UPDATE: Day 2 of week 12 - Friday 6th Nov:
Nutes in today, haven’t really had to do much else, as the girls just seem to be concentrating on fattening up the buds at a nice steady pace.
Oh and this week I’ve finally got a hint of a fruity tropical sweet smell from the buds.. It’s truly lush..
My thoughts are now at when to flush the ladies and how many weeks are left? I’d like to time it all perfectly but as this is my first grow now sure exactly how long they have left! Trichomes are still looking clear and pistils are still mostly white but don’t wanna get caught out and miss the best time to harvest and flush.. Keeping a close 👁️..
UPDATE: Day 4 of week 12 - Sunday 8th Nov:
Nutes in again and all looking good, except for the girl that got really wilted last week, she’s doing ok but no way near as nicely developed as the other 3 girls. She has one main cola that’s taken off more than all the other colas which I think may be partly due to topping not working as well as is did on the other 3 girls, she still has one really thick stem compared to the other 3. However the wilting did really slow her down on top of that 😞..
Apart from that I’m pretty happy, Christmas 🎄 is coming and it looks like I will have my first ever home grown smoke just in time.. 🙏🏼❤️🌱
UPDATE: Day 7 of week 12 - Wednesday 11th Nov:
Nutes in and a small amount of defoliation. Girls weren’t quite ready for a feed yesterday but this morning they were super thirsty and leaves 🍃 were slightly droopy, nothing major but they were all really ready for a drink.
Put an extra 18w 2700k LED strip (from an impulse buy at the beginning of my grow journey) in last night to try and boost bud growth. I think my Viparspectra 300w LED alone wasn’t cutting it. I know it’s only a small increase in watts but the extra 2700k flower lighting for the last week weeks of flower can’t be a bad thing right? .. My DLI was 32 before adding the light so I hope this works positively.
Looking at the girls at around 10 hrs after adding the additional LED and they look great so let’s see what happens..
✌️🏼 & ❤️🍃🌱

Hello Growdiaries 🌱,
sorry for the lack of updates since the switch to flower – work kept me super stressed and I just couldn’t find the time.
The ladies (2× Frosted Guava & 1× White Raspberry Truffle) are now in week 8 of flower and doing well overall. I’ll probably harvest sometime next week.
Since ~5 days I’ve stopped feeding nutrients, just giving plain water. Tomorrow will be the last watering, and then I plan to turn off the lights next Tuesday and harvest on Wednesday/Thursday.
Both Frosted Guavas are looking beautiful – one of them even showing a bit of purple. The plant on the right struggled a bit during flower, but the other one is stacking some gorgeous rock-hard buds. The White Raspberry Truffle is also looking very nice and frosty.
I’m planning to run both strains again for my next grow. Once I harvest there will be another update, and after drying & curing I’ll post a final update with a smoke report.
Happy growing everyone ✌️

Co2 block gave a bump in her stocks , it took up the nutrients pretty well .
Had a bit of a calcium deficiency but it was taken care of in the previous week , as Humidity levels were 95% outside coz of rains , even though it looks majestic..

Both were growing like absolute champs!
I decided to top really early. i follow basementganjas rules, i will only top autos if they grow like champs, trunksize 3mm, 99% healthy, sidenodes have substantial grow, and are between days 12-16. i topped these on day 12, mainly because at the rate they were growing, i feared they were to put too much time and energy into the top nodes i planned on removing. Also, it would be interesting to see how they handled it. AND BOY, handled it, they did!
The 600 ml Dosage of water and nutes from Day 6 lasted all the way to Day 11.
On Day 11, i added 1 ml/L of Bio Grow from Biobizz and watered both of them with 1 Liter of tapwater, ph'd down to between 6,2 - 6.3.
As mentioned, even though the sidenodes were a tad small for my likings, they did not seem to care. see next week for the further progress!

So I had a little less nutrient last week then i needed. Def a calcium deficiency. I think it's clearing up but this plant has spot all over it. I changed the water, gave it the right amount of nutrients and a little exra hydrated lime for calcium. Hydro is hard. I hoping It's not sick. I hope It doesn't get the other plants sick. Just a few weeks left.

I RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE WITH MY WATER SOURCE.. I USE RAIN WATER AND IT DIDNT RAIN FOR OVER A MONTH SO I USED RAIN FROM LAST YEAR THAT I HAVE IN RAIN BARRELS AND IT IS SHIT NOW. I HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH ALMOST EVERY PLANT BUT IT FINALLY RAINED HERE AND IT MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. ITS ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS AND ALMOST EVERY PLANT IS STARTING TO GREEN UP AND LOOK BETTER SO IM HOPING ITS MY FIX
SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS😪😢😭
FINALLY STARTING ANOTHER GROW. MY BACK HAS BEEN FUCKED FOR MONTHS. CANT WAIT!!!! IM DOING 24 AUTOFLOWERS FOR THIS GROW AND IN 5 WEEKS IM STARTING ABOUT 20 FEMINISED PHOTOPERIODS IN MY 5X5 WITH A TSW2000 SO THEY CAN BE READY TO MOVE INTO THE 8X8 TENT AFTER THE AUTOFLOWERS ARE FINISHED. HOPE MY TIMING IS GOOD🤞🤞🤞🤞 LOL
STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS.
CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

Welcome!
Week 7 flower!
I'm dying in anticipation.
Part of me just wants to stare at it forever, because I'm pretty sure the color will get darker when its dried
Pistols are turning orange top, so getting closer.
I took a few videos this time. One shows the Mars Hydro lights, and my tents I'm using.
The other is the best I could do to capture the beauty of this plant. I wish I had a tent full of only her.
I cut way back on nutes, I only plan to feed one more time and will be checking the trichome color next week.
Overall I'm super happy 😄
If you have some colorful grows going let me know and I will check it out
Thanks for checking out my med grow, see you on week 8. Follow and subscribe if you like my content and want more
Peace

What can I say, this week is going great. The plants are growing flat taps. The heads are slowly but surely fattening up and it starting to get smelly. The liberty haze in particular is a smell queen🤩 it has this insane bubblegum/fruity smell to it.. let's just say I'm starting to fall in love 😍 the tangerine dream on the bottom left is just growing like a absolutely machine and has a nice citrus smell coming through. And its growth has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Looks like it's going to hit the roof if it doesn't slow down🤣The stocky little blue dream #2 is starting to pack on some serious bud size for its age.. the plants not a fan of vertical growth but it looks like it will make up with bud size and structure 👌
Everything has been super mellow, I'm watering at the same PH the only thing added was some humic acid and fish emulsion for a bit of a booster. But otherwise letting them do their thing🤙

Week 3 Day 1: whew! I feel like we catching our stride! Last week was a battle with the numbers. The AC infinity Vegetative recipe had my devices all over the place (like my lights refused to come on and go off on schedule as they had been).
Thennnn once I got the schedule together the humidity starting rising like a MFer! I think the rain last week contributed to it and of course it’s summer so that doesn’t help. I broke and got a dehumidifier on Facebook marketplace and now the humidity is under control, but the temps are up to 85 during the day sometimes! I opened two vents, so I’m hoping this balances it all out. Will start LST, and feeding later this week.. early next week!
Week 3 Day 5: Well, well, well.. things are looking manageable and for that I am grateful. Humidity is still higher than desired.. humidifier is working.. but it’s not pumping the water out into my drain hole. I’m on vacation for the weekend, and washed clothes before I left and it jumped up again. So I’m hoping it continues to drop, because we did notice some powdery mildew. We think it’s due to the large number of plants in this 3x3 tent.. but we cut that off and spread them out and moved the fans and are hoping for the best. Plants have been topped and are ready to get started with low stress training and will be moved up to 5 gallon pots. That’s all folks, signing off.. almost one month in!
Big ole buds
PS - Big shout out to Good Hope Hydroponics for supporting me all throughout my grow! I wouldn’t have nearly as much confidence in the information I’ve got so far without them. Thanks as well for the Microbial Mass Pro!! We will figure out how we want to incorporate this into our grow for some testing soon!!

Alright! This week is finally done and this will be the last vegetative growth week for the plants. Switching to flower tonight :D
I have done some defoliation and a bit of lollipopping to the 3 plants, I was noticing the shadows where quite dark on the tent floor and the plants where not crazy tall so they needed to be managed, If I was outdoors I would just LST them some more and not worry about any of it but indoors the airflow is tight and it was needed, cleaning up the undercanopy was none negotiable or some bad things would have happened in flower. Mainly molds or worse WPM. I also removed the string supports I has on the plants when they broke from some LST I did a few weeks ago.
In the stripping down of the plants I removed a lot of lower immature growths and took out some immature branches, I have all these sitting in a glass of water and will clone them out for shits and giggles, I think their is about 15 of them or more, maybe I will go and plant them aorund my neighbourhood in municipal planters. Plus now I can work in the topdressings that will be required in the upcoming weeks to keep these plants happy and healthy. Going to continue amending in some of the bokashi in the feedings as well as worm castings as they give off a nice ammount of microbes for the soil. I wish I had some of my LABs for this grow but I did not make any.
The clones from before are doing fine, just did not take any pics of them.
The butterwort is doing a fantastic job of eating up the gnats. I have some nematodes on hand for when its had its fill as I won't want them getting into the flowers as they ripening.
Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.
