Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]

Great week. Everything is going well. Fat stocky plants, buds starting. Lst and tucking the leaves. Should be nice plants. Still growing daily

Last time im growing this INDOORS. plant is waaay too big for my tent, she finaly is flowering now and ill have to keep pushing her under the net because it cannot go any closer to these leds.

Probably last week of ripening

Some Faded bottom leaves . Temps are lower . Not sure if my questions are seen but moving forward with my first Auto Blow Dream grow.

I am now using bud candy .2ml per gallon. Also still using mammoth p .6 ml per gallon. Flowers are forming nice on both strains. I turned the diablo up to 90%

Alright Then REMINDER I DO 2 UPDATES PER WEEK 👉WEEKLYROUNDUP👈👉MIDWEEKLY UPDATE👈 We just hit week 5 and all is well , have to admit she's just killing it super happy with how shes coming along 😃 ....... I'm still training her with LST looking good 👌 And she's filling out the pot perfectly👌 water given ,so far and rain water to be used entire growth Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎

Week 8 (20-3 to 26-3) 20-3 Temperature: 28.8 degrees (lights on) 20.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 43% (lowest) 21-3 Temperature: 27.6 degrees (lights on) 20.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 41% (lowest) Today i installed an humidifier, it will keep the tent at around 65% when it gets below 55% 22-3 Temperature: 28.2 degrees (lights on) 19.7 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 71% (highest) 45% (lowest) No pictures. 23-3 Temperature: 26.8 degrees (lights on) 19.7 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 50% (lowest) Today i heavily defoliated the Chemdog #1 and #2 24-3 Temperature: 26.1 degrees (lights on) 18.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 68% (highest) 52% (lowest) Added 15L to the reservoir. 25-3 Temperature: 26.1 degrees (lights on) 19.1 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 79% (highest) 50% (lowest) No pictures. Today i switched to 12/12. 26-3 Temperature: 24.9 degrees (lights on) 18 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 66% (highest) 56% (lowest)

Seed starting out strong. Sunk in water on day 2 and cracked on day 3 then went into the starter. I'll get her into a small container w/ #4 soil (USA) once she anchors her root. I'll be running nectar for the gods. Using it currently and it works wonders. I started the seed with bloom kaos, it is a kelp extract, kelp and seaweed have large amounts of natural growth hormones. I used it as a soke for the seed and for misting clones with. I use 1/16 of dosage and it really helps.

😉

She has stretched a lot more than I thought she would! Day 18 of flower and I believe we’re done stretching from here on out. I defoliated a bit so some of the lower bud sites can absorb some light. Also gave her some nutrients this morning. Onward to week 10 ✌️🏾

Buying nutrients can get so expensive so I have decided to use tried and true miracle grow. I had some left over from last summer and I am going to use it for this grow. I actually have never tried growing cannabis with miracle grow, so this is a first for me. Miss Gorilla grew a lot this week and produced a lot of new growth. It makes me think this plant may be a bushy plant. According to FB website: "This lady grows stout and bushy, reaching around 150cm while displaying a compact yet robust appearance with wide inter-nodal spacing. She will develop a thick main cola with fat side branches all around while not requiring much maintenance. She can produce up to 650 gr/m2 in around 10 weeks, putting her among the highest-yielding strains we’ve ever created."

Fuck snails

Start just water next week

My plants grow well! The leaves issue I get during last week seems to be ok now. I trained the 4 plants. O.G. Kush and Honey Melon Haze in the begining of the week and the 2 Mandarin Punch on the last day. O.G. Kush & Honey Melon Haze : topping + LST. Mandarin Punch : topping only. I struggled a little bit to maintain a good air humidity. It was oscillating between 50 and 70% but most of the time it was around 60%. I had to use a dehumidifier. The fan is now "ON" at the same time as the light.

Day 29 29/07/24 Monday Nice feeding today with De-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Gave her 300 ml and she had a small run off. Getting chunky in the stem now 💪💚 Day 31 31/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚 Day 32 01/08/24 Thursday Another feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6, there now taking 300ml every evening. Day 35 04/08/24 Sunday END OF WEEK 😁 De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. 300ml each. Had a issue with leaf invaders this week, I have treated and am checking every 48 hrs so far seems ok and not progressive. All plants look great, very healthy, one of the Overdose is way behind and due to space maybe culled at flower I'll see how she gets on.

Week 3 of flower has brought some frost along with it. It has also seen the stretching slow right down so she should really go into bud production mode now. I top dressed with some of my high N amendment mix and my flower mix at a 50/50 ratio as she was looking a little pale so I figured a little more N was needed to keep her happy. Plus the flowering mix to side in bud production. I have upped waterings to 17-20 gallons every 2-3 days and she seems to be enjoying a little extra water. I have been spraying her with OMRI fungicides and I haven’t seen any powdery mildew this week 😎 Onward! 😎🍿🍻🌱

_____📅 Week 6 | 📅 Day 36 - 42 | 03.05 - 09.06 ______ 09.06.25 | Day 42 🌞💧 🔸Grape Guava: Looks like an accident, haha - Also grows very well but quite compact, it may need a little less light so that the spacing between the nodes is not so dense. In any case, one of her main shoots broke off, which is not too bad, so I topped the other side for the symentry. Looks like broccoli hehe. But it has a nice rich green color. I think next week it will start flowering. 🔸It was a bit colder this week, but that didn't bother me or the plants. 🔸This week I watered them 2 x with 2000 ml _________________________________________________________________________________________ current conditions: 🌡️🔆= 22-23° 🌡️🌜= 18-19° 💨 Hum. = 65% 🔦 PPFD = 500 umol 18/6 🔦⌚DLI = ~ 32 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Equipment to use: 💡 Light: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4- 120 on 50% ⛺ 120 x120 x 180 🍯 Pots: 18 liter pot 🌱 Soil: Bio-Bizz light mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap Water 0,5 EC
