Vegetation Phase - Week 4 The Donutz ladies are cruising through Week 4 in style, with no major changes to their routine. Simplicity is the key: just consistent care, reverse osmosis water, and keeping the vibes steady in the tent. Growth is strong and steady, with no signs of stress or issues. Updates & Maintenance: Watering: Still exclusively using RO water. No overwatering, just light and consistent hydration as needed. Lollipopping: The plants got a little cleanup this week. Lower growth was trimmed back again, keeping the stems neat and focusing energy on the upper canopy. This helps maintain that signature Sea of Green look and primes the plants for fat main colas later. Observations: The plants are uniform, healthy, and stacking nicely. Each one is starting to show its individual character, but they’re all working toward that tight SOG canopy. MarienkƤfer buddy is still around, keeping the ecosystem in balance. No pest issues, no drama. Next Steps: It’s all about staying steady and letting the Donutz do their thing. The lollipopping ensures the plants are focused on upward growth, and the stable environment in the tent is creating the perfect conditions for success. Week 5 is around the corner, and everything’s looking set for these plants to keep stacking up!

Now she is in floweing stage and I amended the nutrient schedule accordingly. She is nicely streching vertically and it’s safe to say everything is going better than what I anticipated a few weeks ago.

this is the end guys, I last watered with much colder water,I could have harvested one in as little as a week, but I waited for the others to come to an end.very stinky tribe.don't grow it without a carbon filter, unfortunately it didn't completely catch the odors for me either.and there is a new carbon filter in both tents.so pay close attention.!they didn't require a lot of nutrients at all, I followed what I could learn about feeding here, water water feed water water ..the plants produced flowers of much the same size, one of which is a little different.I’m going to harvest it all tomorrow, we’ll wait for it to dry out, and then I’ll report on its weight and impact. the plants vegetated for 4 weeks anyway and flowered for 8 weeks. thank you for everything everyone did throughout my work and lectures. <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">šŸ’¤</font></font>

So here it is, the final week before harvest. I've been tested by my equipment but managed to handle everything thrown at me. The dehumidifier breaking 2 weeks ago was definitely the scariest moment! The size and smell of these is ludicrous, I reckon it'll be a bumper harvest!

09 May 2021 Today starts the 15th week of my grow, and the 6th week of flower. Just over a month till the scheduled harvest, and today the nutrient amounts change according to my feeding chart. So today feeding went like this: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. Today we aren’t using any of the FloraGro, and won’t be for the rest of the grow. I chilled the water again, but not as long this time and the temperature of the solution was 56.3 degrees F. I thought it odd that the website doesn’t allow for entries lower than 50 degrees in that block, but oh well. The initial pH was 5.89, and I added pH UP 2.5ml which adjusted the pH to 6.53. The runoff pH was 5.63. Lower than I want, but still within range for a healthy plant. Temperature in the tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was at 53%. The plant looks great, and is maturing quite nicely. 11 May 2021 Today was a busy day! My DarkStar Kush is doing very well! The smell is starting to get stronger and the buds are fattening up as well. I’ve noticed some mild nutrient burn on some of my leaf tips, but nothing terrible. I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure that they don’t get worse. I haven’t really made any adjustments to the nutrients lately with the exception of increasing the FloraBloom by 2.5ml’s, and stopped using the FloraGro in accordance with my feed chart. Feeding today went as follows: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom at 15ml. The initial pH was 5.85, so I added 3ml of pH UP to increase the pH to 6.52. The runoff pH was 5.65. I finally received my TDS meter today, so the TDS reading was 1070 ppm. My feed chart says that the ppm range in looking for is 1050-1400 ppm, so 1070 puts me in that range. I chilled the water again today, and it was 46 degrees F. The temperature in the grow tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. So far so good, and I’m starting two new diaries today for some clones I was gifted by Buddabud, so check them out. 13 May 2021 Just when I thought I was on cruise control with my baby here, she throws me a slow curve. The question is; will I hit it, or miss it? The light nutrient burn that I noticed in my last entry on the 11th has gotten just a small tad worse, but nothing terrible. I believe it’s not from the feeding, but the build up of nutrients in the soil. I finally got my TDS monitor as I noted the other day, so I tested the ppm in the runoff and it was over 4000. Then, as I was shaking the excess water off the end, the end cap for the battery came off and the whole monitor plunged back into the water completely submerging for a moment before I could get a hand free to grab it. It’s been sitting in a bowl of rice since yesterday. I just hope it dries out and keeps working. I need to see what the TDS of the soil at this stage is supposed to be and then either keep going and damn the burn, or maybe feed with pH’ed plain water for a feeding or two and then see how it reacts. I’m still deciding, but will research first before making my decision. For today I kept to the feed chart. I gave the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 5.92, so I added 2.5ml of pH UP which raised the pH to 6.47. That is what I fed the plant. The TDS reading of the feed solution was 1036 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.63. Tent temperature was 79 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. I have just about 4 weeks left in this grow till the scheduled harvest. 15 May 2021 Today is the last day of the 6th week of flower, and I’m going to try and arrest my mild nutrient burn on my baby. I’ve decided to just give water and CALiMAGic today properly pH’ed to see if it does anything to improve the situation. I wanted to have a significant amount of runoff today so I fed 1.5 gallons of water with 7.5ml of CALiMAGic. The initial pH was 7.60, but adding the pH DOWN is much different than adding pH UP! I initially added just 0.5ml to the gallon of water which lowered the pH from 7.60 to 4.9. I was like, ā€œDAMN!ā€ 😳 so I had to pour it all out and start over again. I learned through research never to mix pH UP and DOWN in the same solution. If it’s wrong, you need to start over;!so I did. After 3 tries and lots of wasted CALiMAGic, I finally got it right by only adding 5 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to get it to 6.64. The TDS meter dried out and still works, so the TDS going in was only 403ppm. Like I said, I wanted a lot of runoff to try and clear out some of the nutrient buildup in the soil. The runoff pH was 5.58, and runoff TDS was 3803 ppm. Daytime temp was high today at 86 degrees F, and humidity was 31%. She looks good. She smells good. I hope she stays good! A few weeks left till harvest!

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest! #DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made as well as MIIM Miicrobial Mass. These are also beneficial to the root mass however they are bacteria based and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco. https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/DYNOMYCO_Show_Us_What_You_Got I was going to use my own clones I made from the g13 labs grows I just finished but released I had used a Dynomyco in the medium when I was rooting them for a extra strong start. So to fix this little error I went out and purchased two Cherry Pie clones from a local grey market dispensary. I joked Dynomyco will cover the cost and yet to hear back from them lol. I have inoculated one clones rootball and the transplant medium with Dynomyco, the other clone and its medium got no Dynomyco. The Dynomyco Clone is on the left in photos, it's also the only pot with a mini glass thermometer. I did this exact thing in my Dr Seeds Granddaddy Purple Diary vs 60day wonder. I don't expect it to count as an entry but more of a 2nd side by side on two different strains. GDP vs 60DW. Hopefully I will get some stickers in my package and can label the pots as such. I used my own personal stash of Dynomyco as I have not been shipped the contest materials yet but the clones where good to go an I wanted to get this beast on the way. The plants will be grown outdoors and transplanted at min 2 times max 3 times. Nursery pot to 1Gal, "this weekly entry" 1Gal to 2Gal, "3-4 weeks away" and finally 2Gal to 3Gal maybe. "6-8 weeks away" This week 1 entry is the first transplant from nursery pot to 1Gal, I have sheltered them inside for the first few days as we got heavy rainfalls and I did not what that to be to much of a shock for them, they are in my Spider Farmer tent under 24/0 lighting with the SF1000 @60%, they should be good to make their way outside tomorrow if the weathers good. I have noticed I have a lot of outside light interference on my balcony with all the safety lights in the surrounding areas buildings. I am going to try and LST these plants to keep them low and below my balconies wall to avoid excess light pollution. about 3 feet high.

🌿 **Green-O-Matic Grow Week 9 Update: Nearing Harvest Time!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exciting update on the progress of our Green-O-Matic journey as we reach Week 9 of the grow cycle. With anticipation building and buds swelling, let's dive into the latest developments: 🌟 **Bountiful Bud Development**: At Week 9, our Green-O-Matic beauties are truly showing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production kicking into high gear. The once-small flowers have transformed into dense, frosty nuggets, promising a bountiful harvest in the near future. Trichome production is in full swing, indicating peak cannabinoid potency and aromatic complexity. šŸ“ **Final Stretch of Growth**: As we enter the final stretch of the flowering phase, our focus shifts to maximizing bud development while ensuring optimal ripening conditions. With careful attention to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we aim to create the perfect microclimate for our plants to thrive and reach their full potential. šŸƒ **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: As expected in the late flowering stage, some leaves may begin to exhibit signs of senescence as the plant reallocates energy towards bud production. This natural process is perfectly normal and serves as a signal that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient management strategy remains vigilant, providing the essential elements needed to support robust flowering without risking nutrient imbalances or deficiencies. šŸ” **Monitoring Trichome Maturity**: With harvest on the horizon, we're keeping a close eye on trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using a jeweler's loupe or digital microscope, we inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of THC and CBD levels, as well as flavor and aroma profiles. šŸŒž **Preparing for Harvest**: As we prepare for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering supplies such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a clean and sanitized workspace to maintain the integrity of our precious buds. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to preserve terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In conclusion, Week 9 marks a pivotal moment in our Green-O-Matic grow journey, where patience and precision culminate in the imminent harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the next update as we celebrate the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation with a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready to be enjoyed and shared. Happy growing! 🌿✨ 🚫 **Addendum: Phenotype Bin Update** 🌱 In the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement, it's important to note that we've made the decision to bin one out of the three phenotypes due to poor development. Despite our best efforts and meticulous care, this particular phenotype failed to thrive and did not meet our quality standards. While it's always disappointing to part ways with a plant, this decision ensures that our resources and attention remain focused on nurturing the strongest and healthiest phenotypes to their fullest potential. By removing underperforming individuals, we can redirect our efforts towards optimizing the remaining plants for a successful harvest. Rest assured, this adjustment will not deter us from our commitment to excellence. We remain dedicated to the cultivation process, learning from each experience, and striving for the highest standards of quality and consistency in our cannabis cultivation journey. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate the complexities of plant development and refinement. Together, we'll continue to grow and evolve towards greater success in our cultivation endeavors. šŸŒæšŸ’Ŗ

Welcome back to my Strawberry Cheesecake Diary, by Seedsman. We have now finished up week 5, the first week of bloom or flower, and it was a very productive week for this young lady! As you can see she doubled in size! We also did a light defoliation, mainly her fan leaves, as to let more light get through to those lower flower sites. I have to say, I'm very impressed with this autoflower! I love her structure, her growth is perfect and she's going to have a nice build for those buds from what I see. Well, thanks for stopping by. See ya next week!
