Day 77) 12/9 End of another week. Phone is fixed and pics are back. Day 74,75,76 there were no pics due to f'ked up phone but day 77 now has pics. This girl is doing well and still growing taller but I can tell she's at the end of her stretch. Flowers are smelling very sweet like berry and a hint of pine and candy and just sticky as hell. Buds are elongating up and down the stem with a nice 12-15 inch length but buds are forming and fattening slowly, could be the sativa side of her. Still drinking a gallon a water 💦 a day with nutes. Daily temps and humidity fluctuations may be a cause of slow bud growth and it may be my fault for trying too hard to keep environment inside tent and outside tent to the exact same but in reality according to natural science and popular findings it's evident that a swing in these conditions of not much more than 10 degrees/percent is expected between light and dark (silly me!) So I will let nature take its course but will be very watchful. Hope u all are still watching and taking a peek now and again. Happy Growing and Happy Harvesting

Entering week 5, Day 29 for the Kush XL in the back that are 18 inches tall, SolarExtreme 250 is 15" above them. The Dragon's Breath in front are at 13" tall with the ES180 hanging 19" above them. They are on a 9am-3am schedule and are fed twice daily @ around 11 am and then again at 11 pm. Have been defoliated daily, training-mainly just gently spreading them out, and today cut a low branch off both the Kush XL in back. One thing I'm doubtful of; is considering the state of their development currently; these are not 50-60 day flowering strains as Pacific Seed Bank specs. Day 31 for the Kush XL, 24 Dragons Breath, I defoliated on day 29 both plants are in stretch at the moment, if they're like most autoflowers I've grown their growth should slow week 6? and then bud development/bulking gets underway in earnest. I've moved the lights around, the solarextreme is now in front, and es180 in the back, both are 15" above the canopy. The Kush XL in the back, older than the Dragons Breath by a week are now 26"-28" tall (36" off the floor when you account for the pot & drainage grate beneath it) Dragon's Breath are 15"-16"

Day 15 Today I switched the lights from the Seedling program to the Growth program. I measured around 640 PPFD at the canopy level so a bit high for early veg but I will leave it where it is now and keep an eye out for light stress, and raise the lights if I have to. I also added a second USB fan for increased circulation. USB fans are great when the plants are small and you don't want the stronger winds that the regular clip fan generates. I also started the clip fan but directed it towards the lights to help keep them a bit cooler. I adjusted the extractor fan from 60 secs Off/30 secs On to 30 secs Off/30 secs On in order to remove more hot air. This will have to be tweaked further and I'll monitor my temps to figure out a suitable setting. It becomes a balance between temp and humidity. I really wish I had a system where I could set a target VPD and then the system would automatically adjust temps and humidity to follow that target. Not practical in my small setup though but maybe one day... Temps are always an issue in my setup as I have two powerful lights inside one small tent without AC. I have set the light cycle so that the lights are on during the night but off during the day to help to balance the temp a bit. I'm also considering getting some extension cables and put the LED drivers outside the tent to see if that helps to bring down the temps a bit further. Later in the grow I will use CO2 so that will help a bit against higher temps. Finally, I watered the plants as they were getting a bit dry. The left plant got 1 liter and the right plant 1.5 liters as the sensor reported that that pot was a bit drier. I reckon it has to do with the plant being larger (almost double the size of the other plant!) I should also really get my ass in gear and hook up the Blumat system so I don't need to worry about hand watering. Day 16 Nothing to report really except some additional growth, both vertical and horizontal. Day 17 Watering time again. Gave them 6.2 pH water this time and once again more to the right plant as it drinks more. I guess around 1.3 liters for the left plant and 2 liters for the right one. I tried putting in my small USB humidifier into the tent but I soon realized that it can't share the USB power that the fans are running on so will have to get another USB power cable in there. Didn't expect that small humidifier to use that much power. Oh well, that's a job for another day. Day 18 The girls are thirsty it seems as I had to water again today according to the Blumat sensors (I really, really need to install my Blumat system as soon as possible but should get the last bits that I need in a day or two). I gave them 2.5 liters of water (pH 6.7) and once again a bit more to the right plant. I also was able to squeeze in my tiny humidifier into the tent even though the tomatoes are still in there. Turns out that all I had to do was to switch the USB power adapter from the old Samsung one that I used to a more powerful iPad charger. Now it works just fine to run the fan and the humidifier on the same power. The reason why I'm using a small USB humidifier instead of a proper one is simply due to the lack of space in my small tent. This (very basic) humidifier is the smallest one I could find yet have a decent size tank so I don't need to fill it up all the time. Day 19 The cover crop EXPLODED since yesterday so the first thing I had to do today was to cut that back a bit. I also started brewing some compost tea (AACT). I mixed together worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses and will leave it brewing for 24 hours and then feed it to the plants tomorrow. Would have liked to add alfalfa meal as well but haven't been able to find any. I usually put my seed starter warming mat under and taped to the brewing bucket to increase the tea temperature and microbial activity. The plants are doing their thing, a little bit taller and a little bit wider. I will probably top the right plant next week but not sure about the left one as it is smaller so might need another week. Day 20 The compost tea was ready today after 24 hours of brewing. I fed each girl with around 3 liters of tea (pH 6.8) and as I wasn't planning any foliar feeding this time around I kept the tea unfiltered. So that everything that went into making the tea ended up as a top dressing. I guess I don't have to water for a couple of days after this. Not much change is plant size but the leaves are filling out. Day 21 Today was completely uneventful so not much to report except that I probably will top the right plant tomorrow as it is up to 5 nodes.

Het is zover, ze is aan haar eind gekomen. Na een moeilijke start heeft ze zich ontpopt tot een prachtige dame met mooie kleurrijke toppen als resultaat. Ik hoop dat ze smaakt zoals ze ruikt want ze ruikt heerlijk zoet bloemachtig. Bedankt Weedseedsexpress voor de mogelijkheid deze strain te kweken en de trotse eerste te zijn op Growdiaries.👌🏽 Ik heb de toppen opgehangen in de tent en wanneer ze droog zijn zal ik de overige resultaten hier rapporteren. Denk dat het ongeveer anderhalf a 2 weken zal duren. Tot dan ✌️🏽 Rook rapport: vandaag 23 april , 5 dagen na het oogsten, zijn de toppen zo goed als droog. De toppen zijn niet echt compact maar luchtig. Ze heeft het ook zwaar gehad met veel temperatuurverschillen. Ze heeft mooie paarse suikerblaadjes. De smaak is lekker licht, tropisch aardeachtig en het effect is een couchlock. Stoned als een moederneuker. Dit was mijn eerste wintergrow en heb er veel van geleerd. Ik weet nu hoe ik het in de volgende winter beter kan aanpakken. Bedankt voor het volgen en tot de volgende kweek👍🏼 De volgende grow wordt de ....Girl scout cookies autoflower van Weedseedsexpress

Very fast seedling process, seeds stayed soaking for 24h and in the water they were already showing the first white root hair, another 48h in the paper towel and the day I potted them up they showed cotyledons. They took around 11 days to reach third node and complete germination but honestly I belive it could be faster if in better enviroment, mainly the humidity which was low and I transplanted them a day late. From day 5 I started feeding them exact same nutrients and ratio from the first vegetative week but starting at 0.4EC and increasing by 0.1EC/day until 1.1EC

Day 35 is here. We are a week into flower and most the plants are just starting to hit that flowering stretch. I have been bending them down a little every couple days, but I need to focus on cleaning up some of the bottom branches so we can keep good air flow through the plants. Will work on that through this next week. I haven't done a water change, just been topping off the reservoir with fresh nutrients as they drink it up. Feeding half and half maxigro and maxibloom. Will cut out the maxigro in a couple weeks when I notice their stretch slowing down. I had a plant overflow this week because the drain line is getting full of roots. I noticed a couple roots have made their way into the reservoir already. I set a pump timer to 1 minute on and 20 minutes off so they can drain properly. I would like to make it through the grow without having to mess with the drains, but we will see what happens. I will make some modifications if needed. Other than that everything is running smooth and I hope we have some little pistils to show by next week. Thanks for stopping by ✌️

This week I moved them into bigger pots, which is why I think now they were not growing as big as I hoped. They seem to be doing well, and I have added the net now and will let the canopy build up. Since I moved to bigger pots, I did not need to water for a bit, but I think it will be back to normal this week. Check out the video I did today of the room.

Blumat system appears to be functioning properly. Drilled a hole in the blumat reservoir for the air pump to go through so I can now fully close the lid.

08.10.12 Day73 Day25 since 12/12 Her buds are beginning to fatten up. Two days ago I added water to reservoirs as she needed topping up. She drank 10 liter in about 5 and half days. Today I did a fresh reservoir change out and added 16 liters of water. We will see how long it last this time. I think in my next grow of photoperiod plant I will use trellis net as I it is becoming a pain to constantly tie down branches with training wire.

did all the topping I plan to do and she's responding just fine. found a touch of fuzz on the old seed pod forming on the rockwool and removed it, as well as snipping off the internodal leaves that had some brown spots... and now she's clean and symmetrical! very definitely an improvement from a couple weeks ago :) did not do a full nutrient swap this week, so no pics or videos of the root system just yet... maybe mid week. tuned back the nutes just a tiny bit (mixed same nute in 1700 ml instead of 1500). not sure why, mostly instinct and to help keep it small (the whole point, really). she's fun to grow! if you've never tried a desktop nano grow... i highly recommend it 😊👌😺

Buds are bulking up! Watering pots separately as the soil dries out. Watered in some Microbial Mass to give the soil more available microbes.

•Terza settimana• Ciao amici !! In questa settimana c’è poco da dire le piante crescono bene, mantenendo irrigazioni costanti ogni 2 giorni con quasi un litro d’acqua per pianta. Da metà settimana, come anticipato prima, riprenderemo con la melassa 2 ml xL ad ogni irrigazione. (Tutte le foto sono in ordine crescente)

Hey ihr Lieben! Nach 10 Tagen Trocknung habe ich das Curing begonnen. Die Äste haben geknackt und mir signalisiert, dass sie bereit sind. Nach 5h Handarbeit war ich dann fertig. Mega anstrengend :P! Aber hat sich sehr gelohnt :). Trotz das ich dieses Mal anstatt mit mineralischem Dünger mit einem ein Komponenten-Dünger gedüngt habe (Hesi Bio-Bloom), habe ich sogar mehr herausbekommen... Bin sehr zufrieden :). Nach dem Curing habe ich das Material in die Terplocbags gepackt und lasse sie nun dort schön fermentieren - das hat letztes Mal sehr gut geklappt und kann ich nur empfehlen. Danke an alle die mich bei meinem 2ten Run begleitet haben, ihr seid die Besten! Mir hat es auch mega Spaß gemacht und ich freue mich schon darauf, meinen 3ten Run mit euch zu teilen - mehr Infos dazu kommen bald.
