All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 63 She didnt grow much over night but she seems to have already took to her new digs with no further signs of stress past last night's droopy leaves that have since bounced back today. PH tested the top soil 6.38,6.45,6.42,6.4 for an avg of 6.4125 - I tried to take a couple from the original soil and the soil divide of old/new - the numbers run close to the same so Im satisfied. Placed the ring back on - Measured 11 inches from soil to bar, but I can work with that as it's still level and the branches run past it all the way around. I also tried to level it. I didnt feel the need to tie any of the branches this time as they are mostly going where I wanted them to. PPFD is still lower power at 2 ticks from high and center colas at 510 and 500 with the outering at 430 lowest and 470 at highest with most at about 455 VPD is okay with temps at 74F/64%RH/33%ILV Day 64 VPD and PPFD still mostly the same about 520 to 440 on ppfd from center to lowest outer ring and 74F/64%RH/33%ILV she seems to be likely the new set up and soil is still somewhat tacky - Plan to water in 2 days. I could water tomorrow, but I rather make the roots look for new space in the outer ring before just giving more for now. Day 65 VPD and ppfd mostly the same - 73F/64%RH/33%ILV with lights at 520 for the center colas and 430 for the lowest of the outer ring She's mostly filled the ring and close to 15 inches including the ring meaning I should be able to defoliate and flip this coming weekend. So I'll prep for that. It has been 3 days since transfer and last feed. Soil is still moist but not wet on the very top. I prepped tap water to burn chlorine tonight and will consider wetting her a little tomorrow. No more than a gallon of straight water for now, then again with reduced nutes a few days after that. Day 66 VPD same; 74F/64%RH/33%ILV PPFD after watering was 430 at lowest and 520 at highest - also moved the lights because I finally got the stand for the 10 gallon pot. Lights are now about 33 inches from soil and since the plant is about 15 inches high that makes the light about 18 inches from leaves to light. Watered with 1 gallon of 6.4ph de-chlorinated tap. Used a spreader water can and spray bottle. I used the whole gallon and there was no run off. Day 67 VPD okay at 74F/65%RH/33%ILV took 4 ph tests in the top soil got 6.64, 6.65, 6.67, and 6.54 for an avg of 6.625 (actually higher than I wanted but still well with-in range of acceptable. waited until later in the day and defoliated lower leaves - mostly the larf leaves under the ring. Also used HST and LST to break a few branches and tie others. The goal is to set a more level top before flip. But one that can be secured with the ring later if needed. PPFD now has 600 as highest and 430 as lowest she's spread quite far from center to outer rings now. Overall she looks close to flip and I think I might be able to at the start of week 10 day 70. Day 68 VPD was normal at 74F/65%RH/33%ILV - PPFD ranged from 400 to 600 with most around 500 She seems to be recovered mostly form the HST/LST/Defoliation - or at least is accepting the training as the colas that were bent are now pointing up. There are a few leaves showing stress and possible deficiency but all I can do is monitor and treat with my next feed if I see it spread more. Took measurements too - about 16inches tall with a diameter of about 22 by 22, so I am happy with this wing span and no scrOG Day 69 Normal stats with 74F/65%RH/33%ILV ppfd also the same as yesterday ranging from 400 to 600. Tomorrow will be 4 days since her last water feed - I plan to feed about 1 gallon of de-chlorinated tap water with about 50 ppm of each veg and bloom juice mix. I also plan to flip to 12/12 tomorrow. Schedule will be 3 hours later and earlier from current times. Decided to put her into a MarsHydro 24x48x71 tent and start giving UV/IR light treatments through flower. So that's the tent I also have a Bloom Plus XP2500 LED Grow Light - a set of Spider Farmer UVR40 40W UV & IR Supplemental Lighting Bars and I am using a iPower 6 Inch Smart Vent. I measured the distance from soil to lights and placed it back at 35 inches like it was with the ViparSpectra XS2000 in the other tent - I then dialed the lights down to the same ppfd as it was. I am giving her 30 minutes of UV light 1 hour before bed and then 15 minutes of IR after lights out and before lights on again - which is now 3 hours later.

DAY 21 FLOWERING: Howdy folks. Here we are on day 21 flowering for these willing and healthy Zamnesia ladies. They took no time at all to relish back up again following their defol earlier in the week. I took a fair bit of leaf matter out and also did a little popcorn stripping too. Now it looks as if I never did anything at all. This used to be my dilemma with the debate surrounding defoliation, however , the size and shape of the leaves that were removed, would have been huge and needed a lot of space and airflow to remain healthy alone , never mind flourishing in flower !. Removing those leaves has not stunted the flowering process or halted the stretch period either. The smaller helpers have now become the bigger powerhouses and filled the plants frame with big green spectrum grabbers. I am going to remove some more leaf to allow more airflow and light to get around the multiple bud sites that litter the canopy from every angle but have been shaded and tucked away behind leaves. Getting light on to the stem is a goal too . If light gets there , so can fresh air !. They have all grown a lot this week and containing them is going to be fun as the get buds fattening too. I am considering putting my new light in for a little wider coverage now as I think they will need it possibly. I have a viparspectra p4000 getting Ansy in its box and it wants to get involved.lol The Girl scouts are thriving with so much growth on the #2 that she doesnt know which site to focus on so it going for them all. She has a lot of potential bid sites. #1 is a more natural growth pattern with lots of secondaries wanting g main status. The Amnesia haze had a good strip out to get that huge bushy appearance change , they have all cone back with a vengeance and will be stripped again a little now. The signs of calmag def are still around but I am trying to avoid having to add it in in flowering this run to see how much difference it makes with the feeds I am using. So far no issues with feeding at all and they are only showing a slight tip burn from the strength probably. I am still pulling them lateral each room visit to encourage them to find their own growing space that works for them and so far so good and they are playing ball. They are drinking all of their feed very quickly now so i will have to up the feed times now I think . I am feeding every 3 days with approx 3L each pot . seeing how the 1# Girl scout looked , I think every other day now . Let's see what the next week brings. Be happy growmies.

Grew well and so far there's no pests. I think they're growing on schedule with no stunt so far. I think they should start packing on weight next week. We will see. All Good!

We are on Day 36 of Flower and going strong! As we are coming to the final weeks of flower, these buds are still immature but are definitely going to be maturing well. Word to the wise, at this stage in the fame you gotta check your plants DAILY (or you might have some unexpected droop 😅😅😅). Surprisingly we are only watering every other day. I think the Mycorrhizae and the biochar in this soil mix are helping me out a lot here. Overall feeling really good about this plant. The feedings look fine and she is looking very healthy. Here's hoping for a great rest of flower. Cheers til next time -DJ sunstone

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and she’s coming down the end. She’s mostly milky and can’t really see but a couple clear trichs in there, plus a few amber. I’m just waiting now for her to get about 25% amber then I’ll chop. Should be ready for some water in another day or so and read somewhere to give her iced water so gonna try that and see what it does. Loving all the orange and yellow colors that are coming out in her and such a sweet strong smell. Day 72 - She’s was dried out so gave her 2 gallons of water with 5ML of MagiCal and 80ML of Sugardaddy from Technaflora to try and finish her up. She’s probably got about 10ish days left, all milky trichs now and can see she’s starting to amber up a bit more. This could possibly be her last watering but may give her one more drink before chopping. Day 73 - No updates really, just waiting for her to dry up and get the chop. Still watching the trichs and all milky with a few amber still. Day 75 - Still just waiting for her to amber up before chopping and hopefully she’ll get a bit fatter before hand. She’s already rock hard and smells amazingly sweet, should end up being a good smoke in the end. Day 76 - She’s getting a little more amber in here so this is going to be her final week. I’ll give her one more drink of plain water tomorrow and let her dry out till chop day. Day 77 - Ending week 11 and gave her her last drink of water tonight. She’s gonna a ton more amber trichs so will be chopping her some point this weekend, possibly Sunday. She’s showing some amazing colors and smell as well!

I've been pulling fan leaves this week . 1. To slow the top down . 2. To encourage side branch growth. 3. So they can remain in very small pots in a small space until I have space to let them grow properly.

Mystery Made 2 already stopped showing male traits. I only plugged 3 or 4 there in total. Melonade Runtz on the other hand still is developing but I have the feeling that it is slowly getting better. All in all they look amazing and are growing very nicely. The trichomes are also developing great!

These girls are looking like they are sprayed with fake snow...lol so sticky icky to play with. Took off a lower outside branch for scoping and these girls are looking close. They have signs of some amber and we are gonna let them go a bit longer to harvest closer with the alien tech hopefully. They definitely didn’t like being neglected a little bit and ph/Ec swung a bit in the middle of flowering and cause some issues a bit, nothing major though. Definitely not for the beginning grower that’s for sure, very finicky...lol got the nutrients lowered for the last week and then there getting the chop! Lol got more girls needing the room, but there looking good. Till next week, Cheers 💨

Beautiful, and productive week. They drink a lot of water, I give them 10 litres/4 days. They are truly enjoying the environment, hopefully we will have a large harvest.

So we've hit day 49 with the girls! Everyone seems to be happy. The 2 little runts are now the biggest in the crop, they're super stretchy and about a week behind in flowering. I hope to be able to harvest all the plants at once as I plan to dry in my tent, but if I have to do a staggered harvest then, I guess I gotta do it. Nutes are listed above, everything has been working excellent so far. (I may be trying different coco nutes next run, as I'm suspecting the H&G set I'm using has contributed to the stretchiness of the girls.) UPDATE - DAY 51 - 09/01/21 Everything seems to be just fine at this stage in time. the runts are flowering slowly, so i hope they pick up sometime soon. 1 of the plants(the healthiest since day 1) seems to be a week or so ahead in flower. I'm still hoping to chop the whole tent down at the same time (Fingers crossed!). UPDATE - Day 53 - 11/01/21 The girls seem to be happy today. Pheno type 1 ( plant 1 + 2) - Much more bud production than the rest of the plants. pheno type 2 (plant 3 + 4) - runts of the litter are now the stretchiest out of the lot Pheno type 3 (remainder of plants) are inbetween pheno 1 & 2. I'm still hoping to harvest the majority of the girls at the same time, still have a while to go though :) Thanks for stopping by!

DAY 7 SINCE PLANTING: Everything is still going great I really like to baby these girls making sure they are always at the right temp and humidity and never dying for a drink .. you can definitely already tell a difference in how much water uptake each strain differs by... like the washing machine by ripper seeds was the first to take off and definitely sucking up water the fastest. Kosher Kush is super healthy as well along with the free BLUEBERRY seeds from “ Seedsman. I’m planning on moving them into my tent here in the next 10-14 days under my 1000 watt MH (dimmed to 600 watts) and 2 other mars hydro 150 watt leds(at half power) if you guys could help me out with your opinions ,thoughts, critiques Anything would be appreciated like how far away should I keep the lights after moving them into the 5x5?

Decided to start my #1 favourite strain so far! 😍 It will be interesting to see if I 'overrated' it last time or not. In her 20 litre airpot is a mix of new compost : new canna terra : perlite in a 3:3:1 ratio by scoop. Also I should mention I riddled the brand new compost AND Terra soil through an approx 6mm 1/4" screen. This makes the soil wonderfully soft. I've not done this on my recent grows, lets see if it makes a difference or not. She is 7 days above ground now.
