We back with some buckets! Time to fire up the pumps and get this show on the road. Soaked this beautiful little gem of a bean in some water until it cracked then threw it into the bucket with 100% perlite. Started them on a low dose of maxigro on day 3. Doing these diy Dutch Bucket style as always. Going to be running 8 in house genetics strains on the system with constant 24 hour a day irrigation. Not much exciting going on yet, but with a little luck that may change pretty soon. A huge thanks to @wildeweed for this little truffle.

This entry covers days 15-23. Same as last week, there is a timelapse! I hope you check it out. (Timelapse to be added ASAP! The internet is too slow to upload it now! This past week I've upped the nutrients to about 410 ppm. This is a stronger nutrient solution than the one I used for my GSC at this age. I decided to up the nutrients so much because I noticed my leaves were a bit light in color, which I thought might be because it was lacking enough nutrients. Unfortunately the leaves are still this same light green at the end of this week, as well as some light splotches. Today, day 23, has seen some confusion. I found what I thought to be root rot, but turned out to be a nutrient buildup. I treated this using Jef79's suggestion of rinsing with water than matches the pH and temperature of my reservoir. I know the brown roots were from this nutrient build up because simply rinsing them helped a lot. After resolving this issue, I bound her down for some low stress training.

Today is start of week 4. Not much to report except , all plants got defoliated on day 19 for the last time. Also little buds is starting to form on all the short zkittlez plant the tall plants looks to be 3 or 4 days behind the short plants. (12 clones vegg for 1 week in 16 oz cups transplanted into 1 gallon grow bag and into flower this week.)

* ******* Week 10 - June 13 to 19, 2020 - Days 64 to 70 from germination ********** * She is getting really close to harvest......around day 77??? into darkness next week I suspect. She has been awesome but the damn pH has total screwed with the yield though as she couldn’t get the potassium she wanted to fatten up some more in weeks 9 and 10. They are going to be very sticky buds but the size will not be as big as if the pH had stayed in 6.1 to 6.4 range through flower......running mid 7’s is too damn high. Looking more into unfiltered tap water as another issue this run..........dechlorinated but not filtered........ More info to come.......getting pictures added in for now. Little more detail: June 13 - Day 64 - 👍

Comming soon

Sep 20: Lemon Cream Kush smells great and the buds are looking really nice. Nice big and hard buds covered in white trichomes. Life is good. Did a second flush as the buds need another week and I like how the first flush went. Otherwise just pHed water. Sep 24: removed some more fan leaves to let more light onto the ripening buds. She has picked up some nice frosting in the last few days and smells really great. Will likely keep going as long as the weather is good. Maybe three more weeks at most. Sep 25: harvested the tops. Maybe a bit early but today was a good day to do it before 3-4 days with cool rainy weather. Put 310 g into freezer and 1040 g in the washing machine. Total 1350 g wet buds harvested is equivalent to 340 g dried. There is still a lot on the plant to leave for another couple of weeks, and she will be well over a pound dried weight. Hashwashing recovered 56 g of beautiful light tan coloured wet resin.

Plants came down at day 53. Nice weight and drying commenced. More purple coloring and smell is amazingly fruity

Another week is over, I couldn't update it before because I think the site was having problems... but anyway, the last photos were from 06/08 and it's time to harvest... The smell is great and the flowers are super resinous! Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌱

For the first time, I tried working with enzymes in the irrigation water. These are supposed to break down dead roots and plant material in the soil and make it available to the plant as food. I'm curious to see how it goes. After the first three weeks of light changeover the flower transformation is done. Now it is the right time for defoliation and lollopoping. In case of creamy the defoliation was sorely needed. I removed 6 weaker branches. That was the right decision, because I found two pollen sacs on a branch in the shady interior of the plant. Five days later, I couldn't find any more male flowers, so I hope the problem is solved. Light Power: 100% Day 72 Flower day 29 Photoshooting Defoliaton Day 68 Flower day 25 Lollipopping

Already week 7, and it’s starting with much better air humidity which makes it easier for me to stay in the recommended VPD range – currently 54% at 25 °C at canopy height. With 58, 67, 78 and 80 cm plants’ average height is about 71 cm. Odour has increased, and sometimes, but only shortly, I get the feeling the coal before the blowers cannot eliminate all of it. While the smell was a bit strange sometimes one and a half week ago, it’s now absolutely yummy, sweet and promising. As is all the sticky stuff adhering to my folding rule when I measure their size. I am a bit confused about the amount of yellowing leaves. That would indicate a nutrition deficit. On the other hand, last feeding (yesterday it was only calmagged water) brought some brown edges to their tips as I wrote. Which could indicate a slight over-nutrition. I am not *that* worried as leaves around the buds all look great (except for mentioned, but not youngest tips), and mature plants obviously tend to concentrate on bud production solely. But week 7 is quite early, or isn’t it? Any recommendations? Maybe I should go with organic fertiliser next time to avoid being stuck between two options ;) As they had run dry already, I gave each one another round of drink. Slightly less fertilised than last week. And I removed the lowest yellow branches and tiny buds that would not make it into the light in time. The Pineapples must have some mimosa genes crossed in. Each time I touch them they bow away their heads in deep dislike. The taller one looks like her head would be too heavy now … It is not, and usually they recover after an hour or so. The Sherbets are pretty unimpressed by all I do. Meanwhile I’ve been working on the Raspberry Pi BoxControl that should help me stay in better VPD ranges in the future. I am not sure how to translate this all into a more stable solution than based on a breadboard, but the state so far (and how it is supposed to work): Raspi runs headless with control software on autostart. Every minute temperature and humidity are received from a GY-21 I2C chip that should be hanging around plant tops. Data is saved in a database, VPD is calculated and signalled in form of a RGB LED color. Additionally, LCD display rotates through current stats. 3 relay modules can en- or disable misting, dehydration or an additional blower. Maybe I can add a CO2 sensor just for the fun of it (but I’d have to develop a device protocol myself), maybe even one or two soil moisture sensors. Theoretically you could also have a lighting control, but then, GPIO ports are all used. The display needs a lot of them, and while I can log onto the Raspi on my local network and view its desktop, I’d prefer to have a quick overview at place. I am not really informed about current models. Are some GPIO extensions or Raspis with extended GPIOs on the market? But so far, that’s all theory. I never had a PCB developed for my hobbyist projects, I am not the best with a solder station. Never had a Raspi run 24/7 for a really long time. Did a bit more lollipop ping in the evening. Especially tallest Shepard had fun building some more very low buds and branches. I think it can investigate its powers better on different places. Day 51: It’s getting hard to measure soil humidity with my low tech device. Soil must be full with roots and I don’t want to hurt them much. I can see them at the outlets of their pots too, sometimes a bit dry of course as these parts run dry earliest. Experiments to include the CO2 sensor in my test setup failed. I can read and reset it, but setting measurement mode and reading values don’t work. Maybe because my I2C library cannot use ClockStretchLimit. Running out of GPIO ports anyway and seeing that the soil sensors are analogue devices, I’ll probably revive my Uno too and have discovered some clever Raspi heads that should make a more stable setup (and some cooling) possible while also adding a handful of PWM ports and an integrated display. I’d like to include a camera module too and it would be great to have some ports available. A final setup would obviously include a Raspi 4 or 5 to easily enable secure online access. But so far, all working nicely in test setup. Day 54: Sometimes I wonder if they’re still growing at all, but then it’s good to have the daily pictures to compare bud width which now seems to be the main interest of the ladies, although differences are now clearer to tell between two day intervals. The taller ones look like they are one week ahead of the smaller plants, with even higher fan leaves turning pale now. Which at an estimated seed–harvest time of 8–11 weeks for both strains should be pretty common, I guess. Or am I wrong? Summerly temperatures make the temperatures at canopy level sometimes reach 31 °C, but at least the simple ultrasonic diffusers arrived and I am getting closer to a better environment control. I can at least switch the diffuser inside the tent remotely from my phone, and a deep bowl of water with a lid so the "fountain" produced will not wet the tent floor and one of the fans placed at the bottom now to lift its mist upwards seems to do the trick. Humidity increases while temperature drops, getting the plants into a better VPD level, so all I have to do is wait for the evil A to deliver the necessary Raspi components to have this automated, maybe still while this grow runs. At the end of this week, there was just a bit of height gain for the two smaller ladies who now approach their next 10 cm mark. Overall, I get the feeling it won’t be that long until harvest. Maybe with the taller ones a week earlier than the others. There’s really not that much bud growth anymore, rather refinements – like buds getting more nodes and color. I’ll investigate the trichomes every few days but would welcome your estimation.

Die Blüten schwellen immer mehr an und ein starker Geruch liegt im Raum. Um die Temperatur von teilweise 31°C zu verringern habe ich einen zweiten Mini-Ventilator oben im Zelt angebracht, wodurch warme Ablift der Lampe abgezogen wird. Da ich eine sativalastige Wirkung möchte und meiner Beobachtung zu Folge etwa 85% der Trichome bereits milchig sind, werde ich 7 Tagen ernten, was insgesamt 70 Tage von Keimung bis Ernte entspricht.

Week 7 we increased the bio-grow / bio-heaven to 3 ml/L to provide more N to the plants but they still look like something is missing. More fresh air is provided this week. At the beginning we thought that this light green pale colour on leaves was due to N deficiency or fresh air. After a week of extra N and Fresh air we can say that non of them was what is causing this issue. All these let us believe that our problem is the low temperature as in the end of the dark period temp drops down to 17 c and is likely that soil gets low enough to stress the plants. Effort will be made in week 8 to get them back in good health and switch them to 12/12 as soon as possible. Our auto "noname" strain after a week of watering with just high PH water around 7.5 is back to normal feeding. 2ml/L biogrow/bloom/heaven and 1 ml/L topmax. It's aroma is intense grapefruit/citrus.

Started her outdoor in a 1.5 l pot, had great weather with alot of sun, but in about 1-2 weeks in bloom the weather changed and the temp droped to about 5 celcius by night, so se slowed down in growth, took her indoor under a budget 150 w led light and after a few weeks she started to fatten up and eat alot again, shes a real gulper of nutes, A plessure to grow! The smell is amazing! Very strong genetics! This strain has potntional to yield enormous in a bigger pot and better light. Amazing work by @Fast_Buds A very very potent smoke! Perfectly balanced hybrid, love it! Starts in the head and lift you up and get you giggly then slowly gets down you're whole body and get you very relaxed

Hello!! Too bad I only found this site now and didn't take too many photos during the first month. About the plant, it was the smallest of my plants at first, but then it grew very weel and now is the biggest of my girls. She entered in flowering a week later than expected, but beacuse of that she could grow more than the others. I've done only some LST and the plant just loved it, now i have like 11-12 main stems. Today I also have done some lollipopping but very cautiously because it was my first time doing it, and I didn't want to mess up.

D15 - The start of the third week of vegetation. Each plant got 100 ml of compost tea @ pH 6.5. D17 - The girls are around 10 cm tall and 10 cm across. I adjusted the RH in the tent down to 80%. D20 - The girls were getting dry so each got 150ml water @ pH 6.6. There are adventitious roots coming out of the stems on all three plants. I have never experienced that before but at least I know that the RH is high enough ;) D21 - All is well in the tent at the end of the third week of vegetation. Next week I will transplant two girls into their final pots, while the third will get a new home with a friend of mine. #1 and #2 are 11 cm tall and 14 cm wide, while #3 is 13 cm tall and 16 cm across. I will most likely keep #1 and #2 since they are the most similar and give away the biggest girl.

Well, looks like autumn is here, so I’m starting the flush. The next waterings will be plain water at 260 ppm — pretty much the lowest I can get without extra cost. Upd: I was trying to understand the plant through the readings, but due to my lack of experience, I still kept bouncing back and forth with the ppm. That’s definitely not ideal. Next time I’ll try to rely on both experience and the meters.
