I've pretty much been hands off this grow. Just letting the plants do what they want. I did a spray with insecticidal Soap which shocked some of the auto genetics. Had some leaf loss but they are bouncing back. I saw one tiny fly and wasnt worth the shock some of the susceptible plants had. Lesson learned. I havent done much more than fimmed, topped, and lsted very lightly. Testing out fimming on autos. So far the lst only autos started flowering around day 23 to 25. The fimmed autos have stayed in veg much longer and were way more resilient. They are just starting to flower or show pistil. One of the Double Grape is showing completely different pheno than the other double grape. So much that I thought it might need 12/12 to flower. However it started showing pistils a day ago. Double grape responded very well to Fim and so did the northern lights big bud auto and purple scoops. I had problems with a driver on a brand new fc3000 blowing up, mars hydro sent me a replacement driver. They then wanted to squabble about replacing the plastic piece that connects the driver to the light. Two weeks later they sent the part after I told them I had to buy an HLG cause I couldnt believe they wouldnt send me a plastic part. Then the HLG I was sent was the 65 version not the 100 but they sent me the correct light right away and my plants and the clones loveeeed the HLG 100 v2. So much so that I bought the 65 version they sent by mistake and they gave me $10 bucks off for my troubles. Even though I had to be persistent with Mars Hydro they did do me right and now both my LEDs are working. However I had a 4 by 8 of plants all stacked on one end under 150 watts for weeks trying to get this solved. I had multiple power and light issues with adding the new 4 by 8 tent that costs my plants I'm sure. I decided not to freak about it and let things go with the flow and not stress. Things will not be optimum but I learn each grow about my setup and this is my first grow in soil so learning curves. I'm feeding very small amounts of calmag and seaweed extract in each watering which is every two to three days with ro water. I started this week three when the plants showed shock from the spray. It seemed to help them recover. I'm using light warrior, ocean forest and living soil layered mix. I kept 1 king tut, 3 alien tech clones which are doing good nice and rooted directly in light warrior. Transplanted week three in 3 gal pots. Never cloned before so is a learning process.

Her buds are getting huge. The trichomes are everywhere now and the smell is amazing. I had to add a lot of string just to support the branches. This strain is growing so incredible, I love it. I wish I had more of this strain. It was my only seed for now. Very happy (10/10)

Update - 4th July 2021 Just still flushing away. The colours that are coming out are crazy. I have edited some pics but not videos and the videos dont really pick up the colour. Its strange that it started completely green and then went darker and darker until it reached purple buds covered in trichomes. I am planning on harvesting both this plant and the purple punch today or tomorrow depending on when i can be bothered lol Tbh, its not hard because i dry trim so it's just a case of plucking off the fan leaves and hanging it in different branches.

She's staying short & bushy naturally but I still topped & defoliated. I topped and defoliated every plant. I'm trying to form them into canna-bushes. Hopefully I'm doing the correct training procedures to make them all grow that way both indoors and out.

Sep 21: fall is here with 12 h of darkness and red tinted sunlight both of which help with flowering. One problem with growing dope here is the UV light is weak this far North in the fall so for most people it鈥檚 better to just do autos outdoors and timing it so they ripen during the stronger summer sun and you鈥檙e done by the end of August. But if you want reliable big yields these fast flowering photoperiods are definitely the best choice. Sep 23: seems a bit off colour so I added some Alaska Fish Fertilizer for N. Always warming the water to about 26C these days to help keep the plant and soil bacteria warm and happy. Sep 25: this plant and Bruce both got blown over twice today. This is because the small 5 gallon bags aren鈥檛 big and heavy enough. The plants are fine. Oh well, the advantage is that I can move them around easily to maximize direct sun. Don鈥檛 take flash pics of your plants unless you鈥檙e going to immediately use a 730 nm far red light to put the plants into dark mode. It鈥檚 a great trick as a bloom booster and moves up finishing time here by a couple or three weeks. Sep 27: harvest will be tomorrow because of some bad weather moving in. Tomorrow will be okay but then rain and cold overnight and even snow forecast for late next week. C鈥檈st La vie.

Seems Strawberry will stretch a bit and C-Vibez ) started producing budsites. Trying to lighty defoliate this week and focus on reducing nutrients cause ppm runoff is 1000. I realized this week as I am using RO water I need to supplement more calcium/ magnesium and as all plants were transplanted from BioBizz Lightmix to BioBizz Allmix they all have lot of nutrients in soil. I will just sprinkle a little bit of epsom salt , add low amount of calmag to water with very low amount of REMO nutrients, pH to 6.2 and that is it. Usually I used much lower REMO or BioBizz dosages based on my feeling but then my last diary ( 4 Dutch passion) I had very bad grow. Those 4 plants were transplanted to soil from previous grow ( BioBizz Lightmix + Allmix) to big pots as seedlings so it was hard to measure runoff and ppm of soil spec earlier in the veg. So for this grow my mindset was to follow the charts as much as possible so after 4 weeks of seedling phase in BioBizz Lightmix I transplanted into 18 L AllMix and also started feeding remo in lower dosage but proceeded to increase dosage to remo schedule dosage in a month of veg. I will try to water till runoff and measure to not make same stupid mistakes. Also soon I will be trying Dogma Organic SuperSoil and I will try to compare same genetics in soil with nutrients, dwc and supersoil. My understanding is that using straight RO water in living soil can be problematic so I will keep in mind that factor. My RO filter on the tap has mineralization it comes out 50 ppm. Clones will soon be ready for transplant, I am planning to keep only few alive as I will not have space for all of them, both tents will be available for flower of these clones in around 2 months so plan is to veg few of them in soil and two of them in my DWC setup until Flower tents are ready. HEIGHT Strawberry Cough (80 cm after SCROG) C-Vibez (55 cm after SCROG #2 Strawberry Cough (50 cm after SCROG) First watering 2. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 600 pm 6.2 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough 5 L 470 ppm 6.4 ph RUNOFF: 6.6 ph 1000 ppm Strawberry Cough #2 in 40L pot is still heavy and I will just water around the plant a little with very light dose of nutrients and sprinkled little epsom salts Second watering 5. day of the week: C-Vibez 6 L 400 pm 6 ph RUNOFF: 6.5 ph 1000 ppm measured runoff only in this one Strawberry Cough 5 L 400 ppm 6.2 ph Strawberry Cough #2 mixed 7 L 330 ppm 6.5 ph that i will likely water till end of the week.

Sweet afgani #1 64gr Sweet afgani #2 58gr Admittedly, I was expecting more dry weight, but the bud quality is ideal.

Well I got my Mars TS1000 and 2x2 tent and I'm replacing the TS1000 with HLG 135w QBB288 V2 rspec! I like the TS1000 but I wanted something to handle flower better and I've ready so many solid reviews for HLG products, plus they are local to me in Canada. I also decided I need some more room so I'm swapping my tent from a 2x2x4 to a 2x2x4.7 for a bit of extra height. The plant seems to be loving the new space, my new baby (RQS Royal Cheese freebie) is growing a lot faster under this light, new diary coming up!

This week was interesting! Most if not all of the internodes have begun forming small preflowers. There is no white hair yet but I鈥檓 still hopeful that the plant is indeed female. The inner and new growths look healthy and strong. I鈥檝e started using volcanic dust/dirt in my water to give the plant some more nutrients and it seems to really like the new mix. Still using egg shells and coffee grinds (having to use a whole lot as the pot is huge)) so far so good!

Plant looking OK with signs of pre-flowering. All LST'd stems almost fully over pot edge and nodes on the stems developing well. All plants currently growing seem smaller when I compare the pics to my previous grows at the same age. Only one feed this this past week as I allowed the pots to dry out from the rain in the previous week. Supplemented feed yesterday with my Beneficial Booster. I made a mistake when preparing and put in double the amount of molasses but the plants seem to be tolerating it so far this morning.

DRIED UP AN ORANGE PEEL IN THE OVEN. THEN GOUND IT UP IN A COFFEE GRINDER AND TOP DRESSED ON DAY 8. MIXED UP A VERY VERY GOOD CUSTOM BLEND OF MEDIUM ON DAY 13 AND TRANSPLANTED. MISTED THE MEDIUM AND THE SEEDLING AFTER THE TRANSPLANT. WEATHER HAS BEEN COOL AND WINDY WITH NO ISSUES SO FAR. PLEASE COME AGAIN!馃槑
