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.

Plants are doing and looking beautiful. Plants look like they fully recovered from the previous weeks mishaps.. Buds are developing nicely at this point And every day I notice them slightly bigger .. I'm noticing the smell get stronger day by day as well Keeping temp at 76-78 and humidity at 45% At the end of week 3 I will run 7L of pure r20 ph@6 through the autopot system , to let any accumulated salts from the hoses and roots flush out . The plants should use up 7L in about 2 days and then I will continue with my regular feedings probably on day 3 of week 4 Also the weather has been getting warmer the last few days and after adding the 2 new lights the temps are getting higher in my tent .. Added 8inch Vortex inline fan to bring fresh air from outside on a controller that shuts on or off depending on temp

Welcome to week 7 growmies! She’s doing great in her second week of flowering! She is still stretching and got a bigger defoliation at the end of week 6. For the start she’s getting only ph regulated water from top and some nutrients from bottom. There a little signs on the leaf tip why I skip nutrients for one watering cycle. On mid of week 7 she’s still stretching and first orange pistils shown up. On weekend she’s getting another defloration and another round of nutrients.

***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted. D63 (26/04/2021) : I top dressed the soil of every pot with Gaia Green power bloom 2-8-4, earthworm casting, bone meal and shrimp compost. I think it was a bit late in the flower to top dress the Glue Gelato. From now on I will only give water. D66 (29/04/2021): I saw more calcium deficiency but on the Banana Kush this time. She is really close from the light and I think this is why the closest leaves got some rust brown ish spots. The lamp under the Banana Kush and the Gelato is higher now. I made a gallon of home made organic CalMag supplement with Epsom salt, crushed egg shell and molasse. I gave all 3 plants 200ml of home made CalMag when watering them. I will gave them approximately 100-150ml of this CalMag supplement every other watering. D69 (02/05/2021): The smell is crazy 😍 It smells soooo good! The house is starting to smell strong too 😳😅. - Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants. - Temperature: during the day: 24-26C ; during the night: 20C. - Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 46-48% all the time. - Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights. - Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light.

Todo resultó bien, pero hubo una semilla que a pesar de que germinó de manera exitosa no logró enraizar correctamente. Quedando con 14 semillas de 15 en total seguimos ...

This plant was my first harvest of inhouse genetics. Although she produced some seeds at end of life, I couldn't be much happier.

PKBR #2 is showing a couple leaves of what appears to be cal mag issues + senescence fading. I expect I’ll be able to ride it out til finish. It also happens to be the best smelling pheno in the tent at the moment. Drinking has slowed down as stretching ends. Stopped defoliating in any significance after day 21 of flower to minimize herm risks. So far everyone looks happy and healthy Week 11end = 8/10

WEEK 15 - 15/5/2021 - 21/5/2021 16/5/2021 - 2.5ml/L Florakleen mixed with 5 gal of water for each res tank. This will run for 48 hours followed with Neem oil + Chitosan + hydroguard top feeding. 18/5/2021 - I decided to go back to manual top fertigation. Mainly because I've been noticing several leaves on Moby dick and Critical Jack yellowing and older leaves seem to be showing multiple nutrition issues. So the usual diagnosis of nutrient lockout again then. Together with Fungus gnat issue, I think it's best to top fertigate until harvest. Minimal defoliation done and several small lower branches removed for Moby dick plant 4. 19/5/2021 - 10 gal water mixed with the following: Liquid silicon - 1ml/L - 38ml Cal Mag - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Micro - 2.5ml/Gal - 25ml Gro - 0.5ml/Gal - 5ml Bloom -4ml/Gal - 40ml Chitosan - 1ml/L - 38ml Hydroguard - 2ml/gal - 40ml Neem Oil - 3ml/L - 114ml pH - 5.9 EC - 1.08 mS/cm T - 25 All 8 pots drenched with the neem oil mix. 20/5/2021 - All 8 pots drenched with the neem oil mix again. Mixing neem oil with other nutrients may not have been a good idea. After a day, the sight and smell is just horrible. Looks like cheese curd floating around. Next time if needed, I'll just water the neem oil separately with the nutrient mix. It was truly a bitch to clean the whole container. So oily and stinky.

Week 3 (06/02 - 12/02) During this week I will try to apply the LST to the plants. On the inkbird, I will switch the fan with the extractor. The heating/cooling system parameters will be: 23.5°C (+0.5°/-3°C). The extractor will be on 5 hours in the morning, 5 hours in the afternoon. I will continue to feed the plants with tap water and only 2ml/l of Bio-grow. I will increase the light up to 75% with a distance of 30cm from the top of the plants. 06/02 D15: - 07/02 D16: first LST, bent down the pants directly to the soil. Watered the plants with tap water (0,5l each) 08/02 D17: I increased the inkbird cooling parameter to +1°C because the temperature inside the tent starts to increase faster. The plants seem to have responded well to first training 09/02 D18: watering day. I added 2ml of Bio-grow to 1.5l of tap water. 10/02 D19: - 11/02 D20: today I applied a second LST bending because the plants started to grow strait. After the training I sprayed the pants with tap water. 12/02 D21: watering day, I added 3ml of Bio-grow to 1.5l of tap water
