23.08 The Drainmaster moved into the tent to control the drain. Defoliated and lollipopped them. 25.08 First run with the drain system. Nutrient Solution (Tank): Volume: 8.5 L EC: 3.05 pH: 5.5 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom + CalMag Irrigation Run: Pump time: 30 minutes Total Drain: 5.0 L (≈ 60%) Drain EC: 2.6 Drain pH: 6.0 🔎 Observations Drain volume was far too high (target is ~20%). Drain EC lower than input EC → medium was relatively “empty”, plants absorbed nutrients quickly. pH drift from 5.5 → 6.0 shows some buffering effect left in the reused substrate, but limited. Substrate behaves more like coco than soil now (low buffer, fast response). 💡 Insight / Lesson Learned 30 minutes pump time is way too long → resulted in 60% runoff instead of 20%. For 8 × 1 L pots, a single irrigation event should be ~1.0–1.2 L total, with ~200–250 ml runoff. Solution: shorten pump time to ~5 minutes and re-test runoff. Better approach: run shorter, more frequent irrigations (daily) with a lower EC (2.0–2.2), instead of heavy feedings (EC 3.0) only 3× per week. This will keep EC more stable in the root zone and prevent salt buildup in the tiny 1 L pots. 27.08 Adjusted the pump timer to 5 minutes, gave the first dose of PK13/14.

I started germination of 2 Amnesiac Automatic beans on 01/01/2021. HAPPY NEWYEAR! I am germinating them using rockwool cubes and a humidity dome. I pre moistened my plugs with ph balanced water to 6.4 . Than enlarged the pre made holes using a wooden dowel. Than sowed my 2 beans into the holes. I then ripped a small piece of rockwool off each plug and mulched it up. Than lightly filled in the holes using the mulched rockwool. Than it was into the humidity dome to marinate, and complete the germination process. Will likely take roughly 4 days to get some sprouts. Starting my adventure with Spliff Seeds Amnesiac Automatic. After they emerge I will get the plugs planted into 5 gallon pots to rock and roll. Cant fucking wait! Some background information on my experience with Amnesiac auto. I grew 2 of these ladies in one run. This variety stayed in veg for 6 weeks before it made the transition to flower. Produced 2 super branchy plants resulting in a mighty full canopy. Obviously resulting in quite a large yeild. Buds were relatively dense but super chunky! Fat colas were in an abundance. Plants were great height roughly 3 feet, and Not super stretchy. Strain responded well to lst and had no stunting as a result of light bending and manipulation. Very easy going in the nutrient department. Had no trouble at all meeting their dietary needs. Buds were very resinous and unleashed quite a euphoria! I was VERY impressed with the first run. So let's see how the second run goes.

6/30 I messed up and put 8 days last week so I'll have tp do a six day week to get back on schedule. Pounded rain last night I guess. Very intense but very brief. As you can see in the video the plants are found great. A few have revegged so I'll need to defoliate the middle. I could make a TON of clones but it's pretty late for that. I might clone a couple outstanding plants to keep the genetics. Still seeing some pillar damage. Might do bt tonight. I'll keep this updated. 7/1 Super hot yesterday. Reached 90°. We are getting SOME rain today and thunder showers day after tomorrow. Bags still had some heft and everything looked good. I went back aroundcand found about half were at the point of needing water. He'll, they probably all did. My watering can is 2 gallons not 1.5 as advertised. So that means I used 5 gallons on the garden (not watering the 50) focusing the more water on the lightest bags. That tenth planet I'm seeing more septoria like leaves. This makes enough for me to be fairly positive ill need to treat it. I have plant doctor but I think copper works better. I also see more pillar damage so I've gotta apply something. I also need to lst more and I keep to clean put the interior of the plants so they don't get pm. EDIT: IT WAS 80° and no rain at 6:30. Humidity close to 100% bit plants look AMAZING! I'm hoping this may be my best year yet! I won't grow a bigger plant than tjat blue cheese in the 50 but so far everything is looking good. I may add some nutes to the pink kush in the 50 due to tje slightly less green color. I assume it's just because the other soil is all New amd this was a mix. I defoliated lightly to prevent pm but I have more to do. I just wanted to get a video of the girls looking good. 7/2 82° at 9am. Glad I decided to water even thoughvi watered yesterday. I need to up my volume. Thirty degree temp swings don't help much either. I said I used 4 gals but I used 5. I had one phed already. I'm hoping this will be one of my best years. IT looks like it! I won't have that MONSTER blue cheese in the 50. It was the smallest plant anyway and shows the difference between using NEW soil and mixing old soil WITH new soil. It's a much lighter green. Still need to apply bt and do a little more defoliation. EDIT: IT'S 90° WITH LIKE 100% RH. PLANTS LOOK A LITTLE HEAT STRESSED BUT OTHERWISE PRETTY DAMN GOOD. EVEN MY FATHER MENTIONED (KNOCK ON WOOD) "THAT I DONT HAVE ANY SHOT ON THEM THIS YEAR." LOL. I UPLOADED A VIDEO TO SHARE. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING AS MUCH FUN AS I AM! 7/3 83° at 9:40a.m. I need to increase my watering volume so I don't need to water every day. I used 5 gallons to water everything but the 50. I think I'm underwatering. However it was supposed to be severe thunder storms with torrential rain, high winds and hail. I'll gratefully take this hot sunny day instead. However in the future I think I'm not goingvto add in the predicted rainfall in my schedule. Unless it's a torrential down pour obviously. Everything g is still looking good and I've still got some work to do.

Buds have all developed and fattened up nicely will start to flush these bad boys later on in the coming weeks prior to the great chop!! I've been smoking the f2's leafs for a while and can honestly say I'm really happy with the flavour profile and resin production.. Am thinking of reveging 1 to keep the genetics alive 😀😀😀 T-14 days 🎉🎉🎉 Just chopped everything down due to space and had a little spyder mite issue at the end.. In all 54 days in flower was a decent amount of time!! Will wait for the final dry w8 and report back!!

Didn't ensure the door to my grow room latched last night. Awoke to my plants being grazed on, my lights knocked over, and one fuzzy asshole tomcat curled up next to a knocked over light.

Buenas Jardineros!! Os traigo una nueva variedad NOVARINE, con THCV que elimina la sensación de hambre que nos produce el THC. Germinaron en apenas 3 días y el crecimento está siendo lo esperado. Solamente he puesto un poco de Alfa boost, un estimulador de raíces, para que esta primera semana crezcan bien fuertes. Uso el sustrato de Atami y el coco también. Para la semana más. Buenos humos!!!!<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">😘</font></font>

Hello all, I hope you are all well and safe. end of week 5 and the buds are starting to get bigger Mid Flower Looks good still on the top dressing with the Sea Blast Bloom. It seems to be taking the Nuites without any burns. I used the last of the Sea blast bloom and the South Cascade Organics SLF-1002 they are both depleted on this last feeding. Gave them plenty of water over the last few days 91 in the tent the C02 has to be helping these high temps. The RH jumps after a good watering 65-75 range put on the Dehumidifier brought it back down to 50 in the tent. I hope the Dusting took now I have to wait for 4-6 more weeks for the Feminized seeds if any. They are starting to get frosty, I have been tempted to use other nuites in my line up but that would defeat the purpose of the grow. "all sample freebies" so that is what I will be sticking with the ROCK CARGO and FUL will still go to the end of the grow maybe in stronger amounts. This strain smells like SWEET BERRYS I can't explain it better that that. cheers

Looking good. A bit fuller. No major changes, slow and steady. I’ve been really excited to grow these ever since they arrived as freebies with one of my seedsman orders. One is getting big enough I might even add a few bendy things to open her up a bit more and hopefully add a few more bud sites over the next few weeks. 🌱 👊🏻

She is now coming into preflower and loving the new T5's. She is growing nice and bushy with future tops shooting for the stars. The stretch is definitely near. She will continue to be tied down and has been pruned and defoliated as needed to give her that sexy shape i want her to have in flower. Her terpines are beginning to be noticeable and is of lemons, earthy notes, and loud gas. She is now also getting kelp extract added to the nutes. She is growing very nicely and i could not be happier at the moment. So far OSSC has my attention as their phenotypes have been very nice.

Estuvimos un poco desaparecido por andar un poco desmotivado pero aquí vamos nuevamente, las nenas van bastante bien en la semana 8 la cambiamos a maceta de 3.5L y aprovechamos de darle GREAT WHITE SHARK, la técnica que usamos es de amarrar el central ya que le hicimos supper cropping y apical a nuestro central, amarramos el apical que le hicimos super cropping y le dimos fuerza a varios brazos. Para ir controlando la altura de los brazos le hicimos poda a pical a los que estaban tomando más altura y así poder ir equiparando los brazos. La verdad que no se cuantos brazos tengo que sacar y aun me quedan unas 4 semanas para poder desocupar mi armario de floración y poder pasarlas a flora, así que intentaremos hacer una muy buena estructura antes de pasarlas a floración. La defoliación la aplico cada vez que saco foto ósea semanal y trato de ir manteniendo de a 4 nudos o 6 nudos La alimentación se mantiene igual lo que si no se si lo dije pero: Rhizotonic: Lo estoy usando solo en trasplantes y cuando hago alguna poda. Cannazym: Lo estoy usando 1 vez por semana. Orca y Myco Chum: Lo estoy usando 1 vez cada 1-2 semanas Alimentación diaria: Calmag, silicia, supervit y canna coco a+b Alimento a cada una con 250-350 cc de solución, 2 horas que encienden las luces y 2 horas antes de que se apaguen. Gracias a esta receta no eh tenido tanta variedad en mi runoff y las nenas se mantienen muy sanas. Saludos
