WEEK 7 This week went pretty badly. The plant produced a lot of hermaphrodite growth, and I even considered cutting it down completely. In the end, I only removed all the pollen sacs and cut out that entire area. I hope the damage isn’t too severe. Other than that, the plant seems to be doing very well. It has grown enormously during the stretch. Now I’m hoping to still get a few decent buds. PPFD: 750µmol/m²/s Water: 2x water 1x nutrient solution Vpd: 1,6Kpa

Flower Week 3 / Day 2: The plants each received 2 liters of water and nutrients. I only gave them half the dose of fertilizer. They are doing wonderful. The leaves have a rich green color and are praying. Flower Week 3 / Day 5: Today I defoliated them again a little, as some parts were getting a bit too bushy. They are now quite sticky and the trichomes glisten in the light. Unfortunately, it doesn't look quite the same on the video. All of Taylor's buds develop evenly. In Beyoncé's case, one half is already well developed and the other half behaves completely differently. In any case, both are healthy. Perhaps it is also due to the genetics of the plant.

2.2. - Seems like I'm still doing something wrong. My plants got more yellow. Watered 💧 4.2. - I've added and adjusted some wires. Also, I've decided to defoliate a bit...at least the most yellow parts. Buds are swelling and getting more frosty each day ❄️ 5.2. - Watered 💧 7.2. - I think that I am making the rookie mistake of underwatering and that's the cause of yellowing of plants closest to the LED. Let's hope it that ✌️ Watered 💧 8.2. - Week wrap-up: It seems like plants like more water. Buds are getting more fat and sugar coated each day ❄️ Also the smell got more strong and bit fruity when touching them 🍎 🍦 2.2. - 8.2.2024

The stretch has definitely begun. No issues whatsoever. I turned the lights up to 250W and bumped the PPM to 950. Thinking about adding another LED to tent - these things are going to be out of control! The GSC in the 64L res is almost exactly on the same schedule as the 1L, which is 5 days older. the 1L is obviously in the lead in terms of size, but the 64L isn't far behind. I honestly think they'll both end up being almost identical...

Beginning of week... I went ahead and gave the medium a little bit of a flush today. Finally figured that its gonna take 3L to get a decent amount of runoff.. Seems to dry out pretty fast too.. Might need to water daily.. For sure every other day, if not. I know that I shouldn't water the entire medium when she's this young because the roots dont go out that much, but the medium was a bitch to get wet.. Literally took about a week.. But she is doing great.. Her stems are giving out purples! I know seedlings tend to do that.. But I've never seen damnnear all the stems purple. I can't really get a pic of it cuz my camera/phone sucks.. But trust me, it's there lol. Gorgeous plant! Mid week.. So I've been watering once daily.. One day I will give nutes and the next just plain pH'd water.. So basically just water, feed, water, feed.. This is to avoid the dreaded salt build-ups! Today was just water but the runoff came out at like 700 PPM.. I never even put that much in! This shouldnt be an issue.. I need a better watering can. Just been using 1L bottles woth a screw on sprinkler head.. Its not a bad idea.. Especially for smaller grows.. But I'm going to get a 1 gallon watering can with a sprinkler head.. It should help me be able to spread the water out more evenly across the entire medium. But that 1L bottle with the srinkler cap is perfect for my other nano grow I got going ("*TC* created my own feminized strain" diary). But going to Home Depot today to get that new watering can.. I like the idea of the sprayer jugs.. But those things take like an hour to use up a gallon.. I love spending time with my girls, but damn! Lol.. But as for the lady.. She is doing great! Not sure why the leaves almost ALWAYS get kinda wavy.. I think I read that it MAY have something to do with calcium deficiency.. But I dont understand how that would be possible. I keep the pH at 6.3 (even the runoff comes out a 6.3) and I know I'm putting PLENTY of CALiMAGic.. maybe it's just the way these plants grow.. Its only the first 2 or 3 sets of leaves that do it.. Just weirds me out a little.. She is beginning to sprout some little branches! So excited! I can't wait to bend her over and start some LST!!! She is very happy and super healthy! By the end of this week the next set of leaves should be pretty big and I'm sure branches will be shootin out too! So happy! 😊 Next day... So she still looks great.. No burns, no deficiencies.. But I went ahead and just gave a little dose of Silica and a little CalMag.. Cuz the PPM was coming out at 700 PPM yesterday.. It was 6.3 pH and 300 PPM going in.. But the runoff still came out at 700 PPM.. Wtf.. I need to get a better watering can.. So I can at least start running a gallon thru the medium.. I'm gonna just leave it for now, I suppose. Gonna try and get a watering can tonight... Hopefully.. But she is still growing nicely and looking nice and green, so I guess I can't complain too much. Almost end of week.. I'm starting to think I need to raise my light up or turn the power down a bit.. My plants almost always stay very short and stout to where it makes it difficult to begin LST.. Its obviously too early to be trying it now.. But just something I've been thinking lately.. Help save some electricity too.. Oh yeah, so I got a new Mars Hydro TS 1000 and I noticed that some of the reds (not deep reds) are a little dim.. Almost as dim as the deep reds.. There should only be 2 deep reds, but at 50% power it looks like at least 5 or 6 of the reds are a little dull or not as bright as the others.. At 100% its kinda hard to see but that's expected cuz its bright as fuck lol.. Idk.. I could just be tripping.. But it shouldnt hurt anything.. I hope. But as for the girly.. She's doing great.. Just ordered some FloraKleen to help with major salt build-ups and to help with the pre-harvest flush.. But so far, not major salt build-ups.. Nothing I had to put her into the sink and go crazy with the shower head for at least lol.. But she's happy and perfectly healthy as far as I can tell.. I love growing cannabis!!! It's soothing to the soul.. Being one with nature.. I've even sprouted a cantaloupe in my tent lol.. Gonna see if I can keep it in there and harvest some fruit! I wanna get some morning glory and have it running up the tent and then when its time to flower a photoperiod, it will produce some gorgeous flowers along with the cannabis flower.. Just a thought I've had.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Cant wait till next week! That's when the exploding growth happens!!! End of week.. Today was just a plain pH'd water day.. Going in: 6.2 pH at 240 PPM.. Runoff: 6.0 pH at 500 PPM.. With my luck, the moment I was finished, Amazon dropped off the FloraKleen (and some trellis netting).. I dont think FloraKleen is meant to be used in between feedings like that tho.. Unless the runoff PPM is just outrageous, I'm not gonna use the FloraKleen.. But it is a great addition to the Flora family! Lol.. Anyways.. I noticed 2 pistils/calyxes (preflower) already.. They are both at the same node, but opposite sides of the main stem.. I hope she still has at least 2 more weeks of veg before flowering.. 3 weeks would be perfect and ideal.. But I can work with 2.. But she is happy.. So I'm happy! On to the next!!!...

Plants started growing very fast. 20 hours light a day and 140 ml water for 2 plants so 35 ml each plant. (70ml -35ml one plant- morning, and 70ml -35ml one plant evening). From Monday I will start giving 200ml water 100ml in the morning and then the rest in the evening. Ventilation almost 24 hours, They are getting bushy and the color looks healthy green. I am excited. Purple Punch ( the right one) does not have the smell but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started smelling from the 3rd week, it is not strong, it is smooth, enjoyable. I still use trigger spray but I stopped triggering directly on the plant to avoid any fungee or toxicity, I just keep the soil moist. I surrounded them with kitchen foil around the lamp to have a more effective light. It reflects the light and the light goes everywhere. This step has been done because I have only the 60w LED each plant so I try to provide the maximum strength this way, and by keeping close distance also. The lamp is not hot so it ain't gonna burn the plant I had checked it before. I just purchased today a 600w LED because these plants look so good so I wanna provide the best circumstances for them. 4th-week 4th day I a just waiting for my delivery my 600 W grow LED light will come. From today I started watering with 50ml each plant 2 times a day so all together 200ml a day. Plus I always use trigger spray for the soil to be kept wet. They are looking better and better. Nice color and bushy appearance. Wonderful. I realized some holes on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe's leaf but there is no insect I was checking. I do not really know the reason for that. Tonight I will set up the new 600 W LED so I am changing the current 120W. Big Step forward! It is not that easy that I thought, the lamp is great but the temperature raised up a lot, so needed to buy a fan also and the humidity went down. It is not easy to find the proper solution to be acceptable, good temperature and humidity at the same time. So I decided to program a 6/2 schedule, so 6 hours light on and the fan always with 15 min more, and 2 hours off so I do provide 18 hours light and 6 hours darkness but it is divided. The plants can rest after every six hours and use the energy they received. Last day of the 4th week, LST has been done with the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe, both are growing rapidly, let's see what the 5th week brings! End of he week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 25cm, Purple Punch is 20cm😇

As always, I cut everything off that did not have thricomes on it. Looks awesome and like its a great yield. The bag seed was removed in week 4/5. It was either a male or hermed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seeds: 3,65€ -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 21,43€ -Total variable costs: 34,58€ -Total costs per grow: 37,75€

So the first full week since germinated and putting into final pots has gone by. The stems are looking very weak and thin and one plant actually toppled over. I ended up adding more soil around it to support it better. Not sure what this is due to? I have only been giving plants tap water around 6.8 PH and only when dry up to first knuckle.. which I check normally once in morning and at night. Light schedule is 19/5. Will be changing to 18/6 once my new lights come in. Been running a 19W led strip about 10-12” away from pots. Good airflow to help strengthen stems and not sure what is going on with the leaves discoloring and whatnot. Any tips or advice as to what’s going on??

AlienZ Automatic - Greenhouse Seed Co. Day 32 - watered with 1L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients and pH'd to 6.3. I've seen a few signs to indicate that she is about to start her flower cycle, but she's still in veg for now. I've removed her most top two fan leaves to allow the lower nodes to get more light, but other than that, I'm just letting her do her thing 💪🏻 from next week she will be in flower, so I will have to start increasing some of her nutrients and water volume to about 2 liters! Day 35 - watered with 1L with nutrients l, pH'd to 6.3. She looks like she's about to start her first phase of bloom, so I've just quickly topped her and removed a few nodes to encourage an even canopy when she starts to stretch. I've also removed a couple of inward facing fan leaves to help with airflow - so she should stretch nicely 👌🏻

Hey Y'all! I Hope the season is treating you well! My plants are getting big!! Hindu Kush is the tallest at about 2 feet and 4 inches from the soil. Skywalker Ghost Kush is the second tallest, and it's still growing. Hindu Kush is stretching too as she flowers! The GSC is stretching but not as much, I can see her sativa qualities a lot more now that she's beginning to show her flowers more. I'm still having issues with Nitrogen Toxicity specifically with this plant as well. She's got burnt tips, but after getting some advice on reddit I was told the nutrient issues aren't that bad. Will be ordering the pH tester, and jewelers trope, and some dedicated flowering nutrients for the plants this week. I am hoping to harvest GSC and Hindu Kush are the same time before the baby hindu kush and the Skywalker Ghost Kush. I'm anticipating the Skywalker Ghost Kush to be ready by October, same with the second Hindu Kush. The first two plants I'm expecting to be finished within a month to 6 weeks! I started feeding them more water, about 2 cups of water each feeding. The big Hindu Kush and Skywalker Ghost Kush need fed twice a day now, they're so big they take up their food so quick! If you have any questions please ask! Impatiently waiting for more buds to grow lol. EDIT: So this is at the end of the week. There's been a heat wave this week and my Skywalker Ghost Kush has not been happy with it. Her fan leaves have been wilting down a bit from the heat, it's hard to keep the heat down in my tent it's been up to 85 degrees F. So I got an air conditioner and had that running with the tent open for a bit and that helped. Just bought some General Hydroponics Bloom Nutrients to help with some of the Nitrogen burn, hopefully that can balance out the nutrients. I just got a carbon filter as will that I will be installing next week! I will do my next update after I install it!

7/18 Plants are looking great. I was able to rearrange the plants so they have a little bit more space and so I can get around every plant. I have small random pest damage (i.e. I caught a four lined plant bug while hunting jpn beetles) but not enough h to warrant treatment. I will probably spray before flower. Sun's out amd plants were praying. I rotated a couple and it only took a few hours for them to "straighten out." I went to look again rhis morning and made the final determination to expand the cage. I'm looking for the 2x4's and the wire in the next couple days. The work that ive done now will but me sometime. I wonder how this rain impacted my soil. 7/19 Plants are looking fantastic. The stretch is starting. One purple punch looks like it's beginning to flower. I think I'm entering the transition period. Jpn beetle damage is evident but not significant. I defoliated a leaf with a a leafminwr or something in it. It's so much easier to get around the plants now. I'm seeing some chunks missing sporadically though. Went to the roses out back and found TONS of jpn beetleson top of each other reproducing. They destroyed that rose bush. I'm going to keep it as a trap plant. My dad's girlfriend wanted to spray it but that doesn't make sense as theflowers are all gone. Dad's grabbing the materials to extend the cage today I think. Right now I can get around every plant but the two big ones in the back. I just cant get to the backs of them and they are huge. Almost reaching the top of the cage. A 4'-6' extension will do wonders in flower. Can't wait. UPDATE: Dad got the 2x4's and we assembled the extension and attached it. He's grabbing the wire as I type this. This worked out beautifully. I had no idea how big the blueberry cheese in the 50 gallon was! This extension (4ft i think) is PERFECT! Then I can get a little extra wire and pull it out if I wanted to. I think I have another 2x4 that I'm going to use in the middle. Lots of great pics and a video I'll upload tomorrow. Hot af today and humidity still super high. Even the commercial dudes was surprised I don't have wpm l and that judging by some of my plants structure that I may do better than I think. I certainly hope so. I WATERED 3 GALLONS OVER THE WHOLE GARDEN. The blueberry cheese in smart pots were drooping. They drink far more water than tje others. I would've given more but we are supposed to have thunderstorms. I left my back tarp off for the night. It will increase airflow and wind is down. I feel like this is going to be my year. 7/20 I updated and loaded everything on the app but notjing would save. Did it again in the website hopfully this saves i didnt put it all up. Didn't water the plants today. Bags seemed okay weight wise. Good thing I did the extension yesterday because those three plants were drooping they were so thirsty. I focused most of the water yesterday on those plants that needed it. The others were somewhat dry but still had some weight. Like i said the blc drinks much more water than any of the other plants. I'm impressed with the growth I'm seeing. Especially since I have been being very stingy with the water and I've only fed like twice and that was just the kelp me/you and big bloom in negligible amounts. I'm watching for deficiencies. I'm just not seeing them. I'm picking up the wire and finishing the extension and then rearranging things. I'll update. UPDATE: WATERED 4 GALLONS CONCENTRATING ON THE PLANTS THAT WERE DROOPING THE MOST. FINISHED ENCLOSURE AND INCREASED PLANT SPACE. TRELLIS WILL GO UP THIS WEEK. VIDEOS WILL BE UPLOADED TOMORROW. 7/21 I should've watered more volume last night. I noticed two plants that seemed much lighter than the rest. After some deliberation I gave them each a half gallon of water. One was the purple punch in the 10 that's huge amd the other was that huge blueberry cheese. I think I'm going to swap places with them, take out a pallet and get some other way to elevate that ONE plant and I'll have even more room. Then I'll add my supports. It's a dream working in there now. I noticed some small interior leaves being used up and dieing. I defoliated them but it was only a couple. I'll need to start nutes at some point. Doesn't need it yet though. I'm going to add some kelp me/you for the heat stress. I need to get the watering down better but it's more difficult when they each have different needs. I kinda have to read the plant. I'd rather be overwatered than underwatered. I tried to upload what I could but some won't. UPDATE: I went over to clip off some fencing that was doubled up AND just to check on tge girls. Found two caterpillars (small but hairy so they were older not the inch worms and possibly what has been contributing to damage on those plants. Things are spread out so it will be harder for insects to move from plant to plant and I have better air flow. I worry that leaving my tarp off might lead to high winds and plants not able to take it buf I digress. I'll add supports later. Plants are huge and drinking far more water than I've been giving them. When I got there several were drooped right over and dry as a bone. The bags are essentially all roots now. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and split it between the plants. I gave less to the two Co trainer plants that weren't drooping and the 10 I watered yesterday that wasn't drooping but for the most part the ones that needed if got at least a gallon or more. The others a little under a gallon. It might rain A LITTLE tonight too. Oh, and since it's been so hot I added 1/2 tsp per gallon of kelp me kelp you to help the plants deal with heat stress. I also noticed that some of the very bottom interior leaves are being used up. I have a feeling ill need to switch to nutes pretty soon. Plus I need to suppirt those plants if I'm going to leave that tarp off and Gove them air. Took a video. But it won't upload here. I'll have to wait till tomm. 7/22 Didn't have much timevthis morning bit I dod a video. Boy those plants loved that water and that kelp. This morning everyone was standing straight up at attention. Supposed to get rain last night but didn't. Good thing I watered. I think I'm going to up the water next watering and then again to the 10% mark if necessary. Especially with the Blueberry cheeses. I'm noticing that a FEW INTERIOR leaves are showing nute deficiencies so I'm probably going to have to start feeding soon. I'll update later. UPDATE: Went back over and cut off the extra wire. I'm going to need to water more volume. Specifically on two plants. The two huge blueberry cheese in 20 gallon smart bags dries out much faster than the rest. I'll have to out that on a different schedule or increase the amount given. Next watering will be 1.5 or 2 gallons a plant and it might be tomorrow from what I was seeing. It's super hot and with the added airflow the bags dry out faster. I also went through EACH plant looking for pests and defoliating old leaves that needed it. Plants are still nice and green but a VERY few older interior leaves are showing deficiencies. I know this is Normal especially since they are trying n g to transition to flower. I also saw pest damage on a couple plants. Four lined plant bug. I already found the one on the other plant and killed it but I'm considering doing a spray before flower. I'm thinking either captain Jack as a "catch all", BT which works great but mostly just on pillars or the organocide bee safe 3 in one pesticide. I also have pyrethium and other things. Thus far picking things off manually has been good enough. At the very least they will get an application of BT very soon. 7/23 Held off on watering this morning. Supposed to get thunder storms I DID split a gallon with two blueberry cheese that were the lightest in the 20 gallon smart pots. Thet drink way more. My water volume is going to need to increase. We haven't had nearly enough rain. I'm going to bump it up to 1.5 to 2 gallons each plant which will be 10% for the 20s and a little less for the others. I'm still seeing various pest damage. Nothing bad but I found another couples leaves that were chomped on by a four lined plant bug so I'm debating applying something tonight when I water. I'm also noticing old leaves being used up and some interior leaves showing slight deficiencies. It will be time to start nutes soon. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT THE FEELING I NEEDED TO CHECK THE PLANTS. SOMETHING DODNT LOOK RIGHT ON THE CAMS. WENT OVER AND EVERY PLANT BUT THE TWO I SPLIT A GALLON WITH AND THE PLANT IN THE 50 WERE DROOPED RIGHT OVER. LIFELESS. I SHOULD'VE WATERED THIS MORNING BUT I DIDNT HAVE TIME. I FIGURED THEY COULD WAIT UNTIL NIGHT. EACH PLANT GOT 1.5 GALLONS AT LEAST. I USED SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN GALLONS ON THE GARDEN. I GAVE EACH CONTAINER PLANT ONE GALLON AND GOT RUN OFF FROM BOTH. IM NOTICING SKIGHT FADING IN LEAVES BUT IM NOT INTRODUCING NUTES TO UNDERWATERED PLANTS. I THINK 10% IS GONNA BE TGE MAGIC NUMBER. 2 GALLONS EACH. EVEN THE 10 GALLON SMART POT. ALMLST AS BIG AS THE 30S BUT DRIES OUT QUICKER. 7/24 Plants looked fantastic this morning. Defoliated a few leaves that needed it. Showed my commercial buddy and he said things looked fantastic. Since the soils still holding nutes and I'm not seeing many deficiencies I may hold off on feeding. I'm starting early flower now. I will be using nutes soon. I think ive got the watering schedule pretty much down.

Flattened canopy a little by bending and gently cropping stems over several days. Dropped hours of light to 16 and switched to a spectrum more suited to flowers. Will give her one more week to prepare and develop. INFINITY Dodecahedron is the only platonic solids that has infinite numerical pathways. The Aether. Saturday I switched to 12, I forgot for a second this strain is 100% Sativa, I thought she wouldn't stretch much because the PPFD was high. Never noticed such an obvious change in temperament from a plant overnight, it has been a sleepy, lazy leaf veg cycle for the most part, there are no signs of flowers yet ofc, but just the way she exploded into a more satellite disciplined formation, ITS TIME, so it begins, no turning back now....... my poor electricity bill.

This strain had to suffer a little bit at the end of the cycle due to a fungus gnats issue but she managed great, her buds are really citrussy and dense and she has grown at a very fast pace in her vegetative stage. I really hope you guys enjoyed, this lady has been grown with kush FLO (Living soil blend) and water.

✂️ Harvest complete! 🌿 After weeks of care and attention, the plant has been cut down, dried for 14 days under controlled conditions, and I’ve now officially started the curing process in jars 🌬️💨 The aroma is promising, the buds are dense and sticky… I can’t wait to see (and smell) the final result! 😍 One cycle ends, but the satisfaction it brings is lasting 💚
