Sorry lovelies, I've been a bit lazy with my diary the last few days. This is probably due to the brilliant effect of Dark & Big Devil 😈, which slowly reach their full potency through exact curing. Incredibly pleasant feelings, all day long. I'm super chilled, stimulated, but not tired for the time being.
But now I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer and talk a little bit about the care last days, with my "Long-Life-Automatic" ;-))
Sour Jealousy.
A few days ago, my relatively new oscillating ProFan started to rattle. After all, it always got stuck in one place. So I went to get another oscillating fan (RAM) for my new home box.
In the process, I developed a new ventilation strategy. The ProFan can't turn anymore, but at least it's wonderfully straight! ;-) so in the future he will aerate the plants around the 20 l fabric pots in a well-circulating manner. Since the new Home Box has a height of 2.20 m, there may even be one more fan in the grow space.
What I want to say is the following:
I have now implemented this idea in the 80 box for a few days and the plant reacts excellently. The only important thing is that the draught indirectly envelops the root area. I have the impression that it works even more efficiently, like a machine.
Also, I really have to say that I've never experienced such a voracious sativa phenotype before. Namely, one that literally eats the hair off my head. 🤣
The harvest of the two Sweet Seeds seems like a long time ago.
I didn't expect such a long "overtime" either. However, I am happy to have received so much new input. You never stop learning.
I assume that it will take about 2 weeks from now on, until the harvest. Again, she takes her time. Incredible. So many white hairs more. She now greases the grapes nicely, just a sativa monster! 👺
And eats and eats and eats. The colas are fully stocked from bottom to top and the scent almost robs me of the little sanity I have left. 🤣
The diameter of the main stem is 4.5 cm. Absolute record so far.
I have also bought new supply air systems, and a Flexi-Tray as a protective pan for the Home Box. I even managed to get hold of fixture poles to be able to use the Home Box more efficiently.
Among other things, I have significantly improved the recirculating air situation. I think every ambitious grower should think twice about this: the convection!
An important topic, in my opinion.
In my case, this means one in the root area, one oscillating on the leaf roof and one at lamp height to distribute the heat better.
I also let the compost tea ferment for almost 40 hours and each time half an hour before pouring, a level teaspoon of Bactrex was added - with full aeration.
Thus, the soil life literally explodes and works...!
And I combine it with the Bio PK Booster from Biotabs. I like the combination of both. I use the PK Booster in a slightly lighter dosage than indicated. Because my tea version, I think, hits quite a bit every time.
After all, it says:
“Stop feeding your plants, start feeding your soil.”
Organic farming - my passion to grow!
Soon I will redeem my darling... Looks very juicy!
Maybe tomorrow sun again until Monday and from Monday morning 48 hours of absolute darkness with full circulating air and exhaust air circulation.
I think you can't use a HS 80 more efficiently. I'm enjoying the last few days with my good old Secret Jardin HS 80.
It offered me excellent quality and quantity. The material was disproportionately well processed at the price level. Only the corners I reinforced with self-adhesive aluminum foil.
And what I find so cool about my Hydro Shoot is and was: It’s ideal for bedroom cultivation.
But it's really time for a technology change. I'm looking forward to my first run in the new cream-colored Home Box Q 100 +
… the end is approaching.
🤪
I wish everyone a peaceful Christmas season, much joy and peace in Your hearts.
And all the happiness in the world.
Take care & Bee🐝 positive

Nov/21
She grew like crazy.
Big green fan leaves coming in.
Branches are growing strong.
Smell is starting to get intoxicating.
i finally got over my habit of nervous watering
and am feeding the girls way less and they're happy.
Cant wait to flip this girl to flower.
No problems this week at all.
11/29
Shes growing ok. Green and healthy branches and leaves.
She growing more like a sativa, sativa hybrid
tall and branchy, manageable fan leaves
but because of that she started to get some light burn.
Dont have my tent yet so i cant adjust my light any higher so i tried
to lower the plant down a little
So hoping she can do without super direct light for another day or so.
Other than that shes looking healthy.
(some of this is the same as White Widow diary)
11/30
It wouldn't let me do veg and flower in the same week
on the diary so i just split it up in here.
Two busy days.
Tent came i!! which im super excited about
because now i flip the girls to flower.
It wouldnt let me do veg and flower in the same week
on the diary so i just split it up in here.
I spent tuesday putting the tent together
and dropped a video of the new setup because
im REALLY excited about.
got the ladies nice and cozy. Started them on 12/12.
Its my first time on an indoor grow so i hope it works out well
Shes super healthy. Super green leaves are big
stems are thick
everything is a lovely dark green
i can smell it more because theyre tented now.
but it looks great.
12/1
topped dressed with some happy frog soil
I couldnt add the castings amount in the thing above
So ill say i mixed about a quarter of the amount of soil
into about 1 to 2 gallons of top soil
i had some down to earth
dry amendments i mixed in with that soil as well.
i couldnt tell how much soil exactly.
I only put in 5 tsp of great white instead of the recommended 7
because i switched the bloom nutes and i didnt wanna over do it
i couldnt tell how much soil exactly.
Fed them some flowering nutes, but cut back
on the amount of nutes by a lot.
Decided im going to just follow what biobizz instructions
say from now on so apparently less is better.
started the bloom and the top max kept everything else the same
and cut out the fish mix for flower, added great white at the end.
Defoliated the bottom few branches and cleaned any growth at wasnt going to produce.
Nothing to major.
12/2
Temp of tent is steady at 70, 71 degrees.
thats a little bit lower than id like but ill
figure out something in the next few days.
Took the bottom branches and leaves the night before and
Wanted to give it a night of rest before i defoliated the big leaves.
Took most of them off but left the few at the top of the plant.
Looking extremely green. Hoping i get to see some pistils soon.

Most ladies are showing signs of flowering so today I will start counting the weeks.
Here u can also see my mutant/special ladies. They germinated a bit different from the others.
Day 3 of flower is showing some major progress‼️🙌🏽
I did NOT top any of these mutated plants. I only removed some very ugly growing leaves.
So everything u see on them is done by mother nature.

Today is day 32 of bud for these ladies. They are are swelling up good and put on a lot of resin. I’m very excited for this harvest. That’s because these ladies each have there own person Tropic smell to them. The OG is kinda orange cream soda terps. The melato almost has a coconut terp profile to it. And the Trainwreck smells like some kind of wild berry. So I’m definitely glad I got clones form each of these so I can run them again next round. Except for the OG. I have them their last feeding in week 4 on around day 29. I just did a top dress of bio live and rose and flower by down to earth. Anyways thanks for checking out the garden. Make sure to go to my page and check out my other grow journals.🤙

👊😺 We're officially in flower! All plants are showing signs of being well on their way....its weird that some of the Gelat OG have grown so much larger than others despite the exact media and feeding regiment .. We noticed a few deficiency spots (pretty sure calcium) starting on the one plant
which is furthest along in flower, we gave all plants 3ml/gal of calmag with the last watering and set our PH to 6., i think the plants are eating better after adjusting PH at least their color reflects it (the light and my camera really wash the color out in some photos) but they're still not as dark as I'd
like, maybe a light grass green at the moment...we're going to try going up a few ml/g with their feed ...im always really apprehensive about feeding autoflowers, im so rough with my photoperiods that autos are really a learning curve lol and iv'e overdone it in the past ...The MarsHydro however is
doing amazing! we can tell already she's going to make us some stellar bud..we have so many future plans after this..a SOG type grow in the 4x2 with the SP-3000 would be a blast! Not much more to report on, we'll update again midweek thanks for reading if you made it to the end and happy

😽💨 the girls seem to be coming along, buds and bud sites forming fast..their color is looking much better after increasing their N supplement (GrowBig) a few days ago..we have terrible luck with indoor autoflowers (like really, really bad luck) but these haven't given us many problems ..and this is despite the fact we cooked them daily for about 2 weeks 😬... live and learn lol 😹 we'll still get some great bud out of the deal ❤️ ...thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!

Everything is going good happy with the progress, I flipped the lights about 5 days ago and put another net up yesterday just to see the stretch progress, I started to use bio bloom and bio topmax with feeds.
Hopefully I start to see some little buds forming. 😃

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.

The plant seem to have reach its highest peak of THC and I'm just waiting for other plant in my garden to catch up can't wait to try this one smell very strong and the plants are very large beautiful plant has a lot of purple colour showing through the flowers can't wait to harvest this one .
As a interesting note those buds seem to be very sensitive to foxtailing with the light to close to it.
thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

all nutrients are in ger section. so i would say this should be the last few days befor going into flower phase. cant wait to see the coulour change on the leaves.
