14.1.25:
I've been readjusting the LST. I just took all the pegs out and reshaped her.
I got some new LST equipment in the mail today, have been glad to have more pegs. I got some clips too, but they don't seem to stay on š
I'm currently only using the pegs, I have some thicker soft wire, but I forgot I don't have pliers to cut it!
Also I'm running very low on Biobizz nutrients, so that could be bad š¤
18.1.25:
I have done another large defoliation on PPP1 and PPP2.
Also, moderate defoliation on all other plants today. All LST ties and pegs are readjusted.
I have turned up the light to 90%. Same distance of between 24-28 inches, depending on height of specific plant.
I have increased the dosage of Biobizz Bio-Grow and Fish Mix to give an extra boost of Nitrogen as several plants were showing yellowing. They have responded very well to this. Unfortunately I ran out of my Biobizz nutrients and PH UP. I'm currently using Bicarbonate of Soda to increase the PH after the nutes PH comes out to about 4.1. Obviously, that uses a lot and I only had a 250ml bottle, which I used last run too.
This run I have 9 plants. The only thing I'm worried about is the salt build up.
Have you used it before? Or any other natural way to increase PH? Please let me know!
I've also added Biobizz Fish Mix to help with the extra Nitrogen needed.
Watering with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients;-
ā” 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix
ā” 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow
ā” 2ml Biobizz Bloom
ā” 2ml Biobizz Top Max
ā” 2ml Cal-Mag
ā” 2ml Ecothrive Flourish.
I water with this every 3 days.
I did order some more Biobizz Bio-Grow and Bio Bloom.
I found some at a reasonable price on Amazon. I still have about 800 ml of Biobizz Fish Mix left, too.
It is fairly expensive this time as the plants are hungrier this run.
I also got a new bag of Canna coco, which I may use to add a top dress with some dry amendments.
Which hopefully will save some cash on the bottled nutrients and stretch out until the end of this run without having to buy anymore.
I have purchased a funnel to pour the water. It is difficult, due to the shape of my LST, to water precisely. I have spilt it all over the tent several times š
I've also ordered a 2 litre jug. Currently, I'm mixing water for 9 plants individually in a 1 litre jug. It's tideous. Hopefully, this will solve the issues.
Cleaning the tent after watering every time isn't my idea of efficiency š
Thanks for checking out my diary š āļø

5/16 WEEK 4!
She has hit 14 inches , secondary and tertiary branches growing nicely due to pony-tailing leaf tucking and 30w of secondary light hitting under the canopy.
Color is excellent form is perfect great genetics here
Flower is still holding off so this could be a special lady.
Nuets are doing great work so leaving then as is of a while.
5/17
Another inch and pony-tail is complete as secondary branches have broken the canopy
Just leaf tucking and whatnot from here
As is for now
5/18
She hit 20 inches of veg growth without being stretchy, node spacing is good, not hitting flower as yet though she is knocking on the door and likely has begun her stretch.
She likes the new light setup and can now hold her own with her tent mates without a "booster seat".
No deficiencies
Good color
Hair growth is good
Happy plant
May increase Bloom ratio in a couple of days to 50-50 see what the plant says about it.
5/19
Pics
Still in veg as the growth tips remain if increasingly hairy no cola formation.
21" her rate of growth is continuing branches staying above leaf canopy.
Nuets as is today but one dose of PK incoming tomorrow for hair growth.
A little comparison from our last CBD grow - we can dream cant we
Gave her 5ml/gal Kangaroots in prep for Flower
5/20
Vertical growth has stopped and she is getting very hairy with the beginning of cola formation.
She is transitioning quickly so modified the nuets to half Grow half Bloom for the duration of it.
5/21
Vertical growth has kicked back in so looks like a flowering stretch, 26 inches+
The pause may have been her building her roots after the shots of Kangaroots and she has just resumed her stretch.
Moved her directly under the MH-HID in attempt to keep her size more manageable but she is her own girl so...
Little one time shot of KoolBloom for hair growth 1ml/gal
5/22
She is finishing the week in full Flower as colas are forming.
Good results in hair growth due to PK it seems will use again later.
Hitting 29 inches now the tallest plant in the tent, have added support for main stem will add bamboo as she grows.
MH-HID light up to full 600w as we need this stretch to slow down the blue light should help.

Daily watering is done either 4 hours after the plant wakes up or 4 hours before it goes to sleep. My photoperiod is from 6 a.m. until midnight, which means I water either at 10 a.m. or 8 p.m. When it gets bigger, I plan to water at both times to ensure good root oxygenation. Even when it's small, I use a raw ppm (parts per million) reading. From the beginning, I calibrate it to a minimum of 800 ppm and increase it according to the plant's growth. I maintain the pH at 5.8 throughout the entire cycle. Watering is done with 200ml of solution, and the runoff is checked daily. If the ppm rises too much, I perform a flush. This week, the soil's ppm was already reaching almost 700, so I did a flush with 500ml of pure water and calibrated pH. Soon, I will begin pruning, considering Topping, LST, and Lollipoping.
OBS: I have been adding H2O2 to the waterings to prevent gnats and unwanted pests.

The bottom buds were done and getting amber, I thought of partial harvesting but the math didn't match and leaving the main cola didn't make sense so I chopped her down. Will be back 3 weeks after she's dried with the smoke report

Dropped the 3 seeds in water bath with a little HESI rooting mix, little mycorrhizae.
On a heat mat, covered for complete darkness. 24 Hr soak -
then seeds moved into own Seed Germinator - Karlās Bubatz Popper š
24 hrs after 22 degrees and 90-95% humidity seeds developed long enough roots to hit the soil. To avoid any chance of damage the cotton pads hit the soil too.

All in all there were some major mistakes I made myself in which I can honestly say I think has affected the yield and quality to some extent. As this was my first use of the equipment for this run. After everything I have learnt on this run I hoping the next one there will be no errors at all.

Week 11 for Amnesia Zkittlez by fastbuds,
She's on her couple of last weeks before she gets the chop, fan leaves slowly losing colour. Only feeding plain water from here onwardsš
Last week was another hot hot week but we are coming down to the low 30's again for the rest of the upcoming week so think the plants will be happier.

Ticking along ok the white widows are starting to thicken up I think another 2 weeks and they will be ready to go. GSC #1 is looking like itās getting close just by looking at the pistils but I havenāt looked at the trichomes yet. The GSC#2 and #3 are just starting to fatten up and still producing a lot of pistils so I think they will be another 3 weeks.

All three girls are officially in bloom! š¼
#2, our surprise LST candidate (thanks, fan š
), has now also entered flowering, and is looking strong!
#1 has shot up and is clearly the tallest in the tent, stretching like thereās no tomorrow.
Meanwhile, #3 decided to skip the gym and focus on curves, sheās staying short but growing wide, even without any training šŖ
Overall, everything is going smooth, healthy. Letās see what these girls bring in the next few weeks!š±

Starting into Week 7 Flower, week 13 total
Mandarin Cookies smelling out of this world!
Very nice and sparkling trichs!
Silver Kush #1 is filling in and getting some nice buds, #2 is pretty far behind. Iāve got a feeling #2 might be destined for the hash bag. Not much weight on that little lady yet.
3 - Madarin Cookies are two in back and one in center;
2 - Silver Kush are two up front;
2 gallons water/nutes per 5 plants, alternating with plain water (just calmag, malassis, Ph. 6.4) every other day.
Ph.6.4
(1.5 C.F.) Fox Farm Ocean Forest, mixed with (1.5 C.F.) garden soil, fills (5) 5 galllon fabric pots perfectly. (50/50 mix.)
Again, The new version of Spider Farmer SF-4000 is an awesome light, for anyone wondering.
Canāt say enough good things about this light!
This is my first LED, so still trying to figure it all out. I ended up moving the light higher up, to about 18ā from the highest buds, to stop the curing and mild heat stress.
Power outage was a long few days, but the plants seem to be bouncing right back from it. Quality doesnāt seem affected, but end weight might have been hurt slightly.
Oh well... what can ya do!

DAY49
7 Weeks
Buds are hard. Smell is extreme.
Very limited amount of spidermites under some leaves. No reason to exterminate them, because next week I'll probably harvest the plants.
The smell of the Triple G is fanastic, Big separated buds. The Cookies Gelato are more sativa style of buds than I'm use of them. There leaves are turning purple.
The Liberty Haze has a lot of small leaves in the buds, and thet got amasing blinking white flowers. Probably this will be the plants I'll harvest the last, because they need some extra flowering time.
The Wedding Gelato is creamy, lots of trichomes and is fast flowering. But some flowers got budrot. I'ts hard to get the humidity low because of the rainy and misty autumn outside.

Day 64 - The beginning of week 10 and started off with 2 gallons of plain pHād water. I think I waited a day later than I should of cause she was pretty droopy and dried out but seems to of recovered. I ended up tying down a couple of the really long branches to keep her even and seems to of evened up the canopy a bit.
Day 65 - Did a bit of defoliating on the lower end of her today, mainly to remove some dying leaves. Since Iāve got 3 flowering plants in the tent right now, I donāt think everything is getting the right light coverage so Iāve got another AGLEX ā1200Wā COB LED that should be here tomorrow so hopefully Iāll have enough light coverage and penetration from here on out.
Day 66 - Sheāll be ready for another round of water, 2 gallons worth tomorrow, sheās almost dry. Other than that, not much had to be done with her today. As will all the girls in the tent, Iām trying to figure out how to get my temps down. The AC is out in the house and hoping with some cooler temps moving in, itāll help cool it down.
Day 67 - Nothing new today other than she was very dry so she got her 2 gallons of plain pHād water, next will be a feeding of nutes.
Day 68 - No major updates and issues going on right now. Just got some updated pictures and tucked some leaves, also removed a couple of yellow leaves at the bottom.
Day 70 - The end of week 10 and she got a feeding of water and nutes today. Sheās starting to fill in nicely but still a few weeks away from harvest.

Esa familia, nuestras crazy cookies estĆ”n algo sobre fertilizadas y por ello le practicamos un lavado de raĆces para eliminar los nutrientes sobrantes.
Ph controlado unos dĆas sin regar la prĆ³xima semana y veremos que tal avanzan , floraciĆ³n lenta imagino que por culpa de la sobrefertilizaciĆ³n aunque tiene soluciĆ³n fumetillas.

Spread this girl out a bit using some string and mild LST. She's responded super well and all the bud sites seem to be getting a nice dose from the TS1000 :)
Bit late uploading this week but the pictures were taken back on Tuesday meaning this is still an accurately dated upload.
