It has been another amazing week of the plants growing. I have been watching as the Fruity Freak leaves become progressively more fern-like, and ornamental as a result! Based on my Banizzle grows, I knew I needed to understand plant nutrients in a more meaningful way if I wanted these plants to thrive. So, I decided to get a soil test (see Ref. 1 below on how to perform a test) to understand what nutrients my plants needed. The report I received advised that I needed to add 200 lbs/acre of nitrogen, 150 lbs/acre of phosphorus, and 190 lbs/acre of potassium (see picture labeled Pic.1 (FYI you can't see these images unless you login to growdiaries)). I then researched what to do with my results (Ref. 2 helped), and I figured out that my nutrient needs of 200-150-190 fall close to a 2-1-2 ratio. I then looked at different types of organic fertilizers (see Ref. 3 and Ref. 4) and considered that I already had a 3-10-5 fertilizer (Vermibloom) on hand. I discovered Dr Earth’s Alfalfa Meal is 2-1-2 and includes beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizae (to promote healthy plant growth and disease resistance). However, I knew I would be low on nitrogen if I only used those two fertilizers. Therefore, I decided to buy some blood meal (12-0-0). I also liked that blood meal is more fast acting while the other two are more moderate. I hunted around for a solid fertilizer calculator and found an amazing tool from the University of Georgia Extension (Ref. 5). I entered all three fertilizers into the calculator, and it kicked out the exact amount of each fertilizer I needed to apply to 1 square foot (see Pic. 2). As I am using 10-gallon fabric pots (that can hold 1.5 cubic feet, but I put stone on the bottom and there’s space left at the top) I decided to use the one square foot application rate as I can always add more later, but I can’t take it away. Not only did I want to understand the nutrients I needed, but I also wanted to understand the structure of the soil (as it was not included in my test results). North Dakota State University has a nice page that discusses this (Ref. 6), and I performed a soil ribbon test (see Video 1) based on this information. I determined my soil to be medium textured (which is great), but I have seen occasional water pooling on the surface, suggesting that it may be more of a medium-fine. This means adding peat moss, coco coir, or other amendments might improve drainage (and plant hydration) and allow for roots to grow more easily. In the long run, I plan to use compost to enhance the soil structure and nutrients. I filled the bottom of my 10-gallon fabric pots with a ½” of pea stone to allow for drainage (Pic. 3). I then partially filled two 5-gallon buckets with topsoil from near where I will plant (but not in an area the roots will reach). I used a digital scale to measure the amount of fertilizers recommended by the calculator (Pic. 4, 5, and 6) and added it to one of the 5-gallon buckets (see Pic. 7). I mixed the fertilizers into the soil as evenly as possible (Pic. 8 and 9). I then poured a two-inch layer of non-fertilized soil, then peat moss, and then fertilized soil (in a roughly 2:1:1 ratio) and blended them together. I repeated this until the pot was full (getting additional soil as needed), and then I repeated the process for the other three pots. I set the filled fabric pots in my garage (Pic. 10) for two days to allow any upset bugs to flee into my garage instead of my house. I then moved the pots (wrapping them in a contractor garbage bag to prevent making a mess) into the room with the grow light. I placed a board on top of the fabric pots to insulate the plants (in their smaller pots) from the cold soil (Pic. 11). Once the soil in the fabric pots reaches room temperature, I will transplant. (Ref. 1) This video shows the method I used to take a soil sample. I didn’t have a field to test, so I took four samples from the area where I will eventually plant outdoors and blended them together. I then mailed my soil sample off to the lab, and about a week later, I received an email with a PDF of my results (included with my pictures this week). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AwxmFxBwg&t=8s (Ref. 2) This video from the University of Minnesota Extension (many universities have agriculture extensions that can assist you with soil testing and growing information for your area) discusses what to do with your soil testing results: https://youtu.be/HYrkcfE62Pg (Ref. 3) This is a nice article that discusses organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.grow-it-organically.com/npk-fertilizer.html (Ref. 4) This article lists the NPK values of many organic fertilizer solutions: https://www.epicgardening.com/organic-fertilizers/ (Ref. 5) Many websites tout a fertilizer calculator…but this one is hands down the best I have found. If you scroll down to the bottom, you can enter any fertilizer type you want (and the cost, if you want). It will give you the exact blend of multiple fertilizers to solve your nutrient deficiencies (I included a snapshot of the solution I used in my pictures). https://aesl.ces.uga.edu/soil/fertcalc/ (Ref. 6) This is an excellent article that discusses how to evaluate your soil: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/publications/evaluating-preparing-and-amending-lawn-and-garden-soil

Les plantes sont totalement givré,une forte odeur se dégage de la tente je ne serais dire ce que c'est. Une tige c'est brisé sous l'effet de la chaleur par conséquent changement d'ambiance pour ces dames. - cette semaine j'ai enlevé les petites têtes qui n'allait pas gonflée pour permettre à la plante de rédiger l'énergie vers les colas principaux. Pour finir une des gorilla sherbet a des teintes rougeâtre violet a voir.

Only ran 2 plants, one was good one was poor. Pretty stretchy. Decent terps and high, but it ain't got nothing on Platinum Jelly. About 20% rosin return.

I also have runtz muffin, Critical +, and green poison seedlings in here.(for now) these will eventually be outdoor in coco. Thats a different diary to do. Lol but for now this is my indoor set up. Shout out @420fastbuds & @Tastebudz @barneysfarm

🌿 Permanent Marker – Pheno #1 | Harvest Report (Part 1) (Week 13 From Seed / Week 9 Flower — The Tall Mama’s Story) ⸻ 🌟 A Gentle Apology To Start… Before diving into this week’s update, I want to offer a small apology to everyone following this diary. Because of the new file limitations, I once again had to divide the harvest and trim documentation into separate weeks. This pheno was massive, and naturally… she produced an unbelievable amount of media — photos, videos, details from every angle. So to avoid losing anything, here is Part 1 of her harvest story. Thank you for your understanding, and thank you to GrowDiaries for continuing to improve the platform. 💚 ⸻ 🌸 Harvest – Pheno #1 (The One Who Aimed for the Moon) If Pheno #2 was compact elegance, then Pheno #1 was pure cosmic energy. From the moment she started stretching, she refused to stop — tall, powerful, expressive, and full of character. And in the end? She delivered 249 grams of dry, cured, beautifully aromatic medicine. A true queen. What defined her: • Thick, dense, resin-rich buds • Rich coloration during late flower • Loud aroma that filled the dry room • A structure that felt sculpted rather than grown Even though she stretched to the stars, her bud formation was surprisingly compact and tight, even tighter than her sister’s. Different phenos, different personalities — and both extraordinary. ⸻ Drying & Trim (Narrative Summary) Pheno #1 followed the same journey as her sister: – harvested whole – hung as a complete plant – left to dry naturally in stable conditions – trimmed entirely by hand with scissors and fingers – every bud selected and shaped with care – stored and cured properly in Grove Bags Her weight settled at 249 grams after cure — clean, stable, fragrant. During trimming and curing, her personality truly revealed itself: Floral elements, deep sweetness, that unmistakable Permanent Marker sharpness, and an intensity that promises beautiful experiences. The volume of resin was immediately noticeable — sticky fingers and loud aromas from the moment the scissors touched her. ⸻ 🌈 Aroma & Expression Even before final cure, she was exploding with character: – louder terpenes than expected – thick resin presence – bold colors in late flower translating into rich tones in the final buds – beautifully clean burn and expressive flavors She truly embodies the lineage she comes from. ⸻ 🌿 Why This Update Is Split Simply put: she was huge — and I documented everything. With GrowDiaries’ new upload restrictions, it’s safer to do this in two parts than to risk losing files halfway. Part 2 will come next week, with the remaining photos, videos, and impressions from her drying and curing evolution. ⸻ 🏆 Dognabis Cup – A Little Reminder The Dognabis Cup continues beautifully.

Had a hermie in the tent, so i took that plant out and filled up the space with suppercropping the other plants. Next update in a few days with more photos.

Deleafed on D75 and put in darkness for 2days. Chopped and hung in tent for 9 days. Smoked up a fair bit before weighing so easily would of been over 3oz dry which was pretty surprising considering the problems. Bud has a strong fuel taste and smell with a little fruitiness.

And she is alone in her house, her sisters left the place and wen do their stuff in different places living this one just for her hihi and i fell like she did like the idea since all the others are autos and moving to fast for her, true being said after they leave she woke up a beast inside her and start growing way faster hihii Man she is a beauty of the goods, so freaky from day one and i fell she will be a freak the all time , and a beautiful one hehe lets see, for now she is growing amazing and cute af, no changes on anything keeping it all the same as last week, did notice the RH was running low so increase that as you guys can see in the time lapse trailer i mede just for fun, this is a little project i have going on and the idea is a full video in the end with a complete from seed to harvest one , lets see how it all goes <3 <3 <3 For naw that is it, lets see how this week goes hehehe but have a felling she will evolve so much lets see , i am defiantly noticing an increase on her grown <3 <3 <3 And with the week coming to an end i look at her and fell the need to transplant her to a slightly bigger pot and by doing this i was able to had some mycorrhizae to help boost her roots and with that it all, she did great this week cant wait for the next one to go and to see how will this beauty of nature grow in her own freaky funky way, something i am just loving the world so far <3 <3 <3 She keeps growing and i think faster now but lets keep the eye out and we will find that out very soon hihihi <3 <3 <3 Just amazing , every day i see notorious changes on her , very exiting hihihihi As always thank you all for stoping by , for the love and for it all, i fell blessed to have you all with me for one more love journey, and a different one form the rest i did so far <3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dogdoctorofficial #growerslove

Hey now, this week went pretty good, the buds are about done bulking up, and just waiting on the trichomes, I was really hoping she would be about ready, but I think she needs another week to week and a half total. The buds are rock hard, and super sticky. I have no clue what she will yield because the colas are not that thick, but there are definitely alot of them. I plan to squeeze her into rosin, and hopefully I can break the 25% mark for the first time with her, but we will see. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the videos, Happy Memorial Day Family, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!!

Did LST and topped Pheno 1 & 2, 3 is too funky to mess with. I think PH was just my issue and possible too high intensity light as I lowered to 60%, but also brought my PH to 6.5 so I'm guessing that helped too.

Day 64 02/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag. Day 66 04/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today only. Smell is really coming on strong now!! Day 68 06/09/24 Friday Feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Day 69 07/09/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Mould 😔🤦‍♂️ Absolutely gutted!! Had a very humid past 3 days, wet with no wind... 2 plants have suffered... Auto Orange Bud has lost a side branch. Auto critical orange punch has lost her main colar, and 2 sides, the yeild is going be to now be appalling, but this is due to environmental, not the seed or genetics, as far as they go this was one of the strongest and biggest in the group Day 70 08/09/24 Sunday (END of week) Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. ☠️ Auto critical orange punch 🍊👊 Had to remove completely, after isolating the rest of the greenhouse, mould persistently grew on her. The remaining plants after 2 days isolation have been moved indoor to finish underground 600w hps and a more controlled environment.

The plant was freshly defoliated this week, opening up the canopy and exposing all major bud sites to better light and airflow. Stretch is nearly finished and the structure looks very even, with strong, upright branches and well-spaced internodes. Early purple coloration is already visible in the calyxes, confirming a nice expression of the Banana Purple Punch genetics. Overall the plant looks healthy, stress-free, and ready to start stacking buds over the next weeks.

good day :) here she is, the long-awaited girl cookies:) in another week, she will travel to a 40x40x120 cm growing box, and 50 w light:) it will be interesting to travel with her :)

hi i think i will wait a few more days to harvest the frichomes are not yet ripe and that's good i still have too many green leaves on the plants. a light watering to hold 3 to 4 days and harvest. ciao ciao🤣🤣😃😃😃

So my struggles are finally paying off my girls went into flower!!! Northern lights- did some low stress training to bring main cola down away from light. Added some vinegar in bowls and shot glasses to grow tent to control these flying knats(which bite). Pineapple auto- she's in flower I'm just concerned with all the lower leaf issue's that it's going to affect buds. I've over watered this plant which started the leaf issue's at like 3 weeks. At week 4 I trimmed all the fan leaves off which put it in stress almost haulting all growth for a week. Oh and the knats! I will never use walmart soil again for my grows or house plants. The neem oil has really knocked alot of them out. So the leaf burn and star leaves began at week 5 and it was the only feeding i gave my plants with cal mag and within 2 days the throwing star leaves and burning began.. not sure if it was the cal mag or the knats being so bad at that time. But thru all of it this plant has been a fighter!! You can see in pics the new growth and bud sights are healthy so I hope she fights all the way to the end! I would like to thank Growdiaires and it's community for the opportunity to help and share with others. I appreciate all help, views, likes, comments and support. We all share a common interest and knowledge is power! Thanks again till next week.
