* ***************** Week 4 - May 2 to 8, 2020 - Days 22 to 28 from germination ********************** * It was a good growth week for her....compared to the other girls😀 Killer Kush is taking the higher pH better than some of the other girls. End of veg coming soon so starting to introduce Rezin this week. Overall there was not a lot of activity this week as life was busy outside the tent☹️ Slit cut in the bottom of the bag has noticeably allowed the moisture to run off quicker leaving less time in the bag to mess with things.........so why still battling high pH issues? Tried tp keep things lighter this week as not sure what is happening to the medium?? Thinking there is an issue with the fabric bags because nothing else has changed?? All that is in the medium is coco and perlite....I am controlling the pH at 5.0 with a calibrated pen?? There are 4 plants all suffering the same issue so going to transplant 2 of them into plastic pots and work on ruling out the fabric pots.....there isn’t anything left. Killer Kush has been pushing through this better than others and growing better so deciding to leave her in the fabric bag. Since acknowledging there is a pH issue I reacted with regular, heavier waterings and she seemed to be in a good enough pH range to uptake most of the base nutrients and has been growing. I will keep up the regular watering to runoff and work on controlling the pH through these increased feedings. Little more detail......... May 2/20 - Day 22 - 2L feed - CalMag @ 0.5ml, Vitathrive, Sensyzime, Pranha, Voodoo @ 1ml, Dual Fuel @ 1ml - 625ppm and 5.0pH. - Bringing ppm closer to 700 by end of week. May 3/20 - Day 23 - 2L feed - Vitathrive, Velokelp, Densyzime, Rezin, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml - 685ppm with 5.0pH - runoff numbers - 480ppm with 7.2pH - she is eating but the pH is not coming down. - leaves wider and looking happier this morning - Been hitting them with a fair number of enzymes with the intent of helping to cleanup any issues building in the medium. May 4/20 - Day 24 - dry out day - she is still not taking off vertical in her growth - her leaves are getting bigger. May 5/20 - Day 25 - 2L plain watering pH to 5.0 with 40ppm - just plain watering with low pH to keep working the medium down. - leaf color is nice.....not overly green....no burnt tips May 6/20 - Day 26 - 1.5L feed - Dual Fuel, Vitathrive @ 1ml, CalMag, VeloKelp @ 0.5ml - 675ppm and 5.1pH - She is still slow overall - stem is getting thicker....good sign - twisted, rolled, and moved around most branches on the girl. Was fairly abrupt on purpose. May 7/20 - Day 27 - 1L light feeding - VeloKelp @ 1ml, Sensyzime @ 2ml - she is looking a little bigger all around - branches thickened more this week. May 8/20 - Day 28 - Dry out day That ends week 4. Half the girls in fabric pots and half in plastic. Giving lots of water to keep pH from drifing. This grow is not flowing on autopilot hmmmmmmm👌👍🙏

This week was absolutely torturous had an accident in which one of my plants was damaged fortunately I do not believe that all is lost I will just have to hold her back on sending her into flour with the rest until she is completely healthy I have sent one into flower a bit early just to see if I could and seems to be working swimmingly

This thing is insane! Rapidly growing everyday. I need to keep it under control for another for about 30 more days before I can fit it in my other tent.

👇 This week: --- Watering 1l-1.5l every day. PPFD at canopy height approximately 900 (increase slowly), VPD ~1.3 Big defoliation, lollipopped some plants at day 21, will wait for the last 2 till day 28 Ladys got 500ml compost tea each (biotabs recipe from kees) from now on every week - Recipe: 15gr compost PK/L, 5ml orgatrex/L, 1gr bactrex/L - brew for 24-36h) --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

The tent ist getting really full rn. Big defoliation and lollipopping in the coming days . The Lemon Orange stretching crazy. The Blueberry Pancakes are Bushmonsters with lots of Side branches. One of the BBP has little Nitrogen deficiency. Nothing serious. All in all very healthy plants. Waiting for the first trichomes and aroma in the tent. ~55- 60 % rh ~ 21-26 celsius

I’m looking forward for this CBD pure strain, Dutch Passion was kind to send me three for their strains. ------VEG SETUP------ -HOMEBOX TRIANGLE+ .4sqm -1X CREE CXB3590 100w cob -INTAKE FAN HIGH PRO - 107 m³/h -EXHAUST FAN PROFAN - 220 m³/h -TWO SMALL VENT FANS -HUMIDIFYER WHEN NEEDED -50%PERLITE 50%SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS with organic correction, so is a very light soil. ———NUTRIENTS——— This will be an organic grow. Will use a super soil Subcool recipe as base, water will not be ph, and Biobizz to suprement at low doses. Mykos, Azos and Recharge for the roots and a compost tea every now and then. It has been cooking for 4weeks. Pots will get 1/3 filled with the super soildiluted 1 part super soil to 1 parts my base soil, and this will gradually increase 1/3 1 part super soil to 2 parts base, and the top 1/2 with only the base soil. ———CBD CHARLOTTE’S ANGEL - DUTCH PASSION——— GENETICS Dutch Charlotte x Red Angel VARIETY Mostly Sativa THC CONTENT <1% CBD CONTENT 10 - 16% FLOWERING TIME. 63 - 84 days TASTE / FLAVOUR Diesel, Pine, Spicy / Herbal EFFECT Calming, Relaxing - 1st prize "Medical", Highlife Cup, Netherlands 2018 Charlotte’s Angel is a sativa dominant variety with high CBD levels, 10 to 16% and low THC levels, always below 1%. It’s a non-psychoactive variety offering medical benefits without the high, delivering a strong body effect and a calming, anti-anxiety experience. She takes 9-12 weeks to flower and comes with a herbal aroma with piney diesel undertones. Genetics come from Dutch Charlotte (CBD rich clone) crossed with Red Angel (clone-only Amsterdam CBD variety). Charlotte’s Angel is popular with cannabis lovers that want to enjoy a joint without getting stoned and is suitable for making concentrates. You get a satisfying experience with the same taste and aroma as a high-THC variety. You feel medicated, yet you are not high, it gives the user a positive feeling of well-being, it is almost impossible to explain unless you’ve tried it! Dutch Passion’s first low THC variety, CBD Charlotte’s Angel®️

Esta es una genética de un olor muy fuerte y pesado se siente intenso desde la vegetación , es una variedad muy resinosa con unos colores morados hermosos , probando las flores cuando terminó el secado y ahora curando las flores se siente un sabor terroso , al principio no me gusto ya que nunca había probado este , pero después al seguir fumando se siente un sabor final muy agradable. Esta genética se conservará para futuros cruces y experimentar algo nuevo. muy conforme con la producción de cada clon

These GroBuckets are pretty awesome. I'm barely having to do anything but keep the reservoir full and LST a bit.

Week 5 Day 39 Tucked what i could and they've popped back up pretty quick some started stretching more. It's a 6 inch trellis which has way to much space per square. I wish i could've found a 3 inch square trellis that was plastic instead of rope. Going to look into making my own next run. Feed liquid nutes twice a week

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

**I am glad I saved pics. from weeks 1-3 because I was lagging in getting this account setup** - with that's being said, the "girls" (speaking it into existence) are coming along quite well. My last grow I used Green Planet's: Medi-One from veg - harvest, and although the overall turnout was pretty good, I just felt like I was a little heavy handed. This time I am trying something a little different and I'll be feeding the plants coconut water and potentially: -rice water** -banana peel water -boiled egg shell water -onion skin water* I am trying to do this as organic/affordable as possible, and although I haven't seen many cannabis forums talk about these natural fertilizers in depth (if at all), I have found that they are quite common practices in Indian gardening (if anyone is interested I'll link the YouTube videos). I can only imagine that these techniques are not isolated but, most likely common in Eastern gardening in general.... *if anyone can confirm this let me know Also, I did go ahead and top 3 of the 4 plants at the 5th node. I am going to hold off on topping the runt for a while and will go ahead and solely focus on LST for now. I don't want o stress her any further. **Lastly I am not the type of grower that measures things and has schedules, I admire that style of regiment and see it being beneficial commercially... but this is ENTIRELY about observation and the pleasure of growing personally so, forgive me if I don't have detailed notation lol... Feel free to ask me questions about: feedings, lighting, or anything else you're curious about

All the plants have started their flowering. The Gorilla Punch and the Pound Cake are ok but the Apricot and the Orange Sherbet are under-developped. I have two purple phenotypes, nice 😎 Parameters : ------------------------------------------- Humidity range : 30-70% depending on the sun Temperature range : 20-30°C depending on the sun SUN Average : sunny Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Apricot : 20.5 cm Gorilla Punch : 24 cm Orange Sherbet : 22.5 cm Pound Cake : 31 cm

Es ist meine erste fast reine Sativa, daher leider kein vollständiger Report. Die Erwartungen wurden mehr als erfüllt bisher.

For LIQUIDS & NUTES ******GREEN BUZZ NUTRIENTS***** organic. Also i’m using their LIVING SOIL CULTURE in powder form! MARSHYDRO ⛺️ has large openings on the sides which is useful for mid section groom room work. 🤩 ☀️ MARSHYDRO FC 3000 LED 300W 💨MARSHYDRO 6” in-line EXTRACTOR with speed-variation knob, comes complete with ducting and carbon filter.

She's healthy and going strong! Smells absolutely amazing. The only issue I currently have is the light being far away from plant because there is another plant in the tent twice her size. It's not terrible though

Hello Diary, In the end I can only say well done Royal Queen Seeds. I have grown a total of 4 out of 8 new hybrid F1 strains so far and all of them exceeded my expectations. Apollo F1 is no exception, although it was the smallest on the Farm, the flowers are the hardest and incredibly fragrant. During the entire cycle of growth and development, it proved to be very resistant, so that the plant looked impressive until the very end. The effect of Apollo F1 is relaxing, so I can consume it during my free time as well as when I am engaged in some creative work. It certainly removes stress and bad mood. At the end of drying, I got a little less than 50g, 49g to be exact, which is satisfactory especially because of the high quality flowers. I think I have mostly written everything that I thought was important, if anyone reading this text has any questions about Apollo F1, feel free to ask, I will be happy to answer. I would like to thank everyone for their support and comments, and especially Royal Queen Seeds for their many years of support.

Did a pretty good job on my first grow

Start of week 6, zkittles is a little behind the smoothie so going to keep zkittles on last week's feed for a few days but smoothie has started week 6 schedule today,.. tied down, defoliated and using a scrog has gave both girls a really wide stance which is what I wanted as I don't have a lot more height to play with,... getting there now, loving fastbuds auto strains so far,... roll on next week 👍
