So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

Greetings Fellow Green Thumbs! We are approaching harvest very soon. Within the next week, week and a half tops. Need to monitor the trichomes closely (aiming for at least 50% milky) before I start flushing for 4-5 days (PH'd Filtered Water + FloraKleen) Debating putting up some kind of support to keep the chunky colas from falling over. Keep your joints fat and bowls filled 😆 Stay tuned and stay blessed! Peace 🙏

The Ethos cookies Rbx are going as expected of them:) The Barney's farm Runtz muffin is gone, gave this little fella to a friend. Hope he has more luck with Barney's then me:( The Humboldt seeds Gorilla Breath is almost the size of the cookies. Even though she sprouted 3 days later. And last but not least, the Aficionado French Connection Rosso Corsa. She sprouted 5 Days later then the Cookies but she's catching up. i'm really curious about this strain:) i'll keep you guy's updated

2/1 Week 12! Re-introducing the Peak PK in low dose as I begin to migrate the plant to all Peak and then flush I hope all in less than two weeks. Will step things daily, tomorrow it will be 10 ml CT 10 ml Peak with an eye on the ppm. You get the idea, she has to finish and fast. Valuable lesson, don't have anything ever backed up behind a sativa grow waiting on them to finish, it aint worth it. Grow em at the end of a cycle. 2/2 put the feed at 12ml CT 7ml Peak thought maybe its too much of a swing, tomorrow 10 and 10 2/3 10ml of each this morning. Got to move things along, new plan is to begin flush at start of new week this weekend, At flush changing lights to 12/12 , binding her back up just a little, then placing one of the testers on a stand in the tent to take pressure off the veg tent. 5-7 days later we harvest based on what we see. We cannot come up with anything better As far as growth she is doing great, its a heavy plant and the hairs are still straight and 95% white! Build so fast 2/4 All is well Tara really seems to like the 10-10 dose so leaving it for now. Changed light schedule to match the veg tent. This is to accommodate the near arrival of one of the photos. In a few days the plant will have to finish off at 12-12 so the photo can flip. Not ideal but practical from our point of view. Keeping our hopes up here and uttering my characteristic prayer... Please God dont let me foul this up... Amen 2/5 Feeding as before Had to bind her up a bit, she is so heavy we were afraid of her toppling over. Seriously this plant is TOP HEAVY. Which is good I guess 😬 Not flushing till I see it is time, not messing this one up. Dont get plants like this everyday. 2/7 Ending the week with a full tent again Switched lights to 12-12 and bound her up to fit in half the tent, we literally could not come up with anything else for this. She just keeps going and going lol DRY WEIGHT ON RIPLEY! 261 grams Hoped for more but meh sativas. Still nothing to sneeze at 😇

Slowly slowly catchy monkey 😂 looking good for its final week, pistils are now starting to change colour. Fox tail is still present but not too bad. This week will be the time for the snip following magnesium deficiency and a flush of 0 ppm water via 7 stage filter.

420 Fastbuds I will say without a doubt is my favorite. They've always made the best,most recent strains,and not to mention top notch genetics that are way above par. I've been collecting for some time now about 5yrs total and have finally completed my set of every strain they have come out with.

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/02/19 || To/Hasta: 28/02/19 From day/Desde día: 1 || To day/Hasta día: 7 -----INTRO----- Hi Buds!!, this is my new diary, the first i made while growing, as the other diaries i have were made close or after harvest. This is my second indoor grow, you can check my first indoor grow here (Auto BlueBerry Mazar x4): - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 Also i have a couple of diaries of an outdoor grow series (my first grow experience) that i made this summer, there you will find Lemon Zkittle, Think Big, Auto GlueBerry, Critical + 2.0 Auto, Auto Girl Scout Cookies & Auto Mazar (some are in progress and some are to come), check my user page if you are interested: https://growdiaries.com/grower/abducted. This time i'm going to grow 2 different Feminized Strains, 2 x Gorilla Glue @Dinafem & 2 x Money Maker @StrainHunters, i will make separate diaries as suggested by @GrowDiaries. You can find the Gorilla Diary here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla My expectations inspired by @TOTEM awesome Man-Linning Dr. Grinspoon plant (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/18090-dr-grinspoon-by-totem) are to try to perform a small Man-lining in both plants or in one of them, i'm still guessing. I'n not trying to reach the kind of monster TOTEM has, as i don't have equipment nor even place. Also i want a max 3,5 months grow, so i'm planning 4 or 5 weeks of growing, and my pots are just 8l, but i want to see where i reach with a feminized strain and with the equipment i have, trying to apply technics for first time. I just LST'ed a Lemon Zkittle, but i wasn't a really LST. -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Photo 1: Seeds stocked from summer Video 5: Timelapsed planting non germinated seeds Photo 9: Somangos at back, they've grown almost wild outdoors, tomorrow (02/03/19) i will harvest them. You can see the first weeks of that Somangos in this diary (weeks 1 to 7): https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 Video 16: Timelapsed transplantation -----WEEK SUMMARY----- This week is the setting up medium week, the day 21 (22 already as were 4:40 a.m.) i prepared small pots with soil as seen on images and videos and buried the seeds at about 1 cm deep, in this case 2 Gorillas and 2 Money Makers. After buried i irrigated the pots with 2 syringes of 60 ml on each. And put them under a 50W Led (pink/purple light), you can see the process in video 5. The first gorilla (A.Gorilla) showed itself few minutes past day 23, the day 24 at about 00:00, the second Gorilla (B.Gorilla) emerged the same day 24 at 15:44, the first Money Maker (B. Money) appeared the day 24 between 23:30 & 00:00 and the last money (A.Money) appeared the day 25 at 13:50. The day 28 i transplanted the babies to 8 l pots (Root Poch), you can see the process in video 16. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 22/02/19 - 120 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 24/02/19 - 10 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (over buried seed) 28/02/19 - 1.500 ml with all week nutrients @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (Setting up the 8l pot) *****ESPAÑOL***** **Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 22/02/19 || To/Hasta: 28/02/19 From day/Desde día: 1 || To day/Hasta día: 7 -----INTRO----- ¡Muy buenas compañeros!, este es nuevo diario, el primero que seguiré mientras se desarrolla la plantación, ya que los demás que he escrito lo he hecho con la cosecha a punto o ya realizada. Esta es mi segunda experiencia indoor, podéis ver la primera en este diario (Auto BlueBerry Mazar x4): - https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 También tengo unos cuantos diarios que forman una serie de cultivos correspondientes a lo que he plantado este verano, que ha sido mi primera experiencia. En ellos encontrarás las genéticas Lemon Zkittle, Think Big, Auto GlueBerry, Critical + 2.0 Auto, Auto Girl Scout Cookies y Auto Mazar (unos los estoy desarrollando ahora mismo y otros están por venir), si están interesado visita mi página de GrowDiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/abducted. Esta vez voy a crecer 2 genéticas feminizadas diferentes, 2 Gorilla Glue de @Dinafem y 2 Money Maker de @StrainHunters, haré diarios separados como recomienda @GrowDiaries. Podéis encontrar el diario de las Gorilla aquí: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25675-makingmoney-with-gorilla-mm-vs-gorilla Mis expectativas para este cultivo son introducirme en alguna técnicas de cultivo, inspirado por la increíble Dr.Grinspoon de @TOTEM alineada desde el principio (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/18090-dr-grinspoon-by-totem). Voy a intentar hacer una alineación principal pequeña en una de las plantas o en ambas, aún estoy decidiéndome. Por supuesto no voy a intentar crear un monstruo como el de TOTEM, pues no tengo ni el espacio ni el equipo adecuados, además de que quiero que el cultivo no me sobrepase los 3 meses y medio, por lo que planeo hacer 4 o 5 semanas de crecimiento únicamente, también está el hecho de que mis tiestos son de 8 litros que no es demasiado, por lo que quiero ver hasta donde llego con una genética feminizada y el equipo que tengo, intentando aplicar las técnicas de cultivo principales por primera vez. Este verano le hice LST a una Lemon Zkittle, pero no fue un LST verdadero. -----IMAGENES & VÍDEOS----- Foto 1: Mi stock de semillas desde verano Vídeo 5: plantando las semillas en TimeLapse Foto 9: En el fondo unas Somangos, han crecido medio salvajes en exteriores, mañana (02/03/19) haré la cosecha. Podéis ver las primeras semanas de estas Somangos en las 7 primeras semanas de este diario: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/24700-auto-bbmazar-x-4-1rst-indoor-60-to-90 Vídeo 16: Transplante en TimeLapse -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Esta semana es la de configuración del entorno de cultivo, el día 21 (22 ya pues eran las 4:40 a.m.), preparé unos tiestos pequeños con tierra como se ve en las imágenes y vídeos, y planté las semillas a aproximadamente 1 cm de profundidad, en este caso 2 semillas Gorilla y 2 Money Makers. Después de plantar las semillas regué los tiestos echando 2 jeringas de 60 ml en cada uno. Después dejé los tiestos bajo un foco led de 50W (rosa/morado), podéis ver este proceso en el vídeo 5. la primera Gorilla (A.Gorilla) apareció unos minutos pasado el día 23, el 24 a las 00:00 +/-, la segunda Gorilla (B.Gorilla), salió el mismo día a las 15:44, la primera Money Maker en aparecer (B.Money) apareció también el día 24 entre las 23:30 y las 00:00 y la última que pareció fue la otra money (A.Money) el día 25 a las 13:50 El día 28 transplanté a lso tiestos definitivos de 8l de la marca (Root Poch), podéis ver el proceso en el vídeo 16. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 22/02/19 - 120 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 24/02/19 - 10 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (sobre las semillas) 28/02/19 - 1.500 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales @ 0.4~0.5 E.C.

Fed once this week with a weak feed including top max. I use kombucha vinegar as pH down. Water from my tap is ph6.8-7.0 and 38-42ppm so I might start using calmag supliment as the ppm at my old house used to come out of the tap at ph7. 2 and 200-220ppm. I had 2 plants that didn't like the light at 30000 lux and started bleaching so I took them out. I've defoliated today day 35 as humidity was getting over 80% and also to let light to the lower bud sights. Pre flower pistils showed on some plants around day 33 (some still have none) so I'll consider this the end of veg start of flower. The kalimist indica pheno is still not showing pre flower pistils but is always hard to force flowering when it's not mature for some reason. It's always 7-14 days behind everything else 🤔

Everything is going well this week and the plant looks very happy. Expecting the first true leaves to come in this week. Will feed twice this week with 30ml of Fish Mix each time.
