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! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

The purple punch x dos-si-dos are keepers for sure, they got such amazing tropical smell:) Only downside is that i have 1 pheno that is a bit ahead of her sisters:( The Diesel dipped coockies packed some size last week:) And the nuggs damn they are so dense it Just doesn't make sense;) The glookies are still stacking💪 quite a good yielding strain im asuming. Nice Lemon smell on these

First Guerilla-week! I am so excited and now it was time to set them out! I prepared my spot out in the woods and added 150 liters of new fresh quality-soil for my 4 plants so they can built a massive root system. These plants are gonna be so huge - again, the strain promises an average height of around 4 meters per plant. The temperatures here in my country are around 15-18°C and after a bit of raining it will be sunny and warm again. The sun comes out at 5:30 and sunset sets in at 20:30 -so 15hours of light for my plants. Stay tuned for awesome guerilla grow action! :)

Hello =) schönen Sonntag euch 🌞 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche war leider wieder alles andere als ruhig 😅 Ich konnte zwar durch regelmäßiges Absenken des EC den Burn von Notorious stoppen, aber wäre ja langweilig, wenn jetzt gerade in der wichtigen Phase alles gut läuft, oder =D Zum Regulieren habe ich immer feste Summen entnommen, dann die neu zuzufügende Menge auf die vorher berechneten Werte gebracht, und durch gezieltes, getrenntes Einstellen weiterhin ein vollständiges NPK-Profil bei insgesamt niedrigerem Ionenlevel gewährleistet =) ⚖️ Ich bin ja mit recht hohem EC in die Bulking-Phase gestartet, unter der Annahme, das wird gut gehen, wenn ich ein bisschen entspannter fahre und Notorious wieder besser mitmacht. Was ich eher weniger auf dem Schirm hatte, war, dass sich dadurch der Nährstoff- und Ionenbedarf der Pflanzen funktional stark verschoben hat 🤦‍♂️ =D Das Ganze dann in Kombination mit sehr weichem Wasser (wirklich brutal geringe Pufferkapazität 😵‍💫) und entspannterer Lösung – also mehr freiem Wasser und damit mehr Raum für Säureeintrag, führte langsam zu einer zunehmenden Versauerung der Nährstofflösung... Ich habe den sich einschleichenden pH-Drift zunächst als normales Uptake-Pattern bei dem Verhalten meiner höher angesetzten Lösung gedeutet, und den EC durch regelmäßige Top-ups weiter nach unten reguliert, das verbrauchte Wasser ersetzt und den pH wieder nach oben gezogen. Allerdings ausschließlich über Top-ups, ohne aktives pH+ bzw. ohne echten Pufferaufbau. Dabei habe ich leider viel zu spät gecheckt, dass sich das pH-Muster immer weiter nach unten verschiebt =(.. Nach etwa zwei Tagen wurde dann klar, dass es sich um ein Pufferproblem handelt und der pH-Wert bei unverändertem Vorgehen in einen kritischen Bereich rutschen würde. Durch die Verzögerung beim Beschaffen von pH+ stand das System über etwa drei Nächte jeweils mehrere Stunden im zu sauren Bereich (pH 5,3–5,0), was in dieser Phase leider zu einer deutlichen Wachstumsbremse geführt hat 😑🥀 Der Fehler lag nicht im reinen EC-Wert, sondern in der fehlenden Pufferreserve. Das habe ich – FML – bei dem sehr weichen Wasser dummerweise viel zu spät berücksichtigt 🤦‍♂️💀 Nach dem Einbringen von pH+ und dem Auffüllen des Puffers ist das Pattern aber wieder so, wie es sein sollte =) ✅ Das Wurzelsystem hat nach etwa 12 Stunden direkt wieder losgelegt mit gutem Uptake. Ich hatte hier wirklich Glück, dass die Pflanzen lediglich gehemmt waren, und hoffe jetzt, in den letzten 2–3 Wochen noch ein bisschen was gutmachen zu können 🤞🔥 Passiert mir sicher nicht nochmal =D 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Aktuell durch die letzte Woche hier nicht allzu viel zu berichten.. Blueberry Cupcake zieht den Frost weiter an und sie riecht traumhaft =) Ich habe auch den Eindruck, dass sie die Woche noch am besten mitgemacht hat. Entwicklungstechnisch wirkt es so, als könnte hier noch etwas kommen, da noch viele weiße Stigmen sichtbar sind – vor allem an den Seiten der Buds 🌿 Vom jetzigen Stand hoffe ich auf noch 2–3 Wochen =)=)🔥 Purpz hat ebenfalls gelitten und nicht sonderlich viel in Stacking investiert. Der Frost zieht auch hier schön weiter an, allerdings haben sich leichte Verfärbungen auf den Blättern gezeigt 🍂 Insgesamt sieht sie immer noch heftig aus, gerade deshalb ärgert mich die Handbremse hier wirklich … schöner Pheno 💜 Notorious hat einfach fast eine Pause eingelegt =D Das Frostbild ist weiterhin schön, allerdings ist sie in ihrer Entwicklung fast stehen geblieben.. Ich vermute, dass der zuvor hohe EC in Kombination mit der pH-Thematik hier deutlich mehr genagt haben 😣 Positiv ist jedoch, dass sie nicht weiter abgebaut, sondern lediglich kurz pausiert hat und jetzt gefühlt dort weitermacht, wo sie aufgehört hat =) Sie stackt auch wieder etwas =D Guzzlerz hat ja von Anfang an zu kämpfen gehabt, und ich habe das Gefühl, dass ihr genau das jetzt zugutekommt =D Sie entwickelt sich konstant weiter und hat sogar unter den Bedingungen der letzten Woche noch etwas an Masse aufgebaut. Sie hat einen angenehmen, süßlichen, flachen Duft 🍯 fast karamellartig, finde ich =) ⚙️ System Jetzt wieder Top-up-Logik weiterfahren =) VPD: 1,20 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt 🌫️ EC: 1.500–1.600 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 µmol/m²/s Vielen Dank mal wieder für eure Zeit 🙏 =) Schöne Woche euch und gesunde Plants 🌱💚

Summer is happening at full speed so a short entry here. Getting close anyways so wont be too much to cover. 7/15/2024 Day 55 Temp: 70.3 F RH: 64.3% VPD: 0.89 kPa Plant #1 Height: 37” inches Plant #2 Height: 31” inches Light distance 10” & 16” I’m going to water 2.5 gallons an hour before the lights come on tonight I’ve already prepared my water jug with a half a teaspoon of bio-phos, about five ML actually put a little more of the elixir in today and then the Q so I put all those things in the water and will give it to him before the lights come back on. 7/17/2024 Day 57 Temp: 81.8 F RH: 63.7% VPD: 1.31 kPa Plant #1 Height: 37” inches Plant #2 Height: 31” inches Did some work in the tent to try and alleviate some of the heat stress. Bent over the main cola to even out the canopy. Fed the regular feeding and some Oly Mtn Fish Compost.

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Purple Punch F1👈 So we are now moving into week 4 of flower and everything is looking good 👍 Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall 😳 Everything is looking good 👍sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues 😅 So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

These ladies continue to develop very nicely and lucky stopped stretching pretty much in the beginning of this week and the buds are forming super nicely. Since I also don’t observe a stretch in flower anymore, I decided to feed pk13/14 for the next week. It continues to surprise me how hungry these autos are, much hungrier than my glookies fro example. Unfortunately I realized that the plant on the very right of the box produces much smaller buds than the other two. I am pinning that on the fan right above her, so have pointed it slightly higher, but I guess the damage is done:(.

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21. Started to germinate the seed. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 2017-08-23.

Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics and a movie.

Day 96, 15th of December 2020: Wao and wao... this is what I can say. A bit late I was on holiday I usually start the week with the first day but now with the last one. So let's start with the "black sheep" of this group as she is alone here RQS Wedding Gelato. Easy growing issue free little bushy lady. Absolutely great choice of grow. Pretty much ready for Christmas but she can be cut even now lol.... And now let's speak about the Original Sensible Seeds' girls... Well Black Ghost OG similarly to RQS Wedding Gelato is calm little bushy and issue free lady.... no problem all good ready for Christmas.... Runtz Gum the thick chick with heavy big buds and excellent appearance is really amazing. I placed a stick there and fixed her to look better... It was not necessarily but i have done it. She needs more time pretty much done ny Christmas or a bit after.... Gelato from Original Sensible Seeds is similar in terms of acting such as streching and all that ... The same situation applies not much to really say we wait ;) I am really happy to have these ladies.... Well, Do-Si-Dos OG is the craziest one ever... lol.... not only due her crazy kind of streching style but the trichome developement that comes along to the fan leaf "holder" stem is pretty crazy.... Those buds are like a diamonds sticky and she would be ready to harvest but need to wait because I need to go.... I really had to fix her by placing a stick there I broke one stem but fixed as it did not come off... so crazy especially now because of the weight of the buds... now she looks even more beautiful... I think she is the most challenging grow ever. Original Sensible Seeds genetics is unique really high quality just look at them. Royal Queen Seeds as well but this is my second grow from them my first was a Green Gelato which is the same calm littlw bushy plant. Amazing very good for newbies ;) I am going on holiday again and back on 28th of December so after harvest starts. Girls will be cut after. The 7th weeks starts with tomorrow 16th of December.... Only flushing and no more nutritient will be used. Soon full report comes. Lamp is the same 11 hours on and 13 off.... The last 4 days they will get 4 days darkness and only ventilation will be working no even more water ;)
