Week commencing Friday 29/01/21; - Switched from veg nutes to bloom nutes as the flowering had definitely started. Using half dosage and alternating feeds with clean water and nutrient water. - Acquired a Brita 8.2l filter tank to remove chlorine, lead etc. Couldn't hurt! - Dramatic height increase from the previous week. - Strange right angle clawing on two of the fat bananas. Pretty sure it's heat stress. - The water intake has increased to at least 750ml per plant. - Some lower tier leaves discoloured. Again, I'm pretty sure it's heat stress. - Stopped the LST this week. The stems have become very rigid and I don't want to risk damage. - I have definitely run out of space and have employed SOG by default. I'll defoliate further next week as I don't want to shock the plants in the early stages of flowering. - The heat is peaking too high and I have started opening the door for ventilation. No extraction is causing all sorts of heat regulation problems. God knows what the peaks are when I'm not here. - I have ordered a digital hygrometer that will display 24 hour highs and lows of temp and RH.

Here we are at the halfway point, after the first month our photoperiod plants are multiplying their florets and then going into flowering. The Purple Urkle has just undergone the topping of 8 florets, you can see the 4 fresh florets just cut. So we are at 8 very small branches growing my program for photoperiodic plants is to get to 16 wait a few days and move on to flowering. 16 Tops as I see it is the perfect size for the 11 liter pot. You are going strong from the beginning there was a bit of a shortage but as I explain this week during the topping everything changes. We are in competitive days, the world lives the competition in a lively way and so if someone were to ask me or were interested which is the best of the photoperiodic plants I have inside for now I would say the Purple Urkle. Topping is an extremely delicate moment as regards cutting the tops to split them, we always take care not to damage the new branches in growth. Topping is also a delicate moment as regards fertilization because the plant slows down and absolutely does not need all that nitrogen that it would normally need and that the producers recommend in their sheets. So you should arrive with the plant green and perfectly fit at this point and dose the fertilizer very well for growth. Mine came from a slightly deficient veg because I kept it low fearing this over effect during the topping that I know well and now they are a bit over. Nothing to worry about, of course, but if you do repeated topping my advice is to use preferred soil or prepare the soil with Monster Bud Mix by Zamnesia or Plagron Super Mix, in short, enrich the soil and from the start and add nitrogen only if necessary, especially during repeated topping. In any case, everything is under control and I will demonstrate it to you during the flowering phase. Wait for the Uncle BreadandBuds and see what he does. Remember the cold temperature makes the girls absorb food much more slowly than in summer so be careful to give the right amount and to dry the plant in maximum 2 days or you risk imbalances. We are still using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100& organic we just lowered the amount of grow in this topping phase for the reasons above. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer schedule according to the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11168-zamnesia-seeds-purple-urkle.html Zamnesia Description // A direct descendant of a Mendocino Purps phenotype, Purple Urkle is a high-performance cultivar from Zamnesia Seeds. This feminized, indica-dominant strain is sure to win over any cannabis grower. With a THC content of 20%, Purple Urkle has a lot to offer from seed to harvest and beyond. A grape-flavored adventure, Suitable for indoors, outdoors or in the greenhouse, Purple Urkle is a very resilient strain. Growers will be impressed by how easy this cultivar can be managed. Purple Urkle can reach 120cm indoors and 160cm outdoors, but if you want more control over the height you can use the LST technique. Purple Urkle has fantastic flavors and aromas that intensify during the flowering phase. Regardless of the method of consumption, Purple Urkle offers tangy, fruity flavors that lean towards notes of grapes, berries and plums. The effects of this strain are soothing and relaxing, with uplifting sensations that make the experience suitable for any occasion, whether in a social setting or alone. All the best that mother nature can offer is on ---- www.zamnesia.com

A lot of spreading this week. They basically doubled in size if not more and are now starting to grow up. Due to this incredible growth I've cut some leaves of the bottom; they've just gotten over grown by other leaves and the top to let more light in.

Day 61 - April 11, 2021 Today was full of headaches lol. Checked the PH of the reservoir this evening and it had dropped to 4.6. Algae exploded in the past day. Removed reservoir and pumps and cleaned thoroughly. Thankfully just prepped a new batch of nutrient solution. Humidifier hasn't had to run all week. Will be switching to dehumidifier soon. Foliar Spray (9:30PM): * ~1 Gallon RO Water (EC 0.05) * 5ML Liquinox Iron & Zinc * 5ML CalMag+ per Gallon * 0.5ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize per gallon * PH 5.85 * EC 0.64 Mixed 50-gallons nutrient solution: ** 40-gallons RO Water ** 10-gallons Tap Water (In replace of Cal-Mag+) *** RO + TAP water base ~0.40 EC ** 0.5 ML Mills Nutrients Vitalize (per gallon) ** 8.0 ML Mills Nutrients Basis A & B (per gallon) ** 6.0 ML Mills Nutrients C-4 (per gallon) ** 1.47 EC Watering: 010:00AM-10:08AM ~0.25 gallons per pot 02:00PM-02:08PM ~0.25 gallons per pot 6:00PM-6:08PM ~0.25 gallons per pot 8:00PM-8:08PM ~0.25 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 9:45PM * 1.47 EC * 6.18 PH * 74.48F Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 12-hours (10:00AM - 10:00PM) ** 10:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 12-hours (10:PM - 10:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-81F (76F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 55%-70% (69% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 60%-70% RH (Lights Off) ~1407PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~780PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 62 - April 12, 2021 Hands off in the garden today. Watering: 010:00AM-10:08AM ~0.25 gallons per pot 02:00PM-02:08PM ~0.25 gallons per pot 6:00PM-6:08PM ~0.25 gallons per pot 8:00PM-8:08PM ~0.25 gallons per pot Reservoir: * tested 8:45PM * 1.48 EC * 5.95 PH * 74.12F Lights: * Gavita LEDs On 12-hours (10:00AM - 10:00PM) ** 10:00AM Lights On (100%) * Gavita LEDs Off 12-hours (10:PM - 10:00AM) * UV Bars On 8-hours (12:00PM - 8:00PM) Air control: 69F-81F (79F AVG) (Lights On) 66F (Lights Off) 65%-70% (69% AVG) humidity (Lights On) 65%-75% RH (Lights Off) ~1370PPM CO2 (Lights On) ~840PPM CO2 (Lights Off) Day 63 - April 13, 2021 The Titan Apollo 9 timer using for water pumps is glitching out. It's randomly reset 2x over the last couple days. At first thought it was a fluke and maybe bump the reset button somehow. Seems unlikely, it randomly resets clock to 12am and erases the programmed times. Think I'm going to give a smart plug a shot instead (at least I can see notifications if scheduler fails) So far seeing pistols on all ladies. No nannards so far. Will be working on canopy this weeking and will take close look at each.

Waiting for Anden dehu to arrive. Also replaced the Titan Apollo 9 controller for water pumps as it keeps randomly resetting and has proved unreliable. Testing a smart plug and will create some conditions with IFTTT to send notifications to ensure pumps don't miss schedules, shut off correctly, etc. Plants are doing well. Pistols are popping out faster and faster. Planning to do some canopy management this weekend and will be inspecting to make sure there aren't any pollen sacs forming.

Added a humidifier to the tent to try to raise the humidity. The ladies are doing great, nice green leaves and she is showing her pistols. I do a foliage spray with voodoo juice and cal /mag Xtra 3x a day.

Week 1 of the flower/transition is in the books and so far, so good. After chopping out all but the best branches from each plant we flipped the light cycle and dropped some more clones in to the aerocloner. I am so done with this run of genetics but still can’t deny quality cuts when they’re available. Again, if there was a run to test out this new system with it’s definitely this one. We’ve been plagued by calmag, nute burn, nute def. across all of em at some point over the last 8 months. But since incorporating the Druid nutes - all of Em have been perfect👌. This should be a prefect opportunity to see exactly what kind of buds each of these strains throws out👍. Background This ones tied to part 2 of the pollen chuck. They were supposed to be a clone run for pollination but the mothers all reveg’d due to a timer incident and high stupidity. These will be the inaugural flowering run of the revamped dutchy system. Growing made easy😉. Shit ton of finagling and setup but once she’s ready - sit back, relax and watch em grow😍😎. Thanks for take’n a look.

I took a sample off the bud to see how it’ll look dried, so the plan is to cut the plant off Sunday! All I wanted is something to smoke and at this point I’m happy that seems to be the reality after the drying&curing process! Amazing feel! Some powdery mildew starting but shouldn’t be a problem if I cut soon!

Ants 🐜 Love It! Peter Tosh nah’ lie because these ants won’t leave the girls alone especially when they’re ripping but moving forward I would grow in a greenhouse because I am having other pest problems.

Welcome to my Seedsmam Tiny/rare contest Diary. VD9-12 Again with this strain. Picked up something in her infancy. She either got a disease. That I can't put my finger on. But, defo too early to be anything other than what it is. A disease.. I used 6% H202 last week when this started to show.. seems to have helped. Decent growth this week. (Made up a 50ml solution..1/5 ratios h202/water) Will be keeping a close eye on this one. Hoping she'll pull through. Not giving up on her as of yet. Her growth is ok. And there is enough to push her through to get some decent growth to push her into full veg. Stem is still very thin.. and a lot longer than I'd like at this stage of growth. Thanks for dropping by. Drop a like or comment so I can visit your diaries. Either way, thanks for dropping by. Shout out to my sponsor, (rep) from barneysfarm, much appreciated for sending me great strains. Hope now I can do em justice.
