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 π
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 π€
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;-
β‘ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix
β‘ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow
β‘ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
β‘ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
β‘ 2ml Cal-Mag
β‘ 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 π
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 π
Thanks for checking out my diary π βοΈ

Going good, still a bit of powdery mold. Spraying milk & water once a week. Slows the mold down but it comes back. Not too worried they're going outside within a few days. Gonna spray them again tonight just to make sure.

26/09 The second week of vegetation has begun, the sprout feels super great, I buried it 2-3 cm, so it looks a little shorter.
I will start fertilizing from about the 15th day, until that moment I just pour water with the addition of Piranha 2ml / l, today I poured 10ml from a syringe around the sprout and today it stood all day without a cup under full light
Tonight I added to the AD Piranha solution more nutrition for these mycorrhiza fungus in the form of Bud Candy. And carefully poured 5 ml of the solution 2-3 cm from the sprout on one side. Perhaps this will immediately help develop an excellent root system.
I continue to occasionally wet the ground for it so that it would be more humid around it, since I have a fairly strong lamp for such a grow box, I think that it can be hot, although other plants felt great at this stage
30/09
Last night I poured her compote with Piranha and BudCandy 2 ml / l each, poured about 500 ml into her eye and lo and behold, she responded with rapid growth, she adds very much every day. I will try to alternate watering with ordinary water so as not to overfeed. And super genetics, she is gaining the thickness of the trunk already!

31 Aug. I start the third week of my autoflower. The plant is growing well, but I noticed small yellow spots on the leaf tips, which seem like a mild calcium deficiency. This is probably due to the fact that so far I have been giving water with a slightly low pH, around 6, while the ideal range would be 6.5β7.
At the beginning, to lower the ppm of the tap water (which was around 211 ppm), I mixed it with demineralized water. This brought the ppm down to about 109β140, making it harder for the plant to absorb the available calcium. Additionally, the soil I am using, Biobizz Light Mix, is lightly fertilized but does not contain enough calcium to correct this small initial deficiency.
For this week, I will not add any fertilizers. I simply want to raise the pH to 6.5 and use water with higher ppm, so the plant can better absorb the nutrients already present in the soil.
The lamp is positioned about 35β36 cm from the plant and so far there are no burn issues. Temperatures range between 25 and 30 Β°C depending on the day, while humidity in the room stays between 40β60%. The humidifier is always on because I keep the window open, but the dehumidifier is not being used, as it is not necessary at the moment.
I also have a new oscillating fan arriving to replace the current fixed one, and Iβm waiting for a regulable extractor (90β145 mΒ³/h), which will allow me to control the air perfectly during winter if needed.
This week my main goals are:
Increase the water ppm without overdoing it
Adjust the pH to 6.5
Keep observing the plant without adding any fertilizers
Everything else seems fine and growth is regular. With these corrections, I expect the new leaves to grow healthy and free of spots.
==UPDATE 31/08==
To control the calcium deficiency, I will administer an eggshell solution until I reach 300 ppm (I will boil some eggshells and administer the solution in tap water).
==Update 4 Sept==
By mistake, I adjusted the pH twice, once to 7 and once to 8, and obviously the plant immediately showed symptoms of incorrect pH. At the next watering, I'll give Biobizz Grow with a little Biobizz Bloom since the plant has entered pre-flowering. I'll adjust everything to a pH of 6-7 and a ppm of 450-500.

It's been a beautiful plant to grow, I thought she was gonna be a little bigger, however she has produced an amazing quality flowers, very sticky, terpy and stinky, the citric aroma it's absolutely wonderful just because of that I could grow her again and again. You definitely need to try this strain if you lovd weed.ππ±π€€

Week 4 - 01/22 to 01/28 2021
Pictures from Days 25 + 26
TRANSPLANTED!
Hopefully the stunted size means the flower timing is delayed as well, I've gone through a runt LSD before so if it flips before 7 inches I'll just pull it and start a different seed, I still have more Purple Lemonade beans so might pop one of those into the 5gal with no transplant and see if I can get a better base.
More and more reasons to go back to a photoperiod grow after this for more control/really test out the new lights π
Ended up more 50/50 ratio of Destiny Organic's Dark Matter Living Soil + ProMixHP since I had to make the Destiny last. Apparently they went out of business just after I decided it was my favourite/new soil :( Would rather stay away from Ocean Floor since I haven't had the best experiences with it (bugs/rust fungus etc) Feel free to drop some recommendations other than Fox Farms below π
The plant otherwise is healthy and growing well under the new set up. Still 3 and change tall but in context of the new light has tripled in size in a week and a half. If it looks like it's still vegging and starting to catch up once it settles into the new RootPouch 5gal woven then I'll keep it going.
I raised the @ViparSpectraLED P1500 another eight inches after transplant and started basic LST. I really wanted to get these four under a ScrOG but if 3/4 are already flipping and the LSD is still runty I might have to wait it out again.
I have the @MarsHydroLED TSL2000 set up and ready to go once the girls settle into their new pots. Have the new surge protector/heavy duty power cords/power tool grade timers as mentioned in Week 3. Some of it shown in the pictures.
Threw some videos in this week as well with some Queen's Radio GaGa, Beastie Boys' Brass Monkey, and a little hint of Arkells ....COME TO LIGHT on the short @ViparSpectraLED ..GET IT.. π

10/27 Last week for these guys for sure.
Really not happy with the soil as things turn out but thats why I have four cubic feet of buffered coco ready for next grow.
Worry about soil next spring.
Held off watering today as I may decide to go ahead and chop, tricones are ready and few new hairs so... need em dry.
10/28 Gave 1.5 liter of 6.5 PH water and 1 tbs Karo /gal each, just enough to get things to the 30th Harvest day with no further issues.
Some new hair growth noted so buds still building on all but Jen, she is done but no where to put her till the drying tent is free so... on it goes for a couple. :)

Day 65, 14th of November 2020:
This plant man.... I am shocked lol...
I created a form of art i think look at the main stalk how it is twisted.
That's nothing really compare hoe she streches and grows so crazy. Actually she can not hold her own side branches I needed to tie them together....
Beautiful lady guys... she is...
Pre flowers out all good.... check out...
Fertilization happens every 2nd day with the ratio and mix above.
I set the lamp 15 minutes shorter to switch off earlier so she receives 11:45 of darkness. I would like to imitate the nature when longer nights come with time till the 4th week (when she will receive 13 hours darkness a day 15 minutes minus 4 times = 1hour) so every week 15 min longer darkness for 4 weeks and then back to 12/12 to have bigger buds from the 4th week....

Finally in full flower mode. Ready to start putting on some serious size. I turned the lights up to 80% a couple days ago and they both are taking it well. No light burn yet that I notice.
I'm not sure if I should start bringing the lights closer at 80% or keep the distance but instead
Increase power to 90%. Going to feel it out as we go. Happy so far for sure.
Update: increased light to 100% . No lead burns or weird looking leaves yet.. Just bulking up and very thirsty!
Doing a nutrient/nutrient/water feeding schedule now.

Idk π€·ββοΈ π€·ββοΈ i've seen people with similar phenotypes, so I know it's not anything i've done.. Usually I am raving about Zamnesia Seeds but this grow was a real letdown. Especially because it's a contest grow, and I had put so much into it.. not very happy.The plant was ugly from the beginning.. deficiencies from the beginning.. and she's gotten the same treatment every plant I ever grow gets .. she produced a lot .. i just don't know how good it's going to be... Not a sugar leaf on the whole plant... No sweet smell .. i'm just glad this grow is over......... Okay, now that it's dried for a couple days. It's official, this grow was a complete waste of time.. I'm not gonna smoke one b off the entire plant. It's all going in the freezer for butter. It's absolutely trash.It's all larfie ruderalis π© .. no more autos

Veg Week 5 Day 35 to 41 - 3/25 to 3/31
This week is primarily test training recovery. Seeing each recent topping was at the 3 node point I topped again. Follow up of the cola breaks was nice for all but 1, The worst break (the one with tape over it) actually recovered very well, I see no future issues from that branch other than monitor for weight tears. The next worse break on the other plant wasnt so fortunate. While it started out okay, it also kept ripping under its own weight as it grew topping wasnt only beneficial, it was the only thing that allowed this branch to survive past the day (lesson here is to make sure all breaks are back supported early while they recover at least) I think this branch may need to be supported for the entire grow, and the amount of recovery time is possibly past the point of which I would want to see in a normal grow since it may not produce nearly as well as the other colas. The lighter break on each plant look to have taken advantage of the damage and produces giant knuckles of cured hardwood at the breaks. This is exactly the kind of recovery I want to see since all future water ways will pass these points and the branch will still be strong enough to support future weight of giant flowers.
Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 300ppm total before add-ins. I used 300ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and NO Bloom concentrate mix (just showing the recipe in week 5- I am adding it in week 6). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 6.0
Next week I plan to top cut the branches again and change out the feeds with 350ppm at 6.0ph

9/8 D65 Seems our "good" weather is ending and if the forecast is correct for the next three days, only three of the last ten were sunny.
That aint good folks not sure what can be done about it outside of artificial light and that would go on the ATF if any were available.
Ah well learning is fun
She looks good just needs some blasted sun
Zombie is thriving, go figure
Full feed yesterday
9/10 Sunless days continue, maybe two hours sun today then the rain moved in and the temp dropped... global warming my arse
The forecasts were correct now I can only hope that continues as it is forecast for much better the next 2 days and then right back to this mess.
9/11 Yep today was a big improvement glad to have it
9/13 Day 70
New vids, top dressing seems to have triggered a new run of bud building on both Gloria and zombie Quasimodo (cant kill some of these Mex Air plants). The moster crop growth pattern is interesting as hell just letting it grow. Gloria looks to be building a basketball bud on top :)
Weather degrading harvest in a couple weeks max trics say same
