I guess due to the colder weather, she really starts to express her color and it's so amazing! I can't believe how beautiful this outdoor automatic is and how fast the colors are changing. As you can see from the photo, the buds are getting a bit heavy, so I tied them back in place. You might also see that one of the side branches, which broke during the storm, starts to let their leaves hanging. I moistened the point where the stem broke and see how she will do tomorrow. If it get's more dry, than I'm hanging it in the bathroom (which doesn't get used atm if you're wondering) Anyways I'll trim off the leaves with no trichomes on it and give her the very last week before harvesting on Monday.

There's a slight smell of a cheese bud. Only got about 0.6 ounce bud can improve on that with better LST. I have a lack of pictures because it has been smoked. 😃

Start of week 3 and all plants doubled in size all plants are healthy, been defoliating every couple of days most of the leaf removed are the ones that overlap each other,or blocking bud sites. This week they will go under new gavita 1700e led lights. Should be interesting to see how they grow,and see what all the hype is with led tech.

This week I added a new controller to handle up to 8 functions. I installed a new heater, my old humidifier and some LED strips to the controller. Targeting a VPD at 1.0 day and night. Trying to keep the nutrient ppm under 900 and ph at 6.0 in the reservoirs. Ordered a second ph pen because I don’t trust my readings. Will be here by Thursday. Friday: Checked the ppm in the reservoirs and it’s at 1,000. Added more RO water with extra nitrogen to bring the ppm level down to 925. Saturday: I installed an updated AC Infinity controller 69 Pro Plus (controls 8 pieces of equipment) which allowed me to add a humidifier, corner LEDs and a heater to the controller. Overall I’m extremely impressed with this AC Infinity equipment. My VPD is within the range I want to achieve (.8-1.1). I programmed it to maintain 78 degrees and 67% humidity during the day, 73 degrees and 63% humidity at night. Charts posted also show the impact of an open tent compared to the closed environment. The heater is constantly pushing fresh air into the tent, so I don’t need to cycle the exhaust fan often. Rewired the tent again and moved the controller later that night. I mounted the controller on the wall. Added Mars Hydro UV/IR lighting to fill out all 8 slots on the controller. Sunday: I checked the ph in the reservoirs (6.8….i had filled it with 6.0 ph) and the ppm (1200 ppm…I had filled it with 900). So evaporation and possibly a mismeasurement of ph. I topped ff reservoirs with slightly stronger nutes and adjusted ph to 5.8 in the reservoirs. Poor magnesium absorption could be driving some leaf yellowing. Effective tomorrow, I’m switching over to Heads Formula which consistently feeds GH Flora series nutes at Micro (6ml/g), Bloom (9ml/g) and cal mag (3ml/g). Turned on the UV/IR lights for 3 minutes every 8 hours. I’m easing the plants up to 5 minutes every 6 hours which will provide the recommended 20 minutes of IR per day. This will help the plants stretch a little more. Monday: checked ph and ppm in reservoirs. 6.1ph and 880ppm. VPD remains stable except when I open the tent. Tuesday: checked ph (6.4) and ppm (880) in reservoirs. Added .5ml of ph down to two reservoirs. Still see slight yellowing between the veins but it’s not getting worse (might be improving). Adjusting ph down to 6.0 target might have solved this. The plants grew by 1-2” last night…..is the infrared light working already? Decided to mix up fresh nutes for the reservoirs following Heads formula. 6ml Micro and 9ml Bloom per gallon of RO water. Added 5 ml of CalMag too. Ending ppm was 1080 which is too high, so I diluted down to 880 with RO water. 6.0 ph. Wednesday: plants grew another .75 inches last night. I topped above the 5th node. Thursday: added RO water with heavy cal mag to reservoirs to increase amount of CalMag available.

I upped the muted a bit. Defoilated twice bc the first time I was a bit timid. Second time I prob could of went harder but I don’t want to set them back a week. We are on a schedule. They seem to be self sufficient. My tent is humid and sweats bc I don’t have my in-line in. But since it’s still rather chilly out it doesn’t really get hot just humid. They love it. Definitely more stretch this week. I probably could of begged one more week but lesson learned and my schedule will be made.

After a 6-week cure, it smells really spicy with creamy undertones. The buds are extremely dense and sticky. When vaped, the smoke is smooth but doesn’t have much flavor. It’s an energetic high — not the optimal strain for an insomniac like me who likes to smoke before bed, but I already knew that. Overall, if you enjoy sharp, spicy, and slightly gassy terps, I’d highly recommend this strain. My DIY lamp has 6-watt UVA leds. Maybe if I hadn’t run it at full blast the whole time, the aroma would’ve leaned more toward sweet and less toward spicy/caryophyllene-heavy. 84gramms dry for 86watt! pretty happy with that.

Moin, Mir wurde von dieser Sorte wirklich nicht zu viel versprochen! Der Grow verlief sehr entspannt ab, der Calciummangel geht definitiv auf meine Kappe. Bis zur Ernte war es ein Traum, auch wenn ich nicht ganz so faul hätte sein können, ein bisschen mehr Training und vorallem Entlauben hätte sich auch noch positiv auswirken können. Einzig eine kleine negative Sachen gab es schon beim linken Pheno hatte ich kurz vor der Ernte circa 4-5 männliche Blüten gefunden, Samen oder Microseeds konnte ich allerdings nicht feststellen, kann auch gut sein das das auf meine Kappe geht und ich am Ende dann doch etwas viel Stress durch den Calciummangel und späten Entlauben hatte. Getrocknet wurden beide Pflanzen für 9 Tage und anschließend zum curen in die Gläser. Schon vom ersten Tag an zeigte sich ein wirklich angenehmer Geruch der jeden Tag süßer und süßer wird. Die 2 Phenos zeigten zwar grundsätzlich 2 verschiedene Wachstumsmuster, wobei mir vom Wuchs der linke größere Pheno deutlich besser gefallen hat als die kleine rechte Pflanze. Auch bei der Budstruktur waren beide komplett verschieden. Der linke Pheno bildete zwar größere Blüten, diese blieben aber etwas luftigere. Der rechte Pheno hingegen bildete kleine Steine aus. Wo sich beide Phenos aber einig sind ist bei den purple Tönen in der Blüte und dem Terpenprofil. Beide sind straight fruchtiges Gelato und das wirklich nicht zu wenig. 🤤 Der rechte Pheno würde ich als fruchtiges Gelato/Candy beschreiben. Der linke Pheno hat eine angenehme Frische die ich nicht ganz einem Geschmack zuordnen kann am ehesten einem Gelato mit Eukalyptusbadezusatz. 😅 Vom Effekt sind beide für mich persönlich eher etwas um abends einfach zu entspannen und als Hilfe zum einschlafen perfekt.

Well it was another awesome week for the Kush Fromage!👍Day 49 of Flower and she is putting on some weight. The branches are starting so sag down a little bit😊. Her trichomes are starting to ripen up quite a bit and are about 60-65% cloudy. Looks like she will be done right around the breeders estimated time of ~63 days of Flower and could be harvested a tad bit earlier if wanted, but I am in no rush. I am feeding her the same nutes as last week with the exception of the addition of some unsulphured blackstrap molasses. The smell is starting to change a little bit with a pungent cheese like smell starting to come out Overall just one wicked plant😵 it has it all smell look and serious resin production!! I really can't wait to try the smoke! Thanks for checking out the diary Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests Everyone🙏

Did I mention I have total ham-fists? LST gives me the worst anxiety-snapped a branch once and it was a total goner, so I’m always paranoid now. Didn't want to push her too hard with the weekly topping, so I kept the nutes locked at N110. By the end of the week, she was definitely showing a deficiency - growth slowed down and the leaves started looking pale. Finally swapped the res to N120 on the last day. Planning to top off with N130 and play it by ear. Next round of topping is happening in a day or two. Still not running the exhaust 24/7 to keep the heat in since it’s been chilly, but no red flags so far.

As the plants are ripening and getting closer to harvest, I'm continuing to lower ppm levels while managing bucket water levels and ph. We're exactly at day 56 of flower (5/5/23) on Cinco de Mayo. The PBCRbx reflects a flowering time of 60-63 days, so no more nutrients at this point. I'll continue to monitor Trichomes through next week (i.e., week 9 of flower). Once I see more amber (approximately 20-25%), I will begin a 2-3 day flush with straight RO water. At that point, she is ready to come down. The last bucket change between week 7 and week 8 strictly followed GH's recommended dosage. That bucket change out brought an end to the ph swings she was beginning to experience. After the change out, the balance between water consumption, nutrient uptake, and ph is spot on. Specifically, while plant is up taking water, ph and ppm have maintained stability. She's looking and smelling incredible. Man those ETHOS beans are the bomb. There is a learning curve with DWC - no lie - but I've enjoyed the experience. That said, and if I had dialed her in from the start, she would have produced even better. Gratitude and thanks to ETHOS!
