Room setup rundown, examples of bud, et al in pictures... Seedlings/Clones lights - Viparspectra XS1500. Vege lights - Mars Hydro FC-4800 Flower Lights - 650w 3400K 1900umol/s PAR, (3) 226w DIY 2900K 630umol/s PAR (678w and 1890umol/s), Substrate - 50/50 sphagnum peat moss and vermiculite in 5-gallon pots Climate Control - Luckily, the lights, winter and normal furnace use all equate to a decent temperature, though a bit on colder side in in vege phase, sadly. Humidifier is needed early and later a dehumidifier is needed when canopy develops. I only grow in the winter months. Irrigation - do not use the emitters in this diary. They suck a big fat dick to skip a line to suck a bigger dick. Use the pressure compensating type. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/232811-strawberry-cookies-og-r1-cherry-diesel-bbgs-ego-epg-ebg-grow-journal-by-001100010010011110/week/1366923 -- use something similar to those. They come in different shapes, too. Basic process The little light takes care of seedlings in 2.5" wide seedling pots until first up-pot. The 1-gallon pots fit well under the FC4800 in a 4x4 tent until day 21 after sprout. I plant 150% or more of what i need, so i can kill the weak without concern. The goal is for every plant that makes it to the 5-gallon up-pot being capable of producing a minimum of 160 grams with a maximum of a 35-40 day vegetative phase. Third up-pot is into 5-gallon nursery pots and now under the 3 DIY lights and the 650W light in the big tent for a couple more weeks of vege. An irrigation system in the big tent saves a lot of time. One scrog for training and another for support, just in case. Reverting back to a more systematic approach to canopy composition moving forward. About 2.3 colas per sq ft and 8 primary colas per plant. Yields were similar when over-crowding and being less systematic, but the proportion of less dense nugs is greater and trim time is needlessly elevated because of that fact. I was very controlling about this the first couple years but got away from it for far too long at this point. Drying / Curing - Into mesh racks for 9 days. I wet trim and cut down to similarly sized buds for even drying. Temps are controlled around 68F and RH is set to 60%. Then into some 5-gallon buckets with gamma seal lids and (3) 2-way 67g boveda humidipaks (58% or 62%) in each bucket - 1 at bottom, 2 at top. Temp/RH probe confirms that they hold the RH steady at 60-63%. Cost - 0.33 cents (USD) per gram produced. This includes an accelerated depreciation expense for all equipment used, fertilizer, water, electricity for all equipment used, new filters and other yearly purchases - bti, ph strips, sticky traps, etc. I'm a finance guy, so these numbers are comprehensively accurate and purposely err slightly on high side of cost. The only facet not included is the cost of my labor.

Week 2 Day 6 Flower Super happy with this grow so far! I've been defoliating them every couple or few days up until last night when I removed all the lower growth which didn't make it to the canopy/net and a fair amount more leaves which shaded branches. Going into week 3 of flower I will continue to defoliate if need be but I don't think I will have to do much we will see if they stretch more growth or slow down and start flower production. Thanks for looking in everyone Happy Christmas Fire Farmer 🔥👨‍🌾

Fantastic week. Lots has changed. Plants are stacking something fierce! I cut out the nitrogen completely this week, qnd that's how it will stay for the duration of the rest of the grow. I have found with autos, i have had the best luck when I push them hard with nitrogen up until this stage in growth. I then cut out the nitrogen completely and up the bloom nutes quite dramatically. For the rest of the grow I will feed every watering. Water at a 6.4 ph. Gro- 0ml per gal Micro- 10ml per gal Bloom- 15ml per gal Bug bud- 5ml per gal Very much looking forward to watching this batch swell!! 4 of these beauty's and they are looking phenomenal!! Not gonna be monsters plants, but look to be heavy colas!

Some explosive growth This week. She has calmed down on the drinking a little. The ph has stayed pretty level between 5.6 to 5.8 all week. Pistols are really starting to make an appearance. This will be the last week she gets the transition set of nutrients. I added another 450w viparspectra for flower. Sorry about some of the darker pics I got home right as the lights went out tonight. The smell is still light not heavy at all. She filled the scrog well. I am so surprised at how well this plant is doing now it’s like nothing ever happened. Plant got about 17 hours of dark yesterday do to my power going out cause someone hit a telephone pole in the neighborhood..... back on schedule today and we are at day 13 of flip. According to breeder we have about 8 more weeks to go. I’m no expert but I think she is done stretching (i think)..... I can say as a beginner grower this is an excellent strain so far for my level of experience. Been a little cold at night here but so far no issues

So glad that this girl was my first grow. This stuff reeks of lemon, I love jack and I think The Bulldog nailed it. I Look forward to posting some of the fire genetics I have next up. She never lost color even through a pretty thorough flush. Effects are very cerebral and uplifting, awesome for a hike or going outdoors!

The Wonder Pie were showing signs of deficiencies so I added 2ml/L of liquid worm castings to see if it helps, also top-dressed diatomaceous earth to help get rid of the fungus gnats. Will top dress the powdered nutrients again in 1-2 weeks. Also foliar sprayed them with Sugar Candy Syrup to help with the deficiencies. I'll go with bigger plants next time because I think I won't get much from these smaller plants. Other than that, just waiting for them to do their thing and hopefully harvest in 5 weeks or so.

Día 48. El frío ha afectado bastante el crecimiento. Pero aún así va a salir algo interesante. Creo que la mala genética puede tener mucho que ver. Por el momento falta poco para que los cogollos se terminen de cerrar. Calculo que en una semana cuando se cierran ya paso a usar el overdrive. Entre tanto, ya está abriendo la semilla para la próxima madre. Calculo que en 3 días ya va a estar para poner en el sistema hidropónico. Seguiré viendo que sucede.

D38. Growth is good. They was starting to be a bit more yellow than I like when the lights come on I added a bit more food. Jumped the ppm to 600 counting the. 140 from the tap water. I could. Probably. Feed more but. No need. They happy. The one girl is staying. To small I'm worried it's not gonna be able to reach the screen. So stripped it staked it. And gonna try. To branch it out more. To make up for it and will raise if needed. I've been. Really twisting these girls. Everyday. It has slowed growth down but the smell let's me know it's worth it. Very very sticky already like velcro. First thing I've noticed. For me is. That comparison wise my girls are very easy to make. Sticky& Stinky I've never had this much. Smell or. Taste or stickiness this soon outside they starting to get used to it. So now I'm able to really. Hurt the plant. And make it fight. Fir me the way I do it I get more sticky more stinky the smell is bad actually but I'm not sure if this is normal for inside. Already? I wish you guys could smell this already. It's got that classic skunky smell for sure but there's a Sprite smell mixed with a sweet. Taste already the leaf is very sweet and has a nearly pear taste already. At this rate. Probably gonna be vegging 80+ days. I'm gonna scrog um so really just gotta fill the canopy in but I'm not sure how much these hps can penetrate so I'm not sure how thick to make it. I got 7.5 feet. To work with and I can get the hoods. Real close to the top so I'm thinking. Minuse 1 foot for container 1 foot for the hood. And then the light distance. they brand new so 18+ or it does burn um I can get. 18 for sure so I figure once they hit the wall I'll switch the lights. First time. Here. So I'm sure I'll mess this up. But hey that's the fun part right I'm getting leafs with 9+ leaflets forgot to take a picture of the 13 one. Next one I will for sure. Got the 9 for ya happy growing. Everyone. And does anyone else. Add a month of grow time. To really damage the stems in a good way and keep stripping leaves. just curious ? I'm still giving them 5 gallons of water a day probably 50% run off maybe. More. I keep adding tell the run off is perfect. Ph for me that's 5.8 everyday when I check it. It's around 6.1 and the tds will be around 800 the madness behind this is all bro science but seems to me I only get so many. Water cycles 8b the flower stage. So this way I'll be able to really pump in the. Nutes and for me I like this style of growing. Let's me correct yellowing over hours and I'm thinking. Around. Bud time I should be able to hit these a lot more. And keep the numbers. Higher longer and keep the ph more stable. But like I said some bro science so we will see but my coco is a 50 50 mix so it drains. So fast I can really unlock the hydro part of this medium it does eat up some food and water and I'm sure this will double in flower probably 2 gals a lady everyday my thing is I want the girls to have fresh new. Always. So it's always got everything. It needs but still has the synthetic nutes style were you can still burn them with to much like I said just a thought on some bro science hope everyone has a good week.

Not too bad of a week. Not much to comment on. Hoping to flush the banger in the next week because it should be done by the 15th of May or a little later.
