From the 9th day I started adding Hesi Root Complex 1ml and 2ml PowerZyme per 1L of water. We poured out water only as needed and did not water the stem! Day 13. I increased Hesi Root Complex to 5ml/1L Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/1L We poured out water only as needed and did not water the stem!

Bruce became a very pretty lady imo , grew on two nice big colas, other buds are pretty big too imo and really super dense. And above all her colours and her smell are making me a very happy man

Welcome back all, following a week that has been a fairly straight forward seven days or so in Fat Yappa's Garden, as the older Bruce Banners reach day 51, day 44 for the runt of the sisters, planted on the same day but that took a week longer to germinate, and day 42 for the two Wedding Cheesecake's, one growing in Coco Coir, the other in the same living soil as her Bruce Banner Fastbuds cousins. The week began with last weeks humidity issues brought well and truly into hand with the addition of the new 20L dehumidifier from Meaco, specifically designed for the UK weather. However a shift in the aforementioned from the falls dawn of an early spring, to a return to more usual climate conditions for this time of year through things off kilter once again. Despite pulling around 6L of water out the air a day, she was struggling to keep the RH down to around 50% with my central heating returned to its usual position of 18c, but an increase to 20c has taken things back in line, and the humidity has returned to the mid 40's I was aiming for. Humidity concerns during this off period however, and a subsequent inspection below the top layer of the canopy, which resulted in the discovery of quite a lot of whitish, moist growth, prompted a mass defoliation, mostly of the Bruce Banners. I had been performing very light defoliation up until this point, only removing dead/almost dead leaves, and very select leaves from the top of the canopy that were blocking what looked like bud sites, but the lack of light and air getting through past the top layer, together with the fact that now bud sites are far clearer to a novice such as I, lead me to the conclusion that the time was right. Besides the runt, all these plants have not even skipped a beat. The runt has been a bit droopier in her leaves than the others all in all, but I have looked in on them and seen her with leaves pointing up and praying a few times since so I trust all is well. Following the defoliaton on day 47, the plants stuck to their two day watering schedule, but di threatened to need an increase to daily, as day 50 saw waterings a mere 24hrs after the previous day, but feeling the weight of the pots yesterday I elected to wait til 48 hours to water again. The water amounts per plant has also become more erratic than previously, so I have been watering more carefully. Other than that the week has been pretty much plain sailing, and what look like to be some big looking flowers coming up all over the canopy, as all bar the Wedding Cheesecake in living soil are now fully in flower, but she will be there by next week. The Bruce banner I accidentally snapped the top off from the second node down doing LST a few weeks ago seems to be about half a week ahead of the other two of the same age, and trichomes have began to appear on the leaves around the buds. The biggest plant in the tent is still the wedding Cheesecake in Coco coir, as she now stand a metre tall and her top is the same level as the light now. Her size is a concern because it has caused me to neglect her in favour of the other plants, certainly in terms of light, but she doesn't seem to have any more bud sites than the other plants, and for the time being at least, her older cousins are leaving her to shame in this department, but she still has a week to catch up. Lastly, day 39 saw another compost tea feeding, the same recipe as last time. Happy growing everyone, and I will catch you all again next week.

Plants are just now reaching the scrog net. I’ve broken 2 branches from amateur lst but plants have remained solid and growing rapidly. Going to begin filling in the screen for another week.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Day 30 of flower; I raised the pot 14 cm to get her closer to the light. The Hulkberry next to her measures 126 cm. SHe's full of buds and she's very sticky. Her smell is amazing!!

Another week of training down. Leaves are starting to smell skunky now and no signs of deficiencies or struggle. Environment has been steady and the Kush has been loving it. Starting the transition to flower (flip is in 2 weeks) so she's been fed a bloom mix and some all purpose to get her ready. Figure it'll be about a week before the slow release is available for the plant and in her system by flip. Fingers crossed, but I'm hoping for explosive growth soon. She's relatively modest in size right now, but getting nice and wide.

Getting ready to leave for the holidays. She will be on auto feed for 7 days. Hopefully 2.5 gallons gets her through! 12/20 - spread her out abit to add more light down below and allow more air flow. She is looking awesome 12/21 - water only feeding 6.3ph 12/22 - she's all set for 7 days of auto watering with 2.5 gallons of nutrient mixed water at 6.3ph. Pump in the reservoir mixing things around for me. 12/23 - and it's off on its own auto watering 5 mins per day!! Let's see how this goes... 12/24 - merry Xmas eve!!

Only got Gorilla Cookies left. Chopped down Gorilla Zkittlez last week. Gorilla Cookies is filling out. Buds getting denser. Smell is great, like an Earthy, Berry, gasy Lemonade lol Gorilla Zkittlez looks like it’s coated in Trichromes. Smells berry. Thanks for checking out my diaries. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask. 💪🏽🌱😎

Hello growers day 72 with the gorilla glue auto still Just feeding her letting her take her time she’s flowing abit slow but I gave her a crap start so just gonna let her take her time that’s it for this week so be safe and happy growing ✌️🏻

Well the plant has been growing tremendously very easy to control the stretch with the scrog method. The plant should only experience it’s final stretch this week although very hard to say considering the FFT strains have yet to be disclosed. Overall very happy with this grow, great genetics to work with. Looking forward now to see the rewards!!! ✌️

This run went a lot better than expected. There were lots of problems while in a rush to get the new grow going. But once everything was dialed in, everything started booming! The next run should even put this one to shame with the much healthier plants in the veg room.

DAY 2: Watering with 2.5L. Nutrients as in description. I have noticed small symptoms of underwatering and also little stress of heat. Therefore I just reduces light intensity from 100% to about 85% and moved the lamp a about 5cm higher. DAY 4: Recovered fully from heat stress and underwatering. Already noticed some small hairs so flowering just began! DAY 5: Watering with 2.5L of water. The pot was already bit light. After flip to 12/12 I have instantly noticed she needs watering 1 day faster then before. I also removed some yellowed leaves and hidden small branches which would not see the light either.

Might have to put a breeder pack of this on my list for this winter Pheno hinting

Black mamba is doing well. It's showing flowers. Automatic watering is very useful at this stage. It uses 0.6-0.8 liters per day. Watering every two hours for 10 seconds. I installed a 6 mm silicone tube directly under the trunk. I'll order 15-liter canisters; a 5-liter container lasts a couple of days. The hydromamba also looks good. I wonder if it will catch up with the second, undamaged coconut mamba. The roots are white and growing. Even at +28°C, the pH of the solution remains steady at 5.7-6.0—this is encouraging; the roots are healthy. DWC turned out to be the most practical option in the summer—no need for automatic watering pumps. A pump for collecting water samples in a liter bottle is needed for a week or two. Later, the fertilizer dosages (ml per 15-liter bucket) will become clear, and you can add a little enzymes and a little root stimulator once a week. I add the other additives once a week—when I mix up the solution. I completely change 15 liters of the solution every two to four weeks. The solution is clean, free of decaying roots and other organic debris. I topped the first mamba twice; it has three main crowns. And the trunk wriggles like a snake :) I trained it, slowing its growth. There was no growbox to put it.

Aug 30: it’s still hot (too hot at peak for photosynthesis) so lots of water, watering outside of growbag, etc to cool things off a bit. Sep 1: almost ready. Found a dried leaf and a spot of bud rot which was immediately removed. Main tops are almost ready and I’ll start harvesting this one later this week. Sep 2: buds are looking pretty ready (at least the tops) and the pistils changed colour last night. Heatwave is now past and now we’re into a couple days of smoke from fires in the NWT. Sucks, but at least this is the first serious smoke here this year. Sep 4: decided to do a chemical flush this year. Great buds last year but didn’t burn well because of excess P in late flowering. Considered another flush product but looking at the MSDS sheets that stuff had ‘editic acid’ which is an obscure but acceptable name for EDTA. That is a very strong chelating agent which will remove salts effectively but I’d rather avoid it. In contrast, Final Flush from Grotek has potassium sorbate (generally recognized as safe food additive) and good old citric acid which is a chelating agent but not as strong as EDTA. Similar products but citric acid is more gentle and the plant still gets some potassium. Sep 5: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you follow up with a far red light.
