Still going...sigh... 3/18 ; did a water change and man is ut getting awkward getting her out of the tent to do water changes. I might drill and put a valve on the very bottom of the bucket next grow to make water changes a little easier in the future. 4 gallons of well water with 4 tsp of maxi grow and 1 tsp of Kool bloom. I added 1 tbl of calmag for the hell of it. The older leaves are looking a little stressed. The buds seem to be swelling to me, but strange enough, seems like the smell is decreasing. But what there is, is very fruity.ph to 6.1

Budding has accelerated like crazy , and this girl is getting frosty . It's the frostiest plant in my grow by far. I'm getting a strange smell off my grow that I heard another grower mention , an almost moldy smell . Got me kind of worried but I've looked it up and down and see no sign whatsoever of mold or mildew. I do have a cheese plant in the grow that may be contributing to the smell . I've backed off the nutes as it seemed to not like what I was giving it , and I've also moved my entire tent to a cooler spot and the temp has been staying around 28 .

Starting autopot system and root aeration this week. Stay posted for updates. Day 1 You remember that movie "Training Day"? It's sorta like that. With a light trim for the buried leaves on lean. Day 3 continued lst, also some defoliating to encourage growth and light up the nodes. Day 7 did a final pin for the week. #5 and I had a tug of war, We both lost. Start somewhere other than the top when tieing. But otherwise I am real proud of my pinning and hope it's right on the money.

Critical x Animal Cookies is doing good for her size. She is under the Hortibloom Solux 350. She is the smallest of 4 in the run. I did a solution change today. I changed the air stone a few days ago. I also added a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses to the solution. She is developing a lot of resin so far. 🤞🏻she keeps going strong. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Outside right now untill there is room in the tent Day 8: Looks good 👍🏻 watered with rain water 👌🏻 keeping the soil moist 🌧️ Day 9: watered with rain water again 👌🏻 Day 11: watered with rain water again 👌🏻 Day 13: Looks good 👍🏻 watered with out supplements 👌🏻 just rain water. She'll get a new pot in the next couple of days ?

As a beginner grower - this is my 2nd grow ever and my very first run from seed - dialing in a fully automated sealed room, CO2 supplementation, precision NetBow drip irrigation, and plant biology has been a massive learning curve. It takes constant studying and testing, but the effort is paying off: the plants are super healthy, strong, and stacking flowers rapidly. Last week brought a major breakthrough in root-zone management. Instead of constantly fighting pH drift with acid, stability was locked in through proper ionic balance and bicarbonate buffering. The ATOMIK (v6.23) feed formula was fully aligned with the top 10 peer-reviewed research papers from the last 7 years (Dr. Bugbee / Utah State, Dr. Zheng / Guelph, and Dr. Bernstein / Volcani) DAY 45 Crop stearing light. 3.00 light up 5.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant 6.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant 7.00 10 minutes shot ? 660ml per plant - run off 500ml per plant EC 2.5 ph5.9 12.00 8 minutes shot 530ml 14:30 8 minutes shot 530ml total 3060 ml per plant RUNOFF ~16% One plant eats alot runoff = 100ml i add per hand 400ml. This was the smalest plant from seed. Now are the biggest, how strange.

Day 29, Too many bugs! Mini grasshoppers and one of those leaf tunneling bugs, as well as a respiratory bug within myself! I’ve taken care of the bug inside myself, now time for the Diatomaceous Earth!!!! And to get that bug out of that leaf! Still feeding a little cal mag. I think it’s necessary. Day 31 - Day 1F Going to ramp it up from 1mg to 3mg per Gal of CalMag OAC. I will top dress something special, maybe the mother earth acid mix, or maybe I will do a seabird guano with insect frass and top it off with an Epsom Salt solution feed. I’m trying to practice using less of a branded store-bought approach. But to source everything is so much easier out of a store bought package, so for now, I might just do a small amount of seabird and insect frass, maybe just a super small sprinkle on the soil surface, not in water. Day 5 of flower: and WTF is up with this foul weather. Only 46 degrees Fahrenheit! (7.8 C) Cloudy with 15-20 mph winds. Gonna drop to 29 tonight… this is ridiculous. I don’t have access to the tent at this time, so it’s cold weather today. I could bring her inside where it’s warmer, and there is no light! Or those house lights put out only a few candelas worth, not exactly light for a plant. Do she would just stretch and go hungry inside. I’m leaving her outside. Bringing her in over night obviously! But not much growth is expected. Just gotta roll with the punches. I thought we were flowering this week, but barely small preflower development. So this is switched back to a Veg week.

5th week of flower, the plant has stopped growing and focused on the buds. Both plants look nice, I’m hoping the 3 gallon plant gets fatter before the end though.

Last week we started with LST and this week we will continue but also do topping.One week closer to the goal 💚

Week 7 light time 12/12 from now 🍀✌️ Day44Little more lst and defoliation 💚✌️

Pretty good week with plenty of bud sites fattening up.Loads of defoilation needed to get light into lower areas. All good 🤞🍁

Super Lemon Haze (SLH) Final dry yield came in at 13 oz (≈368 g) of finished flower. All buds were fully trimmed using a bowl trimmer, producing a consistent, clean finish across the harvest. Trim weight was not recorded. Drying was carefully managed to preserve terpene profile and smoothness. Final product smokes exceptionally well — burning to a clean white ash, indicating a proper dry and cure trajectory. Smoke is smooth and easy on the throat, with no harshness. Flavor and effect are true to the cultivar: a classic Super Lemon Haze profile, with bright citrus notes and a clean, uplifting smoke. Overall quality is high, with good structure, even dryness, and excellent burn characteristics. A very successful harvest both in yield and quality.

The leaves are starting to fade and the shortest of the three has had her pistils start to turn and is getting dense while putting on weight. They have that “northern lights” aroma that is a personal favorite of mine. It’s time for the fox farms beastie bloomz for a week or two.

Everything is going great. A little stimulants and water - this recipe for soil I like very much, let's see what happens next. The purple coloring is filling the buds

Really late to post this week so gotta do next week aswell tonight, plant been doing really well, quite different to the others in terms of height, much higher and plant is almost touching lights, regardless she has been doing fine no problems, she seems to be able to really hack the heat as she’s not even burnt at top, fattening up a bit more now. Overall quite pleased

Last week, start the flushing 3 days ago. From all three ladies took around 5L run off. Now only feeding every 2 days with pH water(6.5), letting the water 24H with the air stone. Ready to go.

Been a good week. Open to suggestions or advice

A pretty uneventful week. I barely even photographed her. She's really due for a nice natural lighting photo sesh, but I really need to be in the mood for it or else the magic just isn't there. She still drinks near a gallon a day. Her leaves are super sticky. She has a nice sweet fragrance which I'm excited about! Now let's get those buds to fatten up! 🍆 💪 🍆💪🍆💪🍆
