Week 2 -All 3 plants look really healthy -light is dimmed to 40w -the Mimosa x caught up and is now also looking good -very happy with the growth this week -humidity dropped to about 65% because the vent is now running 24/7 -you can already smell a bit wich surprised me ;) will probably give it another week and then start 12/12 or what do you think? Happy for any comment! :)

So they’re still stretching, I thought they were slowing down a couple days ago, but then I walked in today and realised shit, they’re still going, must have grown another 3 inches since yesterday. They have almost filled out the whole 6x4ft space, a little space by the door and in the corners, the floor is looking well shaded which I am happy about, as that means I am not wasting too many photons. I have an maybe another 10/15cm of spare vertical capacity before I’m going to have to start some emergency super-cropping. Starting to get a little anxious I still haven’t changed out the reservoir from 16 days ago, although my top ups have been the same composition as noted above. I think I will drain her out tomorrow which has a drastically lower ratio of nitrogen. I have to say, this Botanicare range is incredibly stable and forgiving once you get past mid veg. As for the genetics, she knows how to grow without little fuss. Maybe I have been very lucky, time will tell once I finish my next grow with a different strain. The plant at the back of the room is a little squat compared to the other two but maybe she will catch up. Waffled on a bit here, thanks for stopping by, have fun all!

I’m happy with her canopy she’s almost like a table made of leafs. Gonna leave her to stretch the bud sites for me hopefully she will, this plant is definitely sensitive to light as I’ve had the P1000 on 80% since week 2 till now. D37 Had to raise a 100 watt led by 1.5 inches because of light bleaching.. it now sits 15 inches from the canopy but I can’t believe how sensitive this plant is to light. I hope she will fill out nicely 🤞🏼

Mild nitrogen toxicity still in effect from a couple weeks ago, leaves showing a deep green with a bit of waxiness to the shine and tell tale curl under. New growth seems to be growing normally however, so the past couple flushes seem to be helping. Bud development is slow while stem growth is advancing pretty rapidly, relatively so. Just waiting a few more days to start adding GHE micro & bloom nutes with a very minimal (.5 ml) amount of floragro and armor si.

May 17, 2024 Day 92 We are at the end. Tropicana Cookies is in the dry tent having a nice 48 hours of dark. Tropicana C is now in the back of the tent with the 4 Sour Diesels up front. Yes I Tetrised the shit out of it to get them in. But everything is snug. Tropicana Cookies is officially done with the main tent and is now in the dry tent for dark. I defoliated her up yesterday and only left the sugar leaves on. No sense in keeping the fan leaves on the plant if it's going to be pitch black for 2 days. Plus it's much easier to manage. And will be much easier at trimming time. She is also nearly dried out. Just perfect timing for this part. I just hope I'm not too early. Trichomes are almost all cloudy and there's a good 10% amber. A couple more days and in the dark should help them mature right along. Tropicana C is still a hot floppy mess, but the tops have some potential. I think the majority of this plant will end up being pressed for concentrate. I wish I had a bubble washer. Oh well. Pressing flower is the option then. Anyway, she isn't quite fading still, so I'm hoping for that over the next couple of days. If not, then I'll defoliate and put her in the dark for a couple days as well. Her buds are all purple and that's what matters. She has about 5% amber trichomes and maybe 10% clear. Not enough cloudy for my taste. 4 more days? Maybe. 2 in the main tent and 2 more in the dark tent. I'm still trying to free up space for the Sour Diesels. The light doesn't matter really anymore. She isn't growing at all and her buds are probably as big as they are getting. It's just a matter of ripening now. Don't really need a lot of light for that part. But still, I'm leaving the light as it is. Especially now that the Sour Diesels are in there. The environment pisses me off. How the holy hell can I change the temp by 5 degrees and have no impact whatsoever on the humidity? Seriously. The temp is climbing a bit. I have to keep an eye on it as it's going above 78° and I don't want to melt my trichomes. Back down to 74° with the stupid humidity stuck at 62%. Annoying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick update: I had to increase the light power to accommodate the Sour Diesels now in the tent. They needed 200 to 25 mol/m²/d, so the light power as increased to 80%. The DLI only increased a couple points. No at 38 mol/m²/d. Everything looks fine. May 18, 2024 Nothing going on today. Tropicana Cookies is finishing up day 1 of dark. The humidity is a nightmare in the tent. It keeps climbing over 66%. I've tried everything at my disposal. Leave the tent door open, dehumidifier in the bedroom, dehumidifier in the tent? I don't think I tried that yet. I have 2 dehumidifiers in the main tent trying to keep the humidity down in there to no avail. I'm not bothering with trichomes today. I'll check trichomes tomorrow afternoon when she finishes up day 2 of dark. I may have to keep her in for a 3rd day. We shall see. Tropicana C needs to get out of the tent ASAP. Her floppy tops are flopping right over the sour Diesels, which are growing vigorously. 2 of them grew 2" last night alone. They need the room now. Tropicana C just isn't ready for the dark tent yet. Maybe a few more days? She's just starting to show signs of fading now. I'll check trichomes tomorrow as well. The lighting is of no concern. It's making the tent too hot, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything to Tropicana C. Tropicana Cookies doesn't have light. Lol. The environment is a nightmare. Humidity is WAY too high. And now the temp is too high. No matter what I do, I can't control it at all. The temp is 77° and the humidity is still ridiculous at 66%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.2% 1.05 kPa Update: so I was researching other issues high humidity can cause. It slows down production and the plant won't drink because there is too much moisture in the air. It makes total sense. All of the flowering plants are taking forever to finish up. Now I think I know why. Also, I added 1/2 gallon of plain water to Tropicana C reservoir. As she isn't quite done yet, I would rather her have a source of water if she needs or wants it. I added one of the dehumidifiers to the dark tent with Tropicana Cookies. Now the humidity is around 51% with the temp hanging out around 76° to 77°. It spiked into 79° earlier, but I was messing with the heat in my room. May 19, 2024 Busy day today. No watering or anything, but a very busy day. Tropicana Cookies was wet trimmed and chopped down today. It took 94 days total from seed to harvest. After wet trimming, her total wet weight was 14 oz. A bit surprising to me. I was honestly thinking closer to like 9 oz, but I'll take it. Trimming took roughly 4 hours. I'm not sure why, but it did. I'm slow I guess. There was no sense in trying to keep the trimmings for this round. There really wasn't much and I need a bigger table to catch it all. Messy. I've also discovered that the majority of the buds are a bit loose. Mostly the lowers and some of the middles, but the tops are mostly good. I think based on my own mistakes, I'll be using the majority of this plant for concentrate. Maybe the whole plant. We will see. It all depends on how it dries and what the end result is. Both plants were not very happy with my nutrient regimen. Oh well. A lesson well learned. Tropicana C is still floppy as ever, but now instead of a near black purple, she's almost like magenta or something. Dark pink? Lol. Something like that. She's starting to fade now and most of her tops are all colored. I'm just waiting for the fan leaves to catch up. I'll keep her in the tent for as long as I can. Maybe 3 more days? Maybe. Her buds are definitely loose in the bottoms. The mids and tops are pretty nice. We'll see how they look after wet trimming. The dry tent is hanging out at 70° and 61% humidity. I'd love it to go down to 65°, but for some reason it won't. I'll get it right in no time. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 68.3% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 20, 2024 We have fade! Tropicana C is finally starting to fade. Light green leaves coming in with purple hues. The buds are basically pink, it I expect them to get darker as she moves along. Tropicana Cookies Day 1 Drying. She looks good. Not much to report. She's drying. It could take between 5 and 7 days. Due to her smaller buds and the wet trim I did, I don't expect her to take very long to dry. And it seems that the environment is pretty nice. 61% humidity and 68°. The temperature could be lower though. Tropicana C looks good. Still super floppy, but she has pretty buds. Not very tight buds. I'll do the same wet trim as well. She should end up drying after about 5 days. For now, she's drying her soil out and fading at the same time. I might give her another half gallon just to tie her over until harvest. I also plan on defoliation in the next few days after the fade is well underway. The light is the same. No changes there. The environment is still wonky. The temp is at 74° which I finally got control of again. The humidity on the other hand is still super high at 65%. I really don't understand. It was 40% humidity out yesterday and even with the outside door wide open, the humidity did nothing to drop. Nothing at all. It's weird. It's back to being humid today, so no opening the door. Hopefully I can get it to clear up ASAP. Oh, I did just learn that the central air isn't working either. And that is the main source of cool dry air. With none, I'm stuck using a portable AC that just blows wet air back into the room when the condenser is off. Stupid design. Very stupid. Even the dehumidifier function doesn't work right. It does the same thing except with heat. So my room gets too warm but the humidity stays the same. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 67.7% VPD: 0.86 kPa May 21, 2024 Day 2 of drying for Tropicana Cookies. The whole plant shrunk to half its size. Small tight buds. As I said before, the majority of this plant will most likely be pressed. We shall see. Tropicana C is showing way more fade now. Like twice as much as yesterday. It's coming on fast and hopefully that means she's finishing up fast. I checked her trichomes today. Looking good. She definitely needs way more amber though. But has much less clear. So it's mostly cloudy, but definitely nowhere near enough amber. What's funny is how floppy she is. One would think those buds wouldn't develop properly, but they are swelling and getting more purple just like the rest of the plant. Interesting. I still don't know what happened here, but I'm guessing it has all to do with the nutrients this run. Bad timing. This plant may also be mostly pressed. Her buds aren't as dense as Tropicana Cookies and they are definitely not tight. Unless by some miracle, they blow up and fill in over the next few days. We shall see. The environment is finally leveling out now that the central air is on. Finally. It won't drop the humidity all the way to the low 40s%, but it will drop it below 55%. And that's keeps the tent below 60% and put of the danger zone for mold. However, I know it's still too high for the plant to perform at max potential, but it's the best I can do for now. Once it kicks on again, the humidity will hopefully drop to 50%, then maybe my dehumidifiers will start working as they are meant to. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 22, 2024 Tropicana Cookies day 3 of drying. I haven't weighed her up yet to see how far along she is. I'm really not expecting her to take very long at all. Her buds are small so she should be done in a couple more days. Tropicana C is fading quite quickly. Looking really close to finishing up. However, the Sour Diesels in the tent are already in pre-flower and are starting to stretch. The need space ASAP. So I think I'll harvest her whole tomorrow she's not very leafy and I don't think she will get mold at all. She still has super loose buds so she will dry up within 5 to 7 days I think. Even at 60% RH, I think. On the other hand, she was way too dry, so I added a half gallon to the reservoir. I was planning on harvesting in a couple days, but I don't think I have that much time anymore. Originally I was going to wet trim Tropicana C just like Tropicana Cookies, but her branches are way too weak and floppy to trim without snapping branch after branch. So as I said earlier, I'll be dry trimming her instead. The environment is back to being wonky. The central air hasn't turned on yet today and it's 85° out. So my room is suffering a bit with my crappy portable AC. It blows wet air when the compressor turns off. So the humidity is back up above 60%. The temp is fine at 75°, so I'm opening the tent periodically until the AC turns on. I also added a new trichome video for Tropicana C. Getting really close. Let me know how close I am? Or does it not really matter at this point? Update: I decided to completely defoliate Tropicana C. I don't know I will do. Full wet trim. The buds are small and so are the branches. So there shouldn't be any issues with the higher humidity. I'll be doing it in sessions as not to stink up the whole house. But basically anything with a stem I can access is getting cut off. Who knows, maybe I'll finish defoliating fst than I think and will wet trim anyway. She is definitely getting harvested tomorrow. I'm completely out of space for the Sour Diesels. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.20 kPa May 23, 2024 Tropicana Cookies Day 4 Drying. I have a moisture meter for the stems and will be using that tomorrow to see how far along she is. Still a couple more days I think. It might be Harvest Day for Tropicana C! Honestly, I would have liked a little more time, but I have other plants that need the space. So I'm wet trimming her today and will harvest later tonight or maybe tomorrow. We shall see. Either way, she is done even if she's not. I'll take one last Trichome Video after I'm done trimming. Then I can see if she's actually ready or not. Maybe she is. I don't think so though. Not much else for today. Unless I harvest, then I'll update. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.2° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.18 kPa

7day - One of the bushes turned out to be a hermaphrodite, removed it away. Planty began to drink a lot, watering every other day for 1.7-1.8 liters 8day - added PK 13/14 atami 0.7ml/l +Canna bio flower 2ml/l +Bud ignitor 2ml/l -900ppm 1.8 litres and made defoliation 10day -added PK 13/14 atami 1ml/l +Canna bio flower 3ml/l +Bud ignitor 2ml/l +Rhino skin 1ml/l -950ppm 1.8 litres 12 day added PK 13/14 atami 1.1ml/l +Canna bio flower 3ml/l +Bud ignitor 2ml/l +Rhino skin 1ml/l -1000ppm 1.8 litres 14 day - pure water . 6.8PH 200ppm 2 litres/plant

Some are swelling , one is smelling very different to the others . I seem to have 6 phenos from small to tall and rounded buds to thin spear shaped buds. I'm not sure which is my favourite yet but one has a very unique smell almost like pineapple and exodus cheese , it could be that one but I also like the bud formation on another,, we will see

🗓️ WEEK 7 (flo) 💧 As is my usual practice during the penultimate week of flowering, I prefer to completely cut out nitrogen from the DWC reservoir. Instead, the focus shifts entirely to phosphorus, potassium, and flowering stimulators. This time, the process is quite straightforward: I'm using Green Sensation, but at a decidedly higher concentration than usual. This approach offers the benefit of working with fewer products overall and helps in reducing the potential accumulation of salts around the root zone. 🌱 Starting this week, I began closely inspecting the buds to gauge their maturity. Currently, about 20% of the pistils have browned. As for the trichomes, my assessment is approximately 15% clear, 80% milky/cloudy and 5% amber.

This week went really well ! Today we are at day 79 from seed an looking beautiful! One Forbiddin Runtz got chopped an hung to dry out an the rest are still flushing out through the rest of this week! Very nice looking fades coming along on the fan leafs from purple to green , so beautiful ! So happy with these genetics from @fastbuds_genetics! Super sticky an smell is so amazing, room full of purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz the smell you can’t beat, so many berries!!! Well stay tuned for next week! Cheers y’all

June 2, 2024 Day 43 A new week and some decent changes going on. Lighting, watering and environment. This week we focus on training and leveling out the canopy. The main stretch should be starting any day now and I want to have the canopy level to start. Then I can make small adjustments as needed throughout the rest of the stretch. Sour Diesel A had a couple more branches pulled out today. She's looking super good. Healthy, strong branches and beautiful green. Plenty of foliage, but not too much yet. She will certainly need a defoliation after the stretch. Just to open up some space. Outer leaves and the main stem leaves. That should be all I need to trim. Maybe a couple more here and there. She's 19" tall right now. Mostly because I keep pulling branches down. I'll leave her alone in a few days when I have all the branches spread out evenly. Sour Diesel B also had a couple more branches pulled out. She's a bit of a rectangle to be honest. I'd rather her be square over rectangular. Better space management. Right now, she is overlapping Sour Diesel C. Not too much, but she is. She also is up against the wall. It should t be a huge deal for now. And it should even out and square up over the next couple of weeks. She's also 19" tall. Again, because I tied her down. So the top is actually 19" the rest were about an inch and a half taller. No longer. Sour Diesel C is looking pretty good. She's still about 2" shorter than the others, but still looking good. The riser works wonders. She's still only 17", but again it's because of the tie downs. I'll leave her alone in a couple days. She's almost where I want her to be. Sour Diesel D is looking great! Amazing structure and beautiful branching. Her buds are coming in quite nicely and I can tell they will be stacked on the main cola. I'm very excited to see how she turns out. Especially because I've never let a plant go naturally. Well, kinda with a Skywalker OG, but that was defoliated a bit more than I plan on doing with this lady. She's 21" tall and I can tell she will start to stretch a bit more in the next week or 2. I'm hoping for 3.5 ft. Watering has officially changed. I've installed the bottom feed basins with the wick system. Filled them up with a gallon of the new nutrients. Speaking of which, I've made some changes to the nutrient regimen based on the feeding schedule. I've increased the Bud Candy and Sensizym. I've also added Big Bud and a 2 ml dose of Cal/Mag. I'll only be adding Cal/Mag once a week. It's not going to be needed anymore than that. As I said earlier, the lighting has changed. It's changed completely. The light distance is now 24" to the canopy. The light power was increased to 80%. And the DLI is a flat 40 mol/m²/d for A, B and C. But D, being taller, has a DLI of 45 mol/m²/d. The environment is finally at a reasonable level for this stage. Maybe a bit warm, but the humidity is hanging out around 53% and that's fine for now. Soon enough it will get really hot out and the central air will be on more often and keep the room dry. Maybe it will go below 50%. The room stays at 70° with the A/C on, so I'm not worried about that. I can even drop it down to 68° to bring the tent down to 74°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 78.4° RH: 53.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa June 3, 2024 Not much going on today. Sour Diesel A is looking really good. Her canopy is level for the most part. Lush green leaves. They're starting to get thin though. Not really sure why, but they are, but they are. Either way, they still have beautiful color. Sour Diesel B is my golden girl for this run most definitely. She has wonderful side branching. She is definitely more developed than the rest with D coming in at a ose second. Her buds are really big compared to the rest. 2 to 3 times the size of the others. Her curved top is looking great as well. Stacking buds like mad. I think I'll do another small bit of training tomorrow. She's already taking up her whole quadrant and a bit of D's as well. Sour Diesel C has finally caught up to the rest of the group. However, there are some noticable differences. Her leaves are a much lighter green than the rest. She doesn't look unhealthy or stressed, so I'm not sure what's going on with her. I'll have to research extensively. Sour Diesel D is looking fantastic. She's still growing big fan leaves and stretching nicely. Not as fast as I expected, but still a nice pace. I assume she will pick up the pace in a day or 2 when the roots hit the bottom feed system. At least that's my experience. All 4 ladies took perfectly to the bottom feed system. They all have a nice damp bottom and have a good weight to them. The soil moisture meter is reading 71% saturation, but it's just adjusting to the system. In a matter of a couple days, they will be down to about 45%. Right where I like it to be. I had to move the light up about 3/4 inch today. Just to keep the DLI at the proper intensity. I'll keep it at 40 mol/m²/d for the rest of this week and will increase it to 45 mol/m²/d next week for the rest of the grow until the last week. I'll drop it down to 36 mol/m²/d. It's humid today. Really humid. Like 79% humid. So naturally, the tent is a mess. The temp is fine at 76°, but the humidity is back over 60%. I don't know what to do about it. Too much moisture not only in the tent, but in my room as well. Uncomfortable to sleep in. Shame on that weather. Anyway, I'll be fighting that for the day. It should be fine in a few days when the weather calms down. It should also stay that way through the rest of June into July. A note about the bottom feed system: The reservoir isn't supposed to dry out or it causes water flow issues. However, I have noticed that if the roots don't break through the fabric container the bottom of the container gets soaked. So if you are using them or something similar, you can let the reservoir dry out while the roots still work their way down. This should keep the bottom from saturating. Once the roots hit bottom, you can resume constant feeding. There's more info about this bottom feed system. I'll go through it as we progress through the rest of the run. Btw, it's the one from AC Infinity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 78° RH: 58.4% VPD: 1.33 kPa June 4, 2024 Looking good today. Everyone has had the same amount of water. It's interesting how accurate they are with water intake. Really cool. Sour Diesel A has a wonderful square structure. Branches are almost all spread evenly. After the stretch I'll be removing some of the lowest bud sites and maybe the very lowest node. They just aren't up to the canopy yet and I don't expect them to keep up during the rest of the stretch. We will see after the stretch what we are looking at for options. I'm probably going to remove them regardless of size. Sour Diesel B is still the best of the group. The buds are looking great! The bud sites are really starting to pop up. I expect significantly more as the stretch continues. Sour Diesel C finally got her main cola tied down toward the center of the plant just like A and B. Her main cola was starting to take off and was taller than the rest of the plants and the canopy. So it got tied down. I knew she would catch up. Still a lighter green than the rest, but caught up and still very healthy. Sour Diesel D is looking wonderful. She is stretching and stacking perfectly. Her side branches are stretching as well and are starting little stacks of their own. They will be big by the end. Her structure is the most uniform of the whole tent. Honestly it is to be expected. Training can be a messy business. At least until they stop stretching and final adjustments can be made. So with an all natural grow, she looks great! The light is staying in place today. I'll check the DLI tomorrow and see what to do. I'll most likely raise the light back up to 24" instead of dropping the power. I considered dropping the power, but then there wouldn't be as deep of penetration. The environment is back to being a mess. The temp is fine at 76°, but the humidity is ridiculous again at 65%. Really?! It's hot today, so the central air should kick on around noon. That always fixes the humidity. It's this stupid portable A/C. Too much condensation on the condenser and it's just leaking back into the room at a rapid pace. Hence the super high humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 60.1% VPD: 1.18 kPa June 5, 2024 A bit of a to do today. We have some defoliation, reservoir refills and light movement. All 4 ladies got their main stem leaves cut off today. Now there's much more light penetration and space for these ladies to breathe. I was going to wait for week 3, but I think 11 days into flower should be fine. They will still stretch, but I think better as they have more space to grow and more light penetration. Airflow of course increased as well. Sour Diesel A had 1 of the branches from the lowest node snipped off with the fan leaves. She looks great with her partial haircut. Just enough. I don't need to stress her out anymore than just those leaves. She may stress for a day or 2, but she will be perfectly fine. Strong plant. Very healthy. Sour Diesel B had both branches on the bottom node removed. They were too small and underdeveloped. So they had to go. I also took the lowest auxiliary branches off of node 2. Just cleaning up the popcorn and larf. I might snip a few more in the coming weeks. We shall see. The defoliation should help with the lower growth anyway. Sour Diesel C is now the tallest and I think I figured out why she had lighter green leaves. She was infact nitrogen deficient. Based on her sudden growth vigor and the fact that she was the dryest and lightest today tells me she is wanting to stretch even more. I wish I had some grow based nutrients, but I ran out. I might be able to get some in 4 days, but that for sure won't matter anymore or won't be worth the few days she will need it. Maybe. I have other nutrients that take priority. Bud Factor X and Rhino Skin. Honestly, I don't really think she will need it. Her branches are stiff as it is, but I think it also increases the width of the branches, so that would be helpful to support huge buds. But she is quite the hungry plant from what I'm starting to see. I might be able to bump her nutrients up to have dose from a third. Sour Diesel D had node 1 removed during the defoliation. Speaking of defoliation, it did exactly as I hoped. It made more space for the lowers of this natural grow. I was going to leave her completely alone, but due to the limited space in the tent, I needed to open up the canopy. Now there is light penetration all the way down. Perfect. All 4 ladies drained their reservoirs. Sour Diesel C and A were the dryest. With just barely any moisture in the reservoir where C was completely dry and lighter. 2 ml per gallon for all nutrients. I didn't add Cal/Mag this round. I'll wait til the beginning of next week to add another dose. It will most likely be 3 ml/gal along with the rest. The light finally needed to be moved. I should have moved it yesterday I think. I needed to lift it 3" today. So the ladies were getting blasted with 50 mol/m²/d. It's now back down to 40 mol/m²/d. Next week we will be at 45 mol/m²/d which means I either need to increase the light power or lower the light back down. I also depends on the stretch. I may have to raise the light and increase the power. Raising the light gives me a wider lighting footprint so all parts of the plant get as much light as I can provide. Increasing the intensity brings the DLI up to the 45 mark. This all depends on how the street h goes over the next week or so. The environment is still a hot mess. Today the temp is a bit high at 79°. I'm going to lower it down to 74° if I can. However, the humidity is still really high at 62%. When the air conditioner kicks on later, the humidity will drop back down to around 54%. The temp will also drop to a reasonable number around 74°. The DLI is no good either. It's sitting at 1.26 kPa and should be around 1.33 kPa. Update: So I was looking at Sour Diesel C and noticed her buds aren't quite as developed as the rest of the plants. Maybe she wanted to veg for a bit longer than the rest. I may have screwed up and started Big Bud too early. I'll take it out next watering and resume after that. I'm not giving much. Just 2 ml/gal, it calls for 8 ml, but I have autoflowers and they definitely do not need that much. I might bump it up to 4 ml after next week. We will see how they like the current dose. Second Update: Upon further inspection, I discovered the DLI was actually 45 mol/m²/d when it should be 40 mol/m²/d. No wonder they aren't over 2 ft tall yet. The light distance is still 24" for the footprint, but I turned down the power from 80% to 70%. Now it's between 38 mol/m²/d and 42 mol/m²/d. Ideal for this stage of growth. I should have kept a much closer eye on it though. I may have stunted them? Maybe not. I also read that this strain likes to stretch multiple times. At least 2 different versions I've looked into say the same thing. That and they are finicky with the environment. I really hope I can get this humidity down ASAP. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 59.1% VPD: 1.20 kPa June 6, 2024 Let me start by complaining about the RIDICULOUSLY high humidity today. The bedroom is at a whopping 70%! WTF! I give up. What the hell do you do with that? I even turned the heat on to absolutely no avail. Honestly, I'm worried that not only will the plants get moldy, but so will my clean ass room. I make a point to not leave anything organic in there. Nothing. But still, the humidity is that high. The tent is about 68%. Seriously, what the hell man. If anyone has any suggestions besides adding a dehumidifier or an air conditioner or a heater, I'd be super grateful. I have all those. Hell, I have 2 dehumidifiers in the tent that are made for grow tents. Nothing can keep this humidity at bay. Anyway, there isn't much else to say today. Nothing to really do. Sour Diesel A looks quite nice. She's definitely stretching now and has caught up to D in height. However, a strange thing is happening. She's barely drinking any water. Unlike the rest of the group, her reservoir is still nearly full. The rest have another day left before they need a refill. However, she has her first signs or roots coming out. So if I'm correct, once the roots are really showing on the bottom, she should pick up the water intake. Unless she just isn't that thirsty of a plant. Who knows. Anyone have experience with this? Sour Diesel B is now the shortest plant in the bunch. I think she has finished her stretch already. Her buds are getting big. Especially compared to the rest. Huge buds and about a quarter water left in the reservoir. I didn't check the roots on her today. I honestly was in the middle of something else while I was working the plants today, so I missed a couple things that I will check out tomorrow. Anyway, she's super sturdy and I can only hope she starts to stretch again in the coming weeks. From what I've read, this strain stretches multiple times during early flower. We shall see. It's only been 13 days into flower so anything can happen. We shall see with this one. Sour Diesel C is officially the tallest of the 4 plants. She also has the least developed buds. Definitely taking more time vegging. Or in pre-flower? Like she's stuck there. Lol. We'll see how she turns out. I may have another monster on my hands just like my Gorilla Cookies run. Sour Diesel D is slowing down I think. She has been surpassed by A and C. If we recall, this plant was the smallest of the bunch in the first place. So maybe she will stretch a bit more and hopefully she does. She's not quite tall enough for my tastes. I prefer a nice 3 ft plant. It fits perfectly in the 3x3. Although, I wonder what kind of nightmare would it be to have 4 plants of that size. It would be a bit difficult to pull them out to work on them. Anyway, pipe dreams for this run. I don't expect much more growth. Maybe a few more inches. The light will be checked later today. I may have to raise it again. If they really take off like I hope, I may have to remove the exhaust fan and run it outside the tent. No big deal, I have it all set up and ready to go if need be. As I said earlier, the environment is an absolute mess today and I have not a clue what to do about it, if I can even do anything about it. But nothing is working and the house A/C probably won't kick on today at all. It's not hot enough. So I may be absolutely screwed today. Update: I checked the DLI and it went up a little bit, so I raised the light a little bit. Just a half inch. But what a difference. Sour Diesel C was hitting 48 mol/m²/d. The half inch put it down to 43 mol/m²/d. The rest of the canopy is between 38 mol/m²/d and 40 mol/m²/d. A little low, but in 2 days I'll be changing it to 45 mol/m²/d. So no need to change it now. I could have left it alone, but the plants are still stretching and I think the light may have been too bright at one point and they stopped stretching because of that? I'm honestly not too sure why they aren't tall like they should be. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 60.5% VPD: 1.13 kPa June 7, 2024 Not much going on today. All 4 ladies will need water tomorrow. C the most. She is really drinking a lot compared to the others but still has that light green going on. I really wish I had some grow nutrients. Sour Diesel A is looking really good. Kind of lanky, but the branches are super stiff and look fine. It's still really early in flower and I expect these branches to harden up quite a bit more. Her stature is pretty nice with a flat canopy and great leaf to bud ratio. I might do another small defoliation tomorrow morning. I'm not sure though. Sour Diesel B seems to have stopped stretching already and is just working on buds now. Let's hope I'm incorrect. I would love to see some more stacks. She will definitely need another defoliation with her leaves getting big again. Not too many, but enough to block a lot of the canopy. Sour Diesel C is still light green and still needs nitrogen. She'll be needing water before everyone else. She's pretty wet on the bottom of the container, so I may let her dry out while the others catch up. I will most likely give her a small dose of recharge tomorrow with her feeding. Maybe that will get the nitrogen pumping again. It's not too bad. I'm not seeing any signs of yellowing. Just a lighter green. Between pre-flower green and veg green. Not vibrant though. It's hard to explain. I know there's an issue, I know what the issue is, but it looks so early and the other leaves are getting darker. It'll be fine. Sour Diesel D is looking great and she will definitely need another defoliation. The tent is tight with 4 plants in there, and this lady just has too many leaves covering lots of bud sites. I'll probably cut jus the big ones that are facing in and the ones outside the plant. Just to make sure the outer buds have more space to grow. I didn't changed the lighting today. No need. Everyone is happy right where it is. Though I think I'll be checking DLI later today or tomorrow. The environment is a lost cause. I can't do anything about it no matter what I do. Hell, it didn't even drop much yesterday when the central air kicked on. It still stayed above 60%. It was that bad and continues to be that bad. The temp is good though. So that's something. Today we are hanging out at 66% humidity with a temp of 75°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.01 kPa June 8, 2024 We are doing a bit of work today. The ladies need their final defoliation before week 3 starts. No more defoliation from here on out. Maybe a leaf or 2, but nothing like today. Sour Diesel A looks really naked from the side, but the top is still filled in pretty well with foliage. Sour Diesel B is growing really nice buds. Not much more upward growth, but the buds are starting out pretty fat. What a good sign. I left a bit more on than that of A. Sour Diesel C had about the same amount removed as A. She looks super good and is stacking really well. I like the internodal spacing. Not too short and not too long. She also needed water. So instead of refilling the reservoir with just a half gallon of water, I top fed her with a quarter teaspoon of recharge to help reinvigorate her soil. We shall see what happens. Sour Diesel D looks a bit naked to be honest. I'm pretty sure I took too much. Hopefully not. We shall see how she feels later today. I'll be watering tomorrow as it's a new week. There will also be new nutrients. I have to look at the lighting again today. Sour Diesel C is still stretching. D seems to be stretching as well, but it's hard to tell on the sea of plants. The environment is still as always a mess. I really have no idea what to do about it. Yesterday it kind of cleared up. I got the humidity below 60%, but not by much. Anyway, the humidity is back up over 60% and the temp is at 76°. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.05 kPa

Flower Week 3 / Day 2: The plants each received 2 liters of water and nutrients. I only gave them half the dose of fertilizer. They are doing wonderful. The leaves have a rich green color and are praying. Flower Week 3 / Day 5: Today I defoliated them again a little, as some parts were getting a bit too bushy. They are now quite sticky and the trichomes glisten in the light. Unfortunately, it doesn't look quite the same on the video. All of Taylor's buds develop evenly. In Beyoncé's case, one half is already well developed and the other half behaves completely differently. In any case, both are healthy. Perhaps it is also due to the genetics of the plant.

14th Fastbuds Blue dream 🌲🌲💚

Plants reacted very nice to being in a controlled environment. Giving them more time to see if a longer veg will give bigger buds. Day 32 defoliated for the first time(Should have LST’d same day. I will still be heavy on the lollipopping Burned the White wedding. The other cultivars didnt burn. All plants are getting hut with plain ph water….and silicate, Day 34 Stalks were already to dense to LST. Defoliation went well Topped the main stalks(about 4 per plant). Tis was my second time topping this grow. I topped this time so that i can control stretch. They need one more week so they can rebound from the stress before i flip to flower on day 42 Noticed that 20klux+ was stressing my plants. I brought it down to 10-18klux I have failed to use tricantonol or any SST yet. These are usually crucial parts of the grow. I wonder whats going to happen

What's up Growmies🤟🏽. Week # 8 is in the books🙌🏾 Hello week #9💪🏾 I went a little overboard on pictures this week, they are so happy and healthy that I got carried away. I know we are supposed to post pictures with the lights off, however it's something about the contrast it gives with the lights on that makes it look sexy to me😁. I have had to tie the stalks of both White LSD plants due to heavy sagging. I'm noticing with this strain the stalks seem to topple over even though the buds are far from fully developed. A trellis net probably would be ideal however I hate them. They are easy to put on but very difficult to take off come harvest. I use garden wire and string them as if they are puppets being controlled by the puppet master🤪. I continue my feeding schedule with the recommended "bloom" concoction using general hydroponics Flora series trio. I give them 1 liter every 3 days. I have them on a 2 to 2 cycle (feed them twice with nutes and then twice with plan water) I keep the p.h. around 6.1 to 6.6. Temps and humidity are in the perfect range I'm enjoying it while it last because spring and summer in VA makes it difficult to keep the humidity in check. All in all everything is going well for me and my ladies. I hope the same for all of you. Until next week my friends Happy Growing 🤟🏽 and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for the Week 2 Veg Report on our marvelous Epsilon F1, and let me tell you, the growth has been nothing short of spectacular. Our little green companion has truly spread its wings and embraced the journey of life. Now, let's talk about the VIP treatment our Epsilon F1 received this week. I decided it was time for a change of scenery, so I gently transplanted her into a spacious 11 L fabric pot graciously provided by Royal Queen Seeds. Now, let's dive into the wonders of fabric pots. Fabric pots are like a luxury spa for plant roots, allowing for optimal aeration and preventing over watering. The fabric's breathability promotes air pruning, stopping those pesky circling roots and encouraging a robust, healthy root system. It's like a tailored suit for our Epsilon F1, allowing it to grow with style and comfort. But that's not all, my friends. During the transplant, I whipped up a magical Aptus Holland super soil mix, and oh boy, it's a nutrient symphony. Let's break it down: Micromix Soil: This powerhouse contains a mix of microorganisms and stimulants, creating a microbial wonderland in the soil. It's like inviting the best party guests to the root zone, promoting nutrient uptake and overall plant health. Substrate Buffer Powder: The pH magician in our mix. It conditions all substrates, ensuring a stable pH environment for our Epsilon F1. No more pH rollercoasters, just smooth sailing for our green friend. All-in-One Pellet: The time-released 100% organic pellet fertilizer that's like a Michelin-star meal for our plant. It comes with a compounded NPK fertilizer, essential microelements, and even L-amino acids. It's the complete package for a happy, well-fed plant. And, of course, we can't forget the star of the show, Mycor Mix! A mixture of various species of endomycorrhizae, working tirelessly to support our crop. Fixed on a vegetal carrier, it feeds and protects the fungi, creating a symbiotic relationship that's pure magic for plant growth. Our Epsilon F1 is reacting like a rockstar to this nutrient fiesta, and I couldn't be prouder. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for the stellar genetics and the thoughtful pot, and major kudos to Aptus Holland for being the wizard behind the curtain, crafting nutrients that turn plants into botanical marvels. Stay tuned, dear readers, as we watch our Epsilon F1 continue its journey of botanical excellence. As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS EPSILON F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO
