Hello Diary. The second week of flowering is behind us. I did a little defoliation this week, I honestly didn’t dare remove more leaves and branches, I didn’t know how they would react to it. Maybe I needed more? The temperature is still high, sometimes rising to 29, 30 degrees, but mostly around 28. Humidity in the air is an average of about 55% but sometimes rises to 60%. The problem is frequent rains this summer which creates high humidity in the air and this affects the humidity in the box as well. The flowers are developing nicely, and they have started to smell as well, but let the pictures speak for themselves. The plants are big for my conditions, the 120 x 60 box size is perhaps too small for three plants (two Hulkberries and one Green Gelato), so the real jungle is in the box. It’s already a challenge to take them out every week for a photo shoot, but I try to be as careful with them as possible. The Hulkberry has reached a height of 113 cm which is on the verge of acceptability. If it continues another ten cm, I’ll be in trouble because the lights can’t lift more than this. 18/07/2020. - Day 30. Defoliation. I removed the leaves at the very bottom of the plant to make it easier for me to water them, after that I watered the plants but this time I didn’t put BioBizz, I just watered them with clean water. 21/07/2020. - Day 33. Watering. This time I gave them BioBizz, on schedule for the second week of flowering. I also added CalMag 1.5ml / L, preventively. While they don’t show they’re missing anything, I’ll keep adding CalMag. 23/07/2020. - Day 35. Photography and height measurement. Hulkberry Auto # 1 - Day 35. - 97cm Hulkberry Auto # 2 - Day 35. - 113cm That’s all for this week, see you soon.

The plant is a beast. Having a lot of light burn issues and I dimmed the LED but it still continued. I’m out of vertical space in the tent. Trying to keep her happy until harvest.

Back soon. Take it easy.

Water Day (half strength) - [ ] Kangaroots, Microbe Brew, Grow Big, Distilled Water, Ph-6.8, PPM-890). - [ ] Lessons Learned - Ph Up/Down from fox farms is super strong, huge upswing in 500ml distilled water with only 0.25ml of pH Up. - [ ] I think I need to pH water before adding nutrients. Can anyone verify this please? - [ ] Will transplant to recirculating dwc soon, until then probably watering every 3-5 days with current nutrient mix. Can’t wait to get it under better lights! - [ ] Most likely going to mainline if it all works out ok. 6/10/19, DAY 26, UPDATE: Water day due to transplant Decided to change plans a bit. Transferred to big fabric pot and fox farms ocean forest soil. Will grow plant out and cut clones. Will then put clones immediately into DWC setup. This mother plant will then be moved outdoors to flower. Hopefully it all pays off! Day 29 6/14/19 Decided to clear all fan leaves that had less than five fingers then top at the 4th node and LST the remaining fan leaves. The goal is to eventually cut two clones off of the the 3rd node and mainline everything else starting at the 4th node. At least 8 colas is the goal, ideally 16. We’ll see tho, Very surprised at how quickly the leaves pointed back up toward the light and recovered from the lollipopping/topping/LST. Any and all suggestions are welcome! Lofty goals for my first grow ever, hopefully it all works out.

So many seeds lol…these girls are all doing excellent with deeds ripening no complaints this week just feeding these girls 3 gallons daily for maximum seed growth and drowning

A bit of nute burn. Burnt tips on a few leaves but still continued to feed nutes to this lady. Good growth. Will not be topping this one just defoliate.

Día 22: 🔹Riego según la tabla de nutrientes BioBizz con una EC de 900 y un pH de 6.2. 🔹Pulverización con Rootbastic a 0.15ml/l. ✳️Nota: creo que finalmente el Sabado las pasaré a floración, 12/12.Leevarán ahora entre 3/4 semanas con unos 5 días de diferencia ( hay cañamones que puse más tarde. Día 23: 🔹Pulverización con Rootbastic a 0,1ml/l 🔹Tengo que volver a regar, aplique poca agua ( 250ml x maceta) y le aplico 370ml x maceta ya que no dispongo de más agua sin cloro. La próxima vez las regare con 1/2 litro a cada una . Riego según lo tabla Biobizz con una EC baja 900-1000ppm

Finally back to it!

Wedding cheesecake FF by Fast Buds Germination, days: 3 Vega (18/6), days: 35 Flowering (12/12), days: 64 Total, days: 101 Ec 2.5 (Athena bloom, Fade, Cleanse, Balance) Ph 6.1 Red 100% Blue 25% UV 20% DLI ~32 T. Day: ~25C T. Night: ~21.5C Humidity: ~57% T.leaf: 24.5C Week progress. Two slow plants are still lagging behind, the video shows what a variety of phenotypes, it is very difficult to grow. I plan to harvest in a week, afraid that if I'll do not cut then buds will start to turn yellow. I probably won't keep the two lagging plants longer because the box is needed for drying. The smell is similar to sweet strawberries.

Week 9, what to say, I'm definitely doing this much better then last grow! Not seeing any major deficiencies, lower leaves are naturally going yellow and dropping off but the rest of the canopy is surprisingly green still! -Zambeza Super Silver Haze: Ahead of the bunch in size and ripeness iand s probably as chonk as it'll get, added some overdrive to finish it off. Not going to flush but probably will cut if in a week or 2 when I start seeing some Amber. -Royal Gorilla auto#1(the left one) Still buffing up and slowly getting more cone shaped and the stretching seems done now, filling out slowly, I think at least 3/4 weeks but not sure if my patience will agree. -Royal Gorilla auto#2 (the right one) The slow one of the bunch, seems to lag behind about a week so a month at least before it'll be done :/ Overall just doing 2 waters a week, wed & sun but they are getting more thirsty in noticing I just add nutes fairly freely, lowering the cal mag a bit, more top max and big bud. 450ppm Messed up the pH down today and I think it went in 5.9 but probably won't matter.

The ladies are giving all the signs that they are ready to be harvested. Leafs yellowing. Most hairs are now dark. Under the microscope it looks good. Been flushing for a week now. As I still see some under developed I will let it run another week before harvest. Looking forward to this!

Sorry for the late post - pics from weekend, just now getting them up. Added a second net to hold the weight - did some moderate Defoliation for light and airflow - lower buds are responding well now. Seems like she was very thirsty just a few weeks ago but has slowed down. Responds after feedings well still. I think I'm a still good 3-4 weeks out from harvesting, which seems odd since my first grow with this strain only took 8 weeks in flowering, but I'll roll with it.

I got candy stripes and slight N deficiency. Gonna give it extra aminos and tiny amount urea for N. They are drinking a lot so i up the feed.

Candyman Day 57, Day 7 of flower! Not much to say apart from they are defo fems 😍 the first plant looks to be forming bigger bud spots already. They needed a big watering so did that before light off and this morning they look beautiful again 😍💚 Update: Day 9 of flower I've stripped loads off and took a lot of lowers off and I'm hoping for some nice juicey buds now

woohooo!

They're surviving, and the flowers are perfects, only the plant is suffering now, but I think that the bio-bloom will do his work. We noticed some peaks where mold had developed, due to the very high humidity of the last few days, so we removed the infected part.
