Transplant during week 3 was a success! All 4 plants made it from their original solo cup containers into their 5 gallon fabric pots. Once in their larger pots, each plant was watered with 1 gallon of water/plant (no nutrient). Lighting was also brought back up to 30% this week as the leaf curling that was observed previously has subsided.

Day 86 Day 36 Flower 27/07/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today full 5L a little run off. Did it outside in the sunshine again today 🌞📸💚 Updates 📸 Day 87 Day 37 Flower 28/07/24 Sunday Feed again today, De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. She took the full 5L with about 10% run off. She really is stacking now 💪 Day 88 Day 38 Flower 29/07/24 Monday Just de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today. Noticing pistils starting to mature. Video update Day 89 Day 39 Flower 30/07/24 Tuesday Nice feed again today, de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Really throwing out trichomes now, density is getting better as well. Day 90 Day 40 Flower 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Full 5L again she's taking this daily now ,😅💚 Day 91 Day 41 flower 01/08/24 Thursday End of week Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 added nutes brought it up to 6.2.

After overfeeding the plants in the past, I've been feeding not enough, lateley. Plant #1 shows nutrient deficiencies. after giving more nutrients, plant #1 seems to recover. The build up of flowers is amasing. The flowers smell really sweet.😀

4/20 Still having trouble getting seeds to grow! 4 out of 6 seeds from the initial pop have died, so I've popped one more Chemdogging and one more Sour Diesel. Placed the popped seeds directly in the pot they'll stay in for the whole grow per suggestions. Built a 30"x36" trellis out of 3/4" PVC pipe, will install a double trellis netting on it once I set up the Blumat watering system. Also added in a smart power strip that now has built-in timers I can control from my phone. Organized all my extra grow equipment and cleaned up the room! The little pots in the photos are some random seeds I'm starting off in here to give to some friends to grow outdoors. 4/25 - sour diesel popped up today! 5/2 Still no luck getting the Chemdogging to sprout, currently waiting on C-dog and a Blackberry auto to sprout in my other two pots. Set up some random plants from seeds I found in a bag of Black Lime and Cookies, put them in a separate room to flower so I can find out if they're female.

She bounced back well from the crap leds she's now under a mars hydro 600 watt and loving it transplanted her to a 3 gallon pot as this will be her home for the rest of her life . She's a little stretchy from the crap led. So I micro topped her the ocean Forrest soil burned her a bit but not enough to flush her

July 7, 2024 Day 78 This week we switch to Overdrive and stop the Big Bud. It's the last 2 weeks of flower and then a week of flush. Then 2 weeks of drying and then about 3 to 4 weeks of curing. after that, I can smoke it. Lol. All 4 ladies got a half gallon top feed with just recharge, and the reservoirs refilled with the new nutrients. I was going to water until runoff, but I think it's just a waste at this point. Plus bottom feeding doesn't require runoff. Depending on how they feel tomorrow, I might add the other half gallon to each and get that runoff. Or very close to it. Sour Diesel A has started picking up the pace with drinking. She is drinking just as much as C and D. Super frosty and starting to really pack on the weight. A couple branches are starting to sway at the slightest touch. Hopefully the heavy buds won't pull the branch down. Sour Diesel B is looking great! A little bit of foxtailing and larf on the bottoms, but the tops look great! Tons of bud and big buds to boot. Sour Diesel C is also swaying a bit at the slightest touch. I expect that from her. Her branches are strong but thin and long. Her buds definitely didn't swell up like B and D, but they are solid and covered in trichomes. Sour Diesel D was the dry one this week. I ended up dumping the whole reservoir from the other day so I could start the new regimen. She was dry and anaerobic for a bit. The half gallon of top feed really helped. It took some time to get it all wet, but in the end, the half gallon seems to be fine. The environment is still high humidity in the morning and lower when the AC kicks on. Currently it's 81° outside and the temp in the tent is 75°. But with my personal AC on, it drives the humidity way up. Currently it's at 62% in the tent. It'll probably climb even more now that I watered everyone. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 58.0% VPD: 1.24 kPa July 8, 2024 Not much going on today. All 4 ladies have their water and feel good. Sour Diesel A looks great! As usual, frosty and smelly as ever. Sour Diesel B has slightly canoeing leaves. They are also starting to brighten up. Must be getting close to the end. Sour Diesel C has drooping leaves. Not sure why. I'll have to research. Sour Diesel D is looking super good. Lush green leaves. Huge main cola and more frost. The environment is the same as yesterday. High humidity, but somehow today it's below 60%. Hopefully it will go below 50% this afternoon. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 57.5% VPD: 1.21 kPa July 9, 2024 It's picture day! Not much else going on though. Just a check up on the plants and that's it. Sour Diesel A looks great! One issue I know I'm going to run into is sagging branches. One of her branches already needed to be pulled back up and tied to a bigger branch. The buds just weight a lot for the branch. Funny though, I've been using silica and that should have strengthened the branches. Not that they are super weak, but they are thin. I'll have to keep an eye on her. Sour Diesel B is outstanding. Huge solid buds. Tons of frosty frost. I'll probably start checking trichomes next week. It's too early to see anything significant. Sour Diesel C is a little lighter than the other 3. She also has some seriously droopy leaves and I have no idea why. I don't think it's a lighting issue. Underwatering could also be a thing, but she got top fed 2 days ago as well as the bottom feed system. It's moist, but definitely not as wet as I would have hoped on the bottom. I think I'm going to actually have to water to runoff with her. I don't really know what else to do. Sour Diesel D is looking good as well. Super fat buds and super hard to boot. And it hasn't even been 3 days of the Overdrive. I can only imagine how hard the buds will be at the end. The environment is starting to calm down a bit. Unfortunately I have to keep my crap ass AC on and it's bringing in humidity as always. So the humidity in the tent is around 59% to 60%. The temp was high this morning at 80°. A bit warm for this stage. It should be around 74° to 75°. But it's back to the mark now. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.31 kPa July 10, 2024 Watered all 4 ladies today. Each got a half gallon full nutrients with Recharge. Only 1 needed to get a reservoir refill. Sour Diesel A is looking super good. I had to tie another branch up today. The frost on her buds is super insane. I'm loving it. I'm sure there is better frosty plants, but this is awesome. Sour Diesel B is looking super good. Her leaves are canoeing and starting to point up. A sure sign she's starting to finish up. She also has 1 purple sugar leaf. So it looks like the fade is also starting as well. Sour Diesel C is looking kind of weird. Her top fan leaves are droopy and the bottoms are fine. But it's only the big top leaves. Strange indeed. If anyone is reading this, any insights? Comment below with what you think it may be. Sour Diesel D is super frosty as well. Her buds are massive and heavy. It seems like her side branches are starting to get weighed down a little bit. She's not even close to fading, but her leaves are a beautiful lush green. She needed a full reservoir top off today. The rest are about half empty now. It's super humid today. 79% outside. Her temp is still right where it needs to be, but the humidity is higher than it has been lately. Obviously due to the super humid day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 58.7% VPD: 1.17 kPa July 11, 2024 It's picture day! Not much going on today. Sour Diesel A is looking really good with her super frosty buds. She seems to be holding the water from yesterday and also trimming from the reservoir. Looking good. Sour Diesel B is amazing. Her buds are all dense and bright green like Sour Diesel is supposed to be. She's super frosty, but she is also canoeing. Not sure why. Maybe too much light? I doubt it though. The DLI is around 45 mol/m²/d. Sour Diesel C needed more water. She was already half the weight she was yesterday after watering. She's also drinking the reservoir. So she got another half gallon top feed today. I even got some runoff. She should be good for the next couple of days. Her buds are super frosty, just like A. Honestly, I think they are the same phenotype. I thought A was more similar to B in the beginning of the grow, but the bud structure and leaves are all the same between A and C. Smaller tight buds. Tons and tons of frost. Sour Diesel D is looking pretty good. I really wish she had taken off like she should have. I expected a much taller plant without training. It's fine though. The massive cola is making up for it. Maybe it will be a 2 oz cola. Lol. The environment is still a mess. It's rainy and humid today, but not too warm. The humidity in the tent currently is 66%. Ridiculously high. The temp is around 79 for now. I need to turn my AC back on I think and just deal with the humidity. The temp can't stay over 78° if I want super frosty buds. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 60.2% VPD: 1.18 kPa July 12, 2024 Not much going on today. Just the daily picture. Some observation and that's about it. No watering is needed and the reservoirs are all filled with water. Sour Diesel A is looking great! Her buds are definitely getting super fat and swelling up. A couple tops are making little flowers all around. It makes them look even fatter. Sour Diesel B is happily starting the fade. Just one leaf for now, but the rest aren't far behind. I'm guessing over the next week, we will get a beautiful fade. Hopefully the buds stay lime green. They are so pretty. Sour Diesel C is looking good as well. The top leaves are still drooping, but not quite as bad as they were yesterday. I'm guessing it's a mix of underwatering and nutrient deficiency. Which nutrient, I don't know. But the top feed was the full nutrient regimen. So she should be good. Sour Diesel D is looking super hefty. She has plenty of water and is super a healthy green. No fade though. It's only B that's fading. A note about the lighting. I'm going to check the DLI. It should be at 45 mol/m²/d. That's the deepest red spectrum I can pull out of my light. I think I now understand the difference in wattage for wavelength. I'll learn more about this for future runs. I think I'm fine, but if I'm right, I may be able to increase the power back up to 80%, but we will see. I do t have room for the light to go up anymore, so I have to be really careful. Unless I decide to put the exhaust fan outside of the tent. Then I'll have about 6 inches of space. That may be the best plan of action if need be. The light is still 22" from the main canopy. Bringing it up to 28" will give me the ability to increase the power and get the lowers lit up as well. The supplemental lighting is or isn't working. I honestly cannot tell. I really wish I had added the bars in again weeks ago. It's too late now. I just don't have the want to do it. The environment was way off this morning. The temp was at 78° and the humidity at 66%. So I turned my AC on and dropped the temp back down to 76° but the humidity stayed roughly the same. Now the central air kicked on so the humidity should drop fairly quickly for the rest of the day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 62.7% VPD: 1.09 kPa July 13, 2024 Picture Day! And this week's video. Sour Diesel A looking really good. Super dense buds and tons of frost. Not much else to do. Her reservoir should be empty tomorrow. If not later tonight. Sour Diesel B is definitely starting to fade. Her leaves are rapidly changing color all over. Not much, but you can absolutely tell she will have a really nice fade in the end. Sour Diesel C emptied her reservoir pretty quickly and is still holding her weight. What that means is the plant is finally drinking. I added the rest of the half gallon from the other day. The half gallon should line up with the rest of the reservoirs. Sour Diesel D has this stupidly massive cola for the size of the plant. Her color is still a super lush green. The frost is pretty good, but still not as good as A and C, but she has the largest cola of the bunch. Not as many colas as the rest, but still the biggest. The environment is still just a mess. Mornings suck. Currently the humidity is at 62% with a near perfect 76°. The humidity will of course drop down in an hour or 2. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 58.9% VPD: 1.20 kPa

One plant is significantly struggling , brown spots on leaves, it is the tallest and all the spots are towards the top but it is growing a lot slower , no colour change on any of the buds , I have one picture of her. I don’t know what the problem could be all the other girls are fine and have been given the same feeding and watering schedule. However the other girls are very happy from here out it is plain PHed water till I chop. Couldn’t be more excited yet nervous ✌️🏻💚

This week we were away on vacation. And had 2 friends house said for us these pictures were sent to me from him. He reported to me this week that Asoka was the only plant of all my plans that didn't give him any problems she's such a good girl! Honestly he fell in Love with Genehtiks AK47 Goxuak, so much he insists on being here for the harvest 🤣 He also Flushed her once for me. He used Cyco Platinum "Kleanse" in 5gal of water PH'd to 6.6 to help break up any salts in her medium. (Idk if it was necessary) Stats: Ohahu(not reccomended)4x4 tent 1gal water pitcher Fox farms happy frog soil Optic 8+ LED Durabreeze carbon filter 4" inline fan

Einen wunderschönen guten Tag meine Pflanzen Freunde, ich hoffe ihr seid alle gut durch die Woche gekommen. Die Pflanzen haben das topping und entlauben Gut über standen. Sie haben jetzt ausreichend Zeit gehabt sich zu generieren. Am Ende der 8 Woche werde ich anfangen den Lichtzyklus langsam auf 12/12 umzustellen. Dann bekommen die Pflanzen für 3 Tage 15/9 Licht bevor ich auf 12/12 umstelle. Somit haben die Pflanzen Zeit sich auf die Blütezeit vorzubereiten. Ansonsten gibt es keinerlei Probleme. Aktuelle Pflanzen Höhe am Tag: 52 #1)18cm #2)14.5cm #3)16cm Denn Dünger scheinen die Pflanzen gut zu vertragen und schmatzen den so weg. In der 9 Woche werde ich anfangen den Dünger Zusatz von S&R Organics mit zu verabreichen, der bei jeder Greenpower 5 in 1 Flasche dabei ist. GREENPOWER20 mit diesem Code erhaltet ihr 20% auf euren Einkauf. Ansonsten gibt es erstmal nix weiter zu berichten, ist auch mal schön wenn alles wie am Schnürchen läuft. Wie immer bedanke ich mich für deinen Besuch und dein Like. Sei in der kommenden Woche wieder mit am Start und schau dir in der Zwischenzeit meine anderen Tagebücher an, ich würde mich über ein Besuch von dir sehr freuen. Oder komm auf mein Instergram Profil.

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

Wasn't satisfied with the net that came packed with the ACI 4x4 so I modified it with some string and zip ties. I find this works great because I have 2"x2" holes now that are partial elastic making weaving the tops much more forgiving on both me and her. I'm very happy with the direction this grow is heading. Along with the massive undertaking of redirecting all this growth. Roughly 8 hours off and on to redirect, defoliate and remove branches. She had a nutrient change and I moved on to week 5 of the FF Hydro schedule. I added about 1/2 tsp of Fox Farm Sledgehammer to the nutrients in my reservoir and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then pumped out the solution and flushed with roughly 20 gallons of fresh cold 6.0 pH tap water. Then added the new solution with Tiger Bloom.

30.12.24: So I finally became brave enough last night to use LST on my grow for the first time. Watermelon 🍉 is doing much better than the other plants were at this stage, and still better than one that's 7 weeks old already! I'm very pleased with this strain and phenotype so far. As I've implemented the LST much earlier for her, I'm very excited to see what happens in the next couple of weeks 😃 Thanks for checking out my diary 🙂🍃✌️

Неделя прошла спокойно и тянулась конечно долго, сегодня исполняется девочке 100 дней) но скажу что пару дней назад начала уже потихоньку усиливать запах и он такой классный и так влечёт уже зарубить всё, но я хочу постараться дождатся янтарных трихом, когда будет эффект на максимум) трихом стало очень и очень много, засыпали всё только нужное, на лишних листочках как спецом и не вылазили, такие сахарные кажутся, что хочется облизать их)) по шишкам скажу что пока чутка не понимаю, разделились на два фронта, одни очень крепкие и сильно не сожмёшь их, а другие трухлявые очень, усыхаются больше чем на 70% вот это реально конечно печально, но времени ещё предостаточно и надеюсь всё будет в огнях)

Ok, all caught up. I haven't done an update in almost 6 weeks. I've been so busy. Lots of picture updates! First of all, there have been flashlights in my back yard, so I am going to have to start bringing them inside for the night soon. It's been on the news that kids are taking pictures and staking out plants already. Not good. The Lost Coast Plant Therapy is still working great for the powdery mildew. The fish fertilizer is slowing the yellowing leaves, but they are still turning yellow. I think i will be ok, I am not too worried. I am about to do my last feeding of the year after writing this. I will be giving them a heavy Gaia Green Power Bloom dose, and some bat guano. They are smelling and looking great, and I cant believe how fast the buds are growing. I'd say 4-5 weeks to go, tops, hopefully sooner.

30 September 2020 Sunset Sherbet Plant is growing very strong and the bottom 3 cola branches are being stress trained to all edges of the pot, this helps - with all the branches being exposed to the light and to grow the same height as the rest of the canopy. The stem is of this plant is growing really thick 🍑 about 1cm thick Leaves are big and strong reaching ( 15,5cm length ) My experience with growing Sunset Sherbet so far ( Week 6 Day 2 ) This strain from Cape Ape Seeds is actually so good, just the plant itself is a bright lime green and the nugs it will carry is going to be Frosty Purple❄️💜 nugs. By growing this beautiful strain so far it has grown very healthy and just in general very fast, this plant has no problems so far and all it wants to do is continue growing. Do-Si-Wine The Do-Si-Wine is growing very well, a very moderate growth as it says in it’s subscription, but none the less still a very grow so far. The bottom 4 colas are all stress trained to the edges of the pot to ensure each branch from each cola gets to grow outwards in its own space and to get more light. The stem is about 0.7cm thick which is not that thick compared to the SunSet Sherbet. While writing this I noticed my she has SNAPPED from her previous stress straining session, I was checking out the stem thickness and noticed the main stem had snapped. But luckily this is not the first this happened and I know how to fix this. To fix this all you need is some tape, now see if the plant didn’t completely break off you can still tape the plant back together and the plant should heal itself within a few days, although I need to wait a bit before I stress train this one again. She started making pistols🤗, but I’m not sure if this is because of the snap or if it’s getting ready to start blooming. All the side branches from the bottom 4 colas are all nice and long growing at a nice rate. The leaves are nice and strong reaching ( 11cm in length ) My experience from growing Do-Si-Wine 🎶🍷 from Cape Ape Seed seed bank is very good so far, on the site it says moderate growth difficulty and it is quite accurate compared to the Sunset Sherbet’s easy growth difficulty, it’s quite fun working with a moderate growth because the plant needs more tending to, for instance the side branches are thinnish and need to be stress trained often to reach the end of the pot, the plant is also very stiff because she snapped without me realising and had to tend to the break a day later. Also while growing this plant I noticed that the plant’s leaves are very dark green and the bud it’s going carry is going to be white so I can’t wait to see how she makes her buds.

Hello beautifull people! These are the final weeks. Started flushing this week. Strictly water! Im having a hard time keeping the humidity low... So i placed two passive dehumidifiers. 1 in and 1 outside the tent. And i have a fan blowing air over the buds. Lets hope that will suffice. Dont want to use high power using equiment. Power here is hella expensive. Added a vid displaying juicy nugs.
