OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

*=UPDATED=* looking about the same again, nothing much is changing other then the new flower growth has slowed and some of the trichomes are turning amber. the one plant has thick buds and the rest are average. Harvest maybe next week or the one after if I get the time I need, I want to first take off all the extra fan leaves "half ass'd defoliation?" and let it sit in darkness for two-three days, help it breakdown some of the chlorophyll and should make the cure much nicer. first time trying this, may leave one plant in normal light and hang dry it to see if it makes a big difference. Had a bit of powdery mildew on some of the lower bud sites and baby leaves on one plant, I believe this was because the fan in the case was broken and not replaced. Corrected it by spraying the area with a peroxide mix and increasing airflow. *=UPDATE=* the one video I uploaded for this week was not working. So retrying it again today.

Wish I could have vegged the clones another couple of weeks but the Zkitzo was just growing to fast. In hindsight shouldn’t have put a plant from seed in with the clones. Seeds always grow like mad in NFT and clones are more manageable as they don’t have a tap root. Still got some absolutely beautiful looking and smelling bud from the Zkitzo so can’t really regret it. The Gelatos are rock solid right through and look absolutely beautiful. Used rainwater right the way through on this so should smoke nice to. Better pictures as it dries.

La EC se mantiene estable, pero el PH no, baja demasiado por lo que he decidido esta semana corregirlo con ph+. Se mantuvo toda la semana en 6.2 se rellena tanque con 20 litros cada 2 días. un volumen muy bueno. A casi 1,2 litros al día por planta Se ha disparado el tamaño por el centro, algo lógico teniendo en cuenta que por esa zona recibe la luz de los dos lados del foco continuamente. Se ha girado el foco para mayor comodidad ya que tocaba el cable en una barra y se quedaba enganchado. un tema peligroso. Estoy gratamente sorprendido con este foco, su rendimiento es espectacular. no se que ocurrirá cuando ponga el otro 😲 Las plantas tienen unos tallos fuertes y preparados para soportar grandes pesos. Esto marcha bien!!!!😎 Fotos del ultimo día de la semana 3 02/09/23

Gorilla Jealousy F1 is starting her first week. She stretched a bit, but I don't think it is anything to worry about. She is looking really good, and she should find the solution over the next week. She will be moved into my photoperiod room once I get it cleaned, and set back up.

Het is mijn eerste kweek, voor mijn eerste keer vind ik dat alles vrij goed is verlopen. De white widow van dp heeft zeer goed gepresteerd en heeft mij een mooie oogst bezorgd. Na het drogen geef ik een recensie over de smaak en geur.
