Please like and follow my diary and check out my others!! Would appreciate the support🙏 Ok guys week 4 starting now and these girls have gotten all bushy and lushy!! I am just now setting up and starting to play around with time lapses lol here are my tester videos to start. Any pointers and tips would be greatly appreciated👏 Soo the girls are doing great done a little lst and neem oil applied last night for pest prevention I wanted to bend down their main stems and do a little hst but unfortunately their main stemsare waaaay to thick for it, I'll add some pics later Ok and as for feeding we are following the advanced nutrients feeding schedule I have measured EC and PPM this time but i need to go find my notes will add it into this weeks diary *update* 1.5l water per plant EC 1.3 PPM 650 ............. Ok that's it for now I've got another time lapse running so I'll add that one later today too!

3.23.2024: Start of week 10. Day 60 from sprout. Moving along nicely. Did some defoliation to open everything up. Main cola is legit. One of the side branches is almost as big as the main cola. Bought a loupe and trichomes are just slight turning milky but only in a few spots. Some purpling but def not to the level of some of the other pheno's i've seen which is kinda a bummer. 3.24.2024: Day 61. Fed 1/4 strength nutes. 96oz of 6.5ph. Got stoned last night and did some more defoliation. 3.25.2024: Day 62. ZZZzzzZZzzz 3.26.2024: Day 63. 96oz at 6.5ph. Runoff ppm at 730. 3.27.2024: Da 64. ZZzzzZZz 3.28.2024: Day 65. just the tiger bloom and cal mag today at 1/4 strength. 96oz at 6.49ph. 3.29.2024: Day 66. End of week 9. Trichomes starting to get milky. Maybe 70/30?

....Understanding Electrical Conductivity Electrical conductivity measures a material’s ability to transmit electric current, which in the context of gardening, relates to the soil or nutrient solution’s ion content. In simpler terms, EC indicates how salty the environment is around the roots of a plant. This “saltiness” is crucial because it affects the plant’s osmotic pressure, which in turn influences nutrient uptake and overall plant health. The Science Behind EC At its core, EC measures the presence of soluble ions like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and nitrates – all vital nutrients for plant growth. These ions carry electrical charges, and their movement creates an electrical current, detectable as conductivity. High EC levels typically mean a high concentration of dissolved ions, whereas low EC levels indicate fewer nutrients are available. The Impact of Electrical Conductivity on Plant Growth The relationship between EC and plant growth is a delicate balance. Just the right EC level can enhance nutrient uptake, bolster plant health, and increase yields. However, when EC levels stray too far from the optimal range, they can lead to nutrient imbalances, osmotic stress, and even plant death. Nutrient Uptake and EC Levels Plants absorb nutrients from the soil or water through their roots, a process influenced by the surrounding EC levels. Ideal EC levels help create an optimal environment for this exchange, ensuring plants receive the nutrients they need without exerting excessive energy. High EC Levels: A Double-Edged Sword While a certain level of dissolved ions is beneficial, excessively high EC levels can harm plants. High salinity can draw water out of plant cells, leading to dehydration and nutrient lockout – a condition where plants cannot absorb essential nutrients despite their presence. Low EC Levels: Undernourished Gardens Conversely, low EC levels can starve plants of necessary nutrients, stunt growth, and lead to underdeveloped or diseased plants. Maintaining an optimal EC range is crucial for healthy plant development. Measuring and Adjusting Electrical Conductivity Understanding the importance of EC is one thing, but applying this knowledge in the garden or greenhouse requires practical steps. Regular monitoring and adjustment can ensure that plants remain in a conducive growth environment. Tools for Measuring EC Gardeners can use various tools to measure EC, from simple handheld meters to more sophisticated systems integrated into hydroponic setups. Regular monitoring allows for timely adjustments to soil or nutrient solutions, ensuring optimal EC levels. Adjusting EC for Optimal Growth Adjusting EC involves changing the concentration of nutrients in the soil or solution. In hydroponics, this might mean diluting or concentrating the nutrient solution. In soil, amendments may be added or flushed with water to correct EC levels. Practical Applications: EC in Various Growing Environments The application of EC knowledge varies across different growing environments, from traditional soil-based gardens to modern hydroponic systems. Soil Gardening In soil, EC measurements can help diagnose nutrient imbalances and guide fertilization practices. Amending soil with organic matter or flushing with water can adjust EC levels to better support plant growth. Hydroponics and Aquaponics In hydroponic and aquaponic systems, where plants are grown in water-based solutions, maintaining optimal EC levels is crucial for nutrient availability. These systems allow for precise control of EC, directly influencing plant health and yield. Greenhouse Cultivation In greenhouses, EC monitoring can help manage the nutritional status of various plants, ensuring that each receives the right nutrient mix for optimal growth. Automated systems can provide real-time EC adjustments based on plant needs. Navigating Challenges: Overcoming EC-Related Issues While maintaining optimal EC levels can significantly enhance plant growth, gardeners may encounter challenges such as fluctuating conditions, equipment malfunctions, or environmental stresses. Regular monitoring, combined with a solid understanding of each plant’s specific needs, can mitigate these issues. Conclusion: The Conductive Path to Lush Gardens Electrical conductivity, though an invisible factor, is a cornerstone of successful gardening and farming. By understanding and managing EC levels, gardeners and farmers can profoundly influence the health and productivity of their plants. As we continue to explore the nuances of plant growth, the role of EC stands out as a testament to the marriage of science and nature in cultivating life. Whether in soil, water, or air, mastering the art of electrical conductivity can unlock the full potential of our green companions, leading to bountiful harvests and vibrant gardens.

this is the last week of growing I just want to say that to this point I didn't know what I was doing . at that time I bought a book and read it so I could understand more about what I should do.

Hola cultivetas! agregue humus al sustrato que estoy usando y sobrefertilice. Las hojas se empezaron a poner verde oscuro y algunas puntas se doblan hacia dentro. Solo me queda esperar a que se limpie. Vienen muy bien. Creciendo bastante. Buenos humos!

D85/FD57 - As per last weeks update, no real change in the SCP. Pistils peaching up so ripening beginning. The Cull of the Cookies has brought down the humidity by 10-15% in the tent so hopefully that will lend itself to saving these girls from "The Cheese"!!! Couple of really decent colas in there so I would be heartbroken binning bud like I did with the cookies!!! With the work last night culling the Cookies, I was lazy tonight, just did an add back (Didnt clean the ilma out like I do every week). Put in at normal ratio's but as the base water was EC0.7 (Rather than 0.2), the same recipe took me up to 1.5 (I should have adjusted but seeing as I dont know whats out, i'd rather give enough of whats needed and just dilute through the week (even if daily!!!). Expecting water consumption to drop now with the cookies halved in size and now just waiting on the ripening! Anyway, happy growing all!!! 💪

Green Cure cbd auto is looking to be a neat grow. I did some lst today on her and selective defoliation. She has started showing her first pistils. I need to start double watering her in a day. She has been getting dried out. So I will be starting to do thar. Everything is looking great. She looks like she may develop into a nice looking bush. I am curious to see how she turns out. Thank you Zamnesia seeds, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

FLORAISON JOUR 43 : les buds principales semblent presque bonnes à récolter, mais ceux d'en bas ne le sont pas. Je crois que je vais récolter en deux temps, le haut d'abord et ensuite le bas. Et dans quelques jours je vais commencer à rincer le sol avec du Grotek Final Flush ( de 7 à 10 jours avant la récolte à raison de 20ml/10 litres d'eau ). J44 : arrosage sol : 2L ( Terra bloom 10ml, Plagron Sugar Royal 6ml ) J45 : arrosage sol à l'eau 3L. J46 : arrosage sol à l'eau 1L. Les buds continuent à grandir et grossir, tout va bien. J47 : Arrosage sol/feuilles 2L : TBloom 5ml, SugarRoyal 3ml. J48 : Arrosage sol/feuilles 2L : TBloom 2ml, SR 1ml. Toujours en progrès, la Force est avec lui. J49 : Arrosage feuilles 0.5L eau

Week 2 and everything is going great so far • They are still being fed twice a day (for 12 minutes) same as last week. • The EC value has been increased this week because midway through last week the nutrient tank reduced in strength, meaning they were drinking slightly more water than nutrients. The aim is to keep the EC value the same as the water level drops throughout the week. • The pH has been increased for this week too. • The only plans for plant manipulation this week is to climb under the canope and pull down any tall bud sites to the same level as the rest. That's it, all trimming and bending is complete. • Midweek foliar spray with BioTabs BoomBoom spray.

J-64 rinçage eau (pH6.5) Les Forbidden Runtz sont très collante, petites plantes mais des belles têtes, grosses et compactes 👌 J-66 rinçage eau (pH6.5) J-67 les Forbidden Runtz seront prêtes pour la récolte de ce samedi. Elles ne montre pas trop de signe de carence malgré le rinçage de plus de 10 jours, contrairement aux Fastberry qui en plus ne sont pas prête. J-69 récolte des 2 Forbidden Runtz 😁 grosses têtes collantes, dures et très odorantes ! C'est parti pour le séchage. Toujours en période de rinçage pour les Fastberry.
