Moved some small clones after sitting in an aeroponic cloner for 2 weeks. We waited until they had 3 <--> 4 inch roots before transplanting them into the 6 site system. This is our first time growing with a hydroponic sysyem and first time indoors also. Running 4 weaker clones in fox farm's ocean floor blend to see the difference in growth rate between the 2 mediums.

Lots of learning curves! Started using a king led only to find out it didn’t cover all the plants, leaving just the mother growing in the middle! On with the hps!

So It's been a great week! Apologies to anyone following as I'm a couple days late updating the diary this week due to work. Anyway, bud growth is really coming on! They're starting to fatten up nicely and the smell is just fantastic. Lots of trichomes as you can see from the pics and her parentage is really starting to show with those lovely bright orange pistils. The addition of PK warrior has certainly given them a boost but I have a feeling she is going to need longer than the advertised "8 weeks" to fully mature. We will see. Have a good week. 😁👍🌴

*********Week 6 (Flower week) - January 14 to 20, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) The week went by pretty quick and overall and started to show more positivity. She finally set her buds 👍 and has taken off with more growth😃.....stretching. Wrestled with the idea that she might be a photo rather than an auto, had that one before, and wanted to ensure she was not. Moved her into the veg tent and with the lower light intensity and temperature she seemed to relax and finally set her bud sites......she is an auto......so why the heck so long to flip? Genetic issue or normal growth pattern??? Again, happy to see the growth but she will not be a producer of quantity so hoping the quality will be there😯😕😯 Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of small growing nodes. The branches were tiny and I want to keep her focused on the thicker branches she already has. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has become tall and lanky over the last two weeks. Not at all the growth pattern I was expecting.......would have definitely bent her top over had I known she would go like this😩 Wondering if I should bend over SW2 or not now😕 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Won’t be using CalMag much longer as we are getting later in flower. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full 2 weeks for sure. I suspect she will run a full 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 8. Really don’t know what she is going to do at this point😕😕 Going to be interesting if her sister follows everything in the same manner.......she is in a 1 gal pot...downsides from 3 gal........live and learn Baby!!!👏👍 Little more detail: Jan 14/20 - Day 36 - only given 1L of plain water, pH 6.1 - no nutrients. - thinking she maybe a photo period......if so then I need to back up her medium to and end of veg state and get ready to run her in 12/12 to flip her.......had happen with a Dinafem pack before. - that would suck.....another 7 weeks to go if she is. Jan 15/20 - Day 37 - 2L water - Dual Fuel & CalMag @ 0.5ml/L - 450ppm & pH to 5.7 - She is now 18" tall!!!!! A little odd compared to other diaries for this strain?? - Side branches firming up but the low ones are still soft. - Her Main stem is still soft as well.....more of what you expect in veg not flower......as a comparison. - Nodes growth is still odd, some nodes have four fan leaves for example? Jan 16/20 - Day 38 - 1L plain water only today. - She did not drink a lot yesterday. - SW1 & SW2 moved to veg tent under T5. - ThinkIng I will shock them a bit and see what happens. If a photo she should calm down and show signs of new growth.....too many hairs popping but grasping at straws here.....if she is an auto she should form buds in a couple of days??? - Set the temp in the tent to 82 degrees and humidity to 55%. - Moved light to 14” off top cola. Jan 17/20 - Day 39 - Nothing given today. No water.....dry out day. - She looked good this morning.....perky and happy - Leaves opened up and exposed buds........give her another day or so.......she is an auto......just really slow consistently through all stages. Jan 18/20 - Day 40 - 2L full feed plus 1L plain water added to reduce the ppm and not shock her.........740ppm and 6.1pH.......total watering 3L - nothing in PM.....pot still wet. - concerned about bud sites not getting enough light so moved her back into the flower tent in evening. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 22” tall and 24” wide.. Jan 19/20 - Day 41 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again but added Piranha and Voodoo Juice at 2ml/L as well.....975 ppm 5.9 pH. - full strength was 1275ppm so added plain water to bring down a bit. - runoff: 1130 ppm and 5.7 pH.....Start bringing up the pH now to 6.1. - Cut off two more low bud sites with tiny branches. - Tied her down more now to help make her wider. Reached up to a couple of the higher nodes I had left alone previously. - Seeing a Kush style long branches. She is now the tallest in the tent! Jan 20/20 - Day 42 - Awesome night after stripping. She is taller again and looks happy, more vibrant! - 2L plain water 6.2 pH in AM. - 2L plain water Sensyzime @ 2ml, LW8 & Rezin @ 1.5ml = 75 ppm 5.9 pH. In PM. - She seems happy. Filling out more on the side branching. - Bud sites are getting larger but still small overall........if like everything else with girl.......just give her time......patience😩😩😃👌 Have a great week fellow growers.......

*********Week 6 - January 13 to 19, 2020 (Days 36 to 42 from germination) This is going to be a brief update but that’s a good thing 😀 The week went by pretty quick and overall it was great progress. She stood up more and her bud sites set in and are starting to stack.👍 Her colour holding, on the darker side, and her leaves are still narrow. In a way.....don’t care though......not growing leaves😜😃 Have done some further cleaning on the bottom and removed a couple of leaves that were blocking. Took off a couple of low nodes as well. Introduced Massive this week for bud density. She has a thick main stem but not excessive....little less than a quarter. She has lots of bud sites with six main stems that should fill-in nicely. Should help increase yield😎👍 Keeping wet and happy is a balance. She was good with 2L last week and by the end of the week now she wants close to 3L. I also bumped up the CalMag on one of the feedings a bit to help ensure she doesn’t show issues. Don’t want to use CalMag much longer though because she already gets lots of nitrogen. Not sure how much longer to feed......will go another full week for sure. I suspect she will run a full 9 weeks and more likely 10 weeks, then if allowing a 2 week flush you only go through week 7....and maybe 8.....thats next week or week after! Therefore, even if I push it I will likely only go another 2 weeks of feeding😟😓😕 Crap time goes fast!!!!!! Gonna have to ensure she is wet and happy👌 Little more detail: Jan 13/20 - Day 36 - 1L feeding of Sensyzime, Piranha, Voodoo Juice @ 2ml/L. Not pH’d......water been running 6.3. this was in the AM - PM feeding 2L only Dual Fuel @ 1ml/L, Liquid Weight and Rezin @ 1.5ml/L = 575ppm pH 5.8. - trying out the Green Planet line so I introduced Massive this week. - lowered temps in room at night. Down to 65 degrees. - suspect the narrow leaves where grower error and nutrient balance......growing buds anyways......saves from a leaf strip at this point in the grow:) Jan 14/20 - Day 37 - Hit her harder today with full strength feed. 5.95pH - Pots were light so 3L feed. Not completely dry......just enough moisture left....3L had a fair bit of run-off.....eating a little less than the other big girl. - Rhino Skin back in for some more silica. - Didn’t go......holly crap she got big last night😮😮.....but she continues to get taller.....the bud sites white hairs really pop now. Jan 15/20 - Day 38 - 2L feed today. Only giving base nutrients and Sensyzime @ 1ml/L pH 6.1. - runoff water: 900ppm and 6.0pH. - drinking more now and she doesn’t give run-off before 2L minimum. - keep an eye on the ppm not getting too high and consider increasing her moisture. Jan 16/20 - Day 39 - 3L full feed today. - want to strip a bunch of her leaves!!!! Keep tucking the leaves but even those stems are stubborn.....good problems👍😝 Jan 17/20 - Day 40 - She is hungry :) - 3L feed full strength. - runoff water: 1400ppm, 5.9pH........medium in okay shape.....little high ppm given what’s been going in. - Good growth last night....liked the nutes👊 Don’t get to eager through😳 too much at this point and she won’t consume them all😉 - In the tent with only Zkittelz is giving a little extra room and she is loving it. Jan 18/20 - Day 41 - She was not dry in the AM but rather inbetween. - watering with supplementals.......Sensyzime, Rezin, Liquid Weight, VeloKelp, Piranha, Voodoo....and CalMag. - 2L with 240ppm and 6.2pH - nothing in PM.....pots still wet......she is looking for a little less than 3L per day still roughly. - They are growing taller......top of tallest nodes falling to sleep sooner at night. - replaced CO2 in tent. - Very happy today and good growth with leave up. - 24” tall and 28” wide......with LST. Jan 19/20 - Day 42 - 3L feeding again today. Full strength again. - runoff: 1350ppm and 6.0pH.......still a little more left in there than going in. - stripped two lower nodes and 1 huge fan leaf. - her buds are getting wider and taller....filling in😎 lots of them......or at least they jump out more with how she is growing👊 - she is happy....keep the same and don’t change things......less than two weeks feed left. Have a great week fellow growers.......
