This plant was a dream to grow, wish I'd taken cuts. Halfway through dry at 7 days. Drying at 55 - 60 % RH and 17 - 19 degrees C. I anticipate she'll be done between 10 - 14 days total dry time and I'll then trim and update weights on this Harvest. 133.75g total after trim. She's a nice smoke, very happy.

Finally I meet you… she’s flowering and guess what I’ve done, due to an foreseen circumstance, going to be away for a month, and all I know is my babies will get water and rain if it does rain, Sad days ahead, however at least the are sheltered from the rising temperatures. As good as it is, guess what this genius does… you guessed it, i defoliated my babies. I hope my decision rewards me, I will surely find out when I return in September, I thought of getting my assistant to send me pictures so I can keep posting, however I think it’s best I stay completely away from posting. This will truly test my growing skill, not forgetting my building skill when it comes to the greenhouse, with temperatures rising I will finally see if this self ventilate design will keep humidity at a desirable level to promote adequate growth, I have not encountered any fungal or pest isssues, but usually problems arise during the hot seasons.

1st of September. This week I thinned out the whole plant again and took out some small side branches that didn’t get enough sun. I tried maximise the airflow inside the plant. I m super impressed how thick the stem already is. The flowers r growing too, but still a bit slow. I m excited for the next weeks. Also I fertilised with an organic bloom fertilizer. This fertilizer is beside from the seeds the only thing I bought from a growshop. I think regarding the growing there is so so much equipment that is not needed when you are growing on a hobby level.

DAY 63 THE FINALE !!!!! Howdy all. I hope we are all well and in the green. This has been a very interesting and rewarding journey for me in so many ways on this journal. I have had the opportunity to run a seed of my own which has been a brilliant result from what I am looking at as I type this. It stayed really squat and has produced some somid hand grenade sized buds that smell of a diesel and fruit combination. I also picked up the lemon from her pollen chuckers genetics too. Should be an interesting cure I hope. I did find a couple of bud rot spots that had to be pulled out but with her density I am not shocked at all. I will be using the dehumidifier for their dry for sure. The Northern lights autos have also finished nicely too and I do think could go a little longer with a push but time is up and the next run is looming !!!!!!. She has some great sized spiked colas to enjoy my attention everytime I go in the room . Just like the other girl , she did have a couple of mould spots that had to be taken out but not too much of a loss thankfully. Her mutant sister will also be put into her dark 48hrs along with these as she is also done now. She has a lot less to harvest but looks so sweet and potent up close to the buds now. I took the Gorilla cookies out earlier in the week as they had finished perfectly. After 48hrs dark I used the bowl trimmer to help with time and get her off the stalks as I did find some mould on them too. Recent environmental changing has bought RH issues to the front again. They have given up some great smelling and solid nuggets that are now starting their drying out period in the nets. The rest of the ladies will be joining them later in the week until I can do a harvest report and my opinion of this amazing light unit from viparspectra. With new projects afoot and lots of re jigging to accommodate them , I am looking forward to the next few runs too. I hope you will join me for the fun and always welcome comments and ideas too. Be safe and well growmies

14.1.25: I've been readjusting the LST. I just took all the pegs out and reshaped her. I got some new LST equipment in the mail today, have been glad to have more pegs. I got some clips too, but they don't seem to stay on 😕 I'm currently only using the pegs, I have some thicker soft wire, but I forgot I don't have pliers to cut it! Also I'm running very low on Biobizz nutrients, so that could be bad 🤞 18.1.25: I have done another large defoliation on PPP1 and PPP2. Also, moderate defoliation on all other plants today. All LST ties and pegs are readjusted. I have turned up the light to 90%. Same distance of between 24-28 inches, depending on height of specific plant. I have increased the dosage of Biobizz Bio-Grow and Fish Mix to give an extra boost of Nitrogen as several plants were showing yellowing. They have responded very well to this. Unfortunately I ran out of my Biobizz nutrients and PH UP. I'm currently using Bicarbonate of Soda to increase the PH after the nutes PH comes out to about 4.1. Obviously, that uses a lot and I only had a 250ml bottle, which I used last run too. This run I have 9 plants. The only thing I'm worried about is the salt build up. Have you used it before? Or any other natural way to increase PH? Please let me know! I've also added Biobizz Fish Mix to help with the extra Nitrogen needed. Watering with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;- ♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix ♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish. I water with this every 3 days. I did order some more Biobizz Bio-Grow and Bio Bloom. I found some at a reasonable price on Amazon. I still have about 800 ml of Biobizz Fish Mix left, too. It is fairly expensive this time as the plants are hungrier this run. I also got a new bag of Canna coco, which I may use to add a top dress with some dry amendments. Which hopefully will save some cash on the bottled nutrients and stretch out until the end of this run without having to buy anymore. I have purchased a funnel to pour the water. It is difficult, due to the shape of my LST, to water precisely. I have spilt it all over the tent several times 🙄 I've also ordered a 2 litre jug. Currently, I'm mixing water for 9 plants individually in a 1 litre jug. It's tideous. Hopefully, this will solve the issues. Cleaning the tent after watering every time isn't my idea of efficiency 😅 Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Note : + jegliches Zubehör wird in der GermniationsWoche aufgelistet . Zeitraffer Videos folgen immer nachträglich. + videos werden so geschnitten das nur ein geschlossenes Zelt erscheint , ergo Fehlen paar reale Minuten (ca 1 Std) . + Feuerzeug ist 7.5cm hoch und 1.7cm breit + WEIHNACHTS ZEITRAFFER 2024- SPEZIAL HINZUGEFÜHGT !!! Ich hab keine Ahnung was es wiegt , da ich keine Zugwage hatte. Ich hoffe die Bilder geben ungefähr wieder was es wohl werden wird . Eigentlich hab ich nur gegossen und gedüngt, den Rest hat der Zwerg selber gemacht. Hätte nie gedacht soviel aus dem Zwerg zu bekommen. Update : hochgerechnet waren es 550g nass. Getrocknet : 99g mit Popkorn Buds aber weitgehenst von Stängeln befreit bzw jede knospe einzelnt abgeschnitten, ausser bei den TopBuds .

Hello everyone, weed brothers! these beautiful buds get bigger and bigger and their nutrition line is quite stable! their growth is going really well!

The week started off rough because I noticed light stress and what I thought to be a potassium deficiency. The growth was non existant, but after some research I raised my light from 36 - 40" and set the dimmer to level 4. On top of this I dropped the RH from 65 to 60 and once I did this within the next hours I saw the leaves begin to purk back up. This was also my 1st time feeding my plants a compost tea which I made from Green waste compost, bio char, bokashi, fish hydrosolate powder, azomite, langbanite, humic acid, Fish Sh!t, insect frass, and kelp meal. I airated the compost tea in a 5 gallon bucket for 24 hours before drenching the soil with it, and I added some Recharge by Real Growers after the compost tea. This week's IPM; -Mosquito bits -Regalia -Venerate -Attak

Definitely happy with the grow and the quality of the smoke

8/2 Fed two gallons this morning and took some hurried pictures. Did SLIGHT defoliation of dead leaves. Didn't have much time to inspect things. I'll check things out later this afternoon. Need to go in at night and see what critters are about. Woke very late so it was a very hurried morning. Rained last night like I expected. It's 68 at 9:30 and looks like rain. 8/3 Nice and sunny and 80 at noon. Didn't water as it rained last night nor did I get a chance to defoliate. After seeing a comment about mites I decided to break out the ol 100x scope. I took random samplings of leaves on different plants. I found ZERO mites. Just because I didn't find any doesn't mean they aren't there but it brings my anxiety down a little. While looking I did notice something is munching leaves. I wanted to use something to continue treatment for WPM and any random bugs but I may need to use captain jack's. I have lady bugs and don't want to kill them but I might just have too. I don't know if earwigs are a big problem or the holes are from pillars or hoppers or whatever else. Observing the weather and the 40 degree mornings and the wind tunnel I seem to be in, I don't see mites setting up shop or sticking around too long in these conditions. Either way if I missed something the IPM will get it. I bought general hydroponics cool bloom that I'm considering switching from tiger bloom. My tiger bloom is from last year and it seems to be crystalized a little in the bottom. We shall see. This is the last year of liquid nutes I hope. 8/4 Watered this morning and defoliated dead leaves. Looking on the inside of the plants I've noticed what looks like small leaves by bud sites dying or being chomped on. Not a single fucking aphid anywhere. I think those earwigs got a taste for those sweet lower bud sites and may be causing damage. It kinda helped as all they did was lollipop a couple lower branches in spots. Still I believe it will become a problem if left unchecked. Plan is to treat plants tonight with captain Jack's. I have a little more research to do but I believe that's the route I'll take. I noticed some pillar holes and other assorted pests so I think now's a good time to hit them with the Spinosid. Plants are looking good though. I can see cola's forming and hairs coming together to make small buds. What a great time. I have so much to do but I'm so busy with the other things going on it's hard to keep up. I'll update as I progress. Plans are fluid. 8/5 Topsoil was dry despite the rain we had so I watered and defoliated what needed and pruned some inner branches I missed yesterday. I don't like leaving exposed matter when it's wet. It's not supposed to rain until around 1pm. I'm getting frustrated. I can't find the earwigs anymore and "life" had kept me from being the best gardener I could be. Last year I woulda been out with a spray bottle every night looking for them. I need to visit the garden at night. I think I need to lower my pH too. Hopefully the apple cider vinegar spray I plan to use will help some. The water going in is good so I don't get how the pH is higher at the root zone. I've seen random damage from different pests. Tonight I'm putting petroleum jelly on the stalks and anywhere the bugs can climb up. I also plan on spraying spinosid tonight. I will update as I progress. The traps I made haven't caught a single bug. A little frustrated this morning but the garden looks gorgeous. 8/6 Rained last night. This wet weather sucks. Found a couple spots where bud shoots had been eaten as well as other tell tale signs. It's got to be those earwigs. I've researched my ass off and have none of the normal pests I usually would this time of year. Especially aphids. I have lady bugs but no way they controlled pests this well. More likely the wigs ran out of food and got a taste for nice cannabis shoots and leaves. I can't seem to make it happen at night so this morning I liberally sprayed all plants with a gallon of captain Jack's dead bug at 2tbsp a gallon as recommended. Spinosid works good and I've used it in the past with BT. Should take care of whatever. I sprayed around the cage too but I couldn't find anything. I read Spinosid is good at controlling those fucking earwigs too. Did you know earwigs are 20 million years old and the only species in their genus. I certainly didn't. I see leaf septoria all over the foliage around. By around I mean just driving or walking in the woods. It seems bad this year. At least it hasn't gotten to my garden yet. Garden is away from most other vegetation. I have ONE plant In that 30 gallon tote at the back outside my cage that I can tell has leaf septoria 💯. I don't know if I should cull it or try to fight it. I'll pick up a copper based fungicide and try first. I'm at that point where this plant was just extra and neglected so maybe it would be better of somewhere else. I may just isolate it. Hurried morning. No time for defoliation not pictures. I will update as I go. I will start apple cider vinegar spray probably tomorrow after I feed. I'm researching how to check my pH with an indicator liquid. Maybe I can get a better idea of the pH at my root zone. Those soil meters suck. Update I went for a hike just to check out the foliage in the area. I'm lucky. Japanese beetles have stripped a lot of vegetation around here but have luckily left my cannabis alone. I've killed like four total. I also noticed tons of fungal infections in trees (different area from my grow but within a mile). Hopefully I can come to decision about treating or culling that plant. 8/7 Looks like it's going to be a good day weather wise. Like I said my tiger bloom has what seems like small crystals that rattle when I shake the bottle. I know it's probably better to use one line of products but I switched to GH liquid cool bloom 0-10-10. It came highly recommended so we shall see. Plants seem to be doing well with the transition to flower. They look healthy despite the little ones outside the cage and the one with the fungal infection. Even that has nice tops it's just the bottom that looks fucked up. I think I'll bring it away from the others and attempt to treat it. Luckily it was just an experiment and a bag seed. After taking a hike I realized I'm quite lucky. Local foliage has been skeletonized by japanese beetles. This relentless rain has brought about fungal infections in trees, shrubs and even fruiting plants like blackberries. Things could definitely be much worse. I'm picking up a fungicide today to treat that plant. PM seems to be in check for now but I'll need to stay on top of it. Also need to try to get litmus paper or something to test soil pH. Meter is junk. I have indicator liquid though. I'll update as I progress. 8/8 Its been raining almost every night. Another challenge for the outdoor grower. I defoliated more leaves this morning. I noticed previous damage on bud sites that appears to be from earwigs. Also dead sugar leaves on new bud shoots down low and inside. Glad I got the Spinosid treatment in. At least whatever ate it will be dead. Need to still figure out what to do with that plant and whether it has leaf septoria or just a more advanced powdery mildew. I'm in town now and I'm planning to pick up a copper based fungicide just in case. I may isolate the one plant and treat everything and go from there. It's a large plant but seems to have lost most of its leaves. Not sure if switching the nutes was a good idea as I read that tiger bloom doesn't really expire and it's made to go with the rest of the nutes I'm using. Next week I need to stay on top of treatments and continuing to monitor for PM or other damage. Other than that plants look healthy and are transitioning to flower pretty well. Sunny and Tempe reached 90. RH is stupid high

this week should be my last veg week before the great darkness haha hopefully they keep stretching during the week they are looking amazing today house and garden are amazing in hydro Van De Zwaan! whatever that mean haha

Week was pretty successful. Only problems I had was my PH out of wack due to the lava rocks. Ever since i took them out PH has been pretty stable. I check it every 2-3 days to keep at 5.8 to 6.2 range. I am up for suggestions on the medium.. should i keep it in or just leave them to sit at the bottom of the net pots? Any help will do for this grow. Thanks

Beginning of the second week of flowering. One has not yet shown its sex, it appears to be indica, but it is full of pre-flowers. The largest is 47 cm, the smallest around 30. 09/10 - Now it's 58 cm, this sativa doesn't stop growing. The indica has not shown sex yet despite having pre-flowers everywhere. It doesn't seem stuck to me, as it continues branching, but the height hasn't changed almost anything. 10/10 She reached 65 cm. The others are 50 cm. The last plant that was missing to show the sex, came very late, it had all branched before showing the sex, unlike the others, and unfortunately it was a male, already dead. She just looked indica, but was a long sativa male. Of the 5, 3 females (2 in organic soil, 1 being fertilized and the other in inert soil) 2 males dead 11/10 - It is 72 cm. It is colossal, I had to tie it up at the top, as I didn't have enough space to lift the bulb and it was starting to burn some of the tips of the leaves. It's better to have mild, temporary stress than heat and burning stress, which is worse in the long term. The others grow well, gaining weight, without problems with height.

35 days!!! When I returned from vacation, I found her a little tired:) as far as I know, the weather wasn't very good, but the last 3 days we've had really sunny weather, so even though the girl lives on the north side of the house, she's still maturing there:) she looks really good :) good luck to everyone.

Day 43. Girls are stretching to the moon !!! Noticed that almost an hour after lights on and two hours before lights go off - plants droopy/sleepy asf. Reduced to 18 hours . Plan heavy feed next watering and will have to SuperCrop both Monster Alaskan Diesel's. All runs good, thinking to change positioning into 2332 instead of 5 rows by two. Some plants are insanely big , even for autos and some are so so, so I think I put more efforts into main two and will reduce light for 4 weakest ones. My Rh stays in high 70, thinking defoliation will be a must too ... Let's see how they will take heavy feed and training ... Day 45. After heavy feed - they went like this ;))) I don't know what happen , but 928 ppm at second week of flower was never so heavy in my all grows ... Those plants just hate feed ... Maybe my soil is finally good and full of life ... Very lost ... Hope they bounce back, if no - again 3-4 pure phed water watering and fingers crossed ... ;))) I left out silica in this feed even and it was still too much ! Day 46. All back to normal. Think low temps and big amount of water, drowned them a bit, will reduce quantity of water during next sessions. P.S. I don't have gnats anymore !!! Bought soil, it was infected, never change sticky traps during grow, they still work. P.S.2 I can't have pH issues, two blue lab pens works at same time. Aways follow strick number, always use dehlorination It was a strange one, otherwise I wouldn't ask for help. Overwatered plants drop leaves, but no so low and for so please long ! Pots are lighter, so all is good. I put now 50 liters into girls during session, collect all spillage and run off, have about a liter each time. Happy Growing !!!

She has been Chopped 20/07/24 Saturday Buds wet weight 937g Wet trim and larf 167g Over all 1104g That's over a kilo from a auto 😁👌💚 Very pleased!!! The buds have been wet trimmed and I have updated picture. I have now hung all buds in the dark dry tent for 7-10 days. I do not weigh the base what's the point. But here is are buds hanging, and the chopped base pic- with root zone 😍 Check back for cure and smoke review in a few weeks. So disappointed my other 3 terp tree.co seeds failed. I will try this breeder one last time and hope the photos come strong and germinate 🤞 Thanks to everyone who has followed my journey with this one, it's been fun. Keep growing and smoking you legends ✌️💚

Crop King guarantees 80% germination rate... All 5 beans popped. 💪 When I was initially buying all of my equipment, I had not a f*cking clue what I was doing or what I would need. 😂 Swapped out the plastic pots for Vivosun 3 gal fabric pots, bought the 5 gal to transplant but decided against it later since all 5 plants were healthy and growing fast and my space was limited... Also didn't fully grasp the mechanics and procedures of Drain-To-Waste Hydroponics at the time but I'll post the automated build I added at the appropriate week of veg... And it wasn't until a couple weeks ago that I started doing the proper research into lights, spectrums, PPFD, PAR, etc... but these two lights (the blurple came with the tent, the other was from a brand called iSmile on Amazon; 130w and 105w actual wattage) were plenty to make it through veg and into preflower before I upgraded to the Sunraise QB2000...
