Week 9! We're reaching the home stretch! I defoliated "J", heavily and super cropped her taller tops. She also is the only one to receive nutrients. The crop is still pretty hefty, so we'll water them 🌞 tomorrow.
"J" is happy in her space and is content staying in Veg, indefinitely. I don't have the requirements to flip her into Flower and won't for quite some time, growing Photoperiods was not in the setup or budget.
There is still no smell to speak of, except when you manipulate her, she gives off a citrus, pine aroma.
This grow has been fairly easy going so far, no real issues to report. I'd like to thank 🙇♀️🏾 @WeedSeedsExpress and I look forward to growing their many different strains.
Finally, let me apologize for the quality of my 📸 camera, or lack thereof.
July 29, 2021, Thursday. I watered the crop thoroughly and rotated them. The girls (other than "J") are watered with pH'd tap water, that fluctuates between 6.2 & 6.4.
July 30, 2021, Friday. Girls are chillin'. I'm really having a BLAST! I knew I was going to love cannabis cultivation, but this is something else. I've taken to it, like a 🦆 duck to water. I can't wait to see what more knowledge and experience will reveal.
Anyone that's been on the fence about whether to grow or not, do it. Just go ahead and do it. Only thing I regret, is not being able to afford more 💡 lights and fans.
Or if you want to grow vicariously, you can always sponsor me.
July 31, 2021, Saturday. Everything is peachy.
August 1, 2021, Sunday. I watered the girls today. I moved "J" into the "Veg Desk" and she seems to be adapting to her new environment quite nicely.
Freeman's birthday is just days away! Freeman the person, not the plant. As I mentioned earlier in the diary, this grow has been in secret and is a surprise birthday present. I tell Freeman everything that happens in my life, so keeping this secret was a bit fun.
I look forward to August 5, for the big reveal to Freeman! Stay tuned!
August 2, 2021, Monday. Nothing to report.
August 3, 2021, Tuesday. Watered the ladies thoroughly.

Transplanted and separated into a 4x8 and 5x5 started to get deficiencies I think either cal or mag maybe even a little of both I flushed the soil in case ph was off in the soil then a couple had nitrogen deficiency so I gave them a tea last night will see how they look tonight when I’m off work once they are healthy I’ll flip to flower

we are entering the 3rd week of flowering. she looks healthy and continues to feel well. the buds are getting thicker and thicker. this week she was given a homemade fertiliser made from aquafaber, coffee grounds and bannan peel. she really liked it. and in addition to the biobizz fertiliser schedule, she is given biobizz topmax once a week.💪😋 i did a bit of lollipopping.

Hi Growers.
So all 3 FastBuds Pineapple Express Auto seeds popped in less than 3 days. I’ve left them uncovered, added a humidifier and turned a fan on low to just to give them a little wiggle. They were sprayed and lightly watered in a 4” circle around the stalks to have those roots go search for water.
Just gonna give them some time and mist for a week and start super low feeding according to the FastBuds auto feed schedule. I’m looking forward to seeing these babies grow!!!
Happy Growing 🌱

Weekly update for these two beauties. From sprout to this point they've grown like Champs. A little calmag issues a few weeks back but over all nothing major. Still spraying PureCrop every Monday as preventive maintenance for pest,mold, or any other topical problems. I upped to feeding to 2000ml everyother day and alternating from nutes to just Ph'd water. Until next week's update grow fam Happy Growing my fellow growers.

Day 91 from seed! She's been fed/watered every 4 days (when media is 90% dry) with 2.5 gallons flood-and-drain style of the above listed nutes.
Other than that, I have only been plucking the occasional leaf that looks at me funny! :)
Next week is flush week! I'll start next week by dragging her into the bathtub, to flow 50 gallons of tap water through the roots.
Then she will be on plain tap water(2.5 gallons every 4 days) for two waterings - She should be dry on day 100, and ready for harvest!

The apparent potassium deficiency has got me worried about how to get some into the plants ASAP. Therefore, I have purchased some Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster, courtesy of Amazon Prime! Sadly, this seems to be of inorganic nature. However, I need to rectify the issue quickly, so this seemed the best option.
Another possibility is light burn, as the plants have grown as tall as my tent! 6ft! So I have turned down the lighting to 60%. This seems quite likely as my FBP2 is considerably shorter than FBP1 and FBP3, and this plant does not have the same issues.
The new dehumidifier has managed to get the RH down to around 49%. Considering it was up to 99% this week. I definitely am trying my best to avoid the dreaded bud rot!
I added a large amount of Silica as the stems are decreasing in strength under the weight, so hopefully that will help. Additionally a Potassium deficiency itself can cause weaker stems, so I'm trying everything, (possibly overkill) to correct my oversights on this.
All in all I've learnt many things from this 1st grow. Most importantly the necessity of LST, to prevent the plants from getting so tall, and that will avoid the light stress.
The trichomes are still mostly clear through the jewellers loupe. From what I can tell as my eyesight isn't too good. It's difficult to tell milky from clear to me.
21.8.24;
I just did a defoliation, I removed many more leaves today 🍃 things are getting super crowded in the 4x4, even with both tent doors open. I adjusted the plants, alternating so that each side of each plant gets correct lighting (as best I can manage)!
I gave the plants each;
*1ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Ecothrive Flourish.
**2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster.
****2ml in 1ltr of dechlorinated water, of Cal-Mag.
My fan also broke, so I moved my lounge fan into the grow room. It's a lot more powerful, even on the lowest setting, so I tried to disperse it trying as best as possible.
Thanks for reading my diary 🙂

LA is doing lovely, she's was originally the tallest but after folding her like a lawn chair after a big day on the beers her upward growth has slowed right down and she's starting to push outwards like I was anticipating. LA punch is an unreleased genetic from Cali connection. I suggest if you top her to top her once. Relax on the defoilation and let her grow out. She is quiet compact and wants to stay together so you need to try and be forceful to get your way but do be careful. Doesn't like stress in the sense of defoilation and topping early on but handles high PH, high EC and high temperatures so far but obviously not for long otherwise you can seriously stunt your ladies.
Light went from 60% to 90% over Week 5 to Week 6, next 2 days she'll be at 100% ready for flowering.
2 set AC infinity bar lights will go in over this week as well as my scrogg net.
Nutrients this round
Floramax veg1
Floramax organabud
Floramax flowering enhancer ( 1/4 ) dose
Flairforms roots
Sleepz with the fishes ( pythoff )
Cyco platinum series silica

Day 30. Girls will get heavy feed in a sec. They recovered well from mini lolitoping session.
Made mini upgrade in Grow room. All 3 quantum boards are now on one platform. Plus i ordered 2 month ago led strips from China, so even with 3M tape ( what i don't believe was original 3M ) they just didn't glue properly and after 2 days fell off.
Plus its not even close to grow light, no power at all. Guess its my most stupidly spent 15 quid in all grow career. Wanted some mini red boost for flower, but ill just take them down.
Girls grow really nice, some are stretched , some are a bit dwarfy. But in general all good, no female or hermie signs tho.
Left 3 or 4 nods at that time, all lower part was cleaned with razor.. Didnt use any prevention, but girls healed well. Think flower not far away too....
Day 30 . EDIT : Girls are showing sex, so flowering started ? !!!! ;)
Day 32. Girls loved heavy feed, all stretching and flowering. Some strains are obviously smaller than others, will be fun to guess what is what ;)))
Can't wait to give all tent to them, autos are on the end stretch. 3 more weeks max and all tent will be pure bag seed go ;)
Happy Growing !

Hello fellow growers,
It's already week 6 and she's doing excellent as far I can tell.
She is slowly developing her bud sites and my girlfriend says it's getting pretty stinky in there.
I switched to bloom nutrients this week.
The only thing I am still indecisive about is whether or not I should defoliate, tuck the leaves or leave her alone.
I asked a few other growers and it seems like a polarizing topic. Please feel free to give your opinion 👍.
That's it for now! As usual, thanks for stopping by, and see you next week 😎.

Die Buds wirken kommpakter, größer und „fertiger“. Außerdem zeigt die Lady nun eine wunderschöne Farbentwicklung: Einige Blätter verfärben sich in Richtung Gelb-, Orange- und Lilatöne, was optisch fast wie ein Herbstwald wirkt und typisch für eine spätere Phase
Im Vergleich zur letzten Woche wirkt sie buschiger, voller und insgesamt homogener. Die Triebe bilden jetzt eine kleine „Blütensilhouette“, fast wie eine Miniatur-Stadt aus Türmchen.
Jetzt sieht sie stolz aus und zeigt, was sie kann. 🌿✨
