Typical indica harvest, larger leaves but lots of them. Largest producer so far of the FFT line if you let them go long enough but will foxtail to get that yield 12/19 Having some trouble getting the first plant to dry keeping as much air on it as we can do not want anything going wrong now. Ungodly dense buds 12/22 Weighed both plants just to check on drying and found both lost @1200 grams of water 10-1 was at 500 grams(five days of dry) 10-2 was at 720 grams (three days of dry). 10-1 will be finished tomorrow and 10-2 prob a day after or so 12/23 Yield on FFT-10-1 379 grams or 13.5 oz 10-2 will be ready in a day or two 12/24 Yield on FFT-10-2 436 grams 15.6 oz just missing the one pound mark Together 815 grams 29.1 oz

So I have decided to only note when changes are made, observations are warranted, or I feel something of note has happened. I'll still do daily progressions, but the rest has already been documented and no need to create a hundred new pics showing the same. Just understand that if I say "7.1ph," or something with tested amounts that I mean I first calibrated and tested my ph pens and all units are measured for accuracy. I am learning as I go, so it would be of no benefit to report inaccurate details. 112/42 VPD and PPFD are still the same this week. 73-76F in the day and 66-68 overnight with RH set to not exceed 55% but is mostly at 45 to 50% now that winter is here. The fan is set to auto and I have 2 de-humidifiers in the tent. The PH lockout issue is still in progress but I am starting to get the soil up to snuff now. I think using the knitting needles has the most beneficial effect on the soil as it both aerates and allows the nutes to get deeper. 113/43 Defoliated today. I removed the worst of the affected fan leaves and this unfortunately only leaves sugar leaves to run photosynthesis process. Im hoping she still gets enough of everything else to grow the buds, but only time will tell. I will take new control pics for new progression on 3 other sites now. Watering Days. All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio, or combination, of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates. These are/will be DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added-in larger, then smaller, ratios while the "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Last feed was day 110/40 (next will be +3) I expect to continue to use 7.1ph with 650ppm of bloom mix concentrate and feed 2.5 gallons every 3 to 4 days, so I expect about 8 to 11 cups of runoff at that time as well. I have decided that I will try to add 1 ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) per gallon of feed on each feed for a week or two to see if this can help against ph lockout of calcium since it cant be N,P, or K. Cant be N because she uses WAY less N in flower, and it cant be P or K because I am getting nute burn with the feeds I am already using... so my conclusion is that she need more micro nutes from the lockout, and since I was thinking it was Calcium in the start, I am going to try a more detailed treatment to test results against from here. Day 113/43 (last feed was day 110/40) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Fed 2.5 gallons of purified water (starting with 16ppm) mixed with 658ppm of 100% Bloom Mix Concentrate. Due to this soil showing a possible calcium deficit, I am starting a 1ml per gallon add-in to test on all plants using this soil, so I added 2.5ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to the feed then I ph balanced before feeding. The ph on this feed was balanced to 7.1. I used knitting needles to help both aerate the soil and create new water pathways for the roots. (a practice I may consider a new feeding standard for all my plants) I got ~7 cups of runoff (~11 cups last feed). Higher runoff volume was expected with the feed volume but glad to see she's taking it better now since I started knitting needles. Runoff was tested at 6.12ph and 2250ppm (5.9ph with 1860ppm last feed). Top soil tested at 6.23,6.31,6.57,6.38 for an avg of 6.372 (6.327 avg after last feed) - next feed will be 7.1ph again as I'm still liking where the ph is finally going, but rather see it closer to 6.3 or 6.4 top and bottom. I dont see any issues with the feed's data other than the possible calcium deficit and I will continue to monitor runoff ppms as I expected this to be lower with less runoff but have to consider they maybe washing out salt with the knitting needles. Next Feed should be 3 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water ph balanced to 7.1 in +4 days (117/47). I will run 650ppm and 3ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) again. Day 117/47 (last feed was day 113/43) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Fed 3 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water (starting with 299ppm) mixed with 671ppm of 100% Bloom Mix Concentrate. Due to this soil showing a possible calcium deficit, I am starting a 1ml per gallon add-in to test on all plants using this soil, so I added 3.0ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to the feed then I ph balanced before feeding. The ph on this feed was balanced to 7.4. I used knitting needles to help both aerate the soil and create new water pathways for the roots. (a practice I may consider a new feeding standard for all my plants) I got ~20 cups of runoff (~7 cups last feed). Higher runoff volume was expected with the feed volume increase might let her go to 4 days again and 2.5 next feed. It could be a result of the knitting needle treatment when feeding. Runoff was tested at 6.10ph and 2070ppm - again thinking it could be a result of the knitting needles (6.12ph and 2250ppm last feed). Top soil tested at 6.23,6.31,6.57,6.38 for an avg of 6.372 (6.372 avg after last feed)- next feed will be 7.1ph again as I'm still liking where the ph is finally going, but rather see it closer to 6.3 or 6.4 top and bottom. I dont see any issues with the feed's data other than the possible calcium deficit and I will continue to monitor runoff ppms as I expected this to be lower with less runoff but have to consider they maybe washing out salt with the knitting needles. Next Feed should be 2.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water ph balanced to 7.1 in +4 days (121/51). I will run 700ppm and 2.5ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) again.

More or less the same I feed plain water and they in a soil mix I put together from organic matter this type of growing is really easy, more boring at times no issues at all through out the whole grow

Another steady week of bud development. I haven't really done much with those apart from the occasional removal of yellow leaves and tucking nuisance leaves under the net. The plants are all still growing in line with the previous expectations, with Topping and LST being the biggest, Mainlined next and then LST only in last place. It will be interesting to see the results though. Should only be a few more weeks until harvest, as a large majority of trichomes are already milky.

Buds getting fat and quite a bit of amber in the trichs as shown in the video. I keep saying to myself chop it but just a little longer i think. Or whenever i get impatient. Currently flushing with just water.

Ende Woche 3 / Anfang Woche 4 – Grow Diary Mimosa X 🍊👊🏻 (Barney’s Farm) Die beiden Ladies haben diese Woche nochmal ordentlich an Höhe zugelegt und entwickeln sich bisher echt stabil. Wenn das so weitergeht, werden das richtig schöne Pflanzen. Beide wurden bereits getoppt und anschließend leicht ins SCROG-Netz eingearbeitet, damit sie sich schön gleichmäßig ausbreiten. Da jetzt schon die ersten kleinen Blütestempel zu sehen sind, habe ich angefangen mit Alga Bloom (2 ml) zu düngen, um die Blütephase optimal einzuleiten. Der Luftbefeuchter von Vivosun macht sich ebenfalls bemerkbar und unterstützt das Wachstum spürbar. Mal schauen, wie sie sich bis nächste Woche weiterentwickeln 👀 Happy Growing Growmies 🌱?💚

It has been so hot, dry and yet humid this past week! We desperately need rain, if not I'll have to start trucking water from the house since the streambed is dry, which I included a video of. The girls are really stretching since they started to flower. Bubba Kush is the tallest at almost 60 inches and she has some lovely purple on her branches that I included in the photos. I finished up the Alaska brand fertilizer and found a local one at my garden supply store. It's from Saltwater Farm and it's a 3-2-2 Fish and Seaweed liquid fertilizer. They seem to like it just fine!

Cut the net down now as all stems hardened in place. Had a reshuffle and as the Dos Si Dos much taller i have moved lights to top and propped my other 3 up on boxes to level the height more. Really pleased with this plant so nice and short but spread with lots of tops, smells really nice cant wait to see how this fattens up. Had to do a little late trimming to open up bottom just removing little bits and leaves well under the lights. Done this mainly to help with the airflow and just to give plants little more space as i suffered a little rot on my first grow as was cramped and struggled with humidity however got good dehumidifier and plenty of airflow so fingers crossed it stays well away this time. Overall plant looks really strong and healthy cant wait to see how these last 4 to 5 week turn out.

Que pasa familia, estamos otra vez actualizando la quinta semana de floración, y es que ya van cogiendo unos colores que ya van apeteciendo y todo, el aroma se noto esta semana la sala está llenándose de un aroma bastante dulzón. Quite ya el big bud y empecé aportar un poco de overdrive así se van acostumbrando, y tengo que añadirles algo de Pk que tendré por el cajón esta semana que viene sin fallo lo añado. El ph está siendo controlado y ahora mismo está regulado a 6.5 yo creo que es buen ph para que la planta absorba el Maximo de nutrientes, hasta aquí es todo nada nuevo sin problemas con este proyecto. Buenos humos 💨💨

Není na co čekat, terpeny mluví za vše. Dneska jsou na řadě první dvě krásky, tu poslední nechám ještě týden dozrát. Poslední zálivka byla ec 1.8 , ph 6.2h , základ Athéna + Green Sensation od Plagronu. Světlo na max až dokonce , vlhkost 60%. Všechno to hezky dozrálo a za mě jsem s tím spokojen.

She is doing well, some slight defoliation. The topping was perfect to match her sister plant. Starting the stretch with a nice uniform canopy.

As you can tell getting more top heavy buds definitely filling in the smell definitely picked up trying to push to day 70 I don't have a microscope yet but if somebody can tell through the pictures if the time may be sooner than 70 day please speak your mind

Well I missed the one week of documenting this beauty ..she has been doing so good since I transplanted her Into the garden bed . The branches keep getting super cropped and the growth rate is crazy right now .. The branches will need support in the future you can see just how big she may get once flowering gets here .. Big shout out to @dinafemseeds for the crazy genetics at play here ..

Chopped her on day 83 from sprout. Discovered some Bananas on Christmas, the plant looked due anyway so no worries, wanted to chop her anyway, guess I was right with the timing and the plant showed me it is done and did a last attempt to pollinate itself, normal behavior in my opinion, also the Bananas were blanks, didn't see any pollen. Overall great strain, will use this strain to test the limits of the prototype of my new hydro system. No mold or anything, vigorous growth, easy to train, stems did bend and not snap but are stiff enough to hold their weight. Buds are very dense, some might think the buds are a little small but there are a lot of them, good sizes in my opinion, perfect little ready to take with you buds. Even the buds are the bottom are dense, I had lights at the bottom but even inside the canopy with little light they are dense! Plant turned purple wherever there was intense light on it, visible on the short clip I took of a top branch where below the bud where there is shadow from the bud above is the branch is green and a little lower where light reaches it turned purple. This purpeling in my opinion is a great and normal feature in plants overall, probably do not expect a purple plant unless you go with intense lightning and high CO2 values to handle it. 9/10 because it hermed at the very end, didn't hurt the result because the plant was done but it would be nice if it wouldn't do it to maybe let it go some more and trade THC for more CBN and even more yield, total yield is good as it is but more is always better :) Whoever reads this at the very bottom... I hope this diary helps you out for your next grow. I hope this diary also shows that fertilizer brands are more marketing than anything, my fertilizer costs me ~ 1/5 compared to Canna, Plagron etc. etc. and it works great. Yara is used for example by Demecan a medical Cannabis producers, if they use it why not you? This is no advertisement for Yara, use Haifa or whatever just maybe don't buy overpriced fertilizer with big marketing and rather put that saved money in good quality genetic seeds. If you've got any tips, ideas, questions or whatever please leave a comment :) Update: added some pictures of roots after I harvested my other plant for obvious reasons, had to saw of the Net Cup because I did not manage to remove it, to many roots. Update: dried weight is 320g total, smoked a little besides that so maybe 330? didn't count how much so I didn't add that to the total, but it was a little more. Tastes like Wrigley's Spearmint gum! Will definitely grow this one again, so far my #1 from what I've grown, just dense, frosty and good tasting, can't really complain. 🙏 In case anyone from Mephisto reads this, make this a permanently available Strain 🙏
