7/28/19 --Super happy to see the plants doing this well. Ive found that every other day feeding is the best for these specific plants. Im a big proponent of only watering the plant when it signals it is ready for watering. The least possible amount of induced stress for these plants is the goal for me. Cheese seemed to be totally unaware of the FIM that was done on it, as it showed not even 1 sign of stress post FIM. Cream cookies is another story, she's quite sensitive to absolutely everything--including watering. I am super happy to see that the last fan leave on the 5th node has 9 leaves--a really good sign that the plant is doing extremely well. The more leave nodes on each leave the healthier than plant. There are zero signs of nutrient burn at all. It was difficult at first to see if the slight bending of the leaves was due to nutrient burn, but I later figured out that the leaves were pressing against the side of their pot and as a result bending--wasnt nutrient burn. Ive been varying the pH widely each week--with the attempt to be as random as possible. I want to make as many nutrients available to the plant as absolutely possible. I really am loving the Advanced Nutrients Sensi line. Im growing in coco but I bought the nutrient mix not designed for coco with the understanding there might be some potassium issues down the road. But otherwise as a chemist by profession, when I heard about the pH perfect line I was rightly skeptical. It will balance your solution to the correct pH range (5.6-6) IF you start with dead neutral pH 7.00±0.05 water with no dissolved salts (distilled water). the distilled water I've been buying (from Walmart) clocks in on the pH meter at around 7.6-8.6 which will cause the pH perfect technology to neutralize some of the dissolved ionic species and bring the pH well below safe range for cannabis. Ive found that if you pH the distilled water to 7.00--add your Ca/Mg/Fe, THEN add the pH perfect technology the range will be much more suitable. It was kind of annoying since my pH down is so much more concentrated than my pH up. Me problems I know but still annoying. --One of my amazing collages at work is going to water both babies today with Week 4 nutrient solution even though we are technically in week 5. My vacation has prevented me from mixing the solution to feed. --This vacation has brought so many new automation ideas to coco coir growing. Ive been developing a hypothesis that involves what I call the "level of droop age" and its correlation to plant thirst. It began when I was growing in soil and needed a better way of telling when to feed the plants instead of a fixed schedule, which seemed to be giving way too much water to the plants. ---Ive developed a "droop scale" which can be directly correlated to plant thirst. Ive also found that very happy plants that do not want water will go through a natural droop cycle as night approaches. I take this as the plants time to grow out its root system (happens at night). By the morning the leaves are pointing up in what I call "leaves up loving life" ---So the scale I've developed is kind of arbitrary but it does a really good job imo if you become very familiar with your plants. ---The scale ranges from -10 (the most droop in the leaves every observed) to +10 (the most extreme leaves up loving life ever observed). the scale is out of 10 not 20. ---lets say that you watered your plants today, and their leaves were at a -7/10 droop (what when I water my plants). If you water them you should observe no increase in droop--in other words after watering the droop should only improve not regress. If the droop increases after watering your plants wanted a little more time before their feed--so alter your droop scale until you find the level of droop that when feed causes only an increase in the droop. 6 hours after watering you plant droop should be >+1/10. The next day you should see your plants at least at +5/10 droop. ---Merging this scale with automation is going to be difficult as ill have to use an open source machine learning AI to learn when the plants droop is sufficient enough to justify a watering. I hope to set up the system to be automated or manually operated over the cloud. ---Using a Raspberry pi and an Arduino as well as a whole set of motor control boards and sensor boards I hope to put together an integrated system that can detect when the leave droop reaches critical levels using a camera, and feed accordingly. Ive been all over the internet and all automated grow projects rely on soil moisture sensors which only penetrate <4 inches into the substrate. This doesn't cut it for me as the root ball of the plant is way below that 4 inches of the sensor, yielding readings which only pertain to the top layer of soil, which just so happens to dry out the fastest. ---Im going to keep my grows at 2 plants each from no on--and I plan to make an automated system for both plants which can control watering to both plants individually. Im currently trying to figure out the best way to track volume of water dispensed. A flow meter with a know diameter tubing and a known diaphragm pump rate seems to introduce all sorts of inaccuracies into the mix. I think im going to design an automated measuring system that uses an ultrasonic distance sensor coupled with a camera and AI to fill up a the hopper to the desired volume of nutrient solution. ---I have all the hardware listed but im a complete dumbass when it comes to coding. My profession is chemistry, coding goes right over my head. I have an immense respect for coders as I honestly have no idea how you guys do it. Its like learning 15 different languages at once and using them all together. Blows my the ability of our society. The wide range of skills. Love it. ---If anybody would like to help me code this project it would be greatly appreciated. 7/30/19 -Cream Cookies is doing extremely well. FIM was a great idea. 4 new main cola sites came out of the FIM which im very happy about. The undergrowth also has caught up to the canopy. the canopy has a plethora of bud sites. Defoliation done to increase light to bottom branches. Largest fan leaves towards the canopy removed. FIM'ed leaves that opened up also trimmed, allowing more light to penetrate to those small bud sites. --Ive counted sites where main colas can form. Very happy with this HST I decided to do. --LST done and branches separated from each other so they can receive ample light. Thinking of adding supplementary 40W flowering bulbs for flowering. -Cheese FIM didn't work as intended but it did break the symmetry of the plant. One of the first branches has grown higher than the canopy and I had to tie it down using LST. Did some defoliation and going to do some LST later. --Some light stress spots on Cheese, makes sense since I wasn't physically at my apartment to raise the lamp. Before raising the lamp the plants were 14 inches from the light which is way too close. The closest it should be is 17 inches. Raised the lamp to 18 inches and spots are subsiding. --Being overly cautious ive increased the dose of Ca/Mg/Fe to 4 mL/gal incase spots are actually a Ca/Mg/Fe deficiency from explosive growth. 7/31/19 -Cream Cookies is showing beautiful pre flowers. Still recovering from light stress. Looks very similar to nutrient burn but only present in tip most growth suggesting light burn. 14 inches was way too close-vacation problems lmfao -defoliation done on both cheese and cream cookies to expose bud sites -LST done on both cheese and cream cookies to bring bud sites into the light -both plants fed 400 mL Week 5 nutrient solution-when I mix next weeks nutrient solution im going to reduce the concentration to 12mL/gal w/ 3mL/gal Ca/Mg/Fe. --I want to precent any nutrient burn plus plants are slightly stressed from defoliation and light burn from my vacation. -lamp raised to 19 inches to help aid in stress relief -plants are responding in a weird way to the watering. Not in a bad way-but in a different way--larger lower leaves are not drooping like in the past its just the much newer growth is drooping. Makes sense since newer growth has less developed support system. Makes me feel much better about my watering schedule. --Clawing which I suspected was due to light stress is getting better-especially after a feeding. 8/1/19 --Calcium deficiency just barely showing on midlevel fan leaves. Good thing calcium is a mobile nutrient. Going to readjust the nutrient solution ph to be 6.2-6.3. Been accidentally locking out calcium. --Defoliation done on both plants to expose more bud sites and to thin out the thick canopy so light can penetrate below. The hope is to defoliate correctly. If done right I won't have to lollipop. --Cheese has no preflowers yet--still in veg --Cream cookies looks like it started flowering. 2 preflowers were spotted earlier in the week. Surprised to see how fast the plant moved into flowering. Going to be feeding it with flower nutrients starting week 6. --Going to continue feeding cheese with veg solution until preflowers are observed.

Willkommen 14 Tage in der Blüte, Gorilla Punch Auto: 15.6 - 30,5cm 22.6 - 33,5cm /+3,5cm Mimosa Cake Auto: 15.6 - 46,5cm 22.6 - 50cm /+3,5cm Alter Tobi Auto: 15.6 - 48cm 22.6 - 59cm /+11cm Der Sommer ist da samt Hitze es und wenn die draußen stehen würden müsste sie mit mehr Hitze fertig werden. Es herrschen von 12:00-18:00uhr Dunkelheit mit 23-25C° max 50%RLF 18:00- 23/00:00 Sind es maximal 30C° bei 80% light Leistung von 00:00-08:00 auf 100% Leistung wenn ich unter 30C° bleibe. 40-45%RLF bei Licht an. Das Sorgenkind "Alter Tobi" ist mittlerweile sogar die größte von allen. Bud&Harz Produktion nehmen langsam Fahrt auf. Ich schätze aber mal das Autoflower auch bis zur 3 Woche ihren Strech abgeschlossen haben. Leicht entlaubt und 4 Seiten Triebe LST. Gorilla Punch Auto fängt schon ordentlich es riechen an nach lecker Diesel und Kush. Die Buds schwellen unglaublich schön an sowie wie die Harz Drüsen. Habe eine Woche gewartet bis ich wieder richtig entlaubt habe. Vor und nachher Video hochgeladen wahrscheinlich habe ich was an den Augen aber ich entdecke lila dunkel Punkte auf den Buds hatte schon schiss wegen grauschimmel o.ä. Aber es Buds sind Knüppel fest. Zum Schluss das HARZ MONSTER Mimosa Cake Auto!!!! Ich habe noch nie eine Pflanze gehabt die in der 2 Blüten Woche so vollkommen frostig weiß ist wie andere erst am ende der Blüte🤩😍 Ihr Mimosa typischer Geruch mit schweren Pound Cake abgang. Auch bei ihr nehmen die Buds zu vom Harz ganz zu schweigen^^ Werde den Dünger dosis erstmal so lassen und in Woche 4 nur bissi PK 13/14 . Wachsen gut und nur minimal verbannte Blatt Spitzen.

Origen: Afganistán Tipo: 85% Indica / 15% Sativa Floración: 61-63 días THC: 26% Cosecha: 750-900 g / m2 Altura: 150-200 cm Clasificación:  OG Kush ha sido apreciada como una variedad de marihuana de élite originaria de California, EE. UU. Divine Seeds se complace en representar su propia versión de esta famosa variedad. Divine OG Kush es una potente variedad de tendencia Indica que conserva los conocidos toques de diesel en su olor. Divine OG Kush, que no es la mejor amiga de todos los cultivadores novatos, ha demostrado ser robusta y productiva cuando la cultivan los experimentados. Apto para cultivo tanto en exterior como en interior. Cualquier método de entrenamiento funciona perfectamente con Divine OG Kush: use ScroG, SoG, FIM o topping para aumentar sus rendimientos. Los interiores controlan la altura de sus plantas, de lo contrario, estos arbustos altos podrían quedarse sin espacio. Al cambiar a la floración, el cannabis Divine OG Kush se estira intensamente, a veces casi duplica su tamaño. Esta cepa no es especialmente vulnerable a las plagas de insectos, pero es posible que sus enormes cogollos densamente crezcan y necesiten ser defendidos contra la humedad o el aire húmedo. Además, más allá de la floración, las plantas Divine OG Kush a menudo necesitan apoyos que las ayuden a sostener el gran peso de la cola. El humo de la Divine OG Kush es una experiencia eufórica de 2 a 3 horas con el efecto piedra como la impresión principal, pero también un toque de Sativa notable que genera creatividad, comunicación e ideas alucinantes. Listo para cosechar en exterior a finales de octubre. Más apropiado para uso por la tarde / noche.

well, she spent a week in the growing pot :) it seems the girl was not stressed :) hi, she looks healthy, a bit more leafy, but that's normal, after all, she came from the balcony :D every day I remove a few leaves, because there are a lot of them, she still has a week left and will be cut off: (I would like to give her a little more time, but I'm going on vacation and I don't have anyone to leave such work :) so I'd better cut it earlier :).

Moin gibt nicht viel zu sagen hatte bei einer der octo moms Ph probleme die ich aber mit ner kleinen Spülung beheben konnte und am mittwoch 22.06.22 habe ich die Ladys etwas entblättert damit mehr Licht nach unten eindringen kann sonnst war nix weiter los ausser beobachten Ach ja und ich beschwerte mich nie wieder über schlechtes wetter jetzt is das wetter so gut das ich die Temps in der box kaum noch unter Kontrolle halten kann hatten am Freitag 24.06 knapp 30 Grad in der Wohnung nur mit gefrorenen Wasser Flaschen Könnte ich die Box auf 26,4 Grad runter kühlen noch wärmer aussen Temperaturen und ich hab ein Problem 😢 naja die Woche war okay die Ladys wachsen und Strecken sich läuft also...... Euch allen ein schönes Wochenende cu homies

10/15 This week saw a few snags. Both gorilla zkittlez girls are showing what looks like a Mg def i.e yellowing between veins and green veins themselves. This isn't the first time they've exhibited these symptoms. Currently the heaviest affected leaves are the lowest fan leaves farthest from the light. Aiming to keep it that way. I think it's pH swinging too low. I need to pay more attention to my feeds but sometimes I don't have the time to pH my water as properly as I should. The reason I say it's that and not a deficiency is because they are also showing signs of over feed (yellow leaf tips) only a one half-strength feed did this. There must be plenty of food left in the pot. I'm thinking the flip is gonna come at the end of the week. I'll clean up some lower foliage tomorrow or Sunday and let them grow the rest of the week. 10 weeks seems like a nice round number to me. More pics coming when I do my defoll. 10/16 added some pics and vids

Last week, last round, last ride! What a lovely journey till know. I checked with my microscope the trichomes and are getting at right point cloudy. My pistils are on that 70% mark I rate, and think that just got the timing right before I exit the apartment. I also think that having a few days available I would have go on a little more. Can't wait to harvest!!!😉

FBT2402 had a ph issue, and I got some spots on the leaves. I did not have her solution strong enough, and it jumped up on me. It's fixed now, and stable. Beside that she is starting to stack her colas. Hopefully I get a few ounces from her. Thank you Medic Grow, Fast Buds, and Athena. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g If anyone needs to purchase fastbuds here is a link for my affiliate program https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=60910eaff2419

Harvest day! This is my first autoflower ever and after 66 days this is what I got. Now it's hanging to dry for a dry trim. Definitely not the best, but feeling happy with the outcome. Even with some major feeding mistakes, I managed to finish her. Learned so much. I will update with the final weight and a strain review!

First time grower - Day 3 - Seedling Stage Unknown strain, hopefully its a female Light meter currently reads 101 lux x100 Should I give it more lighting or put it closer to the plant? Using roots organic soil, should I prepare for nutrient feeding after week 1? And if yes, what nutrients should I feed them?
