Hulkberry has some definite issues. The leaves are damaged, so I'm concerned that the plant will be unable to carry out its normal functions. If the plant can't properly photosynthesise, I really don't know how she'll make it to harvest. I had phosphorus excess in this grow before, and I think that's what's happened again. I think the excess of phosphorus has prevented the plant from being able to uptake Calcium, Magnesium and others. 8.5.25: The plant was watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.2. I added per litre; โ™ก 1/2 TSP Mega Crop Part A โ™ก 1/4 TSP Sea K(elp) PPM: 890 PH: 6.2 I decided to feed each plant separately and mix it up in the 2l jug. I gave an additional 2l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with the following nutrients; โ™ก 4ml Ecothrive Trace โ™ก 1/4 TSP Ecothrive Biosys PPM: 636 PH: 6.4. Let's hope I can manage to see her through to harvest somehow! Thanks for following along ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸƒโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿคž

Canโ€™t wait to try some of these flowers very happy with my first Scrog attempt beautiful deep purple buds. The next run of the do-si-dos auto will be 100% organic as i have the ingredients for living super soil, top dressing and compost tea on there wayโ€ฆ so excited Juan has produced a few new white pistils but not to many so I have given her a last supper of my compost tea. We are in the final week or so Noticed today that Juan wasnโ€™t actually touching the scrog anymore so removed it and got a few beauty shots ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘Œ

[ Introduction ] Welcome to my first ever grow journal! I have been growing medically for the past couple years, documenting some of my grows on my Facebook and Instagram (@OnlyTomatoes) pages, as well as several cannabis cultivation subreddits. I've found that I do a lot of things differently than other growers, so I'd like to share a full cycle publicly in case I have the answers to somebody's questions. [ Updates ] Day 4 - Lights have been lowered to 18 inches off canopy, dimmed to 25%. They've recovered from both their transplant and their topping, new growth looks almost perfect. I'm going to keep the accidental sunflowers for a few more days and see if there's any significant difference between plants. They all received a foliar spray of neem, kelp, and a bit of calmag before lights off yesterday. I expect to be able to remove the remaining damaged leaves by the end of this week. Day 7 - Lights increased to 30%, C02 increased to 800ppm, getting ready for week 2 of veg. Fed today, fairly low EC (<1.5) blend of Silica, Calcium, Kelp, Molasses, and Tribus Grow in a mixture of R/O and tap water. Very little runoff at 1gal per pot. Will most likely foliar again before lights off with a light fish hydrolysate mixture to help with any nitrogen issues. Any dead or dying leaves you see are from pre-transplant, I'm just waiting a few days longer for the existing rootballs' ph levels to swing back to a healthy range before removing all that unsightly growth. I'm really not sure when I'm going to remove the sunflowers growing in some of the pots, I've seen no negative effects yet. I could flip group 1 into flower if I wanted, the canopy is level and beautiful, however group 2 will take a while longer to fill a canopy. [ Grow Details ] Plant Count: 64 (Clones) Mother Age: 17 Months Strain: Gelat.OG (Phenotype 5) Breeder: Seedsman Hunter: OnlyTomatoes Veg Time: 3-5 Weeks Flower Time: 65 Days Training: Multiple Toppings Final Pot Size: 5 gal (Fabric) [ Room Details ] Room Size: 21'x9'x11' (190sqft, 2100cuft) Canopy Size: 10'x9' and 5'x9' (135sqft) Lighting: Grower's Choice ROI-E720 x6 (dimmed to 25% power during veg) Cooling: Cooper&Hunter 36k BTU Minisplit Dehumidification: Quest 225 Equipment Controllers: TrolMaster (Lighting, Cooling, and Dehumidification controls), AutoPilot (C02 Controls) Watering System: Manually controlled drip irrigation, x2 1gph drip emitters per pot [ Pre-Veg ] These poor clones have lived an abused life during 2021, sitting around in solo cups for over 2 months waiting for a new home. Normally I would never allow pre-veg plants to have such obvious deficiencies, but constant hand watering led to some poor nutrient decisions on my part. They've been in their final pots for a few days now and were topped on day 0 of veg. I plan on lowering the lights to 18"-24" within canopy around day 3, I'm just allowing some extra time for the roots to really dig in. I've found that a batch of dirt that was used had sunflower seeds in it, possibly winter food storage from an outside rodent, so I'm debating how long I will let these sunflower seedlings grow alongside my plants. They do make a good cover crop with amazing root systems, I just don't think that really applies in pots of this size where plants can choke each other out.

Hello my friends, ...June 7, 2022.. ..Day Nยฐ87... ...Flowering day Nยฐ31... My two Feminized Royal THCV are fine and beautiful, they are monster plants, the stretching seems stabilized and the flowers smells awesome sativa. #1...140cm #2.. 145cm I give them water with a tablet of Easy Micronutrients from RQS Organics Nutrients. They are under a MarsHydro TSW 2000 at 70% of power and at 20cm of the canopy. www.royalqueenseeds.com www.mars-hydro.com www.marshydro.eu Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ

# ? Blue Waffle F1 โ€” Pheno B ## Germination Week | Every Seed Finds Its Own Pace Hello GrowDiaries family! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŒฑ Welcome to the second diary of the Blue Waffle F1 project. While Pheno A was the first seedling to emerge, today we focus on her sister, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B. One of the most fascinating aspects of growing cannabis is discovering that even when everything is identical, every seed still chooses its own path. Same genetics. Same environment. Same grower. Same soil. Same equipment. Yet every seed tells its own story. And that's exactly why I decided to document each phenotype individually. --- ## A New Project Begins This diary is part of a completely separate project from my ongoing 12/12-from-seed garden. For this run, the objective is very different. Rather than flowering from day one, these plants will be grown under a traditional vegetative schedule, allowing them to fully develop before any decisions are made regarding training or structure. Current plans include: - 18/6 light schedule - Full vegetative development - Potential Low Stress Training (LST) - Potential topping - Possible Scrog implementation - Structural development observations - Full seed-to-harvest documentation At this stage, however, everything begins with germination. --- ## The Cannakan Germination Method Like many of the plants in my garden, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B began life inside the Cannakan germination system. The process remains intentionally simple. The seed was placed into the system using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. After approximately 24 hours of soaking, most of the water was removed, leaving only enough moisture to maintain ideal germination conditions. The seed quickly responded. A healthy taproot emerged and shortly afterward it was time to move into soil. Simple. Clean. Effective. Exactly how I like germination to be. --- ## Why Only Water? One question that often appears during germination is: "Why not feed the seed immediately?" The answer is surprisingly simple. The seed already contains everything required for the earliest stage of life. Inside the shell are all the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin early development. At this stage I prefer allowing nature to do exactly what nature designed the seed to do. The goal is not to feed the plant. The goal is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. The rest is already stored inside. --- ## From Germination To Soil Once a healthy taproot appeared, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B was transferred directly into Plagron Lightmix. This substrate has become a favorite starting medium because of its light texture, excellent aeration, and forgiving nature during early development. The seed settled into its new home and quickly began establishing roots. Although slightly slower than her sister, Pheno B emerged successfully and showed healthy early vigor from the very beginning. Sometimes one seed simply likes to take an extra moment before introducing itself. That doesn't make it weaker. It simply means it's following its own schedule. --- ## Why Use A Humidity Dome? During the first few days after emergence, both Blue Waffle seedlings spent time inside a humidity dome. Young seedlings have extremely small root systems and therefore limited access to water. Maintaining elevated humidity around the plant helps reduce moisture loss through the leaves while the root system develops below the surface. The humidity dome is not intended as a permanent environment. It is simply a temporary tool designed to support the plant during one of the most delicate stages of its life. As root development improves, the dome is removed and the plant begins adapting to the environment it will experience throughout the remainder of the grow. The goal is adaptation. Not dependence. --- ## Building The New Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit One of the most exciting parts of this project was assembling the brand-new Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit that will be used throughout the entire grow cycle. The entire system was assembled by one person without assistance. Even including: - Tent assembly - LED installation - Carbon filter setup - Inline fan installation - Ducting - Controller setup - Cable management Everything was fully operational in less than an hour. The instructions included with the kit are excellent and very beginner friendly. In my particular grow space I needed to make a few adjustments and perform some creative positioning to fit everything exactly how I wanted, but the process remained straightforward. The first impression was extremely positive. Build quality feels excellent. Materials feel solid. Assembly was simple. And now comes the fun part: Putting everything to the test. --- ## What's Included In The Kit? This project is being grown entirely using the Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit. The package includes: - Grow Tent 100ร—100ร—200 cm - Phytonaut LED Grow Light 320W - Inline Duct Fan 150 mm - Carbon Filter Air Purifier 150 mm - Grow Environment Controller - Grow Tent Clip Fan - Flexible Ducting - 24-Hour Timer - Rope Ratchet Hangers - Velcro Cable Management Accessories Everything currently operating inside the tent comes directly from this kit. No substitutions. No upgrades. No modifications. This allows a genuine evaluation of the complete system exactly as supplied. --- ## Environmental Conditions For this first week, conditions remained intentionally gentle. Using a PAR meter, light intensity was measured at approximately: ~200 PPFD Young seedlings simply do not require intense lighting. The objective during this stage is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing both seedlings to focus their energy on root development and early growth. The response was exactly what I hoped to see. Healthy posture. Healthy color. Steady progression. And no signs of stress. --- ## First Impressions Of Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B Although Pheno B emerged slightly later than her sister, she quickly demonstrated healthy vigor and strong development. Color remains excellent. Structure appears balanced. Growth is steady and consistent. And the differences between both phenotypes are already beginning to emerge. That is exactly why these individual diaries exist. Watching each plant reveal its personality is one of the most rewarding parts of growing. At only one week old, this story is still just beginning. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks we'll continue documenting every stage of development. We'll follow: - Root establishment - Vegetative growth - Environmental management - Structural development - Training decisions - Nutrient progression - Genetic expression - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype decides to reveal For now, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B has completed a successful first week and has settled comfortably into her new home. The roots are growing. The leaves are reaching. And the adventure has officially begun. Grower's Love everyone. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ? Sometimes the plant that takes an extra day to arrive ends up telling the most interesting story.

A little slow on putting up the volume. Donโ€™t know the culprit. Co2 was elevated most of the time. Maybe the humidity was a bit too high.

Just very happy with the structure of the plant and how well it was maintained. Was very worried during drying and cure as I lost a lot of terpene and became woody and until 10 days of curing the smell and taste just totally evolved into very desirable terpene. Very happy strain if you want โ€œrock hard egg shaped budsโ€ this is your go to, the main line did wonders. Will be trying this strain again when I upgrade light

Started the week with a big mid flower feed with NFTG. Also shaved her legs up a bit and defoliated some leaves blocking some light. She is growing tall for a indica and her leaves are more similar to a sativa imo but regardless she is growing very well! Day 57- NFTG mid flower feed/ Mammoth P/Recharge @ 6.5 Ph Day58-59-No water Day 60- Recharge/Cal-Mag/Mammoth P/ Bloom Khaos Feed @6.5ph Day 61- No water
