Started some Fox Farms Grow Big this week, and they seem to have taken well. Growing very nicely, I'm tentatively trying a very mild LST on one of the Trainwreck plants, the one that is the smallest so far. I've never done any LST and am curious to see if this even works. Am normally partial to just letting the plants grow on their own.

Easy as from day one , the seed was up in 2 days and never looked back . She loved the heat mat for the first few weeks and then responded so well to being tied down . Less than 90 days from seed to smoke and plenty of it .

Moving forward, blooming nice, this second gen is taking form and gaining weight. A few weeks and we will have a nice harvest. Tent is nicely populated and filled. Once i have setup the “semi scrog” it has conformed to it in a couple of days and did a massive difference. It really opens the canopy and create a huge surface to take advantage from the light as opposed to letting it go naturally. I’m defining the technique as semi scrog because i did not setup the net in a traditional early way knitting in veg... It was done later.

đŸŒ± Wieder mal einen schönen Sonntag & zweiten Advent fĂŒr die, die es betrifft 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche war wieder bisschen was los
 leider =D Ich versuche wieder alles so transparent wie möglich zu machen 😊 Zu Beginn habe ich meine Lösung wie gewohnt manuell mit hochwertigen Apera-Messinstrumenten kontrolliert angemischt und behandelt. Das lief auch immer perfekt, bis es leicht ĂŒberhand genommen hat 😅 Ich habe locker 7-mal am Tag gemessen und dementsprechend anschließend gereinigt
 Nach ein wenig Überlegen habe ich mich dann schließlich doch fĂŒr einen Bluelab Guardian entschieden. Anfangs wollte ich nicht so viel in reinen Komfort investieren, aber mir persönlich wurde es einfach zu viel, weil ich zu oft wissen möchte, was los ist =D Letzte Woche hatte ich ja bereits erwĂ€hnt, dass ich den Stretch-Peak anhand der EC- und pH-Kurven bestimmen konnte. Das lief schon alles ĂŒber den Bluelab. Da ich wirklich gerne datenbasierte Entscheidungen treffe, habe ich ab diesem Moment weiter fleißig runtertrainiert und die Werte beobachtet um den richtigen Zeitpunkt zum sortieren zu erwischen . Der Trend war dann aber erst mal, dass sie einfach wie verrĂŒckt weiterziehen 😄 Am 4. Tag bei diesem Messverhalten wĂ€re es fast passiert
 Der Uptake hat ĂŒber eine Dunkelphase so dermaßen zugenommen, dass ich es mir nicht mehr erklĂ€ren konnte (Peak-Messung × 2,5). Fakt war aber: Das Reservoir war von den Werten her wirklich in einen kritischen Bereich gerutscht und ich wollte das Ă€ndern. Warum das so war, dachte ich mir: kann ich auch spĂ€ter klĂ€ren
 schließlich haben die Ladys Hunger =D Also habe ich wie immer 30 L Top-Up berechnet, gemischt und auf etwa 4,30 mS/cm eingestellt, damit ich die niedrigen RESS-Werte wieder nach oben bekomme. Zum GlĂŒck habe ich auch meine Momente, man mag’s nicht glauben 😄 Ich habe random beim Abpumpen mal den Drain gemessen, weil es mir keine Ruhe gelassen hat – und siehe da: 1,9 mS/cm. Die Sonde hatte sich ĂŒber die Wochen ordentlich in einen Wurzelballen geschoben und dadurch zwar konstante Werte geliefert, aber eben in einer Wurzel-Biozone und nicht im freien Draftwasser. Das klingt erst mal nicht dramatisch , aber wenn mir das nicht aufgefallen wĂ€re, hĂ€tten die Damen rund 24 h in einem hochtoxischen Bereich gestanden
 Das wĂ€ren sicher ein Ordentlicher stepback gewesen... Und natĂŒrlich passiert das Ganze in einer Phase, in der ich ihnen so wenig Stress wie möglich machen möchte 😄 Ich habe jetzt aus grobem Filterschwamm kleine „HĂŒllen“ gebaut, die aktuell ihren Dienst tun und die Wurzeln fernhalten. Drain-Messen ist ab jetzt auf jeden Fall SOP 😄 Da der Guardian erst wĂ€hrend des Runs eingezogen ist, konnte ich ihn leider nicht ordentlich verbauen.. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Zur Sicherheit gehe ich wieder Back to Basics und trainiere so lange weiter, bis der Rebound-Stretch sichtbar nachlĂ€sst 😊 Das sollte jetzt die Tage geschehen. Den nĂ€chsten Run gestalte ich hier definitiv anders 😄 Ich brauch doch meine Werte fĂŒrs Timing
 Anschließend nur noch die Meshes bestĂŒcken, langsam am Klima schrauben – und wachsen lassen 😊 ⚙ System Bis auf die Panne mit der Sonde lĂ€uft das System nach wie vor perfekt. Am Vorgehen mit berechneten, gezielten Lösungen hat sich nichts geĂ€ndert 😊 800 PPFD 1,0 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt 💚 Special Mention Da geht auf jeden Fall was 😄 Ich glaube, an dem Punkt kann man echt davon sprechen, dass sie durch ist. Sie ist nicht ganz so gut entwickelt wie ihre Schwestern – aber trotzdem eine sehr vitale Pflanze, die sich echt zurĂŒckgekĂ€mpft hat 😄💚 Danke fĂŒrs Lesen und eine schöne Woche euch 😊!

Fat Bastard is a good one. Everyone loves it's aroma. This one looks like it turned out a bit leafy. I do think I remember hitting it with extra nitrogen once, n it didn't get reported, so that all plays I'm sure. I'll see how leafy it ends up when all is done

@FAST_BUDS, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this new secret CBD plant from @FAST_BUDS, will turn out. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 4 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl nr 1 is 27 cm high and girl nr 2 is 22 cm high. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr1 has grown 5 cm in 23 hours, from 27 to 32 cm.😍 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Everything is looking great in the garden right now. Added new video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New video added. Girls are looking great and they got 3 liters of water and nutes this morning. Girl Nr 1 is 38 cm high and Nr 2 is 28. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girls grow like crazy, i have to defoliate about 20 leafs a day. Added 2 liters of water and nutes this morning and 2 new videos. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-17. This is the last day of week 4. Added a time laps from germ to week 4.

Holy moly. She's growing... like a weed. She's loving the nutrient schedule and environment (finally). I was having an issue maintaining proper humidity levels and after exhausting EVERY possibility with venting, fans and otherwise, I have moved my dehumidifier inside the tent and it's working wonders. I drain the water with a shop-vac as I do the same for my run-off. Things are going great so far, I hope to continue this forward progress in the coming weeks. Going to LST sometime this week, just not sure when. 6/13: Started minor LST phase to open spots to light. Fan leaves are gonna be huge. I also overwatered her... I'm a noob. 6/14: No watering for 24 hours. I removed my LST. She wasn't yet strong enough for the arc I put into her. Another noob mistake and add the overwatering to this, I just wanted to destress her. 6/15: Back to regular 1 liter per 24 hours, also added Armor Si to the nute schedule. 6/16: She's showing signs of getting back to normal. Added Diamond Nectar on this day. I also LST'd her back to position. 6/18: Back to normal. I trimmed 1 fan leaf under the canopy that wasn't going to get any light. 6/19: She's better and growing well. I'm going to try and keep this vegetation stage a little longer. Added a little more water today, just a tiny bit. I have 2 other plants that are a week behind and I want them caught up for the flip as close as possible. Pray for me.

hello weed friends!welcome back to Peaky's Enchanted Gardens!Our beautiful girls are in excellent health and everything seems to be going well! Meanwhile they continue their phase of fattening the buds and sweating of trichomes and to help their development we have added PK Stay up to date my friends that soon I will show you a lot of glue😜đŸ€Ș😎🍭😝

This harvest was really sweet and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I was hoping to break a pound but oh well better luck next time. The whole house just reeks 👌. Its for sure obvious we have harvested here , the nose doesn't lie. There will be a whole bunch more of the dry ice hash as well since I still have an abundance of sugar leaves in the freezer just waiting.

plants are looking great, nice and thick and growing well. Smells are increasing and so is bud density. Giving them water and the occasional top dressing, They should be fine till harvest now. Added in some bokashi grains to the medium to help unlock even more potential for the plants and nutrient uptake. If that's how it works, more a less kitchen sink mentality and does not seem to hurt. Going to be hard to check the trichomes on this plant as it is so dark but will need to keep and eye on it in the next few weeks and it will be getting close to its estimated 13w harvest date. I made a little tea out of some of the flower the spider mites/thrips where not touching. in hopes some of the extract will stay on the plant and prevent them from eating it, I honestly can't tell if it did a thing, I like to think it did something but doubtful. Also got my hands on a bunch of predator mites. There where a bit past the BB date so hopefully they will still be active/alive. Side note uploading videos into the diaries is great and all, but takes to long to resize and process, can't hit save till its all done... no idea what its doing in the backend.

Last week went well. She has grown tremendously in the last two weeks. Most growth has taken place in the last week. Over a foot of stretch. Because she was growing so much faster than the other autos, I put her in her own spot with her own Mars Hydro ts600 so I can adjust the light height just for her. I'm hoping she starts stacking on some bud. It seems like she isn't going to be a purple pheno, but oh well. As long as she turns out decent. She responded well to topping, lst and supercropping. She also seems to like the organic diet. I will update as she progresses. Until next time happy growing to everyone! 4/30- She is still stretching some but not as much. Starting to add bud mass. The bud is starting to get a purple coloration to it like I had hoped. Next time she will be grown with a soil mix that has 35% coco coir in no less than a 5 gallon aerated fabric pot to maximize the potential. I am also going to make sure she has the best lighting from the start. Because she wasn't as close as she should have been at first, that is why I think she is as lengthy. Just going to get a feel for her and improve for the next grow of this strain. Will update as she progresses.

She is doing great. This is the week 10 of flowering already! I can't believe that I've been taking care of her for about 4 months already! Her trichomes are getting milkier by the day. I am waiting for there to be some amber and many milky trichomes to harvest her, that's all... Same care and same nutes as always. -------> Update day 109. I decided to harvest her today. I see some trichomes going amber already in many of the buds, and the rest are mostly cloudy. I could leave her growing those buds for a week or maybe more... However, the blueberry indica that I harvested before planting this girl had a very strong body high, so I am looking to get a very head high from this girl. Actually, I've sampled this girl twice already, once three weeks ago, and another two weeks ago, and both were a decent high, very much how I remember it from this strain. Actually, the effect of the last sample reminded me much of the high I got the first time I smoked Amnesia Haze! So, a week after that I suspect the high will be on point, for what I want from it. ------> The end? I decided to try to reveg this girl just as an experiment... Actually, I am even going to try to make one of her clones produce pollen to create my own feminized seeds from this absolutely delicious genetics :)

It's bizarre how tall one of the four plants is getting. The other three are short - about 60 cm but the one is a good 30 cm taller. Fewer buds too. The entire plant just looks like a different strain. If it is, then I hope it's feminized - I don't want to have everything go to seed!

**3RD UPDATE** looks like my work pairs off a little. My babies have grown tremendously. Day 12 and I feel pretty good about how things are going **2ND UPDATE** I ordered smart plug for my outlet where my grow tent is pulling power from. I have my lights automatically turning off for 4 hours everyday from 12-4, while is still in vegatative mode **UPDATE** so, my grow is coming along fine, but I think it could be better. I’m noticing a lot of week 2s from journals of the same strain, and mine looks either a little behind or a lot behind, depending on soil/soilless. I think my light distance has a lot to play with it. I had my light relatively high, almost 2 and a half feet above my plants. I dropped it down to about about 18 inches, as low as possible, while still covering my grow area. If anyone can provide any advice or opinions, it’d be greatly appreciated. I hope this week will be a lot of growth, fingers crossed.** So, it’s officially week 2 of my grow. I’m pretty excited! I have 3 Six Shooters growing....all 3 germinated,,,2 are growing and reaching, 1 is a little behind, though I’m not too concerned about her. They all are growing their 2nd pair of leaves, and I don’t expect much activity this week, although I will still try to update daily. I had a great Saturday, wake n bake sesh...then I took some of you guys advice and went to my local hydroponics/garden store....and realized quickly how much I was spending online vs shopping local. On top of that, I got a nice 30 minute lecture from one of the staff about everything. To my surprise, they start seedlings and small plants there too, aside from basil and your other herbs, if you know what I mean. So they have everything a gardener would need! I was told to transport gradual sizes....basically....like I’m planning to use 3 gallon pots right? But, I can’t go from my seedling container to a 3 pot gallon straight like that. It’s bad for the plant and extremely risky. You’ll have to water that whole pot, but with the seedling or small plant only having so many roots, it would end up basically flooding the plant out. So you move up gradually. I’ll get back to that later. The soil I was using was extremely basic; Lowe’s soil, and vermiculite mix that I blended 2 parts to 1, respectively. It was a good enough medium to sprout my seedlings and get them started, but I knew I needed more. So the guy helping me hooked me up with a 2 cubic feet/15 gallon bag of Fox Farm Happy Frog Potting Soil. I told him I was on a site (ours) where the community is pretty interactive/helpful and how I was concerned about transplanting because of the risks...He shows me this stuff called Myko, which is a root enhancer. He then transplanted a basil seedling to a larger container. Before placing it in the pre-made hole he created, he sprinkled some Myko on the roots AND in the transplanting hole (? I might have made that term up). It promotes root growth and enhances root strength as well, which not only counters transplant shock, but pretty much puts your roots on steroids. I bought a bag of that. When it’s time for flowering, I’ll be using Strawberry Fields potting soil. I went ahead and purchased other containers as well, up to the 3 gallon fabric pots which will be the plants’ final destination. I told him my water feeding schedule, water every day, water/notes on alternating days. He was a fan of it, and suggested that I go a little further and do my days like this: FEED, FEED, WATER, and so on. I purchased Cali-Mag to make sure I have enough calcium going on. I went ahead and got a PH kit as well, to make sure my water and nute days are both within 5.5-6.5 pH. I slick felt like I was in high school science/chemistry all over again lol. I went ahead and bought coated metal flower support wires for LST. He did mention doing “supertopping”, but forgot to show me on a plant. Basically, it’s gently bending the main cola back and forth until you can have it bent in a ways to where you can maneuver it under netting/lattice to allow other cola to get equal/adequate energy and/or growth. I’m paraphrasing this shit, so by all means, correct me. I’m just hoping I can help someone else. I transplanted my plants to GroPro Square 4 x 4 x 3.5 plastic potting containers, and used the Mykos on the roots and soil. I then watered my plants with the water/CaliMag solution, and placed them under the grow lights again. I’ll add pix and vids to my entry shortly.

My green tea plant is growing extremely well as of right now. Transplanted her into a 3 gallon fabric pot and topped her this week. She has also grown to 10 inches. I'm waiting to see how much more and how fast she grows before I decide whether or not I'm going to transplant her one more time into a 5 gallon fabric pot.
