Jan 25th
- both photos are from last nite (24th) Water and Nutrients are now Max’d and will be for the next 3 feeds before tapering off towards a flush, end of week 9
- pics tonight of the skinny-assed Sativa leaves in and around the plants crown.
-reined-in some of the taller branches by affixing them back onto the fabric pot. Pulling them down slightly.
Jan 26,
- raised the lights a couple of inches. Trying to keep top-leaf temps under the Room temp by at least a degree ~ 1.5 avg
-seems that the blossoms have responded to all the food and water. Sticky Buds for the 1st-time and a Strong (beautiful) smell I cannot get my head around yet. Funky Citrus for sure.
- R.H. dropped again ~ 50%
- 3 tablespoons Molasses added for tonight’s feast. day 5 since last nutes
*** just an observation; I’m either just at the right time in Flower, (week 6 of 11-13) or increasing the Ocean Magic content 3x has HAD a huge impact on the Bud development & Terpene population.
There are Crystals galore on the sugar leaves and bud surfaces.
2ml/L on their Bottles product Label vs 8ml/L on the G.P. Nutrition Calculator, are each company recommendations on how to use the product... ? !
I’ve made the move to 8ml/L in the last 3 feeds.
30th Jan
- big growth in the actual blossoms and hairs. The Left plant has flowers that have begun to wrap around the branches and join the other buds above and below.
The stretch in the L plant had drastically slowed and the R plant is catching-up nicely ~ 7-10 days behind.
31st - top dressing the pot(s) tonight, ahead of their next feed. Quite a “settling” of the top surface since the first waterings. And now that they are getting some serious water (usually over a 3-4 hour period) there is room for ~ 2” soil, and another inch of Sand.
Everything else has been Max’d, might as well include the playground !!
- retained some of the original potting mixture, minus perlite & shrimp compost... that goes on tonight, 31st. ** ha, should be fun with all of the Stakes in the soil... focus, pic to follow
Feb 1
- 16 Litre feeding tonight, to send the Ladies into the 2nd half of Flower. Planning & Maintenance is all I am thinking is left to do. Between the lines till 2nd week March ...
-will try and get an image tonight showing the terpene explosion and changes happening on the plants
- small increase in Molasses took TDS to 1370. No higher from here on in.

Another week done. Hard to see progress day to day but just looking back at photos it's easy to see her moving along.
It's my weekly ritual, photo, measure, smoke then update diary!
So...
She is still getting 1.5L each time i feed or water every 2 to 3 days. Increased the bloom nutrients further and decreased the grow to minimal.
Removed a few leaves blocking sites again. Also a couple poking into the fans. As for lst, i slighty tweaked the 4 middle stems. The rest would snap with any bending below the top 40mm.
Temperature spiked to 34 degrees in the tent for a few hours today but luckiky was watered last night. I think that helped her through those tough times. If she was almost dry and then had those temps i think she would be a bit annoyed! I was helping my brother move house and was a sweaty mess! Bet she was too and definitely appreciated my lights out being 1pm til 5pm. If it happens again and im home i will treat her to some ice packs by the intake again. :D
All seems good overall. Can't really complain about anything. Last week i mentioned how she didnt smell. She did smell if you rubbed her trichomes and smelt your fingers. But just putting your nose to her was only a plant smell. Now, she has just started to have a smell of weed.
I have a water pump and another timer to water her while i am away. All tested and after a bit of playing around i can feed 1.5L in 1 min :D
On to another week that i am as excited for as the last.
Thanks for checking it out
P.S Off to visit our remaining 2 outdoors tomorrow. Will get photos and upload next week. Fingers crossed all is good lol. (I say our, the outdoors grows were/are 50/50 with me and a close friend).

Day 29. Girl is going , a bit slower than Ice, i was hoping Chocolopez will be same big runner, still very nice plant is forming.
Mars TS1000 - Light is solid and does job. For last week output is on max . Still rotate a lot, but am happy with development. I miss more good wind inside, but i live in shared house ;)))))))))))) even really silent air system is still loud on desired speeds ...
Hope next week ill send her to flower. Will top up with Worm Castings and Mycorrhizae during training in few days, when girls will be watered next time. Rhythm is good, every 3 days pots are light. 1.5 liters to each went straight in after photo shoot.
Day 31. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat when lights went off. Loads of training was made today too.
Day 32. Now girls are trained daily. Top shoot twisting, leaf tucking, rotation around axis , changing positions inside of tent and so on. Always wash hands before any training, it is a must.
Still havent made mind, scrog or lst ... Think tomorrow will be watering day and i have to decide which way to go , i am fliping them at next watering 100%, otherwise again rush to harvest before late spring holidays ...
Happy Growing !!!

I really notice the flowers on the northern lights. The three easy bud are following suit. My box is small and i am might be forced to move them if i cant get them trained. I have also seen a small hole in one leaf and what looks like a small bleach spot on newer leafs. Only two spots at the bottom.

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart.
I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC.
I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will!
First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate.
ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants.
I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer.
Updates will be coming throughout the week!

Week 5 started July 24, 2022
Growth is still strong into week five, I see no pre flowering, I think that is because she started really slowly due to me getting used to this new light, etc.
July 27, 2022
Smells like lime sherbet up in here. LST, light defoliation to get some light on the lower colas. Really watered in today for the first time soaking the media, she is stretching and I see maybe some hairs for pre-flower - hope not too too soon though, I'd like more height than nine inches before she fully stretched

Ultima semana de la etapa vegetativa, próxima semana empieza fotoperiodo 12/12
me impresiona la asimilación de nutrientes de la G13 que no muestra ninguna deficiencia y gran frondosidad, se hace destacar entre estas sativas
una planta sumamente vigorosa con un crecimiento increíble tiene bien puesto su nombre. High Level 😍

Day 33: All 3 seeds i popped were female. Moved my favorite to the 30gal under the ROI-420E light in the 3x3 section. I gave 1 of the girls away and potted up the other to a 5L . Mykos Mycorrhizal used while transplanting on the roots. Fed with craft blend and some black frass then watered. The one i put in the 30gal seems to have stalled a bit. better color than before but the 5L one sprung up like crazy.
Some LST just to strengthen the stems a bit day after transplant. Light kept at 50% but just bumped to 75% at about 20". Inline fan is kept off during veg for now but i have 2 fans blowing around.
Edit: On 3/27/22 i determined what i thought was shock was actually underwatering. I dug down about a foot to feel the soil. The soil would clump together under some pressure but not as much as a well hydrated soil should when squeezed. I added 1.3Gal of tap water and today 3/28/22 the leaves perked up. texture and color are a bit off i'd say but i'll check back in another day or so.

Total Week # 12 - Flowering week # 7
We are nearing the end. Flowers are ripening up very nicely and are getting dense. They are turning purple or violet indigo what the fuck ever lol They smell delicious I do not kid 😻!!!
I am happy I didn't go with 3 plants in this tent (3ft x 3ft, I think...😵) as many suggested I should have else I would have had to hide them in my bedroom or something.
I am feeding them lower on every feeding (dropped right to 600 ppm), will take that out as well towards the end and start watering only. by end of next week, I plan to reap what I sow.
As evident, the Northern Lights aka No Fucks Given, is doing its own thing and I cannot ideally dry the Gelato in the same tent but I have figured something out, as time goes, will post pics of weights, drying, cure, trim the whole 9 yards.
Once these 2 ladies are finished, I am going to work on a proper grow place with some proper good lights since this is just a test run after all and had a lot to learn and digest in terms of information and experience. I will definitely nail it next time (Famous last words...lol)
Diary is of course open for everyone to comment what they think of it, feedback or Sarcasm is also very welcome 😊

12/31:
They are both coming along nicely.👍
Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1.
1/3:
I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day.
I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting.
Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual.
I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production.
1/4:
I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today.
1/5:
Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplanted them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of MiracleLED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

So, thinking this is the first day of week5, but I’m not sure.
📢🗣️ I think this is ‘flowering’ but I’m not sure; comments to help me define ‘flowering’ would be appreciated, please judge my photos and let me know!
📢🗣️ I made a video of my PH reader and a photo. Comments with help for that would also be appreciated, is the PH really over 9 (my readers max) due to calcium buildup up, or is the humus lombrico giving a false reading?
500 ml distilled water (still trying to flush high calcium buildup from the local water).
When the fertilizers arrive I’ll start giving her food:
9/8 200 ml bloom, 60 ml CalMag sup
10/8 250 ml filtered tap water
Moved her to a different balcony that gets a little less morning sunlight 🌅 but a lot more afternoon sunlight ☀️
Tightened the first two LST yarns, added 2 more and discovered 2 more bud sites!

Few things came up been away a little while had to get a another phone as well but I’m back . This is the grow so far , obviously a heatwave recently so problems with the temp n humidity I’ll be trying to get this back under lock I’ll be more with the grow as well .. they seem to be doing alright few problems I think but I’ve put them on grow questions. As first grow I’m not sure whether they are right at this stage or should have been budding more
Happy growing 🤙🏾
