Constant LST on these girls. They are so leggy I'm worried that if I let up the canopies will get out of control. I feel like i'm doing a good job with it thought.
The occasional super cropping is needed and I leaf tuck and even take leaves almost everyday. Doesn't seem to slow em' down.
Lights are at about 75% now. Weather has calmed down so temperature in the tent is consistently below 80F. Happened just in time for mid-flower.
Right before the weather changed I build an exhaust to vent everything outside so controlling the atmosphere is a lot easier and I think it shows.
Switched to bloom nutes towards the end of this week. Miracle Berry Remix IMMEDIATELY perked up and stopping being droopy all the time. CDLC woke up and I'm really happy with her now. Phosphorous is really important once pre-flower begins.
Getting impatient....gonna pop some Double Grapes for the Solo Cup competition.
Lowering my PH to 5.5 - 5.7 to accomodate for any salt build up in the coir since they drink water so quickly. Their response was very good. CDLC loved the drop in PH the most I believe.
I cut my veg nutrients (nitrogen) to half because they aren't in full flower but i'm giving them full doses of the Maxibloom and additives.
I've learned that most chlorosis I am experiencing is a nutrient deficiency. PH and increasing PPM steadily is a MUST to be successful I believe. Potassium is what generally causes the "nutrient burn". You'll catch nitrogen toxicity before any chlorosis and phosphorous is really difficult to give your plant too much of. Especially in flower. I'm gettin' the hang of this....
If anyone could answer me this....Why would you use a feeding schedule when your plant is going to require different nutrients than any other plants? There are too many variable to use a feeding schedule correct?
Really not much to see this week besides the plants bulking up. They are gorgeous...except for the CDLC...she's got some work to do.
Day 49 - Watered with some whacked out PH water today...didn't catch it until it was too late. Mango Smile was dropping by the end of watering...hopefully I didn't stall anyone out. Check out the pheno difference between the two Miracle Berry Remixs.

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9. I started flushing yesterday. With this heat around here they were fairly dry and took a lot of water but there was 5 gallons of run off water in the barrel when I was done flushing.
A few days ago I picked all the dead and crumpled leaves off. there was a 1/2 bucket when I was done.
Plant's #3 and # 1 are finished and could be cut down now but I will flush for 2 weeks more.
Plants #2 and #4 will be finished soon.
Plant #5 is the only plant that will be ready at 10 weeks.
I took some Taster/Tester clippings yesterday. They will be able to tell me which clones I will want to keep and which can go.
I'll talk about me for a bit. At the end of my Purple Paralysis diary I had a swollen tonsil removed and it was sent away to be tested. The test said it was cancerous and the tumor was right up to the edge of the cut so they (the cancer doctors) want to cut more of the area around where the tonsil was and give me radiation to kill the cancer virus. The thing is, I've had 3 tests done: a CAT scan. The one they inject you with radio active isotopes that stick to the cancer and the magnetic imaging test. All tests have showen No Cancer in the upper part of my body. I'm over 60 now and have read about this guy helping people with cancer and said to myself if I ever get cancer I'll try this Rick Simpson Protocol. So I'm on my 2nd batch of RSO. The doctors don't think the cannabis oil will work and still want me to have surgery and radiation but I'm holding my ground and have told them, you get the same rules as I give the dentist. If you can't show me on a test or x-ray what the problem or cavity is I'm not going to let you do anything. With faith and hope I'm putting my life into the cannabis oil treatment. The doctors will see me every 3 months and check my neck for lumps and put a camera down my nose and throat hoping to see something they can cut out and make some big medical bucks (You know the comic The doctor says to the nurse "This will pay for my kids braces") They will consider the cancer dead after 5 years.
Wish me luck. Chuck.

03MAY - woke up to a melted fan. Did a quick fix and hooked my intake fan to it, until I am able to replace that fan. Seems to be working for the time being. Updated pics to follow throughout the week.
04MAY - did a little bit of defoliation, think I did good, still debating on doing more, but I'll wait until she recovers from this one.
05MAY - Woke up late and didn't have time to check water this morning, so they are a little dehydrated, watered them, but other than that seem to be doing ok.

It’s the time....Luke is now ready to finish his training.
He changed location to much bigger and taller tent for his flowering period.
Everything under MarsHydro TS3000 light 💡
Before switching to 12/12 got quick defoliation and transplanted to final 30l pot 🤘
Tomorrow getting his trellis net #
Keep it locked and stay tuned!
😎🤘
Couldn’t resist and managed to put trellis in place before sleep 😎
🚨 —-> second plant (one on left side) is LemonWalker OG as well from DNA Genetics started in same time as Skywalker. There was some issues with it on early veg stages and to be honest I was almost sure she will not make it.....surprise, surprise as you can see recovered to the point where I decided to switch her to flower and see what she will bring 😉
Day6 update
Girls going both strong 💪 We can see first flowers starting to shape.
Second and probably last defoliation today to push all the power into forming tops 🤘
Stay tuned!

Still working on my canopy. I did some defoliation in order to encourage growth at the bud sites and improve circulation. I have 3-4 weeks until her sister is mature enough to flower. I took a gamble and germinated another seed two weeks ago because the one I originally planted with her turned out to be male. I hope it will be mature enough to produce a decent yield. Even though it will only have been growing for 4 weeks. By that time I expect most of the bud sites on the older plant to have grown through the trellis, and I should have a nice even canopy. The second plant will just be grown as is with very little training. I don't want to slow its growth at all.

First week after germination.
Started to use some BioBizz products. (Root Juice, Bio-Heaven, CalMag).
The water I started with is demineralized and has an PPM of 45.
I moved the lamp to 25in (63.5cm) and turned on the lamp intensity to 60%.
I will start Bio Grow + FishMix + Alg-a-mic + acti-vera in week 2 and remove Root Juice
Water + BioBizz:
Day 1 = 1L each plant -->EC 0.270
Day 2 = 500ml each plant -->EC 0.270
Day 3 = 500ml --> EC 0.300
Day 4 = 1L --> EC 0.300
Day 5 = 1L --> EC 0.300 --> lowered the light to 22inches, Added a humidifier to keep it at 55-60%
Day 6 = 1L --> EC 0.300 --> added a second fan, 1 wasn't enough.
Day 7 = 1L --> EC 0.300 --> lowered light to 17in. humidity 55-60c
I am currently watering manually and decided to not use the Autopot, but instead get two water pumps to extract the run-off and feed. Will add pictures when done with the set up.
Lessons learned:
Should feed with 1L water instead of 0.5L since EC runoff is much higher with feeding 500ml.
I think i could have started with the lamp at 25in once i transplanted it in the final pot.

This was a critical week as I transplanted her from the Home Depot ceramic pot to a 3 gal fabric pot, and finally moved into an actual grow tent! Got all of my equipment this week: MarsHydro 24x24x60 grow tent, Spider Farm 1000 LEDs, AC Infinity Cloudline S4 intake fan, iPower 4" Air Carbon Filter/Sock. After I transplanted her, she had mild shock and accidentally broke a stem. Fortunately it was not torn and was able to splint it. Gave 1/2 strength Grow Big. Started LST.

Aug 3: still going strong starting the third week of flowering. I’m putting her in the garage at 9 pm, doing the 730 nm far red light to put plant into dark mode 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So 10+ 2 h is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight or a 26 h day. The far red light definitely works as a bloom booster and helps the plants finish faster when the sun is stronger.
Did morning foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate.
Aug 4: always some defoliation to be done and I took out all the small stuff that was growing into the centre. If I had a longer season I could have left some of these small branches but I want the energy directed toward the prime bud sites. Also removing leaves makes it more stable in the wind. Yet another growing trade-off.
Aug 5: she looks great coming out of the dark garage this morning. Lots of colas with lots of buds 👍👍
Aug 6: added UV lights from AC Infinity. This far north we run out of strong sunlight before it gets too cold in the fall. By adding UV lights, this will make Edmonton in September seem like California in July.
Along with genetics, UV light is the main factor controlling trichome and THC production. Adding UV light for a couple of hours per day centred at peak sun (currently 1:39 pm) should help a lot this far north.
At the other end of the light spectrum, I use Forever Green Indoor (FGI) 730 nm far red light. This is the third season using the far red light as a bloom booster and it definitely works. A few seconds at dusk is all it takes to put the plant into dark mode two hours faster, and is like getting a 26 h day. Bud ripen earlier and therefore under stronger sun. Both of these lights are low power LED used for a few hours (UV) or just a few seconds (far red). Gotta love science and technology when it allows us to figure this kind of out.

I am excited to try out this new gorilla cookies from fastbuds.
I originally started this setup to compete in the solo cup challenge, but I needed something that will be minimal maintainence and doesn't require hand watering. So this is what I ended up with. I will not be entering since I know it will bring controversy, but I am going to follow the rules and treat this grow as if I am competing.
I didn't want to use regular solo cups because last time I had a lot of algae growing in the root zone when I harvested. I opted to use a black light proof cup. These cups were 27 oz originally so I filled them with 16 oz of water, marked the level, then cut them down to 16 oz. I set the drain pipes about an inch from the bottom so they have a little reserve if I have pump or power issues. I know people will see the drains as a way for roots to grow out of the cup but in reality I have to keep the entire pipe free of roots or it will clog and overflow. So I am actually losing a little volume due to this.
I filled the bottom inch or so of the cups with river gravel to stop the perlite from washing into the reservoir.
I am running a 5 gallon reservoir with a small air pump and the plants will be getting irritated 24 hours a day from an aquarium power head pump. I set the system up to be totally self contained and easily portable. It was all built from things I had laying around other than 97¢ for the cups. I will be keeping the feed simple as always feeding maxigro and maxibloom with a couple flower boosters.

Flowering day 37
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey guys :-)
The buds have developed incredibly nicely this week.
The smell is getting more and more extreme :-) .
The whole plant itself looks perfect 👍.
The growth has slowly stopped as the full energy goes into the production of the buds.
This week it was watered 3 times with 1.2 l each (nutrients see table above)
They were individually inspected and checked for their health.
Osmosis water for the coming week was refilled in a 100 l tank 👍.
Have fun reading the diary and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻

Really impressed with this SCHLUX SZ-PT400 light. Done another round of LST really bringing th bud sites to the light. Also been tucking my bug fan leaves, don't believe in trimming autos. Captain Redbeard Seeds are really impressive at this point. Will be top dressing with Coast of Maine lobster compost, as well as worm castings and the OG bloom dust. Happy growing
