So my phone died early in the week and I lost all my my update pics. On the plus side, I have a brand new better phone that takes better pics of my ladies. (The only reason to have a phone) - I’m still only giving the girls plain water and letting them use up the last of the nutrients in the leaves. I’d say there’s still ~12 days to harvest for the indica dominate strains and a week or so beyond that for the rest. - I’ll be taking clones in about week with an aero cloner I borrowed from a friend. That, will start a new diary from the beginning. I’ll flower the moms I have now and I will also pop some new seeds for the grow after that one. I’ll be posting more closeups soon.

Day 15 - The start of week 3 and the girls are really taking off, from 1-2 Inches of vertical growth daily. Consuming a good amount of water, almost leaving the bucket empty. lol. Lightly defoliating to keep the bud sites exposed to light, as they get bushy very fast and recovery is only taking a day for them to bounce back. Pretty happy with how things are going right now. Slightly increased the EC by .2 but not enough to burn them.. which is the goal. Grateful for my trolmaster unit as it has made keeping tracking of my parameters much easier and effortless. Day 16- Topping up the res with RO water every two days. Otherwise I'm sure it would be empty! Pistils are showing and the bud sites are very visible. Seeing one pheno with slightly more sativa dominant traits. Luckily I took clones so I can run the best pheno next time around, although all these plants are special. Still going through the flower stretch. Excited for what is to come. Stay tuned for the results. Day 18 - As you can see, the difference is night and day over a period of 2 days they have had an explosion of growth. They were heavily defoliated on day 17 and bounced back within a day. Happy plants preying. Bud sites are forming everywhere now. Not much to report. Until the end of week 3 in a few days. Bring on week 4. Follow my Instagram and YouTube (link in bio)

A big hello to all the cannabis growing gardeners...and all the other visitors that came across my grow journal. This week was very relaxing, i add only PH+ (again ;), Calmag and PowerZyme. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now cannabis smell is overpowering in my grow room I can finally write something about Spider Farmers 6-Inch Inline Fan with Smart Controller and Carbon Filter :) As my grow room gets really stinky at times i always invest in a top shelf carbon filter almost twice the size of the one provided by Spider Farmer, to my shock Spider Farmer carbon filter absorbs the smells wonderfully well. No smell leaks and that just when the fan is running at 5 out of 10 levels of output. The smart controller is something completely new to me, and had a lot of fun experimenting with it during the veg and early flower, when the smell began i needed it to run full time at level 4 or 5 to rid the fragnance. All in all the whole combo is a great deal. If you are not as keen on technology the set without the controller is awesome on it's own. But to have some extra options open, the controller at the device throws at you a ton of settings you can use to optemiase you grow enviornment. The SE 7000 is hanged at 28 cm. over the canopy and runs at 550W. This whole grow's main sponsor is Spider Farmer. You can easily obtain all the great grow equipment we use at: spider-farmer.com A big thank you to Jessie and the whole Spider Farmer crew for supporting me with the newest technological advancements in horticulture. Thanks to them what i do here is possible. Thank you SeedsMafia for giving me the opportunity to try out your stock. seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/moby-dick-feminized.html Plagron did send us their Contest package for the Power Buds competition . Thank you for your visit, please leave a like and hope to see you beck here in about a week.

Gonna be leaving the plants to the auto feeder for a week probably starting this weekend, here’s hoping they make it through that relying on just the water stakes and hempy res. Flowering has definitely started, for the Amnesia especially so, but all the plants are getting along just fine and giving me a nice sea of colas over my grow area. Cheers and best wishes for yall’s croptober!

**UPDATE** So, I’m struggling a little with my humidity. I did just realize that my grow tent had a vent/flap on the side, secured by Velcro. I opened it up, and I hope that it helps decrease the humidity. I also installed a small box fan inside as well, as a temp fix. So, it’s week 4 for my girls, and I’m having fun. I have 3 growing, however one of them are pretty short in comparison to the others. I’ll upload her later. The plants are at 7 inches tall, and it’s additional bud sites growing all over the place. A lot of leaves. I was really on the fence about doing LST, but I’ve watched almost literally everyone’s journals for Six Shooters and a bunch of YouTube videos, and I feel confident I can do it. So I did it. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¾ I only did one so I can compare it with the other that doesn’t have LST, and we will see how it goes. Any advice or feedback is appreciated as usual. I’ve upped my nutrients now for aggressive vegatative growth, using 5 tsp/gal of FloraMicro, FloraBloom, and FloraGro, 1 tsp/gal of CALiMAGic, and 1 tsp/gal of Floralicious Plus. I honestly think that my plants are a little behind in general in comparison to other grows of my strain at week 4 (excluding any hydros). But I also see that some start their journal diff. Some start week 1 with seeds unpopped, some from when rap root appear (me), and some do it once the first pair of leaves sprout. A bunch of variables. But if I get a yield off of them, then it’s a success for me. And I also think now that I’m getting the hang of things, my plants will take off more. The only thing I need to get down now are my watering schedules. Thanks for reading y’all.

Day 56....buds developing nicely....laid off any nutrients for the last week and considering just one more spirulina feeding, then just well-water for the rest of the grow, with no flush....pollution/haze levels high which might effect the plants

4/28 Day 35 I wish this plant was bigger. Could be my fault. Her transition to flower was at such an odd time(3weeks) and that’s when her last feeding was coming to an end but should I give her flower nutes early? Do half an half? Or just wait and then give flower? I waited and I shouldn’t have considering that organic inputs take time to feed your plants. Depending on what you’re using. First time trying Gaia green. I do like the ease of it but it would take some adjustments for me to utilize it best. A month between feeding is too long for my impatient ass and it gives me too long of a commitment to not fuck up. I’m also using roots organics with some other plants and I’m really liking the weekly feedings. It makes more sense than a month. What if I have a strain that’s like 10 week flower? Do I just do another dose at week 7 and 8 and then because it’s ā€œorganic you don’t need to flushā€ thing. Probably over thinking it but yeah here’s my plant yall šŸ˜‚

Plants have responded really well to the drier air...the dehumidifier has transformed them a lot...they were going a pale green as i assume they were intaking moisture through the air rather than the roots with nutrients...they have started to go a nicer green and really putting on some growth now... Some of the stems are going purple, not sure if this is genetics or due to slightly colder lights off temps...the tent drops to 19/20°C when the lights are off...not sure if this is too cold from the 29/30°C on lights on...

I need to learn how to clone better. Half of them died. No skylotus clones survived. ALL of the Terpenado clones are making roots but Space Monkeys didn't make it and half the Herer Hashplants made it. I can pinpoint a couple errors I made: 1.) Didn't sanitize a god damn thing. 2.) Didn't cut the stems at a 45 degree angle. 3.) Put waaayyy to many nutrients in the cloner reservoir. I mean...one the Space Monkeys was just rotting the humidity dome. Terp 3 clone didn't even droop. Terp 2 clone died and Terp 1 made it out as well. I took more cuttings this week and put then in Root Riots. I have a good feeling about them. So good that I think I will flip to flower this week. Terp 2 has developed a powdered milk with strawberry scent when doing a stem rub. The other two are the same. Terp 3 is offensive. I fucked up again when taking a cutting from Terp 1....snipped another top. She's gonna grow like a snake. I am being overzealous with the nitrogen. The leaves are quintessential nitrogen toxicity at this point. Gonna flush for a day or 2 and then flip. Day 39 - Flipped to flower today. Most of them are starting preflower and I tried to identify the sexes. I'm hoping atleast 2 of the Terps are female...we will see though. I really don't wanna build a bunch of male isolation chambers right now.....didn't feed today. They have plenty of nitrogen. Day 40 - I have a skylotus that was germed at the same time as the terps and HE is a male. I hear that males will preflower earlier. I'm going to use this as a reference point and assume that my Terps are females since they haven't sexed yet. Of course...I could be completely wrong. First day of 12/12 and they are thirsty af. Nitrogen ended up not being a problem. I fed them bloom nutrient today to kick start flower. The extra phosphorous should kick em into gear. Day 42 Terp 1: Bright Strawberry Smell, almost no gas undertones. Not sexing yet. Might have issues from vermiculite mixture. Terp 2: Bright berries with strong gas undertones. Earthy funk somewhere in there too. The least bushiest out of all of them but good node spacing. Started off the smallest but picked up good speed later. Kept up with #3 well. Definitely not as hardy as the other terps. Her clones died while Terp 1 and Terp 2's clones feigned death but eventually gave me strong roots. Terp 3: Funky Strawberries. Like...Strawberry Fanta cut with diesel and old Bustelo coffee grinds. No bright berry scent. Makes me gag a little. Growth is superb. Strongest out of all three and a hungry gal to boot. Confirmed female as of about 2 days ago. She's fast, hardy, decent node spacing and gave me her terpene profile a long time ago. Was bigger than my Crem De La Chem of 4 weeks at 2 weeks. Didn't stretch until flower switch. Got a healthy clone of her too. So far she's the winner.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering listed in the grow conditions are averaged for the week. The pH listed in the grow conditions is the soil pH. Nutrients listed in that section are ml/gallon of soil. I didn't include water in grow conditions as it rained almost all week. I watered one time and listed in the daily updates. Day 1 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. Day 2 and 3 we had sunshine and a lite breeze. Day 2 #3 plant succumbed to her injuries, R.I.P 😄 Day 4 we had rain showers I'm the morning and throughout the day. The plants roots appear to have found the ferrous sulfate I added last week šŸ’š Day 5 we had rain in the early morning, drizzle and afternoon showers. I added an additional 50ml of ferrous sulfate top dressed. I also spread just enough peat moss to cover the ferrous sulfate to prevent the rain from splashing it onto plants. Previously the rain splashed granules of ferrous sulfate onto the leaves, burning them. I used 50ml or 2ml/gallon of soil. as I've only got about 25 gallons of soil. I'm waiting to top off after this excessive rain is done. Day 6 we had intermittent rain, drizzle, and mist throughout the day. There's a bug haunting plant #1. I can't find it, so most likely a cricket or grasshopper. It's beed feeding on this plant since day 5. Stakeout for the kill has begun. Good news on day 6. The ferrous sulfate has brought the soil pH down to 6.3. There's still a small phosphorus excess but these girls will grow into it. Day 7 we had rain all morning into the afternoon. Pots are soaked. The insect, I suspect to be a cricket, remains a pest. It ate more of #1 plant on evening of day 5. Despite the adversity these girls are growing. Plants doubled in height this week and overall the week has been a success.

With this being my fourth grow...I’ve realized the best way to germinate cannabis seeds is by sprinkling it in the Grow medium and just watering daily...let seed sink as opposed to letting it soak in water which worked for me before but it takes away the dangers of transferring the seeds from a glass of water to soil. 1 year ago this January I germinated my first grow and I had a good harvest because of the dry season stepping in the Caribbean...I am definitely looking forward to a fine grow with some males and females so I can expand my seed storage.
