11/4 130am Lights up to 77 watts 4.3 grams Maxi-Grow powder this week. Using mix from last week. Will probably switch to Bloom by Wed. 11/5 12am Canopy Creations LST things are great resistance training builds huge branches!!! They are amazing. 10am growing fast and big after today’s watering!!! Garlic muffin and fatso have the thickest branches that I’ve ever seen the side branches are thicker than what I got when I was growing in bigger containers so these nutrients and the soil and this light wattage seems to be a good formula I have to save this and work on it And stressing with the Canopy Creations has doubled the diameter of the branches that I have been stressing. Just great results. 11/6 Galic is the strongest so far her branches are THICK, a perfect 4 cola grow. Each of the 4 branches are as thick as the main stem on my first few tries at this. 12am They were all dry gave water probably last week using Grow switching to Bloom nutrients. Extremely strong plants from Seedsman!!!! When I finally got them going I found using Maxi-Grow & Rapid Start made a huge difference!!! Only Rapid Start for the first week. 11/7 1am GM & CA are huge now!! lights up 89W as the leaves fold up a little for the heat I will raise them an inch or so. 1pm did water today. They are starting to flower 11/8 12:30am Switched to Bloom nutrients yesterday after the last feeding with Grow they all went to sleep right away after that and are waking up now with flowers forming. I will use 4grams Bloom, 0.4 Purpinator, 0.5 Rapid Start, 0.4 Silica, 0.4 Cal/Mag. Silica causes fluctuations in pH. 2am Galic is a MONSTER, and Seedsman is out of them. Fatso is next for size. I can not believe how huge the branches are this technique of 4 colas in a small 1 gallon container. These plants will be perfect for this 9am LST crazy day!!! I have never been able to train the small set of first branches that come off the first node on plants before until seedsmen Faso and garlic🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 11/9 1am flowering I might have to split them up into 2 tents they are all getting bigger than I thought they could, this is just great! after 20 fails I think im getting this small grow style worked out. 1:30pm moved the RSQ's into tent 3. Tent 2 not big enough but I'll make it work. Once I harvest the plants from the 🎃 Halloween All the Darkness grow it will be easier. Galic & Fatso by Seedman are HUGE very thick branches, thick side branches responds to training extremely well. Strongest F1's!

UPDATE - SUNDAY I just laid on my bed in the dark and put the DGC on to listen to as I relax/snooze and I suddenly realised it is Monday and therefore I am due to update my diary, he photos and the comments. I remember now that on my last grow, comparing this weeks photos with that of last weeks makes it easier to see your bud development... I am just about to go and take some photos and feed the recharge and other goodies. They are staring to smell SOO GOOD! I was pretty worried about it not being enough light though. I was worried about it being similar to the time I flowered an auto in a 1 gal pot, under a 200w CFL (one of those comically oversized ones) It had good morphology but it didn't smell of anything at all and had no thrich's at all so wasn't much use lol. Luckily this smells a hell of a lot more and also has visible trichomes. Right im going to go take my photos....ok these are not the best photos but ill chuck some more up later this week. The plant on he right seems to be most vigorous atm and no so surprisingly this is the quick one. Royal creamatic is slower to develop slightly bu I smells so unbelievably fruity and beauiful. UPDATE - MONDAY Hi guys, back again the day after my last update as I got distracted and started taking some photos and remembered the ones I put up yesterday were shit. I was laying in bed last night thinking I am actually really glad I got the strains of genetics that I did actually and here is why. Well, I wasn't actually THAT excited about them if im completely honest, it was more of a budget decision to get this particular cultivar. I was pretty certain I wanted to try out Royal Queen Seeds and I knew I had to, and wanted to try some autoflowers for this run and saw people were getting some excellent, consistent results from a very limited budget in all the grow diaries I had researched. Now here is why i am particularly glad I went with a strain I wasn't all that pumped about. I think if I had been awaiting a strain I was really looking forward too, it would have seemed to take much longer, this way, I am only pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed. I am also going to upload a Bio-bizz schedule into my images so I can just refer to my diary rather than having to dig one out even though I have my diary open anyway. UPDATE - WEDNESDAY These babies are starting to really stink now. I cant tell if its because I vape copious amounts of weed in my flat or if I need to replace my carbon filter. I definitely need to replace my filer for my next round for sure. I will monitor it and if it gets worse with me airing out my flat more I will replace the filter, or at least replace the activated carbon within the filter. I also just opened the door check them and they have gained noticeable amounts of weight on the buds. I love It when you go in the grow for the first time in a while and you can see its grown quite a lot since your last check. I think I am going to have a browse through peoples diaries who have grown the same strains and see who has had success, then try to mimic how they finished up... The smell is unbelievable, these are two really surprisingly smelly strains. I really cant wait for the scissor hash, I think im also going to freeze all the trim down so that when iv done enough grows I can do some mixed run bubble hash as I still have the bags from last time. Ill probably just freeze it until iv competed my next, bigger 60cmx120cm grow with 3 plants. Cant wait for that to be honest, I have been waiting to swap my flats layout and furniture around for ages but I have been awaiting these beautiful girls to finish up before I can move stuff really. Its going to be a pretty big job, but when its done I should be pretty self sufficient with regards to my medicine. This will be a HUGE relief to me in more than one way. It will remove the constant anxiety that I will run out and not have enough medicine, the cannabis itself will also help with my anxiety and depression. It will also help me in a third way just by doing the gardening itself. Gardening is such a therapeutic act in itself bu also the fact I am caring for my medicine for its whole life and then its harvested in order for it to look after me. I love the process massively. I am very scared that UPDATE - FRI I was looking through my used seed packs and I realised id made a mistake and that the pant on the right is RQS Easy Bud. This 100% so I changed the diary. I also fits with previous photos that have been taken of this strain. Makes a lot more sense to me now. I now need to see how long they suggest running it for. UPDATE - SAT Just checked on the ladies and I have some kind of flies starting to infest a little :( I dont know what they are they look like some sort of fruit fly or something. Thy don't seem to be too bad at the moment but I am going to slow down on waterings a little. I increased the amount I was watering so I don't think the top layer of soil is drying out enough so that will definitely make their houses more hospitable to them. I also checked the trichomes with my jewellers loupe but it is a really shit one and its really hard to look through whilst keeping the plans the right distance from the loupe and steadying the buds so they will stay in focus. Anyway long story short, the trich's are starting to get cloudy now. I couldn't see any amber though, I am kind of looking for as much of a narcotic high as possible so will wait a while longer. I am going to start flushing for a week, maybe 2, tomorrow though. I actually checked both the plants for trichomes and they were both at pretty much the same stage, however, bud development definitely looks more advanced on the Royal Creamatic plant due to the fact the pistols are mostly amber in colour now. This is the problem with growing different strains in the same bed. I also noticed I am starting to get some deep purple colours on one of the royal creamatic buds. Only a tiny bit but it's interesting. Am going to wait till tomorrow to take more photos as tha will e the begginning of week 9. I don't really expect the creamatic to pile on loads more weight now really, I have noticed they seem to be excreting lots of "gooeyness" in terms of feel in the past couple of days. The buds look smaller but more compact on the creamatic compared to the easy bud. The problem is one strain I am growing says 8-9 weeks and the other says 10-12 weeks (according to breeders website) and one plant does look about a couple of weeks ahead of the other, however, its the wrong way round and I did have problems with labeling them at one point so I think I may have got them mixed up somewhere along the road!!! It definitely doesnt seem right that the one that is meant to be ready for harvest around now still has all white pistols and the one that is meant to have another 2-3 weeks left, all the pistols are nicely retracted and amber and is starting ti fade before flush and get nice blue colours on the bud. No, I definiely think I labeled them wrong and will probably start treating the as such from here on in I think...god why am I so unorganised!

Ze heeft de buds best wel volume gegeven, ze ziet er weer gelukkig uit. Het heeft geholpen de bodem te bedekken met zand want ik zie geen vliegjes meer uit de grond kruipen. Laten we kijken hoe ze zich deze week ontwikkeld. Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten.

February 2, 2021 (Week 4, Day 29): The plants grew enough overnight to top at the third node. This is the second and last time I'll be topping these plants - this is the Nebula method of manifolding. I also took off the second node of each growth stem as well as the original fan leaves. I've pressed them in my plant press to save the memories of my experience with my first grow. I also redid the LST on every plant. The new growth sites I've pinned to the fan leaves. I really enjoy doing LST, it's quite therapeutic to figure out just how to support the plant without harming it. I think I am getting great lateral growth so far. The main growth stems are swelling a lot at the bases. Medium is still wet from yesterday - lightly tilled about a half inch of top soil. I've turned down the humidity another 5% this week. I'll keep it there most likely until I start the flowering cycle. Averaging 60% rH and 78℉. Plants are happy, and I am happy. 😸 February 3, 2021 (Week 4, Day 30): Plants are looking good this morning. The nitrogen toxicity in Unknown 2 is beginning to subside. Now Unknown 1 seems to be having a nitrogen toxicity as well - slight leaf curling at the ends with a very lush and dark green color. I am assuming this soil is still very hot. As I've lowered the humidity I suspect more nutrients are being sucked in through the roots instead of transpiration through the leaves. I think the plants are going to take a little bit to get used to the hot soil, but I bet once they do they'll be as happy as ever. Medium is still slightly moist this morning, no watering. I tilled a half inch of top soil again to keep everything aerated. Most likely will water tomorrow or the next day. My LST seems to be holding nicely. I tied down Unknown 2's first growth tips as the fan leaves have finally straightened out after the topping yesterday. New growth tips are emerging nicely from the third node of each lateral stem. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. Nothing else to report for today. February 4, 2021 (Week 4, Day 31) : Growth looks good overnight. I think this second topping is confusing the plants a bit. Lots of bulking of the stems, but not much lateral growth. I have a feeling they'll take off over the next few days. They're still growing really well. I posted a grow question last night having to do with little white bead-like structures growing on the surfaces of the leaves on every plant. I was concerned it may be a mold or fungus starting to grow. I did a bunch of research and it seems to be early trichome development called "sessile glands". I still have the question open and I am trying to get confirmation. Really hoping if they're trichomes that's a good sign that these plants are going to be frosty. I uploaded some pictures to show the development. Over night they started to grow everywhere on the leaves - hopefully they really are just trichomes and I am being over-vigilant. Better safe than sorry. I watered the plants today without nutrients; 3 liters per plant pH'd to 5.8. Runoff sitting at ~6.5 pH now which is much better. I'll continue to run 5.8 pH solution until I see the pH of the soil come down to at least 6.2-6.3. Tomorrow I'll most likely have to defoliate a bit and tie down the second sets of growth stems, as they're beginning to stretch and grow vertically. Averaging 60% rH and 76℉. Happy growing all! 😸 February 5, 2021 (Week 4, Day 32): The plants are exploding with growth now. I defoliated the fan leaves from the first node on every plant and tied down the growth stem for lateral growth. These plants are meaty as hell. The stems are thickening really quickly and I am getting tons of foliage and stem growth. The third nodes are starting to come around. I think I figured out the "mold" issue I thought was starting. They're definitely trichomes, not mold. I touched the leaves that were sparkling and my fingertips got sticky, oily, and reeked of weed - so that's great news. The smell in my grow room is getting stronger every day. While defoliating this morning I found my first pre-flowers on Gelato 1! It looks like all the plants are female, but Gelato 1 threw some pretty pistils at me to get my attention. Seems like the plants are reaching maturity. Depending on growth over the next few weeks it may be time to switch to flower soon! I am aiming for about 16" in veg before switching. Seeing these pre-flowers made me so anxious for flowering. Unknown 1 and Unknown 2 are doing great as well - all the signs of the nitrogen toxicity have subsided. Unknown 2 has more trichomes on the leaves than any of the other plants, and its foliage is a beautiful deep green. They are either different phenotypes or different strains entirely as the two of them are growing and looking quite different. Unknown 1 is much lankier so I suspect a different strain. Unknown 2 is especially squat and I suspect it's 100% indica or close to it. Medium is still wet. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. No other news today. February 6, 2021 (Week 4, Day 33): Last 24 hours I have seen at least an inch of lateral growth per growth stem on each plant. These girls are absolutely loving life from the looks of it, they're growing incredibly fast. I redid a bunch of LST today. Had to move every tie up one node. Medium is still moist. Lightly tilled half inch of top soil. Gelato 1 is shooting out more pre-flowers. Thanks to my wife we have new friends that have joined us in the smart pots. 😸 Averaging 60% rH and 75℉. Happy weekend everyone! February 7, 2021 (Week 4, Day 34): These girls are chugging right along. Tons of great lateral growth every 24 hours at this point. Having to adjust LST pretty much every morning to accommodate for the crazy growth. Gelato 1 is a freak of nature - the fan leaves are gigantic. Defoliated again today; took the fan leaves from the third node of each plant. Will be defoliating the first node of the secondary growth stems tomorrow most likely. Medium is slightly moist. Tilled the soil again. Will be watering tomorrow morning most likely. There's still a little dropping at the ends of the leaves so I will hold off on nutrients until all nitrogen toxicity has subsided. Averaging 60% rH and 77℉. Nothing else for today. February 8, 2021 (Week 4, Day 35): Watered today with 3 liters of 5.8 pH filtered water per plant (no nutrients) - runoff around ~6.7-6.8 pH. Will most likely resume nutrients upon next feeding depending on how the plants look. Defoliated entire first node from center four growth stems and tied down third nodes. Readjusted outside LST. The plants are almost to the outside of the pot which is when I'll switch to vertical growth. Unknown 1 is very close to being let loose, it's also pre-flowering now. Gelato 1 is now covered in pre-flowers - it's definitely a happy plant. Unknown 2 is still the runt of the group but also appears to be almost 100% indica by how stout it is. It's showing sex but no pistils yet. All three plants seem to responding well to mainlining and the stress isn't making them skip a beat. Stems are getting huge. I downloaded an app on my phone to check how well my lights are doing and, if the readings are accurate, I am very impressed with these lights. I've read cannabis can handle around ~65 DLI, so I am right where I need to be. Averaging 60% rH and 78℉. That ends week 4 of veg. Time is flying. Hoping to switch to flower in two weeks for a total of six weeks in veg. Getting super stoked to switch over! Happy growing everyone! 👽

Eccoci ragazzi siamo a più della metà di fioritura.. Purtroppo poca resina, ma le cime sono belle compatte e dure, non c'è molto aroma nella aria, speriamo che migliori nelle prossime settimane, purtroppo ho fatto qualche errore forse con questa ragazza, ho dato troppi nutrienti e troppo poco calcio e magnesio.. Staremo a vedere come procede e cosa ne esce fuori, come struttura è davvero una pianta imponente, praticamente l ho solo stoppata due volte e per il resto l ho lasciata crescere nel modo più naturale possibile, senza defogliare o togliere rami, infatti è diventata un mostro come grandezza, ma purtroppo per ora c'è poca sostanza di quello che mi interessa veramente è avere tanta resina.. Speriamo continui ad ingrossarsi, provvederò a mettere dei sostegni, anche se penso che non ne abbia bisogno dato che la struttura ad albero di Natale, sembra bella solida.. Grazie ad anesia seeds che ha reso possibile tutto ciò, hanno delle genetiche grandiose! Il prossimo ciclo di sicuro metterò di nuovo loro perché esce Dell erba meravigliosamente potente! 💪😸🌱🌿🥦🧑‍🌾🤞🍀😽💨🔥

----------- Week 5: ---------- Beginning of the 2nd week of flowering. I have noticed that the 3 biotabs that went into the ground last week, released just a little too much fertilizer in these early days of flowering. You can see that there is slight discoloration in her leaves. We go from the darker green to the lighter lime green, which indicates that she is getting just a little too much P. I fear this will probably continue for the next few weeks. Fortunately, she has a good start and basis and this will not have too many negative effects. Pushing her a little bit doesn't hurt either. Although I think I might consider using only 2 biotabs in 25l soil in the next round. First, let's wait and see how this evolves. Furthermore, of course nothing to complain. Nice further development of her budsites and she also has 2 main branches fighting for dominance. . Unwards to the second week of bloom. Until next week!

previous watering was fed with nutrients this is one with the highest EC of the three that are in the tent, and my temperature is not low so it should go with minimum to medium quotas with more water avoiding burns without much runoff taking place mixing with the soil compounds and mycorrhizae for better performance i know i need calcium magnesium for better performance the problem is money i will continue to use salt Epson the option i have at the moment the direct sulfur in the soil mix has helped me hear a change visible. water ph 6.2 solution temperature 20 ° - 0.50 g of great white mycorrhiza 2 days earlier were sprayed with water without ppm via leaves - lights off to serve as a cooling shower in the heat is great for stomata . Simple led panel added as main light source 260watts being divided to 3 plants in the fullspectro tent model, did not get much difference in temperatures compared to HPS, is more the same spectro ratio and UV to reach more directly in the trichomes and terpenes. this amnesia is not as fast as your sister but from the stress she had back in the beginning, I admire her strength with thinner sativa leaves her trichomes are coming close to the smaller leaves. LST has reduced its size by half as its sister is 40 cm while her tree-shaped sister is 88 cm.

The girls have been doing great this week ❤️ lots of fattening and stacking. They are giving off a greasy kerosene smell mixed with sandalwood at the moment and are stinking up my house whenever the tent is open. I have had to run my exhaust fan at level 10 for the past 2 weeks so that the smells aren’t overwhelming when you walk in. Temps have been consistent, and I haven’t had the need for added humidity, it’s been steady around 55-60% I have turned the fans up to ensure good airflow, hopefully we can just ride her out to some fat colas !
