Two weeks of !2/12 done. Everything is going fine. My lamp is on full whack with the reds switched on, the UVA has always been on. This week I have got to keep a close eye on my run off for PH and C/f. The pond activator starts decomposing any bits of dead root, plant root excretions, even the coco itself. This results in a big jump in C/f and PH. The broad spectrum of bugs push the PH up but I stay on top of it with daily high volume run to waste using light Nutes at PH 5, by doing this the more Acidic tolerant bugs get the upper hand and after a week or so my PH will stabilise and I can cut down on the volumes of liquid I am putting through the pots. Whatever is in the activator does the job I want it to. It is a bit of a ball-ache to stabilise but after that, it is a dream. Why you may ask don't I use one of the many specific cannabis inoculations. For one Cost, an £8 250ml bottle will last me for a thousand years, cuts out the need for all the crap the industry tries to sell you! Also our little dancing friends, the Fungus Gnats do not like it. I get the odd one but no colony build up. Also I have not had any systemic infections in my pots since I started using it. (at least 10 years). I have thought about Infecting a glucose solution with it, then stabilising it to favour acid conditions and using that, so I don't have to monitor the first week so closely, but I'm a stoner and I can't be arsed. I have not tried pond activator in anything but Coco. I could see problems in soil regarding control. I would deffo try in full hydo though. The outdoor plant is a chemdogging S1 it germed out in the garden in a pot I thew in the garden last Autumn. A few had popped up only this one survived the bit of snow and minus temp's of three weeks ago. I lifted it threw it in a 5 litre pot in the greenhouse. I am curious about this plant as I have a number of seed from a reversed CD. I wasn't planning to start germing outdoors for a few weeks yet, but nature has jumped the gun. Today I have the secateurs out and will start taking out the bottom branches on the plants, also inspect for bollox on everything especially the ghost trains. I did say I would get plants out and photo them, but nothing needs moving, I can leave my bending till the last as my tent is 2.2 mtrs tall so I still have a bit of room to play with. In vid the back row left to right. Wedding Cake - Bit leggy and twiggy at this stage. Main cola branch is bent over but not tied down. By the time it gets back up, the other branches will have promoted themselves a bit. This plant has good girth and its habit is very similar to a USA cut I have grown. Difficult to clone relative to the others plants in this mother hunt. 14 days every other plant clone is in a pot and feeding, wedding cake is still in the starter blocks showing nothing. Back and centre, Orangesicle Looks and grows like French Cookies, it's parent ( I have a Mother FC in another universe) A nice looking plant which fimmed well, It is the smelliest plant in the grow with a very distinct Orange aroma. 4 cuts all feeding within 14 days this plant has vigour. Back right. Maltezerz. I like the look of this plant, Habit is similar to it's GG4 parent, I am expecting a yield of this plant. It has the stem and the right look. It does have a slight chocolat Hashy smell. Easy clone. Centre left. Blue Sherbelato. Did not like being fimmed or pinched out. Did that Hazy thing where the stem stretches at the node and promotes a main growing tip out of the two or four Meristems. 2nd slowest to clone, I dont have high expectations for this plant. Centre Mid. Ghost Train Number 2 . A little weed compared to the other ghost trains. Though they are 10 days younger than the rest of the grow 1,3, and 4 have overtaken size wise the other plants in tent. I may have to get it a crate to sit on otherwise it will get swamped. It cut ok . I won't dispose of the cuts just yet. The strongest green I ever smoked came from a little weedy plant. Centre right. GTH3, Big Skunky looking plant, Long internodes, Massive leaves Another plant that didn't like pinching out. Front left GTH1 Classic Haze shape it has been bent and topped and weaved in an out of itself. Cut easy. Front Centre, GTH4, The plant with weird growth. I thought this was male for a long time. It really looks a nice plant Easy cut. Front right Scotts OG. Nice vigorous plant. 'Well behaved'. It has a smell, Spicy Hash and Cookies, interesting. Easy clone. I have A male Scotts OG, Smells very similar, He's still in a 5 inch pot and getting fed up!

Well looks like these girls are coming to an end! Around 80-90% of trichomes are cloudy, some sugar leaves are starting to get some ambers as well so I’m going to be semi-flushing with microbes and molasses for the bennies over the next couple weeks until chop! Soon after the first flush, the colors started to pop, especially on the leaves! I have also noticed the smell has really picked up, but it’s almost like a ripe fruit smell. Based on the smell I can tell these girls are getting ready for the end of their life cycle. I’m planning to chop soon after week 9 but I will allow the girls to sit in 24-48hr dark period before I do so.

It’s the 1st week of flower I flipped the plants to 12/12 a few days ago. There is a lot going on and a lot of cool and amazing things coming in the near future. Make sure to check out my YouTube page. I bought me a DJI gimbal this week. Might be my new favorite toy. The temps are starting to break for the summer. I don’t see it being very long until winter is here and it’s time to use a heater and not an ac unit. All of the plants are healthy. The plants have all grown so well I turned down the light intensity a bit today the plants didn’t seem like they was starting to strech very much. Hopefully the lower light intensity will make them strech out just a bit

HAZIRLIK Dolabı yapmak bir aydan fazla ileri sürdü; aydınlatma, havalandırması, iç kaplaması, montajı, elektrik kabloları, fişleri, soketleri, prizleri vb. Tüm bunların ardından, sonunda bitirmem ve kotiledonların görünenlerin görünmediğini gördüm. Burada yaşadığım mücadeleyi okuduğunuzda, heyecanımı ve mutluluğumu paylaştığınızı düşünüyorum… =) //LED'LER// Torch LED'leri kullanıyorum ve bu LED'ler fiziksel olarak oldukça büyük olduğu için, dolapta ciddi miktarda dikey alan kaplıyorlar. Toplam 70 cm'lik aralıklardan 50 cm'ye düşüyorlardı ve toprak birleştirmeyle yaklaşık 40 cm'ye düştü, bu da başlangıç ​​büyümesi için neredeyse hiç yer bırakmadı. Bunu çözmek için Torch LED'lerini plastik yuvalarından çıkardım ve bunları ayrı ayrı boyutlandırılmış ahşap plakaya düz bir şekilde monte ettim. Bunu yaparak yaklaşık 15 cm'lik alandan tasarruf sağladınız. Ancak dolap yapısı ve Torch LED'lerinin kendisi nedeniyle ciddi ısınma sorunlarının belirtileri. //KABİN// LED'leri açtığımda, 26,5°C'lik iç havayı alıp 37–38°C'de dışarıya atıyorlardı. Her lamba bana yaklaşık +4°C'lik bir ısı artışı sağlıyordu. Durum böyle dönemde fan kapsamını artırdım; bu sıcaklıkta yardımcı oldu, ancak daha sonra içerideki nem 35–30'a, hatta %25'e düştü. Ne yeteneğimi düşünürken, 12V çift taraflı bir Peltier modül kullanmayı planladım: soğuklukta bakır borular sararak bunu fan destekli bir sıcaklığa dönüştürdüm. Aslında işe yarayabilirdi, ancak sıcak ortamdan ısıyı uzaklaştırmak için ihtiyacım olan sistem çok hantal hale geldi. O yerde, "Büyüme hayali bitti" dedim ve vazgeçtim. Birkaç gün sonra "Neden olmasın?" diye düşündüm ve dolabı balkona taşımaya karar verdim. Sonuçta, gizliydi - kimse içinde ne olduğunu bilmeyecekti - ve balkon uydu yoluyla mükemmeldi. Dolap balkonunda olacağından, iç kısım ısıdan, yağmurdan, bölgelerden ve diğer zararlılardan tamamen yalıtılması gerekiyordu. Tüm delikleri ve ortamları sıcak silikonla kapatırım. Daha sonra ısıl işlem köpüğü yerleştirdim ve her şeyi bölme filmle kapladım. Tüm bunları yaparken termostat, ısıtıcı, nemlendirme ve vantilatör için hiçbir şey görünmemesi için tüm kablo bağlantılarını da gizledim. LED aydınlatma için tek tek veya hepsi birlikte kontrol edilebilen ayrı lamba yuvaları ekledim. Ayrıca dolap kapağı açıldığında tüm ana LED'lerin otomatik olarak söndüğü ve yalnızca küçük bir 5W LED'in açık kaldığı bir sistemim oluştu. Vantilatörü dolabın sağ üst arka köşesine monte ederek egzozu diğer noktalara yönlendirdim. Vantilatörün gücünde, negatif basınç o kadar güçlüydü ki hava yalnızca girişten katılıyordu - başka hiçbir yerde 0,001 m³ bile hava kaçağı yoktu. (Bunu hava verileri için değil, zararlıları uzak tutmak için yaptım.) //SICAKLIK VE NEM// Dolabı balkona taşındıktan sonra bu sefer ciddi bir soğukluk sorunuyla karşılaştım. Geceleri sıcaklık 8-9°C'ye düşüyor, gündüzleri ise 24-27°C'ye kadar çıkıyor. Elektrikli fanlı ısıtıcılar kullanmak istemedim çünkü havayı çok kurutuyorlar ve tehlikeliler. Peltier fikrinden ilham alarak tekrar düşünürken çözümümü bir PTC ısıtıcı kullanarak buldum. Hava bağlantıları olan iki alüminyum bloktan oluşan bir PTC ısıtma elemanı yerleştirdim ve gelen tüm havayı bu kanallardan mülkler. Sistemi 24,5°C'de açılıp 24,6°C'de kapanacak şekilde ayarladım. Bu şekilde sıcaklık sadece 1,5° tolerans içinde -24,5 ile 26,5°C arasında dalgalandı ve LED sayıları azaldıkça daha stabil hale geldi. PTC'yi termostata bağlayarak ısıtma sistemini tamamladım. Gündüz sıcaklık sorunlarının çözülmesi için, elektrikler 11:45'te kapanıp 17:45'te tekrar açılacak şekilde programladım; böylece 6 saatlik bir kesinti süresini elde ettim. Bu süre boyunca kabin yaklaşık 24°C'lik dış havayı çekiyor, maksimum 27°C'ye ulaşıyor ve ardından tekrar soğumaya başlıyor; tam da bu noktada PTC devreye giriyor. Böylece daha önceki büyük yangının sorunu tamamen çözülmüş olmuştu. Ayrıca nemlendirmeyi termostata bağlayıp %70'e ayarlayarak nem sorunu da çözülürm. Tüm bu süreci 1,5 ayımı aldı ama değdi. 1-2-3. güne kadar tek led 3. günde 10. güne kadar 3 ledide açtım ama bitkide büyüme problemi olduğunu gördüğüm için ışıkları söndürüp tek ışık 40cmden devam ettim.

Blue Cheese F1 automatic Week 6 2/9-15 The Cheese gals are in full flower, the buds are puffing out and stacking. I even see some lower buds connecting to the upper buds and some pistils are turning brown. There is some smell when I open the tent. The F1 genetics are reflected in that these 2 plants are almost identical. I don’t see much difference in their growth so far using the different mediums. Soil and soil/coco blend. Maybe harvest will show a difference in yield from each one. Time will tell. On 2/13 I did major defoliation on my Cheese gals. I removed all large fan leaves and any leaves shading bud sites. Initially, I thought this would be my last defoliation, however I have heard that 1) they continue to grow new leaves until day 20 of flower and 2) there must be enough foliage on the plant to photosynthesize energy. Well, I hope I left enough leaves for energy to keep bulking up the buds. Stretching has slowed down. Both girls grew only an inch and now 17 inches. This is only the end of flower week 2. Controller is set to flower. I add 2 gallons of water to the T700 humidifier daily to keep the VPD in line. 2/9 & 11 4 gal fed 2 liter each nutrients added at ½ of recommended amount. Making 4 gallons since I have 2 pots of carrots and a Dill in the back. Bloom Juice 45ml Plant Juice 75 ml Royal Rush 15 ml Power bud 15ml Green sensation 7.5ml Recharge 2.5ml/gal 4 ml Cal Mag 5 Ppm 333 Ph 7.02 Temp 66 2/13 5 gal Bloom Juice 60ml Plant Juice 60 ml Royal Rush 20 ml Power bud 20ml Green sensation 10ml Recharge 2.5ml/gal 4 ml Cal Mag 25 Ppm 538 Ph 6.6 Temp 66 Your likes and comments are appreciated.

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 🍃 ✌️

We have officially started low stress training this girl on June 29th. The second video is on Friday July 1st within two days she grew a good amount . As you can see in the second video she suffered a little light burn. My mistake I didn’t think she was big enough to get burnt by the light but when I went to adjust her stakes I noticed she got burnt. So I quickly fixed it and put the light farther away.

The plants are waiting for warmer weather to finally realise their potential outside. Unfortunately, it will remain very cold this week with sub-zero temperatures at night. There are no recognisable diseases, I just think they are a bit stalky. They don't need much water because evaporation is low.

11/08/2025 - Tenho regado apenas com agua mineral com ph 6.2, para não saturar mais com nutrientes. Luz tá a 100%. Agora a ver a acontecer :D 14/08/2025 - Agua e só agua xD
