Installed Viparspectra XS1500 Pro bringing the total wattage to 250W. I will be installing (2) Viparspectra P2000 and moving the Vivosun VS100 (100W) eventually to a new 2x2 tent for eventual perpetual grow bringing the total wattage in the 4x4. Current 4x4 1 Viparspectra XS1500 (150W) 1 Vivosun VS1000 (100W) = 250W Eventual 4x4 2 Viparspectra P2000 (240w) 1 Viparspectra XS1500 (150W) = 480 - 630W Eventual 2x2 Vivosun VS1000 (100W) = 100W No Nutes, only Recharge, will be applying top dressing next week for the 3 gal Gelato X Purple Punch in pre flower.

Report on week 3 of veg: I lower the RH to 50-55% while the RM stays relatively on the higher range: 27-29C daytime and 18-22 at night. I had nice visual on the 6th node of BB3, Larry Bird and Gelato plants and few cm. to avoid any eventual stem splitting, so i topped them. I guess the Gorilla will be ready for topping by tomorrow. Unfortunately i have to work with hard water so i have to keep constant eye on the water's EC. For this reason and from personal experience i wont increase the nutrients dosage any time before flowering. The high percentage of worm castings is doing wonders and help me a lot with the substrate's maintance. I did some runoff water measurements and end up with the following values: Gorilla had 2.75EC and 6.5pH, Gelato got 2.70/6.6, Larry 2.85/6.7 and BB 2.20/6.9. Substrate pH is 7.0. Once again, I have to say that Sunmaster's Dual Spectrum HPS are indeed super powerful lamps. I added another clip-fan to ensure a nice breeze around the plants. I will follow the general rule of thumb and give the plants 10-14 days to recover from the HST. Once i week i spray the plants with foliar iron-based nutrient solution馃憡 (Plagron Vita Race). It boosts the photosynthesis, plus it washes and cleans the leaves. P.s. only the Larry Bird is topped on the pictures. I topped other two today, but i didnt want to switch-off the lights in order to take pictures. Peace!

Somewhat slacking with detailed photos from this week, been busy with the holidays/ family etc. hopefully should have a little more time to take some good ones for next week.. Not much to say, they are getting quite big! some more lower branches and leaves were removed and I've been watering every other day, about .5-.75 gal per plant until I see some run off and the top looks evenly moist. End of week 1 of flower and there are Lots of white pistils, a pleasant smell (controlled by my filter/vent) and some major stretching happening on the strongest branches. Already raised the light by a few inches twice now too keep the distance over 12 inches from these stretchy ones! 馃槒 Also found a large healthy looking seed in my grinder that I've saved (Mac 1 supposedly, its good smoke)

This week I top dressed, as it had been about a month since the last one. 7.7.25: 馃挌 2 Cups Worm Castings 馃挌 1 Cup Canna Coco 馃挌 1 Cup Perlite *I use this as my base for the top dressing, adding the dry amendments to this so as not to burn the plants, by evenly distributing a slower release feed. Thanks to the Worm Castings. Dry Amendments 馃А 1 TBS Ecothrive Charge 馃А 1 TBS Ecothrive Life Cycle 馃А 1 TBS Ground Cinnamon I watered this in with 2ltrs PH'd to 6.4 containing the following nutrients; 馃挏 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys 馃挏 3ml Ecothrive Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 377. She has a very short bushy structure to her, and we aren't gaining much height yet. I haven't had a plant like this before, so we'll see what happens. On the next day, 8.7.25, I topped the plant. This may be an issue with the height in the end, but I want the LST to be able to be evenly split. 11.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.6 containing the following nutrients; 馃挏 3ml Ecothrive Trace 馃挏 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PH: 6.6 PPM: 400 Thanks for checking out my diary for this week, and hanging out 馃挌 鉁岋笍 馃崈 馃槉 馃尡

Have to up nutrients and sort out these deficiency's or PH you inbalance is what I think the culprit is She lives in the other tent now with some photos for a different diary in the making.

Hello everyone, what's growing on? So lads, this week I'll add some Big Bud Coco in their nutrition. Day 43 - The plants were defoliated and removed some of the bottom buds that weren't developing well, so to avoid waste of energy and nutrients. I hope this help the main colas in their grow. Day 46 - They are doing great and I already can sense from the flowers. The plant 1 is spreading well and with an even canopy, while the plant 2 is getting very dense and bushy. Both of them are being trained daily. Because of the hot days we had, they got 500mL a day before light time.

A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth. It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did. The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow. I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet. On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

Week 12 over! Cant believe how fast this last 3 months has gone! My 6 ladies are powering on and just keep getting bigger and bigger. They have had 2 nute feeds this week and now 2 flush feeds. Planning on going with a 10 day flush. I will continue to upload pictures throughout the week as I'll be asking for a experienced opinion on when to chop. So far I'm seeing literally 1 or 2 amber trichs on the biggest of the 6 but no anywhere else. I'm thinking this is a good sign that my target of cropping next Sunday is still on track. That would be exactly 13 weeks. Buds are looking so so dense. Hard to get a photo that does them justice but the biggest colas are 75mm thick! If your here then please also check out my new diaries where I'm running 3 FastBuds strains. These will be going in my environment as soon as the stardawgs are jarred up.
