Die Pflanzen stehen in voller Vitalität und nutzen die letzten Tage der Vegetationsphase optimal aus. Das ScroG-Netz ist mittlerweile fast vollständig gefüllt, und beide Sorten – 24K Gold und Gelato 33 – zeigen ein harmonisches, kräftiges Wachstum. 24K Gold treibt sehr aktiv und reagiert hervorragend auf das wiederholte Biegen und Umlenken. Ihr Wuchs bleibt offen und gleichmäßig, die Seitentriebe haben sich stark entwickelt und schließen das Netz zügig. Die Blätter zeigen ein gesundes, sattes Grün – keine Spur von Stress oder Mangel. Gelato 33 wächst kompakter, mit dichter Blattstruktur und kürzeren Internodien. Durch das präzise LST-Training entsteht ein flacher, gleichmäßiger Kronenaufbau. Beide Pflanzen profitieren klar vom ScroG-System, das für optimale Lichtverteilung sorgt. Die Tropfbewässerung läuft stabil mit mehreren kurzen Intervallen am Tag. Düngung aktuell bei Canna Coco A + B → 6 ml/l, pH ≈ 5.8, EC ≈ 1.5–1.6. Beide Pflanzen reagieren positiv auf die stärkere Nährstoffgabe und zeigen kräftige Blattadern sowie zügige Entwicklung. Klimawerte: 🌡️ Temperatur 25–26 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit 60 % 💨 Kräftige Umluft und konstante Zirkulation In den kommenden Tagen wird das Netz noch ein letztes Mal nachjustiert, bevor die Lichtphase auf 12/12 umgestellt wird. Ziel: gleichmäßige Blütenverteilung über die gesamte Fläche. Beide Strains sind optimal vorbereitet – kompakt, stabil und voller Energie für den anstehenden Stretch.

Halfway through week 3. Both the girls have been transplanted to their final 5 gallon smart pot home. Soil medium is no longer a Light Warrior/Ocean Forest blend; it’s just Ocean Forest now. I don’t think that soil will be too hot at this point. Both plants are on their 4th node, I want to top at the 6th node so hopefully next week. Plant 2 has far more internode spacing even though both plants the same distance from the light. Plant 1 is developing 4 leaves so the fan isn’t symmetrical. Otherwise healthy. Leaves were droopier than usual today which might be transplant shock or I might have overwatered their new homes. Will add more to this week at the end. Love feedback!

Today is day 74 since the plants sprouted, and day 35 of the 12/12 light schedule. I got lazy with the diary after I switched to flower, but I switched to the flower schedule the day of the my last veg update. Everything has been very hands off since flower, to be honest. I've still been following the General Hydroponics nutrient schedule for my dosing, and the plants have seemed happy with that. Both plants look great in there, especially plant #2, which has tons of roots reaching out of the pot and onto the grow tray. From what I had read online, triploid plants are supposed to be seedless, at least when it comes to fruit. I was hoping that would mean the plants would be incapable of producing pollen sacks/seeds. As usual for my grows, I found pollen sacks at about 5 weeks of flower on plant #2, and promptly picked it off. That's the only one I've found so far, but I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for the next few weeks. From experience, these bastards pop up on the lower nodes from weeks 5-8 of flower. If any of them open during weeks 5-7, the whole crop gets tons of seeds.

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. Had some ups and downs with this plant. mainly the extreme yellowing that was happening. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and I feel this has suffered in the end. The top best looking buds could have been larger and the lower ones could have been thicker. There is some smells with this plant but they are not pronounced. Just smells like mild basic weed, this would be one reason not to grow it, however, the crystals on this plant have been the most I've ever grown before. When trimming them every time the scissors snipped or the brush stroked I saw some falling down onto the tray. This plant would be great for making hash. had a good little ball of finger hash at the end of it and will be giving that to my friends to smoke or make a strong edible with. I don't plan on growing this strain out again, the lack of smells and the fact I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. most of the lower growth is quite larfy but will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 5.34oz or 151.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷151.6g = 2.22 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 151.6g = 0.24c/g It cost 24c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

Tras una buena semana, voy a aplicar nutrientes solo 1 vez por semana, hasta el lavado de raices. Decir q la morada, debia de haber recibido menos nutrientes para un mejor desaroyo, lo bueno es que tengo un par de esquejes, para poder perfeccionar. 📅 Dia 28: Agua Ph6.5 Ec 250 📅 Dia 29: aplico nutrientes, EC 2100 y PH 6.5 esta vez la cantidad necesaria hasta la proxima semana, el resto de dias, agua. He cambiado la forma de aplicar los nutrientes para no volverme tan loco al tener tantas variedades, me guio por el color y textura de las plantas. El olor empieza a ser intenso 📅 Dia 30: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 31: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 32: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 33: agua Ec250 Ph 6.5 📅 Dia 34: descanso, algo va mal, voy a dejar secar y ver el agua que escurre. Quiero aprender bien esta tecnica que estoy desarrollando, no veo info sobre ella y cometo algunos errores, pero de eso se trata, de aprender y se a donde quiero llegar. Nota: Tras regar con agua uno de los ejemplares, la ec de salida ha sido 1600, a si que ni va mal la cosa. Creo haber logrado superar esa sobre fertilizacion y la floracion continua su curso.

Solid week, she's growing well if I look at a week ago but I'm too impatient 😆. A look back at the week that was. After a trip to my local hydroponic shop I picked up grow bags, SCROG net, Growrite AandB formulation (Dutch apparently although wasn't on the drop down list here?), CalMax and LST tie. Day 19 I did her 3rd and final transplant to 20L grow bag. She didn't seem to suffer from it but will definitely plant into final bag from the get go next grow. It's too stressful on me LOL. Moved my grow tent out of garage and onto patio area as we've had a spell of hot days >35degC and the shed roasts. Wife isn't happy bout it but my girl appreciates it. Introduced CalMax and Growrite into her fertilising schedule. Trying very hard to stick to a watering/fertiliser schedule giving her nothing every 2nd day as suggested in comments (thank you!). Also started LST and at day 21 it's looking like some medieval torture scene! Would like to know people's thoughts on the LST, have I gone overboard? While I'm asking what is the latest consensus on topping Autos? Most people here seem to go for it but a number of vids on YouTube say otherwise? Also I was watching a video that suggested a great way to promote root growth is to starve her of water I.e. let her go dry for prolonged period (>4 days?). What are people's thoughts on this? Anyone tried? I am hoping for big growth in week 4!

Moved them out of the small closet into a bigger closet(or wardrobe). Gave them a good foliar spray with organic seaweed extract. Topped two of the highest reaching canopies of the one smallest one that got to grow roots again. Re-potting at day 59; transplanted them into 15l autopots with airdomes on bottom. Soil is 90% Biobizz all-mix and 10% vermicompost. Gave them a good EM shower both for the plants and soil with 10% solution strength. Popped a Boost Buddy CO2 bag, which is now hanging in the grow space. They are in the wardrobe waiting to be transfered to the tent when it becomes available.

So I had a little less nutrient last week then i needed. Def a calcium deficiency. I think it's clearing up but this plant has spot all over it. I changed the water, gave it the right amount of nutrients and a little exra hydrated lime for calcium. Hydro is hard. I hoping It's not sick. I hope It doesn't get the other plants sick. Just a few weeks left.

BANANA PURPLE PUNCH - 420 FAST BUDS This plant started off stunted and looking all round unhealthy but I gave hear time lowered her nutrients and she’s come right back to life forming nice dense dark purple buds … The smell is amazing she smells of berries and lemony woody gassy smell. Nothing like banana if you ask me! Cannot wait to smoke this strain DRSHOTZUK
