22 Aug 2021 Today I’m starting to give some nutrients to assist my ladies in their development. I have been using plain pH’ed water to use the nutrients in the soil before giving anything extra. My girls are looking bleached out and weak. Maybe trying to reduce the nutrients by using the soil for the first week or so in their new homes isn’t paying off. I was hoping to see them flourish, but they aren’t. Growing is all about trial and error, and I’m hoping that my error isn’t going to hurt them in the long run! I’m starting the “Late Growth, stage 4” on my Flora-Trio 6 part feeding chart, but in the beginning I’m going to give them only half of the recommended amount to hopefully prevent any nutrient burn that they might experience. If there are no negative impacts seen, then I’ll adjust the amount as necessary. Today I’m giving them a half gallon of water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 3.8ml, FloraGro 4.5ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml, and Floralicious Plus 1ml. The initial pH was as follows: C1 - 6.4, C2 - 6.3, C3 - 6.3. I did not need to adjust it, so I didn’t. The TDS going in was: C1 - 636 ppm, C2 - 634 ppm, C3 - 653 ppm. I was originally planning on giving each plant a gallon of water, but I received enough runoff after only half a gallon. I guess they still haven’t developed an extensive root system enough to require the additional water. It just made it to where I don’t have to worry about making more to give them in a couple of days. The runoff pH and TDS were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 498 ppm; C2 - pH 6.0, TDS 562 ppm; C3 - pH 5.7, TDS 707 ppm. It’s always funny to see how plants in the same type of soil, and given nearly the same solution still have such varying pH and TDS runoff levels. 🤷‍♂️ That’s all I have to say. It’s a mystery, but not an overly important one as long as they’re healthy. The heat in the tent today was somewhat warm, but not as bad as it has been lately. The temperature was 81F, and the humidity was 56%. I’m hopeful that adding nutrients today will improve their color and get them to start developing their branches some more so I can flip them to flower in a little bit. We’ll have to see how it goes. 25 Aug 2021 Today I gave my ladies the second half of the gallon that I prepared a few days ago. They received the first half gallon on the 22nd, so I’m not going to repeat everything here again. To see what they were given read the note above. I am going to note the runoff levels and the temperature and humidity because they are important to note. Runoff was as follows: C1 - pH 6.0, TDS 610 ppm C2 - pH 6.1, TDS 546 ppm C3 - pH 6.0, TDS 765 ppm Again, it just weird seeing plants with different pH and TDS levels when they’re given nearly the exact same solution. 🤷‍♂️ The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity 62%. Overall, my little ladies are looking better since starting the nutrients. They no longer look bleached out, and the green is returning to her leaves quite well. I decided to measure them today as well to document their growth. C1 is now 16 inches tall, and C2 is 15 inches, and C3 is 16 inches. C1 and C2’s lights were adjusted to be 19 inches away, and C3’s light is at 18 inches to keep the light canopy level. The difference in the light and size is due to the size of the pot C3 is in. She stands taller because her pot is half a gallon larger, but also because the pot has small legs on which it stands on so it sits higher. They’re looking better, so that’s all that I care about in reality. Good luck, and happy growing everyone!!

Week 5 The weather for the last few weeks has been spectacular with no change in sight. I've had to dramatically increase the amount of water, PE1's happily chugging 2 Ltrs now. I've also dialed down the nutes as the very tips started to show possible nute burn. I've purposely not used techniques such as LST. I don't see the point as these are for personal use; i'm not looking for a particularly large yield, just hopefully some good end product. So far the Pineapple's have been a dream to grow especially for a beginner. PE1 continues to explode upwards and outwards and PE2 is catching up fast. I did catch a couple of small aphid colonies on PE 1 & 2, I wiped the leafs and introduced a mantis that I found in the garden; she seems very happy in her new home. So far all seems clear 😀 The Lemonades however are proving a little trickier to read for a beginner grower like me. I've increased water and nutes and will monitor. PL1 looks happy & healthy however, hasn't quite had the growth I've been expecting but again, that's probably my experience or lack thereof; it's very early days so she could stretch in the next couple of weeks. PL2 remains very stunted though. I gave her as much love as her sisters but, it doesn't appear to be enough... kids?! Still, I'm sure it's been my lack of experience so if I get them across the line my overall mark will reflect that.

Breeder Suggested Harvest Window opens tomorrow at day 65 and continues on for 15 days to Dec 15. +Will start the flush process on the 5th of December + 1ST video on Growdiaries. Planned on flushing on the 5th Watered 2.5 gallons. Life scheduled events and had to cut it short a few days and harvest day -NO MATTER WHAT - would have to be the 10th. putting us at Day 75 of flower Flushed with 17.5 gallons Considering water was filtering through soil, it drained ABSOLUTELY clear by the last emtpying of the container I was using to catch Buds are fattening up very nicely. Smells of Lemon/Citrus/Sour ----------------------------------------------------------------- nowayReggie

Primeros días de la semana 7 Los cogollos están agarrando forma Se me hace súper gracioso que 3 de estás plantas salieron del mismo pack de semillas ... Solo una está pintando morado y una de ellas si se acoplo bien al agua Obvio la mas grande😅 Misma genética diferente crecimiento No me quejo ya que se ve que todas me darán algo bueno de medicina.... Uso rootzNutrients ya que es una empresa mexicana y les tengo confianza y es bastante accesible y facil de conseguir aquí...

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Purple Punch F1👈 So we are now moving into week 3 of flower and everything is looking good 👍 Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall 😳 Everything is looking good 👍sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues 😅 So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

This grow is on it’s last lap 🏁 These are by far the most beautiful buds i have grown and would definitely recommend fast buds genetics to anyone. Can’t wait to try these now. Last week i said i was starting the flush but decided to push it back to this week so they only have 1-2 weeks left Will be checking the trichomes daily Let me know what you guys think so far👌🏾🤞🏾

THE REAL STORY ON LIGHTING FOR CANNABIS AND HOW IT MANDATES EVERYTHING ELSE.... MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO FOR KNOWING THE FACTS https://youtu.be/ID9rE5JewVg Today finishes the 5th week of 12/12 and 3 weeks of actual flower. Girls are looking real good. Gone on to feed, feed, water for the next week or 2. Fed the girls today at 800 ppm 1.6 ec the ph was 6.1 going in and coming out was 6.1 The runoff ec was 700 ppm 1.4 ec. Buds are still putting on lenght but their going to start swelling good soon. Their starting now. Length should slow now and bud swelling should take over. Going into the room actually burns your eyes from the dankness.... Can't wait. June 30th Girls are changing to put on bulk and weight now. Grabbed a lower bud for density check. Buds are pretty sticky and very hard. Going to be some good weight coming in the next 3 weeks. Wife came into visit the girls last night and went back out 2 minutes later saying her eyes were burning. Said, welcome to my world... July 1st Watering day for the girls. Ph 6.2 in and 6.1 coming out. Last feed was 800 ppm, 1.6 ec, Runoff ec after watering was 500 ppm, 1.0 ec These girls are asking for more food please and I will respond with 900 ppm, 1.8 ec next feed.. after the week of 1.8ec I will start lowering feed for the ripening process. Girls are putting on weight before my eyes now. Thinking my smallest girl will bring at least 5 oz dried. Branches are heavy already.

7/6/2021 - Trimmed lower fan leaves as they were being blocked completely, and a few tips were yellowing. - Continuing to lightly bend the upper branches so the lowers can catch up. - Bought some Gaia Green veg + bloom dry fertilizers as I expect I'll be flipping to flower soon. 7/7/2021 - Watered in a little bit of Gaia Green's veg fertilizer. - Foliar fed w/ DIY kelp extract. - Yellowing/browing on a new leaf, can't identify what it is. - Staked down the branches on the upper mains this evening to open her up for more light penetration, she was gettin' real bushy. 7/9/2021 - Trimmed out middle to expose canopy

Many updates this week !!! I bought a new tent, twice as big as my initial (60x60 to 120x120), which gave me a lot more space for the reservoir and for the plants. Now I'm feeling like a professional They started to bloom this week and include liquid koolbloom in their diet. I believe that all the work of LST and scrog is almost over and I am very hopeful of having a great harvest with a yield above expectations. Wish me luck =)
