Welcome to day 22 of veg my vid kind of says it all lol. I put a larger fan in the tent for air circulation as the small fan I had just didn't seem strong enough mind you the fan I put in is so strong I need to keep it on the first setting. As you can see in the pictures the microtopping has fully recovered and the growing is coming along very nicely I figure in a couple days I can start manipulating the plants somewhat I will also let it grow at least 2 more nodes before I consider micro topping again. That will be the only micro topping I do as I don't want the plants to become extremely bushy and too much for my small tent as I will be doing scrogging

💩Holy Crap💩 That was so much fun , it's full on winter where I am and it kept me busy , and come on there's nothing like growing your own stuff. I had a blast as it's been at least over 10 years since my last indoor grow , and it was fun , I had used all of my old techniques and equipment and it worked out just fine , so I was glad I had a ruff idea of what to expect...... Final thoughts Gonna be honest about that grow , it should me just how far Genetics have come, 10 plus years ago before I stopped growing indoors , all we had was like lowrider auto and greenomatic auto and maybe few others but they were horrible...... but this auto produced quite well as expected it should with the size of my medium and my soil base and very little nutrients, which is what I had hoped for from the start , cause I didn't really know where to start in terms of Genetics as I have been out the game for awhile but I'm super glad with the results and some gratitude needs to be sent to CanukSeeds , they came through as it always starts and ends with elite Genetics👌 ........... I can't wait to start my next grow diary, so keep an eye out , there's gonna be more to come , I'm going to try some really interesting cultivars........ PS. Can anyone tell me this , back in the day like 2003-4-5-6 wasn't growdiaries.com just a private forum cause if memory serves me , I was among those lucky enough to find a community that did complete grow logs, fourm style, which is where I found my growmie and Mentor Franco Loga from Greenhouse seeds , RIP BUDDY 😃 CANT WAIT TO START MY NEXT GROW 👉I HAVE CREATED A PLACE FOR GROWMIES TO VISIT , SHOW OFF THERE GROWS , AND JUST HANG OUT .....👈 👉ALL YOU NEED IS TO JOIN THE GROWDIARIES DISCORD SERVER !!!!!!!!!!!👈 LINK IS 👉 https://discord.gg/zQmTHkbejs

So far so good. A little discoloration in a few leaves. Bud sites forming. Weird weather we've been having and temps in the box jumped up into the 90's. That being said I went ahead and made the switch to LED. Wish I would have switched sooner. Temps fell almost 20F. Sure some has to so with the outside temps dropping back down but this thing runs so cool. Great light penetration but not sure if the intensity is enough. Time will tell. She pretty much stopped eating and drinking. I read that prior to flowering they will slow down overall uptake and slow down growth as well. I don't quite remember that from my last grow but I do remember there being a huge flowering stretch. I'm switching over to bloom nutes next week after a flush so hopefully she'll get the nutes she needs/wants.

Been a good week, haven’t done too much apart from try and dial in the lights and watering. I think I have the lights perfect as the leaves are flat instead of dropping down, but then again not sure so any comments are welcome 🙏 thanks guys I’ll see you next week… or next time I have a question 😃

Sunday, 27-02-2022 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. Wednesday, 02-03-2022 Culled confirmed male plant, thanks @m0use 😃👊! 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 😞 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.

The plant got very little care this week as I was away for work. I installed a automated drip system 2 wewks prior and it had been working a treat...until I leave that is as I suspect after the first one or two scheduled waters the timer flipped out and reset itself🤬 I have no idea why. Eitherway the plant got no water at all for 4 days., about 1.1 litres to be precise, well under 1 days requirement . As I have a remote cam setup I could see what was going on, I could see the plant suffering from underwatering but I could do nothing about it. And as this like all my grows are stealth grows because of the kids and wife I couldn't exactly have mates drop by to do🤣 Super painful it was to watch anyhow, captured for my suffering in the video. All ended well after a feed and everything is back on track. Maybe the plant thrived from the brief period of underwatering as the growth was crazy immediately after. As far as temps were concerned this week, there were 2 hot days where internal tent temperatures would've reached 30+ and cold nights just over zero. Honestly I've given up monitoring as there's nothing I can do about the heat when growing in a tin garden shed and when cold the bar heaters easily increase the temp by close to 15c from what it is outside. Good news is the cold days out numbered the warm and helped alot especially with the lack of watering. Thank you gunja gods 🙏 A beast this thing has become! Way bigger than I hoped for, way bigger than I need but I'll accept it's offerings eitherway when the time is right.

The plants are stressed AF and after more research from being here I'm seeing the problems. I got another fan and put it on the intake duct so that air was being actively pushed in rather than passively from the other fan which only takes air out. And then I got a photometer app called photone. So I fixed it until it read 100 on the PAR meter which the guys at the grow place told me was good. Now with this hygrometer I can pay attention to this and maybe set up alerts for when the VPD exceeds a certain range.

👉The time finally arrived for the harvest, mostly cloudy trichomes with scant few amber, very few white pistols, and the leaves had either faded or were fading. The run-off pH would quickly plummet and the run-off EC would spike. This may be an indicator that the plant is ready but that only would be conjecture on my part. The overall look of the plant to me said it was ready. The aroma was super strong citrusy and intoxicating. THe leaves were fading and there were virtually no white pistols. 👉I harvested bottom to top. I hung each cola on alphabetized clothes pins with gardening wire attached for hanging on the rack. The buds are dense and shaped like pine cones. I trimmed it semi-tight, but left some of the smaller frosty sugar leaves. The buds and sugar leaves are very frosty but it wasn’t as scissor freezing as the Gorrila Glue I grew last year. I measured the post trim wet weight on a self-calibrating digital scale. I checked the accuracy of the scale with a set of scale calibration weights and it was accurate at all weight ranges. I logged each colas trimmed wet weight and hung on the rack. I have a 42” tower fan. For first 12 hours I ran it at its medium setting, then reduced to lowest speed. I rotated the side facing the fan after 24hrs. Then after another 24 hrs I placed them in paper sacks with to top open. I left the buds on the clothes pin hanger and clipped the bag to that. After another 24 hours I closed the tops. Another 24 hrs and I test weighed a couple of colas. I monitored for another couple of days until the weights averaged 20-25% reduced from the initial wet weight. I then cataloged the weight of each cola and placed each into its own jar, most got one of those small cheap hygrometers. These hygrometers have been calibration tested and I know the drift of each. My target humidity is 62%. I would open the jars for brief periods of time during the next couple of days until the humidity stabilized at 62%. Once stable I placed 62% humidity packs in the jars. I took out most of the hygrometers for the next plants cure, but leave some of them with the best buds. The Queen cola was 20g when placed in the jar. That is about 24% remaining weight from trim. 24% is a little on the high side of the humidity target range. The jar the Queen cola is in, is a wide mouth counter jar and I will be toking that bud primarily and it will dry out the fastest. I have compensated the weight I entered on the dry weight spec to reflect about 20g more of humidity loss and another 30 for the stems that are left on the bigger buds. The final weight of the buds going into the jars was 254g (not including the larf at 23gdry). 200g of plump sticky pine cones for the final weight is pretty nice for a 1 gallon pot. 👉I wrote this review at 3 weeks before the 6 week cure mark. In my short experience of being weed rich, its been interesting to take note of how the flower continues to ‘cure’ as time goes on. I have found that 6 weeks isn’t a given for when its ‘cured’. I have observed that as weed ages it changes. I have not noticed much difference with 2-3 week old buds at 62% humidity when compared to 6 weeks from jarring. But I do notice significant difference around 6 months of age. The flavor is enhanced and the buzz is stronger. It maintains this level then 8-12 months it has leveled off and all strains are becoming more ‘couch lock’ inducing. My observations are not scientific by any means. This is just my 8th plant in the 2 years that cannabis became legal for home grow in my area. But I still have each of the plants and rotate which one I consume. 👉I loved growing this plant, and hopefully gained more knowledge. It fox-tailed a bit at the end. I think my frequent fertigation techniques contributed to most of the issues I had. I think I was a little too conservative with nutrient mix and irrigation volume and frequency. I used only 10% expanded clay pebbles in the coco mix as opposed to the standard 30%. This was slightly problematic at first before the roots filled the pot. Fertigation events would cause erosion and caution had to be taken around the seedling. I placed a layer of hyrdoton pebbles across the surface and the issue was solved. Once the pot was filled with roots it took 10+ minutes to give the plant 2L of solution. The pot was packed hard with roots. This may have been a contributing factor to some of the possible nutrient issues I had. I dont think the nutrient issues I saw had much impact on the final outcome. To get 200g from a 1 gallon pot is wonderful.

We are officially in full bloom. The have been enjoying 6-7 hours of sun light per day for about 4 days now, then brought back in under the cobs. The girls are all exploding with growth and stacking what I expect to be huge buds.
