This week was mostly about getting everything ready for the vegetative phase. I will start to add some nutrients this week. I will first flush out most of the old water that has been running through the system for about 2 weeks now. When the plants get a little bigger I will add some nutrients and try get my EC level up to around 0.7 with the help from the very supportive people over at EHG nutrients. They have offered to sponsor me through this grow with nutrients which will be of great help. They are a local South African company, so for any one from South Africa 🇿🇦 please check them out. I have added an oscillating fan to add to the airflow en strengthen my seedlings whilst they start to grow stronger. Due to my humidity being a bit lower than what I want it to be, I have decided to add an air purifier/humidifier which will hopefully add some humidity to the tent. I am aiming for about 65% RH and will be monitoring this closely. My lights are currently at 40% strength. I am making use of a panel heater to break the winter cold and will be aiming to be at around 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit). I have added an Mycelium bag which is an alternative way to add extra co2 to your grow. This helps the plant to absorb nutrients better and handle the temperatures a bit better. I will be adding photos as the week continues.

Welcome to my Slurircane Diary sponsored by MSNL & Spider-Farmer Week 7, early flip and attempt at reveg into early week 8 but decided I liked the look of her cola potential and decided to throw her into flowering. From the reveg attempt I thought a ratio on/off would be best if it leaned more on the off, so a 13-11 off / on was set for early week 8 and till fattening (when the stretch is over, 'pre flower) This is a bit of a weird one for me, well more a 1st. I'm not 100% sure. But I do remember this getting 3 13.5hr days as did my whole tent. As my cheap timer ran for an extra hrs off when it was meant to be on. So, put it into a flip. And I tried for over a week to reveg, I'm sure if I pushed on. I would of gotten to reveg. (I'm not sure how long it takes, am very pleased though with this spectrum even without the IR that the flip time is quick. So, after a week 7 was finished. I decided to push on to a 13-11 off/on to induce her. I'll increase it to 13-11 on/off in fattening. Sadly has the pre flip and then attempt at reveg make all her nodes very stiff. And near to LST. After pre flower I'll hard defol and attemp to distance the colas. Surprisingly with her been a dom indica her leafs are very Stavia style. Very thin. Would make an ideal candidate for scrog. She is very healthy and been the most responsive with co2/heat. Although growth was stalled from my reveg attempt, I'm sure i cut a good few CM from her Height by reversing it again. I should of looked up how long it takes to reveg 1st. Lessons learnt. I still have an amazing pheno. (I'm a few weeks ahead in Real Time) Defoliation So, this was done lots on this girl. As my plans for her were changed due to poor attention. So, start of wk 7, what I thought was still a few weeks out from me flipping. But, after my abandoned attempt of reveggin. She was in limbo and I decided to risk it with a hard defoliation. (Looks like it was done in pre flower, it wasn't, It was just coming back into veg, but would of taken weeks to get it growing fully again, and at looking I'm happy with it so I pushed again with my Defol to get colas. You can find this on grow weed easy "full tutorial for flowering") am gonna leave her now until she's out of pre flower, she's 35cm or so tall. I don't see putting on much height. As my reveg attempt will for sure hanmer her stretch. Diet Was planning on taking Alga Grow off for the last 10 days r so off grow. So, I only had a few days off it, and its on Alga Bloom now. Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARMER. Just harvested the GranDaddyPurple Auto. (BEST AUTO I'VE EVER GROWN SO FAR, TASTE, SMELL & STRENGHT BEATS ALL PAST AUTOS, BUDS DOWN) will be uploading the weeks on that soon. I've too many diaries. I knew this. So, I plan to do 2 wk updates at a time for 70% of my diaries, so pics and info will be added as those it was a weekly update. Also, I don't put up a harvest wk for a month until the cure. Thanks to my sponsors from MSNL & SPIDER-FARME, look forward to working with your more. And trying a lot more of your products. #convert. Much appreciation to all ppl who stopped by and did your thing. Look forward to seen your work if I know you dropped by of course. Either way. Thanks for stopping by

Good week, I think I am done tucking the scrog for this run, screen has filled out reasonably well and am happy with all the room variables. I did add some beneficial bacteria as my ph spiked a few times and my res tank felt a little slimy.. so fingers crossed that takes care of that.

Hello. This is the end of week 1 and the beginning of week 2 of flowering. I turned these girls over to flowering 6 days ago. So I'm hoping to harvest about Aug 20th or so The plants are doing good and filled out their space so I can't see the floor through them.... Time to flower... Showed some pics of my Peyote's. Lost 2 this year to the cold, but repotted more young ones to make up for the loss. The paper wasps are the least aggressive of the wasps. I can walk in and out of the greenhouse and they don't bother me They just fly around my head to get out or come in. They are great for the garden. I see them flying in, loaded with caterpillar parts and other insects parts for their young. They circle like bombers climbing higher and higher to their nests which they grab with a front leg and swing in. They make open nests and under the white caps are the young. The only time they get upset is when a Yellow jacket Wasp or Bald Faced Hornet come to get their young. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

Last week of flower, I flushed during the last 4 days, I didn't do big flushes I simply water the plants with plain water, last 3 days of complete darkness. I think that next time I will complete the flush and then give 3 days of complete darkness, the fact that the plant is not receiving light makes flushing harder because the plant drinks less water. During the last 3 days, the humidity was always greater than 50% but the plants didn't seem affected. Before I started the flush the pant was only receiving 8h of light. I'm currently drying the plants, the temperature fluctuates between 17 and 19 degrees, I start with 65% humidity and I reduce 1% of humidity every day. I Do a 14 day dry DAY 134 PH - 6.02 Solution Temp - 16.9 PPM-1955 Watering Volume per plant - 4L DAY 136 - Molasses PH - 5.92 Solution Temp - 15.2 PPM-300 Watering Volume per plant - 4L

Las plantas se ven bien, hice una pequeña defoliacion para sacar las hojas grandes que hacian sombra directamente sobre otras ramas. Ademas quite algunas de abajo que me complicaban un poco a la hora de regar.

WEEK 11) DAY1 Changed light schedule from 20/4 to 18/6 which will stay that way until harvest. Now I also start dropping the temperature 1 degree every 3-4 days. You don’t have to do this! I do this so the plants gradually acclimate to the lower temperatures like fall and then the beautiful different colors that come out from every individual Girl are different. (DAY2) light defoliation for an omelette Fill both water 6 gallons ph5.9, put an extra fan under WMZ#1 due to her size I might put a standup fan behind her. (DAY4) tuck leaves down all around the cola’s well my ac infinity 8” fan just broke only 4.5 months old ridiculous. (DAY6) water 6 gallons

Planta linda, com buds com tons de laranja muitos lindos. Com muito polem, deve ser muito boa para fazer haxixe com dry-ice e sobre tudo muito resinosa. Tocar nela é ter certeza que ficara com a mao colando. Pelo contrario sinto que os buds estao piquenos... Nao sei se é por causa da minha lampada pois sinto que os tricomas estao ficando leitosos só que os buds nao engordaram...

The week is starting werry nicely. They keep growing, I think I didn't over or under water them. 9th day I'm starting to get the little conclusion, all the plants which are watered with Green Planet nutrients are looking a little bit bigger than their RQS rivals (when they were in the same day) Well anyways I think it's way to fast to make any conclusions. 2 days ago BlackBerry was bigger than Gg now I think it's the opposite so I won't make any conclusions before I'll smoke from both sides ;) Well its Thursday today, this Saturday I'll go to a local growshop to buy some more coco and 2 more pots so they have to wait 2 days more :) /edit. I decided to count only the days of first 3 ladies, other plants are like 4 or 5 or 6 days behind the first ones.

DAY 56 SINCE FLIP:These girls are really trying to impress now they are so close the finish line. Theyballnhave their own unique look and smell and will be a very welcome addition to the stash box. Wedding cake is an top buddingnbeasty of a lady with some sweet , biscuit smelling and looking trichromes covering her swelling buds. She has burst open with a so many new pistils in the last 2 days that have given her main canopy a great appeal now. Each main has doubled in girth due to this and I think at least another full week for her is in order. Black Ghost O.g has pushed and pushed to get herself noticed with success. Her few buds at the surface are sweet ish smelling with a hint of a spice too. The lower parts are way too light starved to have been developed well but this was due to their poor start. Still pushing trichromes onto.the covered surfaces. She sont yield high but her smoke will.make up for it I feel. Gorilla Glue #4 is my secret favourite. She is so dusty withbtrichs and looks dangerous up close. She is clumped together from her needing so much support and I keep finding random arms on the lower portion of the plant that need bringing up again. She feels so tacky to touch and has a potent sweetness mixed with a spicey tang. I think she will be coming out any day now. Be well folks
