Day 10 I started to use the easy plus supplied by RQS, have noticed in the past few days that my intelligent fan doesn’t seem to be turning off in auto on the settings I have pre-installed, I did do a full tent move about on day 11 so I maybe could of done something then? hope this doesn’t turn into a long term issue, however fat banana is starting to grow nicely 🌱👍 I have a 2x2x5 spider farmer tent with 1 passive inlet vent that is always a 1/4 open My spider farmer intelligent fan is set at 80f and rh @ 60 for veg, I have a 6” fan that was set to go off every 30 minutes for 30 minutes on the hour during daylight hours and once for 30 mins every 90 mins during dark hours, that has changed slowly during the week to a point where yesterday I turned on constant during daylight hours and still at 30 mins every 2 hrs during the night and I am still using the personal mist humidifier that keeps the rh at a nice level anyway during this stage… My Viparspectra xs1500 was set at 22” at the beginning of the week at 60% this has changed throughout the week and is now set at 19” and around 87% My feeding pattern has been feed/water/dry day…repeat at 250ml Lights on 8am Lights off 2am Water/feed time 8:30am/9:30am *update 29th April: I have stopped using the Biobizz products in this grow, after properly reading up on all RQS products supplied and realising I’ve already mixed the easy boost pellets in the soil I’ve no need to use these products…hopefully this hasn’t affected my grow thus far, I don’t see any deficiencies as yet and don’t seem to be in a bad shape, she’s actually the tallest plant so far I’ve had in this stage 🤞

Added yellow sticky fly traps to all cubes as a preventative measure to avoid infestation of fungus gnats. So far none have been spotted. Defoliated and did a little more LST to all the plants to open up the center and give more light to lower shoots. Blue Dream 3 and Chemdawg 3 started showing some discoloration on the leaves (yellowing around the veins) and also the leaf tips curling down. Did some research and came up with this... Possible diagnosis: - Yellowing around leaf veins could be a sign of Magnesium or Iron deficiency - Leaf tip curling down could be a sign of Nitrogen Toxicity. - Both could be caused by improper ph balance in water Possible solutions: - Applied Botanicare CalMag+ as a foliar feed and added some to the reservoir. CalMag+ contains Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. - Diluted nutrients in reservoir to lower amount of nitrogen being fed to plants. Was feeding them at 1300ppm, lowered it to 1050ppm - Tested runoff and saw it was coming out at 5.4pH so I increased the pH in the reservoir to 6.0. Now the runnoff is testing at 5.7pH, meaning that my rootzone is in the optimal range of 5.5-5.8 Well wait and see how the plants react to these slight tweaks. Hopefully we start to see a nice healthy even green again.

And here we are... I washed my tent, I don't have time or money to have a new one, but I will change my extractor, too noisy. So I will put tonight my seeds in a glass of water then substrat. A wounderfull mix of 70 % coco 20% perlite and 20% clay pebbles mixed bymyself. 😍😍😍😍 Everything is in the video ☺️♥️☺️ Oh, and I really love my new pots ♥️ 👉👉👉Setup : 👉smartpot style 11L pots : NEW - Will love them I think. 3 off them ;D (and more hidden) Feeling about it ♥️♥️♥️ 👉Coco : 22L about + 6L perlite + 6L Clay pebbles = 7L coco + 2L perlite +2L Clay pebbles per pot buffered with 6.0 p.h water + citrus and 2ml/l. of calmag.

It seems definitly efficient and I am asking myself if they saved my dwarves. Probably. Feeling about it : 😍😍😍 Warming up at germ... Everything went too fast, I didn't expect to launch so early the second run, BUT HEY; QUICK QUICK QUICK ONE everything will be speedy right... 👉 6th of october 2021 / DAY 0 👉 Seeds in a lens cup full of water for 9 hours about... 23h00 👉 7th of october 2021 / DAY 1 👉 Seeds transfered in towel paper ... 10h00 👉 8th of october 2021 / DAY 2 👉 11h00 : i can see something white on seeds, In the hope it will work and start. Last time with dwarves I had super long root who where stuck in the paper, idea is to prevent it by simply check more often. Why the paper towel ? Bcse I want to see if seeds are alive. 16h00 : 2 seeds sprouted, I took the decision to transfer them into their futur nest for a long time, 3 of them. They have name now : QuickPink QuickBlue QuickGreen : the seed at the right side is inside Quickblue, Middle : QuickGreen And the for now not sprouted seed is in QuickPink (I love the name, I really hope she will sprouted. ♥️ 😄😁I love smartpots, I can use safety pins on them ♥️ First feed : Calmag (i messed up, only 1 ml per 3 litters, will do better tomorrow) 1ml + Alg-amic 1ml/3L. + Bio-Heaven 1ml/3L. Bio-Grow 1ml/3L. : 23.5° 3L /// p.h. 6.2 EC 0.7 And yeah, I created super fast fake dome to keep R.h. Up, I never did this so when i will se anyhting green I will take them out. And I have a doubt where I planted them so yeah... Like a dwarf with a pickaxe not paying much attention to details... Right ? 👻 👉 9th of october 2021 / DAY 3 👉 00h00 1L. Extra feed for the 3 quick 👽Calmag 1.2ml/1L + 👽 Alg-amic 0.3ml/1L. +👽 Bio-Heaven 0.3ml/1L. 👽Bio-Grow 0.3ml/1L 22.5° 1L /// p.h. 6.0 EC 0.7 16h00 👽Calmag 1.2ml/1L + 👽 Alg-amic 0.3ml/1L. +👽 Bio-Heaven 0.3ml/1L. 👽Bio-Grow 0.3ml/1L 22.5° 1L /// p.h. 6.0 EC 0.6 /// 500 ml run-off p.h. 6.9 EC 1.2 : run-off seems too high, I hope it will stabilize with time but run-off touch wood from plant roller made of fresh wood... No sign of them 😰 👉 10th of october 2021 / DAY 4 👉 18h00 : I scrached top of my coco (OH MY GOD COCO IS SO GENTLE, SO NICE SO CLEAN SO PERFECT To find my seeds... 💩 AND GREAT NEWS ! 👋Quickblue seems to be the first, I scratched angain, found QuickGreen AND BEST PART; QuickPink IS ALIVE 3/3 !!! TOmorrow will be the day, they will rize and I will open the veg phase. ♥️ 18h00 : 👽Calmag 1.2ml/1L + 👽 Bio-Heaven 0.3ml/1L. 👽Bio-Grow 0.3ml/1L : EC:0.6 I FORGOT TO MESURE AND REDUCE THE PH 😤😰😰😭 first time it happen, waiting to have Quickgreen and Quickpink up to change week. 👉 11th of october 2021 / DAY 5 👉 17h00 : 👽Calmag 0.7ml/1L5 + 👽 Acti-Vera 0.8ml/1L5. 👽Bio-Grow 0.3ml/1L5 : EC:0.6 👽Terra Aquatica Root booster (GHE) 5.0 ml/1L5 p.h. 6.2 EC : 06 👉👉👉 Feedback : I bought today a new nutrient : Terra aquatica root booster... I checked the E.C. EACH TIME i've added a nutrient into water. 👏 First step : Terra aquatica : 2ml : E.C:0.3 (my tap water EC) then + 3ml : E.C. : 0.3 : not affected EC 👏 step 2) Calmag : I reduced the ammount of Calmag : 0.8 ml : E.C. : 0.4 (perfect shot, i noticed that the calmag don't increase too much the E.C.) 👏 step 3) Acti-Vera 0.8ml ---> E.C. : 0.4 So... THis is exaclty what i aimed to start smoothly before increasing e.c... but you will see .... 👏 step 4) Bio-grow : really litteraly 0.3, no extra drops, really well mesured : E.C. 0.8 : Chock. Added 300ml of water : 0.7, an extra 200ml of water : 0.6. I am ok with that for now (and I forgot the bio-heaven but hey, roots first ;D) 👻👻👻 Why not bying biobizz root booster ??? 👻👻👻 😎👉 Because they are minerals, and not organic, mostly iron, zinc, bronz,... I asked to check T.A. nutrients, organic ! Bingo ! Enzymes ! Humic acid ! All the good stuf... So yeah, I betrayed biobizz... Other problem : T.A. propose less bottles, organic and bio products... Well, I may switch to T.A. nutrients or advenced nutrients, don't know yet but I have a good feeling about T.A., their system are used by NAZA, they are good in hydroponics systems... And I love my coco. 😎👉 Indeed, I am not using products specific for cocos but I know what I will neeed to fight : iron. 😎👉 Spoil alert : won't add any pictures for 2-3 days, making an experiment before starting week 1 veg. (only today's pictures...) They are ALIVE 😎👉 R.H. was around 71 % to 80%, now droped a bit, light is on for hours (you will understand why later....) droped after opening windows for fresh air : Temp 23.2° // 51 %

☆♡ Gorilla Cookies: I've noticed a leaf fell off the bottom. I think I may've overdone the nutes. She's growing tremendously. I top dressed with the below, as the rest of my plants. I will only use PH'd water for the next several waterings, probably with Biosys or seaweed. ♡☆ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

EC schrittweise auf 1.3 - 1.4 Die ersten 4 Tage im Video kaum Wachstum (war unterwegs)...Blumat war verstopft...Blätter sind unheimlich dünn geworden und die untersten großen verwelkt...ab Mitte der Woche 4 konnte ich eingreifen...danach bissl manuell LST (mit der Hand gebogen) betrieben und entlaubt...bissl später scrog Netz spannen und Pflanze schön in die Breite ziehen. Im Großen und Ganzen hat sich die Pflanze wieder schnell erholt und gedeiht weiter. Heute auf 12h umgestellt (bin schon ganz aufgeregt...SF1000 raus und SF2000 rein(füllt die gesamte Breite des Zeltes aus😬)...zunächst ca. 45 cm Abstand und 80% trotzdem Photonen schon ca. 40% mehr...in paar Tagen gehe ich auf 100%...habe auch Seitenlampen (Niello T8) bereits installiert aber noch nicht eingeschaltet...evtl. wird das zuviel aber ich experimentiere halt gern...3 Optionen...die Pflanze geht dann richtig ab...Sie geht ein...oder es beeinflusst nichts ausser Stromrechnung.

Another good week! I fed them once on Monday. A final shot to boost them for finishing up. I am pretty certain they will finish within 2 weeks.I also watered them on Thursday and today (Sunday). I defoliated both plants earlier this week as well. For one, I needed to open the canopy up to help keep the humidity down but, there were a lot of leaves yellowing and turning brown. I was not feeding them correctly... in the sense that I wasn't watering enough in between feeds. There were excess nutrients built up in the soil and I believe that led to the nutrient burn. Also, this was my first and only feed without the Grow Big due to flushing for week 9. I followed the Fox Farm feed schedule... but, I think I needed to understand my plants better! I also believe I stunted these girls! One is about 24" tall and the other is 21" tall. Both on the very low end of the growth chart. Overall, I am very happy!! So much to experience and learn in such a short window of time! I've thoroughly enjoyed this grow! I look forward to the harvest and experiencing all that is to come! One last thing... Anyone use GrowBuddy and any word on what is going on with the current download? I've followed the drama around taking so long and all that (the new hardware soon to be for sale for 2.0)... but, the website now says the software is available for free and working on Macs and Windows.... So, I downloaded it last night and I cannot activate an account. Everything has a greyed over kind of look... So, I assume they took some part of their servers offline... Anyone know if this is accurate and has anyone else activated a new account recently? Thanks for any insight!! Peace!

I knew she wasn’t going to get very tall as they are height limited plants so I vegged her until she was as tall as she would get. I lollipped her to an 18” canopy depth in the third week of flower. She reacted very well and even broke my previous single plant harvest record of 434g set by one of my S1 Acid Dough plants!

Week 13 for Gigi! Fifth week of flower: Buds are fattening up and trichomes are becoming milky...Guys if you try to grow this genetic, keep in mind this thing: use a good filter! This plant smells a lot and amazingly good 👍 Day 86: Watered properly with all the nutrients. Rh is about 50/55% and temperature 25°C. Day 90: Watered again with half the nutrients. She drinks a lot. Guys, now it's time to talk about the disaster happened with the lamp 3 weeks ago. The lamp crashed on the main branches snapping them...but Gigi simply doesn't give a s*** about it and flowered. See ya next week and don't forget to love your plant!
