Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc. My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000. I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed! Running 24hr light schedule. Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F. Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule. Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress. ______________________________________ Can't wait to start upgrading the quality of my journals and to hear you all's feedback! Happy growing and good vibes as always 🌱 ______________________________________ 4/29/20 - Update Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂 For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent. I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better.

The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of (Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom) It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL. 440ppm @ 98.5°F 890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again. The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL. 500ppm @ 98.6°F 992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule. I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data. I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎

How ya doing mates?? Awesome week last week - all photos and logs have been added so be sure to check it out! This week is going great so far! I've switched to an early vegetative state nutrient system. As you'll see in the daily logs early this week, this bumps up the micro and grow nutes, and keeps the bloom at 0.6ml/gal. A quick note about last week - I'm unable to update the measurements, but please note that those nutrient amounts are measured in ml/gal, NOT ml/l. Anyhow, this week I'm just waiting to get my order of diatomaceous earth so that I can make up another batch of soil. I'm still debating between topping this week before repotting or letting them take root in the new pots first. Decisions decisions lol. I think at the very least I'll clean up some of the lower growth to make sure the energy is being spent at the right places. I've been switching back and forth between just LST and mainlining in the past - but I think I really like the ease and cleanliness of mainlining. The draw back is the recovery time they take in the process haha. UPDATE: The D.E. has come in, and I repotted the girls this week. I mixed in about 1.5-2 cups D.E. for the whole pot, as well as some Bat Guano and Kelp Meal for micro and macro nutrients to use on dry cycles. I've also included some photos of the mother plant to give an idea of what's to come! I've just started to flower it, which is the first time for this strain - so I'm pumped! Day 15: M.C. 01-21 After reviewing the last set of photos from last week, I figured I'd play it safe and dimmed the light back down to 25% strength. The mother plant is almost ready for flower, and I'm down some tents so she'll be taking this one over shortly. These photos were taken shortly after the lights went off, and they look quite happy! You can see some of the side branch developement in today's photo for MC-01. The pots are fairly dry now, and I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. M.C. 02-21 A nice top photo for MC-02, you can really see the lighter green in this photo. Not to worry though, as these will darken back to a vibrant green as long as I give her what she needs shortly! The pots are fairly dry now, and I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. M.C. 03-21 Look at that little leaf poking out from the 2nd node! Some slight yellowing you can see too, but again, not to worry. The new mix should rectify that. I've decided to move to the next stage in the nutrient regime. This kicks up the Micro and Grow nutes, while maintaining the Bloom amounts. Day 16: M.C. 01-21 Today is the day - for the mother! I've cleared out some space and moved plants around. So back out to the grow room these girls go! MC-01 seems much better today with the reduction in light. The 5th node is almost flattened out and the 6th coming through still. Most notably though, you can really see the work she's put into the side branches! The branches at nodes 2 and 3 are starting to produce more leaves - great sign! The new growth at the top is also a nice dark green. Added 500ml water to the tray. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 seems to have liked the adjustment of light as well. She's got nice dark green growth at the top, and the little branches at the 2nd node seem to have a full leaf! Added 500ml water to the tray. M.C. 03-21 The photo from today is cool, because you can see how close MC-01 & 03 are, even though there's almost a full node difference. MC-03 is stretch out a bit to compete with her sister for the light haha. She's also put some more effort into the side branches that you can see. Added 500 ml water to the tray. Day 17: M.C. 01-21 I figured a video would be the best way to illustrate the changes today! They've been back in the grow room under the Veg dedicated light for a day now and seem to be loving it! MC-01 has its' 5th node out, splitting the 6th node, and I can JUST see the 7th node coming in. I don't think they'll get too much more height, as you can see that the side branches are starting to stretch now! She's definitely going to be well tangled in the roots by the end of the week when I hope to repot her. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 is doing great despite the difference in height! You'll notice the side branches stretching out at nodes 2 & 3. The pots are also still fairly wet at their center, so I'll hold off on water most likely. At least this clone will have time to root more while we wait for the supplies! M.C. 03-21 MC-03 also has great side branching! If you take a look at the group photo from today, you'll see that both MC-01 & 03 are practically the same height, but MC-03 snuck in there by the stretch haha. Day 18: M.C. 01-21 My order of D.E. came in last night, perfect timing! As you can see, her roots have fully reached the bottom, and have started to migrate upwards with the water that's absorbed. The soil was a little dry for my liking, which made things a little difficult/dusty but still no mishaps! Watered around the root-zone before covering with more soil to keep the gnats down. M.C. 02-21 Not quite as much lateral root growth as MC-01, but still plenty enough for a repotting! Her soil was a little dry as well. Ideally I should have given them a light misting from the top of the soil and let is drip down to keep the dusty bits together haha. M.C. 03-21 Nice and thick root growth, no issues with repotting, and strong stalk. The extra spacing in the nodes may prove to be helpful during the training phase. Day 19: M.C. 01-21 Some nice top shots today as they slowly get acclimated to their new homes. Once I see them push out a new node, I'll probably top them. This is to make sure that they're taking to the new pot without causing any extra stress before they can take it. Today I watered them with an early veg nutrient. I like to stay cautious with nutrient boosts since they're in soil - not to mention the added nutrients from the repotting. M.C. 02-21 Top shots for the girls today. Not much change, but also no immediate signs of shock either, so I'll take it. M.C. 03-21 You can't really see it in this angled shot, but the small branch at the second node is coming along nicely! I think the girls are happy that they each have their own tray not haha. Day 20: M.C. 01-21 Definitely noticing some slow changes to the top nodes when comparing the pictures from the previous day. The leaves are slowly starting to separate, and I'm not noticing too much yellowing yet which is good. Watered with 500ml water to keep water migrating upwards to meet the roots. M.C. 02-21 Not noticing much change in this girl today, but that's okay. She's most likely focusing on the root developement instead which I can't complain about! Watered from the bottom. M.C. 03-21 Maybe seeing some separation in the top leaves, however more notably are the small branches at the 2nd node that you can see better here. Still a bit of stretching with them as they get longer. I might even keep them on for clones later on. Watered from the bottom. Day 21: M.C. 01-21 Looks like she gained some distance last night, as the top node is now above the fan leaves, unlike 2 days ago. I'm really getting eager to top them, as I don't want them to waste too much time and energy growing tissue that I'll just end up cutting off. I'll be bumping the nutrients up starting next week to keep the progress going, moving to a mid-veg stage shortly. I'm going to let things dry up tonight for a fresh boost of water tomorrow to give it a dry cycle as the pot is still a bit heavy. M.C. 02-21 MC-02 really worked hard last night it seems, as she almost completely flatted out her top leaves! I think she's ready for a topping, but I'll let her benefit from the headstart and let the other two catch up and root before. dry cycle for her tonight as well. M.C. 03-21 MC-03 was busy last night too and is now slowly flattening out the top node as well! Maybe tonight they'll have enough progress to go topless afterall haha. Dry cycle in prep for watering tomorrow.

Tok off large fan leaves on day 24. Seeing preflower starting. Decided to try out a natural shape instead of doing LST. I hope this doesn't backfire... The blackberry gum on the right is getting big. I like how autopotamus has natural shape... But he also has much more light haha

D1 Looking good! Let’s start into week 6 of flowering. She could be done in two weeks as the description says 7-8 weeks in total, but i guess she will rather need 3 more from now. D5 It’s going alright 👍 She is more than pretty 😍 buds could be a bit bigger by now but i guess she will just grow longer than the 7-8 weeks of flowering and will be fine. The smell is so insane already. Also added my fertilizer into the whole plan started at week 7 D7 End of week 12, 6 weeks of flowering behind 2 to go so happy with those buds already. Counted 10 which are quite equally in size so LST was worse it

Lots of bud sites

Stopped feeding this week. I'm pretty sure they should be ready to chop in a week or 2. I hate looking at them with my microscope so I've gotten pretty good a judging when they are finished. I love ILGM. They always come thru with solid genetics!!

Gorilla Glue Auto Day 89 This week I continue watering with 1.5 litres of water and nutrients every other day. I continue to remove leaves that are obstructing the flowers. The flowers continue to swell. When I look through the magnifying glass the trichomes are some 50% clear, 50% cloudy, 0% amber. Next week I will change the watering schedule and reduce the nutrients!? Gorilla Glue #4 Week 10

Day 1 of week 6: 26th Sept Slow start to this week with an update as my phone is broken. Girls looking good but no pics to show.. Day 2 of week 6: 27th Sept Nutes in as usual! Girls looking good and I think the CalMag is working a treat! 🤞🏼 Day 3 of week 6: 28th Sept Just added some pics and a lil vid today to kick this week off after a slow start! Day 5 of week 6: 30th Sept Nutes in again today and some more defoliation due to yellow leaves not getting enough light.. I was a little worried I hadn’t sorted the CalMag deficiency out properly but the girls are looking much happier now I’ve got rid of those yellow leaves and LST’d them a bit more. 😍 Day 6 of week 6, 1st October: Girls looking much happier since yesterday’s removal of yellow leaves and more LST!! They’ve bounced back so nicely!! Happy days 😊❤️ Day 7 of week 6: 2nd October Girls looking good, nutes in for the last time before switching to flower.. Switching to flower 🌹 during week 7 all being well!! Can’t wait to see some cola action!! ❤️, ✌️ and hair grease!

Best harvest yet....this strain will always be in my garden

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

✂️ Harvest complete! 🌿 After weeks of care and attention, the plant has been cut down, dried for 14 days under controlled conditions, and I’ve now officially started the curing process in jars 🌬️💨 The aroma is promising, the buds are dense and sticky… I can’t wait to see (and smell) the final result! 😍 One cycle ends, but the satisfaction it brings is lasting 💚

So I had a little less nutrient last week then i needed. Def a calcium deficiency. I think it's clearing up but this plant has spot all over it. I changed the water, gave it the right amount of nutrients and a little exra hydrated lime for calcium. Hydro is hard. I hoping It's not sick. I hope It doesn't get the other plants sick. Just a few weeks left.

Eccoci qui... Per problemi di lavoro ho tardato un pò la pubblicazione delle foto, le piccole sono molto in forma ed ho fatto molto bene a puntare su di loro mettendone 2. STRAIN 1 sta sfocando le foglie con un colore viola scuro molto molto interessante, per strain 2 invece il discorso è più lento ma comunque ci sono i primi segni di viola. Grazie a tutti per il supporto, NON VEDO L'ORA DI RACCOGLIERLA 🔥🌲❤️

next time i have to veg more then 4 weeks to increase yield. it finishes quickly and big yield for the short veg time. im also very happy with the optic 4 wich made the buds dense from top to bottom. i might upgrade to cocos or hydro next grow, or maybe both ;)

(At the end of the photographs there is a video .. if you look at them enlarged it does not appear on smartphones and tablets) All by handmade.. Welcome Ganja lovers 🌍🌎🌏 We are today at the conclusion of this exciting cultivation journal I hope you have already enjoyed the photos of these beautiful flowers 🙂 In the end they speak better than me.. But anyway.. This was a very good experience KALINI ASIA is an amazing Kush strain 👌👌 I have grown all five seeds that ZAMNESIA sent us, each with something different..some nutrients or the specific cultivation technique.. But in the end the story was the same Vigorous Resistant Great aroma Good trichome production And heavy buds production 🔝🔝 I went far enough beyond the timing reported by the seed bank, it could probably have affected the heat wave in the last month 🌡️🌡️🌡️ Especially K # 5 performed more like a Sativa, even in the very fox-tailed shape of the buds. Personally I love them 😍🔥 However, apart from K # 4, all the others showed flowers with that shape. By researching, I discovered that genetics from Asia tend to show flowers with these characteristics.. The effect is still purely Kush, and so is the flavor. But the inflorescence production is really powerful. The buds have grown almost entirely on each branch. Concerning the purple / dark pink colors.. K # ​​1 and K # 3 did not show these shades, but as terpenes they were the same K # ​​2 was the only one grown in an 11l pot practicing lst, exactly like K # 1-3, but where I used my Living soil.. Its colors ranged from rosy to purple, and it was a sight to behold as it slowly depleted all nutrients. To be honest it is the best and with the most delicious scents of all five 🙌 To its detriment, however, it has a much lower production than its two sisters in 11l.. [ For lovers of numbers I will report some data later ] K# ​​4 also presented colors tending to pink / purple, less marked than K # 2-5.. On its side it had a greater resin production 🚀 But I think the (accidental) topping has slowed her down a bit 🤔✂️ K # ​​5 instead was the one with the darkest purple color of all.. But now it has turned more towards a brownish / purple color.. However, I repeat.. Slightly different look But flowers with the same fragrances and effects. As I reported above, this strain is very Kush, so it tends to be earthy and spicy with some citrus notes in the distance. Kush effect, sweet calm of the senses. Personally I find it a ganja to use regardless of the time of day or the various chores done .. Also good for sleeping : 1: Most users will find it more suitable for relaxing moments.. Anyway I generally use vaporizers , because I find them the top from all points of view.. And I generally vape between 180 ° up to 200 ° using mighty or ghost mv1 and sometimes dynavap m. Top flavor and effect 🤩 However, to better assess the quality of the flowers, he always carried out a smoke test Organic papers and filters and only weed, no tobacco or blunt.. Four weeks after the cut, I carried out a first pre-test for each single plant.. The weed was already burning very well and the ash was, and is, a nice light gray color.. This test was done precisely to evaluate drying. To properly evaluate the flavor, especially with varieties with Kush-style terpenes, I wait at least two months after cutting.. So I did another test for each one, and the taste was great 👌👌 In the video you saw I instead decided to roll a nice two-gram joint, with a mix of all five flowers 😎😁 Solo test 🛸 All excellent : 1:: 1:: 1: I love Kush so I'm biased A really good variety that I can only recommend ! .......... ......... ....... ..... About the nutrients Leaving aside the one grown in the Living soil, all the others drew nutrients mainly from the fertilizer that ZAMNESIA sent us.. The MONSTER-MIX What to say.. Really a great product Extremely easy to use With a cocoa scent that makes you want to eat it once opened And plants really appreciate it 🔝👌💯🔥 I have never checked the pH, as I do with my Living soil, and everything went top .. With one bag I managed to feed four of them almost entirely In addition to the MONSTER-MIX and my Living soil, I have added all mycorrhiza plants during transplantation. Also, from the fourth week of life onwards, I used some liquid organic stimulant. Below I report the exact quantities I used for each product (total calculation) For K # 1-2-3 I used, each for each one _Rootjuice (Biobizz) 4ml _Bioheaven (**) 7.5ml _Topmax (**) 13ml _Activera (**) 4ml _Activator (Biomagno) 4ml _Biomass (**) 0.5ml _Voodojuice (Advanced Nutrients) 6,5ml _Piranha (**) 6.5ml _Tarantula (**) 6,5ml _Rinhoskin (**) 15,5ml _Sensizym (**) 13ml _Molasses 23ml For K # 4-5 something less (total sum values, each) _Rootjuice (Biobizz) 3ml _Bioheaven (**) 7.5ml _Topmax (**) 6.25ml _Activera (**) 3ml _Activator (Biomagno) 2.25ml _Voodojuice (Advanced Nutrients) 2.25ml _Piranha (**) 2.25ml _Tarantula (**) 2.25ml _Rinhoskin (**) 6.75ml _Sensizym (**) 6ml _Molasses 10,5ml Regarding mycorrhias, I have used an Italian patented product for many years which is called Micosat F 👌👌👌 I spread about 10g in contact with the roots On top of that, I just washed it down with normal water .......... ......... ....... ..... Always remaining in the field of numbers, for lovers of the sector I report below the various days of vegetative, flowering and respective quantities by weight of the flowers (weighed after drying, precise manicure and maturation of two months in a glass jar) K # ​​1/2/3 _VEG STAGE: 6 weeks _BLOOM STAGE: 10 weeks K # ​​4 _VEG STAGE: 5 weeks _BLOOM STAGE: 10 weeks K # ​​5 _VEG STAGE: 4 weeks _BLOOM STAGE: 11.5 weeks Regarding the final production, I report the various weight systems below _K #1 52g _K #2 31g _K #3 55g _K #4 21g _K #5 41g As lighting I first used a 205w Optica2 led panel in the vegetative phase, but in addition to them there were also two other plants During the flowering phase I switched to using two Black-dog LED panels, each of 200w But even in this phase, the girls divided the light source together with another plant (CORAÇÃO BRASILEIRO diary...55g dry buds) and two more in the last week .. So , 400w for six plants 💡💡💡💡 × 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌳 Personally I am more than satisfied with the yield compared to the final quality. .......... ......... ....... ..... What to say more To be honest, this genetics literally surprised me I can only recommend it to everyone and, even if you don't find the purple phenotype, don't worry too much .. However, you will have a lady plant in your hands who will be able to give you many large and fragrant flowers .. Thanks to Grow Diaries and especially Zamnesia for this opportunity 🙏 And thank you all for appreciating : 1:: 1:: 1: I am looking forward to other similar competitions.. Because personally, every day of these weeks has been a victory. Having the chance to grow cannabis is already the biggest reward 💚 Until next time.. Stay connected 😎 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹 . . . (The support sticks used, which were a little too long, were unfortunately the only ones I found during lockdown)😅

She spread her wings this week. Lower leaves widened and color deepened. I added more Bio365 around her base to support the stretch and keep her rooted. No top dress. No sprays. She’s growing in silence, absorbing the rhythm of the light. Every new node a sign she’s preparing. No water was added this week, and the self-watering reservoir was maintained.

Estou muito Feliz, 7° dia, as minhas meninas estão a desenvolver bem, a Purple Punch tem mutação genética Filotaxia Vertilizada, em dez anos é a segunda planta com esta mutação, e a primeira deu grande produção visto que a planta em vez de ter duas vias, tem três.. 🤩🌲✌️. Grato por fazer parte do growdiaries

Giorno 1 molto bene le ragazze sono state defogliate per entrare pulite nella terza settimana di fioritura Giorno 2 nuovamente LST sul ramo apicale, è infermabile

reagiram bem ao esticamento e a tela. vamos pra mais uma semana.

She was always thirsty! She drank almost as much as my 10ft tall plant & she was under 2ft tall?! Handled LST very well. She had an abundance of leaves which looked like a beautiful canna-bush growing but come trim time ugh not so much. Her leaves started turning darker purple the last two weeks, making her even prettier! She was only 14 inches tall (LST) & wound up having 65 bud sites.
