11/17 started flushing. Giving a half gallon of plain well water daily. Ph is typically around 7.3 to 7.6 My absolute favorite plant. The beautiful purple is so exciting. The plant grew very fast and very large, i would suggest leaving ample room for this plant. All the buds are large. Just a joy to grow.

She's still growing up and producing new leaves and her flowers are getting bigger too. I'm really worried though, because some of her leaves are turning yellow and shows burn signs. I thought it was because of the hot weather, but her leaves should have been all bent down (this is what I read on the internet). Since the plant is overall healthy, I hope it's nothing to worry about.. I found out that it also might be caused by a potassium deficiency, so I'll try and give her some. All been said, I'm still really happy with the results and I love how she's doing

Day 56-63 (Day 5F-12F) (Day 6) Water retention is still a big issue in this soil, even with the reduced amendments, loose compaction and added perlite. Pots just aren’t drying out fast enough and I still need to water in enough to reach the bottom. I wish I had some flood trays for this exact reason so I could bottom water instead. (Day 9) I’m going to try running 2 liters of water through each pot until I see a good amount of runoff on each plant. Maybe the nutrient content of the soil is just too high. If this doesn’t work, I got nothing. Plants are drooping like crazy but that’s not surprising as I just flooded them. I’m going to turn on the carbon filter to clear out the humidity a lot faster. Over the next few days I’m going to let the filter suck the life out of this tent until it’s bone dry. If I start seeing deficiencies arise from my minor flush, I will foliar feed some 1-1-1 kelp and some 3-0-0 calmag. I highly doubt I will see any deficiencies but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead. (Day 11) Ladies responded well to that heavy watering which is a little surprising honestly. The pots are still soaked and super heavy but they seem to be happy. (Day 12) I’m really not seeing any well defined bud sites which is not a good sign at this point. I have never grown under HPS and have never flowered a true 10 week strain so it could just take a little longer in early flower. So far I’m unimpressed

First week under my new DIY led panel. Had to move the fan above the led because the light was too far away from the plants. That's why the humidity has risen a bit, but I guess it's still okay. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▌My setup: ▌Growbox: Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 ▌Lights: Selfmade 184W LED Panel w/ Samsung Q-Series Strips ▌Ventilation: Ventilution Mixed In-Line 145/187m³/h ▌Fan: Taifun FT-18 oscillating fan ▌Heating fan: Trotec TFC 1 E ▌Substrate: 50% BioBizz All-Mix & 50% Perlite (& BioTabs Starterbox) ▌Nutrients: BioTabs Starterbox & tapwater ▌Irrigation: AutoPot 4Pot System ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

October 1, 2021: Looks like I overwatered a bit last weekend. Still trying to get used to these SIP Pots. I'll probably switch to a SIP system using 5 gallon buckets in the near future. I like the concept of SIP systems so I purchased these pots. But I don't like that these pots still require top dress watering instead of filling the reservoir at the bottom directly. On to the ladies... Fast Buds Blackberry- She jumped in height and started pushing out bud sites this week. She's up to 13" tall, which is kinda short, but she has very tightly packed node spacing and is very bushy. Or she was very bushy before I did some defoliation. I did a light defoliation on her this week mainly so I could see what I was doing when giving her a LST bend. I like to bend plants over at a 45 degree angle I find this allows the lower branches to have better access to the lighting and produce better buds all around. Dinafem Critical+- She grew about an inch this week and is up to 20" now. I did some heavy defoliation on her, I got a little carried away once I got started. She is still showing signs of nutrient burn and is also telling me she was overwatered (see above). However the bud sites look great! So I'm not too worried at this point. I also posted a few pics of the plant I grew outdoors this summer. I just cut her down yesterday. I had to harvest a week or two early because we get very damp and cool falls here in New England. I've been going out every morning to shake the moisture off her and look her over closely. Yesterday I found 2 small patches of bud rot on 2 of the larger colas. I cut the bud rot out first, then chopped her down and brought her in for hang drying. I'll be doing another close inspection once she's dried out to make sure there is no bud rot on the remaining buds. Cya next week!

420 Fastbuds Week 1 Gorilla Punch Auto What up what up grow fam. So our first weekly veg update is an awesome one with the girls maturing great. Drip system is working like a dream. They have definitely doubled in size and probably grown 2in or so. Showing good color of green with no present issues. I'll do my weekly preventive maintenance and go from there. All in all Happy Growing.

Well what can I say... added a used LED light to the grow that I got for a good price as energy prices are quite high and getting more expensive. Going to upgrade the ventilation system as well, having the box in my bedroom is just unbearable with the current ventilation. High humidity at night above 60% causes me a headache, I am trying to reduce it as much as possible - hope the new system is gonna work better. Plants have a variety of issues, also I believe that they don't grow as fast as they should. Any help/comment appreciated!

Piante sane, stretch energico ma cerco di tenerle sotto la rete, temperatura un po’ alta ma sto già risolvendo per abbassarla. Iniziano a spuntare i primi pistilli e a formarsi i primi calici

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil to be top dressed. Day 1 we had high temperature of 89°F. We had scattered thunderstorms and roughly two hours of rain. No watering today Day 2 we had a high temperature of 80°F. The skies were partly cloudy with a healthy breeze. I water 2-2.5 gallons today. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 79 and partly cloudy skies. This cooler weather has been nice. I watered 2-3 gallons each pot once. Day 4 we had high temperature of 92°F. I watered 3-4 gallons from the hose. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 85°F. Skies were cloudy to overcast with off and on rain until noon. Then partly cloudy in the afternoon. I added 50ml of blood meal and 50ml of iron spread evenly across the tops of the pots. Watering done by rain today. The roots have begun to grow out of the soil on top and down through the pots into the ground. Day 6 we had a high temperature of 86°F, a short rain shower, with cloudy to partly cloudy skies. Watering done today by the rain. Day 7 we had high temperature of 81°F skies were cloudy to partly cloudy. We had some intermittent heavy rain so everyone was watered by nature today. This week was a success.bthe plants topped out at 70" of height. They've begun to feed heavy, so I added blood meal and iron. Next week I'll add some plant tone and coop poop. I defolated the #2 plant as it was getting super bushy. I've not shaped these as much as they need so they don't have a great shape. I'll work on getting them spread out next week.

7/19 Rained all last night. Weather report says it will be rainy for several days. I "suited up" did some slight defoliation and fed two gallons to the garden. Still need to apply BT and get inside and prune with clippers. I'm hesitant due to this huge rash but I need to find a way to do this. Plants look good just need to be cleaned up. 7/20 No water as it's been pretty rainy. Thunderstorms tonight and rain tomorrow. I'll have to wait to apply either Spinosid or BT (as a preventative). I took down the tarps on the back. The wind isn't bad. Usually it's like a wind tunnel but I think this was the right decision. They are still attached at the bottom so the cam go back up quick if high winds come. Considering top dressing with cow manure. It's what I have on hand. I also need to find time to defoliate inside the plants. I'll have to do it when it's wet I guess to avoid the moths. I saw nests at my girlfriend's house on a bunch of apple trees so maybe I got this rash there. I hope so. 7/21 I watered despite some of the soil being damp. It MIGHT rain today but even if it does it wouldn't REALLY give my plants the water they are used to. I also cut some branches inside the plants. I have a lot more to do though. I found a brown-tail moth caterpillar crawling on the soil of one of those buckets outside my cage. Leaving his little poisonous hairs behind. I killed it with fire. I'll update after I spray and/or prune. Humidity is 98% today 70 degrees at 9am. "I'm going to need a bigger boat." 7/22 I put the tarps back up after finding the tall unsupported plant looked all blown over. I removed it from the cage. It's a 30 gallon tote so it opened up my area a little more. I watered this morning as it's supposed to be a nice sunny hot day. Later I plan to LST that seedling that I just left in the 30 gallon tote and kinda neglected. At least I didn't show it the love I had the clones. It's in reveg as well (the only one) and I'm questioning whether it might have a better home elsewhere. I'll check it out when I go for my evening inspection. Looks like possible thunderstorms tonight so I don't know if spraying is feasible. Thank you to all who have been following and helping me on this journey. Much cooler than it has been 65 degrees at 10:30am. 7/23 Watered this morning. I also did some defoliation and pruned lower limbs. I need a night without rain so I can continue with my IPM. I see pillar damage so it will probably be BT that I use. I weed Wacked around the cage this morning and was planning to feed but I ran out of time. The girls will have to wait until tomorrow to eat. The garden looks very healthy as a whole. Slight issues here and there but nothing an outdoor grower wouldn't expect. It's been a great year for growing cannabis thus far! I'll do another video once I get the cage weed Wacked. 7/24 Watered slightly before I Fed two gallons to the garden. Still have leaves turning yellow and falling off but I think its normal. At least the same thing happened the last two years right around this time. Plants have EXPLODED in growth and look great. The stretch is real. I took a minute video that might or might not upload. Took a few pictures too. Internet is pretty slow so I'll probably have to upload pics tomm. Reached the 80s today. Nice and sunny. Oh and walking down to the garden is like getting punched in the face by a skunk lol. The smell is incredible. 7/25 No water as it is supposed to rain today and they drank pretty good yesterday. Still need to defoliate a bit. A few of the seedlings are reveging. That's ok though. I hate seeing leaves die but looking at my previous diary (and the paper one before that) it seems to happen the same time of year right when the stretch starts. For the most part the garden is in preflower so I may start the next week as flower. I also STILL need to spray preventative. I don't really have a problem (besides slight pm and a few random critters but hey it's outdoors) but I need to keep up with the IPM. Im super happy with progress this far.
