10/2: My soil mix was too hot and I accidentally killed 11 of the 12 Fastbuds seedlings I had going. So, I started about 20 Candy Cane hybrids in rapid rooters wetted with myco, tricho, and beneficial bacteria. All but one popped up. One of them did a cobra-basket and petered out. The beans all came from tray trash that accumulated while I was smoking three diff strains, so I probably won't know what they are until they are flowering. 10/4: Looks like I'll have enough growing that I have to cull the weakest few. I can feasibly (possibly) squeeze 14 into the lower section of the closet under 720w if they act right and if I do some training, and another 4 in the top under 200w if I keep them at 30" or less in height. 10/6: I think I'll veg everybody in the bottom section until I'm out of space, then move the shorter 4 or maybe 5 into the top section as necessary...and move the tiniest ones outdoors to finish. I just don't have the heart to kill anything that's got a potential yield of a half-ounce or more. Some of the most diminutive plants I've grown produced the stankiest buds.. I've currently got the 200w 3500k+660nm running at about 32" in the middle of the closet, and one of the 3 pairs of 120w 3000k+660nm quantum boards running at about 36" and should be sufficient coverage for the next week or so. Then I'll kick on the pair of boards closest to the doorway and spread them out a bit..and then I'll move the 200w light to the top section along with the best 4 short plants. At that point I'll turn on the center 2 qb's and install a 2 foot Solacure Flower Power UV light in the perpendicular center channel of my frame. 10/7: I installed my new AC Infinity 6" fan in the attic and hooked up a 16" carbon filter today. I used some sound deadening foam on the rafter that I mounted it to and removed 100% of the vibration. I haven't programmed the thermo/hygro stuff yet, but tested it on high and I can't hear a thing anywhere in the structure.👍 I'm also purchasing a dual 120mm fan system from AC Infinity in the door, behind the grille I already installed to serve as fresh air intake. It also has a thermostat feature that will allow me to set it to only come on when the temps are too high, so I'm optimistic that it will allow me to manage the temperatures in this closet with about 1000w running for 18-20 hours a day.🙏 I moved the 200w 3500k+660nm to the top section today and lowered my QB frame to 32" above the plants. I have two pairs of them running now, and received the replacement HLG 240-48A driver today for the third pair. I'll hook it up later..dont need it now.. 10/8: I fed most of them today for the first time...about 16 oz of solution containing grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, boomerang, and armor si. I hooked up the 3rd pair of qb's today....wow that's bright....they're gonna love it!😎 The last of the sprouts has been planted and is growing. That's a total of 19.... 3 of them still in 1 liter pots and getting plain distilled water. I also foliar fed all of them with a little big bloom and kelp me kelp you. 10/9: I got some Axiom to apply onto them tomorrow. It's got a good amount of Harpin a|b proteins which trigger rapid plant growth and other defensive traits that are proven to be canna-friendly, like enhanced resin production and increased resistance to molds, mildews, and fungi. I foliar fed them today with big bloom kelp me kelp you, and the day following the Axiom application I plan to foliar feed them with Biotabs BoomBoom Spray to negate any initial ill-effects caused by the Axiom. I'll probably just mist them with distilled water for a day or two following that regimen to ensure that it's all rinsed off. But, following that break in the foliar feeding routine, I've got some Fulvic/Humic acid to rain gently over them for a couple of days. 10/11: End of week 1, and I'm happy with their progress thus far.😀 They had no trouble with the "Harpin protein attack" I engaged them with yesterday... at all, and even look quite a bit bigger than I expected. They also had their first "night time* last night...4 blissful hours in 74f temps with 48%RH.💤

Soon to have yum yums! Myster Strain is purping up. So is 10th Planet. Marrion Berry is starting to color. Although not much at all. Temple Kush x Zkittlez better have something that I can't see. Snowcaine V2. is looking to win the "chunky girl" award and take home the yeild queen trophy. She has also stolen my "eye" from mystery strain. In the next 7 days they will start to come down! :) Gave the girls a bit of a poodle trim. Only did about half the tent due to time restrictions in my real world life. Hopefully there is enough time for the light to even them out down below. BingoBango!

Still running the same watering only when necessary..just flushed yesterday and upped nutes to 1/2 strength so we'll see how she reacts. Everything else is looking great. Room is getting a lil hot in the mornings but I got a/c blowing cool air so should be ok! Excited to serve her flower she's looking nice n bushy!

This week I inoculated the room leaves and plants with Neoseiulus cucumeris, I have had minor thrip problems all summer, Usually I use lady bugs to combat them but none have been available this year. I inoculated the plants by shaking the bottle full of Cucumeris and bran over the leaves. I will do this a few times before pre flowers show. Cucmeris are predatory mites that eat the thrip larvae. And are supposed to work for spider mites as well. I added the scrog nets to the room and began training the plants through them. I then flipped the lights over to 12 and Initiated pre flower. All vegetative growth was very vigorous. The goal of this grow is to do a preliminary test to begin to determine if Mycelium provides any additional benefits to Cannabis when allowed to colonize in super soil before being added to bottom layer of the pot. The Process: 1) 8 weeks Prior to Germination Super Soil is mixed (see super Sub cools super soil recipe further down the page) and added to spinning two part composter, water is added and the super soil mix is allowed to break down for a week. 2) 7 weeks Prior To germination 1L of colonized mycelium is added to each side of composter. Mycelium is now allowed to colonize the super soil. 3) After 8 weeks total the Mycelium has had enough time to colonize throughout the super soil mix and is ready to be added to the bottom 1/3rd of the pots. See Pictures for an example of what this looks like.

It's been an interesting week. I had to ask for help with resolving the intense smell coming from my garden... I can smell it from my driveway at this point.. I was advised that I probably turned my fan up way too high, which overloads the carbon filter on the end of my exhaust. I ordered another new one.. turned it down.. and I also had to cut down the cheese auto... all her trichomes were cloudy bit I definatly could have left her for another week... just couldn't handle the smell lol. Ask for help and you shall receive, thanks Growdiaries. And thank you Oozlefinch for the solid advise.. ✌️ I bought a rosin press this week and it's awesome.. she will be used for this grow as soon as things are ready. I cut out my backyard to plan for round #3 for all these plants.. plus a whole lot more! Process/ Environment changes: -Turned down my exhaust fan.. the carbon filter can't keep up with the amount of air being pushed through it.. in the water industry we would call this 'short circuiting'.... The Gorilla cookies is growing well. It's a tall plant with long nugs ( I hope the full out a lot more). I would recommend supporting the branches at this point in the grow. There's a slight smell coming off her and trichome production was late to start compared to most the other plants I have... I suspect she will go past 90 days unfortunately, but I'm excited to see what the finished product looks like. Hitting her with compost teas at a pH of around 6.7 That's it.. I'm on auto pilot at this point.. there's not much I can do except sit back and wait. Thank you Fastbuds

For those who follow me could see that I was absent and I apologize to you and the ladies in this tent. These seedsman northern lights are tough. I was out of town for work during their prime stretch phase and all they got was straight water added to the res. Two of them are specimens still and the one without the floraflex feeding cap isn’t getting the nutes distributed they way the plant likes so today I’ll modify one and see if I can make her happier. In the end I know they’ll end up strong but it was during the crucial stretch period and they needed more than they got. All we can do is move on and try to make them flourish. Thanks for looking. Have a great day.

Last week ahead. Next time will cut nitrogen earlier. These ice cream cakes did not like it at this level. Also had a little dripper clog and mokums tulip got a little burnt. At these high ec levels they are super sensitive to drybacks.

_______________________________________________________________________ Nun, mit 20-30g pro Pflanze habe ich mich dann ja wohl doch etwas verschätzt. Es sind ziemlich genau 62g pro Pflanze an Trocken-Ertrag bei rum gekommen. Leider habe ich vergessen nach der Ernte das Nassgesicht zu prüfen. Insgesamt ist unser aller erster grow für mein Verständnis gut bis sehr gut gelaufen. Mit 124G trocken Ernte kann sich das auf jeden Fall sehen lasen. Bin super happy. Dazu kommt noch der Grow von meinem Bruder. Hier kam insgesamt etwas weniger aber dennoch gute 110G bei rum. Damit hätten wir ein gut, bis sehr gutes Gramm pro Watt Verhältnis von von 1,17 g/W. Mit 4 Pflanzen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden hab. Und wenn ich nur meine 2 Pflanzen auf einem halben m² mit der halben Leistung der Lampe von 100w rechnen würde. Hätte ich ein noch besseres Verhältnis von sehr guten 1,24 g/W. Dazu haben wir von beiden Sorten noch ordentlich Verschnitt mit überaus Trichomreichen Suggerleafs. Der Grow lief für uns eigentlich sehr sehr chillig. Nur das Wetter war unser Feind. Wir hatten bis jetzt einen eher ungünstigen, wechselhaften Sommer. Teilweise bis zu 33° und 85% Luftfeuchtigkeit während der Trocknung. Dann wiederum auch Tage oder nächte wo es wieder auf 22° runterfällt. In den GroveBags zeigen die Hygrometer nach 2 Tagen immer noch nur etwa 53% an. Das heißt wir konnten die Bedingungen nie optimal halten und es ist etwas zu trocken. Gott sei Dank hatten wir aber weder Probleme mit Schimmel oder Schädlingen. Man kann beide Sorten jetzt schon prima im Joint oder in der Bong rauchen. Es ist weder kratzig noch schmeckt es irgendwie komisch. Im Gegenteil. Mal schauen wie es nach dem Curen aussieht. Zur Honey Peach Auto CBD von meinem Bruder: Mein Bruder hat keinerlei Training betrieben. Nur sehr viel entlaubt. Die beiden Pflanzen haben sich sehr unterschieden. Aber beide haben sehr fluffige Buds produziert. Die Wirkung ist eher milder und lässt einen Produktiv und Kreativ werden ohne super high zus ein. Jetzt nach dem Trocknen reicht es eher Erdig mit ein Paar fruchtigen Noten. Zu meinen +Speed Auto: Ich habe nur LST angewendet. Und dazu mehrmals entlaubt. Abgesehen davon das eine der beiden etwas größer wurde haben sich beide ziemlich gleich entwickelt. Die Buds bei beiden Pflanzen sind sehr homogen und gleichbleibend gut, egal ob Headbud oder nicht. Die Wirkung ist sehr ausgeglichen und stark genug um stunden high zu bleiben ohne abzuheben. Der Geruch ist zimlich intensiv,sehr zitronig mit einem erdigen abgang. ----Nachtrag nach dem Curen---- Nach dem der Ertrag 2 Wochen in den GroveBags Curen konnten sin dsie wie erwartet etwas "Steiniger". Riechen tuts wie am Tag der Ernte und erfüllt den ganzen Raum. Auch eher klassisch im Geruch. Das High ist stark und ist sehr ausgeglichen zu Körper und Geist. Ohne dabei abzuheben oder down zu gehen. Meine Headbuds sind zwar nicht die größten, aber im Vergleich gibt es sicher viele die weniger Glück hatten. Wer eine kleinwüchsige, ertragreiche, robuste und relativ schnellwachsende Genetik sucht, ist hier richtig. _________________________________________________________________________
