26.08.2024 1. RDWC: I run a DIY system made of 4 Buckets 17L+separated control/tank bucket (12L operational water per bucket used) fallponic plus underwater current. I don't know why I have made such system I just wanted to be sure that I have included every possible option. I'm not sure but maybe I'll upgrade it to rainponic it's not that hard of a job. I'm not using my 100L reservoir this run becose it needs replacement old one made a small flood in my garden. 2. TENT AC Infinity 5x5 3. Airpump Hailea ACO 388 D 70L/min. 4. Water chiller: hailea water chiller hc-150a. 5. LED GROW light Grand Master Level Tarantula voyager 1500W 2 chanel's plus controller (it will be my first run with this monster it just arrived). 6. INLINE FAN: AC Infinity cloudline S6 carbon filter. 7. CLIP FAN: AC infinity Cloudray S6 3 pcs. For low middle and over the LED air movement. 8. Humidifier AC INFINITY T3 (I don't need stronger one naturally the humidity here is around 65-70%) 9. TENT CONTROLLERS: controller 69 PROX2 10. Germination/humidity dom by AC infinity with germination lamps 40W Ionabeam S11 only for the first 2 weeks before VEG. DAY 1 Closed in a box hiden in a dark boiler room. Room temperature 25C EC 850 RH 90% Instruments used for measuring: AC Infinity Hydroponic Meter PRO AC infinity VPD thermometer DAY 2 5/6 seeds have start to crack open I guess tomorrow or the day after they will be all ready for the cubes. DAY 3 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26 C Relative Humidity 83% 5/6 seeds are showing signs of life. The 6th one is a little bit slower it's cracked as it can be seen on the picture but it refuses to show it's tale. I believe tomorrow it will be ready. On day 4 I'll put them in the "Root Riot" cubes and after that I'll just monitor the RH and RT until I see the sprouts. DAY4 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 94% 6/6 seeds have germinated so far. Today I'll move them in the Humidity dom where they will stay until they become seedlings and I'll keep them there until they are ready to be moved in the RDWC system and coco coir. In the video I have show my method of preparing the cubes for the seeds next update will be tomorrow probably only for temperature and humidity. DAY 5 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25-27. RH 89-95 I can't believe that I'm seeing first sprout today. Maybe this strain is one who can take a little push 🤣🤣🤣 I'll keep in mind and I'll se how much I can push it. Unfortunately I still don't have CO2 for veg and flower but I can try other different little tricks. I'm happy with this seeds obviously 42 Fast Buds are giving a really quality seeds. Let's see what kind of buds will come out of this seeds. I hope tomorrow everything will be sprout out and i will turn on the lamps. DAY 6 PPFD 120 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.5 RH 92.1 It's day six 4/5 seeds are successfully germinated. Maybe the next two will pop out but for one of them I'm not so sure. Anyway I have one spare seed that I can pop out for the coco project plus I have one Papaya Cookies Auto for the fifth bucket so that's no problem. The seeds ar under the light AC Infinity Ionabeam S11 on level 3 equal to 115 ppfd plus the DOM extension. DAY 7 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% I have 4/6 successfully germinated seedlings. Tomorrow I'll open up the humidity dom a little bit. It's good to have spare seeds. Now I'll have to plant my spare peace of gorilla cookies and probably one Papaya Cookies Auto (gift) becose my plans were for 6 plants. Anyway this 4 soon will be transplanted in the RDWC flowering pot. Let's see what tomorrow have to say. DAY 8 ROOM TEMPERATURE 25C RH 82% Amazing root development, I wasn't expecting this kind of speed but obviously tomorrow I'll transplant them in the RDWC even before the VEG state. Maybe I'll keep them a few more days when the first set of leaves is all out. DAY9 ROOM TEMPERATURE 24.1 RH 58% Today is the last day in the humidity Dom. I delayed the move becose i wanted to have a longer stems and becose my fertilizers got lost in the depo so ill receive them tomorrow. We have very healthy baby's with a lot of tiny roots so it will be perfect to start then from day 10. DAY 10 ROOM TEMPERATURE 26-27C RH 70% EC 115 pH 7 This is the fastest seeds I ever see. I have never transferred seedlings in to RDWC so far, usually I make this procedure around day 17-20. While I was transferring them one of the seedlings accidently snapped a little bit but I hope it was not fatal enough and maybe it will survive, only the time will show, anyway I have another one in coco so I can always transfer it in to RDWC if needed. EC is only 115 for today becose of the little bit of ATHENA BALANCE I dropped in the water, so far the roots are not touching the water so i can add the fertilizers tomorrow while I'm fresh. DAY 11 Water Temperature 18C Room temperature 28C EC 120 pH 7 PPFD 200 RH 70% They look nice and healthy still not enough signs of roots for picture but so far the seedlings look fresh. One more day in the Formulex+tap water and they will go in the Athena by day 13. DAY 12 Water temperature 18C Room temperature 27C pH 7 PPFD 220 RH 70 AC 240 Everything is going g quick and perfect. So far this run is going smooth as never. I never had root development that quick as this with this seeds. I'm almost in love with them. After a quick summary with my previous runs I decided to double the AC before tomorrow when I'll change the water and I'll replace it with 6.0 pH RO water and the full athena program for the RDWC. So far so good let's see what the Athena nutrients will show after one week. DAY 13 RH 70 Room temperature 27-28 EC 290 pH 6.1 Water Temperature 20C PPFD 300 Light cicle 20/4 I couldn't resist to flip the fertilizer to athena. After all as soon as I teach em what its better. Full water change of the tank and new suplements. Formulex is amazing suplement for the first two weeks maybe it can carry most people to whole VEG if it's in soil or coco, but I want the real food in RDWC. So far all the plants have amazing small roots so that means the system work well. Let's see the progress tomorrow, but I beleave in the middle of the week this plants will be already in official VEG period. DAY 14 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I needed a little bit more light. I don't know how to explain it but its a grower thing and now my seedlings are looking better than the morning. They were looking a little bit "dizzy" if I can use this terminology. So basically in perfect water temperature, perfect fertilizer level and good aeration, there was nothing left beside the light. As I'm saying you can't feed a lot if you don't have enough light. I added the spider farmer SF 1000 EVO over the water container, becose the big fixture is too far from them, but I can't put them under the Voyager, becose my previous grow is in the final week. So now they are on a separate light 🤣🤣 🤣 370-400 PPFD is a little bit much but I beleave they will manage it. After all the plan of this run is to reach 1000 PPFD in the final days. DAY 15 RH 70 Room temperature 26C EC 290 pH 6.0 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 So far the progress is mainly on roots and some new leafes are coming out. Probably next set of leafes is going to be the first that will mark the veg stage. I have added a little bit of ATHENA clense today and by far notging ha e changed since yesterday. DAY 16 RH 70 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 23C EC 290 pH 6.1 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 As I was expecting most of the job is pre-veg, what I mean is that the results we can see are mostly in root development and ohh boy this is a crazy root spike in just 24 hours. I don't know is it becose of the Athena or just the genetics of the seedling but Im really amazed. In just 11 days from first seedling until today and I'm seeing some crazy root development. I truly beleave that the next set of leaves will be marking the vegetative stage and then we can start the game. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 17 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 I decided to add a little bit more Athena Ca-mag. It feels like that my little ladies are struggling for it. I'll see the results tomorrow. DAY 18 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 Okay two more days and we will be in veg. It's Not like we are not in veg today I just want to keep the update from Sunday to Sunday. DAY 19 RH 55-60 Room temperature day 26C Room temperature night 21-23C EC 320 pH 6.18 Water temperature 19.5-20C PPFD 350-400 Light cicle 20/4 We are in veg tomorrow so today we change nothing. Tomorrow will be great day.

Slight Changes in nutes: Current feeding FloraMicro 4ml gal FloraBloom 8ml gal SM-90 2.5ml gal Cannazym 2.5ml Gal Ful-Potential 2.5ml gal Liquid Koolbloom 2.5ml gal Floralicious Plus 1ml gal ArmorSI 1ml gal CaliMagic 2.5ml gal FloraNectar 5ml gal Drip Clean 0.4ml gal 9/6/17 A couple VERY LARGE buds tipped over and i didn't notice immediately. I found them and i think i staked them back to health in time, no noticeable damage, more blindsided while realizing the volume and coming to grips with the next step. the reality of the bounty of my garden is dawning on me, and i am a bit intimidated. by the dry, as i am in low RH. by the cure, as i have never done one before. by killing my girls, as they are lovely to ease my anxiety, i ordered 20 hydrometers and increased my jar count from 36 quart jars by adding a dozen 1/2 gallon jars. it is obvious some of the buds need bigger jars to stay intact during the cure. i skipped the boveda packs for now. they are amazon prime away in an emergency, but i figure my attentiveness will be enough, at least this first grow; plenty of people did it right before me without the boveda packs, and when i can pay less per hydrometer than boveda pack... it becomes an interesting decision. i choose old school... for now (mind subject to change) end game is WAY more intimidating than dropping that seed into that cup of water. no one told me it would be this stressful! i hope i do them well during this next phase and these next few weeks. they certainly appear to have done me well 9/7/17 I have a confession to make. When I thought the plants got stunted by the heat, I considered pulling the plants and starting over. Boy an I glad that I didn't. I didn't know what I didn't know. What stopped me was reading a forum post somewhere and a guy was frustrated with his grow and was thinking of pulling it (i think he only had 1 plant). Someone responded to him with very prolific questions. "And then what? Plant another and make the same mistake again? Why don't you finish her out so on your next grow you know better what not to do?" Bingo. He wasn't even talking to me, but he was speaking directly at my situation (or so I thought). I decided to finish them, even if they were stunted dwarfs (SPOILER ALERT: They aren't, I was wrong, they were anything BUT stunted) I am really glad I found that advice because who knows if I would have went through with it if this gentleman hadn't given me a moment of clarity. So if you are frustrated by your first grow, I would advise to finish the grow no matter what (unless, obviously, its a male or moldy or something that DEMANDS the plant be culled) and learn what to do better for next time. I thought mine were gonna be bonzai plants. Not even considering the money wasted and the time wasted, I would have missed out on what the plants have taught me and a tent full of superstars. Now, as I am approaching the end, I need some advice. Aside from trics, is there any other way to determine approx how long left in the grow? I need to change my nutes to end stage stuff (adding dry koolbloom, phasing out unneeded nutes, and finally the flush. ) I am super worried about getting the timing right. Besides trics, are there any other clear signals that we are rounding the corner to the final stretch? Thanks in advance. Also, I live in a dry environment. A desert, actually. For real. It seems like dry trimming will be very important for me if I do not want it to smell like alfalfa after the cure. Any thoughts on dry trimming? I know it is more work, but the results seem better. My plan, so far, is to hang the entire plant upside down in 1 piece to dry. The only question is, how many of the large fan leaves to leave on. Some leave all, some leave only the small ones in the buds. Any thoughts will help me decide along with my other research. Thanks!

Girls are doing great! Tent is very stinky inside. Started watering with 6 gallons now. So 1 gallon per plant with full strength nutes. They seem to want water about every other day. Temps have gone up a little. I had to install a dehumidifier. Also added a large metal 20" fan to counteract the heat from dehumidifier. Averaging around 88 f and 50%RH. About the best I can do without getting an A/C unit. I'm pulling out dead leaves under the bottoms. Still tucking in fan leaves daily to expose buds to maximum light. The buds are getting very sticky and frosty. Had to break out the box of rubber gloves. Or else have sticky fingers with a lingering odor of fantastic. This grow has been fun and looks like a decent possible yield for a noobie. These pics are day 28 and 29 of flowering.

Interessant zu beobachten wie die Lila Pigemtierung innerhalb einiger Tage die Pflanze färbt, das UVB macht auf jedenfall seine Arbeit, sehr schön und verdichtet nochmal ordentlich die unter liegenden Blüten… 2/4 wurden geerntet, denken in 7 Tagen kommt die nächste Ernte

Hoping by the end of this week to see a decent bit of vegative growth. I also had a boost in growth after sprouting but has slowed down decently. Plants leaves started drooping down and one edge of leaf turned a lighter green, leaves also look wrinkled, but don’t feel dry. I was advised it was nothing to be concerned of but I want other opinions. Also started a little LST today 2/15/24

Back again with are f1 crosses of mephisto's wedding and my gsc . They're 46 days old today they look decent but I wouldn't say good. A light has fallen on the left one this week and broke a top. Thankfully no other damage but the same light also broke the top on a another plant. They got there last top dressing on Dec 20th. The pot with two plants in it are showing signs of cal mag deficiency just not enough for two it happens this was a test to see how stable these f1 are And from what I'm seeing somfar they are very similar. The end smoke test and smell along with bud structure will tell me how I want to move forward with this project.

End of Week 16 (9th week of flower) Final week of flower. Turned the lights wattage down at the end of this week to 400W to mimmic the sun moving further away from the earth during Autumn and Winter seasons. This also creates an overall cooler temperature signalling to the ladies that the end is in sight. This also protects the trichomes and ensures they don't get damaged and also dropped the The ladies are fading more and more into their vibrant autumn shades. With hues of pink and purple that makes me so excited! Feeding just PH correct water until harvest, which is around the corner. We are currently on day 63 of flower and checked the trichomes - just a few specs of amber and the cloudy trichomes are more prominent although there are still some clear ones. We will push to harvest within the next couple of days, around day 67-69 Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

This was their last week! They had 4 full water feeds till runoff, and the trichomes we’re looking just right by Thursday (day 67). Throughout the week I had been increasing the light intensity and ended up running at 95% of what the SF4000 can do. I have stopped doing the 48 hours of darkness awhile back, so Harvest to come! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️😎

Purple Lemonade , Gelato 1&2, LAK 2&3 are all just about done theyll be coming down over the weekend or early next week. T26, Pineapple Express, Mexican Airlines, LAK 1, 6 Shooter Blue Dreamatic and Cream Cookies are all on the flush but will need a few more before chop. This tent reeks up the whole block it's pretty intense skunk in the driveway right now. There will be one more update I'm guessing for most of these before the harvest update. This was the most successful autoflower crop I've had in a long time I think theres some really good quality buds on some of these. I'll put the video up now and as I go thru the pics theyll be uploaded so if your interested come back tmm for the pics.

Man I just can't seem to catch a brake with this strain. Both plants are looking a bit wilted but there still growing strong. I moved my SF-4000 light up a bit to see if it would help. I was really hoping g to have all the issues sorted before flower but that wasn't the case. They were looking good them wham wilted... oh well I'll just keep a really close eye on them. Temperature and humidity have been stable for the most part. Was having g issues with my dehumidifier tho for a few days. I believe it was over heating a bit and was auto shutting off. So the my humidity would spike up to 75-80% but luckily it was during lights off and I was home when it happened. After moving a few things around and turning it off for a hour it seems to have corrected itself. Good caz I don't really want to have to buy a new one yet lol. For my nutrients I'm slowly bring it up. By the end of week 2 I should have it closer to 1000 ppm. I also stopped using airstones in my tank because I was having a few issues. Now I'm just using a water pump on a timer. Turns off when lights turn on and the back on a hour before the turn off. I've got most of my fans now running at 100%. Only ones that are still only running at 50% are my two lower section fans. With them set to that I find the temperature and humidity at all 4 corners of the room are close enough that I should have zero issues. Well that's all for now so keep growing everyone!!!
