I took everything out of the tent and disinfected it again. The pots have made the tent base into a ball ๐Ÿ˜… The velcro tags fell off long ago. I decided to put some new ones on. I have some wider velcro that I would've preferred to use, I have misplaced those. Anyway, these will have to do. I also made some large pot markers to velcro to the pots, too. I figured it would be easier to recognise the plants in photos if I made some. I laminated them, then attached the velcro to the pots and pot markers. [I get bored] ๐Ÿ˜… make everything as fun as possible ๐Ÿ’š I ended up finding some sticky back velcro rolls. Of course, there's no way that it would stick to a slippery surface that gets wet from humidity. So, I used my glue gun and added strips to each side of the tent liner and tent walls to hold ot in place. The 8 gallon pots are very heavy after being watered, and the liner has suffered. Hopefully, this will work to keep it in place, at least for a while! ๐Ÿ˜… 7.5.25: I also had to clean my pots, as you can see in the photos (if you want, lol). They had got very mouldy/mildewy/fungussy. ๐Ÿคข also the under side of the tent liner. So it was very lucky that I decided to clean it at this point. Or else I could have serious issues. I'll look into the ventilation as I'm not exhausting the tent because I leave the door open with very strong airflow. I did spray the plants with Trace, and I used a lot of it. So, that probably ran down the walls into the base of the tent before it dried ๐Ÿค” that could have easily caused it. I'll have to make sure I dry off the walls after I use it next time. I certainly don't want to keep cleaning everything. The plants are delicate, and unfortunately, however I try, it appears I am not. I'm always snapping branches off by just watering, let alone removing them from the tent to clean! ๐Ÿ˜… you can imagine. Accidental defoliation? ๐Ÿ˜‰ I also cleaned the light, but I have noticed on one light that there are brown spots, which won't come off without damaging the LED's. I really don't want to have to buy a new light. The par isn't great for full flowering. I just can't justify buying a new one right now, as I've already bought 2 in a year. The light has been turned up to 100%, gradually, over the course of a few days. It has been fairly warm so I moved them further away too, as i don't want them to get heat stress, as I have already noticed a few leaves canoeing and having a taco on my dime! ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜… I'll continue to monitor and adjust again when possible/necessary. 9.5.25: Hulkberry has certainly started her stretch! I'm really low on space to train her out, and the light has been turned up to full power. She has begun to drink more, and I gave some more dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with โ™ก 1/4 tsp of Greenleaf nutrients Sea K(elp). PPM: 800 PH:6.4 I am very pleased with the recent growth spurt, so let's hope I can accommodate her! ๐Ÿ˜… 9.5.25: It's a necessity to keep the soil moist. That means I need to water more often now. Today I watered with 1.5 litres of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 which contained: โ™ก 1/5 tsp of Sea K(elp). By Greenleaf nutrients โ™ก 1/4 tsp Ecothrive Biosys. PPM: 564 PH: 6.4 12.5.25: Hulkberry was very dry, surprisingly. Although I guess I've been giving her less. She was fed with a high dose of Ecothrive Trace: 7ml/7l. She was fed with 6 litres over the course of the day. PH:6.4 PPM: 515 I had added this as a foliar spray last week, and it has apparently damaged some leaves. Left some dry orange patches in the leaves. So, having that happen makes me want to just water with it. Thanks for checking out my diary and hanging out ๐Ÿ’š โœŒ๏ธ ๐Ÿƒ ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŒฑ

Leider mittlerweile gezwungen je nach Tages Temperatur zwischen 80-60% Leistung vom LED Licht. Um unter 30Cยฐ Grad zu bleiben Tagsรผber. Ansonsten calmag problemle habe jetzt BioBizz durch Canna Calmag Agent ersetzt. Ansonsten bin ich zufrieden. Vermute das mein PH wert etwas zu niedrig ist aber 2 Wochen vor Ende/ernte mach ich mich nicht verrรผckt sie gehen auf ihr Ende zu trotzdem will man das die Damen immer Kern gesund aussehen;) Habe Ende der 6 Woche Mars Hydro Adlite 660nm Deep Red installiert

22 days since my little girl sprouted from the seed๐ŸŒฑ The third week of growth of my Break-up Cake Auto ๐Ÿฅง๐Ÿ’š Nutrients: Plagron and Biobizz ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’š: This week I am applying the classic root stimulator Plagron Power Roots: Plagron Roots root stimulator is a biological root stimulator that supports the formation of the root system. It contains 7.2% humic acids, 3% kelp (a beneficial extract of brown seaweed), 3% metabolites and 0.3% thiamine (vitamin B). It acts not only on the roots, but also on the entire plant. It increases the plant's defenses and is absorbed very quickly. ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Bio Grow is a 100% organic, but also vegan-friendly fertilizer with BIO certification. Designed for the growth phase. Supports soil microorganisms and is ideal for use in all types of soil substrates and coco ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’š ------------------------------------------ Plagron Vita Race (Phyt-Amin) - is an organic foliar nutrient rich in iron that improves growth, photosynthesis and plant resistance. It is applied as a spray on the leaves during the growth and early flowering phase ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐ŸŒฑ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BioBizz Calmag is a 100% organic, but also vegan-friendly fertilizer with BIO certification. Biobizz Calmag was designed for professional growers and home growers who need an extra dose of calcium and magnesium. It contains the addition of humic acid ๐Ÿ’ฉโ˜˜๏ธ- I only apply it once a week. ------------------------------------------------------- Biobizz Bio pH-/ Biobizz Bio pH+ is a 100% natural and vegan-friendly pH regulator. Suitable for all types of substrates and crop types. For use in growth and flowering. ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ‹๐ŸŒฑ ------------------------------------------------------- PRO-MIX CONNECT MYCORRHIZAL POWDER - in the substrate Generally: Break-up Cake Auto ๐Ÿฅง๐Ÿ’š The plant is already in pre-flowering ๐ŸŒบ, but flowering has not yet begun, so this week I am still giving nutrients for vegetative growth. However, this week - the third week - in most cases it does LST and defoliation twice ๐Ÿƒ ๐ŸŒฟ I think the plant is slower because it is growing poorly, anyway it was able to cope and in the end it is a strong, sturdy and beautiful plant, even if it is different. I am very proud of it ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘ I use the new PH and EC meter Aqua Master Tools P110 PRO, the measurement is fast and accurate. So far I manage to keep the PH and EC as they should be. I use Biobizz Bio +/- for correction. These are excellent products. I think that the plants definitely have a very good effect of spraying with Vita-Race and the excellent PRO-MIX Connect Mycorrhizal powder for root support. All the girls have been very strong and stable since they were little ๐Ÿ’š Training: As I mentioned above, I did the first LST and defoliation, the plants usually quickly re-leaf, other branches also grow quickly. So in this third week I do two defoliations and two LSTs ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒฟ This plant is a little different, but I still did a very good LST and the plant is now making two main buds ๐ŸŒบ The girls are growing in a tent: Mammoth Pro+ 80, with reinforced reflective Mylar 600D foil Lighting: Mars Hydro TS1000, this light is sufficient for lighting in my growing space. The plants respond effectively and the light is technically very well managed - I try to have 50cm between the light and the plants, so I regularly move it up. Mars Hydro TS1000 Quantum Board ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’ก Power: 148W Dimensions: 90 x 90 cm Dimensions: 360 x 330 x 34 mm Chip brand: Epistar Thanks for the likes See you soon ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ป

Hi Gromies, well sometimes I can be my own worst enemy seems I defoliated ( actually I'll blame the apprentice Urban grow cat ๐Ÿ˜บ) He defoliated a little to much, it's hard to get good help these days! Anyway she got a bit of light burn directly under light bulb area. A mix of to much defoliation & I also turned light up to super lumen setting & being lazy I hadn't hooked the extraction fan & ducting up to the light ( it's an air cooled light shade) pump air from outside tent through sealed light shade & exhaust it outside. I hooked that up & raised the light around 20 cm & all is good now, some burnt leaves. She is bouncing back & grown more leaves. It may have slowed Bud development a little! I changed light cycle to 12.5 hours of darkness 11.5 hrs on to try & kick her into gear , fool her into thinking the season is coming to an end with shorter daylight hours. I may increase dark period a little more bit by bit, experiment a little, I've read of other growers who give plants less light around week 6 till harvest. She is getting a faint lemony smell. Lollipoped some of the smaller secondary branches, any tips low down not receiving much light & don't look like they will get much bigger, other than that I'm leaving her alone, probably just try & seperate any close growing colas so we don't get any Bud rot. Thanks for checking out my diary please leave a comment & some likes would be great so that myself & the apprentice grow cat can progress from apprentice stage ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ป๐Ÿ™€

Oh man I'm excited about this one now. I think I may try and fill this tent out with this just this one plant. Earth box and manual scrog on this Gelato. After getting her in there and realizing how easy she is to bend over and how easy it will be to get a monster plant with this set up, I'm super stoked. This will probably end up being a super long veg time but that's okay. This is exciting for me. Something different.

Week 7 of flowering 10/30/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 7 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Last week PH drop happened again a couple of days after the major flush. PH in rootzone is getting lower every day. Runoff still at 10-20%, so no salt buldup, EC same as intake or litttle higher. Flushed again with FloraKleen and watered with TriPart Micro, Grow, Bloom with CalMag. Bought Potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate as suggested by "Aqua Man", to buffer coco in the future. (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/ph-dropping-from-5-8-to-3-9-overnight-what-is-causing-this.87011/post-2329509) changed nutes on 11/2/24, to FinalPart at 1.3 EC. Checking runoff PH and EC daily.

Still no major problems so im very happy. Theyre all continuing to fatten up and i took the first microscope shots this week and they look amazing. much more dense than any of my previous. Gorilla is behind still, guess i got a slow phenotype but its still moving along at its own pace. Starting to see amber on the others so i reckon its right at the start of the possible harvest window. I have taken off a couple of small low down popcorn buds to see how they are. I am just very impatient haha. Hopefully it continues well for the next 2 weeks!

Still going through flowering. She has stayed short and stocky throughout since week 3/4 actually. About that time I remember watering her with nutrients that must have been too acidic. I'm pretty sure I omitted add ph up. ๐Ÿ˜ญ The damage was done, growth all but stopped. As she is an auto flower there is no time to 'save' her and grow a big plant, so we will go to the end with what we've got.

A step back recently: Started a final flush (2 days in), and decided to start feeding her again - thanks to some great GD input! 250 ppm at re-start and will work my way to 500ppm? She's still rockin' along - like nothing happened. She topped out at 350 ppm without tanking PH, so she is stable here. PH is now swinging down fairly quickly last 12 hours. Drained off 1/3 of reservoir and get reservoir down to 250PPM. 5 days later, major PH swings down again. Mixed another fresh reservoir. I am using Zero Water 5 gallon system, and just realized the PPM coming out was 100, and PH at 3! If I am at 100 today, that means these filters have been shot for a while, maybe since start of my PH issue. There is also interesting information about when zero water filters reach their expectancy. They put out fishy smell and otherwise. I will be watching my filters more often and taking more notes since this ZeroWater 5 gal system is really the way to go if you are only growing a plant or two. Filters are a bit spendy but when you take time, gas, convenience etc. its a no brainer (if the water coming out is zero:) - I get about 15 gallons per filter (175ppm from tap). Day 70. Itโ€™s been about a day since new res change. Steady Eddie at 250 ppm and 6.2. Iโ€™ll let her drink the bucket down a good ways if things remain stable with a drift down. I doubt it though, 5 gallon is fine for 12โ€ autos but at 2โ€™ she really needed 8 gal. Time to up the R&D on the cabinet! Also checked Zero Water again and filter is now putting out 200ppm of 3.0 water. New filters installed! Hope she finishes soon, the top of her canopy slowly getting cooked over the last 10 days. 8" of light distance is too little. PPFD 2000+ at the top, but leaf temps are in the upper 70's. Gotta hit a decent DLI on these lower buds - without nuking the top nugs, right?! As the week concludes, sheโ€™s in a fresh bath, at 250ppm @ 6.0 and running stable again. New water filters installed so zero water variable removed. Last serving of half+ teaspoon of GH dry KB ripening, and will reduce ppm by 25/day until I reach 10-15%. 1-2 day flush, if at all.

* ************** Week 7 - May 23 to 29, 2020 - Days 43 to 49 from germination **************** * This week she started to take more shape and came out of her ball form and standing up now. Side branches are still growing strong and reaching for the top of the canopy. Increased light intensity also as she is getting bigger and bushy with leaves now. She has increased her feed amounts this week and eating more now. She is happiest when her pot is dry and her leaves are up and praying. Heavy leaf strip and removed some lower nodes mid week. Letting her focus on growing the top nodes by removing lower points. Opened up the middle nice now and she is looking like a cannabis plant๐Ÿ˜€ Keep an eye on nitrogen though as she is green. She was getting choked out on the lower growth so removing some and letting the light in, the rest of the of sites should help her fatten up. Little more detail....... May 23/20, Day 43 - 3L feed - VeloKelp & Rezin & L.Wt & Sensyzime @ 1.5ml = 150ppm and 6.1pH - she is setting her buds but her leaves still look dark. - keeping ppm lower at 150. - main top reaching up more today. - Flower light switch turned on and raised the lights to increase intensity now. May 24/20 - Day 44 - Dry out day - Only two girls in the tent today so she should react well. - (GSC plants not flipping and moved to veg tent so made room in flower tent.) May 25/20 - Day 45 - fed twice today - 7:30am feed: 2L Sensyzime, Piranha, Rhino Skin, Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 335ppm and 5.9 pH. - 8:30pm feed: Vitathrive & Velokelp @ 1.5ml/L = 350ppm and 5.8pH - heavy leaf strip today. May 26/20 - Day 46 - dry out day. - keep an eye on the girl because the last time the girl dried out she reacted well - noticed the inner growth is slightly brown around the edges. Buds/pistols are not very tall. Light should help with this. - still only two girls in the tent. May 27/20 - Day 47 - 3L feed: Mass&Terp @ 3ml/L, Rezin&LWt&Vita @ 1.5ml/L, CalMag&Rhino&Piran&D.F. @ 1ml/L = 1250ppm & 6.0pH - added more water to reduce ppm to 1080.........1250 a little high right now. - she was ready to be fed.....eating a little more now. - Her hairs are getting longer and reaching out more now......light helps๐Ÿ˜€ May 28/20 - Day 48 - 2L feed: Mass @ 4ml/L, Vita & Sensyzime @ 2ml/L, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml/L = 1350ppm - little high so added water reduce ppm 1100 - She is taller and today and really looking nice. - She definitely likes it when her pot dries out. May 29/20 - Day 49 - dry out day - letting her be....she is happy๐Ÿ˜€ That wraps up another week. It has been great because she is really taking shape now and looking like the little girl I had in my mind๐Ÿ‘Œ

Y Griega and Gelato Ice Cream are approximately 2 weeks ahead of the rest of the plants in flowering. Adding 1 teaspoon of Blackstrap Molasses every watering and fertilizer every other watering.
