Day 52____________________________ - Not much has changed from last week. Just fighting with the trellis net keeping everyone held down. - pH has been strange recently. I’ve been used to the pH raising as the week goes by, but in the past week or so, pH has dropped. Used to try to keep it at 5.6 and it would slowly turn to 6.0, but a few mornings I’ve checked it, it’s been at 5.4 or 5.3, so I’ve adjusted pH to 5.8, and am just monitoring it closely. - Checking root health has been a struggle as the trellis net kinda keeps everything held down. Removed the net to make sure nothing was getting caught in the drain tubes and make sure no root rot is happening and re-installed. - Starting to get super stinky when the stems are touched Day 55____________________________ - Plants were in desperate need of some under canopy clean up. Removed lots of fans shadowing and lower, weaker branches. Noticed a few leaves not looking so hot that we’re laying on top of net pot. Assuming it’s just from being neglected. Keeping an eye on nute levels and pH just in case. Day 56____________________________ - Removed a few other fan leaves once plant repositioned itself after messing with ScrOG. - Installed small fan blowing through newly opened up under canopy to help plant breath. - Will need a bigger Dehumidifier if opening up the under canopy doesn’t help bring down moisture. Set to 45%, expecting to get closer to 55%, but still seeing times with 75% or higher. It’s averaging out to 63%, which isn’t terrible, but I know I’ll need more juice soon anyway Day 56____________________________ - First pistils are showing!!! Day 57____________________________ - Decided to throw my Amazon.com dehumidifier in the dumpster. It would run all day and only pull a few teaspoons of water from the air. Got a hold of a nice GE unit that can handle 70 pints per day of dehumidification. I have literally zero clue if that’s a lot or not, but it’s 6 times the size of my old one, so I’m sure it’ll do fine.

So far so good till now,i Just spotted a leaf that Tells a Little potassium deficiency(solved,Just a temporary deficiency). Topped and FIMmed one,still keep going. I bit stressed plants by the lights and i decided to remove scrog net for Better inspecting and rotate plants,definitely not good for autoflower plants. This week i watered 1 litre Every 2 days.

When I swapped out fans I accidentally plugged it into the wrong power bar so it has been turning off with the lights.... humidity has still been high..I found 2 colas on a blue dream with budrot, I cut off the colas effected, fixed the fan so it'll run 24/7 again and hoping I get lucky and they are the only 2 I'll have to throw away. One blue dream is fox tailing...I'm not sure if it's heat/light stress, even the lower colas and ones not directly under the light are. It's only on the one plant, the other blue dream has colas closer to light and aren't fox tailing at all.

Nutrients completed on majority of the plants some smaller plants will remain being fed until Wednesday before flushing I rearranged the tents ready for drying purposes with 4 plants that were flushing in the dry room. I came gone to find one had collapsed. This is the heaviest plant (I am interested to see what it yields) Because it snapped at the stork I hung it up to dry and will be dry Tuesday 29th this week The rest will be ready after a successful flush. Earlier in my diary I did a test for which coco was the best. I can assure you that coco eco-thrive produced the tallest and most stacked plants Plain coco was the next which produced a medium yield plant of medium height. Last was coco with pebbles. I wanted this to win but believe me it has the worst growth and the least yields for this particular grow. So I would advise buying the eco thrive coco. It is such a good product if you can get your hands on it. It’s a very strong smelling this grow please note this when you start. But to be honest value for money I will definately grow this again. (Under $2.00 per seed This will probably be the last post before the chop. Stay tuned 05-07-20 30-09-20

Until now I lowered my Ph with the PH- from BIoBizz. It was working fine but this week I tried Plagron PH- and it works better, I need to add 2x less ph- solution to lower the ph of the same volume of water. I recommend it 😘 My instagram😉: https://instagram.com/hou_stone420?utm_source=qr&igshid=NGExMmI2YTkyZg%3D%3D

A drip irrigation system was installed on Sunday for improved efficiency. Temps held steady at 27–28°C (day) and 25–26°C (night), humidity ranged from 58–63%, and VPD stayed between 1.2–1.3. Soil EC was consistent at 1.3–1.4 mS/cm, and soil water content hovered around 19–22%. Lights were mostly at 90% @ 25cm (briefly 100% on Thursday), delivering a steady 900 μmol/m²/s PPFD, with CO₂ at 480–500 ppm. Some CalMag deficiency persisted, with 1.5x the usual dose applied, and one plant was over-defoliated but is being monitored with no worsening issues. Lessons: Consistency Pays Off: Stable environmental stats and regular watering kept plants thriving. 🌿 Defoliation Caution: Over-defoliation on one plant was a misstep; monitor its recovery closely. ✂️ CalMag Needs Attention: Persistent deficiency suggests further tweaks may be needed. Irrigation Upgrade: The new drip system should streamline watering—watch its impact. 💧 Takeaway: A mostly smooth week with stable conditions and proactive care. Keep an eye on the over-defoliated plant and CalMag levels while fine-tuning the new irrigation system. Steady progress with room for vigilance! 🚀

Start of week 2 ladies are growing like beast gave them all botanicare kind bloom and base also gave them open sesame from fox farm line just gave 1/4 of the recommended dose. Was using Gaia green bloom but got a dwc grow going now and the botanicare is working better than anything I've seen before. 1st week went very well with the botanicare feeding plants really love it not sure what I'm going to do as the tent is way 2 full and stretch is not done yet.

Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has completed the fourth week of flowering, the 7th week since the beginning of the vegetation. Now I can already say that we are approaching the grand finale. The plant looks really great, the large flowers have covered the branches and are starting to bend under the weight. The main cola is completely covered with flowers and looks impressive. The smell of Cherry Pie is now very intense, when I open the grow box the smell takes over the whole room even though the ventilation is still working. The leaves are still a healthy green color, it is obvious that the new nutrients Bio Grow and Bio Bloom Fertilizer are doing their job. The conditions on the Farm are good, the temperature is around 28 degrees while the humidity is below 50%. Watering is still almost every other day, they still need a lot of water. I continued to add CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer with each watering. I am super pleased and happy to see how Cherry Pie looks, she really reciprocated my efforts to provide them with the best conditions I can. Here is a short review of the past week. 06/09/2024 - Day 44. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, added CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertiliser and lowered the pH to 6.0. With that amount of water I watered all three plants on the "Farm". 08/09/2024 - Day 46. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. 10/09/2024 - Day 48. Watering. Same procedure. 11/09/2024 - Day 49. End of the 7th week from the beginning of the vegetation, or the fourth week of flowering. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Cherry Pie - Day 49. - 73 cm. That's all from me for this week, next week I will photograph them on a black background. See you soon and thank you all for your comments.

Essa semana alimentei as plantas (45 dias após transplante). Utilizei fertilizante Forth Flor regulando seu PH para 6.8 utilizando bicarbonato de sódio. Flores continuam desenvolvendo muito rápido e novos pequenos buds continuam aparecendo por toda parte. A planta ainda continua crescendo verticalmente, o que é impressionante, mas ruim pois está muito perto dos LEDs.

As we move into week 5, we're keeping a close eye on plant #2, which is showing some different characteristics than plant #1, namely, nutrient deficiencies. We seem to be dealing with it okay so far, having reduced the nitrogen input and increased the calcium and magnesium. I think these girls are anxious for some phosphorous and potassium but we're being cautious and will be feeding under 400ppm, starting tomorrow. Day 29: - increased HLG Elite 360 fixture's light intensity, from 65% to 70%. - minor LST adjustments and some leaf tucking to both plants. - installed reciprocating fan at top of tent, blowing fresh intake air across the light fixture and down to the plants. Day 30: - watered with a 500ppm nutrient solution, 4ml per gallon of Remo Nutrients' Flowering line, but with General Hydroponics' "CaliMagic" replacing Remo's "MagNifiCal", due to the lower Nitrogen content. - pH'd to 6.2/6.3 - minor LST adjustments Day 31: - calcium deficiency is showing up more on plant #2. Is there PK deficiencies as well? I'll continue feeding cal-mag and flowering nutes this week but i need to do a runoff test, and/or maybe a slurry test. Day 32: - watered with a 270ppm solution of "CaliMagic" (Cal/Mag). - pH'd to 6.4 - slurry test done with 100ml of soil and 200ml of distilled water at pH7.0. Tested slurry after 5 minutes, had a pH of 6.1. Day 33: - Plant 2 still showing a severe deficiency, which i assume is still calcium & magnesium, although the stems of the leaves are very purple and despite the genetics, i think this is indicative of deficiency issues as well. - Oddly, Plant 1 is not showing the same issues. Day 34: - did some light defoliation, removing a few small, lower shoots from the lower branches and a few of the lowest fan leaves. - increased HLG "Elite 360" fixture intensity from 75% to 80% (approx. 145 watts per each QB96 board). - Temp: 78F (lights on); 62-66F (lights off) - RH: 46-55% (lights on); 60-62% (lights off)
