Hello potheads, the reason to do this Journal is to register the grow results using a dirty cheap assembly, with low investment on equipment and hopefully without compromising results (LOL). The main reason to do this is bc I have tested previously the Bulbs when my last COB Panel failed right after two years and became void of guarantee, also, pandemics in my country made every attempts to delivery it to a technician almost impossible, so we had to improvise . Most of the used materials are accesible by home & groceries store (also online), the nutrients and seeds that are legacy from the previous project. The substrate is recycled and applied on 11 & 15lt Textpots. This is the reason also why there is a lite of lice or white fly plague on some plants that im trying to control with Aceite de Springhill by Anasac (locally branded paraffin oil). About nutrients: The reason to add Carbo & Sugar Is to stimulate beneficial bacterial life on the used soil.This also helps photosynthesis and root development in earlier stages. (ref: https://bigbudsmag.com/marijuana-carbohydrates-boost-roots-buds-thc ) Related to the strains: The G13 by GrowBarato Seeds: 2 Month Old AVG but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod (while waiting to cut other plants) , so they acted like revegged with the increase of hours. They're being trained with paper clips to become bushy & chonky units. (4/6 survived) Santa Bilbo by Genethik: 1 Month Old AVG , but they were germinated on 12/12 photoperiod, the nutrient deficiencies that show are bc they stayed on a 500cc cup for too much time and required transplant urgently, and now are recovering and generating vegetal mass AGAIN . The Reason that there are 2 plants in one pot its bc one was less vigorous, cursed, and against all odds, are recovering from stress shock & different carencies . ( 4/5 survived) Eleven Roses by Delicious Seeeds: 10 days Old (Germinated on 4/20/21 on 20/4 photoperiod). They r' fine, healthy Babies and growing on a steady rhytm . There are 8 because there are 2 spaces to fill , but also, they were backup in case all Santa Bilbo transplants failed miserably. For the last ones i need to select whose be transplanted to soil but that's a problem for future me, not me rn. I will VEG for the entire month of MAY in order to fill the spaces of the grow tent and try to update this diary at least once a week. Probably weekends. Finally, if there is something that it's hard to understand by choice of words or gramatical error , happy to receive feedback bc English its not my first language. Kind Regards.

These girls are looking so much happier since getting some overdue calmag.. Buds have grown a ton since last week and I'm a huge fan of the spacing.. Both the Gypsy-Kush plants look identical.. we cleaned the base of new growth on all plants and removed a few more large fans from around the tops.. Light penetration couldn't be better... The Solux350 is kicking ass! Its incredible how something so small (and at 75%) can light up an entire 4x4 .. these plants are getting plenty of light and at 14".. not too much else to report its been a stellar week!

hi growmies, this one is really bulking hard. taking over most of the box. she doesn't smell like a typical afghan anymore, very creamy. still amazing what you can do to these plants and they still recover from it. The buds on this one seemed very fluffy at the beginning, however this has starting to change know and they start swelling very nicely.

Candyman Day 22, Week 3 of veg! Will probably push 3 more weeks of veg until I flip 😬 The first plant (first pictures) seems a lot smaller then the other two 🤔 I've upped the lights to 50% intensity now. Second plant I've topped a set of lower branches aswell hopefully can start using my lst clips to train all three very soon. Last one seems a bit unhappy to me but still growing nicely. First couple branches only pushed out 3 finger leaves probably nothing just not noticed that before 🤷‍♂️🏼🤣 Update: I've just applied some LSTing so see how they look over next couple of days

5/1/2023 - Day 64 Flower: Beginning of week 10. Girls continue to fade. Dropped the light intensity one more notch to level 7 and keeping temps lower. Other than that, just watering as needed. 5/4/2023 - Day 67 Flower: watered with 4 gallons of water mixed with Coconut Powder. Seeing some pinks and more purple. Still not seeing much more amber tricomes, so I want to push these another week to 10 days.

Opened the door today and what a pleasant aroma I was treated too. I'm not getting a charcoal filter, haha. The streach really slowed down, looks like it is over. Lots of bud sites and they are starting to build nicely. Can't wait to harvest the others and get the ASD totally under the lights and spread them out a bit. Getting bold and decided to increased the nutrients, big mistake that was. Got leaf burn on the tips, looks like just water for awhile. Thinking four weeks of flower completed and another six to go. I feel I am in for a treat. Thanks for looking, Cheers

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence it’s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Monday’s Blue, it’s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

Week 3 of flower has come & gone without too much stress. Gave the ladies a big last defoliation to help with light penetration and airflow at end of week as they were pretty leafy Runoff was a lot lower than feed so have upped the nutes for this week. Blumats got blocked and have been a pain so whilst I'm not too busy with work over holidays will just hand water them. Pretty much no smell at all coming off them yet which is quite strange as normally by now all my other grows have been starting to, I'm sure it will come. 1st video is before big defoliation 2nd video is after Photo is 24hrs after big defoliation

dwarf is flowering nicely, was laying in the tent today listening to funky music and smoking :D couldnt get too many pictures because of bad lighting but took a nice little video of the trichomes :) started giving more nutrients as a friend told me flowering plants take up more water and phosphorus to produce buds :) gonna be like a kid on christmas day when i get my medicine harvested :D thanks for keeping up with the diary and the best of luck to you all! Day 52 - 29/10/19 Flushed the dwarf today along with my other plants, runoff had a ppm of 467 and ph 6.45. im going to try and get it closer to 6. with this plant being sprouting test ive come a long way and learned a lot :) its gonna be a small harvest, and is developing buds at a much smaller rate than the other two plants :) still im very excited. maybe week 10-11 harvest if im lucky haha. Day 53 - 30//10/19 Couldnt sleep at all as i have no buds left, after being restless in bed for 4 hours i got up and removed about 6-8 pistils from lower growth and rolled it up. almost the same quality high as street weed so im impressed :) taste was slightly harsh but man. finally happy to be on the road to good quality medicine:) il upsate soon with pictures of the plant! Day 54 - 31/10/19 Pictures and videos updated for all three of my diaries. im entirely happy with my hobby :) my Royal Dwarf is just flowering away on her own time, dont think theres long left for her now, maybe 3 weeks? check the videos and let me know what you think below in the comments! im not expecting this plant to grow any taller just to finish the buds for a nice little harvest :) finally shes developed enough to provide a smell and its much like a tropical fruit, something like a mango but i couldnt quite put my finger on it :) i love fruity smoke so roll on the last few weeks of flowering :) (i hope)

She is starting to getting fat, at the begginning of this week, it was raining, but in the middle of the week, sunny days are appearing, and she is loving it, drastically increased eating levels, in 1-2 days, lower leaves started to yellow, but i noticed soon and gave a good dose with 4ml/l Top BLoom + some carbohydrates, Top Candy 2ml/l, and now she is lovin it. That purple colours appearing...no words... Simply a blessing, even more beautiful :D Last videos are about what i think are Chemtrails, like ie said before, the week started with rainy days, but when the sun came, this kind of biodegradable material appeared again like it is usual, it could be identified as spiderwebs if you dont look closer, but when you touch it is like soap and disappears... Guys and Ladies, let me know what you think if you want to stick a comment :) Take Care GD !!!

Alright guys so last time we went from 1400 to 900 ppm only adding plain water She is doing great, developing more new buds and fattening those small pop con buds you get below where lights wont get thru with that much intensity.... Smells wicked good and should taste awesome once its dried and cured Im still going to week some more weeks I dont know if is the region but my plants over here since is always spring and SuMMer they tend to produce and last longer i just noticed because even tho we at week 15 they still growing new buds which is kind of amazing I still got one gorilla girl xl This one is going to grow using only LST / HST and defoliation at the latest Otherwise it will slow down production Learned the hard way with this strain My first one died the second one got eaten by a worm go figure and this third seed made it so far and when she was flowering I accidentally main line her, good thing duct tape was near me so I could help her heal and with so much caring she was finally up again and did not lose any buds but that took too much energy while pre flowering did not create many spots but good dense fat buds full of crystal and at least you get to see those impressive colors Thanks for giving me support Likes and comments are always welcome You can also suggest me things as well I am all ears brothers happy growing Follow me for more at the Instagram @cannagrowersiriuz Have fun P. S. ADDING MORE CONTENT AS IT GOES! Enjoy the videos and my thoughts about Gorilla Girl XL from sweet seeds At week 15 from seed Schedule 18/6
