1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 Both "A" and "B" put on an inch overnight. Now that the soooperstunted mutant runt is acting like a normal plant, so henceforth I'll refer to her as "C." 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 I moved #3 into the tent with my DWC rig to veg a little longer. 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. #3 is still vegging in my SCROG tent with the #8 FFT DWC plant. She's coming along, but still not ready for prime time.. That's it for week 4-

Ganja Farmer seeds Ak 2.0 XL auto Day 32 from sprout ViparSpectra XS2000 dialed in at 75% Watering every other day to every 2 days LST has worked well thus far with this strain. I am happy with how she is filling out and cant wait to see how much larger she gets. I am posting photos and the timeline from earlier this week. She is actually a bit fuller than these photos but you will see next week! See you all next week. Happy growing!

Hello Fellow Growers ✌️🏻🍁 Not posted in the last week or so, The girls have been potted up into 18litre pots using Bio all mix. Few of them had low PPM 350/400s & some in 700s just before reporting which is low and showing N deficiency’s So once potted up I just give them a nutrient feed of bio grow. Since the soil is got nutrients in it am hoping this will sort it’s self out nutrient wise over the next week. Ripper seeds - dosido x purple punch - has got some mad deficiency I can’t keep happy always looks over watered Aiming to start flowering within the next week or so - since potting up the others I soon realised I was running out of space so I decided to chop a couple strains out. Thought of adding a humidifier into the mix but not sure as I was having over feeding issues - anyones thoughts on this? All auto flowering strains are starting to really get into flowering now. Pink runtz auto - has a lovely strawberries smell. Gorilla glue auto - isn’t looking to great, she’s got a slight deficiency. Blue cheese auto - is growing slow I’m sure this got over fed and just hadn’t bounced back yet. Amnesia haze auto - this is the tallest of them all she’s starting to pack on too. Any questions or if you see anything you notice off give me a message always down for some helpful tips. Peace 🙏🏻🍁

Blütewoche 9 – Ernte in Sicht? Zeitraum: 17. Juli bis 24. Juli Blütetag: 56 bis 63 So langsam geht's wirklich dem Ende entgegen, die neunte Blütewoche ist rum, und die Lady sieht einfach nur fantastisch aus! Die Buds sind richtig schön ausgereift, dick, harzig und verströmen einen herrlich fruchtig-süßen Duft. Es kribbelt schon in den Fingern – ich denke, bald ist es soweit. Ich hab mir diese Woche regelmäßig die Trichome unter die Lupe genommen. Einige sind noch glasig, viele schon schön milchig, und vereinzelt zeigen sich auch die bernsteinfarbenen. Es sieht also sehr vielversprechend aus, aber ich warte vielleicht noch ein bis zwei Tage, um noch etwas mehr Reife rauszuholen. Heute checke ich sie nochmal gründlich und entscheide dann, ob geerntet wird oder ob ich ihr noch ein kleines bisschen Zeit gebe. Was ich in der letzten Woche gemacht habe. Ich habe den Lichtzyklus nochmal angepasst. Vom 18. bis zum 21. Juli lief sie unter 11/13, danach hab ich auf 10/14 runtergeschaltet. Damit wollte ich ihr ganz klar signalisieren: „Es ist Zeit, fertig zu werden.“ Zusätzlich habe ich die Lampe nochmal um 10 cm höher gehängt, um die Lichtintensität etwas zu reduzieren und den Stress zum Ende hin minimal zu halten. Gegossen habe ich übrigens nicht mehr. Man merkt deutlich, dass sie in der Endphase nicht mehr so viel Durst hat – das Substrat bleibt deutlich länger feucht. Etwas Sorge hat mir die Luftfeuchtigkeit gemacht. Die war wetterbedingt ein wenig erhöht, lag aber mit 56–66 % noch im vertretbaren Bereich. Die Temperaturen waren nachts bei 22–25 °C, tagsüber bei 28–30 °C, also alles im grünen Bereich. Bisher sieht alles gut aus, keine Spur von Schimmel. Die Pflanze kommt mit den Bedingungen gut klar. Jetzt steht also die finale Phase an. Die Ernte und das Trocknen. Auch das wird nochmal spannend, aber wenn das Wetter halbwegs stabil bleibt, sollte es gute Bedingungen dafür geben. Das nächste Update kommt dann nach der Ernte, wenn die Buds getrocknet sind und ich ein erstes Fazit ziehen kann. Ich freu mich drauf!

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. All 4 seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 4 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perilite and mix it all together. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08.20. Nr1 and 2 grow and thrive. Number 3 just got rid of the seedpod and is folding out the sheets. Number 4 is a bit shy and can only be seen if you look carefully into the soil. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-21. Nr 1 and 2 is doing well. Nr3 is trying to catch up and Nr4 is still shy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-23. Transplanted 2 girls from humidity dome and the small germinating pots to 15 liter autopots. The other 2 girls have to wait a little more before transplant to the autopots. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-27. The girls have settled in to there new home of the 15 liters autopot after a little transplant chock. Now the real week 1 starts for me and the girls. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. New pic and movies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr3 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls. Its no water for 3 days now for Nr1 and 2 so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added some pics with measurements and movie. Everything is looking great right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-31. New pics and videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-01. New pics and videos. Gave each of the girls with 2 ml Alg-A-Mic, 4ml Bio-Grow, 4ml Bio-Heaven and 10 ml Formulex mixed in 2 liters of water. I hope they like it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-02. New pics and the girls liked the water and nutrients yesterday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-03. New videos of the girls this morning. Nr1 and 3 looks great and nr 2 is looking a little funny, maby a little stressed. Kl. 16.00. Did some defoliation on the girls. Added video. Kl.. 23.00. New videos, defoliation and leaftucking. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My biggest harvest yet from a single plant! Closing in on 1 pound per plant which is very exciting. I could have vegged this plant longer but it still takes forever to mature. It never produces amber trichomes in my hands and just stops growing even though it's still consuming nutrients. This is the nicest LST/topping job that I have done yet and every branch produced a massive cola. I lost one cola to white mold but I have busted up the rest and inspected everything so I think it was an isolated incident. It smells amazing and it's gonna cure in the jars now! Thanks for following along on my 3rd White Widow run. I am going to be focusing on autoflowers

Da die Ladys echt viel Biomasse hatten, hab ich das Netz rausgenommen, um alle Ladys nochmal zu defolieren. Bei der Pink Poochie kann man wieder Grounded Genetics typische Terps entdecken. Ein sehr süßer Geruch. Die Knospen zeigen auch langsam, das sie dicker werden wollen.

Hello guys, hope you are doing well. happy to start a new grow into my Ninja Bundle and what a grow : Bubba Slush from GHSC. It all started well the seed germinate in 2 days, you can find the tutorial and video on my IG profile of course. The plant is doing well 2 first leaves are out, no nutrients for the moment i will start it in 2 weeks only once she have reached a good size and anyways for the moment the nutrients in the soil are more than enough. I got many messages about the first leaves of your grow don't worries they are always weird like your first steps when you are a baby. It's not an issue and not a sign of a weird plant just be patient and the plant will grow nice leaves very soon. Take care all Sawyer

Out of the 4 that cracked open, 2 of them will move forward which is all I need! Especially if they're as vigorous as the NL Auto from Sensi. I have the A100 Aerolights at %25 for a 20/4 light cycle really close to them. They're loving life in the new pots, while tilling is saw many worms and the topsoil was a lovely bunch of worm castings. The next move for the 5x5 is going to be either a buttload of small pots for a phenohunt or a massive pot to carry on my single tent single plant modus operandi. 14 days from dropping them into a shotglass of water. When I transplanted them I coated the taproot with rootwise mycrobe complete. Thanks for keeping up and take care fellow Growers!

She had her issues and is not a big yielder. But she makes up for it in beauty and aroma! The trichomes look absolutely awesome! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seeds: 6,33€ -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 20,22€ -Total variable costs: 36,05€ -Total costs per grow: 39,22€ -Cost per gram: 1,07€/g

Possibly my favourite so far, lovely explosive growth in the last 7 days. Showing very early promise. 11cm already, can't wait to see how this one grows. These RF3 do seem to have a slightly more vigorous growth than the others. Time will tell I guess. I have soft water here so have added Canna Calmag Agent at a low dose to feed schedule. Currently feeding once a week.

Van madurando bien, se les siente super compactas algunas como piedra. De momento no hay indicios de botrytis, que siempre ha sido un problema para mi. Hoy revisé los tricomas pero ninguna está para cosechar aún, así que se quedarán una semana más. 5 con proceso de lavado y 1 todavía con nutriente.
