previous watering was fed with liquid nutrients, my temperatures are not low so the nutrients come slowly with some intervals giving only water without much runoff occurring a mixture of soil and mycorrhizae for better performance i know i needed calcium and magnesium good the problem was money, i will continue with epsom salt the option i have direct sulfur in the soil has helped me hear a visible change. water ph 6.2 solution temperature 20 ° - 0.50 g of great white mycorrhiza 2 days earlier were sprayed with water without ppm via leaves - lights off to serve as a cooling shower in the heat is great for stomata . Simple led panel added as main light source 260watts being divided to 3 plants in the fullspectro tent model, did not get much difference in temperatures compared to HPS, is more the same spectro ratio and UV to reach more directly in the trichomes and terpenes. Large leaves, like a true sativa even if they are long, go in equally straight and thin shape, trichomes with glands larger than their sister, but this one in front really does not hear physical stress from something just high temperature training, but are very resistant To this, I imagine later on taking this same genetics at favorable temperatures and hydro. A strong smell that I will have to turn to buy a filter, I can not with curious and malicious neighbors need to really contain the smell.

Day 15 - 4/10/21: Welcome to the first day of the 3rd week.... All good it is a lovely group ;) Very lovely. Let's see then what changes happened since last week: Lamp is set to be on 150W approx 60% of the full power..... enough..... they love this ViparSpectra XS2000.... So Do I..... Himidity stays on approx 60% Ventilation is fine every 2 hours switched on for 5 min.... Watering like 0.06 l per day.... Started some fertilization also with Bat Guano, Biobizz family /before someone ask why I use BioBloom and Top Max in veg just beacuse lol/ And... Epsom salt.... Ratio can be found just scroll down.... And yes, I do it on Tuesday and Saturday except the Epsom just 1x a week the rest then 2x for now. All of them are beautiful and the first LST has been done basically just bent them to the right or left haha for now except Afghani Gold and Spliffs Strawberry because they are basically just 2 weeks old so too young to be trained. I assume Blue Berry has a little funny deficiency but I am sure she will be okay anyways I will colour her back lol with some magic nutrition 🤣🤣🤣 As you can see 2 of them are smaller /Afghani Gold, Spliffs Strawberry/ because they are younger: planted 1 week later as the first germination failed. Pictures sYs everything so not much more to say... ;)

9/13 Took the last special Kush today. I had too. Those fucking locusts were eating more and more. At least the trichs looked good. The second plant is straight fire! They're ALL good. I'll have to do the review. Tenth planet is swelling up and trichs are getting cloudier. They are starting to eat the chem dog too but it needs to bulk up and the trichs aren't there yet. Mk ultra natural may be some of the best quality this year. I'm losing SOME to tje locusts but it seems they avoid the frostier stuff. At least I'm hoping. This is a great plantvand despite the nugs being so tight and stuff it just needs more time and im going to give it to her. Pink kush is actually look9ng like it might finish. But the locusts have STRIPPED a lot of that. I'll keep an eye on them and keep this uodated.

Today is the first day of Week 6! This past week in the 4x4 “Blackbox” Tent, the front right Hella Jelly continued to thrive and push new growth, this one seems to be the most vigorous of the plants in the tent. The front left Hella Jelly struggled with some droopiness this past week, and one or two of her fan leaves had holes from what I’m guessing may have been a caterpillar or some other pest. I ended up cutting some of the lower fan leaves to keep the plant high away from the soil. The Vanilla Frosting in the back left was stunted a bit by the topping, but now she seems to be doing well, she is sturdy and the new growth seems healthy. Her sister on the right is two weeks behind and hasn’t really taken off since being transplanted. I’m hoping Week 6 (her Week 4) will be her week to really start pushing new growth. I needed to get the humidity higher in a couple of the tents and, not having any extra humidifiers available, I decided to try hanging a beach towel from a hanger in the tent. I dangled the end of the beach towel in a 5-gallon bucket of water, allowing it to wick up the moisture. This increased the humidity in the 4x4 by 20% (from 37%-57%). This was incredibly helpful because my “smart” humidifier is currently dedicated to the drying of my recent Apple Fritter harvest, and my other humidifier is not larger enough to maintain the humidity in the larger 5x9 tent for more than 18 hours before drying up. When watering the 4x4 this week, I added 1/4 tsp/gal of Quillaja extract, 1 tsp/gal of Rootwise “Mycrobe Complete,” and 1 oz/gal of Thrive “Holy Cow” Yah-Whey fermented extract. I also top dressed with Kashi Gold from BuildaSoil and worm castings (about 1/2-1 inch layer). I water 3 times this week, the goal being to maintain even moisture. The cover crop has been thriving, and by the end of the week it was time for a chop and drop. I did so and added it back to the soil and aLeo added more straw as a mulch layer. Something else that was exciting this week, was adding 2,000 worms to the 8 30-gallon living soil pots in the 5x9. Before I added the worms that I ordered(from Buckeye Organics), I tried using avocados, cut in half and laid face down on the beds of soil in the 4x4. This worked surprisingly well! The worms are very attracted to the avocado and end up creating a “worm ball” where they rub up against each other, reproducing and creating even MORE baby worms. I did this several times, moving the worm “orgies” to a few of the 30-gallon pots, simply by transferring the avocados. This was my first time using “avocado tech,” and I have to say, it worked SO well. Looking at upcoming Week 6, I’m hoping to see more growth from the 3 vigorous plants, and for the Vanilla Frosting that is a couple weeks behind, I’m hoping for her to begin filling out more. The goal is to flip to flower in the next 1-2 weeks, unless I decide we need to go longer. Full steam ahead!

Pistils are starting to turn orange/brown, the buds are getting large and smell so sweet (and dank!) at this point, maybe because of the sweet candy? I'm pleased. Can't wait for harvest, hopefully 4 weeks left, going to start flushing around the 23rd when the trichs are starting to turn cloudy/amber

LAST FEED 7/7 7/8 I'm very excited with how my little grow is turning out. Preflower are forming on my mendo breath. Slurricanes are a little behind. I'm wondering when to switch to flower nutes. We will be getting thunderstorms today and this weekend. I obtained four blow up mattresses and cut them, zip tied them together and covered with gorilla tape. Since I didnt have enough lumber to frame the top of my fence I will not be able to use the rain guard tonight. I think they will be fine Having a frame that I could staple it too very quickly would be invaluable especially in the fall. 7/9 I added some additional supports last night. Glad I did as I have no damage and that was a huge storm. Preflowers are forming and smell is pungent. 7/10 Fog was heavy this morning but the sun is out now. Looks like it will be nice all day. I found a spider web at the bottom of a plant wrapped at the base of the stem. I've been killing pregnant spiders that will fold the leaves and web them together to hatch there babies in. The webs they weave are extremely durable. I swept up app webs which were easy to see do to the most and fog. I still see some pillar damage so I think you I might hit them with captain Jack's that way if I'm missing something I can spray before I transition to flower nutes. I watered today as I wasnt sure how much rain the plants had got and I didnt water yedterday. 7/11 It poured all night. It was the type of rain plants love. A bit heavy at times. I had to check plants with an umbrella. No damage. Everything looks good. I took no pictures due to the rain. As soon as I left it stopped raining. The sun came out yesterday and it was extremely humid. Plants seemed to love it. I'm really debating when I should switch to flower nutes. Went back later in the day. Sun came out and it was humid as hell. I took a couple pictures. 7/12 Heavy thunder showers gave way to sunny skies. I fed today and increased to 2tsp grow big and used micro bre instead of kango roots. It hasn't been a week yet but I will be away for a week and family will be caring for my plants. I will still monitor via security feeds and the morning through facetime. My plants seem to be doing super good and I hate to leave them even for a night. Oh well. I'll have to hope a masters in forestry and a masters on botany will suffice to care for my garden. Honestly I'd probably rather have a smelly hippie looking after them. At the local store brown tail moths coated the store. It was ridiculous. I applied BT heavily to my entire crop and actually say a few moths fly out from under the plants. It's been so dry the moths biggest predator (a form of algae) didnt grow. The CDC issued guidelines as they are poisonous. If you've never had problems with worms you might this year. 7/13 like I said family is watching my grow for a few days so I'm not sure if I'll be posting. I may have pictures sent and facetime. I can always check the cameras anyway. I sprayed BT last night just to be safe. That was unreal. I'm worried to leave my girls but I know it's just my anxiety disorder. When I get back I'm switching the mendo breath to flower nutes. Maybe slurricane too. What do you guys think? Hope you enjoy the video. I had much better internet connection. 7/14 I'm super lucky to have the family I do. They have taken pictures for me and facetimed my plants. I can monitor with my cameras but it's great to facetime and look really close.

Day 35 is here. We are a week into flower and most the plants are just starting to hit that flowering stretch. I have been bending them down a little every couple days, but I need to focus on cleaning up some of the bottom branches so we can keep good air flow through the plants. Will work on that through this next week. I haven't done a water change, just been topping off the reservoir with fresh nutrients as they drink it up. Feeding half and half maxigro and maxibloom. Will cut out the maxigro in a couple weeks when I notice their stretch slowing down. I had a plant overflow this week because the drain line is getting full of roots. I noticed a couple roots have made their way into the reservoir already. I set a pump timer to 1 minute on and 20 minutes off so they can drain properly. I would like to make it through the grow without having to mess with the drains, but we will see what happens. I will make some modifications if needed. Other than that everything is running smooth and I hope we have some little pistils to show by next week. Thanks for stopping by ✌️

Week 4 is coming along well. Idk if you guys can see in the photos but I’m getting some leaf damage as if some pest is in my garden eating the leaves. Are there any things I can do to eliminate the possible threat? Transplanted the following plants as well. Deadly Sativa (Unknown gender), Jelly Breath, La Kush Cake, and Platinum Scout V2 into 1 Gal. Pots. Due to the other plants being behind I might just run these 4 thru flower. Also got rid of the mutant Newberry. Stay tuned as these girls will only be in veg for a few more weeks.

We have made it to day 42! 31/12/20 All the girls have started flowering now! I'm super keen to see them start to thicken up. Feeding as usual, nothings changed. Update - day 46 04/01/21 I'm a little concerned about the 2 runts that were laggin behind the rest, all of a sudden theyve decided they want to take up most of the room in the tent. I've never grown autos so big.. I was contemplating putting the runts outside but it's just going to make more problems as my outdoors are under attack from some kind of bug. I will keep the diary updated on the runts, other than that the other girls are doing just great, flowering is really coming along. Thanks for stopping by!

Honestly I'm not exact with my nutrients sometimes putting twice as much in one gallon then half as much in the next.

Stoney_Stark Week 2 Update — Sticky Broccoli Auto Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Stage: Early Veg (Week 2) ⸻ Growth Overview Plants are establishing well and responding positively to automation. No visible stress from the siphoning incident. What initially appeared to be a nitrogen deficiency was later identified as a magnesium deficiency common in coco systems, with a light green fade also indicating the early onset of nitrogen demand. ⸻ Irrigation & Automation • Transitioned to auto-irrigation emitters this week • Distribution appears even across all plants • Initial siphoning issue identified and corrected by removing pump after feed cycle • Monitoring pot weight closely to avoid overwatering ⸻ Watering & Feeding Log 1/29 — First Auto-Irrigation Run • Amount: ~¼ gallon per plant • PPM: 420 • pH: 5.9 Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 4 ml Cocos A • 4 ml Cocos B • 2 ml Power Roots • 3 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 2 ml Photo+ • 1 ml Fish Sh!t Notes: First run with emitters. Feed appeared evenly distributed. ⸻ 1/31 — Siphoning Incident • Issue: 5-gallon bucket siphoned into all 4 plants • Result: No negative plant response observed Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 4 ml Cocos A • 4 ml Cocos B • 2 ml Power Roots • 3 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 2 ml Photo+ • 1 ml Fish Sh!t ⸻ 2/1 — Auto-Irrigation Dialed In • Feed Time: 1 minute • Runoff: Small amount • Adjustment: Pump removed immediately after feed to prevent siphoning Observations: • Noticed early light green coloration initially interpreted as nitrogen deficiency • Adjustments made to increase available nitrogen Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 4 ml Cocos A • 4 ml Cocos B • 2 ml Power Roots • 3 ml Pure Zym • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 2 ml Photo+ • 1 ml Fish Sh!t • +2 ml additional Cocos A • +1 ml Royal Rush ⸻ 2/2 — Moisture Hold • Pots felt heavy • Decision made to skip watering for 1–2 days to avoid overwatering ⸻ 2/3 — Light Auto Feed + Deficiency Diagnosis • Feed Time: 1 minute • Pots: Still holding moisture; irrigation paused for the next couple days Updated Diagnosis: • What initially appeared to be nitrogen deficiency was confirmed to be magnesium deficiency, common in coco when running low-mineral water • The light green coloration also indicates the beginning stages of increased nitrogen demand Correction Plan: • Adding Scientetics MagCal at 2 ml per gallon starting next feed to supply readily available magnesium and calcium • Nitrogen levels maintained via Cocos A and Royal Rush without over-increasing EC Nutrients (per gallon): • 0.5 ml Silicium • 6 ml Cocos A • 6 ml Cocos B • 3 ml Power Roots • 4 ml Pure Zym • 4 ml Photo+ • 2 ml Fish Sh!t • 1 ml Royal Rush • (MagCal to be added next feed) ⸻ Issues & Adjustments • Magnesium deficiency: Identified and corrected with planned MagCal supplementation • Early nitrogen demand: Being met through controlled increases to Cocos A and Royal Rush • Overwatering risk: Managed via pot-weight monitoring and irrigation pauses • Auto-irrigation: Functioning correctly after siphon fix ——— Deficiency Learning Note This week provided a useful reminder about how nutrient deficiencies present in coco-based systems. What initially appeared to be early nitrogen deficiency was identified as magnesium deficiency, which commonly manifests as a light green fade and interveinal chlorosis on lower leaves. In coco, magnesium can become limiting even when using coco-specific base nutrients, particularly when running low-mineral or RO water. The light green coloration also coincided with increasing nitrogen demand as the plants transitioned deeper into vegetative growth. Rather than aggressively raising EC, the correction strategy focused on restoring magnesium availability while maintaining balanced nitrogen levels. ⸻ Plan for Week 3 • Introduce Scientetics MagCal at 2 ml/gal • Allow pots to dry slightly before next irrigation • Monitor color correction in new growth • Fine-tune auto-irrigation timing and volume • Gradually increase feed strength as plants size up
