Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 27/02/2020 - Gave her 1.5l of RO water.

Did a bit of LST, did a bit of trimming of the fan leaves to expose the bud sites. Hopefully it won't affect her too much. Kinda regret putting her in a small pot but hey, experiments right?

Week 2: Had some beautiful growth this week. I top dressed with Dragonfly Earth Medicine Nutrients.. Lush Roots, and Brilliant Black with some Earth Worm Castings Since things are taking off so well I went ahead and begun training. Just some LST bending it over so the lowers can share in some light. I will continue this process, trying to open up as many bud sites as possible.. Temps and humidity have stayed pretty consistent for now 78/52-56 (Day) and 70/55+(5) I will top dress once more before switching over to feeding teas. ( it is easier for ME to feed and adjust as I go.. Training sometimes makes it hard to get in and top dress.)

Defoliated bottom parts of plants and lower growth. It's fairly evident now that the CBDiesel isn't going to produce much. The fan leaves and bud sites are tiny in comparison to the other two strains. Roots have become completely entangled and almost reach the perimeter of reservoir. Continued to tuck taller growth back under trellis to create even canopy. Foliar fed 3 times throughout week with half strength solution. Added pH balanced ice cubes 3 times throughout week to boost oxygenation Humidity way too high, need to address this fast.

Day 56-63 (Day 57) I might have to fix the light to the roof of the tent so I can get another 3 inches up. The ppfd is just too intense at this height. The node stacking is super tight, I’m seeing some droop on almost every plant and the plants just look stunted. I might have to take out the big shelf I just paid 90$ for and raise the light to get the ppfd level down. This happened my last grow as well. It’s a great light for flowering but sucks ass for veg unless it’s hung 5’ above the canopy. I’ve seen videos of others with the same light and they have to fix it to the roof. The dimming function only works with a master controller I don’t have the money for right now. Pulling bbb #2. I’m seeing very small but clear pollen sacks. It’s also drooping like crazy. The roots don’t look as healthy as some of the other males I pulled earlier. They have a slight brown tinge but still mostly white. I wonder if I accidentally gave top dressed it too many times when I mixed them all up a while ago. I’m going to transplant bbb’s #1, #3, #6 & #7 into my 10 gallon destiny/coco pots lightly water. This is kind of a gamble because 2 of them are not showing definitively. Although I’m about 75% sure they’re fems. If not, I got my two backups. (Day 58) I was reading about symptoms of high PH and I definitely have it indicated by the twisted and stunted growth on top. I’m going to try to water in a full gallon at 5.8 and see if I get a good response. I sprayed the pump nozzle directly into the soil after it was empty to put some oxygen into that big 10g pot. The blackberry I gave the lowered PH water too noticeably responded within a few hours. The clawing has pretty much stopped and it now looks like the healthiest plant in the tent. I’m going to see how it responds over the next few days then try it with my other plants if everything looks good. I’m going to try it with bbb #5 in the 1.7g pot and see if it responds in the same way. I ran a gallon of 5.8 water through 1.7g and got less than a 100ml of runoff which is a little surprising. The runoff measured 1750ppms which seems a little on the high side but isn’t insane for peat based soil. (Day 59) Wow. The plants responded to that little PH adjustment insanely well. #5 isn’t dropping at all and the leaf wrinkles are actually flattening out. It’s starting to look like one of the healthiest plants in the tent. I’m still hoping for #5 to show female. 5 plants would cut my veg time down and give me another opportunity for a keeper pheno. All 4 plants are looking like they’ve already recovered from their transplant. #1 in particular was drooping like crazy yesterday and today it’s bounced back and looking happier than ever. I’m seeing a bit of tip droop on a few plants but they still seem fine I wonder if because my soil is 50% coco I should try watering on the acidic side, around 6.0-6.2 from now on. I’m almost certain that solved all the issues I was having. (Day 62) Plants are all looking really healthy. They all seem to have outgrown the initial light stress actually but node stacking is still really tight and I hope to raise the light up next week sometime. I’m going to drop the humidity to 60% for the rest of veg. These pots are massive and I’m still a little worried about dry downs but they aren’t showing any signs of overwatering or lack of oxygen. BBB#3 is starting to show some weird discoloring like an mag or nitrogen deficiency. Which is weird because it’s freshly transplanted into nitrogen rich soil. Guess I will give it a kelp foliar spray. I’ve been looking for a good organic source of K without an absurd amount of magnesium and sulfur like langbeinite has. I found some 0-0-15 kelp/seaweed extract in soluble crystal form. So from time to time I will water that in at half strength or with compost teas to keep my soil K dominant. (Day 63) I’m still waiting on #6 to show sex. I am shocked it hasn’t shown sex yet. Although it was started a week and a half after the others but still. I’m going to be so pissed if it ends up being a male. I’m taking a gamble but I’m confident it will show female when the time comes. bbb#3 got a little more color back from that foliar spray. Hope that doesn’t get worse because it’s my favorite pheno so far. I will give a N boost in the form of compost tea tomorrow afternoon to both of my tents. I’m starting to utilize the scrog net and boy does it make training way easier. This seems to be a much smarter style of growing for yield and quality. I’m getting tired of these pH fluctuations every time I water. I’ve been eyeballing for the most part and I need a consistent formula. I found the perfect mix to stabilize my RO water and stabilize the pH at 6.2. I moistened the top soil of each plant and will watch for any reactions. Water recipe: 60ml bottled water 2000ml RO water 3ml calmag 2ml microbes

Gorilla Glue is doing great under the Spider Farmer G3000. She got some good training today. Everything is looking good. Will likely switch light to flowering next week.

Hello Growmies, We're in the third week of vegetative growth with our Epic Buzz plants by Anesia, and they are a sight to behold with their rich green leaves signaling strong health. The growth has been consistent, with new leaves unfurling and the central stem gaining girth, ready to support future flowering. The root development, while not visible, is indicated by the stable and healthy growth above ground. Our watering schedule is on point, with the roots expected to be expanding in kind to support the lush foliage. Feeding these plants has been a regimented process. We've been nurturing them with a mix of Orca, Rhizotonic, and pH-ed water, providing 100 ml of this concoction every three days. The plants are responding well, showing no signs of nutrient burn or deficiency, which is exactly what we want to see at this stage. There have been no issues with pests or environmental stressors, which is a testament to the vigilant care they've been receiving. As we keep our environment stable, we'll continue to see such positive trends in their growth. Looking ahead to the fourth week, we'll keep a close eye on how the plants are reacting to their nutrients. Adjustments will be made if necessary, and we may start to think about training techniques to help them grow wide and ready for a bountiful flowering period. Regular updates will guide us through this process, ensuring that we meet the needs of our Epic Buzz plants and keep them on the path to success. Stay lifted, Salokin

DAY.54 (Tall pheno) 👃🏿🍦🍨🍧

7/28/19 --Super happy to see the plants doing this well. Ive found that every other day feeding is the best for these specific plants. Im a big proponent of only watering the plant when it signals it is ready for watering. The least possible amount of induced stress for these plants is the goal for me. Cheese seemed to be totally unaware of the FIM that was done on it, as it showed not even 1 sign of stress post FIM. Cream cookies is another story, she's quite sensitive to absolutely everything--including watering. I am super happy to see that the last fan leave on the 5th node has 9 leaves--a really good sign that the plant is doing extremely well. The more leave nodes on each leave the healthier than plant. There are zero signs of nutrient burn at all. It was difficult at first to see if the slight bending of the leaves was due to nutrient burn, but I later figured out that the leaves were pressing against the side of their pot and as a result bending--wasnt nutrient burn. Ive been varying the pH widely each week--with the attempt to be as random as possible. I want to make as many nutrients available to the plant as absolutely possible. I really am loving the Advanced Nutrients Sensi line. Im growing in coco but I bought the nutrient mix not designed for coco with the understanding there might be some potassium issues down the road. But otherwise as a chemist by profession, when I heard about the pH perfect line I was rightly skeptical. It will balance your solution to the correct pH range (5.6-6) IF you start with dead neutral pH 7.00±0.05 water with no dissolved salts (distilled water). the distilled water I've been buying (from Walmart) clocks in on the pH meter at around 7.6-8.6 which will cause the pH perfect technology to neutralize some of the dissolved ionic species and bring the pH well below safe range for cannabis. Ive found that if you pH the distilled water to 7.00--add your Ca/Mg/Fe, THEN add the pH perfect technology the range will be much more suitable. It was kind of annoying since my pH down is so much more concentrated than my pH up. Me problems I know but still annoying. --One of my amazing collages at work is going to water both babies today with Week 4 nutrient solution even though we are technically in week 5. My vacation has prevented me from mixing the solution to feed. --This vacation has brought so many new automation ideas to coco coir growing. Ive been developing a hypothesis that involves what I call the "level of droop age" and its correlation to plant thirst. It began when I was growing in soil and needed a better way of telling when to feed the plants instead of a fixed schedule, which seemed to be giving way too much water to the plants. ---Ive developed a "droop scale" which can be directly correlated to plant thirst. Ive also found that very happy plants that do not want water will go through a natural droop cycle as night approaches. I take this as the plants time to grow out its root system (happens at night). By the morning the leaves are pointing up in what I call "leaves up loving life" ---So the scale I've developed is kind of arbitrary but it does a really good job imo if you become very familiar with your plants. ---The scale ranges from -10 (the most droop in the leaves every observed) to +10 (the most extreme leaves up loving life ever observed). the scale is out of 10 not 20. ---lets say that you watered your plants today, and their leaves were at a -7/10 droop (what when I water my plants). If you water them you should observe no increase in droop--in other words after watering the droop should only improve not regress. If the droop increases after watering your plants wanted a little more time before their feed--so alter your droop scale until you find the level of droop that when feed causes only an increase in the droop. 6 hours after watering you plant droop should be >+1/10. The next day you should see your plants at least at +5/10 droop. ---Merging this scale with automation is going to be difficult as ill have to use an open source machine learning AI to learn when the plants droop is sufficient enough to justify a watering. I hope to set up the system to be automated or manually operated over the cloud. ---Using a Raspberry pi and an Arduino as well as a whole set of motor control boards and sensor boards I hope to put together an integrated system that can detect when the leave droop reaches critical levels using a camera, and feed accordingly. Ive been all over the internet and all automated grow projects rely on soil moisture sensors which only penetrate <4 inches into the substrate. This doesn't cut it for me as the root ball of the plant is way below that 4 inches of the sensor, yielding readings which only pertain to the top layer of soil, which just so happens to dry out the fastest. ---Im going to keep my grows at 2 plants each from no on--and I plan to make an automated system for both plants which can control watering to both plants individually. Im currently trying to figure out the best way to track volume of water dispensed. A flow meter with a know diameter tubing and a known diaphragm pump rate seems to introduce all sorts of inaccuracies into the mix. I think im going to design an automated measuring system that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor coupled with a camera and AI to fill up a the hopper to the desired volume of nutrient solution. ---I have all the hardware listed but im a complete dumbass when it comes to coding. My profession is chemistry, coding goes right over my head. I have an immense respect for coders as I honestly have no idea how you guys do it. Its like learning 15 different languages at once and using them all together. Blows my the ability of our society. The wide range of skills. Love it. ---If anybody would like to help me code this project it would be greatly appreciated. 7/30/19 -Cream Cookies is doing extremely well. FIM was a great idea. 4 new main cola sites came out of the FIM which im very happy about. The undergrowth also has caught up to the canopy. the canopy has a plethora of bud sites. Defoliation done to increase light to bottom branches. Largest fan leaves towards the canopy removed. FIM'ed leaves that opened up also trimmed, allowing more light to penetrate to those small bud sites. --Ive counted sites where main colas can form. Very happy with this HST I decided to do. --LST done and branches separated from each other so they can receive ample light. Thinking of adding supplementary 40W flowering bulbs for flowering. -Cheese FIM didn't work as intended but it did break the symmetry of the plant. One of the first branches has grown higher than the canopy and I had to tie it down using LST. Did some defoliation and going to do some LST later. --Some light stress spots on Cheese, makes sense since I wasn't physically at my apartment to raise the lamp. Before raising the lamp the plants were 14 inches from the light which is way too close. The closest it should be is 17 inches. Raised the lamp to 18 inches and spots are subsiding. --Being overly cautious ive increased the dose of Ca/Mg/Fe to 4 mL/gal incase spots are actually a Ca/Mg/Fe deficiency from explosive growth. 7/31/19 -Cream Cookies is showing beautiful pre flowers. Still recovering from light stress. Looks very similar to nutrient burn but only present in tip most growth suggesting light burn. 14 inches was way too close-vacation problems lmfao -defoliation done on both cheese and cream cookies to expose bud sites -LST done on both cheese and cream cookies to bring bud sites into the light -both plants fed 400 mL Week 5 nutrient solution-when I mix next weeks nutrient solution im going to reduce the concentration to 12mL/gal w/ 3mL/gal Ca/Mg/Fe. --I want to precent any nutrient burn plus plants are slightly stressed from defoliation and light burn from my vacation. -lamp raised to 19 inches to help aid in stress relief -plants are responding in a weird way to the watering. Not in a bad way-but in a different way--larger lower leaves are not drooping like in the past its just the much newer growth is drooping. Makes sense since newer growth has less developed support system. Makes me feel much better about my watering schedule. --Clawing which I suspected was due to light stress is getting better-especially after a feeding. 8/1/19 --Calcium deficiency just barely showing on midlevel fan leaves. Good thing calcium is a mobile nutrient. Going to readjust the nutrient solution ph to be 6.2-6.3. Been accidentally locking out calcium. --Defoliation done on both plants to expose more bud sites and to thin out the thick canopy so light can penetrate below. The hope is to defoliate correctly. If done right I won't have to lollipop. --Cheese has no preflowers yet--still in veg --Cream cookies looks like it started flowering. 2 preflowers were spotted earlier in the week. Surprised to see how fast the plant moved into flowering. Going to be feeding it with flower nutrients starting week 6. --Going to continue feeding cheese with veg solution until preflowers are observed.

Correct Math - 185w * 56 days of veg (18h) - 390w * 70 days of flower (12h) - 66g dry material - Total space around 37.5% of the tent Veg cycle: 185w / 1000 = 0.185 kW/h 0.185 kWh x 18 hours per day = 3.33 kW per day 3.3 kW per day x 56 day veg cycle = 186.48 kW per veg cycle for the whole tent 186.48 * 0.375 = 69.93kW for the area covered by the plant Flower cycle: 390w / 1000 = 0.39 kW/h 0.39 kWh x 12 hours per day = 4.68 kW per day 4.68 kW per day x 70 day flower cycle = 327.6 kW per flower cycle for the whole tent 327.6 * 0.25 = 122.85kW for the area covered by the plant Total: 69.93 kW (veg) + 122.85 kW (flower) = 192.78 kW per entire cycle for the area covered by the plant 66 grams dried / 192.78 kWh = 0.34 grams per kW --- Total Harvest Total Harvest = 11g Choco + 66g KDA + 46g BC = 123g Total kW = 186.48 + 327.6 = 514.08 123g / 514.08 = 0.23 grams per kw

Dopo due settimane senza postare nulla siamo all’ultima settimana di prodotti prima del risciacquo. Tutte e 4 le piante sembrano avere un ottima struttura, una buona ramificazione degli apicali e teste compatte e profumate (a super incollose, senza guanti non si possono toccare. Partiremo a breve con il risciacquo con il ghiaccio per incentivare i pigmenti viola a formarsi ed espandersi su tutta la pianta. Ci aggiorniamo a inizio risciacquo!

Alles funktioniert einwandfrei, die Buds werden fetter und die Pflanze riecht sehr gut.. Schätze mal 3 Wochen noch..

Finish line crosses quick! Thanks for joining me will be sure to update weekly next journal so be sure to follow along!

This was the girls last week of Veg. ❤️ I did a big defoliation, the lit in my 4x4 custom SCROG netting and started tucking and bending the tops down to fill the spaces. They were looking pretty scraggly for a day or two after the defoliation, but within a few days the screen was filling out. I have a daily routine of lights on, tuck and bend, no weaving and then just before lights out I’ll do the same. Temps were good, watering has been vigorous. They are very thirsty! Feeding about 1 1/2 gallons every feed now, the 4 gallon pots are a bit undersized but I wanted to see what could Come of These slightly taller pots, rather than the wider regular sized pots. Haven’t had to add humidity this week, pretty consistent around 60%. At the end of the week I changed the light cycle to a 12/12 for flowering ❤️👊🇨🇦

Hello, now the second week has begun.. the little helpers are slowly coming out of their holes and the first roots are already taking out of the small 1 liter pot and already two root ends have dried up again, which is not so desirable with AF genetics. every cell and every day counts to achieve good results in the end... This week there is another drop of alpha boost and that's it for additives. The soil is saturated with nutrients that are released now and then, it should fully supply this little AF throughout its cycle. vll at the end a dollop of molasses. Time will tell. let's give her another week, then there's something to look at... temp fits again at night it is also OK around 12- 15°... today and tomorrow even up to 30° during the day... So it can only get better. Although she put everything away with engraving.. great genetics that don't buckle right away if one or two days the conditions don't fit... It's growing! PS i add a little bit off Humus to the top layer..the helper seeds stretch a bit to much

I figured I’d rock a decent update now what I don’t have anymore plants on the go. These were neglected from the start, although they seem to be making some pretty sweet buds. Tricombs are increasing, and starting to get cloudy. This is going to be my first sativa harvest so hopefully it turns out ok. I went a bit hard on the nutes the other day, I may have to give them a flush. The leaves are starting to curl and get brown. I’ll see how it looks in a few days. That’s it for this week, now get out there and enjoy the last of summer. Cheers.

Eine harte Woche für die Kleine Purple Lemonade Fast Flower von FastBuds🙈 Erst letzte Woche hatte ich ihr ein Haupttrieb fast abgebrochen 😞 Aber ruckzuck hatte sie sich davon erholt und der Trieb wuchs normal weiter (vielleicht mit ein paar Tagen Verzögerung) Den GreenPower 5in1 zeigt sich ziemlich praktisch und vor allem die Pflanze sieht super gut aus, ein richtig schönes Grün ✅ keine Mangelerscheinungen bislang! Ich hab ihr daraufhin alle Triebe die ich nach dem 🍭Lollypopping behalten habe einmal getoppt. Bislang zeigt sie sich super Widerstandskräftig💚 Ansonsten gab es noch ein paar Upgrades der Technik 💦Spider Farmer Selbstbewässerungssystem ☀️GC-Pure 80W Vollspektrum LED Die GC-Pure benutze ich zuzüglich zu meiner Mars Hydro TSW2000, da die TSW mein Zelt nicht mehr ausreichend ausleuchtet 🙈 Aktuell habe ich ein PPFD von knapp 400 HappyGrowing 💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅ A hard week for the Little Purple Lemonade Fast Flower by FastBuds🙈 Just last week I had almost broken off a main shoot 😞 But in no time she had recovered from it and the shoot continued to grow normally (maybe with a few days delay) The GreenPower 5in1 is quite practical and above all the plant looks super good, a really beautiful green ✅ no deficiency symptoms so far! I then topped her all the drives I kept after the 🍭Lollypopping. So far she is super resistant💚 Otherwise, there were still a few upgrades of the technology 💦Spider Farmer self-irrigation system ☀️GC-Pure 80W Full Spectrum LED I use the GC-Pure in addition to my Mars Hydro TSW2000, because the TSW no longer illuminates my tent sufficiently 🙈 Currently I have a PPFD of almost 400 HappyGrowing 💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅💚✅
