i was on holiday for 14 days and left the plant to its own (AUTOPOT takes care of that) and when i came home i was amazed. it tolerated the topping very well and is now twice as tall as it was two weeks ago. i topped it again straight away. so 4 times in total this time. if it continues to grow like this, it will be a monster in october. a few leaves are already bigger than my hand. unfortunately i broke one stem with light LST, which is why i'm not using the LST after all. i hope it recovers from the injury. 😵💪

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them) 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix 🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶 Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear. That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed. Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B) 15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well. This forms the main P + K part of the formula. Step 3 – Combine Solutions Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear. That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free. 🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L. Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active. 🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on. 📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range. Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue. 💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix) Warm Water ≈ 22 L total Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced. I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything. 👀👀👀👀👀👀 Observations and changes 👀👀👀👀👀👀 27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g 28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12 02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update. 09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy.

NOTES: Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can. The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil. Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants. After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting. Day64 (19.12.) Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average. Day65 (20.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process. Day66 (21.12.) Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer. Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would. Day67 (22.12.) Day68 (23.12.) Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before. One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back. Happy holidays everyone! Day69 (24.12.) Day70 (25.12.) I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Se instaló malla scrog, first time. Se riega foliar con delta 9. Entrando a floracion. Se accidentó una glueberry que mantenia un alambre en su tallo, el sustrato se seco demasiado y el tallo cedió. Quedaron buenos brazos restante por lo tanto será interesante ver el desarrolla de esa planta versus sus hermanas. Primera semana de LSD-25

420Fastbuds StrawberryGorillaAuto Week 2 What up grow fam weekly update on these three. This week has been fun seeing the first leafs getting bigger. I started adding some GH Calimagic to my feed. I'm feeding 500ml of PH'd well water and .25 tsp/gal of some calmag about every other day. Started also my preventive maintenance of sparying PureCrop1 every Monday as the plants seem to respond well and keeps the pest away. All in all Happy Growing

Day 43 : Watering with co2 tab / 5L. Also added food again because i think they need it. Increased ppm to 850. Maybe the next one will be pure water. Ventilation works all the time when lights are on. Temp and humi are stable and this is good for the girls. Although she is indica, she still grows. 9 cm in 3 days. So i guess this is the reason her buds are a bit behind. Patience is the key always. Also removed some burned leaves from all ladies. Edit (Day 47) : Watering with co2 tab every 5L. I watered with juices again at 850ppm because i felt that they need it. Only WC drank pure water because of burns. She grow 13cm in 4 days. An indica pheno stretches like she is in preflowering stage. And this i think is happening. At start she took a lot of air and maybe she felt cold. So, now she started again to develop. I make a prediction that her buds will be really fat. She is very healthy and responses absolute perfect to the nutrient schedule.

I have got a whole crew of four Bubble OG plants, and they're all doing really well. These plants are like quadruplets – they all look super similar, with the same strong smell that's kinda like a putrid skunk. They're all uniform in height and have the same spacing between their branches. It's like they're all following the same blueprint. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 17 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17553.9, Another incredible week in the garden! First week of flower and already my best grow cycle yet! Wow these girls can stretch! Did not expect the canopy to double in size! By the end of the week, had to super-crop the top growth. Buds are also starting to swell up and everything looks really healthy. Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! Decided to reset the veg garden. All mother plants were cycled out and pots were reset and re-amended. Transplanted the Heady OG and TKO clones which are looking healthy and vegging along beautifully! Also transplanted the spare Heady OG clones. Still need to transplant the original mother clones into solo cups. Still have lots to do! Onwards to next week Ensign!

Time to start the mother cycling process. --- After the culling, will also top dress each pot. - [16:59]: Took the floor rack, floor fan, clones, and cutting out of the tent. --- Will transplant both Heady OG and TKO clones before watering. - [16:01]: Using a basic hacksaw, --- Cut the base of each mother and mulched the entire plant. - [17:21]: Done! --- Mulched all mother plants into a paper bag. - [17:34]: Time to top dress the first pot! --- Starting with the front right pot, --- Disconnected the auto watering system. --- Took the pot out of the tent and placed it on the floor. - [17:59]: Removed the rootball. --- Temporarily removed the soil sensor and swapped the AA battery with a new one. --- Also temporarily removed the straw mulch. --- Tilled and removed the larger roots as well. These will be added back later as part of the mulch. --- Continued until the top 5-6 inches of top soil was loose and soft. --- The soil moisture felt great and smelled earthy with no foul odors. --- Also glad to find worms in all pots! - [18:03]: Time for the soil amendments! --- Top dressed: ------ 1/4 cup of Kashi Blend ------ 1/2 cup of Craft Blend ------ 2 cups of BuildASoil Worm Castings --- Sprinkled each amendment evenly. --- Using my fingers, gently tilled the amendments into the top few inches of soil. --- Also dug and loosened the center area. Made sure the area was deep enough for a solo cup and had some of the top dressing mixed in. --- Dug a hole and placed a solo cup into the center of the pot. --- Made sure the sides of the cup were tucked in and each cup has drainage holes. - [18:24]: Placed the larger roots as mulch. Spread the roots evenly. --- Placed the original straw mulch on top. - [18:33]: Placed the Ecowitt soil sensor back into the pot. --- Also re-connected the drip-ring rig. --- Set the pot aside for later. - [19:36]: Repeated this process for each pot. --- Alright all pots have been reset! --- Time for a bit of cleanup! - [19:53]: Cleaned the tent floor. --- First sweeped and removed the larger leaf debris. --- Then sprayed the floor with distilled water and let it soak for a bit before wiping with paper towels. - [22:48]: Placed all pots into the tent and connected the drip-rings to the auto-watering system. --- Also placed the floor fan back. --- Ca-Caw! Time to transplant both Heady OG (BX1 #1) and TKO into the (7-gallon) pots! --- Let's go! - [22:59]: Gently removed the left two solo cups from the fabric pots leaving perfect holes. ------ Sprinkled 1/4tsp of Great White into each hole, --- Dusted the sides of the hole. --- Also sprinkled a bit around the top soil. --- Great! Time to transplant! --- Going to start with TKO since she is going to be in the back left quadrant. --- It’s been a day since her last watering. --- To loosen the rootball from the cup, I gently squeezed the sides before pressing the bottom upwards. --- Vulcan-gripped the base of the plant and flipped her upside down. - [23:09]: TKO easily dropped straight out of her cup! --- Nice! Roots look healthy and white! --- Did not break up the rootball. - [23:15]: Gently placed her into the pre-inoculated hole (back left quadrant). --- Pressed and evened out the top soil. - [23:22]: Repeated this process for Heady OG (front left quadrant). --- Looking great my ladies! --- Okay! Time to water the new mothers and re-amended pots! --- Since most of the time these girls will be receiving straight RO water, going to water in a diversity of microbes to start off the initial breakdown process. - [23:57]: Filled a pitcher with 8 cups of RO water, ------ Added 1/16tsp of Quillaja Saponaria Extract ------ Added 1/16tsp of Beauveria Bassiana Plus ------ Added 1/8tsp of Recharge ------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Aloe ------ Added 1/4tsp of Horticultural Coconut ------ Added 1/2tsp of Mycrobe Complete ------ Added 1/2tsp of WDG3000 Extra Strength BTI - [+00:04]: Mixed the solution before pouring 2 cups straight into a pump sprayer. --- Misted the solution onto the straw mulch of the back left pot. --- Tried to avoid spraying the solo cups. --- Repeated this process for each of the pots in the veg tent. --- Misted the straw mulch evenly. - [+00:22]: Done with the tent reset! --- All pots are fully re-amended and clones have been transplanted! --- The tent is ready for another veg cycle! - [+00:25]: Checked on the propagation dome. --- Growth is looking great! --- Heady OG cuttings have probably both rooted, but will leave them in the tray for a bit longer. The Heady OG (BX1 #1) mother is clearly going to survive and the genetics has been preserved. So going to wait to transplant the extra cuttings into solo cups at the same time. --- Did not mist the top growth. --- Opened the right side vent. Now only one vent is open. - [+00:27]: Oops! The extra mother plant cuttings still need to be placed into the tent. --- Earlier in the day, refreshed the RO water. --- Also while culling the mothers, took a few more cuttings from each to root in the cup. - [+00:35]: Instead of using the floor rack, decided to place the cup of cuttings on top of the propagation dome. --- Placed the cup on top of an upside-down drip tray. Since these cuttings don’t need a lot of PPFD, hoping the in-direct bounce lighting will be enough. - [+00:42]: Quickly checked on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Woah these ladies are still stretching! --- To my surprise, Heady OG has stretched taller than TKO and may need to be super cropped soon. --- This grow cycle is starting to get pretty wild! Let’s go ladies! - [+00:47]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 53% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 48% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 26% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 51% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 55% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 56% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 58% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 62% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+01:06]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found.

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds I’m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or what’s up but pretty bummed about this run so far😅😅 hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasn’t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in it’s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

I'm sorry, but at the time I stopped updating the diaries because I moved to a new house and changed my routines. I'll leave a photo of the final product here, but don't worry, I'll be back at full speed. 🚀🚀 new diaries coming 🔜🔜

here we go folks another week in. Girls are looking in top condition. x2 stardawgs on one side are sativa dominant and are thankfully set under scrog. Other side is squat and bushier girls (x1 stardawg, x1 Blue dream), figured they don't need Scrog - Blue Dream is either sensitive to Ph fluctuations (less likely) or lacking a bit in Magnesium., So will be increasing cal mag for them she is getting brown rust spots on fan leaves. I will say girls are responding very well to recharge , on every feed I see immediate boos tin canopy. I expect good yield hopefully if all goes well, they are stacking nice !! blueprints for colas 😍 Iv done another big defoliation to girls as well and lolipopped to how I wanted...little bits n bobs never end until girls are finished so... auto pilot mostly from here on. no insects in the room gives me confidence. Enjoy the pics and stay safe.
