July 12, 28 days since flip Clones: So far all 3 remaining clones are growing well. Buds are really starting to form and getting a ton of pistals forming. Plants grew a little bit in the last week. Ended up doing another aggressive round of super cropping to keep them from burning up. Some of the colas are above the light so may add supplemental lighting but honestly so many bud sites I’m not concerned about getting a large enough sample. Began to notice some lower leaves dying and some spots on some upper leaves so top dressed both earth boxes with some craft blend, cow cal 24, big 6, some potassium and some epsom salts. Should make her nice and happy again. At this point going to flower for a few months and drop individual updates as the plants stand out Mothers and father: Didn’t end up topping like I said I was going to last week so going to top this week. Just trying to stunt them a bit so they don’t get too large. No major updates other than this God bless!

Last week I fought some yellowing of the leaves. Did some small adjustments on PH to keep it in the 5.6 range. Seemed to stop it from progressing. For Week 3 Veg I topped the plants. I plan to flip the lights at the end of week 3 and move into flower. Lights are still at 25% power Day 17 Leaves are getting darker. Everything is looking good. Day 18 Turned room temp down to 73F from 76F. Fearing it is warming up my res tank too much. Day 19 Starting to get yellowing again. checked everything and can't find a good reason for it. Did notice some cloudiness in my res tank. Added 2 ML/Gal of peroxide. have Hydroguard on the way to help. I'll be adding more fans this weekend. I have light air movement currently. Also found a few spider mites and sprayed Greencleaner to all plants. Current environment settings: Room Temp 72.74 F Room Humidity 63.63% (After spraying, Trending down). Room CO2 589PPM Tank PH 5.718 Tank PPM (500 Scale) 813 Tank Temp 74.5 F Day 20 Recalibrated my EC probe just to be sure it was also accurate. wasn't off by much. Dialed back my flooding to every 5 hours to encourage Rooting. <-- Strong roots = strong Plants Sprayed for mites again.

Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Hello. This is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6 of flowering. It's going good in here. About 5 more weeks to go before harvest. And I flush for the last 2 week. Starting to get some good resin flow going now, that's slippery to the touch. Got some nice smells going on now with these girls. Sweet Citrusy Goodness. They are getting a couple of watering's a week now. They are looking good. Well we've come to the end of Weirdo #13. Hope it didn't offend anyone... it's only art!!! I'll find something else to fill that spot for next week. OK. Have Fun... Chuck.

Here’s the moment I’ve been waiting for! I’ve decided to make some big changes for this round in the evolution of my grow! I’ve decided that since fastbuds has entrusted me with their brand new unreleased genetics to throw everything out the window and go for new, new, new! First off I’m going to ditch most of general hydroponics nutrients to try out the brand new floraflex nutes because they claim there will be no salt buildup. I have completely ruined 6 pumps, all of my grow totes and every piece of tubing associated with my hydroponics system. Secondly I’m going to set the rockwool aside in trade for the floraflex 6” pot pro system with the “bubbler” using coco as my medium. So let’s get locked and loaded and see just what these unknown ladies are going to do for us. The featured 3 plants here are a first from them in a photo period fast flowering 50-60 day finish and I have zero additional data.

I would be lying if I knew how far her flower phase come, this couple weeks been absence only gave me results, and left me with a catalogue nightmare, but thank goodness my previous posts are dated, so it gives a rough idea, but genes differ within strains, some strain grow vigorously at certain stages, and I think this baby hit her phase. She will be my best tree when it comes bud quantity, when it comes to potency, I will have settle with what I encounter and except the outcome.

The medium had issues from, pretty much, day one.. She did show the issues on the leaves.. But it did NOT slow her down a bit.. She outgrew her side of the tent. Very stretchy! Super pretty.. I feel I got a very Mandarin Sunset pheno type.. Looks alot like the pics of ETHOS Mandarin Sunset.. But wow.. Great terpy strain also.. Very lemony.. I love ETHOS!

Day 82. Its 81 day from seed touched soil ! If leaves would be healthier, i would run them at least one more week, but it is, what it is. They spent 24 hours in darkness and now its Trim Jail !!! ;))) Harvest Day ! Day 88. Tried bud from each, clearest weed straight from drying rack ! Only 3 feeds makes huge difference to harshness at the beggining. Still Queen is pure Tangie, can it be seed mistake ? ;))) Day 89. Boy i am f@ckingly surprised !!! Heather - I love You, Your team, Your strains !!!! I still don't get how, but numbers are amazing, Thank You very much !!!! Will update this diary as cure goes, but i feel so many nice words were unspoken, felt that FB will change my view about Autos - and they DID !!! Amazing house ! Happy Growing !

this pheno was covered with resin, with plenty of snow covered sugar leaves, so this strain could definitely be good a source of sativa hash oil. medicinal potentials include migraines, depression, and fatigue
