Beginning of week 5. Very happy with what is happening, no problems whatsoever. Buds are fattening up. Northern light is like on steroids and will become one massive bud, gorillas and dance world look more sativa dominant. Tons of trichomes, very sticky. Baby autogorilla is still shy so I topped her :) for the rest of the plants in veg I will create another journal.

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

So this is the new setup I got👍🤘 i will be ending this diary and starting a new one with all my plants in it. This 8x8 tent is massive and the fc4800 is a bright as the sun beast 💪pretty heavy for the size but that's because it's built soild💪 PLEASE watch the video and leave a comment 🤘🎸🥁 rock n Roll a joint🤘

03/04 Belle grande dame. H - 3s. théoriquement avant effeuillage 🤪. 04/04 je l'ai nourrie Tous les jour la semaine dernière. Plus 2 arrosage a l'eau le soir tellement elle réclame. 😀 09/04 Dernier dosage de nute. Elle commence à ambrer. Tous vas bien.😍👍

Still extraordinarily green. Buds forming nicely. Beginning to increase the nutrients. Slow and steady, this girl.

Done. Harvested ALL on Day 72 - one LCC was very heavy on amber trichomes, one BPP and one LCC were what i consider optimum, and one BPP was VERY milky, like peak potency. very few amber. Interested to try them all! Total Drying time was 7 Days for both LCCs and 8 Days for both BPPs. I decided to do my first proper dry trim. For two plants i hit the spot and could just shave off the remaining leaves. For the other two it was much more of a hassle. They already smell way better than my previous runs where i dry trimmed. Also the colors are awesome for both plants that purpled. Smoke review will have to wait some time. Right now, all of them are curing.

Day 1 ....add additional soil, water and 1st topping Day 3 - checked for 2nd topping Day 5- watering....strong stems already

50th day of flowering behind us Purple Punch X Do-si-dos # 1 and # 2 ripen trichomes are milky, at the end of 8 weeks they will go under the scythe. Zombie Kush has a moment too, it looks unbelievable, the resin is fluffy and the velvet splendor. And bananas hopefully they will be good .. We are looking forward to the harvest! Thanks a lot to everyone who likes the diary, let it grow! Thanks!

Finally time has come to chop down plants 1&2. They look ready and trichomes are mostly cloudy with some embers. Both plants weight 750 grams as whole. I would assume there is around 30-40 grams dry on each, but we would have to dry cure and than return with results. 3rd plant can probably go for another week, she looks like she can get her buds bigger, also still many many white pistils. She is looking very promising with very long buds (: 3rd plant chopped after 1 week, weighs 500 grams wet as whole. Joining the 2 other girls in the closet

Only the final straight now will start flushing within the next week. Really not a lot to say at this point other than roll on harvest time!

3RA SEMANA DE CRECIMIENTO, 21 dìas, se aplicò poda apical a todas ya que haremos un lst a todas posterior a su recuperaciòn para asi llenar el espacio de 80x80 rapidamente, en 1 semana mas se harà transplante a maceta de 7 Litros definitiva y se hizo una aplicacion ya de base A+B DE mills. CABE DESTACAR QUE UTILIZAMOS MICORRIZAS EN CADA TRASNPLANTE saludos!!!

The smell is getting stronger and stronger. Super excited so far

Critical x Animal cookies Is just growing into her nutrition. I was running a little strong from beginning. I took the first leaves off as they were damaged pretty bad. She should be ready to go now. She has been growing under the Hortibloom solux 350. I pruned the tips on roots to keep them spreading wide vs down. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Swelling up and right on track for a good result, still showing signs I pushed them a little hard with the tip burn but nothing I can do about that now

This was the last week on vegetation light schedule, we think she had grown enough to start flowering cicle. We also started the defoliation, gradually removing the leaves, when we find it necessary.

🙃

Soil level is a bit low after the transplant so getting ready to add some in. Took domes off and did first Nute feed on day 12. Using a FloraTrio mix with a touch of Cali-Magic and epsom salt

Week 9 (27-3 to 2-4) 27-3 Temperature: 25 degrees (lights on) 18.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 63% (highest) 55% (lowest) Added 15L to the reservoir. 28-3 Temperature: 25.1 degrees (lights on) 18.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 56% (lowest) 29-3 Temperature: 27.2 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 48% (lowest) As you can see on the pictures, the Chemdog #2 has a flat stem. I dont know how, but the same happened with the grow before this one, but to a Biscotti from a different seed bank. I never seen this before, so i am really surprised to see this happening back to back. Does anyone know if its just coincidence or can lightstress or LST/HST cause this? 30-3 Temperature: 25.3 degrees (lights on) 20.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 54% (lowest) 31-3 Temperature: 25.8 degrees (lights on) 20.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) Today i decided to turn of the reservoir/autopots. I think the plants are overwatered, and because of that probably have light stress and other problems. Also, it can be that i underfeeded them, and that the PH was too high. I turned the light down to 40% strength aswell. 1-4 Temperature: 23.6 degrees (lights on) 20.6 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 57% (lowest) 2-4 Temperature: 22.6 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) No pictures.
