A breez to grow 450 grams off 5 plants first ever grow red buds throughout the whole grow

Hello everyone and welcome back to my diary. Tomorrow marks the end of the fourth week of growth for Titan F1. I don't think the plant is ready to flower yet and I think it needs at least another week to grow. Only time will tell if I'm right or not. This week has been quiet, but we have two important updates. 1) At the beginning of the week, I gave it some care and removed a few leaves that I thought were unnecessary. A bit of defoliation. Like 6/7 leaves removed. 2) Today, it had some more maintenance, this time more intensive. I removed two excess leaves and applied the LST technique for the first time. Honestly, I enjoyed modifying the pot to accommodate the holes where the string would be attached. To tell the truth, this low-cost adventure is becoming interesting, and I am having a lot of fun doing it and experimenting. To tell the truth, my LST seems a bit aggressive and excessive, but we'll see in the next few days how the plant decides to respond and react to the LST. Maybe it will die, hahaha. During this week, and reading other diaries for comparison, I determined that my plant is NOT drinking enough water. The problem arises because I am unable to determine how much water is left in the soil/pot. So today I decided to use a little cunning and weigh the pot when it was completely dry and then again after I watered it. I watered it with about 1050/1100 ml of water mixed with its weekly dose of nutrients. This time there was excess water, resulting in excess dripping. In the final weighing after watering and after the excess water had drained away, the final weight increased by about 720/730 grams. The water I added was around 1050 grams. So 75% of the water remained in the soil. Dry it was 4400 grams, wet it reached 5120 grams. I don't know if this is good or not, I hope the plant is doing well. In the meantime, I have ordered a device that allows me to check several parameters in the soil, such as moisture, acidity and other things that are important to us growers. I feel like a child at Christmas :). I also bought a pH meter for the water, as mine broke and I had to buy another one, and I haven't been able to check the acidity levels for the last two waterings. I hope it doesn't bother the plant too much and that it continues to grow. I've deduced that it drinks little because I'm forced to water it practically once a week. I expected it to consume more water, especially in its current pre-flowering phase. The new device on its way will help me keep all the parameters under control: the soil, the plant, the temperature, the water levels, the humidity and a few other things I can't remember. Everything should be ready next week. The lamp is on full power all the time, at 100% with a 24/0 cycle, 7 days a week. The plant has reached 20 centimetres in height. I wonder if this LST will keep it small. I have some space issues, so I can't let it grow too tall, which is why I'm using LST. Otherwise, everything seems to be going well, I hope I'll be able to smoke this one. Thanks everyone, see you next week with new updates, who knows, maybe it will start flowering :)

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

Tangie'matic showed me that she was in it for the long haul right from the start. This was my first time topping an autoflower and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out - but each time she took on stress, she pushed back even stronger. I topped her once at the 5th node, and then used some low stress training to create this beautiful canopy. She really grew like a dream! Partway through flower I had to move my grow tent from my second-floor bedroom to my not quite warm enough basement. I had assumed that the heat from the grow lights would have compensated, but it didn't take me long to realize how wrong I was. This poor plant had her reservoir and atmospheric temperatures dropped with no warning. She held in there while I figured out how to get the environment closer to desirable and less feeling like a frozen tundra. In the mish mash of environmental flux, some of her buds began to foxtail. This was my first time seeing this happen; so despite the fact that it's not desirable, seeing foxtailing happen with my own buds for the first time was actually kind of cool. After the environmental woes were corrected, she stacked even more. Her buds nice and dense with a citrus fragrance complimented by some subtle skunky undertones. Before harvest I changed out her reservoir and gave her a 4 day flush along with 48 hours of darkness. When I opened the tent on harvest day I was punched in the face with a beautiful fragrance of mandarin that instantly lifted the corners of my mouth into a sweet smile of satisfaction. I cut her down and hung her to dry in my climate controlled closet holding a perfect 69.8°F and 55% RH. Six days later her buds were ready for the jars. Her dry buds gave me 8.8oz/250g of quality bud and an additional 2.9oz/82g of popcorn buds. Just being in jars for 24 hours has REALLY brought out even a stronger citrus aroma that is just a true pleasure to take in. Will update with more after the cure and first smoke experience. ✌️💜🌱0000

9/11 Wed. 12 am Raised lights and the watts. NYC is tall now even after topping. Looking really nice. 5 am lights up to 88W didn't raise the light any higher. 330 pm Got some nice shots of NYC, She is getting tall so I may top her twice and keep the bottom 4 colas, not sure yet. 9/12 12 am good. 2 am light up to 93W and raised 3 clicks. 93 at 8 to 14 inches for the shorter plants should be enough power. 2pm. Spent 6 hours putting in extra dirt and perlite and cut NYC in half!!! She's too tall for this grown, but Im sure I can still do just great with 4 colas well trimmed!! 9/12 11 pm. They are doing good NYC is growing good after 2nd topping. GOAT is doing great. 9/13 12am Cutting NYC in half yesterday worked!!!! She's doing great. GOAT is great too 9/13 12 am. Moved 3 plants that were small into their own tent. 2:30am They are doing better in the new tent with more space. 9/14 4 am.I used 1 gram of Maxibloom Powder and .6ml of purpinator yesterday will keep the mix for a few days 9/15 Looking good light up to 95. Got some nice pics of GOAT forming flowers, her leaves have a peach color the microscope pics are good. had to get a new one.

WEEK 8; all plants healthy and bug free buds are beginning to form . temp is at a perfect 78 degrees no complaints or concerns i'm sure this crop will last me till next year i'm hoping week 9 should show a big improvement in buds forming

Hello again GD friends, This week was very well, I can see pistils all over de place and the bottom of the canopy was almost fully defoliated, so Day 37 - watered with 4L w/ 8 ml BG, BH, A-V, and 4ml of Biobloom Day 38 - I've turned on the superlumens mode of my ballast that never been used, but Lumatek says that encreases the light spectrum, will see. Day 41- I've noticed the plant a little bit sad and the pot very light, so I decided to encrease the quantity of water to half the pot's capacity and ferts accordingly. See you next week Happy growing

first I shed the substrate with 400-500 ppm feeding short fertilizer The seed is sent to a glass of water 200ml / 6.5ph / 200ppm for 12 hours after - the seed is sent to wet cotton pads for 2-3 days

Gorilla Cookies really feel good the new nutrients 🦍🍪😋

2nd week of flowering and she is stretching for sure. Officially the tallest auto i've ever grown at 29" tall at day 43. New time lapse (first half is MDXXL) Day 43- No watering. Light defoliation and LST Day 44- Flush with Bush doctor Day 45-46- no water Day 47- Mammoth P/ Recharge/ Cal-Mag water @ 6.3ph and bloom khaos foliar feed @ 6.2ph Day 48-49 no watering

Girls are looking very nice! Started flushing them.

A bit of nute burn od on feeding dem girls getting loud

-start of flushing as i see around 50% milky and i want to chop at high THC. Iv spotted 1-2 amber also so in 1 week from now probably there will be 10-20% amber . what do you think?

Day 78 - pheno 1 was cut down, id normally hang dry the whole plant but decided to do it in branches instead. Second pheno has been left in darkness as i haven't had the time to cut. Pheno one is hung up and drying.. Room Humidity 60/60. As soon as she's dry enough I'll finish trimming her up. Then put them into jars. Might use boveda 60% packs but I'll see. Smells strong! Will post a harvest when both plants have been dried fully an in jars. Hope you enjoy the videos and pictures. Stay tuned.

10 days to go!! Gorilla Zkittlez it’s a great strain with a fruit aroma in the air..bubba are small buds and most of them are creamy.. hope in a good smoke!

A day late on the diary update as I was out playing golf in paradise yesterday. Caught a 1 in 100 weather day in Half Moon Bay, CA... sunny 70 degrees and less than 10 mph wind. Almost never happens. Normally the choices are heavy fog or high wind, one or the other. Anyway... cannabis... this Cream & Cheese baby is starting to show signs she's gonna need some structural support going forward. A couple of the lower branches are starting to roll over on themselves due to their weight (relative to their structural capacity). She's spread herself out so wide and her branches are rather slender. A large number of leaves on this girl are turning yellow, compared to the other girls on the patio. Normally I just yank off fan leaves as soon as they turn completely yellow. She's 58" tall now and that's probably about it. The video I threw in here is actually a couple weeks old because it took me that long to put together. Video isn't really my thing.

05.09. Dimmed one light to the half, they begin to smell lightly. 10.09. Moved the Spiderfarmer Dehumidifer into the room, lowering the humidity from 80% down to 52%.

I had been feeding with a diluted solution and now after flushing with water last week I'm moving up to full strength. The pistils of the plants on the ends seem healthier. The smaller plants in the middle seem a little more scraggly. I'm making full use of the SCROG net. I also raised the light an inch or so and put it back to 100% from 75%. I'm going to see if I can keep it closer to 100 if I can balance the intake air temp. Some of the leaves are damaged. I have a feeling it's from the cold nighttime air coming in the intake. I'm going to keep the intake fan off at night while it's this cold and damp outside. Hopefully not too much smell escapes. Maybe I should seal it at night. Getting sticky now!
