Hello Diary, I'm starting a new round on my little Farm, the 18th since I started growing these beautiful plants. There are again three different Autoflowering strains at the Farm: Cherry Pie Auto, Purple Lemonade Auto and one of the legendary strains White Widow Auto. This journal will be dedicated to the Cherry Pie Automatic. To begin with, I will write a few words about Cherry Pie Auto itself. Cherry Pie Auto has an impressive family tree. As the autoflowering version of the terpene-packed Cherry Pie, this strain has close links to both Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison. These ancestors occupy opposite ends of the indica-sativa spectrum, meaning Cherry Pie Auto features a balanced genetic profile. The zingy and cerebral qualities of Durban Poison—a pure South African sativa—and the fruity terpenes of Granddaddy Purple both shine through in their fast-growing successor. Cherry Pie Auto shares many of the effects and flavors of the original cultivar. Her moderate THC content of 19% drives a mentally uplifting yet physically relaxing experience. Alongside her pleasant effects, this cultivar also serves up complex flavors of blueberry, fruit, and candy. Cherry Pie Auto grows relatively large for an auto, which equates to big yields. Indoor plants peak at 100cm and produce up to 450g/m², ready to harvest in as little as nine weeks after shoots emerge from the soil. SET-UP ON MY LITTLE FARM: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO ARAY 4 - 240W Ventilation - TT Silent-M 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan Soil - BioBizz Light - Mix Pot - 11L fabric pots Seed - Royal Queen Seeds Nutrition - RQS Organic nutrition Let's officially start the diary. 16/07/2024 Planting plants. This time I decided on 11 lit. fabric pots, my dear friends at RQS sent me these nice pots and it's not like this is my first time using them. They are great to handle and prevent me from over watering the plants. For soil, I use BioBizz's Light Mix, mixed with Easy Boost organic nutrition in the form of pellets. I put 50g of pellets on the 11 liter pot. After that I put Seeaweed, 1g/lit and finally Mycorrhiza Mix which I put 5g/lit. After that, I mixed the soil in the pot well and soaked it with water. I put Seed Booster in the water, a new product from the rich range of organic nutrients from RQS. I made a hole in the middle of a few centimeters and put a seed inside. I did the same with the other two strains and after that I put them in the grow box. 20/07/2024 In the morning I sprinkled the surface of the soil with water, not too much, and by the end of the day all three plants had sprouted. 21/07/2024 I watered the plants, I gave each approximately 1 liter of water to which I added Seed Booster again. Before that, I photographed the plants. 23/07/2024 Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. That's all from me for now, I'm looking forward to a new trip as always. See you soon.

Week 7 Day 43) Flushed again cuz ph lockout , looks like it was to low n nitrogen n calcium r getting in, also fed some recharge, also was over feeding Day 44) realizing I got so much to learn, ph lockout is fixed because the calcium rust stopped and it’s getting dark green so i think it’s good I plan to feed some bloom nutes wensday. Defiolated @ 1am and lst Day 45) hopefully her ph is balanced Day47 ) notice the rusting and dying of leaves plus nute burn, flushed again 3 gallons then gave recharge

day 20))) Defoliation day

Cal mag deffeciency. No problem I knew I would run Into it using soil nutes. Some rapid growth on most sherberts. Pink kush Is more stubborn and difficult but one of them seem to be thriving. Not sure why most pink kushs are just a bit slower. The seeds also seemed to NOT be germinating as fast as all the other strains. This is some really solid genetics so far with some rapid growth to them. Scrog installed 20 - 23 cm above the highest point of the pots. I will just them grow into the scrog and then train them into the trellis. I might raise the lights so they can stretch just a bit. Call mag issue was fixed very fast changing to Coco nutrients and i have some really healthy growth now at the end of week 4

Semana tranquila, regada solo con agua en 1 oportunidad! Temperaturas mas crontroladas No genera mucho olor la variedad, tampoco llevo muchos cultivos pero el anterior si apestaba por todos lados!

Nel frattempo che i semi Germinavano, ho pulito e disinfettato la box, ci é voluto più di un giorno, tra lavare l'argilla e lasciarla in ammollo con acqua e cloro, a pulire tutti gli accessori singolarmente e le pareti della box. Bene, adesso siamo pronti per un altro ciclo!!!

My Green Room💚😎💚

420 Fastbuds Week 5 Gorilla Punch Auto What up what up everyone. This week has been great for both plants. The bigger one has definitely transitioned into flower in hyperdrive it seems as it's flower sites are growing fast. Still no signs of issues on either plant. The smaller plant finally has started to stretch upward a bit this week. All in all I'll keep the same routine as it's working for these girls. Happy Growing

I’ll update more info after a nice cure! Update: So in conclusion. Super easy Grow. She didn’t give me any problems. Only problems were the heater torching some buds. I put her in a 7 gallon smart pot just to see what an Autoflower would do. Well she paid off and then some! Ended up with 144 grams of some primo FastBuds!00

First dose of Big Bud stacked with 3 part ph perfect waiting on that change.

March 29, 2024 Day 43 This week will focus on watering and light intensity. Training is done for the most part. At least the structures are on point. Now it's just a matter of keeping the canopy level. So far everything looks great! There's a couple branches on each plant that aren't quite as tall yet, but they are strong. I expect them to grow quickly very soon. The plants are 14" tall now and will definitely be taller by the end. If I'm right, I should get a height of 24" to 36" total. Unless both stunt somehow, but I don't think so. Anyway, just by the health and current growth time and amount, I can expect some robust plants. The buds are going to be super heavy. Just by looking at the bud structure now, tells me I'm going to have to fat dense and sticky weedy do. I changed the lighting as I was scheduled to do today. The light was at 22" from the plants growth. For the week, I reset the light height back to 24" and increased the light power back up to 90%. The DLI is 44 mol/m²/d. PAR should be around 675 ppfd. However, as I said at the beginning of the grow, I focus on DLI over everything else. PAR is fine, I just prefer the DLI. It tells me more I think. As it's a new week, watering needed some maintenance. I cleaned out the other reservoir and filled it up with the new nutrient regimen. That includes the B-52 today and Sensizym next watering for when it gets here. I had to look up a good feeding schedule specifically for autoflowers and advanced nutrients. As the time is all wrong with BudLabs. It's designed for Photoperiods only. So things needed to be adjusted. For example, I'll be starting Big Bud later this week as it calls for week 2 of flower with a photoperiod. But the schedule I found makes more sense and calls for the Big Bud a week earlier. Anyway, it's a good schedule. Just makes sense. The environment will be staying the same this week. 77° and 55%. In the next 2 weeks, I'll drop the temp down to 75° with the humidity at 50%. Then I'll drop it weekly until I get to the final week. I'll drop the temp down to 73° and the humidity down to 40%. 35% if I can manage. However, I'm not all that worried about 40% to 45%. The space is extremely clean and the room itself is really dry. So no worries. So, now that the auxiliary branches are just as tall as the side branches, Banana Purple Punch B has an extremely level canopy. The branches have all caught up to the top and everything is looking great! Banana Purple Punch A is doing the exact same thing. They are both the same height. I wonder if that is the plants keeping up with each other. Like a reaction to the other plants in the tent? Who knows. This is my first completely level canopy for all 4 plants. Very happy so far. As long as none of them take off, we should see a beautiful ocean of fat buds throughout the whole tent. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.0° RH: 53.8% VPD: 1.38 kPa March 30, 2024 Some notable information today. I'm very curious about this, so if anyone knows what's up, leave me a comment. Thanks! Banana Purple Punch A is taking in way more water than Banana Purple Punch B. I believe now it has to do with the roots. The bottom of the container for Banana Purple Punch A is FILLED with roots, while Banana Purple Punch B doesn't have any roots showing yet except for the bottom outside of the container. I thought the roots would have shown up by now. The thing is though, Banana Purple Punch A is still roughly the same height as the rest of the plants in the tent, but clearly is further along than the rest. Not saying she isn't growing, she is. It's just that she should be stretching like crazy right now and she isn't. The canopy is staying level. I will say that the Tropicana Cookies sharing the tent is slight taller and stretchier. It's ok though, the SCroG net is going up at 18" from the container base. Anyway, it's kind of confusing how these two plants are growing in such a different way, but not any bigger or smaller than the other. Insight please. Lol. Both ladies got a haircut today. Just clearing out the massive leaves that grew and some of the outside leaves to keep them in their own quadrant. It worked wonders. No stress, no issues so far that I can see. I also had to lift the light a couple inches today. The DLI was actually a bit higher than I wanted and it showed last night with one of the plants. A bit droopy before lights out. That tells me there's too much light in that one quadrant. So the light went up to 25" from the canopy. I could drop the power level, but I really like this footprint. Dead center of the tent is around 48 mol/m²/d while the outside is at 43 mol/m²/d. What a spread. Honestly though, I really want a bar style light setup. One for a 4x4 so it fills the whole 3x3 tent. Back to watering. Banana Purple Punch A got a full gallon today. She's drinking a half gallon a day now. I also realized the nutrient schedule I'm using doesn't have the Tasty Terpenes in it. So I started that today as well as the big bud. I also increased the Cal/Mag dose from 4 ml to 8 ml. Big Bud and Tasty Terpenes are both at 4 ml/gal. I also added this week's dose of Recharge. HOWEVER... The PH was Way off. Down to 5.4, so I dosed the shit out of it with PH Up. I got to 6.18 and that's where I stopped. The nutrients are supposed to be PH Perfect, but adding something slammed it down. So I'll start to PH before adding nutrients. Then I hopefully won't have to dump 3 ml of PH Up in a gallon of water. However, I will say the PH in our tap water is ridiculously high at like 8.2, so that may be a factor. But shouldn't the high PH balance out the PH with nutrients? No real clue what happened. It doesn't make sense. It definitely has to be one of the new nutrients. When I do another mix, I'll PH after each nutrient. That way I can see which nutrient is messing up my perfection. I've also read that a PH of 6.5 to 7 is ideal for the flowering stage. Is this correct? If so, how the hell do I get the PH to increase more? Or is my PH meter out of calibration? Damn, things I need to learn. Moving on. The environment is a bit off. The temp is kinda high at 79.5°. However, the humidity is perfect at 55%. Unfortunately the temp is throwing the VPD way off. It's now 1.50 kPa where it should be around 1.33 kPa. I'm trying to fix it, but it takes time. It should be fine by this afternoon. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.9° RH: 54.5% VPD: 1.35 kPa March 31, 2024 Not much to do today. The plants are doing their thing. Banana Purple Punch A drank about a half gallon from yesterday's reservoir top off. She'll definitely need to be watered tomorrow though. In which case I'll be adding the Sensizym. However, Banana Purple Punch B needs a reservoir refill today. Not first thing, but maybe just after noon. The reservoir is nearly empty, not enough to fill, but enough to be completely dry tomorrow. That can't happen with this system, so I'll have to refill today. I'd also like to note the lack of roots on Banana Purple Punch B. There are none. I'm really confused now. One would think the roots would be through by now. I hope they didn't just stop there. Hopefully I start seeing them in the next couple days. Banana Purple Punch A has roots through everywhere. Honestly, it seems as though growing in my setup with my techniques extends the veg time. That's the only thing I can think of. The lack of roots shows lack of growth. But it's an Indica dominant phenotype. Maybe the root system just takes longer. But she's definitely in flower. Still waiting for the stretch to start, by the way. They are both 14.5" now with yesterday being 14". That's not stretching. I seriously cannot have small and big plants together in this size tent. Maybe if it were a 4x4, it would be fine, but a 3x3 is much smaller... Weirdly enough.... and for 4 plants, there just isn't that type of space. I'll will absolutely implement the SCroG net if things get out of control. I'd rather not use it yet though. I still want to be able to pull them out and clean out the reservoirs and check over each plant thoroughly. At least until I need the net. But really only to keep the tops from falling over. But training has stopped for these ladies. I don't have anymore horizontal space to train them out. But I have plenty of vertical space. Maybe they will only grow to 24" after all. We shall see. Either way, I'm going for quality, so regardless of the size, everything is in order. Maybe they average on the smaller side. Still, they have really packed buds already popping up. They will definitely be super dense. I didn't move the light today. No point. The plants are very happy and reaching slightly. Just a nice little prayer. The environment is really good. Sticking at 55% humidity and the temp has been steady between 76° and 79°. Very nice. The VPD is happy as well. Grow System Environment: Temp: 77.4° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.43 kPa April 1, 2024 Not much to do today. Banana Purple Punch A got her full gallon top off. I also got the Sensizym in so that went in as well. Also, I need to calibrate my PH meter. It seems to be reading low. Maybe. It's reading 5.4 with PH Perfect Nutrients. I also added a full 1 ml of PH up. It brought it up to 5.49. No idea what's happening. Both plants grew a couple inches last night. Now they are at 16" tall. Let the stretch begin! Banana Purple Punch B is just hanging out. Still not drinking as much as her sister plant, but still very healthy and happy. The roots aren't showing either. Still confused by that. I had to cut a couple leaves off each plant today. Just a bit of overcrowding. Like 2 leaves each. Not much, obviously, but it's still important to notate. And good to keep up with the leaf coverage. I raised the light nearly 2" today. It was too close, and the DLI was close to 50 mol/m²/d with the center being 58 mol/m²/d. Now the DLI is sitting pretty at 45 mol/m²/d with the inside being closer to 50 mol/m²/d. However, I have an advantage. The center of the tent is not filled in totally. I did this on purpose to keep the light intensity fairly even throughout the canopy. (I really need to get a bar style light.) The environment is pretty good today. It's a smidge off. The temp is cooler at 75° with the humidity being closer to 58%. So the VPD is slightly off at 1.20 kPa. It should adjust accordingly in the next few hours as it has been. However, the daily average is right on point. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 2, 2024 A bit to do today. No watering or anything, but I did some defoliation and raised the light an inch. Banana Purple Punch A got a bit more trimmed off than I had originally intended, but I wasn't off by the mark completely. So it should be all good. She also grew another 2 or so inches and is now a bit taller than her sister plant at 19". Not much, but enough for me to notice. She looks great! Roots galore, beautiful green color. Fat buds and a wonderful aroma. She is 19" and still stretching. Let's see what she turns out to be. Banana Purple Punch B also got a haircut. She definitely needed it. In 2 days, she completely filled back out and needed to be opened up a bit. As I said before, I have stopped training, so if she doesn't catch up, which she may, I'll have to lift her up to the canopy. She's 18" now. An inch or so shorter than Banana Purple Punch A. However, she finally has roots showing throughout the bottom of the container. Nothing crazy, but lots of them popping up. It should be a matter of a couple days and those roots should be pretty long and sucking in water like crazy. Maybe not as much as her sister plant, but much more than she is now. Also, I think she may end up being a much more robust plant than her Banana Purple Punch A. The roots took longer to hit bottom and that may mean the root ball is already massive. That being said, I can hopefully expect her to take off and catch up to the rest of the occupants in the tent. Like she's setting up to stretch. The light definitely needed to be raised again. It was all the way down to 22". I may raise it again if I don't see praying. Anyway, I dropped the DLI back down to roughly 45 mol/m²/d. It should be good now. But may be a tiny bit too high. I'll see what happens in the next couple hours. The environment is pretty good today with the temp hovering around 76° and the humidity at 55%. The average for the day looks great as well. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 58.2% VPD: 1.18 kPa April 3, 2024 Today has been enlightening. The plants weren't reaching this morning. That meant the light was too close. So I lifted it up AGAIN. I'm running out of space between the light and the exhaust fan. I still have a good 6" or so left. I can also lower the power level if need be. Both ladies got reservoir refills today. Banana Purple Punch A was still a out half full, but Banana Purple Punch B was empty. So now that they are the same level and seem to be drinking roughly the same amount now, they should drink evenly now. Banana Purple Punch A is about 21" with Banana Purple Punch B slightly behind at 20". Either way, they are growing quite nicely. The stretch is in full swing now. I may have to put the SCroG up afterall. Some of the tops in the canopy are starting to take off. I'll install it tomorrow when my side bar support gets here. The lighting, as I said, needed to be raised up again. The DLI was up to 50 mol/m²/d and now I have it back down to 45 mol/m²/d. I also have the light distance just above to 24". Should be good for now. The environment is a bit off today. It's raining and the humidity is a bit high even with the dehumidifier on. The humidity is stuck around 59% with the temp staying around 75°. Hopefully it adjusts in the next couple hours. I may have to turn my main dehumidifier on. It doesn't work the best, but it should be fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa April 4, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I got my side bars in and mounted the SCroG net. Some of the tops are noticably taller than the others, so they needed to be taken care of. No watering today. The reservoirs still have water in them. They might not need water tomorrow. I'll see how things go. I didn't move the light today as I am pushing the tops down some. I may have to turn the power down a bit if they stretch as tall as I hope, but that would be a good thing. I'll just make sure to use the supplemental lighting I have for the tent. The environment is actually pretty good today. The temp is 76° and the humidity is at 55%. The VPD is basically perfect at 1.33 kPa. So everything looks pretty good from here. I'll start dropping the humidity down more in a week or so. Just after the stretch. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 54.8% VPD: 1.33 kPa

Muy buenas gente, espero que hayáis pasado una buena semana, otra más estamos por aquí, mostrando como van cogiendo peso nuestras flores, y ya exhibiendo sus intensos olores!😍 Hemos rebajado la dosis del fertilizante Basis, y empezado a aportarle el fertilizante Ultimate PK (proporciona a la planta todos los nutrientes que necesita durante la maduración para una mayor cantidad de fruto, una estructura celular fuerte y el mejor sabor y aroma posibles). Espero que este trabajo sirva para ayudar a alguien, y mejorar esta comunidad de growner! Un abrazo y espero veros la semana que viene!🙌🙌

My first grow has been a great learning experience, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the reliable BioBizz soil and nutrients to the impressive performance of the Spider Farmer SF 1000, everything worked well together. Each component contributed to a successful harvest, and I’m excited to continue experimenting and improving my setup with new gear and techniques. 💚☀️🤙🏼

24/01/2024 Spread her out! Time for the show. Welcome to my "Barrel Of Laughs" look what shes grown in lol 25/01/2024 Lights on and moved the pot to the left side of the tent, then sorted out the canopy with the scrog! Fed her with extra seaweed to the mix. Unfortunately, she got burnt. I made the mistake of moving the light too close, overfeeding, and overusing 12% food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Conclusion: Well, onwards and upwards! I need to sort this out. Since I used hydrogen peroxide, flushing is a bad idea. I don't want to reactivate what's settled in the leaves and soil until it's no longer active. I removed all the badly damaged leaves, likening it to a necessary amputation, but luckily I'm at the early stages of flower. I'll keep a close eye on her. 25/01/2024 Mid-day Not looking good; the new growth is the same after the flush. 25/01/2024 Lights out! Can't believe I spoiled the grow, but she'll hopefully recover. The lights, particularly the sk600 and Cropmaster, are too intense and powerful. I'm wiring up a dimmer switch to reduce it to 420 watts. The Cropmaster will be removed until maturity as having over 1000 watts of LED in a small tent is too much. 26/01/2024 Mid-day Check Time! She's looking a lot better. Taking photos is a good calf workout and lower back exercise when shooting at 0.6x at 12m. There are positives to all the negative occurrences during the growing, raising, and breeding of these plants. Weed can inspire creativity, debate, contemplation, and intelligence. It's important to focus on the positive aspects these plants can bring. 26/01/2024 Temps are more normal now since removing the Cropmaster, which was very powerful. Sleepy time: 24-25°C; Daytime: 27-28°C. 27/01/2024 In recovery and doing well. Bright moon tonight. Mid-Day: She's now ready for the full tilt. I've slowly guided the colas out and all the branches looked similar in size, which is why she's ready to grow straight up. There will be a beautiful green screen underneath! I'll coin this technique 'The SpaceProvider' as it maximizes the canopy and undergrowth space. It took me two hours to sort this tonight, and she will straighten up properly in three days. The dimmer didn't work due to incorrect volts, but I managed to reduce the light to 10% today by tapping its relay wires. Mid-day: Looking a bit better. I sorted a few branches out to rearrange and ensure they will grow straight. There are definitely no free radicals left in this plant, and the fresh new growth is a positive sign. 24/01/2024 Preparing for upcoming growth spurt during flowering phase. 25/01/2024 Adjusted the scrog to accommodate the impending growth spurt. Allowing the plant to stretch freely. Will need to reposition a few colas as needed but expecting smooth sailing from here onward. Late-day temperature check: 27-28°C. 26/01/2024 Daytime temperature inside the tent remains in the 27-28°C range, similar to pre-Cropmaster lighting. Planning to implement the Cropmaster light closer to the bloom phase as we have a way to go. Committed to only guiding the upward growth and not interfering with the flowers. Each bud requires a leaf for optimal growth. Embracing a playful wordplay: "I will need to leave the flowers alone, just a little friendly play of words." I'm looking through the window, the window to your heart! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nw_ob4IeOo 27/01/2024 That was a lot of supercropping today, my goodness! Even my thumb and index fingers are aching now, but hey, thumbs up for a job well done; I'll store that in my mental index book to reminisce about later when it's all over to click through! Peaceful mind 🧠, at least the canopy will be flat, unlike my occasionally bouncy head - Slowly walks quietly away to Mediate. It looks like it'll add an extra week to the harvest date. Instead of the 8th of February, we're looking at the 15th to 17th of February for when she'll be ready, but you just can't predict with Hazes; they seem to need like 13 weeks at times. I mean, March for harvest 😆. I'm no comedian, but everyone seems to be laughing at me now. Sometimes, we have to poke fun at ourselves; it's good for the spirit 👏 🙌 ✨" "I've got two extractor fans set up, one bringing in clean air and the other pushing it out. Yesterday I noticed that the extractor out fan was off before bed, due to the weight of the cables pulling it loose. The kettle lead must have come loose, but it's all sorted now." "I know what you might be thinking; he's going to get popcorn nugs by fussing and stressing the plant in the early stages of flowering. I did mention in the article that there might be a little risk, with a pun about nuggets. Honestly, I believe I'll still yield 1lb just because of the light and growing technique used, and the extended time in long veg." I accomplished what i stated using this DIY Budmaster GoD 9 250w for the vegetative stage and 450w for flowering, drawing only 320w wall power, achieving a yield of 11 ounces. Conversely, the SK600 draws 610 watts from the wall. If I can avoid further mistakes and ensure proper feeding during maturity, I anticipate a minimum of 18 ounces. With over 80 colas, the close proximity to the light, and abundant breathing space, I've developed a unique growing technique which I've dubbed "The Space Provider," due to its ability to ensure every corner of the tent is utilized for cola growth. As a shorter version, I've considered naming it "SpaceyPro." 🤔 Bring in the reflective mylar mat for under her! *_______________*_____________*_______________* #A Brief Article Summary of This Week's Discussions & Disasters! ______________________________________________ Title: From Defoliation Disaster to Cannabis Cultivation Wisdom: A Cannabis Grower's Saga So, there I was, thinking of performing a routine defoliation on my prized Forgotten Haze Cakes, a 100% sativa strain with a long flowering period from Terpzy Mutant genetics and feminized seeds. Little did I know that this seemingly simple task would unleash a comedy of errors, leading me to discover the vital importance of precision in organic cannabis cultivation. As I lovingly tended to my plants, I reached for some hydrogen peroxide - 12% food-grade, of course - to keep everything clean and healthy. After all, research has taught me that using hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial in preventing root diseases and promoting healthy root growth. However, in a classic case of good intentions gone haywire, my well-meaning application ended up in a rather unexpected chemical reaction. Who knew that bacteria from my hands and a bit too much light would turn my peaceful grow operation into a psychedelic mishap? As I gazed in bewilderment at the unexpected brown shading on the leaves, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. It was as if my plants had suddenly developed a rebellious streak and decided to rebel against my well-intentioned care. I mean, really, who needs a science experiment when you have cannabis plants with their own flair for drama? Unraveling the aftermath of this defoliation debacle, I realized that beneath the chaos lay a valuable lesson in the art of cannabis cultivation. Precision, my friends, is the secret ingredient. It's all about applying the proper measurements and foreseeing the potential consequences before diving headfirst into the world of organic plant growing. Now, about using hydrogen peroxide on cannabis plants, it's crucial to dilute it properly. A popular recommendation is to prepare a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with water in a 1:5 ratio for watering your plants. This provides the benefits of oxygenation at the root zone without harming the plants. Timing is also essential; it's typically recommended to administer the hydrogen peroxide solution during the watering schedule, ensuring that the roots receive adequate oxygenation for healthy growth. Following this incident, I delved deeper into my research, seeking advice from seasoned growers and multiple reputable sources. The experience instilled in me the importance of thorough investigation and informed decision-making when it comes to plant care. I learned that even the most well-intentioned actions can have surprising outcomes, but with extensive research and knowledge, one can minimize the chances of such mishaps. To complement the hydrogen peroxide, I also learned the benefits of diatomaceous earth, natural and effective pest control and soil amendment. After researching extensively, I discovered that applying a thin layer of diatomaceous earth to the soil surface helps deter pests like aphids, mites, and other unwanted visitors while promoting healthy root development. To apply diatomaceous earth, lightly dust it around the base of the plants and on the soil surface, taking care to avoid excessive buildup. As I embraced the twists and turns of this growing process, I couldn't help but ponder the amusing parallels between cannabis cultivation and life itself. We all aim and miss at times, but it's all part of the growth process - mind the pun. Just as in cultivating cannabis, it's essential to adapt, learn from our experiences, and continually strive for improvement. In the midst of all the chaos, amidst the pre-flowering stage of my beloved Forgotten Haze Cakes, I found myself inadvertently learning the intricate needs of my plants. And what a wild journey it has been! I can't help but see the humor in it all. After all, every mishap has its own little nugget of wisdom, right? Now, armed with this newfound insight, I plan to pass on this treasure trove of knowledge to fellow growers and those venturing into the enchanting world of cannabis cultivation. Precision, chemical reaction unpredictability, and the foresight to foresee potential consequences - these are the valuable gems I've gathered from this unpredictable turn of events. So, to all the aspiring cannabis cultivators out there, remember - every mishap holds a lesson. Embrace the unexpected, learn from your plants, and be ready for a surprise twist in your grow. Who knows, it might just turn your next gaffe into a hilarious story to share with your fellow cannabis enthusiasts! In the end, what started as a defoliation disaster has blossomed into a valuable experience, reminding me that even in the wildest of mishaps, there's a silver lining or, should I say, a luscious green lining? In the aftermath of the hydrogen peroxide mishap, a deeper understanding of the science behind its effects on the plants unfolded. Hydrogen peroxide, often used as a root boost and cleaner during or after feeds, should be approached cautiously in organic cultivation. When used inappropriately, it can have unintended and adverse effects on the delicate ecosystem of the cannabis garden. The chemical composition of hydrogen peroxide causes it to act as an oxidizer, releasing oxygen upon degradation. This reaction can be beneficial in certain contexts, such as in soil aeriation, but if incorrectly applied, it can result in detrimental outcomes. During the mishap, the hydrogen peroxide inadvertently reacted with micro metals in the diatomaceous earth, which was being used as animal food grade. This led to an unexpected chain reaction, causing the release of free radicals and a bleaching effect on the plants' leaves. Additionally, the application of hydrogen peroxide resulted in the burning of bacteria present on and within the leaf veins. This process, similar to the effect of light burn, contributed to the browning and twisting of the leaves. When leaves are exposed to excessive light or heat, they can become brown and subsequently twist up, exhibiting signs of distress. These combined effects not only altered the aesthetic appearance of the plants but also had a profound impact on their nutrient uptake, as I had elaborated upon earlier in the article. The intricate interplay of chemical reactions and biological processes within the cannabis garden underscores the necessity for precision and comprehensive knowledge in organic cultivation practices. It is a compelling reminder that every action, every component introduced to the garden, must be carefully considered for its potential consequences. The delicate balance of life within the ecosystem demands an astute understanding of the science behind each element employed in cultivation practices. This incident, though initially wrought with challenges, has ultimately deepened my comprehension of the nuanced relationship between the cannabis plants and their environment. It underscores the profound interconnectedness of the elements at play within the garden and serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the cannabis plants.

I herd these sheep like ''Houghton heard a WHOOoo?'' . 30/01/2024 Sorted out the colas and arranged them freely as they grow naturally. One or two haven't fully healed from supercroping the other day, tied them up for support. Took off the main ties holding the stems back. Will keep a close eye on her pull on the Scrog during week 11. She's in her finally state now, ready to grow and bloom. Few of the flowers are showing signs of fresh new pistils. ''Crash & Sonic: Did a Dashing, Smashing Job Cleaning up'' Applied a fresh layer of top soil and 4 Litres of Distilled Water with Hydrogen Peroxide 1:5. Did a Spray Feed with Aloe Pro Natural Nutes 1;5. 30/01/2024 Mid-day: Spread her out more and re arranged again. I need to leave this plant alone. I will prefect this growing technique, I see a few mistakes I made on guiding her, rushed it a little. Can't wait to see the back-end of this plant though, lol. All the mistakes are my fault, not the plant's obviously, but you know how it goes in the garden. Little voice: "I'm taking stock of all the errors and looking to learn from them. I know I've made some missteps with my organic soil and feeding schedule, and it's time to address these issues before my next attempt" I think the timing of my feeding schedule and letting the soil dry out has been off, which may have led to the proliferation of bad bacteria in the soil. Additionally, I suspect that the wire I've been using may be causing the plant to react negatively, resulting in what looks like a poison-induced response on her stalks and stems. I've also noticed some open wounds from overdone supercropping on my part. Researching on Cannabis Organic Soil Making: After some research, I've found that making quality organic soil for cannabis cultivation requires a deep understanding of soil composition, nutrient cycles, and microbial activity. Using organic compost is essential to provide the right blend of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to support the plant's growth. By making my own organic compost, I can ensure that it's free from any harmful contaminants and tailored to the specific needs of cannabis plants. Furthermore, I've learned that the soil needs to be well-aerated to ensure proper drainage and air circulation for the roots. This is important for maintaining a healthy microbial population in the soil, which facilitates nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It seems that my soil may have become compacted and lacking proper aeration, which could be contributing to the issues I've been experiencing. According to my research, the feeding schedule for cannabis plants is crucial, especially when working with organic soil. I've realized that I need to be more attentive to the timing and frequency of feeding to prevent the soil from drying out excessively, as this can disrupt the balance of beneficial microorganisms. From what I've read, trying to maintain a consistent moisture level in the soil is key to ensuring the well-being of these microorganisms, which in turn supports the health of the plants. Concerning the use of wire, I've come to understand that certain materials can have negative effects on plants. In my case, it seems that the wire I've been using may be leaching harmful substances into the soil, resulting in the plant's adverse reaction. I'll need to look for alternative methods for supporting the plants to avoid any further issues. Dealing with a Sensitive Haze Strain: I've also discovered that the Haze strain I've chosen to grow can be quite sensitive to its environment and feeding regimen. This can make it more prone to reacting negatively to any irregularities or contaminants in the soil. I've definitely underestimated the level of care and attention this strain requires, especially when it comes to feeding. This is a valuable lesson to keep in mind for my future growing endeavors. Moving Forward: Taking this step back and doing the research has shed a lot of light on the mistakes I may have made. Going forward, I plan to make necessary adjustments to my approach. Firstly, I'm going to focus on creating a high-quality organic compost to ensure that the soil is rich in beneficial microbes and free from any harmful substances. I'll pay close attention to the moisture levels and aeration of the soil, as well as refining my feeding schedule to better suit the needs of the sensitive Haze strain. In addition, I'll seek out alternatives to the wire support I've been using, to eliminate any potential sources of contamination for the plant. In conclusion, I'm encouraged by the opportunity to learn from these challenges and improve my growing techniques. As frustrating as it can be to face setbacks, I believe that overcoming them will ultimately make me a better grower. I'm looking forward to applying these insights and making the necessary changes in my approach to achieve better results in the futurE. 31/01/2024 Midnight for the plant time: I've lowered temps: 21c at night, 24C Daytime: should help will healing and recovery. I'll be checking in again next week – hopefully! See you all then! Let's go!" ___________________________________ 1. Why did the Forgotten Haze Cake weed stalk get arrested?

Les bourgeons commence à avoir de la couleur purple.

Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week, I believe the stretch pre-flower phase is over for both of these Phenos! They are now begining to really stack on those nugs. Number 1 has been on its same purple kick and appears to be purple to it's core! Both Phenos are showing long pistils hairs and have already began to build some trichome shelves! #1 still prays very hard daily, while #2 holds its leaves upright but not over a flat plane ever. I gave another 1/4 cup of build a flower to each plant, and a 1/4 tsp of TM-7 today. Today I went through and defoliated some stray leaves and really underdeveloped branches. The smells while I was doing this, were fantastic; like a smarties or sweet tart candy, but not runtzy it's very hard to describe. Definitely excited for the upcoming weeks! I'll be pushing the lights to 100% this week, pulling 400w from the wall for the stacking/bulking weeks! Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- This week the #2 clones were topped, so now all the clones in the tent have been topped once. The branch growth has improved and they took it well! The weather is getting warmer, so keeping the tent well ventilated is key. I did notice a few springtails walking along the edge of one of my pots today, so I plan to treat this with Wettable Sulfur tonight. I have read these are not the worst pest to have by any means, but you definitely want to keep the population under control at the least! I went ahead and put one of the #1 clones back in the mini tent to make some space in the 55 inch. It was starting to get a little crowded. I'm hoping these clones don't have any genetic drift and I can preserve these genetics for runs to come! Catch you Next Week, Happy growing and thanks for checking on my grow -StarFish

hey guys sorry for the absence but in this period I have had a lot to do with my work and I have not been able to bring a good detailed diary, but finally now the holidays will start and I will be able to dedicate myself 110% to a new crop and new ones diaries. having said that, I think I will leave him a week at the most and finally reap the benefits 💚🌳💚🌳maybe my fault the RQS slow release nutrients did not perform as much as the ADVs in my tent, you can see it from the video of 27/07/22 where you can see that 2 out of 6 plants are visually leaner and less compact to the touch , I wanted to try on the same varieties in order to have feedback. I think it could also be caused by the crowding of the tent but with the ADV I have not encountered any problems. I will definitely try them again, giving them much more attention.

Flower week 5. Packing on weight!
