Lost my notebook with all my notes on this grow. All I have are the pics which I'll post. The dates of the pics may not correspond with the weeks in the diary. Keep up to date if you are going to keep a diary online and keep a written one. I definitely learned my lesson. Several weeks of notes on 5 different strains lost. Well enjoy the pics at least.

Moved the whole veg tent into the flower tent😍 Done the final flush on the 2 plants in the front of the tent, should have them cut down in the next 3 days to make some more room for the rest of the ladies! Everything seems to be going good so far! Fingers crossed for harvest & cure!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

Día 21/9/20 día 15 de floración Buenas hermanos, hoy añadimos un nuevo producto de la gama Cyco. Cyco kleanse que se encargará de eliminar exceso de sales en el sustrato si los hubiera. Una nueva ayuda para lograr una gran floración en estas nenas. Día 23 /9/20 día 17 de floración Buenas. Todo avanza correctamente, las temperaturas siguen bajando y ya están entre 22 y 24 grados,casi lo ideal. Por otro lado seguíos manteniendo la ec a 1,3 aprox aunque en breve la aumentaremos y el ph sigue entre 6 y 6,2. Las nenas se están portando como campeonas y afrontan muy bien la floración aunque tb ayuda tener las luminarias trabajando al 100%, 1030w en total.deja tu like y síguenos si te gusta el diario!! Día 25/9/20 día 19 de floración Amanece un nuevo día y las peques estas radiantes. Las hojas se multiplican día a día por lo que en breve habré que hacer una nueva defoliación. Sus pequeñas flores crecen día a día a un ritmo muy rápido y al mismo tiempo su aroma se multiplica. Es cuanto a la alimentación seguimos sin cambios y la temperatura y humedad se mantienen como en los días anteriores. Día 27/9/20 día 21 de floración Hoy nos ha tocado hacer una nueva defoliación para permitir El Paso de la luz. También aprovechamos para vaciar el tanque de nutrientes y hacer una limpieza, después volvemos a preparar la solución con 1.45 de ec y 6 de ph. Las temperaturas se mantienen entre 22 y 24 grados. Si todo sigue así en breve veremos un buen engorde de nuestras flores, no te lo pierdas!

Sorry for the late update, everyone. Thank you for checking out the garden. This lady has absolutely exploded! I am anxious to see how her buds stack up over the coming weeks. She has been drinking and feeding so much lately that I went ahead and bumped her up to 75% nutes instead of just 50%. We will see soon how she handles them. I was getting crazy pH swings (down to 4.4) because of how heavy she had been feeding. With the tap water I have, the new nutes measure about 850-900 ppm, but tap is about 200, so ~700 ppm of actual nutes. Feel free to hit me up with any comments or questions. 11/21 - Uploaded video showing canopy density and frequency of bud-sites. This lady was only topped once. 11/22 - Uploaded new shots of canopy (48 hours after bumping ppms) Thanks for stopping by the garden, and , as always, Happy Growing!

The 3 leaf Snak plant is doing very well. Once I transplant into the one gallon fabric pot the plants seem to start growing a little faster,

Okay, so the plants were still in seedling stage only thing I changed was the environment that I have placed them to the grow tent. They started growing faster and from the 2nd week, I started watering with 30ml water 2 times a day in the morning and in the evening, so one plant gets 15 ml 2 times approximately 12 hours difference the first 3 days and then 100ml (50ml morning, 50ml at night) so 25 ml/plant 2 times a day in the next 4 days. I also used the trigger spray to keep the soil moist and the humidity high as the seedling stage requires. No ventilation yet. No fertilization. It looks they feel okay, so far everything is alright. :)

Ok so another frustrating week! So this week I re potted her and moved her into "the big house" under new lights (GN Telos 0010) set at 70cm from canopy and perfect environment controlled by temp and humidity equipment. Now because of the cal mag deficiency I buffered the coco 2 times in an 8 hour soak in 150% calmag solution ph'd to 6.1 prior to transfer. Then after draining and getting to the correct temp I moved her to the new pot and topped with a light A+B feed. A day later I fed with the nutrients listed which includes 1ml/L of calmag and again the same the following day. Run off ph is spot on at 6.2-6.4ph, although it was 6.6 when I checked today and growth is great but this damn limegreen cal mag deficiency seems to be continuing. At this point I am hoping it's damage already done that didn't show when the leaves were young. The bottom leaves dont seem to be getting worse and some of the reddening on the stems has gone so fingers crossed this next week will see a change in green because I'm out of ideas, apart from making a foliar mix and trying that I'm stumped! The only thing I can think of is a flush incase of a nutrient lock out but I cant see that being the case as her nutes have been light. Even now with all the nutes she is getting the EC is only at 1.4. Thanks for reading, any comments/tips welcome as always. Happy growing!

Week full of stretch! Good day lovely people ✌️ Ms Purple spend the week reaching for the stars. We are now entering the bulking phase of our journey and our lady is smelling wonderful ( some banana with a hint of lemon) love it ❤️ She is drinking more, and I’m making sure to water to full full saturation when about 3 cm of my top soil gets dry. Can’t wait for the coming weeks. Let’s go

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

I am very happy with the harvest @21% wet to dry that pretty strong for me, the buds were in the tent for 10 days, the long slow drying process has really paid off. The buds were solid and frosty, this strain was very easy to grow, and like I said Original Sensible Seeds do not disappoint, I have a few more strains by them and cant wait to get them started!

Buds are packing on weight pretty good for only being at the end of week 3. I think these buds have potential to get some good size to them by the end of flowering period. I noticed a few days ago my timer stopped working, lights were stuck on. Looks like there's no ill effects yet though despite worrying about them revegging if they were left on for too long. Noticed leaf tips are all nute burned so they are at their maximum for ppm as far as nutrient uptake is concerned. Going to back the ppm off by 250 in the next feeds and continue to observe the leaf tips. Plants are still recovering from a nute lockout that caused a mg deficiency and took away a lot of bottom growth from all 4 plants. Ph is back on track and plants are growing rapidly again. Stay blessed and happy growing 😎

She's still "clawing" a little but the new growth looks to be normal..we've raised the LED a few inches to accommodate her size..she's touching each side of the tent at this point..we removed a few of the more burned and curled leaves so we can better track new growth..we think her flowering stretch is over (or at least very close), bud sites are forming fast and with really great spacing ..not too much else to report at the moment, thanks for dropping by and my husband and I thank you @Seedsman for selecting us in your 420 contest , you guys rock! 🤘🐱...much love everyone and for my U.S Growmies, have a safe Memorial Day weekend! ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

In the video you can see quite well how much work the defoliation of Mrs. Jealousy has been. I had to graze so many nodes and internodes, really gigantic, these genetics. We'll see how it goes. I can already imagine it. What do you mean?! So, I'm going to call it a day for today. Food is waiting. Take care & bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello dear garden friends, I hope you are doing well and everyone is high in the sky. Finally, the American election campaign has come to an end. I can't hear all this anymore. So let's start right away with new photos from this morning and of course a few suggestions from me. The profile of my beloved Sour Jealousy now resembles that of a closed tulip. It will soon reach its full potential and bloom as if there were no tomorrow. Last night I personalized the conditions a little more precisely and adapted them to the respective growth. Since Lady Jealousy is still withering a bit, I keep the humidity just about at the reasonable limit of tolerability for both fully flowering Sweet Seeds ladies. I think temperature and humidity is a good but necessary compromise here. Different strains require different conditions. Especially when growth is so different. I also find the tribes of the three protagonists interesting... In my opinion, it tells us a lot about the selection of phenotypes in breeding. So my dears, the day takes its toll. Time to sleep. Thank you all for being out there. Like-minded and motivated to share our efforts around the cultivation of these enchanting plants. Thank you for this wonderful gift of being able to grow. Nothing can be taken for granted in this world. Not even happiness and peace. Take care and bee 🐝 positive! Yours Alpha_Green Hello again…. 👋 This morning the buds of the Dark Devil lady, which was harvested a little too early, came out to dry. I tried a little in the vaporizer. And I would like to take this opportunity to express great praise. The effect and taste are really very pleasant, although it was not quite there yet. And a berry-scented taste - very pleasant. I'm already looking forward to the perfectly matured lady then even more... 🤩 Yes, everything is going great at the moment. I'm really happy and satisfied with all the girls. Tomorrow my Sweed Seeds Jealousy package will be delivered from Spain. Despite the circumstances there with so much suffering due to storm disasters, super punctual. I'm already mega excited about it. Sweed Seed also presents a brand new hybrid strain. It hides or unfolds 55% indica and 45% sativa parts. Can't wait: Jealousy Z XL Auto Sweed Seeds I think this will be my first run of the Homebox! Yes!!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that from today on the 8 side radiators are active for 12 hours each during a daily cycle. Predominantly 640 – 780 nm. Dark Devil is definitely really poisonous, wow - awesome turn... I had a 3-month break, that's noticeable... ;-)) A little mental excursion at the end of week 7: "Freedom"... We cause ourselves the most stress, because we have a completely distorted conception of freedom. Freedom does not mean being able to do everything you feel like doing. The assumption of having to do something all the time, is the main reason for stress. Only, when we have internalized, that we don't have to do, what we don't want to do: Only then, we are free.
