12/05/24 Short Facts: Watered: 1 x 2.5L, 1 x 2.4L, 1 x 2.8L, 1 x 2.5 — Total: 10.2L VPD @ 1.4 Light @ 70% (~700 to 950 PPFD) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing special happened this week. The leaves are looking better, so I’m now 100% confident that it was a nitrogen deficiency combined with senescence. The buds are also getting a bit bigger now. Maybe I’ll give her a little more time and harvest her after Christmas. The Blumat Digital Pro Plus is really helpful, making my watering spot-on. Great tool!

Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 6 2/9-15 The Cheese gals are in full flower, the buds are puffing out and stacking. I even see some lower buds connecting to the upper buds and some pistils are turning brown. There is some smell when I open the tent. The F1 genetics are reflected in that these 2 plants are almost identical. I don’t see much difference in their growth so far using the different mediums. Soil and soil/coco blend. Maybe harvest will show a difference in yield from each one. Time will tell. On 2/13 I did major defoliation on my Cheese gals. I removed all large fan leaves and any leaves shading bud sites. Initially, I thought this would be my last defoliation, however I have heard that 1) they continue to grow new leaves until day 20 of flower and 2) there must be enough foliage on the plant to photosynthesize energy. Well, I hope I left enough leaves for energy to keep bulking up the buds. Stretching has slowed down. Both girls grew only an inch and now 17 inches. This is only the end of flower week 2. Controller is set to flower. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line. 2/9 & 11 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and a Dill in the back.

Day 42 week 6 Feed a bonide mixture 2nd time in a week. Pest have gotten worse but trying to manage persistently. Growth seems to be picking up. Added a 2nd mars hydro Cree 128 as I got a new flower light. Trying to get them used to the new lights and a better ppfd range as I was using the wrong measurements for the past year of growing around 75 umol range … surprising yeilds though with knock off lights in those conditions looking back on it. Next grow will be smooth hopefully lol Day 47 Top dressed 444 Gia green 2 tbps Alfalfa meal 1 tbsp Kelp meal 2 tbsp Crab meal 2 tbsp Asomite 1 tsp Gradual humid acid 1 tsp Glacier rock dust 1 tsp 1-1.5 tbsp of em bokashi bran .5 mykos gruanual mycorrhizal fungi Also sprinkled some langbeinite on I’m thinking there’s potassium deficiency in the soil mixture with this long veg and haven’t feed much potassium. Leafs showing some signs of it. Added 1 inch mulch layer of rabbit compost/ wood chips and spread some clover seeds underneath. Finally got my silica in the mail so soaked it all down with 3ml or 3 grams of 1 gallon of water split between each plant sprayed into soil evenly. They are already feed so this way just to get everything started under the new mulch layer. Will spray bonide on plants to continue with any pest issues leftover.

Gave Smurf her 1st feed. There is a little discoloration on one of the leaves, maybe from too much nutrients? She seems a little small going into her 4th week. Had to replant after my dog dig her up @ week 2. Seems like she is a week behind schedule when browsing everyone else’s grow. But she is starting to grow fast, Hope it continues and shoots up soon!

I am giving them nutes twice and then once water. Temperature was going up to 34c and more with tent door closed which I thought is a bit high so I had to run a pipe with exhaust fan in between from window to tent. Temp stays at 30-31 with tent door closed now. Also using a humidifier with a pipe attached to keep it outside the tent and air humidity stays at around 40-50%.

I have had some troubles this week. I have lost quite a few fish (not sure why) I am also showing signs of light burn/nutrient deficiency. I had to put netting around the sides because they grew taller than they should have and started falling over from the weight. The buds are filling out quite well, some of the hairs are starting to turn orange. It wont be long before harvest.

8/9 It didn't rain last night and there is no rain in the forecast so I lightly watered. I actually had a copper fungicide in my hand yesterday but decided against buying it after research saying it burn cannabis. I didn't research enough and I may end up going that route. I may also move the problem plant. We shall see. Instead I treated all plants early this morning with the amazing Dr. Zymes. I'll follow up with another form of treatment and see what happens. All around I can see foliage with septoria. Not around my grow but still. It's in the area. Burdocks, maple trees and other small foliage on the ground. I hate having to make decisions like this. Otherwise plants seem to be doing great. Definitely transitioning to flower. Found moth eggs and damage on inner leaves in the pm. 8/10 No water today as the plants were soaked. It rained last night. 68 at 9am. This morning I defoliated and really got on the inside of my plants. I wanted to see if I could find what was damaging leaves. I found an earwig on a plant. That makes me fairly certain they are responsible for the sporadic damage I'm finding. Lower branches have some small leaves dying and in a couple spots it looks like the ate off a bud site. It was were I would've lollipoped but still. I think another application of Spinosid may be needed. Plants are definitely in flower with the dreamcatcher's leading the bunch with small little buds formed. Flowering seems much later than the strains I grew last year. I need to go in the cage at night with some kind of light to see what's going on then. pH meter wouldn't read. 8/11 It had rained earlier but it's been so hot that the plants needed water. I watered but not thoroughly as pots weren't completely dried out. I didn't see any earwigs. I was prepared this time with a spray bottle with dawn. That is supposably supposed to kill them on contact. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to test it. I did find a jpn beetle this morning. I believe they may be responsibly for some of the damage I've noticed. I had a very early appointment this morning so I didn't get a chance to take any pictures or a chance to feed. Plants are definitely flowering. The seedling (I say seedling only because the others are clones) in the 50 gallon pot hasn't been watered as much and I'm not sure if I have been watering enough. I figured the rain would help but I noticed that the soil is very compressed and appeared dry before watering. I also had no idea how much the nutrients effect the pH of the water after added. I have the drops I use to measure pH but that's basically impossibly with big bloom murking the water all up. Also I don't think the plant I was going to cull has leaf septoria. I think it's just been ravaged by pests and has white powder mildew. I will continue to monitor. Temps are supposed to be very high the next few days. 8/12 Fed two gallons to the garden today. Used tiger bloom as I think it plays better. I'll use the Kool bloom though. I do need to say my plants were much further along by now last year. Different strains though. Added a pinch of pH up but it appears the pH is fine after mixing my nutes. Rained AGAIN last night. All this rain brings the earwigs out to climb plants. I included a picture of the damage. I need to do another app of Spinosid it appears. Then alternate with a spray treating the wpm that I see. It's a bad year for mildew. UPDATE 90 degrees out at 2pm. Defoliated the dead spots inside and looked to see what kind and how much damage from ear wigs. It's all minor but still. A few lower branches (bottom that probably should've been clipped) have shoots that are damaged. At spots it appears the earwigs lollipopped the stem. Nothing up high or middle though. Buds are developing and they (luckily) haven't gotten there. I've tried a few things already but today I put petroleum jelly on all my stocks and supports so hopefully those little bastards can't get up to the plant. If the rain laid off it would probably be better. Not a single aphid though and no signs of typical cannabis pests so I guess it's a little give and take. Made a video but will have to upload later. 8/13 Didn't water this morning. A storm came through at 6pm last night. Torrential rain and high winds but no damage. Found more moth eggs and two spots where leaves were rolled up with webbing and inch worms emerged when opened. Other growers suggested the damage could be from inch worms so I think before I do much else I'll apply BT tonight.today is going to be even hotter than yesterday. 85 at 9:30. Will update as I progressed. Added a video. 8/14 Watered this morning as it's been dreadfully hot. In the 90s with super high humidity. Found another leaf with moth eggs and a inch worm crawling on a bud. I did a treatment of BT this morning that I hope will take care of things. Plants look amazing. Walking down to the cage I get hit in the face with a pungent skunky smell. Plants are huge and seem to be flowering more everyday. Strange the amount of difference I notice in just a days time. 8/15 No water today as it rained yesterday off and on and soil was damp. Plants are flowering nice with dreamcatcher in the lead and ice cream cake bringing up the rear. Everyday the little buds seem a little bigger. I will probably need to do another application of BT since it rained yesterday. Still finding some lower branches stripped of new growth shoots where a bud site should be. I don't know if inch worms are capable of this or whether it's earwigs. I WILL find out though. I'll go out LATE tonight and look with a flashlight and spray bottle. Smell is incredible. As long as we have a nice September and a warm fall this is going to be a good year. It got down to like 50 last night but it was 90 yesterday. These plants are resilient to take temp changes like that without it phasing them.

Slight Changes in nutes: Current feeding FloraMicro 4ml gal FloraBloom 8ml gal SM-90 2.5ml gal Cannazym 2.5ml Gal Ful-Potential 2.5ml gal Liquid Koolbloom 2.5ml gal Floralicious Plus 1ml gal ArmorSI 1ml gal CaliMagic 2.5ml gal FloraNectar 5ml gal Drip Clean 0.4ml gal 9/6/17 A couple VERY LARGE buds tipped over and i didn't notice immediately. I found them and i think i staked them back to health in time, no noticeable damage, more blindsided while realizing the volume and coming to grips with the next step. the reality of the bounty of my garden is dawning on me, and i am a bit intimidated. by the dry, as i am in low RH. by the cure, as i have never done one before. by killing my girls, as they are lovely to ease my anxiety, i ordered 20 hydrometers and increased my jar count from 36 quart jars by adding a dozen 1/2 gallon jars. it is obvious some of the buds need bigger jars to stay intact during the cure. i skipped the boveda packs for now. they are amazon prime away in an emergency, but i figure my attentiveness will be enough, at least this first grow; plenty of people did it right before me without the boveda packs, and when i can pay less per hydrometer than boveda pack... it becomes an interesting decision. i choose old school... for now (mind subject to change) end game is WAY more intimidating than dropping that seed into that cup of water. no one told me it would be this stressful! i hope i do them well during this next phase and these next few weeks. they certainly appear to have done me well 9/7/17 I have a confession to make. When I thought the plants got stunted by the heat, I considered pulling the plants and starting over. Boy an I glad that I didn't. I didn't know what I didn't know. What stopped me was reading a forum post somewhere and a guy was frustrated with his grow and was thinking of pulling it (i think he only had 1 plant). Someone responded to him with very prolific questions. "And then what? Plant another and make the same mistake again? Why don't you finish her out so on your next grow you know better what not to do?" Bingo. He wasn't even talking to me, but he was speaking directly at my situation (or so I thought). I decided to finish them, even if they were stunted dwarfs (SPOILER ALERT: They aren't, I was wrong, they were anything BUT stunted) I am really glad I found that advice because who knows if I would have went through with it if this gentleman hadn't given me a moment of clarity. So if you are frustrated by your first grow, I would advise to finish the grow no matter what (unless, obviously, its a male or moldy or something that DEMANDS the plant be culled) and learn what to do better for next time. I thought mine were gonna be bonzai plants. Not even considering the money wasted and the time wasted, I would have missed out on what the plants have taught me and a tent full of superstars. Now, as I am approaching the end, I need some advice. Aside from trics, is there any other way to determine approx how long left in the grow? I need to change my nutes to end stage stuff (adding dry koolbloom, phasing out unneeded nutes, and finally the flush. ) I am super worried about getting the timing right. Besides trics, are there any other clear signals that we are rounding the corner to the final stretch? Thanks in advance. Also, I live in a dry environment. A desert, actually. For real. It seems like dry trimming will be very important for me if I do not want it to smell like alfalfa after the cure. Any thoughts on dry trimming? I know it is more work, but the results seem better. My plan, so far, is to hang the entire plant upside down in 1 piece to dry. The only question is, how many of the large fan leaves to leave on. Some leave all, some leave only the small ones in the buds. Any thoughts will help me decide along with my other research. Thanks!

Day 72, 21st of November 2020: Hi! Wao this is what I can say and luckily stoppe streching.... All LST has been removed as the plants remain the same so no need to keep them in "chains". Those Original Sensible girls 3 of them (Gelato, Runtz Gum, Do-Si-Dos OG)went crazy, except Black Ghost OG she did not strech much typical little indica lady. And the THC crystals alrady on the leaves on the Runtz Gum and Do-Si-Dos OG just simply beautiful. Buds are coming getting thick they are gorgeous only I can see some some sort of deficiency on Do-Si-Dos OG a bit on some leaves. The fertilization schedula isnthe same every 2nd day and happens with the mix and ratio above. Wedding Gelato is beautiful also I hope the nice purple colour will come out as well in late flowering stage. :) The lamp is on 11.30 min and off 12.30 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -30 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.30 pm.

Hello Growers & Tokers! The route to having a jungle starts with the roots! That's why my main goal in those first 14-21 days is developing the root system. I like to give them time to expand the roots which is very important for a healthy plant. That also gives them more time to get bigger and stronger before going into flower. More growth, more bud sites, more buds. Trust me the wait is worth the reward. We'll be seeing some truly sweet and zenzational flowers. This week they got transplanted to their final pot, 11L fabric pots. It's one step closer to getting that jungle, zenzational! Medium used was Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. Let the mycorrhizae do its job and take over the soil, then the roots just follow. Take care out there and happy growing!
