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!

Just trying to get back to normal life after the Thomas fire. I believe I have two phenotypes of some gorilla glue lineage as the seed came from a very tasty dispensary quarter. Even though the little ugly plants look grotesque, they are loaded with bud sites. I have photos and videos and notes of the past few weeks so I will try to back annotate. Gradually ramped light down from 18 hours to 12 after power outages due to the fire, and it was about good time to flip anyway. It is so much easier to control temperature during the winter in my space. The lights keep the space at a pretty steady 74 F. I haven’t pushed PPM and am keeping Ph in the 6-6.8 range. I’m using peony rings as support and to spread a little but I am not training for a perfectly flat canopy as I had excellent popcorn nugs in my last grow even with the lights over 2x further than optimal. Defoliated the lower branches but I am not defoliating aggressively, but will continue to remove any withering leaves. Sorry for the slow updates. The fire has been pretty traumatic for my city and myself, and I’m just getting back to normal life. My home, family and pets are safe, and the fire is mostly contained. Thank you for checking out my diary. Happy holidays and I hope Santa Ja brings you a giant tree!

First, I made a mistake on week 13, it is not vegetative week but flowering week.The flowers enlarge and become hard as stone. The smell is more and more intense. I have not spotted any parasites or deficiencies.I would say it will be ready the first week of October.I thought it would be faster but it's probably because of the hard living conditions she been trought..

Растения просто гиганты, я уже 2 раза очень хорошо обрывал лишние листья и нижние ветки, но они продолжают разрывать мою комнату. Жду когда начнут набирать массу. Сегодня как следует опрыскал растения Делта 9. Вообщем все выглядит очень сильно, еще бы хотелось увидеть тяжелые, плотные и крупные бутоны. Монстры нереальные, ждем активного цветения

Vše v pořádku, akorá u Tangerine Sorbet pozoruji pomaleji pomaleji kvetoucí, řekl bych +- 14 dní. Jinak se některé holky pěkně zbarvujou. Začínají být pěkně pokryté ledovou peřinou. Řekl bych, že máme před sebou ještě tak měsíc. Moc se na ně těším 🍊🍧🌻🌺🌷💐🏵️

I still don't have a clue what CA stands for, but she's coming along nicely so far. I think I'm going to try more of a manifold LST with her once she gets a little bigger.

Semana del 3 al 9 de Mayo. Como puse en la pregunta de la semana anterior, ya vieron que tengo una chica hermafrodita. No tengo otro indoor para ponerla, así que la saqué a otra habitación y le puse la TGL60 a ver que pasa. Las otras tres plantas siguen en el indoor con la TGL 220. Como estaban con la malla, me costó mucho sacarla del indoor. Tuve que atarla porque las ramas no se sostenían muy bien por si mismas, así que ahora tengo este ramo que cocecharé más o menos el 16 de mayo. No parecen engordar mucho los cogollos, creo que los insectos afectaron más de lo que pensaba, sobretodo porque estos atacan las raíces. Las luces estaban a 15cm porque es lo que sugiere el fabricante para este periodo. Consideren que no es el clásico led y ya está. Ahora están a 20cm por miedo a que vayan a sufrir algún estrés lumínico.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 25/10/2019 - First feed I gave her 0.25ml on 250ml of water of Biobizz-Grow, with 6.5ph. 26/10/2019 - Leafs looking a bit crooked, and some pale spot lets hope its not fungus. (gave her 100ml of just PH 6.5 water) 27/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml Biobizz Grow, 6.4PH (changed feeding to once every 2 days with a plain water interval) 28/10/2019 - Started LST 30/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml of each Biobizz - Grow,Bloom and Max, 6.3PH, added carbon filter and it raised the temps to 29c 31/10/2019 - A tad too much of nuts, little burn tip. (Sensi Seeds warned me but I still goofed it)

I finally had some time to harvest everything, left her for 2 days in the dark in a vase. The smell was so intense in comparison to the painkiller. Since it rained a lot there was some bud rot but I guess that was inevitable. The honey cream still grows strong has no bud rot since the buds seem fluffy enough for a good airflow.

Skunk Special, a.k.a. Red Skunk, stems from the infamous Red Skunk clones that conquered the Netherlands in the late eighties/ early nineties. Ferry started working on the Skunk Special in the nineties. The Skunk Special is the result of several S1 lines inbred with a 25% of Automatic. The current line was selected over several generations in order to retain the right and essential Skunk features, yet creating a fast flowering strain. Showing almost no variety between the individuals, this is among the most stable and homogenous strains since it was selected from a few thousand plants. This Skunk Special is a powerful and strong plant with thick, solid stems, creating massively tight buds during the flowering stage. The Skunk Special has gorgeous looking red pistils that give this plant an amazing bag appeal. Skunk Special is suitable for indoor, greenhouses and outdoors if grown in temperate and/or the warm Mediterranean climate. It is a massive yielding outdoor behemoth with amazing trichome production. The smell can be described as extremely pungent and citral with the classic cat-piss smell of the old-school Skunk. It is a very clean smoke. A Skunky and slightly sweet taste that is pleasantly acidic towards at the end. A mildly relaxing body high that causes a tingling sensation combined with a very pleasant head high.

I turned the autopots on Monday and the plants are really thriving. They are growing super fast and the soil mix seems to be performing well. They have just had pH 6.4 water from the water reservoir. I have tied and bent them twice since Monday but they bouce back so fast. I have also turned in th airdomes , buried at the bottom of the pots this week, so let's see what they can do. Plenty of defoliation to expose lower branches , it always amazes me how quick the removed leaves are replaced by little tops. Day two flower more pictures added. Loads of defoliating this week and tied them all down again yesterday.

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!! Hugs Bud!!! PS. Should you be interested in Shamanism or Teacherplants by anything I mentioned.

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds
