As you can see this poor girl had a hard night last week but we are happy to say that she survived it. We did have to top most of the branches because they had died off but she is recovering very well. This is going to be a bushy plant and we look forward to seeing her bloom, at the moment we are sorting out placement of all of our ladies! It is soon time and we are very excited! Once we transplant all feeding info will be recorded, it’s been a muddled winter season to say the least!

1/25 - Day 70 / Day 43 Flower - Feeding day I prepared a feeding solution that consisted of the following: - 1 gallon spring water - 5ml of FF Tiger Bloom (1/2 dose) - 10ml of FF Big Bloom (2/3 dose) Adjusted the solution to the following conditions before feeding: - pH: 6.5 - TDS: 328ppm - EC: .7 I gave each of the 5 gallon pots about a half gallon each of the solution, followed by enough non-fertigated spring water to induce runoff (approximately another half gallon). I tested the runoff for both of my 5 gallons and returned the following readings; Z51: - pH: 6.5 - TDS: 799ppm - EC: 1.6 Z52: - pH: 6.5 - TDS: 683ppm - EC: 1.4 Even though I've had my soil conditions dialed in over the last week, I'm still plucking off 5-10 leaves per day that have succumbed to chlorosis.

Everything goes well. I have added a fan for an air flow, it reduced a bit the temperature inside the tent. Also I've made the first watering at day 12, about 2 liters per each 15l pot and added some soil, because the original soil has subsided. I used BAC foliar spray to spray leaves of the palnts

Finally, I found the time to finish the report. Thanks for joining me!

Week 1

"Chugging" along this week. Weather is hot, girls are loving the all time drip system. Forgot that my nutes and hot sun dont mix well and created a bad case of algae. Will monitor more often and maybe increase the drip flow

Hola a todos, Esta semana he regado igual, que la semana con los productos top crop top bloom y top candy 2ml x litro de agua.

Im suprised the tent can contain her everytime I take a peak shes just go bigger lol. My recomendation is to flip this to flower very early or if your lucky grow it outside where it I guess could easily grow to the size of a tree

Week Thirteen Flower Week 7 - so the high humidity bite me, found some budrot on 3 headbuds of the orange sherbet and the gelato. It was easy to remove and everything else looked fine. I got a second venti and pumped up the exhaust fan. This was the problem, I kept the exhaust to low. Luckily after fixing the problem, the run ended without any more problem. At he time I planned the harvest date and decide to wait one more week to get full 8 weeks of flower. So one more week to report, after that the harvest results will be posted. I want to include some pics of the finished flowers, so this will take another week or so to post. Greetings

So WeedSeedsExpress was kind enough to supply me with there Auto-NL. A strain that always lands in the tent every few cycles as its one of my favourite classics. I have grown out a few breeders strains of NL but never ran an Auto version of it so something new in it for myself. a little video of the packing which i thought was quite cool in an old school style cut out booklet. We are a week in, Sorry for lack of photos i ended up having a bit of a rush at time. I germinated 5 and all 5 germed and sprouted but lost one due to an accident in the tent. Just running on some plain water and superthrive for now. These have grown perfectly fine.

Most of them are displaying male characteristics unfortunately. Got the two females and the three that haven't developed sex organs mainling in my greenhouse as of may 26th. Haven't put a grow light on them yet but I should be able to set that up this week

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!!

Final update: Very happy to announce that this dairy had won the sixth place best diary of August 2021. My prize came in yesterday and I'm very happy!! Thank you Growdiaries!! Thank you Fastbuds!!! Thank you all my grow buddies here for the love and support!! Hope to see you all, maybe at a future Growdiaries Meet and Greet? Wouldn't that be a lovely idea, per country and a yearly one on a different continent every year? The Growdiaries Conference. Would be a great Hemp growers fair... I'll keep dreaming and light another one... Big hug BioBuds

I over done the fast plant spray this week I think a slight deformity on the leaves as you can see, but all good, "update" The deformity is on both of these strawberry plants, But has grown out of both this week,

The stretch I experienced this week has me questioning what a stretch really is anyway, cause I've never seen one like this 😅 ...starting to get a little worried with the tent size though... again, amazed with the structuring of this plant. Comparing to other growers who are doing different fast buds strains, definitely not the same for them. True test will come later into flowering!

I think I am worrying myself more than I need too. The calicum defficiency has took over around a half of the fan leaves on 1 of the plants. I don't have much hope in a great yield from this one but fingers crossed my other 2 were caught in time. Have folder fed with a slightly more concentrated spray of cal mag and ph'd water. Whilst keeping a feed, plain ,feed schedule Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a ppm reader so can't say for sure exactly what the problem is but It seems the defficiency has slowed/stopped. Will continue to monitor.

Oh well, 6 weeks have passed since the 12/12 schedule and all is going really well (I think) Skunk 47 gaining some colors and some weight, the green poison tops who were a little behind from their big brothers are catching up and the critical+ 2.0 are struggling to support the bud weight Really happy with the results so far, let’s wait for the finals 3/4 weeks to see them really gaining the real weight and colors Tell me what you think!!
