Day 101, been cutting off fan leaves on lower nodes, adding ice cubes and spraying cold water on buds. Expecting about 5 more weeks till harvest but I donโ€™t know just guessing Also I donโ€™t know how to change the question so Iโ€™m gonna put it here, has anyone tried to defoliate some smaller colas then tie them together will that be beneficial for bigger bud(promote one another) or is it better to leave oxygen to pass through, thanks

I almost stripped them naked kinda but I need to get more light to the lower bud sites otherwise they are pretty much popcorn. The Green Gelato is happily starting to produce flowers while the Lemon Cherrys are taking their time to stretch one of them is almost 130cm tall and that was the 1 that was the most behind in the early weeks ahhahaha.

Hey guys :-) A lot has happened this week :-). She has developed very well. Today it was topped on the main shoot for the first time. How often I will use topping on her, I make it dependent on how everyone else develops. I want to bloom soon so it won't happen very often :-). It was poured twice this week with 1 l each time (for nutrients, see table above). Fast plant spray from GBL was applied 2 times this week. New was added this week Fast Bud from GBL is preparing her for the coming flowering. Bio Grow Stay away for a while because the substrate is 30-50 % consists of fresh earth and the ladies are nice and dark green :-). Today there was another spray with neem oil against the remaining tripse which I will repeat one last time next week. As always, everything was cleaned and checked. Have fun with the update and stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ You can buy this strain at : https://gardenofgreenseedbank.com/candyland/ Water ๐Ÿ’ง ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

๐Ÿ’œ Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 14 ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ The Queen Has Come Down โ€“ One Massive Cola, Countless Beautiful Details ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ“ธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Well, my friendsโ€ฆ Our Queen has come down. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ But not before we gave her one last opportunity to shine in front of the camera! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ And honestly? I'm super happy with this girl. She's beautiful. She's impressive. She's covered in details that make you want to grab the camera and get closer. And that massive cola? Oh, my goodness. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ That's one of those structures that makes you stop for a moment, look at the plant, and appreciate what you've been watching develop throughout the entire journey. But before we get carried away with the photographs, let's explain where we are, why this update is still being published as a flowering-week report, and what happens next. Because, as with the other girls we've recently harvested, this is not the end of her story. It's simply the end of her time standing in the tent. The next chapter will cover the harvest and trimming process, with more details about the final result. For now, let's celebrate Purple CousKush Pheno A. Our Queen. Our massive cola. Our beautiful flowers. And a photography session that gave us plenty to appreciate. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ข WHY ARE WE REPORTING THE HARVEST IN A FLOWERING-WEEK UPDATE? Let's explain this again for everyone following the individual diaries. Yes, this is a flowering-week report, even though Purple CousKush Pheno A has now been harvested. And no, we haven't forgotten how the diary works! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š GrowDiaries has limitations on the number of photographs we can include in an individual update. When we reach a stage like this, there is simply too much we want to document to squeeze everything comfortably into one report. We have the final photographs in the tent. We have the studio session. We have the macro photographs. We have the stacking process and the behind-the-scenes work. And then, of course, we have the harvest itself, trimming, and everything that follows. Trying to put every part into one update would mean leaving out details that deserve their own space. So we're following the same approach we've used for the other plants reaching harvest. This flowering-week report documents her final appearance, the photography, and the transition out of the tent. The harvest and trimming report will follow separately. That way, we can give each stage the attention it deserves without sacrificing the photographs or the story. And because these are individual phenotype diaries, each plant gets her own report. Even when several girls come down around the same time, their stories remain separate. That's the plan, my friends. One plant. One diary. One story at a time. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ A QUICK RECAP โ€“ THE 12/12-FROM-SEED JOURNEY Before we say goodbye to her flowering chapter, let's remember what this entire adventure has been about. The 8ร—8 Adventure has been running on a 12/12 light schedule from seed. We didn't give the plants a separate, extended vegetative period before changing the schedule. Instead, we followed their development under the same overall light cycle and documented how the different cultivars and phenotypes expressed themselves. And that's what makes this project so interesting. We've had plants with different heights, structures, growth patterns, flowering characteristics, and individual personalities. Some became tall. Some remained compact. Some developed more open structures. Others produced dense, impressive flower formations. And Purple CousKush Pheno A? She's given us plenty of reasons to smile. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ The same room provided the stage. The same general environmental strategy supported the plants. And the genetics gave us different expressions to observe. We haven't tried to force every plant into the same shape or pretend they all developed identically. We've simply grown them, documented them, and watched their individual journeys unfold. And now, after all those weeks, our Queen has reached harvest. I'm genuinely happy with what we've seen from her. This is exactly why we keep these individual diaries. Because the journey matters just as much as the final photograph. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ OUR QUEEN HAS LEFT THE TENT There are plants you enjoy growing. There are plants you enjoy photographing. And then there are plants that make you appreciate the entire journey when you finally stand back and look at them. Purple CousKush Pheno A has given me that feeling. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ I'm super happy with her. And I want to make that clear. This isn't just about one massive cola or a handful of beautiful macro photographs. It's about seeing the result of weeks of development and having the opportunity to document it properly. She has her own character. Her own flower structure. Her own visual expression. And now, we have the photographs to preserve that final moment before the next stage begins. We took her out for a studio session, and of course, I couldn't resist taking a whole bunch of shots. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ You know me by now. Give me a beautiful plant, a camera, and a little time in the studioโ€ฆ and suddenly, everything else can wait. But honestly, I think she deserves it. She's our Queen. Let's treat her like one. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ THAT MASSIVE COLA! Let's talk about the obvious. That cola. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ Because some structures deserve their own moment in the report, and this is definitely one of them. When you look at a plant throughout its development, you become familiar with its overall shape. You see the branches. You see the flowers. You watch the individual structures develop. But when you finally get to look at the plant in the studio, with the opportunity to photograph it properly, certain details suddenly stand out. And that massive cola is one of them. It's the kind of structure that makes you want to move around it, look at it from different angles, and see how much detail the camera can capture. From a wider view, you appreciate the overall form. Move closer, and the individual flowers begin to reveal themselves. Move closer again, and suddenly you're looking at an entirely different world. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ That's one of the things I love about documenting plants this way. The whole plant tells one story. The individual cola tells another. And the macro photographs reveal yet another layer. One plant. Different perspectives. Plenty to appreciate. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ STUDIO TIME โ€“ ONE LAST CHANCE TO SHINE Before moving into the next stage, we took Purple CousKush Pheno A into the studio and captured a collection of photographs. And I'm glad we did. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ The studio gives us a different opportunity to appreciate the plant. In the tent, we're looking at her as part of the complete environment. We're looking at the canopy, the neighbouring plants, and the overall structure. In the studio, we can focus entirely on her. No distractions. No other plants competing for attention. Just Purple CousKush Pheno A and the camera. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ And when you have a beautiful plant in front of you, that's a very enjoyable place to be. I wanted to preserve her appearance at this stage of the journey. The overall structure. The massive cola. The individual flowers. The frost. The details that can easily be missed when you're simply walking past the plant every day. Because once she's harvested, we can't recreate this exact moment. The plant has moved on. The flowering chapter is complete. So these photographs become part of her record. And honestly, I think they make a beautiful way to close this stage of the diary. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY โ€“ WHEN THE FLOWERS BECOME A WORLD OF THEIR OWN If you've followed the previous Purple CousKush updates, you'll know that I love getting close to these flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ And this week is no different. The macro world has a way of changing your perspective. You start with the whole plant. Then you look at an individual cola. Then you choose one flower. And before you know it, you're exploring tiny details that are almost impossible to appreciate from a normal viewing distance. The texture. The layers. The trichomes. The pistils. The little variations in the surface of each flower. Every photograph gives you another way to appreciate the same plant. And that's what makes macro photography so enjoyable for me. It's not simply about making something look bigger. It's about looking more closely. It's about noticing. It's about taking the time to explore details that might otherwise pass unnoticed. And Purple CousKush Pheno A gives us a beautiful subject for that. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ BEHIND THE SCENES โ€“ HOW DO WE MAKE A FOCUS STACK? This week, I also want to show you a little of what happens behind the photographs. Because when you see a macro image with so much detail in focus, you might wonder how it was created. And that's where focus stacking comes in. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ“ธ When photographing a tiny subject at high magnification, the depth of field can be extremely shallow. In simple terms, only a small part of the subject may appear sharply focused in a single photograph. You can focus on one section of a flower, but other sections in front of or behind that focus plane may appear blurred. And that's completely normal. The closer you get, the more noticeable this limitation becomes. So, for certain photographs, we can use a technique called **focus stacking**. Instead of relying on a single photograph, we capture a series of images with the focus shifted slightly between frames. Each image records a different part of the subject in sharp focus. Then, using software, we align the photographs and combine the sharp areas into one composite image. The goal is to produce a photograph with more apparent depth of focus than a single frame could provide under the same conditions. That's the basic idea. One photograph captures one slice of the subject. A stack combines the useful focused details from several slices. And when it works well, the result can reveal an incredible amount of detail. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ FROM CAMERA TO COMPUTER โ€“ THE STACKING WORKFLOW The photographs you see aren't always the end of the process. Sometimes, they're the beginning. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ The general workflow looks something like this: ๐Ÿ“ท **1. Capture the sequence** We take a series of photographs of the same subject, shifting the focus gradually between frames. ๐Ÿ” **2. Review the images** We check the sequence and make sure we have the frames needed to cover the different areas we want in focus. ๐Ÿ’ป **3. Align the photographs** The images may need alignment before they're combined, especially if there are tiny changes in framing between shots. **4. Stack the images** The software analyses the photographs and combines the areas it identifies as being in focus. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ **5. Inspect the result** We review the composite for artefacts, soft areas, halos, or details that haven't blended cleanly. โœจ **6. Finish the image** If necessary, we make final adjustments to the composite so the photograph represents the subject clearly and naturally. And that's how we go from a series of individual frames to one detailed macro image. Of course, not every stack comes out perfectly. Sometimes movement causes problems. Sometimes the software struggles with certain textures. Sometimes the final image needs a little more work. And sometimes, everything comes together beautifully. That's part of the process. It's photography, not magic. Although, when you see a really good resultโ€ฆ it can feel a little like magic. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽฅ THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES WORK MATTERS TOO I enjoy sharing the finished photographs, but I also like showing some of the work that goes into creating them. Because a beautiful image can involve more than simply pressing the shutter. There's the subject. There's the camera. There's the lighting. There's the focus sequence. And then there's the time spent reviewing, aligning, stacking, and checking the final result. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’ป When everything comes together, the photograph can reveal details that a single frame might not capture clearly. But I also think it's important to be transparent about the process. A focus stack is a composite made from multiple photographs. It's a photographic technique designed to extend apparent depth of focus. It's not one single exposure, and it's not a substitute for the original photographs. For me, the original images and the final stack both have their place. One documents the individual frames. The other lets us appreciate the subject in a different way. And when the subject is a flower as beautiful as this oneโ€ฆ I'm happy to spend the time exploring it. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ DENSE FLOWERS, FROST, AND BEAUTIFUL DETAILS Let's not let the photography discussion distract us from the plant herself. Because the reason we're doing all of this is simple. Purple CousKush Pheno A is beautiful. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ The flower structure is what catches the eye first. Then the density. Then the details that start appearing as we move closer with the camera. And the macro photographs give us another way to appreciate all those little features. The individual flowers. The trichomes. The pistils. The textures. The tiny differences from one area to another. When you're looking at a plant every day, it's easy to become familiar with it. You know what you're seeing. But photography encourages you to stop and examine it again. And sometimes, you discover something that makes you appreciate the plant all over again. That's what I enjoy about this girl. She's already beautiful as a whole plant. But when we start looking at her detailsโ€ฆ there's even more to appreciate. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€“ SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSIONS And once again, let's return to the reason this project exists. The 8ร—8 Adventure brings different plants and phenotypes together in one shared environment. They have the same general room conditions, the same overall lighting ecosystem, and the same grower observing their progress. But they don't all develop in the same way. Different sizes. Different structures. Different flowering patterns. Different individual characteristics. And that's what makes comparing them so interesting. Purple CousKush Pheno A has developed her own identity throughout the journey. Now that she's harvested, we can preserve the final photographs and look back at the complete record of her development. The aim isn't to claim that one plant proves everything about a cultivar. It's to document what happened in this particular run and build a useful record for future comparisons. That's why the individual diaries matter. They let us follow one plant from the beginning to the end without losing her identity among the other girls. And our Queen has certainly earned her place in that record. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS The lighting environment has remained part of the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup used throughout the room. The additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us more lighting capability and flexibility, while allowing us to control the output according to the setup rather than simply running everything at maximum power. LumiFlora also contributes to the lighting ecosystem deeper in the canopy. And throughout this project, one of the most interesting things has been seeing how different plants express themselves under the same general conditions. The environment is shared. The photons are part of the same lighting system. But the plants still develop their own structures and individual characteristics. That's the beauty of the experiment. We provide the stage. The genetics give us the performance. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us a beautiful final act in the tent. ๐Ÿ’œโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for helping us expand the lighting setup and explore what this system can offer. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE GROWER IS HAPPY โ€“ AND THE CAMERA IS BUSY Honestly, my friends, I'm really happy with this girl. And sometimes that's the whole story. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ You don't always need a dramatic problem to solve. You don't always need a major change to report. Sometimes you reach the end of a flowering journey, look at the plant you've grown, and feel genuinely satisfied with what you're seeing. That's where I am with Purple CousKush Pheno A. I'm happy with her. I enjoyed documenting her. I enjoyed taking her into the studio. I enjoyed exploring the macro photographs. And I enjoyed having the opportunity to preserve these final images before moving on to the next stage. Now the camera work can take a little break. Wellโ€ฆ until the next girl catches my attention. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“‹ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Her time in the tent is over, but there's still more to document. ๐ŸŒธ **This report:** Her final flowering chapter, studio photographs, and focus-stacking behind the scenes. โœ‚๏ธ **The next report:** The harvest and trimming chapter, including the details we can properly document at that stage. ๐Ÿ“ธ **The photographic record:** We'll keep the photographs connected to her individual diary so the journey remains easy to follow. ๐Ÿ’š **The bigger picture:** We'll continue building the 8ร—8 Adventure record, one phenotype at a time. I'm not going to squeeze the entire harvest report into this update. It deserves its own space. For now, I want to celebrate the plant we have in front of us in these final photographs. And when the next chapter is ready, we'll continue the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE QUEEN HAS EARNED HER CROWN Week 14. Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno A. Our Queen. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's come down, but before moving on, we gave her the studio time she deserved. We captured the overall plant. We admired that massive cola. We explored the flowers up close. And we spent time with the macro photographs and the focus-stacking process. I'm genuinely happy with this girl. She's been a beautiful part of the 8ร—8 Adventure, and I'm glad we've been able to document her journey individually. This report isn't the final word on her harvest. That chapter comes next. For now, this is a celebration of her final days in the tent and the photographs that preserve this moment. The 12/12-from-seed experiment continues to teach us about the differences between plants sharing the same environment. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us another beautiful story to add to the collection. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the massive cola. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the macro details. And let's appreciate the photography that lets us look at her from a completely different perspective. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ Thank you, Queen.

7 weeks! from what sweet seeds says now I should just wait another week or two and then I could cut it easily, but I don't know. If anyone can advise me on automatic plants I would be grateful! in summary the question is: with automatics only 5/6 weeks of flowering are needed? ๐ŸŒฑ

Whatโ€™s going on ladyโ€™s an gentleman. we got the Moab strains going on W/1 in living soil. They where planted into the root riot cube an treated with neem oil to kill off the fungus gnats, they are thriving now. An getting bigger as the day goes. They will be trans planted into the auto pot system at end of this week. Into the 2x4. Under the double UFL3000 mounted on custom frame. Pumping 402w from the wall. Currently both the girls are in the veg/solo cup cabinet under the UF2000 100w light. Currently 60% rh and temps running 79 lights on. Thanks for viewing an happy growing!

Greetings fellow growers ๐Ÿ–– 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! ๐Ÿ–– [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 ยฐF --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 ยฐF --- Room average temp was at 85 ยฐF --- 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 ยฐC - [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 ยฐF --- Lowered AC to 75 ยฐF --- 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.

So, she is starting to fatten up. Drinking about 3-4 gallons of water a day. I have 21 colas that are reaching the top net or grown past the top nest. Then I have 35-45 more buds that donโ€™t reach that top net but are getting big as well.

51 Days in flower have passed. This week i got myself an upgrade, new light the FC-E3000 and a 120x60 grow tent so i can grow some bigger and better medicine. I love the specs on the light, the price was right and so i have high expectations from looking at other peoples reviews of the light. We will see if im able to hit the jackpot with this! ๐Ÿค  The girls are looking great! Cheese left, Gorilla Girl right. the pictures and videos are self explanatory, its looking awesome!!! If you ever wondered where i stashed the Runtz and Bruce Banner; i took them out of the grow tent and just put them in the corner of my house without light only surviving off the light in the shadow from the sun, they have been neglected for a while but they still went on super strong, they started flowering 3 weeks ago so i had to put them into reveg so they look a little odd now but its all good. it was either that or i would have to throw them in the trash, and im not gonna waste some nice strains like that. Im impressed how they have survived with almost no light and water. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Week five of flower This week they have just been fed water by the autopots , I added a little calmag as there was a deficiency. Tomorrow I will give them a little Canna Flores as they look hungry. I clearly didn't give them enough bio bloom, in the soil. The jacks Toe jam has gone from lemon amnesia , to sweet with a little cheese aroma. So I will harvest her in the coming week as the trichomes are 90% cloudy. Apart from that another flood in the cellar so been bailing out buckets , my tent is on a pallet.
