09 May 2021 Today starts the 15th week of my grow, and the 6th week of flower. Just over a month till the scheduled harvest, and today the nutrient amounts change according to my feeding chart. So today feeding went like this: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. Today we aren’t using any of the FloraGro, and won’t be for the rest of the grow. I chilled the water again, but not as long this time and the temperature of the solution was 56.3 degrees F. I thought it odd that the website doesn’t allow for entries lower than 50 degrees in that block, but oh well. The initial pH was 5.89, and I added pH UP 2.5ml which adjusted the pH to 6.53. The runoff pH was 5.63. Lower than I want, but still within range for a healthy plant. Temperature in the tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was at 53%. The plant looks great, and is maturing quite nicely. 11 May 2021 Today was a busy day! My DarkStar Kush is doing very well! The smell is starting to get stronger and the buds are fattening up as well. I’ve noticed some mild nutrient burn on some of my leaf tips, but nothing terrible. I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure that they don’t get worse. I haven’t really made any adjustments to the nutrients lately with the exception of increasing the FloraBloom by 2.5ml’s, and stopped using the FloraGro in accordance with my feed chart. Feeding today went as follows: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom at 15ml. The initial pH was 5.85, so I added 3ml of pH UP to increase the pH to 6.52. The runoff pH was 5.65. I finally received my TDS meter today, so the TDS reading was 1070 ppm. My feed chart says that the ppm range in looking for is 1050-1400 ppm, so 1070 puts me in that range. I chilled the water again today, and it was 46 degrees F. The temperature in the grow tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. So far so good, and I’m starting two new diaries today for some clones I was gifted by Buddabud, so check them out. 13 May 2021 Just when I thought I was on cruise control with my baby here, she throws me a slow curve. The question is; will I hit it, or miss it? The light nutrient burn that I noticed in my last entry on the 11th has gotten just a small tad worse, but nothing terrible. I believe it’s not from the feeding, but the build up of nutrients in the soil. I finally got my TDS monitor as I noted the other day, so I tested the ppm in the runoff and it was over 4000. Then, as I was shaking the excess water off the end, the end cap for the battery came off and the whole monitor plunged back into the water completely submerging for a moment before I could get a hand free to grab it. It’s been sitting in a bowl of rice since yesterday. I just hope it dries out and keeps working. I need to see what the TDS of the soil at this stage is supposed to be and then either keep going and damn the burn, or maybe feed with pH’ed plain water for a feeding or two and then see how it reacts. I’m still deciding, but will research first before making my decision. For today I kept to the feed chart. I gave the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 5.92, so I added 2.5ml of pH UP which raised the pH to 6.47. That is what I fed the plant. The TDS reading of the feed solution was 1036 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.63. Tent temperature was 79 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. I have just about 4 weeks left in this grow till the scheduled harvest. 15 May 2021 Today is the last day of the 6th week of flower, and I’m going to try and arrest my mild nutrient burn on my baby. I’ve decided to just give water and CALiMAGic today properly pH’ed to see if it does anything to improve the situation. I wanted to have a significant amount of runoff today so I fed 1.5 gallons of water with 7.5ml of CALiMAGic. The initial pH was 7.60, but adding the pH DOWN is much different than adding pH UP! I initially added just 0.5ml to the gallon of water which lowered the pH from 7.60 to 4.9. I was like, “DAMN!” 😳 so I had to pour it all out and start over again. I learned through research never to mix pH UP and DOWN in the same solution. If it’s wrong, you need to start over;!so I did. After 3 tries and lots of wasted CALiMAGic, I finally got it right by only adding 5 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to get it to 6.64. The TDS meter dried out and still works, so the TDS going in was only 403ppm. Like I said, I wanted a lot of runoff to try and clear out some of the nutrient buildup in the soil. The runoff pH was 5.58, and runoff TDS was 3803 ppm. Daytime temp was high today at 86 degrees F, and humidity was 31%. She looks good. She smells good. I hope she stays good! A few weeks left till harvest!

En su 3 semana de cultivo exterior. Siento que se retrasó su crecimiento por el clima tan cambiante que tuvo la semana.. se realizó transplante a maceta de 7 litros para que pueda desarrollarse de mejor manera, durante la noche se mantienen en interior para mantener una temperatura más estable.. creo que van bien para ser mis primeras fem qué cultivo

I've been flushing my 2 big plants for about a week now. They've grown denser buds and the trichomes are becoming milky and I expect them to be fully grown in a couple of days (I want about 80% of trichomes to be milky). The other one is flowering nicely and I feed her everyday. The smell also shifted to a very pleasant lemon/citrus aroma and the test bud I took off last week also has really good taste when smoking.

Very happy with how this lady has performed, amazing quality buds, very sticky and dense flower with a concrete smell that I love so much, which is that kind of fruity sweet flavor that this lady is able to produce, it's been a beautiful journey, I'm gonna enjoy a lot this flowers. Very recomended guys!

Day 15: 👍🏾 Note: Plant closer to plant slower growth than the other. Day 18: 👍🏾 Day 21: 👍🏾 Note: Electric out for 2 days due to bad storm therefore plants are on balcony. They love their natural habitat.

Started adding the nutes at 1ml/l. Just using Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco A+B for veg, Will add in some molasses after any HST or defoliation (stress). Looking good so far.

Flower day 7ish Hey Growers I did a minor defoliation to remove the beastly fan leaves and the ones in the mud. I also did a bit more LST to even the canopy as much as possible. As it seems, I have no more control haha. One or 2 plants have stretched more than I’d have like but the entire canopy is pretty even. The SF4000 is about 8” off the top of the tent at 78%. They start to droop for end of day about 3 hours before lights out, I was concerned something was wrong as I’ve never really seen drooping that much in healthy plants. Just gonna keep cruising along and hopefully things will be good in the end. I’ll keep my eyes open for any problems. Happy Growing 🌱👍🏻

Coming into week 4. I have trellis netted for scrog . I like to trellis about a week before switching to flower in this space. Plants were 22 inches tall, after trellis net brought them back down to 12 inches tall.

J'ai pratiquer sur elles la défoliation extrême qui consiste a enlevé les grosse feuilles nourricière pour permettre une meilleure penétration de la lumière et de la circulation de l'air voyons ce que cela va donner au prochain épisode growers.

So, In the End of Week 11 we have harvested two of three Sensi Skunks. In the End of week 12 we harvested the last one (Sensi Skunk 2, day 83). In Total we had around 130g of trimmed wet buds from the three plants: – Sensi Skunk 1 30g wet buds – Sensi Skunk 2 40g wet buds – Sensi Skunk 3 63g wet buds Placed the trimmed buds in a dry net and dried them vor around 4-6 days before placing them in jars and ventilating them regularly. for now it seems to be around 25g in dry buds. Had hoped for a little more, but it was really bad weather so we think it's okay. smell is really nice! For next year, we have learned and will make things a little different. – will start way earlier in the year for more sunshine and better weather – pots were way to big, none of the plants needed so much space for their roots – next year will try 10l – maybe we will start different nutrient company. any suggestions? All around this was a very fun project! Loved how the plants looked and miss them already. The smell of the dry buds is already really nice and we are looking forward to test it. will update then!

5/4: She stretched a few inches. I'll tie down her tallest branches in the next couple of days and when they get to the third node, I'll top her again. I gave her a little water with myco, kelp, molasses, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. 5/6: I did a little LST on her today and fed her about a gallon of water with boomerang, grow big, big bloom, cal-mag, silica, and humic acid. This was the last time I'll give her any grow big or boomerang...there's plenty of good stuff to support good growth for at least a month in the Happy Frog dry fertilizer I'm using. 5/7: I foliar fed with big bloom, grow big, silica, fulvic acid, and molasses. 5/8: I did a foliar application of Axiom harpin proteins. 5/9: I did a foliar application of boom boom spray. 5/10: She's growing very well now, so I topped all her main shoots and tied them them down to encourage the lower branches to compete for apical dominance. I'll water her tomorrow if it doesn't rain. That's it for week 5

Day 49 Flip day! Just flipped them to 12/12 took loads of leaves off. Let's see if I've guessed the sex right then 😏 I think I've got 3 fems but people still tell me I want know until I've flipped 🤷‍♂️🏼 Update: Day 50 and day 1 of flower looking very happy will give a nice feed when soil dries out. Lights are now maxed out and on Day 51, day 2 of flower I'm sure all 3 are definitely fems will keep eye on them next few days 👀 Update again: Day 53, Day 4 of flower and they looking beautiful 😍

Tropical Storm Ian in the vicinity. Thankfully not much rain or wind so far. One midweek feed. Pots will need a while to dry out from all this rain. Hopefully no insect or mould/mildew damage.
