30 Jan 2022 Grow tent running now 30 days now. Oldest plant is about 20 days old and youngest plant is about 10 days old. Of the 9 plants 8 plants are doing great only the 2nd Blueberry Banana is suffering a bit, i'll keep an eye on it if don't get better in a few i'll remove and I change it with a new seed. In the pass week i moved the lamp at 40cm from the ground and till yesterday i runned the lap at 75% of his power , from today 30-1 the lamp is running at 100% of his power. Light regime ☀️21/3🌑 temp ☀️25/28.5 🌑 17.5/24 🌧️☀️🌧️

Transplanted into larger containers with fresh soil. The soil is a blend of Peat Moss one Perlite. I then mixed some older soil with the new Peat/Perlite blend. After the transplant I watered with Recharge to help get some healthy microbes starting to develop in the soil. In addition to transplanting the 2 existing Blackberry's I also planted a fresh seed. It should be interesting to compare the new seeds growth started in fresh soil compared with the girls who struggled in the old soil. I'm hoping to see some nice improvements over the next few weeks. Stay tuned...

D49 - The first day in the third week of flower, and all is well. I still haven't seen any thrips on her, but you can never be too careful since I have them in my other tent, so I went full Rambo by cutting up a package and using a teaspoon to place predatory mites on her leaves and taking care to avoid the flowers. I also redirected the airflow to not blow directly on her and I'll leave the sawdust there until tomorrow and then brush it off. D53 - Not much to report really, except that I switched on the UV light. She is just doing her thing, slowly fattening her buds. D55 - I gave her 1.2-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5 today. We're only at the end of the third week of flower, but she has several yellow leaves already.

Auto Ultimate is an absolute BEAST!!! She’s taller than the another two by far!!! They are all flowering really well. Auto Mazar is acting weird and not sure why. She’s super droopy and dont know what to do about it. Letting them dry out more this week before their feed and see if that helps as I have a lot of purple stems so thinking these ladies don’t like watering to run off.

I'm very happy with how my plants turned out and can't wait to get going again. They're now hanging in my tent so hopefully dried and ready to trim by Christmas day at the latest. I will update on weight when dried and on the smoke when cured.

So far I kinda messed up getting everything done on time. Plants are harvested and in cure now. All in all, the plant would’ve had around 112g dry if I kept it all.

The branches of the plant are getting stronger, so strong that i had to bend them again. I started to feed them with the easy bloom fertiliser by rqs, dissolved in 5 liters of water.

Das frühzeitige umtopfen in die finalen töpfe haben die pflanzen gut überstanden und stehen jetzt in ihrer neuen grossen growbox .

Fo' Twenny Back with another update on our "Grandaddy Purple" from Blimburn Seeds! 8/24: I did some selective defoliation to help increase light penetration. Next watering will be a flush with 2 tsp/gal of Fox Farm's flush agent SledgeHammer. A flush is recommended after week 3 in the Fox Farm Feeding chart. I figure the recommended flush will do some good considering I have a lot of coco in the mix and there are small amounts of salt fertilizer in my schedule. She is really starting to do some stretching and she has an abundance of growing shoots. She has a few leaves that look textured or "crinkled". I tried doing some searches and not sure if this is due to a virus or some other factor. She is center in the tent and the only plant being grown in a fabric pot. She has also been vegging longer than any of the other plants in the garden. She was a survivor from previous run when I almost killed all my plants (did kill one) trying to kill so spider mites. This is the only plant presenting these abnormalities. I gave a lot of detail about the abnormal leaves because I am hoping someone may be able to help me troubleshoot. 8/28: Flushed the medium with tap H2O run through 2 KDF filters with 2 tsp/gal of Fox Farm Sledgehammer flushing agent and pH adjusted to 6.2. I started by giving 5 gallons. After checking the PPM of the runoff I ended up adding 5 more gallons mixed to same specifications. 10 gallons total was shared by 3 large flowering photoperiod cultivars and 1 smaller autoflower. She probably ended up with about 3 gallons give or take. I didn't measure how much each plant received. I just kept flushing each and checking runoff until it was under 1600 ppm. Thanks for checking out my diary. If you liked this diary, check out my other diaries and give me a follow! Until next time... Peace ☮️, Love 💚, And Frosty Nugs ❄️🌲! -Fo' Twenny

08/30 - DAY 36 - Top watered w/ beneficial bacteria and refilled Jane’s reservoir. - Lowered humidity to ~63% 09/01 - DAY 38 - Refilled Mo. Drinking a gallon a day from the reservoir. Mushrooms growing in Mo’s EarthBox. 09/03 - DAY 40 - Another big defoliation on Jane. - Bent over a few over achieving colas on Mo. At canopy roughly ~500PPFD. 09/04 - DAY 41 - Girls are super happy. Trichomes coming in everywhere on Mo and slowly coming in Jane.

Día 5/10/20 día 29 de floración Acaba de amanecer un nuevo día y todo continúa bien. Seguimos alimentando las nenas con 1,6 de ec y 6,1 de ph. De momento el engorde no es abrumador pero si constante y si nada cambia obtendremos unas buenas flores!! Día 7/10/20 día 31 de floración Hoy nos vemos forzados a retirar algunas hojas que tapaban demasiada luz y que podríamos considerar sumideros de nutrientes. Por otro lado el riego de hoy ha sido solo de agua más zyco kleanse así prevenimos la sobrefertilizacion. Día 9/10/20 día 33 de floración Hoy preparamos un nuevo tanke de nutrición y lo hacemos a 1,75 de ec y a 6,1 de ph. En los siguientes días observaremos cómo se adaptan a esta nutrición x si tenemos que realizar cambios. No te lo pierdas!! Día 11/10/20 día 35 de floración Hoy te reina la semana 5 de floración y lo hacemos preparando un nuevo tanque de nutrición con el tanque totalmente limpio. La solución está a 1.8 ec, 6.1 ph y a 20 grados. La temperatura de la sala se mantiene a 23 6 la humedad al 47% para evitar la aparición de hongos en sus últimos días de maduración , algo que se puede apreciar en el avance de sus flores. No te lo pierdas!!

Let's go. Started a couple more of these I had. The last time growing them I thought they'd make an exception extraction strain for fresh frozen rosin. The flowers where nice and pungent smelling but not to dense. Heavy Yileder as well. Will see how they do this run. All In all Happy Growing.

Week 18: 😅 I hope the work we put in this week, sets us up for a successful next couple weeks. We really pushed through the rest of our flower defoliation. I think we learned alot through this process. Every branch can not live on. Branches and primary growth points are two very different things. We also learned that flower and veg have different needs. I am now noticing the soil is almost bone dry in about 4/5 days, so by the 3rd day the plants need more water... This is important to note.. as we will be traveling for the holidays for the next two weeks (NOLA, HOU, RIO). May God be with us over these next few weeks. I'm glad I have a ring camera installed in the tent for times like these... but I would not recommend purchasing this camera for the purpose of a grow tent cam. Will be trying the Wyze or another type of camera for more timelapse content in the future. Will check back in later this week with pictures from my friend that will be watering for us.

Day 2... Defoliation.. Bud growing nicely

Inhale for 13s, Exhale for 13s, Inhale for 8s, Exhale for 8s, Inhale for 5s, Exhale for 5s, Inhale for 3s, Exhale for 3s, Inhale for 1s, Exhale for 1s, Alignment. 1.618 A plant with both standard cellular respiration (occurring throughout the plant, including leaves and stems) and adequate root respiration will have a significantly higher ATP throughput than one restricted to only general cellular respiration in a limited way. Cellular respiration is the fundamental metabolic process that occurs in all living plant cells (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds) to convert glucose into usable energy (ATP). It requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Root respiration is not a separate type of respiration, but rather a specific instance of cellular respiration occurring in the roots. Roots absorb oxygen from the air spaces in the soil to fuel their energy needs. Roots require a substantial amount of ATP for essential functions like nutrient and water absorption, as well as growth and maintenance of their tissues. The primary form of respiration in healthy plant roots is aerobic respiration, which is highly efficient, yielding up to 30-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. Anaerobic Respiration (Inefficient): If roots are deprived of oxygen (e.g., in waterlogged soil), they switch to anaerobic respiration, which is far less efficient, producing only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and also generating alcohol, which can be toxic and kill the plant. Therefore, a plant with healthy, oxygenated roots performing efficient aerobic respiration in addition to the rest of the plant's cellular respiration has a much greater overall ATP production and energy capacity. A soil without organic matter will generally have a low Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC). Biochar is often prized for its potential to increase soil cation exchange capacity (CEC), but this effect is highly dependent on the specific properties of the biochar (feedstock and pyrolysis temperature) and the soil type to which it is applied. High-ash biochars, especially those produced at lower temperatures and applied to acidic or sandy soils, can significantly boost CEC by providing abundant binding sites for cations like calcium (Ca²⁺), magnesium (Mg²⁺), and potassium (K⁺). Biochar is more sustainable than typical organic matter for long-term soil improvement primarily due to its high stability and resistance to microbial decomposition, allowing it to persist in the soil for hundreds to thousands of years. This longevity provides a lasting positive effect on soil properties, particularly by increasing the cation exchange capacity (CEC) over time, while regular organic matter breaks down much faster. Biochar generally offers a much higher CEC than coco coir, though specific values vary greatly; while coco coir might sit around 40-60 cmol/kg, biochar can range from tens to over 200 cmol/kg, with sources like Acacia wood biochar or even coconut shell biochar often surpassing coco's capacity due to its porous structure, creating significantly more cation-binding sites for nutrients, making it superior for nutrient retention. Needs to be charged similar to coco but at a much higger rate. But shhhh.. it's a secret. Recommend a balanced ratio of key cations, particularly calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K). A widely accepted general "ideal soil" cation saturation ratio is approximately 65-85% Ca, 6-12% Mg, and 2-5% K. That's roughly what mine gets.

Se rego el lunes 23/5 con medio litro cada balde. En totañ 2 litros de agua. Y por cada litro de agua agregue 1ml de base a, 1 ml de base b y un ml de bloom

Permanent marker has shown some really nice growth this week. The leaves are a nice, healthy green colour and overall. I'm very pleased with how she's getting on. Here is what I did this week. 20.8.25: I watered with 1.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0 with; 💜 2ml Trace PH: 6.0 PPM: 340 Thanks for stopping by this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞
