We are almost at week 6 of flowering. I had to move these girls to a smaller tent. I gifted one of my 4x4's to a friend in exchange for his 3x3. They are crammed in, but they will do fine. They are starting to put on some good color and weight. I had to prop the Pineapple Upside Down Cake up with bamboo sticks. The Strawberry Cheesecake smells delicious. I could eat it. This is my first plant that really smells fruity. It keeps changing. Today it smells like fruit loops.

Chimera Cut from Anesia Seeds has grown to 44 cm and looks fantastic!

Haven't updated in a while as I haven't had much time to do so will update this all soon when I can ✌️❤️

Hay Mates, sorry for my very late update - here i am again, with a huge diarie rounding off. i will fullfill some months since the 13 Week of Grow by giving you much photos and clips. - Well i think it is not needed to talk to much about Condition changes within the last Weeks, because we are talking about a potless Outdoor Grow, where the Conditions could be change day for day, things like pH value couldnt be accuracy. Thats my thinking. - Like i previously said: I've worked with LST and HST to try to increase the vitality and hold them "small". So lets go ! - Best Wishes Organically » tried and true, since simple is the best !

UPDATED ENTRY DAY 64-THE CULL:They have finally finished. After waiting very patiently and thinking this would go on forever, these fruity little beauties are done. I have now put them into the dark for 36 hours before I chop them and hang them for a low and slow dry ( approx 10 days at below 19°c and rh 50%) . I haven't used the Harvest option as I want to be able to complete the information correctly without going back and using edits. They have been a brilliant strain to try for my 1st ever auto run and I will definitely be on my list again if I do another. Their small stature and finish time are better suited to a more natural grow and mild lst for lights penetration i.m.o . I am looking forward to seeing their final yield as they feel rock solid on the big stemmed girls. Will do a full report once I have a final harvest to add. peace and live folks , see you on here in about 2 weeks total. 63: I thought these would be finished at this point but from close up inspection with my loupe , we still have mostly clear trichs in the house. Their overall look is amazing. opening the ten teach day and seeing them standing proud with their beautiful colours is a blessing. I love this strain for appearance and if it smoke like it looks , I will be a happy life long fan. #1 Is feeling nice and tacky when i touch her but also has a greasy feel too. she smells amazing of sweetness and definitely berry. Her size wont break any records but if I grew them again I would leave them to grow their normal height as #3 is. #2 is the nicest looking for size of them all and has me just staring at it when I get the chance. They are so close to the end now and it is killing me waiting.!!! #3 Is the girl left to grow after her very pale start and veg period sonos the tallest structure wise .She doesnt have weighty buds like her sisters but certainly looks good now. I think it is their last week now for sure.

This was my second time with blue dream, I think she is a keeper. This was my first time using the Terpinator. It does make quite a difference👏🏻 The buds were so frosty I felt like they were begging to be used in something so i made gummies, and glad I did. Wynonna is right behind her and I plan on trying my luck with Moon Rocks. She put on a bit of frost thanks to the Terpinator so I have high hopes- pretty high period 👍🏼😀 Growing your own is such a great thing 👍🏼 GrROWDIARIES is such a 🆒 site and the little bit of contact that I’ve had has been so pleasant😀 As soon as I get comfortable (know what the fuk I’m doing) I will take advantage of more 🆒shit the GD community has to offer

Hallo Freunde des grünen Daumens 😉✌️👋 Auto Candy von Divine Seeds ist 56 Tage Alt! Sie schnuppert wirklich fast wie Zuckerwatte! Streckt steil ihre Blätter nach oben und produziert tolle buds mit einer schönen Zuckerschicht! Kann nur noch Geiler werden

7/28/19 --Super happy to see the plants doing this well. Ive found that every other day feeding is the best for these specific plants. Im a big proponent of only watering the plant when it signals it is ready for watering. The least possible amount of induced stress for these plants is the goal for me. Cheese seemed to be totally unaware of the FIM that was done on it, as it showed not even 1 sign of stress post FIM. Cream cookies is another story, she's quite sensitive to absolutely everything--including watering. I am super happy to see that the last fan leave on the 5th node has 9 leaves--a really good sign that the plant is doing extremely well. The more leave nodes on each leave the healthier than plant. There are zero signs of nutrient burn at all. It was difficult at first to see if the slight bending of the leaves was due to nutrient burn, but I later figured out that the leaves were pressing against the side of their pot and as a result bending--wasnt nutrient burn. Ive been varying the pH widely each week--with the attempt to be as random as possible. I want to make as many nutrients available to the plant as absolutely possible. I really am loving the Advanced Nutrients Sensi line. Im growing in coco but I bought the nutrient mix not designed for coco with the understanding there might be some potassium issues down the road. But otherwise as a chemist by profession, when I heard about the pH perfect line I was rightly skeptical. It will balance your solution to the correct pH range (5.6-6) IF you start with dead neutral pH 7.00±0.05 water with no dissolved salts (distilled water). the distilled water I've been buying (from Walmart) clocks in on the pH meter at around 7.6-8.6 which will cause the pH perfect technology to neutralize some of the dissolved ionic species and bring the pH well below safe range for cannabis. Ive found that if you pH the distilled water to 7.00--add your Ca/Mg/Fe, THEN add the pH perfect technology the range will be much more suitable. It was kind of annoying since my pH down is so much more concentrated than my pH up. Me problems I know but still annoying. --One of my amazing collages at work is going to water both babies today with Week 4 nutrient solution even though we are technically in week 5. My vacation has prevented me from mixing the solution to feed. --This vacation has brought so many new automation ideas to coco coir growing. Ive been developing a hypothesis that involves what I call the "level of droop age" and its correlation to plant thirst. It began when I was growing in soil and needed a better way of telling when to feed the plants instead of a fixed schedule, which seemed to be giving way too much water to the plants. ---Ive developed a "droop scale" which can be directly correlated to plant thirst. Ive also found that very happy plants that do not want water will go through a natural droop cycle as night approaches. I take this as the plants time to grow out its root system (happens at night). By the morning the leaves are pointing up in what I call "leaves up loving life" ---So the scale I've developed is kind of arbitrary but it does a really good job imo if you become very familiar with your plants. ---The scale ranges from -10 (the most droop in the leaves every observed) to +10 (the most extreme leaves up loving life ever observed). the scale is out of 10 not 20. ---lets say that you watered your plants today, and their leaves were at a -7/10 droop (what when I water my plants). If you water them you should observe no increase in droop--in other words after watering the droop should only improve not regress. If the droop increases after watering your plants wanted a little more time before their feed--so alter your droop scale until you find the level of droop that when feed causes only an increase in the droop. 6 hours after watering you plant droop should be >+1/10. The next day you should see your plants at least at +5/10 droop. ---Merging this scale with automation is going to be difficult as ill have to use an open source machine learning AI to learn when the plants droop is sufficient enough to justify a watering. I hope to set up the system to be automated or manually operated over the cloud. ---Using a Raspberry pi and an Arduino as well as a whole set of motor control boards and sensor boards I hope to put together an integrated system that can detect when the leave droop reaches critical levels using a camera, and feed accordingly. Ive been all over the internet and all automated grow projects rely on soil moisture sensors which only penetrate <4 inches into the substrate. This doesn't cut it for me as the root ball of the plant is way below that 4 inches of the sensor, yielding readings which only pertain to the top layer of soil, which just so happens to dry out the fastest. ---Im going to keep my grows at 2 plants each from no on--and I plan to make an automated system for both plants which can control watering to both plants individually. Im currently trying to figure out the best way to track volume of water dispensed. A flow meter with a know diameter tubing and a known diaphragm pump rate seems to introduce all sorts of inaccuracies into the mix. I think im going to design an automated measuring system that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor coupled with a camera and AI to fill up a the hopper to the desired volume of nutrient solution. ---I have all the hardware listed but im a complete dumbass when it comes to coding. My profession is chemistry, coding goes right over my head. I have an immense respect for coders as I honestly have no idea how you guys do it. Its like learning 15 different languages at once and using them all together. Blows my the ability of our society. The wide range of skills. Love it. ---If anybody would like to help me code this project it would be greatly appreciated. 7/30/19 -Cream Cookies is doing extremely well. FIM was a great idea. 4 new main cola sites came out of the FIM which im very happy about. The undergrowth also has caught up to the canopy. the canopy has a plethora of bud sites. Defoliation done to increase light to bottom branches. Largest fan leaves towards the canopy removed. FIM'ed leaves that opened up also trimmed, allowing more light to penetrate to those small bud sites. --Ive counted sites where main colas can form. Very happy with this HST I decided to do. --LST done and branches separated from each other so they can receive ample light. Thinking of adding supplementary 40W flowering bulbs for flowering. -Cheese FIM didn't work as intended but it did break the symmetry of the plant. One of the first branches has grown higher than the canopy and I had to tie it down using LST. Did some defoliation and going to do some LST later. --Some light stress spots on Cheese, makes sense since I wasn't physically at my apartment to raise the lamp. Before raising the lamp the plants were 14 inches from the light which is way too close. The closest it should be is 17 inches. Raised the lamp to 18 inches and spots are subsiding. --Being overly cautious ive increased the dose of Ca/Mg/Fe to 4 mL/gal incase spots are actually a Ca/Mg/Fe deficiency from explosive growth. 7/31/19 -Cream Cookies is showing beautiful pre flowers. Still recovering from light stress. Looks very similar to nutrient burn but only present in tip most growth suggesting light burn. 14 inches was way too close-vacation problems lmfao -defoliation done on both cheese and cream cookies to expose bud sites -LST done on both cheese and cream cookies to bring bud sites into the light -both plants fed 400 mL Week 5 nutrient solution-when I mix next weeks nutrient solution im going to reduce the concentration to 12mL/gal w/ 3mL/gal Ca/Mg/Fe. --I want to precent any nutrient burn plus plants are slightly stressed from defoliation and light burn from my vacation. -lamp raised to 19 inches to help aid in stress relief -plants are responding in a weird way to the watering. Not in a bad way-but in a different way--larger lower leaves are not drooping like in the past its just the much newer growth is drooping. Makes sense since newer growth has less developed support system. Makes me feel much better about my watering schedule. --Clawing which I suspected was due to light stress is getting better-especially after a feeding. 8/1/19 --Calcium deficiency just barely showing on midlevel fan leaves. Good thing calcium is a mobile nutrient. Going to readjust the nutrient solution ph to be 6.2-6.3. Been accidentally locking out calcium. --Defoliation done on both plants to expose more bud sites and to thin out the thick canopy so light can penetrate below. The hope is to defoliate correctly. If done right I won't have to lollipop. --Cheese has no preflowers yet--still in veg --Cream cookies looks like it started flowering. 2 preflowers were spotted earlier in the week. Surprised to see how fast the plant moved into flowering. Going to be feeding it with flower nutrients starting week 6. --Going to continue feeding cheese with veg solution until preflowers are observed.

We're at the end of week 4 and she doesn't seem to have triggered flowering yet. Fortunately this is giving me time to fill up her canopy. Seedstockers claim she's an XXL plant and I hope to test that.

Week 10

Hey now, I hope everyone is having a great weekend, it was a good week for the ladies in the 5X5, they are all starting to stack flowers and really starting to distinguish their own smells. The Bubble Runtz has the most indica dominant looking colas and smells absolutely amazing. The Sundae Driver is looking like she is gonna have the fattest colas and be the biggest producer. I am really hoping I get the red phenotype of the Red Hot Cookies, and both the Green Crack and Durban Nights are showing the most Sativa characteristics and looking great. I now have the Medic Grow Light cranked up to 100% in F1 mode and am also using the UV/IR for 30 minutes per day prior to lights out. I am running a 12/12 cycle and feeding the same mix of GH nutrients which include Silica, CalMag, MaxiBloom, and Bloom Booster, with additional food grade Hydrogen Peroxide in the reservoir to keep algea growth to a minimum. I mix one 5 gallon bucket of nutes per day and clean my reservoir once per week. My pump is set to auto feed the plants every 5 hours after lights on, and I have a gravity self draining runoff setup I built. Not much to do from here on out, just keep the reservoir clean and full, a little defoliation, and 5 minutes per day to mix a bucket of nutes. I hope they get fat in the next few weeks and then I have about 7 people lined up to help me trim, I will throw everyone two zips for the help. hoping to do the wet trim in a day. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Week two, girls seem to be OK still, although I have little clue as to how big they should be! May 11th (day 9 since planting sprouted seeds into final pots), I think they are doing OK? Pictures are from May 11th. No nutes given although I did add 0.5ml to 1 litre water, in a sprayer, but have restrained myself from using it yet!! Watering has been using bottled spring water which I leave (5ltr bottles) in the grow tent so it's the same temp as air and substrate. I've pretty much let them dry out between watering. Raised light height a little as I have a small amount of curl on the leaf ends. I also made the fan a little less direct. I feel like I know this has to be light or fan related as the girls are not root-bound and all other parameters are fine. I could well be wrong of course, but I'm determined to learn what the girls want by changing the obvious parameters first before worrying about the big stuff. It's a very mild curl anyhow so I believe it'll be heat/light and fan related. Size-wise, the three are between 75 and 90mm tall and span in 95 to 110mm. If anyone has any thoughts I would love to hear/read them! May 12th I was really pleased to see the progress when I checked on them this morning. I have added a picture. The difference between yesterday and today is pretty clear. Things seem to be OK(?) but what do I know; this is my first grow following reading and learning a little. I've been spraying the leaves before lights out. Is this a good thing? I am aiming to LST the girls so, could anyone recommend when? How many nodes, how tall etc... It would really help me feel confident in the training. May 13th. Pretty amazed at how they're doing. Not that I particularly have anything to compare to experience-wise as these are my first grow. They're kinda praying a little so, doing some reading up on here, I have decided to raise the lights to 20" from 18". Maybe I should go higher? I'll see. Anyhow, temps went up over night as I had closed my grow room window so when I checked this morning they were sitting in 28.6C and 41% humidity. Now more stable at 25C and 47%. One thing I had not realised was how mercurial the temp and humidity would be and how quickly it changes so I need to be more mindful of this. I have added .5ml Biobizz Bio-Grow per 1ltr bottled spring water, although I am still using water only at this time, but in the next couple of days (start of week 3) I will start adding low dose nutes and then foliage spraying them just before lights out and see what that brings. I can always back it off I guess. It's all a bit of educated guesswork, currently, whilst I find my feet with this! May 14th. Decided to hold back on the nutes; Biobizz schedule is seemingly for cuttings and not seedlings so I think I've avoided a potential issue there, given that the Biobizz All-mix soilds have enough nutes to carry the seedlings through almost to flowering of the autos. So, I will remain on giving just bottled spring water until day 21, so, another 1.5 weeks. Then I think I'll add grow and bloom together at the suggested rates. I have some foliar spray mixed up with grow at 0.5ml/L which I think I will use for misting just before lights-out. No picture today... but I will post pics tomorrow instead. May 15th, day 13. Pictures uploaded. The girls are getting really broad, but height only 110mm. Should I raise my lights which are at 19" above top of canopy. They're certainly growing and seem healthy! Still watering (every two days, allowing for an almost dry substrate using the finger/knuckle test in the soil. May 16th, day 14. Started LST with bendy pipe cleaners. Honestly, it was nerve-wracking. I placed anchors at the base and did a simple bend to between 55 and 70 degrees across them. Only thing is, some of the canopy/lower leaves are almost touching the substrate so, should I trim them? I couldn't get up to the top to pull down either and had to go lower, as the plants are very young and squat, seemingly, so not a lot of spacing so I did what I could, anchoring under whatever was free in terms of space. Tomorrow - week 3 of veg starts!
