First off, I hope all who visit this journal watch the timelapse. I'm very happy with how it turned out. The GSC is in the foreground. Comparing the beginning to the end shows just how dramatically my plant has grown in the past week. This plant now has a photo-period neighbor! I have changed the light schedule back to 18-6 to accommodate. Her chronicles will be in a separate journal. Towards the end of week two, I noticed the leaves were forming brown spots that I took as a sign of calcium deficiency. To treat this, I used a gallon of (hard) tap water, adding calcium to the reservoir. Luckily this seems to have done the trick! The spots have been absent on all subsequent leaf growth. Sometime in the middle of this week, I had to re balance the pH from ~7 to ~6. Perhaps this pH fluctuation came from the tap water transfusion. In an effort to raise the RH in the tent, I've repetitively spilled a small amount of water on the floor of the tent. Doing this keeps the RH around 45-50%. I've made some other small changes to my grow setup as shown in the pictures. Prior to this week, I'd thought my plant was hopelessly behind developmentally compared to other user's because I'd compare their week two plants to mine. Luckily, this week has seen some growth! It's crazy how fast they shoot off after their first three-fingered leaves form. The first "real" set of leaves to grow in (not three-fingered yet), seemed to take forever to grow into their full size while not much else (besides the roots) seemed to grow. This week's three-pointed leaves have practically fully formed already. Alongside them, are the beginnings of yet more leaves! I'm not certain what I will do this next week. I may start LSTing this plant, though I'm not sure when exactly I should do this. My original plan for my plants was to implement a screen of green using a trellis. I have sense realized this may not be the best approach while using a DWC, because water changed would be made much more difficult. Have any of you DWC growers experiment with this? Is it worthwhile? I will likely not replace the water for another week, though that's not set in stone. I appreciate any advise regarding the training techniques I mentioned, water switch outs and anything else that may be relevant to this grow. I will more than likely ask a few designated questions. To those who take the time to answer, thank you!

Just trying to decide on purchasing terpinator or rock resinator?? I have a few weeks left of flower and would love to take them to the next level-though the only thing I think that needs to improve is the size of the buds

Finishing up from the looks of the trichomes and the breeders recommended time (+/- 56 days) they will be coming down soon! Still supplementing 2 hrs of UVB mid day, stopped nutrients and began flushing with flawless finish. They are looking so delicious and smelling very sweet and tropical, its scent radiates everywhere in the house from the basement to the second floor!! Also I recently remembered I never put on the carbon filter back since last grow smfh which is why it smells so strong outside.

Had a small issue this week where temp dropped a bit, I was on vacation for a few days and a window got left open to the room the tent is in. The room got down to 62f with the lights on. lights off temp wasn't much cooler. I noticed some canoeing on leaves near the center of the room, I am hoping this was just caused by the temperature stress that happened by the sudden drop. I fixed the temp and issue and it should be back to normal. Trichome's look great under microscope. Getting tightly packed and very cloudy, very little amber color at this point. Cheese #1 Has swelled up quite a bit over the last 5 days, The buds on it are noticeably larger than the ones on Cheese #2 I have moved the led light to cast more on cheese #2 in hopes to get the buds on it to catch up to #1 Still dealing with small calcium deficiencies, I will do a light flush this week of 1/2 strength nutrients and Cal at 6.5 Mid Weekupdate: Flushed plants with 1/3rd nutrient dose and full strength cal mag. Adjusted ph. to 6.5 to allow for better uptake of calcium. The calcium issue isnt bad just some small spotting but I am trying to get ahead of it as there is supposed to be 4 weeks left on the strain. The buds have started to tighten and get more dense. Hairs are about 40% red, some are receding into the bud. Smells like citrus.

It's been two weeks since i started using the UAP 1500 light, and the results are definitely showing! The 'Peyton' papaya seems to love it. The leaves have this amazing vibrant green, and the whole plant looks so healthy and strong. Papaya 'Peyton' is really thriving! The leaves are absolutely gorgeous, so full and plump, giving the plant a lush, healthy look. I'm really impressed with the structure – it's short and stocky, which is quite unique, and the nodes are nice and tight, promising good growth. It's clear this plant is getting the perfect care. The vibrant green color of the leaves and the overall compact shape make it a standout.

Starting to see some real good growth. Everyone is looking real gree. I think next week calls for a session of LST. Still only using water with BioTabs. Not issues. Tenet is pretty hot at 27C and dry at 27%rh... Ruff but it's what I got

This strain was only topped in early veg and trained a little bit with LST. After 5 weeks of veg i removed the LST cords and just let her go and what a bush she was, very fat dense heads everywhere, bottom buds also rockhard. I used no boosters just organic nutrients from start to finish in pure coco

Two 27 gallon RDWC system, was initially for two plants but after issues with germination and this seed sprouting exceptionally fast, I decided to commit to this one. Two 1000 watt LEDs, one Bloom/Veg switch, one full spectrum with brightness knob. Have third that is bloom/veg switch 600w to put in middle over reservoir when growing two. 8" net pots to allow more spaced out root system in such a big container with 4 air stones. 1110GPH air pump, with 4 air stones to each tote, 70GPH water pump. Initially top fed, until roots are developed enough.

Great week. Plants are growing really fast. Huge difference in size compared to last week. Starting to see signs of purple already. If all goes well they should look nice.

Week 2 began very routine so far I have only watered with pH adjusted water and no nutrients yet. But looking to do a 1/4 strength feeding the next time I water. 10/26/2018 - Catzilla damaged 3 plants!!! I left the tent open for 5mins to get some water and by the time I was back the damage had been done. I am hoping they will still pull through. Any suggestion on what I can do to help save them??? Ironically the culprit appears to be my cat called Poison.... 10/28/2018 - 1/4 Strength of Nutes 3gallons (11355ml) - 6ml Micro/12ml Bloom/3.75mlCaliMagic 10/30/2018 Two days into first feeding. Plants seem to be pulling through and look good "Disco" still has some discolouration in the leaves, still unsure what is causing it. 10/31/2018 - Final day of week 2 Lots of growth since giving them nutes. On to week 3!

The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #11 Week #2 of flowering, is the week where you’re going to raise your lights every other day, stretch has been triggered after 1 week of 12/12 light period. This is why the ScrOG technic is one of the best if you don’t want to finish into the lights or to grow an army of plants with a short Veg to make a SOG. Always keep in mind to follow the 2 main goals, fill up all the light coverage (spreading light on the floor is a waste of energy and money) and not finishing into the lights (which is a good growers problem, but your buds are cooking and all the terpenes are burning...) Once again, stick to your Veg nootz, do not switch to Bloom nootz, your plants needs Nitrogen during this phase of the growth. Switching too early will lead to a "die back" situation around week 4 of flowering where your plants will turn yellow from the bottom to the top ... This is where, after feeding/or/watering, I like to look at them moving with the airflow, when the canopy is full it makes like a wave of leaves moving back and forth with the fans (speed fans at the lowest setting, Cannabis doesn’t like windy conditions, it’s just to move the air between the leaves). Stay tuned folks, next is the "Week #3 trimming", where we are going to clean the legs and cut some side shoots to avoid popcorns and fluffy buds and learn to make big dense donkey dick buds 😄 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

I fill a reservoir with 25 liters rainwater Then i add 10ml ph up Then i add 25ml calmag Then i add 30grams drypart bloom This way the ph is perfect and the plants have all they need. This scedule also works for soil, just add 15ml ph up instead of 10. *if my kids ever need help with growing and im gone: The scedule above is what i use from start to finish on all my plants, autoflowers and photoperiods (ofcourse half strength first 2 weeks)

Well that was a special day, it always make me sad in a way, but this time, I enjoyed the moment a lot. As I wrote in a reply to a comment, things can always be better, and they are with good decisions at the right time. These are the smallest and the biggesr plant, one seed didn't germenated and that's why I had to put a Red Gorilla. Not sure I will try a main mlinning on auto flowering strains any more.... but I think I did it wrong, first I took the one that seemed less strong for the experiment, and having 2 other plants to compete for lights. FIM is definetly a technique I will reuse if needed. It's so nice to have these genetic contrasts, colors, aromas, shapes. Many thanks for all the help you gave, precious. 19/04/2024 lower popcorn buds seems dried already! But still branches don't crack on bends. Will check again on Monday. I finally have received, lately a portable microscope, will be more ususeful next year! But this confirms that lower buds might have need more maturity but did the choice to not over complicate by harvesting in 2 times, my indoor tent is also my drying tent, and I wouldn't have any other place to dry the upper buds separetly while allowing the remaining to harvvest with more maturity. In general I think I might have began the Final part too early. BTW, we smoked the popcorn bud, and it's very promissing, we liked it.

I found this seed in bud that I harvested from my Barney's Liberty Haze plant. It was grown in my grow room and you can see my GrowDiary log of that plant. I am not sure exactly how I ended up with seeds... maybe there was light or temperature stress which resulted in a herm. In any case, I decided to grow this seed as a fun experiment. I didn't even know if the seed would germinate... but it grew just FINE. I didn't top it, or give it any special treatment. I guess you could say she grew 'native' or 'au natural.' I have never grown outside before, but I had space in the garden, and the seedling looked healthy, so I hardened her off and popped her into the dirt. She ended up going into a huge monster of a plant. Standing over 9 feet tall I had to laugh out loud each time I climbed the ladder to inspect her top cola LOL. I had so much fun growing this plant. I called her Majestic Haze (we live on Majestic Drive) because I'm not sure if Barney's would want me calling her Liberty Haze. I can't verify the genetics for sure :) I wonder how plant breeders handle those kinds of things??... This bud is fun for parties and conversation. It starts out with an energetic vibe and then settles into a relaxed chill stoned feeling. We vaped our dried bud, and then we tried some of our hand rolled hash... then we settled in for the night. Woke up a sit high still LOL but it's Saturday and we don't need to go anywhere so it's all good LOL... This one is the bud of choice for house parties and silly Netflix watching. PS if you haven't see The Good Place... you need to get stoned and watch it. The total dried weight of bud from this plant was just under one pound @ 310g and we also ended up with around 120 g of frosty trim. We also rolled up about a gram of hash which has some serious kick :)

Estamos en la última semana para dos de las cuatro variedades, así que a partir de este momento, eliminamos Bio Flores. Añadiremos al bidón de riego Canna Flush, que nos va a ayudar a lavar bien nuestras raíces, eliminando restos de sales y nutrientes. Buscamos que las plantas gasten sus reservas de las hojas, que poco a poco veremos como pierden verdor, eliminando clorofila, sobre todo las más bajas. Canna Flush - 20ml por cada 10 litros de agua. Bajamos la potencia de nuestros balastros a 600w.
