Week 2 of Bloom

I added the small cooler with water with some ice packs, now the water will be below 20° for a longer period (around 2 days with the same ice pack), I also added a couple of sensors with the Raspberry Pi to check the humidity, temperature, light intensity and water temperature sensor

Got a little hot outside this week again and temps in the tents reached a high of 92. They hovered around 85-88 most of the time, and nighttime temps around 75. The plants have been loving the tropical like environments, and in fact showing less signs of stress now they are in warmer temps. I got my magnesium dialed back in with a few applications of Epsom Salt. The pants drank twice as normal this week. I also gave them a feeding with my fermented fruit juice I made and they seem to be loving it. I got a new bottle of cal-mag and does not seem to be as acidic, so i can add a little more than I was without it ruining my ph. It too about 15ml per gallon of the FFJ to Ph my water down form 7.8 to 6.5. I tested it before use and its PH is around 2.5. Between the Epsom salt, FFJ, and kelp. The plants are really starting to bounce back from their slight unhappiness. They are all looking near 100 percent health. At the end of the week they are are raging and praying to the light like theirs no tomorrow. Glowing vibrant lush green, the buds are also already a decent size for only being week 2. The plants and in much need of some defoliation but I will wait one more week after stretch to get that taken care of. The dehumidifier running during night cycle has been keeping things in check. The clones rooted and I potted them up to 1 gallon so I now have small moms. I got new worms and my worm bins cleaned out and set up again. Each of the 65 gallon pots got a small ball of worms added to the top soil to get the worm populations growing in them again. I was hoping those casting I added a few weeks ago with added worm eggs would hatch some but no luck so i just got some from Uncle Jim's worm farm.

📆 Semana 11 Cogollos completamente formados, muy densos y en su máxima expresión de engorde, con una estructura firme y estable sin cambios relevantes más allá del acabado final. La resina se presenta muy abundante, con tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos y presencia creciente de ámbar, situándose en el punto óptimo según el efecto buscado. Se mantiene la diferencia entre genotipos, con el más rápido prácticamente en ventana de corte. El perfil aromático está completamente definido, intenso y profundo, mientras se observa consumo de reservas en hojas grandes propio del final del ciclo. Cultivo estable, listo para cosecha. 💪

The growth for 1 week is impressive....looking forward to a monster harvest and possibly pollinating half this girl.

Great réaction to stress. Flow exactly started thé 28th day. Let’s see. Started bio bloom too.

Nothing special, everything is actually working. Clearly once my water was at the right temperature, no more worries. The flowers arrived at 12/12 + 11 with the trichromes that pop, it starts to be pleasant! So of course, I'm not going to break any records on this RUN but in any case, I've eliminated a lot of "novelty" and mistakes that I'll make more. I'm counting on the run I'm re-launching to blow all that up, I'm going to go for a performance goal The stretch is off to a good start, it should settle down around 12/12 +21 - 28, so I will place my second net next week. I have done a defoliation. I change the soup in 2 days, so my solution lasts 10 days. I have a slight over-fattening, but really nothing serious, I will switch to an EC of 1.8 - 1.9 instead of 2.0. and I will observe. Here we can see the delay of one of the plants, it's as if I was shooting with only 3 plants. Next time, only one strain, same size of cuttings and passage by cuttings and RDWV DIY mandatory before passage in the V-system. Next week, I change the brand of fertilizer for the RDWC, I go to Athena, I will introduce the PK of Athena which according to their recommendation starts at the 21st day at a rate of 2ML/L. I turn with the base sensi bloom a and b + athena pk Otherwise, I receive the parts this week for my RDWC DIY system for growth, I'll make it with my friend and I'll test it and I'll give you a feedback on the next update, especially since I'm going to restart right away, I'm going to do 10-15 days in cuttings and then I'll go to the RDWC DIY system for growth until I finish the FLO of the V-SYTEM and then I'll go straight to the next one. I'm going to put my LEDS at 80% which is the MAX recommendation of SANlight without c0² ( I don't forbid myself to grow at 100% in week 5-6, I'll see... )

Day 63 This plant has been trained into a wide, flat shape, with multiple tops spread out evenly across the pot. The structure is low and bushy, clearly influenced by topping or LST, which has opened up the canopy for better light penetration. Leaf color is generally healthy, a strong green with decent vibrancy, though some variation is visible. The lower leaves show stress — one is yellowed and deteriorating, likely from nutrient deficiency (older growth being consumed) or simply natural fading. The canopy looks vigorous and responsive to training, but growth is still somewhat restrained; the plant doesn’t yet have explosive vertical energy. The root zone may still be recovering from earlier stress, but the overall appearance suggests it’s adapting well. Going forward, the key will be to maintain even watering and steady nutrition, supporting strong root activity. Some light defoliation could help airflow under the canopy and direct energy into the developing tops. If conditions stay stable, this plant should be able to bounce back and continue filling the space effectively.

Even though it says 80 Gallon pot, it’s really 400, it just glitches out when I enter 400 and converts to say only 80. I know she looks bad! I know. She has only been managing a nutrient lockout with horribly low pH for far too long! The Hydrated Lime has indeed fixed the pH! Resulting in my next inbound set of problems. The original soil from the second 2.3L pot she was in was too strong! She needs to get her roots out into the larger pot, but that only gives her so much more space. Plus in that larger black plastic pot, the hot dry sun at 7,000 ft in elevation, really heats up those pots! When it’s 98F later, that sounds like torture! Maybe it was enough to balance out the more concentrated stuff towards the inside of the root mass. But I don’t want her roots to stop there! The time is now for her to go into the 400!!! The soil is 6.5 pH through and through. The peas are about to bloom! She has just avoided lockout and is picking up momentum! The 400 gives her a huge diameter for her roots! Something I sincerely hope her genetics will take advantage of. The soil is rich and alive! The temps in 400 will be so much better! Now I must prepare for my Arch Nemesis! The Butterfly!!!!!! Lol But seriously. They find my plants attractive, and decide to serve my plants as food for their offspring!!!! Not okay! Last year their success rate on my plants was a fat 0!! But they did some serious damage! I am prepared this year!! I will watch with vigilance for any butterflies around my plants specifically. I will spray my plants down regularly with diatomaceous earth! Not too much obviously! I know less is more when spraying that stuff! No mother wants to give her children food with razor blades in it! And as always there is always next year! I can’t let a phase of mice and men get the better of me. However!!… that’s what I said LAST YEAR!!!! Lol. This year IS next year! Anyways she looks rough right now on Day 58 but I tell yah what, she has very recently made a dramatic turnaround for the better!! …I hope! Happy Growing! StrongTrees💪🌳

Continuing to gradually flush with just plain water until harvest.

Beginning of week... Well, I had to work late last night.. So, she wasn't watered for 24 hours.. I have been having to water/feed 2 to 3 times a day due to the media drying out.. The roots are insane in the cup.. Alot aLoT ALOT of fuckin roots.. This is my first cup grow that had this much roots.. So yeah, I could see her drinking like a mf.. Which she does.. She is happy and healthy... Besides the underwatering today.. I couldn't be more happy with the way this girl is growing. After 7 days of 12/12 and the tops are starting to form pistils.. Next week should be epic pistil growth by the way she's been growing so far.. Will update when she perks up from the underwatering.. Later that day.. Shit.. She perked up.. But not enough to show a full recovery pic.. I watered when I took the underwatered pic and before lights went out.. That was only about... 4 hours.. Usually the girlies perk up after about an hour or maybe 2.. I'm sure she will be fine in the AM.. Oh yeah I forgot to add in the veg cycle I was adding 1mL per L of water of Silica.. So that should have helped her build up a good immunity to my abuse.. This is the only hiccup so far in the grow.. No more stress! Will update on the issue in the AM with pics whether she fully recovered or not 24 hours after decovering she was underwatered... She perked back up.. I forgot to mention that I have been bending the tops to help the lower branches stretch up some.. I remember reading somewhere that is another form of LST, I believe. I'm pretty much just bending the top 2 - 3 nodes to point straight down.. Which is just enough to not snap the top completely off.. When I release the top she stays pointed pretty much at 90° away from the center of the plant.. A few more side branches have almost caught up to their main tops. I read that it kinda like tricks the plant into thinking she's topped 'in a way'.. I feel like it just stresses the branch upward from where the most bending is at.. And the side branches are not being stressed at all so they keep growing/stretching at normal speed, if not a little faster, while the top above the bend has been stressed and slows down, if not stops completely. Just my 2 cents on the dealio.. Just bend the main tops downward 180° from the center of the plant, so that when you release the tops, they stay bent over at 90° (or tied like LST) and let the bottom branches get all the light.. After a couple hours, the tops will have probably already pointed back upward..😁 The capacitor on my home AC went out.. Temps in the tent got up to 90° F.. Leaves were pointing upward.. Praying.. But also canoeing.. Luckily I checked google and youtube on how to fix it.. I fixed it in under 15 mins.. Got the temps back down to normal and just made sure I kept her good and watered thru the heat stress. She is good now tho. The pics for today were 6 hours after seeing the heat stress. When I say LST this week.. Its just bending the tops down as I stated earlier in the grow.. I even removed the ties that I did have.. I shouldn't have done that because the tops kinda bunched together.. Oh well.. Live and learn.. Shouldn't create any issues.. Its easier to water now.. i was using a 1 fl oz turkey baster that worked very well.. But also time consuming.. Now I can just pour straight out of the powerade bottle I use to mix and store nutes and water.. I never keep anything mixed for more than 2 or 3 days at the most.. I have just ordered a bunch of hydroponic stuff.. And organic stuff... I can't run both at the same time.. I don't know which to try first.. Im thinking try hydro first.. Then organics because I think organics MAY be where I end up but still wanna try hydro to see how it ends up.. Hmmm... Went ahead and lollipopped her and bent the main tops down.. One branch kinda snapped so I think it was pretty much supercropped lol whoops.. Didnt break the skin tho.. I dont really care for defoliating alot.. But I always end up doing it anyway.. I need to stop lol

Week 10 Temperatures are still not as high as in week 8, still 25 degrees celsius (77fh), I gave a few days only PH water, but now i'm back on the feed again with PK 13/14. You can see some leafs turning a lighter colour green but i think this is normal ending of life cycle. Maybe someone can say more or else about it.

After many weeks believing that I have mites in my cultivation, I start to believe that my real problem is my soil. Apparently my soil still has decomposing material and it has affected the leaves. Waiting the flowering goes and how will plant react of it. I hope it not serious thing. My leaves problem look like excess of nutrient in soil formulation. On this week I turn lights on. Now there will be 360W full power to flowering stage.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de crecimiento de estas Gorilla cookies Auto de FastBuds. Tiene muy buenas reseñas y pues me animé a colocar 4 plantas. Las cuatro semillas una vez germinadas son plantadas directamente en macetas de 7 litros y salieron las 4, 100% de éxito en el ratio. La tierra que utilizamos que está en la publicación anterior es plagron all mix, aparte alimentamos nuestras plantas con Agrobeta. Por supuesto el oh se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2, regando cada 24 horas e intentando mantener la humedad un poco alta al principio. De uno de los ejemplares la cague un poco, como siempre que no falte, al quitar la piel de la cáscara de la semilla? Pues arranque los cotiledones sin querer, pero salir saldrá adelante.

Day 63 flowering: Well here we have it Growmies. 63 days of Marsian sunshine and plenty of enriching feeds and we have reached the crux point. The Strawberry Cola finished beautifully and was taken out 4 days ago. She has been in the dark along with the Monster mash who went in yesterday. Both girls had begun to show amber trichromes with the scope so we're ripe for pulling . More on those with ther harvest reports . Herz Og looks so edible right now . she still has clear trichromes around and no real signs of amber ones to concern me.yet. A few more days should see her finish perfectly I hope. She isnt a huge plant but the quality on close up is amazing. I am now only using water until she finished to leech through the Dragon force to avoid any after taste in rhe buds. We are getting to the best bit now but also the hardest part . The waiting to dry and not rushing it is always the most difficult part for me.lol Enjoy the pics and I will catch you on the harvest reports. Be safe and free growmies UPDATE ##### The final lady is now hanging with her stable mates for a low and slow dry. The dark period had her sweating more oils for sure too so she needs to benleft alone to dry them into her buds now as she dries. shebfinishwd perfectly. Next update will be harvest hopefully soon. watch this space!!!!

It's doing well, the scent is getting stronger, it's flowering beautifully, and it seems to be growing much better than the first one, which suffered from the climate and other factors. 12/12 from seed Watering with filtered tap water every 2/3 days, when the pot is lighter, 500-1000ml Soil: peat, coconut powder, perlite, carbonized rice husk, sheep manure and worm humus. essential mineral mix, vegetable flours, vegetable cakes, biochar, bokashi EM1 and other organic inputs, Algae ascophyllum nodosum small pots 3,7liters // 1gallon light: lm301h-evo 120watts with other plants

9 and half foot tall lil yellow low part look like red ants might be eating the bark was 4 or 5 there at the hole on the steam of the plant

I am starting a Strawberry Amnesia from herbies seeds. I have scuffed the seed ends, and placed it in water. I will place the seed in the rockwool once it is showing a tail. Thank you Herbies seeds, and Spider Farmer. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
