Hi and bye

06/20/2018 Did some supercropping on #1, Fimmed #4 she showing pre-flowers. ( #1,#2,#3) Not showing pre-flowers. #4 Fimmed because she gets stretchy 2-3 times veg height in my own experience. 06/21/2018 Longest day of the year today,applied potash last week, topdressed with Espoma tomato Tone tomato 🍅 3-4-6 with biotone

Week two wrap-up Key Milestones for Week 2: · Day 8: Fan fell and broke a large branch off Plant 2. · Day 9: Bound the branches to the pot covers to spread the canopy. · Day 10: Severe pH crash (4.9/5.2) — corrected with pH Up. · Day 11: PPM spiked into the 700s — corrected with RO water dilution. · Day 12: Bud sites became visible. Internodal spacing is tight. · Day 13: Heavy nutrient consumption established. PPM stabilized between 570–612. · Day 14: Roots measured at 90 cm (P2) and 1.5 meters (P1). Hydroguard still in transit. --- Reflections from BAM (Bryan) Thoughts on the last 7 days: I've done this nine or ten times before, but never with this level of precision. This week was a trial by fire—broke a branch, fought a pH crash, and had to skim Big Bud off the top of the bubbler. And yet, I've never seen my roots look this good. I'm learning the hard way that shortcuts don't work, but the right way works every time. Quote from BAM: "Turns out, you can't cheat the chemistry. But when you get the mixing right, the plants don't just survive—they thrive. I'm seeing things I've never seen before." --- Apex's Take You didn't just survive Week 2. You learned how to bend when a branch broke, how to stabilize when pH crashed, and how to mix when the old ways failed you. The roots are longer, the buds are forming, and the data is cleaner than it's ever been. We are entering the bud swell phase with a stable foundation and a clear path forward. "You can't always prevent the fan from falling, but you can always control how you recover. Week 2 taught you resilience. Week 3 will show you the reward." — Apex

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and damn she’s getting some nice fat and tight buds. Not really y’all but she’s definitely going to be nice and dense. Will be giving her a feeding of nutes tomorrow. Day 51 - Looking good and fattening up nicely! Looking forward to this girl finishing but still a few weeks away. Gave her a full feeding of the foxfarm trio today. Day 52 - She’s fattening up nicely and think I should get a pretty decent yield out of her when she’s done. I wish my camera would show the colors like I can see in person but all kinds or oranges, yellows, greens in there. She’s a beautiful plant. Did a little leaf tucking and don’t really want to do any defoliation until I know she’s coming to an end. Day 53 - Looking nice and fat! Absolutely love what she looks like and how fat she’s getting. Only took her out to see if she needed some water, tuck a few leaves and to get some daily pics. Still a couple weeks left from what I can tell but looking forward to the harvest. Day 54 - Gave her some fresh pH’d water and cal-mag tonight, the pot felt like nothing but air. She’s really starting to drink heavily and is going through about 1/2-3/4’s a gallon of water every two days. She’s not really stretching but her buds are getting nice and plump. Will most likely give her a feeding of nutes on Saturday. Day 55 - No real updates today, she’s chugging along and really getting plump. I do see a little bit of foxtailing in my LSD-25 grow but nothing like that with this girl. Nice round, fat and starting to stretch a little bit buds. All in all this is gonna be a great grow and harvest. Day 56 - It’s the end of week 8 and this baby is looking great. Didn’t really do anything to her today but removed a couple of fan leaves in the middle that were in the way of the light. Will give her a feeding of nutes tomorrow.

Solo cup challenge continues to press along. Not much change, plants are in veg, growing and healthy. Still a few weeks before the flowers start so I hope to get a bit of size going before it does. Having fun and really like looking at the other entries in this contest. Check out WildeWeed, Butterstotch and BeanswithPork, silky, larimar, fireman

Ok, I'm back and the plants seem to be doing fine. Bit dry and maybe hungry at some points but overall just dandy. Gave them a good one two and removed any dead/dying leaves and fertilized them. This should be it till the end I think. All the herbs are dead as my buddy did not water them only the weed plants, but also forgot to water the smaller weed plants in the baby containers. Gave them about 1L after 5 days and 1.5L after another 5days. wanted it to be on the lower vs the over side of things. Will know more in the next Few days once they drink everything up. the CBD and CBG plants are looking strong. the THCv ones are looking toasted and done. curious if they will need to be harvested before the rest.

Let the pictures speak for it, just waiting for chop day.. --------------------- 👇 This week (Day 48 from 12/12) - Watering 1 to 1.5 liters per day. Following the plagron alga grow schedule (Stopped with sugar royal - too much N), along with compost tea weekly (Recipe Week 11). Calmag needed because my water its really soft. - PPFD at canopy height is approximately 800, with VPD around 1.3-1.5 - Leaf Temp ~3°C lower than room - Using 0.75 liters of compost tea per plant for superior bud flavor 👉 See recipe for week 11 👈 - Pulling some leafs here and there - Granndy Candy tolerates the light intensity somewhat better --------------------- Happy growing, and thank you for checking out my report! Your support means a lot to me! 🙏 --------------------- I appreciate every like and comment 👍👊😃

Day 30 Kush: + can't find any new hermaphrodite flowers + Continues to grow steadily Happiness: + Lovely sweet smell of candy + Beautiful flower structure +A sea of flowers - Shows lack of appearance in the form of yellow leaf spikes. But only a few leaves. Could also have been too much watering.

Geht langsam in Richtung Ernte, so 2 Wochen dann verpasse ich der Pflanze Flash Clean und Final Part von Terra Aquatica. Das ist dann auch nochmal 1 gute Woche. Die Trichome müssen für mich jetzt nicht Amber sein, bin mega ungeduldig.. Bin mal gespannt wieviel die Madame Orange Bud auf die Waage bringt.. Bye

Well the suns been out the last few days and the girls are loving it. I think I’ll start flush although it’s a little early for some others are ready. So a one or two week flush and then we are done. After that I’ll chop as each one is ready.

8/2 some parts of the plant look like they have enough pistils to consider her to be flowering 8/5 gave her some open sesame, since she's shooting out so many pistils 8/7 shes 66 inches and id say shes officially flowering

Some browning from start but cleared up in the next week

What an easy grow! Might just stick to the organics from now on. Grew with ease just needed better watering practices and would’ve been a perfect grow. First time trying the vcure and honestly not bad! A few tweaks and tricks I’ve learned and she’s bulletproof. Happy growing!

On 7th day of flowering we removed lower little branches and made some lollipopping on the plants. Also we made some defoliation on gelatos cause they were very bushy but almost removed only biggest fan leaf. As plants were bigger enough we started adding granural mineral NPK 12-18-23 1 g/L and CalMag Xtra by advanced nutrients 1mL/L to the solution.

Week 7 Flower-day 2 16/10/2025 Nutrient change Floramax veg 1: 1L Floramax flowering enhancer: 400ml Floramax organabud:400ml Floramax rezin: 100ml ( around 1/4 dose) Floramax cal mag: 100ml Gp3 pro cal: 100ml ( unfortunately ran out and won't have any until next week ) Gp3 massive bloom: 100ml Cyco platinum series silica: 200ml Sleeps with the fishez: 400ml ( half dose system shock testing to see of this minimises/prevents problems per nutrients change like i was having ) Ph 5.9-6 - EC 2.2-2.3 ( Floramax wants e.c of 2.4, so I'm doing .1-.2 under for now to see how she responds No lst changes or defoil today, just let her heal and recover. I thought I should add, with the way I lst, I like to get as much defoilation out the way before flipping to flower that way all she does in flower is just get fat and lovely. Seemed to work well coming from only doing Autoflowers so just using that knowledge and implementing to my photo grows and tweaking it

10/22 She grows! 😁 In the home stretch, just giving water when needed. Shes so photogenic! .

The plants are growing extremely fast and becoming increasingly resinous, with numerous buds visible. The leaves are a lush green color, with some plants displaying purple on the underside of the leaves. Flowering day: 35

So WHY is this auto taking so damn long to mature??? Is this normal? It's my first hydro grow, but my wife's soil grow started after mine (more than a week) + was grown in the exact same room .... but has been harvested over the past TWO weeks. Thoughts? Not much needed doing this week. Did a huge trim mid week that was posted to a mid week update in last week's diary entry. She didn't like it at first but then bounced back pretty well. I think I have a very slight touch of nutrient burn on some of the tips, but it could also be a touch dry as we're having a hard time keeping the room over 40% humidity as the outdoor temps here are stupid cold recently. Hoping to harvest in 2 weeks or so.. but could be longer. Urgh. She's a big, bountiful, heat-loving lady that's finally a under a bit of vegetative control... but apparently REALLY likes to take things slow.
