Hello GD Crew!!! I’m glad to finally be back with a new diary. A LOT has happened since my last diary. The large room I was using back then got infested with spider mites. For a while I thought I had them beat, but they came back with a vengeance. So I thoroughly cleaned my 2x4 tent and set it up in the opposite side of the house. However, that part of the house is also now my new man cave and was under construction until a few months ago (its still not completely done yet, but close enough). I have also switched back to LED lighting. I’m using a pair of Spider Farmer SF1000’s (100w) LED’s. I was using a 315w CMH fixture but felt I was getting better results with my old blurple ViparSpectra’s (both of which have died). Also, it was getting too hot in the tent with the CMH. To be completely honest the best weed I’ve ever grown was using a 1000w HPS, but that could possible melt a 2x4 tent and I’d be tripping circuit breakers all the time again. After a lot of research it looked like the Spider Farmer SF1000’s were the best bang for the buck in the LED market these days. They have the right components (Samsung LM301B diodes and MeanWell drivers) and have great specs. I was able to purchase them on Amazon Prime Day for $129/each (USD). For soil I’m using Coast of Main Stonington Blend Grower’s Mix. I had been previously trying to amend and reuse old soil or mix old soil 50/50 with new soil and in retrospect that was a mistake. The PH was totally unpredictable as were what nutrients were available or deficient. I felt like I was always trying to fix soil problems and one thing would lead to another. So, from now on its fresh soil in every pot. I’m using 3 gallon pots with self watering reservoirs at the bottom. In addition to the Coast of Main Stonington Blend I’m also using Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. I filled the 3 gallon pots with the Coast of Main Stonington Blend first, then dig out a hole in the middle about the size of a grapefruit and filled that hole with the Sungro Black Gold Seedling Mix. Then I planted the seeds about knuckle deep in the middle of the Seedling Mix. This seemed to work great, both pots had small seedlings appear in 5 days. This diary will focus primarily on FastBuds BlackBerry, but I am also growing a DinaFem Critical+ Auto at the same time. I’ve grown both of these strains a few times in the past with mixed results. But, I’m hoping this grow will be far greater than those in the past. My plan is to allow the Coast of Main Stonington Blend act as the ‘super soil’ it is supposed to be and not add any additional nutrients. I will however be adding RealGrowers Recharge on a regular basis (I love that stuff, it really makes a difference) and will probably also add some CalMag once in a while. But that’s all. Additionally, I do not plan on doing much training with these girls. I will LST bend them over at a 45 degree angle around the time they hit their flowering stretch, but that’s all. Bending at a 45 degree angle gives better exposure to lower branches and allows those lower branches to produce larger tops. Hoping for the best!!! Please feel free to comment and follow. I’ll be updating this diary weekly and will be doing videos in the future.

11/9 - Flush 4L de água para cada. pH 6.5. 17/9 - começo das 48h de escuridão 19/9 - HARVEST DAY!

Going to be a big weekend for the babies! Getting transplanted into 5 gals and getting the scrog put in! Getting ready for flower hopefully by next week! Also need to grab cuttings from each baby!

Germination is going fast only put it in on Friday and it's Sunday today tap root right out. I do have a gorilla cookies diary already going that's in soil this one will be in coco . We'll be feeding with xpert nutrients Thank you for looking at the diary will be updates all the time . Ow I forgot it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

You walk into the back yard and it’s a straight face punch of smells. Looking like some indoor rn moved all plants to safer place in case storm hits so now I atleast have a wind break

Plant is growing well. Probably the prettiest one outta the bunch so far.

🌌🛸 hey hou, just putting in all pics from begging till now, cos im really low with the time,.. behind this project is biggest story of my life, not only grow story, its much more behind.. i wish nobody to get such a grow in way as i do,. actually is nothing possitive there and this project i started, cos i lost everthing what in life importnt is. with this project, once, i wanted to give back just a litle bit of that what i got,.. and it still not eneough,. some things you cant buy, you cant pay,.. and you can get back... peace and stay hard, thing about what you decide, think about twice..

Girls are going great!they are starting to frost up nice and putting on weight slowly. They all got a top dress and a tea this week with terp tea. I believe this will be there final feeding maybe one more tea

Wow transplant went well and there taking nicely had trouble adjjsting my watering. Any advice on how Much to expect to water 5 gallon pots!? Thanks!

Made a few mistakes with this first grow. To much light and under watering but she’s growing nicely today!

Hi guys, Hope you are all doing well in these difficult times the upside is you can spend more time on this amazing hobby of ours. Another week has passed and i have a few updates we are still growing on a 24 light schedule and im thinking about switching to 18-6 for the following week-week and a half of veg fase, The growth is good but they are not very thirsty which concerns me a little but we will see what will happen. 3 of the plants have a little defect which shows it self in weird looking leaves and stunned growth don't know what is up with that but we will also see what the future brings, experience tells me that although the plant may look a little retarted that does not mean that these will not grow to be amazing plants with a big harvest very curious to see how they are going to develop further down the road. I stopped giving the Hy-pro Terra i love the company and their products but there is something with the Terra line that does not make me happy although it's very easy to use just one component as a base and a few optional additives it doens't give me the results i expect so i made the switch to Hy-pro Hydro Part A+B and within a day or 3 the plants have a fuller green color and the development of the plant overall is very noticeable and the stem is getting steurdier and thicker. As for the lights they are still hanging on the same height as i started and i gave it a little more power the plants are stretching towards the light just like i wanted and when i made the switch to 12-12 i will gradually move the light lower untill it's about 30-35 cm above tha canopy and i may or may not take out met scrog netting i haven't decided yet. That is all for this week Hope you all are doing good stay healty and keep it green Cheers, Nibameca

We didn't have much hope for this one, hence the light documentation... her PH was a rollercoaster for a while but still managed to yield around an oz..not too shabby for a plant we nearly tossed... if we grow this strain again it will most certainly be grown outside in the garden.. I believe this could of been a very large auto given optimal conditions...happy growing everyone!

Just water

ok so its been about another 2-3 weeks flowering is going well ive added 2 top feeds of down to earth flower and rose mix 3 tbsp to each the auto and the veg 2tbs to mother clones and an a half feed few days back. cuts this round were signifcantly stronger, and longer. Well for the Gorilla Zkittlez, the Og is very slow in the vegative and i took 3, fairly larger clones, a bit too large for the propagation dome so they're cramped.I soaked the rapid rooting pods in a light compost tea to experiment ( ideas from youtube). Planted a total of 7 more seeds due to unsuccessful cloning and desire to explore variety, 'tis the spice of life, 1 x Auto colorado cookies 1 x og kush 3 x amherst sour diesel 3 x skywalker ghost (emerald seeds) new dairy coming from them after a solid week or 2 of steady growth

It’s the first day of week 7. The nugs are swelling up nice considering what they have been through. They are starting to smell strong. Both plants smell completely different. Even tho they are the same strain and from the same pack of seeds. If you have an idea of what’s going on with my fan leaves let me know.

Everything is looking good so far growing pretty quick.

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Cherry Punch F1👈 week 7 of flower Everything is looking good 👍Having issues due to using my well water , it's hard so I'm having slight issues but I am on it ..... So i continue to modify the nutrients to accommodate flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈
