19.1.25:
I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g.
I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes.
It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements.
I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients.
Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;-
♡ 2ml Cal-Mag
♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max
♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys
I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements.
I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄
I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation.
The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double.
I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest.
I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too.
I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle.
24.1.25:
I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix.
This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments:
♡ 60% Canna coco
♡ 20% Worm castings
♡ 15 % Perlite
The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;-
♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys
♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules
♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano
♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth
♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster.
♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle.
•Worm castings for some all round nutrition.
•Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent.
•Canna coco base substrate.
•Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system.
•Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds.
•Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom.
•RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes.
•Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits.
•Diatomaceous earth for Silica.
•Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost.
I have removed all LST equipment from both PPP1 and PPP2.
I'm going to let them grow up now, and I plant to implement a Scrog net, if they get any taller, which I hope they will.
However they are most likely finished with their final stretch. My mistake, I went too hard on the LST.
Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

During week 12 all plants continue to get ripe and the leaves get more and more yellow fade. This is a good thing at this point, since that means the plants are FLUSHED properly and all BIO NOVA nutrients and sugars inside the plant-matter are used up. ONLY A WELL FLUSHED PLANT SMOKES SMOOTHLY WHEN DRIED!!! Since I plan to smoke these buds as my medicinal cannabis against my chronic back pain, I am extra keen on well flushed buds!
All my genetic treasures GLISTEN WITH TRICHOMES NOW! Its a beautiful sight and makes me smile every time I see them. The aroma coming from the tent is overwhelmingly strong now and makes my mouth water.
Since almost all the pistils have turned brown now, it is time to check the trichomes, if the plants are ready to harvest.
I take a hand-held microscope and carefully look at a top-bud. The trichome-heads I see, are all milky now and some of them have turned amber. Thats the perfect time to harvest, since its PEAK-THC now. When all trichome heads have turned milky the THC-content is at its highest, when they start to turn amber, THC breaks down again. The more AMBER TRICHOMES you have, the MORE SEDATIVE a plant gets and then it will make you MORE SLEEPY when you smoke it.
The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs have done an OUTSTANDING JOB!
The quality and amount of top-grade medicinal buds I have grown under them is MUCH BETTER THAN UNDER HPS.
I can only STRONGLY RECOMMEND the SANlight LEDs...the new EVO-series works GREAT!
At the end of week 12 (=after 9 weeks of flowering) its time TO HARVEST MY GENTIC TREASURES!

Day 45 in flower... Trichomes are about 80% milk and no amber... The paint and big Z are 7-9 weekers and orange cake is 9-10... Def few weeks on the orange cake... But getting close to how I like it on the other two... The smells are outta this world... Orange cake smells like orange cake... Very orange like it's nuts... Never smelt anything like it tbh... The paint is a different pheno than previous ones because there's usually a chemical skunk smell but this is a fruity pebble smell with layers of earth smell and a sticky presence that doesn't go away for a long time lol... The big Z is another sweet smelling but more along the smell of a mouth full of Skittles and that dirt earth smell aftertones... They're awesome and I'm really excited!
Day 46
They fattened up over night! Coming to n end... I did find little clusters of amber trichomes on the paint and I can't find many clear on the big Z... So it's right where I want it!

She seems to be overfed, showing yellowing here and there. Also other has some leaves have brown spots. I might have messed up the Ph because I did not adjust the Ph of nutrients mix. I assumed it was ph corrected. Now, I am adjusting the Ph and reducing feeding. Let’s hope that she recovers next week.

Starting to flop over as they usually do. I have the most amount of light I ever have in the tent so I expect overall higher yield but at the same time it may be too much for the top colas.
Nice and frosty as usual and quite a stench. The 6” x 18” AC infinity carbon scrubber isn’t taking care of it completely but doing a good enough Job that the wife hasn’t complained yet….yet

well everything is going well without pests without at least not noticeable or minimal deficiencies surely, which leaves us calm, potassium soap and neem oil were purchased but it was not applied at the end, it will be the next one, after this pruning work a new one was installed scrog mesh and as you can see we also did with some or one at least the 2nd largest an attempt at sog, so it's like a mixture, then this big ugly mesh, we change it for an ideal girl what we want is that it doesn't grow too much in that The mesh helps us, well, we also change and go to flowering officially when we see that the plant is already flowering by itself, we spread a little so that the small 5 small pots grow a little more, the intensive pruning is to compensate for the ventilation that The temperatures may still be somewhat high, the air circulation in general, my closet is 60x60x160cm, so it comes in handy, it seems to me that we have carried out a good sativa plant by taming it in such a small space and it is I am proud, in addition to having the other copies as well, I hope I have taken advantage of the space and the light as best as possible, that was the idea.

So as I'm not home this week i will just update what i did on my last day home. I added another reservoir, put a pump in it and a fill hose up into my main reservoir (which is 4 feet off the floor to gravity feed my blumat system). Installed a JB and wired in my pump and 2 level switches. They are wired in series with the switches in the normally closed position so the water level will break or make the circuit. Switch 1 is in the main reservoir to call for water and switch 2 is in my spill tray to stop a potential runaway from happening. After getting everything filled to the levels i wanted i did a test run and it worked great. Unfortunately i didn't look closely enough at the specs on the switches and #1 burnt out because it's meant for dc power not ac. My bad , so i hooked up a timer set it for 2 minutes a day as i didn't have time to fix it.
I decided that it was a good time to flip over to flower and I'm going with 13/11 lighting schedule see if there's any difference.
Happy growing

3/4 👍
3/5🍓🦍Z🍓🍑CBD they are all responding well to the watering yesterday and I used great white soil inoculant that seems to make the biggest difference. The leaves are growing huge almost too big. I can see these are going to be much larger than the space, even though I only used 2 gallon pots. i’m going to have to top them all in order to fit them in one tent. They are just beautiful and healthy and perfect in every way except for the CBD because I dropped her when I was doing the transplant. 👍.
3/6 I mixed up 3 mL of silica into a gallon three separate times. I did a heavy watering of all the plants today.💦
3/7🍓🍑👍
3/9 🍓🍑💦💦💦

I had to top Cantaloupe haze and White widow as they were too close to the lights and I didn't want to loose any ppfd on my lowers. My GSC seems perfect for not topping. next time I would top those strains at least once. I have been flushing the CH and getting run off around 1200ppm which seems like the max she can take the others like it stronger so I have been flushing them every 2-3 days. CH is tough to keep happy but will continue to monitor. All plants are in week 4 of flower 12/12 from seed.

7/15/2023 Day 11 Veg: watered again today, and added some Pure Protein Dry, BuildASoil Big 6, Rootwise Bio-Catalyst, and Yah-Whey Thrive. Also did a light foliar feed with the Pure Protein Dry as well. She still looks healthy so far.
7/17/2023: I appear to have a shore fly issue. This is a first for me. Delt with fungus gnats before, but these look like little flies. Need to start some IPM. Brewing a neem seed and mosquito bit tea, which I plan to do a soil drench with tomorrow. Will probably throw in some Dr. Zymes as well. I also have some beneficial nematodes I plan to add. We'll see how that works.
7/18/2023: watered with the tea I made yesterday, but instead of adding Dr. Zymes I added Lost Coast Plant Therapy. Also added the beneficial nematodes.
7/20/2023: the shore fly population seems to have declined, but it is still too early to tell. They are definitely in the earthbox, so I'm going to let it dry down more to see if that helps too. Roots are growing out of the bottom of the solo cup, but I'm going to wait another couple weeks before transplanting.
7/21/2023: watered with just plain water at a 6.2 ph.

Did a reservoir change.
Found a bunch of seeds at the top buds, did not find any nanners or balls, most likely somewhere hidden in the bud or non at all and still seeds.
The other plant in the same tent does not have a single seed on it.
Values are average of the day.

1st week of grow, wonder how long i will let them veg before switch to bloom.
Didnt precise that seeds from this part of the box are not feminized, I’ll maybe lose some of them during stretch.
Strengh and pleasure to all during this worldwide weird period 🌱💪🏼
