The plants have officially started flowering and are looking strong and healthy! 🌸 Unfortunately, I ran into a nutrient lockout in the soil, so I flushed each pot with about 20L of pH-adjusted tap water. This brought the runoff PPM down from around 2000 to about 900. For this next watering, I’ll be giving only plain water and checking the runoff again. Based on the readings, I’ll decide whether to resume nutrients on the following watering—and if so, whether to start with a half dose or go back to a full dose. So far, the plants seem to be handling everything perfectly, and I’m excited to see how they develop through bloom. 🌱💪

These ladies are growing great. After being transplanted last week they've definitely doubled in size. I did some defoliation today taking off the first set of branches and fan leaves that were at the soil level. All in all Happy Growing.

DAY 29: Wooohoo, it is that exciting time when we notice more of the little white hairs poking up around the bracts and the tips take on a bursting opening of growth appearance. The main 2 in flower are the Northern lights #1 and Grandaddys mimosa. Both have started to stretch and will benefit from the planned l.s.t to keep them in their best light . Northern lights has taken a very healthy S-bend in her stem as she wanted to go tall from the beginning. Her growth rate has been excellent under the light and I can see her stretching will certainly have me pushing the lights footprint limits. Grandaddys mimosa has also added a nice bit of height at around 12 inches now. A good start for stretching too. She has space and I have been removing the larfy lower growth from rhem all to not waste energy. She is a little more advanced in flower then the northern light but very close. Both of the Gorilla cookies are starting to join the party now and look like they are still in veg and pushing tips up for flowering but no signs of bract hairs yet so they will hopefully match the size of the other 2 soon enough. They are a bushier appearance than the other 2 strains so I will have to make sure they dont get overgrown by their canopies after the stretch periods. The mutant Northern lights has still remained small and hopeful but I wont be holding out too.much hope on her. I contacted Fast buds and used their after sales service to discuss the failed seeds. They were excellent and only needed a few details of purchase and a couple of pics with some info on what happened and they have now replaced the 3 that I lost. Well done for keeping true to your word @fastbuds . THE LIGHT What can I say about this amazing piece of tech. A small unit, solidly made and delivering a punch way better than I honestly expected. I thought it was going to be ok to sprout them and bring them up together then remove most of them to grow with my other lights while I flowered a single plant under it. Seeing how bloody capable it is , has thrown that plan out of the window altogether...... I plan now to grow all 4 main plants to harvest and really push the limits of this sunshine in a shade. For 150w of power , it is having no problems providing plenty of par for all of the girls to max their photosynthesis needs. All of them are in homemade super soil and the lights are their main input from my end so something is keeping them very happy indeed. In a box or cupboard , this light could work wonders on a single plant or couple of trained but I feel this would be hiding a lot of potential and underestimating its abilities. A very happy grow here . Let's see how it progresses. Nice work Viparspectra. Until next time. Be safe and well.

Making first attempt at a amnesia hase auto from fast buds. Made a short video explaining the method I been using for germination and first week. Had great success with this method. Just everything after is the journey. Thanks again fast buds and supporters. Day 6, not sure why it kept data from last week. But did not want to disturb it.

Autos are just starting to flower the photos are dying for some bigger pots. I've been trying to bring up the overall plant health in general since moving everything to a basement the temps are a little lower than ideal. I had a space heater delivered today and monitored the temps but they only went up to around 78°f I want it to be atleast 82°f ideally 85. The heater uses 1500 watt and only increased it about 2 or 3°. I dont think it's worth the extra cost for such little boost. I'm thinking about returning the heater and throwing a 1000w hps in one of the other tents and see if that will raise it anymore. Especially with LED and co2 higher temps would be very beneficial in veg and early flower but the room is so big its gunna be tough to pull off without killing me on electric costs. Any suggestions are welcome. I know this room does decent in flower but I havnt done much veg work down here and I'll have some autos growing this round so it's important I get it up.

I started in with the maximum ppm of about 1500 on a fresh reservoir and a ph of 6.1. I also went full strength with beastie blooms 0-50-30 at 1 tablespoon for 6 gallons of water. The white hairs are turning orange now which is the sign of times to BULK UP! My diary seems to be a little off on this 45-55 day flower as today we mark day 37 of 12-12.

Gorilla Cookies are doing great, they are stacking very nicely. I am liking the nose spacing on these girls so far. Introduced some more of the Bonnie nutrients from Cronk not too much though, this is a potent nutrient mix and I would recommend using 1/4 of what they say to start with and see how the plant responds. RH and temps have been consistent, trying to make them comfortable as to get a week or two more of veg before they flower. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

Day 29 Growth is very rapid, the plant has become a nice ball shrub from the leaf tucking and training DWC will get changed tomorrow, she is drinking alot, maybe 2L a day PH nailed at 6.0, ppms start at 700 and go as low as 500 when about to change the pool I will be careful with water temperature. It is very cold here already up in the mountains Day 30 Growth is very nice. The DWC change went very well, and the plant is still loving the above nutrient mix. Remember to mix properly! Micro first, and really stir it in, then your others, stir them in very well, followed by your powder solution, stir it in very well, usually for 2-3 minutes in the bucket or 10L bottle. I like the shape of the plant Ive trained with basic leaf tucking and defoliation PH is solid steady at 6.0, yellow colour on the test Day 31 Growth is extreme in every direction. all limbs are growing upward and outward Still determining which training methods I will use for this one Just leaf tucking now for the shape to form Day 32 added 3L to the DWC, she is consuming nutrients really well... going in its ~680 ppm, testing 18 hours later, 400ppm this is a very hungry plant! still leaf tucking the main fan leafs for the branches to grow upward, is working very well defoliated the under side of the plant, removed all 1st and 2nd limb node leafs and branches, they will only runt out and grow larf in the long run. Day 33 Extreme growth after defoliation, added 2.5 Litres to the DWC, the plant is drinking 2-2.5 litres a day uploaded video of the setup and plant Day 34 Growing very well, expanding everywhere. I added 2 litres to the DWC. Day 35 Growing well, performed some light LST on the lower limbs to expand a bit Added 3 Litres to the DWC, this plant eats alot of nutrients

there's not much to tell, the sun shines almost every day, sometimes over 25 degrees during the day. which of course she likes. the autopot system also works well.

I loved it. Grew some really nice buds, produced an amazing smell that filled the room once I opened my tent. The buds are really sticky, trichomes looked amazing they were about 75% cloudy when I cut her down.

Die Lady die an Tag 56 geflusht wurde, wurde an Tag 61 erneut mit Flawless Finish solange gespült, bis der Ec wert zwischen 0.2 und 0.3 war (Summe 30 l für 11 l Töpfe). Bis zum Hacken am Tag 65 bekommt die Ladie kein Wasser mehr. Alle anderen bekommen nach wie vor die volle Menge. Die Tricome sagen, dass Sie noch nicht so weit sind.... ich denke es dauert immer noch min 10-14 Tage. Warum die eine Pflanze so viel schneller ist.... keine Ahnung.Die Buds werden bei den 3 anderen immer dicker und stehen gut im Saft. RLF steht nun zwischen 35-43 % um Schimmel keine Chance zu geben. Die Temperatur ist auch konstant gut....

Add slightly nutrients. Day Nr 16 doing topping. Nutrient tank with capacity 10L turning little bit in alkaline, at the beginning I added 3ml ph down and reach 6.4 pH, than now it’s inccrise to 6.6 on 5 days time. Same I can telling about TDS. At the beginning it was 350 ppm, but now it’s step up on 400ppm without adding nothing. Day 18 start moving out new branches from places around where was topping. Keep watering with 1.5L with slight nutrients dosage… Day 20 we can see how flower keep moving ahead after topping days ago…
