I fucked up drying. Room RH is 80% plus but I had fans running.. usually, locally, I cant get my dries to go longer than 3 - 5 days.. been drying for 5 days but with the humidity being at 80% - 85% inside the lung room and tent she hasnt even began to dry. Plus, I havent been able to trim her up yet.. just been jiggling the jar around a few times a day and keeping the jar open, inside the tent with an exhaust fan running and another usb fan moving air.. but not blowing on the buds at all.. but around the jar.. so nervous to get mold!!!
Drying still.. but day 3 in jar..
She is still way too wet to be jarred. I have just been shaking the jar around like 4 times a day MINIMUM and keep the jar in he tent with air flow.. humidity is still being a butthead.. but easing up a bit.. down to 70%-ish.. when I do seal the jars, it still reads a little over 70%.. I will keep doing this until I get to about 65% or possibly even as high as 68%.. as long as I keep up the burping.. but so far, I just leave the lid open and keep it in the tent with a couple fans running.. no mold, so she should be good.. still gonna keep flipping the buds a few times a day.. this is going to be some DANK! already tried a few nugs.. still alot of chlorophyll, but she is slowly getting to the cure zone!!!
Drying day 14..
Finally got the jar down to 65% RH.. that took alot of rolling the jar (to move buds around).. at least 4 - 5 times daily for this entire time I trimmed the buds and put them into the jar waaaay too early.. no mold tho.. and the buds dont tear apart anymore. They should start to crumble (kinda) in the next 2 - 4 weeks.. but going to see how things (including weather) are going to go if I only burp once or twice daily. I kinda want to bring the RH down a bit still.. like 62% 🤔 ah shit, I'm so indecisive lol.. probably leave it at 65% for a couple days and then try to get it down to 63% or 62%.. but once I see 59 or 58%.. it should still be good, but I get worried because I have overdried MANY harvests.. just trying to get things dialed in with drying and curing still.. even 4 years into this stuff! Lol.. but I'm getting a better hang of it.. kinda using my own methods mixed with what I find online.. just hard to judge when the plant is ready by snapping stems.. ive waited till the smallest stem I could find was making the "snap" noise.. but when I did that, the RH in the jars was only at 55% and lower.. the taste and smell were completely gone halfway thru the cure.. ive read that anywhere from 55% to as high as 70% RH is good.. but even at 70% I still have wetness issues.. buds and stems tearing.. still tastes like pure chlorophyll.. but since I've been kinda getting my dries dialed in, so I try to UNDER DRY to get buds to about 70% (that's in jars, not room). I really feel like this doesnt get explained enough in forums and online.. they tend to leave out some very important details.. like what to do when you overdry or underdry your flower.. if its too low, its trash. A 62% boveda and/or integra boost humidity packs can only do so much.. they have helped me, but only if the jars are still above 55% RH.. anything lower has completely removed terps within 2 weeks or so.. but yeah. In 4 years of trial and error (and yeah, forums and other grow diaires), I have found that it is better to UNDERDRY and either burp the jars MULTIPLE times a day (at least 4 - 5) or take them back out and let them dry for another 8 - 12.. maybe 16 or even 24 hours.. depending out how wet the flower still is and the drying area. Anyways.. im stoned and just finger fucking my keyboard here.. but this is very useful info that I have found works for me.. if people dont agree, hey thats cool too.. then these are just notes for myself later 😋 OK, I'm done now.. will keep updating as I go!
About 5 days into curing...
Got the jar down to 62% - 63% RH so I can stop burping so much.. maybe a short burp twice daily for a week then slow it down to once a day and eventually just stop burping. Been keeping my hand out of the cookie jar for the last... 2 maybe 3 days. I'm going to try and only test a nug once a week to get a feel for how quick its curing and how much better the taste is from the previous week. Did this last grow and each week was a huge difference.. even at week 6! But she was more than ready at week 4!.. not sure how some can cure in 2 weeks unless you get it really dry.. which makes me nervous cuz at 55% RH, I've had horrible results. Trashed the whole remaining harvest.. this is why I like to try and keep the RH a little on the higher side (68% or 65% or so and slowly bring it down to 62% or 63%.. also called the "pre-cure" phase) but I want this harvest to hover around 62% for as long as possible because 62% seems to be the magical sweet spot when you leave them there for the entire 4 weeks.. just my experiences.. Buds aren't very dense, but I'm pretty sure thats due to harvesting a week or 2 too early 😢.. and leaving her in te dark for another 5 days or so before harvesting.. oh the horror she endured toward the end of her life.. she was a fighter tho.. no mold.. in ANY of these super high RH weeks she went thru during the most vulnerable parts! Harvsting, drying and pre-curing.. but not 1 speck of mold 😁
About 10 days into curing..
Yeah I wish I could have let her go another week or 2.. yield was defintely hurt.. quality could be better.. but it will do for now.. live and learn.. I seem to say that every grow 🤣 but still a nice, decent stoney, still pretty decent tasting smoke.. going to just do some small, short burps for the next week or 2. Want the RH to still come down a little.. but if not, meh. The RH (outside and indoors) has been high again.. but luckily I was able to get the RH in the jar down to 62% - 63% RH.. i just burp the jar for a few seconds.. remove the hygrometers and flip the buds.. then put the hygrometers back in, clos up the jar and let it sit till the next day. RH is so high in the room that it raises the RH in the jar a little. But they always go back down to 62% - 63% RH.. good deal. Waiting for a dry day to burp outside for a few minutes. Need to invest in a powerful dehumidifer.. ugh..
Somewhere between 3 and 4 weeks of curing...
Yeah definately shows that I harvested early. Still an ok smoke. Could have been fatter.. could have been tastier.. definitely NOT Ethos fault. Kicking myself for not letting her go 1 - 2 more weeks. Wasnt by choice tho.. life happened and she had to be chopped. Just ready for a little warmth and I will begin the next run!!!

She was really in need of a nice lollipoping, because she is growing too bushy, she needs a good airflow. Maybe in 2 weeks I'll give her another one.
So far a great grow, she is smelling nice already with her topical wedding cake smell of vanilla, fruits and funk

Devil cream Auto is growing tall and Healthy, I'm excited to see the final height as it's already standing at 2ft5 before the big stretch, this round of grow has been the tallest I've had grow indoors. I would be tickled pink to have it turn out to be a 5 foot plant in my current space

End of Week 7
CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow.
The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even.
I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption)
In detail:
-Carefully removed trellis netting
-Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients
-Placed them back in the tent
-Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape
Pest Report:
Thrips VS Ladybugs...
I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests.
I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

😻Week 5 of veg and things are looking good! I didn't know how I wanted to train these so my husband's suggested we top 2 plants and low-stress the other 2.. I went a little too heavy with their last feeding, no burned tips yet but 2 of them are very dark, we'll be doing water only for these this week..there is some minor discoloration on a couple of the lower leaves nothing major but something we're watching..we'll update again midweek..thanks for all the love Growmies ❤️🌱

Things are good 😺👌..New growth seems to be coming in fast on the 2 plants we topped...much faster growth than we've seen up to this point..all plants seem happy and all have a great color (after working out my slight overfeeding )..we've been running the MarsHydro near the top of the tent the entire grow as a test and its still more than adequate. .we don't have a light meter but we do have some crazy tight node spacing to confirm lol...I still say these plants are a little on the small side but they seem to be growing faster now..I'm pretty sure leaving them rootbound in cups didn't help their development...I think they're finally becoming adjusted to their new homes and we'll see some explosive growth in the coming week 💡🌱... fingers crossed 😺🤞

This is longer video talking end up about the new nutrients than I'm using one for vegg. Is 855 and pkk values? And the one I'm using for Bloom is 347NPK values. II decided to decided to get something of nitrogen as well because I don't want to add a little bit of the veg for the stretch part of Bloom. I'd rather, the bloom component, have a nitrogen part. In theory, I expect to use the same amount of vege to bloom, and it seems to have worked

🌿 RS11 "C" - The Balcony Colossus Transitions! 🏙️
Welcome to Week 12! RS11 "C" continues her reign as the absolute titan of the balcony. She is towering over her space and is putting on a gorgeous display as she gears up for her next phase of life.
📈 The Details / Progress Report:
Towering Canopy: Taking a look at the full-plant shots her size next to that red railing is staggering! She has established an incredibly tall, sturdy main frame with strong lateral branches pushing their way up to compete for the sunlight. 🌳
The Transition Begins: If you zoom in on the apex and upper growth you can see the nodes tightening up and the earliest signs of pre-flower development. She is officially entering her flowering stretch and channeling all that vegetative energy into building bud sites! 🌸
Immaculate Health: The foliage close-ups show how a plant in peak condition look like ?. The fan leaves are massive, vibrant, and perfectly praying toward the sun. Thanks to your proactive biological pest control (the sachet is still visible doing its job!), she is completely free of outdoor pest damage. 🛡️🐞
💧 Next Steps:
As she pushes through this pre-flowering stretch, her water and nutrient demands are going to hit their peak. Keep her well-fed to support the incoming bud development. Because she is so tall and about to start packing on flower weight, the most critical step moving forward is ensuring her branches are supported against any heavy balcony winds.
She is an absolute outdoor beast! Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨

-----IMAGES & VIDEOS-----
I'm sorry for not having a tlapse video this week, i slaved the cam onto my 60x60 tent to record the first growing week of another plants, next week i will return with more tlapse videos.
-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
To have a visual size of the plants take into consideration that the SCROG net it's fixed 24 cm abobe the top part of the soil.
Remarking what i've told last week, i must say the SCROG is not a true SCROG, as some colas begin below others, and also colas are of different heights among all plants. Anyway i'm very happy on how everything is going. And insisting again, I have very very few experience growing cannabis, this is my 3rd grow, 2nd indoor, and first time with photo-period at indoors, and of course is the first time too i'm trying to apply growing technics on a serious way. I really don't know if i'm doing things right or wrong.
-----WATERING CALENDAR-----
13/04/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients -(Sensizym, bloom stimulator, bloom nutrition & amino complex) @ PH6.4 & 1.3 E.C.
17/04/19 - 1.250 ml with Silica Power, Pro Active, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition, Sensizym & 5 drops of Amino Complex @ PH6.5 & 1.3 E.C.
*****ESPAÑOL*****
-----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS-----
Siento no tener vídeos timelapse esta semana, he esclavizado la cámara en el armario de 60x60 para grabar la primera semana de crecimiento con otras plantas que tengo en el.
-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Para tener una idea más o menos certera del tamaño de las partes de las plantas, tened en cuenta que la red está fija a 24 cm de la parte superior de la tierra de los tiestos.
Remarcando lo que dije durante la última semana, he de decir que el SCROG no es un SCROG real, ya que las colas no empiezan desde la misma altura ni son de la misma altura, ni las plantas son de la misma altura. Pero yo estoy muy contento con como va la cosa, vuelvo a insistir que es mi primera vez con foto-dependientes indoor, mi segundo armario indoor y el tercer cultivo de mi vida, y por supuesto la primera vez que aplico o intento aplicar las técnicas de cultivo. Lo estoy intentando realizar bien y de manera eficaz, pero realmente no se si lo estoy haciendo bien o mal, yo simplemente me lio y veo como responden las plantas.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----
13/04/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Sensizym, bloom stimulator, bloom nutrition & amino complex) @ PH6.4 & 1.3 E.C.
17/04/19 - 1.250 ml con Silica Power, Pro Active, Bloom Stimulator, Bloom Nutrition, Sensizym & 5 gotas de Amino Complex @ PH6.5 & 1.3 E.C.

Turned today, got impatient to wait another 2 weeks 🤦🏻
Seen some discoloring heading to nutrient burn so ive corrected it all in this new top up (from today)
Didnt take too much notice of the room this week, have removed one foam base from the bottom although i maybe should have left them a little closer to the light.
Added CYCO Ryzofuel 0-0-0.2
Added Advanced Nute Rhinoskin 0-0-0.4
Does this literally have the same fuel?😂
Cyco runs for first 2 weeks of bloom
Rhinoskin runs for 6 weeks.
To add overdrive at 6 weeks to week 7 then flush week 8!
Im guessing the overall BigBud is 6 to 8 weeks. I will stretch her to 8 weeks.
Any tips from here onwards is appreciated 👌
Added a net but im hopeless and with big hands am prone at breaking main stems at this point once LST is applied so i might just leave it as it is until the knuckles form stronger and see how we go!

Finally in full flower mode. Ready to start putting on some serious size. I turned the lights up to 80% a couple days ago and they both are taking it well. No light burn yet that I notice.
I'm not sure if I should start bringing the lights closer at 80% or keep the distance but instead
Increase power to 90%. Going to feel it out as we go. Happy so far for sure.
Update: increased light to 100% . No lead burns or weird looking leaves yet.. Just bulking up and very thirsty!
Doing a nutrient/nutrient/water feeding schedule now.

Day 10 - 2 inches tall seedling. 3rd set of leaves. 4th set emerging from center. PPM 268 2 mL CalMag 4 mL Micro Grow Bloom B52 Voodoo Tarantula Piranha Rhino Skin Sensizym and Bud Candy.
Day 12 - Checked PPM 255. First visible roots sticking out from netpot. Plant is green and happy. Added 2 mL CalMag PPM 300.
Day 14 - Checked PPM 268. Raised bucket and plant. Light is 26 inches from top of plant. Adjusted light duration to 20 hours on and 4 hours off. Half a dozen roots sticking out from bottom of netpot. 3rd set of leaves have 5 fingers. I believe this means its no longer a seedling. Now entering VEG.

I'm quite impressed by this week's development. The girls are starting to show their fatness. I did a flush at the beginning of the week and it helped a lot. Now I'm starting to give them less and less nuts, as they show obvious tip burns.
What a big coincidence that they are both polyploids(gene mutation). I'm starting to question myself if the guys from RQS are making experiments with these types of mutations to increase yield and potency???
