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 3 of veg. In the books and they’re all motoring along nicely. The Alaskan Thunderfuck looks to be sorting itself out so we should have 4 plants for the chopping eventually. Just gotta get em there first. They’re showing no adverse reactions to the heavier nute feed at this stage of development which is yet another feather in the cap for Druid Berkana. I’m immensely impressed with this nute line. Just another boring week of veg. In the books. Can’t wait to see transition take over👍. Background Just a fem run we were able to sneak in to the dutchy cabinet for some extra bud stock. Strain details as follows: QCS: this actually a strain of Alaskan Thunderfuck (Not AK47 as advertised). GD doesn’t have that info up yet. We’ve had it before but never grown it. I remember it being a decent and somewhat sedative indica. Blimburn: This chocolopez strain is very interesting. We’ve been waiting at least 5 years to grow something reminiscent of a chocolate Thai. This one should fit the bill there nicely. AMS: Their Borderliner strain caught my eye so we naturally had to… give it try! No matter how it turns out, this seed co. Has been nothing short of stellar to work with. We’ve got a whole bunch more of their stuff in the hopper for testing on the next cycle🤟. Smiling Tiger: This is an S1 of my buddies cross called Holy Surfer. Still haven’t seen it bud out in pollinated yet but the structure is classic skunk with a big primary cola, tight node spacing and exceptionally vigorous leaf production. The smoke should be interesting and the terp profile is very pungent and sweet.

Day 50. Gorillas goes by plan, Cookies is still a pain every time i see them ... Control garden will go to green house on day 54, rest of girls will get 24 hours of darkness and will be forced to flower .. Nothing good to be said, but i will try to feed them, hope nitrogen toxicity wont kick in ... Both strains are overfed very easy, cookies are overfed without food even ... ;))) Lets see .. Happy growing ! p.s. my old phones mic is broken, so put volume down while watching video ;))) Day 52. Girls were very hungry, so heavy feed and rain for them. Lights where dimed to 50% while leaves had water on them. Some Cookies started to stretch, inner node distance is huge, maybe i will have second time only in my life hermie.... Anyway, hope to switch them by day 55. This grow i cant get girls to pray, its always somthing, growing is really hard sometimes .. Good luck everyone ! Happy Easter ! Day 53. Girls sometimes looks ok, but still far ftom i have used to .. Couple more days of veg. CalMag next watering, still have some redish stemps.. Control garden will be moved to green house, too small, let them veg under natural sun, while those will finish ..

Ok folks, gunna be one armed for another 6 weeks so I'm just the conductor the true heroes will go unseen. Everything is alive atleast, had a scare yesterday as things got so dried out everything went limp but an hour after feed turned back around. Noticed some yellowing and other coloring coming thru on alot of leaves so I bumped ppm up a little bit this last feed. They dont look like they have a deficiency, it's weird, they look beautiful but with a premature fade almost. I really like Green Buzz' line up/regiment I just have to dial it in which isnt easy since it's a multi strain crop and various size plants. It's very easy to use and makes me feel good knowing it's not poison. Did a minor leaf strip around the tent just to make things fit better. I'll copy and paste this to the diaries for the rest of the crop per usual but go into a little more detail on each plant individually. Pics and vids were taken on day 28 of flower. I'm trying to keep up with these as best I can from start to finish, the flip date was 6.10.19, today is 7.9.19. Not much to report on these ones, they are growing pretty straight forward and doing very well. They have a great bud structure and #2 looks like it might have some fatties. Cant pick up the scent yet but the frost is comin. My girl took all the pics, I took the vids and she took pics of me takin the vids and it gives a better indication of the size of the plants/tent. I'm 6'1 165 soakin wet for reference

All doing well. Ultimate #1 is doing far better in growth under the Mars Hydro vs Ultimate #3 under just the Phlizon. This is what I expected I just didn’t really expect it would be such a large difference. The branches under the Mars Hydo are not only bigger and stronger but there are more of them!! Unless something massive changes the Phlizon will be just a seedling light from now on. Added a CO2 bag as well.

STRAWBERRY PIE AUTOFLOWER (FASTBUDS) WEEK 9 Buds did not get very large on this solo cup girl, but they certainly are frosty and smell tasty. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, going to give her a few days for more ambers to come up.

Only got Gorilla Cookies left. Chopped down Gorilla Zkittlez last week. Gorilla Cookies is filling out. Buds getting denser. Smell is great, like an Earthy, Berry, gasy Lemonade lol Gorilla Zkittlez looks like it’s coated in Trichromes. Smells berry. Thanks for checking out my diaries. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask. 💪🏽🌱😎

This week is going really good, started seeing white hairs appear for it’s safe to say that it is beginning to flower, no scent as yet but will update as time goes on. Was eyeballing the height before but now I actually did it and it’s close or even passed 3ft now....this plant is growing amazingly.

I'm really glad the second girl finally pulled through whatever was causing her to struggle to grow. Her leaves are coming in strong now. I've been letting the soil dry back a bit more in between watering. I just spray the bottle a total of 30 times now. 10 at a time to let the water soak instead of pooling and flowing away. No nutrients yet, her roots are probably still just in the Light Warrior soil. I do still put water in the self watering pots to add humidity to the tent and to "cook" the soil nutrients .

Sup everybody, I thought a lot and if got learn the time is now! I have 4 babys so I decided that two of them will be for my practice, one I won’t change a thing, and the last one I’m obligated to transplant (didn’t have pot :@). I follow the advice of putting more soil into my pots and that’s was great! I topped one as you can see, put some cinnamon powder to help heal (don’t have much sure, but read that somewhere). The other I did some LST, honestly this is kinda harder to me than topping because you must be very careful and kinda follow your instincts to bend the plant. The other one as said I didn’t changed a thing (gotta have at least one guaranteed hahahaha) The last and minor one I didn’t have pot so need to transplant very soon. That’s it, hope you like and honestly I’m satisfied until now, I thought I would screw it all just in the first week. That’s it, my newbie advice: go for it, just don’t go blind!
