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.

Grow Report Week 10: The Beginning of the Flowering Phase Hello dear grow community, We have entered an exciting phase: the first week of flowering is over, and the plants have fought their way to the light. It’s a time of growth and change, and I’m here to report the latest from my grow room. The Flowering Phase The switch to a 12-hour light cycle has begun, and the plants have adapted well to the new routine. Except for the Banana variety, all have overcome the net. The Banana is a bit behind, but I remain optimistic and hope it will catch up soon. My space is increasingly filling up, and the health of all plants makes me very positive. Temperature Control Thanks to the TrolMaster controller, the temperatures remain constant at 25 degrees during the day and 22 degrees at night. The simulation of sunrise and sunset also seems to have a positive effect on the development of the plants. Stretching and Defoliation I hope the stretching continues for another two weeks so that all plants get enough light. After this phase, I plan to defoliate the plants finally. Fertilization I continue to follow the scheme when fertilizing, paying particular attention to the dosage of Cal/Mag and adjusting it as needed. Support I would like to thank all of you for the incredible support over the past few weeks. It is a joy to share this hobby with such a passionate community. Anticipation I look forward to the coming weeks with confidence and am excited about the progress we will make together. Until the next update! Thank you for stopping by, and see you next time! 😊

Week 7 begins. Removed some dead leaves and big leaves that were blocking light to the lower parts of the plant. Buds are big, white and frosty! Very happy with the plants development up to this point.

31.3 F50 2L of water for each plant. Last two weeks of flowering starting, happy happy :) 3.4 F53 1L of water for each plant, seems like the plants are starting to drink less and less. Which is totally okay by me, no need for water every 2 days. Other than that I lowered lights like 5cm since there isn't that much flowering time left, might as well "blast" em with the whole 70 watts lol. 5.4 F55 Lots of small creepy crawlers in the pots. Took a video of predator mite strolling around the fabric pot!

| 📅 Week 10 | Days 64 - 70 | 💡 750w 📏25' | | ☔ 38%-50% | | 🌡️️🌞 72 - 74 | | 🌡️️🌑 68 - 71 | 1/11 The reservoirs were swapped out with fresh nutrients and topped off at 5.8PH. I will give them another day or two before flushing I think. The smell is currently fantastic 1/12 There really isn't much to do with these girls anymore other than PH every day and make sure their water levels are consistent to maintain their nutrient levels. Tomorrow I will begin the Flushing 1/13 I decided on one more day of nutrients. I Topped off the Reservoirs and adjusted their PH's to 5.8 as usual. I cleaned out the tent today as well. I can't wait to harvest these buds they are looking great. 1/14 Today is Flushing Day! I will flush them for about 6 days which is very fairly long for a typical DWC grow. I will only PH the water from here on out. 1/15-19 I Flushed these plants while maintaining a stable PH and humidity the best I could. The water level is not important during this because without nutrients you don't need to worry about ratios as long as you just keep the PH stable you will be fine. With a longer flush like this one, you should expect to see death in leaves its ok. I only did this for life reasons, I suggest a 3-5 day flush in DWC. These plant's Trichomes matured fast and harvest time approached quickly. The smell in the tent is very potent and gloves are going to be an absolute must on this chop! I will be hang drying the plants inside the dark grow tent with ventilation to maintain humidity levels. I don't personally have a preference between a slow or fast drying process. This time I will be looking at 3-5 days of hang drying before chopping them into jars for a few weeks of cure using Boveda packs. I'm very pleased with the bud color and smell even though the overall weight will be less than desired I will be growing this strain again immediately. There isn't too much more to add to this week other than the grow is complete and the Dry/Cure process is all that is left. Be sure to look out for the harvest update with the final weight and smoke test! _______________________________________________________________________ Feel free to leave comments/questions below or give me any feedback to improve my diaries.

Our beauty is now 3 weeks old and has grown to nearly 18 cm tall, continuing to develop strong and healthy. We’ve decided to enhance her nutrition by continuing to feed her with Xpert Nutrients fertilizers, which provide everything she needs for balanced growth. Additionally, we’ve started using CO2 to further stimulate active growth. The daytime temperature remains at 28°C, nighttime at 21°C, and the humidity is maintained at 65%. We are still keeping the light schedule at 12/12, closely monitoring how the plant responds to these conditions. A big thank you to Xpert Nutrients for their high-quality fertilizers, and our CO2 experiment promises to be exciting!

Hello growers! Tonns of defoliation and branch management this week. I added 2nd pack of stretching wires I actually don't know how to manage THAT amount of branches Shall we count this stage as a flower or veg. Well, it's transitioning At the beginning of the week PPM was 1040, by the end it's 1700+ It's hard to maintain correct level, when we add water, not changing it, i wanted to add more bloom nutrients. And she dinks well now.
