Começando a flora

Finally flower. They are 4 feet now. What am I going to do? I don't want them to burn into the light.

Day 17F-24F (Day 19) Man it’s such a shame that bbb#1 stunted out. It was so damn vigorous until it’s most recent feeding. I will make sure to cut back on teas next round as they can be a wild card sometimes. All 5 plants are packing on some serious early frost. But I’m not seeing too much chunk to the buds yet. My other grow that was flipped on the same day has almost no frost yet so that’s a good sign. (Day 21) Big strip today. I will pull off as many leaves as I need to ensure nearly all bud sites are exposed to adequate light. I’m still seeing excess N so I’m going to water in 2 gallons each until I get some runoff. The plants seem to be up taking water pretty decently so I’m going to push it a little with a heavier watering. Wow do the plants look amazing after that strip and flush! Everything is praying up beautifully, including #3 in the back. Let’s hope that gets it back on track now. (Day 22) I want to give a PK boost but all my bloom nutrients have way too much N and I don’t really want to risk it toxing anymore. I could give it a little bit of 0-18-0 bat guano and some 0-0-15 kelp extract but it could be completely unnecessary. I can’t see any signs of deficiencies but a small surplus couldn’t hurt either. (Day 23) I like how the ladies responded to the thorough watering. I will up my watering to 1 gallon every 48 hours from now on. It sucks to see how short bbb#1 is. I was expecting such a huge stretch but it never came because of that fucking tea! I should have leached the medium as soon as I saw stunting. It’s too bad because it definitely had the most potential for yield. (Day 24) I’m starting to think the main problem with bud size this round is all the topping I did early on. Not to mention they were vegging for nearly 3 months. I will try to pick off most of the larf before it wastes anymore energy. I think the ideal style of growing for bud size and veg time is a semi sea of green, or 6-8 plants per 25 square feet. I’m not a big fan of these giant plants as it’s a lot of wasted veg time and smaller bud size overall. The smell is really ramping up!

Wednesday 20/03 - heavy defoliation, removed all large fan leaves 🍁 - last few days now, few trichomes turning amber, don’t want too many to go amber as I want the maximum THC available haha, pushing for that 30%! - smells abso-fucking-lutely beautiful, sweet candy notes with strong diesel and pine coming through! ⛽️🍭🌲😫

Day 63 this one kinda got overtaken by the others. but still has good solid Buds.

Ready for Harvest ❤️🍇🌲🍆🌺🌞

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 70/0 Flipped to 12/12 - increased ppfd by 100 and worked to stabilize temps/humidity with new gear. I used 15 minutes of IR light before main lights and then 30 minutes of UV light at mid day and will still use 15 minutes of IR light after main light are out. I plan to increase the time of UV lights to a max of 2.5 hours per day mid day but for now Im easing her into the treatments. Watered with 1.12 gallons of 6.3ph de-chlorinated tap water, used 50ppm of veg mix and 50ppm of bloom mix in the water. VPD is mostly steady 74F/65%RH/33%ILV Day 71/1 tested and calibrated my meter, tested the top soil 1 day after feed for ph - tested 4 times for an avg of 6.48 Trimmed brown leaves and did some HST/LST training/binding. Took control pics for UV treatments of 15 minutes per day. Will monitor and increase weekly it she holds up okay. Still doin 15 minutes of IR light before and after lights on/off. PPFD after training was 630 at highest and 540 lowest. VPD was 74F/60%RH/33%ILV Day 72/2 Just a watch today, VPD was 75F/60%RH/setting 4/10 of ILV (about 33% like the last tent) PPFD ranged from 530 to 650. I only used 5 minutes of UV light today as she has a tinge of browning on the tips of a few leaves. Im not cutting it out completely because I still plan to use upto 2.5 hrs by end of flower, so she needs to adjust. Im also still using 15 minutes of IR before and after main light schedule. Her stretch seems to be picking up, from 16 inches 2 days ago to 18 today. Day 73/3 VPD same as yesterday 75F/60%RH/40%ILV PPFD hit 670 at highest and 550 at lowest. Stayed with 5 minutes of UV light and monitored burnt tips from previous days... no spread, so I may add 5 more minutes tomorrow and monitor. 15 minutes of IR before/after main light schedule. Growth continues, another inch in stretch to 19 inches. I turned her slightly because there are still two runted colas that I rather provide more light to. It's been 3 days since last feed and I think with as much growth as she's putting on, I should feed again tomorrow. Im still introducing nutes in lower portions but will add 300ppm and feed about 2 gallons at a 25/75 ratio of veg:bloom mix to see if I can get some run off to measure conditions. Day 74/4 Watered with 2 gallons of 6.4 ph de-chlorinated tap water. I added 300ppm total of 25% Veg/75% Bloom. Starting ppm was 296; ending was 595 and I added a pinch of epsom salt. Poured over the whole base until I got runoff - Since I was so close to the whole 2 gallons, I used it all. I only used the feed water over the roots today as I want her to get the nutes from the soil since the transfer into new soil was so recent. So far VPD is 75F/60%RH/40%ILV. No issues with controls. PPFD was upto 700 at center so I raised the lights to almost 42" from soil - Since the plant is almost 20" that's 22" leaves to light. New PPFD now ranges at 480 to 650 on 70% power. I increased UV time to 10minutes today and took control pics for light burn. I am still using 15 IR before and after main lights. Took some black back picks since I think she's looking good now. Day 75/5 Started the day with evaluation of ph and control pics. Comparisons show no further spread of lock out issues from earlier or light burn of a more recent change. Upto 20 inches before HST/LST today. Meter was tested/calibrated and soil ph was tested 4 times for avg of 6.34 (yesterday's runoff was about 6.35 too) Soil temp is about 66F. Also tested CO2 and got 1050. Room VPD was 74F/60%RH/30%ILV I spread the leaves further apart because I noticed there were two colas not getting as much light and somewhat crowded by the colas near by. So I positioned the larger part of the tomato ring around the limbs extending here out to 32x32 and the used HST/LST to break and bend the center colas inward clockwise (I think I went a bit too hard on one as the others already show a bounce back and now one is still limp-ish (will monitor obviously) But with that the height is now 18" so 32x32x18 - but here's the kicker, I only have a 24x48 tent, so there's a few colas touching the walls and doorway now, so I may have to reconsider the larger ring. New position, new PPFD right?, not exactly, for some reason these settings still gave me range of 480 to 650 as I had yesterday with just a few more of the outer colas have 480 than yesterday. However, there's more light getting lower levels now and I only had to cut 1 leaf. Which is good because I did 15 minutes of UV today with the regular 15 minutes of IR before and after main lights. Day 76/6 VPD is a lil wonky now as humidity is starting to go up in the tent - so I plan to put in the dehumidifier this weekend and just leaving the humidifier off today and tomorrow. Heat seems to also be ticking up - so I reduced the temp on the heater and will monitor. Temps about 75 to 76 - humidity at about 62% as high as 65 though and Im trying to be at or under 60 this week. Increased ILV to 40% I repositioned the fans to hang on the lights while blowing down onto the plant. I tried to make every leaf dance a little. LST seemed to hold up okay - had to reposition a few branches and thinking I may have to build a larger box this weekend since the colas are now pressing the door and back wall. PPFD is between 470 and 700. I used 15 minutes of UV mid day with 15 minutes (30 total) IR before and after main light timers.

Week 6 of 12/1

End of week 2 of flower - Everything is running smoothly after installing my AC Infinity inline fan the environment has been extra easy to keep under control. The smell is getting stronger by the day and the ladies are fattening up nicely, especially my Purple Lemonade from FastBuds she doesn’t seem to be showing a lot of purple which I was really hoping for and she is also the fastest flowering plant in my grow. All the other plants were selected to have a longer flowering period. I defoliated slightly.

Fast buds new originals lineup Sour Diesel auto is beginning its 4th week of flowering today Jan 4th 2020 The two plants are very different in both size shape and structure with plant number 1 being tall and lanky with big internodal spacing whilst Plant 2 is a squat bushy two headed monster 😂 They both have a citrus like smell . Fed only water this week just gone . Thanks for stopping by 👍

Welcome to week 9! Starting off with a nice photoshoot Watered 3 plants on 08/04 with 1.5L 5.8 PH 1.7 EC. 2nd time for LCC "Cara" that she has to wait a day longer for watering. Oh well! Watered LCC "Cara" on 09/04, 1.5L 5.7 PH 1.8 EC No Watering on 10/04, but some nice colorful photos! Watered all on 13/04, 1.5L, 5.7 PH , 1.7 EC. Nutes all around the same, 5ml/L Plagron Terra Bloom and 1ml/L green sensation. one BPP is showing awesome purpling, very deep and saturated, and one LCC really got that Fall color scheme going now. Very happy with how its going! Trichomes are still mostly clear/cloudy. Judging by my last batch of BPPs, i'd give them anywhere from between 1-3 weeks. dont know how ill manage harvest yet, either all at once, when some are more amber and some are still a tad early, or individually. I got finals coming up so probably depending on how i find the time for it.

Day 26-33 (May 17th-24th) (Day 27) I wanted to experiment with an organic PK boost in flower so I’m top dressing most of the plants with 2-5.5-5.5 nature’s pride bloom, 0-18-0 bat guano, 1-0-3 kelp meal and a dash of oyster shell and rock dust. Two of the plants I gave just nature’s pride bloom but I’ve already forgotten which ones. I hope that small amount of N won’t continue to tox the plants. I’m pretty sure I got rid of most of the N with that last big watering. I also did a decent defoliation on most of the lower leaves and branches and a few of the uppers. (Day 30) A few of the plants definitely didn’t like the N. I’m seeing some odd clawing and very dark green and shiny leaves. (Day 31) I’m going to flush out the toxed plants with at least a gallon and give the other plants a normal watering with some runoff. I’m going to wait a week or so until I see start to see some deficiencies then I will give them each an individual feeding tailored to their deficiency or just leave them be. This is why growing multiple different strains in a single room can be a problem unfortunately. And using organic dry amendments will never be as accurate as hydro nutes for individual feedings. (Day 33) The smell in here is practically non existent. I don’t even have a carbon filter on my fan. If it starts to smell I will vent it directly outside but as of now, the smell is still quite low. BAOGC 1 & 2 are leading the pack in terms of density, structure and bag appeal. The smell is almost like a sweet rotten milk. Not super overpowering but it’s got some good terps for sure. #1 looks like it will be slightly denser and bigger nugs. I’ve grown this once before with mad deficiencies and this time it has won me over. I’m all around impressed so far. Blueberry #1 has that really old school look, with leaves protruding out of the main cola. It has perfect structure and node spacing but will definitely be on the leafy side. The smell is very weak but nostalgic. The trichomes are barely visable and almost all stalk. A very undesirable trait when breeding for high thc. #2 is garbage in my opinion. It’s basically #1 with less frost and no good structure. TWOG is somewhat average so far. It has good structure and decent frost but not much else going for it. The smell is feint but is earthy/piney. It’s certainly better than the blueberries and jacks but that doesn’t say much. The jacks are looking like trash right now. They’re stretchy, didn’t handle N well and the bud structure is very airy. I’m sure I made lots of errors but the genetic potential for these 2 is not the greatest either way. Pheno #1 smells slightly lemony/citrusy but still looks almost identical to the other. I personally love the smell of the knuckled #2 pheno. It’s a light, sweet, fruity candy smell. The scent is very nostalgic as most of the commercial black market stuff in my area (2007-2011) had the same exact smell, color and look. These will probably take an extra week or 2 before they’re filled out.

Hopefully she's getting the chop this week. She's slowing down the water drinking, only fed her water all week anyway.

Who knew managing 3 phenos would be this hard! Lol CSK 1 (Far left) - This plant was doing fine until I checked the PPM and it was at 2300 😳 - I’m going to skip nutes for 1 week to see if it drops. CSK 2 (Middle) - This plant has the slowest uptake of all three plants! However, I did test its PPM at 1900. I will skip nutes for 1 week and see if it drops. CSK 3 (Far Right) - This plant is the second fastest uptake and was tested at 980 PPM so this is a fairly hungry plant. I noticed the leaves on this plant appears yellow. I suspect this might be Nitrogen + Potassium deficiency. I will only water this plant with those specific nutrients this week at a low dose. Additional, I added another 3k LED for supplement lighting. Tested the PPD and lowered the light intensity. To minimize the loss in heat, I increased the height of the LED lights.

Finally ..12/12 seems to be what’s working for them, They were outgrowing my tent so I bought them a new one..

Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP... I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. ☮️ Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 😲. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't. My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping 🤣 Process/ Environment changes since last week: - To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F). - I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range - I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat. - I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible - My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants - I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE. The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more. The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered ☮️ Thank you Fastbuds

Giorno 7 È incredibile come sia riuscito a fare più danni del numero di giorni delle piante. Partito nei vasetti da 0,4l sotto 250w le piantine mi hanno strechato troppo e ho dovuto travasarle per reinterrarle un po' (problema secondo me dovuto al bulbo ormai vecchio). Ovviamente si sono bloccate e questo giorno 7 è come se fosse un giorno 4 Le due zombie Kush sono quelle che sembrano aver accusato di meno Le due Rainbow Belts ferme due giorni si sono riprese oggi Milk Monkey benino Baker Delight bloccata Non le tocco per almeno 20/25gg per poi travasarle nel vaso definivo. Ci vediamo settimana prossima sperando si siano riprese un po

This week was absolutely torturous had an accident in which one of my plants was damaged fortunately I do not believe that all is lost I will just have to hold her back on sending her into flour with the rest until she is completely healthy I have sent one into flower a bit early just to see if I could and seems to be working swimmingly
