Ok week 3. I need to step away this is turning into an obsession. So I set the temp to max out at 76 degrees- the plants seem to enjoy that temp a lot more. At one point you could definitely tell the plants were maxing out on nitrates but after doing some research I found out its normal when using slow release fertilizer. Since I was overwatering my plants I’ve let them relax and start to water every three days in less amounts. I'm going to start LST tomorrow- hopefully. I purchased another LED. Optic LED had a black friday sale so I thought i’d pick up one of those…. Still kinda pricey but I’m hoping it's worth it. I guess the light arrived at my house earlier today but apparently I was sleeping so they took it back. I'll have to pick that light up later tonight. I’m going to add the new Optic LED when my plants start flowering. Till next week.

Been working on getting rid of the purple stems. She seemed super happy today. Not a ton of noticable stretching going on with her. She looks really nice so far. I haven't noticed many pistils yet. Been about 8 days since 12/12 Worms are living in the soil and seem happy. Stretching her out more.

Día 13/10/20 día 37 de floración Nuestras nenas continúan estables, el único cambio es la bajada de temperaturas, sobretodo de noche aunque con la ayuda de un calefactor la mantenemos en 23 grados. Poco a poco los días pasan y se va a cercando el lavado de raíces, por lo que ya no subiremos demasiado la ec de las niñas, no te lo pierdas!! Día 15/10/20 día 39 de floración Continuamos vigilando las nenas, hoy ha tocado una inspección detenida y un aspirado de la sala para minimizar riesgos. Por otro lado la nutrición sin cambios, sigo con el riego por goteo programado para riegos de 1,5 min cada. 6 horas durante el día. Ahora solo falta seguir controlando a espera de cosechar los resultados, te lo vas a perder?? Día 17/10/20 día 41 de floración Hoy rellenamos el tanque de nutrición, al final se queda con 1.85 ec y 6.1 de ph, esta será la ec más elevada que utilizaremos en nuestro cultivo. La mantendremos así durante unos días hasta que toque hacer el lavado de raíces para asegurarnos de cosechas unas flores con un aroma y sabor sin contaminantes (algo de lo que ya nos aseguramos desde un principio al utilizar zyco)

Seem to be early foxtailing as a result of the heat and humidity.

Giorno 42. Peccato per una watermelon zkittlez che non sta bene. Lavo terreno e ricomincio da metà dose levando le foglie malate

I’m going to end this grow diary here. During the later stage, I went through a mental breakdown and kind of lost focus on life for a while. I’ll upload whatever photos I still have, but I didn’t get my friend to help take proper photos because he was dealing with military conscription at that time. I feel genuinely sorry to the sponsors who provided the seeds. I promised to complete the grow diary for them, and I broke that promise. I tried to save some branches, but they didn’t survive. I don’t have any excuses for this. If I get another chance in the future, I’ll buy their seeds myself and grow them again properly

Got a little hot outside this week again and temps in the tents reached a high of 92. They hovered around 85-88 most of the time, and nighttime temps around 75. The plants have been loving the tropical like environments, and in fact showing less signs of stress now they are in warmer temps. I got my magnesium dialed back in with a few applications of Epsom Salt. The pants drank twice as normal this week. I also gave them a feeding with my fermented fruit juice I made and they seem to be loving it. I got a new bottle of cal-mag and does not seem to be as acidic, so i can add a little more than I was without it ruining my ph. It too about 15ml per gallon of the FFJ to Ph my water down form 7.8 to 6.5. I tested it before use and its PH is around 2.5. Between the Epsom salt, FFJ, and kelp. The plants are really starting to bounce back from their slight unhappiness. They are all looking near 100 percent health. At the end of the week they are are raging and praying to the light like theirs no tomorrow. Glowing vibrant lush green, the buds are also already a decent size for only being week 2. The plants and in much need of some defoliation but I will wait one more week after stretch to get that taken care of. The dehumidifier running during night cycle has been keeping things in check. The clones rooted and I potted them up to 1 gallon so I now have small moms. I got new worms and my worm bins cleaned out and set up again. Each of the 65 gallon pots got a small ball of worms added to the top soil to get the worm populations growing in them again. I was hoping those casting I added a few weeks ago with added worm eggs would hatch some but no luck so i just got some from Uncle Jim's worm farm.

Flipped to 12/12 at the end of Week 7. The manganese issue seems to have been solved by lowering the pH levels. Ordinarily I'd strip most everything below the net this week, but a friend asked me to leave him some clippings until week 2-3 of flower. I cleaned it up a little underneath the net, continued to tuck new growth, and started to slack back on grow nutes, and slowly introduce flower nutrients. I was hoping to have a second Aglex 2000 COB LED to add to the tent for flower, but it may be another week or two before I can add it.

Wow well she does look sorry for herself. A couple of days ago I sprayed her with pesticide. This has damaged her leaves. I hope she can bounce back from this as it's a critical time in her growth.

Fade colors are really starting to push through Fed with nutrients: 5/7/25 Fed with ph water at 6.5 : 5/11/25 Fed with nutrients 5/12/25

I accidentally gave the babies a drink mixed with a shot of dehumidifier chemicals. I mean, there’s stiff learning curves being a first time grower but that is just thick as pig shit territory. It only dawned on me the next day and I rapidly flushed. Think the orange bud is looking a little healthier, but they are both hanging in there. Chemicalicious.

I have been super excited with everything up to this point . I have made all my preparations that I think need to be made and did some trial runs on my environment. I starting preparing around the 15th of January and my set up was complete around the 19th of February. I spaced my purchases out based on budget constraints. I wanted a cheap and efficient grow area. Some thing I paid more for because through all the research I did I felt quality was more important. If you are as excited as I was, you get pretty anxious when awaiting order status when you first order your seeds. You should remember you are ordering from an online seed bank not amazon. Most work Monday - Friday and are in a complete different time zone. I ordered my seeds from seed supreme Seedbank. I placed my order on 31 January and mailed money as directed. This was the scariest part for me especially when I didn’t hear anything back. I finally received a email on the 12th if February saying my invoice was paid and then subsequently mailed out on the 15th and I received on the 20th. One thing I would like to note that recommend to anyone mail cash is to make sure you spend the extra cash and track your payment. I’m currently germinating all five GSC I received I placed them in water for the first 24 hours and then a paper towel for approximately 40 Hours. I’ll add links to most of the items I purchased below. Some items I purchased through offer up and let it go app to save money.

Day 2 - 2/24/19: Nothing new to report no activity on the surface, misted watering at 5.8 PH. Day 3 - 2/25/19: Plant number 1 which had the longest tap root broke the surface I started a time lapse on it to cover the first moments of birth 😭 daddy is already so proud lmao. I have another light watering today with my humidity domes on, the intent is to have the plants roots work to get the required water and hopefully promote root growth. I also added 1ml of Rapid start and diluted into 1 gal. Day 4 - 2/26/19: Checked the status this morning prior to work and two more have reached the surface only two more remaining which I suspect will reach by the time I make it home from work. Misted this morning pot was looking pretty dry with the exception of the humidity domes, which I removed on all the sprouted seedling. I intend on shifting to a 20 on 4 off cycle and starting my other fans. Day 5 - 2/27/19: All five plants have broke the surface. I did a normal watering this am still utilizing the dome to avoid watering on top of the plants. I lowered the light again some of the early sprouters we stretching a little more than I wanted and appeared leggy to me. Day 6 - 2/28/19: Nothing really to report today. Excited for the name reveal tomorrow. I did a light watering. I played around with my ppm meter and ec I definitely plan on using in conjunction with my first feeding this weekend. Day 7 - 3/1/19: Was watering this morning normal levels. I also mixed a new feed to be ready for them tomorrow. While I was watering # 5 fell over I accidentally tipped it with the spout. I grabbed some left over soul to help prop it up hopefully she is ok.

-07.04.2025 Today is the day. After a thorough examination of the trichomes, I decided to harvest one of the two Royal Critical Automatic. After a total of eleven weeks. The wet weight of the flowers of Royal Critical #1 = 81 grams, The second Royal Critical Automatic was harvested 3 days later on 10.04.2025. The wet weight of flower of the second Royal Critical #2 = 90grams. The flowers are now hung out to dry and will be weighed again in 7days. -16.04.2025 After 9 days the Royal Critical Automatics are dry. The branches broke directly when bent with a nice cracking sound. The dry weight of both plants together is 41g. The flowers were stored in jars for curing with a humidity packet from IntegraTM and a hydrometer. Total Time: 1879,36h Total Energy: 326,30kWh 1kWh: 0,30€ Energy Cost total: 97,89€ 💚

Planted on dec 10th have some health grow and stretch for 4 days above ground

Looks healthy and strong I think, I maybe transplanted into main pot about 5-7 days to early but its recovering now, next water im going to switch from the root it feed to the growth stage vegging feed I have,

9cm vertical growth this week. Lots and lots of flower sites. 😎 Very bushy. Very Kushy 😂 😍
