The plants colors looked great and the trenchomes were at about 20-30% amber and the 70-80% milky. The smell is amazing and I can not wait to see how the end product ends up.

Beginning of week... She is doing her thing.. Slowly but surely lol.. Healthy as far as I can tell.. Maybe the reused coco is too reused? Idk. There is a bit of coco/perlite from my first grow in there lol.. Some others too.. But she is still truckin along.. Went up on the Armor Si (Silica) and a little on the FloraGro.. She does look like she is gonna beginning flowering very soon tho.. Pistils are forming slowly.. Much like the rest of this grow.. But she is starting.. I'm not going to start counting flower till I actually see that she is flowering.. Stretching and all.. That's how I like to count flower.. Always seems to line up perfectly when you count flower that way.. Even with photoperiods.. Not from the 12/12 flip because there is still 2 weeks of transition. Anyways.. Another week in the making... Next day... So my Mars Hydro is crapping out. I have to drop it down to 20 inches from the canopy and run it at 75%.. So pissed.. It glows when it is powered off and still plugged in.. And if I turn it on while the power is set to 100%.. It just blinks until I turn it down to 75%.. I can have it set to 75% and it will turn on like normal.. But I need to use 100% power.. And Mars Hydro sucks with responding to emails apparently.. I'm gonna have to buy a new one and return this POS.. Then hopefully buy a new stronger light for my 2x2.. I am so pissed.. Mars Hydro sucks.. The build is amazing.. The components are awesome when they are not flawed.. But damn this is the 3rd light to crap out on me in 2 years.. I do nothing but run them 18/6 or 12/12.. Run 1 fan on top at the driver and heatsink and 1 under toward the diodes.. Nothing different.. I think I'm gonna buy the Wakyme J-2000.. It comes with 2 fans blowing on the heatsink.. Honestly, noise is not an issue to me.. Heat is.. I sleep with all my fans running already lol.. Its actually hard to sleep without them now hahah.. But yeah. It has a Meanwell driver.. Samsung diodes.. Dimmer.. And the fans.. I think it's my best bet at this point.. Fuck Mars Hydro.. They had 3 chances with me.. My Sunraise 1000 (blurple) is like 4 years old and still running strong.. Smh.. Mars Hydro is crap. How did they even get so popular??? I'm sure more people will realize how crappy they really are.. No name brand everything.. Runs hot as ass.. Craps out after 3 - 4 months.. So so pissed... Almost mid week.. I went ahead and pulled a couple branches down a bit.. The canopy is perfectly even.. It looks AwEsOmE! Lol Mid week.. Well, she seems to be doing a bit better than before, I'd say. Normally, my previous autos would be flowering and probably almost finished stretching by now.. Live and learn.. I hope all the Zkittlez Autoflower seeds aren't like this.. And hopefully this strain turns out pretty dank to be wasting a few extra weeks on growth but not getting much growth at the same time.. And I hope harvest doesn't come quicker than the swelling of the calyxes.. But shit happens.. I have Mars Hydro sending me a new driver/dimmer. I sure hope it's just "plug-in" because if I'm going to take this light apart, I'm just going to go with the Meanwell HLG-240H-54B.. From what I was told from LEDSupplier dot com.. The 240W would be better due to the different current. We are still trying to figure out if the dimmer is 0-10V to see if I can just keep using the Mars Hydro dimmer along with the MeanWell HLG-240H-54B.. That would be cool.. Sorry but Mars Hydro sucks.. I bet running a different driver would help alot of issues.. Maybe even run cooler. Anyways.. About the plant lol.. She is doing great.. The stiples are still showing some weird colors on the tips.. Doesn't seem like an issue.. Some plants have the stems change colors.. Some have pistils change colors.. Some have leaves change colors.. Maybe that is just in her genetics.. The pics that ILGM shows, it should be a pretty colorful strain.. Guess we shall see! But she is happy and healthy.. I think I'm going to stop using Hydroguard next week.. Just doesn't seem like it's doing much of anything.. I really only bought it to fight root rot when I attempt DWC which I am going to attempt again very soon.. Maybe after this grow... We shall see... Almost end of week.. Went ahead and defoliated/lollipopped a bit. She was getting too bunched together.. She is nice and opened up now.. 2 side branches stayed pretty short.. Not sure what that is all about.. Flowers are slowly forming at this point. Next week will be week 1 of flower and stretching should begin! She is still getting good light even with the power only being at 75%.. Just have it down lower.. Which I could get away with till harvest.. But fuck that. I ordered a new Mars Hydro TS 1000.. And Mars Hydro is also sending me a new driver/dimmer box to replace the old one.. Going to return the light and I still want to replace the stock driver with the MeanWell.. Trying to get more professional opinions before I attempt that tho.. So far, I am hearing to get the HLG-240H-54B.. The 150H (150W) doesnt have the correct current so I'd have to go with the 240H (240W) due to the output current and voltage to match correctly. Can't wait to try it out! End of week.. So I got a new Mars Hydro TS 1000 in.. It comes with a Moso driver instead of the old Juson driver.. Hmm.. Ok.. Seems to not heat up as much.. The diodes still get hot, but the lack of the driver heat should help keep things cool.. Nice... I am able to raise the light back up and run her at 100% power.. I went ahead and tied the branches down a little more.. There are 2 that are still staying a little short.. But I think it's the way I started the whole LST process.. I should have tied down a different 90° angle instead of the angle I used.. But live and learn.. Wont use that way again lol.. Other than that, the flowers are forming nicely.. Happy happy happy.. Next week will begin flower! Niceeee.. On to the next!!!...

The plants got a big defoliation of a lot of the lower growth in lolipop style fashion, either flipping to flower next week or waiting two weeks. I’ve had to start using neem oil because it seems some little critters are eating my plant leaves. It’s very minimal and small just better to be safe than sorry, currently at day 40 of the Grow. Just moved the light up a few more inches compared to the plants canopy. Seems as if they’re getting a little light stress since I turned the light all the way up to the full 1,000 blast. Same feeding schedule. Let me know if y’all have any tips! Always appreciated

Week 2 Grow Diary Update Man…now we’re actually growing plants. We officially crossed over from “staring at dirt and anxiety” into “oh shit, they changing every morning.” This week taught me a LOT about phenotypes and personalities. Same tent. Same soil. Same light. Same environment. Four completely different attitudes already. 🌱 Couch Slumper #1: Quiet assassin energy. Clean structure. Sharp serrations. Tight node spacing. Looking like the kid in class that doesn’t say much but casually gets a 98 on every test. 🌱 Gassy Eddy #1: Balanced. Chill. Reliable. Gives me “solid starter on a playoff team” vibes. Not flashy, but healthy and stable. 🌱 Gassy Eddy #2 aka Wemby: This fool built like Victor Wembanyama already. Stretchy ass stem. Had to add more soil around him because bro was growing like a newborn giraffe. But the vigor is CRAZY. 🌱 Couch Slumper #2 aka E. Honda: Started off fighting for his life with the membrane and shell situation. Thought he might be cooked. Nope. Little dude came back compact, thick, squat, and built like he’s ready to slap somebody 100 times in Street Fighter. Definitely the most unique pheno so far.

9/20 Adjusted lights to 40% at 24 inches. It looks like I have a whorled phyllotaxy with the Sticky Mango. 3 branches per node. Should be cool to see how she develops. 9/22 Watered at 900 mS/cm 9/23 Dropped ir light on plants. Broke a fan leaf off the Moonberry Pie Auto. Removed other leaf to maintain light distribution and symmetry. Otherwise plants look great. 9/24 Added IR lighting. 10 before and after lights on and off. Hung at about 48 inches. 9/25 Topped Pink Apple Soda and Yuzu Sour above 4th node. Watered at 1.080 mS/cm pH 6.1. Watered to minimal runoff. Reduced RH to 62% 9/28 Increased lighting to 50%. Topped the Sticky Mango Auto. Was going to get to tall. The whorled phyllotaxy aspect of the plant is interesting. It is definitely growing faster than the others . It even has pistils already and a VERY dominant side branch. The plant I dropped the IR light on (Moonberry Pie Auto) definitely got stunted even though only 2 fan leaves had to be removed. The other topped plants (Yuzu Sour Auto and Pink Apple Soda Auto) look great. Starting to get bushy. Tucked the large fan leaves. Turtle Taffy Auto has been rather disappointing. If it doesn't show me something soon I may not waist the nutrients and get another Tastebudz Genetics seed going. PLANT HEIGHTS : Sticky Mango Auto 12" Turtle Taffy Auto 8.5" Moonberry Pie Auto 5" Pink Apple Soda Auto 7.5" Yuzu Sour 6.5"

Most of the week was spent setting up the hydro grow. Needed to build a DIY chiller since air temp in our grow room is hot, and water needs to be a good deal colder. Fridge from kijiji, garden hose, fittings, and submersible pump all in were under $100 but knowing what I know now I'd likely go with a thermoelectric chiller (DIY, with power supply and temp controller) next time around. Looking forward to tracking metrics and seeing how it goes :). Seems there's a lot of contradiction in terms of level of nutrients recommended, max water temperature, using H2O2 to boost water temp that can keep algae and rot at bay, etc. Got my hands on some Hydroguard via Amazon... despite local shops saying you can't get it in Canada... so I'm going to go with that instead of H2O2 to start, despite water temp getting up above 21 C (70 f) during the day. Fingers crossed. Update - keeping water reservoir tank under 20 C now by using reflective bubble wrap insulation on the reservoir itself and pipe insulation as well. It's a 10 C difference from the room temp, so I'm SUPER pleased with that.

I did this beautiful girl a strong defoliation and let's see together what kind of girl she will be in the end, in 10 days I completely filled the 120/120 tent with the plant and then I will switch the light cycle to 12/12 🌞🌋💚

What’s going on lady’s an gentleman. we got the Moab strains going on W/1 in living soil. They where planted into the root riot cube an treated with neem oil to kill off the fungus gnats, they are thriving now. An getting bigger as the day goes. They will be trans planted into the auto pot system at end of this week. Into the 2x4. Under the double UFL3000 mounted on custom frame. Pumping 402w from the wall. Currently both the girls are in the veg/solo cup cabinet under the UF2000 100w light. Currently 60% rh and temps running 79 lights on. Thanks for viewing an happy growing!

The first plant I harvested on 23/09/22 day 72, she faded out in lovely reds, purples and almost black fan leaves. She was coated in glistening frost all over and smelt like petrol/fuel with a subtle grapey fruit after twang. I dried her at 60%RH - 18*c for around 9/10 days before putting into a jar. I’ve been burping her for a week now and she smells fantastic. I’ll post some bud pics when both plants are dry. Plant two I harvested on 09/10/22, she was 88 days old and her buds were firm, but not solid. Forgot to take some pre harvest photos so instead I took a quick video of the main cola. Her buds leave a layer of sticky grease all over your fingers, and the smell is to die for. She’s currently drying in the same conditions as the previous plant. Both plants were grown in less than adequate pots as testers, but grew easily and appeared to thrive throughout. Neither got any sort of training as I wanted to see what kind of natural structure would occur. Il do an update with pictures of both plants once they are cured. I highly recommend giving these seeds a go if you’ve got the space! If you haven’t tried Mephisto Genetics yet I recommend you give them a go, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. 🌱💚

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Although the seed description said 10 to 11 weeks, I going to cut these girls down at 10 weeks. I need the room to grow and flower some Mac and Crack that's already growing.. Getting close to harvest I'll start flushing, But I'll give them 1 more feeding and then nothing but water till the end. I get much better taste and the buds smoke better if I flush and get the chemicals out of the soil before harvest. Well, that's the end of the Freak Bros. book # 10... I think there are 3 or 4 more books left in that series. I'll show them in future diaries. My other diaries have the old underground comic book, Weirdo by Robert Crumb if you want to check them out to see. The buds are really getting solid now and some are getting heavy and heading for the floor. Good times... Getting some great smells now. Musk is the most common. But some, smell of Citrus with Musk under tones. The smell is overpowering my carbon filter. I can smell these plants out by the street if the wind is blowing that way. Pure Lemon Skunk smell by the street. Nice. Getting near the end of their lives now and there are more yellow leaves as the plants pull what they need from the big fan leaves before turning the leaves brown. Some plants have sticky resin and some have slippery resin. OK. Have Fun. Chuck.

Lots of issues at the moment, issues with not knowing if I have a deficiency or if the plant is progressing along. Yellowing leaves - should I let them falls off? should i remove them to prevent their getting infected and infecting others?. Outside temp is around 30-32 degrees making my ice pack on the pot side solution insufficient to keeping the temperature stable. Lots of tucking and the canopy is reaching 1m2 and the roots are so massive they fill the bucket completely (15L). They smell fresh and It feels alive, the smell the energy coming off the microbes, beneficial bacteria and mycorrhizza, like smelling a flowing river teeming with life. I didnt train the stems properly (i wanted more horizontality).. Which is causing the issues I have now. But in the old tent (which was 2x2 feet 60cmx60cm) they would touched the wall and created other issues, I hadnt decided yet where i wanted to put it next (120x240cm or 60x120cm). Im learning alot about electrical conductivity (ec) and also about how my plant responds to concentration of fertilizers and helpers as suggested by the manufacturers recipe. I have branches in the front that are not growing to the ideal height, im just tucking and tucking the others hoping they catch up. also the light ppfd is up to 1000. and the distance is about 250cm. Im hoping to get at least 350grams of dry bud, and if im lucky maybe even 500!. I plan to do the same exact grow again, with the same breed (not a clone unfortunately). Hopefully I can increase the yield as well as any factors i deem needing improvement (less electricity, optimal percentage of fertilizer, less fluctuation in vpd). in short: lots to learn! but not enough buffer!

DÍA 1 - CUARTA SEMANA DE VEGETA (26-05-2022) *Se sigue con el LST (28-05-2022) * Se le aplica una poda selectiva a todas * Tuve un problema de riego con varias * En su día 31 desde q salió del sustrato, de las 6, hay 3 ya que van bien y han sufrido soportaron mejor el estrés, de las otras 3; hay una Banana y una AK que vienen más bajas que todas, de ramas más cortas y distancia internodal corta a comparación de las otras. Después esta la lemon que se viene recuperando muy bien de estrés y fue la que siempre vino más grande y ramificada :) DÍA 7 ÚLTIMA SEMANA VEGETA (01-06-2022) * Último día de la semana de vegetación, ya mañana es su día 1 de flora. * El día de ayer se le regó lo último con Vegalquimia, y se le añadió 1ml de Alquisweet de LAAOS. * Estos últimos 2 días he tenido problema de temperaturas muuuy bajas donde vivo, con luz encendida llegan 20 grados con suerte y luz apagada a 12-13 grados. Estoy tratando de jugar con bajar la humedad pero no la puedo bajar a menos de 55% aprox. Espero ya mañana arreglar ese problema de bajas temperaturas. * Lo que es el cultivo se ve bien dentro de todo. Hay dos enanas que se estresaron en la semana 2 y quedaron pequeñas. A todas se le aplicaron LST, unas resistieron mejor los distintos estrés ya mencionados en semanas anteriores. Pero va bien. * Hay 3 en pre flora, una de ellas en pre flora avanzada y es una de las más enanas.

Plants named (starting from front) Trump, creepy uncle Joe and Hillary we'll see how each ones does. Figured Joe wants to be in the middle. Trump: Explosive growth and hitting limits of tent space, root zone is stuffed full of fuzzy roots. Buds keep smashing into LED, daily checks needed. No mango hairs yet on bud; maybe next week. Clones pulled right before flowering cycle switch. tldr: Stop growing damn-it! Creepy joe: Squished in the middle and not doing great, but overall joe is still a happy plant, just seems somewhat lost at times. Not alot of stretching on switch. Hillary: Moderate growth overall doing well on the edge; medium performer and should have decent results. She wanted her own lime light; so brought back in the Chinese (branded LED) to shine a bit more brightness to her area. ########Update 7/10 ###################################################################### PH 5.9 Humidity: 79% PPM 1100 CO2 400 Temp 72F cycle time 2mins-off/5seconds-on side notes; need more CO2

So this didn't quite line up with the description from the supplier, but having different phenos is pretty common with multiple hybridization. I wish I had topped or lst'd this plant before it got to tall. Max height from the supplier said 31", but ended up 46".It just seemed to never stop growing. Easily growing two plus inches every day for a few weeks there. The clover ground cover was great up to the point I needed to top dress, at which point I just pulled most of them out. I'm happy with the overall health of the plant considering I was just using organic inputs. Something else to keep in mind is that this plant has only been getting 12 hours of light to work with because of the photoperiod in the tent. I decided to harvest when half the trichomes became opaque instead of waiting for Amber's. Besides the foxtails just keep getting longer by the day. Almost bordering on dr. Grinspoon type of foxtailing. I really want an active flying high out of this plant. The yield wasn't completely terrible, 39.5 grams, half of which will probably be used for oil of bubble hash. The estimated thc from the supplier was listed at 6-14% but there maximum height was also off by a foot so we'll just have to smoke it and see. Of course smoke report and all that will follow but will probably be at least 3 weeks. Thanks for checking this grow out. 04/20: well, I decided to try this one out even if it hasn't hit the 2 week cure mark. It's been curing 12 days now after a 7 day dry time. I put a bit in a bowl and I was surprised how smooth this was already. Decent flavor and the smell is now more citrus. Very deep sweet and sour smell. I could see how some might think it has that sort of pineapple smell but to me it leans more towards a grapefruit kind of smell. The high is nice, comfortable and clear headed, just a nice gentle euphoria. I didn't smoke a lot as I'm not a heavyweight smoker, and another time I will provide a report of how it is to have a larger dose of this stuff. P.s. sorry about all the ugly hps pics. It got to a point where it was just to much trouble with all my other plants to mess with the lights.
