Trying to dial their veg in. Nutes may be too old or too high. Changed with 4ml CaMg per gallon of RO water. The rest is MaxiGrow. Ever since adding rockwool to the grow, I have struggled. I don't have the dry back timed right yet. I moved my fan to dry the top of the pot surface instead of in the root zone or at the canopy height. After about 10 days I dumped out the rockwool and have replaced with hydroton. My initial though on using rockwool was to give the roots more space during late life stages. My experience has been with hydroton and I notice that the roots eventually get bound because the hydroton is a durable material and will not crush or compact. Rockwool on the other hand will compress when squeezed so I was hoping that in the late life stages the roots would compress the rockwool and make more room in the pots. The issue was dryback. If I used chunks instead of croutons, this may help but the other reason I used them was because I had them here already. If anyone is trying to slow their dryback down, they should consider adding 10% volume of croutons to hold moisture in the medium a bit longer. Notice anything different? They are starting to adapt to their new media. Hopefully by next week I can get them to perk up. One plant has looked better than the other three. I have no idea what these plants need to “perk up”. Possibly a different grower. If a grape terpine wasn’t in the end results I would have culled these long ago. Hopefully they perk up when we get to flower. 3 look ,,,, meh, the fourth is descent. Trimmed all four back down to 12” tall. Flower next week.

The end of week 9. This week was a bit of a struggle due to temperatures. Airco was missing and a replacement was found after a week. The increasing temperatures caused heat stress to all four plants and slowed growth. The buds are now starting to mature and ripen. The fade is starting now. The trichomes are still underdeveloped with 50% cloudy and 50% translucent. EC will be lower again this week. I'm hoping it will be ready before day 80. Check my other diaries for the progress with the other medusa plants.

Rainbow melon was doing so well. Only thing I can think of is the low stress training has made it herm going to give it another day or so just to make sure have never had a herb before, but I’ve never seen Nanners on my plants either and they’re definitely on here will be popping another one tonight. It happens all you can do is start over and hope for the best. ☠️😥😓

I completely changed the water and nutrients this week and added some Canna PK13/14. I have also added another MARS Hydro TW2000 light to the tent to try and get more light to the lower buds. Gave both plants a trim also for the same reason. I was concerned they were still not ready to harvest, but expert advice from FastBuds420 told me they probably needed a further 4 weeks. And I will give them an update and the information they requested. I think it's probably because I had the lights turned down to 25% during the veg stage and only at 50% for the early flowering stage; it was not till recently, about 3 weeks, I think the lights got turned up to 100%.

Day 85 First day of Week 12, day 11 of flower Day 86 Day 12 of flower Watered Plants with 4 gallons of distilled mixed with spring water with 5.3ml/gal of micro, 4.6ml/gal of grow, and 6.0ml/gal of bloom. PH- 6.4@72°F. Plants look good, buds/hairs forming. Really tight node spacing. Day 89 Day 15 of flower, first day of Week 3 of flower Watered with 4 gallons of distilled water with ½tsp/gal of recharge pH-6.6@63°F. Day 91 day 17 of flower Watered with 4 gallons of distilled water with 3ml/gal of "Fish Shit" pH-6.3@70°F. Plant A- 34¼" from the floor, 25¾" from the soil. Plant B- 31¾" from the floor, 22½" from the soil. Plant C- 30¼" from the floor, 21¼" from the soil. Plant D- 34½" from the floor, 25⅜" from the soil.

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 28 NUTRIENTS— Front Row AG Part A 4.2g per gallon Front Row AG Part B 2.8g per gallon Front Row AG SI .5ml per gallon Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon Front Row AG Clean Up .2g per gallon I am not sponsored by Front Row AG. I have purchased the entire lineup of Front Row AG after seeing it on a commercial level with great success…freakin great success! This week everything was transplanted to their final pots. I will change some things next run, but I already had 5 galling fabrics pots so this is where I’m at. I made homemade drip rings out of 1/2 inch tube. Each tube had 1/8 inch holes drilled into the bottom of it. They will be controlled by their own shut off valves individually. This is also because I’m using the last of a bunch of stuff. Some pots are pure coco, some coco/perlite, and 1 pot of promix hp. Because they will all take water at different rates, and I have an automatic water system, shutoff’s will be used to control the amount of water when the pumps turned on. This seems like a lot but I had everything on hand. Next run will be rockwool slabs and double the plants. Lights are only running at 30% 250ppfd at the top of the plants. I will update as much as possible. Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you next week.

pistils start to turn brown maybe 2 more weeks before harvest. some topleaves show calmag issues because i gave too luch bloom booster 2 weeks ago looks wors then it is

Had a great time documenting this grow, despite all the drama going on in my personal life. This is my last diary for a few months while we find a new home, but got all my seeds ready to go as soon as we're settled in. :) Thanks to everyone for all the comments and support. Much love! #girlsgrowtoo0

2022-08-20 Cindarella Jack is Budding up, Plant still looks quite happy and well feeded she drinks around 1l per Day ( its still quite hot in the Daytime) Breeder Information Auto Cinderella Jack is a cross of Cinderella 99 ,Jack Herer and Magnum, giving the strain a high THC level, almost 26%. Also, such genetics give high yields of 400-500 g/m2. The variety has very powerful long-lasting effects. The plant grows in any growing environment,and harvesting occurs in 70-77 days. This strain has a compact structure and an average size. It is easy to trim. The buds are abundantly covered with snow-white trichomes. Auto Cinderella Jack is easy to grow, but you should take care of the humidity level. Aroma and taste this is a mix of pine and herbal flavors, with notes of fruit and citrus. Because of its powerful effect, the strain is recommended for experienced smokers. It gives a body stone and uplifting effects. There is so much information on the website to this Strain https://dutch-passion.com/en/cannabis-seeds/auto-cinderella-jack Genetic (Cinderella 99 X Jack Herer) X Magnum Harvest 400 - 500 g/m² Floweringtime70 - 77days

All round a very good plant to grow , one of them stretched but I lollypopped and topped it late into flower due to outgrowing my tent and she took it well, producing absolutely top quality buds covered in milky thricomes and glistening all over the nuggs. Absolutely frosted. The smell at this point was around 7.8 smelling strong of orange and citrus , the main cola nice and dense, with lots of other colas branching off. Easy strain to grow to this point although I did have a calcium deficiency but it was fairly rectified.

This girl really is coming along beautifully her buds are bulking and she producing more of a smell every day! This week I have been diluting/flushing the reservoir by just adding water at ph 6.2 before I do a full reservoir change for the full flush. Im hoping to see her really bulk up during these last few weeks. Happy growing 🌱

Just Start to trying this week with some grow techniques! Let’s do it 💪😍

Linke Seite Passion Rechte shaman, draußen keine Bedingungen mehr gegeben. Unwetter Sturm hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit dass seit Wochen. Zum Glück gibt es einen Wintergarten. Das Gewächshaus ist inzwischen zu Klein für alle damen. Werde es ordentlich vorbereitet im Frühjahr aufbauen und für die vorzucht nutzen 🐝

Week 5 done and dusted and these girls have started their flowering stage, stoked! This week has been a bit slow growing for them unfortunately, I've been super busy and haven't been tending to them as much as I would have liked. I started the week with an over water and then neglected them for a few days and and they dried right out. They were not looking happy. I then top dressed the girls with Herbi's all natural nutrients, 2.5 tablespoons of bloom and 2.5 of Veg mixed in with 5 tablespoons of Worm castings for each girl and i got back to regular watering. They've sprung back up to life but I can't help but think it's another bit of stunt they didn't need. I've bent this girl over and I'm continuously pulling her head over around the pot, just trying different techniques with each girl. Some light defoliation as well. She's hasn't had the best week but I'm hoping she bounces back soon Hope you had a good week, and thanks for checking in 🙏

In the final week, highly resinous flowers that I cannot wait to sample from the 3 phenos. Had more pics and vids but the site won’t let me upload. Hope everyone has a great week! GHL

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.
