So, sad day friends. I got spider mites and had to throw all my plants out. This is what I think happened: About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed some freckling on the lower leaves. I looked at it and thought it might be a cal/mag issue so I added cal/mag that week and went about my business. I saw it about a week later and it wasn''t getting any better so I added more cal/mag. This continued for about 2-3 weeks until I finally took off a leaf and examined it under my microscope. I saw little bugs crawling everywhere and my stomach just dropped. My fiance did some quick research while I was panic ripping leaves off (see pictures) and she correctly diagnosed it as spider mites. I debated with myself and my close friend and ultimately I decided to throw all the plants in my tent away. I know that there are a lot of people who will say that there are things I could have done to make it to harvest but what it came down to is the people I take care of and personal pride. I consider myself a caregiver and I give away product for free that I am not going to use to my family and close friends. I thought to myself "Would you smoke this?" and when my answer was "ehhh, I don''t know", I thought about how it would feel giving it away and immediately made the decision to destroy them. I take an immense amount of pride in my product and this hobby and if I am not going to stand behind it I would rather just start over. I grow from my heart (shout out to the Grow From Your Heart Podcast!) to help people and make sure my family is not getting unsafe product from sketchy people. To spray pesticides in flower that may hurt people and have little bug carcasses in there just goes against that in every way and is just wrong in my opinion if you are giving it away to others. If you are the only one smoking it then it is one thing to take that risk but not with your patients. I want my medicine to help people, not create or exacerbate health issues. It is also important to note that the mites had moved from my flower tent into my veg space and took over my auto berry as well. Damn things are crafty and fast. So that is why I made the decision to destroy them all after 3 months of res changes, pruning, and manifolding on a slow vegging strain. Feel free to chime in with your opinion but I do not and will not regret my decision. I threw out my new clones, mother plant, and auto berry I had on my veg side as well. Shout out to all the other growers out there that do the right thing by their patients. Caregivers > Cash croppers. For anyone curious, I removed everything from my tent and scrubbed it all with a 20% bleach/water solution. All equipment has been wiped down and stored in the garage away from any organic materials. I will give them until tomorrow (2 days) to air out and dry and then I will wipe it down again with bleach and wait another 2 days. Hopefully that will make sure everything is dead and will not come back next grow. That next grow should start in about a week. It sucks but sometimes it happens and you gotta be ready for it. Lesson learned. Never bring outdoor plants into your indoor garden even if it is after just a day or two. A bunch of people on here and Reddit warned me and I did not listen. Now I have learned the hard way and it feels like when your parents "told you so" haha. Thanks to everyone who stopped by along the way. Stay tuned for a new grow coming soon. It is going to be some cool new limited edition Mephisto Illuminautos. I am pretty excited. Good luck out there and always grow from your heart folks. -Grim

4/20 Still having trouble getting seeds to grow! 4 out of 6 seeds from the initial pop have died, so I've popped one more Chemdogging and one more Sour Diesel. Placed the popped seeds directly in the pot they'll stay in for the whole grow per suggestions. Built a 30"x36" trellis out of 3/4" PVC pipe, will install a double trellis netting on it once I set up the Blumat watering system. Also added in a smart power strip that now has built-in timers I can control from my phone. Organized all my extra grow equipment and cleaned up the room! The little pots in the photos are some random seeds I'm starting off in here to give to some friends to grow outdoors. 4/25 - sour diesel popped up today! 5/2 Still no luck getting the Chemdogging to sprout, currently waiting on C-dog and a Blackberry auto to sprout in my other two pots. Set up some random plants from seeds I found in a bag of Black Lime and Cookies, put them in a separate room to flower so I can find out if they're female.

Start of week 3 flowering i have to push this plant in a closet dring the 12h darkness because im still growing autos right now

Continuing on my feed schedule, every 2 days with one full gallon of bubbled RO water. Smell is increasing on initial opening of the tent doors. The smell is a funky coffee chocolate hint, amazing. Can’t wait over the next 2 weeks. All tops are basically tied with bamboo stakes. The pistils are starting to fill in as the buds swell. Continuing with light defoil as leaves shade Bud sites. Thanks for looking everyone, please leave a comment and let me know how it’s going, any pointers as this is my first photo period plant. Cheers!

02.10.2022 - 56 days since my little girl sprouted from seeds🌱 Fourth week of flowering for my Bruce Lemon Diesel 🍋⛽🌻 Nutrients: Jungle Indabox - I serve the same as last week Advanced Nutrientiens - Bud Candy - carbohydrates for my plants 🍭🍭 Building Stimulators 🌼🌼🌼: Jungle Indabox Environ X Advanced Nutrientiens - Big Bud - I applied this week for the last time ATAMI - ATA CALMAG - When growing under LED lights it is recommended to use Calmag and Atami is an excellent brand The plants tolerate the nutrients well, some of the lower leaves showed slight signs of burning, they turned a little yellow and the tips of the leaves were brown 🍃🍃 Therefore, I will continue to use only one Bud Stimulator and that - Jungle Indabox Environ X, I will leave Big Bud from Advanced Nutrientiens for other plants. Training: Defoliation: I still remove the large and lower leaves so that they do not shade themselves 🌞🌞 I'm not planning a bigger defoliation until next week, the girls are a little leafy, but not enough to need more trimming 🌴🌴 General: The girl is already blooming strongly, dense buds are forming 🌸🌸, the branches reach the same height, exactly as I wanted 👍 At the moment it has more leaves than I would like, but I will do more defoliation later, as I wrote 🍃 I will adjust the nutrients from the next watering, I will leave the only bud stimulator 🏵️ 🏵️ The girl no longer grows tall, she puts all her strength and energy into her buds 🌸 Light: Believe - the best light of sponsor Mars Hydro TS 1000 💡💡 Smell: The whole box already smells a lot, the smells mix and flow out of the box, when I open the tent, I get a strong smell of flowering cannabis 🍇⛽🍬 Thanks for your opinions, smile and fun with my diary, you can follow me on Twitter 🐦: @targona666 See you soon 😍

🔘 New week over 🔘Recovery from the training was prompt 🔘She’s running like track star 💫 🔘I added nutes to her water with proper ph to tackle the on going high ph issue. 🔘I can see she’s getting better and thriving 🔘happy growing !

Starting to see purple in the buds! Completely covered in trichomes. Dropping temp to 61 at night. Excited for harvest. Smells sooooo good in here. Covered in purple now. Loving this color change. Super stanky!! Cannot wait!!

Week went again very uneventful. The plant does what she is supposed to be doing (gaining weight) :). Still lots of new pistils appearing overnight, I am checking the Trichomes daily, however, everything remains milky, with only very little % of amber trichomes. Once amber colours start increasing I will start flushing.

Ciao a tutti, sembrerebbe crescere veramente bene!!! Le cime iniziano a crescere sempre di più. E' veramente una pianta meravigliosa, facile da coltivare e per il momento non sembra presentare alcun problema. Sembra apprezzare il calore e la luce del sole. Buona coltivazione a tutti👊👊👊 Hi everyone, it seems to be growing really well!!! The buds start to grow more and more. It is truly a wonderful plant, easy to grow and for the moment it does not seem to present any problems. It seems to appreciate the warmth and light of the sun. Happy cultivation everyone👊👊👊

bei der ganzen veranstaltung wollte ich ja rausfinden ob man auf 100% seramis anbauen kann. ja kann man aber es ist erschwerlich. im grunde ist es eine hydroanbauweise bei der man alles an nährstoffen hinzufügen muss. weil seramis wasser gar nicht so gut speichert wie angenommen hab ich zum ende noch eine tröpfchenbewässerung installiert die jede stunde für 30sec angeht. das hat erstaunlich gut geklappt. postiv hervorzuheben ist das man keine probleme mit trauermücken hat. vielleicht probiere ich nächstes mal halb seramis halb coco.

Gegen Ende der Woche starte ich langsam das Flushing

Dear Grow diaries, I have to listen to what the plants are telling me. looking at the the yellowing of the fans and the trichomes cloudy and amber I think its time to flush as I am 2 weeks out from harvest. This will put the Think different at 77days of flower and as I off set the Fast buds and MSNL by 14 days they should "Theoretically" finish at the same time. I needed this to happen because I only have one tent and it will serve as a drying and curing area. I replace my filter this year and my filter exhaust fan fell on the tangie matic I thought I killed it but its still hanging in there. I flushed with the Clean Fruits from Green Buzz today just over a gallon in each plant. I will flush again with 5 gallons in each pot tomorrow. The tangie and the Carmelicious were very dry the smoothie and the think different were still kind of heavy they are more Indica. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. 2 more weeks till 48hrs of darkness and then the chop. The End Has Begun.

So due to unforeseen circumstances I had to go away. This left me with no choice to harvest at the end of day 52, but I was only planning on running for 56 days anyway. In the end I had a good result in yield and quality.

*01/24 - Week 3 Veg - Snapped a cola when adding bend clips, All clips have been removed - Uptake in nutrient feeds - Lite LST training - Lights running 18/6 - She shot up quickly in a week and 2 days - grew 6.5 inches ( 10 Inches total ) *01/27 - Mid Week 3 Veg - Uptake in nutrient feeds - Normal LST training - Lights running 18/6 - Retied up her main cola - increase in CAL-Mag feed.

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.

Here we are. Week 2. On the Day 8 video, I give my method on how I produce nearly zero larf and huge buds. It's easier than most think 😉

En ce 24/09 guidé par les astres, je décide de me diriger vers mon minuteur et par les pouvoirs qui me sont conféré je diminue la durée du jour et déclare l'arrivée de la phase de floraison. Ensuite, toujours guidé par les astres évidemment, je saisis ma coupe et je pars en quête d'un substrat pour y mélanger ma précieuse poudre de floraison. Après un certain temps me voilà face à une source abondante de terre. Je remue la terre, la frotte entre mes doigts, j'inspire un grand coup dedans afin d'analyser la qualité du substrat et enfin j'y plonge ma coupe. Fier de ma trouvaille, je referme soigneusement ce sachet de terreaux universel.👽 Après avoir mélangés ma poudre à mon terreau, je la dépose en dessous des plantes et je fais un vœux.🙏 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J'ai ajouté environ 25gr de poudre BioBloom par pot de 8L soit environ 3gr/L. J'arrose chaque pot avec environ 1.5L tout les 5 jours. J'ajoute du biohenhanceur 1 fois sur 2 Intensité de la FC3000: 90% Ventilation : 2 ventilateur oscillant ( ON 12/24H) + Extracteur pouces mars hydro power : 2/10 (24h/24h) 🌺👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃👨‍🚀💃🌺 Venez me voir sur instagram 👌: https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/
