🌿 Week 11: Frosty Heights & Real Talk (Flower Week 6) First off, apologies for the slight delay! Usually, I drop these updates on Monday, but I was out celebrating my 25th birthday yesterday and, well... let’s just say things got a little out of control, haha! But I'm back in the tent now, and the girls didn't seem to mind the extra day of peace. Welcome to Week 11. We are deep in the flowering phase (Week 6), and the tent is looking like a winter wonderland. But let’s keep it real – while the frost is insane, it hasn't been a "perfect" run since it’s my first experience with living soil. Here’s the honest breakdown. 🛠️ The Big Defoliation & Adjustments The canopy got so thick that I had to perform one last major defoliation. I removed a significant amount of the large fan leaves that were shading the lower bud sites. It’s always a tough call this late in the game, but it was absolutely necessary to get that light penetration down to the secondary colas and improve RH. Combined with raising the entire tent to save the tops from light stress, the environment is now much more balanced. If you look closely at some of the upper leaves, you can still see a bit of "tacoing" (curling edges) from the previous light intensity and buds on the top of the sweet spot are not very well bulked because of heat stress by light. I caught it likely and the "scars" remained. 🌱 Organic Struggles & Success The "Autumn Fade" is hitting harder than I expected. The remaining fan leaves are yellowing quite aggressively. In living soil, this usually means the nitrogen is running low what I read as the plant focuses everything on the buds. I’m letting nature take its course, but I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure they have enough gas to reach the finish line. • The Scrog Management: My canopy isn't perfectly level. I have a few "underdogs" getting shadowed by the main colas even after the defoliation. It’s a lesson for next time – I need to be even more aggressive with LST early on to keep everything in one uniform plane. 📊 Stats & Environment: • Genetics: Banana Purple Punch Auto (FastBuds) • Status: Bulking phase. • RH: Dropped to 45%-40% – absolutely critical now to prevent any bud rot in these dense clusters. • Temp: 22-26°C. • Aroma: A heavy mix of tropical fruit sweets and gassy undertones. It’s not a catalog grow, it’s a real grow. The "girls" are finishing strong despite the big hiccups. Thanks for riding along with me growmies, one love! 💜🤜🏼🤛🏻 Wondrej

My girls are growing wonderfully. Pineapple and Cheese are getting bigger and bigger, and you can start to smell them. Bubblegum has taken its time, but it too is full of resin and will probably be the last of the harvest. I decided to start giving Overdrive to the Skunk to try to add consistency to the flowers, which are still very sparse, and it already seems to be working. This is my first run with Advanced Nutrients and I'm pleasantly surprised!

Ок, начинаем битву двух якодзун 😁 В этот раз я не буду никуда спешить, хочу всё сделать идеально. Присаживайтесь поудобнее, полёт будет долгим. В помещении, где находится бокс, сейчас довольно сухо, поэтому у меня появился увалажнитель воздуха, объема резервуара хватает как раз на сутки. К концу первой недели подсыпал кокос в горшочки - мне не нужны слишком вытянутые растения, и так мне будет легче их доставать при пересадке, которую планирую на следующей неделе. Тогда же и начну давать базовое питание. Пока всё хорошо. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

7/6 Plants looked great thos morning. I WATERED A GALLON to the 50 and split one between the two tens. Top of the bags are still moist amd they still have some heft. I'm hoping this will at least carry me 48hrs. These are BIG plants and the wind goes right through those bags and dries them out. I'd rather have that though than worry about overwatering. I noticed some minor deficiencies on a couple plants so it's time to start the nutes. Calcium I'd guess. Just a beginning stage but it's time. Next feeding they'll get some food too. I'll still monitor during the day to make sure they ront dry out. It's amazing how fast they come back after they dry out but it stresses them. EDIT: I WENT OVER AROUND 2OM AND IT WAS OVERCAST AND 83°. ALL THE PLANTS LOOKED GREAT AND ALL OF THEM WERE STILL SLIGHTLY NOIST EXCEPT THE 10TH PLANET. THEY ALL HAD SOME HEFT TO THEM TOO. THE SUN IS OUT BRIGHTER NOW BUT IT MAY RAIN TONIGHT AND CONSIDERING HOW GOOD THE PLANTS LOOKED I THINK IVE FOUND MY CORRECT WATERING RATIO. IM NOT GOIMG TO 9VET WATER IN THESE GROW BAGS WITH ALL THIS WIND. I NOTICED SOME FOUR LINED PLANT BUG MARKS ON ONE OF THE LITTLE PLANTS AND REMOVED A FEW LEAVES FROM THAT THIRSTY 10TH PLANET THAT COULD BE SEPTORIA. IM GOING TO TREAT IT BUT I HAVENT DECIDED WITH WHAT YET. I MEAN I NEED TO MAKE SURE ITS NOT JUST PESTS OR WATER SPLASHES FIRST TOO. I'VE BEEN PRETTY SANITARY THIS YEAR. IF I HAD A PLANT THAT DIDNT RESPOND TO TREATMENT AND IT WAS INDEED LEAF SEPTORIA I THINK ID RATHER SACRIFICE THE PLANT THAN RISK SPREADING IT. IM PROBABLY JUMPING THE GUN BUT I NEED TO BE READY IN CASE THAT'S THE CASE. IF NOT FOR LOCAL LAWS I WOULD THE PLANT ISOLATED. BUT IM TALKING I PULLED MAYBE FOUR LEAVES OUT OF THE LEAFIEST BUNCH AND INSPECTED EVERYTHING. 7/7 We got thunder storms last in the afternoon and last night. For at least 45 mins it rained harder than I've EVER seen it. Pure sheet rain. It turned over to heavy rain before moving out. The plan was to water everything this morning and start feeding. As I said in the video the soul was still moist amd the bags still had some heft. Not like I just watered them though. I stopped by a local dispo on my way home and talked with the best grower I personally know (thanks Junior) and his advice was the same as what I was planning. I planned on going around noon to check them. He said I could probably wait until like six and then when I do water give them like a 1 1/2 gallons to make up for that monsoon we had earlier. I showed him the video and explained how I have been watering. My intuition feels good about this. I may go check on them earlier but I don't think it's necessary. As usual I'll update as I go. EDIT: AS SUGGESTED (WELL I SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE) I WENT OVER TO FIND ALL NY PLANTS LOOKING GORGEOUS EXCEPT THE 10TH PLANET REVEG THAT WAS A "LITTLE" SAGGY. I LIFTED THEM AND FELT THE SOIL IN THE BAGS. I DECIDED ON WATERING AS PLANNED EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT HAVE MADE IT UNTIL NORNING. THIS WAS MY WATERING DAY ANYWAY. HOWEVER I ONLY WATERED 1 GAL PER 20 1.5 FOR 30 AND .5 FOR 10. I THINK THAT WILL WORK OUT GREAT WITH THE UPCOMING COOLER TEMPS. IT WAS SO HOT. DIDNT HAVE TIME BUT SHIT IS LOOKING GOOD. 7/8 Finally that hot streak has broken. It's in the 70s and it rained a little last night. Had to use an iPhone and send it to me because my phone was dead. My plan worked out great and everything is looking fantastic. We may get some rain tonight but I'll be watching the forecast. I DO need to feed and may do that. I might wait until next week. I also need to figure out what to do about that four lined plant bug. The birds that perch on my cage do a good job getting pests. Knock on wood I haven't seen many. I killed one pillar and there's just that four lined plant bug. That's really the only damage. I'd Hate to spray my girls with a bunch of shit over ONE bug. We shall see and I'll keep this updated. 7/9 Phone was dead this morning. Went back over later and defoliated a little bit. On reveg ive found a few spots that look like it could be septoria. Could be splash up or a million other things too. The birds have been taking care of pillars. I've found two this season which were promptly killed. Everything looked good. We are in much cooler weather now. Still high 70s with at least 90%rh. Could have showers but I need to keep up with my watering. I kept with the increase and watered everything with 2 gallons. With the exception of the 50 and the two 10's the 50 I skipped and each 10 got 1 gallon. Now it's time for a shout out. I get my seeds from North atlantic seed company. They have a sister company @dirtybirdgenetics which produces amazing strains that flourish in Maine. N.A.S.C has always used me good but this will be my first dirty bird grow next year. None of this was necessary but it's greatly appreciated. The hand written note put a huge smile on my face. 7/10 Rained last night. Phone won't charge so I used an iPhone and uploaded some pictures and a video. Plants are looking good but I've noticed "a" leaf with pillar markings. It's time to start feeding. I'm not sure if I'll start tonight or next watering. I'm not really sure. Any deficiencies are minor. I need to check my supply and see what I'm going to use. I'm suprised I haven't seen any wpm (knock on wood) with rh so high and "rolling mists". Happy 7/10 to those that indulge in oil. 7/11 Hurried morning. Watered this morning. I watered the ones that drink more with two gallons and a couple that were heavier got 1.5 gallons and the 10's got about a gallon apiece. I also fed for the first time this year. Plants are still in that transition stage and are starting to stretch. I still have nutes left on hand. I used I tsp grow big, .5 tsp cal mag and 2 tsp big bloom (per gallon) just to see how they react. I mixed two gallons and gave everything a little less than a powerade bottle I think is 1.75 pints. I can tell that some of the leaves aren't as lush green as they were. It's time to start feeding. Probably past time. Next year I'll probably go organic all the way bit this year I'm just going to be doing the same thing I have in years past. If it's not broke don't fix it. I have liquid kool bloom and some other nutes for later on in flowering. I'll be looking at nutes today but I'll probably stick with what I've been using. I also am considering plant doctor for the 10th planet that LOOKS like it may have a small case of septoria and I'm not even sure. It looks like splash back to me but we'll see. No wpm so far though. The birds are really doing great with pest control. I'll still be using BT a little bit later on. 7/12 Plants looked great this morning. I decided that if I treat its going to be with plant doctor. Most plants have hairs so I'm reluctant to use copper. I'm reluctant in general. But the plant that seems to expose a leave or two is a reveg and will be the first one thatci treat. I also went to get nutes and found my grow store turned into a "feed" store. I bought some fresh big bloom as that's all that was available. Then after purchase the cashier explained they still HAD the NUMERIOUS shelves of nutes (pretty much everything) but it took up to much room and was "spilling" the legit are wasting store space on packaged seeds opposed to the high end nutes they are known for. Whatever. I'm doing what my buddy said and to do what I do every year. If its not broke don't fix it. I'm think9ng of treating with plant doctor tomm. Or next watering. EDIT: ONE MORE VIDEO. WENT OVER AROUND FOUR AND PLANTS ALL LOOK HAPPY. THEY LIKED THE NUTES BUT I ASSUME I'LL HAVE TO UP THE REGINEN. SEEING HOW THE WEATHER IS COOLER ILL PROBABLY WATER EVERYTHING A LITTLE LESS. ILL TREAT THE INFECTED 10TH PLANET WITH PLANT DOCTOR AFTER I WATER. PLANTS ARE IN THAT ASPARGUS STAGE AND QRE EXPERIENCING SOME STRETCHING. I'VE DEALT WITH SEPTORIA A FEW TIMES. IF I WAS ABLE TO ID ISOLATE THE PLANT. I GO MYLTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND MAKE SURE THETE IS NO INFECTED GROWTH. LUCKILY (OR POSSIBLY UNLUCKILY AS IT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO ITS INFECTION) ITS A REVEG SO IT HAS LITERALLY TONS OF FOLIAGE. INSTEAD OF PRUNING IVE JUST REMOVED THE LEAVES THAT A SORE LANDED ON. I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THESE GIRLS FLOWER.

Hey there, fellow growers! 👋🌱 I hope you're all doing fantastic as we embark on week 4. 🌿✨ Once again, I'm working with Mephisto seeds, and just like before, they've begun flowering right on schedule. 🌼🕰️ It's truly mesmerizing how consistently they kickstart their blooming phase on week 4, precisely on day 22. ⏳🌸 My plants are thriving and looking absolutely splendid at the moment. 🌿😄 As I continue my journey with autos, I'm still fine-tuning their feeding regimen, steadily making progress. 💪🍃 The growth rate of these plants never ceases to amaze me. One strain that's capturing my attention is the magnificent Forgotten Cookies x Strawberry Nuggets. 🌱🌟 It has grown into an impressively huge specimen. And guess what? I still have three reserved seeds of this remarkable strain, patiently waiting for their turn in my next grow. 🌱🔒 Let's keep the spirit of the green thumb alive and vibrant as we share our experiences. 🌿🌱✨ I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing updates from each and every one of you! Happy growing, my fellow enthusiasts! 🌿🌱🌞 On day 26, I had a bit of a scare as I nearly lost three of my plants due to underwatering. 🌧️💦 However, I swiftly took action and adjusted my watering routine. Now, I'm giving each plant 1 liter of water, ensuring they receive the perfect amount of hydration. It's all about striking that delicate balance. 💧💚 Moving on to day 27, I'm happy to report that the plants are showing signs of improvement. I decided to raise the lights by 5cm, bringing them to a hanging height of 55cm from the plants. Additionally, I've increased the LED power to 100%. Notably, the Forum Stomper x Pink Panama and one of the Toof Decay x Walter White plants appear to be on the shorter side. Each plant has its own unique characteristics, adding an intriguing diversity to the garden. 🌿✨ Stay tuned for further updates. Happy growing, everyone 😎

✋Wk10: Playing the guessing game and learning is doing. 👉I started the week knowing I needed to do more of a full low EC rinse. I have been noticing purple stems around both plants spreading. As the week started the stems also started spreading on to some of the veins. The upper leaves started looking lighter green colored and by mid-week some yellowing spots and some very small brown spots on some of the upper leaves of the 3 gallon. The one gallon was getting more burned leaf tips. Until the yellowing splotches and small brown specks I was suspecting low Magnesium. I was compensating by adding a little extra cali-magic to the low ec solution I use to adjust the ec of the solution I fertigate with. But as the yellowing spread I knew I was wrong about something, so a little more searching and I may have nitrogen toxicity AND Phosphorus deficiency. The upper leaves on the 3 gallon plant were also showing a bit of ‘clawing’ which was pointing at the Phosphorus shortfall. So I may be wrong, but Ill only know by doing. So I did a large low EC rinse that was pH’d with the regular dosage of liquid Koolbloom, on both plants at the end of the week. I’ll continue to fertigate with a lower EC solution that will have the Koolbloom mixed at full strength. I may discard the current solution batches and remix fresh with less of the Flora Micro, more of the Flora Bloom and Liquid Koolbloom. It may all stem from not doing low EC fertigations as a matter of routine. Perhaps the Nitrogen was building up because there wasn’t a regular higher volume rinse. The Low EC rinse dropped the EC of the run-off right away. I know the common practice is to have routine low EC rinses, but I wasn’t having high EC run-off and it was stable, so I was trying to keep the nutrient level in the media at optimum levels. Doing one plant at a time is a very slow way to learn. I do read lots of science related gardening articles as well as scientifically inclined cannabis articles. I don’t look at too many forums because most of these people must be high ;) 👉I finally got around to clearing out some of the lower leaves from the 3 gallon plant and removing some of the leaves and shaded buds sites under the dome. Its still a thick tangled jungle. But more manageable. Doing tucking to give cola sights light. The buds are bulking up. The first signs of frost have appeared as well. Hopefully I can level out the nutritional needs and the buds will be fine. The trunk of the 3 gallon has gotten very thick. Its a work of natural engineering to support the plant. The branches are also very stout and strong. 👉The 1 gallon is making some potentially nice colas. Each branch is a long cola covered with buds. Ive added a little support to some of the branches, even though the branches dont need the support yet. The aroma is creamy caramel. Its almost bizarre to me. The plant has the light skunkyness that is typical of cannabis in flower, but that aroma is the undertone of the dominant smell, which is creamy caramel. Such a strange and wonderful combination of smells is almost as intoxication as the gorilla glue I grew last spring. The trichomes are mostly clear with cloudy ones making a showing.

Ladies and gentlemen today is day 80 and as you can see, we still have a ways to go.. As always I'd like to thank Zamnesia Seeds and Plagron for putting this contest together 💚 .. as you guys can see, this girl has got some size to her especially for being in a smaller pot .. she is a little low on nitrogen but I don't think she has more than 3 weeks left so i'm kind of torn as to whether or not I should hit her with some .. i think next feeding, I'll give her a little nitrogen, and then that'll be it. Aside from another feeding or two of green sensation, then we flush .. i hope everybody's doing well and so are there ladies 🙏 .. god bless everybody and happy growin ✌️

Day 88. Had to do it quickly, before remaking space and better air circulating by root level for Bagseed run, so Mr Earlier OG is chopped. No photos, had no time, dry trim chosen, same as for all that run. Some day. Absolutely forgot to make photos of Tallest Og. That girl was with amazing citrus aroma, but was chopped earlier, trimed wet and given away as a present to one friend after 6 days of drying.

Start of week 3 and all plants doubled in size all plants are healthy, been defoliating every couple of days most of the leaf removed are the ones that overlap each other,or blocking bud sites. This week they will go under new gavita 1700e led lights. Should be interesting to see how they grow,and see what all the hype is with led tech.

Hello Growmies, As we wrap up the seventh week of our Epic Buzz cultivation, our tent is bustling with life, with each plant showcasing the fruits of our labor. The training techniques, including defoliation, lollipopping, and scrogging, have been executed to near perfection, allowing our plants to transition into the flowering phase with robust vigor. Epic Buzz #1 and #2, in particular, are the epitome of horticultural excellence, with their sturdy stems and lush foliage setting the standard in our green haven. This week marked a pivotal shift in our lighting strategy, as we nudged the PPFD values from a modest 250-350 up to an assertive 450-500. This increase is designed to optimize the light intensity during this critical phase of growth, catering to the heightened demands of our flowering beauties. Our nutrient regime has been meticulously fine-tuned to accommodate the changing needs of our Epic Buzz varieties. The switch from Alga Grow to Alga Bloom signifies our plants' transition from vegetative growth to flowering, ensuring they receive the ideal nutrient profile for bud development. This, paired with our steadfast mix of Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, is dispensed religiously every four days to maintain optimal health and vitality. The controlled conditions within the Tent-X continue to be monitored with precision, keeping the VPD levels within a desirable range, despite occasional deviations due to manual fan adjustments. However, the imminent arrival of the Prima Klima EC fan is set to revolutionize our environmental control, promising seamless day-to-night transitions and a well-deserved retirement for the Mars Hydro fan. I humbly seek the collective expertise of this community for guidance on integrating a 5-phased PWM motor with the TrolMaster controller. Your shared experiences and advice are invaluable as we strive for continuous improvement in our growing endeavors. As we look ahead, the promise of what's to come with our Epic Buzz trio fills us with anticipation. Their impressive canopies and formidable structures are not just a testament to their genetic potential but a reflection of our dedication and the collective wisdom of this remarkable community. Stay lifted, and may your gardens always grow bountifully, Salokin

Hello Diary. Here we are in the seventh week of the cycle, the fourth week of flowering. Sherbet Queen is making great progress, the flowers are filling up, and they already have a strong smell. I really have nothing negative to write, as you can see in the photos, everything is great. I gave her some food this week, I added an Easy Bloom Booster tablet and I added BioBizz on two occasions. I stopped adding CalMg since the plants show no signs of a deficiency of these minerals. I had to connect a few branches with the pipe cleaners, they started to tilt from the weight. The temperature is in line with the summer months, slightly higher than ideal. Humidity is satisfactory, around 50%. Here's what the week looked like. 28/06/2021 - Day 44. Watering. I lowered p.H. at 6.3 and added one Easy Bloom Booster tablet to a total of 8 liters of water. With that amount I watered all three plants that are on the Farm. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 49% humidity. 30/06/2021 - Day 46. Watering. This time I added BioBizz. I added 8 liters of water Alg-a-Mic - 10 ml BioGrow - 15 ml Top Max - 7 ml Bio Bloom - 10 ml I adjusted p.H to 6.4 and with that amount I watered all three plants evenly. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 32 degrees and 38% humidity. 02/07/2021 - Day 48. Watering. p.H I adjusted to 6.2 and added Bio Bloom 2ml / lit, Top Max 1 ml / lit and Alg-a-Mic 1.5 ml / lit. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 47% humidity. 03/07/2021 - Day 49. Photography. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 48% humidity. Well, that's all for this week, see you soon.
