I have started flushing with pH-adjusted Flawless Finish solution, expecting to harvest somewhere around the end of this week, although I will continue monitoring pistils and trichs. Upd: Added back 50% base nutrients and some flowering additives after researching some of the first responses to my flushing question. I learn every day. Even that which was scientifically proven true one day, might be even more scientifically proven absolutely false some time later (not related to flushing specifically). Thank you kings! Upd 2: Okay okay I cooked her with some cosmic rays or whatever those Chinese quantum bars emit — purple rays, I'll call it — that's on me. Turned them 30% down to see what's up. Light burn was not on my mind, because otherwise the leaves were not really curving that much, considering that this is 3 weeks overdue wrt advertised. Sorry about that, did not pay enough attention.

June 11: First week exposed to the full elements. Plants took a beating from the wind but othwise look strong and healthy albeit a bit small. No rain this past week, but soil moisture at 10cm is decent. Preflowers are showing already.

16/07 gave her the chop after 8 days flush and 2 days darkness. Aiming for at least 10 days drying time. My scales couldn't read her wet weight without being cut up, which in not doing yet.

Veo que las plantas avanzan lentamente pero seguro, tengo buenas sensaciones. Hay 8 puntas por cada planta.

27/02/19 - This one is great, I popped the seed 24hrs after the gelato and this one seems to be developing its leaves a lot faster than the rest, so far really happy with DNA and with mills nutrients, it’s a lot easier to mix and I no longer have to use ph down because once all mixed it’s at a 5.8/5.9. 👌🏻 02/03/19 - Just transplanted all into their final pot, just in time I think as it looked like the roots were starting to circle at the bottoms of the pot, sprinkled half a tea spoon of Mykos on each hole prior to the transplant & fed them 2.5 litres each. I was going to saturate the whole pot but I’ll do that next feeding.

Recién comenzando con automáticas ¿Una perdida de tiempo? Para muchos tirar automáticas es una perdida de tiempo y esfuerzo dada la facilidad con la que se estresan, sin embargo, no puedes esperar una producción superior sin hacer un cuidado adecuado. En este diario veremos que tan cierto es esto. Importante, no estoy afirmando bajo ningún caso que una semilla automática supera en producción a una feminizada, sin embargo, muchos afirman que la producción, el esfuerzo y el resultado de una semilla automática no se compensa para nada, sin embargo hay cultivadores que en dos meses consiguen producciones muy generosas de una planta automática . ¿Cuál es el secreto? Estrés... Lamentablemente son muy sensibles al estrés, pero si logramos controlar eso, deberíamos tener un resultado de otro nivel (El cual espero quede en evidencia en este diario). Sin mas que decir, los tendré al tanto de los avances de estas niñas

I used overdrive fertilizer again this week. My God, girls get more beautiful like this. The last weeks make me very happy.😍🌷💐💥⚘️👽👽🎍 From now on, I will be very careful because the more I improve the conditions, the better results I get Especially the temperature difference between night and day. humidity Box ambient temperature 👊👊💧♠️

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.

Today marks the beginning of my Hella Jelly pheno test run indoors. I've selected 7 out of 9 of the plants to re-test indoors from the outdoor mini pheno hunt. Unfortunately, I didn't post that grow! Life got hectic. Clones were taken 7 weeks ago and have been vegged for five weeks, the plants will be going into flower cycle tomorrow so we can figure out which ones are the true keepers. Some of the plants are a little behind, but we have taken more clones and we want to see what we are working with now before some are to big. A few of the Pheno's showed amazing potential outdoors and I am eager to see their true capabilities under perfect environmental controls. Plants are currently fed once a day by hand. The multi drip feed system will be installed in the coming weeks. Plants are fed at 800 EC and we will slowly work our way up to 2000 over the next few weeks. Installing some UVB bulbs in the next week or two. I am using some techniques to keep the stretch minimal to encourage strong plants with dense stacked buds. I'm excited to see how these plants develop over the coming weeks and I'll update my diary weekly with progress! Happy Growing I have added some pictures of the pheno's from the outdoor grow
