I have bad news friends. A grief happened. After I updated my diary a few days ago, there was a hurricane on the street and there was a strong ice hail. The size of the ice balls reached several centimeters. That is why I am forced to do diary updates ahead of time. As you could already imagine after an ice hail that lasted 10-15 minutes. Because of this, the plants are very much affected. From the beginning, it became very dark on the street, as if night had begun during the day, after which there was thunder and thunderstorm and freezing rain began. I immediately began to worry about my plants, but I couldn’t get to them. Hurricane and hail began as suddenly as it ended. When I came to the place today, firstly I saw that the whole reed fell to the ground, so my secret passage to the secret place became open, and my buckets became visible from far, through the fallen reed. Most likely I will be forced to move the plants even further into the depths of the swamp, but now I can’t do it, because it has flooded a little, but my plants are on an island. I know that the reed will recover and rise when the weather is sunny. The second problem was when I saw the plants after the ice hail, it is that they were very badly damaged. Two plants managed to survive the ice hail with minimal losses, they lost only a few leaves. The third plant was interrupted by a central one on the crown. And the fourth plant suffered the most. His central stem was interrupted, and almost all lateral processes and leaves were broken, and only 3 branches remained on it. Broken parts of the plant lay below. This is very sad, since I wanted to try these plants most of all. Unfortunately, I could not do anything against the weather and the sudden ice hail. You won’t argue against the Russian weather. With grief, I drank vodka. I am extremely sad because of this at heart. Where they grow, the sun is not too much for the plants to completely recover. Part of their potential will be lost forever. They will survive, but they will not be able to give a full crop in the areaBut despite this, I will continue to keep this diary, as part of the plants remained alive and safely survived the ice hail. From the very beginning, after the ice hail passed, I thought that the plants would be completely dead, since it was almost impossible to survive under such a hail, even people ran away from the street. The fact that several plants remained unscathed, and two though they suffered damage, but everything grows evenly, is a real miracle. The city was very strong and big. Therefore, with your support and my love, I hope that they will show what these plants are capable of under the given conditions.

Произошло горе. После того как я обновил несколько дней назад свой дневник на улице произошел ураган и был сильный ледяной град. Размеры ледяных шариков достигали нескольких сантиметров. Именно поэтому я вынужден сделать обновления дневника раньше времени. Как вы уже могли себе представить после ледяного града который продолжался 10-15 минут. Из-за этого растения очень сильно пострадали. С начало на улице очень сильно стемнело, как будто днём началась ночь, после чего был гром и гроза и начался ледяной дождь. Я сразу начал переживать за свои растения, но никак не мог к ним попасть. Ураган и град начался так же внезапно, как и закончился. Когда я пришёл сегодня на место, во первых я увидел что весь тростник повалило на землю, поэтому мой тайный проход в секретное место стал открытым, а мои ведра стало видно из далека, сквозь поваленный камыш. Вероятней всего я буду вынужден перенести растения ещё дальше в глубь болота, но сейчас я не могу это сделать, так как его немного затопило, но мои растения находиться на островке. Я знаю, что тростник восстановиться и поднимется когда будет солнечная погода. Второй проблемой было когда я увидел растения после ледяного града, это то, что они очень сильно пострадали. Двум растениям удалось пережить ледяной град с минимальными потерями, они лишились всего лишь нескольких листиков. У третьего растения была перебит центральным на макушке. А четвёртое растение пострадало сильнее всех. У него был перебит центральный стебель, а так же сломаны практически все боковые отростки и листья, на нём осталось всего лишь 3 веточки. Отломанные части растения лежали внизу. Это очень печально, так как именно эти растения я хотел попробовать больше всего. К сожалению, против погоды и внезапного ледяного града я не смог ничего сделать. Против Русской погоды спорить не станешь. С горя я напился водки. Мне крайне печально из-за этого на душе. Там где они растут, солнца не слишком много чтоб растения успели полностью восстановиться. Часть их потенциала будет потеряна безвозвратно. Они выживут, но уже не смогут дать полноценный урожай в данной местности. Но несмотря на это, я буду продолжать вести данный дневник, так как часть растений осталась жива и благополучно пережила ледяной град. С самого начала, после того как прошёл ледяной град, я думал, что растения будут полностью мертва, так как выжить под таким градом было практически невозможно, даже люди убегали с улицы. То, что несколько растений остались невредимыми, а два хоть и понесли урон, но всё ровно растут - это реальное чудо. Град был очень сильны и большой. Поэтому с вашей поддержкой и моей любовью, я надеюсь что они покажут, то на что эти растения способны в данных условиях. Если вам интересно следить на приключениями травки в России, подписывайтесь на мои дневники и оставляйте свои комментарии.

I am a bit confused, it's flowering, but it's slow. I am sure temperature doesn't help, I gave her 1 liter of water every 3 days, supplemented with 1ml of biobiz biobloom and 1ml of biobiz topmax. I also had to defoliate a bit, it's in a 3x3 tent with another nl, a bit smaller, but still bushy.

Week 5 (20/02 - 26/02) I made no progress with the LST last week, hoping to do better the next grow. Some secondary branches developed more than usually but not as expected. I haven't been effective enough with the training. The last day of the past week, the two fat banana moved into pre-flowering, while the blue cheese is still into vegetative stage. During this week, I will start to add bio-bloom and top-max together with the bio-grow. The light will be to 40 cm from top of the plants at 100% of its power. No changes to the heating/cooling parameters. 20/02 D28: - 21/02 D29: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 1ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. This evening, being secondary branches still flexible, I've tried to horizontally extend them with ropes in order to give them more light, let's see what happens in next two days. 22/02 D30: leafs sprayed with tap water 23/02 D31: watering day. 1 liter of tap water only each plant. Evening check: plants became thirsty; the soil seems to be almost dry even if I watered them this morning. 24/02 D32: watering day. Added to 2.5 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. 25/02 D33: leafs sprayed with water. 1 liter of tap water each because they are growing and drinking a lot. 26/02 D34: Added to 2 liters of tap water: 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 1ml Top-Max. They seem to grow well and faster. The blue cheese seems to be in pre-flowering, almost a week later than the two fat banana.

As you can see from the third picture on day 29 she is looking a little ugly and unkept. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or something I need to take action on. Advice would be great. So day 30 rolling around. Decided I had to try LST again. She felt more receptive to being bent over today as well. I mainly had to attempt it for space reasons. With the current covid panic all the markets where I buy my buckets from are closed and I can't procure a new one to increase my height for probably a couple of weeks at this rate so LST was my only option. She seems to have taken well to it and I will upload a finished picture of her shortly. Day 32, watered and fed her. 500ml of water plus .3ml each of fox farm trio. Hoping to see her perk up a bit. Concerned about the large brown spot on one of her leaves which made me think she was having a deficiency? Probably a bit early to worry about buds fattening up also but I am worried they are looking a bit airy at the moment on the non main cola sites. I'm not sure if my LST was effective at tricking her into trying to have more than one top cola? Day 33. No noticeable gains today, at least to my eyes. I can spot a little nute burn perhaps but hopefully nothing too serious. Looks like a cola that isn't the original top is starting to fill out just as much, if not more, than the original top though. Hoping they all catch up at a similar pace to each other and reduce the pop corn nug potential! Day 35. She has shown a few more bud sites since last post. I am worried that she is going to produce a fair bit of larf/popcorn bud and wanted to know how to get rid of that? I am not confident to remove any growth without knowing for sure it has a beneficial impact on the overall health of the plant and the final results. Any advise is appreciated. She also seemed a bit thirsty to me. The leaves were feeling a bit thin and dry so I gave her 1L of water with .7ml each of fox farm trio. Hopefully she responds well. I will check her in an hour or so to see if the leaves are starting to point back up - fingers crossed.

This beautiful girl got the chop. All I can say is Wow. It went full on beastmode in the Cannpot system which is a self watering pot through a wicker system. The pungent sweet and sour smell, followed by dense colorful flowers it's a growers dream. The total wet weight came to a whopping 1014g. Over all was fun to grow especially watching the flowers swell in the final weeks before harvest. Did very little besides a defoliation and lollipop and started feeding Athena Blended line around week 2. Happy Growing.

June 28, 2023 Day 50 Zkittlez One: Height: 24.5" DLI: 52 mol/m²/d Light Height: 22" Zkittlez Two: Height: 28.5" DLI: 55 mol/m²/d Light Height: 18" This week will focus on Zkittlez One and getting her thinned out properly. I hope to have that finished by the end of the week. I've also raised the light again to keep the distance at 22" above the canopy. It's also helping Zkittlez Two. As she is a 28.5" plant, she was definitely a bit too close to the light. The other plants in the tent may not have enough light from the higher light height. I'm not sure for good or bad. Zkittlez One has hit the 24" plus mark! She looks fantastic. I definitely need to thin out the foliage a bit. I'll wait for her to finish up. But I'll just pull a few here and there as needed. However, I don't expect much more stretch out of her. Maybe a couple more days? We shall see. Water looks great. The stacks coming off this lady are, IMO, fantastic. The whole canopy is covered in tops and shoots still reaching. Honestly, if she was alone in the tent, I'm pretty sure I could have trained her wall to wall. Alas, I have 3 other plants in there who also need light space. Lol. Zkittlez Two is also looking great! She's filling out a bit still and building up those buds. I have a bit of confusion with her top. The buds are very skinny at the top and get fatter in the mid range of the plant. Around where the side branches grew to. Happily, they match the height of Zkittlez One. Or just a bit lower. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 62.3% (still super humid here) VPD: 1.07 kPa June 29, 2023 Zkittlez One This plant has been a beast the whole time. Now she is getting too big for the tent and way too big to accommodate 4 plants as I have in there now. The canopy is super deep and needs a good thinning out. Speaking of thinning out, I decided to remove the outer leaves to open more space for the other plants. I'll be doing this over the course of the next couple days. She also got a full reservoir refill today. Cleaned up the reservoir as well. Zkittlez Two This lady needs absolutely nothing. Just hanging out and showing me what I should be expecting for bud production out of Zkittlez One. Honestly, I think I need a bigger tent already. I've had this 3x3 for 3 grows and I'm discovering the disadvantage of a smaller tent. Plus the thing people seem to think is best is compact plant. I don't need mine compact. I can grow in my state without issues. The humidity is still super high. So far I haven't found a solution. I have 2 dehumidifiers in there. That didn't work at all. It's the main room the tent is in. It's super humid in there due to the weather. Tent door has been open for days. I'll ask what to do. Maybe someone has an idea. Update: So I was looking over Zkittlez One this afternoon and realized taking the tie downs out made the plant compact, but a bit too compact. So after some testing I figured out that I needed to tie down the lowest 4 branches to open up the center of the canopy. It worked WONDERS! The 4 branches along with all of the tops from each one spread out perfectly, completely opening up the whole canopy. She is seriously huge now. See pic. Just WOW I've also added a video to show her mass. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 62.1% VPD: 1.08 kPa June 30, 2023 Zkittlez One is the boss of this grow. She'll need another watering tomorrow morning. I snipped off some outside leaves today. And a couple blocking bud sites and more tops. A quarter turn made a bit more room for the other plants in the tent. Well, except Zkittlez Two. She is in the way back almost engulfed by Zkittlez One. Zkittlez Two has some awesome bud production going on. She may need a watering soon as well. Anyway, the whole plant is covered as I thought it would be. The buds haven't even started to swell yet. It's just going to be that much bigger. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.9° RH: 64.4% VPD: 1.01 kPa July 1, 2023 Zkittlez One looks absolutely amazing. Massive and still growing. She's nearly 30" wide. 24" deep. She is also 25.5" tall. I don't know if this is big for an autoflower, but I assume it is. It's the biggest I've ever grown. She doesn't need water yet, but at her rate, she may need another gallon tomorrow. I snipped off just a couple more leaves today, just opening air flow and bud sites. Zkittlez Two looks great as ever. I decided to finally pull some fan leaves. Just the main stem ones and a couple that was completely covering another branch or facing inward. She'll need a new reservoir tomorrow. My major concern is how much she is squished in the back. With the 4 plants in there and that one massive Zkittlez, the 2 vegging plants need all the light they can get, which puts this lady in the corner. I was honestly considering moving her to my dry Tent and popping the light back in there. Something else I noticed is the bud structure. They seem quite wispy maybe it's just how they form for now. But they are also really skinny. Especially the main cola. I'll have to keep an eye on that and see what I can do about it, if anything. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 63.3% VPD: 1.06 kPa July 2, 2023 Zkittlez One is now officially in the flowering stage. I'd say 2 days ago, but now the buds are really forming. The top of the canopy reads out at an impressive 26.5" tall. 29" in diameter. More bud sites and tops that I'm willing to count. Just a lot. She's going to need more water first thing tomorrow. Maybe later this afternoon. She's super thirsty and that's a great thing. I've also managed to thin the whole plant out. Not a full defoliation, but a few leaves here and there for about a week. Now she looks near perfect. Zkittlez Two looks great! Still buried in the back and the buds are still pretty wispy. At least the ones up top. Lower bud production is fantastic! Big fat buds. I might have to drop the intensity very soon to save the main cola. She's definitely not as thirsty as Zkittlez One and I am still a bit concerned about that. She did however finish stretching at 29" tall. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.5° RH: 62.2% VPD: 1.05 kPa July 3, 2023 I dropped the light intensity down from 90% to 80% last night. Zkittlez One was drooping about 4 hours before lights out. I read somewhere that too much light can cause that. So we shall see how it looks tonight. Zkittlez One needs more trimming I think. She looks great, but she has an 18" deep canopy and I'd rather give light to the whole thing. The top 5" are fine, but below that is a thick floor of foliage. I trimmed some of it away today, it I'm gonna need to continue for a bit. At least some for next 2 weeks. Every other day. Healthy is an understatement with this plant. She is really tall with the whole setup with bottom reservoir. 40" from floor to top. Impressive. Zkittlez Two is so stuffed in the wall, I feel bad. I might have to take her out and put her in my dry tent with a 100 watt light. That is still up for debate. It's an extra 100 watts of power I'd be using. However, the extra space will certainly give the whole plant more light coverage and produce better buds I think. I'm going to try and maneuver them in the current tent and see what I can do. Update: So Zkittlez Two was really squished in the corner. So I removed one of the smaller plants and moved Zkittlez Two diagonally to Zkittlez One. I also got to pull the 4 main side branches out for better light penetration. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 62.7% VPD: 1.07 kPa July 4, 2023 Zkittlez One is still growing a bit I think. The grow light is only 18.5" above the canopy now. Where it should be at 22" I'll have to see what I can do. Doing great on water and healthy as ever. I did start a bit of pruning. The popcorn buds on the bottom of the canopy. I'm not cutting the longer branches though. I feel like that might cause more stress. But I'm going to pull off popcorn buds for the rest of next week and of course remove fan leaves as needed. Every leaf is super healthy, just in the way of air flow and light. Zkittlez Two is much better in the front of the tent diagonal from her sister plant. Much more space. And with the side branches pulled out, I expect to see much better bud development. She's still a slow drinker, but I'm starting to think it's the humidity that's preventing her from drinking more. This is an entire week or more of humidity and lack of the right equipment. So I'm really hoping I don't end up with bud rot or mold. I don't think I'll get mold because of the air circulation. But bud rot later on is very possible. Maybe not probable though. I don't know. I don't have much experience with it, so yah. Either way, the grow tent door will be kept open to keep the humidity at a kind of reasonable level. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.6° RH: 65.9% VPD: 0.95 kPa

Hbss is 27in tall ABxRKO is 38.5in tall I'm starting to run out of height because of the ABxRKO as it finally flowers. Still slight nute issues with the HBSS, but nothing too tough to handle for now. The smells the HBSS give off are absolutely crazy. Just letting them grow, and watering every day seems to work. Will upgrade to earth boxes for this tent since a little autonomy is nice

Some of the leaves are yellow/ brown. Did a bit of research, looks like soil might be dry (especially due to high temps during this time of year) and possibly leaves being burnt by sun. Watering with a little bit more volumes of water, based on extra heat. Will track and see how week goes. The 2 bad fan leaves which looked really bad, I cut them off. Increase in volume of water for plants really helped due to really hot temperatures. Week 10 no nutrients (only used on 1st day and 2nd day of week 10) , just straight water.

The Mimosa ladies are now starting to bloom 🎉 I hope they don't stretch too much though. The light is almost at the highest position because I want to prevent another light stress episode. Ofcourse there is always supercropping, but I want to prevent any stress at this point. I'm slowly switching to bloom nutrients but in small amounts. Stay tuned for more updates and pictures later this week ☘️😀 The two plants in the back are full in bloom, but the one in the front is kind of a late-bloomer. It may make a sprint to the finish, but otherwise I will harvest the two other plant and leave this one to bloom a bit longer. We still have 4 to 5 weeks ahead of us and so much can happen in a few weeks. I'm very happy about how the plants made their recovery after the light stress. They look great and seem in good condition.

She has grown quite a bit over this past week. I'm excited to clone her and continue another cycle with good genetics. The watering routine remains the same, with alternating days of fertilizer and aerated tea. I also let it dry back for about 2 days. It's very healthy, with very green leaves and they're getting wider every day. I'll soon do a toppinp. See tou.
