I put the plants into an NFT system couple weeks ago. I could have waited a bit longer for the plants to develop a stronger root system before placing the rockwool cubes into NFT but I was being impatient because of the slow start and wanted to get the plants under proper light. Now two weeks later they are growing well with good root development. I switched the lights to flowering cycle about a week ago so they should start stretching soon. No preflowers yet.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/11/2019 - Struggling with high humidity, change led strip color from red,green,blue to red and green. 1/12/2019 - Checked and adjusted the light distance. 2/12/2019 - Pot feels light and dry, gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 with a 1/4 of recommended Biobizz nuts, notice almost no run off. 3/12/2019 - Finally her first pistil appeared on the main stem I was starting to get worried.

Day 33: What an amazing height and bud gain in just 3 days! Lady #1 is 67 cm tall now, her sister a tad smaller. Both still have a great color, and I dared to cur away just the lowest branches and leaves that do not look like they could gain height in time. Really enjoying this strain so far! At the end of their day, they are a bit dropping leaves, so clearly no hunger for more light. The impressive growth speed continued on their buds: Tallest lady at 70 cm now. Their next morning shows growth is still at an impressive 5 cm/day as lady #1 with her leaves erected again stretches now 72, the maximum of my previous growth. Pulled the lights as close as possible to the ceiling and hope they won’t make it much more than 1 m. I activated the Sansi 30 W folded wings LED to give them somewhat of a morning and evening light and to add some more light to their overlapping center branches in the middle of "their" day. Sadly that’s causing some interference to the timelapse videos, but I can’t say they’re perfect if it wouldn’t. Watching the timelapse video of day 34, I have the feeling the additional light rather irritates them. Maybe the interference is not only visible for electronic eyes. I’ll keep it off next day for comparisons. Day 35 shows stretch speed has reduced indeed and they seem to be concentrating on leaf and bud growth instead. 75 cm, so we are currently at "only" 3 cm/day. Watered them with a HPE/Bud growth mix again last night, about 1 l each. Well, forget my words about reduced growth. After they recovered during the night, we are at 77 cm for lady #1. Which measured at 78 with hanging leaves in their day’s evening. I must have missed a day number – day 36 concludes their 5th week. I gave them another 2 l of fertilised water each and will lave them for the weekend again. Video shows that growth concentrates now more on leaf and bud development than on gaining height. So I guess my 160 cm tent will be sufficient. For a moment I was worried, but it looks like stretch is over. Anyway, time to rearrange the camera next week. Leaves are running out of focus.

One didn't get hit enough water from the sprinkler so it got stunted hard and had to go, the plan was to only do 2 this run so all good, I used this one in a breeding experiment and it recovered very well despite the conditions, but this is not part of this diary. Starting this week I will also add ORP and CF metrics, the ORP probe is not calibrated and values are to be taken with a grain of salt. Values are average of the day.

5/10 Week 7 beginning 2cd full week of Flower Making note of that due to extensive tricone building going on with the sugar leaves, very early for this. Due to Metal Halide I suspect. Going to reduce the Nitrogen by cutting back on Bloom A/B to 10ml/gal and retaining a small dose of 1-1.5ml/gal of the PK. I would be ending the PK here but want to try this for this strain only. Will be doing some training on Athena the evening and working on the canopy. 5/11 Trained down tall branch on Athena bringing her canopy level. New nuet levels HID to 300 watts just trying to make em happy. lot of light in that tent and we are learning. The question of potency when flowering under the UV of a Metal Halide bulb is answered as far as I am concerned, got tricones 2/3 the way down spreader leaves on the second week of flower. Damn 5/12 Dropped HID lights 2 inches as they are set to 300 watts and light stress has ended. Just looking for the sweet spot. Raised Sally's pot three inches for canopy. Switching PK boosters, going to the Soul Peak for a while to see if there is any difference to the plants. The Peak is more of an organic though it has salts in it so the dose is higher. Light defoliation Pretty sure this is how things will play out, Athena will be ready first along with Sally at about week 9 or 10, looking like 9. Baba is as much as a week behind Athena in Flower so looking at week 10-11. Jane (The Twin) is going to be interesting that little plant is determined to be all she can be now hitting 9 inches in height so week ? . May actually have to train this girl lol PM update Lowered the PK to 3ml/gal running low and who knows when I can get more. 5/13 Nuets- Gave a one time dose of Fish Sh!T - 3ml/gal Leaving lights as is for now. Jane is getting interesting, in pre-flower and may be doing a stretch she is hitting 10 inches and must be trained. New ground here for sure Major clean up and train Jane at lights on tonight. 5/14 After talking to my wife concerning her grow we are making accommodations to switch the Light to HPS for a while tonight. They need some red light 5/15 Too much to do today leaving everything as is till tomorrow 5/16 Ending the week and leaving things as is, changing that light now would so negatively impact my wife's plant(which we need and badly) going to take the hit on the LSD-25 yeild and stay with the MH bulb until Cleo goes into flower. Cannot believe how thick and widespread the trics have become under the MH bulb. Slightly increased the PK booster

Day: 9 I'm considering replacing a cpl of these with different seeds. They are already behind schedule-1 OG Kush and the Gorilla Girl. Any tips varigation on leaves? I just gave them there first feeding of Big Buds and Blooms (N5) after the 24 hour Superthrive wait period. Both Superthrive and NPPK were used at 1/4th the strength called for on the lable. Nighty Night girls. Going to bed wet is not ideal but they needed a full watering bad..hoping I didn't over water (purified water) Some of the soil just does not seem to get wet in these pots. weak leggy blackberry kush has some wind tonite. Hoping to boost stem strength. they are trying to fall over from the weight. Day 10: made little stakes from coated wire. Repositioned the Gorilla Girl for a third time. You can see that part of the stem looks white from being underground. Still gonna give it a little more time. Otherwise, all are seemingly fine after first feeding. Day 11: applied SuperThrive and my Gorilla Girl turned yellow for a few hours. Glad she is resilient!!! Day 12 thru 20. So my PH meter was wrong and I have been watering with 9+ water for the first 2 weeks. i had 2 ph meters in case this happened but one is for soil...new grower mistake. So...I've lost precious time on my aotos and my gorilla girl is ...lord help meh..she don't look too good. All are alive in spite of my noobness. I'll post some pics that should have a disclaimer stating this is not what your plants should look like at 20 days in. Also had to transplant into non-waxlined pots. This is not the best experience to show publicly but new growers can maybe learn from my mistakes.

She seems to be doing a lot better since the foliar spray last week. Leaves are a dark green now and the stalks are more malleable due to the silica. Did another Silica foliar spray this week as well. 12 gal of water and it is supposed to rain on them today. Fingers crossed!

Hello Growmies, As the 12th week dawns on our garden, we've witnessed the culmination of a journey that has been as challenging as it has been rewarding. Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrid #1, my personal favorite, has dazzled us with a mesmerizing fade, displaying a resilience that sets her apart. Her reaction to repotting was a testament to her robust genetics; however, this serves as a learning curve. From now on, our auto-flowering beauties will start life in their forever homes, eliminating any undue stress in their crucial growth phases. Meanwhile, Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids #2 and #3, though they've faded beautifully, suggest that an additional week could have further honed their splendor. It's a subtle reminder that each plant scripts its own path to maturity, some etching their tales with swift, vibrant strokes, others preferring a leisurely pace to full bloom. With heartfelt gratitude, we extend our thanks to Zamnesia and especially Patricia for the exceptional seeds that have graced our tent. These final snapshots capture the last living moments of these plants before they transitioned to the drying tent, a rite of passage into their next phase of existence. As the Watermelon Candy trio embarks on their afterlife journey, the Red Banana Pudding and Epic Buzz inherit the tent's legacy. With more space to flourish, they promise to carry on the tradition of growth and excellence we cherish. Cultivation is an endless cycle of birth, growth, and rebirth. Today we celebrate both an ending and a beginning, the harvest's closure, and the promise of new growth. It's a cycle that keeps us grounded and yet always reaching for the next level of growth. Stay lifted, Salokin

This started out as a pain in the ass to grow because I was expecting a light promised to me by a company I wont name that was never followed thru with and I ended up having to pay out of pocket for it. Luckily I was able to move one of my other fixtures from my other tent for bloom so they could finish up strong. This strain has potential to be great like this plant but also has the potential to end up like my first attempt at it so I gave it 9/10 stars. If every one came out like this one it would be a 11/10. Great daytime smoke, finished up relatively quickly considering its size. Only negatives were the smell isnt as strong as I thought it would be based off the end of flower but in the grand scheme of things is not a big deal it still smells it's just subtle. I cant help but wonder if it would have been even bigger and better if I had enough light to give it the first 6 weeks. The autopots were run from around week 4 to 7 until I disconnected and started hand feeding so I could use thicker nutes with the organics like the pbp and nirvana. 11021
