Big Fat Wedding Cake has been switched to just ph water. I did burn her with too much nutrition. Half my plants loved the dose, and the other half didn't. Overall she has grown great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights. The colas are frosty and smell good. Mt next update will be her harvest. I reduced light strength to 60 percent as well.

Purple Hints & Tent Transitions 🌸🌿 Week 4 of flower has arrived for my big Red Hot Cookies, and she’s now two weeks into her new life under the LED lights. After battling unpredictable weather out on the balcony, I made the call to bring her inside—and honestly, I don’t regret it one bit. The transition may have slowed her down a little, but it’s a much safer bet than letting her face another round of rainy chaos. 🌧️☔ She shares the tent with two Divine Seeds autos from the contest, so the light schedule remains at 16/8, which isn’t ideal for photoperiod flowering—but I’m curious to see how she handles it. Despite the slightly delayed bud development, I’m seeing some beautiful structure forming and her leaves have started to take on those signature purple hues. 🍇💜 Here’s her care routine this week: 🔸 Fed with BioBizz Grow, CalMag, BioBizz Bloom and BioBizz Top-Max 🔸 Effective Microorganisms to keep the soil biology strong 🔸 A dose of homebrewed compost tea midweek 🔸 Silica foliar spray was stopped when flowering began 🔸 pH: 6.5 🔸 EC: 2.2 mS/cm I also did a round of lollipopping on day 21 (July 10th), and she’s stayed nice and airy underneath since then. Still waiting for the upper buds to really start packing on weight, but there’s plenty of time—and I’m loving the color shifts and her elegant frame. Let’s see what the next few weeks bring as she fully settles into bloom under the tent glow. 🌞✨

Had a productive week for growth and made a few improvements. Bud development has been great this week. The buds are filling in the gaps mostly and creating nice colas. My plan is for the next 2 weeks to feed AN Overdrive. Then flush for 2 weeks i think. She is very sticky and has a sweet smell of candy grape. Still not a blast of smell when i open the tent but smelling her close she's sweet :D I re tied all the outside colas to make them have even spacing again. The red poles were in need of some better reflection so i foil taped them. The sealed box for my carbon filter was made when i was using the cfl. The way i needed to hang the light meant the outlet from the sealed box into the tent could only be 4 inches in diameter. With the Cob Led, it's attached on the side poles, so decided to max out the outlet. It is the full 6inches and cooling is more efficient now. (Maybe i should try origarmi) The black clip on fan was touching the tent so not drawing air as well. Also made an annoying vibration if touching the tent wall. I used the extender i had on the side vertically and mounted it horizontaly. Has opened the tent out a bit and have free space behind the fan. Have add photos of all improvements. Checked on the outdoor grow and is looking good. Did improvements on it last week by adding a 'gate'. Had spotted deer when visiting previously so didn't want to take any chances. Attached photos from visit yesterday. Video is from week before when i did the gate and surround supports. Left plant Glue Gelato Auto is my friends. It's the same age as my Wed Cake but grown outdoors it's whole life. Right plant is Purple Punch auto which is mine. 4 weeks younger than my Wed Cake and Glue Gelato but started indoors and then planted outdoors. This spot was only for 1 plant originally but after the situation from the other spot we had to take the GG there. Thanks for checking my diary See you next week and happy growing

11 Sep 2021 Today starts week 2 of the flowering stage and week 10 of life for my lovely Ladies. I did some massive defoliation and pruning the other day and all three of my babies are looking amazing afterwards!! Absolutely beautiful! I have a short video log (I’m not cool enough to call it a vlog), and a few pictures to upload to start this week. I must admit that I really thought I may have overdone the defoliation and pruning, but so far it’s turning out exactly as I had hoped. There are budlets forming at every node, and all three plants are looking healthy and strong. I decided to look at my feed chart and to count backwards from the date that they should be ready for harvest and to arrange their feeding schedule. I made a plan where I can provide a good steady level of nutrients in the proper stage of growth, and schedule time for the flush to be done by the time harvest time arrives. So today I started the Mid-Bloom stage 4 of my Flora-Trio 6 part feeding chart. I’m still giving half the nutrient level until I know there are no issues, then I will adjust to full strength if necessary. At 50% strength each plant was given: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.4ml, FloraGro 2ml, FloraBloom 4.2ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml mixed into a gallon of water. The initial pH for all three gallons was 6.3. I wanted to adjust them up, so I added 1.2ml of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted them as follows: C1 - 6.7, and C2/C3 were both adjusted to 6.6. I still don’t have a replacement TDS meter, so only pH was measured in the runoff. Runoff pH was as follows: C1 - 5.9, C2 - 6.1, and C3 - 5.8. The runoff levels of C1 and C3 are still lower than id like, but still manageable. As I mentioned several times above; my plants are looking great, and I plan to keep growing them as they are until this method needs to be adjusted or changed. I’m just letting them grow wild. Granted, I’m trying my best for them to grow the way I want, but I’m not using a support net at all (yet). I say (yet), because once the buds start to bulk up, they may need support to stand upright. If that day comes, I’ll use the net. Time will tell. The temperature in the tent was 82F, and the humidity was 45%. So far my trio is growing beautifully! Enjoy everyone! I am!! 14 Sep 2021 I ended up using only about half of each gallon the other day, so today I gave the rest of each gallon to the perspective plant it belonged to. None of the plants had any real runoff from the amount given today, so I’ll probably start feeding every two days instead of every 3-4. It happens with each grow. The trick is to identify how much they need, and how often. It seems to change with every plant. So as I stated above; each plant received about 1/2 gallon of water and nutrients that was prepared a few days ago. Each plant received CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.4ml, FloraGro 2ml, FloraBloom 4.2ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The pH going in was: C1 - 6.7, C2/C3 - 6.6. As I said above, there wasn’t enough runoff to measure, so I don’t have runoff data today. The temperature in the tent was 84F, and humidity was 57%. I measured each plant and adjusted the lights according to their growth. C1 is now 23 inches tall, C2/C3 are both 23.5 inches tall. I adjusted the lights to all be 15 inches over each plant. Light spill off is still awesome for all three plants, and each one of my lovely ladies is looking absolutely amazing! 15 Sep 2021 My plants are doing AWESOME!! I looked in on them a little earlier today and just sat in my floor and looked at them. They are doing amazing! Absolutely beautiful!! I have used a support (scrog) net for each of my grows so far; till this one. At least so far that is. I may end up putting it in to support the branches once they are loaded with bud, but for right now I have just let them grow as they naturally want too. Of course there are some exceptions to that last statement. At the end of my first week of flower I decided to defoliate and prune them down. I did so much defoliation and pruning that I thought I may have hurt my girls, but nope! They have responded even better than I had hoped. I trimmed off all of the lowest branches that weren’t already long enough to get full light exposure, as well as most of the small intermediate branches growing off of more established branches. The result… every node growing on every branch is developing buds! All of them are getting full light exposure, and ventilation from the fans inside the grow room. These three are looking better than any of my previous plants thus far. I am very pleased with how they’re doing! I’m feeding again today because what I gave them yesterday just didn’t seem sufficient. None of them had any runoff to measure; so I’m going to make sure that they do as well as possible! I’m sticking with the mid-bloom stage 4 of my Flora-Trio 6 part feeding chart at 50% of recommended levels. My plants are doing great at 50% strength so far, so if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it! No deficiencies have been seen, so I’ll keep on keeping on that. Each plant received a mixture of a gallon of water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.4ml, FloraGro 2ml, FloraBloom 4.2ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. C1 and C2 didn’t take the whole gallon, but about 3/4 of it. C3 took the whole gallon, but that may be because it is in a bigger pot. The initial pH of each was: C1 - 6.4, C2 - 6.5, and C3 - 6.3. I added pH UP to each as follows: C1 - 2ml, which adjusted to a final pH of 6.7. C2 - 1ml, which adjusted to 6.9, and C3 - 1.5ml, which adjusted to 6.6. I still haven’t gotten another TDS meter, so no TDS data to report. Runoff for all three plants was lower than I expected. C1 was 5.8, and C2/C3 were 5.7. I really expected them to be near 6.2 or thereabouts, but nope. I’m going to have to keep an eye on that. The humidity today was 65%, which is pretty good. The temperature in the tent was 84F. It was over 90F outside today, so hot outside = hot in the tent. 🤷‍♂️ They’re still looking great! Happy growing everyone!

Sigo pulverizando cada dia un par o tres veces con agua destilada y regando a ojo las que voy viendo secas cada dos más o menos. No son ciencias exactas y unas demandan más o menos segun fenotipo , el sitio donde están dentro del armario, por el riego anterior por si fué excesivo o insuficiente, etc etc . La idea es regar cuando veo que lo necesitan. regar y dejar secar. A mitad de semana las cambié a maceta de 5,5L téxtil y las pasé bajo los COB , 4 cri97 4000K y 5cri 97 2700K ,250W áprox. En estos momentos aumento el riego a 500ml por planta cada dos dias áprox. según. Armario de doble capa de DM con aislante y las medidas serian 76x76x180. El armario está fuera de casa por lo que tengo que luchar contra las inclemencias meteorológicas añadiendo un par o tres de calefactores de 80W. en momentos de mucho frio o aumentar caudal de extracción y tiempo de ventilador cuando hace mucho calor. Los calefactores van con sensor de temperatura graduado para que el sustrato se mantenga a 20- 22ºC áprox Esta semana empiezo a regar con agua del grifo , de base 0.4 áprox. y 6´5 de PH.

I figured I’d rock a decent update now what I don’t have anymore plants on the go. These were neglected from the start, although they seem to be making some pretty sweet buds. Tricombs are increasing, and starting to get cloudy. This is going to be my first sativa harvest so hopefully it turns out ok. I went a bit hard on the nutes the other day, I may have to give them a flush. The leaves are starting to curl and get brown. I’ll see how it looks in a few days. That’s it for this week, now get out there and enjoy the last of summer. Cheers.

July 7 start of week 9 first week of transition to flowering. July 8th I sprayed some (FSW) fermented sea water with (FPJ) fermented plant juice and (LABS)lactic acid bacteria as a foliage spray. Sprayed 2 hours before the lights came on. July 9th the girls loved the spray I made for them on the 8th July 12th I sprayed with WS-CAPO water soluble calcium potassium Foliage spray.

Day 49..moved the plants last week so they have more room. Stretch is slowing down and starting to bush out with loads of bud sites. No signs of any deficiencies yet, even though only feeding organic spirulina for last month.

End of week 6 and the girls are looking great! Gave them a good defoliation first day of the week (day 41 from seed) because I couldn't get the humidity below 65%. Glad I did, they were so bushy and lots of little branches in the middle, now so much cleaner and much much more airflow. Not sure if because of trimming but they barely grew this week. Blueberry is typically a bit shorter though so may just be the strain. Three plants look very similar with one plant looking 5-7 days behind. Starting to see colour starting already might be some beauties coming! Watering 3 liters a day per plant, just chugging along as the buds come in. Light up to 90% at 18" hitting 700umol/s. UV running 1 hour per day mid cycle 4" intake running around 60% 6" exhaust running 40% Upper oscillating fan 40% Lower oscillating fan on Low

One of the last days of 2x 16 colas and 2x 4 colas mainlining 4 month growing. Jamaican Dream and Green crack potted together and the experiment was successful. Three Blue kings was stressed in vegetative period by iron excess and overwatering. This is the reason that lower buds did not developed better. Amherst Sour diesel have one of the biggest buds I have ever seen. Jamaican Dream should be developed smaller, like Green Crack, but 100% sativa genetics showed it's greatness. Green Crack was growing like Jamaican Dream in vegetative period, but in flowering period its growing was slowly and now it has become very thick and full of buds. My growing box is very cheap but I tried maximum of my budget. 600w HPS is one of the greatest lamp for indoor growing. At flowering stage I have increased 600w to Super Lumens on my digital ballast for maximum yield. Main mistake is that I have used very cheap and primitive pots and soil was not enough good too. In these days I'll cut diesel and kings tops, because they are almost ready and lower buds need 7-12 more days to be ready for harvest.
