7/4 SUN was poking out a little bit. Plants loved that little feeding and seen to he noticeable larger this morning. I'm considering starting the nutes. At least the organic ones as well as upping the water intake I've been scared to water with all this rain and my experience last time. I plan on applying BT this afternoon and doing some work on the bottoms of the plants. I also saw a chipmunk in my cage so I have some spots in my fence that need to be patched. I know I can't compare this year to orher years as these are seeds and all the other years were clones. I CAN say for certain that my plants are healthiest they've been out of any of my journals. Previous plants were much larger but I was fighting numerous fungal, pathogens and pests at the sane time. Ear wigs would've lollipopped most buddies by now but I've seen no sign of them. I'm going to apply more poison where they were and add some rat traps inside the cage for the chipmunks. Once I fix the cage I think I'll be good. UPDATE: Went back over and fixed the holes on my cage from high winds. I found an old wire trap or cage and just cut sections and ziptied them to the existing wire and to the structure thus covering any open holes. I'll need to put lathes aroubdvtge outside because if a rodent REALLY wanted in they could get in. My belt had been wearing thin but I use shit until it breaks (yesterday the heal came off my shoe lol) so I was working hard sweating my nuts off and my belt gives out totally. At least ive got the major stuff done. I took a few videos too. I'm imagining it was this little bit of sun that gave these plants that boost of growth but I'm wondering if the added nutes had anything to do with it. Bags weren't light and I could feel moisture in the soil so I didn't water. I'll check again tomorrow morning. Since I didn't see many plants or even leaves for that matter with damage I decided to hold off ob the BT and the plant doctor. Only time will tell if that was the right decision. 7/5 Plants look fantastic. I see a few more holes in leaves sporadically amd I'm hoping it's pillars. I've seen lots of lightning bugs on my camera though and grasshoppers are abundant. Not one growth shoot has been chewed (knock on wood) which is what the earwigs had always done. I watched a video from last year and by nowcthey had lollipopped all lower leaves. It may not be the best weather growing season wise but despite the rh consistently in the 90's I still don't have pm or fungal pathogens. Need to get the BT out. Didn't water as we've had all that rain. I'll water either tonight or tomorrow morning. Sunny high in the 90s low is 66. Tomorrow looks good too. UPDATE WENT BACK OVER AROUND FIVE. IT WAS 88 DEGREES SO I WANTED TO CHECK THE GROW BAGS. THE POTS ARE FINE. IT WAS HUMID AS HELL. ONE PLANT WAS SLIGHTLY DROOPY BUT VERY LIGHT AND DRY. I FOUND TWO OTHERS THAT SEEMED LIGHTER THAN THE REST BUT HADNT DROOPED. I MIXED TWO GALLONS OF WATER WITH 1TSP KANGOROOTS AMD PHED IT CLOSE TO 6. I FED THE 3 PLANTS THAT WERE SUPER DRY LIKE A HALF GALLON AND SPRED THE REST OVER THE OTHER EIGHT PLANTS. THEY WERENT DROOPING BUT THEY WERE VERY DRY. I PLAN ON A FULL WATER TOMORROW. I WOULDVE DONE IT TODAY IF THE TEMPS WERENT SO HIGH. ITS RAINED A MONTH STRAIGHT SO I HAVENT HAD TO WATER. I MADE A COUPLE VIDEOS BUT I'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD TOMORROW. 7/6 Another super hot day. I hefted the pots and they still had some weight but I could tell they were dry. This rain has messed up my watering schedule. Well it made it so I didn't NEED to water. These are big plants now. I need to get a schedule to stick too. They're going to probably need a gallon a piece at least. I'm still nervous watering. Right now I'm just reading the plants. I added .5tsp kelp me/you to 1 gallon of water to help with heat stress. I fed an additional two gallons to the garden this morning including the two container plants in the back. They were dry on top too but I know they have water deeper down. Next watering I'll be more consistent and try to give them there 10%. It's great having the bags elevated. I can finally see when I start getting run off. I could even measure the ph of it instead of relying on that meter. Ill check the ph when I go back over. Still a few 🐛 holes but they are few and far between. I really don't want to spray for such a small problem but if I cant find them at night that's what I'll do. UPDATE: Another 90 degree day. I went back over and gave the garden a gallon of water as they were dry and it didn't rain. Tried to use a soil ph meter to check ph. First couple were 6.4, 6.5 then I got 7.3 and I accidently dropped it. Then I got somethings that were high eights and even one 9! Obviously the Meter shit the bed. I'll lower the ph of the water slightly when I fully water tomorrow and I'm going to measure the runoff. 7/8 I must've messed up the journal again as the dates are off. GAVE PLANTS A FULL WATERING. Each girl got a gallon. I couldn't upload my videos this morning as I had to break up a fight. 3 on 1. Didn't give me a chance to put the videos up. I'll take some stills then I can upload them. I took stills and they all uploaded but didn't fucking save. I'm nit going to keep trying to upload if it's not going to. Noticed a few more holes in leaves and one skeletinized leaf so I need to either spray the bt or something more versatile. I'm putting more poison around the cage and de between the bags. I'll go check things out tonight. Sick of writing a book and uploading to just hace them disappear 7/9 Did a quick video today. Noticed the bags were fairly light despite the plants being soaked amd the pallets wet. I was pressed for time. I gave two gallons to the entire garden. I hope that will hold them over until tomorrow. I'll need to up how much water I give them. Going with a gallon and a half next time. I see more pillar spots and a moth took off when I shook the plants this morning. So I'm gonna have too apply the BT. I figure if I go over before dark tonight I might be able to see aju nocturnal insects around. Luckily my dad feeds the birds and they are always there. I think they help with pests. UPDATE IT WAS A LITTLE COOLER TODAY BUT MICH MORE HUMID. I WENT AROUND SIX TO MAKE SURE THE GIRLS WERE OK WITH WATER AND TO GIVE THEM A TREATMENT OF BT. I WENT THROUGH THE GARDEN ANDCGOUND THREE LEQVES TO DEFOLIATE AND LITERALLY A COUPLE LEAVES ON TWO PLANTS WITH PILLAR HILESM WHEN I ARRIVED TWO BIRDS FLEW OUT. A HORNET CAME IN WHILE I WAS THERE. THIS DO LESS APPROACH SEEMS TO BE REALLY WORKING. I DODNT SEE NEARLT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO WARRANT SPRAY8NG MY EXTREMELY HEALTHY GIROS WITH ANYTHING. ILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM AND CLEAN THEM UP A BIT. I DO NEED TO INSTALL THE VERY8CAL TRELLIS FOR SUPPORT. THEYRE PRETTY HEALTHY THOUGH. ONE PLANT IS ABOUT AS WIDE AS IT IS TALL. STILL......PLANTS ARE EXPLODING AND ITS GETTING TIGHT IN THERE. I NEED TO GET THE TRELLIS UP THOUGH. 7/10 I went over and was planning to water. Plants were wet and it's raining. Top of the medium was moist but the bags were light. ONE bag was super light but seeing that we are having showers all day and an additional half inch of rain coming tonight so I didn't water them. Especially since they looked great. Decided to to spray BT yet as the damage is so small and i think the birds have been taking care of the pillars for me. Now I'm wondering if I should've gave that ONE plant a little bit of water but it will be find. Did a video. I'm being careful not to over water. Last year this is when all my buddies were devoured by earwigs. And no senescence like the years before. I think it was hust those earwigs. I haven't lost shot for leaves. Even the stalks are bright green and look amazing.

Comenzamos la 2° semana con un riego de enrraizador Deeper Underground (Top Crop) añadiendo 1ml/l en el agua con pH6 donde la dejamos reposar durante 1 día con una bomba de agua para eliminar cloro e impurezas. Día 9: La planta ya tiene 4cm y sigue creciendo sin problemas y ninguna señal negativa. Tanto la temperatura como la humedad la seguimos teniendo en valores óptimos. Día 12: Hoy tocó riego con agua limpia, sin nurientes con pH6, 200PPM y 30°C.

Hello Diary, The third week of vegetation has ended and the plants are entering the flowering phase. The flowers have started to form, which is nice to see in the photos, all in all I am satisfied with how they are developing. They grew a little more than 10 cm and got a lot of new leaves, so now they are really bushy. I'm thinking of doing a little defoliation next week, I'll see how it goes. The humidifier is still on to keep the humidity around 60% while the temperature is around 22 degrees. They still don't ask for much water so I only had one watering this week when I gave them about 2 liters of water each. This time I added Bigger Flowers and Thicker Flowers at the recommended dosage for the third week of vegetation. Here's what it looked like last week. 12/02/2023. - Day 19. Watering. I prepared 4 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 with Plagron's Lemon Kick and added Bigger Flowers 0.5/1 lit and Thicker Flowers 0.1/1 lit and with that amount I watered both plants evenly. 14/02/2023. - Day 21. Photographing and height measurement. End of the third week of vegetation. Medusa F1 #1 - 32cm Medusa F1 #2 - 28 cm That's all for this week, see you soon.

The stretch has finally stopped, thank goodness, and they are starting to put on a little density. I lollipopped them thinking they would would reach a little more than double where they started, about 26 inches, but they blew right past that and are sitting at 31 inches for the tallest branches. Going to end up with a little fluff, but that's OK, i'll make some strong olive oil out of it. The light is about 9 inches from the tallest branches, but they are all to the outside edge and will be fine. Main buds in the center are at about 13 inches and even the lower buds are a max of 18 which is still a great position. As long as I can keep the light penetrating to the lower buds they should turn out fine. I started at ROCK resinator this week and am pulling back on Canna Part A; after week 6 I will stop it completely and just use the CalMag, Part B, Boost and ROCK. Week 7 and 8 and I will Mendicino Avalanche again, I have always had good results with that. No signs of color yet on the RHC but breeder notes say it comes the last weeks of flower. Its going to start getting colder during the day so I am hoping night time temps in the high 60s and daytime temps staying below 75 will bring out some color regardless. I put a plant outside as a throw away to see what happens and wouldn't ya know it, that fucker is turning purple lol. Hoping they start to bulk up in the coming week.

The Durban Poison crew is looking robust as we hit week 19 of the grow! The plants continue to thrive in their vegetative stage, filling out their space under the netting with healthy, vibrant growth. Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Consistent IPM remains a priority to keep the garden healthy. By utilizing companion plants like African marigolds and strawberries strategically placed around the grow bags, we are successfully deterring pests naturally. The Marigolds: This year, the yellow marigold has truly stood out, growing even taller than the surrounding orange varieties, making it the tallest in the collection. The Plants: The crew is holding steady. Plant 1 and Plant 6 are showing great development, benefiting from the ongoing low-stress training and the support of the custom netting setup. It has been a productive season so far, and I’m looking forward to the next phase of development as we continue to nurture these plants to their full potential.

📆 Semana 6 ¡Qué semanita se ha marcado la Grease Monkey! Ya se nota que está bien metida en floración: los cogollos empiezan a coger buena forma, cada vez más apretados y resinosos. Tiene ese rollo pegajoso que tanto nos gusta, y las hojas cercanas a las flores ya brillan con tricomas por todos lados. Estoy siguiendo con la gama de XpertNutrients, que le está sentando de lujo. No he tocado mucho la receta esta semana, solo afinando un poco el riego para adaptarme al ritmo que lleva. Se nota que está en su punto dulce. Los Adlite siguen demostrando que son una inversión top. Gracias a la buena distribución de luz, incluso las ramas secundarias están desarrollando cogollos decentes, no solo las puntas. En cuanto al ambiente, las temperaturas se han mantenido suaves, entre 22 y 25 °C, y la humedad está en torno al 55%, un poco más alta de lo ideal, pero por ahora sin señales de problemas. Estoy ventilando bien y con el ojo encima por si acaso. El aroma empieza a ser un espectáculo: dulce y cremoso, con ese fondo a gas tan típico de la Grease Monkey. Los tricomas están en su mayoría lechosos, así que aún queda tiempo para que siga engordando y afinando perfil. Crecimiento firme, flores con presencia y resina a punta pala… ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Well I got my Mars TS1000 and 2x2 tent and I'm replacing the TS1000 with HLG 135w QBB288 V2 rspec! I like the TS1000 but I wanted something to handle flower better and I've ready so many solid reviews for HLG products, plus they are local to me in Canada. I also decided I need some more room so I'm swapping my tent from a 2x2x4 to a 2x2x4.7 for a bit of extra height. The plant seems to be loving the new space, my new baby (RQS Royal Cheese freebie) is growing a lot faster under this light, new diary coming up!

Hello This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering. The day after reporting 2 weeks ago, I couldn't log in and the site was not working right. I got about 30 pictures on the home page then nothing after that. All the other pages I could bring up but there was no content. But all the, adds, worked... It went on for 5 days. I got discouraged and didn't report last week. I think what happened was somehow the operating system I'm on, got blocked from getting the whole web site. I've read on the questions page that some systems worked fine all that time. Got in here and did some LST and sucker branch and some fanleaf removal for better light penetration and air circulation. Things are going well. Saw some thrips damage, so I bought some canopy mites to keep their numbers down. You can see the little jars with bran in them. The canopy mites eat the bran mites while being transported in the packages. Still hoping to harvest around Aug 15 or so. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

We will see how the process of it ... I just realized from comments that this brand buys seeds wholesale and sells them as seeds of this brand ... they are shit ... it should be from a seed bank. .. Hopefully everything goes well...

6/26 the main cola still fights the LST I have applied(reminds me of gelato auto) but I havent given up. I pushed the main cola back down to rest flat until a different day. Fed her some slf-100 and recharge today 6/29 Shes a little roughed up after these last 3 days. She has heat damage to quite a lot of her. So I defoliated the damaged leaves and she perked right up after water. I am slightly concerned about the forming pistils though. They did not respond well to the heat these past 3 days. We had weather at 112 one day 115 the next and then 118 yesterday. The plants cant handle that

12/5 did some LST yesterday the first time I tried it she’s responding well I’m going to continue nutrients at half strength and that’s all for now 12/6 there are more bud sights on this than I’ve ever seen on any auto flower. I’m already seeing a lot of crystals in the leaves she’s responding well to the LST and I gave her a 1 mL per liter feeding of nutrients with 2 L of water I’m trying to be very careful. I have been using SF1000D lights I bought them a few years ago,they’re not bad they do get hot, especially when I’ve tried to put two of them in one tent it is very difficult to keep cool. Viparspectra I’ll keep it running at 80% and that should be good enough for one autoflower, I got the XS1500. I want to see if there’s any difference in the newer LEDs compared to my older Spider Farmer lights . I found a discount code in one of the discussions here in the site somewhere, and it actually worked it came to about 145 total. It’ll be here tomorrow. 12/7 💎💎💎 I love this seed company. This plant that I topped between three and four and did LST two days ago on is showing me bud sites that are fuller and more full of crystals that I’ve ever seen. this is my 10th Autoflower, my first one from this company and it’s completely different, way better, it’s just phenomenal. I like a clean and symmetrical and even grow. Doing this will make it much easier to process. I’ve never seen a plant grow like this. This is my first time trying LST and I’m glad I did it. It completely changes the plants you can definitely see there will be much more. 12/7 she looks great. because I spread the branches out the way I did, and only have one light on the leaf surface temperatures and the bud surface temperatures are all between 72 and 74° which is perfect. 12/8 Resin production is incredible. it looks like millions of tiny angels jizzed all over my plant it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 12/8 I got the new Viparspectra light today. It has about 100 more LEDs in the SF 1000 D I’ll take some magnified pictures of the LEDs. The new one is much heavier I like the dimmer that way I don’t have to put in secondary lights for seedlings. It’s not a bad light I like being able to dim the light I ran it at 100% and the temperature was a little hot for me and I’m keeping it kind of close to the plant so I’ll probably lower it down to 75% and that should be good I think. Also I noticed that this one Viparspectra light looks to me brighter than 2 sf100d lights. 12/9 I turned the Viper spectra light down to a little bit less than 75% to bring it down to 100 W. When I did that the temperature stays around 95° on the board and about 98° on the driver, so it is far cooler and more efficient at the same wattage than the older spider farmer lights which were at 110 to 118°( about the same as the XS1500 at full power). So a single 150w xs1500 is about the same as 2 SF1000D lights as far as heat I'm sure the PPF or whatthehelleverthatis is higher ,very nice, If the SF1000D's would have had dimmers they would have been perfect. 12/10 awesome 🤩 12/11 I am seeing lots of resin production more than I’ve ever seen. I think this is so far been my best most successful grow this plant is great. I’m glad I found the seed company. The other ones I used before were pretty bad, I don't LOVE them at all. Also my Yamaha A4A 1600 receiver is total junk, I mean total... I'll never have the money to spend on something like that again, I was totally ripped off. Unrelated but so many formerly trustworthy companies are just TOTAL garbage
