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.

So the nuggets are dense and doubling in size every few days, the trichomes are cover the plants and they are sticky. The Girls are thirsty, I'm topping them off every other day with 1.5 gallons of nutes, at this point I feel like all i'm doing is mixing nutes in the reservoir. By the time I switch over season two to the grow room, i'm going to increase the size of my reservoir to 10 gallon so I can spend less time mixing. I'll be flushing out the buckets in 2 weeks to give the girls fresh water for the final 2 weeks! My Burp bucket project worked out great. Thanks to several youtube videos those videos are much appreciated! I made a few modification to what I saw online. so here's the parts list: (1) 3.5 gallon Menards Bucket (1) Gamma Bucket Lid 18" Black Irrigation drip tubing 12" Fish tank air hose (2) Fish tank check valves (1) tee for air line (1) small fish tank pump I started out modifying the input, most of the videos I saw had a hose with a check valve just poked in the lower part of the bucket with pin holes and end tied off. What I did is I took the black tubing and circled the bottom of the bucket, then I took a small drill bit and drilled holes through the tubing about every 2 inches to disburse the air all the way around the bucket then I used a tee to connect the 2 ends of the circle and connected that to the tube entering the lower portion of the bucket. the next change I made was instead of having a short hose poke through the upper portion, I drilled a small hole and hot glued the check valve inside the bucket with only the top of the valve sticking out of the bucket. After you get all the hoes and check valves in snap on the Gamma Lid, Tighten it up and turn on the pump. I added the hoses going into the water so you could actually see that its working I plugged the pump into a smart outlet and set it to run for 20 min 3 times a day, so no need to manually burp your nuggets while they are curing. You'll also need to put a 62% boneva 2 way pouch in the bucket with the nugs to keep the humidity correct and optionally have a small hydrometer to verify, I'm going to mount one on the lid to be able to check it without having to open the bucket. unless curiosity gets the best of me....

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.

2024/04/26 : feeding with 1L Orgatrex&Bactrex (third flowering week from Biotabs' schedule). I bought a space booster kit and a web plant support from Secret Jardin : plant doesn't touch tent and second net will help me guide the colas and avoid defoliating for the moment. Blueberry is stretching a bit yet nothing alarming. It drank about 15L this week! I set LED to 30~38 DLI and adjusted temperatures to 26°C/19°C (I want purple! 😉).

Week 9 of flower, the buds are still showing white hairs and 50/50 clear/cloudy trichomes. Buds getting too heavy to hold themselves up! Tried out using a single scrog, I would definitely use two nets going forward.

Week 9: Post-Vacation Bloom & Humidity Vigilance Update: 22.07.2025 | Day 70 Back from vacation - ladies made huge progress! Weather shifted from hot/sunny to rainy/humid (22°C). Mold prevention is now top priority. Strain Check: Green Crack Developed beautifully but has fewest bud sites by far. Buds thicker than others - constant humidity checks essential. Gorgeous structure with spot-on mango aroma. Resin queen: sticky like flypaper to the touch. At least 2 weeks to go. Forbidden Runtz Looks fantastic with the best fragrance of the trio. Resin production accelerating, but buds show slight foxtailing (heat stress from previous weeks?). Solid 15-20 bud sites. Should finish in ~2 weeks. Bruce Banner Still the star with perfect even canopy. 20+ long candle-like buds forming. Resin/smell least developed but has 3-4 weeks left. Critical: Defoliation for airflow to prevent mold in this humidity. Critical Actions: -Daily inspection for curled leaves inside buds (early mold sign) - Reduced Bokashi feeding (1:150 weekly) - Strategic defoliation: Remove only touching leaves - LST adjustments to increase branch spacing - Morning stem shakes to dislodge moisture Stay blazing, keep growing! Catch y'all next week, Smoking_Joe_Frasier
