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.

week 7 the buds look dens. I did minor defoliation and need to clean the plants more under the scrog. They are frosting up very nice and smells like creamy cheese cake. The EC has dropped from 1600 to 1440. Next week I will give them more food and fresh water in the reservoir and switch to 660w Boost HPS

Day 120 On day 120, the plant appears to be in a very advanced stage of flowering, with large, dense clusters of buds forming across the entire canopy. The flowers are heavily coated with a thick layer of crystal-like trichomes, giving them a frosty and mature appearance. The leaves near the top remain mostly green, though some show subtle fading, while the lower leaves display more pronounced yellowing, creating a clear contrast between the upper and lower sections of the plant. The overall structure is wide and full, with many branches carrying well-developed buds. The environment’s reflective surfaces emphasize the size and texture of the flowers. The plant looks robust and visually mature, showing the typical signs of nearing the very end of its life cycle.

Continued w/ the feeding schedule for this week. I used about 1.5-2 solo cups of water for this 1 gal fabric pot. Just enough to have the coco wet.

She got into trouble in the dwc, root rot and high pH. As she fed, the ppm went down but the pH rose quickly, and due to being busy trying to complete my grow room, she was neglected for a couple days and started to turn yellow at most of the lower tips and leaves. All those damaged branches was removed and used to make clones , and a slow defloliation and transfer to super soil, she bounced back very nicely. She's in the first week of flower but official, 8 weeks since planted, due to recovery and reveg time of 4 weeks. It's 8-12 weeks for full flower period.

one of the plants could not stand the heat any longer. I cut almost all of its branches, I will cut it completely. Others struggle with the heat, but there's nothing I can do.

The leaves are starting to fade and the shortest of the three has had her pistils start to turn and is getting dense while putting on weight. They have that “northern lights” aroma that is a personal favorite of mine. It’s time for the fox farms beastie bloomz for a week or two.

Hello, it’s another week report. All plants grew in height like nuts and gained aprox. 20 cm. The AMG’s Sativa genetics is now coming to all its shine and she’s much bigger compared to Green gelatos. They’ve came into the flowering stage and I expect some big buds as they will be developing. Thanks everybody to stopping by 🙏🤪 Happy growing. Update: made another photo in the tent - what a lovely view. I could sit and enjoy watching these ladies. Have my fingers crossed for AMG to slowly stop growing to the top of my tent 🍀

Día 31. Las plantas pegaron un estirón muy fuerte estos días. Estoy pensando en pasarlas a floración antes. Pero no quiero mudarlas al principio de la floración, para evitar stress. Sería lindo tener una referencia de cuanto ganan en altura en floración. Si es el doble en altura, no va a haber problema. Pero si es el triple o más, cómo muchas variedades que he hecho, se puede complicar de poco a mucho. Ya corté esquejes para intentar mantener las dos variedades. Voy a ir mirando, pero son 10 días más de crecimiento y de raíces que van a tapar todo.

Direkt zum start der Woche beginnt für die Pflanzen die Blüte Phase. Bis jetzt bin ich zufrieden mit der Sorte die Stecklinge wachsen auch bis jetzt sehr gleichmäßig. Mal gucken wie groß sie in den nächsten 2 bis 3 Wochen werden. Bis der Strech vorbei ist. 👉Update 1: 😓😓😓 Leider hat die rechts hinten mit ein paar Problemen zu kämpfen. Dünger, Licht, PH, EC kann ich aus schließen ich denke das ich den Topf nicht richtig Sauber gemacht habe. Mal gucken wie sich das bei der einen weiter entwickelt.

Harvested Ganja Farmer Seeds / Mandarine XL Auto today, and put 263 grams of wet plant matter into the tent today, I tend to yield about 20% of that in the drying process, so we are looking at about 52 grams of finished weight flower, I am very pleased with the quality of what I harvested today, I would like to grow this again to see if I can push it further, the buds are thick and very hard, extremely resinous, the terpene profile is Sweet, Sour, Mandarin, Citrus fruits, I am looking forward to the smoke report!

⭐ TrolMaster tracking ⭐ I started to track my crop during week 15, when I got the Tent-X TCS-1 by TrolMaster. First impression was: this is too professional for me, I can't handle setting it up and using it well. Then I started reading some posts on Instagram, I visited their site and in 5 minutes my cultivation experience took a huge step forward with disarming simplicity, I couldn't believe it. I have uploaded tracking videos from the TrolMaster app for each week from the 15th to the 19th, as well as the two weeks of drying stage. ⭐ Controller Chronicles ⭐ Day after day I appreciated the clarity and precision for data, access to all settings and instant readings by connecting a WIFI router to the controller's LAN port. I loved the possibility to dim my lamps remotely, or even automatically based on the temperature in the box! 🌱 GERMINATION (2 days) Seeds in a glass of EC 0.4 tap water for 10 hours, then in root riots and under the lamp. They sprouted after 48 hours from dry seed. 🌿 GROWING STAGE (10 weeks and half) I decided to give these plants a long vegetative growth and this allowed me to do a lot of training on both. Starting from the 4th veg week I started with defoliation sessions every two weeks, for a total of four during the entire vegetative phase. The last defoliation was done a couple of days before the switch, in order to allow the lower parts of the plant to get as much light as possible. Furthermore I did Topping on week 6, cutting the apical branch, then on week 8 I did Topping again on several sites, as well as SuperCropping on the highest branches to make the canopy uniform. The light cycle I used is 18/6 and the last two veg weeks I lowered the light hours to 16/8 first and 14/10 then. During the veg stage I made 4 DWC change, PH was always between 5.5 and 6, about EC I started with 0.6 and was 1.4 on the last veg week. 🌸 FLOWERING STAGE (9 weeks) I started this phase after 36 hours of darkness, I then changed the DWCs solution (adding a flowering stimulator). Then I mounted the ScrOG-net about 50 cm from the base of the plants and I wove the phenotype #1 through the net occupying at least 60% of the available space; the phenotype #2 stretched shortly after the switch and I used the net only to widen the central branches. They showed the pre-flowers two weeks after the switch, then I made two defoliations on week 3 and 5 flo. During the last four weeks of flowering (weeks 6-9) I simply paid attention to the PH-EC levels to provide the roots with optimal conditions. I then kept the TEMP-RH-VPD-PPFD values ​​under control and this also thanks to the Tent-X controller by TrolMaster which allows me to provide optimal conditions also above. I chopped them when trichomes were about 85% milky and 15% amber. During the flowering stage PH was always between 5.8 and 6.2, about EC I started with 2 and was 2.3 on the last week before flush. ✅ HARVEST - From dry seed to harvest: 140 days (2 days germination + 75 days veg + 63 days flo). - Chopped after 4 days flush and 48 hours in dark; - Wet trim, removed fan leaves. ✅ DRYING STAGE - Time: 14 days; - Average: 20° C - 50% RH. - After that I made a dry trim, removed branches and sugar leaves. ⚖️ DRY WEIGHT - Phenotype #1: 230 gr buds + 25 gr larf; - Phenotype #2: 105 gr buds + 50 gr larf. So, the overall dry weight is: 335 gr buds + 75 gr larf. ✅ CURING STAGE - Curing is done after 30 days with Boveda 62%.
