Having a battle with my soil ph which is at 7.3 (down from7.8) I have been watering with water in the 4.5- 5 ph range since the soil ph is so high. I am also having nitrogen issues . I stopped feeding a last week. I added a bit of top soil to the plant which might have added more nutrients making it worse. I am going to do s flush and see If things improve.

Here is the update for actual week. The summer hits very hard - since almost 10 days in a row, we have 30°C outside and it was the right decision to set the day phase from 6pm to 6am. cutted down most of the fanleafes today. all trichomes turned opaque so i will start with the first "clear-water-flush" in 2 days and will flush them 4 times on any 3rd day!

I harvested 226 grams of dried and trimmed bud plus a bunch of trim and popcorn buds that I didn’t weigh. Definitely had it's ups and downs with my pet rabbit eating one of my plants in the first few weeks :( One of my girls also didn't make it to the end, I must of overfed her at one point and the stress was too much. This amount of buds though will keep me and my friends happy for a long time though! Thank you to all those that helped with making my first grow a success! I certainly learned a lot & can't wait to do it all again - for now I've been enjoying smoking the buds and making edibles :D It took me a few hours to trim all the buds. I didn't measure the wet weight of the plant as I hung the whole thing up to dry as soon as the lights came off. The roots were plentiful and healthy. Even my girlfriend tried smoking with me for the first time ever and she loved it!!!

The flower keeps on growing! I am excited for the next days. Today was the first day to use some nutrients in my water. I used Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max like advised from Biobizz for Light Mix. I wonder if I should start to remove some of the bigger leafs… any recommendations from you guys? I am counting like at least 15 branches that are all on the same height… awesome!! What an even canopy. Some of the branches are on one side a bit lower though. Happy new year guys!! I just put in the net. I never used one before, as I only have outdoor experience. I am trying to bend down some of the higher branches with the net. Let’s see if it works out. Plant looked very good. But after I used the nutrients the plant looked a little bit more sad :( … maybe also nutrient lockout, because I have quite a big pot and usually with smaller pots I always watered the plant until the water ran out of it on the bottom.

good flowering, everything is stable, a lot of inflorescences appeared this week, next week it is planned to remove the lower leaves. We had to tilt two branches from the middle, as they stretched out very much and there was a risk of burn, we are waiting for 7 weeks!

First week of flowering on a 12/12 cycle with explosive growth. Defoliated lower 7-14 inches of plants and nipped future larf buds. Top dressed with 2tsp of kelp meal this week. Next week will be worm castings (top dressed) and the following week with bloom nutrients. Gave it a good soaking with calmagged water and Mammoth microbials. California Light work's Solar Extreme 250 around 10" above the canopy. All is well! 💚

UPDATE - Saturday 13th March This week has been ok but I need to take it easy on the nutes! Especially with the soil one. Ooohhhhh 😵why did I use soil. It’s really annoying because it’s at weedy little seedling stage and iv obviously over fed it. I added some worm castings to the one on the right in the hempy bucket though , along with ecothrive biosys They should break down fairly quickly given how packed with microbes and micorhyzae to buffer the ph of my hempy buckets to where I need them to be. I don’t even bother with my ph pen now. I’m glad I didn’t spend £69 on one but it would be good to get a decent one at some point. It’s not top of the list though. Grow space number three is looming and this time I actually have the equipment. Only problem is I don’t want to use my old converted wardrobe. It’s too small and pretty pointless. If I’m going to have a tent in my studio flat space where I have to hear the fans or rather the varispeeds hum. I’m very tempted to take the big grow tent out of that room and then paint the walls bright white and just vent the room. Instead of the tent. The ductings already there. Then I could move the bigger tent somewhere else in the flat. The thing is - I started growing to provide me with my medicine,however, I’m in prohibition-land. So far I haven’t had the space to be able to get a monster harvest. My last one was the best so far I think it was 2.5oz between three plants. I have decided to turn it into an auto tent (shout out to fast buds for sponsoring me) They are just so easy. At first I was worried because i thought the lights were on longer but they finish so god dam quick from seed to smoking. I’m f surly sure curing autos must take longer than growing them. That fastberry is coming along nice but It’s such a non bushy plant. Like lanky but in a good way. A lanky green stem with these random bright purple buds on the tops. This is the first grow I’m going to use a proper magnification device when I need to check trichomes. I think iv been harvesting too early. Well actually just last time because I was scared the police were coming. LOONG story. Anyway, I’m looking forward to being able to see those thrich’s get cloudier and cloudier. Will make some nice source photographs for my art also. I nabbed these awesome plant holder uppers that just poke into the soil in the pot and they are round and have sections to put cola’s through. They look really perfect for auto’s final bushy look once trained.

So I have decided too pot up the 3 toronjaz girls into bigger pots, 1 because the older girl needed it but 2 also because I feel they needed space and a new home too stretch their roots out 🌱 The above blend will hopefully help these girls soldier through these first crucial weeks, let's keep our fingers crossed 🤞 I'll be doing light lst over the next week for the older girl, maybe top her end of week 3 maybe 4 depending on how she grows 🌱 Light feeds slow and steady will do as new too aptus buy I hope I can do well with them as they seem really simple too use and also their website has lots of usefull info incase I'm in need 🙏👏👊 These will be tidied up and given this space too their selves once my fastbuds testers in the back there are ready for new pots and their new space I have waiting 🌱

Ripening started way faster than anticipated and I started flushing the other Critical at day 46 and she looks like she might be ready at the end of the week.. BUT I'm going to send her all the way to couchlock heaven so I'll probably chop her at the same as the other one which I reckon will be receiving at least one more full-dose nutrient blast and around two weeks of flush but lets see.. I want her to be close to fully finished but not too many ambers since the other one will be majorly overcooked. Didn't put too much effort on this timelapse since my PC is hiccuping pretty darn hard trying to process the camera RAW files to video if I put some effects on them.. wonder why since I got a pretty solid rig with 5950X and 128GB of DDR4-3866 RAM.. damn shitbucket can't handle somewhere around 1.5-2GBps bitrate video realtime😂

~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.

06.05. Day 57 Blüte 34. ("60-65 Max,") Oh mann. Sieht die gut aus. OK einige alte Blätter werden ledrig hellgrün. Das schreibe ich Ähh dem Alter zu? Solange sie sich nicht ringeln oder Braun werden lasse ich sie dran. Die Knospen sind wunderschön und dick. Der Duft original Alpine Delight. 😇😇😁😂😅 NEIN, DAS HILFT NICHT! I know, allerdings ist der Geruch... Ihre 13.50€ wert. (ein Kompliment) Und das von mir. 08.05 das gesamte Zelt mit Zimt Wasser besprüht. Könnte gegen Spinnmilben helfen. 09.05. Es hilft... Ein zwei Blätter entfernt. 10.04. Die Knospen werden immer dicker.

After you found some good sector and clone it you let the mycelium grow and fill almost all the petri dish like I did last week. So now you're ready to move forward. Making grain spawn!🍄🍄 For grain you can use Organic Rye Berries, but you can also get away with wheat berries, or brown rice or even corn kernels(which I used myself) ! And you'll need some mason jars or honestly I used some jars that I had home just clean them very well and sterilise before using Making a grain spawn can be broken down into 6 easy steps. 🍄Hydrate Grain By Soaking 🍄Make Specialized Lids 🍄Simmer, Drain and Dry The Grain 🍄Sterilize 🍄Put your agar in the jar 🍄Colonize 🍄Soak the grain by placing it in a bucket, covering in water, and leaving it for 12 -24 hours. Easy. 🍄Drill 1 hole on top of the lid. Right in the center and cover with a small dab of high temperature silicone sealant, and leave it overnight to dry. And your jars are done. There other diff types for different methods like liquid culture etc. But I'm just going roughly through what Ive done. 🍄The next step is to simmer the grains on the stove. This will thoroughly hydrate the grains, and will soften them to make them easier for the mushroom mycelium to consume. Cook soaked grain on the stove for about 15 minutes. You don’t want to cook it too long, because eventually all the grain will crack and you’ll get some mushy grain spawn. We don't want that. 🧐After the grains have simmered on a low boil, you’ll need to drain them off. What I did is I drop them in the sink with the drain cover on. The grains will drain over an hour or so, after which you can go ahead and fill your jars. 🍄Once your jars are filled, they need to be sterilised.This kills off all the other nasty contaminants in the grain cover the lids in tinfoil (to prevent water dripping into the lid) and then just pressure sterilise them for about 90 minutes at 15 psi. 🍄After that let them cool down. Get your SAB, wipe down the walls with some alcohol wipes and place the jars inside. And wait untill they will be warm to the touch... not hot and painful 😤patience is key. Bring in your plates that had been stored by you in a dark place. And what u have to do is sterilise your scalpel and just accurately and efficiently decide your mycelium into about 10 pieces and quickly place them in your jar. And complete for every jar u make. You have to be very quick. The more you keep you're jar and your agar plates lids open the more cans they will get contaminated. There certain technics you can see online.. 🍄Ones you're done close all your jars lids tight and Jake your jar so the mycelium pieces will mix around the jar and place them in the dark place to colonize. And just keep waiting... 😅 Untill the mycelium will conquer your grain. Keep your eyes on the jars, any weird smells or colour during the waiting time.. because that would mean you got a contamination going on. Oh yeah and when about 55% of your jar is filled with mycilium shake the sh*t out of it so it will break the mycilium inside and make spread more faster.
