Hello. This is the end of week 6 and the beginning of week 7 of flowering. This plant shares the tent with lemon mandarin from fast buds and I found a spent male flower on one of the lemon mandarin plants leaves. So there is about 4 weeks left on the grow and I'm hoping that doesn't lead to a lot of hermie seeds. I'll have to look a bit harder and see what's going on in there. Made some kief out of the MAC and Crack I harvested in the fall. There were 3 light and fluffy sativa like plants that I'm turning to kief. Got a good amount of kief out of it and it's got a good head high too. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

26.1.25: I have had a mistake ๐Ÿ˜• i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh ๐Ÿ˜ฃ However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed. All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3. Containing the following nutrients;- โ™ก 3ml Seachem Seaweed โ™ก 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix โ™ก 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow โ™ก 3ml Biobizz Bloom โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster โ™ก 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag โ™ก .25g Ecothrive Biosys. โ™ก 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP. Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy. I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying ๐Ÿ˜‘ I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon ๐Ÿ‰ by using too strenuous LST. Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3. We will soon see! 28.1.25: My PH pen has packed up ๐Ÿ˜ฃ I've got to wait to get another. It's super annoying ๐Ÿ˜‘ so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it. Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator ๐Ÿ˜• things are not going very well this week so far ๐Ÿ˜… I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished. 29.1.25: I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent. There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes. I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling. I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation! My light was much further away than I thought! I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away. After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here. I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary. Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me. It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest ๐Ÿ˜… 30.1.25: So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise. It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not. I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor. I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused. I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner. I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic ๐Ÿ˜… but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! ๐Ÿ˜ฃ Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots. Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered. 31.1.25: The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen. Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet. I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water. May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys. Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings. Bubble Kush

. The end of a nice run๐Ÿ˜Š The three big sisters dried for 8 days as colas and then 2 days as buds on a drying net. They ended up at 139g, 127g and 145g dry respectively; added to the 83g and 64g from the little sisters, that makes a total harvest of 558g. My best one so far! Adding the lights was clearly the decisive factor. I'm finally satisfied with my setup. Aside from the small ball of finger hash, I put the trim in the freezer; as soon as my Banana finishes its run, Iโ€™ll mix it with the WW for a nice bubble hash. EDIT : I took 85 g from my White Widow and 25 g from my Banana Purple Punch, frozen along with about fifty grams of leaves. The result for this third bubble hash run: 12.85 g, i.e. 8% of the material used. The first time I reached 3.0%, the second time 7.1% ; with this 8.0% Iโ€™m making progress, but I havenโ€™t reached the 10% goal yet... Iโ€™ll keep working on it ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks to all of you for following this diary ! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Iโ€™ll update yaโ€™ll on the smells and tastes after drying and curing! So far both are packed with ice and smell very potent, a little overpowering still, so I want to give it some time before theyโ€™re cures and can show their true terpene profile!

On day 1 I changed out my reservoir, and added my bloom nutes, adjusted my light schedule to 12/12 and defoliated the plants. I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.1 My hope is that by flipping this cultivar earlier than my last run, I will not run out of vertical space ;). On day 2 I adjusted my reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 3 the clawing is almost completely gone. I adjusted the reservoirs PH down to 6.1. On day 4 the reservoir's PH is at 6.1. I defoliated the plants removing anything blocking lower growth to increase light and air penetration of my mains. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is 6.1. On day 6 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir up from 6.0 to 6.3. I will let the PH drift between 6.1-6.3. on day 7 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. I lowered the light intensity from 100% to 85% to give the top of my plant canopy an average PPFD of 700-1000. I plan to reduce the intensity as the plants continue to stretch to keep them in the 800-1000 PPFD range. I just got my first quantum par sensor and I'm really loving the new data it gives me to optimize my lighting.

I started feeding liquid nutrients this week. Although Iโ€™m using Natureโ€™s Living Soil Super Soil Autoflower Concentrate mixed with Fox Farm Ocean Forestโ€”so technically I could water only until harvestโ€”I decided to begin liquid feeding in Week 3 at half the recommended dose. I also have a Tray2Grow Autopot system for automatic bottom feeding, but I havenโ€™t activated it yet. When using liquid nutrients via top feeding, Iโ€™d need to turn the Autopot system off and wait until the plants absorb all the water in the tray before feeding from the top. Afterward, Iโ€™d have to manually turn the system back on. That seems like a hassle compared to just hand-watering and feeding. I could technically add the liquid nutrients to the Autopot reservoir, but that somewhat defeats the purpose of the system. The tank holds 25 gallonsโ€”enough to last a few weeksโ€”but if I want to change or rotate nutrients weekly, Iโ€™d have to dump the remaining water and remix the solution each time. If I wanted to feed nutrients every other watering, Iโ€™d be changing out the tank every 3 days. Plus, liquid nutrients can cause buildup, so Iโ€™d need to clean the reservoir and all the tubing regularly. For now, Iโ€™ll stick with hand-watering and top feeding. Iโ€™ll only switch to the Autopot system if I need to leave town.

(UPDATE) Not bud rot, cabbage worms. Lame. Purchasing some BT killer. The week was going good until I (may have had a delusional) found some potential Bud Rot! I took photos and asked a question, no answer yet. So I cut the potentially infected area away and will monitor very very closely.

End of week 11. Now I can say the scent permeates , if you lean in to take a sniff. It is a surgery-sweet, lemony smell( in the past, getting trichomes on my finger tips left that smell). Multi-pull buds are taking shape, but there's no clear winner, no cola I can call a main cola. If were to 'eye weigh it' each cola has about in estimated 2.5-3.5grams at the most. Plants are fed the same. 1 or 2 leaves show nitrogen deficiency.. will start to flush now(stopping nutrient feeding).

๐Ÿ“… D43 - 26/09 ๐Ÿ“œNew res and new light setup (only bloom lights): so T decreased and I need to take under control the H. Changed res with flowering mix. EC is 2 and pH 6. Removed SCroG net. โœ๏ธ 2 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 50 cm ๐Ÿ“… D44 - 27/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Posed a new SCroG net over the buds, only to give a support and guide the buds. As EC is raising, today I will give her only 2 L of water with only calmag and hydroguard. I purchased another lamp, that will arrive tomorrow with dimmers both on bloom and veg lights โœ๏ธ 2,2 EC โ™’ 6 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 10 L ๐Ÿ“ 55 cm ๐Ÿ“… D45 - 28/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Added of fresh water as the EC is raising too much. Let see if I've to add more later, trying to take EC under control. pH is quite stable , but it always goes decreasing and never raising. NEw lamp setup: I've purchased one that seems really good with 2 dimmers for both VEG and BLOOM lights. Very compact but powerful. Now I put bloom dimmer on 100% and veg dimmer on 80%. I'm not sure about the light time: the product sheet say 9-12/24 but now I'm 18/24. I will sniff around others diary to see what to do. โœ๏ธ 1,8 EC โ™’ 5,9 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 60 cm ๐Ÿ“… D46 - 29/09 ๐Ÿ“œ Added 1 other L. of fresh water and stabilize the EC 0n 1,5 and pH 6.1 I decided to keep the ligths on 18/24. Nothing else to report โœ๏ธ 1,5 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 65 cm ๐Ÿ“… D47 - 30/09 ๐Ÿ“œ So far so good. EC and pH are stable now and Lucy is healty and she's growing very fast. โœ๏ธ 1,5 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 65 cm ๐Ÿ“… D48 - 01/10 ๐Ÿ“œ Added 2 L with EC = 1,4 and pH= 6,1. Now the res is stable on EC 1,6 and pH 6,1. She's drinking about 2 liters and more every day. Tomorow I will report last day of 2nd flowerng week, So the harvest should be in the middle of November. โœ๏ธ 1,6 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 9 L ๐Ÿ“ 70 cm ๐Ÿ“… D49 - 02/10 ๐Ÿ“œ Last day of second week. Lucy is growing a lot and my tent is very small. I could consider to buy another tent, we will see. Added 2 L of water with only calmag and Hydro. I will keep the res untile the middle of next week. โœ๏ธ 1,5 EC โ™’ 6,1 pH ๐ŸŒŠ 8 L ๐Ÿ“ 75 cm

There is definitely some deficiencies present. I had planned on doing a flip to flower however this will put me off for another week or two while I correct any nutritional problem. Other than that they look good, very bushy. What do you guys think? Am I going to have a good 1212?
