Note: I didn't necessarily flush but I didn't add any more additives or nutrients while away so I've set the nutrient values in the diary to null. --------------------------------------- June 12 (Day 90) --------------------------------------- Away - Camping. --------------------------------------- June 13 (Day 91) --------------------------------------- Away - Camping. After camping, they survived the summer heatwave and look pretty good. The stench in the tent is not like your typical Northern Lights or White Widow. It's straight-up funk that hits you in the back of your throat. I can't really pinpoint any specific scents but it's a very rich and pungent odor for sure. I’m 100% confident the roots are probably degrading with rot after the warm temps. The only problem I had while away is was the AC fills into a 5gallon bucket and it couldn’t keep up with demand about an hour before I got home. After a quick cleanup, I took a closer look and I’m happy with trichomes on both plants. This was supposed to be a 65-75 day fast finisher. Today is day 91. I’m satisfied. I consumed a test bud on weekend that went under a 3 day dry. White ash, no harshness, and punchy in regards to the effects. Chopping them tomorrow.

Very dynamic effect. Keep head clear and no stress. Crafty vaporiser effect is the best.

OK, Ich habe den Kampf gegen meine Trauermücken aufgenommen..... und direkt sieht es aus, wie im Militär-Lazaret. Ich habe 3.000.000 Nematoden (Steinernema feltiae) auf ca. 2.5L Wasser (ph 6.2) der Erde zugeführt. Die Blätter mit einer Neem- und Rapsölmischung besprüht. Damit die Erde das nicht aufnimmt gibt es weisse Laken für die Patienten.😂 Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob es funktioniert. Mal sehen. Ansonsten gefallen mir meine Babies echt gut.

D57/FD29 - So, at the last few days of week 4, the SCP had a good push to itself...put on about 6-9" so had to do some bending/leaning of some pretty stiff stems. Unfortunately the only way for them to go was towards the tent walls so drops the light but they're getting WAYYYY over the DLI they should be getting without supplementation of CO2 but its not doing them too much harm. They're drinking a ton but not taking on as much feed (as I've come to expect now in flower) so dropped the base and bloom by 10% (same recommended ratio of 1:1) and kept the PK9/18 booster in there at (what would be recommended) strength for this week...its the same as last week but week 1 (week 4 of flower) of PK9/18 should have been double...didn't want to overdo it as when I used recommended strength 1st time I got it, it created some serious root zone acidification (Which could have been all the K getting used up but was a mare getting the pH up from 4.something every day!!!). Did my usual root flush/wash before adding feed as the EC had crept up to 2.2 (and I know from experience, that starts messing with your numbers if you don't wash that out right) and took about 50L-60L to get the tank to 0.3EC (base is 0.2) was was a lot of salt sitting on/in the roots. Had a ton of underscreen dead leaf to pick up and just cut some wee straggly offshoots (I know, bad idea in flower but they were basically dead/no nutritional value left so basically a bug magnet). Still waiting on Bluelab to send me the RMA approved pH pen...been 2 weeks now since the RMA was approved and still no postage - using an "essentials" pH meter and just dipping in Calibration Fluids between each feed add to ensure some accuracy (As you can see from my recipe page, I like to know what the feed does to the pH - also gives an idea on what they're feeding on when you see pH swings in a different direction that expected). Geekbeast also got back to me. In all fairness, I've been dealing with them direct (Got the light fixture from Alibaba, direct from China - big gamble, right???) and they have been more than helpful. I have been telling them about the light randomly coming on at 5% (lowest brightness) and provided evidence; turns out someone else now noticed the same issue with the Remote App controlled variant and they believed it was a loose control board/wire. They said they did some stuff and that fixed it but I also thought mine was fixed by forcing the dimmer to 0% and it still randomly happened (even though it didn't do it for weeks) so the other person may still get a surprise!! 😋 So, I took out the driver today, pulled out the control board and all wires seemed good and no looseness in the control board (although it does look slightly bent as the Spade for the IR/UV switch isn't fully bedded in). But, like I say, in all fairness to Geeklight, they're posing me a new control board tomorrow from China AND giving me the longer driver cables so as I can put the driver outside of the tent! Give me a bit more room for my Flower Initiator and great to see them honouring the Warranty. Apart from that, wish the SCP would start to set flowers better, they're still looking a bit weak up top but stems appear to be stacking. Hopefully now that last push happened (and hopefully all pushed out!!!!), they will concentrate on buds only...this may be a 10+ week-er - which again, cant really afford as growing tent is drying tent!!! Its supposed to be a 75% indica so would expect bigger/quicker flowering but not showing too many symptoms of being mostly indica...maybe not quite a fully stable genetic line yet?? I dunno but its running slower like a sativa - even with the flower initiator and the late push would maybe imply that too??? Funnily, its tent mate, Red Hot Cookies is 60% sativa and has set flowers quite well so far - showing colour to the tips of the pistils...just wish it would start turning pink!!! Anyway, think that's enough s**te chatted by me!!! Happy growing all!!! 💪

Week 8 Day 5 Hello GD Fam 🖐️🏻 Plants are looking SWELL They have packed on a lot of weight and some pistils are turning but there is still a lot of new white pistils. Trichs are still pretty clear too. Was going to use Dragon Force in week 9 and flush with plain water for week 10 but now I'm wondering whether to push an extra week through them, what do you think GD community? How do you all predict when to prepare for flush? I find it difficult, it's easy enough to spot a plant that's ready based on trichs and pistils etc but how do you predict it 2 weeks early to know when to start using your final additives followed by just water in the final week? I know dragon force and similar products push the plant to do so but if I can get more weeks out of a plant then I shouldn't I do so for a benefit to yield? Especially interested in @SHOGUN opinion if they have a little time spare 😁 As you can see in the pics peeps I've caught the spirit of Christmas and decorated my grow space for the competition Xmas Grow:showman:️ Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas 🎅 Hope you like the video I made I'm pretty happy with the results considering I've got zero experience of decorating and video photography/direction or any photography for that matter 😂

09 May 2021 Today starts the 15th week of my grow, and the 6th week of flower. Just over a month till the scheduled harvest, and today the nutrient amounts change according to my feeding chart. So today feeding went like this: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml. Today we aren’t using any of the FloraGro, and won’t be for the rest of the grow. I chilled the water again, but not as long this time and the temperature of the solution was 56.3 degrees F. I thought it odd that the website doesn’t allow for entries lower than 50 degrees in that block, but oh well. The initial pH was 5.89, and I added pH UP 2.5ml which adjusted the pH to 6.53. The runoff pH was 5.63. Lower than I want, but still within range for a healthy plant. Temperature in the tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was at 53%. The plant looks great, and is maturing quite nicely. 11 May 2021 Today was a busy day! My DarkStar Kush is doing very well! The smell is starting to get stronger and the buds are fattening up as well. I’ve noticed some mild nutrient burn on some of my leaf tips, but nothing terrible. I’ll keep an eye on it to make sure that they don’t get worse. I haven’t really made any adjustments to the nutrients lately with the exception of increasing the FloraBloom by 2.5ml’s, and stopped using the FloraGro in accordance with my feed chart. Feeding today went as follows: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom at 15ml. The initial pH was 5.85, so I added 3ml of pH UP to increase the pH to 6.52. The runoff pH was 5.65. I finally received my TDS meter today, so the TDS reading was 1070 ppm. My feed chart says that the ppm range in looking for is 1050-1400 ppm, so 1070 puts me in that range. I chilled the water again today, and it was 46 degrees F. The temperature in the grow tent was 81 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. So far so good, and I’m starting two new diaries today for some clones I was gifted by Buddabud, so check them out. 13 May 2021 Just when I thought I was on cruise control with my baby here, she throws me a slow curve. The question is; will I hit it, or miss it? The light nutrient burn that I noticed in my last entry on the 11th has gotten just a small tad worse, but nothing terrible. I believe it’s not from the feeding, but the build up of nutrients in the soil. I finally got my TDS monitor as I noted the other day, so I tested the ppm in the runoff and it was over 4000. Then, as I was shaking the excess water off the end, the end cap for the battery came off and the whole monitor plunged back into the water completely submerging for a moment before I could get a hand free to grab it. It’s been sitting in a bowl of rice since yesterday. I just hope it dries out and keeps working. I need to see what the TDS of the soil at this stage is supposed to be and then either keep going and damn the burn, or maybe feed with pH’ed plain water for a feeding or two and then see how it reacts. I’m still deciding, but will research first before making my decision. For today I kept to the feed chart. I gave the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml. The initial pH was 5.92, so I added 2.5ml of pH UP which raised the pH to 6.47. That is what I fed the plant. The TDS reading of the feed solution was 1036 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.63. Tent temperature was 79 degrees F, and humidity was 40%. I have just about 4 weeks left in this grow till the scheduled harvest. 15 May 2021 Today is the last day of the 6th week of flower, and I’m going to try and arrest my mild nutrient burn on my baby. I’ve decided to just give water and CALiMAGic today properly pH’ed to see if it does anything to improve the situation. I wanted to have a significant amount of runoff today so I fed 1.5 gallons of water with 7.5ml of CALiMAGic. The initial pH was 7.60, but adding the pH DOWN is much different than adding pH UP! I initially added just 0.5ml to the gallon of water which lowered the pH from 7.60 to 4.9. I was like, “DAMN!” 😳 so I had to pour it all out and start over again. I learned through research never to mix pH UP and DOWN in the same solution. If it’s wrong, you need to start over;!so I did. After 3 tries and lots of wasted CALiMAGic, I finally got it right by only adding 5 drops (gtts) of pH DOWN to get it to 6.64. The TDS meter dried out and still works, so the TDS going in was only 403ppm. Like I said, I wanted a lot of runoff to try and clear out some of the nutrient buildup in the soil. The runoff pH was 5.58, and runoff TDS was 3803 ppm. Daytime temp was high today at 86 degrees F, and humidity was 31%. She looks good. She smells good. I hope she stays good! A few weeks left till harvest!

Let her show us her unlimited potential; all possibilities exist within the present moment, yet most people predict the future based on past experience, when you are truly present. The observer effect is the phenomenon where the act of observing or measuring a system inevitably alters its state, a concept fundamental to quantum mechanics and applicable to various fields. It occurs because measuring tools interact with the subject (e.g., photons hitting a particle), rather than requiring conscious observation. Detection forces particles to behave differently—acting as particles rather than waves. It is closely related to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Light exhibits a wave-particle duality, acting as both an electromagnetic wave and a particle (photon) depending on how it is observed. It travels like a wave (refraction, interference) but interacts with matter as distinct, quantized packets of energy, known as photons. This duality is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Quantum particles, including light, can exist in multiple states or locations at once (superposition). In complex processes like photosynthesis, light energy acts as both a wave and a particle, traversing all possible paths simultaneously to select the most efficient route, acting as a "quantum computer". Particles can become so deeply linked that the state of one instantly influences the other, regardless of the distance between them. This phenomenon, initially doubted by Einstein, has been validated through rigorous experimentation. When researchers quantize the classical electromagnetic field, the theory predicts four potential oscillation modes, but only two are observable. The other two are "ghost" photons—unobservable yet necessary for the mathematical framework of quantum theory. Quantum mechanics is not limited to cold, isolated laboratory settings. Research indicates that plants utilize quantum coherence at room temperature to achieve 99% efficiency in photosynthesis. Recent experiments have shown that light can be manipulated to exist in dozens of dimensions, which could revolutionize quantum computing and secure communication. New research suggests that classical light interference patterns arise from, and are controlled by, specific quantum states known as bright and dark states, which persist even when light waves appear to cancel each other out. These findings challenge the fundamental understanding of reality, suggesting that the universe is far more interconnected, probabilistic, and mysterious than previously imagined.

D56 - The first day in the fourth week of flower. She is definitely in late flower now with yellowing leaves. I checked her trichomes for the first time today, and I already see amber. Not a lot, but still. D62 - She is showing quite a bit of amber now, so I will cut her down in a day or two. I never experienced an auto that finished in such a short time. Two months is just insane.

In future I must take not that lamb’s Breath can thrive in cold conditions, but I am going to witness if the growth will accelerate or just level out with the coming of spring. Week 6 starts with a mild weather but in a couple of days a cold front makes land fall in Jozi and the last brought snow, but my babies survived and look at the love of my life, showing aggression when it comes to growth… I wonder if the transplant and the extreme cold will hinder growth, nature does miracles in front of us on a daily. She’s loving the compost mix, hopefully she will love her new home, if my calculations are right, all I have to do is only add nutrient only when I defoliate. The amount of nutrients in this medium is boardline toxic.

🗓️ Week 8 Flower, week 14 total 🍊 🍪🌲 Mandarin Cookies #2 (back right) is finishing up. MC #1 (back left) & MC #3 (Center) still have probably another solid week to fatten up. All MC’s are on a diet of water only, PH 6.2 🥈🥦 Silver Kush #1 (front left) has a solid week left. SK #2 (front right) is pretty far behind. I’ll probably just cut #2 down and dry it where it’s at, when I cut SK #1. I can’t postpone my next grow just to let the small one get a few more grams. More than likely it’ll all go in the bubble bags. I hope to have them all cut and drying by next week. ✂️ 🌲 💧 🗓️ Feeding schedule for S.K. since MCs are water only: 1 gallon water/nutes per 2 plants every other day PH 6.2 MC’s are on water only Flush. PH 6.2 ⛏️ Soil: (1.5 C.F.) Fox Farm Ocean Forest, mixed with (1.5 C.F.) garden soil, fills (5) 5 galllon fabric pots perfectly. (50/50 mix.) 💡 Again, The new version of Spider Farmer SF-4000 is an awesome light, for anyone wondering. Can’t say enough good things about this light! This is my first LED and it seems to be doing fantastic. (The pictures: I re added the overall and video from last week, day 6. It was the final minutes before the light shut off. So pretty close to day 1, week 8...)

Only 7 weeks to go. I'm noticing some leaves are browning. It's mostly leaves that get little light, but I believe it may be over watering. Gonna reduce how often I water for right now. The plant itself smells little to me, to others its very noticeable. Not skunky at all, more of a cookies and cream scent I believe. Also slight wpm residue, tried watering thru the leaves because of how low the plant is. Terrible idea.

Ultima Semana amigos!Ya para el dia de hoy llervamos 24 horas de escuridad para darles 24 horas mas para pasar a picar las plantas. Hoy haciendo esta publicacion le quedan 24 horas mas de oscuridad, osea mañana miercoles es el 2do dia de oscuridad para picar. Noto muchos terpenos, en cuanto a produccion, ésta sepa no produce muchos cogollos,eso lo lei luego de ya sembradas, se ven muy bien, les estare contando hacerca de sus efectos, pero su olor es fuerte, me tioene toda la casa olorosa a frutas. Muy contento y deseoso de probar esta sepa. Luego de cuidarlas mucho, se ven alegres, para pasar al proceso de secado, esperen a las cosecha amigos, y gracias por tooodo su apoyo. UN ABRAZO GRANDE A TODOS, buenos humos!
