Esta tercera semana hemos realizado un pocola técnica LST. Seguimos aprendiendo. Llevan 27 días desde que germinaron, algunas ya empiezan la pre floración. Muy contento con mi primer cultivo. Muchos avances y mucho aprendido

* ********* Week 3, April 25 to May 1, 2020 - Days 15 to 21 from germination ********** * So we have been chugging along and doing well. Keeping the feeds in check and not given any waterings over 6.0pH before this week. By mid week when checking runoff numbers found they were flipping 7.2pH!!!!!! What is shooting up the numbers so high?? They were given some Epsom salt and not sure if they have been given too much magnesium. Wondering if it could be the pots? Watering patterns have not changed? Cut slits in the bottom of all the fabric pots to help with drainage and see if moisture is sitting in the bottom of the pot causing issues with pH??? They are doing well but not at the same time.....GSC girls seem a little show in veg growth at this stage. Little more detail....... April 25/20 - Day 15 - Mixed 1L of water with Vitathrive, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 700ppm and 6.0pH. - each girl given 0.5L feed. - humidity a little low at 52% and bumping up to 65% - light heights at 30” roughly right now. - GSC outer edges of leaves getting a little light. - GSC2 is forming a nice structure and new leaves are wider. April 26/20 - Day 16 - no real growth and the girls don’t look happy.......not sure of the issue? - mixed 2L water with Sensi CalMag @ 1.5ml. Sensyzime @ 2ml, Epsom Salt @ 1/4 tsp/L - GSC fighting magnesium deficiency so adding Epsom Salt, - increased light intensity a bit today. April 27/20 - Day 17 - dry out day - think the root zone is holding too much moisture and causing pH issue. - cut long slits in the bottom of the pots to let moisture run out faster/easier. - GSC has liked the increased lighting. - all the girls got clockwise rotation today. April 28/20 - Day 18 - Girl Scout girls given 3L watering with Vitrathrive @ 1.5ml = 100ppm and 5.1pH - runoff numbers: - GSC - 600ppm and 7.2pH - GSC2 - 475ppm and 7.2pH - pH is still too high!!!! - leaf colours on all the girls look good😳 April 29/20 - Day 19 - more runoff numbers to look at - Mixed 8L for each girl with Dual Fual @ 1.75ml - 325ppm and 5.0pH........each girl given this amount!!!! - Run off numbers: - GSC - in tray before feed was 7.2pH, brought down the pH to 7.0 and 525ppm - GSC2 - in tray before feed was 7.2pH, brought down the pH to 7.0 and 500ppm - now we see if the flush will help in the next couple of days. April 30/20 - Day 20 - dry out day - stems are looking thicker today. All nodes are separating and they are growing.......slowly though. May 1/20 - Day 21 - dry out day again - need to let the pots dry out in order to adjust the pH further. - they are looking taller and happier today. Sorry for running behind gang. Always so much to stay on top of😀........

Quick update on the strains I have growing at the moment. Its a mixture of Photoperiod and Autoflowering strains. For the Photos I have Cream & Cheese CBD (Seedsman), Critical+, DinaMed+ (both DinaFem) and 3 Cherry’s (Elevator Supply Co). For Autos I have NYC Diesel (Barney’s Farm) and 3 BlackBerry’s (FastBuds) This week I’ve seen lots of nice growth overall, but especially with the photoperiod plants. The Critical +, Cream & Cheese CBD, DinaMed+ and Cherry all look great! The Barney’s Farm NYC Diesel Auto is also looking good! The Cherry is starting to look good too and one of the new seeds sprouted. One more Cherry seed left so this time I tried putting the seed in a jiffy pellet then putting the jiffy pellet into the soil. We’ll see if that helps get one more going. The first 2 Blackberry’s are stretching and developing bud sites. These 2 are a bit small, but the purple in number 1 is coming in nicely. I think the 3rd will be the champion of the bunch and outgrow her big sisters. My fault for trying to get a head start by a few weeks on the first 2 in less than ideal conditions. Live and learn. I’m going to keep all plants growing so everyone can see the good, the bad and the ugly. (I bet the ugly still gets me high as fuck!) 😜 New tents coming soon too. Another 2x4 and a 4x8. 👍 Video finally uploaded 😃

This was a complementary seed from True North Bank and I've never had much interest in the Amnesia lines out there until now. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to purchase these seeds but definitely speaks for the quality Canuk can offer and I would consider trying other strains they have to offer too. Yield was great considering the phosphorus deficiency at the beginning/middle of flower. I'm totally lost with Amnesia! Lol Also forgot to add that all my bud gets washed in a H202/distilled water after trimming, before drying. This is why some of the pictures of branches hanging look wet.

If you are lonely when you are alone, then you are in bad company. Bee pollen is considered a “vitamin bomb” due to the presence of almost all vitamins with an average of 0.02–0.7% of its total content, with a higher amount of water-soluble than fat-soluble vitamins. Bee pollen contains vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, and C. It also provides minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, and selenium, I mixed a bunch of that with some honey and RAW cane molasses to make a nice big bucket of tea. A family friend who is a beekeeper was kind enough to share some honey. The nutritional content of raw honey is impressive and includes high levels of protein, amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as various polyphenolic antioxidants. I am loading up nature's finest sugars, and sweet things, Honey & Mollases. UV-B-induced DNA damage (CPDs and 6–4 PPs) can be repaired efficiently by photolyases. Pyrimidine dimers can be repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), or bypassed by replicative polymerases (Britt 2004). The expression of the CPD photolyase (PHR) gene is induced by UV-B light dependent on UVR8 signaling pathway, and is also induced by blue and UV-A light (Li et al. 2015) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s44154-022-00076-9?fromPaywallRec=true Old but gold. The camera picks up far more light than there is during the night cycle, camera is showing bright pink violet collages but my eyes barely see a thing, about 0.25ppfd in that tent overnight. Have been tweaking the spectrum of moonlight/intensity and watching the responses overnight. Tweak, tweak, tweak all week. PAR is 400-700nm, Overnight UVA in the tent is all 365nm and 385nm, so the meter only picks up a fraction of the light curve that makes it photosynthetically active past 400nm. Of the light in the tent, 0.25ppfd is from UVA Looks like It makes them 🕺 🕺 💃 all night. Better flower soon or ill be screwed for space, they are stretching, but is it "the stretch"? She has fire in her belly. Growing crops with insufficient light (i.e., below “optimal,” as defined here) limits the yield potential, which in turn wastes the other production inputs including labour, water, nutrients and electricity. As lighting fixture is one of the most expensive investment of the production, what is the relationship between light intensity and yield? Potter and Duncombe (2012) grew cannabis plants with varying canopy-level PPFDs during the flowering stage and found that increasing PPFD from 400 to 900 μmol·m−2·s−1 increased yield an average of 1.3 times higher, across seven cultivars, with no light intensity treatment effects on floral cannabinoid concentrations. Vanhove et al. (2011) found that cannabis yields were 1.3 to 3.1 times higher (depending on cultivar) when plants were grown under approximately 1000 μmol·m−2·s−1 compared to approximately 450 μmol·m−2·s−1 during the flowering stage.It was predicted that cannabis yield would exhibit a saturating response to increasing Light intensity, thereby signifying an optimum light intensity range for indoor cannabis production. However, a new research from Morrison (2021), after 81 days‘ experiment, found that When plants grew under LI ranging from 1200 to 1800 μmol·m–2·s–1 provided by light emitting diodes (LEDs), inflorescence yield increased linearly as LI increased up to 1800 μmol·m–2·s–1. "Cannabis will not stop flowering if the lights are turned on for a few minutes once or twice during the 2-month-long flowering cycle. If a light is turned on for 5 to 30 minutes—long enough to disrupt the dark period—on 3 to 5 con­secutive nights, plants will start to revert to vegetative growth." "Less than one half of one foot-candle of light (0.1ppfd) from sunlight will prevent cannabis from flow­ering. That is a little more light than is reflected by a full moon on a clear night. Well-bred indica-dominant plants will revert within three days. Sativa-dominant plants take four to five days to revert to vegetative growth. Once they start to revegetate, it can take from four to six ad­ditional weeks to induce flowering again!" Guess ill find out my answer soon.

End of week 3 .

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Ferilization is the same. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: She needs a bit more time to be done like 2 weeks from now.

Just a couple of weeks to harvest ✊✊✊!!! The smell is increasingly hypnotic… The genetics are going perfect!! Thank you Dinafem 😍!!

Day 99. Garden is flying. Nothing else to mention now, you can easy spot - they bulk up ! Heavy feed in the morning, then 2 more cycles of feed/pure_water left till flush for Gorillas, all others at least a week behind. Hate to split waterings and feed, but even lazy person sometimes is forced to ... ;)) Happy growing ! Day 100. Disaster in Garden !!!! Had enough of RQS Royal Cookies. Two of them went Hermie. So current stats : 5 out 5 are mutated 2 out 5 currently Hermie 5 out of 5 overfed without any food even Because of that shitty genetics, had to make Control Garden. Even Cookie from CG which is in green house still grow mutated and leaves are on max healthy green side. Had no nutes for last 30 days, still haven't returned to normal ... So two girls chopped, hope they didn't pollinate all garden... In photos you can find bananas... Those air pots works really great, all space is used and roots are really nice. Just i think i will go to 30 liters next time. Have fabrics, but my doubts of those air pots are gone. Bad day for sure. 15 weeks, 50 pounds for seeds, 30 for soil, 50 for nutes. Thats my bill without electrics ..... #RQS is crap !!!!! James from them just asked where i bought the seeds, never had balls to replay back ... Ironic theirs girls has BALLS and it makes me angry ... Day 101. Damage is done, i see many seeds growing, it took me unprepared .... I dont sell weed, but to check every bud before grind is lame for me ... F@%k you RQS. Never again, despite having like 10 more theirs beans of 4 dif strains .... to the bin now !!!! Day 102. Girls are nice, but i see seeds forming and it makes me sad. Doubt it will be many updates till review. Happy Growing !!!!

Vứt nó ngoài trời vậy k biết baoh ra hoa. Tưới nước kệ cụ nó thôi :)) Cuối ngày 15/09 lst. Làm compost tea để mai tưới. Phun lá vitazyme + rong biển theo định kì tuần 1 lần. Tỉ lệ 1,5ml vitazyme+ 0,5 rong biển 17/09: đêm nay sẽ mưa và tôi quyết định sẽ lên thăm cây 1 chút, sau khi tưới compost hồi sáng thì mọi thứ vẫn ổn. Tôi dùng 1,5 nắp rỉ mật cho 8l nước, 1 chút phân trùn quế và vi sinh vật chứa: tricho và bacilus. Sục khí chỉ trong 14-16h khiến tôi quan ngại về vấn đề cháy lá nhưng không, chúng vẫn ổn và có vẻ đang phát triển tốt hơn bao giờ hết. :D 18/09: sau 1 đêm mưa gió sáng hôm sau trời nắng đẹp, tôi quyết định sẽ uốn chúng xuống thêm chút nữa và chúng hồi phục hẳn vào ngày hôm sau. 19/09: do thấy chúng hồi nhanh nên tôi đấm nốt cây bị lưỡng bên cạnh cho hồi 1 thể :)) 21/09: tỉa lá quạt của cây cái và uốn lại cây lưỡng tính. Từ hôm nay trở đi tôi sẽ xịt nhện đỏ bằng nước trắng rửa lá cây vào mỗi buổi chiều. Hết tuần

Day 58 : Performed what might be the last big LST session, to make the plant flat as much as possible. The last one, because I'll start flowering on next week 😁 So I believe that all next LST session will just be to keep everything a the same eight, but I will not force the plant to be flat anymore. I was also supposed to apply black soap for the last time today, and continue with water for one or two weeks. But i saw one thrip, so I may continue for one week, and apply only water later. But the plant isn't showing any signs of bugs bites, so they are under control I believe. I also got one bottle of biobizz leaf coat, that I'll apply later ;) Damn.. I'm so excited to start the flowering :D She look verry great right now, I'm verry confident with this plant :) Taking care of it is a pleasure, even if it take me one hour to apply LST 😆 Day 60 : Watering and feeding plant, and applied black soap for thrips. Day 61 : Did some Defoliation : Removed dying leaves not receiving light. Day 62 : Spray water + Fishmix (1.6ml/L). This is going to feed the plant by the leaves, and also clean leaves from any thrips. Haven't seen any thrips since like 3 days... But you know how they are ;)

Flowering is now obvious. We are in first week of july, so hopefully I will get very nice buds in september already!😛I really like this express plant!

Hola jardineros Ya queda muy poco para poder cortar a las preciosas plantas Que ganas de catarlas Ya está la limpieza de raíces lista y solo queda esperar una semanita más

Cette semaine été décisifs, les pompons se développe bien et givré. La suite au prochain épisode growers.

10/16: A lot of stretching happening this week. I had to move the light up 3 times and even then the main cola of #1 grew into the light and got a little heat burn on the leaves. They are starting to build flowers. This will be a fun week as i should start seeing some purple in the flowers and leaves if I have one of the phenos that has the really deep purple. I did successfully clone all 4 plants, but ended ip with a powdery mildew issue in the propagator and so i may just throw the clones out as all of their rock wool cubes have some on it and i am not sure how to clear it up before putting them in soil. Will probably post a question about that. These ladies had a defoliation a week ago and clearly already need another. I over vegged for sure. I am not sure i am going to defoliate this week, and will probably just let them grow unbothered. Im hoping yo only have to defol one more time and so hoping to wait until they have finished their transition.

overall was great to grow and for it being my second grow I'm so glad how well it turned out some of the frostiest buds I've seen or smoked.

Going good, not giving away to much as had a problem with fastbuds customer service so won't be going into much detail as I don't want to promote there seeds. I have one purple lemonade left and won't be using them again, sad really as it would have cost them a free seed replacement to keep me as a customer. Shame. Please check out my other diaries, feel free to comment and leave a like, maybe even a follow. Stay high, stay fly. #420everyday

They got the chop this week; they turned out to be the tallest I've grown in a while! I didn't weigh out the bags in the fridge but I'd have to say there's at least 2 zones in each bag, so I can't complain about yield 🤘 The terps are sweet, skunky, and a smooth citrus, though I'm not sure what they'll be like after the ~30 day cure... I'm hoping it gets sweeter 🤞 - Thank You for checking out my diary!
