Ahí vamos.

ladies have started to take off much more this week. I added heavy 16 finish to schedule of nutes. may be adding fire and roots also over next weeks. no huge issues this week, felt pretty dialed in for most part. using grow room glasses ive found i can get decent video of the girls under lights vs having to take them oit find ok lighting and taking a pic. noticed smell coming off the plants this week, its weak right now, but definitely starting to stink! going to top at the 3rd node once they reach 8 inches tall. after day 28, I transferred into 3 gallon fabric pots, which will be their final homes til harvest! (bottom leafs on plant #1 got some spotting, one side was windburn from earlier in grow, the other side I got a few drops of nutrient mixed water on them, and even after wiping away it left spots on leaves, its all good they are going to be removed after topping)

Loved it!! Relatively easy going!! Couple off moments but not worth getting into but the smell!!! It’s not super strong where you smell it throughout the house when you burp the jars but she has a very (what I could only reference as sour, sweet and lemony, almost like that lemon pledge your mom use to clean the house with) smell but I love it!!!

Thank you Heather, you rock as always. Stoked to get these soaked:) Im impressed with FastBuds stability, terpene profiles and mass. These are great plants, happy and thankful to grow em out

Some leaf tips seem to be burned, so they got ph-corrected water every second time. Never thought that Green Buzz nutrition is so powerful, 100ml of grow nutrition is enough for at least 8 plants as it seems by now. Started adding some organic PK nutrition but only half of recommended dose. Flower looks good so far. Added two new pics to show how different the flower shows off, I called them pheno #1 and #2 #2 seems to have much more pistils, hairs or stigmas, not sure about the right word. She is also brighter white. Thinking about to cut 2 or 3 clones but I have never done monstercropping.

Excellent smell and taste from this strain will be growing it again! I have found little purple spots on the buds aswell looks great.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 17/02/2020 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.4PH water with 0,2ml of each: Cal Mag (Atami), Grow, Bloom and Max, and 0,5ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed some run off, I use about 1/4 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 100/150PPM (500 scale). She's starting to smell like smelly feet. 22/02/2020 - Last feed, gave her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,2ml of each: Cal Mag (Atami), Grow, Bloom and Max, and 0,5ml of each: Heaven, Alga-mic and Vera, noticed some run off, I use about 1/4 of the nutrient dosage on the chart, to achieve about 100/150PPM (500 scale).

Entramos la semana con un lavado de raíces ya que cuando se ha revisado la EC estaba en 3 y la hemos bajado a 1,6. Quitados algunas hojas feas y dándole recuperación a la sobrefertilizacion. Esperemos que se recupere bien

Monday It’s beginning of week 4 and they are doing pretty well. The main stems are hard and strong and it’s impossible to bend them at that point. I am practicing a very light hand LST everyday like I am showing in the video. Tuesday Watering for both of them , you can follow the (simple) process in the videos. The plants are doing great except for a little issue on one of them that I will show you tomorrow. Topping or not ? May be beneficial so I’m about to do it. Fiming maybe ? Thursday Topping on video ! Simple method

Buenas growers Algunos problemas con la temperatura alta pero ya todo controlado. Están creciendo creo que bien. A ver como se portan en los próximos días Saludos y buenas cosechas ✌️🏼Peace

Got the girls under the new xs2000 from viparspectra. I really love the style of this light! Check out their black friday sale here. https://www.viparspectra.com/collections/xs-series Day 14 for the gutter hoe grow show. The color was looking a little light so I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp and gave them a little calmag. The biggest challenge this week was not topping the plants. Letting them grow without topping isn't my style. I chose not to because these girls are going to be competing for light and space with some monsters soon. I will probably have to lift them up to get them even with the bigger plants. I expect them to start flowering in a week or so since they are on 12 12 lighting.

Heute habe ich etwas Besonderes für Euch - in dem Video zeige ich Euch, wie ich Wurmtee aus meiner eigenen Wurmbox vom Balkon ernte und ihn im Verhältnis 1:10 mit Wasser verdünne und meine Pflanze damit gieße. Ab dieser Woche gibt es bis zum Ende des Grows ein Mal Wurmtee in der Woche. Ansonsten entwickelt sich die Pflanze schön weiter. Mittlerweile ist sie durch den Stretch bei 35cm Höhe angelangt - noch habe ich etwas Höhenpuffer, daher binde ich sie nicht weiter runter. Die Blüte ist im vollen Gange und es beginnt langsam zu duften. Durstig ist die Dame mittlerweile auch und sie erhält nun alle 2 Tage 2 Liter Wasser. Nach wie vor ohne PH-Anpassung. Dabei achte ich darauf, dass die Wassertemperatur bei 20 Grad liegt. Ich bin schon sehr gespannt, wie sich die Buds entwickeln im Vergleich zu meinem vorherigen Run im 30-Liter-Stofftopf mit meiner Papaya Cookies Auto. Ich plane für meinen nächsten Run ein weiteres Video, in dem ich Euch zeige, wie ich u. a. mit dem Wurmhumus mein gebrauchtes Living Soil aufbereite. __________ Today I have something special for you! In this video, I’ll show you how I harvest worm tea from my own balcony worm bin, dilute it 1:10 with water, and feed my plant with it. From this week until the end of the grow, I’ll be giving her worm tea once a week. Other than that, the plant is developing beautifully. Thanks to the stretch, she has reached a height of 35 cm. I still have some vertical space left, so I’m not doing any more LST (low stress training) for now. Flowering is in full swing, and the smell is starting to kick in. The lady is getting quite thirsty, too—she’s now receiving 2 liters of water every two days. I’m still not adjusting the pH, but I make sure the water temperature is around 20°C. I’m really excited to see how the buds develop compared to my previous run in the 30-liter fabric pot with my Papaya Cookies Auto. For my next run, I’m planning another video where I’ll show you how I reuse and amend my living soil using things like my own worm castings.

The plants have taken to their Earthboxes, especially #1 with the BuildASoil Light. The Earthbox with my Coots mix was the runt, plus I damaged the roots during transplant so it has an uphill battle, but I wouldn't count it out yet. It was looking droopy and with slight discoloration, but after a drench of Kashi Blend Tea (1/3 cup Kashi Blend, 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses in 1 gallon of water for 24 hours) it perked right up. As for preventative pest management, I've kept doing foliar applications every 4 days of EM-FPE -> EM-1, next week I will incorporate the just-finished EM-5. I made a JADAM wetting agent (JWA) but I have realized even local bottled water is too mineral-heavy for it, so I will need to find a source of distilled water if I want to use it in my foliar regime. Next week I will begin doing LST to get some more tops going. At some point I plan to add a trellis, I have been busy with work but I will find the time to set up something, preferably a trellis that can move with the Earthbox to facilitate maintenance and not have them fixed in place for the entire training and flowering cycles.

The Autos seems to move much slower than Photos. You can see the difference in growth from seed in the same amount of time. In order to accommodate everything that sprouted, I decided to take the chance of moving the Blueberry Fem and White Widow Fem out of the 5 gallon plastic grow bags and put everything into tall 3 gallon fabric grow bags. Now I can fit 8 plants in the grow tent. Since the flowering schedule is pretty loose, I sprouted a Strawberry Cheesecake which is in the incubation chamber now. It will be one of the eight. But the 2-3 Gelat.OGs that will be left will have to either be given away or I have one other idea. Tell me what you think. Leave them in the Solo cups right in the tent, in the spaces between the pots. They'll be limited in size, but they will flower. That would be a total of ten plants in the space. Pretty outrageous. Watch it work.

Semana 4: Fotos del Día martes 30 de Julio 2024. Las plantas van bien unas se estan recuperando y las demas están creciendo muy vigorosamente, lamentablemente se nos murio la sherbet y una Gorilla Auto no creció nada. Seguiremos Reportando la próxima semana.

🌱

dia 3 volví a cortar un par de hojas más de arriba del todo . esta semana seguimos con el tratamiento anti araña roja con Solabiol como preventivo, no he visto ni una y así espero que siga siendo.

Black Opium is looking faat! These colas are beasts. I'm enjoying this plant very much 😁 I definitely need to stake some more of the plant as the buds are too heavy to support the flowers. Absolutely beautiful plant, buds are super heavy, what's not to love! Here is what I did this week. 12.9.25: I watered with 2.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 5ml Trace 💜 5ml Flourish PH: 6.5 PPM: 335 16.9.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 5ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.5 PPM: 316 The fungus gnats have really incresed since I did a watering of the whole tent. I have some more sticky traps set out, and I will not water for several days. Once it has dried the top soil, I will add some more Diatomaceous Earth to the top 5cm. Thank for checking in this week, best of luck to everybody participating in the contest! Have fun, keep growing, see you in the comments 😁 💚 ✌️ 🧡 👌

######################################### HARVEST (Day 93 / June 4) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x2 space because of heater and dehumidification and other plants (Outlier Z). This plant used a dedicated CMH 315 light. The plant was grown in hydroponics using a custom single-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. I also experimented with Rapid start in the RDWC system, but I didn't see explosive root growth relying on Rapid Start as an additive to the system verse using it when starting in rapid rooters which worked well. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Topped twice for a mainline structure and she really spread out. Sparkling golf ball size nugs down the branches and spaced out nicely. The scent off her was like burned rubber/tires or maybe fresh blacktop. A single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- No dark period and no flush. On day 93 she was chopped and hung to dry. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- Entire plant hung upside down for 15 days. The temps were dialed in at 60F by using the S6 intake fan pulling air from the AC through intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 7, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. Trimmed on day 18. Then the jars were left open in the tent for another 12 more days for a full 30 day dry at 60%/60F while rolling the jars frequently. Also ran dehumidifier in the tent but it only ran for 1-2 minutes every hour because the AC was doing most of the dehumidification on the intake. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- Trimming was an absolute breeze. All swelled nuggets, very little sugar leafs left to trim. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and chose not to use a boveda this time. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. Jars were left open in the tent for a total dry time of 30 days from harvest keeping the tent at 60%/60F. Once closed, the jars were burped once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange until a. 62% was maintained in the jar. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 30-day dry and 14-day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== 180.41g (6.44oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== 57g (2.03oz) ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Total: 238.41g (8.51oz) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 238.41g / 4 sqft (2x2 canopy) = 59.60g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 315 Watts / 4 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 78.75 watts per sqft. 238.41g / 315 watts = 0.76 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- Bag appeal is top-notch. Trichome covered, with aromas of that unique 'kush' you can quickly identify based on experience. Best OG Kush I've ever tried, hands down! The flavour is kushy, smoke is smooth and definitely my favorite strain in my tote of cured harvests at the moment. I can't keep my hands off of the jars. Definitely not a daytime strain, even for experienced users, although I'll use it in the afternoon when life is throwing curve balls. The effects rise you up, then sets you right down and will wash away all that anxiety after a long day. Put it this way....if I puff a few hours before bed, I still feel it the next morning when I peel my eyes open. No joke. I'll definitely be growing this one again, maybe even next run because I'll be sad when I run out. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Not running more of this amazing plant. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- This was the first run at my new residence so it will take some time to get it dialed in. I had some calibration issues which are now fixed. I'm going to be shooting for 1gram per watt on the next run. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- DarkOwl is the best autoflower I've grown yet. I'm now eager to give the Bruce Banner #3 they released a run and will surely acquire future releases from DarkOwl. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!
