***Update*** have switched 2 of 3 to 5 gals will do the other one as soon as I get more coco..looking to veg maybe another 2 weeks then going to flip. Recently acquired LED light for my veg room so have 250w hps n 300w LED..ladies seem to be loving it.

Day 21. I post one day earlier, but its a huge week for them. Cleared space, install chicken wire fence. Added worm castings, epsom salt, mono potassium, calcium nitrate , Great White, Biosys and hope they will be ok. Next visit in two weeks. Root system was good, couple girls had mini root bound on the bottom, so timing was perfect ! Happy Growing !!!

Week 15 Coming back from holidays: left the plants 13 days in self sufficiently. -grow spot: greenhouse -Automatic Watering Blumat with 5L supply of water / plant -ventilation: 6 AM to 22 PM = 15 min/h - 22 PM to 6 AM = 15min/2h -companion plants: dill, basil + in front of the greenhouse: lavender, sunflower -insect traps ; artificial (paper glue) and natural : numbers of spiders around -1 manual watering day 7 Really good surprise: all plants look healthy and particularly the Sleepy Joe, growing 40cm higher in 13 days + a good side stretching. No pest or predators around (I will have a meticulous check soon), no signs of dehydration just some dead leaves on the floor causing by heat or the minimum water quantity, proving by the root system around the ‘carrot clay’ (Blumat) cf photo. Daylight 6h34 to 21h43 = 15h09 👇🏼- Lucky weather: sunny, not too hot 🤙 Nutrient cocktail BioBizz 2L Sprayed Neem Oil early in the morning 🤔thinking about the size problem….this Phenotype is very vigorous: 1m30 high and the vegetative period is not achieved 😬: the plantation must remained imperatively discrete. I decided to train the 2 top branches (photo): the final form is pretty cool… For the moment all is running well….the perfect cool weather but it’s minimum 10 weeks before harvest: a pretty long way…

Well, the old girl was showing signs of calcium defciency (some spotting/rust on some of the leaves) so she got her rez change a day early this week with some added Cal-Mag. She did some stretching this week and grew about 5". Cleared out some undergrowth and small branches under the canopy to keep things neat. She seems to be setting up to produce some nice buds. 🤞 -------------- Day 65: PPM 658; PH 6.2. She was thirsty but watered down her drink as her PPMs were increasing a bit. Fed her a gallon of filtered water with a tsp of Cal-Mag. PPMs now at 563 with PH 6.2. Day 66: PPM 553; PH 6.2. Left her alone. She seems in a bette place after having her drink watered down yesterday. Day 67: PPM574; PH 6.2. Topped her off with a gallon of filtered water and light nutes. She's sitting at PPM 574; PH 6.2. Day 68: PPM 584; PH 6.2. Left her alone. Day 69: PPM 563; PH 6.2. Topped her off with a gallon of filtered water/nutes. Sitting at PPM 595; PH 6.1 Day 70: PPM 595; PH 5.4. I've suspected for a while that my PH meter has not been giving accurate readings (even after calibration). Bought a new meter and was proven correct - PH has been running much lower than readings have been showing. Corrected her to 6.1 today - maybe now she'll start sucking up some of that calcium she's been missing out on.

Winter Greenhouse grow #2 Dutch Passion seeds Hollands Hope 6th May 2020 Well that was a turbulant week of weather for these two poor liitle ladies and from the look of the sky , they are in for more. Last night we had a severe storm here with wind gusts at or above 100kmh an hour and heavy rain of about 45mm in the rain guage this morning. The temp is currently 8 degrees outside at 12 noon and the minimum was 2 @ 630 am this morning. I was half expecting to see the greenhouse had been smashed to pieces but luckily it seems to have survived so far relatively unscathed, apart from the odd rip in the roof that is letting in water from the rain. Both plants got an absolute drenching and you can see by the plant 1's droopiness that they are not liking it . The only thing I could do was move them to another part of the greenhouse that didn't seem to be leaking and when the weather settles down I will line the inside of the greenhouse with new plastic . This will be a grow that I will need to plan one week at a time as anything could happen the way our weathers been here Thanks for stopping by 👍

Watering every other day, using left over RO water from last feed with a little more phosphorous and potassium. and cal mag and fulvic and molasses added... EC 1.5 PH 6.2 Temp 20. Runoff was within 500 ppm higher than input (yikes). (still going for same input & runoff😒); its a dam goal ! These last couple of weeks seem to take forever. Praying to the ganga gods😇 that it finishes OK. March 29/2021 Brix is increasing, highest brix is 14 on 2 plants, brix of 10 on 5 plants, Brix of 9 on 3 plants, Brix of 8 on 1 plant, Brix of 7 on 1 plant.

Todo muy tranquilo, estoy bastante conforme con lo que llevo👨‍🌾🍀

Semana del 4 al 10 Marzo Semana 9 Floración Abonado Floración (Top Bud) — — Pineapple — Franco's Lemon Cheese — American Purple Final Solution — — Razuberi — Critical 2.0 — Liberty Haze — White Widow — DC Kush

No4 (feeded wit biobizz) causes a lot of problems and needs a lot of attention...started with Ca deficiency...after this came toxicity of nitrogen and now some Mg deficiency...but the grow is very good. Same strain in Pot No2 in super living soil is doing good...grows a little slower but I have zero work and zero problems there. So far I would prefer living soil in the future. But let see what happens for the rest of the grow. Increasing light to 650-700 micromol/m2/s in week 5 (for No2, No3 and No4) was a bad idea...decreased to 500-550 now the vitality is coming back

Problem of the leaves are solted it was because the soil was working a lot because it is rich it needed time and multiple watering now it's good she is in love in this soil 💚 she will be transplanted soon outdoor

El ciclo de la planta ha sido muy bueno, los fenotipos de Sweed Seeds son bastante fertes en cuanto a enfermedades, personalmente sientre uso mico vita (top crop) mezclado en seco con el sustrato y siempre me a funcionado realmente bien 👍 Los cogollos han ido cogiendo fuerza y tricomas sin parar, respondiendo al entrenamiento LST sin ningun problema 💪 BUENOS HUMOS 🔥

Omg. I can’t wait to chop this thing

So I found some powdery mildew on some lower growth so I have moved this little lady outside as I don’t want her infecting my other greenhouse plants. I will stay on top of things with OMRI fungicide and have no doubt that I will get her to harvest as she appears to be getting close. She is really stacking on bud size now. I will be watching trics going forward now and can’t wait for harvest. 😎🍿🍻🌱

Targona: 36 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Fifth week of growth of my OG Eddy Lepp Auto 💚🌺💚🌺 Nutrients: As I mentioned last time, I switched to organic nutrients from Plagron and Biobizz💓 - Plagron Alga Bloom - is a complete fertilizer designed exclusively for the flowering phase. It contains all the important substances that the plant easily absorbs 🌸🌾 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Sugar Royal - Sugar Royal is a supporting enzymatic fertilizer designed exclusively for the flowering phase. It contains hormones, enzymes, vitamins and trace elements necessary for proper flower development🍭🍭🍭 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plagron Green Sensation - Green Sensation is a professional flowering stimulator and activator. It contains all the necessary ingredients supporting flowering and also the formation of sugars, and thus the overall yield🌊🌿 ------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------- JUNGLE X Environ is a highly effective complex preparation for stimulating flower formation. 🌸🏵️ ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------ BioBizz Bio pH - is an organic pH regulator. An aqueous solution of citric acid, which is naturally found in citrus fruits 🍋🍋 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- This week I no longer feed Plagron Power Roots, it should be fed no later than the fifth week of plant growth. General: OG Eddy Lepp Auto 💚🌺💚🌺 - The plant is still beautiful, has a fresh green color, has grown quite tall, beautiful buds are starting to form, which already smell nice. This is a high-quality genetics, the girl responded very well to both nutrients and their change 🌱🏵️💚 Training: This week I performed LST on adult young branches by attaching them to the edges of the pot with string, just like the others. There was no need to defoliate too much, I just cut off the leaves that shade the buds and gently pulled the lower long branches together so that they didn't spread too much over the tent and, most importantly, kept their shape 💚🌞🌞 Light: Mars Hydro TS1000 The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 25 cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up 💡💡💡 Thanks for the likes :) See you soon 😍😍

The lower budsites have come in nicely over the last couple weeks and I finally got a digital microscope to inspect the trichomes. I have a few amber so far with some cloudy but majority are still clear. I think I have a week or two left before I chop her. She has one more watering+feeding left before I start the flush in about this time next week assuming I get some more cloudy+amber trichomes before then, if not I will continue with current feeding schedule until I'm satisfied.

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.

new week did a small bit of LST. Not sure if things are imrproving with the calmag but i am seeing more growth but still little brown patched on the leaves but ill stick at it and see how it all goes. I am wondering if i should remove any of the leaves with the brown patches etc but tempted to just let it grow and see where it ends up

Keep on lolly popping every 2 days feed, now i change the light to 100% and feeding daily as she drink a lot more actually. She tells by the picture how good i keep her.

WEEK 8 (04/18/2021 - 04/24/2021) Day 59: 04/18/2021 Defoliated some growth from each plant before I installed my custom-built SCRoG net made of: pvc piping, drywall screws, and jute twine for the netting. It’s slightly smaller than the tent, 41”x41” with a second level for another net. It fits perfectly, leaving plenty of room to work around the edges and move the fan around if needed. Immediately after defoliation and installing the net, I watered using ½ strength Botanicare Hydroguard. Watering was different. I used a battery-powered liquid transfer pump to help water the plants a little faster and more efficiently. Also helps to reach the plants I can’t access as easily in the corner. I am unable to test/collect any of the runoff at the moment since installing the net, which wouldn’t be an issue by itself, but my saucers are just barely large enough to fit the base of the 5 gallon pots into. I have no way of sticking a pH pen or TDS meter in the runoff. They simply won't fit between the pot and the saucer. This is extremely unfortunate, as I am now unable to monitor the ppm of the soil with each watering. Will have to pick up some larger saucers soon or think of another solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 61: 04/20/2021 ‘Tis the season to be medicated. Happy Holidaze! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 62: 04/21/2021 Upping the amount of water going into the pots this watering. Previously I was doing 1 gallon of water per 5 gallon pot. I’m increasing the amount of water to 1.5 gallons. Hopefully that will produce enough runoff for taking measurements. It’s going to be a painfully difficult task to take readings but I really need to know what the condition of the soil is right now. Will not be using any nutrients this time considering the runoff was kind of high when I fed on 4/10. This seems a little risky though since it has been 11 days since a nutrient feed, but I’d rather not burn the plants by blindly adding nutrients. Will return. Hopefully with measurements. (some amount of time later) Tap water: 245ppm, 6.1 pH (9 gallons) pH Down: 30ml JB#1 - 2730ppm, 7.0 pH JB#2 - 2290ppm, (pH pen died again on this plant) AP#1 - 2380ppm, 6.9 pH AP#2 - 3610ppm (seems extremely high), 7.0 pH GC#1 - 2320ppm, 6.9 pH GC#2 - 2340ppm, 7.1 pH I don’t know what was up with the measurements on the AP#2. The saucers the pots are sitting in are a little small so I think the ppm might have been reading high because the bottom of the fabric pot was sitting in the runoff. Maybe I’m just saying that to reassure myself. Either way, the 3000+ ppm seemed very off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 66: 04/24/2021 Defoliation + weaving/securing branches through SCRoG. I'm not 100% sure that the SCRoG was the most optimal technique of choice given the very limited space within the grow tent. Also, I almost feel like I installed the screen a little late. Maybe not? Either way, I have read about them and the potential of increased yields, which got me excited enough to build one to try out for myself. I was aware going into it that there would be some difficulties using a SCRoG. I can no longer move my pots around is the main thing. Not being able to move the pots around has increased the difficulty factor of watering/feeding. I now have to access 3 different sides of the tent to get all 6 plants. I've clipped all the ties holding the branches down from previous LST sessions. There was just no way I was going to spend hours weaving in and out of all the ties trying to water each plant while also dealing with the difficulties of a SCRoG obstructing the work space. That would also wreck my poor back. From here, things are going to get real exciting. Tomorrow (04/25) I am rescheduling the light cycle to 12/12 to initiate flowering. Another 60-70 days to go, growing buds and packing on trichomes. With that said, I'm excited to have made it through my very first full vegetative cycle. I've definitely made my fair share of mistakes, as expected, but as long as I keep learning from them future harvest will only continue to increase in quality and yield. Thank you for stopping by and checking out the diary this week! All your kind words and encouragement are fuel. Until next time! 🙏

I’m curious to see what happens if I grow a Cream Cookies in this bonsai pot. This pot has been the house of my old Ficus Retusa that unexpectedly died this winter. RIP 🙏 I don’t know the capacity, but I’ll take some measures. I’ll be growing this baby indoor for the first weeks, and mainly outdoor for the flowering period. I think I’ll top her once so I’ll be able to spread every branch around to make her flatter. Not much expectations, just having some fun! 😃 Day 1 (April 12, 2019): planted the seed Day 4 (April 15, 2019): sprout
