Weekly update: August 6th Looking great, major spurt of growth on both girls, #1 (sativa leaning girl) had major final stretch to end off stretch in 3 days (hopefully). And #2 (stockier indica leaning pheno) has had a big increase in flower size in 3 days which is promising, and is also producing a very sweet and tropical fruity gas smell, this is TCP after all! Oh yea and I’m running about 1700 center 500 outer ppfd and tapering down if I see anything but nothing so far all good nice genetics, may drop in the next week even if no signs or symptoms, to prevent and not be too greedy. Now for the not so good… been getting 10% runoff almost every feed, but my runoff of #1 was 3500ppm and pH 4.5 and #2 at 5000ppm and pH 4.5. Been giving around 850 ppm input at pH 6.0, never went over 1000ppm input. So I have to correct with 25% increase in feed volume, 300-400ppm input at pH 7.0 for what I infer to be 2-3 feeds until runoff ppm is significantly lower, and pH is at least 5.5. UPDATE Aug 8: To address the toxic/locked-out root-zone I did a regular feed with runoff (1.5 gal total volume per pot @ 820ppm bloom focus), runoff consisted of pH 4.2-4.5 and 4000-6000ppm... OUCH. I then fertigated with 0.5 gal plain pH 6.5-7 dechlorinated tap water each. I repeated this a total of 3 times, to which the last flush had 3 ml/gal cal-mag. final runoff ppm @ 1000-2000, pH 5.3-5.5. To conclude, I more than likely wasn't achieving enough runoff per scheduled feed, and did not cycle a few plain pH adjusted waterings. I had almost the same thing happen last run with autos, except they were showing signs of lockout, these photo girls are not. I must do a regular watering every 3 feeds, achieve 20% runoff with high ppm feeds, and 15% runoff at least with mild to moderate ppm's. Lesson learned, I hope I get a full run in the future without hiccups like this. UPDATE Aug 9: Big thanks to @00110001001001111O for suggesting i omit the light hanger and hang from the carabiner, I thought I was out of vertical space until this was pointed out.

Had some problems this week with my water table ph dropped from 5.8 to 5.1 and the plants showed it. I got the ph balanced back to 5.8 and given some advanced nuts cal mag. Not sure if it’s something to do with the canna. I m new too it so don’t know but after sorting the ph and giving some calmag extra the plants seem happier and are growing fine and leaf damage has frozen were it was.

Girls are really starting to explode in height this week. Went with a 1-4-4-7 nutrient schedule and the plants seem to be taking it well. Been struggling with my VIVOSUN controller failing to read humidity and temp values from the external probe so at times humidity is getting super high, but I don’t think it will be a major issue as the dehumidifier seems to work well until it gets full but if I’m at work then I’m kinda screwed until I get home.

All but two of the clones rooted. 4 of the best ones from "Sundance" (she is the best pheno type of the three) will get indoor grown again and the rest go to an outdoor greenhouse.

03/15/2021 Reppoting of GSC done I used Bonide(4-10-3) Root&Grow with iba! to lessen shock of transplant and heavy defoliating. Flipping to 12-12 today (the first clones will be for outdoors) made before and after videos of defoliation, and reppot. Blue Dream is cruising along nicely with a little LST bending of branches & stems,so all in all not a bad week..

defoliation to expose bu d sights on left side plant at 7 weeks. leaves were and are not looking super healthy, seem to be drooping which can be over water most likely but i also noticed they start to droop same way when lights are too low so raised lights 3 inches and put material under right side 2 weeks younger plant to meet hight of other one. now letting it dry out for a couple days but bottom line, must keep plants healthy and must be patient for up to 11 weeks on bud developement as it tends to be slower than most auto flowers for critical purple. you can pull a bit off when its close to done and dry it out if you are a fiend or patiently wait this out and pray for big dense buds.

TDS meter went bad so my reads are off (low), but until I replace it... Starting LST today, unfortunately the main topped branchs on Gelato #2 split down the middle, I have taped up hopefully to heal. All plants have been topped twice hope to flip in a couple weeks.

Aug 2: Mimosa Shot is hitting her stride now. She didn’t like the cooler temperatures as much as Sunday Punch EV, for example, but she’s loving this hot start to August. Aug 3: done with force flowering and will now just leave her in the yard. So, back up to 15.5 h of daylight here now. Still using far red light at dusk. Aug 6: Mimosa Shot has stretched again, likely mostly due to 3 days of hot weather.

12/25/2023-Germination Day 1 Merry X-mas 2023 I decided to start a run of SolFIre Gardens Hoodz Candyz S1. I am going to do a cup filled with RO water a touch of Hydrogen peroxide and let it sit for 24-48 hours until I see tap root then I am going to put it into a rapid rooter.. Tap root Down and put it about 1/4 of the say down the Rapid rooter. I made some modifications to my basket on this run.. I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/5/2024- Germination Day 11 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I am going to change the water Sunday and kick off Week 1, I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 12 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. I will just continue to top feed until roots are in the water.. Shouldn't be more than a few more days. 1/6/2024- Germination Day 13 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/7/2024- Germination Day 14 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

This was fun pretty interesting keeping track of a plant online little hard with multiple Diaries so I will reduce it down to maybe one strain a month on here but overall fun.😉

9/10: Coming along nicely...the big Amnesiac is the biggest seedling in the garden. 9/11: I waited to long to transplant them and they have root problems to some degree or another...too wet for too long. I transplanted all but the smaller Amnesiac and Lemon Cream Kush into 3 gallon pots, and those two went into 2.30 gallon pots. About 50% brownish roots on all but the smaller ones. 😕 I powdered the planting holes with myco, tricho, and other goodness. I added two Mars Hydro 150w lights, and a 60w 6500k LED panel light since they are all spread out now. The average CCT is still a little over 4800k, even though the Mars are a little warmer color temp than the Viparspectras. 9/12: Between the root problems and the transplant, they looked horrible, so I sprayed them with BoomBoom Spray today and will do a good root drench tomorrow with BushDoctor Boomerang. They looked better by the end of day, but still have a ways to go to get back on track. 9/17: I fed them boomerang only twice this week, and also fed them kangaroots yesterday. They are all looking strong, and branching well. The big Amnesiac is impressive. Great structure and amazing vigor. The LCK is finally starting to look like she belongs in the same crop. I'll prolly flip to 13/11 with emerson effect in the next couple of days.

Week 1: All the seeds popped within 4-5 days. Everything is looking good and they are all happy. I moved them into the 2x4 tent with a Mars 300 led. I’ve sprayed daily with plain water with a couple drops of voodoo juice. They are all starting on their first set of leaves. Nothing much going on at this moment. Happy Growing 🌱

Fabric pot plants lagged a bit. Thursday’s flush fixed runoff to 1.1 EC / 700 PPM. LST and leaf trimming kept things tidy. Temps (24–27°C day, 23–26°C night), humidity (60–68%), VPD (1.1–1.2) were solid. Lights climbed to 55% @ 30cm (480–490 PPFD), CO₂ 550–700 ppm. 😎 Lessons: → Nutrient Overload: High runoff means cut back on feed strength for autos. Go lighter next time! → Flush Fast: Thursday’s flush saved the day. Act quick when EC spikes. 🚿 → LST FTW: Gentle LST helped growth—keep it up for even canopies. 🌱 → Fabric Pot Lag: Fabric pots dry faster, monitor closer to match plastic pots’ pace. 👀 Takeaway: Overfeeding glitch fixed with a flush. Stay vigilant with nutrients and keep LST going! 🚀😉

we are going to harvest Day 64 - 500 ml water + 1 ml Flawless finish Light 16/8 Day 65 - rest of water Light 14/10 Day 66 - 500 ml water + 1 ml Flawless finish Light 12/12 Day 67 - rest of water Light 12/12 Day 68 - 500 ml water + 1 ml Flawless finish Light 12/12 day 69-71 Turn off lights to make a night time for a 3 days. And put some ice cubes on soil, to imitate frost and boost flowering processes at the end will see final result in few days Harvest on 72 day I don't have scales for measuring wet weight, in my feelings it was near 300-400 g with stems and buds
