Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc.
My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000.
I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed!
Running 24hr light schedule.
Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F.
Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule.
Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress.

4/29/20 - Update
Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂
For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent.
I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better.

The most current batch of nutrient mixes for was made this morning about (2am 4/29/20) for the 1st and second set of plants.
The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of
(Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom)
It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL.
440ppm @ 98.5°F
890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm
This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again.
The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL.
500ppm @ 98.6°F
992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm
This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule.
I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data.
I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido.
Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra.
Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles.
Riego cada cuatro días.

Nové větve hezky vyrostly. Dám jim ještě 2 týdny a potom bych rád přepnul světlo na 12/12
Na rostlinách se objevují lehké náznaky popálení živinami. Některé listy mají hnědé konečky ale opravdu jen v malé míře
D51 Pondělí:
Použil jsme LST abych udržel rostliny v jedné výšce.
Během LST mi z 50% praskla 2 větve u HazeBerry 2 ve spoji po posledním zastřižení . Jedna větev je v pořádku. Druhá po 3 dnech vypadá že přežije i když vypadala velmi špatně.
Holky dostaly 1L vody s 0,5ml/1l RQS Booster Bigger Flowers.
D54 Čtvrtek:
Poslední velké LST a Defoliace, kdy jsem z každé rostliny odstranil celkem 16 spodních listů
D55 Pátek:
Dostaly 1,5L vody s vypsanými živinami
Holky jsem postříkal výluhem z hmyzího trusu, který má repelentní účinky téměř na vše.

Seen some good progress over the last week. Have been tinkering with water cycles. Got it up to 3 x 15min cycles in a 24 hour period, but i think I'm going to go back to two 15min cycles in 24hrs because she seems to wilt a bit in the morning. I'm wondering if the cycle an hour before lights out is too much. I've reset the cycles to 15min an hour after lights on and again 8 hours later for 15 min. I'll see if that improves things. I'm also going to change the reservoir for a fresh batch of water, nutrients and ph balance today or tomorrow. I've also got a sister plant on the go, but she's about a week behind in growth as she germinated later. She's also doing well, but obviously smaller than her big sister.

159 dienos!!! Na, mano projektas baigėsi, tad visas šis augimas buvo neįtikėtinai įdomus :) ir aš jau pasimokiau iš savo klaidų ir padariau išvadas, ką kitais metais darysiu kitaip :) Nors tai autoveislė, jai prireikė daug laiko, kol pražydo, todėl mano balkonas ilgai buvo gražus :) jai reikėjo dar savaitės brendimo, kad išskleistų apatinius žiedus, bet, deja, oras labai pablogėjo ir pradėjo daug lyti, per vieną naktį pamačiau 2 supuvusius pumpurus, tad nerizikuoju ir nuimu derlių :) „Biotabs“ maistinės medžiagos išgelbėjo šį augimą, nes turėjau atostogas, kai mergytė liko viena, tuo metu negalėjau jos maitinti vandeniu su maistinėmis medžiagomis, išskyrus gryną vandenį per atstumą su „Wi-Fi“ laistymo įranga, todėl nusprendžiau į žemę pasėti „Biotabs“ tablečių (jos nuostabios), žydėjimo metu vis duodavau jai papildomų „Plagron“ stimuliatorių (jie fantastiški), po pirmojo laistymo pastebėjau ryškų, gardų terpenų kvapą, o jų žieduose gerokai padaugėjo :) Taip pat surinkau daug cukrinių lapų, iš kurių gaminsiu burbulinį maišą :) taigi, apibendrinant: neįtikėtinai smagus augimas, daug sėkmių, įgijau naujų žinių, kiekvienais metais mano mergaitės atrodo vis geriau ir geriau, esu labai laiminga :) ir sėkmės visiems, (po derliaus nuėmimo bus atnaujinimas :)).

Freaked out this week cause I couldn't smell the plants anymore. Turns out I caught covid, yay! Not much content because I was resting up mostly. Getting plants ready for chop, many seed packs say you can chop by week 8 of flower - that's actually the earliest one can harvest. If given the time like a home grow, one can wait 1-2 weeks longer to harvest. Also in the cases of sativas like mine, they can flower for up to 12-16 weeks.

So, very first run with the new set up which I'm excited for. Currently just getting the environment dialled in. Running a RDWC system, along with LEDs, the recipe for success.
Running some great genetics from seed stockers (purple punch).
Will be back with an update soon, for now enjoy the pictures and videos I upload. FlavoursUK
Day 6. Girls doing well. Roots hit the water so expecting some nice growth now. pH fluxing between 5.9/6.0 which is good as that's where I want it, especially for veg. Cant wait to see what I can do with this. Stay tuned.

F39: if everything keeps going at this pace it should be done in about 15-20 days. Shes not expanding as much now, the leaves are fading, getting stickier and smellier.

Been a slow transition week, starting to see pistils but not flowering been on 12-12 just under a week so expecting to see some flowers soon, gave some 4-10-3 with IBA so hopefully she is putting out extra roots before she starts to flower, I know my cuttings root better under 12-12 so fingers crossed. Hoping root & grow does the good job.

I am increasingly convinced that I will have to cut GG3 first (probably at the end of this week, given the darkening of all those trichomes) and in at least a week (if not more) GG2
come on girls!

❤️🌱💡😽💨Week 9 is here!! We reduced light hours from 20h to 18h..I know being this far in flower it sounds idiotic but we're trying to give them more down time to recover because we (well I did lol) burned the ever living crap out of a few of the babies at 18 inches, lesson learned..the SP-3000 is no joke, it's very intense.. we raised the light to 22" as well.. using autoflowers to dial in wasn't one of my brighter ideas but live and learn lol..besides, we have some killer photoperiod strains immediately on deck and this yield is still looking pretty good considering.. everyone is getting a (very) little bit of P,K and cal-mag with every watering..we're also adding a few ml of grow too.. all new growth has a great color...thanks for reading if you chose to do so and happy harvests everyone! ❤️

Color looks great on all new growth! I'd really like to try this strain again now that we've got distance set..despite the mishaps they still look like they'll give up a pretty good yield but I suspect it could of been bigger if we got that week and a half back ,but I can't be upset, at our row of good sized colas that look and smell fabulous! ❤️😽💨

Ever since I turned to mars hydro I have double sometimes nearly quadrupled my yields I first had with eBay lights (meh) I have never looked back since and gained so much respect from the community and the breeders too! And to hold the sponsors I do shows me that I am doing something right and I show appreciation to all who support! And that’s why I take a different effort to be fair and document you all! Even though I’m aware your businesses I just can’t be bias when it comes to the greatest I think you all are! Thank you for choosing me! (No I’m not the only one) just showing the love back as best as I can! 💚💚💚💚💚 thank you

She is experiencing a general yellowing all over. I contacted Advanced Nutrients support and they consulted me to increase the feeding. Let’s hope that she recovers fast.
On the other hand, she keeps growing buds. Maybe a little stunned. That’s why I am waiting another 2 days for lollipoping.

Since this diary started in the middle of Week 4 of flower, many of the details about how we got to that point have remained a mystery.
In previous updates I mentioned how my last attempt at growing this cut resulted in a plant that outgrew my space. I had a long veg time and used a 5 gallon pot. That information allowed me to exercise caution on this grow because I knew how big this plant can get when given an opportunity. With that in mind, I only gave her 9 days after transplant from the aerocloner before moving her to the flower tent.
My pervious experience dictated that this plant exhibits significant lateral branching. I top most of my plants to encourage this kind of growth, but due to the short veg time and for the sake of experimentation, I decided to not top her this time. You can see that this has resulted in a large main stem cola, but also (thanks to knowing her growth pattern) several rather large secondary colas as well.
As an aside, some may look at this and wonder "yeah, but what about the yield?" I have never weighed a harvest. I grow for myself only, therefore yield is not something I concern myself with. I just don't care. I fill one quart mason jar and the rest is given away or turned into hash. My scheduling is such that I harvest approximately one plant a month; therefore I have enough smoke to last a VERY long time.
While this plant will probably go 12+ weeks, with only 9 days of veg, it’s still comparable to a 10 week variety that would require a longer veg time to produce a similar yield. And, frankly, I have close to a dozen cultivars in my ‘consumable’ collection and this is the only one I reach for prior to 9 pm. She has a very clear and motivational high. Not overpowering, but I never test her ceiling, so she could get one blasted if necessary.
This would also be a great plant for someone having trouble eating, because my appetite is essentially limitless when I’m smoking this. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that I have put on a few lbs since I’ve had her in my collection?
