Great week 4 for my 2 lovely Papaya Sherbet

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

Whew!! That was a Hot Week just past. Several days in a row of around 40 degrees followed by 38 and 39 degrees. Today however is Overcast and much cooler with about a 60% chance of rain later on. The Wifi plant hasn't seemed to mind the hot weather in fact she grew another inch or three. During summer and high temps it's beneficial for your outdoor grown plants to be given some Seaweed or Kelp solution. There is something in it that is fantastic for stress relief in all plants. It can be used at any time of the day and growth stage of the plant and is simply watered in or applied with a foliar sprayer. I also added to the soil 1 smalll scoop of Great White Mycorrhizal powder and Azospirillum. These are root innoculants that will keep the plants root zone healthy and happy. all thats needed is to thoroughly water it into the soil and your good to grow. I used my Bluelab soil ph probe to measure the soils ph which seems to be pretty stable at 6.5 so all good there not much else to report for now so I shall sign off for this week. Thankyou for checking in on my Diary update and because i wont be updating until after Christmas day I'd like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas. Grey Wolf 19th December 2019

🌼 About the grow This grow is focused on three autoflowering varieties, each with different characteristics – speed, terpenes, colors and yield. The plants have a very healthy start from the beginning, the root system responds great to the BioBizz program and so far without any signs of stress. Gorilla Zkittlez and LSD-25 have a strong stretch, approximately 90–93 cm. Titan F1 is compact, around 40 cm, but very dense and quickly sets flowers. Flowering is smooth, pistils healthy, without hermia, the aroma gradually becomes more pronounced – fruity and sweet terpenes. 🌞 The goal of the grow maximize the yield in a small 80×80 box keep low humidity in the flowering phase achieve dense, terpene top colas test the difference between the fast F1 variety and classic autos 📝 Current status Beginning of the 4th week of flowering. Gorilla and LSD after fresh fertilization. Titan still slightly damp – waiting for the next dose. All plants without deficit, beautiful color, healthy tops.

FBA2505 is doing okay. She has had a good growth spurt after beating the root rot she has started to show pistils. Everything is looking a lot better then it was. Thank you Medic Grow, Athena, Xpert Nutrients, and Fast Buds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

Temps are looking to be better the next few weeks and when on a good watering schedule humidity goes above 50%. I've just been bending branches that shoot above the canopy down. I still need to update the measurements of length and distance to plant. Lollipopped on day 11 (Jul 2nd) the amount of lollipopped space down below is about 30 cm(1ft) With this light I think I'll be aiming for a half foot(15cm) to a full foot(30cm) of canopy depth. Getting the top sites as close as I can to 30 cm below the light so I have the top 15 cm of canopy at the most efficient distance for this light. Optic LED recommends a spacing of 30 to 45 cm (1 to 1.5 foot) fixture to tops for flower. anything further away than 45 cm will probably be fluff, but! Anything fluffy will be left on and used for old school bottle pressed hashish. My family, with exception of my girl will have to fight me for that hashish, it's been way, way too long since I had some good hash. Plus there's no way I'm yielding more than a gram or two of hash from larf alone. Plant height is measured from soil level btw, she's about 60+ cm pot included. Moved the light up to 45 cm above the canopy again and I'm already maxing out on vert space, with only about 5-10cm remaining. Switched the light cycle from 14 hours on to 12 hours on to be sure, she's leaning more sativa but she was initiating flower. (Which I'm amazed I could even tell she was initiating bud development) However having her re veg at week 5 would've sucked very much So far the vibes from this run I'm getting is that I'm still nowhere near great or even good. But I am, at least, slowly starting to get there. Recovered from defoliating nicely.

These videos are from yesterday and we’re on day 5 of flower. Been MIA trying get this girls back to being healthy. I think they’re pretty healthy these days for sure. I did a bud leaf strip yesterday and some super cropping as well. This strain takes 8 weeks to flower completely. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out! ✌️🏾

Changing the size of the pots so they can grow more!! And setup a new Led quantum Board 240w too

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Seedsman, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Genetica che non ha bisogno di presentazione fantastica di sapore e di odore.. SUPER CONSIGLIATA Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Planted 2 weeks after my other Plant and it already the Same size as all them growing like a champ. I know I need more soil.

11/15/22 Day 28- at the beginning of week 3 had the soil ph raise but got it under control so start of week 4 she is really growing nice trying to keep branches trained out to keep airflow in middle probably gonna switch to flower after end of this week

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of veg. Things are going good in here... It will be another couple of weeks before I flip to flowering. The plants are training well and growing good... No problem with pests. Yeah... doing good. Ok. Be Cool. Chuck.

📆 Week 10, 14-20 March 2024 14-20 March - Let the plant grow and observed. 📑 The flowers continue to form and grow as expected with trichomes and resins building. The smell is very prevalent of citrus/lemon scents with sweet floral undertones. Some shades of purple are beginning to appear in the upper buds (see picture). 🍽️ 14 March nutrient solution changed 🐲 14 March feeding schedule updated 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient solution EC 2.3 at 61 degrees F 💡 Light power at 75% , DLI 45-50 canopy coverage at 18hrs That is it for this week. Thanks for the look, read and stopping by.

Low nutes schedule, watering each 2 days, 35ºC today..... alternating water with top candy and nutes. Broke my PH meter :(

The seedlings responded really well to Root Juice from Biobizz,. Potted them all on day 5, and kept them under a 600w.led vegging light (Cobb Cree 3000w Led by Philizon) Days 1-6 Not much happening on the surface, miniature differences with each one, but been autos right now the seedlings will be rooting. Environment. Light cycle is now 19 on 5 off. Using the Philizon cob Cree 3000w full spectrum veg light. Light suspended 32" of the lip of the pot practically the top of the seedlings, I could have got it lower but I can't imagine much difference vegging. Night Temperature were previously between 19.5c to 23c. Temperature has been slightly altered to 22.4c to 25.6 following some guidance I read on; https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-indoor-cannabis-growing-relative-humidity-and-temperatures-n243. Set up is currently been regulated by Inkbird climate remote heat n cooling. 1500w oil radiator ;) set at 900w 26/27c 22.02.20- Slight change to air exchange set for every 14 mins previously cycling every 40 to 43 mins( radiator was set too low, higher power temp, more responsive to temp changes.) This enables the radiator oil to reach its heat n switch off it's internal thermostat at the device, not the controller. I found I was able to continue radiating a couple of air cycles, before finally dropping below 25.7 which then triggers the radiator to kick in as it's been able to cool off for nearly 26mins) Temp cycle Set 27c Fan activates 27.5 stops at 27 but temp drops 1.5 Heater (controlled by Inkbird climate controller) activates 26.c stops at 27.c takes a further 6 mins to climb +.6c & then fans kicks in. Take 14 mins for cycle. Pot temp 22.4 c to 23.7c Misting Using Active Vera 1.5 ltr 3ml active vera, once a day, especially over the top soil I find helps raise the humidity (ranges 60 - 80%) Week 3 - 03/03/20 Rapid growth, I topped five of the fastest strongest plant out of the 8. Some moisture inch deep. No feed required. Humidity 50 to 65 Temp 26c to 27c Week 3 Day 3 - 5/3/20 Water feed. pH. 5.9 Biobizz: Bio.Grow 2ml/L (20ml) Bio Bloom 1ml/L (10ml) Top Max 1ml/L (10ml) Bio Heaven 2ml/L (20ml) Alg-A-Mic 2ml/L (20ml) Acti-Vera 2ml/L (20ml) Cal-Mag 1ml per gallon (2ml) Water mister lightly mist the flowers following feed as leaves began to droop from lack of water. 2ltrs pH.5.9 2ml Acti Vera 2ml Alg-A-Mic Used 200ml, will save n use rest over the next couple of days. Humidity following feed 75% Humidifier set at 60% Humidity Range 50 to 60 Room temp 25 to 27c av 26c Lights off temp 19.5c to 23c (pot) Pot temp Day Time 25c to 26c Plants responding really well to been topped, loads of new foliage in just 2 days. Started 1st course in blooming feeds. All have started pre flowering, with little white hairs appearing down the stem. Step are as thick as the gavita kettle power cord. Smell like fresh humid green, to the touch of the plant is exhibiting tangy fresh citrousy smells that have that widow rhino smell,.. mmm. Week 4 10/3/20 Day 29 11/3/20 Water feed. 10 ltrs 1.25 Lt p p pH. 5.9 Biobizz: Bio.Grow 2ml/L (20ml) Bio Bloom 2ml/L (20ml) Top Max 2ml/L (10ml) Bio Heaven 2ml/L (20ml) Alg-A-Mic 2ml/L (20ml) Acti-Vera 2ml/L (20ml) CalMag 1ml p gallon (2ml) Bat Guano Fert 2x scoops Some light LST training. Height 14.5 to 17" smallest to tallest. 17" is the CC that has not been topped As shown below. In pic 1 Sat 14/03/20 D32 (Seems I wasn't putting enough water through, so no previous run offs.) I noticed the begining signs of Nitrogen toxicity as some leaf's where begining to claw. I let the plants dry out a day further. I filled a reservoir 80 ltrs tap water, n let sit overnight pH to 6.3 Sunday W4 D33 15/03/20 Poured 8 litres into each pot gradually (2ltr bottle hand feed) - water didn't run off untill the 6ltr (3rd bottle), the next 2ltrs that followed ran out quicker & less sluggish. I checked in 6hrs later, plants appear to be well. I will keep you posted as we enter the beginning of week 5 (week6 on grow diaries as Day 1 was week 1,. Unable to amend) #sweetseeds

First week of Veg is done after the propagator tent. Clones looking good so far - getting healthy again. Startet LST.
