6ta semana comenzó el 22/07/2019 esta vez hicimos poda de bajos por la humedad de la ciudad así puede circular mejor el aire y controlamos la presciencia de hongos, no lo queríamos hacer por miedo a la producción final pero las nenas reaccionaron muy bien y se noto en como comenzaron a engordar y a crecer sus flores, en realidad como que lo agradecieron, también esto ayudo a que le llegara mejor la luz a las ramas mas bajas. Esta vez sumamos al riego los productos de floración de Top Crop en sus dosis bajas (Top Bloom, Top Candy) ya que algunas estaban presentando carencias de Fósforo y Potasio.

Plants seem to be growing ok, seeing some fade on the leaves. Not sure if this is a bit nutrient deficiency or not. Plants are drying out faster than usual, probably the temperature. Struggling to get it lower anlong with the humidity. May need a dehumidifier and to crank the a/c.

This week has been horrible and I've been combatting the heat as we have had a heat wave so been some serious high temps 30-31 but I've swapped out my hps for a new led light hopefully this will help also I did a flush day 77 ready for week 3 Happy Growing!👊👍

**I am glad I saved pics. from weeks 1-3 because I was lagging in getting this account setup** - with that's being said, the "girls" (speaking it into existence) are coming along quite well. My last grow I used Green Planet's: Medi-One from veg - harvest, and although the overall turnout was pretty good, I just felt like I was a little heavy handed. This time I am trying something a little different and I'll be feeding the plants coconut water and potentially: -rice water** -banana peel water -boiled egg shell water -onion skin water* I am trying to do this as organic/affordable as possible, and although I haven't seen many cannabis forums talk about these natural fertilizers in depth (if at all), I have found that they are quite common practices in Indian gardening (if anyone is interested I'll link the YouTube videos). I can only imagine that these techniques are not isolated but, most likely common in Eastern gardening in general.... *if anyone can confirm this let me know Also, I did go ahead and top 3 of the 4 plants at the 5th node. I am going to hold off on topping the runt for a while and will go ahead and solely focus on LST for now. I don't want o stress her any further. **Lastly I am not the type of grower that measures things and has schedules, I admire that style of regiment and see it being beneficial commercially... but this is ENTIRELY about observation and the pleasure of growing personally so, forgive me if I don't have detailed notation lol... Feel free to ask me questions about: feedings, lighting, or anything else you're curious about

Week 12. Starting week 5 with a big smile. Day 80. Become bigger Nd bigger. Smelling like grapes. Start with new booster - bloombastic only 5ml to 10L all the way to the wash. Lets see the results at the end, by comparing it to my last grows. Day 83. Extra calmag.

If I don’t count the first week, considered like the first stage of germination, they’re growing in soil since 3 weeks. All strains seams to be extremely vigorous and are doing great 👍 It’s gonna be the time to top the seedlings, cutting all the 4th nodes in an advanced stage and reducing the seedlings to 3 nodes, making the sides shoots of the 3rd node the 2 future main branches of the plant ! Which is the first step to build a ScrOG. Later on, those 3 lil nodes will become the main trunk of the plant . Cutting short in the early stage avoid to get a long trunk and long legs later in the growth. ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞 )

Burnt the tops of a few colas cut them off now just hope for the best this heat is a killa to control the environment need new lights I think it’s about time I switch it up to led

No more yellow leaves spreading problem, it was the lack of nutrients for sure ! Thanks for those who helped me ! :) Something to consider for my next grow: I decided to grow 10 plants to get a chance to have a decent harvest as it is my first time but it takes too much space, I barely have room to move myself inside the box and the plants have less light. I also think it is the reason it's too hot inside the box, when the plants were small and the outside temperatures the same as today, it was was less hot. Next time, I'll grow like 5 or 6 but making them bushy as hell !!

It is really hot outside.. So i am. Keeping them in the shadow. They get enough light without getting burned.. They are both same stain but plant A getting bigger Buds somehow

Currently on cruise control with these Purple Punch, doing a little bit of training to fill out the space better! They are growing quite fast, they are liking their new preamended coco home. Vegging for 2-3 more weeks till we flip to flowering! They are smelling like the powdered kool aid. Though these will taste better then the powdered kool aid, don’t know how i like that as a kid! Too much sugar for me now, but let’s see the SUGAR on these buds! End of the Week update: Got some booming growth and some spider mites... spraying with neem oil every 3 days. Moved middle F2 to a open spot in the tent so it can grow out more, they all started to cram up in the 3x1. Giving them their last veg ACT before flipping to flower! Which includes neem seed meal, bat guano, worm poop, uprising grow

I recently completed my very 1st harvest and now that I have gotten over the hurdle, I'm excited to be at it again (and with lots of great upgrades). In my first attempts at growing I thought it would be best to start with the most entry level equipment just to see how I enjoyed the experience; it's safe to say I'm HOOKED! This time around I have a larger tent (3x3) and am growing 4 plants instead of just one! 2 of these plants are Super Skunk (fem) and the other 2 are bag seed that I kept labeled (banana candy & 3x crazy). In addition to the Mars Hydro tent, I also got an affordable LED light that I am over the moon about :) After doing some research for several months I decided that the Hipargero 800w COB was a must-have, especially for the price! I haven't seen many people talk about it or use it but, everything that I did see was a raving review and from the couple of youtube videos and pictures I saw of the light in action I was quite impressed! It has a veg and bloom switch, and a daisy chain feature for those of you who are looking to make an upgrade... this might be the next light for you! These little babies are in Fox Farm's "Ocean Forest" and I am giving them a light misting of distilled water. By the end of the week I will probably place used coffee grounds on the top soil for so slow releasing nitrogen nutrients.

TUESDAY 7/23: The FIM'ing seems to have only doubled her main, but that's okay. She's going from Hawaii conditions to Arizona conditions every day...8-10 hour of 72f/70+%RH to 12-14 hours of 96f/35%RH and taking it like a champ. I foliar fed her after taking her outside today and started training her a little bit. Gonna try to get those tiny lower branches to think they have a shot at "primary cola" status. I had no wire with me, so I just used a pliable length of dead-ish vine that was lying on the ground. I'll use some wire and binder clips when I can find it.. Evening...same day: She broke the vine I was using to hold her down, so I dug around and found some clips and wire. WEDNESDAY: She was just about 4 inches beneath 120w of LED last night with tons of blue spectra, 69f temperature and 80% RH. Those lower branches gained another half inch each and the top colas have turned to face the sun. I foliar fed her and gave her a little douche of Bactrex this morning when I took her outside. Had a cool front come through today, so the high will just be 87f and it's dropping to the mid to low 60's tonight..hooray! They're forecasting another day or two like this before the return to "oven-like" conditions.👍 I carried my pole saw down to the site at daybreak and removed a few smaller branches above them and to the West. I'll see if it is allowing some evening sun to reach her when I go down there to fetch her home to the LED's for the evening. THURSDAY: I was somewhat successful with getting a little bit more direct sunlight to her while outside during the day..about another 20-25 extra minutes. She got a sip of compost tea today with a little kelp me kelp you and big bloom. I tweaked her indoor domain a bit..she's now got 2 x 12w Miracle LED veg bulbs (cool white with 475nm peak), 1 x 75w cool white/460nm 225LED panel, 1 x 40w Sansi daylight grow bulb, 1 x 50w 460nm/cool white flood, and 1 x 18w 18" pinkish grow light bar. None of the lights are more than 5 inches from her, so she's incredibly well lit. I'm estimating that it's about 5,000 micromoles an hour, but I'm keeping the temp at her canopy under 80f with 90+% RH. It's not direct sunlight, but I think she's happy. I'm still undecided as to whether I'll keep her on a 24/0 schedule or if I'll cut it back to 20/4 when she starts flowering. Since I can provide her with a cool and humid environment for a third of the day, I'm leaning towards running 24/0 the whole grow. FRIDAY: I accidentally burnt her up a little bit today..one of the overhead LED's slipped and was about an inch from her top leaves...oops..I put her outside and misted her with some boom boom spray and kelp me kelp you.. SATURDAY: She's got a few crispy leaves, but she perked up and is growing again...whew...😓 SUNDAY: I tweaked her indoor environment today. She's now got a 120w quantum board (3500k) overhead, a 24w panel with 225 x 660nm red LEDs, the 40w Sansi light, one 9w 2' bar grow light, and one 12w Miracle LED blue.

First week of flower and she is looking very lush and dark green no deficiancies what so ever and no real problems or anything Day 35 removed the bigger guidehooks and the flux is tough enough to stand on its own Also removed a couple of fanleaves and rehooked her 1 node further up the line systematicly doing this for duration of the first week of stretch so she can widen out a tad bit🙏🙏

I forced flower a few days ago i showed that flux works on auto’s Late evening day 27 i hooked her up to the bucket and did Some heavy defo so she is ready for her flowerstretch still going to pin her down for another week to keep her height in check and to open her up for better light penetration and airflow Day 29 recovered nicely and looking amazing again Day 32 further training so she has as much space as she pissibly can and removed all the undergrowth from the branches only keeping the top 2 nodes of every branch in think still half of next week that i might be able to do a very late training but only time and enviroment can block the way of the dominatrix to get to her subjects

I have forced flower a few days ago so not to overbush her when she stretches in this period in going to stick her down in this first week of flower to keep her lower to the soil and opening her up it also hardens out the branches to support the buds better Day 33 pinned her down just 2 nodes further down the line so the stay horizontal

Start of week 6 everything is going great training advances at a good rate and she looks very lush and green

Almost done ! !! Thanks for looking.

Howdy! I have premixed 1L worth of PH adjusted nutrient solution which I am periodically syringing on top of the rock wool when it starts to get dry. I see some people only use RO water with cal-mag to start them off, but through my own unscientific opinion I figured 550 PPM won’t hurt considering seeds grow in soil and that isn’t exactly nutrient free! I am using RO water which I will keep in a 70 litre bucket ready for the DWC system once it is up and running. RO system was only £50/$80/€60 from the internet and it’s getting my hard water down to 0-1PPM from 450PPM. Growing my ladies in a smallish tent, 60 x 120cm which is 180cm high. Using one 315w LEC/CMH for the first two weeks, and then adding another 315w after week two. Using 4200k bulbs for veg, 3200k bulbs for bloom. Will take more pictures of the set up in the next week or so once the babies are in the 70 litre DWC Bubble System. Planning on buying Silica Blast to compliment nutrients in the next week or so. Ps, I believe this is the first DWC grow diary for Strawberry Lemonade, hopefully my mistakes and successes over coming weeks will help anyone who reads this! 🌱
