Shortly after they were switched to flowering (after week 3) the plants continue to stretch and then start to develop their first flowers. Now in week 7 all plants have very nice flower clusters all over the plant and side branches. They have grown to 45 cm (=Shiva Skunk on left side) and 40 cm (Serious Kush on right side of aisle) in height respectively and all plants have a nice dark green color, which shows they are healthy and also that the Advanced Nutrients schedule works like a treat. The Q6W-Gen.2 LED-Lamps are now dimmed to 100% (=three green LEDs on the dimmer) and work on FULL POWER, which ensures full fledged flower production. Both varieties have now started to exude their typical aroma. The Shiva Skunk starts to smell musky and sweet, while the Serious Kush smells 'gassy' and 'fuely' like its OG-Kush heritage. The flower clusters on the Serious Kush appear to grow denser than the clusters on the Shiva Skunk.

They are growing healthy. They all recovered from the issues, but they are all small.. They are drinking a lot lately, I've been struggling to keep the temperature below 27/28°. The only plant who didn't had any agressive movimentation, handling, whatever, has 90 cm, huge.

Heute ist tag 10 in veg bei mir. Gestern noch mit mycos mix von glĂŒckspilze und bio vega von biocanna gegossen. Hammer mischung!! Über nacht fast doppelt so fetter stĂ€ngel usw..... bin von dem echt ĂŒberzeugt. Wenn man es zum richtigen zeitpunkt bei mischt. In der blĂŒte wĂŒrd ichs lassen. Da sehr viel stickstoff inside ist. Die cuts sind natĂŒrlich wie immer bombe. Sauber, stabil, getestet usw.... einfach top! Finden kann man diese wunderschönen stecklinge bei ROOTS_FARMS.

Day 26-33 (May 17th-24th) (Day 27) I wanted to experiment with an organic PK boost in flower so I’m top dressing most of the plants with 2-5.5-5.5 nature’s pride bloom, 0-18-0 bat guano, 1-0-3 kelp meal and a dash of oyster shell and rock dust. Two of the plants I gave just nature’s pride bloom but I’ve already forgotten which ones. I hope that small amount of N won’t continue to tox the plants. I’m pretty sure I got rid of most of the N with that last big watering. I also did a decent defoliation on most of the lower leaves and branches and a few of the uppers. (Day 30) A few of the plants definitely didn’t like the N. I’m seeing some odd clawing and very dark green and shiny leaves. (Day 31) I’m going to flush out the toxed plants with at least a gallon and give the other plants a normal watering with some runoff. I’m going to wait a week or so until I see start to see some deficiencies then I will give them each an individual feeding tailored to their deficiency or just leave them be. This is why growing multiple different strains in a single room can be a problem unfortunately. And using organic dry amendments will never be as accurate as hydro nutes for individual feedings. (Day 33) The smell in here is practically non existent. I don’t even have a carbon filter on my fan. If it starts to smell I will vent it directly outside but as of now, the smell is still quite low. BAOGC 1 & 2 are leading the pack in terms of density, structure and bag appeal. The smell is almost like a sweet rotten milk. Not super overpowering but it’s got some good terps for sure. #1 looks like it will be slightly denser and bigger nugs. I’ve grown this once before with mad deficiencies and this time it has won me over. I’m all around impressed so far. Blueberry #1 has that really old school look, with leaves protruding out of the main cola. It has perfect structure and node spacing but will definitely be on the leafy side. The smell is very weak but nostalgic. The trichomes are barely visable and almost all stalk. A very undesirable trait when breeding for high thc. #2 is garbage in my opinion. It’s basically #1 with less frost and no good structure. TWOG is somewhat average so far. It has good structure and decent frost but not much else going for it. The smell is feint but is earthy/piney. It’s certainly better than the blueberries and jacks but that doesn’t say much. The jacks are looking like trash right now. They’re stretchy, didn’t handle N well and the bud structure is very airy. I’m sure I made lots of errors but the genetic potential for these 2 is not the greatest either way. Pheno #1 smells slightly lemony/citrusy but still looks almost identical to the other. I personally love the smell of the knuckled #2 pheno. It’s a light, sweet, fruity candy smell. The scent is very nostalgic as most of the commercial black market stuff in my area (2007-2011) had the same exact smell, color and look. These will probably take an extra week or 2 before they’re filled out.

I’m going to end this grow diary here. During the later stage, I went through a mental breakdown and kind of lost focus on life for a while. I’ll upload whatever photos I still have, but I didn’t get my friend to help take proper photos because he was dealing with military conscription at that time. I feel genuinely sorry to the sponsors who provided the seeds. I promised to complete the grow diary for them, and I broke that promise. I tried to save some branches, but they didn’t survive. I don’t have any excuses for this. If I get another chance in the future, I’ll buy their seeds myself and grow them again properly

Ciao a tutti! C'Ăš stata un'accellerata imprevista e cosĂŹ mi sa che raccoglierĂČ una settimana prima del previsto! Tra 3 o 4 giorni taglio tutto! Ho svuotato completamente i vasi e ho messo solamente acqua liscia per far sĂŹ che le radici scarichino bene tutti i nutrimenti ancora presenti. Devo registrare purtroppo un piccolo problema di muffa, dovuto sicuramente all'umidificatore (purtroppo ho dovuto tenerlo acceso per tenere bassa la temperatura) in quanto si Ăš formata sugli 8 apicali della pianta piĂč vicina ad esso. Ho dovuto purtroppo tagliarli e buttarli via quasi per intero, ci avrĂČ rimesso una ventina di grammi, anche 30. Post memoria per me: l'anno prossimo a luglio non devo avere niente e iniziare il ciclo a metĂ  agosto con le temperature piĂč accessibili. Comunque sta andando benissimo a parte l'imprevisto, non vedo l'ora di raccogliere e fumare! Ci vediamo la prossima per l'ultima settimana đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€đŸ€đŸ’ȘđŸŒđŸ’ȘđŸŒ

Desde el momento uno fue fĂĄcil de cultivar, no tuve ningĂșn problema en todo su desarrollĂł. Como planta supero todas mis expectativas, se encuentran densos y muy pegajosos los cocos. En algunos hay partes de color violeta/lila. Y por ultimo recomiendo mucho cultivar esta genĂ©tica por lo sencillo que fue cultivarla y sus resultados finales, todo de diez.

Hi all. Welcome to this run withbthe Viparspectra XS1500 which i was kindly sent to try by their helpful rep Valerie. As I have a fairly good space to use for my main grow , it seemed an ideal time to explore a few options while I wait for space to appear following upcoming harvests. The opportunity hit at a good time and has now driven the future play time. lol The light is a full spectrum 150W( at the socket) , Dimmable and very well made unit. As summer is here now , my concerns of more heat being an issue have stopped me from adding my other light so the smaller 2ftx2ft area covered by the XS1500 is a good option , The heatsink is built into the case design with a finned top to dissipate the heat so no noisy fans. Switching it on to full power was a nice surprise as the footprint was way wider than I had expected and the actual coverage is even better for my Nursery to harvest plan.... I am growing autos perpetually at present and have been able to throughput the plants with just 2 lights and using the overlaps at the edges to bring seedlings along to veg/flowering, as harvesting is finishing. The timing had been working well but the plants were getting smaller towards the last runs . I gave it some thought and Rh % came to mind. With the perpetual runs not having a higher rh in their veg periods due to other plants needing a lower Rh% in flower , the vapour pressure deficit (vpd) was not within veg periods healthier range. This current run has exploded and filled my normal space very quickly which in turn means I cannot use the same principle as the last perpetual run of bringing the next ones along ready for the exchanges. The XS1500 takes care of this issue with it being perfect for an initial nursery light that is easily covering all the new seedlings but is also able to cover my experimental "5 plant 1 Pot" attempt. I have placed 5 of my own autob seeds from a previous seeding in a single 60 L pot and intend to strip them to their 4th nodes and only allow 2 mains per plant to develop and flower. Inam hoping to have 10 mains growing in it that will be under the xs1500 solely as the other plants outgrow the lights footprint and space they are in. They will go into the main grow space once able so i can really see how well this new light can flower with the 10 mains to fill the space. Until that point , I will diary as we go and see what we can achieve.

Germinated 10/06 Defoliated pretty heavily a few days before the pictures. Have lights cranked up to 8 now. Turned down chiller 2 degrees and humidity down 5%. Changed feeding ratios to 1-1-1 for “Flora Trio”. Quit using Flora Micro and switched to my own blend (see photo). Now using 3 different solutions, Miller Microplex, Calcium / Potassium Nitrate, Ammonium Sulfate. Still same target ppm as FloraMicro, just can’t mix sulfates with Calcium Nitrate so I dose Ammonium Sulfate into my res first and then wait 15 minutes.

3-4 weeks to go and things are looking great in tent 1 where I have 2 Peyote Gorilla girls in an Earthbox. The stretching is complete, and the girls are finishing. This tent was a breeze. No issues with growth and a lot of nutrition the plant can use to finish. Colas are stacking and beefing up... trichomes are very evident and I believe this plant is very happy. I water the humis layer with 1/4 gallon of rainwater to keep moist. However tent 2 is a different story. I noted that the plant was undergoing severe chlorosis. I believe this is due to my re-use of this earthbox jr, has created such a strong root structure from this and previous grows, that the plant cannot uptake nutrients as required. There is plenty of nutrition in the box and I added a small amount (1/4 cup) of Craft Blend mixed with Naranja that I milled and some gnarly barley, a malted seed meal that was germinated and then stopped to trap the seed hormones and prepares the starches to be converted into fermentable sugars. So I know there is great nutrition to the plant available but something else is preventing uptake. I don't use bottled nutrients so I must wait for the food to breakdown and become plant available. At this point of maturity I want to be careful with Nitrogen... I have seen such weird affects that may cause lockout, and foxtailing and new bud growth as the plant is finishing. I will watch carefully as the plant senesces, as bud development is far ahead of development in size compared to tent 1.

This week was a good one . Stellar initial growth this round after upgrading lights & using homemade super soil. My 3 day old plants looked like 9 day old plants of my last run to give an idea . I watered for the first time since planting on 5/17 . I had to itch to test the runoff since it’d only take a sec right? All the ph’s came out almost 2 points lower than when they went in so I decided on a flush even though I’m using Dry amendments. Honestly I didn’t have the problem of fluctuating ph’s before I added that Peat Moss to my supersoil in hindsight I wish I would have just ordered 1 more 11lb brick of CoCo Coir . I had the idea that I may need to flush a day or two prior to watering when I noticed all my stems purple. I get it could be genetics but ALL of them where purple . Here today it is 1 full day since I flushed & all of the stems are now Green with the exception of my Runtz seedling. 3/17 will make day 7 for Runtz & #1 of the GDP 3/18 will make day 7 for Zkittlez & the 3 remaining GDP. I intended to transplant these ladies day 13 preferably into their forever homes of 3g fabric pots . Fingers crossed day 14 they’ll be ready to start some LST.

Day 165 14/10/24 Monday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today Starting to see new growth showing no signs of new seeds!! She is spitting out new pistils again, I may run nutes for this week then flush , as trichomes are looking clear still with only spots of cloudy. Picture's (over exposed to light) 📾 Day 167 16/10/24 Wednesday Feed today 😁 using de-chlorinated tap water phd to 6.3. Her pistils keep maturing rapidly, but then I check twice a day and each time I check, they look either orange and almost showing finished signs... Then she slaps out another round of pistils and trichomes are coming cloudy still. She may well be a 12 week flower. I'll keep feeding till I see majority cloudy. Picture and video update 📾💚 Day 168 17/10/24 Thursday (End of week) Damn!!! Found two tops, overnight turn brown hairs, and sugar leaves yellow and dry. Needless to say two tops had been attacked by mould. After a heavy detailed inspection of plant, it is only these two tops. So I have removed, bagged and hoping now no new mould is spotted đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž Rest of the plant looks and smells fantastic 💚 I have update pictures and a video 📾💚 Day 169 18/10/24 Friday Damn, she has lost another 2 tops due to mould. I'm gutted, so to stop any further disappointment, I am chipping her tonight before lights on đŸ’šâœŒïž Note to self- lesson learned when doing Scrog, Lollipop MORE. I have left too much on and it has reduced airflow causing humidity to stay above 62%.

Plants are doing well. the Psychosis is catching up I've taking a video of my room too show the inside a bit better. Noticing some issues with my room set up. The 2" air stones are making too much noise at random points of the day/week. I assume the stones move slightly and cause a rattle noise when the stone is at a certain angle *** ill update this week more today after I have been to the hydroponic shop to pick up a few things Having some issues with the 2"airstones. Due to screeching and rattling. The let the perfect amount of air out for my 19l pots but the noise isn't worth it. Here is and 18" air curtain. Super silent and works great. I bought 30" curtains too.. They let even more air out and form around the pot better 👍

Noticed runoff ec getting high in week 4 Increased runoff to lower it below 3. Plants drink around 1.5 l a day each. On 14.06 I gave them bioenhacer, trikologic and biofuse mix. 60 l of nutrient solution is sufficient for around 3 days.
