@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Start of week 4. I have defoliated her and she got water and nutes. She is 20 cm high and have not start to stretch yet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girl has recovered well after my massive defoliation. She is now 24 cm high. Gave her water and nutrition today.

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Raspberry Cough and Candyland are sprinting out in front of the holy punch. They both seem stronger and denser. I’ll do a second run of the holy punch next grow to see if I can get a better outcome!

Beautiful canopy going outta these ladies. Colas and tops galore. Just vibrant ,healthy and full of spunk. Booming through bloom and got there bud structuring well underway. They got treated with Dr zhymes as a preventative. That will basically wrap up their treatments ...possibly once more with lost coast. Upped the pk intake as they are blooming strong now. Gotta keep those engines well fuelled. Response was stellar. Happy happy happy ladies. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Parece que las gorila glue 4 de BSF no van a decepcionarnos.. se empiezan a formar porras centrales bastante grandes y la planta a varias semanas de finalizar empieza a mostrar colores muy llamativos. Si todo sigue asi veremos fotos finales muy bonitas

Another nice, trouble free week. She has responded well to the ramp up in nutes and is looking good now she's been defoliated (again!). Seriously girl would turn into a hedge if left to her own devices. Having to really keep an eye on the humidity and empty the dehumidifier twice a day but it's doing it's job so...... can't complain! Have a merry Christmas all!

This was the Athena blended line nutrition grow. She did well. No major growing issues. She has a pretty flower that is frosty, and sticky. She has a very tropical, and fruity smell. Thank you ILGM, Medic Grow, and Athena. Be sure to check out the other fruity pebbles auto diary I have. The two plants had very different structures. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Had some issues with mildew this week so have been defoliating and spraying with water and h2o2 , added more wind . After three days this has not solved the problem , so had a friend round with his cleanlight uv-c lamp. Hopefully this will clear the problem, caused by bringing the monster Skittles inside from the back garden.

Probably going to start flushing her in about a week, she’s about ready to go!!! Smells like sweet strawberry candy it’s amazing! I got her on a pK only diet currently for this last week, then a 3 day flush then chop!

This little one gallon girl is pushing along nicely. I'm shocked that aside from the yellowing leaves, which I believe was just a bit of a nitrogen deficiency, she seems to be the healthiest of all of my plants. My other 3 autos have had low soil pH issues recently, which has caused a nutrient buildup in my root system, but I think this girl has been blessed with that extra bit of runoff, and from also being watered daily, giving the roots no time to dry out. Loving the structure of these colas though, they're really filling out, and a lot more time to go! Excited to see what she'll bring to the scale :D

Last week in veg!!!!! Can’t believe 7 weeks came that fast! I’m training the HELL out of her, getting her nice and strong. Trimmed some leaves off today and trained even more. The main stem is about a quarter of an inch thick. She’s getting very strong! Can’t wait to flip into flower. Haven’t had any problems knock on wood.

Seit einer Nacht ist die supersüße watermelon zkittlez auf 12 12 rythmus.. Melde mich sobald sie un die Blüte geht. Ach ja bending beendet. Habe die erde gewechselt, musste, waren kaum wurzeln da. Hatte günstige erde genommen. Ab jetzt in bio bizz Light mix Nach 2 Tagen in neuer Erde ist sie merklich gewachsen, sie dehnt sich, spreitzt ihre fächerblãtter und betet die greenception gc4 an. Boah ich liebe es zu growen. Verschiedene Genetiken. Dieselbe Gattung, so verschieden. Barney Farm, White Label, Seedstockers, SensiSeeds, Fast buds. Alles ganja lover. Wurde vor 4 tagen die zeit auf 12 12 umgestellt..
