19.1.25: I have watered all plants with 300ml of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, with 1/3 jar of black strap molasses with Ecothrive Biosys-1g. I am looking to increase the sugars for microbial life and plant processes. It'll also add some extra Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements. I also, watered all plants with Bloom nutrients. Using dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with the following nutrients: (ml/l) ;- ♡ 2ml Cal-Mag ♡ 2ml Ecothrive Flourish ♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster ♡ 2ml Biobizz Bloom ♡ 2ml Biobizz Top Max ♡ 1g of Ecothrive Biosys I watered around 1-3 litres per plant. Depending on size and requirements. I'm still spilling water containing the nutrient solution. 🙄 I am using this to rub into the leaves. I think a nice foliar massage won't do any harm, make the most of the situation. The plants have become very hungry and thirsty. Increased the water by double. I ran out of my TNC cal-mag. I decided to order the Xpert Nutrients brand, as I like their products. It isn't organic as far as I can tell, but I don't think it matters too much to me, to be honest. I also want to top dress this week, so I bought some Green Leaf PK bud Booster dry amendment from Amazon, too. I'll mix it with canna coco, perlite, worm castings, and Ecothrive Life Cycle. 24.1.25: I went ahead and top dressed all the plants with 4.5 gallons of my supersoil custom mix. This consists of the following substrate and dry amendments: ♡ 60% Canna coco ♡ 20% Worm castings ♡ 15 % Perlite The remaining 5% consists of the following dry amendments;- ♡ 10g Ecothrive Biosys ♡ 1 Tsp RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 3 Tsp Vitalink Bat guano ♡ 4 Tsp Diatomaceous earth ♡ 8 Tsp Ground Cinnamon ♡ 10g Green Leaf Bud Booster PK booster. ♡ 3 Tsp Ecothrive Life Cycle. •Worm castings for some all round nutrition. •Cinnamon for mildew and bug repellent. •Canna coco base substrate. •Perlite for adding oxygen to the root and soil system. •Green Leaf Bud Booster PK Booster for blooming. Building strong big buds. •Vitalink bat guano again for Bloom. •RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules, to boost beneficial microbes. •Ecothrive Life Cycle for lots of great benefits. •Diatomaceous earth for Silica. •Ecothrive Biosys, for an extra microbial boost. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

All plants doing well. I did a sledgehammer flush and after a few hrs i ran a bunch of water through soil to help flush the soil. I'm using full bloom nutes on everything but the dynamite desiel which are getting half bloom half grow next week I will start only bloom nutes the dynamite. I spray bt and neem oil once a week. There taking 2 gallons of water every 2 days. Weather has been nice cool at night and 75 to 80 day not too high humidity usually around 60 to 75 percent. I've started checking my soil ph and I've been ph my water and nute solution to 6.5. I've got no issues ATM.

April 19, 2024 Day 64 We are coming up on the 10 week mark soon enough. I'm expecting both of these ladies to start swelling buds any day. So another 2 weeks before harvest. Probably 3 to 4 more weeks. Tropicana Cookies is actually 31" tall while Tropicana C is 28" tall. However, due to the highest points being so tall, I have those tops as far on the outside of the light footprint as I can. I managed to get the DLI down to 50 mol/m²/d for each plant. While the rest of the canopy is happily at 45 mol/m²/d. No watering today. Maybe tomorrow. The water intake has increased a bit over the past couple of days, so I may be topping off tomorrow or early morning the day after. I'm also getting some nutrient burn from what I believe is the Overdrive. I have it at full dose and honestly think it's too much. So I'm cutting it in half as well as Bud Candy. That's also at full dose and I don't think it's needed. So cutting that in half as well. The light will be staying the same for the next 2 weeks now that the plants have hit their final height. I'm guessing that's how much longer it will be before flushing. I'll drop the light power at the same time as flush. The flush should be about a week. The environment is giving me a hard time today. The temp is high at 78° with the humidity high as well at 56%. Not really sure what's causing it, but I'll turn my damn AC on if I have to. Anyway, I'm still having trouble keeping it at 50% humidity, so getting to 45% seems unrealistic. So I'll work with 50% and just make sure to check for any signs of mold or anything. I don't think I'll get anything like that, but you never know. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 53.3% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 20, 2024 Happy 420!!! Not much going on today with these 2. They will both need watering tomorrow. So they are finally at a half gallon a day. The 2 other plants in the tent are also at a half gallon a day, but they are on the opposite schedule. It works for me. Gives me something to do everyday, but not sitting there for a half hour mixing nutrients. (I use 1 gallon jugs for each plant) Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are starting to swell and stack. They are just about ready to start swelling up. I can tell they will be super tight as well. There are a couple places where the pistils are orange and shriveled up. The bud is super dense. However, that could be seeds. I'm not too sure at this point. It's a high possibility. Tropicana C also has a couple tops with the same type of super dense buds. Again, these two are identical in every way. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same top doing the same thing. Anyway, looking super good. Buds from top to bottom. They aren't big and fat yet, but there still a good 2 to 3 weeks left. Hopefully less though. I have 4 more plants I have to start today for a contest. Unfortunately those plants will be stuck ina. 2x2 until these ones are out of the tent. The lighting hasn't changed whatsoever and won't for the next 2 weeks. The environment is looking great now. It's steadily climbing up from 68° last night and is at about 75° now and will definitely be at 76° in about an hour. The humidity is great at 51%. As I said yesterday, I don't think I'll be able to drop it down any further. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 52.3% VPD: 1.30 kPa April 21, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got watered today. Not much else going on though. Tropicana Cookies was nearly dry, but not quite. Unfortunately, Tropicana C was bone dry. I don't like it getting dry. The wick system gets messed up. But it did give me a chance to quickly wipe down the basin. Both plants have nutrient burn from what I assume was the dose of Overdrive. So today I left it out. Just to allow the nutrients to even out. Next watering I'll be doing 4 ml of it. I also dropped the Bud Candy down to 4 ml. Just Incase it was partly that as well. The lighting was, of course, not changed at all. The power will be dropped in the next week or so. This strain should have a 6 week flowering stage. 45 days is the estimate. So there's about 3 weeks left. Much longer than I was expecting. Honestly it's from the 5 week veg period. I find it strange that I didn't get any massive plants in 5 weeks. At the end of the grow, we will be hitting just under 12 weeks. No clue why I can't get my plants to grow at the suggested time frame. The earliest I have ever harvested was 11 weeks. Or maybe 12. Strange. I'll have to figure that out. The environment is looking good today. The temp is leveled out at 75° and the humidity is happily at 49%. The VPD is a little low at 1.39 kPa, but it will fix soon enough. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.4° RH: 49.7% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 22, 2024 Definitely nothing going on today. Tropicana C had a couple leaves popped off today. Just a couple that were covering some bud sites and encroaching on other tops. Tropicana Cookies looks great! I will say her buds aren't fat like I was expecting. They seem more like sativa buds. It's strange. They are thin and small and look super airy. I'm not sure if this is the deal, but both plants look like this. Only time will tell. Tropicana C also looks quite good, with the same bud swelling issues, but we shall see as I said. She got 2 leaves removed. They were being crushed by the wall and in turn were overcrowding other bud sites. The lighting is staying the same of course. I believe an a week or 2, I'll have to drop the intensity. The environment is once again looking great! 75° and 50% humidity. The overnight temp is still at 68°. I'd much rather it be at 66°. Maybe I'll cool my room off earlier in the evening to allow the tent to cool faster at night, so the temp drops to the average of 66°. I'll start that next week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.8° RH: 49.2% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 23, 2024 Nothing going on today. Just the daily inspection. What I've discovered has me a bit confused. Both plants have tons of orange pistils with some being so shriveled up you can't see them. Those buds are super tight, but I have a feeling those couple tops like that are seeded. I'll find out soon enough. Honestly, I can't tell. Don't really know what I'm looking for. The problem I'm confused about is the size of the buds. They're tiny, wispy and look underdeveloped. Maybe they are. Who knows. Maybe this strain gets early orange pistils. We shall see. I hope they swell up. Like a lot. As it stands now, it looks like an oz of smalls. Which of course is unacceptable. However, both plants are doing it, so it has to be the strain. Something I probably shouldn't be all that concerned with. I'm leaving the light where it is for the next week or so. With the pistils already turning orange, I'm thinking I should prepare for the final stage of flower. I would expect it to be done in the next 2 to 3 weeks, but it may be less time. Anyway, I'll see what they are doing next week and work from there. The environment is actually looking really good. I managed to get the temp up significantly earlier today by cranking my heat to 88°. It brought the tent temp up to 78° and the humidity just below 50%. Looking good. Now all I have to do is drop the temp a little bit to get to that perfect 75°. Also, my dehumidifier wasn't on. I must of have it off from the other day. So I should see lower humidity by the end of the day. Especially after I adjust the temp. Looking good. Update: I've been thinking about how the buds are so small. I wonder if I took the Big Bud out too early and added the overdrive too soon. I can't go back to Big Bud, but that could be the cause. Still, another 2 to 3 weeks left. So we shall see. But an interesting thought. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 49.0% VPD: 1.42 kPa April 24, 2024 Both ladies got a reservoir refill today. Tropicana C was dried out. So I need to keep a better eye on the water levels. Tropicana Cookies wasn't dried out yet though, very close but not yet. Tropicana Cookies looks great! Her buds are finally starting to swell and if there's another 2 weeks, I can expect them to get huge. We shall see. Tropicana C has the same boost in bud production and has swelling buds now. Everything else looks good with her. Speaking of swelling buds and production, both ladies are completely covered in trichomes. Not quite "frosty" yet, but getting there. I'll start with trichome pics next week. That way we have some good specimens to work with. On another note, the aroma these two are putting off is intense now. I'll have to change the smell setting to STRONG next week. It's a sickly sweet smell, but crispy. Not too heavy, but definitely has a gassy undertone. Very nice. I won't be moving the light at all for the rest of the grow. However, I may drop the power down to 80% next week and bring the DLI down to 40 mol/m²/d. But maybe not. I'm waiting for the flushing period. I'm not sure when that will be. Maybe 2 weeks? I can't tell with this strain. So many orange pistils and she looks like she is nearly done, but definitely not. They still have a good two weeks left. We shall see. The environment is a bit off today. It's raining, so the humidity is hanging out around 52%. The temp is fine at around 75° to 76°. I'm not too worried about the environment today. Just thought I would note the difference. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.6° RH: 50.9% VPD: 1.41 kPa April 25, 2024 So today is the last day of week 9 and also going into the first day of late flower. Things will most likely be changing up in the next week. Nutrients, lighting and environment. Not much to do today. No watering needed and no maintenance. I checked out both plants and as I was saying yesterday, the trichomes are looking great and will start getting pics starting tomorrow. Everything looks good for both ladies. The lighting of course wasn't messed with today. That will be changing at some point next week. The environment is shaping up to be great for the start of late flower. I got the temp down to 65° last night and the humidity down to 48°. Today I have had it around 76° with the humidity around 49%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 49.3% VPD: 1.43 kPa

GTH SEED #1 in training, just super cropped on one side to even conopy. The first site im recording will be a clone,it is on back side of plant and will not produce. #2,#3,#4 pics,#2 is stripped of leaves at about 12 inches. 06/16/18 #4 is showing pre-flowers,#2,#3, no sign yet. #1 check in the morning. 06/19/2018 Still no pre -flowers on #1,#2,#3, #4 however is female so I Fimmed her to encourage side shoots to grow biggest of wider canopy. #1 reacting well to supercropping 20 tops as of today. Praying she is female🙏🙏. She is a stretchy girl in flower 2 to 3 x her vegged height so trying to be low profile as possible.👍

All in all there were some major mistakes I made myself in which I can honestly say I think has affected the yield and quality to some extent. As this was my first use of the equipment for this run. After everything I have learnt on this run I hoping the next one there will be no errors at all.

Welcome: thanks for dropping by. Drop a like so I know you came so I can view your diaries, if you what to of course. Was able to go full steam ahead with this 1. And apply the 3 recommend nutrients to be used for seedlings. La Calavera is the exact same formula as Voodoo Juice. How can this be you ask..(As it would be copyright), well it would be if it wasn't for the fact that these ppl, (Terra Power), are the ones who own and hold the pattens to voodoo juice, tarantula and Piranha, which made AN famous. They decided to break away and all the formulas they made for AN over the years they taken 90% of them and used modern day research with autos/ruderails in mind. Their base nutes alone will blow you away. Have a look at their claims. Led-grower.eu/terra-power/. As for the plant, new strain, new nutes, new whole entire set up with a 90% controlled environment, I say 90% cause I'm waiting to get the air exchange and AC installed in my grow room. Soon it'll be 100% be able to bring temp up as high as 28c and as low as 17c. Atm I can control RH. I can bring it up to 70 by just closing my door/tent windows and then by adding a damp towel and after a few days of the grow room door closed the RH will go up to 70+% and I'll only open the door every couple hours to swap out air until my air exchanger is installed. I can get the RH as low as 35% with a full tent 30 with 1 or 2 plants. So, hoping this time I can grow top A grade bud, as the last stuff was nice my 1st harvest was C grade weed. Was still half decent though. The others were B grade for sure. Hoping this time with the money I'm going to be putting in electricity it's goman be A grade. As I'll be looking at nearly 1kwh every 2hrs. That's 7e a day when the dehuimifier will be running when in flower. But as I'm vegging everything in a 70x70 with 1 light I'll get 4-5 wks for only having to pay 80cents a day. And I'll have great high RH. And as soon as some start to flower they'll be put in the 150x150 and I'll bring the RH in the room down but it'll still stay high in the 70x70 once I have the windows sealed up. If I can't get the RH below 45-55% for pre flower I'll have lots of room in the 150x150 to put the dehumidifier in and bring down the tents RH while keeping the Rooms RH high for the small tent. I'll just run the intake fan for the 150x150 from outside the grow room up in to the attic which the RH is 50% so air intake from the room will be too high for the big tent to use. 30/4/22 Veg started: first signs of life popped up today. Going to keep em on root stims and enzymes for now. Haven't fed since planted so will water with .1 300ppm today. All the EC comes from La Sirena. Makes Will just sit back for now and let em do their thing hopefully in 48hrs will have some leafs or shell pushing up. She's growing straight up. So for now, it's just watching for any signs, (such as browning of the stem, bent stems and any early on diseases if any will hamper the plants formation of her 1st 2 fan leafs. You wanna see them no later than 24-48hrs after she pops her head up out of the ground). 1/5/22 VD 2 really at to coming on. Went from .5 to nearly 3cm. 4/5/22 Growing really well. Her first 3 days she put on 7cm her 3rd she put on 4cm of them 7. She hasn't grown up today but her face has filled out, another 2 days I reckon before she splits. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should bow in lightly Same Day. Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% And it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much in the high temps as they'll be in a sealed tent for 18hrs in 30-32c I'll have the dehuimifier in the sealed tent and will be set at 45% And will keep it in that range for all of pre flower and then I'll put it back on to negative pressure environment 21c in the dark window and after all plants come out of pre flower Co2 will be left in the tent but will be useless without a sealed tent/grow room. Thanks for reading, this will be the last update for this week other than pics. gottagrowsometime

Finally some decent growth!! 19cm this week and she got a lot bushier. Not in flowering yet but that's ok, she needs to grow more ideally. For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.

They are ready the only thing is I'm going to wait for the other plans to catch up probably 4 more days they smell really nice and can't wait to try this legendary strain. Notice that they can be sensitive to foxtailing if light is to close to their buds. Thank you for reading I will Continue to update have a happy grow.
