Did some cleaning up of undergrowth and discovered some weird symptom on the lower growth that was removed. I have done some research but have not found anything. Any help is appreciated. Other than that everything is looking good. Taking longer than I expected but otherwise happy with the way things are going. I believe I am having some circulation issues due to poor design of my rdwc set up. The plant furthest from the reservoir is showing some stress. I am in the process of designing a new setup that will definitely circulate better.

Entering the 8th week going strong. More too come.

Looks like I have to dial back the nutes a bit. I'm going to give them a day or two cuz I let the reservoir get pretty low and I think that's what caused that one plant to get burnt. Once again thanks for stopping in! ✌️👊

I feed light the first week then I bring the ppm up to about 1050 to 1200 slowly cause we all knw that these nutrients can burn and will

We’re officially in the final week for my Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds! 🌟 This beautiful girl has had a very quick flowering phase, but looking at the trichomes, they’re right where they need to be so no complaints! She will be flushed throughout this week and then harvested and hung up to dry next week. I’m super happy with how she’s developed!😋

Day 21, These 3 are a pain in the 🍑 i know why they look like they do🤦‍♂️🏻 (K) but i just don't get it. I'm already pushing these 3 to EC 1.8 but they just keep hungry🤷 I'm gonna switch to Greenhouse powderfeeding for a little while to get them a higher dose of K. Hope this solves the issue. Rock on Growmies 🌱

UPDATE - Saturday 13th It’s been ok. The reason I have stopped filling out the amount of water I’m giving them is because they don’t get watered daily. I water them once every three or four days depending on other things going on. With soil having a how much water per 24h is pointless because the whole point of soil is to dry out slowly and if you want a big plant you end up in a HUGE pot which takes like a week or more to dry out! The amount I water is the amount of water in the bottom of the reservoir + 1/3 more.

Week 10 Flower — The Beauty Before the Finish This week marks a very special chapter in the Eternity Grow Cup. As we approach harvest, the garden is simply glowing with beauty. Every corner, every canopy, every branch tells a story — and this week, I’ve taken the time to slow down and capture that story as best I can through the lens of my camera. All the photos you’ll see in this update were taken with care and intention. I use my Sony camera in full manual focus mode, and I don’t just snap and go — I spend time with each plant, each angle, waiting for that perfect moment when everything aligns. These are not just photos to document — they’re my attempt to reflect the feeling of the room, the energy of the grow, and the soul of each plant. Just like with the videos, I don’t shoot randomly and decide later. I record what matters, and what I record, I use. It keeps me focused, organized, and deeply connected to the process — and I believe it helps me tell the story more clearly, whether through stills or moving pictures. All five Runtz phenos are finishing beautifully. Each one expressing unique traits, but all carrying the same stunning quality — dense, clean, colorful, resin-rich flowers that fill the room with pride. This garden is finishing spotless, and I couldn’t be happier. This week’s YouTube episode will reflect that beauty. If you’re seeing this here on GrowDiaries, I highly recommend checking it out in full 4K once it’s live — there are moments that simply can’t be translated in photos alone, even though I try my best. But for those who love the details, the full spread of pictures is right here, as always. t this point in flower, the girls are not eating — they’re just drinking clean water with nothing but System Clean in the reservoir, at a rate of 0.25 ml per liter. This is part of a gentle, prolonged flush phase I like to implement, giving the plants a chance to metabolize and fade naturally. The goal is to promote clean, vibrant flowers that finish with optimal expression, without rushing the process. No forced flush, just time and care. Lighting-wise, the spectrum has been tuned with precision — we’re currently running 40% on the whites, with reds and UVs at 100% to drive trichome development, resin production, and color expression in these final days. The plants are loving it — they’re soaking in the deeper wavelengths that signal the end of their life cycle and responding with a final push of energy. And yes — we’ve been running 11 hours of light and 13 hours of darkness from the very start of flower. It’s not the usual 12/12, and it comes with its pros and cons. On the upside, it helps speed up ripening slightly, encourages more compact flower formation, and mimics the natural seasonal decline in daylight. On the flip side, it slightly reduces the overall DLI (daily light integral), so you need to ensure your PPFD and spectrum are dialed in just right to avoid sacrificing yield. For me, the trade-off is worth it — the plants are expressing themselves beautifully, finishing strong, and packing on the final magic. Now it’s your turn — I’d love to hear from you. Which phenotype is standing out the most to you in this garden? Which one is catching your eye with its colors, its fade, its structure, or just that vibe that speaks to your soul? Is it the frost? The density? The posture? Each of these girls has her own personality, and I know many of you have been following closely — so drop a comment, let me know: which one is your favorite? Which one would you take home? This run has officially earned the Dog Doctor Official Wax-Sealed Stamp of Approval. These genetics are beautiful — expressive, vibrant, clean. It’s been a joy to grow them, and an even greater joy to share this journey with all of you. Of course, we still have the final word coming after harvest, drying, and curing — that’s when the full picture reveals itself. But until then, based on everything we’ve seen and lived in this grow… this is the real deal. To everyone following the journey — thank you. To the sponsors, the community, the silent observers, the passionate growers, the haters, the lovers — I see you all, and I appreciate every bit of energy you send. This cup has been about more than just growing. It’s been about sharing. Connecting. Creating something beautiful together. And we’re almost there. Next stop: harvest? provably yes lets see !

Hello this is the end of week 3 and the beginning of week 4 of veg. These girls seem a little wilty, The soil is wet. I think the light might be a bit too strong for them. It's at 45% I'll turn it down 5% and see how they are tomorrow. They look good though. Nice green leaves. I'm topping them this week to get more tops going. And they get a tomato cage each too, to push the branches out and something to tie the big bud to. OK. Have Fun Out There. Chuck.

Going to pull the greener 2 bubbas and the biscotti on the right Sunday and let the other ones finish up together

Dump de lo que fue esta semana. Seguimos ajustando con lst la estructura que quiero y empezamos a la transición a flora. Esta semana será la última de vegetativo donde trataremos de sacar clones (esquejes) de ambas. Ya que he estado mirando videos y tomando información de cómo hacerlo, creo tener una idea de cómo hacerlo sin fallas en el intento. La próxima semana nos veremos realizando estos esquejes y veremos el avance de esta última semana. Recuerden que todo lo estoy haciendo de forma empírica y sin conocimiento previo. Todo ha sido con apoyo a videos de otros growers e información de distintas páginas. Gracias por estar aquí y compartir conmigo esta primera experiencia!

Que pasa familia, vamos con la novena semana de floración de estas Orange Sherbet Fast Flowering, de FastBuds. Agradezco a Agrobeta todos los kits obtenidos de ellos 🙏. Vamos al lío, El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 22/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%, añadimos ya varios productos de la gama de Agrobeta. Las próximas semanas veremos cómo avanzan. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Plants are continuing to ripen, I’m going to start flushing the older one tomorrow. The younger one still has a lot of white pistils, especially on some specific colas, so I’m gonna give it at least one more round of nutes before I start flushing her. These gals have been chugging their water recently, I’m changing the res like twice a week at this point :0 Finally got the first plant that I harvested into cure, pulled a whopping 50 grams from it so I am ecstatic about that, literally double what I was hoping for. These 2 are looking waaaaay larger and fatter so I can only imagine how much they will yield each... I could be looking at a 1/3 lb harvest!!!!

Week 7!🎢 She s the biggest one😧 Buds everywhere For the smell,you open the door in a candy shop delicious 🤤🍭

13/07/2020 - growth looking good. Highered lights to try to get plant to stretch 14/07/2020 - plants green and seems to be responding well to nutrients. 15/07/2020 - all looking good

Every day the whole plant iis getting heavier and the buds are growing bigger minute by minute... Thank you Barney’s Farm for such a super quality of every your seed and produce!...

24/01/2024 Spread her out! Time for the show. Welcome to my "Barrel Of Laughs" look what shes grown in lol 25/01/2024 Lights on and moved the pot to the left side of the tent, then sorted out the canopy with the scrog! Fed her with extra seaweed to the mix. Unfortunately, she got burnt. I made the mistake of moving the light too close, overfeeding, and overusing 12% food-grade hydrogen peroxide. Conclusion: Well, onwards and upwards! I need to sort this out. Since I used hydrogen peroxide, flushing is a bad idea. I don't want to reactivate what's settled in the leaves and soil until it's no longer active. I removed all the badly damaged leaves, likening it to a necessary amputation, but luckily I'm at the early stages of flower. I'll keep a close eye on her. 25/01/2024 Mid-day Not looking good; the new growth is the same after the flush. 25/01/2024 Lights out! Can't believe I spoiled the grow, but she'll hopefully recover. The lights, particularly the sk600 and Cropmaster, are too intense and powerful. I'm wiring up a dimmer switch to reduce it to 420 watts. The Cropmaster will be removed until maturity as having over 1000 watts of LED in a small tent is too much. 26/01/2024 Mid-day Check Time! She's looking a lot better. Taking photos is a good calf workout and lower back exercise when shooting at 0.6x at 12m. There are positives to all the negative occurrences during the growing, raising, and breeding of these plants. Weed can inspire creativity, debate, contemplation, and intelligence. It's important to focus on the positive aspects these plants can bring. 26/01/2024 Temps are more normal now since removing the Cropmaster, which was very powerful. Sleepy time: 24-25°C; Daytime: 27-28°C. 27/01/2024 In recovery and doing well. Bright moon tonight. Mid-Day: She's now ready for the full tilt. I've slowly guided the colas out and all the branches looked similar in size, which is why she's ready to grow straight up. There will be a beautiful green screen underneath! I'll coin this technique 'The SpaceProvider' as it maximizes the canopy and undergrowth space. It took me two hours to sort this tonight, and she will straighten up properly in three days. The dimmer didn't work due to incorrect volts, but I managed to reduce the light to 10% today by tapping its relay wires. Mid-day: Looking a bit better. I sorted a few branches out to rearrange and ensure they will grow straight. There are definitely no free radicals left in this plant, and the fresh new growth is a positive sign. 24/01/2024 Preparing for upcoming growth spurt during flowering phase. 25/01/2024 Adjusted the scrog to accommodate the impending growth spurt. Allowing the plant to stretch freely. Will need to reposition a few colas as needed but expecting smooth sailing from here onward. Late-day temperature check: 27-28°C. 26/01/2024 Daytime temperature inside the tent remains in the 27-28°C range, similar to pre-Cropmaster lighting. Planning to implement the Cropmaster light closer to the bloom phase as we have a way to go. Committed to only guiding the upward growth and not interfering with the flowers. Each bud requires a leaf for optimal growth. Embracing a playful wordplay: "I will need to leave the flowers alone, just a little friendly play of words." I'm looking through the window, the window to your heart! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nw_ob4IeOo 27/01/2024 That was a lot of supercropping today, my goodness! Even my thumb and index fingers are aching now, but hey, thumbs up for a job well done; I'll store that in my mental index book to reminisce about later when it's all over to click through! Peaceful mind 🧠, at least the canopy will be flat, unlike my occasionally bouncy head - Slowly walks quietly away to Mediate. It looks like it'll add an extra week to the harvest date. Instead of the 8th of February, we're looking at the 15th to 17th of February for when she'll be ready, but you just can't predict with Hazes; they seem to need like 13 weeks at times. I mean, March for harvest 😆. I'm no comedian, but everyone seems to be laughing at me now. Sometimes, we have to poke fun at ourselves; it's good for the spirit 👏 🙌 ✨" "I've got two extractor fans set up, one bringing in clean air and the other pushing it out. Yesterday I noticed that the extractor out fan was off before bed, due to the weight of the cables pulling it loose. The kettle lead must have come loose, but it's all sorted now." "I know what you might be thinking; he's going to get popcorn nugs by fussing and stressing the plant in the early stages of flowering. I did mention in the article that there might be a little risk, with a pun about nuggets. Honestly, I believe I'll still yield 1lb just because of the light and growing technique used, and the extended time in long veg." I accomplished what i stated using this DIY Budmaster GoD 9 250w for the vegetative stage and 450w for flowering, drawing only 320w wall power, achieving a yield of 11 ounces. Conversely, the SK600 draws 610 watts from the wall. If I can avoid further mistakes and ensure proper feeding during maturity, I anticipate a minimum of 18 ounces. With over 80 colas, the close proximity to the light, and abundant breathing space, I've developed a unique growing technique which I've dubbed "The Space Provider," due to its ability to ensure every corner of the tent is utilized for cola growth. As a shorter version, I've considered naming it "SpaceyPro." 🤔 Bring in the reflective mylar mat for under her! *_______________*_____________*_______________* #A Brief Article Summary of This Week's Discussions & Disasters! ______________________________________________ Title: From Defoliation Disaster to Cannabis Cultivation Wisdom: A Cannabis Grower's Saga So, there I was, thinking of performing a routine defoliation on my prized Forgotten Haze Cakes, a 100% sativa strain with a long flowering period from Terpzy Mutant genetics and feminized seeds. Little did I know that this seemingly simple task would unleash a comedy of errors, leading me to discover the vital importance of precision in organic cannabis cultivation. As I lovingly tended to my plants, I reached for some hydrogen peroxide - 12% food-grade, of course - to keep everything clean and healthy. After all, research has taught me that using hydrogen peroxide can be beneficial in preventing root diseases and promoting healthy root growth. However, in a classic case of good intentions gone haywire, my well-meaning application ended up in a rather unexpected chemical reaction. Who knew that bacteria from my hands and a bit too much light would turn my peaceful grow operation into a psychedelic mishap? As I gazed in bewilderment at the unexpected brown shading on the leaves, I couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. It was as if my plants had suddenly developed a rebellious streak and decided to rebel against my well-intentioned care. I mean, really, who needs a science experiment when you have cannabis plants with their own flair for drama? Unraveling the aftermath of this defoliation debacle, I realized that beneath the chaos lay a valuable lesson in the art of cannabis cultivation. Precision, my friends, is the secret ingredient. It's all about applying the proper measurements and foreseeing the potential consequences before diving headfirst into the world of organic plant growing. Now, about using hydrogen peroxide on cannabis plants, it's crucial to dilute it properly. A popular recommendation is to prepare a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide mixed with water in a 1:5 ratio for watering your plants. This provides the benefits of oxygenation at the root zone without harming the plants. Timing is also essential; it's typically recommended to administer the hydrogen peroxide solution during the watering schedule, ensuring that the roots receive adequate oxygenation for healthy growth. Following this incident, I delved deeper into my research, seeking advice from seasoned growers and multiple reputable sources. The experience instilled in me the importance of thorough investigation and informed decision-making when it comes to plant care. I learned that even the most well-intentioned actions can have surprising outcomes, but with extensive research and knowledge, one can minimize the chances of such mishaps. To complement the hydrogen peroxide, I also learned the benefits of diatomaceous earth, natural and effective pest control and soil amendment. After researching extensively, I discovered that applying a thin layer of diatomaceous earth to the soil surface helps deter pests like aphids, mites, and other unwanted visitors while promoting healthy root development. To apply diatomaceous earth, lightly dust it around the base of the plants and on the soil surface, taking care to avoid excessive buildup. As I embraced the twists and turns of this growing process, I couldn't help but ponder the amusing parallels between cannabis cultivation and life itself. We all aim and miss at times, but it's all part of the growth process - mind the pun. Just as in cultivating cannabis, it's essential to adapt, learn from our experiences, and continually strive for improvement. In the midst of all the chaos, amidst the pre-flowering stage of my beloved Forgotten Haze Cakes, I found myself inadvertently learning the intricate needs of my plants. And what a wild journey it has been! I can't help but see the humor in it all. After all, every mishap has its own little nugget of wisdom, right? Now, armed with this newfound insight, I plan to pass on this treasure trove of knowledge to fellow growers and those venturing into the enchanting world of cannabis cultivation. Precision, chemical reaction unpredictability, and the foresight to foresee potential consequences - these are the valuable gems I've gathered from this unpredictable turn of events. So, to all the aspiring cannabis cultivators out there, remember - every mishap holds a lesson. Embrace the unexpected, learn from your plants, and be ready for a surprise twist in your grow. Who knows, it might just turn your next gaffe into a hilarious story to share with your fellow cannabis enthusiasts! In the end, what started as a defoliation disaster has blossomed into a valuable experience, reminding me that even in the wildest of mishaps, there's a silver lining or, should I say, a luscious green lining? In the aftermath of the hydrogen peroxide mishap, a deeper understanding of the science behind its effects on the plants unfolded. Hydrogen peroxide, often used as a root boost and cleaner during or after feeds, should be approached cautiously in organic cultivation. When used inappropriately, it can have unintended and adverse effects on the delicate ecosystem of the cannabis garden. The chemical composition of hydrogen peroxide causes it to act as an oxidizer, releasing oxygen upon degradation. This reaction can be beneficial in certain contexts, such as in soil aeriation, but if incorrectly applied, it can result in detrimental outcomes. During the mishap, the hydrogen peroxide inadvertently reacted with micro metals in the diatomaceous earth, which was being used as animal food grade. This led to an unexpected chain reaction, causing the release of free radicals and a bleaching effect on the plants' leaves. Additionally, the application of hydrogen peroxide resulted in the burning of bacteria present on and within the leaf veins. This process, similar to the effect of light burn, contributed to the browning and twisting of the leaves. When leaves are exposed to excessive light or heat, they can become brown and subsequently twist up, exhibiting signs of distress. These combined effects not only altered the aesthetic appearance of the plants but also had a profound impact on their nutrient uptake, as I had elaborated upon earlier in the article. The intricate interplay of chemical reactions and biological processes within the cannabis garden underscores the necessity for precision and comprehensive knowledge in organic cultivation practices. It is a compelling reminder that every action, every component introduced to the garden, must be carefully considered for its potential consequences. The delicate balance of life within the ecosystem demands an astute understanding of the science behind each element employed in cultivation practices. This incident, though initially wrought with challenges, has ultimately deepened my comprehension of the nuanced relationship between the cannabis plants and their environment. It underscores the profound interconnectedness of the elements at play within the garden and serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the cannabis plants.

I might need to remove some colas because there's just way too many in this 2x4 space. She'll need air circulation to grow big colas.

Will keep a close eye on her pull on the Scrog during week 11. She's in her finally state now, ready to grow and bloom. Few of the flowers are showing signs of fresh new pistils. ''Crash & Sonic: Did a Dashing, Smashing Job Cleaning up'' Applied a fresh layer of top soil and 4 Litres of Distilled Water with Hydrogen Peroxide 1:5. Did a Spray Feed with Aloe Pro Natural Nutes 1;5. 30/01/2024 Mid-day: Spread her out more and re arranged again. I need to leave this plant alone. I will prefect this growing technique, I see a few mistakes I made on guiding her, rushed it a little. Can't wait to see the back-end of this plant though, lol. All the mistakes are my fault, not the plant's obviously, but you know how it goes in the garden. Little voice: "I'm taking stock of all the errors and looking to learn from them. I know I've made some missteps with my organic soil and feeding schedule, and it's time to address these issues before my next attempt" I think the timing of my feeding schedule and letting the soil dry out has been off, which may have led to the proliferation of bad bacteria in the soil. Additionally, I suspect that the wire I've been using may be causing the plant to react negatively, resulting in what looks like a poison-induced response on her stalks and stems. I've also noticed some open wounds from overdone supercropping on my part. Researching on Cannabis Organic Soil Making: After some research, I've found that making quality organic soil for cannabis cultivation requires a deep understanding of soil composition, nutrient cycles, and microbial activity. Using organic compost is essential to provide the right blend of nutrients and beneficial microorganisms to support the plant's growth. By making my own organic compost, I can ensure that it's free from any harmful contaminants and tailored to the specific needs of cannabis plants. Furthermore, I've learned that the soil needs to be well-aerated to ensure proper drainage and air circulation for the roots. This is important for maintaining a healthy microbial population in the soil, which facilitates nutrient uptake and overall plant health. It seems that my soil may have become compacted and lacking proper aeration, which could be contributing to the issues I've been experiencing. According to my research, the feeding schedule for cannabis plants is crucial, especially when working with organic soil. I've realized that I need to be more attentive to the timing and frequency of feeding to prevent the soil from drying out excessively, as this can disrupt the balance of beneficial microorganisms. From what I've read, trying to maintain a consistent moisture level in the soil is key to ensuring the well-being of these microorganisms, which in turn supports the health of the plants. Concerning the use of wire, I've come to understand that certain materials can have negative effects on plants. In my case, it seems that the wire I've been using may be leaching harmful substances into the soil, resulting in the plant's adverse reaction. I'll need to look for alternative methods for supporting the plants to avoid any further issues. Dealing with a Sensitive Haze Strain: I've also discovered that the Haze strain I've chosen to grow can be quite sensitive to its environment and feeding regimen. This can make it more prone to reacting negatively to any irregularities or contaminants in the soil. I've definitely underestimated the level of care and attention this strain requires, especially when it comes to feeding. This is a valuable lesson to keep in mind for my future growing endeavors. Moving Forward: Taking this step back and doing the research has shed a lot of light on the mistakes I may have made. Going forward, I plan to make necessary adjustments to my approach. Firstly, I'm going to focus on creating a high-quality organic compost to ensure that the soil is rich in beneficial microbes and free from any harmful substances. I'll pay close attention to the moisture levels and aeration of the soil, as well as refining my feeding schedule to better suit the needs of the sensitive Haze strain. In addition, I'll seek out alternatives to the wire support I've been using, to eliminate any potential sources of contamination for the plant. In conclusion, I'm encouraged by the opportunity to learn from these challenges and improve my growing techniques. As frustrating as it can be to face setbacks, I believe that overcoming them will ultimately make me a better grower. I'm looking forward to applying these insights and making the necessary changes in my approach to achieve better results in the futurE. 31/01/2024 Midnight for the plant time: I've lowered temps: 21c at night, 24C Daytime: should help will healing and recovery.

Day 64.. Just truckin along.. Noticed some nute burn on the leaf tips.. So im going back down to 1000ppm.. Plus the runoff was coming out at like 1700ppm at times.. Even after feed, water, water.. Maybe its just too much for a cup grow also.. Since the water is drunk up so quickly.. Im guessing all the salts are being left behind in the medium.. Plant is still healthy asf.. Calyxes should be fattening up pretty soon! Wish I knew what strain this was.. Ugh... Day 65.. Judging by the calyxes that have already swollen up.. These are gonna be some very nice, dense nugs.. Trichomes everywhere.. Seems like it may not be ready when they say Bloody Skunks are normally ready.. More like a sativa.. I really wish I would have got what I paid for.. For all I know this could be some CBD strain.. Ugh.. Still gonna grow it out and see what happens.. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit" lol... ... Later... I been watering 2 - 3 times daily.. That's 1 negative thing about growing in cups.. This is my 3rd or 4th I've grown in a cup.. I'm impressed.. Although I do see it hurting yield slightly.. I guess we will see with what comes of this grow... Day 66.. Ok.. So maybe this is a Bloody Skunk... The leaves are starting to show purple.. The stems are deep dark purple in many spots.. Guess that different phenos can sometimes come out looking the exact opposite.. Still learning.. Whoops 😆 ... Later... She's chuggin water like crazy.. It has been pretty warm in the tent lately.. Hard to keep it down but 82F - 84F at the most.. But it sometimes will sit that high.. It has hit 86F - 88F.. I use 2 AcuRite Temp and Humidity Monitors.. One on top of the light and second just randomly placed in the corner on the pole about canopy height but both read only 1F difference. There are some leaves turning slightly purple.. Honestly, I think this light has been burning the tops.. Not very bad.. But I noticed alot of yellowing on my WW at the tops.. And just got worse toward the end.. And a little foxtailing as well, I think.. But I am seeing slight yellowing on the top leaves of this one.. Not bad.. But I do see it slightly.. Other than that.. And the abuse I have put her through.. She is happy and healthy asf.. Still not for sure but this very well may be a damn Bloody Skunk.. Let's see what happens... Day 68.. Just another day flowering.. Pistils are still white as can be.. Calyxes are still tiny but covered in trichomes.. The calyxes should start fattening up... Aaaany day now lol.. Seems like she's gonna be a long flowering girlie.. I've watered with just CalMag the last 3 days but the runoff PPM is still reading 900-1000.. Not sure whats going on.. Guess I should do a major flush and re-feed some time today. I'm thinking of trying out organic dry amendments in coco in the future.. Seems pretty simple.. Just need to time everything right which shouldn't be too difficult.. But anyways.. Its been a good week for the girl.. Nothing like keeping your lady happy! ... Later... I used a whole liter of pHed water without CalMag to flush and mixed up a new batch of nutes. I have added some Floralicious Plus to the mix also.. I'll note that on next weeks page. I only use 5 drops per Liter.. Which is about .25mL as it says to use.. Should help the trichome and terpene production. To be completely honest.. I'm not sure when to add Floralicious Plus.. After adding CalMag?? I've just been adding it after everything.. In this order... Silica, CalMag, Micro, Grow/Bloom, Bloom Booster, Floralicious Plus.. I havent noticed any lockout or anything.. So I guess it's working lol.. But I would still like to know the order it goes in case something starts fucking up. Day 69.. Not sure what these marks are.. It's only on this 1 leaf.. Noticed it yesterday and today it has gotten a little worse.. W... T... F... When I got home from work the tent got up to 90F.. The leaves looked lifeless.. I watered and got the temps down to 85F and 2 hours later she perked back up.. Scared me for a sec.. She's all good now.
