📋 Grow Diaries: Week 12 Log – The Organic Pivot The Durban Poison crew DP1, DP4, DP5, and DP6 is officially off the bottle. Running short on liquid vegetative nutrients forced a shift in the garden strategy, and the decision was made to ditch the synthetic/liquid lines completely in favor of a 100% organic, microbe-rich regimen. The immediate explosion of new vegetative tops proving that these pure sativa genetics thrive when fed naturally on the deck. The Feeding Regimen: Castings & Kelp The Top-Dress:** Two days ago, the entire quartet received a heavy top-dressing of pure worm castings across their 25-gallon root zones, providing a slow-release blanket of nitrogen, micronutrients, and humic acids. Today's Feeding: Followed up today with a rich sea kelp drench. The liquid kelp acts as a perfect complement to the castings, packing the soil with natural cytokinins and auxins to stimulate lateral branching and provide environmental stress protection against the intense high-plains UV and wind. The Reaction: The response was instantaneous. New tops are aggressively forming across all four canopies, pushing vibrant, healthy green growth from the inner nodes outward. 🌿 Individual Plant Progress & Observations DP1 (The Lattice Frontier) Satus: The central shoots have officially reached the lower edge of the bamboo-mounted elastic lattice. She isn't quite tall enough to begin tucking horizontally yet, so the plan is to let her poke through by 2–3 inches before naturally guiding her growth outward to open up the canopy space. DP4 (The Main-Line Grid) Status: Symmetrical tops are reaching straight for the sky next to the railing irrigation hub. The kelp feeding today is providing excellent structural flexibility to the main stems, preparing them beautifully to expand into the lower grid squares. DP6 (The Low-Stress Explosion) Status:Displaying phenomenal reaction to the new organic diet. Tied down aggressively with twine to the fabric pot handles, the flattened canopy has allowed the worm castings and kelp to force hidden lower nodes straight to the surface, creating an incredibly bushy profile loaded with fresh tops. DP5 (The Canopy Leader) Status: Massive, dense, and wide. DP5 is completely capitalizing on the 25-gallon container volume, showing thick stalks and wide fan leaves that are taking full advantage of today's microbial wash. ⚙️ Deck Infrastructure & Logistics Status:*The entire layout is locked in. The automated watering lines are perfectly dialed to wash the top-dressed nutrients down into the pots, the wheeled dollies are making plant rotation effortless, and the companion marigolds are holding down pest security on the perimeter. The large white mixing bucket is staying active at the ready for the organic tea brews. Grower's Note: Moving away from liquid nutrients was a forced play, but the sheer speed at which these plants are forming new tops demonstrates that living soil biology is exactly what this Durban Poison lineage wanted. Canopy training will continue as they naturally expand into their spaces next week. Update 6.6.2026: Recieved a camera to keep a close eye on the girls. 😳💪

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , this grill really has grown right out this week and is unrecognisable from the plant just a few days ago , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

What up Fam, I apologize for the late update. Been away for 2 weeks from the ladies and my son who was watching them did amazing, as I came back to an absolute forest. The plants almost doubled in size which is crazy the growth they had while I was gone. I started adding bloom nutes and did a defoliation and lollipop this week. I'd normally start my training around week 3 but over all they're happy and healthy as can be. Let's Go Happy Growing.

35 dias de actividad en el indoor, foto periodo de 20 horas de luz y 4 de oscuridad

Northern Lights is really starting to take off. She's growing so fast, and her leaves are finally getting that deep, dark green color I love. I can almost imagine her soaking up all that beautiful sunlight. I think I'll need to repot her soon, this pot's looking a little cramped. I can't wait to see how big she gets by the end of the summer!

Keeling on top of training and trying to full my scrog

Que pasa familia, vamos con la octava semana de floración de estas Gorilla Zkittlez Auto de FastBuds. Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2, regando cada 48/72 horas e intentando mantener la humedad un poco alta al principio. Se ven bien sanas ya en la recta final y no puedo quejarme, no tienen malos aromas,esta semana vemos como terminan de madurar las flores. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨

High temperatures and nutrient burn. At this point i have no idea what i am doing. Every now and then SD2 and SD3 release typical weed smell but apart from that no other smell. The stems upon rubbing and touching smell like cinammon,cloves and orange zest.It reminds me of fanta drink.

wow look at dat!! dat plant is now da size of da husbands love hammer 8 inches!!!!!!!! took da lower growth off middle of da week!!! first sign of da white pistols dis week!!!! dat plant has been butt chugging when thirsty dis has been very very good!!!!

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 06/02/2020 - Gave her 1,5l of tap water, checked the trichomes still transparent almost turning cloudy maybe a few more day!! 08/02/2020 - Showing her first amber trichomes going to harvest in 1 to 2 days !

Formerly "Outdoor Spring Failure (Autos)" ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── 11/06/2021 Day 70 - First day of the 11th week. Last update before harvest. Lot of sun but also lot of rain this week. Had to check weather constantly to move the babies in the shelter in case of storm, since I don't want water causing moisture in the buds. I reported the usual temperatures graph provided by a national meteorological society. They are so cute. - DD ( PS. I'm using stupid diary info (lamp distance growing outdoor, nutrient = none, ...) because of how GD algorithm work. Sorry for this. )

Feeding: Brown Sugar, Vinegar, Epson Salt, Union & Garlic Water, Corn Sprout Tea, Kelp, Alfalfa, Blueberry Water, Sea Bird Guano

I found out i made a big mistake at the beginning, i didnt wash the Coco twice and that resulted in dirty Coco and a ph way too high, the way I fixed it was I Watered with 2.5 L water mixed with 1/4 strength fertilizer, water half the amount wait 3-5 minutes then give the rest, on all of them. I also forgot to mention i have started to give 0.5 ml/ calmag, since the coco take some of it because its inert, you need to give more than in soil. The next day i could See they were taking in the fertilizers and are growing Happy again. I have done more lst, i used gardening wire each 20 cm long, form them like i do The cbd ( crack ) have grown happy all the way through, she is the one I have been most excited about, its for freinds and family, who can't tolerate thc but I think this 1:1 balance, can help them 🙏 @Fast_Buds i hope you guys make a foto of one like this, These medical strains are very important to keep alive. A thing to know about clay pepples is, you need to put them in water that have a ph of 6.0 otherwise they will take the ph level way too much up, trust in your measurement devices more than the soil/coco company saying what the ph Is. PL is coming back and have started to grow again. happy growing and remember it's 420 somewhere ✌️💚

7/17 she is SUPER fucking frosty 😍💚 buds are filling out too. Cant wait to see her a couple weeks from now 7/21 she was getting super bushy so I defoliated alot of the bigger fan leaves

Have had some nice growth. The brown dotts on lower leafs have gone away(fixed the nutrients) have a stronger led light coming friday so maybe it will help the bloom.

Good week

This week's weather has been hot & humid with a few cold rainy days. These plants were given a top dress feed of Dr. Earth Vegetable & Flower Girl mix along with mushroom compost. Also added a molasses watering and BT foliar spray Nose: MP #4 - sweet cream MP #2 - coffee/chocolate, like bitter mocha GZ - sweet, rotting strawberries WC - sweet funk MP#1 & 3 - nothing noticable yet

It’s so warm today! Of course I pulled all my plants out to spray with spinosad and feed/water. ********* I use a Hudson 2L sprayer. My partner used to work in the film industry and they found this brand of sprayer gets the most thorough even coverage for makeup or whatever movie magic they use sprayers to create. It’s great. ********* The larger gorilla glue has come around but I lost a few nodes. I’m seeing a little PMD, but I’ve been knocking it back when baking soda and water. I’ve been taking scalps, defoliating the big one gently and the little ones need almost daily lollipopping. I’m watching my ph and using more cal mag. I definitely feel like they are two different phenotypes.I have them on individual diets. ********** Some fungal gnats come with the humidity so I topdressed with gnat nix. I don’t believe I overwater so I hope that’s the solution! I think I may wait another week or two and get things more stable before moving to flower. I will update video tomorrow when I have access to faster upload speeds. ********** Added videos!

Hello lovely people, how are you? So, week five here and the Ladie is so strong, green, and beautiful! The LST training is showing me that less is more, sometimes hhahaha... Thank you! Have a nice week and GOooooooooooooooooo Brazil! =-)
