Tag 22: Die Woche begann mit dem Topping von zwei Damen (nur eine für diesen Report relevant), da diese bereit waren über der 5. Nodie abgetrennt zu werden. Dabei gleich noch ein paar größere Blätter entnommen oben, damit alle Triebe jetzt gut Licht kriegen. Der Rest der Ladys ist heute Abend oder morgen früh dran 😊 Und so war es dann auch, abends konnten alle Damen bis auf die lemon cherry gelato getoppt werden. Im Anschluss gab es Boom Boom Spray zur Erholung. Tag 23: Morgens ist mir mein KI Controller anscheinend abgeschmiert und hat sich selbstständig für gut zwei Stunden in den Pausemodus begeben, bis ich wach wurde und es bemerkt habe bei der morgen Kontrolle. Nach dem Schock und zwei Stunden richtig schlechter Laune noch die Lemon Cherry Gelato getoppt und mit Boom Boom Spray versorgt. Tag 24: heute musste ich unerwartet gießen, da die Ladys über Nacht richtig viel getrunken haben und ich sie nicht bis heute Abend dursten lassen wollte. 400ml für jede der Damen gab es mit ph 6.0 und 1ml/l calmag. Tag 25: heute nichts besonderes zu berichten 😼 Tag 26: du meine Güte sind die Damen durstig, muss heute Abend wieder gießen und dieses Wochenende dürfte es dann auch Zeit für die 20l Endtöpfe sein — Umtopfen ist angesagt 😊 Am Abend wurden dann pro Pflanze 0,5l ph 6.3 Wasser gegossen. Tag 27: mit dem Umtopfen sind die Painkiller nun uns kleine Zelt umgezogen und somit verbleiben nur die Lemon Trees und die Lemon Cherry Gelato im großen Zelt und haben nun richtig viel Platz 😊 Tag 28: Endlich durften die Ladys in ihre 20l Stofftöpfe umziehen. Beim Umtopfen gab es noch 65g GHF Biogrow sowie White Shark mycorrhiza ins Substrat und danach wurde mit 3l ph 6.3 Wasser angegossen. Im Anschluss noch das Licht auf 600ppfd erhöht. Ende Vegi-Woche 2 ✌️ Day 22: I started the week with the topping of two ladies (only one of them is relevant for this report), because they were ready to be cut above the fifth node. I also took off some of the larger leaves, so that all the branches get enough light. 😊 The rest of the ladies should be ready this evening or tomorrow morning. And as I said, I was able to top all the other ladies, besides the Lemon Cherry Gelato, which has to wait till tomorrow. Afterwards they got some Boom Boom Spray for recovery. Day 23: This morning my ai controller decided to go to pausemode on its own and shut down the tent for about two hours until I woke up and made my morning control. After two hours of bad mood I topped the lemon cherry gelato and treated her with Boom Boom spray Day 24: this morning I had to water the ladies unexpectedly, because they drank more than I thought they would. So every Lady got 400ml ph 6.0 water with 1ml/l calmag. Day 25: nothing special to report today 😼 Day 26: they’re drinking more then I expected, I have to water them again this evening and they will be repotted to their last 20l pots 😊 In the evening each Lady got 0,5l of ph 6.3 water. Day 27: my wife’s Painkillers left the tent after repotting and now the lemon trees and the LCG have lots of space to grow big 😊 Day 28: finally I could repot the Ladys to their 20l fabric pots. They got 65g GHF Biogrow and White Shark mycorrhiza to the soil and afterwards I watered them 3l ph 6.3 water and adjusted the the lights to 600ppfd End of week 2 ✌️

GWK: Day 68 AvT: Day 63 Notes: -The AvT is on day 63 but for those confused why she looks the way she does, she almost died right as she entered flower and was stunted for about two weeks before ANY growth started again -AvT looks like she could really put off a nice yield if everything keeps moving in this direction -Planning to cut the GWK down between the 5th and 7th depending on the % of amber trichomes

8/12/24 - 8/18/24 Start of Flower - 1st Full Week Saw a potential for Nitrogen Toxcitiy. Dark green, almost black tips, downward pointed. #1 was 35 cm @ 8pm-ish. #1 was 40 cm @ 8pm-ish. #1 was 45 cm @ 8pm-ish. "2:30 am-ish - Going for a ""flushing"" watering. Hoping to slightly lower the suspected nitrogen levels. Warning Watch: Runoff was 5.6 pH, EC 3.2, 1650 ppm500, 2250 ppm700 at the end. Might be high but another flushing watering will calm it. #1 was 51 cm @ 10pm-ish." They looked great throughout the day. "1:00am ManBear (friend's name) became the proud surragote father for #4. She became his to manage the way he sees fit. #1, #3, and #4 have not been watered since Day #20. I suspect they will need it soon. #1 in now 60cm at 1am-ish. 6:30pm: Flush watering of #1 #1 was 65"

Water change day .. Drinking. 2000 ml each per day.. So 6 days on the nute change... ******************* 2 Buckets done .. 5 Left . I may leave the caramel cream autos until tomorrow , they are drinking slightly less per day , but the big girls are drinkers for sure .... So getting better at mixing nutes, bought giant bag of disposable droppers, god damn so much easier for me . I have visual impairment, and shaky hands from the brain tumors. The visual impairment is bad, but the shakes come and go . I normally get a few good rips on the Dr Dabber Switch before i start to help. But the mixing went much better . less mess and i simply pitched the pipette after each use . YEs i know wasteful .... but for me , for now its what i have to do. 1 pipette for each nute for each bucket, they are cheap enough. This way not contaminating anything, and at the amount im mixing, 3 mils - 20 mils each . Biggest problem i have, and i guess maybe not a bad problem ... I have 4 girls on one side of the 4x9 tent, and 3 on the other. The four on the one side are all Glue Gelato Autos and my lord I can not get to the back left side bucket at all with the amount of foliage. So moved a bucket to the other side to allow me to drop in a pail to do a siphon out and refill. See pictures... So I am 10000% upgrading to the 13 gallon x 8 fall ponic system after this grow ..... THANK GOD the caramel cream autos are half the size and 1 of the glue gelatos is slightly smaller on the right to allow me to move around the tent slightly, and im a lean dude.... But i am surprised each day when i check the progress just how far they have come for my first try ... Still have low expectationsfor crops and yields , but am loving the time learning and getting to know hydroponics. I TOTALLY get when the OG growers say just listen to them they will tell you what they need, legit all i have done is feed, maintain enviroment and observe. positive i can not make the same moistakes i made so far net time just by learning my lessons and understanding better the purpose for each Nute and how to spot when the plants are asking for them . Well have atleast 2 more to do tonight most likely will get all the gelato glues done Cheers Check out band i recently turned on to .. Fortunate Youth on Sugar Shack ...

Pretty happy so far, kept EC the same as there was a slight tip burn when I tried to up the nutrients.

The girls are stretching nicely. Noticing more vigorous growth with the AutoPots. The timer is the issue with the EasyFeed. I'm trying 1 min every 3 hours, but then I have to be sure to turn it off at lights out. An 8 hour schedule would be great, but 1 min on isn't enough and 3 mins on is too much. Because the timer is battery operated, a secondary time cannot be added. I really like the system and am trying hard to dial it in. I think allowing to dryback could be superior over the AP system, but if I'm unable to prove it, who cares. I've experienced plant #2 being unhappy due to under/over feed8ng twice this week.

START WEEK 03/29/22 +Started with some Medium Defoliation this week. Sort of spooky. The girls don't enjoy being jacked around. However, they seemed to have recovered nicely. I'm relieved. +Saw some real stretch the past week, beginning to form buds, pretty amazing and fun to watch the girls grow! +I do realize my plants are different sizes because of experimentation. Not a good idea in practice but great learning. 2 plants have been ScrOG, topped, fimmed, supercrop, you name it. 1 plant just fimmed and 1 plant untouched. The results speak for themselves. 2 plants really wind up being trellised and natural. I hope I can make some decent and consistent buds to make "sort of" final comparison. +bumped ppm to 1200 +beginning to smell VERY strong. +I will do some leaf picking (not enough to consider defoliation) this week just to expose a few more sites. These plants have been extremely bushy and a challenge for a Newbie like me. +Basically, I am just letting the plants do their thing. $Organoman $M0use $QuickOne $gottagrowsometime THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS TO MY QUESTION LOTS OF HELP. BASICALLY, THE SAME CONCEPT. PROBABLY DIDN'T DO ENOUGH DEFOLIATION BUT IT GETS A BIT SCAREY (WHEN EVERYTHING DROOPS) AND I DO SORT OF SUBSCRIBE TO "LESS IS MORE" . May be incorrect but at least on this 1st grow it will probable be my practice. THINKING OUT LOUD ?Should I? Can I? supplement red spectrum light? I have the ability just don't know if it is necessary. Also, might just be curious to see how my newly purchased light flowers. It's claims to be full spectrum? ?Do I need any additional boosters or additives? They appear to veg very well but I would like to make sure they get what they need to flower. ?Should I be popping seed for my next grow? Gotta get me a nice dedicated Veg light. Or maybe try autos?

Critical X Animal Cookies has been growing healthy lately under CD the Hortibloom Solux 350. My orginal solution mix was too strong as she was stunned from it. She was defoliated and roots trimmed up. Ready for anithercweek of growing, then likely switching light times for flowering. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

It's been two weeks since i started using the UAP 1500 light, and the results are definitely showing! The 'Peyton' papaya seems to love it. The leaves have this amazing vibrant green, and the whole plant looks so healthy and strong. Lemon Cherry Runtz is looking fantastic! The buds are dense and frosty, with those beautiful purple hues peeking through. You can tell it's a high-quality grow. The aroma must be incredible – that sweet, citrusy smell with a hint of cherry. It's definitely living up to its name! The plant seems super healthy, and the trichome coverage is impressive. It looks like it's getting close to harvest time.

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 Both "A" and "B" put on an inch overnight. Now that the soooperstunted mutant runt is acting like a normal plant, so henceforth I'll refer to her as "C." 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 I moved #3 into the tent with my DWC rig to veg a little longer. 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. #3 is still vegging in my SCROG tent with the #8 FFT DWC plant. She's coming along, but still not ready for prime time.. That's it for week 4-

She is growing great and right where I want her. I mainlined her on day 14. I topped her above the third node and left a small stump. The stump will swell which helps keep the main from splitting later in life. I cut everything below and will the down the new growth.
