Skipped a week in my journal due to travels. Had my neighbor water my plants. Having some minor early deficiencies with my photoperiod plants (particularly the chem brulee)... so I decided to go ahead and give everything a solid feeding of Foop Bloom 1, 2 and Sweetener. This is their first ever bottled feeding. Have been running on supersoil and a prayer. Also top dressed everything and mulched with rice straw to help with the soil drying out a bit too quickly. Leaves have been yellowing on all three. Mostly relegated to the interior of the plants. Chem Brulee is looking a bit too yellow overall, as well. French Macaron is a 66in. Chem Brulee is 56in. Pineapple Meatball is 45in. I have a sneaking suspicion that my neighbor didn't water them quite enough while I was gone. Will probably continue with the Foop feedings... probably at least once per week. Don't want to overdo it. Also top dressed with my flowering top dress mix and mulched all plants with a thin layer of rice straw. 8/4 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap 8/5 Sprayed with Gravenstein Apple FFJ and OHN 8/6 Sprayed with Neem Oil and Castile Soap (this will likely be the last time I spray with Neem Oil, as I don't want residual oils as buds start swelling. Also fed 1/4 strength FOOP to ensure we head off any deficiencies.

Well NO ONE on this site reached out to try and help and I was kind of disappointed in that with so many great artists. I had to take my issues over and join ILGM. The veins were dark on MOBY and yellowing from the middle and it turned out to be a potassium deficiency and a potential build up but I don’t have my new ppm meter to get the whole truth. I upped my Demeter’s destiny and my hurculean harvest and let it run off more than usual. This lady is out of lock out and reaching for the sky in one day with leaves coming back to color!!! Hopefully the stall didn’t set me too far back. Going to switch away from the HLG 60 and mars 300 and put them under a brand new HLG 550 v2 this weekend in the main tent!

Esta semana, poca cosa a añadir, tan solo que continuamos como la semana pasada. Riegos alternos entre abono y agua, según tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal by BioBizz. Hemos aumentado la potencia de extracción para evitar olores.

Nothing too crazy to report from this week; her smell is potent and shes covered in trichomes. Touching the plant covers my hands and arms in sticky resin-like glue. 😁😁 I am very happy with the state of my secret garden. Considering this is the first shot; the internet and others in the grow diaries community have really put me onto the right course. Thanks! Ive been defoliation both plants as and when needed and from the trim i have been making cannabutter for baking :) Ive also taken some pics in the dark to highlight the trichome production :):) RQS northern lights has had a better start than QO and its really starting to show; she's overtaking QO and just starting to flower now... she is massive! Far far bigger than I was expecting. Shes almost 80cmx80cm in canopy area. Similar nutrient mix used as last week barring the change to 15ml/10L of PK13/14 from 10ml/10L 40ml/10L of a+b 15ml/10L of PK13/14 1 drop of superthrive ph ~6 ppm ~1150

The Orange Hill Special is finishing! She has compact and dense buds that have grown in. The waiting is on the amber trichomes now, which I'm giving her time for! There are some more faded leaves and she is clearly rounding it up. The smells in the room (and the house are getting very pungent and were happy we don't have many visitors in the coming days! We are beyond camouflage. She has some more space as I've taken out the Gorrila for darkness. That one was way more done, but this one needs one more week, I gather. Take care and thank you for following again!!

No nutrients for the next week. Also had some learnings from this grow: 1stly - must adapt a routine feeding schedule/ plan. With a lot more Nitrogen added in veg phase 2ndly - for flowering phase, need to add more of phosphorus and potassium in the feeding plan 3rdly - need to make the bed of soil big so that plant has more space for roots 4thly, - light, light and more light. 5thly - need to research more training methods and improve on them But overall I am happy and I keep learning about the growing process.

Not going to go into much detail on the individual plants this week since there is nothing exciting to report. Only note this week is something we all pretty much know already. Organics and hydroponics dont play well together! I was using gringo Rasta calmag and it clogged all my feed lines. I ordered some calimagic so this wont be an issue anymore. Everyone is growing well and stretching quite a bit. I started them on some maxibloom. I will increase it as I lower the maxigro over the next couple weeks. Pretty boring right now, but stick around a few weeks and that might change.

hey all, let's do an experiment with budswelling and without ! i know it will not be exact science but i will give some insight if it works or not. i have got 2 C.banana and 2Royal Gorilla on 1 plant of each sort i have done my budswelling so we can compare both strains and the effect at the end of harvest to see if it makes a difference or not. in my believe it makes a difference but i can not prove it maybe this will give an idea if it makes a difference or not. also i have put an video on how i do the budswelling with scissors or with fingers. i prefer to do it with fingers it's a lot quicker then with scissors. You need to do this on al the buds not only on top. Some say you need to do this every week but i only do it after 3or 4 weeks into flowering.

Leider musste ich auf einer unteren Blüte Kot von irgend einem Tier entfernen. Ich vermute dass es eine Weinbergschnecke war. Oder hat von euch jemand eine Idee? Nicht das am Ende jemand Rattengift darauf verteilt hat. Ich bin mir nicht sicher was das sein könnte. Ansonsten entwickelt sie sich sehr schön weiter. Der Duft ist wirklich sehr angenehm.

Day 8- CRX Sunny X-5 is failing. Time for a new flowering LED. Thinking either the Viparspectra 1200w or the Mars Reflector 192 but open to suggestions for a 4x4 canopy. Day 9- more leaf tucking in the net. Decided to go with two smaller lights(Mars ECO98’s) rather than 1 big one as there’s nothing in the middle to utilize the primaryily lit area of a bigger light. Hopefully they arrive tomorrow. Day 10- Everyone happy and flowering. Topped up res with H2O. Anxiously awaiting new lighting Day11 - New lights arrived and installed. More leaf tucking. All plants are actively flowering now Day13- more tucking. Buds are beginning to stack up and seem to be liking the new lights. Day 14- more leaf tuck and H2O topup. Next week lower N. Raise PK and will likely add some RAW amino acids, and biogenic silica. Possibly some vitamin B.

I started using the bud clips to bend the longer tops where I want them. hopefully I’ll be able to get a trellis net up after my drainage trays get here and I can suck out my runoff with a pump or shop vac. I’m thinking a small transfer pump with two hoses. vac is just too loud. next grow I’m using a tilted drain table and a pump out I hope.

En esta primera semana mantuve las luces muy alejadas lo que provocó un estiramiento prematuro lo que a mi gusto no me gusta mucho a sí que para la siguiente prepararé un transplante. In the very first week I kept the light so far so the it create a early grow on the structure but for me its not so good so I prepare a transplant for The next week.
