26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! ๐Ÿ˜ there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary ๐Ÿƒ โœŒ๏ธ

Kind of given up on this one. I had an issue catchung runoff which led to me not watering plants enough Not watering plants to runoff will result in higher substrate Ec(Generative cue and also could burn plants) Also its about 20โ€ข outside which does not work for the plantsr dark period. December and january are tough months. I recently learned that i should

Week 8 **************Sponsored Grow*************** Hello friends and followers to my weekly Titan F1 update: I posting my week update a little early. It is Easter this Sunday and I'm house hunting with my daughter on Saturday and won't have time until Wednesday and that it too late to update. 3/24-30 This week is mostly coasting and keeping my girls happy. This is the last week of watering with nutrients. Next 2 weeks will be water only. Bud stacking continues giving more height. Many pistols have turned orange or brown. While small, the buds on both plants are dense. They donโ€™t have much smell or any particular aroma that I can detect. Thanks for the likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love๐Ÿ’š. Have fun & love what you grow ๐Ÿ’š Sending love and light ๐Ÿ’ซ ๐Ÿ’ซNatrona ๐Ÿ’ซ **************Sponsored Grow*************** Royal Queen Seeds is the first to off genuine F1 cannabis seeds. F1 hybrids are the future of cannabis genetics, offering unrivalled stability, vigor, and yields. They have eight (8) F1 hybrid strains including a CBD. Unlike regular hybrids, which can be created by crossing virtually any two cannabis plants, F1 hybrids are made by crossing two pure (also known as "inbred") genetic lines. The resulting seedlings not only grow bigger and stronger, but also maintain stable growth traits that result in a uniform crop. In Rocket to the moon, I grew one Apollo F1, (please refer to my diary for full details). Huge base stalk, strong stems, remained under 3โ€™, and yielded over 4 ounces. They have come down in price since their introduction. I was so impressed by the yield and growth of Apollo, I strongly urge you to look at the site for a variety that has what you are looking for. I would like to express my sincere thanks to @James at @Royal Queen Seeds for giving me this opportunity to grow their quality seeds. It was a hard decision to select the strain to grow; Iโ€™m excited to grow Titan F1. ==================================== Royal Queen Seeds Https://www.royalqueenseeds.com use Discount Code use **GROWERS20** for 20% discount Titan F1 stands out as one of the most potent options in F1 hybrids. Thanks to her genetic lineage, she produces sky-high levels of THC and boatloads of delicious terpenes. Plus, plants reach modest heights while churning out impressive yields. Talented breeders created this F1 by crossing inbred lines that share a heritage with Blue Dream, Sugar Magnolia, and Amnesia. Effects, Flavors, and Aromas of Titan F1: Powerful Effects and Sugar-Citrus Notes Titan F1 will treat your olfactory system throughout the flowering phase, and beyond. This auto flowering variety unleashes a powerful terpene profile consisting mostly of myrcene, farnesene, ocimene, pinene, bisabolol, and limonene.

Good day to all my friends and visitors here on GD. After this week end, we will cut the first Tropicanna XL plant:D Middle this week we changed the reservoir water for a fresh solution. This plant will not get a flush before harvest, it's the first time i'm not flushing a plant for the cut but you know only two of the four girls are ready to chop and it's not possible in my RDWC to seperate feed them. So yes it's kind of an experiment for me. Something's not right with my fresh solution or the plants get root rot or something but the girls starting to show K deficiency...good that the plants are on the finish line :) The SE7000 runs at 540 Watt and about 33cm from the canopy and is doing an astounding job. For anyone who is interested in obtaining this efficient and affordable light fixture here's the link: https://spider-farmer.com/products/spider-farmer-upgraded-se7000-730w-commercial-led-grow-light/ A shout out to Sweter Seeds for the gift of genetics, this cultivar really rocks ๐Ÿ’ชโ˜˜๏ธ๐Ÿ’š https://sweetseeds.es/en I also want to thank Jungle Indabox nutrients for supplying me with their excellent nutrients line: https://www.jungleindabox.cz/en or https://numazon.cz/homepage/ That's it friends, I hope to see y'all next week, bless.

All of my plants with a case of calcium deficiency this week, mainly the best growing one which is showing it really bad ๐Ÿ˜ช Have halved the nutrients and feeding them CalMag with their food daily to hopefully stop the calcium deficiency getting any worse.. Nearly there now anyway maybe a few more weeks maximum so will just have to see how it goes and learn some lessons. Think I'll be growing 6 full size photoperiods next time, gonna do some research through the week to pick the soil, coco or maybe hydro. Then probably get another led light if temperature is gonna be an issue in a bigger tent, if not I've got a 600w MH and hps I can use. Thought I'd be alright not watering them everyday and was gonna do every other day but think it may be too late to do this now. She's covered in orange spots even worse than before after not watering for 1 night so can imagine the roots are fucked because of me overwatering them ๐Ÿ˜ช they've got a week or 2 left so hopefully the best one won't die..

So please don"t trip out on this. I know my conditions are not accurate or my nutrient amounts. Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Kids, make sure you keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

Let's remember, in week 6 one of my king's tart had been broken in 2 because of the tension due to my bad LST. This plant grows much taller than the others. I'm trying to lower his height by doing HST. Currently she does not seem to complain about it. I preferred to remove my net this week, to more easily access my plants and water them. I hope the branches will hold I cut a lot of leaf this week. I hear different opinions that say it's beneficial others not... At least it will have the advantage of lowering the humidity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Water: tap water at 300 PPM, I add 0.7G of Hybrid powder and 0.3g of booster PK+ per liter to reach 950PPM and I adjust the PH to 5.8. I watered daily until water drained from the pot (to release nutrients from previous waterings) and I take a 3-4 day watering break to let it dry out before resuming a daily watering schedule. -Daytime temperature: 22-26ยฐC -Night temperature: 20-24ยฐC -Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it... I need advice please contact me if you have :) ) -Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 90% at 35cm from the top leaves -Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm -Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 3/10 -Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

With the new netting up, I switched on the red lights along with the blues to help the plants stretch a bit to reach through the screen. It looks like it is taking effect, so late in the week (Friday) I trimmed some of the lower branches. Last week I FIMmed Zoe and Grace to give River a chance to catch up, and I expected 1 of 2 results: 1) FiMming will encourage growth in the cut plants causing them to grow taler than River, or 2) Things will stabilize and River will be on par with her siblings. But instead, I discovered a 3rd result: River is continuing to grow bigger and thicker each day and is even taller and fuller than her sisters. In addition though, the trimmed plants are developing nice, strong, sizable leaves, and most of the new growth is coming from down below, rather than near the top. Oh, and this week I added a new camera (Wyze) to the time lapses so I can take my pro camera out.

2nd time around is in her 6th week of flower and unfortunately I found 2 bud rot places and a worm on my outdoor grow. Because of this, I am harvesting her a bit early so I don't loose the whole plant. I read an article that said this was the right decision to make because bud rot can travel quickly. HOWEVER, if you look at the magnified pictures of her, you will see a few amber trichomes starting to show which really means it is entering its later stages of ripening. So, I'm okay with harvesting today. @Divine Seed Auto Candy is a beautiful cannibas plant to grow. She is tall and has thick buds. Check out my picture and you will see her heavy cola bending over from her weight. Her flowery/sweet smell is spreading all over my backyard!! Hope the neighbors don't mind:) As usual, I clipped off a bud and took some close up pictures for you to gaze your eyes upon. @Divine Seeds, this was a wonderful plant to grow. It is everything @Divine seeds said it would be. I am excited to hang her up and dry her out for a couple of weeks. As usual, Be Happy and stay tuned for the harvest weigh in and smoke report! Likes and comments are Very Much Appreciated. Susquihanna

Day 69 (March 6th) Just gave everyone their last watering. Iโ€™m going to harvest and wash everything tomorrow night on day 70. Iโ€˜m not going to do that whole 48 hours of darkness thing because I didnโ€™t see a difference last time I did it. In fact, it made my plant under watered before drying which caused it to dry too fast. Slurricane and cheese will be washed with h2o2 and the rest will just be rinsed off in warm RO water and hung up. Before and after washing Iโ€™m going to go over each branch with a flashlight and make sure there is no dog hair or debris in or on the buds. I will be drying in my spare bathroom (that no one uses!) from hangers. Aiming to keep it around 60-62F and 50-60 RH. Hoping for that 10-12 day dry. I wanted to do a full plant hang but the tent got pretty dirty and I would feel more comfortable just cutting and rinsing everything off branch by branch. Iโ€™m going to try my best to keep the full plant intact. Got my humidifier hooked up and running RO water because with tap water it deposits calcium and lime all over the buds and walls. For air flow Iโ€™m just indirectly running a small usb fan. Iโ€™m not worried about air flow in the bathroom honestly. It stays nice and breezy down there anyway. Got the food grade peroxide and RO water to wash up the slurricane and cheese. Everything except for the cheese and garlic#1 is looking more than done. Trichomes all look pretty well done. Some of them have even burst open. Smells are all super ripe and mature too. Canโ€™t wait to smell each individually in jars. Next week I will recap what went wrong and what I will do differently next time to keep it from happening again. (Day 70F) Just got everything chopped, washed and hanging. The vast majority of the PM was washed out but I can still see very small amounts. When they dry out I can shake the branches a bit to get the rest off. At very least itโ€™s sterile now. There is no question I lost some potency while washing but the amount is negligible for a much cleaner product. I could see lots of dirt and other debris float to the surface of the water after being washed. And no those are not trichomes, those sink to the bottom. I could put that nasty water through a bubble bag and wouldnโ€™t get all that much. Although it probably does remove a lot of the actual trichomes heads. Iโ€™ll have to check with the microscope. Everything is rigged up for a nice slow dry. Temp is sitting at 64 and RH is at a nice 60%.

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart. I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC. I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will! First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate. ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants. I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Updates will be coming throughout the week!

I am super happy with this strain, the pictures and videos truly don't do her justice. She absolutely reaks of blueberries, and the buds sparkle like diamonds. I am super excited to squish some blueberries here in a few weeks! I will update with a dry weight and a smoke report in a few weeks, thanks for stopping by, be safe, and Blaze On!!!
