Beginning of week...
Well, I had to work late last night.. So, she wasn't watered for 24 hours.. I have been having to water/feed 2 to 3 times a day due to the media drying out.. The roots are insane in the cup.. Alot aLoT ALOT of fuckin roots.. This is my first cup grow that had this much roots.. So yeah, I could see her drinking like a mf.. Which she does.. She is happy and healthy... Besides the underwatering today.. I couldn't be more happy with the way this girl is growing. After 7 days of 12/12 and the tops are starting to form pistils.. Next week should be epic pistil growth by the way she's been growing so far.. Will update when she perks up from the underwatering..
Later that day..
Shit.. She perked up.. But not enough to show a full recovery pic.. I watered when I took the underwatered pic and before lights went out.. That was only about... 4 hours.. Usually the girlies perk up after about an hour or maybe 2.. I'm sure she will be fine in the AM.. Oh yeah I forgot to add in the veg cycle I was adding 1mL per L of water of Silica.. So that should have helped her build up a good immunity to my abuse.. This is the only hiccup so far in the grow.. No more stress! Will update on the issue in the AM with pics whether she fully recovered or not
24 hours after decovering she was underwatered...
She perked back up.. I forgot to mention that I have been bending the tops to help the lower branches stretch up some.. I remember reading somewhere that is another form of LST, I believe. I'm pretty much just bending the top 2 - 3 nodes to point straight down.. Which is just enough to not snap the top completely off.. When I release the top she stays pointed pretty much at 90ยฐ away from the center of the plant.. A few more side branches have almost caught up to their main tops. I read that it kinda like tricks the plant into thinking she's topped 'in a way'.. I feel like it just stresses the branch upward from where the most bending is at.. And the side branches are not being stressed at all so they keep growing/stretching at normal speed, if not a little faster, while the top above the bend has been stressed and slows down, if not stops completely. Just my 2 cents on the dealio.. Just bend the main tops downward 180ยฐ from the center of the plant, so that when you release the tops, they stay bent over at 90ยฐ (or tied like LST) and let the bottom branches get all the light.. After a couple hours, the tops will have probably already pointed back upward..๐
The capacitor on my home AC went out.. Temps in the tent got up to 90ยฐ F.. Leaves were pointing upward.. Praying.. But also canoeing.. Luckily I checked google and youtube on how to fix it.. I fixed it in under 15 mins.. Got the temps back down to normal and just made sure I kept her good and watered thru the heat stress. She is good now tho. The pics for today were 6 hours after seeing the heat stress.
When I say LST this week.. Its just bending the tops down as I stated earlier in the grow.. I even removed the ties that I did have.. I shouldn't have done that because the tops kinda bunched together.. Oh well.. Live and learn.. Shouldn't create any issues.. Its easier to water now.. i was using a 1 fl oz turkey baster that worked very well.. But also time consuming.. Now I can just pour straight out of the powerade bottle I use to mix and store nutes and water.. I never keep anything mixed for more than 2 or 3 days at the most.. I have just ordered a bunch of hydroponic stuff.. And organic stuff... I can't run both at the same time.. I don't know which to try first.. Im thinking try hydro first.. Then organics because I think organics MAY be where I end up but still wanna try hydro to see how it ends up.. Hmmm...
Went ahead and lollipopped her and bent the main tops down.. One branch kinda snapped so I think it was pretty much supercropped lol whoops.. Didnt break the skin tho.. I dont really care for defoliating alot.. But I always end up doing it anyway.. I need to stop lol

Pretty good week overall! Day 80, I am posting a little early to coincide with my expected harvest in 2 weeks, and because today I officially started the flush! At this point I am anticipating the harvest between 5 and 14 days from now, depending on how quickly the buds finish ripening up. I am guessing the taller plant has about 75% red hairs and over 50% cloudy trichomes at this point. The shorter plant is slightly behind with maybe 40% of her hairs being red and maybe a third of the trichomes are cloudy. They have made a lot of progress over the past week, so๐ค they will continue that trend. Did a pretty decent defoliation on the shorter plant, due to some fan leaves that were blocking light from the lower canopy turning yellow. I have decided to try molasses with my flush water, hopefully that will improve my final product. One final note is the smell.... it is considerably stronger this time than either of my first 2 grows. Typically I do not bother with a carbon filter, but the smell was so strong it leaked in from my garage and permeated my entire house! So I added filter (and a very strong candle) and it seems to have helped the problem. Super excited for the harvest, will definitely keep everyone posted!

Started veg week by transplanting an AK 2.0 into a 20 gallon fabric pot others will be going into 3 gallon nursery pot.
The 20 gallon fabric pot is in second year of growing, is amended with Carbon G (Lesco) worm castings and other organic stuff I can't remember,
(Coast of Maine Stonington Blend 5-2-4) plant food and top pot off with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend soil, but I want to make it a no till type bed. I've also been watering pots with BIO-REMEDY to insure plenty of microbial activity in plants root zone and nemetodes too! See ya next week.

April 18 , day1 week 6. I changed the nutrient solution raising liquid koolbloom keeping the ppm around 730. I am basically following General Hydroponics online feed chart for Flora series subing in Maxi series. Some buds have out grown my lighting system, maybe I will keep them separate at harvest. Harvest 5 weeks or less! Thursday April 22 the odd pistil is turning brown. I am happy with the grow so far everthing is progressing as it should. Video tomorrow to start week 7.

So for this week the training comes into play . So 1 ogkz was topped, 1 ogkz was broken , * note on the brake it was the best brake I have done , not because I am getting better at it mostly because the outer skin of the plant with the OG kz was much thicker and stronger than I'm used to so it broke quite easily. My guess is the correlation with the autoflower plays a big part in that. And 1 ogkz I just left it be .
Green crack
1 kept as a mother
2 were broke
2 topped

Fungicidal treatment with potassium bicarbonate on 20-02-2022 resulted in significant leaf burn on plants after foliar spray of 8.9 ml/liter potassium bicarbonate with unmeasured amount of Breakthru sticker spreader. I had dusted the plants and pots with insecticidal powder the night before and there seemed to be no ill effects. Rain fell that same night and the leaves were splashed with dirt from the pots so I decided to "rinse" them off with a fungicidal spray of potassium bicarbonate. At the time I was confident this would have no ill effects but now I am wondering if I just didn't remember previous phytotoxic effects caused by this spray. I am also thinking that because I didn't measure the amount of sticker spreader, I may have overdosed the mix and that caused some of the burning by literally breaking through any protective covering on the leaves and possibly penetrating the plant cells. As I sprayed the leaves water soaked spots immediately appeared and within a few hours there was obvious curling and burn, particularly on spots that had small clumps of insecticidal powder.
Throughout this past week the visual symptoms of phytotoxicity progressed so much that by the middle of the week I settled my mind that this grow would be terminated this weekend. On Friday night when I came home and saw the plants in the dark I was more hopeful and in the light of day on Saturday morning I was quite pleased with their recovery. Lots of the oldest fan leaves were almost completely brown and yellow with light green veins and some newer leaver have been deformed. Thankfully there is little visual damage to most of the newest growth and after removing the worst of the damaged leaves I am remain hopeful for this grow.
Continuing my theme of living in the moment of the grow, I am choosing to think of this incident two ways. First as a "trial by fire" for the plants that only the strongest leaves survived and second as chemical pruning of leaves that I would have removed anyway, just not quite yet. I will be seeking thoughts on the forum as to whether these plants still have hope or if unseen damage has been done that will eventually ruin them. Regardless, I will progress with this grow as long as possible to see for myself what the actual long term effects are.
I have also noted what seem to be big hairy balls growing on plant #2 and have asked the forum their opinion.
In keeping with my plan to quadline these plants I have clipped the last untopped plant and removed nodes 1 and 2 of all plants. After doing these procedures the plants really just look like heavily defoliated specimens waiting for further training, I am pleased. Despite the phytotoxicity, there was enough growth of the 4 new stems of plants 3-5 that I was able to tie them down. I am waiting for confirmation that #2 is a male to cull it, if not I will tie it down as well. Only fed yesterday because I was watching to see how the plants would do over the week.

Culled confirmed male plant, thanks @m0use ๐๐! Fed and foliar sprayed with 12 ml/gal CAB and 7.5 ml/gal Cytokin. Used 9ml Ph down in 5 gallon tap water. Ph using ph paper ๐ was approximately 5.0 so I added unph'd 500 ml tapwater to my jug and added the 5.0 water to complete the gallon. Ph was approximately 6.

Last week I had decided to flower the plant as it is growing very large, here are a few notes for new growers.
Always flip your plant's light schedule when the plant is at the desired height this plant is now 3 1/2 feet tall. Cannabis plants tend to double in size depending on how well they are taking care of.
If you do not pay close attention to the height of your plants you will inevitably have a plant that will outgrow your tent.
Here are a few notes for some growers that have not grown in h20.,
First you can grow your cannabis in any substrate you want, the substrates that growers put here are common that you can find all over the Internet and in some local flowering shops however, all that matters is that the roots touch the water. You can grow in the glass fish balls, you can grow in non-toxic gel balls, you can pretty much grow in any substrate you want.
Second note: growing in h20 in my opinion is a lot more easier than growing in soil. Some growers will say that cannabis has a different taste in soil there is no science that concludes that the cannabis will taste any better or any less good in H2O or soil. It is all opinion.
However, growing in H2O does need to be taken care of carefully. Always remember to make sure no light is getting inside the reservoir and keep the reservoir clean of all debris. It's the same concept of having a pool. If you have a pool with no debridement it will stay crystal-clear with no filtration for a very long time. However, if you get debris in a pool unwanted organisms will start to grow such as algae bacteria, and other things that you would not want to touch your body, take that concept and apply it to a cannabis plant.
Hydro guard is a failsafe in case you are too lazy to keep the reservoir clean. It will prevent root slime rot and many root problems (It's beneficial bacteria similar to what is in recharge only for H2O)
Lastly, Your plants if grown in hydrogen will grow rapidly more rapidly than in soil you yield will be produced faster. Also, remember the substrate is free, if you cannot purchase deionized water you can use regular tap water as long as the PPM is low, even so, you can offset the PPM as long as it's tested. You will save hundreds of dollars in soil Perlite, and other fertilizers. Some growers will state that the chemical fertilizers are bad for you, that is completely untrue and also unproven. Again NASA uses general hydroponics To grow produce in space.

BLUE CUSH (SEEDSMAN)
70 Days from sprout.
She has many thick buds for such a small plant. Trichomes are about where I want them so she will be getting the chop and dry in a matter of days

Flowering day 3 since time change to 12 / 12 h
Hey guys .
My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully.
Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( .
One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( .
A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room.
I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet.
That's all I have this winter full can do .
Let's hope everything will be fine ๐๐ป.
As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures.
Now for the update.
Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres .
The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it.
I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots.
These are snow white and look very healthy ๐๐ป.
It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone.
Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats.
Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month ๐
๐๐ป.
I've started flowering even if some are still a bit small, but otherwise they'll get too wide from training and end up taking up space :-)
until then have fun and stay healthy ๐๐ป

Day 8: sheโs doing very good :D
Day 14: had to put support on the stem because i had too much fan power so she started to lean. Will recover in 24/48hrs!
We are entering week 3 now! I see forward to it, I will be topping at the 5th node.
She looks super healthy, Iโm so exited!!

She suffered with under watering practices and heat stress no doubt but seems to be stabilising with no further deterioration. Double Kush Cake Feminized is come to the end of her growth spurt reaching 60cm her gaps arenโt filled and wonโt likely be filled with due to the stress she was under! From now until the end the lady will be fed sparingly every five days with 1500ml of nutrients and npk
