Got a little hot outside this week again and temps in the tents reached a high of 92. They hovered around 85-88 most of the time, and nighttime temps around 75. The plants have been loving the tropical like environments, and in fact showing less signs of stress now they are in warmer temps. I got my magnesium dialed back in with a few applications of Epsom Salt. The pants drank twice as normal this week. I also gave them a feeding with my fermented fruit juice I made and they seem to be loving it. I got a new bottle of cal-mag and does not seem to be as acidic, so i can add a little more than I was without it ruining my ph. It too about 15ml per gallon of the FFJ to Ph my water down form 7.8 to 6.5. I tested it before use and its PH is around 2.5. Between the Epsom salt, FFJ, and kelp. The plants are really starting to bounce back from their slight unhappiness. They are all looking near 100 percent health. At the end of the week they are are raging and praying to the light like theirs no tomorrow. Glowing vibrant lush green, the buds are also already a decent size for only being week 2. The plants and in much need of some defoliation but I will wait one more week after stretch to get that taken care of. The dehumidifier running during night cycle has been keeping things in check. The clones rooted and I potted them up to 1 gallon so I now have small moms. I got new worms and my worm bins cleaned out and set up again. Each of the 65 gallon pots got a small ball of worms added to the top soil to get the worm populations growing in them again. I was hoping those casting I added a few weeks ago with added worm eggs would hatch some but no luck so i just got some from Uncle Jim's worm farm.

********** Week 2 of flower - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 *********** It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started new supplemental nutrients as well. On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Gorilla Girl was better off than one of the Cream 47’s with a cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didn’t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low😢 Coming back though and when tied together and looked after, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves😀💪👍 Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves😀 because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error😡 Seems to have worked out pretty well. Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement. 2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road. IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites. Really good growth this week. I need these girls to stop now though!!!!! They getting really tall and have roughly 12” above the canopy now. The node stacking is really good and they are forming a number of colas. Looking very positive so far! This strain is so vigorous and she just want to go👍 They have gone from 18” tall to 34” in a week......crazy good growth. Little more detail........ Sept 26/20, Day 8 - Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days - 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml - 830ppm and 5.7pH - will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks - side branching doing very well and coming up. - GG4 a little bare in the middle of the plant with just four colas. Sept 27/20, Day 9 - 2nd SCROG layer added. - GG colas getting long........need to add more Silica as well. Sept 28/20, Day 10 - more microbes today - 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml - 290ppm and 6.3pH - pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well. - Good amount of runoff today. - GG4 has one cola leaves not happy. Not sure if its light or wind. Moved the closest fan to her today. - GG1 shooting lots of branches right now. - GG4 bud stacking is happening already and doing very well. Sept 30/20, Day 12 - Heavier feeding today - 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml. - repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......not as bad for this girl. - Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound. - Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top. Oct 1/20, Day 13 - Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking. - 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml - 665ppm and 5.9pH - Since these girls are so tall I am not going to give them Green Planet Massive. I find they get quite a bit taller with that product. I am looking for chunky and not tall so I will keep up with Advanced PK boost. - IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls. That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be the end of week 9 to first days of week 10 of flower, about 7 more weeks. Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge🙏👍 Looking good Sweet Seeds, she is a grower and filling in already in first two weeks of flower........If you veg longer than 3 to 4 weeks, make sure you have allowed for height concerns💪

Trichomes are milky but the pistils have too many white ones still. Flowers have slowed down in their growth. Another week to go maybe.

Last week, last round, last ride! What a lovely journey till know. I checked with my microscope the trichomes and are getting at right point cloudy. My pistils are on that 70% mark I rate, and think that just got the timing right before I exit the apartment. I also think that having a few days available I would have go on a little more. Can't wait to harvest!!!😉

Trying to stop these things from growing but I can't. Waiting on bud tent to finish to move these over. *UPDATE The two big plants both female , so it looks like I'm getting a cloner cause I'm not loosing this pheno it's the ONE , the one I have been searching for. This has been a long process which wasn't fully documented here but it's been 5 long years of growing great strains, just not what I wanted. I hope in flower it has all the traits I'm praying to the marijuana gods that the looking is over for me. I can't even explain how happy I am, I hope for no disappointment in flower.

11/24/2021 First true leaves are showing, transplanted 7 jiffy pellets into their first pots. Should be good for a couple weeks. Interesting to see how all the single finger leaves are developing differently. 11/25/2021 Transplantation complete #8 potted up into a small pot temporarily, Will start feeding next week Mirimichi 901C One ounce (7.8ml) to a gallon. I am guessing (prediction) #2,#6 might be male. (Both are vigorous girls) But time will tell.

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Added 2 liters of water and nutes this morning and 2 new videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-17. This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.

Nice and frosty, buds are finally looking like they’re getting dense and putting on some weight. Start flushing in a couple weeks when all the pistils get that orange color. So far about 50-70% are orange.

They are all doing great. I cleaned my resivor and forgot to turn the valve back on. In less than 24 hrs my boy starts wilting ( he is such a pussy ). Other than that things are good. My light decided it was tired and wanted to quit working. It is 3 years old, but I barely used it. I have a spare, but anyway its time to shut it off. They are getting about 14 and 1/2 hours of sunlight. The longest day of the year was on Friday. Its almost like it knew. 😂🤣😂🤣 They should already be outside in the final pot..... but I'm behind. They should be 5 feet +.... but I'm behind. My boy is the tallest at 43 inches and the shortest girl is 36 inches. I will transplant into 25 gallon hard plastic pots. This grow will be slightly different this year. Somehow I will make it happen. I'm thinking of cramming them into tomato cages, and seeing what happens. I'm not even sure if I'm going to top them. I am just going to play it out and decide later, or not decide. I'm sure it will have some ups and downs.

Second week of flower, time to stretch! Im very happy with the outcome so far, it is without worry that some tops are in shadow. Enough tops to go around, have to wait until after stretch to lollipop! The lady all the way in the back, to the left, has either stunned growth or just slower than the other to go into stretch. However i will just play the waiting game, as i see no symptoms for a problem atm. Last watering was 15/10 👽👉17/10 VPD is set to 1.2, but because of the function of my dehumidifier, it range from 1.1-1.3. 👽👉18/10 Waterday* They are real thirsty First signs of pistils have shown! I upped my nutes from EC1.36 to EC1.66 BioHeaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1ml/L > 1.5 BioBloom 0.5ml/L >1.5 TopMax 0.5ml/L> 1 Calmag 0.3ml/L > 0.4 👽👉19/10 The ladies love it! Stretching and praying hands! 👽👉20/10 Impressed with the stretching. Not much to report, they just feeling the vibe. 👽👉21/10 Changed the lamp hanging system, to gain some more distance from light to canopy. 👽👉22/10 Thirsty ladies, but since i did not have time to water, i gave them 200ml each to survive another 24hours without feed. 👽👉23/10 Waterday* I upped my nutes from EC1.66 to EC1.77 added 1ML/L Rootjuice to this feed Bioheaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1.5 ML/L > 2 BioBloom 1.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

After massive problems with canopy height and single branches growing past the LEDs, I finally decided to move the carbon filter down to the bottom of the tent. Due to some complications with running the pipe down the bottom also, I had to keep the pipe running out the top of the tent. But thats the deal I have to take right now, I dont think t will hurt my yield significantly. Substrate EC is on a more moderate level than the week before to promote buds stacking up the branches. Right now 3.8 with a target of 3.0 by end of week 6. Edit END of WEEK 5: Canopy is full with trichomes, everything glitters like its winter time. I noticed substantial bulking, so we are at the right pace ending the week 5 and going into week 6. Still 4 weeks to go, i expect a very big yield this time...

AlienZ Automatic - Greenhouse Seed Co. Day 46 - watered with 1.5L of RO tap water, mixed with the defined nutrients and pH'd to 6.3. She has just about finished her stretch, leaving a perfectly even canopy and is now focusing on developing her bud sites. I removed a lot of foliage around her stems to improve air flow and lollipopped her, removing all budsites under the canopy 👍🏻

Hello Growmies, I'm thrilled to update you on the plant's progress! In the last week, she has beautifully filled out the scrog. Just yesterday, I flipped her into the flowering stage. This means I'll slowly increase her feeding, although I don't plan to go too heavy on the nutrients since she seems to prefer a lighter touch. She's quite particular about her nutrients, requiring me to change the reservoir every five days. If I delay, she shows signs of distress on her leaves, but these issues resolve immediately after I refresh the reservoir. While she's stretching in the preflower stage, I'll continue to guide her growth into the empty areas of the scrog screen. Also, here's a special offer: use the code ZAMMIGD2023 at Zamnesia's online store to get a 20% discount. Thanks for dropping by, and I'll share more updates next week!

25-2: Throughout the week, I'm observing two phenomena simultaneously: a portion of the upper leaves turning a lighter green and/or appearing to have a yellowish hue. One plant has curled leaves at the top of the plant but limited to one layer of leaves. The tips are yellowed with dark spots. Due to rapid growth, the plant flew too close to the sun and burned its wings, was my assessment. In other words, light burn. The leaves becoming lighter are located in several layers from the top to halfway down the plant. I suspect there is a deficiency and perform a slurry test. The EC is low at 0.24 and the pH is good at 6.3. The soil is still too wet to feed, which presents a dilemma: feed with the risk of wet feet or wait a bit longer with the risk that the deficiencies become more severe? To mitigate this, I gave foliar feeding (Terra Bloom 0.5 ml per liter) by spraying the leaves without really wetting them. I did this just after the lights were out. A day later, I first flushed the plants with a few liters of water pH 6.4 and then gave them nutrients with EC 1.3 and pH 6.4: Terra Bloom (+/- 4 ml per liter), Sugar Royal (1 ml per liter), and a tiny bit of Great White and orthosilicic acid. And hung the lights back at 30 cm. It seems to be working because I see the color coming back slightly and the yellowing has at least stopped. Furthermore, I'm keeping the day and night temperature a bit higher at about 25 degrees Celsius during the day and around 21 at night. This is to limit the humidity at night and during the day to increase the VPD to about 1.45. At the end of the week I see the end of the stretch and standing 87 cm tall at average. The gas is on, and ready to go full throttle to the finish! SensiMiller Dr. Green Thumbs Plant Wizz GPT has the day off :) 23-2: "At week 9, our Skunk #1 Feminised plants have shown notable progress. The journey so far has been a blend of anticipation and strategic care. This week, we observed a robust growth spurt, a testament to the nurturing they've received. The balance of water, light, and nutrients has been key. Reflecting on the journey, it's clear that each decision, from the lighting schedule to the nutrient mix, played a crucial role in their current state. Their resilience and growth are not just a result of our efforts but a dance with nature itself." Dr Green Thumbs I can concur with my artificial assistant that the ladies are looking good and the strategy worked. However, this also required constant care, monitoring, observation, discussing the state of the plants, options, and mitigation with Dr. Green Thumbs GPT, and thinking ahead. SensiMiller
