-Was excited to see roots shoot out basket during the beginning of the week. Then some major root growth throughout the week. -Noticed some brownish coloring on roots, thought root rot or nutrient sludge? Found out, through advanced nutrients, organic nutrients will leave a brown tinge. -pH finally where it should be. Still using GH pH testing kit to measure so no exact number. Based on their chart, yellow 6.0 -Leaves look a lighter green then I'm thinking it should be. Will add a little more nutrients during next water change in couple days. -Humidity still low! Running a temporary humidifier I already had outside closet door. Brought up humidity by 15%, but still only measuring 35% at it's highest. -Started playing music for plant about 30min/day, also talk to it a few times a day. Anyone else do this? -Disappointed in sludge build up, and mild/strong fish smell during first half of the week after water change as AN claims otherwise for this nutrient. Growth looks great besides that. -Lots of growth this 2nd week, very exciting to see, both above and below deck.

Hi everyone :-) The bushes are getting thicker and bigger 😅 The stragglers are defensively brought to bloom without topping, because otherwise there is not enough space due to the topping bushes :-) I am very curious to see how they go in bloom. Everyone looks very healthy , and the values ​​are also in the optimal Area :-) Next week there will be a little harvest in the other diary, then the bushes will come into the blooming chamber because there is finally space 😍 I wish everyone a nice weekend 😎 Let it grow 💪🏻

Soaked the seeds in water with hydrogen peroxide 10 drops per 200 ml. GHS gave root first both varieties, CG waited 3 days and decided to add a second seed, after 24 hours both gave root :) Solucion - local Argentinian manufacturer. Coconut substrate - Plagron. Water : 110 ppm + 0.5 (HV+HM+HM)=350 ppm. Wanted to twist the sprout with a Lemon Orange spiral because it stretched out, but broke it in half :( 26.06 - 2 Marshmallow and Milky Dreams. P.S. the biggest one is Milky Dreams. Puse las semillas en remojo en agua con peróxido de hidrógeno 10 gotas por 200 ml. GHS dio raíz primero ambas variedades, CG esperó 3 días y decidió añadir una segunda semilla, después de 24 horas ambos dieron raíz :). Solucion - productor local argentino. Sustrato de coco - Plagron. Agua : 110 ppm + 0,5 (HV+HM+HM)=350 ppm. Quise retorcer el brote con una espiral de Naranja Limón porque se estiraba, pero lo rompí por la mitad :( 2 Marshmallow y Milky Dreams. PD: el más grande es Milky Dreams. Замачивал семена в воде с перекисью водорода 10 капель на 200 мл. GHS дал корень первым оба сорта, CG ждал 3 дня и решил добавить вторую семечку, через сутки оба дали корень :) Solucion - местный Аргентинский производитель. Кокосовый субстрат - Plagron. Вода : 110 ppm + 0.5 ( HV+HM+HM)=350 ppm Хотел скрутить росток спиралью Лемон Оранж, потому что он вытянулся, но сломал его пополам :( 2 Marshmallow и Milky Dreams P.S. самый большой это Milky Dreams

Day 28 - Full watering/feed to run-off 10%-20% at same strength as previous. (50% of maker recommended strength for coco use + cmx + root enhancer + kept extract organic additive) Day 31 - Decided lower lights by around 30cm 120cm to about 90cm. After about 8 hours the plants all suddenty wilted. They stay wilted through the night cycle as well, so I raised the lights back to where they were and they have bounced back, so I won't suddenly drop the lights by as much. If I do lower them it will be incremental. Day 32 - Bought a six fin 800w oil heater for the tent. Am going to place this under the oscillating fan and set it aiming to keep the tent around the 25-27c range. Hopefully this has the tent sorted for the rest of the grow. The humidity has been high lately due to the weather, so this might be about the only factor left to address, and I will look at getting a dehumidifier for the grow room if needed. Day 33 - Full watering to run-off 10%-20% at same strength as previous. (50% of maker recommended strength for coco use + cmx + root enhancer + kept extract organic additive) - Ordered humidity controller for extractor fan. - Ordered Temperature controller for Heater - Ordered IP Camera for remote monitoring Tent is now running fully sealed and using passive inlet and carbon filtered extraction to roof space. Plants are around 20-40cm high and the lights are 85cm above the canopy on full 480w. Day 33 - I have reduced the Light intensity from 480w to 420w. This seemed to really get a good response from the plants. I think as they've grown taller and the light intensity has quietly increased at the newly heightened canopy level the plants have been getting stressed. Day 34 - I've reduced then light intensity from 420w to 280w. I am new to the quantum boards and the concept of "too much light" so working out how much intensity, how much distance and so forth for the different stages of plants growth. I have a gut feeling 280w at 80cm might be a touch under-powered but I'll give it a full light-cycle or two to judge leaf growth and colour and make a call on whether or not to increase it or leave it as is. Day 35 - I found plants wilting during hthe night cycle without fan air circulation. So I've set the oscillating fan to run during night hours. Day 35 - I've turned up the heater a touch to bring the tent temp to around 26c. Infrared gun shows leaf temps to be around 24-25c which ideally I want to get to 27-29c - I'll aim for this metric once the other environmental factors are sorted (ventilation seems sorted so mainly just dialing in the light intensity). * I'm looking forward to setting up the heater on temperature controller, and putting the carbon filter ventilation on humidity control, and then mounting an IP camera in the tent. This should all be here in around 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to being able to view the temp/humidity and see the plants live without having to actually open the grow room. * The infrared temp gun is proving invaluable in testing leaf, coco and pot temperatures around the tent, which is giving a great view of how the heat from the heater/fan arrangement is being distributed - it shows a less than 1-2c degree variance across the tent which is just great. * Hopefully week 6 to come will be one with a lot less wilting incidents and the week that this tent achieves a somewhat final and stable environment optimised for plant growth and happiness. But so far every time I think I've got things perfected, another variable comes into play and I need to tweak something. Maybe by the end of this harvest I will have the whole process refined to a smoother less reactionary process.

I will probably veg these an extra week or two before flipping them. Was going to make this the final week but I don’t think they’re quite there yet.

Week 11 - Day 1 : Pinched branches from subject 1 and 2. take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 2 : Restday, changed water schedule to water-water-feed, watering my plants with 4 Liters per plant every 3th day. Week 11 - Day 3 : Pinched lower branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 4 : Pinches branches of subjects 2 and 3, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 5 : Pinches branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think, had my first harvest of ladybugs in the garden and released them on my plants, noticed that I have very little spider mites on my plants. Posted week 1 to 9 on my diary. Week 11 - Day 6 : Restday, woke up to subject 5 being damaged, What could have caused this? Too heavy branches? Maybe an animal that accidentally broke the branch and took off. Week 11 - Day 7 : Pinches branches of subject 3, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 12 - Day 1 : Restday, Watered my plants 4 Liters per plant with nutrients, added Big Bud. Week 12 - Day 2 : Pinches branches of subject 1,2 and 3. Week 12 - Day 3 : Restday. Week 12 - Day 4 : Restday, Watered my plants 4 Liters per plant. Week 12 - Day 5 : Supercropped subjects 1,2 and 3. In my opinion, the canopy of 1,2, and 3 were growing vertically again so I wanted to make it more even, I tied them down to 2 nodes lower after bending the mainstem in a 90-degree angle. Week 12 - Day 6 : Unknown information Week 12 - Day 7 : Unknown information

So I am halfway through my first harvest and I'm starting to feel like I may have been impatient! Would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism from any experienced growers out there! Do you think I harvest the rest of my plant now or leave it a while? Any tips/hints on the best way to maximize bud density? Thanks in advance

The 5 seedlings are looking very healthy and developing at a very very fast pace, I'm happy with their development so far, the 5 seeds have turned into gorgeous little seedlings with a perfect development, I Can't wait to see this ladies produce their flowrs and see what we find in this autoflowering version of lemon cream kush by spliff seeds, 100% organic grown using FLO (living soil blend and water)

Weekly update: Crazy how time flies when your having fun. Seems like yesterday I did last week's update. I did some defoliating and lollipoping on them this week and switched from grow nutes to bloom. Wild how fast the preflower sites grow as it looks like they're everywhere. I'm still feeding 16oz per day, some are drinking more then others but overall Happy Growing.

Last days for most of them - only Strawberry Cough will stay longer - she is super hungry and I can not keep up with feeding her - most of leaves are yellow now. 😱 The rest - four plants will be harvested on the weekend - 2-3 days from now and frozen - I'll be making bubble hash and fresh frozen live resin from them in the following weeks 😈 Trichomes are mostly milky with some amber starting - ideal ripeness and time to freeze those glands

Hanging tight with this kiddo... If one thing is for certain, she is dedicated to her life as a bushy Betty. Having to so often defoliate has stressed this lady out. Despite that, she is surprisingly still hauling strong. I have to say, in my experience Fastbuds genetics really take a beating. My cycle with her goes something like, bush out, defoliate, stress, bounce back with full on bush, repeat.

Welcome ladies and gentleman to the start of week 7. Plants are officially 42 days since sowed. Plants just woke up from their 2nd night of 12 hours off. They are officially in flower. That makes a 40 day veg. They are all just exploding with growth. Luckily I found a way to raise my light even more because they are pushing over 3 feet tall. They all are hungry for nitrogen so I gave them all 2 tsp before the last watering. The plants have a heavy citrus smell with some other smells I can’t quite put my finger on. I have my hopes set high for this flower cycle.

Aug 3: woohoo week two of flowering. Plant is definitely flowering and looks to be on its way to a strong finish. Very excited for this one and it looks very promising. Group pic is Cheese in front, Gelato, Gorilla Cookies, and Bruce Banner. Last two are 16 cola manifolds, and the front two are 8 colas. Aug 5: video shows use of 730 nm far red light as a bloom booster. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes. I use Civil Twilight as listed on timeanddate.com for my latitude each night. Currently getting 2 minutes earlier each night. The far red light at dusk, at the same point in the light cycle each night, causes the plant to go into dark mode about two hours faster. It’s like getting an extra two hours of darkness in a 26 h day. Works indoors and on autos too. Moves up flowering by about 3-4 weeks here. Don’t miss a night and keep it at the same relative time each night. This is sometimes called phyto-forcing. Easier than moving the plants into the garage each night. Aug 6: foliar spray of potassium silicate and Extreme Blend done in early evening. Plants drink a lot when it is hot and they’re this big and have been watering twice a day lately. Aug 7: did another round of compost tea this morning. Aug 9: defoliated the understory to improve airflow and remove shaded bits. Mostly fan leaves and popcorn bud sites with a few small branches that were growing in towards the centre.
