Thank you to everyone who has been following, commenting and liking each week, it keeps the motivation to create the best diaries I can for everyone to enjoy or learn anything they can from. This was another fun run, with stunning colours to finish. She was dried for 7 days before being dry trimmed and jarred for curing. Because I have 4 seperate plants/strains in one tent, under one light, I've had to calculate these by dividing the conditions by 4 (4 plants in total sharing same conditions). This is the fairest and only way to work it out properly. Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

26.03.2024 Continue into week 4 Update firmware on TrolMaster Tent-X (3.6) Replace all filters, remove and clean drain buckets and tubing. Mix new batch with 56ml AN connoisseur AB + 4.5g Big Bud Powder + 7.5ml Silica - total 30l @ 1.34EC. NPK Ratio is 1-2-3 , Cal/Mg ratio is 4-1.5 Target EC for this week is 1.2 start and end week with 1.3. Checking plants will determine timing of strength Donne one pass off long misting (3min) with diluted solution @ 0.84@C Set Day/Night misting cycle @ 60s ON time Finally have time for managing canopy, pull down taller branches and position all tops to fit under screen without touching. Try ro spread them evenly across the net, top per square of net Defoliating all girls, remove all fan leaves and prune lots of smaller branches from middle. Lot of foliage is removed!

This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill solution is @ 18c Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC. I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, I’ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH. Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washing… Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters. The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants. Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye. The wave of warm weather continues all this week. Expected temperatures for the next seven days range from 25-29c.

AC Infinity T6 extracting fan program in AUTO to kick in @ 26c Night temps around 21-23c, dehumidifier work less this week. Outside humidity is low this week Water temperatures in middle off week start to rise, reffiling solution is cooled to bring temp back from 23-24 to 20c Defoliate girls on first day off ths week, pruning off smaler branches, lots off foliage is removed After defoliation humidity drop inmediately in box. Need to bring back humidifier for couple of days. RH was low trough whole week Day RH is moved from 45% to 50% max, at night times drop to 40-45% Next week outside temperatures continue above average for this time of the year. Continue in next week, starting probably with one more light defoliation, bigger fan leaves only

Plant has doubled in size and has budlets growing all over. Top dressed at day 14 yo keep up with food and also did a heavy defoliation and removal of branches that was not to the top of canopy. Almost out of room vertically but I have faith I will squeak out this grow without light stress. No bugs, no wierd growth this run.

day 25: Trying to keep temperature at 23 C level to create perfect conditions for the formation of trichomes but depending on the time of day it varies from to 21 to 26 C Watering volume week 9: day 22 - 28 - 500 ml

Flipped into flower 2 days ago. I added some of the purple diesel from veg to fill up more floor space that way I'm covering a 5x10 no unused space. Max yeilds only! Plus who doesn't love a good diesel! Can't wait to see what these girls do... and the show begins ! 😁😎

Only waiting for the perfect moment now 🧐✌️

Cleaned up the #10 mother, with some defoliation, and LST! She's getting ready for her adventure outside this summer! Took more clones from the #4 mother, and cleaned her up. Happy growing! :)

Day 77...the one grown in soil that survived the dog attack when young, stopped drinking a couple of weeks ago, so got the chop...drying under a tree for 4 days the other 2 grown in coco are doing great and still perhaps a couple of weeks away

1/4 - start of week 5, the broken branch isn't looking good. I installed the 5 arm light which is my biggest light for the veg compartment. 500ppfd right now, drop it 1 inch and I'm just a bit over 600 at canopy level. I'm hoping to get her to recover and ill bend the 2 remaining branches towards each other to fill the gap for a 3 arm lady, still planning to top but now will get 6, 12, and 24 tops...hopefully 1/5 - slight training day, I bound the 3 branches so that they were more uniform and evenly spaced out in the pot. I'll let her take shape a few days with the restraints and the. Top her maybe Friday. 1/7 - she got her topping. I'm leaving 2 nodes on each branch for a total of 12 tops right now. She will get one more topping before its all over for a total of 24 tops, probably 2 weeks out on that. Feeding in the next day or 2. Update: dropped the fan speed to 2 for temp and humidity testing. 1/9 - RAW Feeding tonight, she is starting to recover well from the topping, I now have 15 or so tops with one of the 3 arms splitting into 7 tops rather than 4. I think I will leave her this way to veg out to the height I need without further topping. I’m planning on training the shoots out to the sides so many more tops may develop as new nodes come through. I’m just really hoping she doesn’t start to flower on me early!! 2L distilled water 3g Grow 2g Kelp 0.57g Cal/Mag 2g Microbes Grow Stage 0.63g Amino Acids 0.14g Enzymes 6.0ph 66.9*F 1060ppm Also found a new way to mix my RAW nutrients without having them stick to the bottom...small landscaping pond pump! It gets the water moving nicely and I just drop the dry nutes in, mixes it for me and I can easily fine tune PH and test PPM without having to shake and take samples! Huge win. 1/10 - Another week in the books. Did some fan leaf tucking so the tops had direct light. I'm still trying to grow her sideways so I'm thinking a solid 3 or 4 more weeks of veg. Things should speed up now though. I dont think I will be topping again but we shall see. Topping again would guarantee 30 tops which according to my math is a bit too many for my grow space.

Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

Great week for the Peyote Cookies, faded out beautifully. She stacked up size right until the end. Smells super dank, and her buds are rock hard. Loads of purple in this pheno. Very high calyx to leaf ratio which is what I like to see. Definitely bringing her back into the garden again. Her flush was done for about 20 Days. She’s now down drying.

Day1 of flower defoliated them some more never took a photo of them after tho should have really, and last week uploaded a pic on accident nothing to do with this grow obviously lol

Today March 10th is day 50! I spend a few hours of work every other day to tie branches and manipulate leaves -white pistols are showing -will secure netting and stop using pipe cleaners to tie down at the end of the week -I have been using nutrients about every other watering -1.5 tsp micro .5tsp grow 1.5 tsp bloom in about 2 Litres of water After 2 weeks. Royal Gorilla is the fastest blooming followed by the Green Gelato. The LSD is slower. The HulkBerry I started 4 days later is blooming ok

We are getting close to the finish 🙃 I’m really happy with how the flower went at the end, as the lady’s are really growing bricks Buds are really hard to the touch, one smells really earthy with a touch of diesel, one smells like bubblegum mixed with lemon and two smell like pure juicy lemon diesel. I really didn’t except this, but the smell is incredible and the bud structure too. I’ll start flushing as soon as most of them are milky, I also thought about giving them 3 days of pure darkness at the end, but not sure yet. Thanks for all your advice and feedback so far :)

On day 1 the plants are looking good. I confirmed that my one cola was seeded, so I removed all visible seed pods. After this run I will do a deep cleaning to make sure there is no pollen in my grow box. The rest of my plant colas seem fine... I changed out my reservoir and adjusted the PH to 6.1. I also dimmed my light to 75% to mimic spring conditions. On day 2 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir down to 6.1. The plants are looking great besides a few fox tails from too much light. On day 3 the PH in the reservoir is 6.2. On day 4 I diluted my reservoir with plain water to lower the ppm down to 400 ppm, and I adjusted PH to 6.2 . The buds are ripening for sure and smell great! I haven't gotten any autumn colors yet even though I have dimmed my grow light and lowered my night time temps. I hope by 8 weeks the plants will have some more purple tones but if not I'm good with the flower quality thus far :). The breeder says 7-8 weeks so I'm hoping I am close to the finish line. I will continue to monitor the trichomes for ripeness. On day 5 I adjusted the reservoirs PH to 6.0. I harvested my seeded cola on Pheno #1 as it had stopped growing/ripening and would be a good tester ;) On day 6 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. On day 7 the PH is 6.0 50 % pistils have turned amber so I believe I have entered my harvest window and expect to flush and harvest soon:) very excited!

Week 7 🌸 This week went by rather unproblematicly The Buds are developing, no more Nanas and the smells are getting stronger. Some of the plants will need support for their Buds sooner rather then later, therefore we will be getting Bamboo-Sticks by next week. On Day 43 we defoliated one last time to ensure better light penetration for the lower buds and better airflow for these last weeks of flower. On Day 45 we fed the ladies with again 75% of the week 7 dosage. PH to 6.0, EC: 1.69mS. Drain: pH 6.3, EC: 3.6mS (7% run-off) Day 49: Pink Milk and Fx3 seem to be ahead of the Limonario and will propably come down first. Though they still show new growth and have some time left. The trichomes haven't turned amber, yet. Limonario still has lots of white hair and new growth developing. Terp-Talk 😍: Pink Milk: creamy, gassy, berries💜 Fx3: sweet strawberry, a little creamy❤️ Limonario: lime, mint, lemon balm, fresh, loud💚

I enjoyed these autos quite a bit much more convenient for me, cbd wasn’t too resinous so the trim was much easier than my last experiences, having cbd bud nearby will be very useful.

what a resin monster! such beautiful plants! one of the 2 phenos had straight peanutbutter flavor!
