So let’s start by saying I was Mis sold original bloom with the hydro coco version and me being me expecting what I asked for and as I bought soil 2 bags with it you’d expect to have indefinitely what I asked for but sadly not, I can say it hasn’t caused a problem on my autos and I now have the correct nutrient but the first feed was with it! Results would apparently be not as good as the soil version but I imagine being the first feeds it’s not as important as if it was through 2-4th week of bloom, but again this is the start! Here we grow

Week 3 = The Clown Show. I definitely transplanted too early into 14l pots. I also should have only started two seeds because this tiny tent is crowded now. I kinda freaked out when I saw what looked like nutrient deficiencies (calcium, potassium, I don't know) AND nutrient burn? I was so damn confused. I also realized not ph'ing was a dumb idea and quickly went out and bought a ph meter. I assumed since the tap water here is drinkable and not chlorinated, it's fine. But turns out it all comes from underground aquifers that are made of bedrock and every mineral that increases ph. I'm using lemon juice as my ph-down now and have figured that out pretty well. 1ml of it gets the water down to 6.0-6.3. Anyway, I spent the weekend in YouTube University trying to figure out what mistakes I made. More experienced growers, please feel free to comment with tips. Just don't be an asshole.

Day 1 of flower

Ending week 1 today! I am satisfied with how the girls are growing. Quick summary by days: note: amount of water is on ALL plants, not just 1 13/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) 14/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) 15/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,3L) 16/9 Since I didn't water my soil when I was planting the seeds, I grabbed some more soil, put it on top just to help with stretching, and then I decided to do a full watering just to get the soil wet. I grabbed my pressure pump, put in 1,5L of 6.5PH water, voodoo juice + piranha 2ml/L and watered all 9 of them with 1.5L (misting with the pressure pump - I think I will continue to do the waterings like this because it's so easy!) 17/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) I've seen a fungus gnat, so I put up more yellow sticky traps. 18/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) 19/9 6.5 PH Water Misting (0,2L) Caught 4 fungus gnats for now, I hope the bastards didn't lay their eggs. Keeping the vents on. Temperature this weeks was 24-27, moisture 50-70, average 60. Mimosa #2 a bit yellowish, keeping an eye on her, hope it's nothing serious. Everything else is fine, going into week 2! I still won't give them any NPK, just voodoo + piranha + b52 in week 2. Maybe i put carboload or bud candy just to feed the bacteria and the fungus in piranha and voodoo juice, any thoughts on that? I think I will introduce Micro+Grow+Bloom 0,5ml/L in the third week. Also, there are some white spots on the leaves. I think it could be chlorine? Im watering with tap water, letting it sit for around 12 hours before adjusting PH and watering. Maybe I will let it sit for more this week. See ya in 7 days, if there aren't any more problems meantime haha

Getting taller, getting bushier, very thirsty girls! Feeding nutrients every 2-3 days depending on moisture retention in the soil, follwed by flushing with ph balanced h2o every 2-3 days

Day 50 things are chugging along nicely, buds and tricomes are stacking up, run off is continuing to come out 6.3-6.5, dropped 1 gram of nutrient powder but tips are still bunning will drop 1 more gram, box recommends 5 gram per 5 liter I'm mixing at 5 gram per 9 liters so will drop to 4 gram, kush n cheese are further along so guessing they will finish first

Beautiful plant

These were taken on day 59 I was a little late to put gettin them up. I've been doing some heavy flushes on some of them cuz the run off ppm was a little high. I mixed these with soil so I dont know if that's why it's not coming down as quick as usual but I'll keep poundin these ladies til the finish line

I bumped light up to 80% (PPFD 700-400 on edges). Observation weekend Noticed a bit taco / clawing raised light to 22”. Coconut oil infusion experiment Mini crock pot / warm / 2C coconut oil / 24g of Blueberry cupcake / 6hrs stirring once an hour / strained with cheese cloth

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Una fumada con toque cítricos, una volada de otro mundo (con moderación), cogollos densos.

Super lazy week... noticed some deficiency from only adding water a couple times this week. I’m a few days late in reservoir change. Vegging longer than I want but all good. 😎

25/11 Day 73 already and starting another week (week 4 since I changed the photoperiod); budlets are not completely formed but still look like more of preflowers. She continues to stretch, she's growing 4-5 cm per day, a complete beast. I think she could be stretching more before the aspect of the preflowe/budlets cahnge much. Comparatively with the pictures of other Grinspoon's growers, the flowering stage is going on very slowly...well I thought the same when she was at vegetative stage, I saw everybody's Grinspoon specimen was much bigger and much sooner than the one of mine, but in the end her growth has been so big that I 'd have liked better she hadn't grown that much. She's entirely taken over the grow room! The light spectrum I use does not promote much stretching per se, as I've seen it on many other hybrid strains in the last two and a half years since I have this system. It's a 80cm*80cm*160 cm grow box (Darkbox) and so far I think the environment for the plant is, in general, let's say fine (except perhaps the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter). Humidity is a little high, becuase my place is humid and I don't specailly control it but I'd guess it is roughly 60% HR throughout the year. Being that said, I blame this stretching entirely to her genes and yes, my lack of caution to have prevented all this enormous growth from happening. Really I didn't want to regret later, of not having the size of the plant I wanted and also for not knowing how much she would stretch (I wouldn't have thought this much) I let her grow more than I should have. But one learns from his mistakes and by growing new strains, every strain has different phenos and one never knows which is destined to one's plant. The fertigation solution is now 0.5 mL/L Pro-Silicate; 1,3 mL/L Cal-Max; 0,4 g/L Flower Power Bloom fertilizer at pH 6.1-6.2, EC is 1.35 mS/cm and I raised the fertigation volume to 6L keeping the frequency. Day 74 (26(11) she keeps on stretching, I'm seeing another way to raise the lights the maximum I can, I see the budlets forming more definitely so I don't think she'll be stretching much longer, perhaps and luckily this week she stops doing it. Meantime all I can do is keeping the tallest shoots out of the line of the led lights to prevent bleaching of the leaves or the budlets being burnt. God help me with this. I'll post some pics tomorrow if I have more time. My plants do take more than 60% of my free time at home (but I <3 growing marijuana). Day 75 (27/11) I used a few hooks from the bathtub's curtain to hold the growlights and managed to raise them a precious distance. Day 76 (28/11/2019) i jumped off the bed to assess the sitaution and evertyhing was normal, a big blade burned it tip for proximity to a led light, but the bud tips seem no to be damaged -yet-because of the strong lights/heat. One fertigation (inflow EC 1.35 mS/cm. EC run off 1,5 mS/cm) "en dan ben ik klaar met haar". Day 77 29-11-2019 she keeps growing tall and she's become something almost unmanageable. A couple of shoots have surpassed the lights. If only they won't be burned 🙏 Day 78 (30/11) She seems to be stopping growing. When I saw her I realised extraction fan was gone, fortunately being Saturday I could find a replacement soon. I find that run off pH is 5.3 (collected at the last portion the run-off, 2nd fertigation of the day. Isn't it a little too acidic to leave this issue untreated? Day 79 (01/12) after a reply from @knut at cocoforcannabis.com I am advised not to take in consideration runoff pH but to take care of pH in and EC "in", as for the runoff, just checking EC, because pH varies for the interaction between nutrients and is of zero interest, so I was told. The extractor is working fine and it is a lot more silent than the older one. Last for today, I'd say I'm happy she seems to have completed the stretching phase, although there are a few shoots at scarce centimeters from the ceiling of the box as a consequence. The other shoots are fine, at a reasonably good position from the lights. It was very hard times with these last weeks and the damned stretching. If I had to evaluate the growing difficulty of this strain, I'd say "quite hard" because she's pretty much unmanageable at the stretching phase, unless proper caution measures be taken before it's too late. Day 80 (2/12/2019) To end week 12 (4th week flowering) I see it seems that stretching phase is over so I can breath again. She still may be growing one or two centimeters, that I dunno for sure, but judging from the accelerated rate of stretching I have seen since the last two weeks, it appears that she won't get taller. She's almost tocuhed the ceiling :/ I see a slight swelling of the baby buds, like the calixes that are starting to form.

Good afternoon gromies 😄 😇 😊 Week 9 was absolutely crazy. All my girls start to achieve an about high. NYC diesel is a smallest as she was but developing beautiful small hairy flowers 💐 😍 😇 Have a good night, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 🙏 😉

These ladies are solid and filled with tons of orange hairs. The smell is like no other of citrus and fresh cut wood. One week then I am going to flush her.

Very optimal setup for everything so far. you can really tell the first sprout apart right now because of the second set coming in. Can’t wait to start using nutrients soon!
