I’m measuring plant biomass this time around: plant HEIGHT, leaf WIDTH and CANOPY width for as long as possible, before tent space MAXED OUT. Target maximum plant height - 36”- 40”. Allowance for canopy width expansion of 2 plants in a 2x4x6 tent - varying between 24” - 36” from late vegetative stage through flowering. This is a stretch as far as space goes. One single plant would have be enough to fully fill the entire canopy of multiple colas. In other words, although one can legally grow up to 4 medicinal plants in Canada, and I chose to grow 2 of them, that does not necessarily mean extra yield. Plants are thriving and read to be flipped into flowering stage next. Light intensity increases and so does DLI. PPFD=683 and DLI=44.1. Photoperiod changes to 12/12 in week 6

Skunk apple runtz I'm probably only going to keep 1 of these guys seeing the 2nd just has really bad growth so far. I'm sad about this I made this cross out my last grow and was hoping for the better end of things. The other plants is decent but we will see I hope it has the growth pattern of the lit farms Rick bobby and the bud structure of the obama runtz I grew It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music Videos Fastbuds GSC x Barneys Red diesel 6 weeks of flowering completed 9th April 2020 Hi Everyone I hope you are all feeling well and keeping busy during the lockdown. It's raining cats and dogs here (lucky there's no chinese around LMFAO) and the humidity is 100% so today Ive chopped this little lady down and she is now drying up in my shed with fans going 24/7. I was quite pleased with the amount of bud I got off her and it's smelling fantastic and is very sticky.The trichomes were very milky with a few amber as well. 😍 very easy to grow no fuss and no problems but we'll have to wait and see as to whether she is a good smoke or not . Now for this weeks Aussie Music videos 👊 Because we are almost at the end of this grow I thought I had better add a few extra songs this week to make sure I get a decent selection of Diffrent music videos for you all to check out. So for this weeks selections I chose Empire of the Sun 👊 Walking on a Dream https://youtu.be/eimgRedLkkU Big Pig 👉 (from Bill n teds excellent adventure) 👊 I can't break away https://youtu.be/f_rfXVdYelA Peking duk 👊 Reprisal https://youtu.be/4GboBAg2Syo The white stripes 👊 Seven nation army https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY Grinspoon 👊 Chemical Heart https://youtu.be/58mXxWuUqYw The hilltop hoods 👊 Leave my lonely https://youtu.be/yKifJ4Q5ph0 And Silverchair 👉Not bad for a bunch of 16yr olds which they were at the time this video was made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZD982yrmx4 The Next update will be the Final harvest update with the dried n trimmed buds etc. I will also have to add another heap of tunes in that I had wanted to play , so keep an eye out for my next Update of Ginger Nut Cookies & Aussie Music videos .😀 Until then Stay safe and Keep lit And we'll all get thru this Together 🙏 👍

Changed the reservoir for flower this week. *Athena proline is measured in grams per gallon. The option isn’t allowed on grow diaries so I had to use an online converter for tsp to grams. * Defoliation and readjusting of the ties seems to happen daily at this point. In hindsight I left to many flowering sites, i was afraid I wouldn’t get a decent yield 😂. Removing more would have saved me time defoliating and readjusting the branches in the later stages. I was surprised at how well the auto took to topping and training I’ve done so often. Really happy with the root system. Video added.

17 Jan - 23 Jan 19 Jan Kush del Arriero: Looking good in color and size, planning to flush next week, hope those possible nanners don't develop enough, not removing due to harvest time being so close and this one being the one that will probably give me the best yield. Some buds and leaves getting purple colors. Choco Cookie: Still very small, hope they grow a little more before harvest. Some buds and leaves getting purple colors. Banana Cake: Small buds, decent trichomes. I hope that KDA won't cause much trouble to the other two plants, I hope I'm wrong about the nanners... Keeping my plans, finish with nutrients this Sunday and flushing for 7-14 days after that. I'll add a few more pics later today. Sat 22 Yesterday a friend with more experience in these things took a look at my plants, he seemed impressed by what I've accomplished on my first grow so far. He also confirmed that the weird things on the KDA buds aren't nanners... phew ! He also confirmed my plans for flushing tomorrow are good.

So grow started with lots of trouble.heat ..bugs .. temperature swings and at the end cold rainy weather.how ever I'm impressed by the bounce back.. heard lots of bad story's over this breeder and the automatics I had where in deed very disappointing. So this mighty Amstel freezeland 2.0.. Liked the growth and loved to see it working.next year I try to grow them somewhere in nature.think they are strong enough.

Week four of the bonsai mother project. This was the week I targetted to begin removing the sheath and exposing the roots. I plan to begin that process in the coming days. Day 23 - Photographed. I've been watering this girl tap water only, at the moment she has enough nutes in the medium, however I expect this to soon change. Her roots have protruded out of the bottom of the lower pot, as you can see from the video. Day 26 - Removed the sheath and revealed the roots and object they are growing over. I am not unhappy with these roots, I think I can work with them. I had to temporarily add a zip tie to hold her in place. P.S. Follow me on X! @unorthadoxdude

10/28 - Pushing this update three days early since much has changed. Did a solution change earlier today to the new mix (as noted) which settled in about 740ppm (570ppm nutrients, 1.14ec + tap). After approximately eight hours (including a dark cycle), she registered 720ppm, but we will see how she swings over the next few days. The other lady in the video was given the same nutrient solution at the same time and is now showing some dark buildup on her roots that this Amnesia XXL Auto doesn't have. Her growth has been fantastic so far and she is responding well to the nutrients. I am excited to see how this goes considering this is my first DWC run and first run with Dyna Gro. Any comments, questions, observations, or concerns are always welcome. Happy Growing! Edit: 10/29 - Added 2ml/gal Botanicare Hydroguard as a preventative for any potential root issues. Edit: 10/31 - Removed two large fan leaves that were actively shading new growth nodes. PPMs have slowly climbed up to 750. Lowered to 700 with pH'ed water. Added second Mars Hydro SP150 and raised to 18" above canopy.

Hey Leute, Woche 6 ist im vollem Gange!!! Den Ladys geht es soweit ganz gut, sie haben sehr viel Durst durch die Hitze im Keller! Alle 3-4 Tage haben sie schon wieder richtig Durst nach 5 Liter Wasser. Leider habe ich es mal wieder zu gut gemeint mit dem Dünger, konnte aber noch schnell genug mit PH 5.8 Wasser gegen halten. Nach einer Kontrolle der PPM im Wasser hatte ich einen Wert von 4000 und mit diesem Düngeshema hatte ich schon drei mal gegossen… Ich versuche momentan die VPD einzuhalten ist aber schwer bei 30 Grad in der vollen Blüte bei 65-70% RL zu bleiben. Ich werde ab Mitte dieser Woche dann wieder mit dem Düngen beginnen. Wie man auch sehen kann, habe ich die Großen Fächerblätter noch entfernt, damit die ganzen Nährstoffe und Energie in die Buds geht. Beim nächsten Run, werde ich das erheblich früher durchführen, und beobachten ob ich dadurch auch so Riesen Buds erhalte wie andere. Die Lampe musste wieder auf 75% runter gedreht werden, einfach zu warm. Zum Glück etwas überdimensioniert, dadurch ein ppfd-Wert von 1400-1000 im Ganzen Zelt. Liebe Grüße, Fićo

Smooth week to be honest. Nothing major to report. Growing green and are stretching well. Fertilizers. Plagron: dropping the grow and roots fertilizers. Only feeding bloom, power bud, and vita Race this week. I hope this smooth ride continues till harvest.

Olá growmies. Esta gorilla está a demorar muito mais tempo comparando com o meu primeiro grow. Penso que o problema tenha sido as doses baixas de nitrogenio que dei durante a floração e as temperaturas no máximo chegaram aos 23 graus.. no próximo correrá melhor. Vivendo e aprendendo 👍 15 janeiro: continuação do flush - regada só com água, 2l. Vou esperar mais uma semana no máximo para cortar. Na esperança que alguns tricomas comecem a ficar âmbares. 18 Janeiro - harvest day! Ja está a secar! Atualização em breve!
