Two weeks of !2/12 done. Everything is going fine. My lamp is on full whack with the reds switched on, the UVA has always been on. This week I have got to keep a close eye on my run off for PH and C/f. The pond activator starts decomposing any bits of dead root, plant root excretions, even the coco itself. This results in a big jump in C/f and PH. The broad spectrum of bugs push the PH up but I stay on top of it with daily high volume run to waste using light Nutes at PH 5, by doing this the more Acidic tolerant bugs get the upper hand and after a week or so my PH will stabilise and I can cut down on the volumes of liquid I am putting through the pots. Whatever is in the activator does the job I want it to. It is a bit of a ball-ache to stabilise but after that, it is a dream. Why you may ask don't I use one of the many specific cannabis inoculations. For one Cost, an £8 250ml bottle will last me for a thousand years, cuts out the need for all the crap the industry tries to sell you! Also our little dancing friends, the Fungus Gnats do not like it. I get the odd one but no colony build up. Also I have not had any systemic infections in my pots since I started using it. (at least 10 years). I have thought about Infecting a glucose solution with it, then stabilising it to favour acid conditions and using that, so I don't have to monitor the first week so closely, but I'm a stoner and I can't be arsed. I have not tried pond activator in anything but Coco. I could see problems in soil regarding control. I would deffo try in full hydo though. The outdoor plant is a chemdogging S1 it germed out in the garden in a pot I thew in the garden last Autumn. A few had popped up only this one survived the bit of snow and minus temp's of three weeks ago. I lifted it threw it in a 5 litre pot in the greenhouse. I am curious about this plant as I have a number of seed from a reversed CD. I wasn't planning to start germing outdoors for a few weeks yet, but nature has jumped the gun. Today I have the secateurs out and will start taking out the bottom branches on the plants, also inspect for bollox on everything especially the ghost trains. I did say I would get plants out and photo them, but nothing needs moving, I can leave my bending till the last as my tent is 2.2 mtrs tall so I still have a bit of room to play with. In vid the back row left to right. Wedding Cake - Bit leggy and twiggy at this stage. Main cola branch is bent over but not tied down. By the time it gets back up, the other branches will have promoted themselves a bit. This plant has good girth and its habit is very similar to a USA cut I have grown. Difficult to clone relative to the others plants in this mother hunt. 14 days every other plant clone is in a pot and feeding, wedding cake is still in the starter blocks showing nothing. Back and centre, Orangesicle Looks and grows like French Cookies, it's parent ( I have a Mother FC in another universe) A nice looking plant which fimmed well, It is the smelliest plant in the grow with a very distinct Orange aroma. 4 cuts all feeding within 14 days this plant has vigour. Back right. Maltezerz. I like the look of this plant, Habit is similar to it's GG4 parent, I am expecting a yield of this plant. It has the stem and the right look. It does have a slight chocolat Hashy smell. Easy clone. Centre left. Blue Sherbelato. Did not like being fimmed or pinched out. Did that Hazy thing where the stem stretches at the node and promotes a main growing tip out of the two or four Meristems. 2nd slowest to clone, I dont have high expectations for this plant. Centre Mid. Ghost Train Number 2 . A little weed compared to the other ghost trains. Though they are 10 days younger than the rest of the grow 1,3, and 4 have overtaken size wise the other plants in tent. I may have to get it a crate to sit on otherwise it will get swamped. It cut ok . I won't dispose of the cuts just yet. The strongest green I ever smoked came from a little weedy plant. Centre right. GTH3, Big Skunky looking plant, Long internodes, Massive leaves Another plant that didn't like pinching out. Front left GTH1 Classic Haze shape it has been bent and topped and weaved in an out of itself. Cut easy. Front Centre, GTH4, The plant with weird growth. I thought this was male for a long time. It really looks a nice plant Easy cut. Front right Scotts OG. Nice vigorous plant. 'Well behaved'. It has a smell, Spicy Hash and Cookies, interesting. Easy clone. I have A male Scotts OG, Smells very similar, He's still in a 5 inch pot and getting fed up!

Northern Dragon Fuel has been growing good. She has gotten really hungry m, which caused my ph to start tracking upward. I have flushed it back down, and increased feed. Beside that it looks like flowering is right around the corner. Thank you Super Sativa Seed Club, and Medic Grow. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

26/10/20 - The mutated plant topped itself and then recovered. Shame to see this touch little girl go, but there's no room in the tent :'( Some slight pH issues, sorted with a new pH pen. 01/11/20 - Rearranged space to get better access to all plants.

Feb 25 Miss Mia Wallace is growing nicely! See images Feb 19. I had a bad day. In general. Whoever is in charge of autocorrect on iOS update is either on GrowDiaries (in which case, bravo and what strain are you growing) or should be auto-canned. Anyhoo Miss Mia Wallace. Buds are boomin. Did a NPK treat. *TEST And looks a little low on nutes but otherwise ok. Agree? Comments on this? Would love feedback. The scrog net - installed by the autocorrect person as it turns out - still sloppy but doing its job. Turned down the power on the quantum board. Is intensely of the light the same as distance? Help! More to come after (*later) in the week. Took some vids also. Have a great day folks!

Did a full leaf strip on everything this week, the pics and videos were taken 2 days ago I just havnt got around to uploading them. Everything bounced right back after the strip but the pots arent drying out as fast and humidity went down a little bit. Use the code bangdang for 10% the following sponsors.. @greenbuzzliquids @rainscience_growbags  @gorilla_grow_tent  @growlightscience.led

Set up an evaporative cooler to act as an intake and to cool the temp through evaporation. It I was able to get the average temperature down to an average of 77°. Relative Humidity increased to an average of 55%. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evaporative Cooler: The evaporative cooler was way bigger than I thought and blowing all the air into the tent would be overkill and would throw off my ventilation given that I only have a 4inch exhaust fan blowing air out. So I had to rig an air duct onto the front to channel some, but not all, of the air coming from the evaporative cooler. I cut a hole in a plastic brownie box and zip tied right angle plate that I had leftover from an ikea furniture. Then I put velcro tape to easily attach and remove the air duct from the cooler for future maintentance and cleaning. I left the room where my tent is closed one day and the humidity went up to 84% which also increased the temperature to 90° but I found that simply leaving the room door open gives the cooler enough air circulation in order to function properly and averaged out at 55% RH and 77° F. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Defoliated some ugly fan leaves that were shading a lot of lower buds.

Hey guys ✋🏻 it‘s start of week 5 and day 26 of growing for the plants. Today I switched the light to a 12:12 schedule and put up a scrog net. Since my light gets more intense in the middle I build it this way. In the end I hope that all the buds get the same amount of DLI. Starting Flower the plants will need a bit more nutriens during the stretching. I will tug them under the net everytime they grow out of it. But they have to reach it first. I hope they transition well and during the night I will keep the tent as dark as I can by making my living space dark as well. We‘ll see how this week progresses. Happy sunday growmies 💪🏻 Update: today (D29) I watered Nr.1 and Nr.3, since they didn‘t need water yesterday. The EC of Nr. 3 and Nr. 2 were around 2.0 wich is good but Nr.1 had an EC of 6.0!! I think she doesn‘t need as much food as the other two because shes smaller. I watered enough so the EC went down to ≈3.0. I‘m also beginning to tug some shoots under the net but they all will need to reach up. I hope this doesn‘t end in chaos. Thats all, c ya soon🌿

Both are really shooting up. I’m noticing a real difference between using 5 gal pots vs larger containers. Planter size has a huge impact on plant size as one would assume.. But, does it have any impact on quality? I guess we will find out in a few months. Again, learning and experiments. Sooo soo hot… was afraid they would show signs of fatigue but they were good..not really trying to push dry back too much in these temps 6/27 saw signs of caterpillars and accidentally broke off an upper branch
