Update Tag 5 von Woche 6 16.05.2012 19.00 Uhr. Belichtung umgestellt auf 12/12. Gezählt hab ich über 50 Köpfchen. Ich bin wirklich gespannt. Der 8 Liter Stofftopf ist wirklich super. Keine Ahnung warum viele damit nicht klar kommen. Beim nächsten Grow werden nur noch Stofftöpfe verwendet. Die White Widows x Big Bud sind wirklich robust und Anfängerfreundlich. Alles in allem sieht es doch ganz gut aus.

This week has been pretty good. Humidifier died on Sunday, picked up a new one and the temp rose to 79. Plant wilted for the first 8 hours or so and then settled into her new environment. She is sitting in a RDWC with a Liberty Haze that needed to get more nutes, so I bumped the nutes up to 600 ppm. She hasn’t missed a beat. So far this strain hasn’t given me any problems whatsoever. Knock on wood it stays that way! Slight smell coming off of her, no particular notes, just a plant smell. 4 nodes in and the 5th is sprouting. I’ll be topping and training soon!

Cleaned off some of the bottom scrub growth on day 102, continuing to flower.

Lilly x White Widow is finishing up her bulking. I did a solution change a few days ago. She has about 2 weeks left. My biggest issue will be I have 5 plants all closet done that will be all finishing at once. So I gotta spave them out to get them all in the cannatrol. Everything is going well.

9/19 FED TODAY ONLY USED ABOUT A GALLON OF A HALF AND I LEFT OUT BEASTIE BLOOM AS I FORGOT AND WAS IN A HURRY. Wow. Yesterday was quite the day. I smoked a joint of the bud I had taken earlier. It was fire. Trichs look good and I didn't want to risk sustained damage from the storm or earwigs (more later). Took forever but I got the one ten foot blueberry hanging and one of my 5 gallon seedlings. I want to wait a little longer before I took ANYTHING. The seedling is was overdone if anything though. I'll add trichs pics. We are supposed to have some fairly good weather. This brings me to my next point. These earwigs must like blueberries because those three plants are the ones they damaged the most. That and one in a bucket. I mean they fucking strip it. I was going to take a branch off another blueberry as it looked awesome and kept hitting me in the face. I left it. I came back this morning and all the lower part of the branch was stripped. I mean fucking nothing. Im so fucking pissed. You can look on the interior and see secondary and tertiary branches that are just destroyed. Obviously my ice cream cake and a few others need more time. Dreamcatchers are totally unaffected by them. I could take those if I had to but they are fine. I could take the blueberries too if needed but this is when they really bulk up. It's a hard decision to make. Especially when they can work that fast and demolish a plant. If I don't chop I'll be using everything at my disposal today and hunting them after dark. I wonder if they are in the bag? 9/20 Harvested another blueberry yesterday. I left one to maybe catch a frost. I put petroleum jelly on every stalk and branch Of the other plants. Came here this morning to more striped branches further up on the lone blueberry. I don't care about the damage on the 5 gallon small experiment plants but it still sucks. I still don't totally know what is causing this ridiculous damage. As you can see in the pictures the damage is progressing up the plant. I'm cutting the last blueberry today. Trichs are good. It could go another week but with the damage sustained from ONE night I'm not going to risk it. Whatever is eating my plants don't seem to like the dreamcatchers. Luckily. I hope whatever this destructive fucking bug is doesn't move to another plant. I'll be on the look out. I'm ready for this season to end. 9/21 I think I lost a day in my diary. I've been so fucking busy. Took the last blueberry yesterday. Spent hours in the garden. Watered today. Need to do a potassium bicarbonate spray. I'll update later. 9/22 It's raining. Shook off the plants this morning. I cannot believe the rate of flowering. Maybe it's because the last four days I've been working my balls off harvesting and trimming those plants. Ill do a review and a harvest report of the blueberry once it's dry. The stuff is fire. The seedling is crazy too. Trichs are through the roof. I compared with a local dispensary pot and mine was better. Not as good as the dispo I frequent though. There is one on ever corner down here. 9/23 Didn't have time to feed this morning. I'll be back down in a bit and feed. We are expecting rain I guess but I'm not dealing with any mold issues other than the mild WPM. I plan to do a k bicarb spray today. I defoliated everything dead I saw. I've smoked my blueberry and it is amazing. The little seedling experiment I grew in the 5 gallon turned out AMAZING. Some of the densest buds I've grown. Trichs off the charts. Piny citrus taste and heavy sedative effects. Im waiting for the blueberry to at least dry before I do the harvest report. It's nice today. Plants have continued exploding into flower. For now I'll be in trim jail. 9/24 Watered lightly and fed 1 gallon. Started cha ching today at 1/8 tsp. Gallon. Still no idea on mysterious damage. I noticed a bit more. I went over at 4am hoping to find the culprit but nothing was there. We are supposed to have three days of rain. Everyone seems worried. I'm a little worried myself. I cut out a small branch on the middle of the dreamcatcher that had rot. Other than that it's just slight PM on some. I tried to mark damage so I can see what else happens. I'm letting the rest of this stuff ride. I'll do what I can to protect it but it's not coming down early. 9/25 The massive storm descended last night. Winds turned my ice cream cake literally sideways. Dreamcatchers are so fucking sturdy and strong that it would take a tornado to Damage them. The big plant in the fifty gallon pot had some branches that were 90° down. I tried to tie up what I could quickly. I noticed some damage on the ice cream cake. Same as on the blueberry's. I hope I made the right decision waiting this storm out. Defoliated and added supports where I could. Rushed morning.

En esta semana los clones pasan al indoor,y se nota lo favorable que es la luz en ellos!

Merlin Mintz is up, and going. Great germination, and everything is looking good. My only concern is if the nutrition is too strong.

Already week 7, and it’s starting with much better air humidity which makes it easier for me to stay in the recommended VPD range – currently 54% at 25 °C at canopy height. With 58, 67, 78 and 80 cm plants’ average height is about 71 cm. Odour has increased, and sometimes, but only shortly, I get the feeling the coal before the blowers cannot eliminate all of it. While the smell was a bit strange sometimes one and a half week ago, it’s now absolutely yummy, sweet and promising. As is all the sticky stuff adhering to my folding rule when I measure their size. I am a bit confused about the amount of yellowing leaves. That would indicate a nutrition deficit. On the other hand, last feeding (yesterday it was only calmagged water) brought some brown edges to their tips as I wrote. Which could indicate a slight over-nutrition. I am not *that* worried as leaves around the buds all look great (except for mentioned, but not youngest tips), and mature plants obviously tend to concentrate on bud production solely. But week 7 is quite early, or isn’t it? Any recommendations? Maybe I should go with organic fertiliser next time to avoid being stuck between two options ;) As they had run dry already, I gave each one another round of drink. Slightly less fertilised than last week. And I removed the lowest yellow branches and tiny buds that would not make it into the light in time. The Pineapples must have some mimosa genes crossed in. Each time I touch them they bow away their heads in deep dislike. The taller one looks like her head would be too heavy now … It is not, and usually they recover after an hour or so. The Sherbets are pretty unimpressed by all I do. Meanwhile I’ve been working on the Raspberry Pi BoxControl that should help me stay in better VPD ranges in the future. I am not sure how to translate this all into a more stable solution than based on a breadboard, but the state so far (and how it is supposed to work): Raspi runs headless with control software on autostart. Every minute temperature and humidity are received from a GY-21 I2C chip that should be hanging around plant tops. Data is saved in a database, VPD is calculated and signalled in form of a RGB LED color. Additionally, LCD display rotates through current stats. 3 relay modules can en- or disable misting, dehydration or an additional blower. Maybe I can add a CO2 sensor just for the fun of it (but I’d have to develop a device protocol myself), maybe even one or two soil moisture sensors. Theoretically you could also have a lighting control, but then, GPIO ports are all used. The display needs a lot of them, and while I can log onto the Raspi on my local network and view its desktop, I’d prefer to have a quick overview at place. I am not really informed about current models. Are some GPIO extensions or Raspis with extended GPIOs on the market? But so far, that’s all theory. I never had a PCB developed for my hobbyist projects, I am not the best with a solder station. Never had a Raspi run 24/7 for a really long time. Did a bit more lollipop ping in the evening. Especially tallest Shepard had fun building some more very low buds and branches. I think it can investigate its powers better on different places. Day 51: It’s getting hard to measure soil humidity with my low tech device. Soil must be full with roots and I don’t want to hurt them much. I can see them at the outlets of their pots too, sometimes a bit dry of course as these parts run dry earliest. Experiments to include the CO2 sensor in my test setup failed. I can read and reset it, but setting measurement mode and reading values don’t work. Maybe because my I2C library cannot use ClockStretchLimit. Running out of GPIO ports anyway and seeing that the soil sensors are analogue devices, I’ll probably revive my Uno too and have discovered some clever Raspi heads that should make a more stable setup (and some cooling) possible while also adding a handful of PWM ports and an integrated display. I’d like to include a camera module too and it would be great to have some ports available. A final setup would obviously include a Raspi 4 or 5 to easily enable secure online access. But so far, all working nicely in test setup. Day 54: Sometimes I wonder if they’re still growing at all, but then it’s good to have the daily pictures to compare bud width which now seems to be the main interest of the ladies, although differences are now clearer to tell between two day intervals. The taller ones look like they are one week ahead of the smaller plants, with even higher fan leaves turning pale now. Which at an estimated seed–harvest time of 8–11 weeks for both strains should be pretty common, I guess. Or am I wrong? Summerly temperatures make the temperatures at canopy level sometimes reach 31 °C, but at least the simple ultrasonic diffusers arrived and I am getting closer to a better environment control. I can at least switch the diffuser inside the tent remotely from my phone, and a deep bowl of water with a lid so the "fountain" produced will not wet the tent floor and one of the fans placed at the bottom now to lift its mist upwards seems to do the trick. Humidity increases while temperature drops, getting the plants into a better VPD level, so all I have to do is wait for the evil A to deliver the necessary Raspi components to have this automated, maybe still while this grow runs. At the end of this week, there was just a bit of height gain for the two smaller ladies who now approach their next 10 cm mark. Overall, I get the feeling it won’t be that long until harvest. Maybe with the taller ones a week earlier than the others. There’s really not that much bud growth anymore, rather refinements – like buds getting more nodes and color. I’ll investigate the trichomes every few days but would welcome your estimation.

6 lovely Bruce banners in week 11 3 weeks left til they are finished

Hi people :-) This week the Victory Kush F1 (Phenotype 1-3) and the Zkittlez (Phenotype 1) were harvested. The Orange Sherbert (Phenotype 1-2) and the Zkittlez (Phenotype 2) were flushed. The rest fertilized as usual. Next week it continues :-) I wish you all a nice and healthy weekend.

1/10 - Day 56 / Day 28 Flower The nutrient deficiency appears to be getting worse. After some reading, I suspect I may have a pH issue which is causing a nutrient lockout. I gave each of my plants enough water to get some runoff that I could test. When I first tested the runoff, I was getting pH readings of around 5.6-5.8 for my 5 gallons....not good. Way too acidic. I decide to do a flush out of an abundance of caution. I ran about 8 gallons of water that ranged between a pH of 6.5 and 7.2. At a certain point, I ran out of distilled and dechlorinated tap and decided to stop flushing at that point rather than introduce chlorinated tap water. At the end of the flush, I was getting pH readings of around 6.1 and 6.2 for my 5 gallons. Not ideal but should at least mitigate any further damage. Remarkably, some of the leaves that were starting to yellow began to bounce back shortly after the flush. **************************************************** 1/11 - Day 57 / Day 29 Flower The conditions haven't dramatically improved but also haven't appear to get dramatically worse. The leaves that were already yellowing seemed to yellow a bit further but I didn't notice any new leaves yellowing. After still more reading, I think I narrowed the issue down to a magnesium issue. My leaf symptoms seem to match all of the tell tale signs - leaves were turning pale green before fading to yellow, the yellowing was showing up first around the edges but all the veins were still green. Combined with the fact that magnesium lockouts typically occur when the soil is too acidic - I think I found my culprit. Even though the soil was still wet on my 5 gallons, I decided to go ahead and provide a half gallon of distilled water with 5mg of Cal-Mag to each plant. Of course, this was before I read some of the responses to my grow question and this was the exact opposite advice suggested by @BluntZilla who I think has the correct diagnosis of my problem (calcium toxicity causing other nutrient lockouts)... :facepalm: **************************************************** 1/12 - Day 58 / Day 30 Flower Based on the symptoms I'm having, it looks like the biggest nutrient deficiency I'm having is magnesium. In an attempt to mitigate that deficiency, I made a solution combining a gallon of distilled water with two tablespoons of epsom salts and applied as a foliar spray. Started applying this today - once in the morning and once in the evening. **************************************************** 1/14 - Day 60 / Day 32 Flower Watered my plants using spring water until I could produce runoff. The runoff readings were as follows: Z51: - pH = 6.4 - TDS = 1080ppm - EC: 2.2 Z52: - pH = 6.3 - TDS = 1040ppm - EC: 2.1 While it appears my pH is back in a healthy range, my EC readings are a bit higher than I'd like. Ideally, I'm aiming for 1.8 but didn't want to continue shocking my plants with a flush. **************************************************** 1/16 - Day 62 / Day 34 Flower My plants still haven't really turned a corner with the nutrient lockout issues as new leaves continue to succumb to the same symptoms of slow yellowing. Despite these issues, my buds are continuing to develop and becoming more full and dense.

Plants reacted very nice to being in a controlled environment. Giving them more time to see if a longer veg will give bigger buds. Day 32 defoliated for the first time(Should have LST’d same day. I will still be heavy on the lollipopping Burned the White wedding. The other cultivars didnt burn. All plants are getting hut with plain ph water….and silicate, Day 34 Stalks were already to dense to LST. Defoliation went well Topped the main stalks(about 4 per plant). Tis was my second time topping this grow. I topped this time so that i can control stretch. They need one more week so they can rebound from the stress before i flip to flower on day 42 Noticed that 20klux+ was stressing my plants. I brought it down to 10-18klux I have failed to use tricantonol or any SST yet. These are usually crucial parts of the grow. I wonder whats going to happen

I harvested on the last day of week 13. I didn't water for 3 days before harvesting and hung the branches to dry without trimming. I let them hang for 5 days, then trimmed them and am now curing the buds for another 4 weeks.

I think Triple G could have been a really good grow, if conditions were right. The plant looks great but the extreme heat definitely had a negative impact on the final product. It's very airy and light but I still got a lot of bud! I think it'll end up being hash but I'll see how it smokes with a little longer in a jar. My new batch of seeds has arrived from RQS, next up will be either Mimosa, Tropicana cookies purple or NYC Sour Diesel 😎

Using our own growing method L.L.O.G incorporating all of the other listed tecniques we have found an opening in the agreculture world,The Scrog/spacers are tottaly unique in the simpleist way working on logical equazions We have now finally completed our project the spacers sell them selfs so all thats needed is distribution and promotion . This is one of the main reasons for us to join this network ample of opportunity for everyone whos intreasted in our growing method . We will supply free spacers for your reviews please As seen above the spacers at work? The idea behind this project is to simply show how you can utalise the small amount of space you have,so if you had 4 of these units in a 1.2m x1.2m tent you can treat them as 4 plants as long as you have you ppm dialed in properly you will be fine . watered 5ltrs. obviously with no veg you can stay in conroll of the units they all wont grow to big just the right hight to make a bud plater,but the final yield compared to lets say 1 plant well even working on each plant giving you 14g dry is 8oz i will be happy with 4oz for that space used.

I’m so excited to show you guys week 3. These plants are huge!!! Even though I’m watching them grow right before my eyes I’m still shock as to how big they are. I browsed through other growers diaries that’s growing the same strains as me and I haven’t came across none as big as mines. The plants are responding well to their nutrients and TLC from me. I was planning to scrog this grow but I’m curious to see how big these autos are going to get so I’m going to just let them ride it out. Make sure to follow my diary for your weekly updates and give a like if you like the grow. Peace Love & Guidance #OwlGang #AGrowingEmpire

7.14.25. Finally harvested this plant! Quality of buds look pretty good even though I diminished the harvested big time by stunting her in vegetative stage and she never recovered! Wet weight of buds was only 25.7 grams. Definitely will be ordering this strain again and correct what went wrong on this grow. Thank you for looking at grow I appreciate it! Will be back in 1-2 months with new grow!

In this breeding adventure, I can say the best taste and smell quality.
