Oh so this is my first entry on GrowDiaries. This Red Dragon started from seed I believe sometime early April. It's been in a 2 gallon pot for a good month and now is ready to be transplanted in a 15 gallon cloth pot. I'm probably gonna do that today, with some fiming. I have a mix ready, made of 1/5 dirt,1/5 chicken manure, 2/5 peat moss, 2/5 perlite, and roughly a tablespoon of lime and sulfur, as well as bone meal and stove ashes. I'm a newbie experimenting so feel free to tell me if I'm doing it all wrong :D

Week 7 - Oh Mehn There’s So Much To Say About These Girls, I’ll Start With The Purple Power, It Is Ready To Be Harvest Anyday Now But I’m Looking To Push It To Week 8, It Has A Strong Aroma Of Sweet Berries. The Stardawg And Girls Scout Cookies (3gal) Are Putting On Some Dense Nuggets I Like How They’re All Looking Identical That’s A Good Sign. The Stardawg Has A Lemon But Earthy Scent And The 3gal Girls Scout Cookies Smells Like A Citrus Lemon With A Hint Of Pine, The Buds Are So Hard And Sticky Mehn I Cant’t Wait To Taste These Girls. The Other Don’t Have A Scent And The Gorilla Glue Having Start To Flower Yet Probably Gonna Steal The Show In The End! And I Would Like For MSNL To Acknowledge I Grew There Auto Lemon OG Up To A 100cm Be Sure To Like My Grow Diary. Height Chart: Girls Scout Cookies: 30 1/2 (3gal) Purple Power: 29 1/2 inches Stardawg: 34 1/2 Girls Scout Cookies: 37 1/4 inches Gorilla Glue: 24 inches Lemon OG: 39 1/4 Inches

📅 Week 13 | Days 92–98 📅 🌼🌸🌺 Flowering Phase 🌼🌸🌺 Day 98 🌞 – Grape Guava 🔸 Grape Guava is in top form. The buds are significantly larger and denser than they were a week ago and extremely resinous – trichome development is excellent. The trichomes appear predominantly milky, with a small proportion of clear heads. The ripening time seems to be right on schedule. 🔸 The aroma has developed into a fruity, almost tropical-sour direction – intense, with a sweet note that is very characteristic. The genetic line seems to be coming through well here. 🔸 The humidity was still a little too high this week (63%), but is now stable in the target range of 50–60% thanks to the use of the dehumidifier and the clip fans turned up to full power. The slight temperature increase of 2–3 °C is easily manageable. 🔸 Water requirements have also decreased significantly, which is consistent with the advanced flowering phase. I will give her one last week of Overdrive (Advanced Nutrients), after which I will only use clear water for flushing. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 27°C 🌡️🌜 = 20°C 💨 VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 💨 Humidity = 63% → Target: below 60% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 🍯 Pot Size: 18 liters 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

Gave it 3 days dark and dry. Cut it today to hang and quick dry. Probably get 2oz. Sadly the lowers are very soft. One of the main reasons iI hate indica grows. Very bushy even trimming fan leaves lowers still have no light and inners in the middle too. She looks like a bitch to trim hopefully i can use my silicone brush. Next time Ill ask for their most sativa meow strain.

8/18 -Both plants just look really healthy and strong. Its funny how much you learn over time. I just looked back to my first grow and boy have I learned. Ive at least tripled the canopy of each plant in comparison to last grow. I really like the FIM method. -Going to increase the water of each feeding by 50 mL. Going to feed today with 600 mL solution and see how the plants respond. Based on past feedings they should respond with only an increase of droop. -Droop scale developed a few weeks ago still holds true today. Its the way I decide if they need a nice watering. -Leaves are looking very healthy. Looks like cream cookies is going to start changing colors soon. Excited 🤩 -Time lapse camera is acting all sorts of wonky. Im hoping the issue corrects itself soon--the time lapses are very informative of growth patterns. 8/20 -Both plants absolutely loving life. Doing really well and looking very healthy. -Every other day watering cycle is working amazingly. -Cream Cookies is really starting to smell wonderful as the trichomes come in. Small amount of orange hairs spotted on some of the canopy buds. -Time lapse camera is not working well--unfortunately 8/22 -Got the time lapse camera working *provisionally* although its still giving me issues. -Cream cookies is really starting to fill out. Most of the branches seem to be "main cola" branches as plant symmetry was broken around week 4. -No visual signs of stress, light burn, nutrient deficiency, of any other issues that might arise. -6.2-6.3 pH has been working wonders, plants really seem to respond well to them. Going to sprout 2 more Cream cookie plants during Week 9. Going to build a plant pot platform that can be raised so the new seedlings are close enough to the light. 8/23 -Some defoliation done on both plants, more-so on Cheese, its realllllllly thicc. Like oh boy so thicc im very excited about Cheese. Im smoking some of last harvests Cheese right now coming off a 2 month cure and OH BOY is it nice. Amps me up even more for harvest in 4 weeks 🤩

Personal Mumbo Jumbo:👻 Funny enough i bought 3 seeds but got 4 in a tube shipped haha. Good for me since i have room for 4 pots.😈 Planted them right into the final pot. 14 Liters soil each. Got couple plastic bottles i use as domes. I punctered holes into to keep the moisture high but not wet. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🌱Day 0 Humidity ~36%// ~25°C Light 75% //100cm//~175 PPFD (will increase to ~240 next week) Water : german tabwater, it has a lot of calcium in it but for now i wasnt worried about the ph level. Dont worry, once i see leafes they will get proper PH-Water, we want to see our beauties shine dont we? Soil: BioBizz All-Mix with an additional drainage layer. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Happy to see tips and tricks, DrySlime

Week 3 has come and gone and it was a sight to see!! All the pistills came in nice and strong. I have to get in there and defoliate every couple a days a bit. This will be the last week of defoliation. Once I can see the main bud sights I will do my final trim. Started reducing the Nitrogen as the stretch faze comes to an end and up the bloom ferts. I cant raise my light much more so I hope they stop stretching this week. Im excited to see the flowers grow into these pistills and watcch the calayx swell.

This week I switched over to 12/12 light cycle to begin flower stage. Cycled through a sequence of blue, red, and purple light to develop taller (red) and fuller (blue) foliage, using both (purple) at times as long as I could keep the temp under 79F. Man! once I switched over, they began taking off! Some of the more dominate branches began taking over and blocking the smaller ones in record time. I had to add a couple filler lamps (1 LED & 1 CFL, both white) to even things out a bit. NOTE: reverting back to actual Plant-to-Lamp distance (vs Screen/Net-to-Lamp).

All I can say is that this thing is a beast. She likely only has a week or two left so I did one last small top dress with dry amendments as well as some ewc and super soil to top it off. Cant wait to watch this girl really fatten up. She’s already having trouble holding up the colas. 😎🍿🍻🌱

Dropped using the Bloom this week to address the tip burn & added more bamboo to support the colas, hope to harvest in a couple weeks I think.

This new 2 x 2 x 55 design packs everything you could want INSIDE a 100% Wi-Fi / Smart enabled grow cabinet; including a reservoir chiller. You can easily adjust and view all your variables remotely. No more guessing or endless A/B testing. We’ve been running this new cabinet design empty for 10 days. We can keep the temperature within 1-2 degree, and the humidity within “2-4%” of our desired schedule (excluding full room exchanges); INSIDE the grow cabinet. We are implementing dual humidity system, so we will have adequate humidity inside this box without swimming in the high humidity in the office. Should help significantly with keeping LVPD in check without turning my desk into a swamp. Secondary humidifiers on the way. Three seeds are soaking today. Maybe I’ll have something in the hopper soon! Just created some software logic and added secondary humidifier into the grow box today and was able to bring the the humidity differential into check. I don’t have much faith in this 2 liter humidifier but I have room to squeeze another in on the other side if it drinks too fast. It’s on all the time with exhaust requirement. I can now keep my office around 50% and the box in the lower 60’s at canopy, with a 5-6 degree temp differential between the inside box and ambient. WAY better since I have to work in here too, and will get me in an ideal LVPD range. To get in the 60’s inside the box before meant my humidity in the office was close to 80% at times. Yikes. No dice with the “m” word. We’ll see how all the tech plays together for the next day or so. Beans should pop in the next day or two? Today added smart energy monitor outlet on grow cabinet and another for heating, cooling, humidity and circulation. This configures into our app too! System is just about dialed in with all variables in check. One bean crack today, so time to get the loose ends tied, and let her do her thing. All three seeds cracked today. Stuck them into 3 mini humidity domes filled with RW, and placed them in the grow cabinet.

Tutto perfetto piante molto molto soddisfacenti! Sicuramente verranno riproposte!! Grazie a tutti del supporto e al team @Kannabia per la collaborazione ❤️💚 Ne vedremo delle belle!!!

We finally made it ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor to introduce you to the beautiful Lady Wedding Cake and the beautiful Cookies Kush twins. Even though I'm pretty sure cookies kush #1 would have needed another week, she had to go under the knife,too. The ladies finished just in time for the super bowl 🏈. We need the space in the tent asap because of the Eternity Grow Cup. Next Stop Zami Runtz and Blue Gelato 41

sixth week Veg, the ladies are doing well again they seem to recover! they got a new home again and 2 liters of water every 5 days
