These Genetics are very recommendable. They were growing Vigor, and needed no big Montitoring. Great for Outdoor// guerilla Outdoor I think the Outcome is good to . iam Guessing for 50-65 G per Plant They got in Flower 2 NPK feedings, But every Day Beneficals, and i enriched my Soilmix with Microbacteria After Outdoor Weather turned not so optimal, they were 3 Days under the LED_Light. They ripened here very fast, so I could Harvest them Today SMOKINGREPORT: a little skunky, gassy but not tooo hard of it... i vaped it ansdit tasted well. Effects: Its agood Hybrid between Indica and some Sativa energy. So you can smoke it in the daytime.... and still function properly... and in the evening it helps you to relax. A good Composition!!!!!! : : : Thank you @ Doctor´s Choice for the Genetics

Just feeding the botanicare pure blend pro grow now , her soil ppm has been pretty steady on the one lady. he lighter color bigger girl has been super hungry . She's gonna be a monster the nodes swelled up to support some monster branches. Can't wait to see how they fill out. Gotta water them later so I'll snap some photos of the stalk and limbs just to show how bulky they have gotten. But they are looking great , been stupid easy so far just keeping the soul free of salt building up aswell as trying my best to not over fertilize .. (nitrogen is pretty high I've noticed the darker green on the other girls. Besides the smaller plant it's PH is low from the automatic watering thing im trying out) Really trying to get more time so I could be alil more detailed. New growers ask about my water routine but it's hard for me to explain atm . Gonna work on it and see of I can do these any better. If ur reading these and have any kind of input please comment and let me know. I'm always looking for constructive criticism/ feedback.. But I appreciate anyone's time checking my mess out lol. Week 7 underway getting closer to seeing these girls finish !!

D60. I'm back again after being out of town for six days. The tent was packed when I opened it! The girls had stretched more, and a couple of leaves were even touching the lights and had gotten burnt. They are now 125 cm tall. That's five times the height they were when I flipped to flower. Five times!!! I have never had a strain stretch this much, and I hope they are done now since there's no more room in the tent. I removed the fan and carbon filer and placed them outside the tent. It looks a bit stupid and is far from stealthy, but what to do? I moved up the lights as far as possible, but I will probably switch the lights with the one I have in my autotent. That light has a much lower profile, so raising it even further is possible. Should that not be enough, I will have to cut off some tops, but I hope it doesn't come to that. The first girl already has dark purple flowers, while the second looks more green with some purple. ------------------------------ D61. I opened the tent today, only to find that the second girl had stretched another 2 cm overnight! This is getting ridiculous, and I hope they stop soon. I super-cropped the tallest top, hoping it would slow down the stretch. A few hours later, she had already recovered. These genetics are nuts! In other news, my girlfriend found spider mites on her papaya plants that are in the same room as my tents. We immediately removed the plants from the room, and I started to scout my plants for an infestation. The good news is that I didn't find any spider mites. However, the bad news is that I found thrips on the lower leaves of the second girl. Ugh! I had thrips last grow season, and I guess some survived. The thrips were only on the lower part of the plant, so I defoliated the girls by removing a bunch of leaves and tiny branches down low and immediately threw them out of the apartment. Thrips don't like it humid, and since the buds are still tiny, I don't need to worry about botrytis yet, so I cranked up the humidity into the high 70s to low 80s. Finally, I ordered a bunch of lacewing larvae that will get here next week. They should eat the thrips and any spider mites that I might not have been able to find. ------------------------------ D63. The girls have slowed their stretch, BUT they are still stretching somewhat. I freaked out when I opened the tent today and saw they were taller, so I attacked them immediately and super-cropped the highest tops. I will switch out the lights next week, gaining me another few centimeters, which I hope will be enough. The VPD in the tent is way off, but I'm more interested in figuring out the light and getting rid of the thrips. Finally, I watered each girl with 2.5 liters of water L pH 6.1, with 10 ml humic acid and 5 ml Fermented Fruit Juice I made a few months ago. ------------------------------

This week its been showing signs of nitrogen deficiency and possible anginess of transplanting to a 6in pot. I think the last fertilizer solution experienced some nutrient lock as i just learned about how nutrients will leach away when introduced to another particular solution in a certain order. I am using Tap water but last time i introduced my bloom nutrients first and then my cal mag and it started to bubble? This time i did it the other way around so we will see how it goes.

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

Not much to report for week 5, the introduction of the Co2 is a success, the Northern Lights Auto are enjoying life and showing early signs of blooming. One of the 3 plants is growing so much faster and bulkier than the other 2 the fan leaves of this particular plant are huge the stems and branches are growing thick and strong the only training these gils are getting is defoliation and LST. Stay Lit Folks 😎👩‍🌾🏻

We are back after a little pause. We take a break because we were too busy to post high quality diaries. In the last diaries we tried to post as good as possible and we have to publish about 6 or 8 diaries (in addition to these that we will publish shortly). We opened also an educational Instagram page, we growed a lot in a short amount of time BUT, Instagram suspended our account and we lost all our posts, I was so sad and disappointed... a lot of work lost in a night.... Now we started a new grow with six awesome strains!!!!! In this diary you will see our journey with White Russian by our friends Seeds Mafia, sit down and enjoy the show! We are growing in a 15L Smart Pot with Light Mix soil by BioBizz White Russian Feminized was obtained by crossing the AK-47 and White Widow varieties, it has a very short flowering period of 55-65 days. It is especially recommended for outdoor cultivation, such as France and Spain, although it may also adapt to indoors and greenhouses. The harvest flavor is relatively intense during the growth and flowering period. These seeds give excellent plants, both as appearance and effect. The plant has a medium height, it is robust, thick and dense, with flowers full of resin (the crystals occur about 5 weeks after flowering). Having a 22% THC content, White Russian is one of the most popular and potent marijuana varieties. As a result, this strain has a very strong, intense, lasting and rather mind effect 💸💸💸💸💸 Here you can buy seeds of this top shelf strain: https://seedsmafia.com/en/feminized-cannabis-seeds/white-russian-feminized-.html _____________________________________________________________________ 🔧💡OUR SET UP💡🔧 ✔️ 💲💲💲VIPARSPECTRA 🚀🚀🚀🌕🌕 ViparSpectra®️ XS2000 240W Infrared Full Spectrum LED Grow Light: Excellent ratio between wattage and ppfd, excellent light penetraton, perfect light spectrum (it also has IR 🤩) and it has the best build quality on the market.

7/31/2018 Wow 2 weeks since update?hmm. Well #1 is in training still getting Wide, about 36 sq feet..6x6 area, tops starting to stretch, I think. Feeding Tomato 🍅 tone 3-4-6 maybe a slight boost of high p guano to help transition to flowering in next week or two, we'll be at 10hours of dark. And flowering will commence.👍 08/04/2018 Pre flower starting,post some pics soon. Got the little booster i mentioned above it is Fox farms big bloom as I said a slight boost. #5 is definitely different from other plants, she is super stinky and sticky as hell, when stripping leaves. Took 3 clones for future testing.

~Week 6/ 36-42 days from sprout ~Overall: ~VPD: Given up but keeping it decent. Growing in cold basement so having high humidity in the room is a no-no ~Plants DLI increased closer to 45 for these last few weeks of veg. Will close out around 50 next week, and then drop before flower. ~First top-dress end of next week ~Watering as needed, about every 5-6 days. Plants should be watered on the 18th. That will be 5 days since last watering. Might push it to the 19th though because with drop of temps means plants metabolism slows and they use less water. Day 36 notes: Looking great. Soil still very moist. Looking to water on day 39. Also increased the DLI closer to 45, and I want to push it to 50 closer to the flip to flower. Other than that training continues. Did some more super cropping and leaf tucking. Also my clones are not looking good. This is understandable as the temp and humidity has dropped considerably. Will watch them the next couple days and if none of them shoot roots then they will be outta here. I have a small tent specifically for clones coming the 20th, in 4 days. Day 37 notes: Did a lot of training today. My hope is to fill out most of the tent, if I have to have empty space I want it to be less than 8x8 inches. Grow is going well otherwise. Will be feeding on the 19th if all goes as planned. Some more red on the stems and petioles but it is still minor. Quite a bit of super cropping today. Also temps are all around and VPD is kind of screwed over right now. Also the plants smell really fruity now and smell a bit gassy. Smell really coming on strong. Also, even though they are not yet flowering, my hands were sticky today after handling them for LST, super cropping, and leaf tucking. Temp has been all over the place the past few days. Need to get it under control. Would prefer the conditions to stay at around 80F 60RH or 85F and 70RH. Not possible with my current setup though. 2-4 days until next watering. Soil was still quite moist today. Day 38 notes: Looking good today. Did not do anything but peek my head into the tent and take some pictures. Temps are doing well, and I tried to get humidity up. Currently at 80F/39RH. I would prefer 80F/60RH. Will water tomorrow or the day after depending on what I see when I go check them tomorrow. Still no roots on the clones, but there are some very small what looks like the start of roots. I am going to let the clones sit in the cloner until they die or I need to clean the cloner for my real clones. Day 39 notes: Maybe one of the most expected days so far. Expected to water the plants day 40, but they desperately needed water today. My blueberry plant also started peeling away from the main stem at 2 nodes. I am guessing my training was a bit too tight. The training was initially fine, but after the plants grew a bit more the ties were no longer at the tip, this caused the point of pressure to change and essentially ripped the plant apart at the seams. I need to keep this in mind next time. I did reattach the branch that had fallen off, but I do not know if it will live. If not, then I will actually use that branch for clones. Speaking of clones, all of mine are dead lol. Basically my high-ass forgot to turn the cloner back on after checking for roots. It was off for 24 whole hours. Came back today and clones are dead. Anyways its cool. I am going to throw these clones out, set up my new cloning tent, and after cleaning my cloner I will start a new batch of clones. The Blue Cheese in the front of the tent smells like straight dead skunk dumped in the tent lol. No matter what Ill be keeping some clones of that plant, at least for the smell alone. Not much to add otherwise. Next time I have to water I will readjust the LST ties. Day 40 notes: Great day today. All of the plants have recovered well from lack of water. Will be watering them in 3-4 days again. At this point, the plants are big enough to switch to flower, but I want to try to wait another 20 days. In 2 weeks I am going to defoliate and take off any of the lower growth. It is at this time that I will go ahead and take some new clones. I disposed of the dead clones today after checking for roots. 4/14 ended up rooting. That's actually pretty nice given the fact that they were in hellish conditions. Clones would like 80F/60-80%RH. These clones were at 80F/30RH. I could have technically saved the 4 that rooted, but they would not have had the vigor that they should have. Also temps have been kind of way off again. Today it was in the opposite direction. Earlier was too hot and not humid enough. Today, the tent was too cold and too humid lol. I'll keep watching it but the plants are mainly very healthy. My cloning tent also arrived today and I got it setup and installed a light in there. Day 41 notes: All good today. These plants are growing like a weed lol. The smell is intense now. Smells like a tent in flower. VPD was pretty good yesterday at 77F and 60RH and its the same way today. Will be taking clones in 12 days, and flipping to flower in 19 days. I am pretty excited because these plants are looking great so far. Day 42 notes: Did not do much today. A bit of leaf tucking, but that's it. Will be watering either tomorrow, or the day after. Soil is still pretty moist about an inch down. Also taped the injured branch on the blueberry, and removed all of the ties from it. I will be doing some more training in a couple of days when I water. Plants have a very strong smell overall. I am definitely excited to flip these babies into flower and start weaving them through the trellis net about 1 week after I flip them. End of week summary: Overall was a great week. There were a couple of interesting things I ran into this week but nothing wrong with the plants. These plants are gonna be beasts by the time I flip to flower. Also fimming on the Blue Cheese in the front definitely did not work. I have heard that it is not always successful. Misc. comments: DLI meter malfunctioning. Will just eyeball it from now on. If plants seem stressed then I will lessen the intensity. Want to run a batch of 5 Blue cheese clones next time. Could also do the blueberry which has responded great to training. Need to get a couple of clip on fans to improve my air circulation. Investing in a better trellis net would also be wise. Going to wait to do all that until I start my raised bed cannabis garden next year in my 4x4 and 3x3 tents. I will likely also purchase either a 4x4, or a 5x5 specifically for drying plants. I would also then need to get a filter, intake and outtake, and a couple of clip on fans. Humidifier and dehumidifier I pretty much already have. I would also like my grow area to be built in a way that I can very easily maintain proper VPD.

Week 6! Day 44: 2L (PH6.3) + half-dose 4-1.5-4 + 1ml/L CalMag Today. I learned that with half strength Bloom Feed and a dose of CalMag Pro, the PH of the solution ends up at exactly 6.3 - this means that most of my watering of last grow was too acidic because I often still added PH- Nonetheless, while checking up on the NLA I noticed her symptoms progressing and I did what any self respecting grower would do: remove the evidence. Coincidentally, I've removed most of the damaged leaves to make checking up on her easier and to more easily figure out whether she's improving or deteriorating. Additional thoughts: While inspecting the pictures again, I noticed that perhaps some of the damage might be a pointer towards the phosphorus toxicity theory, caused by the premature PK13-14 feed, and the additional feed of last week. That said, perhaps it's a convenience that the Pokon bloom feed does not contain that much phosphorus relatively - and since it's an organic nutrient it will not immediately raise phosphorus levels even higher. Hence, this week will mostly be focused on monitoring her symptoms, while the buds are steadily thickening up. Day 46: Moist, no water. Her symptoms are progressing, I noticed that some of the leaves have a tighter gradient from green at the stem, to yellow about half way the leaf. What this means? I have no idea, I'd like to think it's a response to the fresh supply of Nitrogen from the bloom feed. However, it's just as likely that this tighter gradient went unnoticed until now. She's got some pretty rough nute burn, so I think the best course of action is to stop feeding her entirely for now. I'm quite certain that, with the PK13-14 and the organic bloom feed, she'll have enough nutrients for the coming period. Buds are thickening up nicely though. Her terpenes are starting to develop and I can see more and more trichomes appearing. Day 48: 2L (6.3PH) Her symptoms progressed even further, I'm not worried though. I removed more leaves from the lower, shaded area. Day 50: Moist, no water She seems to have stabilised, I have added two sets photos of leaves. One set of day 48, one set of the current day: 50. And with that, week 6 comes to a conclusion. Her symptoms indeed have stabilised while her buds have noticeably put on mass. For week 7, I expect to just water and monitor her growth.

Not much to report, a little defoliation covering any bud sights, havent started flushing just yet. Had some humidity spikes because of electricity going out (load shedding) but seem to be okay😇

Gu Guys, she is continuing to develop as she should, however doesn't seem to be stretching all to much even with lower light intensities. I have therefore decided to push the ppfd to roughly 600 and let her finish her pre flower, no matter if she will fill the entire scrog or not. the roots are bit stained, however, this seems to be nutrient related, no slime or smelly roots thus far and it seems like she is constantly shooting out new ones from the net pot. She is going to be a nice little bonsai bush :)
