Things are getting frosty around here! Critical Cures are at the top of the class. Critical Mass is in second. Charlotte's Angels are in third. Durga Mata is in fourth, with Blue Shark rounding out the pack as far as blooms are concerned, and how far along they are. This week I used the last of my "Tiger Bloom" and "Big Bloom" and I didn't feel like buying more, so I started making compost tea! It comes from my pile that consists of kitchen scraps, horse, chicken and sheep manure. They seem to be liking it. I also gave them a little nitrogen foliar spray this morning. I've had to spray insecticidal soap twice this week. Smells so fragrant out there, it's attracting a lot of bugs. I sent a pic of one of the Critical Cure's to a friend of mine saying "Not long now!" (As in like 3-4 weeks on this particular plant) to which he replied: "You've still got 6-7 weeks!" No, just no. Same guy also told me my plants would be 8 ft high. Ha! Silly boys.

Over the last two weeks the double Kush Cake Feminized has received a small dose of cal mag and amino fulvic and humic acid. She has recently been flushed and the e.c has been adjusted to her requirements. The bracts from the double kush cake have begun to swell. Her leaves have bleached slightly but not enough to impede her finish. She has completed her growth using the rest of her energy on bud structure with her stigmas beginning to fade. She now stands approximately 61cm from the soil.

Strawberry Amnesia is growing well. She is looking like she will be a shorter plant in the long run. I did some light defoliation on her. Beside that I have not done nothing to her this last week. Everything is looking good.

11/4 Monday. I took 4 buds off of Strawberry Gorilla to dry. I ground a little up, smoking it now. Its nice. Smells like strong diesel right off the plant. 4.4 Maxi-Bloom 1ml Purpinator this week. 11/5 looks good 2pm as long as they are taking up water I'll keep them growing 11/6 9am took a branch from SG 1.39oz so probably an oz or so dry for the whole plant, maybe more. She's great!! 11/7 1am took a branch from Pink Kush CBD, smells great. Gave plain water today all of them. 12pm small sample from DDA still smells like chocolate!! 11/8 4am Did a flush with 2ml Purpinator and 1ml Ripen. After they dry its just water from now on. 12:30pm Took a branch from DDA, She smells like Chocolate!!! 1.2oz x2 plus the other 2 smaller branches at about an ounce. Probably 4oz wet 1 oz dry 11/10 Sunday. I'll have to harvest soon or they will start self seeding. They are all doing great. SG is a great smoke very strong. Opening the buds there are lots of reds. I did not use any Rapid Start or Maxi Grow powder during veg, she would be twice as big if I did that. She is perfect for training and HST

11/05: another week on autopilot. They look like they could use a slight defoliation, but i haven't had a chance to get in there and do it. Will get it taken care of sometime this week. There has been a noticeable growth in flowers this week. No signs of any purple outside of some stems. These look and smell exactly like OG Kush. And that is not what i was expecting at all. I am personally not a fan of OG Kush and so I am really hoping for some significant changes over the next few weeks. If i were growing OG Kush, i would be thrilled with the results. They are growing plump quickly and getting insanely frosty very early - also something that all the OG Kush i have grown does. Alas I am not growing OG Kush, these are what FastBuds told me were Purple Lemonade, and based on all of their marketing material, this is not what I should be seeing or smelling. And im unhappy about that.

******************************************** Growdiaries Grow 22 ******************************************** Welcome to my 22nd grow on growdiaries. I'm going to be stricter on this grow as i have been a bit lax on the last few and let them get out of control. My plan is no more then 12 colas between the 2 plants. I'm going to have a shorter veg period to keep them at a reasonable height. I'm also going to try to keep them away from the sides of the tent more then I normally do. Because I may be going away shortly I'm going to start in the final pot because sods law I'll be away when they need potting up. I'm running 2 photoperiods again, they are both from the MSNL catalogue. Plant #1 Lemon cherry gelato will be on the left looking in the tent and #2 Zoap will be on the right. This diary is focusing on #1 Lemon cherry gelato Nutrients. Ecothrive Neutralise Shogun Katana roots Plagron Terra grow (3-1-2) Plagron Terra Bloom (2-2-4) Plagron green sensation (0-9-10) Plagron power buds (0-0-0) Equipment on Smart plugs. 1. Light= Viparspectra Xs2000 2. Feed= water pump. 3. Extractor= Ac infinity 4. Oscillating fans= 2 on ext. 5. Cameras= 2 on ext. 6. Humidifier= ram 5L 7. Dehumidifier= 2L 8. Radiator= 1KW Tent settings. Light cycle=24/0 Light Power=100W (42%) Photone app has been Calibrated, and I have done a ppfd map over a 40cm×40cm area. Extractor controller settings High temp= 26c Low temp= c Temp step=0c High Rh= 69% Low Rh= % Rh step=0% Speed max=10 Speed min=1 Smart controller settings (during lights on). Radiator on= -20c Radiator off= +21c ******************************************** Germination/Prepwork. ******************************************** 📅1/10/24 Tuesday 📋 Prepared 12L fabric pots, filled with biobizz lightmix, then gave 2L water Ec=0.25 PH=7.0/6.7. Then 1L water with katana roots @5ml/L Ec=0.3 PH=6.3/6.3 No runoff. Placed pot into tent with no light on. 📅2/10/24 Wednesday 📋 Dropped the seed into 40ml of water with 5ml/L katana roots and 0.1ml/L neutralise at 5.00pm. 5.00pm turned light on @ 100w 80cm above the soil, Ppfd=197, 24hr DLI=17.0 10.00pm placed seed into moist paper towel. 📅3/10/24 Thursday 📋 7.30pm tap root breaking through the side of the shell so put the seed into 12L fabric pot, and placed in the tent under constant light. Can't recall ever having a tap root coming through the side before. 📅4/10/24 Friday 📋 9.00pm looks like movement. 📅5/10/24 Saturday 📋 9.00pm not broke ground properly but cotyledons are visible and looks stuck in part of the shell casing. Day 0 ******************************************** Germination summery. 📋 Didn't take that long for the Lemon cherry gelato to start breaking ground, she seems to be struggling to open up at the moment and is a funny yellow colour. I'll give her a few more days and see if I need a backup seed.. Back soon. Take it easy. ********************************************

Runtz Punch has been still giving me issues with the spotting. So I neem oil treated her 4 days ago. It looks like it stopped or slowed down. With the nitrogen toxicity she has been showing I was kinda afraid to do it. It tends to boost the nitrogen when sprayed. I did look for pest under 100 x magnification. I didn't see anything. Regardless, hopefully it is resolved. I might just treat the whole room here to be safe then sorry mid flowering. Beside that everything is still growing and making progress.

Flowering Time 8 – 9 weeks Potassium: A common deficiency in plants grown in sandy soils. Symptoms include yellowing, curling, and browning of leaves, as well as reduced growth and fertility. Potassium is the third major component in fertilisers. Plants absorb Potassium as an ion, which can be readily leached and lost through run-off from the soil. Potassium is needed by the plants to promote formation of sugars for protein synthesis, cell division in plants and for root development. It also increases the plant’s resistance to diseases. Deficiency symptoms: Leaf edge chlorosis on new matured leaves followed by interveinal scorching and necrosis from leaf edge to the midrib as deficiency increases. The chlorosis in potassium deficiency is irreversible even if potassium is given to plants. Nitrogen: A common deficiency that causes yellowing and stunted growth in plants. Nitrogen is easily washed out of the soil by winter rains, leaving plants deficient in spring. Remember Nitrates are highly mobile in soil and ammonium is highly immobile. Ammonium over 30% of total Nitrogen is a problem. 10-30% but no more. Nitrogen is one of the major nutrients commonly applied as fertilisers. Plants absorb Nitrogen in the form of ammonium or nitrate which can be readily dissolved in water and leached away from soil. Nitrogen is needed by plants to promote rapid growth especially for fruit and seed development. Also, it increases leaf size and quality, and hastens plant maturity. Deficiency symptoms: General chlorosis of entire plant to a light green followed by yellowing of older leaves proceeding towards younger leaves. Plants become spindly, stunted and secondary shoots develop poorly if the initial symptoms are not corrected Zinc: A deficiency that can occur in calcareous, high-pH soils that are sandy or have high soil-phosphorus levels. It's most common in spring when conditions are cool and wet. Plants require zinc to activate plant growth regulators, particularly Auxin and Indole Acetic Acid (IAA). Zinc is needed to activate plant growth regulators. Deficiency symptoms: Chlorosis, bronzing or mottling of younger leaves. Interveinal chlorosis of the young leaves followed by reduced shoot growth with short internodes, as well as small and discoloured leaves giving the affected part a rosette appearance Boron: A deficiency that can be caused by high or low pH, sandy soil with low organic matter, or lack of nitrogen. Boron is absorbed from the soil by plants as borate. Boron is needed in the process of cell differentiation at the growing tips of plants where cell division is active. Deficiency symptoms: Plants become stunted and deformed. Proliferation of side shoots known as ‘witches broom’ can be observed as the main stem falls to ensure the growth of the lateral shoot stays dormat. This is known as the loss of apical dominance. In flowering shrubs, new growth becomes dark green and they develop cupped or puckered small brittle leaves with short internodes Sulfur: A deficiency that can be caused by sandy soil with low organic matter or use of fertilizers that don't contain sulfur. Iron: A deficiency that can be caused by high pH or soil low in organic matter. Iron deficiency is similar to Magnesium, except that it appears on young leaves and shoots instead of older leaves. Iron is needed by plants for the synthesis of chloroplast proteins and various enzymes. Deficiency symptoms: Light green to yellow interveinal chlorosis on newly emerging leaves and young shoots. It is common to see shoots dying from the tip inwards. In severe cases, newly emerged leaves may reduce in size and turn nearly white, with necrotic Phosphorus: A deficiency that can be caused by incorrect pH, nutrient imbalance, extreme cold, or excess iron in the growing medium. Phosphorus is the second major component in fertilisers. Plants absorb Phosphorus in the form of phosphate. Phosphorus is needed by plants to promote photosynthesis, protein formation, seed germination, bloom stimulation and budding. It also hastens maturity. Deficiency symptoms: Purple or bronze colouration on the underside of older leaves due to the accumulation of the pigment, Anthocyanin. Affected plants develop very slowly and are stunted compared to normal plants Calcium: A deficiency that can occur in acidic, alkali, or sodic soils. Calcium is a constituent of plant cell wall and provides structural support to cell walls. It is immobile within plants and remains in the older tissue throughout the growing season. Hence first symptom of deficiency appears on the younger leaves and leaf tips. Calcium is needed by plants to produce new growing points and root tips. Deficiency symptoms: New foliage, buds and roots have stunted growth. Younger leaves curl downwards with browning of leaf edges and leaf tips, also known as tip burn. In some plants, they may also show abnormally green foliage. Roots become short and stubby. Magnesium: A deficiency that occurs in similar conditions to calcium. Magnesium is a structural component of the chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium is needed by plants to promote the function of plant enzymes to produce carbohydrates, sugars and fats and in the regulation of nutrient absorption. Deficiency symptoms: Older leaves are chlorotic in between veins, often known as interveinal chlorosis. In severe deficiency, plant growth rate drops, leaf size is reduced, and lower leaves are shed. Manganese Soil shortages are rare, but manganese and iron can be unavailable to plant roots in alkaline conditions. Ericaceous (acid-loving) plants are particularly vulnerable when growing in alkaline soils or potting composts. Manganese acts as an enzyme activator for nitrogen assimilation. Manganese is needed by plants for photosynthesis, respiration and enzyme reactions. Deficiency symptoms: Newly emerging leaves exhibit a diffused interveinal chlorosis with poorly defined green areas around the veins. Chlorosis and necrotic spotting are common symptoms. In severe deficiency, new leaves become smaller and tip dieback can occur.
