Grow Diary Introduction ​This diary was created with the idea of recycling as much as possible and utilizing every single watt of power to its absolute maximum potential. Honestly, you could call this run a survival experiment. ​Right after harvesting my last grow, I reused the old soil and salvaged the previous Biotabs, which were still fairly intact (you can see photos of this in the germination week). These recycled tabs will be the backbone of the feeding schedule for this run. To reduce the bacterial load, I watered the soil with a water and turmeric mixture—though this probably knocked back the beneficial microbial life in the soil as well. For containers, I’m using some balcony pots with built-in saucers that I found out on the street and repurposed. I started the seeds in 0.25L of fresh substrate mixed with a little bit of mycorrhiza. ​Initially, the plan was to plant one NL and one AB per pot, but one AB failed to germinate, so I left one NL to grow by itself in one of the pots. Each pot has two recycled tabs, and so far, they’ve only been fed a couple of times with Orgatrex at 2ml/L. ​They germinated on April 1st and spent their first 45 days indoors. The first week was a real bottleneck for them, as they were placed inside a tent that was in late flowering, meaning the climate was totally wrong for seedlings. For the remaining 4 weeks, they shared the tent and kept the plants of the new indoor cycle company, staying in there for as long as space would allow. Afterward, I moved them to the veranda windowsill. They are currently kept inside, pushed up a bit tight against the window glass, which keeps them safely away from bad weather and pests.Currently, the plants are only getting about 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Because of this, the buds aren't particularly dense, with the exception of the top colas on the Northern Lights. I'll probably dry and smoke those main apicals, as they turned out surprisingly nice and dense visually, especially considering the rough conditions they went through. The Afghan Bullet (AB), on the other hand, developed much smaller buds, but they are more balanced and greater in number. I'll be throwing the smaller NL buds in with these, making it absolutely perfect material for some top-tier bubble hash. As the master Frenchy Cannoli used to teach, overly dense buds aren't actually the best for washing bubble hash; this looser structure is exactly what you want for a great extraction.

All flowering now starting to really take off the blue dream is flying they all have stayed short bit hoplyy the stetch will give a bit the gorilla melon is in its own tent now to continue veg to fill a 3x3

Not a lot to update the seedlings have came up out the soil at this point they are still to small to tell any visible differences. I started all the seeds from all 10 packs and and I put 26 of them in soil I now have about 20 of them left I still have atleast one left if every strain. I just kept the 20 plants that all started off at the same time it’s so much easier when there is not some plants behind from the rip. In a few days I will pick out the best one from each of the 10 strains and toss the rest so sad there is a plant count here.

Bubble og I still have 4 of these guys going. A few of them are still dark green and pretty decent growers they have thiner leaves. I'm sure a few of these will be on the chopping block later down a few of them just have crappy start growth and they need the humidity at 75% or above 100% the time with the light lower than normal or they start to shrivel up. That's not all of them just a couple. Also I am only going to flower 8 plants out if the 12 seedling and I have 5 strains going so can't have half my plants bubble og (wish I had room to grow the full 12 plants at a time) It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

***** Week 10 growth - February 13 to 19, 2021 - Week 2 Flower ***** Mandarin Mimosa is certainly growing beautifully!!! MM1 has been strong and a taller grower from the start. MM2 however has taken off in stretch.......she is also being grown in a 3gal pot so she will be slightly smaller than MM1. These are 1:1 girls but I am really looking forward to smoking this strain😍👍 The terps should start coming out more over the next couple of weeks, Terpinator being added now as well to assist with aromas. Tips up on these girls almost all day long, they are the happiest in the tent this week😂😂 2nd SCROG layer in now....finally😞 Lots of work to do in cleaning up the lower leaves next week. Will do larger leaf strip and lolipoping when they start focusing more on bud development. Light is at 24” only pulling 310 watt, and the meter at the tops of the girls is roughly 28,500LUX. It is feeling like it’s a little strong for them but it’s close......the curling leaves is slowly increasing on the tops. By the end of the week we are at 400watts and reading 38,500LUX, this should be roughly 980 umol/s/m2.......over 900 and less than 1,000.......should be good for going into week 3. Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 2.....but so-called back a couple of items. Adding some other items beyond IPP line so backing off some of the ppm to compensate. Still only one “feeding” per week. Early flower so hitting the microbes a little harder this week and next and then slowly start backing off. I like Remo’s Natures Candy for sweetener because it has humic, sweetener and old school molasses, amongst other things to feed the microbes as they are in coco. Bud Fusion being used now for pk boost.........no more “red kool-aid”😂 Still adding Rezin from Green Planet becuase it seems to boost my trichome quantity.....Terpinator likely this week as well......increase some of the sulfer to increase aromas. Little more detail....... Feb 13/21 - Day 8 - 3.5L watering with CalMag @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Resin @ 1.5ml Feb 14/21 - Day 9 - 2nd SCROG added today.....finally. Plucked a bunch more leaves in the process - watering with microbes only today. Recharge has some molasses in it so just adding that. - 4L water for these girls with Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal - 320ppm and 6.0pH Feb 15/21 - Day 10 - today is big feed day....its been 7 days. - 3L each girl with all the IPP line as listed plus silica @ 1ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml. (Bud Fusion was 0.2gr/L) - 1325ppm and 6.0pH - Girls gave run off at 3L today so didn’t push past that. Feb 16/21 - Day 11 - some feed left from yesterday so added 6L of plain water to dilute it and watered into the girls tonight. - 3L full feed of nutrients for each girl - 800ppm and 6.1pH Feb 17/21 - Day 12 - 3L each girl with Terpinator and CalMag @ 2ml, Nature’s Candy @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1/2 tsp/gal - 775ppm and 6.1pH - increased light power to 350 watts. Now at 32,500LUX.......take it slow over the next week and keep creeping up. Leaves have a bit of a taco shape coming out and looking fairly serrated at the edges.....pushing the light intensity on the tops👍 - leaf colour on the girls is very good......tips are not burnt either. Feb 18/21 - Day 13 -3L each girl of plain water today - added beneficial bacteria and enzymes @ 1.5ml - 330ppm and 5.9pH - was looking for a little lower pH as I have not been checking runoff. - have to do a leaf strip this weekend......start of week 3. - light power increased again, 400 watts now. Feb 19/21 - Day 14 - day out day.......they have not had one in a bit. - humidity was higher today as door to grow room closed today to assist clones with more humidity. So that takes us through two weeks of flower now. Not knowing these girls enough yet, I suspect feeding will stop at the end of week 6. That leaves four more weeks. I will treat the next two weeks like mid flower for nutes, and the following two weeks as late flower. Feed supplements accordingly. These two girls are very happy and looking like we should get some nice colas from MM1!! They are rocking ETS.......looking forward to seeing the bud swelling next couple of weeks💪👍👊

Day 29: Watered each plant with 0.75L with nuts 1485 ppm, 3150 us/cm, 3.1 EC Day 32: Watered each plant with 0.8L with nuts Day 35: Watered each plant with 0.8L with nuts 1616 ppm, 3438 us/cm, 3.4 EC

LOLLIPOP!!!!

So the objective here is to get to harvest as quickly as possibly - Basically got a cheap humidifier and filled it with ph'd water with very little nutrient. Running this as a Fogponics once the roots starts coming out the net pot and then move to standard dwc with air pump during veg and flower. Let see if this speeds things up

Möge die Macht mit euch sein Growmies! Die Alderaan Cookies Automatic ist ein wunderschöner strain der mittlerweile an einigen Buds rosa / lila Pistillen Fäden auszubilden. Auch der strech war ordentlich sind nach genau 35 Tagen jetzt 61cm Hoch und einen schönen Weihnachtsbaum wuchs dank LST. Es ist ein erdiger Zitrusfrüchte Geruch den sie schon verströmt und neben Buds auch schon Harz entwickelt. Wahrscheinlich bis jetzt eine Augenweide wie ich finde ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

So fast and so strong, really impressive! Everything is going alright here

🔥🔥🔥🔥 en attente de l'explosion florale. Leq branche commence a ce givré d'une couverture de trichome fantastique.

14.10.24 BT# 24 Servus Leute ✌️ Woche 4 der Blüte ist angebrochen und die Pineapple Express riecht immer mehr nach Ananas. Ihre Buds werden immer dicker und bekommen langsam eine Struktur, die Buds sind ziemlich fest (Dicht). Die Farben erinnern auch immer mehr an eine Ananas Barney's Farm hat da ein ganz feinen Strain entwickelt mit einer sehr guten Gentik. Gestern gab es wieder Nährstoffe mit ner Extra Portion Phosphor was sie jetzt dringend braucht. Vielen Dank fürs Vorbeischauen das nächste Update kommt nächste Woche in diesem Sinne bleibt Cool & Stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 💚😍 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 14.10.24 BT# 24 Hi folks ✌️ Week 4 of flowering has begun and Pineapple Express smells more and more like pineapple. Her buds are getting thicker and thicker and slowly getting a structure, the buds are quite firm (dense). The colors also remind more and more of a pineapple. Barney's Farm has developed a very fine strain with very good genetics. Yesterday she was given nutrients again with an extra portion of phosphorus, which she now urgently needs. Thanks for stopping by, the next update will be next week so stay cool & stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 💚😍

Starting week 7 Should be finished around dec 25th 85days

Day 35, start of week 2 in flower, everything is going great so far✌️🏼🌱 Day 37 - All the ladies are looking great✌️🏼🌱 Day 38 - ladies got watered today, looking good & starting to put off a nice smell😍 Day 40 - Still have a lot of yellowing leaves towards the bottom of almost all the plants can’t figure out exactly what’s wrong😅😅

Stretching really well in 2nd week don't think I will veg them too long, maybe another 2-3weeks, been able to top 2 of them so far. I will be topping all of them just the once. Growing slightly quicker than the last barney's seeds I used. All looking very healthy.

6/15 Everything was dry this morning but the bags STILL had some heft. Much lighter though so I decided to water. I didn't realize how cold the hose is so I'll have to usecthe water inside or premix it. I watered everything at least a half gallon. Things are going great. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: IM GLAD I WATERED. ITS 73° OUT AND NICE AND SUNNY. 6/16 Foggy morning has turned into a sunny day! Plants are doing amazing. So glad I watered. I took a shit ton of pictures but they don't seem to be uploading. VERY FRUSTRATING TO TAKE THE TIME TO TAKE PICS AND VIDEO ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT UPLOAD. It's working now. I canceled out after I uploaded everything. Trying to upload again now. EDIT: EVERYTHING IS FIXED. I UPLOADED A BUNCH OF STUFF. PLANTS IN THE BACK AND THE FRONT SEEMED DRY AND LIGHT. I GAVE THE TWO 10'S AT LEAST A HALF GALLON. I GAVE THE THIRTY A GALLON AND SPLIT THE REMAINDER WITH THE 20'S. I MIXED UP 5 GALLONS. EVEN THOUGH THE PLANTS IN THE MIDDLE WERE DRY THEY STILL WERE FAIRLY HEAVY. IT IS SUNNY AND 80° WITH STRONG WIND. I'LL WATER THE OTHERS IF NEEDED BEFORE WE GET SOME RAIN. WE HAVE RAIN IN THE FORECAST SO ILL KEEP AN EYE OUT. IM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE GROWTH IM SEEING. I NEED TO DO SOME MORE LST SOON AND PUT UP A TRELLIS. 6/17 I'm glad I watered those plants. Everything is looking GREAT! I didn't get pictures as I was in a hurry. The 3 plants in tje middle are dry on top bit about as heavy as the others. The wind doesn't go through them like the others. I would've watered but they looked happy and we are supposed to be getting rain. I'll be back over later and re-evaluate. EDIT: I GAVE THE THREE IN THE MIDDLE ABOUT A HALF GALLON EACH. EVERUTHING IS LOOKING FANTASTIC. I LSTED SOME. ITS SUPPOSED TO RAIN TONIGHT AND A LITTLE BIT WITHIN THE DEW DAYS BUT NOT WHAT THEY NEED. IM JUST TRYING TO NOT OVER WATER. IM REALLY HAPPY WITH WHAT IM SEEING. 6/18 It's overcast with showers. Rained hard last night and it's been raining off and on this morning. I probably could've made it without watering the three in the middle but I didn't want to chance it. Plus the rain doesn't add up to much anyway. Plants were soaked this morning. Soaked me just shaking them off. I'll update later. This year has been really good so far. 6/19 Overcast and Maineing out (tiny sprinkles tuat appear intermittently). Plants love it. Apparently I've reached my photo limit. At least that's what the app says. AT least I got SOME of these pictures and the video up. I can't belueve the increase in size both vertically, laterally and width. Branches are long and thick. This rain, sun, rain, sun type weather is creating some monsters. Can't wait to see the result. Still on the fence about light depoing. One thing I DO need to do is put up trellises. It sucks if I can't upload anymore pictures or videos. If I see something great I'll just delete a dfferent picture. 6/20 Not raining but still overcast. 71° at 9:15. Plants are still doing amazing. I've dedoliated some damaged old leaves. I can see some plants have shot a few pistols but I don't think reveg will be a big problem. Some have no signs of reveg. A couple spit out a few three finger leaves but that could be from the environmental stressor. I kept my second mk ultra without topping or fimmed. It's stalk is enormous and just the LEAFLETS are bigger than my wrist. ENORMOUS fan leaves. I think this is going to be a great year. 6/21 It's about 80° and clear skies. Bags are a little warm. They still have some heft to them and it's going to rain tonight with showers tomorrow. Those 10's dry out quick so I split a gallon between the two as they were light as fuck. The rest of the front row was a LITTLE lighter than the rest (the big mk ultra in the 30 looked like it wanted some water) so I gave the other three in the front about a half gallon each. It's noontime. I know it's not the best time for watering but sometimes you need to do things when "you're" able to. Plants are looking amazing. Tried to stick a 10th planet branch under a support buf I took it back out. It wad way to kuchvof an angle and the plants will stretch during flower. I pulled it out and there's still a little bend in the stem but nothing that won't return to normal on its own.

Que pasa familia, de nuevo vemos el avance de nuestras northern light xL, es una genética bastante ramificada, a diferencia de las Lemon, estás si escupen brazos laterales a la altura del central. Flores compactas vemos cómo los productos de advanced nutrients cumplen sus funciones. Es una genética que si pide bastante comida a diferencia de las demás. 50% de maximas en humedad y 28 grados de maxima en la temperatura.

After such a fast and strong germination I was horrified to find that the seedling was wilting. However after leaving it a day and removing the cup that was over it I’m pleased to say that things are back on track. 👍🌱
