Losing headroom

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

7.14.25. Finally harvested this plant! Quality of buds look pretty good even though I diminished the harvested big time by stunting her in vegetative stage and she never recovered! Wet weight of buds was only 25.7 grams. Definitely will be ordering this strain again and correct what went wrong on this grow. Thank you for looking at grow I appreciate it! Will be back in 1-2 months with new grow!

Took video of them this week you can really see some of the fan leaves getting real dark which I love!!! I did start a second journal of this exact same strain but I’m gonna try and get the optimal environment for that so make sure to be on the look out for that. They’re getting dense even tho they’re under a crappy light. This weeks EC is .8 then we flush for the next 7-10 days. Thank you all again for watching.

Wie man auf dem Video sehen kann ist so langsam der Herbst eingekehrt und die Blätter beginnen ganz natürlich zu welken. Jetzt freue ich mich noch auf zwei Dinge, zum einen die Ernte und zum anderen die neue Upgrades für mein Set-Up einzubauen und den nächsten Run zu beginnen, mit Pflanzen die ich von der Pike auf gezogen habe und nicht einen Run mit dreibeinigen Hunden zu fahren.

Moved out the more sativa type plants (lemon orange) So now they have more space and a drain system to make things easier for me. Still in 5L pots .

Very happy with results

Plants in the main tent are coming along well since correcting the light intensity and run-off ppm, the one on the left is filling out now, so is the one in the middle just much slower. Not sure if I will let that one cook longer or just pull it with the rest... will see how she looks in a week. The plant on the right I spread out to take up almost half of the tent (I didn't want the spindler taking up unnecessary space) - her nugs are real nice - some foxtails and bleaching on the taller ones but for the most part looking good. Plant on the left has filled out a lot more despite its weirder more "wiry" bud structure - does't look as nice as the good plants but definitely better than the spindly plant in the middle. Big Mumma is still killing it - wondering if its getting close to flush time for her as it looks like some of her tricomes are starting to brown...

Hi Growmies~! What This Post is About Today, I'll be recording how to cultivate soil microbes at home. These microbes offer numerous benefits, and they are simple to make. How I Came Up with This Technique Since 2014, I’ve tried synthetic growing methods like DWC. While they gave quick results, I often ran into issues with consistency. Nutrients would expire during breaks, meaning I had to keep buying new bottles. I strongly felt I needed a change. A couple of years ago, after taking a break, I started to research and switched to organic growing. At first, it felt overwhelming with all the steps and prep work, but I saw real potential. After experimenting with different methods, I came across Korean Natural Farming (KNF) and JADAM, introduced by Mr. Cho. His simple, ultra low-cost techniques inspired me. They focus on letting nature do the work. While growing, I noticed that synthetic nutrient bottles were expensive, especially when trying to complete a full nutrient set. Organic growing may require more attention and can be costly when investing in organic materials. Preparing the soil in advance and top dressing with dry nutrients every other week - just these two methods were consuming space, time, and money. Indoor farming is unnatural, while organic farming is a natural approach. I had to bring these ideas together, but organic farming often seems geared toward large plots like farms. Incorporating organic techniques into my indoor garden requires a lot of effort and careful calculations. So this is one of my techniques for keeping my plants happy: supporting their daily needs helps them snap out of deficiencies quickly, allowing them to grow consistently. It took me a while to adapt this technique for indoor use. I hope this helps, guys! Supplies Needed - Potatoes: Provide nutrients and food for the microbes. - Sea Salt: Stimulates microbial activity and controls harmful organisms. - Dechlorinated Water: Allows the microbes to grow and multiply. - Compost, leaf mold, or worm castings: Contains natural microorganisms that are key for this process. How to Make (1 gallon) 1 cooked potato (about 2 golf ball-sized) 1 pinch of sea salt 2 tablespoons compost or worm castings 1 gallon dechlorinated water 1. Mix Ingredients: In a clean container, fill it with the dechlorinated water, dissolve the sea salt, and add the compost along with the mashed potato. 2. Ferment: Optionally cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours. 3. Strain (Optional): After fermentation, you can strain the solution if you prefer a clearer liquid. Note: Watch the timelapse video to see how the microbes activate! **WARNING** Wear gloves if possible and/or avoid contact with open wounds How to Use IMPORTANT: Always dilute the solution before applying it to plants. - Use when bubbles form a "pizza shape" on the surface. - Dilute 5-10 ml per liter of water for bi-weekly feeding. (Test a small batch first to find the best rate for your setup.) - Once the bubbles disappear, the microbes are likely inactive. You can either mix the rest with water as fertilizer or discard it. Pros Promotes Plant Growth - Usually fixes deficiencies in as little as 6 to 72 hours. - Improves nutrient absorption, and helps plants thrive. Boosts Plant Immunity - Works as IPM: Can be used as foliar sprays (no staining on leaves). - Lowers the risk of powdery mildew and other diseases. - Helps the soil ecosystem with beneficial organisms like predatory mites and springtails. - Naturally reduces pest pressure (Less risk of fungus gnats and other pests). Improves Soil Health & Supports Composting - Quickly breaks down organic matter and nutrients. - Makes growing organically in small containers, like 1-gallon pots, easy. - Over time, soil becomes softer and richer, even in small pots. Cost-Effective, Sustainable & Eco-Friendly - No need for complex equipment like pH pens, air pumps, or other tools. - Reduces the need for CalMag, N-P-K, or micronutrient supplements (just add a little bit of sea salt to every watering). - No sugar sources needed in the soil. - Works for all types of plants—houseplants, exotics, ornamentals, and crops. Cons - Limited shelf life; the solution will develop an unpleasant odor after a certain period. 1 Corinthians 10:26

I took David Robinson's tip a little late " dont grow small flowers" So I took anything that was taking away from the main coals. Of that works out in my favour I will have to find out !! There is a large story behind there fine ladies . But for now let's just say f*ck cancer.

This girl continued to fade out but at the end of the week the trichomes were barely cloudy. Peace! I finally defoliated a bunch of the dead leaves. Oh, and I finally pulled out the tape measure. She's 44" tall. Google it if you need a metric conversion...

Sad that only one of tree seeds only got so big and strong, love how she build up her buds without lst or topping We will see if she is realy super 👀

11/6 Monday I gave them each a gallon of water today late bloom supplements, and the bloom tastic I’m gonna put the other ones in the flower soon so these I’m gonna keep going. The Tricom are all mostly clear so I like to go a little longer. We’ll see how much I can get out of these. The other clones going are doing really well train those today. I have three more clones. I’ll be putting into flower today. 11/7 I turned the light on the light flowering ones from 1:20 to 111. I’m trying to get the temperatures a little lower than the extra light isn’t gonna help. I just have trouble keeping the room cool. I’ll put the other three clones into flower this week and then I have three additional clones from those clones I’m going to put into flower next month, I love taking cuttings and doing that. I’m lucky that I did it because I killed all of my seeds early this year. It’s nice to have back up plants. Afternoon. I ended up having to give them another gallon of water split between the two of them. I did very light supplements cause I just did it, but she was completely dry and they needed all that I was kind of surprised. 11/8 Wednesday she’s been pretty uneventful since watering yesterday. I’m just trying to get her colas nice and big I have three others that are ready to go into flower. I still haven’t taken care of space panda. I just can’t manage more than four or five plants at once so these two are going to nice I’ve already smoked some of it and it’s great and it’s not even cured the buds are really dense that new nutrient really made a big difference I want to go at least as big as I can with the colas. I don’t grow for the trichome color I just do it as long as I can to see how much I can get 11/9 I did some unexpected trimming. I got an ounce and a half wet and there’s stems in there so it’ll probably I don’t know little less than a half. It’s pretty dense. Turned a wattage on the light down from 118 to 103 about 100 is all she need from here on now since I did a lot of trimming today 11/10 trimming the leaves and some buds off and lowering the lights has helped a lot she’s starting to really thicken up on the top. They’re very dense and getting more dense. They seem to be taking up water really well so these last three weeks should see some pretty significant growth. They’re looking great, I have three more to turn to flower and then three more in veg I’m gonna have blackjack growing for a long time. I started this plant back in March and I’ve been able to keep it going and get eight plants from it so from one plant made up for all the other plants and seeds that died that I lost . 11/10 pm I set the timer on the other three clones to 1212 so they will start flowering so I’ll have flowers from these in two months. I’m gonna trim up all the small branches on this one. Maybe I can fit more in there 11/11 I watered them two days in a row earlier in the week so they were still pretty dry today. Not a lot of water uptake the other clones. I just flipped to 1212 I’ll probably start a new diary just with those cause this one’s too hard to do with a different clones in different phases 11/12 Sunday she was very thirsty. I gave them each a gallon of water with all the nutrients and supplements. Keep the light at 100 W and she’s good.

✌️🏻Coming on good glad to have the space now

Gave the ladies their first dose of nutrients. I made sure they were very diluted. they loved it. When I came to check on them, they were all praying. Yay.

I love growing and i love the GD community, we are like a big canna family and its a pleasure and an honor to be part of this all. Thank you all for being here , for growing and believing in this beautiful healing plant . Growers love to you all

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart. I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC. I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will! First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate. ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants. I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer. Updates will be coming throughout the week!
