6/11 - My seeds finally came in the mail and I got to soak them this morning. With the start of the soaking I also took the time to mix my Fox Farms Happy Frog Potting Soil along with my nutrients. I wanted to make sure my ratios are a little balanced but slightly heavier on the all purpose fertilizer to start out. In my first feeding I might go a little heavier on the Bud & Bloom than with the All Purpose depending on when I think they need to be fed and how close they are to flowering. Perlite was added to the soil to make sure there was good drainage and I will be using 5 gallon fabric pots. I’m planning to do some LST along with possibly topping/FIMing the plants just to see what comes of it, so I’m excited for that. This is my very first grow and I’m not much of a gardener (yet) so any and all input and advice would be very much welcome thanks 🌱🌱🌿 PS - Sorry for the angle the video the next ones will be correct. 6/14 - All three seeds popped over the two days the spent in the paper towels! Finally putting them in the soil feels good. Going to keep the soil above the seeds moist with a handheld sprayer using distilled water every few hours until the light shut off for the night. I forgot to take pictures of the seeds before planting them. From here I’m hoping to get at least one of them to pop through the ground in the next couple of days. Of course, I’m still looking for tips and input. 🌱 6/16 - All three seeds have made it through the soil so that is more step forward. The critical purple has a shell still on one of its leaves so I’m hoping it pops off on its own in a day or so otherwise I may try to gently tap it off. Currently, the grow lights are about 24 inches away from the seedlings. I think I might keep them at this distance until I notice stretching or leaves curling.

End of week 5 for this lady. Awesome week for GG4 Sherbet FF she is bouncing back really good from the issues she had in earlier weeks. She still developing slow but thats ok. The leaves looks really good and healthy. I did a good defoliation to the botton so she can receive more light. For week 6 she only is going to receive water and cal-mag so she can continue with the recovering.

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) Both of these plants continue to pack on the pistils with no signs of slowing down...I thought surely the shortie would be ready to flush this week, but she's definitely not.. It rained for most for the day....again... 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: I took the shortie out of the closet today to inspect her trichomes. I took about a dozen close-ups and zoomed in really close on my PC and couldn't find any ambers, but they're about 50% cloudy at this point.. I went ahead and took some cuttings from her while I had her out. Hopefully I can get at least one to survive and grow outdoors this season. I also took some cuttings from the FFT#1 (the other shortie), and I started a couple of other FFT seeds (5 & 7) which I'll train out as horizontally as possible to match the shortie's heights. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Hello Canna Fam, Firstly thank you for stopping past and having a look at my grow🤜🏼🤛🏼 Today marks the start of week 8 and some of the ladies are slowly frosting up. The 2 Gorilla Glues which have been a bit behind in growth have finally stretched and started to flower officially. There is still along way for the 2 and they may flower for up to 15 weeks if I look at other diaries with a similar delayed growth. Today is the start of spring here in sunny South Africa 🇿🇦 and as things warm up we should hopefully get better growth. Thanks again for stopping by and happy growing y’all✌️🏼

Hello, This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. I completely forgot about reporting last week. Got the roof re-shingled and they finished on Tue and I chopped fire wood when they left. Chopped for 3 days and on Sat. I couldn't remember if I reported... so I had to look... I hadn't... Oh well.. Got 3 weeks left to go and this is the last week for nutrients. I'll give a couple of weeks of ph adjusted tap water only, before harvest. Yes... I still like to flush... For better taste. I've tried growing right up to harvest before and was disappointed with the pot. Or had to harvest early, because of pests, and didn't flush. I could taste the nutrients left in the plant tissue. Have you ever tried the ash test to see how clean your pot is? When you smoke a joint, the ash at the end is supposed to be white and fall off the end easily, for the cleanest cannabis. It always takes 2 weeks flushing, for me, to get that good white ash. If your ash is gray... that's not too bad, if it falls off easily. But if it's dark gray with black streaks in it and is stiff and has to be pushed off the end of the joint, then it will probably taste bad too and has too much nutrient left in it... Have you ever smoked a joint and had it sizzle and soft pop (not like a seed pop) It has too much nutrient left in the plant Try your own test (smoke a joint) to see how your pot stacks up. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

Here we are almost at the end of this incredible journey, the tenth week of flowering is over, the growth and progress of my plant shows no signs of slowing down. Every day brings new surprises and advancements that continue to amaze me. The commitment to providing high-level care with Plagron's premium nutrients has proven instrumental in maintaining the plant's exceptional health and vigor. The results speak for themselves, as the plant continues to flower and show robust development. 💪🌿✨ The buds have expanded further in size and density, yielding under their weight, and displaying an eye-catching layer of resin that highlights the vitality and overall well-being of the plant. It's truly a sight to witness and a testament to the benefits of using high-quality nutrients throughout the growing process. The TrollMaster "TENT-X" environmental control system remains an indispensable component of my grow setup, ensuring that the grow room maintains the optimal balance between temperature and humidity levels necessary for plants to thrive. The system's precision control capabilities remain critical in creating an environment conducive to optimal plant growth. 😎💪 The 240W MEDIC GROW MINI-SUN 2 LED light continues to provide stellar lighting conditions, providing plants with a tailored spectrum that meets their specific growing needs. By carefully monitoring temperature, humidity and VPD data via control system graphs, I can make precise adjustments to optimize growing conditions and maximize plant health and productivity. 😍 I'm excited to share a video that captures this week's temperature, humidity, and VPD trends, offering a look at how these advanced technologies work together seamlessly to create the perfect growing environment for plants. It is truly amazing to see how these tools work in harmony to support the growth path of plants. As each week unfolds, I am filled with anticipation for the new discoveries and obstacles that await us in the grow room. With the unwavering support of Plagron nutrients, the continued reliability of the TrollMaster control system, and the exceptional lighting provided by MEDIC GROW LED, I am confident that the next week, as well as the last, will usher in further progress and triumphs in this cultivation journey. Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure of growing and exploring the wonders of growing plants! 💪👽🚀

Starting to get some nice frosty flowers. The cycling UVB has really made the terps start early. Regular tea and water regimen and weekly nutes. I plan to add another layer of topsoil with nutes next week. Humidity control has been a slight issue. After watering I am typically hitting 80 - 85 rH - so will need to watch this. I could open the grow room door to reduce the rH but then I lose the CO2 buildup. Will stay the course for now. Plant #1 - Purple baby! This one has started to show some purple on the new inner leaves next to the new flowering sites. I am super stoked that one of the IX plants turned out to be a purple pheno. Just wish both did. Plant #2 - Flowering well considering it was behind all of the others. It doesn't have the purple pheno like its sister. Maybe it will still turn but not looking like it for now.

el secado fue rapido (9 dias) ya que estoy en pleno verano en italia y las temperaturas no bajan de 35º promedio , trate de bajar la temperatura con botellas de hielo y subir la humedad del armario de secado con paños humedos . Este grow fue mitad en interior y mitad en exterior , todos los dias por la mañana antes de salir el sol sacaba la planta a mi balcon y antes de anochecer la entraba al armario con un led chino de 50w equivalente a 400w para tratar de completar sus 24hs de luz . La produccion fue mejor de la que esperaba 44 gramos en seco / 250 gramos humedo La velocidad con que crecen esos cogollos desde el dia 30 es no creer , muy buena cepa volvere a estar con ella en el futuro .

start of week 4: i cut off the fanleaves to give the stems light. a day after that there is still water drooping out of the cuts like it doesnt heal ? weird. it has been a bit cold at night, the humidity also swings a lot but they grow, when the lights go out leaves curl up like they are freezing. the video here is when the lights have been on for 8hours already, when they in the dark they look dead lol
