Welcome to week 3 of veg. They’ve been growing about 1” per day lately. I’m planning to SCROG these three girls with a portable scrog screen. Supplies arrive today and I’m anxious to test this. (Note that my portable scrog screen didn’t work, so I’m using a 2x4 stretch screen). So far the self watering feeders are working well. The reservoir ph does tend to climb, so I make regular adjustments by adding RO water to the nutrient mix and using ph down. The PPM of the nutrients is climbing too, so adding RO dilutes that. As an example, it had climbed from 925 ppm to 1080 ppm overnight. I diluted it back down to 880 ppm. Saturday: installed scrog net Sunday: checked reservoir ph (6.4) and ppm (970). Added ph down. Adjusted scrog net. Discoloration in leaves appears to be worsening. Waiting for a new dehumidifier to arrive. With all of the humidity that the fiber pots put off, I’m going to need a dehumidifier in flower. Monday: ran pipes for humidifier, heater and dehumidifier through a different tent outlet. I’m ready to start dehumidifying at flower flip. Removed humidifier since I won’t need it until after the harvest (I dry in my tent ideally). Topped off reservoir water with a heavy emphasis on CalMag. Reservoirs are at a ph of 6.0 and 750ppm. Lowered ppm due to start of burnt leaf tips on one plant. Wednesday. Lowered ph in reservoir from 6.4 to 6.1 with ph down and diluted nutrients. Lowered ppm from 780 to 700. Removed growth below the SCROG net. Adjusted lighting to a DLI of 35 which proved too intense for the plants, so I backed it down to 30 DLI. Thursday: wrapped up the week by giving them a foliar spray after lights went out. Feeding 5ml/g or CalMag and 30ml/g of Seaweed Extract. Topped off reservoirs using 6ml/g of micro, 9ml/g of Bloom, Seaweed and 2ml CalMag.

just before flowering 8 weeks ago-I took 2 clones of each strain from my last 4 diaries - 8 clones total and vegged them with CFL then went to LED reflector mars 192 (400w wall). now,my flowering room has just finished the last crop so i moved all 8 grown ups to veg another week and today i started 1212. i will be adding 2 X 300w BloomSpect LED panels in a week so total flowering led power is Mars Reflector 192 plus the 2units bloomspect 300 (660w wall). This diary records only flowering weeks without the clones vegging. I am having 8 plants with 660w @ 1.2m by 1.2m room - 10-12 oz dry is expected. Pictures soon Cheers

El 10 de mayo pusimos las 4 semillas en un vaso de agua para germinarlas, y el dia 15 salieron en el sustrato, con una maceta de 2 L , a partir de la primera semana bebieron bionabis, este cultivo vamos a seguir la tabla de elicitación y nutrición como el anterior, ademas probaremos el enzynabis y el living soil de terranabis ! Ya vamos por la segunda semana de vegetación, en breves nos ponemos al dia ! Saludos.

Ho trovato una cima con un principio di muffa, sono abbastanza sicuro di aver pulito bene...avevo intenzione di chiudere con 10 settimane sperimentando un flushing leggero ma più lungo, ma visto il rischio muffa non mi spingerò oltre 9 settimane e 3 giorni. Per il resto le 2 gorilla girl hanno aumentato il volume dei loro fiori ed ottenuto copiose concentrazioni di tricomi.... Ci vediamo al raccolto!!!!

Started having some leaf issues at the end of week 6, defoliated, gave medium/heavy feeding of big bloom. Going to start flushing with distilled water for a few days and see if any improvement, only fan leaves affected at this time. Day 45: checked ph of soil, showing 7.0, just ordered some fox farms ph down should be here in 48hrs Day 49: bought a reliable pH testing pen and found my distilled water to be 9.5! Mixed up some spring water/nutes/pH down at 5.8/5.9 . Hopefully this does the trick!

Good day to every one. The plant feeling like it should be, flowering without any problem. I really like the genetic. Hope to finish within 2 weeks. Look at these beautiful and long inflorescences, which are covered with crystals every day and pull their antennae to the sides. trichomes change color. The aroma is tolerable and I am not using the filter yet.

This will be one of the last uploads before harvest. And even then I plan on taking photos of the harvest so I can really show how big this thing is. The root ball must be massive I've had roots dying and growing constantly through the fabric pot for a month+ now. It's smelly as fuck and resinous as hell. My third plant....third times a charm lol. The first two fuck ups, third one a masterpiece to me anyways. And time still yet to tell with curing I may fuck it up again but I'm going to do my best to do everything right this time 100%. I gave purpinator for along time basically since week 4 or 5 and it never really turned until the end a light shade of red on most of the branches. I might let go another week so it sucks all the fan leaves dry if that's ok. My last update came a day late. This one came a day early since I consider my first actual veg day to be on a sunday

The LSD25’s are doing pretty well! They’ve stayed short and stalky but their buds seem to be filling out nice and dense. Two of the lsd’s were suffering a slight nitrogen and phosphorus deficiency. I’m not too worried about it since it is somewhat natural for this to happen during this part of their life cycle. I gave them a nice dose of bloom nutrients and so far they seem to be really enjoying their food. A day after the feed they bulked up quite a bit and the trichromes became much more visible to the naked eye. Regardless of my initial issues with my medium and original ph pen, I am pleased with these girls so far. The scent and aroma coming off of the plants is nothing like I’ve smelt before. Almost every bud site releases a different terp/aromatic profile when touched. It’s an interesting smell the notes/terp profile I get from it is; musk (mycerene), lemon (limonene), peppery/herbal (caryophyllene) and slight lavender (linalool) type scent. I’m not used to smelling this many different profiles from one strain but I must say that the smell is almost addicting!

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode
