Continuing to flush my DarkStar Kush probably for another week at least. If I were following my original plan, I would be cutting her down today and starting the harvest. However, the runoff is still colored (not as much as it was, but still), and the TDS runoff was higher today than yesterday by almost 200 ppm. I’ve added new pics for this new week to show how she’s changing colors later in her life. She’s begging to be harvested, but I want to smoke her and not her nutrients! I’ve already waited this long, what’s another week or so. 🤷♂️ Oh well. I gave her a gallon of water chilled to 49.2 degrees F, and gave her 20 drops of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH from its initial 8.2 to a final pH of 6.7. The TDS going in was 76 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.3, and TDS runoff was 1740 ppm (up from 1462 ppm yesterday). Tent temperature was 82 degrees F, and humidity was 42%.

Continuing with the flush today. Feeding a gallon of 45.5 degree F water with nothing more than 22 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to make it just right. Initial pH was 8.4, and adjusted down to 6.4. The TDS going in was 85 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.4, and TDS runoff was 1377 ppm. Working in the right direction at least. TDS runoff yesterday was 1740 ppm, so a reduction of 363 ppm today, but still a ways to go. Tent temperature was 82 degrees F and humidity was 47%. She’s looking more and more ready for harvest each day! Uploaded some pics of her colorful foliage today along with some new trichome pics. They’re almost all cloudy/milky with some amber interspersed here and there. Come on flush!! Do your job! 😜
16 Jun 2021
Went out of town on a day trip yesterday, so no watering was done, but I’m back today to continue the flush. The tent temperature was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 43%. Thought I’d start off backwards today in my note from the norm. I gave a gallon of cold water (51 degrees F) with 20 drops of pH DOWN to adjust the initial pH of 8.2 to 6.5. The TDS going in was 83 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.5, which to me is promising, and the TDS runoff was 814 ppm. That’s a decrease of 563 ppm since the last watering/flush on the 14th. Hopefully in just a couple of days I’ll be able to start the harvest because she is READY!! I took more trichome pics today which were marvelous! They are perfect (to my untrained and inexperienced eye)! Hopefully I’m just days away!!
17 Jun 2021
Continuing the flush another day. The TDS runoff is still decreasing a little bit every day. Today I’ll be uploading a video instead of a bunch of pics. I already have a lot for this week, so I figured I’d do something different. I’m still giving chilled, and properly pH’ed fresh water. Nothing else. So, today I gave a gallon of H2O chilled to 51F. The initial pH was 8.4, so I added 22 drops (1ml) of pH DOWN to adjust it to 6.4. The TDS going in was 85 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.5, and TDS was 758 ppm. There is a 56 ppm decrease from yesterday, and I was hoping for much more, but it is what it is. I’ll keep going till it is better till harvest. Looking at the plant, it’s losing several leaves that are just drying up and falling off. Not a lot, but about as much as should be expected at this stage. The plant, trichomes, and buds are ready for harvest, but I want to make sure that I get all the nutrients out before I do it. Thankfully, I’m a patient person!
19 Jun 2021
I’ve been doing the flush for 2 weeks now, and the TDS runoff is still measuring 647 ppm. Honestly, I don’t know what the level should be for the harvest, but I’m getting to the point where I just want to go ahead and do it. Her buds are looking awesome, and many of the sugar leaves have turned dark purple, but she’s losing a lot of her bigger leaves. None of the ones around any buds, so I’m not concerned with it that much. However, I don’t want the trichomes to get more amber. The vast majority are milky, which is what I’m looking for with only a smattering of amber here and there. She’s just right!! Anyway, I gave a gallon of water at 48.7F with an initial pH of 8.3. I added 21 drops (1ml) of pH DOWN to adjust it to 6.7. The TDS going in was 71 ppm. Runoff pH was also 6.7 (it has consistently been the same or just a decimal point off from that going in for the last week or so). The runoff TDS was 647 ppm as noted above. Tent temperature was 84F, and humidity was 48%.

Defoliated on day 19 and 20. One of the Blueberry Cherry had a bunch of nanas on the lowers only, but it's not a full herms. So I left it to monitor. Only one or 2 on some others but on the lowers.
The scent is lacking tbh but let's see how it progresses.
Switched back to top dress organics and water in brix and aminos.

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

So here we go on another journey through growth.
It's the end of the first week after germination and things are moving along how I would expect for fresh seeds... although a few of these may have some mutations going on.
Regardless we're just doing water and Ferments for another week or two then we'll start the Athena blended line.
Thanks for stopping by.

Ciao growers ...
I didn't think I would have come to continue this diary, because, as you can see in the picture, there were some problems that made me change my ideas ... After spraying the two plants (plus one in the diary "Cookies On The Kush" ) with a 3: 1 mix of neem oil + potassium soap, causes thrips ... these parasites have been defeated yes, but at a high price ... they must have reacted badly to the compound, triggering a phytotoxic reaction ... .I'm not a scientist or a biologist or anything like that, but reading online I think this was the cause ... because the leaves would seem to be eaten by caterpillars or the like, but this is not the case ...
On girls I had also just done a Topping on one and a FIM on the other, before finding myself forced to spray them 😌...so, a lot of stress....
Well in the end, after they looked like they were dying, they recovered in growth, and now I have done a transplant in a geotextile pot from 20 l, consisting of about 50% Lightmix-3 0% cocomix-10% humus-10% perlite..
As soon as the transplant was done I gave them about 4 ml of root juice in 4l of h2o, in total divided by the two of them ...
It will be a diary "random" / artistic/i don't know 😅".... I want to" play "a little bit about the malformation that they have suffered ... now I'm doing some tying so a bit for fun ... we'll see what comes out of it ... for sure they will be very particular .. ... to the next update ...
thanks that you read, and I hope you like it 😉...
Bye Guy's 😄✌️

Day 35:
This week I was busy again with work (60hours this week) + Christmass days with family + friends(4days every evening).
So you can gues, i asked my friend again to take care of them.
Well he did kind off, but he forgot to adjust the lights and dance the plants arround(shuffle them, sorting by height).
What happend? They stretched out because of the heat and he gave them to much water everyday, he tried to do his best this time but he did the imposible, he overwaterd cocos soil.
As you can see the leafs dropped downward indicating overwatering or pests. In my case, luckly, the first one.
Luckly easy to fix.
Also spotted some stress in stems due stretching, something i cannot fix.
Look at week 4, pictures of day 28, thats my work after I fixed it for days and now look at this week....
For f**k sake lol.
Because of this stretching it looks really crowded now instead of a beautifull equal cantopy.
if you look at picture one to the plants in the right corner, those are the heights I want them to be.
There are still some plants that fell behind and barely recoverd since last time.
For the new week I will have to make a choice to eighter keep them and hope they still grow some while flowering or
I will need to get rid of them in exchange the others will have more space. I might thoose the last option.
Thats it for this week, see y'all in the next.

Had very good growth this week in height and pistils. Roots are also doing well with more growth and nice color so I will keep my fingers crossed that they continue to do well. The MP3 player was not working again. I used a MicroSD card and put a Velvet Underground Album on it and stuck that into the newest speaker. This one is the smallest and easiet yet plus it has continuous play so the album plays all the time without stopping like the MP3 player did. Am getting a bigger SD card to put more Velvet Underground on. I also defoliated a small amount and don't expect to cut anymore. The Grow Chamber continues to perform nicely and I hope to start building the first real Model Type soon. I also had to make a new top drip system because the older one was not dripping water. I am also CO2 enriching the Chamber for a couple of hours every two days. Looking to see more pistil growth this week. I've also added my data charts for January. Everything was in range and moving forward.

Hello hello! This past week was filled with explosive new growth; these clones certainly live up to the standards set by their mother. So much so, in fact, that I decided to take two more cuttings. We'll see if they root.
This will be either the final or the second-to-last week of veg for these plants as they've nearly filled the space completely and are beginning to shoot upwards. A lesson I learned with Carl&UKBS 1 was the "perfect window" of veg time- filling the space and maximizing yield while still allowing airflow to prevent mold.
HST and LST will continue into flower, HST will stop at F7. LST will continue until harvest as I'm not scrogging the plants this time around.
-9/20- Tomorrow the new week will begin and the clones will be flipped to flower. Wish me luck!

In week 5 of flower and decided to start documenting my indoor 2x4 grow setup.
We currently just finished day 3 of week 5. I have my lights running from 9:15PM - 8:45AM. I am not sure how I messed up on my timer but that's been my schedule since flipping to flower. I have an A/C in my bedroom that I duct into the tent. I have my A/C set at 62F and the tent gets to around 71-75F with the lights on. Lights off it ranges from 68-70F. I have a small dehumidifier in the tent that needs to be replaced because it is not efficient. I have an intake fan running at full blast at all times and my exhaust fan is automated to turn on based on temp and humidity.
Week 5 has brought on a lot of strong dank smells and a whole lot of weight to the buds. They are really starting to thicken up! I have not had too many issues with this grow so far and luckily, the tent in clean and bug-free. Lots of resin and terpene production going on and you can smell and see it increase daily!
I am following General Hydroponics Flora Series 6-Part grow chart. I am currently following the medium strength chart. I'll measure everything out exactly as the chart suggest then dilute my mix until I get to my desired PPM of 1000-1200. I PH around 6.2-5.8 and then add my microbes.
I changed up my watering technique mid grow due to an issue I dealt with and now watering 2x a day. Lights on and right before lights off. If my lights didn't run overnight, I would like to add in a 3rd watering in the middle of my light cycle but 2 a day is working for now. I water until there is a good amount of runoff. I measure the PPM of my runoff compared to the PPM of my inflow mix and will keep watering until the runoff is 300PPM or less over my input.
So if my mix is 1000 PPM and my runoff is 1600PPM, I will go back and water or as I like to think about it, rinse off the coco until my runoff PPM is at 1300-1000.
It is a little tedious but it's a habit I formed and it does not take much longer to ensure your PPMs in the root zone is perfectly where I want it.
I defoliated right before flipping to flower. Then defoliated 2 weeks later, and then a minor defoliation on week 4 of big fan leaves. I most likely won't be taking off any more leaves for the rest of the grow unless they are really blocking the light.
I am planning on harvesting in week 8 or 9, depending on when the plant is showing it is ready.
For General Hydroponics line, it has been the same nutrient strength/mix from week 3-5. Next week, Week 6, we start lowering the strength and adjust the amounts as we get into the later stages of flower and eventually will be flushing. For my flush, I will be using GH Florakleen, GH ripen, Mammoth P, and Bio-Fizz.
Excited to see how these girls turn out!
I'll be adding my outdoor grow as well as a new veg tent that I setup yesterday in my room. Stay tuned!

Hello Diary,
Purple Lemonade has reached the end of its journey, its last week because I harvested it two days after taking the photo.
73 days since I put the seeds in the ground.
65 days since the start of the vegetation.
Really very fast, although that has somehow become the standard on my little "Farm".
But I am still fascinated by how quickly a plant goes through its cycle when it has the most ideal conditions.
I don't necessarily mean myself here, I try to give the plants the best I can and know how.
As you can see in the photos, the result is impressive.
The flowers are large and showy, the branches bend under their weight.
The main cola is especially noticeable because it is covered in flowers full of trichomes that create a frost effect.
The smell is very intense at this stage, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box.
Watering was standard, every three days.
This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lower the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water.
After taking the photo, it was in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil so that the drying would be more efficient.
Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying easier and have less work to trim the dried flowers.
But also to prevent the formation of potential mold.
After cutting, I left it upside down in the grow box to dry.
Now there is that last step to see how much Purple Lemonade really rewarded me. See you when that happens.
Here's what the last week looked like.
19/09/2024 - Day 57.
Watering.
I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm.
22/09/2024 - Day 60.
Watering.
I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.
24/09/2024 - Day 62.
I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so that they were fresh for the photo shoot.
25/09/2024 - Day 63.
End of the last, 9th week since Purple Lemonade began its journey. Photo shoot.
27/09/2024 - Day 65.
Purple Lemonade has been harvested.
That's almost all from me for this diary, there is still the final report that follows after drying and testing.
Thank you all once again for your support and comments.

Ladies and Gentlemen we are back!! This project started last Sunday an Germination week was a success for these Purple punch’s an Forbiddin Runtz from Fastbuds 😍! I went with my paper towel method, sprayed down paper towel with pure water, folded it up inside sandwich bag un seeled in a dark cupboard. Checked everyday to make sure paper towel was still moist and on 3rd day we had all 6 pop open! I planted them Wednesday and all 6 popped up in soil on Friday in my Ac Infinity pots using Fox Farms Happy Frog soil! Tomorrow we will give them a small dose of nutrients, will be doing nutes on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays only rest get pure water! Well y’all let’s have another great week , keep them eyes peeled for next weeks photos an pics !!

First week of flowering for the girls.
We started with some master bloom from Xpert nutrients and continue with master root also from xpert nutrients.
We placed a net above the poants to guide some of the taller branches and create a more equal canopy.
We defoliated some lower leaves and for the rest it looks quite good, some plants showed a little sign of overfeeding so we lower the dosis this week.

GENERAL COMMENT.
So the RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO is down. Now we have the NL to manoeuvre and try to keep her alive for the final flush.
RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO COMMENT.
Many but slim colas emerged, showing extreme spotting and deficiencies, but gained weight since last week and started turning purple, first time that happens.
So now the final flush started and hope, afraid taste could be off, because of the problems i ran in with her, probably a good strain to considere light feeding, the smell is very gentle, a good strain to do stealth.
10-14 day to go! Yield could be amazing but will be common because of the locks, nothing out of the curve in my opinion, something to retry and correct to deal with this strain. Not turned on or off by her just feeling neutral and glad she made it.
Trichomes wise she is just ready, mostly cloudy, she will finish with some amber will do a nice sleeping aid.
Trim job will be a pain on this one because i will clean all the small affected spotted leaves.

Sie trinken fleißig und Blätter verfärben sich langsam … geht dem Ende zu
Werde danach nochmal einen Run starten mit 6 Cookies oder Skittelz, also nur 1 Sorte.
Ich hab mehr als genügend Fehler bei diesem Grow gemacht …umso mehr davon gelernt und werde es beim 2ten Lauf versuchen alles fehlerfrei zu wiederh
