Got the Spider Farmer wicking system set up with a reservoir. Up until now I’ve been using purchased pure water since it came with a better starting pH than my tap. After running the numbers, the cost of hauling jugs didn’t make sense long term. I ended up grabbing an RV water inline filter for the garden hose, which strips out most of the chlorine and other contaminants I was worried about. Goal was mostly a stable water source because the girls are getting thirsty; I still prefer hand-watering to wet and activate the top dress. Access is only from one side of the 5×5, so as they bulk up I’m learning the back two are a chore to reach. The wicking pads help keep things even between rounds, but I’m still going in by hand to finish the job. Did a defoliation pass; airflow and light paths improved, but I may need to push it a bit further because I don’t want a lot of larf. Crazy how much plant material I pulled off but they seem fine. Light feels like the current yield limiter. The SF4000 is solid but a touch undersized for full 5×5 penetration, the lower canopy isn’t getting what I want. I’m eyeing a higher-wattage bar style light for better edge uniformity and deeper PAR at canopy. I’ve been testing edge light saturation with the SpiderF PPFD sensor at canopy height. Center readings are strong but the corners and long edges are clearly lacking. Smaller tent or smaller plants another option maybe. Im at 100% on my light and will be for the rest of the grow just raising it to keep distance. Plants look happy overall. The Durban Cookies is standing out, taller and more vigorous than the 10th Planets especially for being a week younger than the rest. I am guessing it will be harvested first just by stretch speed alone. The 10th Planets R1s all have a pretty even canopy going but showing stretch. Wicking system + hand-water combo is keeping the media right where I want it, and the top dress from last week is kicking in. Reminding everyone this is my first grow. Hoping for a pound dry, but I won’t be greedy. Keeping my expectations realistic! Thanks for following along.

Knocked a couple of tops over to try to even the canopy. The first few pistils are starting to show, which is exciting. No topdress, just some Stash blend once this week.

Update - 4th July 2021 Just still flushing away. The colours that are coming out are crazy. I have edited some pics but not videos and the videos dont really pick up the colour. Its strange that it started completely green and then went darker and darker until it reached purple buds covered in trichomes. I am planning on harvesting both this plant and the purple punch today or tomorrow depending on when i can be bothered lol Tbh, its not hard because i dry trim so it's just a case of plucking off the fan leaves and hanging it in different branches.

Ginger Nut cookies & Aussie music video's 5th March 2020 Flowering Begins ....................................... My little creation is officially Flowering folks!! After stretching upwards about 30cm all tips are developing little Budlets. I started to see minor signs of Nitrogen deficiency from a coupleof bottom leaves that suddenly began to yellow. This is fairly normal as the plant would have needed as much (nitrogen) as it could get doing all that stretching. I needed to feed half strength grow nutes ( professors nutrients) @1ml/L three times during the last 7 days. Now that the stretch seems to have slowed right down I will start to add some Dr Greenthumbs Bud n Bloom mix ( aprox qtr of a cup). I'll also keep using LST to allow as much light to penetrate as possible. 👍 **** Now for the Weekly Australian Music Videos *** Last week I posted Links to songs from the Artist Paul Kelly , they were Sleep Australia Sleep and Dumb Things. I hope you listened to them but that's your preference whether you choose to or not. Anyhoo This weeks Artist is a real Blast from the Past!! The bands called Daddy Cool and Ive selected a couple of their quite catchy tunes that were recorded way back in the 1970's Firstly is a Classic here in australia this is.... Eagle Rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQfAZVsz6KM And the other song is Come back again https://youtu.be/oIG9osPPILM I am sure these will have you bopping along to their cool and laid back Musical style. Hope you Enjoy and please leave a like if you do & I'll be back next week with another grow update and Aussie music Video 💪👌👍

So where off ! Well these seedlings have got off too a great start , I did not pop the seeds into water for the first 24 hours this time , I just placed into a peat pod and within 3 days they broke the soil , so about the same time too germinate than both methods , I started them off at 200 watts of my 600watt dual spectrum bulb

This plant is taking a while to grow it is awesome some with its smell. It smells like coconut and strawberry . If I could speed up time to smoke it that would be cool.

What can I say that the journal doesn't already. A massive yield for a 1ftx1ft area in my 4x4 tent. Tons of frost. Sticky as possibly can be (my scissors hate me, but love acetone today)

Hallo zusammen, wir stehen Anfang siebte Blütewoche und dieses wird für diesen Lauf auch die letzte sein, da wir erste Erfahrungen mit Budrot machen durften. Allgemein waren die Daten die uns der Growhub angezeigt hat nicht alt zu verkehrt. Rückblickend war aber zu viel Masse und einige Bud´s zu tage gekommen und schlussendlich waren wir in der Feinabstimmung noch nicht im optimalen Bereich, ganz klar. Dennoch besteht auch bei uns noch Potenzial nach oben! Gedanklich haben wir vieles vertiefen können und sind auch sehr froh über diese neue Erfahrung, auch wenn diese definitiv nicht positiv ist! Zum Glück haben wir den Budrot Recht schnell ausfindig machen, großzügig Entfernen. Stetige Kontrollen haben wir geführt. Im Nachgang fing die Dame hinten Links durch Stress noch an zu HERM. Dahingehend haben wir im unteren Bereich für die letzten drei Tage auch unnützes herausgenommen. Auch zum Zeitpunkt der Feststellung des Budrot, haben wir jede Menge an Blattgut entfernt, um die R. Raumfeuchte auf mind. ca. 50 Prozent zu bekommen. Seit dem Feststellen, haben wir nur noch gespült mit Wasser. Insgesamt sind wir dennoch froh, dass bis hierhin nicht alles im Abfall gelandet ist und zum Glück der Schaden nicht alt zu arg ist. Negative Erfahrungen verbessern einen nur, wenn man natürlich nicht aufgibt. So etwas gehört leider auf dieser Ebene dazu, wir können ein Hacken dahinter machen. Zudem hat es uns noch näher an unser recht aktuelles und erst benutztes Setup gebracht, was auch sehr viel Wert ist. 😉 So nun die Kulla Tränchen weggewischt und weiter geht es! Wir brauchen den Platz und kümmern uns erstmal darum xD Revue gesehen, obwohl es an vielen Stellen nicht immer positiv war, ist unsere eigene Eischätzung zu diesem Tagebuch sehr positiv. Hier passierte viel und die Pflanzen sind doch auch wenn mit Umwegen an ihr Lebensziel gekommen. Wir steigen insgesamt eine Woche eher als angegebene mind. Blütezeit aus. Die Trichome sehen auch nicht schlecht aus, auch wenn wir sie selbst natürlich noch mind. Eine Woche noch gesehen hätten. Der nächste Lauf wird besser, ganz sicher. Wir haben jetzt unser Zelt kennengelernt, die Anbauweise wird in Zukunft filigraner ausfallen ^^ Es war schon doch ganz gut gefüllt das Zelt xD So nun das war es jetzt erstmal, wir wünschen allen Growmies ein mega entspanntes Wochenende und vielen Dank für euren Besuch!

_____ Week 14 | Day 92 - 98 | 7th week of Flower ______ Day 93🌞💧 - 3 liter each Plant, small drain. Day 94 🌞 - Since I'm a bit afraid of mold, I run the fans at a higher speed, which causes the leaves to rub against each other and causes physical damage to the leaves. A few tips are burnt but nothing to worry about. ------------------------------------------------------- Temp. avg. - 22,6° Hum. avg. - 53,6 %

Week 5 for the Green Papaya from super sativa seeds club. Amazing plant, she has beautiful buds and a amazing sweet smell, ah and dont forget the high amount of trichomes she produces, and very very compact buds. this plant is great for a scrog, next time i will leave her with even more topping and lst and then fill a net, she has very potent, compact and nice buds perfect for this. Outdoor this plant shows pink pistils because of the slightly lower temperature at night. Adding also one picture for reference, that one if from a friend who has a clone of mine

The buds on this plant seem very nice and tight, a nice purplish bud colour started to develop during the 48 hours producing some very pleasant looking buds.

We are at the start of week 4, day 23 from seed. All I can say is HOLY CRAP these girls are growing and thriving. Installed a new automated watering system yesterday. Built from a pond pump, swing pipe, a few T’s, shut off valves to control flow, and end caps. Ziptied it to the fabric pots for the right coverage. I think this is the final thing I need to do. Also swapped out the 3, 200w lights for a single sf4000 (450w) for even coverage as the multiple lights left hot spots. I plan to utilize the vs2000 (200W) light closer to flower for max yield. On a side note, I have followed basementganjas videos on YouTube for the nutrient mix on his “How I grow 41” and defoliated using his videos “How I grow 33.” For now all 4 of my plants seem to be bigger at this stage than all of his videos I’ve seen from him.
