********* Week 11 - June 20 to 26, 2020 - Days 71 to 77 from germination ***********
*
It is the end of flush week and she went into darkness on Wednesday night, day 75, for two days. Saturday will be harvest day and start and the dry process👍
This week she continued to fill in and she also pushed out more frosty tricombs!! The fade happened this week more and she fed off of more of the nutrients within the plant.....perfect😃......would like a little more even but she was ready based on tricombs. Would like to have seen the lower leaves a little more yellow but its good.
I am feeling very strongly that the big part of the pH issues this run was a change in feed water. I have always used bottled RO water for all my grows, except outdoors, but this grow I switched to tap water. Dechlorinated the water with air stone and gave it 24 hours min before using. Wanted to save some money and tired of lugging bottles downstairs a couple of times a week☹️ This is worked out nicely and a lot more convenient. However, the city must be putting some crap in the water that is causing issues in my media and raises the pH after the watering. Out of the tap it is 8.4pH and 275ppm. Since ppm were not too bad in my opinion I moved forward without filtering the water.......oops🤬🤬🤬 Out of options on what is causing the issue, I switched back to RO water late last week........all the girls are happier!!!! F......missed the cause for weeks. Always learning from this plant and my own mistakes to get better every run😉👍
Also wanted to add a little more stress to girl to help push out some increased resin. I drilled a 5/16” hole into the main stem to cause her stress. I did this rather than trying to break a branch and will see it goes this run. Sterilized a new bit in Alcohol and went for it. They went into darkness about a couple of hours later. Excited to see what happens when she comes out to get chopped😃😃
Not really a lot more to add this week as it was mainly looking at the tricombs and her buds. The pH will impact the harvest but she has been fun to grow and very resilient to pest and bug issues as well as grower curve balls. As always.......nice job Sweet Seeds....... SWS56 is very solid and I look forward to running her again one day. Beautiful little girl and makes me smile😃😃😃
Little more detail......
June 20/20 - Day 71
- Rezin and Liquid Weight @ 2ml/L = 285ppm and 4.0pH
- 8L given to get a good flush....pH still running around 7.4
- Runoff in pots already were 7.9pH and 685ppm.
- after 8L water runoff was 7.4pH and 360ppm.
- she is 20” tall and 24” wide.
- a number of clear tricombs but more becoming cloudy.
June 21/20 - Day 72
- dry out day.
- buds are firming up......squeezed a couple🧐
June 22/20 - Day 73
- Rezin @ 1ml/L = 120ppm and pH the water to 2.7!!!!!!!!!
- Given 2L watering.
- No runoff water and I am good with that as I want the low pH water to stay in the medium.
- her frost levels are really coming out now.....was able to lower tent temps to 75 degrees and 51% humidity......its been raining a bit so damn humidity has been high.
June 23/20 - Day 74
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 2.4!!!!!!
- not excited about these crazy low pH numbers but doing what we can
- her tops are getting more pointy now and ripening nicely
- leaves continue to fade......she is close
- checking tricombs, I think we are done and tomorrow will be her last day so that I can take down on Saturday.
June 24/20 - Day 75
- 2L plain water feed - 80ppm and pH to 3.0
- Going into darkness tonight so this was her last bit of moisture.
- drilled a hole into the stem.....was going to do a couple of holes but not trying this method before I decided to leave it with one hole.
- into darkness tonight
So we finish up the week with her in the dark. Next update will be the harvest!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to review my diary!! Sorry for running behind often on this run.........everyone has had a busy life the last couple of months in the world and its been no different here...........a huge Kudos to all the Growmie‘s that are able to keep up with their diaries on daily basis on GrowDiaries.......its a commitment😃👍👍
Sweet Seeds girls are very solid genetics with great vigour and resilience.......this strain is no different........great job Sweet Seeds🙏

The spider mites are still here and I can’t seem to get rid of them. Even by removing every last leaf you can find them on they still manage to hide.

Sorry for the lack of updates.
Flowerings going well, day 10 now. The kush main colas are pretty much in the light which is a bit problematic but I have the hps dimmed to about 180 watts so its doing ok with being so close.
I'm going to try feeding them a bit more than i have been. I definitely let them get a bit too big before I flowered them!

Welcome back all, following a week that has been a fairly straight forward seven days or so in Fat Yappa's Garden, as the older Bruce Banners reach day 51, day 44 for the runt of the sisters, planted on the same day but that took a week longer to germinate, and day 42 for the two Wedding Cheesecake's, one growing in Coco Coir, the other in the same living soil as her Bruce Banner Fastbuds cousins.
The week began with last weeks humidity issues brought well and truly into hand with the addition of the new 20L dehumidifier from Meaco, specifically designed for the UK weather. However a shift in the aforementioned from the falls dawn of an early spring, to a return to more usual climate conditions for this time of year through things off kilter once again. Despite pulling around 6L of water out the air a day, she was struggling to keep the RH down to around 50% with my central heating returned to its usual position of 18c, but an increase to 20c has taken things back in line, and the humidity has returned to the mid 40's I was aiming for.
Humidity concerns during this off period however, and a subsequent inspection below the top layer of the canopy, which resulted in the discovery of quite a lot of whitish, moist growth, prompted a mass defoliation, mostly of the Bruce Banners. I had been performing very light defoliation up until this point, only removing dead/almost dead leaves, and very select leaves from the top of the canopy that were blocking what looked like bud sites, but the lack of light and air getting through past the top layer, together with the fact that now bud sites are far clearer to a novice such as I, lead me to the conclusion that the time was right. Besides the runt, all these plants have not even skipped a beat. The runt has been a bit droopier in her leaves than the others all in all, but I have looked in on them and seen her with leaves pointing up and praying a few times since so I trust all is well.
Following the defoliaton on day 47, the plants stuck to their two day watering schedule, but di threatened to need an increase to daily, as day 50 saw waterings a mere 24hrs after the previous day, but feeling the weight of the pots yesterday I elected to wait til 48 hours to water again. The water amounts per plant has also become more erratic than previously, so I have been watering more carefully.
Other than that the week has been pretty much plain sailing, and what look like to be some big looking flowers coming up all over the canopy, as all bar the Wedding Cheesecake in living soil are now fully in flower, but she will be there by next week. The Bruce banner I accidentally snapped the top off from the second node down doing LST a few weeks ago seems to be about half a week ahead of the other two of the same age, and trichomes have began to appear on the leaves around the buds. The biggest plant in the tent is still the wedding Cheesecake in Coco coir, as she now stand a metre tall and her top is the same level as the light now. Her size is a concern because it has caused me to neglect her in favour of the other plants, certainly in terms of light, but she doesn't seem to have any more bud sites than the other plants, and for the time being at least, her older cousins are leaving her to shame in this department, but she still has a week to catch up.
Lastly, day 39 saw another compost tea feeding, the same recipe as last time.
Happy growing everyone, and I will catch you all again next week.

Its amazing how tall these plants are getting, the topped one is just as tall as the non-topped.
Flipped these to 12/12 last weekend, no sign of flower yet, added some p/k to the last watering.
Slight burning on top leaf tips which I'm guessing is because of it growing closer to the light, I'll have to work out a way to shorten the light hangers.

🌱 First week of my cannabis growing adventure with autoflowers! 🌟
As a newbie, I'm diving into the art of low stress training early on because autos have a shorter grow period and I'm curious to see how far I can push the limits. Just experimenting and gathering valuable experience in this rapid growing phase! 📚
✨ Planted in light mix soil with added worm castings in fabric and plastic pots to compare outcomes. Exciting times ahead! 🚀

Other than that they are still growing good the buds are stacking on. The leafs look a little crazy but they are healing very slowly from when i didnt have any cal/mag to give them but they are getting better. Any suggestions please feel free to inform me and as always thanks for looking and happy growing.

Week Five and Flowering has begun
Will fold in Bio-Bloom and replace Fix Mix with Bio-grow , may add some Phos via top dressing as well.
Yellowing continues to recede just not fast enough for my comfort.
Brandy has obviously stunted considerably and Maggie at least somewhat. Could not expect differently
Moving to Flowering tent soon as its clear, couple of days at most
10/28 UPDATE
Going to play on a couple of hunches at next watering.
Need to get a TDS meter soon, got a feeling it would help.
Ever since we went to BioBizz we have experienced a variety of oddness in the vein of this grow.
Now long term since we are switching to coco and Flora nuet line that is solved but short term I am switching to Dr. Earth Flower Girl for remainder of grow.
Every feeding/watering will be @6.5 PH to 20% run off and checking PH on that. Of course this will be modified based on results. Schedule is a single top dressing at 4 tbs (roughly 2 tsp per gal of soil) covering with 1/2 inch min of coco and 50% perlite as a mulch.
Layla must go on her own feeding schedule as she is just so much bigger and drinking well. Will do the feed when moving to Flowering tent in a day or so as that will be about time to water. She looks good if a little darker green than I like. Were it only Layla I might not suspect anything... meh
Here is where Grow Diaries saved the day , by going back and looking at past grows we came to suspect the nuet change although initially results were great problems always seemed to follow. In my reaction to that, not knowing, I may have made other mistakes, likely in fact.
Its a solid organic and may head off some issues.
Simplify
As for Bandy and Maggie, still have that bottle of H2O2 on the shelf, need to see some serious improvement real soon. Getting to be now or never
Later: Talked to the owner of a hydroponics store who is also a long time grower that knows these nuet lines cold.
His take is that it is absolutely the Bio-Bizz nuets, seems they are hard to run alone as they have holes in their make up which will cause mystery deficiencies in some plants and soil mixes.
That really pisses me off LoL , my fault though just glad I have partial explanation.
Good thing is he was able to show me the CocoTek Grow and Bloom lines and that is going to be the choice, two part feed without complications.
Simplify heheh
10/29
Confirmed the dye reading of pot PH on all three by another method.
Took a handful sized soil sample from as deep as I could of each pot and placed into a cup, soaked with 7.0 water let stand 15 minutes to stabilize, tested pour off, all at 6.7 so that is NOT the problem. Damn it
This is the reasoning:
Water goes into the pot at 6.4-6.5 takes the entire system to that level temporarily, it then begins bringing it up to 6.7-6.8ish and that friends covers the entire range of nuet take-up in soil. Going to cheat a bit high and make it 6.5 solid as its good on acid content. Least thats how I see it, back to basics so may as well.
Top dressing Layla today with Flower Girl, others follow when pots dry out a bit more.
Moved to Flowering Tent , something came up and they still have not been feed will try and do it this afternoon.
10/30 Fed
Recharge 0.5 tsp - Kangaroots 5ml - CalMag 5ml - PH 6.5 for one gallon over 4 tbs top dressing Dr. Earth Flower Girl and one inch of mulch (50% coco/perlite)
11/1 Defoliated Layla (about 3%) so the center of the plant gets good light, did a little training on Brandy to keep things dry,
Maggie... man just letting it grow I am just flabbergasted at this yellow leaf thing
Pics at watering tomorrow
11/2 No water today, they dont need it.

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati da me per una nuova pagina di questo diario!😉
Che dire ragazzi tutte le sorelle sono fantastiche.😍
La numero 1 è il capo famiglia, davvero imponente.
La numero 2 ha staccato le altre di 5 cm, ora è lei la più alta con i suoi 155 cm.
La numero 3 invece ha i buds già bellissimi.
Nel complesso crescono bene e forti con una distanza intermodale marcata che le fanno respirare bene. Ora le fragoline misurano circa 1 cm di diametro e quelle della numero 3 misurano circa 1.5 cm💪
L odore inizia a marcare i suoi aromi, pungenti note di mapo (Citrus × tangelo) si mischiano a leggeri sentori di gasolio.😋
Ho defogliato loro nel giorno 67 e ho allargato tutti le apicale dalla pianta 1 con Lst, i nuts rimangono invariati.👍
Eh niente! Anche per questa settimana è tutto ragazzi.
Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti.🙏
Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱 🌱

August 18, Day 28. Had to flush on Friday due to nutrient lockout. There were purple stems which caught my attention to a possible nutrient deficiency. Coupled by the dark green older fan leaves and bright green of new growth, my Apera TDS meter confirmed nutrient lockout. Kaboom was flushed a total of 4 times Friday night, then foliar fed at 25% strength the next morning. She was given 1.1 liters of pHd water since the top inch was already dry despite flushing the night before. I am taking her thirst to mean she is recovering well. I plan on resuming the GH least aggressive feed schedule tomorrow and will begin feeding with every watering. Now that she's on the mend from the nutrient lockout I can tell she's thirstier than what she used to be, I'm taking that to mean she's hanging in there.
Friends, growmies, cousins, comrades, colleagues and cultivars. Updates last week were minimal because this plant mama came down with COVID. Flushing a plant during COVID fever is no joke. Stay well and healthy everyone.
August 19, Day 29. Fed at least aggressive strength today until 25% runoff. Included a new supplement to the nutrient line up, silica. Today is the first time I use it so I went easy and used the weakest dose. Plant has 5 main sites so far, yahoozie. To top a second time? No se todavia, deja lo pienso jajaja
August 21, Day 31.Topped one more time, clipped the tallest point to give the others time to catch up. I know I will need to defoliate a tiny bit, soon, but I'm a bit scared to remove either too much or a mega vital leaf. I'll watch videos about it and aim for next week. I sprayed the top inch with pH'd water and will feed and water tomorrow morning.
August 22, Day 32. Fed and watered, no recharge since I used it on Day 29. As I repositioned the kabob sticks, I noticed a couple of milestones - she is in the very beginning stages of forming pistils and she is beginning to smell. I plan on keeping her in veg for at least 2 more weeks, hopefully this isn't super ambitious for a plant named Kaboom lol 😂
August 24, Day 34. I checked on Kaboom and found that the top inch was totally dry so I fed and watered her. I used everything except recharge, but will use it at next feeding since I'm aiming for 10 days in between applications. I think Kaboom is looking fabulous

4/17/2023 - Day 50 Flower: Start to week 8. Everything is still progressing as expected with no problems. Plan to go an extra day or two between watering to cause some extra stress in hopes of resulting in better tricome and terpene production. Not sure if this actually makes a difference, but why not try.
4/19/2023 - Day 52 Flower: finally watered for the first time this week. This will likely be my last watering using the majority of the supplements I've been using. Will be water with a small amount of coconut powder from here on out. Also plan to start dropping the light intensity next week. Today I watered 4 gallons again and made another sprouted seed tea. Mixed in Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos and Bio-Catalyst, BuildASoil Big 6 Micro Nutrients and BuildABloom.
4/20/2023 - Day 53: Happy 4/20!!!!
4/22/2023 - Day 55 Flower: watered today with about 3 gallons of water mixed with Coconut Powder and 2 gallons with molasses. Also, dropped the light intensity from full power down to level 8. The tallest colas are still only about 8 inches from the light, so my average DLI is still in the 40's. Want to bring this down a bit more in the next week or two.
