July 21, 2024 Day 92 This week may be a little weird with pictures. My phone's screen died, so pictures may be a little messy if any at all. I'll do my best to get as good as I can. Anyway, I managed to get these 4 before the screen went black again. I'll update as I can. So the focus this week will be flushing and flushing only. I don't have enough flawless finish so I have to flush with plain water. Sour Diesel A is looking pretty good. Her branches are getting heavier and heavier. Some are starting to lean a bit too much and will pull down other branches as anchors. A good and a bad thing. Not too bad though. Sour Diesel B is just doing her thing now. Her buds are huge and solid. Her leaves are starting to show more color and some are yellowing out. She's getting there. Sour Diesel C is looking great and is definitely thirsty. She's already getting light. It's a good thing I'm flushing tomorrow. After that, it will be just bottom feed of plain water for the rest of the week or 2. Sour Diesel D is still bulking up. Her leaves still aren't showing color, but they are starting to show signs of hunger. Just barely around the edges. The environment is actually not that bad today. The humidity is below 60% and the temp is just at 75 degrees. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76 RH: 58% VPD: 1.25 kPa July 22, 2024 Not much going on today. I managed to get a daily pic, but that's it. I will be flushing tomorrow I think. They are still a bit heavy. Sour Diesel A is looking really good. She has super frosty buds and they are nice and heavy. The fade is starting to pick up the pace. It is to be expected now. Soon enough we will have some beautiful colors. Sour Diesel B looks great! Her buds are nice and fat as well as getting even more frosty. I cant get trichome pics for now because my phone is broken. However, I can Still look through a loupe. Currently they are half clean and half cloudy. Definitely looking at another week. Which makes total sense for the time frame. Perfect. Sour Diesel C is looking amazing with her bright green leaves and tight buds. She's starting to fade a bit more now. It's looking like we will see some yellows and maybe some pink. no purple though. I don't expect this strain to give purple anyway. Sour Diesel D has this stupid looking fat cola that's more like the end of a club than a plant top. Its about as hard as one too. Too bad I don't have a baseball bat. I'd love to see if its actually fatter than the end. The environment is about the same as it was yesterday. The humidity is just below 60% and the temp is around 76 degrees. ( cant find the degree symbol lol.) I cant really say much for the averages. i cant see the app on my phone. I will update everything when I get a new phone. For now it will be just an average from what I've seen throughout the day on the display at the tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76 RH: 59% VPD: 1.20 July 23, 2024 Flushing day and picture day! I flushed each plant with 3 gallons of water PHed to 6.5. Sour Diesel A has this kind of wind swept look about her now. I just noticed it today when I was flushing her out. The branches all seem to be bending toward one side. Like they are bending toward the center of the plant. Sour Diesel B is looking marvelous. Her buds are fat and the foxtails seem to be stopping now. However I did notice the lower buds have much more pronounced foxtailing. I believe it's due to the smaller size of the lowers. Sour Diesel C is fantastic. Her buds are solid and frosty. Definitely packing on more weight too. Sour Diesel D is just ridiculous. Her main cola is like a football. Super solid cola. Can't wait for the harvest. Soon enough. The environment is still like yesterday. Just under 60% and 76°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.9% VPD: 1.20 kPa July 24, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily pic and a quick check of the plants. Sour Diesel A looks great as always. Her leaves are still pretty green, but I can see more purple coming through. No other colors yet. The smell is great too. Sour Diesel B is also looking great. Her buds are big and fat. Her frost is frosty sweet. I can't wait to see how she turns out. Sour Diesel C is smelling sweet and gassy. Her buds are really frosty now. The buds are still putting on weight and are getting tighter. Sour Diesel D is getting frosty now. She was frosty before but now it's getting more noticeable. I can't express enough how solid this massive cola is. Its SOLID. The environment is the same as it has been for the last few days. Humidity below 60% and the tempmis around 76°. It will, of course, drop down to the low 50's% when the AC kicks on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.16 kPa July 25, 2024 A first thing update: So it's before my actual diary writing time and I need to address this. A friend of mine saw heat stress in my plants and I was really confused as to how it could be. Well, it was getting hot in the tent before I woke up in the morning. So 2 to 3 hours of 80° everyday for the last week if not longer. I fixed the issue today with mu AC. I'll just keep it on 24/7. It's picture day! No watering needed. I'll be doing one last flush I think. Theblast one didn't show clear water. So one more time should do it. Sour Diesel A is showing signs of heat stress now. Although, as I said earlier today, I have fixed it. But the humidity is really high. The back branches are leaning hard with one falling over flat. It's a good and a bad thing. Lots of weight, but not as good of light. Sour Diesel B is under a lot of stress. I didn't realize it was heat stress as I thought the temp in the tent was 76°. Her buds are still really nice, but I think the heat stress is causing lower foxtailing. Sour Diesel C needs nothing. She is also showing signs of heat stress. Not as bad as Sour Diesel B, but still there. It should be fine now. I'm not sure what the humidity is going to do, but it's high. Buds are tight, frost is on point. Sour Diesel D is showing the least amount of heat stress, but is also the only one not showing signs of fading yet. She is still beautiful and huge buds. The environment is back to really high humidity and good temp. So I'm trading heat stress for humidity stress. Great. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 62.8% VPD: 1.04 kPa July 26, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily pic and observation. Sour Diesel A is looking super good. I don't know if she is suffering from much heat stress, but she should be fine now. I took care of it. Her branchesbare leaning more and more. I can tell she will be a decent harvest. Sour Diesel B is by far the worst with the heat stress. It must be the location of the plant and the airflow. Maybe there is an empty air pocket. Interesting. I'll have to look for it. Sour Diesel C looks great! Just a little bit of heat stress and that's about it. Her buds are nice and tight. No leaning, butni have a feeling we will run into thar with her. Sour Diesel D is showing a slight sign of heat stress, but nothing serious. It should be fine with the temp fix. One of her side branches is starting to lean a bit. Not a lot, but enough. Otherwise, she looks great! I really wonder what the main cola will weigh. 2 Oz? We will see. The environment was giving me trouble for the last week and last night I left my AC on. It was chilly when I woke up, but the tent was at a comfortable 74°. The humidity is also a bit lower, down to 57%. Not too bad. I would like it to be at 50%, but this is what I got. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.8° RH: 58.7% VPD: 1.11 kPa July 27, 2024 It's picture day! And video day! I was going to do another flush today, but tomorrow is the start of a new week, so I'll wait for then. I'll also start taking trichoke pics starting next week. I think I was supposed to start this week, but there's no point in looking at clear trichomes. Sour Diesel A needed some support for the rear branches. They were leaning super hard. So I propped one up that's now holding the rest ofbthe branches up. Let's hope it holds. Everything else looks good. Sour Diesel B is still showing signs of heat stress. I'm guessing it'll take a few days to recover. Not good for the last week of life though. We shall see how she turns out. Sour Diesel C is looking great! Her branches are starting to pull out a bit from the weight. We shall see how she looks at the end of the week. Sour Diesel D needed 1 branch propped up. It was one of the lowers, but it has a nice big bud on it. Other than that, she's looking pretty good. The environment is better. I kept my AC on all night and shut it off this morning. I'll have to turn it back on in a little bit, but yah, it worked. The humidity was also below 60%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.1° RH: 57.4% VPD: 1.12 kPa

This week, I started to notice deficiencies. Struggled to specifically diagnose them and I'm still not entirely sure I have... but I believe they're calcium deficiencies from watering with Reverse Osmosis H20. So, I brewed a compost tea for veg plants, and added some extra calmag. They seem to be responding well. Also started low stress training this week.

Smells awesome! She’s getting thick! I was worried about how tiny she was. But she’s perfect ✌️❤️

Both Plants are looking healthy. They are looking pretty simular but the one Plant is like 15% bigger than her sister. But both have same Leafe appearance. PPFD hits with around 750 PPFD

10/10/22 début de légumes pour la Gorilla sherbet 1,3 et 4. Cette plante ce développe vite, vers la fin de semaine les pistils sont apparus.

Welcome to my LSD-25 auto sponsored by FASTBUDS & XPERT NUTRIENTS. WEEK 5 Days 29-35 Plant moved really well through pre flower. Stsrted developing purps in the bud. She hasn't a lot of mass, she is very pungent. (Weirdly smells just like Swiss Dream Rose CBD). Gonna give her another week and then move under my bigger lamp. Nutrients Giving 450-500ppm of core NPK "master bloom" aswel as their full flowering line. Need to ph to 6.7. Using Biobizz ph + (only thing I don't like about it, it's black & gets everywhere, but is super as a buffer) DLI is 37-39 over 18hrs. Thanks to my sponsors from Fastbuds (Heather your a gem) & shout out to Xpert Nutrients for allowing me to test their products (and been 100% honest, my bud, yields have improved 2x and yield 1x, stickiness/Resin/taste easily 3x). 8 highly doubt I'll actually ever use a different line. Maybe to test if asked. But I won't be buying any other brands but this. Its my 1st crop and I'm having to hone my skills with using it. The plants uptake is so much better in soil, I keep getting caught out, whereas I use to have up fo 2 even 3 days when adding to soil before any real issues. With this my soil does need water every day.

I wished that I could've done things a little different but the end result was fiiire! Taste like Peaches when you give it a nice 4 week cure. Wish that I could've yielded more. But experience will overcome all my flaws. But it will only get better.

Babies are getting fat I like that!

Week 6 is a short one. Humidity is high as shit but I've just ordered a dehumidifier. VPD sadly is only at about 0.8 mPa during the Day and wayy lower at night.

Look at the root ball on My f1 never seen anything like it there strong healthy plants easy to grow cheak out zamnesia

Well the end is in sight, she is dressed in yellow and little buds are swollen more and more, no more flowers out, so I am harvesting in a week or so if all goes well! She smells gassy and narcotic on surface, very strong! No more food just water

Everything looks fine, they begin to stretch

Another week almost finished, we are on the final phase and tomorrow I will start watering it only with water, to harvest this little girl later.. See you next week.. 🌱🌱

Hellow growers. Not quite sure whats going on but im now under the impression this isnt an auto as labelled. Lights have been on an 18/6 schedule but now i have set them to 12/12. I should be seeing pistils by now if it was an auto lol. I aint mad if it aint but i have veged a monster. Her stem has lots of girth her canopy is nice and even. Defoliated 22/11 Yay positive they are not automatic. So correcting info.

Background: This is a small grow in a 20" x 36"x 63" tent. Growing 2 sour diesel from seed in coco/perlite medium using General Hydroponic nutrients and primarily following feeding schedule as listed here http://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-DTW_03216am.pdf . I'll be substituting "h3ad formula," i.e. 6 ml GH FloraMicro : 9 ml GH FloraBloom per gallon, for the first 3 rows in the pdf and also be skipping Diamond Nectar, FloraBlend, and FloraNectar. See pic above for nutrient list. Note: Second time attempting to grow this strain. Bud rot destroyed majority of previous grow so this is a redemption grow, hopefully. Lesson learned from previous failure - two circulation fans do not counter high humidity especially for the big buds over 3" wide. On chop day, after vegging for 3 months and flowering for 100 days, the insides of the buds closest to the stems were full of white cotton candy. Couldn't spot it from the outside at all. So lesson learned, and this time end of flower will coincide with low-humidity winter as opposed to the summer. Week 1 - Nutrient regimen: 6 ml GH FloraMicro + 9 ml GH FloraBloom per gallon. Used at 1/3 strength diluted with dechlorinated water. Solution ph'd to 5.8. 9/5/2019 (V1) - Sprouted yesterday and moved under 273 watts of vero 29 LED today, dimmed to lowest setting. Used rapid rooters for germination but would have preferred peat pellets since they stay can stay upright without support. 9/10/2019 (V6) - Fungus gnat larvae infestation! Transplanted to solo cups on 9/6 (V2) using ready mix bag of coco and perlite. Using 1/3 strength "h3ad formula" for first week and fed every other day. Growth appears stunted compared to previous grows and stems needed additional support to stay upright with circulation fan on. Feeding until runoff showed major infestation (see video #1). Can only guess coco mix bag was contaminated, since no adult gnats are visible in tent and yellow sticky card is empty. This has got to be my record for early fuckups! Attempting to treat with neem extract mix (dosed used 5 ml neem oil extract : 500 ml water) and a layer of diatomaceous earth on top (see V6 pic). Hopefully this treatment is better than not doing anything and letting those squirmy baby bastards take over. For a plant this young and without adequate root support this is a gamble. Also bumped up light a bit to 13000 lux as read on Light Meter v3.1 app by Trajkovski Labs using Samsung S6.

Oct.29 - We transplanted the girls into soil since they are moving into vegetation phase Nov.4 - Watered each plant 250mL, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each girl
