Buds are starting to swell more. Terps are in your face! VPD 1.32 kpa

A little slow on putting up the volume. Don’t know the culprit. Co2 was elevated most of the time. Maybe the humidity was a bit too high.

Candy Rain Auto 🌱🍬🌧️ Week 1 Vegetation | After the Rain Comes Growth Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to the Candy Rain Auto diary. Last week’s update told the story of a second chance. After losing the first seedling during the earliest stages, this genetic was given another opportunity, and thankfully that decision is already proving worthwhile. Sometimes growing teaches us through success. Sometimes it teaches us through mistakes. And sometimes the most rewarding plants are the ones that make us try again. This week marks the beginning of that new chapter. ⸻ From Germination to Establishment Following successful germination and direct planting into Plagron Lightmix, Candy Rain Auto spent the week focusing on what every young plant should be doing: Building roots. Although most of the action happens beneath the soil surface, the photographs clearly show steady progress above ground as well. Each day brought a little more growth. A little more leaf development. A little more confidence. By the end of the week, the seedling had established itself successfully and was beginning the transition from simple survival into active vegetative growth. For a plant that started this journey on a second attempt, that’s exactly what we hoped to see. ⸻ Transplanting Into Her Final Home Like several of the other plants in this project, Candy Rain Auto was transplanted directly into her final container early in life. The objective is simple. Rather than forcing multiple transplant events throughout the grow, the plant can establish its root system immediately within the volume of substrate it will use for the remainder of its life. This minimizes stress and allows energy to remain focused on development rather than recovery. At this stage, what we see above the soil is only part of the story. The real work is happening underneath. ⸻ The Hidden World Beneath the Soil One of the most important additions during transplant was the application of mycorrhizal fungi. Many growers hear the term “mycorrhiza” but may not fully understand what it does. The relationship is actually one of nature’s most fascinating partnerships. Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic connection with plant roots. As the fungi colonize the root zone, they extend microscopic networks far beyond the reach of the roots themselves. Think of it as adding thousands of tiny extensions to the plant’s underground infrastructure. These fungal networks help improve access to: * Water * Phosphorus * Micronutrients * Trace elements * Soil biology interactions In exchange, the plant provides carbohydrates produced through photosynthesis. Both organisms benefit. It’s one of nature’s oldest and most successful partnerships. For young plants, establishing this relationship early can help create a stronger foundation for future development. While we cannot directly see those fungal networks working underground, the goal is to create a healthy living rhizosphere that supports the plant throughout its entire life cycle. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% ⚡ Light schedule: 12/12 from seed 🌱 Plagron nutrient program 💡 Future Of Grow Black Series LED lighting 💨 Gentle airflow and stable environmental control Consistency remains one of the most important factors during early development. Young plants respond exceptionally well when conditions remain predictable and stress-free. ⸻ Early Development Despite being younger than some of her sisters due to the restart, Candy Rain Auto spent the week making steady progress. Leaf color remained healthy. Stem development remained strong. Growth stayed compact and balanced. Each new photograph shows a little more confidence as the plant begins to settle into her environment. The first true leaves are developing nicely, and the newest growth emerging from the center indicates that root establishment is progressing exactly as intended. At this stage, patience is often rewarded. Healthy roots today become vigorous growth tomorrow. ⸻ A Reminder About Second Chances One of the things I enjoy most about documenting grows honestly is showing that mistakes happen. The first Candy Rain Auto never made it. That is simply part of cultivation. But instead of ending the story there, we adjusted the approach, learned from the experience, and tried again. This plant now stands as a reminder that one unsuccessful attempt doesn’t define the outcome. Sometimes success arrives on the second try. ⸻ First Impressions So far, Candy Rain Auto is doing exactly what a healthy young plant should be doing. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Steady growth. Successful root establishment. And a promising partnership already developing beneath the soil through the mycorrhizal network. Most importantly, she’s proving that the second attempt was absolutely worth it. ⸻ Looking Ahead The foundation has now been established. Over the coming weeks we’ll continue documenting her development under the 12/12-from-seed project while monitoring structure, vigor, growth rate, and any unique characteristics she chooses to reveal. For now, the focus remains simple: Build roots. Build strength. Build momentum. Because after every storm comes growth. And after every rain, sooner or later, the sun returns. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚🍬🌧️

Day 44-21/05/22 everything is looking good I might take them out tomorrow do some light defoliation and move them about abit not sure yet!!!! . Day 47-24/05/22 they look real good today!!!!

Week 5 of flower, looking 👍🏾

She's still trucking up some. Slowing down a little bit. But I'm gonna let them hairs speak for themselves cuz they're everywhere!!... The video was before I feed her the picture are after she was fed. Hope y'all like her. And I'm open and totally receiving to help this is my second time running dwc, first was a clone photo. Let me know what you think... Thanks

They all got very heavy and big buds, the plant/stems do not have just a chance to support the weight of the flowers on their own. Since I'm in lack of flower/smoke material currently, I chopped on D51 already one tree. Going to take care of the remaining in the upcoming days and will post next update once everything is dried. Smells lemony with a taste lavender flavor, a bit like a very masculine after shave. And it's very very stinky, leave it open in the basement and you are going to smell it also on the 3rd floor of the house. Grew the clone now the second time and nailed it this time much better. She's for sure a keeper. High yielding, fast flowering sativa like growing terp monster 🔥

Sensi Seeds JACK HERER 31st December 2019 It's the Last day of the year and the little Jack Herer has a brand new home along with my other Photoperiod Plants. I erected a 3m x 2m x 1.8m Green House That completely covers the whole area. This Green house will serve a few purposes such as protection from any Rain during Flowering, Prying Eyes and Potential animal interference. Ive topped her now at the 5th node and other than that she's been left to her own devices to grow and thrive as she wishes. Speaking of wishes,,,, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and I will be back Next Week for another Update. ***** The Video is of a visit from some Wild Red Tailed Black Cockatoos *******

All and all good, lots more growth. Flip the switch soon and see how much more they stretch in flower. Definitely has monster genes. Some fan leaves are bigger than a hand span. Watering sensitive but makes a quick recovery of over/under watered. Not long left now, happy growing peeps 💚🌿🌱

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]
