8 Weeks The "stretch" is done, still a small and really bushy plant, did a little lolipoping but not much. Increased EC and will increase it more to around 2 next week. Hope I don't get mold in this big mess. Some forming buds are really stretched out? idk, never had that before, maybe due to the heat? sadly can't do anything about that, summer. Added Spiderfarmer Glow30 light and they were flicker heavy, removed them soon after installing them, unusable, not only for the video but the light also made me dizzy and sick. After that I installed a single Mars Hydro VG80 bar. Also Installed the Mars Hydro Adlite IR15. Values are average of the day.

I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hi everyone :-) . Today the new Aeroponic diary starts with the Runtz clone :-). I cut 4 cuttings last week, one of which was left at the end for the ScrOG. I'll cut them into a thick bush again. Today the first cutting started to take root which means that I can start topping in 7-10 days. New update will follow next week.

Hello everyone! 🤗 We have more autos from Ganja farmer seeds started today. I sowed them directly into the soil. The hydroponic ebb and flow system I am using this round is new and is called AirCube from growace. If your interested in looking for more info on it here's a link to there website 👇 https://growace.com/?rfsn=7577242.b784c7&utm_ source=refersion&utm_ medium=affiliate&utm_ campaign=7577242.b784c7 This will cut out my automatic watering and help bring more oxygen to the roots while still maintaining a fully organic grow.

Week 2 Day 6 Flower Super happy with this grow so far! I've been defoliating them every couple or few days up until last night when I removed all the lower growth which didn't make it to the canopy/net and a fair amount more leaves which shaded branches. Going into week 3 of flower I will continue to defoliate if need be but I don't think I will have to do much we will see if they stretch more growth or slow down and start flower production. Thanks for looking in everyone Happy Christmas Fire Farmer 🔥👨‍🌾

Que pasa familia, vamos con la septima semana de floración de estas Tropicana poison F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío , las 3 plantas seleccionadas fueron trasplantadas a su maceta definitiva, ya superaron el shock por el trasplante, estas semanas las paremos todas a floración. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Las jodidas estiraron demasiado, veremos como acaban, no me gustan tan altas. Las flores están cogiendo un olor bastante curioso que todavía no puedo llegar a describir, espero la siguiente semana poder dar algo de información. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

We had a mega load of rain over the last few days and sadly I lost a huge NYD to stem rot. Anyways I new February in Durban was going to be a challenge. The soil doesn't drain very well where I live and unfortunately it just got too wet for too long. All the other plants are looking healthy and I did do treatments around their crowns with some peroxide followed by fungicide (organic oils). The haze x cheese is looking epic this week, buds are getting really big. Spotted some PM on some lower branches so I cleared out some undergrowth and have been pulling the odd leaves I see. Nothing too bad. Humidity has been 100% at points. Getting awesome hints of limone as I walk through the garden. Can't wait!

Hey everyone 😀. A lot has happened this week 👍. Flowering day 28 Today 1.2 liters were poured. (See nutrient table for nutrient addition). The humidifier was refilled with an Ec of 0.4. The tent has been cleaned. Flowering day 29 Today the plants and buds were checked for health and cleaned. Flowering day 30 Today was poured again. This mam she got 1 liter of water. (See nutrient table for nutrient addition). Of course, the plant was checked for its vitality 🧐😅. Flowering day 31 The humidifier was refilled a little and the tent cleaned 👍. Days of flowering 32 Today 1.2 liters of water were poured. (See nutrient table for nutrient addition). Fans, fans, electrics have been checked for functionality 😊. Flowering day 33 The plant has been carefully checked for pests, etc. Flowering day 34 Today 1.6 liters were poured, so that it had about 10% drain 👍 For nutrient addition, see the nutrient table. The tent was plastered and rubbed with disinfectant. The buds look beautiful, and already smell extremely tasty again 😍. I wish you a lot of fun with the update, let it grow 🍀 and all stay healthy 🙏🏻 You can buy this Strain at https://www.barneysfarm.com/blue-cheese-34 You can buy the fertilizer at https://www.greenbuzzliquids.com/ Type: Blue Cheese ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blueberry X Original Cheese 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green Buzz Liquids : Organic Grow Liquid Organic Bloom Liquid Organic more PK More Roots Fast Buds Humic Acid Plus Growzyme Big Fruits Clean Fruits Cal / Mag Organic Ph - Pulver ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 - 0.4 EC.

Big healthy plant for the most part, but the flowering just won’t kick in! This is the week that says she’s running behind or that she’s going to be on a cocaine diet till the end? Need some bulk, it’s week 8 already. I don’t like my girls fast anyways, so I’ll be a patient gent. Day 51: Early AM: It seems that the flowers are starting to fatten up at a familiar rate now. Stretch is definitely over to boot. Feels like a week or so behind my other Auto grows, but I am gathering from the peeps on GD that grow times can be all over the place with Autos; even with seeds front the same plant. I won't be a Debbie-downer, but I cant help but think what this thing would have done in a bigger space. I left her alone a couple days ago as her stretch slowed noticeably. A pluck here and there moving forward, but that's about it for the sadistic stuff. Day 51: Late Afternoon: She's about to take off in the flower it feels. 6 hours passed, and I was like "oh, hello there!" If nothing goes too crazy, I'm hoping she'll be a good one regardless of her 3.8 sf living quarters. I never did move the top shelf, so the light is less than 8 inches from the canopy. I'll keep an eye on the "crispy effect" out of complete laziness and fear of dropping the light on the plant! Tallest branches are around the perimeter and still hitting their DLI. The center/down the plant is getting blasted by the light, so I suspect about 6 or so runners to hit the canopy and hang out with the FIM family in the next week or so? Day 51: Evening: Bigger bucket = bigger plant in hydro? One heck of a root mass going on in her trough. I tried pushing the roots to the back of the bucket so I could ph without getting roots directly. Nope! That bucket is filled with roots, and its an 8 gallon bucket. I would have never thought an auto would have enough time to grow into an 8 gallon bucket. I was banking on some extra nutrient volume, so I could go out of town for 4-5 days. Hard to say on bucket size though, I have grown 10 foot tomato monsters in 3 gallon Ebb/Flow pots so maybe she would have grown the same in a 5 gallon bucket? I don't think that much root volume could grown in an 5 gallon bucket, so bigger bucket = bigger plant here? Things that make you go "hmmm..." Day 53: A lot of undesirable undergrowth that blew up during stretch. Like a ton of it, but I’m done messing with her. Took out the top shelf and reconfigured exhaust. What a pain. I didn’t drop the light but the IP cam took a nose dive on a branch. Now the light is about 12-14” from canary instead of 6-8'. She started to get some light burn so I had to do the deed. Wider IP camera view with added distance so that's a plus! Plant is very happy at 550-575ppm. 600ppm seems to be the number without burning plants? Humidity, temp, and ppm AND light distance in check. Raising the light opened the focal point of this light quite a bit; especially in the center where the PPFD was over 2500 at the center and light less than 8 inches from the canopy. Feeling good. All is in check with some room to grow. She will gain another 2" in height I presume through flower. Day 54: The jury is out of this light. I hits my dli from veg to harvest with it's fixed position design, but wondering if 50watts more would have been the number. I'm going to keep the light in there to keep the data flow congruent to its original design. I hit my DLI right now from the top of the canopy to about 10-12" down the plant. Lighter specs from my last grow, but its hard to tell what is getting what once you leave top of the canopy. Hopefully it will suffice! I moved the light a few inches closer as my DLI was getting light in some of the corners/perimeter. She right 10-11" and is about as good as she is going to get given150watts. I am realizing that 200 watt is probably the optimized wattage here if some canopy penetration is desired, but light these dimensions are not plentiful[. 250 watt and that would be max with managing heat and exhaust sound levels. 250 watt would accommodate a fix state design no problem. I hate to change the light variable but I only have the luxury of one-at-a-time grows, so everything counts on some levels. Been using the PAR meter on and off throughout the day. Penetration needs to be about 25% stronger. Its a perfect light for your average auto grow, but if these results repeat themselves a 250 watt is probably in order. I am making the executive decision to install a 250 watt bar light. I found one with a small footprint at 240watts. Hard find, specs are more than adequate for 4 sf. Will maybe get down a bit deeper but things are looking really crammed with the bottom half. It is PACKED with bud sites and likely not enough light. Questioning the light change, but will definitly thin some lower stuff and "officially" let her be. Since in bumped up the CalMag to about 1.5 ml/gal the reservoir has been running ph equilibrium for 6 days now at 600ppm. I’m guessing this deficiency was driving down ph instead of the usual up/equilibrium in week 7. My first auto to eat at 600ppm for a week with no tip burn. She looks fit, I’ll keep her diet here as the max. I have never cut MicroGro out completely in a grow before. I have been faithful to GH 7 part series since for long time. This grow I took the GH feeding chart and worked backwards to a ppm level I found on the web to be an acceptable range for Autos. These ratios have traditionally been acceptable and without issue. Beautiful plants every time. On the last two runs with this concocted feeding schedule Cal/Magic was very light until week 7, and exactly when I started to see rust spots, etc. in this grow. After a 2ml/gal dose of CaliMagic plus addbacks on watering, that issue disappeared overnight. I mean zero issues with any new or progressing growth. Here's the take away with this. Although CalMag issues are easy to spot and resolve, I did learn is that in both runs they HAD A PERSISTANT DROP IN PH IN MY RESERVOIR in late veg/tranistion. Another wards, if you PH is dropping and your ppm are not doing anything, it very well could be a CalMag deficiency. An indication know before the leaves start getting spotted, etc. I guess if one were perceptive enough, you could resolve this issue as it happens, and never see the effect on the leaves? On this current run, as soon as I dosed the bucket good with Cal/Mag and kept my add/backs a 1.5/ml/gal the PH locked in big. Going on 7 days at 600ppm, 6.0 and the ph is steadily rising. Maybe another bump in ppm. No sign of tip burn yet, why the heck not!:) Not really the expected progress this week but she may just need time. I don’t think she’ll really bulk up until the end of week 9 / week 10. New light to arrive Tuesday but not sure a stronger light will get much further down. It’s almost a roadblock to get beyond the main tops and they are getting well more than they can handle light wise. Bigger light may only mean more heat.

I’m pretty sure the leaf issues I’ve been having is from the bonide neem follair spraying. Have not sprayed anymore. No longer having pest issues. Removed the gelato runt as it was not growing at a good rate. Using the space to take clones for keepers I might have.

12. April Eine weitere Woche beginnt und es sind noch Babys. Allerdings hat das gailen aufgehört und sie wirken stabiler. Das growdiary wird um ein weiteres Projekt erweitert: Toleranzpause. Ich habe gemerkt dass mich der Konsum von Cannabis aktuell gerade sehr in meinem Sein aufhält! Daher heute day one: thc wurde durch cbd ersetzt. Ziel ist es bis zum Ende der Ernte nüchtern zu bleiben! Ich werde ehrlich sein falls ich Rückfälle habe. Rückfälle haben ist kein scheitern, aufgeben schon! Update: es ist mittlerweile Abends und so langsam nervt mich diese Entscheidung. CBD schafft gute Abhilfe. Ich weiß das die ersten drei Tage und vor allem Nächte hart sind. 13. April Einen wunderschönen guten Morgen: Erster Tag, erste Nacht rum. Leider nur semierfolgreich. Ich habe den ganzen Tag meine zu erwartende Laune ausgehalten und bin nüchtern geblieben. Schlaf war wie zu erwarten eine große Herausforderung. Um 1:00 morgens habe ich dann etwas frustriert über den Schlafmangel/ bzw. Den Mabgel an Ruhe im Kopf mir 0,1gr Orion in den Vater gepackt und 2x gezogen. Hab mich danach echt schwach gefühlt. Aber das ist Teil des Prozesses und die Optimierung geht weiter. Der Tag wurde daher grob überschlagen nur mit 5% des sonst täglichen Konsums gedeckt. Quote ist gut, allerdings war es nicht das vereinbarte ziel. Indemfall heute auf ein neues
