So whats new?, well recently, as of 08/23/23 got my water chiller, which is A BLESSING, honestly the constant bottle changing was driving me NUTS, not only that, i had to use my roomates fridge (in secret) and mine to keep enough water bottles to last for a day, and most of the time it was just not enough so water temps were gettin all the way up to 90, a pain in my assholes that seems to be over. great success. have seen some strange thigns going on with the water, such as EC level that keeps going up, which i think it was realetd to the plants drinking more water than nutrients and don't know if it was becasue of the temps as I'm very new to the hydro space, but will soon be paying 12 buckaroos to the youtuber that got me started in hydro, shotout to "How Weed Grow at Home - Indoor Cannabis Tutorials", So far i've been folowing his Hydro guide to the theet, so thats why I'll be subbing to his personalized patreon. Here's a small log of how water's been in the last 6 days. 17-08-23 - Ph, 5.85 - 29.2 C - 49ppm (new water, i used purified) 18-08-23 - Ph 7.10 - 30.01 C - 70 PPM (water bottles in place) 19-08-23 - Ph 6.69 - 26.9 C - 96 PPM (14 hrs after first feed) 20-08-23 - Ph 5.89(been lowering it) - 25.8 C - 125 PPM 21-08-23 - Ph 6.31 - 28 C - 127 PPM (here i noticed EC going up so started taking notes) 22-08-23 - Ph 6.36 - 28.3 C - 137 PPM - EC 274 (added more water to the reservoir) -Ph 5.9 (ph down 1 ml) - 141 PPM - 28.3 C - EC 282 AnnnnnnnnnNDDDD today is the 23 of august and levels after chiller are as follows: - Ph 6.31 - 145 PPM - 23.2 C - EC 290 + So some things that will come, the viparspectra lights and will soon lst them, also i might change the reservoir as EC seems to keep rising.

Just finished week 3 and everything looks amazing. Been fighting a gnat infestation. Been running some Mosquito dunks. This week I'll run a H2o2 in the res. Hopefully this will take care of them. Also placing yellow sticky traps in every bucket to catch stragglers.

Week 9 Day 57 (9/11) Things are going well, or so it seems. She looks like she is starting to bulk up at her bud sites. Her pistils are everywhere and I'm hoping to see the buds forming soon. Being a first timer, I have no idea what I'm looking for, but it's still exciting! Temps and humidity have been holding fairly steady. I think I'm to to point of bumping the humidity back some, keeping it below the 60% range. I have a couple VPD charts I'm trying to go by and they give me a range I am trying to keep the temp/humidity in. I fed her last night and she seems happy. Haven't noticed any of the discoloring or anything continuing, so that's good. I added some Alaska Fish Fertilizer to the mix just because I got it for free and wanted to give her a little nitrogen boost because her youngest leaves are kind of pale. I've heard that it's hard to overdo it with it, so figured it was safe enough. It has an NPK of 5-1-1, so I thought the P & K boost might be good too. Day 58 (9/12) Humidity keeps getting a little high, so I busted out a dehumidifier. There is some yellowing on some newer leave serrations, but idk if it is new or I'm just thinking it's new. Day 59 (9/13) Yesterday got a little rough for her! I kicked on the dehumidifier I have before I left for the day, and good thing the wifey was home to check in! Apparently that dehumidifier pumps out some heat! Within a few hours, the tent temp was almost 93F and humidity was nearly below 40%. She was quick to turn it off, crank the exhaust fan, and get the window opened to cool it off. When I turn it on in the future, I'll have to be sure to keep an eye on the room temp. I feel like she is a long way off from being ready, really doubt she will be anywhere near the 70-77 day grow time. That's fine with me, as long as she's happy and filling out, she'll get there eventually. Most other journals I've seen, they don't chop until week 12 or so. I also felt up one of the forming buds a bit, and the smell she left on my fingers is maddeningly delicious, about knocked my socks off. Day 60 (9/14) Pulled her out last night and tried tucking in a bunch of leaves to get more light to some of the lower bud sites. It's wild how many she has. She probably could have used some defoliation, but being an auto (and my first time growing) I held off. Maybe in future grows I'll give it a shot. Doing a better job at LST would probably have helped as well. She's still trucking, starting to see some start of frostiness. Day 61 (9/15) She seems fairly light in the pot, I'll probably try to feed her tonight or tomorrow morning, it just depends on when I get outta school today. I have surgery today, so I'll be here until late so will more than likely just get it mixed up tonight for in the morning. Day 62 (9/16) I mixed her up some feed last night. She's been having some yellowing on her tips and serrations, likely from phosphorus deficiency. Hoping what I mixed up is plenty to stave that off. I mixed it last night and gave it to her this morning after lights on. Her smell has really kicked in, I'm glad I got a filter and exhaust fan or the house would smell amazingly illegal. I was running late this morning and didn't even remember to get a pic of her this morning. I'll try to get one tonight before she goes to bed. Day 63 (9/17) Some of her lower leaves are starting to yellow between veins, showing magnesium deficiency. I almost put some cal-mag in yesterday with her feeding, now I wish I did. I'll wait it out and get her some next time she gets watered, or sooner if she's gotten worse since last night. I feel like she is just gobbling through her food, but honestly idk. I may be just keeping her right at the edge of deficiencies.

11/24 and week nine Will be feeding Monday as well as a foliar of weak cal-mag Defoliating as well Tuesday Maggie's bud are beginning to cone as Layla and so that is hopeful. 11/27 Do not see much bud building on Brandy. Not a deficiency issue that I can see just the effect of the stunting. Considering harvesting Brandy cutting my losses and freeing light space for the others which we hope will pay off. Get some sleep see how it looks in the morning. 11/27 PM Brandy and the Runtz will be harvested this week as they are just ready to go and I want some of both :) Recharge and bio-bloom for Layla and Maggie just some water and a bit of recharge for Brandy. Just to see what happens PH 6.5 New pics and vid 11/29 new pics Going to let Brandy continue to ripen the Recharge seems to have triggered new hair growth 11/30 Changed the bulb on the Lights to a different maker (vivosun) and man what a difference. That old light was costing us! From now on that bulb is changed every six months.

The smell on this one is next-level for real! I got 2–3 different phenos, but they all carry that same loud scent I’d describe it as sweet and fruity I honestly can’t wait to smoke it, and judging by the insane layer of trichomes she’s rocking, I already know she’s gonna hit hard.😝😝

Ciao ragazzi!!! Eccoci e finita la seconda settimana di fioritura le piante hanno smesso di fare lo stretching e hanno iniziato a formare i fiori. come si vede nel video ho fatto la tecnica chiamata lollipop,ovvero defogliato ed eliminato tutto ciò che non si era ben formato o che non avrebbe preso abbastanza luce. A livello di fertilizzante ho dato per 1.5 L di acqua 1.5ml di enzimi 2 ml di top bloom ringrazio per la collaborazione viparspectra adesso è parecchio che utilizzo la loro lampada e devo dire che vedo i risultati. Ottima lampada led nel mio caso sto utilizzando Viparspectra XS2000 in uno spazio di coltura 100x100x200 this well-known brand offers different solutions look at the official website https://viparspectra.eu/ or Search for it on Amazon: Amazon US: https://amzn.to/30xSTVq Amazon Canada: https://amzn.to/38udUVe Viparspectra UE: bit.ly/ViparspectraUE Viparspectra USA: bit.ly/ViparspectraUS continuate a seguirmi 💪 lasciate un like 👍 maryjane23😛

Everything is going great Royal Gorilla is the farthest along . It is very compact and starting to get a little frosty. Green Gelato is the second farthest along. Doing well. It is very spaced out LSD is coming along. I think because it has probably double the branches, it is taking longer to develop HulkBerry was put into 12/12 4 days later but is looking good. Plant structure is very similar to the Green Gelato

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. I haven't managed to try the Tropicana Cookies auto yet so this photoperiod fast version was definitely a new adventure. She grew more squat and bushier then i was expecting and her shape really did remind me of pineapple express. To be honest she was great to grow. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week. Harvest GDG16 Wedding cheesecake FF=35g+20g larf Tropicana Cookies FF=42g+10g larf Gorilla Cookies FF=59g+5g larf Total weight, decent buds=136g Total weight larf=35g Light power Total= 200.43Kw 18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs 12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs Total hours for lights= 1308hrs 200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average. Average 153w/hr Total g/W=0.89g/W Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63 Each gram cost £1.12 (not including larf). The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow. Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

🌸 Blütetag 1 – Umstellung auf 12/12 Gestern haben wir offiziell die Blüte eingeleitet und auf 12/12 umgestellt. Damit startet jetzt die Stretch-Phase und die Pflanzen gehen langsam in den Blütemodus über. Heute Morgen wurde gegossen und dabei gab es eine Übergangs-Düngung mit Crazy Hills Nutrients, damit die Pflanzen den Wechsel möglichst stressfrei schaffen. Verwendete Nährstoffe (Crazy Hills): Upthrive (Grow Fertilizer) – weiterhin leicht mitgegeben für den Übergang Prosper (Bloom Fertilizer) – als Start in die Blütephase Spark (Flowering Stimulant) – zur Unterstützung der frühen Blütenbildung Elix (All-in-One Booster) – als zusätzlicher Support im Mix Zusätzlich wurden heute einige Blätter entlaubt (Defoliation), um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und mehr Licht an die unteren Triebe zu bringen. Ziel ist es, die Pflanzen jetzt sauber und offen in die Stretch-Phase zu schicken. Die Pflanzen zeigen noch leichte Anzeichen vom Training und der Umstellung, was direkt nach dem Flip normal ist. Jetzt geht es vor allem darum, die Bedingungen stabil zu halten und sie in Ruhe in die Blüte starten zu lassen. Training / Setup LST bleibt aktiv, damit das Canopy möglichst gleichmäßig ist. Die beiden hinteren Pflanzen (Roswell Code) wurden gezielt geöffnet und verteilt, damit mehr Licht ins Innere kommt. Ziel ist ein flaches, gleichmäßiges Dach für die Stretch-Phase. Da ich übers Wochenende unterwegs bin, wurde die Blüte bewusst jetzt eingeleitet, damit alles stabil läuft, während ich weg bin. Jetzt heißt es beobachten, ruhig bleiben und den Stretch arbeiten lassen 🌱 🌸 Flowering Day 1 – Flip to 12/12 Yesterday we officially switched to 12/12, starting the flowering phase. The plants are now entering the stretch period and slowly transitioning into bloom mode. This morning they received a full watering with a transition feed using Crazy Hills Nutrients to help them move smoothly into flowering. Nutrients used (Crazy Hills): Upthrive (Grow Fertilizer) – still included lightly for the transition phase Prosper (Bloom Fertilizer) – introduced to start flowering nutrition Spark (Flowering Stimulant) – added to support early flower development Elix (All-in-One Booster) – extra support within the mix Today I also did some defoliation, removing selected fan leaves to improve airflow and allow more light to reach lower growth. The goal is to send them into stretch with a cleaner, more open structure. The plants still show slight stress from training and the recent flip, which is totally normal at this stage. The main goal now is to keep conditions stable and let them settle into flower. Training / Setup LST remains in place to maintain an even canopy. The two plants in the back (Roswell Code) were opened up and spread out for better light penetration. Goal is a flat, even canopy going into stretch. I decided to flip now because I’ll be away over the weekend, so this timing keeps everything stable while I’m gone. Now it’s time to watch the stretch and let them do their thing.🍀

È iniziata da poco la 4°settima, sembra stiano crescendo bene le piccole😍 in questi giorni mi sono dedicato a un po' di defogliazione e di giorno in giorno cerco di migliorare LST per favorire la penetrazione della luce. Alzato il dimmer al 75% e ho allontanato un po' la lampada dalle piante e sembra stia o reagendo bene! Spero tanto di fare un buon lavoro! 💪 Ai prossimi aggiornamenti! AGGIORNAMENTO: Sono passati 2 giorni dalle ultime foto pubblicate, si stanno infoltendo per bene le piccole😍 aspetterò ancora un altro po' per mandarle in fioritura,vorrei riuscire ad occupare più spazio superficiale possibile. Sto alternando con le annaffiature fertilizzando moderatamente una volta si e una no.. per il momento sembra tutto ok!😎

Hello guys! Here we are with another week... At the end she was indeed flowering already, due to the stress and, I guess, some heat issues in the tent... Well, so we start seeing some very awesome, little purple flowers popping out everywhere. I'm still using LST technique to better fill up the tent, as well as defoliating some fan leaves. I also finally moved her to the 20 liters pot, and soon gonna be in the tent alone, as the other diary I have, the gigantic Glue Galato, it's almost getting to an end. I've started the flowering nuts dosages and for now all looks pretty fine, there's any sign of deficiency! I'll keep you posted with what, in my opinion, seems to be a funny diary, thanks to this incredible strain. Stay tuned and stay high!

Sticky Broccoli Auto – Week 7 Update Week 3 of Flower Stretch appears to be finished and the plants have transitioned fully into flower production. Bud sites are forming across the canopy and stacking is beginning nicely. Trichomes are already visible on a couple of the plants, which is a great early indicator of strong resin production. Aroma is developing into a sweet, skunky, earthy profile. Overall plant health looks excellent with strong color and structure. There is very minor tip burn visible on some leaves, which may be the result of allowing the coco to dry back slightly too much between feedings. Allowing coco to dry too far can concentrate salts in the medium and temporarily increase EC around the root zone. ⸻ Light & Environment • Plants have finished stretch and are now focusing energy on bud formation. • UV-A and UV-B supplementation introduced this week at low intensity. • UV schedule: 30 minutes halfway through the light cycle. • Final defoliation completed to open the canopy and improve airflow and light penetration. ⸻ Feeding Log All nutrient measurements are per gallon. 3/3 Started using low intensity UV-A and UV-B for 30 minutes halfway through the light cycle. Mixed ~4 gallons of feed solution. Each plant received about 15% runoff. 940 ppm 5.7 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 13 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 2 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/4 Added Royal Rush to the schedule at 8 ml per gallon once per week as recommended on the bottle. Interested to see how the 8-0-0 nitrogen boost performs during flowering. 1200 ppm 5.8 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 15 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 3 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 8 ml Royal Rush (weekly) • 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/5 Final defoliation completed. Mixed 4 gallons. 1140 ppm 5.8 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 15 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 3 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/6 Mixed 4 gallons. Auto-watering system ran until about 10% runoff. 1160 ppm 5.8 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 15 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 3 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/7 Auto-watering system activated until about 1 gallon remained in the reservoir. Each plant watered to runoff. 1180 ppm 5.8 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 15 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 3 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic • 6 ml Photosynthesis Plus ⸻ 3/8 Mixed 4 gallons. Approximately 2.5 gallons used. Each plant received a healthy amount of runoff. Plants are looking very healthy and bud sites are stacking nicely. 1100 ppm 5.8 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 15 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 3 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic ⸻ 3/9 Mixed 3 gallons. Each plant watered to light runoff. About 1.5 gallons of feed solution remained. 885 ppm 5.8 pH • .5 ml Silicium Bloom • 2 ml MagCal • 5 ml Cocos A • 15 ml Cocos B • 4 ml Pure Zym • 3 ml Green Sensation • 2 ml Power Buds • 5 ml Ruby Fulvic ⸻ 3/10 Finished the remaining nutrient solution from 3/9. No runoff. ⸻ Nutrient Function Overview Silicium Bloom Provides potassium silicate to strengthen cell walls, improve structural strength, and increase resistance to environmental stress during heavy flower development. MagCal Supplies calcium and magnesium which are critical for chlorophyll production, cell structure, and preventing deficiencies common in coco. Cocos A & B Primary base nutrient supplying macro and micronutrients needed for flowering growth. Pure Zym Enzymes that break down dead root matter and organic debris in the root zone, keeping the rhizosphere clean and improving nutrient uptake. Green Sensation Bloom enhancer designed to increase flower density, resin production, and final yield. Power Buds Encourages rapid flower initiation and increased bud site formation. Ruby Fulvic Fulvic acids improve nutrient chelation and transport, helping plants absorb nutrients more efficiently. Royal Rush High nitrogen microbial feed that stimulates beneficial microbes and increases metabolic activity in the root zone. Photosynthesis Plus Beneficial bacteria that enhance photosynthesis efficiency and root zone microbial activity.

Que hay familia, actualizo la séptima semana de floración, y es que estos clones por muy pequeños que se hayan quedado están dando unas flores increíbles con unos aromas espectaculares, yo espero que en 10/14 días estén listas pero eso nunca se dice , podría estimarse. Los aromas son con un dulce muy remarcado. Ya quito toda la alimentación y desde ya solo se alimentarán con agua, ya vamos viendo cómo maduran estas últimas semanas. Poco más puedo decir, tengo algo de temperatura alta, sobre los 26/27 grados, sin contar eso lo demás va genial. Buenos humos que paséis buena navidad 💨💨💨
