So a few days after I did the leaf strip I noticed that on the 2 smaller plants that there was a bit of yellowing in the leaves. So I pulled a all nighter to see if the tent was getting hot as I was running both a SF-4000 and SF-2000 in a 4x4 tent. The tent wasn't getting to hot, think it peeked at 26.5c, less then what my 3x3 tent was getting up to. The only 2 thing I could think was causing the issue was the reservoir temperatures because it was dropping down to 17.5c or the light intensity. So I removed the SF-2000 and ordered a 50w tank heater. The reservoir temperatures are now staying between 22c and 24c and aren't fluctuating as bad as it was before. The tent temperature has lowered a bit after removing the SF-2000. I also sprayed them down with a mix of 500ml water and .5ml of Advanced Nutrients Revive to see if it helped at all. Now since I've made all these changes I haven't noticed if it's gotten any better, bit it doesn't look like it's gotten any worse yet also. All I know is this well definitely effect my overall yeild of my plants. Oddly the only one that doesn't look effected by what's going on is the tallest plant in the tent. Sizes B.C #1 - 41" B.C #2 - 38" B.C #3 - 33" B.C #4 - 29" B.C#4 is the one that looks the worst rite now and has been the runt since day 1. B.C#2 might be the second tallest but it's showing a lot of stress rite now. It went from looking really good, to yellow, upwards claw leaves in just a few short days. Well that's everything for now. Happy growing everyone

@MephistoGenetics, Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable environment in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 10 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in paper towel and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle will turn out. Illuminauto 21 - Sour Crinkle (Grape Crinkle x Sour Crack) Two of our fastest and frostiest varieties collide to make a sweet and sour delight! Expect super frosty, compact nugs that won't be a toke for novices. Destined to be a great strain for extraction work too! Plant size - Small - Medium Cycle time - 60-65 days from sprout Indica/Sativa - 80/20 Frost level - Extra Ridiculous https://www.mephistogenetics.com/product-page/illuminauto-21-sour-crinkle ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-21.

Growing some seeds I won from Diary of the Month here on Grow Diaries!!! I'm so grateful and excited for another learning experience doing what I love! Thank you, FastBuds! 🙏 Seed was germinated directly in Rapid Rooter placed in a seedling tray. I put her in darkness for 48 hours and then in a sunny window. Three days later, the seedling's little head poked up and the next day she showed me her first true leaves - calling this day 1. I kept the seedling tray in a sunny window and brought her outside for lunch on my sunny deck with me for the rest of the week. Given the heatwave we were having here, I got her settled into her net basket sooner rather than later so that she could have a more stable environment. This plant will is being grown indoors in an 2x4x8 Gorilla Grow Tent using an 8 gallon Current Culture Solo Bucket under California Lightworks 550 Solar System LED. For grow media I am using clay pellets and I use the entire Cultured Solutions line of nutrients. I will be showcasing this plant in a grow tutorial over on my YouTube channel and IGTV where I am going to show a detailed walk through of how I grew my original "Budzilla" plant. Unfortunately, I don't have a grow diary for her, but she is featured on my IG account. The technique I use I created after harvesting my first grow. I had used low stress training on an autoflower and achieved beautiful results. I took notes the entire grow and conducted a postmortem. I sincerely advise doing this for EVERY grow - especially when you are learning. It provides you opportunity to figure out what went right, what went wrong, what could have gone better, and what ideas you think you can toss into the mix to try to improve on the places that need revamping. I did this and I came up with the hypothesis of starting my plant off-center in the net basket, and then growing it low and in a spiral around the outside. In my head, I thought something like this could really push the limits of low stress training, especially when used on an autoflower where we have a limited time of vegetative growth. I didn't realize, at the time, JUST how effective the technique would be, but when the grower community on IG exploded over the sight of my plant, I started to get a feeling a did something right. As I was still only growing my second plant in my entire grow career, I was completely oblivious to the fact that I had pushed the normal boundaries of an autoflower.... I had nothing else to really compare it to. Nearly a year later, photos of my Budzilla are still being shared around social media in the grow community and I still get asked regularly about how I grew her. And with that, we start here on the journey to attempt the recreation of my former masterpiece. But I'm taking it one step further and giving you a detailed, step-by-step guide so that even the newest of growers can follow along and learn how to push an autoflower to its beautiful edge. Plus.... It's really freaking cool to bonsai a plant 😎. Anyway, please feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel! The link is in my bio! I am updating as I go along! Thanks for growing with me! ✌️💜🌱🙏

GENERAL COMMENT. WEEK 5 OF FLOWER. Ok guys, this week ran ok for one girl and less for her sister, so i will go on details individually. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTOMATIC COMMENT. As I has commenting since the beginning I think this could be a nice strain to grow with minimal water and nutes, keep that in mind when growing this strain, i learned the hard way. What happened with this girl is that salt builded up in the medium and de stabilised mainly the PH, creating a super acidic medium, thats my bad, i failed to id earlier. So back to spotting, and a bit of yellowing showing, so some deficiencies, i honestly don’t know how this is going to end. I flushed her 4 days a go with PH water to 6.5, that raised the medium runoff from 5.0 to 5.4-5.6, and flushed again with tap water, is alkaline at 8.1+, runoff is still 5.6, so that raised more concern with that input range getting so acidic runoff is bad, and in the end of flush received a dose of voodoo juice, big bloom, calmag and top candy, that are all organic at regular ph, EC at 1.8. I know the PH fluctuation can worse the scenario. I’m been apocalyptic is just that i’m feeling a bit turn down now, i was expecting this girl to run flawlessly, heads up will try my best to correct issues, just wished she was like her sister…

Encarando ya la recta final. Calculo que en una semana y unos pocos días más cómo mucho cortaré. Al principio de semana di su última comida con Ec baja y a mitad de esta hice el lavado de raíces, drenando un agua con Ec ya aceptable, con lo que presagio que va a tener buen nivel de sabor. Les estoy haciendo pasar ya bastante frío, buscando un extra de resina; con lo que se está llenando de colores. Estaba un tanto preocupado con los cogollos porque no los notaba demasiado apretados, pero en esta semana lo han hecho y mucho. Espero esta semana terminen de apretar como rocas. Comienza la cuenta atrás, tic tac, tic tac…

Bewässerung: 30000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der ein und zwanzigste Woche pH-Wert: 6,3 EC-Wert: 1,6 mS/cm Temperatur: 24ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 60% Schädlingsbekämpfung: / Düngemittel: Sie bekommen ab jetzt Brenneseljauche da sie im Outdoor Bereich ist. Besonderheiten: Der Boden um den still herum wurde mit Holzasche behandelt gegen Meltau. -Tag 136 die Membrana sieht sehr gut aus nach der Entlaubung und wir denken dass der stretch auch vorbei ist, die oberen Colas sehe heute dicker aus 😜 -Tag 137 Heute haben wir sie gegossen mit ca. 30l Wasser und 3l Brenneseljauche 😎 -Tag 141 Unsere Monster sieht gut aus, hat aber ein paar Probleme. Einige Blüten sind von Pilzbefall betroffen, deshalb schneiden wir sie ab. Außerdem haben wir an den Spitzen rote Spinnmilben gefunden. Noch sind es nicht allzu viele, aber sicherheitshalber schlagen wir mit Phytoseilus Persimilis zurück. Die einzige, die das Recht hat, die Membran zu fressen, ist die Raupe, die sich bereits daran erfreut. Ansonsten haben wir sie heute wieder mit Jauche gegossen, diesmal auch mit Schachtelhalm 😌

2 plants made it to harvest. Small nugs, about an ounce per plant dry. A lot of frosty trim and small nugs I’ll be using for hash later. I had rooting issue when I flipped to flower that definitely negatively effected nutrient uptake. Small yield but quality is good. Smells almost like a sugary jelly bakery. Cured for a week, tastes sweet almost.

There are no photos for a few days, I was away on a short vacation :) when I returned, I immediately started working with her, I cut off the single leaves, and used a little LST, Overall, the girl looks really beautiful;) strong, thick branches, I think she will give really tasty buds :) It is an autoflower, but it is not blooming yet, I think it will start soon, all my auto strains that I have grown before, started really earlier, but it is not a problem for me, and maybe even + she will be bigger with bigger flowers :) good luck to everyone :).

This plant is growing well, I transplanted them this week into 3 gallon pots from 1 gallon pots. Structure on this plant is pretty nice and visually pleasing to the eye lol.
