Good week of growth. NeXT defoliation on the 11th. Will strip near 75% of the leaves. Can’t wait for the new growth! Going to start adding Bud Candy and Carboload on my next feedings.

It's been a pretty good week. Carl 2 stretched out like a motherfucker, nearly a four inch stretch as of today. The accidental topping due to blunt trauma a while ago seems to have stopped the stunted growth and allowed it to really shoot upwards and outwards. The split on UKBS 2 is still necrotic, and the effects seem to be travelling down the stem. I have a fan on it for airflow and I'm hitting it twice daily with a vinegar solution to try and kill off what seems to be white mold in the stem. As of recently the spread has slowed down somewhat, so I'm feeling hopeful. Next feeding it'll get hit with another round of nature's candy and velokelp to try and build some strength back up and come out a real winner in 3 months or so. The tent has been flipped to 12/12, but the outdoor plants wont be flowering for another 3 months-ish minimum, so this diary's gonna get a little interesting in terms of week type. Carl 1 is incredibly stretchy inside the tent, almost 6 maybe 8 inches from when I flipped and Scrogged. Gave Carl 1 a fat haircut a couple days ago, she reacted quite well. Updates will come throughout the week. Happy growing and thanks for checking out the grow. By 5/11/2021 - I've acquired some peroxide to try and assist UKBS 2 with the mold/pathogen issue. The previous night's application seemed to work, and I applied again today. Hopefully she'll pull through. One of the main stems is drooping massively, I may lose it but hopefully not.

Start Flush

Week 3 In the beginning of Week 3 I used 1/2 teaspoon of Grow Big which was a mistake! They really just needed to be left alone! Showed the tiniest bit of nute burn on the tips and when I saw that I went straight to checking PPM which was at like 1500 (yikes) and flushed until I got it down by 300 ppm. Should have waited until the 3rd set of leaves to feed! Luckily it was caught early and they are flourishing with no further issues. The side lighting from the T5 bulb really seems to be helping. They are really going along nicely, here's hoping I can get them through the net few weeks in the same fashion :) Moved the light down from 28 inches in the beginning to 17/18 inches by the end of week 3. The plants seem to love it and aren't showing any signs of heat/light stress

We are at 21 days from these girls breaking the surface and they are making progress. I noticed at the beginning of the week that they were a little overdosed on nitrogen so I added 2 gallons of tap water to the reservoir and adjusted the ph to 6. They are still looking a little heavy on N but their growth rate is going great so I think it should balance out by the end of next week. I dont plan on doing a water change until I flower them. I left the plants alone most of the week. Tied most of them down to spread them out and defoliated a few lower leaves on day 20. The branches on most of these plants are thick and solid already. They don't budge easily. Bananasicle is looking pretty funky with uneven branch and node growth but we are just going to push forward. Still pumping nutrients and beaming light 24 hours a day. I'm thinking day 28 we will switch them to flower and see if any of these ladies can bring some❄️🔥💨

So the nuggets are dense and doubling in size every few days, the trichomes are cover the plants and they are sticky. The Girls are thirsty, I'm topping them off every other day with 1.5 gallons of nutes, at this point I feel like all i'm doing is mixing nutes in the reservoir. By the time I switch over season two to the grow room, i'm going to increase the size of my reservoir to 10 gallon so I can spend less time mixing. I'll be flushing out the buckets in 2 weeks to give the girls fresh water for the final 2 weeks! My Burp bucket project worked out great. Thanks to several youtube videos those videos are much appreciated! I made a few modification to what I saw online. so here's the parts list: (1) 3.5 gallon Menards Bucket (1) Gamma Bucket Lid 18" Black Irrigation drip tubing 12" Fish tank air hose (2) Fish tank check valves (1) tee for air line (1) small fish tank pump I started out modifying the input, most of the videos I saw had a hose with a check valve just poked in the lower part of the bucket with pin holes and end tied off. What I did is I took the black tubing and circled the bottom of the bucket, then I took a small drill bit and drilled holes through the tubing about every 2 inches to disburse the air all the way around the bucket then I used a tee to connect the 2 ends of the circle and connected that to the tube entering the lower portion of the bucket. the next change I made was instead of having a short hose poke through the upper portion, I drilled a small hole and hot glued the check valve inside the bucket with only the top of the valve sticking out of the bucket. After you get all the hoes and check valves in snap on the Gamma Lid, Tighten it up and turn on the pump. I added the hoses going into the water so you could actually see that its working I plugged the pump into a smart outlet and set it to run for 20 min 3 times a day, so no need to manually burp your nuggets while they are curing. You'll also need to put a 62% boneva 2 way pouch in the bucket with the nugs to keep the humidity correct and optionally have a small hydrometer to verify, I'm going to mount one on the lid to be able to check it without having to open the bucket. unless curiosity gets the best of me....

I'm cutting the nutes big time trying to get to 300ppm and I'll start flushing, main cola starting to show a purple reddish hue through the buds and sugar leaves, looks lovely just wondering should I be worried Update: reducing nutes still before flush, some buds going slightly purpley/reddish colour, still looks great just wondering what could be

Perfect tropical-like weather. No problems to report. Excellent growth. Still rearranging net tent as this bastard stretch a lot. Stigmas are finally forming. This strain surprises me more every day, she's the first to bloom when she should be the last, she should be unsuitable for outdoor cultivation and instead she's a great performing one. Excellent pheno. 😉👊

The Girls Are Looking Healthy. There’s A Bit Of Deficiency In The Stardawg Leaves But That’s Because Of An Experiment I Was Doing With The Great White Mycorrhizae Where I Sprinkle Some On The Plant Saucer Because There’s So Much Roots Poking Out Under The Smart Pots. The Root System On These Girls Are Massive, I’ve Come To The Conclusion That I Will Try 7 Gallon Smart Pots My Next Grow. 3 Of The Girls Have Done Start To Bud But I’ve Still Been Giving Them The Grow Nutrients Rather Than The Bloom. I Was Waiting Till I Reach Week 5 And Now That I’ve Reach I Will Be Feeding Them The Bloom. Height: Gorilla Glu: 17 inches Stardawg: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookie: 25 inches Purple Power: 27 inches Lemon OG: 22 inches Girls Scout Cookie: 25 inches (3 Gallon)

Noticing some weight gain this week. The smell of these girls is booming now. They’re drink a lot more now has well. The tricks are starting to cover the fan leaves. Added some pictures outside of the tent for you guys Keep it cloudy‼️🤟🏾

This week we had to go on a destination wedding and had to have friends house sit. Again 😔 I hate having to do that, but this time everything went very smoothly. We didnt lose any plants lol. Before we left I was able to get #2 transplanted in a 7x7 nursery pot. Man was she ready too! I've decided since I am only growing 2 Choc Mknt OGs that i will be training one(both high and low stress) and this plant(#2) I will be leaving completely alone to do her own thing 🤞 Watering has went smoothly this week. Both plants only wanting water once in this 7 day stretch. I think because the transplant soil was already very moist. #1 has rooted and already started taking off from her transplant last week. Tent update: Our ES300 by the green sunshine company arrived this week!!! I was able to get it I'll installed before leaving. So now in my Vivosun 2x4 tent I have 1 es300. I moved the viparspectra to my large flower tent. The Choc mint seem to absolutely love this light. I started it at 70% power(its a dimmable light fixture) and am slowly moving it up over the course of a week. Day 12: my friend reported great growth on #2!! So she is rooted as well and doing good. Also, the heat in my 2x4 is in the low 80° getting up to 85° even 90°(for a few minutes) I'm mostly running Sativas which love the heat, but I have noticed Choc Mint OG prefers it a little cooler. Her top leaves are canoeing and curling a bit. Thanks for checking out my diary! Sorry this week was lacking a bit 🤷‍♂️ now that I'm home they're only gonna get better!

Started lsting both purple punches

01/04/2022- Hello and welcome all been away on some family matter. So today was the last day this girl got watered and will also be the last day she got light as well, she will be cut down Friday morning. The smell has gotten a lot more stronger since flush was started last week Wednesday. Will update before I chop her down.

So, guys.. This is her first month blooming. 4 complete weeks has passed. Here we are for 2 more. Gave Her a super powerful egg shell fert (all powdered - Phosforium Whelthy.) 07/10/20 - We are in the middle of week 5. Thats the way they look like. For me a good number of buds and they are as dense as I thought they would be by this time. I think everything is under control despite some foxtails cuz the heat. Loving the experience.
