Plants took a hard hit with bad ph levels in week 4 for a few days but are growing strong again and I will probably veg till the end of week 6 on these girls and switch to flowering in week 7. Overall it’s going good, water temps are a steady 18 Celsius with the thermoelectric water cooler I built and the small ac unit In the tent is holding the air temps between 23-25 Celsius. I added 4 gal of fresh water and nutrients at full strength to the reservoir on Day 38. Also the first lower screen was installed and I tied down/tucked a few of the larger branches to the screen.

Day 22 she has more than doubled in height the past week. Growth is outstanding and leaves are a beautiful green. She is growing like a dream at the moment. Fed to runoff. Feeding now done once per day at lights on. Was once every other day. No signs of sex yet. Root zone Coco slurry ph test 1 tbsp coco 1.5 tbsp RO shaken and mixed thoroughl. 2 hrs waited and results are 5.9. Excellent!! Coco sample was taken before feeding. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method for nutes this run going great. Just using coco a+b, hydroguard to help with my benies, and silica blast to help strengthen branches and also doubles as the perfect ph buffer for my tap water. Using tap water left out for several days to de-chlorinate with a ppm of 180 has worked out great, no added calmag. Day 23 fed to runoff Day 24 Dory is thriving right now. Still no signs of sex. Her roommate ended up being a male and this isnt a coed dorm. Dory is now the sole resident, which may not be a bad thing and will give me more room to let her flourish. Added skeleton from my scrog to help support the tent walls from being sucked in from the exhaust fan. Fed to runoff Day 25 fed to runoff. She grew 2" overnight. Going to begin mild lst in a few days. Still no signs of sex. Angled second led panel to help penetrate lower part of plant. Day 26, she's finally revealed herself as a true classy lady 😁🤪😊. I know this isnt a huge deal, but since her roommate turned up male, I was worried. The other plant was not a Dinafem Moby Dick. Fed HER to run off. She has also started to be a little more fragrent this week. Smells of pepper, mint, and tomato vine. Day 27 more and more calyx and pistils appearing and no signs of balls 👍. She is definitely drinking more, coco was still damp but pot is getting lighter each time I go to feed. May set up drip system this weekend. Fed her to runoff. She's growing about an inch per day right now. I can only go about another 5 inches and I will run out of head room. Will LST her down a bit this weekend. Day 28 she drank herself nearly dry overnight. Installing drip system tomorrow. Fed to extra runoff since media was drier than I like it to be. Keep ppms in check. Before I install system tomorrow, I will slurry test root zone for pH. She grew another 2 inches last night for a total of 10 inches this week. She was just 4" tall at the start of 12/12 13 days ago. More pistils appearing. Due to concerns about head space and she shows no signs of slowing, I began mild lst. Removed 1 fan leaf for canopy penetration.

New week! Tips and help from last week, I had around 1500 ppm and I did flush my roots in water and change everything. Now is around 1000 ppm and dropping 150 ppm a day. Did read about water level in DWC and how to increase the grow with water. I had the water almost up to the root or the level of there the basket is. Now I have 1-2 inch (2-5 cm) below where the roots come out. This create air roots. I'm not sure if it's the air roots or the ppm but my flower is boosting. Can se buds grow!! Trimming so I can keep the same hight. Have any tips or rekomandation? Only have one question for next week and this is: it's looking a bit thigth between the buds and all of the leaf is cristal on it. Should I cut some more leaf? And what leaf should I trim? Is so thigth in there. Or will it grow fine?

Die Pflanzen haben deutlich mehr Durst. Eine halbe Stunde nach ihrem Sonnenaufgang sind sie zweimal in Folge sehr trocken gewesen. Die Spitzen der Stempel an einigen Blüten haben sich leicht braun gefärbt. Daher die Wassergabe jetzt auf 3,5l Täglich erhöht. 2,5l eine halbe Stunde nach "Sonnenaufgang" mit normaler Düngung und ca 5h später nochmals 1l jedoch mit halber Dünger Dosis.

Zdarec lidi😎 No nějak mi začíná dělat starosti. Nejmenší listy který jsou dole začínají usychat (bojím se plísně ) protože nedostatkem vody to není. A jsou takovou srackou bilou napadeny. Jinak u všechn listu který jsou velký mi konce taky schnout a kroutí se . Přitom dostávají všechny stejnou péči . Kdyby měl někdo nápad jak jim pomoc. Piš. 🤓🤓

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Week 16 Harvest 17 th April 2020 This Entire feminised seed making and growing project was a very good learning experience for me. Right from the very start, when I successfully got a Cutting ,taken from a Barneys Farm Red diesel female plant to produce feminised pollen after treating it with a silver thiosulfate solution. I then used it to pollinate a Fastbuds Girl scout cookies auto plant and let it grow to maturity. This only produced 3 viable seeds one of which is the subject of this Diary. I made up the name "Ginger nut cookies" after a variety of cookies we have here in Australia that are made with ginger. They are the same colour as the distinct red hairs on the red diesel buds. And would you believe those same vivid red hairs were passed on to this plant so I wasn't too far off the mark with the strain name. Her flavour however is nothing like red diesel or girl scout cookies and infact as taken on a smell and aroma all of it's own. She has a lovely tropical fruit like taste and the smell is a bit like fruit yoghurt. It has an unreal after taste on the exhale and the lingering second hand smoke smells very sweet and enticing. She has a pretty well balanced high too not as potent as the GSC nor as energenic as the red diesel but just a pleasant mix of the two. It was a very easy to grow and undemanding plant that didn't seem to require a lot of extra feeding other than the 100% organic nutrients that were within the soil and a few things like compost teas etc. The other element of this diary was of course the weekly Aussie music videos That I provided the links for and put up a little video clip preview of each Artists song. Week 1 Dance Monkey Week 2 Gotye Week 3 AC/DC Week 4 INXS Week 5 Dire straits Week 6 Yothu yindi and Midnight oil Week 7 Divinyls Week 8 Was Request week where I asked growers to pick and because only 3 growers put in a request I decided to choose all three which were Kylie Minogue , Flume & Airbourne Week 9 Paul Kelly Week 10 Daddy Cool Week 11 Cold chisel Week 12 Jimmy Barnes Week 13 The Angels Week 14 Crowded House Hoodoo gurus Mental as Anything Week 15 Empire of the sun Big Pig , Silverchair , Peking duk Grinspoon , Hilltop hoods and the White stripes And Finally for the last lot of music videos I have chosen another multi list bonanza of Aussie Music with the artist/s name and Youtube link below. So in no particular order here are my last choices for this Diary its been a fun grow with a steep learning curve.
