******************************************** Growdiaries Grow 22 ******************************************** Welcome to my 22nd grow on growdiaries. I'm going to be stricter on this grow as i have been a bit lax on the last few and let them get out of control. My plan is no more then 12 colas between the 2 plants. I'm going to have a shorter veg period to keep them at a reasonable height. I'm also going to try to keep them away from the sides of the tent more then I normally do. Because I may be going away shortly I'm going to start in the final pot because sods law I'll be away when they need potting up. I'm running 2 photoperiods again, they are both from the MSNL catalogue. Plant #1 Lemon cherry gelato will be on the left looking in the tent and #2 Zoap will be on the right. This diary is focusing on #2 Zoap Nutrients. Ecothrive Neutralise Shogun Katana roots Plagron Terra grow (3-1-2) Plagron Terra Bloom (2-2-4) Plagron green sensation (0-9-10) Plagron power buds (0-0-0) Equipment on Smart plugs. 1. Light= Viparspectra Xs2000 2. Feed= water pump. 3. Extractor= Ac infinity 4. Oscillating fans= 2 on ext. 5. Cameras= 2 on ext. 6. Humidifier= ram 5L 7. Dehumidifier= 2L 8. Radiator= 1KW Tent settings. Light cycle=24/0 Light Power=100W (42%) Photone app has been Calibrated, and I have done a ppfd map over a 40cmร—40cm area. Extractor controller settings High temp= 26c Low temp= c Temp step=0c High Rh= 69% Low Rh= % Rh step=0% Speed max=10 Speed min=1 Smart controller settings (during lights on). Radiator on= -20c Radiator off= +21c ******************************************** Germination/Prepwork. ******************************************** ๐Ÿ“…1/10/24 Tuesday ๐Ÿ“‹ Prepared 12L fabric pots, filled with biobizz lightmix, then gave 2L water Ec=0.25 PH=7.0/6.7. Then 1L water with katana roots @5ml/L Ec=0.3 PH=6.3/6.3 No runoff. Placed pot into tent with no light on. ๐Ÿ“…2/10/24 Wednesday ๐Ÿ“‹ Dropped the seed into 40ml of water with 5ml/L katana roots and 0.1ml/L neutralise solution at 5.05pm 5.00pm turned light on @ 100w 80cm above the soil, Ppfd=200, 24hr DLI=17.3 10.00pm placed seed into moist paper towel. ๐Ÿ“…3/10/24 Thursday ๐Ÿ“‹ 7.30pm tap root breaking through so put the seed into 12L fabric pot, and placed in the tent under constant light. ๐Ÿ“…4/10/24 Friday ๐Ÿ“‹ 9.00pm no movement yet. ๐Ÿ“…5/10/24 Saturday ๐Ÿ“‹ ๐ŸŒฑ9.00pm above ground and cotyledons are open.

Day 28 from cutting they are EATING GOOD! I feel they were a bit hungry but are so happy now. They are reaching for the sky! Watered on Dec 14 with a ppm of around 900 of 6ml /gal A+B 6 ml FS 2ML golden tree. I'm seeing some signs of a few things that I have pretty much eliminated down to either a nutrient deficiency or a need to transplant either way this weekend I'm going to do it and we will see what the results are!

This week they'll start growing pistils I hope :p The peyote criticals already started showing pistils, but the Ayahuascas are waiting a few more days I guess. The smell is better and better each morning when I open the tent :p day37: extremely bushy ladies :'D day38: light defoliation, I took around 10 leaves total day 38-39: first preflowers and pistils starting to show up! resin production also started Any advice?:) thx for reading!

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage Unknown strain, hopefully its a female Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100 Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant? Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

26.1.25: I have had a mistake ๐Ÿ˜• i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh ๐Ÿ˜ฃ However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- โ™ก 3ml Seachem Seaweed โ™ก 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix โ™ก 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow โ™ก 3ml Biobizz Bloom โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag โ™ก .25g Ecothrive Biosys. โ™ก 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying ๐Ÿ˜‘ I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon ๐Ÿ‰ by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up ๐Ÿ˜ฃ I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying ๐Ÿ˜‘ so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator ๐Ÿ˜• things are not going very well this week so far ๐Ÿ˜… I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest ๐Ÿ˜… 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic ๐Ÿ˜… but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

This is my second growth in a suitcase, I got 30 grams of dry flowers from the first growth, but this growth together with FastBuds is obviously much better than the first one :) although the girl's leaves burn from the light, which is only 10-15 cm from the flowers, but the girl copes with it perfectly :) good luck to everyone.

Hello. This is the end of week 11 and the beginning of week 12 of veg. The plants are filling out their spaces out nicely. I keep pushing down the branches, under the rungs and spreading them out. Still got a few weeks till I'm going to force flowering by closing up the tent at 8 pm and opening it at 8 am. The plant has a tangy smell to it when I work with it. OK. Keep Growing Straight.

Welcome to my ๐Ÿ‹ ๐ŸŒณ diary. This is for the tiny/rare pot seedsman contest. I have a .75ml cannacure bottle. Have a drainage hole at the end. And have it filled with light mix. Also, as I know its gonna be hard for the plant roots to breath I added my air pump I use for both my DWC buckets. I just made a hole and pushed the tube through a tight hole I made. So, o2/co2 will go straight into this mini little rare pot. Seed has been planted into the sub. I added a bit of dry soil in on top of the wet bioenhanced soil in the spray bottle. The root will then grow into the conditioned soil, I used bioenhancer from Green House feeding and I'll be using their mineral line as I said. I poured about 75-100ml of a 1g/1L of tap water. Didn't check ph as I know its 9.3. Maybe because it's light mix soil I should have PH'ed it. But it'll be fine. It'll take a few days before the root grows into it. And by that stage there'll be no shock to the young plant as it'll be somewhat stable. 3-5 days in. I'll start on a 2-300ppm feed including tap (that's 110ppm) so specs of grow powder will be used at the start to bring my ppm water up a little and as its light mix. She'll be begging for food come day 5, so if she goes off with a bang then I'll apply nutrients 3 days after she's up. Sadly she'll up going under a p1000 at full strength. But I'll have it in the corner and it'll be 100+cm away and I checked the lux and it's in the mid 10k-15k range so that's fine for a seedling. The temperature is perfect at 24/25c and with lights off 21.5-22.5. RH won't be up beyond 55 with lights on and 65 with lights off. As this is been added to 15 other grows. As None are in small pots. And I think this is somewhat rare. It has an injection of o2/co2 into a tight container on the lowest and middle level. Its pushed into the middle. (I made sure to make the push in with a stick 1st so the tube didn't block with soil) and when its turned on and you block the hole it expands. So airflow through the soil is very gentle but it flows great. I'm looking forward to this 1. OCT/11TH Seedling Days 0-2. Took a little bit of an unwanted stretch. As its 100cm away from the light. It should of been closer. But, its doing well. There's no mutations or burnt looking tips so, only up from here. Seedling Days 3-4 Good growth this week. Idk if its cause the way the roots are growing and don't have much to expand. And she's stretching a little. I decided to jump the gun a little earlier than I planned. So, I gave a very very light grow feed 250ppm (that's including 110ppm tap)Id like her to me at least 1/3 smaller (stem wise). I checked the lux and even though its nearly 100cm away. There should still be enough light so she should be trying to reach for it. Idk. I just can't move her closer as the light is doing 8 autos 4 every 24hrs and she also gets a 4hr rest by taking her out and into dark space. As I keep my 70cm2 tent running 24/7 as I wap out autos in it. So they get a 36-12 (24hrs under p1000) then when I turn on my FC 3000 they get put into it for 12 hrs, and I take the other autos coming off the 12hr rest the 100cm2 has. (Confusing I know) only way I can juggle so many plants that are different (autos&fems) and try make it work. And it is. I'll update this week as soon as she's up out the ground. Seedling Days 5-7 Plant is on course. But, I have a bad feeling. As my poxy AC intake failed to kick in when Temp went up to 30c and ran for that for 12hrs without venting. And I had the Air pumps turned on. So, she was getting 28-30c air blown into little bottle. So, sadly. I had to flush her with A h202 mix. GRRRRR. I know it was too long of high temp been pumped into it. That's gonna f..k it. Fingers, toes and nose hairs crossed I'm wrong. But I know this lady does not like hot conditions in small spaces. Let's see. Maybe it could be the injection of the air pump maybe it's too early. I had to turn it off today anyways. Room temp was coming into 23c by so had to go off. But, hey if this is a by product of quick growth. Then I'll all for it. Let's roll onwards. Seedling Day 5. Had to put a bit of tube in so I could tie the stem. Is it me or has she got even taller. I personally think..she's growing much faster than a normal fem. But it's early days and won't know true results till I reach day(s) 14-21. Then I'll get the measure of her. Air pump has been turned back on. As room temp is back down to 21c. So, its safe to be used. Shout out to my sponsor from barneysfarm who hooked me up with great beans. Much appreciated.

Flushed with PH'd water (4.5L) to bring EC run off from 2.2 down to 1.9. Time for another retuck! This should be the last veg mix before transfering Cindy to the flower tent ๐Ÿ˜Ž UPDATE: Timelapse added for this week.

Humidity was freaking high for a while in my area and I'm struggling with RH in the tent, I didn't want the big dehumidifier to work 24/7 but this led to appearance of mold on a tiny side cola. Lesson learned. I did cut everything above the cola and made sure the rest was OK. Continuous surveillance until harvest, that should happen in a few days. Trichomes are almost all milky and her smell is telling me she's ready ๐Ÿ˜Ž
