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!

Week 2 update all 4 plants 15 days old. So the video is one day ahead of the pics. The only thing that really happened this week was blue dream #4 laid over and I did decide to support her back upright. I actually gave them their first pump spray watering tonight with just plain 6.5ph water. As u can see in pic blue dream 1 is already not happy with the heavier watering but a day or two and she will perk back up. Next go will be a feeding so next update we will be back in the good stuff!! Ready to get these ladies rockin!!🤟 Well till next week thanks 4 stopping by growmies. Best of luck and Happy Growing!!😎🌱💚💪💪

So everything took off in flower, I was super harsh with the defoliating which initially I regretted, but was surprised with how they packed out during the following weeks. In general it's impressive how hardy these plants are. Even the outdoor grows yielded some quality. Add some more nuets (overdrive and carbo load), before flushing about 14 days before harvest, next time I'll do this earlier and really the Runtz could have gone another week but my drying needs to happen in the same space as my growing for now. Apologies for the quality of image, I'm just using my phone and some bits I have to document, I collect records too, so expect weird noises lol. Build a rotating plat from a lazt susan I found, has been the best piece of kit added this season.

17/8/2024 As the weekend starts so does the extra training. It's time to put the net on top and fill in the rest of the colas. The temperature is really high outside and she is on 80w. I hope it will get cooler soon and I'll be able to slowly crank to 100w.

22 Aug 2021 Today I’m starting to give some nutrients to assist my ladies in their development. I have been using plain pH’ed water to use the nutrients in the soil before giving anything extra. My girls are looking bleached out and weak. Maybe trying to reduce the nutrients by using the soil for the first week or so in their new homes isn’t paying off. I was hoping to see them flourish, but they aren’t. Growing is all about trial and error, and I’m hoping that my error isn’t going to hurt them in the long run! I’m starting the “Late Growth, stage 4” on my Flora-Trio 6 part feeding chart, but in the beginning I’m going to give them only half of the recommended amount to hopefully prevent any nutrient burn that they might experience. If there are no negative impacts seen, then I’ll adjust the amount as necessary. Today I’m giving them a half gallon of water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 3.8ml, FloraGro 4.5ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml, and Floralicious Plus 1ml. The initial pH was as follows: C1 - 6.4, C2 - 6.3, C3 - 6.3. I did not need to adjust it, so I didn’t. The TDS going in was: C1 - 636 ppm, C2 - 634 ppm, C3 - 653 ppm. I was originally planning on giving each plant a gallon of water, but I received enough runoff after only half a gallon. I guess they still haven’t developed an extensive root system enough to require the additional water. It just made it to where I don’t have to worry about making more to give them in a couple of days. The runoff pH and TDS were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 498 ppm; C2 - pH 6.0, TDS 562 ppm; C3 - pH 5.7, TDS 707 ppm. It’s always funny to see how plants in the same type of soil, and given nearly the same solution still have such varying pH and TDS runoff levels. 🤷‍♂️ That’s all I have to say. It’s a mystery, but not an overly important one as long as they’re healthy. The heat in the tent today was somewhat warm, but not as bad as it has been lately. The temperature was 81F, and the humidity was 56%. I’m hopeful that adding nutrients today will improve their color and get them to start developing their branches some more so I can flip them to flower in a little bit. We’ll have to see how it goes. 25 Aug 2021 Today I gave my ladies the second half of the gallon that I prepared a few days ago. They received the first half gallon on the 22nd, so I’m not going to repeat everything here again. To see what they were given read the note above. I am going to note the runoff levels and the temperature and humidity because they are important to note. Runoff was as follows: C1 - pH 6.0, TDS 610 ppm C2 - pH 6.1, TDS 546 ppm C3 - pH 6.0, TDS 765 ppm Again, it just weird seeing plants with different pH and TDS levels when they’re given nearly the exact same solution. 🤷‍♂️ The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity 62%. Overall, my little ladies are looking better since starting the nutrients. They no longer look bleached out, and the green is returning to her leaves quite well. I decided to measure them today as well to document their growth. C1 is now 16 inches tall, and C2 is 15 inches, and C3 is 16 inches. C1 and C2’s lights were adjusted to be 19 inches away, and C3’s light is at 18 inches to keep the light canopy level. The difference in the light and size is due to the size of the pot C3 is in. She stands taller because her pot is half a gallon larger, but also because the pot has small legs on which it stands on so it sits higher. They’re looking better, so that’s all that I care about in reality. Good luck, and happy growing everyone!!

Empecé el lavado de raíces. Pise sólo agua con ph regulado en 5.8 y voy cambiando todo el depósito todos los días. La idea sería terninar la semana con la misma EC de entrada que de salida. Las Tropicana terminar decepcionando en cantidad, ya que no engordaron. Pero si están muy llenas de teicomas. La Polaris en camvio engordaron y vienen muy bien. Imagino que tomarán un par de días más. Pero no creo que demasiado. Hice una defolicación muy fuerte. Ya incluso manicurado casi.

Well, we already know she's a grower. Check the difference in the pictures, first ones are the beginning of the week and last ones end of the week. They're definitely comfortable, I can notice the roots taking over the soil and the leaves are branching out which is great to see. Next week they'll be transplanted to final 11L fabric pots. Happy Growing!

There is some yellowing on a couple plants on the leaves right above the base of the plant. I broke a branch in lady 1 , Alil yellowing on the a couple plants from the soil being Alil to hot. But the rest of them are perfect . Only issue with 2 of them and it’s my fault. These ladies have been rocking strong. Update soon. Peace out
