I'd like to title this Diary entry Screw You Advanced Nutrients. 7th week done.. 3 weeksish left on the Lsd-25 and 4 weeksish on the purple Lemonade.. Gonna be some chunky mothers. Purple coming up everywhere, pretty colours. Oh yes we are very pleased so end of 7th week for these ladies and stretching has stopped thank goodness and we are now into bud building/mass building. The two lsd-25 plants definitely went into full flower "mode" sooner. The Colorful lady seems to have benn mass building all week. Probably gonna have different harvest windows on these ladies. Was hoping for same time but it's okay we are creative and will figure a way ahead. There is some CO2 being fed in the tent. With a smaller co2 bucket. We will be trying out a new one for us and it is a product called dense from green planet. We will using dense when the regular reservoir change is suppose to happen. Before we feed only Dense we will be prepping the ladies with an extra feeding of GP3 micro. Buffering the leaves and prepping the uptake for the feeding. So with dense there will be only a feed of Dense with UC roots and ph down. The formula of dense is 0-0-62 so this is a very concentrated Potash supplement. We will be using 1/2 recommended doses as per our system and it's requirements. This will run for 4-5 days and significantly increase the Amount of Potash in the Plant fear not.. The next 2-3 days will run with just phed water then onto P-k spiking with Bloom Booster alone. At this stage Massive Bloom formulation would be great as well but we wanna cut out our nitros while still have some micros.. So we will feed smaller amounts of GP3 Micro with Powdered bloom booster, rezin and liquid weight. Right up until we do a 3 day flush before harvest. Nutrients and Light is the idea so we will see turn outs and everything. If you are wondering what is the difference between the plants and the lady on the left looks so burnt. Left side only fed Flora Series w/ Advanced Nutrients supplements the plants on the right side is fed only Flora Series with Green planet supplements. The nutrient formulas provided in this diary are for right plants only. We can not express the amount of disgust we feel towards Advanced Nutrients as we spent good money on their product and feel genuinely ripped off. The words smelly disgusting mess describe what happened when we added big bud to left side. Bottle smells fine but the Formula is obviously way off as we did not have issues like this when using it the first dozen or so times. We will be using chemical nutrients and powders for life now and will not use Advanced Nutrients again or recommend it for anyone. The Organic Big Bud Formula is no good for hydroponic growing and they obviously rushed it to market to make money..... We really wanted to finish with Advanced Nutrients being the supplement on the left side but we can not. The product itself has basically made it impossible to continue confidently using any Advanced Nutrients labeled as both Organic and Safe for hydroponics. The proof is in the pudding and so glad and happy really now that we are using Green Planet and continue on this trend of cleaner greener growing and a more intelligent approach. On a further note just to go a bit further Bud Candy for example contains sugars that are basically present in Black Molasses. So what they've basically done is filtered and bleached Black Molasses and watered it down and are selling it to us at around 40 bucks a litre. Bunch of crooks Screw you Advanced Nutrients.

Esta es mi primer planta que cosechó con éxito, y estoy muy feliz con mi resultado final 😄 obtuve una muy buena cantidad de flores premium con alrededor de 15% de thc (desde mi punto de vista claro 😅) Tuve algunos problemas durante el cultivo, principalmente que deje que se estirara mucho, debi hacerle LST a la punta principal para que no siguiera aumentando la altura y tener más flores del mismo tamaño, las flores más bajas quedaron chicas y les faltó madurar un poco, también tuve problemas de sobrefertilizacion aun a pesar de que seguí las instituciones de los fertilizantes y de sus indicaciones que me dieron los de servicio al cliente, incluso ya teniendo en cuenta eso siempre use la menos de la dosis de la base ya hasta que crecieron más le fui aumentando, igual creo que es muy cierto lo que dicen de que “menos es más” a la próxima empezaré usando muy pocos nutrientes, aparte creo que si hubiera usado unos leds más potentes, las plantas hubieran aprovechado más los nutrientes, pero igual me sirvió de experiencia, pienso cultivar de nuevo esta genética y sacarle más provecho. Muy recomendada 👌🏻😁

Ladies, gentlemen, and all the wonderful beings following this journey, I am thrilled to announce that we have reached the highly anticipated harvest week for our beautiful PCRs. This has been an incredible journey, and now it's time to reap the rewards of our hard work and dedication. The PCRs are nothing short of perfection. Their frost-covered buds are a sight to behold, glistening like they've been kissed by winter's breath. The trichomes are abundant and sparkling, making these ladies look absolutely stunning. The aroma is intoxicating, a true testament to their strong genetics and the care they've received. Upon taking them out of the tent, I was amazed by their strength and resilience. Despite my best efforts to make them dance, these ladies stood tall and proud, requiring no support at all. This just goes to show the exceptional quality and sturdiness of the PCR strain. Aptus Holland's Enzym+. This product is a game-changer, breaking down dead root material and turning it into usable nutrients, ensuring our soil remains rich and fertile for future grows. Speaking of which, I do plan to reuse the soil, thanks to the amazing benefits of Enzym+. This enzyme product not only helps with nutrient uptake but also keeps the soil ecosystem healthy and thriving. Here's the final stats for this week: TDS: 130 PH: 6.8 Temp: 21°C A huge shout-out to Aptus Holland for their incredible products that have consistently supported my plants' growth and health. Also, a massive thank you to Art Genetix for creating the phenomenal PCR strain that has brought so much joy to this grow. To all my fellow growers, followers, and the entire community, your support and encouragement mean the world to me. This journey wouldn't be the same without you. As we move forward, let's continue to spread love, positivity, and the joy of cultivating these amazing plants. Stay tuned for the final results and more updates as we dry and cure these beautiful buds. Until then, keep growing, stay positive, and never stop believing in the magic of cultivation.

Day 135. Girl stinks a hell, cant move her to smaller tent and my new fan is delayed, so is new diary. Still in doubts what to do, dont want to postpone next run deep into summer, too hot at mines ... Day 137. Girl was moved to new home, humidity was at highest 50, hope during night i wont get bud rot, have no outfan still... Day 138. Girl was fed with last nutes, from now just phed water, hope she will last 3 weeks minimum. Have a feeling that she dont like it, but got humidity in mid 40ties maybe we will make it ;) Day 140. After filter instalation i created negative presure, plus inside fan moved air and tent was too small for this girl, her walls were breathing, so one head rubed heavily, all glued to flat ;)) Had many budrot cases and they were starting from a lot smaller incident, prevention is the key, plus i want to try out that stinky beuty ;)

As the Ganja Farmer Seed's TKO is ripening and getting closer to harvest, I'm continuing to lower ppm levels while managing bucket water levels and ph. We're exactly at day 56 of flower (5/5/23) on Cinco de Mayo. The TKO reflects a flowering time of 60-65 days, so no more nutrients at this point. I'll continue to monitor Trichomes through next week (i.e., week 9 of flower). Once I see more amber (approximately 20-25%), I will begin a 2-3 day flush with straight RO water. At that point, she is ready to come down. The last bucket change end of week 7 strictly following GH's recommended dosage. That bucket change out brought an end to the ph swings she was beginning to experience. After the change out, the balance between water consumption, nutrient uptake, and ph is spot on. Specifically, while plant is up taking water, ph and ppm have maintained stability. She's looking and smelling incredible. There is a learning curve with DWC - no lie - but I've enjoyed the experience. She is an aggressive grower and challenging for maintenance. All in all, great genetics. Gratitude and thanks to Ganja Farmer Seeds! Peace.

As we hit day 56 of my cannabis grow journey 7 plants 3 LST 3 Normal 1 Top. Let's catch up on how the Gorilla Glue strain is doing: Plant Growth: The Gorilla Glue plants are standing tall, measuring between 40-45cm, with the ones under low-stress training (LST) slightly shorter. Despite the unpredictable weather, they're thriving, boasting lush foliage and dense bud formations hinting at the upcoming harvest. It's clear that each plant has benefited from the TLC poured into their care. Nutrient Regimen: With flowering in full swing and the weather throwing curveballs, I've tweaked the nutrient mix to ensure the buds get the support they need. Alongside the usual Bio Bloom, Autogrow nutrients, SST Juice, Guano, and Worm castings tea, I've introduced Rockbastyk, a supplement tailored for the end of the flowering stage. It's all about giving them the best shot at success. Observations: The weather has been all over the place, with temperatures fluctuating like crazy. Despite this, the Gorilla Glue plants are soldiers, adapting to whatever nature throws at them. They've shown incredible resilience, proving that they're up for any challenge. The Low-Stress Training (LST) plants are a prime example of this resilience, despite their shorter stature. Their buds are flourishing, filling every nook and cranny thanks to the LST technique. However, one plant got a bit too stressed and ended up stunted. I'm keeping a close eye on it, giving it the extra care it needs to bounce back. The untouched plants are also holding their own, growing bigger with "fluffier" buds. It's fascinating to see how they compare to the manipulated ones. As for the topped plant, it hit a rough patch with stunted growth initially. But it's bouncing back nicely now, sporting four main apex buds, albeit a tad behind schedule. Last week, I did a major trim to tackle the bushy look that was getting out of hand. I made sure to only remove what was necessary, allowing for proper photosynthesis and nutrient distribution to continue uninterrupted.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de vida de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El fotoperiodo ya fue cambiado a 12/12. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Flushed all plants as I used to hot of a soil mix as I am new to organics and don't know how to follow instructions but learned my lesson will always read instructions and follow recommended doses plants got much worse than in week 1 after flushing took plants 2 more days to grow even a millimetre but seem to be back on track this week was very humbling to me . Still plants look terrible now that there flushed hope next week is better. Also got fungus gnats so treating with sticky traps and diatomaceus earth.

Buenas tardes queridos compañeros jardineros: Aquí traigo actualización de las pequeñas autoflorecientes, mantienen su fuerza, un color verde preciosos, y a pesar de que están más pequeñas de lo normal por el fallo en la alimentación la primera semana, podemos observar como están floreciendo y llenándose de tricomas, además de un olor profundo y penetrante que solo puede augurar momentos muy divertidos y placenteros. Si algo bueno está trayendo la crisis del coronavirus, es que al menos tenemos más tiempo para dedicarnos a ellas. Nos vemos la siguiente semana con una nueva actualizacón, muchos ánimos y fuerzas a todos, pasará y para entonces ya tendremos nuestras cosechas listas!! BUENOS HUMOS😇

Harvest day 62 since time switch to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) Finally it's time 💚 The lady is done the large leaves have been removed and hung upside down to dry in the dark drying room. You can now stay there for 13-15 days at a temperature of 16-18 degrees and 55-59% humidity. After 13-15 days it is neatly trimmed by hand and placed in jars with boveda packs 62. After 4 weeks Boveda 58% come in and are ready for testing ;-). After everything has been cut cleanly, the last update comes with the smoke report and the finished pictures. Let's get to the plant 💚. Unfortunately, the rating system at Growdiaries is a bit strange because I have to give the stars before the Smoke Report and in the end it might have led to more stars in terms of taste. . The smell is great I'm curious about the taste 💚 Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 ‘Powered by GreenHouse Feeding’ Copy the link for 10% off all Nutrients 👇🏼 http://shop.greenhousefeeding.com/ affiliate/madelngermany_passiongrower/ 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with Cal/Mag (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 290 ppm and Ph with Ph- to 5.8 - 6.4 MadeInGermany

Gorilla Runtz is one of those plants you regret cutting away the veg growth this plant is stacking completely into 1 nug in each stem if I would have not cut away any of the veg growth this plant would have been nug top to bottom. Sad face usually I don’t lolipop wile in veg by this time I did and atleast this was the only plant that didn’t like that it will still have some big nice nugs on top All of the plants have really taken off. Usually I have a couple plants that are much smaller but all of these plants are getting huge. Seeing I got a new eluefah uap1500 the other day and I have my 2 fastbuds plants under that now I have my spider farmer light free. So I popped up another 2x2 and moved 3 of the 10 plants into the 2x2 and left the 7 other in the 2x4.

Day 36 Nutrients: none Water: none (3 days no water) Day 37 Nutrients: none Water: none Due to high humidity levels the peat moss is still holding high levels of moisture. I have introduced a dehumidifier to help bring down the RH to closer to 40% if not below Day 38 Nutrients: bio biz (grow, bloom, topmax) Water: 1 Litre Potential magnesium deficiency. Reduce water amount and nutrients by half. Will monitor uptake and intro calmag if needed. Day 39 Nutrients: 2ml Calmag (biobiz) Water: 1 Litre Day 40 Nutrients: none Water: none Day 41 Nutrients: none Water: none Leaves continue to wilt (predominantly large old fan leaves) Day 42 Nutrients: none Water: none Wilting of leaves appears to have slowed. No water today as still moisture within substrate. Full water and reduced feed tomorrow
