This week the growth has been explosive, I thought by the end of last week that it stopped growing but I was obviously wrong! I’ve done a little more light LST and also tucking the leaves behind one another in order to expose the bud sites to as much light as possible. I’ve stopped giving the plant the Madame grow Jamaican bloom 28-25 PK now and I’m just feeding it the canna A + B with CalMag every other day and this seems to be a good amount. Although I think I will increase it to every day soon as the plants are getting far less run off than they used to so I assume the plants are drinking a lot more and drying the coco out much quicker than before

Tag 56 - Ende der 8. Woche. Die Blüten werden weiterhin dicker und nehmen langsam ihre Form an. Die Stigmen haben sich schon vereinzelt verfärbt und fallen langsam ein. In der nächsten Woche werde ich den Dünger nochmal anpassen und langsam aber sicher damit beginnen, die trichome zu kontrollieren um den Zeitpunkt für die Spülung nicht zu verpassen. Wir beginnen nun mit der Blütewoche 6. Laut Hersteller dürfte die Pflanze noch etwa 2-3 Wochen brauchen, ich glaube das dürfte hinhauen. An Tag 50 wurde die Pflanze gedüngt. Nährstofflösung: 2 ml/l - B-52 Advanced Nutrients. 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part A 4 ml/l - pH Perfect Sensi Bloom Part B 2 ml/l - Bud Candy Advanced Nutrients. 2 ml/l - Big Bud Advanced Nutrients. Davon hat die Pflanze 1l an Tag 50 erhalten.

3. November Alle drei Pflanzen weiterhin topfit. Trauermücken aufgetreten. Habe das abgelaufene Päckchen nematoden für die runtz genutzt. Hoffe es bringt was 4. November Cookies Gelato hat den harten Mainlinecut bekommen. Spitze wurde entfernt, Seitenteile wurden direkt danach abgeschnitten. Sie wird’s schon wegstecken. Tropimango und runtz geht’s gut :) Cookie gelato hat bereits wenige Stunden später die Blätter wieder hoch gestreckt. Stagniert. 5. November Alles gut. Die Schnitte wurden gut verkraftet. Triebe wachsen wieder Cookies gelato ist nun 21 Tage alt. Tropimango ist nun 18 Tage alt. Runtz ist nun 7 Tage Alt. 7. November Cookies gelato wächst. Sobald die Klammern da sind wird sie runtergebunden Tropimango hat schnitte und Lst bekommen. Topping werde ich noch abwarten. Runtz wächst 8. November Cookies gelato hat LST + mainlineschnitte erhalten. Wurde nicht mit gießen kombiniert da ich gestern gegossen habe. Tropimango erneut LST. Runtz wächst. Sieht aus als würde sie langsam ins Wachstum wechseln. Erster Triebe am einzahnblatt kommen. Dreizahnblatt erst frisch entwickelt. 9. November Cookies gelato wurde das erste mal zusätzlich mit Sugar Royal und calmag versorgt. Hab’s davor vergessen 😅 Shit Happens. Wurzeldünger gibt es konstant weiter. Runtz wurde mit wurzeldünger und calmag versorgt Tropimango hat noch sehr feuchte Erde. Keine Ahnung wieso.

I'm really happy with how they are doing. This strain or pheno's i got are stacking like crazy, and there's already a Distinct smell around these two. I'm tempted to do a full run of these badgirls in the near future. Rock on Growmies 🌱

What a season so far. The three photoperiod girls are looking very impressive thus far. Their growth rate has slowed to about a half inch per day, and the signs of early flowering are appearing. 3/6 Sprayed with Mammoth CannControl 3/10 Light top dressing with Bu's Blend + Custom Amendment Mix

Day 84 - June 25 June 25 - 09.30AM Trichomes still not ready at 50/50 milky to cloudy. Soil is still moist. Will water either late this evening or tomorrow morning. I suspect this will be the second or last watering before chop. June 25 - 09.00PM Removed a dead leaf - I want to remove some of the dying leaves on the colas, as underside of plant has a beautiful purple hue to the leaves. June 26 - 08.45AM Trichomes are starting to turn milky, with 60/40 milky to cloudy ratio. Will water this evening as pot is getting lighter + soil isn't as moist. June 26 - 01.20PM Purple is here. I think it's time to chop tomorrow as I'm seeing more ambers. I'm noticing some bright green growth which I hope isn't the start of nanners. June 26 - 01.20PM Watered 3L. Chop tomorrow. June 27 - 00.00AM CHOPPED (Day 86). . June 27 - 00.00AM Inspected detached calyx with strange (I suspect pistil) growth. Many amber trichomes found. Strange, given colas I inspected were all cloudy with no amber, but this calyx (located at centre of plant) had plenty of amber trichomes. Perhaps this is due to recieving a higher than expected DLI at hotspot of light. . June 27 - 00.00AM Underside of Buds are underdeveloped in comparison - easily due to light blockage. I aimed not to defoliate as she entered flower, but perhaps with better LST and leaf tucking I could've produced more even yield. . June 27 - 00.00AM Trimmed Fan leaves and mostly necrotic foliage - want to avoid bud-rot at all costs, but I may have over-defoliated. . June 27 - 00.00AM Drying hanging upside down with oscilating fan above (2/10) and one beneath driving air toward a wall of the tent. There's also an extraction fan at the top of the tent. . June 27 - 00.00AM Humidity 60-62% & Temperature 64-66F. . June 27 - 02.45PM Temperature is rising in the tent to 69F, inside a sealed bathroom room. Sealed Bathroom offers no light leakage, but I might need to open the door and allow light + cool air in. . June 27 - 03.45PM Moved tent out of bathroom to get cooler air. Tent temperature was just under 70F. I've likely lost some flavour over a few hours - but now that it's in a cooler environment (with slight light leakage) - things should improve. . June 27 - 03.45PM Temperature & Humidity are 66F and 60% respectively. . June 27 - 04.00PM (16 hours since chop) . June 27 - 04.05PM Added portable cooling unit to intake, this should drop temperature by a degree or two hopefully. Ensured Fans weren't directly in path of buds. . June 27 - 04.30PM Humidity is 66%, I've increased oscilating fan speed to 5/10 to combat this. . June 27 - 08.50PM Humidity is 60%. Temperature is 66F . July 1 - 09.00PM Branches still bend - not snap. Will trim and start cure process tomorrow. Leaves shrivelled up. . July 2 - 10.00AM Rough Trim, and placed into cure jars. 58% RH and 60% RH Probably should have harvested last night. Will maintain RH in jars via burping. Roughly 2oz (56g) of bud harvested.

Day 37 - Everything looks good.... they are drinking so much.... i built a bit more stable light setup, and i'll need to buy afew more plugs and stuff, to fill it out ...... i organised all the 2700k globes, ready to swap in..... still waiting on the exhaust fan, so i'll keep em in "grow" mode another week or 2 .... i'm vaping a leaf or 2, and drinking "green tea hot chocolates" .... it is so delicious in hot chocolate .... my health has picked up since starting the vape/drinks... the 21 thc/19 cbd is supa healthy ... Day 38 - Getting them ready for Flower, noticed they are lacking in nutrients, so i started em on the heavier dutch master gold flower nutrients. Day 40 - Added some pics. (they look droopy because they in night mode, just turned on lights for pic) - Started them on 12/12 flower, still working on getting all the lights, gear, and globes, for the right spectrum and amount of light.... atm got - 7x 2700k (click) , 2x 6400k (osram), + 60w light panel .... i'll go get some more gear today and hope to expand it to 10x 2700k , 2x 6400k ...... I put the exhaust filter fan on seperate power, so it doesn't go on/off with the timer, but stays on all the time.... it totally fixed up any odour problems, haha ....... Added some different pics for my light spectrum ... etc..... the outside winter temp is now at 40-60oF (5-15oC) so with the 12/12h, the temp inside the tent is dropping to 60-80oF (18-22oC), abit low, but flowering is supposed to be in winter, so idk, see how it goes..... I'm new to growing, so idk how this will work out....... just working it as i go.... i noticed afew spots on a leaf, so i upped the neuts abit more, they are still drinking like fish, huge amounts.... Day 40 late - new vids - Got the extra gear and installed it all... redesigned the initial setup, refined it with proper measurements, had to get my steel rule out, lol....... got the 12 leds in and running, 10x 2700k clicks, and 2x 6400k osrams, with the panel..... it's lookin beautiful and got the exhaust on 24 hrs now, all working perfect with 12/12 timer.... they are forming a few spots on leaves, so hammering the nute water into them now... they are drinkin 1-2 litre of nute water a day each.... (nute water = Dutch mater gold one grow/flower, 800-1000 ppm 6 PH) 😎 Some details about lights.... i did some maths on it, and included some handy pics..... because i'm using cheap leds, i'm keeping the distance at 25cm, they are leds so they won't burn, and it massively increases the lumens/lux/Par, and with my home built light setup, the leds are spread out enough to keep it lower.... worked out good..... something of note is that all the led globes are built/made in china... however different marketing/selling companies from around the world... and the german osrams are 1w leds ... by far the most superior, but anyone can design and send the requirements to china to build em, haha) it's not a contest, we all work together.... haha.... the person with the best led light globes gets my business, because i want the best for my babies.... :) (let me explain- 1w led vs 0.5 w led, the watt of the led projects the light, lumens, LX/PAR etc much further the higher the watt of the led....my 600w panel has 0.5w leds, the philips has 0.75, the osrams have 1w leds..... ) each globe philips (dutch)- 10.5w internal - 14 leds 0.75w 1055 lumens each globe osram (german)- 10.5w internal - 10 leds 1w 1080 lumens each globe click (cheap)- 9w internal - 16 leds 0.56w 800 lumens light panel - 70w - 600w 30 red - 8 red 12 blue - 8 white 7500k 1 ir - 1 uv = 20x blue 6400k - 38x red 2700k internal - 60 double leds - 120x0.5w 6000 lm

pH was still leaning towards the low side earlier in the week, but by Saturday's watering, pH is within desired range. Indoor AC unit is broken this week (will be replaced by next week) - but have been improvising to perform temperature control inside the tent as much as possible. Daytime light is currently set for overnight, as to mitigate overheating during summer months. During this week while we are improvising, the focus is on keeping the tent temperature as close to 80 degrees F (ideally below, but with outdoor air temps being around 100 daily, this is difficult this week). Using ice buckets and multiple oscillating fans to control the temperature as much as possible. Plants are under some stress from this, but leaves are not wilting and are only slightly discolored on some of the tips, which has improved with Saturday's heavy nutrient feed. Will update next week once AC unit is back and tent conditions are more under control, but thankfully plants seem to be making it through, and should bounce back quickly once conditions are back to normal. Nutrient type was switched to Fox Farm Big Bloom; a heavy feeding was performed on Saturday as the plants were a bit nutrient deficient, but will return to maintenance feedings on next feeding. Tuesday's Watering: Plant 2 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.41) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Plant 3 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.56) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Plant 4 - 1.25 gallons of water (pH: 5.91) - 0.5 tsp/gal of Bergman's Plant Booster Saturday's Watering: Plant 2 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.43) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 28.74 in Plant 3 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.27) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 23.23 in Plant 4 - 1.5 gallons of water (pH: 6.54) - 1/2 cup/gallon of Fox Farm Big Bloom (heavy feeding) - Height: 27.56 in ***General Hydroponics pH UP solution added. Will hold on next feed to re-assess where pH levels sit, now that they are within desired range.

Lots of growth this week and working to solve the humidity issues. I think it's probably because of the size of my pots but these girls just won't stop growing! I think I'm going to have to consider some defoliation for her next week. I noticed some rust spots on some of the leaves this week, I'm fairly certain that it's down to the humidity. Where leaves were gathering condensation they seem to have discoloured, probably because of magnifying the light - I'm just a beginner though so I'm happy for other people's opinions. I've kept feeding her a little bloom every couple of days, there was a little bit of yellowing to the tips of some leaves which I though could be down to nute burn but I'm not too worried about it at the moment. I think this plant has overtaken the Jack Herer now, she seems to be flowering a lot more. She smells divine - really strong citrus notes, I think she's going to be tasty! To fix the humidity issues I diverted the extraction duct to another room which seems to have made a big difference, RH is now consistently under 57% and usually around 55% - still not ideal but I don't think I'll get it much lower. I've moved the fan so that there's plenty of air moving over the canopy - hopefully enough to keep away the mould as the grow progresses.

Not much to mention, everything in cruise control. The Mephisto NCH is just a side note at this point. After a month I can say it will be a micro plant. So from here the Height numbers in the Info section will be referring to the DeadHead OG clones. They are just doing their thing. Just light waterings on tuesday and Friday, plain water ph7.0 I am going to put them into a 24 dark Cycle starting tomorrow after lights out. And then they will go into the flower closet to be flipped. Monday 3/7 I started soaking a Mephisto Pink Panama Auto. I will include this auto into this diary as it will probably still be in the same time frame as the Photo plants. And it will be reared the same as all the other plants. Again it was soaked in the same H2O2 solution and successful at cracking in 12 hours. Paper toweled for another 12 hrs and then into root cube. Seedling emerged and has first set of leaves after 1 week from soak. It already has a nice thick stem so we will see. Not much else to report. The beauty of living soil. Included is a little Aquaponic Garden Video. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Tuesday’s foliar spray (Vita Race) gave leaves a pep talk. Thursday’s bigger watering (700–1200ml) and Saturday’s 10L batch (1.2 EC, 660 PPM, 1.5–2L per plant) kept soil happy, though runoff hit high (2.7 EC, 1100–1500 PPM). LST started Friday on the fabric pot plant, hitting all plants by Saturday. Lights bumped to 40% @ 25cm, PPFD 420–490. CO₂ dipped to 420 ppm Sunday. 😬 Lessons: → Nutrient Caution: High runoff (2.7 EC) suggests overfeeding. Dial back nutrients for autos next time. → LST Timing: Starting LST mid-week boosted growth—keep it gentle and early! 🌿 → VPD Spike: Sunday’s 1.6 VPD stressed plants. Aim for 0.8–1.2 to keep them comfy. 💨 → Foliar Win: Tuesday’s spray worked; use sparingly at lights-off for max uptake. 🌫️ Takeaway: Plants are thriving, but need to watch nutrient strength and VPD to avoid stress. Keep LST and light tweaks coming!

Week 8 - Dead line is coming, starting week 8 of flowering. The routine is maintained, feeding only with water. The pistils take on an orange color. I think Gorilla Girl will pass 10 weeks of flowering.

Each of these girls are growing more each day, the fim has slowed the most as she reaches 24" tall. Topping this strain a little late has turned out well so far I'm very happy with the way she's looking. But the natural two are beautiful if I say so myself. The largest of the four has purple streaks starting from the bottom stretching up all the stems and the oldest leaves are starting to go crisp at the tips but the new growth and bud sites are healthy. Any info on that would be great thanks.
