This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night.
Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday.
Friday:
Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925.
Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often.
Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller.
Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more.
Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent.
Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already?
Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph.
Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node.
Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

Day 9 of flower, very overcrowded in this 4x8! All the plants will be coming out in the next day or two for a severe defoliation. Looking forward to seeing how this cultivar performs, seen good results from a friend of mine

My girls are going perfect they took about 10cm in height and become more bushy.
500-700 ml water per plant every day watering
About 3-4 times i water with nutrients and 3-4 times with water, depends on how many nutrients they want

Doing good... Can't wait till they La Diva Auto flowers are done.. After that I'll be switching the lights the 12/12 to watch them all flower ☺️💚 going to be beautiful... Wish I could smell 🙄(not getting in to the height and everything just yet... I don't have my room setup right at the moment, in the middle of upgrading wiring so I can run all 3 lights at the same time other wish.. Get to that later)

6/1 she is in flower. Gave her a feeding yesterday.
6/2 she is starting to fill out and has good color. She is a stinky little plant. Someone told me cheese is really skunk#1 that the name was changed in England to cheese.
6/5 she is moving along. She is not very tall but her buds are getting thick fast.

The trichomes on the Runtz are all milky and I'm getting some amber on the sugar leaves, I think the end is near 😁
The G13 is looking great and smelling wonderful, the buds are getting heavier and same for the GDP

Hi Growmies
Here we are at the expected finish time and the most mature of these ladies ( #1) is still only starting to cloud up her trichromes. Lots of clear ones still waiting to start ripening though and next to no Amber trichs yet. Looking at the burnt orange pistils and her overall appearance , without checking her trichromes, I would have harvested her too early. Well worth the investment to hit their sweet spots.
The other two ladies are filling put nicely too with plenty of mains within the canopy. Their lowers could have done with more light from a good defol but I wanted to are how much difference it would make.
The #1 has been on just water the past few days but no signs of her cannibalising herself yet. The other two are finishing up their second tomladt feed and I plan 1 more before I flush them for their ripening. I think that the 3 weeks for flowers to appear after the flip may have added the extra time to their finish. Until next time , be well.

If anyone has any advice on how to improve this grow please comment below. thanks for checking out my diary!
End of week 3/Day 27:
ive been flushing alot before giving nutrients to the plant and it seems to be working, plant health is slowly improving again! Started LST a few nights ago and my plant has lost its christmas tree shape :'D the canopy is more flat and more light is getting to all growth on the plant so im happy!
I started giving some rhizotonic near the stem to help with the plant being stressed. it definitely helped make big roots too!
So excited to try some buds! another month or so yet :)
Day 28 - 20/10/19
LST is amazing! i have almost all the growth getting a decent amount of light! im going to enjoy shaping the plant over the next week or so!
Day 31 - 23/10/19
Still doing a light LST, most of the canopy is getting enough light now and the main stem is still growing more nodes.
After getting some advice from a grower with the same model of light as me i now know i can hang my light a lot closer to the plants. im going to get rope rachets hooked up in the next week so i can adjust hang height.
I also got an indoor chilli starter kit and planted jalapeño, cayenne and habanero seeds in some nice small terra cotta pots :) and i posted a few pictures to show the setup :) just cant wait until the whole tent looks more like a garden hahah :)
12 hours later -
Added a video to show progress
Day 32: 24/10/19
woke up this morning and the quick one grew upwards out of the LST :) the top has developed and looks more like an industrial weed plant now which is really exciting! ive been following a water schedule and accidentally gave a few more hours of rest to the plants last night and they have stopped drooping more or less.
Re-lst'd the plant so all growth is receiving light and measured the space between the plant and grow light. its about 60cm/24Inches away which will do fine. Quick one is 18cm with LST, if i measure the stem itself its about 21-22cm tall - about 9 inches.
Other than that the chillis will take up to 2 weeks to germinate, ive been keeping the moisture up around them with a mix of Rhizotonic/Water (1ml/1L) and also sprayed some on the soil as ive found it actually helps seeds germinate quicker with more strength or life in them.
Will update soon for week 5 and considering the smoke is so bad in my town you get an urge not to smoke it i am so excited to be near the finish line :) roll on medicine!

The feed on this week's post is for the RQS Wedding Cake Auto. The FB And Bruce Banner got 1 tsp of BAS Coconut powder and 2 tsp of molasses. The Wedding Cake also got a small top dressing of 2 tbsp of craft blend a buildaflower. Im not too sure on what's going on with the wedding cake but im letting it ride out.

Hello everyone,
Welcome to the week 10 update for my Mac 1 F1 hybrid clones. They’ve officially reached a double-digit vegetative stage, and honestly, at this rate, they might start asking me for a retirement plan before they ever see a single flower bud!
The biggest news this week is about the tools of the trade. It turns out my pH meter was way off. Luckily, my new calibration liquids arrived yesterday, and I immediately calibrated both of my meters. From this point forward, we are locking in perfect accuracy and assuming nutrient lockouts are officially a thing of the past.
Speaking of nutrients, I have transitioned over to Plagron Coco A and B (just in case I forgot to mention it last week). The girls are currently drinking up reverse osmosis water mixed with 3.5 ml of Plagron Coco A and B per liter. Because RO water is practically blank when it comes to minerals, I am also supplementing with 1 ml of Canna Calmag Agent per liter to keep them perfectly balanced.
The environment is sitting nicely as well:
• Temperature: Holding steady at 25° Celsius.
• Humidity: Staying comfortably above 63%.
The next step is the big upgrade. I am just waiting for the 10-gallon air pots to become available, which should likely happen this Saturday or Sunday. As soon as they land, I will be transplanting the clones right into them to give their roots some massive room to explode before the big flip.
For now, that's all folks.
Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day.

Not stretching as much and the buds are starting to bulk up all the bud sights have a nice purple fade. She’s a short plant but looks like she will be productive in the end. Day 47 had to remove some of the big fan leaves that were blocking light on some of the bud sites below them. She's really starting to put on some weight.

I received the clones from An out of province breeder.
It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain.
I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance.
I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants.
I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation.
At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

harvesting due to the beginning of the spring equinox in the southern hemisphere and so the days have more than 12 hours of light. The plant showed signs of revegetation in recent days, the same occurred with two other plants that will make the posts and give continuity to the revegetation diaries of the plants. Att
colheita realizada devido ao ínicio do equinocio de primavera no hemisferio sul e com isso os dias tem mais de 12 horas de luz. A planta apresentava sinais de revegetação nos ultimos dias, o mesmo ocorreu com outras duas plantas que realizarei as postagens e darei continuidade aos diarios de revegetação das plantas. Att

***update on effect after two weeks of healing;
ironically, even though I had harvested early due to revegetation, after 2 weeks of healing the herb shows strong citrus and herbal taste and smell. about the effects ... The wave is insane, almost completely cerebral, too strong. It was a good choice to keep it in revegetation and not pick up the other copy which I also let revegetate and make a diary. Att

27.08. Die zwei wachsen echt kräftig. Ich habe die Orange leider etwas verletzt und mir geht der Platz am Topf aus um den Haupttrieb unten zu halten. Daher werde ich den Haupttrieb in Ruhe lassen und nur noch die Seitentriebe weiter nach außen bringen. Bei der Apfelstrudel muss ich das genau so tun. In 1-2 Tagen werden beide nochmal leicht entblättert.
28.08.
Alle Seitentriebe weiter nach außen gebogen. Orangensorbet hat 12 Blätter abbekommen und Apfelstrudel 14 Blätter. Orange hat keine Nachwirkungen durch ihre Verletzung gezeigt.
Am 30.08. Haben die zwei jeweils 2,5L mit insgesamt 15ml Bio Grow, 10ml Acti Vera, 10ml Bio Heaven und 6ml Calmag auf ph 6,46. Direkt nach dem Gießen beide etwas entblättert. Wie schnell die zwei an neuen Blätter zulegen ist krass. Und dann hab ich weiter versucht die Seitentriebe weiter nach außen zu bringen
