Continued with the LST as the plant starts to bush out. Increased the plant's food adding Miracle-Gro when feeding. Cycle of water with food, then water without food. Volume and frequency slowly increasing.

I am now flushing her with plain Brita filtered water PH'd with lime juice to lower her PH. I initially first flushed her with 42L of water and now I am flushing her once a day for 8 days and then I will put her in for darkness for 3 days and then I will harvest her and dry her for 9 days and then cure her for 28-48 days.

Starting off this new run strong!!! Loving how fast the sprouties are growing. They look pretty happy to me. Maybe bottled nutes are best for my indoor.

I've given her 3 doses of dragon force and will just use filtered water for the next two waterings I am hoping to chop her this week , I need her down to make way for my purple queen. I am sure she is ready to chop now but she is still dark green so I will be patient

I went for a little defoliation on this couple of ladies, taking off some fan big leafs, I think this ladies are going to produce some really god flowrs, I'm always amazed by this genetic, the aroma it's extremely pleasant, very fruity stinky and tropical, I have harvested a haze berry a few weeks ago which you can check on my page, really excited to have this couple of haze berry by royal queen seeds, let's see how they perform! Stay tuned everybody! 💚❤️👨‍🌾

We're in the second week of flowering, and the stretching period has begun. This cut in flowering phase is growing very quickly and can triple in height in about three weeks with the right nutrients. For now, my strategy continues as in the first week: I'll only give them water enriched with microorganisms and let them grow without any stress.

The plants continue to grow although slowly. I turned the Gavita back on this week and even at 42 inches it seems to be too much light at full power because although they're getting adequate nutrients, the leaves appear to be showing signs of damage to the chlorophyll pigments. I'd like to splurge and get the adapter and controller so that I can dim the light and slowly increase the intensity to allow for a more gradual photo acclimation period, but I will probably hold off until my next run. I've also considered adding supplemental Co2 to help the plants more effectively tolerate and take advantage of the light intensity, but it seems like a big expense for an uncertain benefit considering all of the other variables that are sub-optimal. Perhaps I'll give those Excellofizz Co2 pucks a try. Someday I'll build sealed grow room with automated Hvac, feeding, and Co2 enrichment but for now I'll soldier on and hope for the best as the flip to 12-12 approaches. More to come next week!

Semana 2 de esta planta fruitgum x wgc

Beginning of week... I went ahead and gave the medium a little bit of a flush today. Finally figured that its gonna take 3L to get a decent amount of runoff.. Seems to dry out pretty fast too.. Might need to water daily.. For sure every other day, if not. I know that I shouldn't water the entire medium when she's this young because the roots dont go out that much, but the medium was a bitch to get wet.. Literally took about a week.. But she is doing great.. Her stems are giving out purples! I know seedlings tend to do that.. But I've never seen damnnear all the stems purple. I can't really get a pic of it cuz my camera/phone sucks.. But trust me, it's there lol. Gorgeous plant! Mid week.. So I've been watering once daily.. One day I will give nutes and the next just plain pH'd water.. So basically just water, feed, water, feed.. This is to avoid the dreaded salt build-ups! Today was just water but the runoff came out at like 700 PPM.. I never even put that much in! This shouldnt be an issue.. I need a better watering can. Just been using 1L bottles woth a screw on sprinkler head.. Its not a bad idea.. Especially for smaller grows.. But I'm going to get a 1 gallon watering can with a sprinkler head.. It should help me be able to spread the water out more evenly across the entire medium. But that 1L bottle with the srinkler cap is perfect for my other nano grow I got going ("*TC* created my own feminized strain" diary). But going to Home Depot today to get that new watering can.. I like the idea of the sprayer jugs.. But those things take like an hour to use up a gallon.. I love spending time with my girls, but damn! Lol.. But as for the lady.. She is doing great! Not sure why the leaves almost ALWAYS get kinda wavy.. I think I read that it MAY have something to do with calcium deficiency.. But I dont understand how that would be possible. I keep the pH at 6.3 (even the runoff comes out a 6.3) and I know I'm putting PLENTY of CALiMAGic.. maybe it's just the way these plants grow.. Its only the first 2 or 3 sets of leaves that do it.. Just weirds me out a little.. She is beginning to sprout some little branches! So excited! I can't wait to bend her over and start some LST!!! She is very happy and super healthy! By the end of this week the next set of leaves should be pretty big and I'm sure branches will be shootin out too! So happy! 😊 Next day... So she still looks great.. No burns, no deficiencies.. But I went ahead and just gave a little dose of Silica and a little CalMag.. Cuz the PPM was coming out at 700 PPM yesterday.. It was 6.3 pH and 300 PPM going in.. But the runoff still came out at 700 PPM.. Wtf.. I need to get a better watering can.. So I can at least start running a gallon thru the medium.. I'm gonna just leave it for now, I suppose. Gonna try and get a watering can tonight... Hopefully.. But she is still growing nicely and looking nice and green, so I guess I can't complain too much. Almost end of week.. I'm starting to think I need to raise my light up or turn the power down a bit.. My plants almost always stay very short and stout to where it makes it difficult to begin LST.. Its obviously too early to be trying it now.. But just something I've been thinking lately.. Help save some electricity too.. Oh yeah, so I got a new Mars Hydro TS 1000 and I noticed that some of the reds (not deep reds) are a little dim.. Almost as dim as the deep reds.. There should only be 2 deep reds, but at 50% power it looks like at least 5 or 6 of the reds are a little dull or not as bright as the others.. At 100% its kinda hard to see but that's expected cuz its bright as fuck lol.. Idk.. I could just be tripping.. But it shouldnt hurt anything.. I hope. But as for the girly.. She's doing great.. Just ordered some FloraKleen to help with major salt build-ups and to help with the pre-harvest flush.. But so far, not major salt build-ups.. Nothing I had to put her into the sink and go crazy with the shower head for at least lol.. But she's happy and perfectly healthy as far as I can tell.. I love growing cannabis!!! It's soothing to the soul.. Being one with nature.. I've even sprouted a cantaloupe in my tent lol.. Gonna see if I can keep it in there and harvest some fruit! I wanna get some morning glory and have it running up the tent and then when its time to flower a photoperiod, it will produce some gorgeous flowers along with the cannabis flower.. Just a thought I've had.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Cant wait till next week! That's when the exploding growth happens!!! End of week.. Today was just a plain pH'd water day.. Going in: 6.2 pH at 240 PPM.. Runoff: 6.0 pH at 500 PPM.. With my luck, the moment I was finished, Amazon dropped off the FloraKleen (and some trellis netting).. I dont think FloraKleen is meant to be used in between feedings like that tho.. Unless the runoff PPM is just outrageous, I'm not gonna use the FloraKleen.. But it is a great addition to the Flora family! Lol.. Anyways.. I noticed 2 pistils/calyxes (preflower) already.. They are both at the same node, but opposite sides of the main stem.. I hope she still has at least 2 more weeks of veg before flowering.. 3 weeks would be perfect and ideal.. But I can work with 2.. But she is happy.. So I'm happy! On to the next!!!...

Day 80 This morning I started defoliating Tropicana. She will be in the darkness for the next days. I already harvested a part of the head flower and let it dry trimmed. Because of extreme weather conditions and very high humidity I got a little bud rott. I found it out quit early I think. So I hope nothing will not happen any more. Just harvesting relaxed and drink a Tropicana tee. Day 81 I decided to cut her down in the evening. The humidity in the basement room is high and I don‘t want to risk here anything anymore. Waiting for my first homegrown weed to be vaped. Day 82 Tropicanas flowers hanging to dry in my basement. I check them once per day with a strong light. Day 83 Same same. The smell is wonderful like a bit of gas combined with a fruity flower bouquet. Our neighbors in the house like the smell, too. 🙏 Day 84 I could try my first homegrown weed. It‘s absolutely tasty and have a very smooth vape. I was very surprised cause it‘s not cured yet. A longer vape report will follow when it‘s dried and cured. Day 88 All flowers, sugar- and tee leafs are trimmed and filled in glasses for curing. I open twice per day for 20 minutes. Boveda packs 58% inside. I will fill out the rest of the diarie when my buds are dried, cured and vaped. So far this was a very exciting journey for me. Growing cannabis and even legal on our balcony. Feels still a bit unreal, but it’s real! Thank you for reading my diary! Thanks to all the people who worked on legalizing cannabis in Germany, especially to the „Deutscher Hanfverband (DHV)“! I will give more updates and write a vape report after curing several weeks. Maybe with some Tropicana Cookies baked in Comfreys garden kitchen.

The Amnesia haze 2 is turning light green yellowish some told me it could be deficiency or it could be just flowering taking energy from the leaves but I’m not sure I used Gaia green bloom recently thinking it would help I’m going to too water that haze from here out the other have and sour I’m going to continue to bottom feed I took some trichome pics I don’t think there ready yet but I think I’m getting close to the date I feel the the amnesia haze 2 is going to hit 90+ days tho kind of hope not cause the other haze and sour are probably going be done sooner I want to fry them all at the same time March 7th I think the haze #2 and Sour d is ready but the other Haze is not I’m pretty sure I have another week pre maybe even two for it to be near ready I need the tent to harvest and dry what’s ready I’m going try leave the ready ones in for another week in hope it doesn’t mess them up

Fue como la semana anterior sigo alternando riegos con abono si abono no y esta semana uno de los días se me quedó la luz encendida y tuvieron 36 horas seguidas de luz, espero no les pase nada grave. Por lo demás todo bien

Week 5 - 08/27 Seedsman - Critical + 2.0 Blimburn - Apple Fritter All running smoothly, Introduced the exhale C02 bag last week thus far no issues or signs of deficiencies. Light defo - Heavy feed to start the week (Nutes) *Mid-Week Update* Week 1 -Early Flower* 08/30 Both have grown significantly since last update, Flowering has begun. Introduced Raw NPK (Potash/Phosphorus) *End of week recap* 09/02 39-40 inches in height Week 1 of flower went smoothly Introduced Raw NPK Phosphorus and Potassium

Procede tutto egregiamente. Son riuscito a coprire la rete quasi per intero. La punta di alcune foglie si stanno ingiallendo, ma non è importante visto che siamo quasi vicino al raccolto. Inizio della seconda settimana senza nutriente per pulire le piante. Spera che la prossima settimana sia di raccolto. Saluti (A)narchici 🖤❤️ Doctor Cannas

Easy grow, looks and smells dank. Stoked to try it out when dry.

Everything seems to be coming along nicely feed them some great white today, steady growth after topping and no sign of flower so all good.

Comming soon

So this is the Tear Down week. The timing of it makes it so i will need to the harvest flag in a few days when I can weight and test the plants. I have included the Cleaning, and Cutting and some Root Porn. I will make the harvest post in about 4-5 days, when I can trim these plants. There is a lot of Plant here. I got way more than I was expecting. I don't have a scale that measure this amount of plant, without taking like 10 measurements and then adding them together. So I will just be posting the dry weight. I will post the wet weight as dry weight * 1.65. Autopots: Wow, what a great product. I have been blown away by how well and how easy it was to work with them. They really did solve the watering issues. Excellent product. If you are a beginner, start with Autopots. -= Lessons Learnt =- - Overdrive the air to your Autopots. In my control plant, I used a small rectangle air stone (instead of a standard air dome). This lead to root rot and some other issues, it also put significantly less air into the water. The root rot, give the material for the Brown Algae to grow. Using a huge Air-disc-Air-Stone would be an excellent combo to mix in with the air dome itself. Something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Pawfly-Diffuser-Suction-Hydroponics-Aquarium/dp/B01MY3AQ33 at the bottom and the air-dome on top of it, will be what I do with my next experiment. - Air stone in the reservoir. I had two instances where algae grew into the res. An air stone would have helped. It would have also helped my control plant get less root rot. Given the amount that the air-domes and air sources got engulfed, having the water have more o2 in it would have only been beneficial. - Don't grow 6 plants in a 4x4. Since my control plant was about 1/8th the size of the others, I think I could have grown 5 in the shape of a 5 (on a 6 sided dice)⚄ This placement would give a much more spaced canopy for airflow and more importantly light. The sides of some of the plants were lighter green and produced larf due to lack of light penetration. - This tent was on 19-5 schedule. This worked out very well for this strain. After every lights on, they were in the praying position, so this strain was able to recover in that 5hrs off. If I had more seeds, I would run these again, and try 20-4. I think this strain could handle it. All for all, I think I'm going to 19-5 as my default timing. This kept up a solid DLI. - Staring at .9EC (really .7 EC cause my water here is .2 EC) Then bumping up at .1 a week, until 1.6EC worked out VERY well. I experimented on this crop all the way up to 1.9EC, which burnt the tips of this plant. I think if I did this strain again, I would do 1.6EC until 3-4 weeks left then crank it to 1.9. It did plump them up when I went to 1.9, however it left them looking rough. Bulk was added though. - Sticking to 6.0PH for all of veg, and 2 weeks into flower worked great. The plant had solid and consistent color and leaf shape . The plant's did get hurt, due to some issues (as noted on the weeks). I switched to 6.5 PH in the last 3-4 weeks and it helped them recover, and plump up noticeably. -VPD. The #1 thing I focused on was VPD. I keep it .9kpa range, as best as humanly possible. It was honestly, HUGELY noticeable compared to my other grows. I know truly understand the value of properly dialed in VPD. This is the one lesson that will stick with me forever. - Super-cropping: On the plants I give the chiropractic treatment too, had much thicker stems as much larger channel internally. I did this treatment to 4 of the 6, and the 4 that had it done has larger buds and recovered from defoliation faster. TLDR; VPD is king. Super-cropping is worth the time. Keeping PH and EC dialed in were all wins. Autopots kick ass.
