'll keep trying. In closing this diary OG Kush (Olga) and grow cycle with Purple Chill (Penny) and Gorilla Glue (Gigi). My thanks go out to all of you for assisting on those diaries as well. My sincere thanks to all that visited, liked, commented and/ or followed me. Happy growing and have fun.

New beginning-in a suitcase :) this is my 4th growth in a suitcase :) Sweet Seeds - Cream Caramel auto:) I think it will be an interesting growth, I don't know yet if I will try to train it, or if I will have to freeze the top of the plant at the base:) I will decide everything as I go ;) , 1 day after germination it was transplanted into its final pot, because I wanted to plant it a little deeper, so that there would be more space in the future:) good luck to everyone.

This week has been all about shaping the plant. I’ve learned from last that the colas weren’t the same height, because I let the plant do it’s things with just a bit of training. Now I know what to look for so I’m trying my hardest. I top dressed this week with crab meal, Gaia green all purpose 4-4-4, insect frass, kelp meal, bone meal, azomite, and covered it with a healthy serving of worm castings (about an inch to 2 inches). All of which was sprinkled on all the chopped and dropped leaves/branches. I believe in adding biomass to soil, especially for an indoor growing who is money conscious. Doing that can help save me money going back to the store for more soil.

I need to get my l.s.t. done. Plan to this weekend. Have been alternating waterings between regular water and water with 2.5ml of fox farm grow big. Have watered all times with 200ml of water and the solution water mix. Been keeping the humidity at about 45% temp around 68. Can tell a huge difference in sizes of the plants and their container sizes. Will be going with at least 3gal pots next grow. Still using a 25w light as well. Will be upgrading that asap. Thanks for the view. And as always, stay safe.

Mimosa is the queen of the tent so far , thick and bushy looking strong . She loved being tied down and is filling out nicely. I’ll need to do a defol soon and keep her nice and spread out to get the light in and keep up the growth rate . Flushed her this week and keen to see her stretch out this next week .
