Greetings friends Allow me to introduce you to my first ever brand spanking new homemade self contained DWC hydroponic system. So for this small experimental cycle, I will be testing various nutritional additives and plant training techniques. I will be sure to record a daily log in order to optimize my progress. Please note I will not be including germination and drying time. Day 1 Mon, 16 July So after a few days germination and nurturing, the plants have been moved to their permanent home. I filled the reservoir with nutrients following the can a websites specific instructions. Day 2 Tue, 17 July I've noticed a small growth in height however, I had a small humidity dome which upon moving slightly damaged the leaves but I noticed some strange spots which may have been from the fertiliser. But I did follow the dosages exactly?? Day 4 Thurs, 18 July Note to self, maybe stick with clones seeing as you get straight into the vegging stage saving maybe a week or two. That and the fact they're free. Ok, so I had to completely empty all my reservoirs because I misinterpreted the CANNA websites feeding schedule. It said 0-3 weeks which I foolishly did not realise was post-germination/sapling. And also one of the smaller plants #3, actually fell over because it's roots still had not dug deep enough to feed on the reservoirs moisture. However, I almost literally saw it pop back up with a tad of rehydration. Note to self a good trick for future reference will be to fill the reservoir right up until it pretty much touches the net pot and then shrinks back down to that even 35L once I begin adding nutrients. Day 5 Fri, 18 July Ok, so I gathered a bit of Intel from my friendly neighbourhood hydroman. First off I can hold off buying the EC meter until next they enter the actual vegetative stage which apparently is between 3 to 5 internodes ( the space between nodes) until then I will be feeding them a fraction amount of veggie fertilizer and rhizotonic. Now, this swamp cooler thing has piqued my curiosity if I'm not mistaken dry ice converts to carbon dioxide which we all know plants love so, that means a swamp cooler can cool, raise humidity and increase co2? In the mean time, I was given a bag of homegrown co2 which I will photograph. This will also counter the high-temperature problems I have been having. Apparently, plants can withstand an additional 10 degrees with the addition of co2 that complemented by silica would prove to be invaluable in the summer. I will be purchasing a humidifier for my saplings soon and have decided to stick with weekly reservoirs, Peace out. Day 7 Sun, 21 July Note to self I think for my cycle if I used a short square shaped reservoirs and perhaps less litres next time with multiple net pots per reservoir and with clones I think that would greatly accelerate vegge time and thus shorter cycles in general Got myself a very good humidifier and added small amounts of vegge fertilizer to the none CANNA plants.

Chopping Time

👌🏻👌🏻

i think i will do HST to 4 main branches

I have introduced a second bottle of CO2 to pump flowering weeks, I have cut off nutrients completely to get rid of nutes burn, plants are been fed PH water only. For this run I have been using a DIY automated drip system that cost me less than $100, this system can be used to feed up to 10 plants, now I can go way for days without a worry :) if anyone is interested here is my Instagram video: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwm1kO0BTNC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Stay Lit folks 👩‍🌾🏻

08/09/2020 She is a little wilted but she will be fine water now.Gave her LAB earlier this week and feed her next week with Fox farms 4-9-3 fruit and bloom? I think? She will bounce back to life in about 10min.

È appena cominciata la 3°settimana, le mie bimbe crescono molto bene😍.. A breve comincerò con LST! Aggiornamento: Ieri sera ho effettuato topping su tutte e tre le piantine, in giornata inizierò LST per riuscire ad esporre il più possibile alla luce le foglie tra gli internodi! Ultimo aggiornamento: Ormai e quasi finita anche la 3°settimana, ho iniziato LST da un paio di giorni, ho notato che le prime foglioline presentano delle piccole macchie marroni ma credo che sia normale considerando che si tratta delle foglie più vecchie.. Per il resto le piantine sembrano in ottima salute!💪

In case you wondering why do I have three different temperature readings, well, before getting a thermometer I used the general atmosphere weather reading from humidity to temperature, however from day one of getting a thermometer I noticed my greenhouse different temperature readings depending where you place it, from moderate to cold in the shaded areas and hot, warm, moderate in areas where sunny, I had to erect my greenhouse in a secluded(out of sight corner of the yard) spot. This being a reason I need some solar lights, and fans for internal air flow, as self cooling as this house is, I need a stronger flow of air to stress my ladies to strengthen vertical growth.I still document the outdoor temperature and I take pictures of the indoor(greenhouse’ internal temperature) temperatures, to show the how the greenhouse is amplifying the heat and depending on which part of the greenhouse(shaded or direct sunlight), believe it or not the thermometers differ in reading even at night. The red mercury thermometer reading indicate temperatures in which my ladies are tanning in. Super Skunk I have a feeling she will be my biggest plant amongst the sextet I was wrong when I said Monday’s Blue would be the biggest… however I might be wrong again, all I need to do is remain consistent with watering, and I need to bite the bullet and buy a fan by the end of this month, the sunlight iSight not be direct on the plants however conditions keep these ladies healthy, nothing a solar flood would not fix, I will just need to get an yellow, orange, and red gels to cloak the light during flowering, yet my other problem is they will not flower at the same time, which I will fix in my next cycle, I’ll just get those gels for future grows, and I should not forget a blue gel for veg stag.

These girls got the chop at around 8.5 weeks looking pretty 🔥 lol

Hi Grow Diaries Fam, It' s the last week for those girls. It was a pleasure to grow her. Day 65 : It smells extremely strong. The neighbors are going to ask ❓❓ ❓. I think I'll have to cut earlier than expected.🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼 Day 67 : Harvest Day 😁😁😁😁 See you later for the taste test. Peace to all ✌️🏻✌️🏼✌️🏿✌️🏾✌️✌️🏽

Herzlich Willkommen zu meinem Growbericht der Black Runtz Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds. Die URL für den Strain findet Ihr hier: https://www.zamnesia.com/de/11159-zamnesia-seeds-black-runtz.html Für den Grow verwende ich die 9 Liter doppellagigen Stofftöpfe von ROOTIES. Sie haben sich bei meinem letzten Grow gut bewährt. Auch die Smart Start Plugs von Zamnesia werden wieder verwendet, dieses Mal ohne den Samen vorher einzuweichen. Und die Erde und der Dünger von BioBizz findet wieder Verwendung. Tag 51: Die Black Runtz von Zamnesia Seeds streckt sich immer noch mehr als 1 cm am Tag. Sie wächst dennoch etwas kompakter. Tag 53: Die Blüten haben eine guten Zuwachs. Auch bei ihr wurde nur der Hauptstamm gebogen. Schön, dass du dir mein Tagebuch angesehen hast. Bis bald. ✋😎

In this dairy I will be growing two, Big Kush photoperiod plants alongside 4 others (see other dairies) using the methods of Topping, Low Stress Training, ScrOG and slight defoliation under the screen. I am growing in a 4x4 area and will be using a 250W MH, 400W & 600W HPS over the grow period. The other 4 plants will be grown using the same technique and environment, I am just splitting the dairies into separate strains as recommended by GrowDairies. The seeds were placed directly into solo cups that were pre-soaked with plan, pH'd water overnight beforehand. After three days all seedlings had emerged, and I placed them in the shadow of my other plants currently being grown for three more days. After this I transplanted them directly into the 11L pots that they will be in until harvest (see photos). I will be growing the plants until the are roughly 6 weeks old or 1m tall, whichever comes first. I will be bending them and keeping the branches low to build an even canopy, so this time period could change. All of the seedlings are being grown in BioBizz all-mix soil, so I will not be using nutrients either for the first 1-2 weeks. Any questions or recommendations, please let me know! Thanks :)

🇺🇸 Grow Journal – Week 12 | Pineapple Upside Down (Veg) Week 12 of veg — the Pineapple Upside Down is cruising steady and looking stronger than ever. I’ve been letting her just do her thing, focusing on recovery and structure before deciding if I’ll top her later. At this stage, it’s all about patience and letting her build up natural vigor. Nutrient-wise, still running the Athena Blended line, holding the mix at EC 1.4. I’ve been experimenting with Athena Balance, and I have to say — it’s impressive. My base water pH usually fluctuates between 6.3 and 6.8, depending on the day. I add 1 ml of Balance, which actually brings it up close to pH 9.3. Once the nutrients are mixed in, the solution drops back down to around pH 7–7.2, and from there I fine-tune it with a touch of pH Down to land right around 6.0–6.1. I allow a gentle drift down to 5.8, but whenever it hits that mark, I bump it back up slightly to keep things steady around 6.1–6.2. Honestly, Athena keeps the reservoir incredibly clean — crystal clear every time. It’s one of those small details that really makes a difference when you’re running hydro long-term. Temperatures are holding around 22–23°C, with humidity between 70 and 75%, which keeps the environment perfect for steady vegetative growth. She’s lush, healthy, and just waiting for her turn in the flower tent — if I had more space, she’d probably be flipping already. That’s about it for this week — nothing flashy, just solid progress and patience. Can’t wait to see how she performs once she hits flower. Thanks for following along, growers — see you next week! ✌️🌿

Cactus Candy Kush wächst ganz gemütlich vor sich hin. Diese Woche habe ich einige Ladungen in meinem Pyrolyse Ofen verfeuert und dabei Stockbrot gebacken. Ich nutze die Kohle als Zugabe beim Kompostieren. So wird sie über ein Jahr lang zigmal von Würmern zusammen mit dem Kompostmaterial gefressen und wieder ausgeschieden. Dabei reichert sich die Kohle mit Stickstoff, Mikrobiologie und vielen anderen Nährstoffen an. Der reife Kohle-Kompost hat eine besondere Fähigkeit die Pflanze mit gespeichertem Wasser und allen Nährstoffen zu versorgen, die sie während des Wachstums und der Blüte benötigt.

Switched spots in tent to see if Purple Kush darkens up a bit. pH at 7 again over night, so I dropped it back down to pH 5.5 Next day Purple and Pink Kush had pH around 6, so I dropped it a little again. Is it normal for pH to change over time? Purple Kush still shows signs of getting darker leaves starting at the tips. I will give another 2 days to see if the lower pH helps. Purple Kush seems to be getting color back through out it's leaves. Not a gradual change, but blotchy dark green moving back in I hope. Pink Kush and Purple Maroc seem to enjoy the addition of a CO2 generator. I expect this time next week to have flowers on the Pink and Purple Kush. See you next week....

For 6 plants I got 415 grams which is so far, again my most yield to date. I think the light is deffo a factor plus the genetics help. It says it has up to 27% THC, it was deffo one of my favourites and I think I’ll be growing this again in the future. I’m terrible of explaining the smell and taste but it was really danky and a lot of my mates loved it.

She's looking suoer healthy just like her sisters she's got aa couple of burned leafs or something like that I don't know why this is happening because none of my plants have anything like that's,she's being fed the exact same way.apart from that she's very good and developing well.

Week 8 Update – Height Issues and Frosty Buds 🌿❄️ No major complaints this week—everything is under control, except for the height of AN#3… but Supercropping to the rescue! 😅 BioBizz#1 – BT30 She’s now using less water, managing 3L every 3 days. Bud development is steady, but compared to AN#4, she’s noticeably less frosty. AN#4 – BT30 This is officially my best and strongest plant so far—super frosty, even on the large fan leaves! 😍 She’s also down to 3.5L every 3 days and thriving. AN#3 – BT26 Not performing as well as the others, mainly due to the light distance. At times, there’s only 4cm clearance from the lamp! She’s definitely not loving it, but I’ve managed to keep things under control with Supercropping. I have to admit, the stretch on this strain caught me off guard, and I’m not entirely happy about it. 😅
