🌱 Grow Journal – Week 8 This week, the plant kept growing steadily and looks healthy overall. She gained almost 8 centimeters in just seven days—that’s more than a centimeter per day, which is a great sign of strong development. I’m planning to work on her structure a little: probably a topping in the coming days, along with a light defoliation. The goal is to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and make sure the light is distributed more evenly, while guiding her growth in a balanced way. The main challenge this week has been the pH. This morning, the reservoir measured 4.8 while the tray was at 5.2, a 0.4 difference. I honestly don’t understand why the drop was so sharp. I had added Athena Balance, which should stabilize the nutrient solution. The only explanation I can see is the heat—we hit almost 31°C this weekend, and I suspect the nutrient solution was heavily affected by the temperature rise. If anyone reading this journal has insights on why this happens, I’d be glad to hear them. It’s a bit frustrating, because Autopots are supposed to make things simple. But in reality, I still need to monitor closely, especially since the coco buffer doesn’t seem to be doing its job properly—or maybe the reservoir just dropped too low and threw everything off. Either way, I’ll stay vigilant. Hopefully, with summer ending and temperatures cooling down, the solution will stabilize and the pH won’t swing so much. On the positive side, I’m still really happy with Athena nutrients. The solution stays crystal clean, no buildup, no deposits, and that makes things a lot easier to manage. So overall: strong growth, healthy plant, but pH management continues to be the main challenge. Let’s see how things evolve next week.

All I can say is WOW! Sour Diesel Haze is HUGE! Tons of bud sites developing all over and looking beautiful! She has the potential of being my largest plant to date! Looking forward to watching her buds fatten up and harvesting. 👍

Неделя пролитела, очень сильно пострадала девочка, очень сильно проявился дефецит фосфора и калия, пришлось побегать и купить удобру, добовляю уже 3 дня, по листву изминений нету не в худшую сторону, не в лучшую, посмотрим как пойдёт дальше, шишки набухают очень быстро и трихомы уже появились на листах, причём довольно так много, интересно наблюдать дальше за растишкой, очень удивительная девочка попалась, генетика очень радует и надеюсь сильно очень не пострадала из за дефецита

All plants doing well. I did a sledgehammer flush and after a few hrs i ran a bunch of water through soil to help flush the soil. I'm using full bloom nutes on everything but the dynamite desiel which are getting half bloom half grow next week I will start only bloom nutes the dynamite. I spray bt and neem oil once a week. There taking 2 gallons of water every 2 days. Weather has been nice cool at night and 75 to 80 day not too high humidity usually around 60 to 75 percent. I've started checking my soil ph and I've been ph my water and nute solution to 6.5. I've got no issues ATM.

Uma planta estava muito travada e pela minha experiência não vale a pena o custo da manutenção dessas plantinhas é chato mas preciso do espaço e do tempo para cultivar plantas que deem resultado. Coloquei um gancho leve em cada planta hoje para ver se aumenta a área verde.

Simplemente aplique una PEQUEÑA poda de bajos antes de trasplantar y pasar a floración. Empezamos la aplicación de enzynabis para crear una buena vida microbiana (también muy útil para evitar excesos o aprovechar cualqier “resto” que contenga nuestro suelo). También empezamos a regular los watts del led mars hydro ts1000,y a medida q vayan pasando las semanas se irá regulando a mayor potencia, hasta llegar al maximo (150w)

📆 Week 14, Harvest 11-20 January 2024 11 January - I made a determination to cut light power to 25%, and go to a 12/12 schedule, instead of turning light offs for 3 days. After a review of current philosophies and theories - I understand there may be a possibility that coldness, not light, could be more associated with a terpene and cannabinoid boost during this end process. So I will try something new. . 13 January - Harvest Day. When I opened the tent, the smell of fresh berries, sweet, ripe, heavy with a slight scent of pine filled the air. I cut branches and all shade leaves off, without damaging the sticky buds, and hung them to dry. The closet was at a low 35% RH (due to the 0-5 degree F temps outside) and 60 degrees F. It will remain here with circulation for about 5-7 days. 18 January - The buds were small enough and the closet RH staying staying 35%, it was ready to trim and jar up. This wasn’t too bad a process actually. The leaves flaked off prefectly leaving the bud in tact, so most of the trimming was done by hand using my fingertips, not clippers. A delicate process but fast once you get the hang of it. I’ve weighed and jared them up, along with a boveda 62% RH packet #8 in with each. Here they will stay and cure until their peak THC/terpene levels are reached at about 30-40 days, burped daily until a RH of 62% is reached and maintained. 📑 Product Review: Hybrid Indica Dominate The outcome: 4.2 ounces/119 grams of quality bud in about 90 days. The developer says just under 65 days, this could be done, it would have to be manipulated somewhat. The buds appear large, compact in size, but not so dense, a true bush variety. They are however loaded with trichomes and covered in resin. There is an excessive amount of sugar leaves that make it more challenging for the beginner to know how to care for it in later stages, especially flower. This pheno definately turned purple. ✂️ Harvest on 13 January 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 💡 Light power at 25% That is it for this grow. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

I guess the grow is doing okay. The zkittlez plant that has suspiciously small buds for the amount of time its been flowering and compared to GMP. I noticed some possible seed sacks on the zkittlez and then also GMP, i cut off a small lower bud on the GMP to get a closer look and when i opened up the sack it looked like an extremely small serd like 1/10 the size of a fingernail. I could be wrong in assuming that the plants hermed but i doubt it. My guess is thag the zkittlez plant hermed along the way at some point and pollinated GMP. The zkittlez was a freebie and i couldn't find the breeder so its kinda par for the course. The seed development is very slow so by the time the girls will be cut down, the seeds probably wont be mature but I've never had herms or done any breeding work so i have no clue. Im not thsr upset just a little peeved that i didn't notice sooner.

09/13/2018 Nutes up to 2/3strength, going up to full at next reservoir change. She is putting on nice growth, had to raise light due to leaf burn, but only one leave affected, I think I will flip to flowering next week. She has 9fingered leaves but in veg she's very Indica like, hopping she has more sativa like flower stretch.🙏 Topped and lite defoliation.

Very easy to grow, excelent yield (could be better but because of the grower poor experience hehe). Makes you euphoric and very very relaxed. Is excelent for day and night use after a hard work timeoff.

Green Crack is wack!! Both ladies got the chop and are drying now. Both packed on considerable size during their last week, hopefully it translates to higher dry weight. Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight and smoke report.

Here we go! New setting for this CBD Crack. Just under the big 384W led panel. I hope she doesn’t stretch much, or she will be light burnt for sure. It makes me smile because it’s an autoflowering strain that wants photoperiod-style nutrients. This week I started giving her bloom nutrients. I forgot the Bud Candy, but I’ll add it on the next watering (I think in just a few days). Much hype for this CBD Crack. Canadian ruderalis definitely makes the difference. Great job FastBuds!
