11/15 - Day 43 - I've changed the light schedule on the timer from 20/4 to 18/6. I will be heading out of town for 10 days on December 25th and so I'll need to harvest and hang to dry by the 24th at the latest. I've read in a few forums that decreasing the lights on/lights off ratio can speed flower maturation on auto-flowers. The other growers also mentioned that the decrease in light also reduces yields, but on such a tight timeline I'd trade total yield for more fully ripened buds any day of the week. Would certainly be interested if anybody has experience/knowledge that contradicts what I've read. Plants stretched another 2 inches in the last 24 hours putting them 22 inches from the light. I still have room to raise my light another 2 inches, but if these girls stretch more than 6 more inches they'll be < 18 inches from the light which I'm assuming would cause light burn based on the research i've done on this 600W ViparSpectra reflector series. Here's hoping they don't stretch more than 6 inches from here. 11/17 Day 45 - Haircut day. Left a few fan leaves on the shorter/lower shoots, but took almost everything else. Tallest tops had stretched another 4 inches in the past 48 hours, and were 18 inches from the light. I raised the light the final 2 inches I had available, which places it back to 20 inches from the tallest bud sites. Hopefully the haircut I gave the plants slows down the stretch, but either way it looks like I'll have to do a lot of retraining before I head out of town tomorrow for 5 days. 11/18 Day 46 - Fed nutes. Cal mag + advanced nutrients (micro, grow, bloom), and MKP. 4 Litres of water per plant. A lot of runoff in the saucers, but I'm out of town for the next 5 days so I'm leaving it to be absorbed throughout the week.

A good first week from all the girls overall. They continue to develop as planned. They got watered with the spray bottle until Friday when they got a real watering. This girl is doing okay. Worse growth for this girl cause she fell over after watering. This is the same one that struggled in the beginning to maintain its shape. If anything, she'll make for a smaller plant. Dimmed to 40% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Saturday the seeds popped up and we are underway. Spraying the top of the soil with the water bottle to keep the topsoil moist. Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

DankieDoodle 📅 Vegetative – Week 3, Days 1–7 ✂️ Topping & Transition Week This week marked an important step in shaping the structure all three girls, Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), were topped cleanly above the 4th node to begin forming their SCROG-ready main frame. All cuts healed fast, and the plants responded perfectly zero stress, vibrant color, and compact, even growth. 💧 Watering & Feeding Day 1: Each plant received 1 L of water, following the regular schedule. Absorption was perfect no runoff, great structure, and a healthy, active root zone. Water Mix: RootJuice — 1 ml/L Biobizz Heaven — 2 ml/L Epsom Salt — 0.15 g/L pH — natural (7.4 tap water) 💡 Environment: Temp: 25 °C RH: 68–70 % PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %) Cycle: 18/6 VPD: ~1.0 kPa 🌿 Midweek (Day 4) All three plants were watered again with 1 L each, using the same nutrient mix. Substrate dried evenly, roots are expanding rapidly, and all three show symmetrical, low-stress growth. 🌞 End of Week (Day 7) By Day 7, the pots were drying out completely after only two days a clear sign of a well-developed root system. The Autopots were activated today to let the plants get used to consistent moisture levels before the next growth stage. 🚀 Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) Note: Between Day 5 and Day 7, she showed explosive vertical growth, pushing herself right into 650 µmol/m²/s PPFD resulting in slight tip burn on the top leaves. Nothing serious, just a light stress mark from her incredible vigor. The light intensity has since been adjusted down to 550 µmol/m²/s for all plants to maintain perfect balance and canopy health. 🌱 Summary: Structure after topping looks perfect four strong mains on each. All three cultivars are balanced, compact, and healthy. Radical Juice shows top-tier growth potential; all plants are ready for the next phase. A clean and productive week steady growth, solid recovery, and the Autopots now active to keep the rhythm flowing. Next step: another topping and the first round of gentle LST to open up the canopy evenly 🌿✨

So she's grown a lot since last week! The mutation is looking a little crazy still and I attempted LST and messed it up totally. Im sure it'll all work out in the end but I really would like to start widening the plant and use some horizontal space while we're still in veg. This could potentially be my longest grow, in duration. So I'll definitely need to train ASAP anyway. Here is what I did this week. 10.7.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 5.9 and containing the following nutrients; 💜 1/2 TSP Cal-Mag 💜 1/2 TSP Mega Crop Part A PH: 5 9 PPM: 1510. Thanks for checking in and hanging out this week 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

I've raised light to 30" with a ppfd of 180. Still just watering every couple days. Know I need to increase temp. Sitting at around 20.5°C. Want that above 23/24°C right!? **Edit** 1. Bought a heater for tent. 3/11. 2. Light lowered to 24", increased to 40% = tent centre now at 400ppfd

Not much to report. About 4 weeks to go. Everything seems to be progressing nicely but I don't have really have enough experience to really be sure if it's optimal. I'm hoping they really start to fatten up soon. Started PK 13/14 on day 40 of flower.

3 of the 4 seeds popped. I can see the other one in the rapid rooter but I added another stardawg just to keep things moving. I started with 300 ppm and got the NFT system running and new HLG 260’s at 36” above them turned all the way down.

Nothing to update on, still just watering when needed. Starting to think about flushing process for a few of the plants soon, As they seem to be maybe a week or so ahead of the rest. Defoliating a little just where where have leaves blocking bud sights.

Lampe 100% Die drei Damen haben die 1m-Marke geknackt. 🌱🌱 Die GC hab ich rausgenommen – wegen des Platzes, aber auch, weil sie einfach übelst nachhing. 😅 Jetzt haben die anderen mehr Raum. Hab ein Netz eingezogen, um die Triebe besser zu verteilen und sie etwas von der Lampe wegzubekommen (nur noch ca. 23 cm Abstand zu den obersten!). Sonst alles mehr als stabil: Die Blattfarbe sieht super aus und die Buds werden schon deutlich dicker.💪🔥 Mo:(Fotos) Di: Gießen: 6L je nach Bedarf Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 1,7 ml/L PK 13/14 = 0,7 pH: 6.03 EC: 1.89 Drain: Mi: Do: Gießen: 6L je nach Bedarf Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1 ,5ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 1,7 ml/L PK 13/14 = 0,8 pH: 5.88 EC: 1.85 Drain: Fr: Sa: Gießen: 4L je Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 2 ml/L PK 13/14 = 1 pH: 5.8 EC: 1.9 So: Gießen: 4L je Dünger: Canna Coco A&B = 1,5 ml/L CalMag = 0,8 ml/L Cannazym = 0,8 ml/L Boost = 2 ml/L PK 13/14 = 1 pH: 5.8 EC: 1.9

Heerlijke harde volle toppen en voor het eerst dat ik harsdruppels zie. Een heerlijke strain om te growen. De plant wordt in zijn geheel opgehangen en ik zal het droge gewicht wegen.

I've increased the feed and light now. I will repot soon . I've pulled the browned leaves from the lower stem and the new growth is slowly turning green . They'll burst into stretch mode once I repot them next week . Hope everyone's grow is going well and the sun is shining on you 🌞

Hi guys, Welcome back to Queen Peaky's Grasslands This week we will dedicate it to just rinsing the soil to discard all excess nutrients😎 You can already perceive some excellent smells👻 I hope you l
