April 20, 2024 Happy 420 Everyone! A new diary for a new contest by Seedsman! Sit back, because there's a lot to talk about today. Just like all of my grows, this run will have daily updates with pictures, a weekly video and as much detail as I can muster in the stats. Let's get started. First off, let's talk about the setup. I have 4 plants in my main tent that won't be done for a couple more weeks. So these ladies will be starting out in an AC Infinity Germination Center with their Germination grow lights, a heat mat and a small computer fan to keep the air fresh. The DLI will be around 12 mol/m²/d. They will be planted in root Riot Plugs until they show roots. Then in their final 3 gallon fabric containers. Then into the Mars Hydro 2x2 tent with the TS600 light. 100 watts of pure power. Haha. This should only be for a couple weeks. Just enough time for them to be well established. Then they will go into my AC Infinity 3x3 tent with the S33 grow light. 240 watts of power. I have 2 oscillating clip fans running a slight breeze at all times. I'm using a 4" exhaust fan with filter. I'll be using the AC Infinity bottom feed wick system. I've been using it for quite a while and I find it to extremely efficient. More about this later on in the grow. Let's talk about the strain. Sour Diesel Auto by Seedsman. This strain should be with us for the next 8 to 10 weeks. In my experience, add another week or two just Incase. We can expect a really good yield if I don't screw anything up. Up to 650/m². She has some environmental requirements. Heat is the main thing. Slightly humid for the veg stage and dry for the flowering stage. Being a sativa dominant strain, she will grow tall. I'll be implementing LST and light defoliation for this plant without a doubt. That's about it for now. I'll describe characteristics throughout the run. Finally to our actual ladies. I'm germinating 5 in a glass of water. I plan on keeping 4 total. That's all my tent can fit. So I'll do away with the 5th and work with the 4 best seedlings. They should sink overnight and start to open up. As soon as I see the tap roots, they go in the Root Riot Plugs. That's all for today. See you tomorrow. Oh, and thanks for reading. Wish me luck on this journey. It is a grow off after all. Lol April 21, 2024 4 of the 5 seeds have sunk to the bottom of the cup with my assistance. The 5th one I still floating. However, I don't see any tap roots, so another day or 2. I may pop the sunken seeds in the Root Riot Plugs tomorrow afternoon. The 5th seed may be the reject. If it doesn't pop in a couple days, I'm calling it a loss and working with the 4 other seeds as I originally planned. I could also go down to 3 plants, but I frankly would like the even number of 4. 1 per quadrant. We shall see. I wonder if I should do three 5 gallon plants or four 3 gallon plants. We shall see. The biggest obstacle will be the tight space I have to work with for the next 2 to 3 weeks while the plants already in there are done. I plan on dry trimming for a faster dry. Normally, I like to hang the whole plant. This time around will be wet trimmed and hung in parts. OR placed in my bud drying rack. That's large enough to hold all 4 plants' buds. I should also mention that these seeds are in constant darkness until they go into the plugs. Kind of obvious, but these diaries are not only for my records but set up as an educational piece of work. The environment is looking fine. The air temp is 82°, but the water is definitely no where near that warm. I did have to drop the exhaust fan down and increase the heat mat temp to get the water temp up to a proper temp. Germination Center Environment: I'll be keeping the temp around 82° and the humidity doesn't matter for now. When it matters, I fill the bottom of the Germination Center with water. It helps perfectly with the humidity for growing seedlings. It will also help regulate the temp to around 78° to 79°. April 22, 2024 All 5 ladies have sunk to the bottom of the cup. Now it's just a matter of time for the taproots come out. Somehow, the Germination Center was cold this morning. Like 68° cold. So I took the riser off the dome and cranked the heat mat to bring the heat and humidity up. That being said, the seed water is much cooler than I want. I like warm water for germination. Oh well. The heat mat should fix things in a matter of hours. Everything else looks good. Germination Center Environment: Currently it's at 77° and 94% humidity. It should level out to about 80° and the humidity should stay about the same. I also took the fan off the dome. I'll put it back on when they pop out of their plugs. April 23, 2024 All 5 seeds popped. They all have tiny taproots just starting to form. This is when I plant them in the plugs. They should take a couple days to break surface, but definitely germinated. Now it's just a matter of choosing the 4 best looking seedlings. They are now in the Root Riot Plugs with the temp at 77° and humidity at 95%. The dome is on without the extension for now. Once they show leaves, I'll install the extension and turn the light on. I'll be leaving the light on for 24 hrs. While in the Germination Center. Once out and established, I'll change it to the normal 18/6 light schedule. I was considering starting at 18/6 from the beginning, but I've tried that and feel like it wasn't as successful as 24 hours. Especially because these are autos. The kickstart of light makes total sense. We will see if my theory is correct. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 77.4° RH: 95.4% VPD: 0.15 kPa April 24, 2024 Nobody hopped surface yet today. I don't even see green in the plugs yet. I'm definitely not worried about it. I expect them to break surface in a couple of days. Maybe tomorrow or the day after. Honestly, I won't mind if they take a little bit longer and I can keep them in the Germination Center for a bit longer. It will work out best for my whole grow operation. Small as it is. I gave each seed plug a bit of filtered water today. Just to keep the moisture up. It shouldn't matter too much. The plugs are pre-moistened, so there shouldn't be any issues there. I'll be turning the lights on when I start to see green. They will be on 24 hours for the first week. Then into the main light at 18/6 for the rest of the grow. The environment is a bit bouncy while I work to get the system right. The heat mat is perfect a it's setting, but the fan needs to be messed with and the dome port needs to be adjusted as well. So far it's not too bad, but the temp keeps dropping below 75°. I'll keep a closer eye on it while I get it to acclimate to the proper total environment. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 80.4° RH: 94.7% VPD: 0.19 kPa April 25, 2024 Some ladies are starting to show green! Today we have 3 of the 5 ladies breaking surface with the shells. One of them is absolutely going to have helmet head. Or whatever it's called. I'll be needing to fix that. I'll wait til tomorrow to see how things go. The other 2 are still working their plugs. That being said, I reinstalled the dome extension and turned the lights on to 20% power. The DLI is around 10 mol/m²/d. I'll increase the light power in a day or 2 when the rest of the babies pop up. We should end up with the DLI of 12 mol/m²/d when we start seeing leaves. The environment hasn't been the best. Not my best start by far. I can't keep the temp at a good range. My night time temps are super low and then I get a decent day temp, but then it gets too hot. I'm going to have to figure out the heat mat I think. It's back to normal now, but was like 65° last night. Not good. With the light on now, the temp shouldn't be a problem. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 72.6° (too low) RH: 76.8% VPD: 0.64 kPa April 26, 2024 So far I have 4 ladies fully showing with the 5th lacking any movement. She mush not have actually popped. Or maybe a little late. I'll give it 2 more days and see what happens. Anyway, I think I already have my 4 plants now. They will be labeled A through D. Everything looks great for now. The environment is looking great at 80° and a humidity of 82%. I won't need to mist them at all at this rate. Maybe when they get into the nursery bags I'll need to mist. We shall see. I'll be leaving the light at 20% for another day or two. Then I'll increase the intensity to 12 mol/m²/d. It should start this run out swimmingly. One of the babies had a helmet, so I gently removed that this morning. Other than that, nothing else for the day. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 78.7° RH: 80.0% VPD: 0.69 kPa April 27, 2024 This is when I normally would start a new week, but these ladies are only in the very early seedling stage. Not on veg. Honestly, I would love for a seedling stage week. Now I'm kind of stuck until I see the first set of true leaves. Another few days no doubt. So it throws off my schedule. Oh well. I'll do my best to keep track. I have 1 seed that rooted, but never grew up. I'm calling it a loss for now. So 4 of 5 seeds made it out of the plugs. I also have a 4th one that is super wonky. I'll keep it for now. If it looks all messed up over the next few days, I'll have to toss that one as well and just work with 3 plants. Hopefully it won't come to that. The 3 seedlings that are looking good, look really good. Roots already starting to get exposed. They will be going in the 1/5 gallon nursery bags in a matter of days. Maybe even tomorrow. I don't like too much root to show before transplanting. So that may be a thing tomorrow. I'll increase the light intensity when they are transplanted. It makes the most sense based on the speed they grow. The environment is pretty good. Hovering at a temp of 80° and 87.4% humidity. I also gave them a small misting to keep the humidity up and the babies getting all the water they can get without overdoing it. Germination Center Environment: Temp: 81.2° RH: 88.9% VPD: 0.41 kPa

In the beggining of week 4 of flower the phenos are showing differences. Nanaz x BBC are way toller that the Headbands. Also, Nanaz x BBC #2 has no pistils but it is a female plant. I have that happened before when I grew the Banana Butter Cups S1

Hello welcome to week 3. Poppy is suffering a bit from overly harsh LST but still growing. I broke a node today and it's really awkward to fix. I am not sure the node will survive. Day 17: The node did not survive. Whoops. Oh well more space for growth I guess. Day 18: Poppy has recovered from the LST now and is vegging fast. Fertigated 2l Day 19: Slightly adjusted LST. Poppy is really stretching out now. I have adjusted the timer such that the main tent is now getting 20/4 upped from 18/6. After monitoring DLI at 18/6 for a week I am unhappy with the overall level but because of the varying heights of the plants I am limited in what I can do in adjusting the light height. Some areas were only getting 20 DLI. So I have rearranged to have the taller plants on the edges and the lowest in the middle and doing it this way all plants are getting between 35 and 50 DLI at 20/4 - although one or two cola tips here and there are getting 55. Will monitor for a week. Day 20: Not taken photos yet, about to fertigate. I have noticed she is looking a little darker in the tips and has a vague blue sheen to her in places. I am going to reduce her nutrition a little bit. Day 20.5: Performed LST and took off three big leaves. Poppy is a pancake again. Fertigated 4l

Auto Opium has been making progress since her rough start. She got lst early in the week and some more today. She is looking really good this week. She is due for a solution change soon. Thank you Medic Grow, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Ela respondeu muito bem ao LST, mas acabei ficando com preguiça de ir melhorando a cada dia, fui viajar e larguei ela. No final ela cresceu em um formato meio estranho, com 2 cones principais até que grandes, mas a parte inferior da planta ficou menor (eu ACHO), posso estar enganado. Minha sensação é que sei começar o LST da maneira correta, mas não sei como preciso guiar depois de uma certa idade da planta. Se tivesse mantido o LST bem feito acho que ela ficaria com o dobro do volume provavelmente. Ela ramificou com facilidade. Não tirei fotos durante um tempo, mas hoje está bonita, com um verde escuro e brilho bastante saudáveis. Ela está com 53 dias.

Had a little toxicity last week flushed and recovering this week.

Still a bit low on the feeding it seems, I do not want to push too much calmag and PH seems ok. Hopefully they manage to survive all the way to the end, especially for the big topped girl.

Growing very well, nice colas cover in white, almost finishing 2 week with beastie blumz, starting to create huge looking nugs, really excited about the finish result.

***** Week 10 growth - February 6 to 12, 2021 - Week 1 Flower ***** Here we go.......on to flower now. Last week was transition week and bud sites are setting on the girls now. Lights flipped a week ago to 12/12.......typical flower. Stretch is starting this week now. Last week was marginal height growth. Nutrients switched over to flower schedule and following week 1 again this week. Next week will move up the ppm more and start on bud enhancers. More microbes and sweetener this week. Silica ppm also increasing now as not looking to bend branches much more now. Decided to throw Scottie Real some support and Recharge arrived this week so switching microbes for the rest of the run👍💪 Have a hole in the canopy that I am just going to need to live with. GSCHB and MM2 did not growth as expected. They are not reaching up as tall as the others and stretch is slow. Not looking like they will catch up in next couple of days☹️☹️☹️ Also thinking of increasing some fulvic acid for this girl and see if it helps her stretch....Gold Storm. Little more detail....... Feb 6/21 - Day 1 - been drying for 2 days now so water day with some supplements - 3L with CalMag @ 2ml, AN B52 @ 1.5ml (using up an old bottle to finish), Enzymes @ 1ml - 575ppm and 5.9pH - Need to start increasing silica. Using up some B52 which has some silica in it.......and other vitamins so its all good😀 Feb 7/21 - Day 2 - Leaves up today and praying nicely. - dry out day - stretch is going now and the girls are growing hard.....this girl is still working on setting buds Feb 8/21 - Day 3 - Feed day again, going to stay with week 1 flower nutrients, same as last week. - IPP Grow @ 1ml, Micro @ 2ml, Bloom @ 2ml, Black Storm @ 3ml, Sea Storm @ 5ml, B+ @ 0.5ml, Red Sun @ 0.5gr, Carbs @ 1ml, Natures Candy @ 1ml, Piranha @ 1ml, Microbes @ 2ml. - 4L.......yeah, took a little longer to mix up this feed😀 - 1350ppm and 5.9pH - no run off from the girls today......little light on the water, they should have had 5L each. - last feed with bud starter, Red Sun, next will be Bud Fusion for bud booster next week. Feb 9/21 - Day 4 - no run off yesterday so adding more water today......plain tap water.....no additives - 5L for each girl. 225ppm and 6.0pH - good run off today. Feb 10/21 - Day 5 - Nothing today......watered two days in a row - ready for more silica!! Branches need to firm up.......this girl has some very soft branches still!!! Feb 11/21 - Day 6 - Recharge arrived today!!!!!! Time for more microbes and sweetener😀💪 - purple stripes on main stems so adding more magnesium through Epsom salts - 4L mixture for the girls with Epsom Salts @ 0.5Tbsp, Silica @ 1.5ml, IPP Carbs @ 1ml, Recharge @ 1 tsp - 1,000ppm and 5.9pH - different microbes now and excited! Feb 12/21 - Day 7 - Nothing again today.......give them watering tomorrow morning. - Wondering if their leaves are a little dark........consider bring down ppm next week.......it was hard this week at 1300ppm........water is 250 on its own so around 1100ppm nutes added. - she is not stretching much but looking very happy......suspect she will have large colas......hopefully👊 Looking good ETS......the girls are doing very well overall. This girl is very happy and looking healthy, branching a little soft, stretch has been minimal so far but might take off more next week with silica being increased. She grows some HUGE fan leaves😀😀

Video pretty much says it all. Plants are doing great. *Grow Notes: limit defo. In most stages. Little tip burn overall so prob. At the high end of the Berkana. Good internodal spacing - look’n at a quality stack. Lowers were still too low on launch, would’ve benefited from a little more veg. Time. *minor light burning in localized areas has begun to show up elsewhere. There is a chance it’s early and very slight nute burn after the tent was flooded out last week. Running 20L of water through em over the next two days to dilute the current Rez mix and flush out any lingering solids and minerals that be throwing em off. That shouldn’t cause any issues and will isolate the problem if it’s localized light burning. Moved up the lights a touch regardless as well. *update - there was definitely a little light burn in one hot spot but the leaf issues are now prevalent on plants 2,6&7. It’s repp’n like P&K deficiency which would track with previous runs and further support how nute hungry some of them have been in the past. We’re changing out from the Berkana to Maxi-Bloom anyway due to need and the GH nutes are generally somewhat stronger in content than Druid so that should solve the problem🤞. Either way - on this basis alone, plants 1,3&4 are starting to look like our prime candidates for seed from the clone cabinet. Only time will tell on this issue but prefer we breed it out as best as possible when we start the back cross against the F1 pollen.

I do not know how it happened but it did… She has decided she want to reveg herself. I hope you can see what I mean, if you compare week 18 and this 23rd week. She’s now bush and showing off her new growth, I am caught between defoliation or letting her grow wild and uninterrupted, the problem lies with blocking other new growth from getting enough sunlight, I remember change her position to try get both sides growing at an equal rate but all I did is made the one lacking to be the one leading in growth. Loving her scent, fruity sweet, though has a slight hint of diesel.

Easy grow, good

@twenty20mendocino A-Team R&D Update ~ Let’s Go day 24 of flower 🌸 an we are looking amazing! Ladies are starting to stack an oh my we getting a lot of frost going on! starting to get some gassy stanky notes of em too😍 ! We are only into week 4 ladies an gents we still got a few weeks to go of stacking! Keep your eyes peeled for next week’s update yall , peace love a positive to all y’all , an have an amazing productive day ! Cheers an blaze on !!

Flower Week 1 Day 7 to 13 - 3/25 to 3/31 Simply watching the stretch from this point. Both plants recovered very nicely from Schwazze extreme defoliation and all of the colas/branches are mostly even at top. Feed this week was again an auto pot reservoir feed at 650ppm total before add-ins. I used 325ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 325ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also reduce in Veg mix. Feed will be 700ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding.

this week the plant has grown well I'm being struck by the compactness of the plant which is very close between one internode and another I hope it continues like this and stays nice and compact, or started using the water produced by the dehumidifier which is basic ph 6.4/6.6 and an ec between 0.3 and 0.5 and however not with chlorine or other added things as it is water recovered from the air and allows me an error regime with a higher ec because it is based on a lower ec than the tap water which I used to use after decanting with this I hope I don't have problems but we'll see for now and ok, rating for the performance held this week and a nice 10 ahaha unfortunately for me it's a male I'm right but I don't despair I'll use it to mix it with my don diablo and try to make it stay more compact between one internode and the other, since she has a very compact growth while easing a male.

Hi everyone :-) . This week the Orange Sherbert, Blue Gelato # 41 and Sour Diesel were harvested 😍. The Her Majesty F1 was in the darkroom and stays there for 48 hours before it is harvested. The gelato will be placed in the darkroom in the next few days. As soon as the gelato has been dried for about 14 days, and comes into the glass for fermentation, I will put all the harvest pictures of all plants in it 👍😎. Happy new week to everyone neue Let it grow 👍🌱
