WEEKLY UPDATES:
9/20- 💥BOOM!💥 Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes!
Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance.
9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn.
She continues to have a great deep green color that is beautifully contrasted by the snow white trichomes piling up on them! Her height has not really increased but she is extremely bushy with tight node spacing which will necessitate plucking some leaves to keep the light penetrating into her canopy.
9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Five of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come!
I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings.
I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ and let her enjoy her meal! 😜
9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 0.75g watering.
~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

Welcome to week 3 📅 Day 15 6/21/2021 She is now feeding from the reservoir and things are going great. The micro top has almost fully recovered and the undergrowth is growing nicely.
I would like to say a few words about Mars Hydro. the TS 1000 is a great light and I love the fact that the power supply is capable of being separated from the light and located outside of the tent to keep the heat down. I also like the fact that you can control the light intensity and daisy chain with another light witch is what I plan on doing.
Update Day 18 6/24/2021 she is growing fast and drinking lots as I have had to top up the res. I have also put the TS 1000 at 100% and the plants love it

Day 12 of flower. Almost done with week 2 of flower and everything is on point. They’re stretching but nothing too crazy. I’m giving them less water but will be watering at least twice per week. They’re steady drinkers. This strain finishes in 8-9 weeks so harvest time isn’t that far away. It’s been a long journey, much longer than it should’ve been but it is what it is. Can’t wait to be finally done with this grow! Catch yall on the next update! ✌️🏾

Explosive growth after one week! Looking to do a topping and starting some LST next week. Things are looking great and going pretty smooth. The clones are still recovering from the deficiencies they came with.

muy, muy buena semana, las flores se están formando cada vez más y cada vez más grande. Tenía una docena de hojas que se han vuelto amarillas. Creo que espero demasiado para que la tierra se seque. 110 cm en algunas plantas hasta ahora está bien va

Ancora rimango pietrificato dalla struttura di questo gioiellino di Green House seed....sta diventando veramente alta con internodi relativamente corti. Ha iniziato anche a mettere germogli veramente ovunque! Questa è la seconda volta che coltivo questa genetica e ricordo che anche la prima volta fú un successo, anche se questa volta penso lo sia ancora di più! Anche grazie ai fertilizzati di CANNABOOM ( stavo utilizzando plagron per queste fanciulle ma poi ho deciso di cambiare la loro dieta) che sinceramente hanno fatto il loro grandissimo lavoro ! Già alla seconda applicazione ho potuto notare tutto il loro potenziale! Il CALMAGSI e veramente eccellente un prodotto con calcio magnesio ferro e SILICIO! Veramente questa azienda offre prodotti di qualità elevatissime a prezzi veramente modici! È il bello è che sono anche super concentrati, ce ne sono parecchi che ne basta 0.1 o alcuni addirittura 0.02 quindi parliamo che puoi fare veramente molti litri! Ma adesso tornando alla nostra carissima KING'S JUICE AUTO, penso che questa coltivazione sia veramente un grande successo...(almeno lo spero)
Ringrazio veramente tanto i ragazzi di CANNABOOM per avermi consigliato al meglio ogni piccolezza, e ringrazio anche GREEN HOUSE SEED per la loro scrupolosità nel consigliarmi che seme coltivare! Spero di fare ancora tanti diari per queste due aziende a mio parere LEADER NEL SETTORE!
Miraccomando restate sintonizzati! Alla prossima settimana!!!! Grazie mille a tutti voi che mi supportate sempre anche con un semplice mi piace!

The girl is experiencing a lot of stress this week: 1-LST, 2- Freezing of the leaves of the marigolds, and small branches, as much as it was a pity to do it - I "had to" do it, so that in the future it would only be better for her :) I believe that she will recover soon and will be able to continue her growth :) Also this week, Megina received Biotabs nutrients as recommended in their schedule :) Good luck to everyone :).

12/31:
They are both coming along nicely.👍
Today was the first day in which I fed them some Big Bloom and Boomerang along with humic acid, pH'd to 6.1.
1/3:
I've been letting them dry out a bit for the last two days. They've got roots coming out the bottoms now...I'll probably transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots tomorrow or the next day.
I ordered a 4' 180w tube light with 578 LEDs..it has a 360 degree beam with 3000k and a bunch of 660nm. It's waterproof, so no worries about keeping it beneath my canopy to illuminate the lower branches and hopefully increase the density of those buds that never get much top-lighting.
Today, I mounted my two new 24w UVA LED lights (395-405nm) to my frame. I'll run them 6 hours a day from the time I put the plants into my closet, until harvest. It is my understanding that exposure to UVA, particularly during the vegetative stage, triggers many different plant defense hormones, which speed growth and can increase heartiness to withstand constant exposure to UVB without suffering as much cellular damage as usual.
I'm also ordering a 2' Solacure FlowerPower UVB (285nm-310nm) next week to use during flowering to stress the plants and increase trichome production.
1/4:
I did a few foliar feedings with big bloom and fulvic acid today.
1/5:
Transplanting day. I dusted their roots with magic dust and transplanted them into 5 gallon pots today. I had some excellent compost with biochar and myco that I mixed into their soil, too. I watered them in with about 2 quarts of their first taste of full strength veg nutes, plus mycorrhizal fungi, trichoderma, beneficial bacteria, and humic acid, then I sprayed them with biotabs boomboom spray when finished. The were moved into the closet under the quantum boards, UVA's, and a pair of MiracleLED blue bulbs. I'll start adding far-red spectra to the equation in the next few days.

V8, supuestamente hoy haría transplante a los maceteros definitivos, pero, hace 3 días que las plantas están presentando hojas débiles y dobladas hacia abajo, en un principio pensé en que podría ser exceso de agua, pero creo que es exceso de nutrientes, básicamente exceso de nitrógeno, ya que las hojas están con un verde muy oscuro y algunas están presentando manchas color café.
Así que hoy les hice lavado de raíz, con agua EC 0, hasta que el drenaje fue de cercano a 4 EC. Esperaré unos días a ver si se recuperan, si no, simplemente las eliminaré y empezaré de nuevo, ojalá se recuperen.
V9, al final si era exceso de nutrientes/nitrógeno, menos mal que se recuperaron con el lavado de raíces, pensé que morirían, ahora veré como siguen para decidir si hago transplante hoy mismo.
V10, se realizó trasplante a macetas definitivas y un riego suave. Las plantas están todavía en recuperación, esperaré unos días más para empezar el LST.
V12, riego.
V13, se realizó una pequeña defoliación y LST.

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE
(Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary
https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 )
(FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary
https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402)
(Urea & Micros on the way — first week running without them)
🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶
💧 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix
🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶
Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A)
7 L warm water (~35–40 °C) → added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear.
That’s the calcium + nitrogen backbone for the feed.
Step 2 – FERMAKOR PK Base (Part B)
15 L water in the main barrel → added 30 ml FERMAKOR PK Concentrate, mixed well.
This forms the main P + K part of the formula.
Step 3 – Combine Solutions
Slowly poured the Calcinit mix into the barrel while stirring — no reaction, still crystal clear.
That confirms the mix is stable and precipitation-free.
🌿 Step 4 – FPJ / FFJ Batch
Added 30 ml homemade FPJ (fish + veg batch) ≈ 1 ml/L.
Color shifted to a light-amber tone — looks alive and active.
🍋 Step 5 – Citric Acid Balance
Added 1 tsp citric acid after everything was blended to fine-tune pH and help chelate micros later on.
📦 Step 6 – Top Up & Check
Filled to the 30 L mark with plain water → pH tested with drops, showing yellow-green — roughly 5.8 – 6.0 range.
Nice clean look, stable smell, no residue.
💧 Current Base Ingredients (Active Mix)
Warm Water ≈ 22 L total
Calcinit 45 g → N + Ca foundation
FERMAKOR PK Base 30 ml → P + K support
Citric Acid 1 tsp → Chelation + pH balance
FPJ / Fish Emulsion 30 ml → Organic enzyme booster
Result: clean amber mix, mild and balanced.
I’ll let this version run for a week before adding anything.
👀👀👀👀👀👀
Observations and changes
👀👀👀👀👀👀
27.10.25 VW27 noticed some min burnt tips so I decreased Calcium Nitrate 45 to → 40g, decided to add two more elements micros and Epsom salts just to make sure they got everything, Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros): 0.5 g, Epsom salts: 8 g
28.10.25 VW27 she seems devoid of any deficiencies, seems ready for the flip to 12/12
02.11.25 VW27 girl is looking good so I decided to stop making daily videos and do a standard once a week update.
09.11.25 aVW28 7 days since flip,stretch in full swing, first pistils showing, leaf color deep and healthy. Slight tip burn early week → gone after pH stabilized.
Feed stayed clear, no residue, roots clean and sweet-smelling, did what I hope is a last cleanup and pruning🎥
10.11.25 VW29 added Phosphoric acid pH down to the schedule for flowering stage.
14.11.25 FW1 FERMAKOR PK Micros 40 → 50 ml
23.11.25 FW2 got some burnt tips, observe and act accordingly in case it worsens, diluted by 25% for this week.
🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱
🌿Day to day tasks & actions 🌿
🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱
23.11.25 FW1 – Fed 3l of #1 → 1l runoff
24.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
25.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
26.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
27.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
28.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
29.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
30.11.25 FW2 – Fed 5l of #1 → 2l runoff
🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶
💧 Nutrients in 30 L #1 Veg — FERMAKOR
🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶💧🍶
💧 Calcium Nitrate (Calcinit / Nitcal):
45 g → 40 g → 35 g
= 1.33 g/L → 207 ppm N + 253 ppm Ca
= 1.17 g/L → 183 ppm N + 224 ppm Ca (current)
💧 PK Concentrate (FERMAKOR Base):
30 ml → 40 ml → 50 ml
= 1.00 → 1.33 → 1.66 ml/L
→ balanced 1:1 P:K + light micros (from extract)
💧 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Fish + Veg):
30 ml
= 1.00 ml/L
Epsom Salt (MgSO₄·7H₂O):
8 g
= 0.27 g/L → 26 ppm Mg + 35 ppm S
💧 Fetrilon Combi 1 (Micros):
0.5 g
= 0.017 g/L
→ Fe 0.7 ppm • Mn 0.7 ppm • Zn 0.3 ppm • Cu 0.3 ppm • B 0.1 ppm • Mo 0.02 ppm
Phosphoric Acid (pH down) + Citric Acid (chelation):
→ First set pH with phosphoric acid
→ Add a little citric only if extra chelation is needed
💧 Target pH: 5.8 – 6.0 (drop test yellow-green)
📦 TOTAL Inputs:
60 ml → 70 ml → 80 ml / 48.5 g per 30 L
= 2.00 → 2.33 → 2.66 ml/L + 1.62 g/L (current)

Beginning to grow which has made me happy seems to be growing steady! Ph level of 50 air temperature 24/26
