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. ______________________________________ Can't wait to start upgrading the quality of my journals and to hear you all's feedback! Happy growing and good vibes as always 🌱 ______________________________________ 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. [April 24th @ 3pm] Plant 1- (11in.) 2- (9in.) 3- (14.75in.) 4- (13in.) 5- (10.75in.) [April 26th @ 1:30pm] Plant 1- (11in.) 2- (9.5in.) 3- (18in.) 4- (14in.) 5- (11.5in.) [April 27th @ 12pm] Plant 1- (11.5in.) 2- (10.5in.) 3- (20.5in) 4- (15.25in.) 5- (11.5in) [April 29th @ 4am] Plant 1- (12in.) 2- (10.5in.) 3- (23in.) 4- (16in.) 5- (11.75in.) [April 30th @ 3:30pm] Plant 1- (12.25in.) 2- (10.5in.) 3- (25.75in.) 4- (16.75in.) 5- (12in.) ______________________________________ 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! 😎

Buongiorno amici della CampaCavallo 💚💅🏻🔥😍 ... In questo week (8.3.23),il team di disinfestazione CampaCavallo si è dato da fare per salvare il salvabile dai maledetti spider mites 🕸️... Ringrazio molto @MiyaguyOKPolilla per i consigli BIO che mi ha dato, ma purtroppo non avendo a disposizione ne chiodi di garofano, ne bastoncini di cannella, mi sono dovuto arrangiare con la canna dell'acqua💦💦💦 Abbiamo preso ogni pianta, portata all esterno della grow box, e con un bel getto d acqua abbiamo letteralmente spruzzato energicamente le piccole... Tutto perché il merda di spider mites odia l acqua👍🏽 abbiamo anche rimosso le grandi foglie compromesse o troppo infestate.... Speriamo di non averle stressate troppo.... Ma é stato fatto tutto per il loro/nostro bene💚🙏🏼👍🏽 ... Abbiamo anche trattato la grow box con una miscela di acqua e candeggina per disinfettare come si deve🚑 Le foto mostrano il risultato. Ci piacerebbe molto sapere cosa ne pensate... Consigli, critiche... State sintonizzati 👍🏽💚💯👌 BUONA SPANNABIS 2023 A TUTTI I GROWER 👏🏽💚💅🏻🔥😍💯👯‍♀️

Week 3 of veg. In the books and they’re all motoring along nicely. The Alaskan Thunderfuck looks to be sorting itself out so we should have 4 plants for the chopping eventually. Just gotta get em there first. They’re showing no adverse reactions to the heavier nute feed at this stage of development which is yet another feather in the cap for Druid Berkana. I’m immensely impressed with this nute line. Just another boring week of veg. In the books. Can’t wait to see transition take over👍. Background Just a fem run we were able to sneak in to the dutchy cabinet for some extra bud stock. Strain details as follows: QCS: this actually a strain of Alaskan Thunderfuck (Not AK47 as advertised). GD doesn’t have that info up yet. We’ve had it before but never grown it. I remember it being a decent and somewhat sedative indica. Blimburn: This chocolopez strain is very interesting. We’ve been waiting at least 5 years to grow something reminiscent of a chocolate Thai. This one should fit the bill there nicely. AMS: Their Borderliner strain caught my eye so we naturally had to… give it try! No matter how it turns out, this seed co. Has been nothing short of stellar to work with. We’ve got a whole bunch more of their stuff in the hopper for testing on the next cycle🤟. Smiling Tiger: This is an S1 of my buddies cross called Holy Surfer. Still haven’t seen it bud out in pollinated yet but the structure is classic skunk with a big primary cola, tight node spacing and exceptionally vigorous leaf production. The smoke should be interesting and the terp profile is very pungent and sweet.

420 Fastbuds Amnesia Haze Auto Week 7 This week has been awesome. Definitely starting to show her beautiful colors as she's fully into flower. I still spray once a week of 50ml per gallon of PureCrop 1 as a preventive maintenance and I have yet to see any signs of pest. It's still been super hot with Temps into the high 90's but overall with the 2 liters of water daily they seem to be ok. All in all Happy Growing

21/07 Soweit geht es der kleinen ganz gut. Ich habe sie ordentlich entlaubt, da Ihre Blätter die kleinen Triebe verdeckt haben. Einen Tag später sieht sie zwar etwas Kahl aus, aber sie stellt die kleinen Triebe Richtung Licht. Sie ist jetzt mit 2 Podien und 4 Trieben - 8 Trieben - 16 Trieben getoppt worden. Leider haben sich Trauermücken im Livingsoil eingenistet, diese wurden aber schon mit Nematoden und Gelbtafeln bekämpft und sollten in der nächsten Zeit weniger werden.

Super Silver Haze (Zamnesia Seeds) — Flower Week 7 (Recovery) Grower: Dog Doctor Strain: Super Silver Haze Breeder: Zamnesia Seeds Stage: Flower — Week 7 (recovery after localized bud rot) Pots/Medium: 11 L fabric pots — living super soil with Aptus pellets and Plagron support Watering: Hand watering; currently water only (see science below) Lights: F.O.G. Black Series 600W + ThinkGrow ICL-300 (inner canopy) + Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W Control & Monitoring: TrolMaster Hydro-X/Tent-X + WCS substrate sensors Air exchange: Dual 6” filtered exhausts + filtered intake; oscillating fans moving canopy air Current environment (example): day ~29–31 °C, night ~24–26 °C, RH mid 50s–60s, CO₂ ~700 ppm ⸻ Quick recap — seed to the present moment • Germination & early veg: 3/3 germinated via Cannakan; strong, even starts. • Transplant: Into 11 L fabric pots with a super soil base inoculated with Aptus Mycor/Micro mixes and buffered for pH stability. • Veg: Compact, steady growth; conservative feeding with Aptus starter lineup. • Early flower: Fast flower transition, pistils and bud sites stacking quickly. Plagron trio (Power Buds, Sugar Royal, Green Sensation) + Aptus boosters used to enhance bloom development. • Bud rot event: Localized Botrytis found inside one cola; removed quickly and thoroughly. Loss minimal. Immediate steps taken (see below). • Recovery week (this report): Plants responding strongly — dense colas, heavy frosting, explosive aroma. We moved temporarily to water-only feed to stabilize the root zone and let the soil biology drive nutrition. ⸻ What happened and how we dealt with it 1. Detection: Small dark spot discovered deep inside a dense cola. Because rot often starts inside dense clusters, early detection is key. 2. Immediate action: Removed the affected flowers and any suspicious material. Cut generously around infected tissue to avoid leaving spores. Placed waste in sealed bags and removed from the growroom. 3. Sanitation: Cleaned tools, wiped surfaces, checked fans and filters for dust pockets, and increased canopy airflow. 4. Environment adjustments: Increased air movement across and through the canopy; checked extraction; planned AC installation to lower day temps and stabilize RH. 5. Observation & patience: Kept strict daily inspections for any new spots; let plants recover without additional heavy nutrient pushes. Result: the loss was minimal, the rest of the canopy stayed healthy, and the plants rebounded quickly. Dense, frosty colas and an incredibly strong smell are the signs they are back on track. ⸻ Why “water only” right now — the science, explained simply We moved to water-only feeds for a short, strategic period. That decision is conservative and backed by three practical goals: 1. Reduce salt and nutrient spikes: After stress and after tissue removal, roots can be sensitive. Water-only flushes prevent sudden EC spikes that can further stress roots. Salt buildup can inhibit water uptake (osmotic stress); clean water restores osmotic balance. 2. Let the soil biology work: You’re growing in a living super soil with Aptus pellets and biological inoculants. Microbes mineralize nutrients slowly and steadily. When plants are stressed, microbial mineralization becomes more important than high-concentration liquid feeds. Water-only gives beneficial microbes a stable environment to supply what the plant needs. 3. Avoid overstimulating lush growth: At late flower, you want carbohydrate partitioning to favor flower filling and resin production, not new vegetative pushes. Limiting NPK pulses prevents a late vegetative response and encourages the plant to allocate sugars to trichome and calyx growth. Practical note: “Water only” does not mean nutrient-starvation. Your living soil still releases NPK and trace elements. Monitor substrate EC (WCS) and plant appearance; if deficiency signs persist for more than a week, reintroduce a light, balanced feed. ⸻ The gear doing the heavy lifting — why the ICL-300 inner canopy lights matter • ThinkGrow ICL-300 (inner canopy lights): These deliver targeted, diffuse light deeper into the canopy. For dense sativas or hybrids that set flowers lower on the plant, inner-canopy LEDs reduce shading and encourage even bud set on lower nodes. They also reduce the need to strip leaves to reach light—so you can preserve biology and microclimate. • F.O.G. Black Series & Lumatek: Provide high PPFD to the top canopy for strong photosynthesis and sugar production. The combination of powerful top light + targeted inner lights = even canopy carbon distribution and more uniformly fat colas. • TrolMaster + WCS: Real-time data on substrate moisture and EC lets you water by need (you’re already using ~19–25% dryness triggers), which prevents both saturation pockets that encourage rot and drought that stresses plants. • Airflow & filtration: Dual exhausts and oscillating fans keep air moving; carbon filters keep air clean. This is essential to lower local humidity around flowers and prevent new rot pockets. All gear together creates a system: light for sugar, airflow for dryness, monitoring for precision, and soil biology for nutrition. ⸻ Observations this week • Colas: Thickening, dense, frosty. Trichome production visible even with the naked eye. • Aroma: Extremely potent — strong typical Super Silver Haze profile developing (citrus/citrus-haze + spicy/earthy back-notes), likely driven by terpene expression and warm room temps. • Leaves: Minor spotting in places earlier; after CalMag adjustments and water-only period, new growth is healthy and vibrant. • Root zone: Very active — roots visible through fabric, good white root color where checked. ⸻ Risks to watch and mitigation steps (practical, daily checklist) • Risk: Secondary rot pockets — Mitigation: daily inspection, move a small headlamp into canopy to view internals, keep oscillating fans moving air between bud layers. • Risk: High night humidity with cooler temps — Mitigation: install AC / run dehumidifier at night, maintain extraction during lights-off. • Risk: Support failure from heavy colas — Mitigation: pre-position soft ties / netting to support colas now before they get heavy. • Risk: Late-flower nutrient imbalance — Mitigation: watch leaf tips/edges for burn or deficiency. If signs appear, use small, dilute corrective feeds rather than heavy dosages. ⸻ What to expect in the next 1–3 weeks • Short term (next 7 days): Continued fattening of calyxes, sustained trichome increase, aroma intensifies. Plants will drink more as flowers bulk. Keep water-only until the canopy is stable and substrate EC is within your target range. • Mid term (weeks 2–3 from now): Major bulk phase — colas will gain weight and density. Trichomes will move from clear → cloudy (start of potency peak). Expect more resin and heavier terpene bouquet. • Near harvest planning: Start planning drying/curing space and harvest timeline once trichome clouding reaches your target (we’ll plan this together when the time approaches). Also plan to stagger harvests if colas mature at different rates. ⸻ Short educational sidebar — why trichomes explode now (brief) Late flower is all about sugar allocation and secondary metabolism. With high light, steady CO₂, and stable root nutrition, plants convert energy into: • Calyx growth (mass) — the physical body of the bud • Trichome production (resin glands) — metabolically expensive, but essential for protection and reproduction; trichomes store terpenes and cannabinoids which act as plant defense and pollinator signals in nature The combination of your lighting, living soil biology, and current conservative feeding strategy drives both mass and resin production. ⸻ Final practical tips for the diary entry • Post a short video walk-through of the canopy with commentary pointing to the saved areas vs. new growth — that tells the recovery story visually. • Photograph a closeup of a supported, heavy cola to show density and resin. • Note the date of the rot removal and actions taken in the GrowDiaries log — that makes the journal useful for other growers and for troubleshooting later runs. • Keep a small “harvest box” ready: sanitized scissors, nets, gloves, labeled trays — you’ll want them when the time comes. ⸻ Gratitude and perspective we acted fast, used sound horticultural judgment, and let biology and environment do their work. That combination saved the run. Super Silver Haze is responding like a champion — dense, frosty, and unapologetically aromatic.

They surprised me how fast they reached the finish line. I've been flushing them with only water for a few days now. I'm quite pleased by the results, considering that this is my first time in coco. The trichs are getting 50/50 clear/milky and over, so it's harvest time this following week. There's a purple theme going on and I enjoy watching it :D I'm quite sure it's because of the low temps at night.

I just completed my 8th week since the flip, so I flushed each of these girls by running about 2 gal of water through each. I got the PPM down into the 200s, which is about normal for my hard water. They are all displaying some nice big buds, which smell of sweet coffee.

So these ladies are in full swing of flower and the stretch I have tucked any branches I can under my netting too spread out the plants and too fill the tents canapy they are growing about 1 or 2 cm every other day at the moment so tucking under is the order of the week Really into the massive stretch now I am having too move the climate control probe and thermostat every day now and these girls will soon cover the WiFi camera too , probably growing around 2 or 3 cm per 24 hours at this stage , " day 4 of week 5 " The tent is filling up nicely but the fbt7 is a clear winner so far , be is my cock up of snapping the main stem and fixing it ? The ftb7 is double the size of all the other 3 plants and is a very nice little bush , the smoothie has been very consistently healthy and vigorous and is around 22cm now and is one I did not lst , the BlackBerry has finally woken up and is now the same height as the others another plant I didn't lst , the c1 started very vigorously and was strong , them week 3 started too show signs of very early flower , she is now is fully fledged flower at week 5 and looking fantastic , and I was lucky enough too get all the side branches out and bend over the main cola too the netting and has made up for in lst what it lacked in size due too the early flowering ,
