Prima raccolta della mia vita, molto soddisfatto, dopo una settimana in flush ho deciso di tagliare in quanto i tricomi stavano diventando ambrati, dopo questo ciclo sicuramente ho capito l'importanza del Lollipoping e sicuramente al prossimo saprò come valutare la gestione

19 May 2021 Finally got around to doing the Low Stress Training today. I have all the branches spread out and tied down in order to be able to control how she grows from now until harvest. I’m cultivating her differently from my previous grow. Trying to put some lessons learned to use. Hopefully it works out well. Regardless, it’s going to be a learning experience. Today starts the 6th week of the vegetative stage. I believe I’m going to be able to flip her sooner than expected. Today I fed: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial pH was 6.50 and needed no adjustment. The TDS meter was 768 ppm. I fed half a gallon again and still had plenty of runoff. Runoff pH was 6.10, and runoff TDS was 2400. The tent temperature was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 42%. Solution was chilled to 50 degrees F. So far she’s growing well. 21 May 2021 Feeding time again. Blueberry Muffins is looking GOOD! All of her branches I tied down the other day have started to turn upward toward the light. My pH meter is on the fritz, but my records show that the solution hasn’t needed any adjustments since I started giving nutrients. I fed half a gallon of water chilled to 53.3 degrees F with the following: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, & FloraBloom 2.5ml. The TDS was 842 ppm, and the runoff TDS was 2522 ppm. I decided to top the plant today and to try and clone the top myself. My history of cloning is 100% failure, so I’m not holding out much hope. Hopefully this arrests its upward growth for now. 23 May 2021 This little girl needs to CHILL OUT for a while and slow down her growth! It seems like she exploded in growth over night and is growing OUT (wide), and is getting bushy. I have 3, most likely 4 weeks left till I can move her into the larger tent, but I’m going to have to do something! Oh, she looks great by the way. I’m not increasing her nutes till I can flip her! I fed the same as I have been: CALiMAGic 2.5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. Historically the pH has been between 6.47 - 6.52 without adjustment, so I fed the solution with those nutrients in water chilled to 51 degrees F. The TDS was 762 ppm going in, and the runoff was 2561 ppm. Tent temperature was 80.6 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. 25 May 2021 Today is the last day of week 6 (2 of this diary), and I am going to flip the switch tomorrow starting the flowering stage in the smaller tent with just one light. It is getting bigger by the day, and I also noted some brown spots on the leaves which indicate a possible Calcium deficiency. The CALiMAGic will be increased in the next feeding, but I started giving the new amount today because of the spots on the leaves. I will harvest the DarkStar Kush in my large tent in 3 weeks, so I figure my Blueberry Muffin and her tent mate will do fine for the time in the smaller tent until I can move them. Other than the possible calcium issue, the plant looks great! I fed half a gallon of water chilled to 46.6 degrees F, and added FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 10ml, and FloraBloom 2.5ml. The initial/final pH was 6.6 and needed no adjustment. The TDS was 932 ppm going in. Runoff pH was 6.4, and TDS was 2701 ppm. The tent temp was 79.4 degrees F, and humidity was 53%. Projected harvest date is 09 July 2021. Can’t wait to see the colors and the smell!!

Praying my girls are not all in different stages of dying 😭More to follow... 1/9/21 These girls were finally dry enough to water I weighed each post before and after watering. I am going to try weighing the pots and water when the weight is about half as dry.as I normally do. So Maybe I should water @ 3lbs heavier... somewhere between 8-9lbs 1/10 I changed the light cycle so that my "night time" is in the middle of the day for heating reason, so this morning when I woke up, after being under the lights for 18 hours I actually had growth on two plants. Gorilla Glue and my photo plant Chocoloope that is growing with the autos. They were both under the VIPARSPECTRA 2020 Pro Series P1000 LED Grow Light. The other two plants were under BLOOMSPECT Double Chips Series 1500W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum. I wish I hadn't made so many mistakes with this grow because I know there is no way to know if it is the light that made them grow better than the other two or they were just a little healthier. I don't think so because Gorilla Glue is the worst plant and she actually grew but who knows. Anyways I switched the plants around so they are under the opposite light when their day time starts and we will just have to see. PE Length 8' Height 7' Width 8.5" Dry weight 6lb 4oz Wet weight 13lb 11oz GG Length 8" Height 7" Width 8.5" Dry weight 5lb 14 oz- Wet weight 11lb NB Length 11" Height 10 " Width 10.5" Dry weight 6lb 9 oz Wet weight 12lb Choco Length " Height Width " Dry weight Wet weight 1/11/21 DAY 46S HELP if ANYONE SEES THIS .... last night I decided not to switch the plants around after all, but I did rearrange the tent because I had a plug running through door and I am still struggling to regulate the humidity and temp. I thought I still had good air circulation but apparently I did not and the plants are not happy. Gorilla Glue is not going to make it. She turned real dark green after watering her on Saturday, she had a small amount of growth Sunday but now all the leaves are laying down. I don't know if I should use Sledge hammer but after flushing a week ago letting her dry for a week and then watering Saturday I don't know if I flushed her with sledge hammer if that would finish her off or perk her back up. I weighed her and she was 4 pounds lighter than when I watered her on Saturday and still 2+ pounds lighter than when she is the driest. Some background on how I tried to kill my plants... 😭 I started this grow by watching a zillion videos with my key take away being 1-don't over water 2- don't transplant autos 3- don't feed full strength. I took it seriously, so my tiny little sprouts were put into 3 gallon pots of Fox Farm happy frog potting soil. (didn't realize this already had enough nutrients to last several weeks so I started nutrients in the 2nd week of Veg) I use Fox farm nutrients and follow their soil feeding schedule. I bought the Dirty Dozen starter kits and it did not have 2 products in that the feeding schedule but since they were not in the kit I assumed they must not be too important. They were.... Wholly Mackerel & Marine Cuisine fertilizer. I used a turkey baster to slowly drip a couple ounces of water around each plant I water just like in this picture. https://prnt.sc/wjq0gi for over a month. I didn't realize by watering like this for a month that I was making the nutrients build up just below the the root line each watering. I waited to water till the plants were very dry. Now looking back Way way to dry before watering. I am sure that is why they were not growing. I was only giving them enough to stay alive not thrive. So a little more back info Day 14 I watered the plants with plan water Day 23 after not having to water the plants for 9 days I watered them, 1/4 gallon each with week 2 schedule, with the addition of calmag+(2-0-0) @ 50% strength Day 27 they were light and needed to be watered and they had grown a little. so I gave them nutrients same as above Day 30 The plants were not quit as dry as usual but I was beginning to think I was underwatering them so I gave them 1/2 gallon of THIS IS WERE IT ALL GOES WRONG...(Actually after reviewing my grow journal just now my problems started Day 1 and was showing signs I just didn't know it and I still am not sure how to fix any of it Almost makes me think I should scrap it all and start over. These poor plants will be lucky to produce anything) Someone could seriously use my grow journal as a "everything not to do" guide. Day 35 since the plants were finally big enough to soak the pots fully. I also decided since they had used 1/2 gallon water in 3 days and they grew a ton I upped the nutrients to full strength and the calmag plus as well. This was the first time I had any runoff sadly I let the plants sit in the runoff and reabsorbed all the runoff. Day 38 Flushed each plant with with 5 gallons of tap water that had a PH of 6.4 & water temp was 62 degrees. My run off started at 4300ppm with a ph of 6.2. The PH was consistent in every plants runoff and all of them had off the chart PPMs. I brought NB down to 250ppm. Gorilla Glue and Pineapple express I brought the runoff down to 450. For some reason I decided that since my plants were probably in shock from no water and nutrients to more water and a whole lot of nutrients and I figured flushing them would reset the soil and I reasoned they would need food after not getting any from being in shock so I gave them each a half strength nutrients. I waited a full week then posted this question. Day 45 I have each plant plain water and checked the run off. The Gorilla Glue had a run off of 584ppm with a ph of 6.47 , The northern lights X had 750ppm and 6.38ph pineapple express had 1170ppm runoff so I ran a less less than an extra half gallon of water and that brought the ppm down to 706. PH was 6.3. I have a photo period that I didn't add to this dairy but has been with these plants and it is starting to show the same signs as the others they are just all in different phases of whatever I did to almost kill them. I started the next week on Friday so I will be adding pictures and a couple videos I took from today in my grow dairy tonight. I don't know what to do next.

Divine Indica is a beautiful plant although she was very susceptible to everything along the way and it is unfortunate that the powdery mildew took over. If it had only been minor the wash would have cleaned her up but that was not the case for her, we also lost some of her to bud rot which was not a shock with the weather this season. As for the weight, it is an estimate due to the way our harvest took place this year and also a lack of scale. One thing spectacular about this girl is her aroma so we would like to see how she handles growing inside in the future.

dwarf is flowering nicely, was laying in the tent today listening to funky music and smoking :D couldnt get too many pictures because of bad lighting but took a nice little video of the trichomes :) started giving more nutrients as a friend told me flowering plants take up more water and phosphorus to produce buds :) gonna be like a kid on christmas day when i get my medicine harvested :D thanks for keeping up with the diary and the best of luck to you all! Day 52 - 29/10/19 Flushed the dwarf today along with my other plants, runoff had a ppm of 467 and ph 6.45. im going to try and get it closer to 6. with this plant being sprouting test ive come a long way and learned a lot :) its gonna be a small harvest, and is developing buds at a much smaller rate than the other two plants :) still im very excited. maybe week 10-11 harvest if im lucky haha. Day 53 - 30//10/19 Couldnt sleep at all as i have no buds left, after being restless in bed for 4 hours i got up and removed about 6-8 pistils from lower growth and rolled it up. almost the same quality high as street weed so im impressed :) taste was slightly harsh but man. finally happy to be on the road to good quality medicine:) il upsate soon with pictures of the plant! Day 54 - 31/10/19 Pictures and videos updated for all three of my diaries. im entirely happy with my hobby :) my Royal Dwarf is just flowering away on her own time, dont think theres long left for her now, maybe 3 weeks? check the videos and let me know what you think below in the comments! im not expecting this plant to grow any taller just to finish the buds for a nice little harvest :) finally shes developed enough to provide a smell and its much like a tropical fruit, something like a mango but i couldnt quite put my finger on it :) i love fruity smoke so roll on the last few weeks of flowering :) (i hope)

This plant was a pleasure to grow, with cola buds dense and encrusted, and a problem free first grow. Seem to have gotten an OG dominant pheno with nice gelato hints of flavor and color; the citrus zest may or may not come out in the finished product, for me it is faint. Hope to grow this strain again in the future, definitely head-stash potential so my remaining steeds will be going in the vault. I let it hang dry a bit too long, but they’re currently a week into the cure at about 59% RH. My next grow will probably be the same set up, but improving on it with the experience I’ve gained through this process. I hit my 10 Oz total yield goal I’m pretty satisfied with my techniques and strain choice. Get this strain if you want an easy, high potency indica with impressive yields and good flavor. I’ll also be dry sifting the (tons of) sugar covered trim from both of the plants to press into resin, so I encourage y’all to take advantage of all that the plant provides. Cheers

Sorry for the long delay, but wasn't sure if I was gonna finish this runoe n Moved everything down to my flower room and finally flipped to flower. Humidity is extremely low so I recently added a ideal aire 75 pint unit to try n help fight. Since last cycle, I got 4 new 640 watt LEDs, 6 100 watt inter-canopy lights, added 2 20 pound co2 tanks, and added an 8 inch intake fan to help control the. CO2. Ended up with 24 plants, 15 strains (got way 2 carried away with buying seeds this year lol). Since I'm gonna retire my 2 fav strains, I wanted to cast a wide net and find worthy successors.

16/5/22: Week 3: VD15 for both. AN stands a little taller. But she comes of enzymes and TP goes on them this week, following their guidelines as far as when to give them the nutrients but I'm far of giving their recommend dose. 15.5 CM for AN GROW & 14cm for TP GROW. Both have been put into the 150x150x220 homebox and I have my 70x70x160 inside my big tent, this will allow me to keep the RH high in that tent while the photos veg and autos will be in full bloom. 17/5/22 both girls were topped above the 5th node. 18/5/22 Figuring out how VPD works. You could read for hours about this stuff and still not dial it in for years. But here's the basics. VPD 0.4-0.8 kpa for early seedling. So under or around 23c and around 50-60 RH. atm my VPD is 1.05kpa and for most of my plants the optimal range is .8-1.1 kpa. Temp is 80 F 25C and RH is 70%. To find the perfect VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit)check out optimal ranges of VPD for growing stages, also your strain should have the optimal VPD. I don't have an infrared temp to check the LVPD (Leaf Vapor Pressure Deficit) that's a whole other ball game. Im not going to get too boged down at the moment with VPD&kpa. As I said that's in a whole other league. Im going to run a basic VPD environment though. In heavy flower my temp will defo be in the 26-28 range as I'll have the 20L dehuimifier in my 5x5x7. 22/5/22 Solid growth coming from these 2 ladies. 15+ cm growth in a week is great. Hopefully I'll get another 4-7 days of growth before they start flowering.

I am so proud of her, with the high humidity and extra rainfall she pushed through. I noticed her swell continued in the last week so it’s safe to say she is in good shape.

Hello. It's been hot this week. I'm about 4 days from flush and I'll try to flush for 2 weeks. I've seen some fungus gnats, but I try to run a very healthy greenhouse. I've seen 3 different types of spiders helping me out this year. 2 different types of jumping spiders, several harvesters (Daddy long legs) and a bunch of small web spiders. I think a nest of web spiders hatched near by, their webs are about the size of your palm. And of course Paper Wasps. I allow to live in the greenhouse. (check out week 5 for more on that). >I going to make my own seeds this year. I want my females to be about 3 weeks ahead of the male on flowering. The male is under lights and checked every couple of days for flower sacks, NO preflowers sacks too. As i have said before that's a male Dr. Atomic Northern Lights. Going to be crossed with my Amnesia Lemon, Burmberry and Skunkberry. What I want is the Burmberry to have more solid buds. > Amnesia lemon has not had any powdery mildew this year nor has her sister had any. I've gotten some on the other 2 strains. I'm trying frequency changed water " White Wash" works great, knocks the pm right out. I'll see if I'll use it again I'll be able to tell on the smoke and taste test when it done. That's all for now. Chuck.

Good progress overall. I'm thinking of changing the pot size for this space. Flowering has started for all the plants, so the nutrient supply is the same. Things are starting to get simpler at this stage of cultivation.
