Thank you for checking out week 3 of my Stracciatella DWC grow! Quite a bit of growth this week, despite me running into quite a few problems this week, we had a heat wave and I was not prepared, causing some heat stress. I topped the plant at the 5th node and added some LST anchors, I will be topping her a few more times whilst low stress training . I'm still going with the same strategy of adding organics during the weekend, but I'm still not sure about it, especially not with the heat, Power roots does discolour my roots and causes some black gunk to accumulate at the top, I don't like that. speaking of discolouring, Biobizz CalMag makes my water super cloudy, which I hope is normal. I'll be moving my tent to a better climate soon, I do believe the heat further stunted my plant, She's still doing well however and it should be smooth sailing going forward, Unless nature throws something else my way. That's it for this week, I also shuffled some of the week 1 and germination photos around, since the 3 day week was bothering me. Thank you for checking out my Diary, Keep growing!

Harvest: Everything dried up to 347 grams + 96 grams of super high quality trim. Overall I am not too pleased with the smoke of the product. Although the bud size, bag appeal, smell and taste are pretty much all there, the shitty burn is a deal breaker for me and the majority of this weed is quite frankly useless. Another downside is while smoking I’ve found 4 seeds in an ounce from almost every strain. Light leaks? At least I learned a ton, including how to get super good burn for my next crop. I’m hoping that curing for a month or so will improve the burn but I wouldn’t really count on it. I have seen weed dried for 4 days with no cure and no flush smoke clean and not go out once. I have been told that the key to white ashes/clean burn is proper mineral content in the soil and there is tons of scientific studies on cigar ash going back 100 years. Plants grown in a medium with high levels of decomposing organic matter, phosphorus, magnesium, chlorine and heavy metal ratio tend to produce black/grey ash. Whereas plants grown in a medium with a higher ratio of trace minerals like calcium carbonate and potassium in the form of wood ash, rock dusts, oyster shell flour and lower levels of decomposing organic matter will produce a dense, uniform white ash that rarely goes out. But this is still all theory until I test it to confirm for myself a few times. My last few outdoor harvests did not improve with curing at all so I’m hoping this will be the missing link. Plain peat moss and coco clearly lack essential minerals that help burn. If said theory is correct I should find a synthetic nutrient line with more trace minerals. Makes me wonder if growing if rockwool/basalt rock could improve burn in a hydro setup. I think I did a fairly decent job for my first grow. I went wrong in a million different places but I still stuck it out and got some decent herb. Things went wrong early when I got black spot mold, nitrogen/magnesium deficiencies and powdery mildew. I corrected most of it but things didn’t get really bad until mid veg when I intentionally skipped a few feedings and defoliated quite heavily stunting the plants. I also didn’t even top or start LST until the 6-9th node which was really stupid and hurt my yield. My temperatures were all over the place from the learning curve. I was severely overwatering without realizing it. 100% peat moss is a shitty medium. I also fed way too late in flower (not what caused shitty burn). I also used synthetic nutrients in soil.

Ho montato una growbox 100×100×200 cm per consentire una migliore areazione e crescita, le piante sentono lo spazio disponibile attorno a sé, quindi questo era il momento giusto, ora si viaggia con una mars hydro fc3000 con dimmer al 45 % a 50 cm, un ottimale 350 ppfd , ppfd aumenteranno a 550 gradualmente in 15/20 giorni, aggiunto il supplento di spettro blu di marshydro, non sembra male per ora stann benissimo😇

Day 8. Girls are happy, nothing to add, let's see flowers !!! ;)) Pain to wait ... Found some bugs on those plants aswel, will apply neem oil therapy in a minute. Day 10. Yesterday soaked in soap and neem oil main tent, today was dry room day ... I hate applying any soap for living soil, its a big disaster if loads of spray will get into pot, plus changes of ph. I can only hope for best, but first valuation after 4 hours shows no visible bugs, sticky traps installed, they should and have to make it !!!! ;))))) No flowers yet, just pre starts to form, so neem should not get into bud and destroy taste ... Fingers crossed ... Girls got theirs name by size, so Tallest, Smallest and Standard ;))) Think to raise Smallest pot in a week, she is a bit too far, hard to find good lamp distance for all three ... Happy Growing !

He elegido una red metálica. Es muy fácil de instalar y permite un control eficaz de las plantas. El resto es igual a cualquier cultivo hidropónico. Subo el nivel de nutrientes cada día.

2020-07-24 (Day 129) So this thing is just way bigger than I anticipated! I think within the next two weeks I’ll have to add another level to the SCROG. Right before I add the next layer I will do a heavy defoliation To ensure I’ll have good airflow come fall. No water, no nutes, this is the easiest grow ever! Less than a month and this net of purple donkey dicks should start forming! 🍆 🍆 🍆

Hey Cannafam, Well its been a fairly good week for my gal, weve had a few days of light rain but nothing to harsh,not enough to bring the snails out and this is probably the first week that shes not been attacked by a pest of some kind. Most days have been hot and sunny and its still been fairly warm at night as well, thankfully the temp drop has been enough to start bringing out the purple colours further. They start in the middle of the plant and are slowly spreading out 😊💜 Shes also been thirsty and has two feeds this week with a watering every other day. Smell is ramping up now and the lovely forest fruits can be smelt when you brush a sugar leaf. Bud development is slow and steady and shes starting to frost up now as well 😊 Overall shes doing well and the good weather is set to continue which im pleased about! Thats all from me for now, take care my friends 💜💜💜

Everything going great. Cleaned up some of the bottom leaves. 🍃 Increasing irrigation to 9 events. Light at max intensity. Almost as high as it goes but they still got room to grow. 18.11 Defoliated the bottoms further and removed weak branches. They really packed on budsites these few days.

Hello. This is the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 of veg. Got the girls out to the greenhouse this weekend. And the guys too. Repotted the 6 females into the big pots. And training has started already with the metal rods to hold down the long branches. For each pot I mixed 4 gallons of soilless soil and 2 gallons of compost and 1 gallon of perlite/vermiculite. That filled each pot about 3/4 full. After transplanting I filled up the top 1/4 with the soilless soil. All the pots got about the same amount of soil within 1 Liter +/- The plants did well being bent into place. I broke 1/2 of plant #6's mainline. Wrapped twine around the brake and bent the branch over the bar and held it in place with a metal rod. That will work for me. You can see in the picture. I'll give a bit more water later today but with the compost the plants will have enough food for a while, so I won't have to feed for a while. I'm still planning to start flowering around June 1st to Aug 15 or so, to take advantage of the strong summer sun. These plants should take off once they get a taste of the compost. Ok. Be Great. Chuck.

Officially started week 3. She looks great all around and is really taking off! I’m definitely taken back by how “heavy” this lady smells at such a small size. Hoping for some super DANK and GASSY nugs. I will be growing her out to the max in this 1 gallon pot. The next UP-pot will be into a 3 gallon. I never feed my girls until 4-5 weeks in its finishing container. Will keep you guys posted. She got a full drink of water with half dose of Recharge, SuperKelp, Great White and Mikrobs on 12/22/2024, 500ml. Then 500ml of just pure Micron Filtered water on 12/26/2024 This rounds out week 3 and all I can say is she is smelly and THICK.

So we're at flower stage. This girl is growing really well. She's almost as big as the white widow. Her stem system looks really good. I have no complains. I'm adding @advancednutrients to my grow. I gave her a feeding today (36) of just voodoo juice and Nirvana and pH to 5.9. I'll keep you guys posted during the week. Thanks to all the people that answer my questions especially @spinnergrow. He's an educated guy. Day 37..... Gave her a feeding today of 2l with nutrients. I also gave her a haircut. I've been getting different answers about defoliating autos. So there you go I tried it. We'll see what happens. Day 38....not much to say about today but it doesn't seem like the defoliation harmed her. Last day of first week in flower day 42......thus plant is going to be a monster. I love it😁. I got some explosive growth with the last few days. She's growing really fast and nice.

Welcome growfessors to the harvest of Mandarin dreams! These 5 ladies got chopped down this week, the three pheno 1 strains have nice dense buds, very sticky! One pheno 2 is very fluffy, airy buds and the other pheno 2, is someplace in between, not rock hard, but close to it. Last time I'll be growing this strain, she was easy to grow, but not a smoke I enjoy, the indica hits harder as the buds cure and I'm not that interested in couch lock. Will update in 7-10 days with dry weight.
