Day 100 - Harvest time! Will hang her completely upside down. RH=58% and 23ºC at almost midday. Hanging them in my bathroom Day 105 - Drying finished today! Was faster then i expected but im mid summer so its hard to maintain proper drying temperatures Im SUPER happy with this diary, @Fast_Buds and the Grow Diaries Team! This website has helped my improve my growing skills in a way i couldn´t imagine. Having a clear, imaged, reported diary where you write everything you do, really helps you understand your mistakes and see where you could have donw better comparing to how others did! Also another big thank you to the GD Team for having me tied 3rd at the FastBuds 2023 Outdoor Grow Contest and to the very kind @Fast_Buds Team 🙌 Keep on Growing!!

Lets go. This is my old stealth boomgrowbox. Led is 47w 3000k and cost 13€. Computer fan is sucking air trough carbonfilter. Filter is years old but still keep most of the smells. Inside dimensions are 36x40x120cm. I grow different strains with same setup every time so let see what strain takes victory in this battle. Plan is Seed to water for 24h and straight in to the middle of 6-7L sub-irrigation pot. I think this pot gives most equal watering for each fighter. Dome for until it breaks the surface. LST begin at day 15. No defoliation. First grow basicly set the rules. Let see how it goes when we get that far 🤣 Soil is from local shop. With mykorhiza. 80%soil 20%perlite. Clay pebbles over after dome moves away. As nutrients we have Terra aquatica drypart grow/bloom/late bloom. Be there on he squirrel. Ps. I am pretty sure going to kill couple Girls cause im so bad at growing in soil. Just let me know what im doing wrong. With High Hopes 🍀

I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

Week 3 Grow Diary Report: Days 15-21 As we progress into the third week each of our strains—Tropicana Cookies, Gorilla Zkittlez, and Apple Strudel—continues to showcase impressive growth and resilience. This week, particular attention was given to optimizing environmental conditions, including an increase in CO2 levels (Growbag), adjustments in lighting (PPFD increase) to support the vegetative growth phase and introducing some light LST. Tropicana Cookies: Significant growth was observed, with plant height increasing from 12.5 cm to 18.5 cm. This rapid growth spurt, referred to locally as "stretching," was noticeable mid-week. The plants have maintained their health with no major issues, responding well to environmental adjustments. Continued nutrient regimen with Alfa Boost. Since the soil is preamendet with nutrients, I just use PH-balanced water. Lighting intensity was increased progressively from 350 PPFD to 380 PPFD and then to 400 PPFD and CO2 supplementation was implemented to support enhanced photosynthesis. Environmental Conditions maintained stable with temperatures ranging from 27°C during the day to 21-25°C at night, with relative humidity around 64-68%. Gorilla Zkittlez: Growth was steady, increasing from 10.2 cm to 15 cm. The plant has responded well to environmental controls and nutrient supply. Gorilla Zkittlez remains in good health, with no signs of nutrient burn or deficiencies. Apple Strudel: This strain showed a healthy increase from 9.5 cm to 14 cm. Growth rates are slightly behind Tropicana Cookies but on par with expected metrics for the strain. She continues to exhibit good health, benefiting from the stable grow conditions and targeted nutrient applications. Week 3 has shown promising developments with all strains demonstrating robust growth and good health. The environmental adjustments, particularly the increased CO2 supplementation and lighting, appear to be positively impacting the plants' growth dynamics. As we move forward, it will be important to continue monitoring these conditions closely to ensure that they remain optimal for each stage of plant development. Cheers, D.

They seem to be doing well. Not really growing much but they are producing the start of flowers. One might be a male. Only lst was to provide more room. Just hoping for some growth in flower!

Die Woche 5 der Blüte ist rum. Die bisher wärmste Woche mit Tagestemperaturen zwischen 25-31°C und Nachttemaparaturen zwischen 15-21°C haben die Ladys gut überstanden. Ich hab hier und da ein paar zu große Blätter entfernt oder Blätter die Buds verdeckt haben. Ansonsten habe ich hier und da ein paar Blattläuse mit der Hand oder Pinzette abgesammelt. Die blattuntereiten wurden auch großzügig auf Blattläuse und Eier kontrolliert. Auch hier mussten ein paarmal der Hand zerdrückt werden, aber soweit hält es sich in Grenzen. Auch von Mehltau war nichts mehr zu sehen. Alle Ladys sind gut stabil und entwickeln wunderschöne buds💚 die GorillaZkittlez sieht schon ziemlich final aus. Ich denke das es maximal noch zwei Wochen braucht bis sie getrocknet werden kann. Sie hat richtig schöne harzige dichte buds die ich outdoor nicht erwartet hätte. Und sie verteilt auch den intensivsten Geruch 💚 der Geruch geht stark in Richtung Zitrus mit würzigen untertönen. Die StrawberryBanana denke ich wird 1-2 Wochen länger dauern als die GorillaZkittlez. Sie sieht aber auch schon ordentlich aus. Der heasbud wird ein ordentlich fettes Ding. Der Geruch ist unglaublich lecker aber noch nicht ganz definierbar, geht aber in die fruchtige Richtung. Die GorillaAuto hängt etwas hinterher, wird aber wahrscheinlich soviel abwerfen wie meine StrawberryBanana und GorillaZkittlez zusammen. Die GorillaAuto hat einen sehr intensiven Zitrus Geruch mit Pinie/Kiefer im Hintergrund. Bis jetzt mein Favorit der drei Ladys rein vom Geruch. ____________________________ Düngen/Gießen: Die Ladys wurden in dieser heißen Woche jeden Tag gegossen, an den zwei Tagen mit 30°C und kaum Wolken wurden die Ladys Morgens und Abends gegossen. Im Durchschnitt bekam jede Ladys pro gießen ca 700ml-1L. Der ph-Wert lag dabei zwischen 6.5 und 6.7. An Tag 51/30F gab es als Zusätze auf 5L Wasser: 6ml BioBloom von BioBizz als kleinen Blütebooster, auch 1.5ml GreenSensation. Davon nur recht wenig, weil der Hauptdünger GreenHouseFeeding ist und der nicht ganz mit dem GreenSensation zurecht kommt. Davon abgesehen brauchen Automatiks auch etwas weniger Nährstoffe. Auch gab es 5ml PowerBuds und 3ml PureZym auf die 5L. An Tag 52/31F gab es nur Wasser, dafür morgens und abends. An Tag 53/32F gab es auf 5L Wasser 10ml StickyFingers von XpertNutrients und am Abend wieder Wasser. An Tag 54/33F gab es wieder Wasser. An Tag 55/34F gab es nochmal Wasser. An Tag 56/35F gab es auf 5L Wasser 5g BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 6ml BioBloom von BioBizz, 1.5 ml GreenSensation, 5ml PowerBuds von Plagron. Am Abend gab es auch nochmal 300-500ml für jede Lady. Der ph-Wert lag dabei immer zwischen 6.5-6.7. Auf eine nächste Woche voller Freude und schönen Gerüchen💚

The bud's leaves are shedding, I am pulling many sugar leaves to keep for hash c. she has slowed down drinking alot to only 3L over night, this might be the last week Day 93 - trichomes are 90% white a. having hard time finding many clears or many ambers, she is in peak THC production at the moment b. wonderful production this plant has made! it is very heavy c. took her out of the tent for the first time, defoliated many old fan leaves d. buds are turning blue! the 5.5 PH flush water is working! Day 94 - looking great! a. the final white pistils are trurning brown, we will have no white pistils when I harvest this b. the resin production is still so high, the buds are just caked in milky white trichomes Day 95 - growing well, still drinking water a. just have a few more pistils that need to turn red/brown, a few whites Day 96 - maturing nicely a. going the distance, this plant will not stop creating resin! b. trichomes are mostly milky white Day 97 - buds are looking really frosty! a. tomorrow will be last day of flush, day 99-101 will be lights off without any water in the tank, will stress her hard Day 98 - last feeding/flushing day and last light day a. will not add any more water to the DWC, will pump out what is in there b. she will get one more day of light, tomorrow starts the 3 days of darkness!

[ Introduction ] Welcome to my first ever grow journal! I have been growing medically for the past couple years, documenting some of my grows on my Facebook and Instagram (@OnlyTomatoes) pages, as well as several cannabis cultivation subreddits. I've found that I do a lot of things differently than other growers, so I'd like to share a full cycle publicly in case I have the answers to somebody's questions. [ Updates ] Day 4 - Lights have been lowered to 18 inches off canopy, dimmed to 25%. They've recovered from both their transplant and their topping, new growth looks almost perfect. I'm going to keep the accidental sunflowers for a few more days and see if there's any significant difference between plants. They all received a foliar spray of neem, kelp, and a bit of calmag before lights off yesterday. I expect to be able to remove the remaining damaged leaves by the end of this week. Day 7 - Lights increased to 30%, C02 increased to 800ppm, getting ready for week 2 of veg. Fed today, fairly low EC (<1.5) blend of Silica, Calcium, Kelp, Molasses, and Tribus Grow in a mixture of R/O and tap water. Very little runoff at 1gal per pot. Will most likely foliar again before lights off with a light fish hydrolysate mixture to help with any nitrogen issues. Any dead or dying leaves you see are from pre-transplant, I'm just waiting a few days longer for the existing rootballs' ph levels to swing back to a healthy range before removing all that unsightly growth. I'm really not sure when I'm going to remove the sunflowers growing in some of the pots, I've seen no negative effects yet. I could flip group 1 into flower if I wanted, the canopy is level and beautiful, however group 2 will take a while longer to fill a canopy. [ Grow Details ] Plant Count: 64 (Clones) Mother Age: 17 Months Strain: Gelat.OG (Phenotype 5) Breeder: Seedsman Hunter: OnlyTomatoes Veg Time: 3-5 Weeks Flower Time: 65 Days Training: Multiple Toppings Final Pot Size: 5 gal (Fabric) [ Room Details ] Room Size: 21'x9'x11' (190sqft, 2100cuft) Canopy Size: 10'x9' and 5'x9' (135sqft) Lighting: Grower's Choice ROI-E720 x6 (dimmed to 25% power during veg) Cooling: Cooper&Hunter 36k BTU Minisplit Dehumidification: Quest 225 Equipment Controllers: TrolMaster (Lighting, Cooling, and Dehumidification controls), AutoPilot (C02 Controls) Watering System: Manually controlled drip irrigation, x2 1gph drip emitters per pot [ Pre-Veg ] These poor clones have lived an abused life during 2021, sitting around in solo cups for over 2 months waiting for a new home. Normally I would never allow pre-veg plants to have such obvious deficiencies, but constant hand watering led to some poor nutrient decisions on my part. They've been in their final pots for a few days now and were topped on day 0 of veg. I plan on lowering the lights to 18"-24" within canopy around day 3, I'm just allowing some extra time for the roots to really dig in. I've found that a batch of dirt that was used had sunflower seeds in it, possibly winter food storage from an outside rodent, so I'm debating how long I will let these sunflower seedlings grow alongside my plants. They do make a good cover crop with amazing root systems, I just don't think that really applies in pots of this size where plants can choke each other out.

1st week generative phase: Pre-flowering and the next problem with the two topped specimens: Yellow leaf tips - too much nitrogen. I just thought: Close your eyes and go for it.... Organic cultivation regulates itself - well, at least in theory.... 🤣 Cannazym works wonders! I love to highly recommend. I work with it from pre-flowering to harvest and gently increase the dose. A word about water quality... 💦 I now use oxygen-enriched reverse osmosis. Since here in Berlin the pH value is basically very hard (very calcareous water) and not all plants can cope with it, I decided to invest there. Not cheap, but incredibly effective.
