Ladies, gentlemen, and all the wonderful beings following this journey, I am thrilled to announce that we have reached the highly anticipated harvest week for our beautiful PCRs. This has been an incredible journey, and now it's time to reap the rewards of our hard work and dedication. The PCRs are nothing short of perfection. Their frost-covered buds are a sight to behold, glistening like they've been kissed by winter's breath. The trichomes are abundant and sparkling, making these ladies look absolutely stunning. The aroma is intoxicating, a true testament to their strong genetics and the care they've received. Upon taking them out of the tent, I was amazed by their strength and resilience. Despite my best efforts to make them dance, these ladies stood tall and proud, requiring no support at all. This just goes to show the exceptional quality and sturdiness of the PCR strain. Aptus Holland's Enzym+. This product is a game-changer, breaking down dead root material and turning it into usable nutrients, ensuring our soil remains rich and fertile for future grows. Speaking of which, I do plan to reuse the soil, thanks to the amazing benefits of Enzym+. This enzyme product not only helps with nutrient uptake but also keeps the soil ecosystem healthy and thriving. Here's the final stats for this week: TDS: 130 PH: 6.8 Temp: 21ยฐC A huge shout-out to Aptus Holland for their incredible products that have consistently supported my plants' growth and health. Also, a massive thank you to Art Genetix for creating the phenomenal PCR strain that has brought so much joy to this grow. To all my fellow growers, followers, and the entire community, your support and encouragement mean the world to me. This journey wouldn't be the same without you. As we move forward, let's continue to spread love, positivity, and the joy of cultivating these amazing plants. Stay tuned for the final results and more updates as we dry and cure these beautiful buds. Until then, keep growing, stay positive, and never stop believing in the magic of cultivation.

Strawberry Cadillac โ€“ STRNG Seeds W14 F5 2/8-14 TPS1 13ml/g Silica Gold 3ml/g 2/8 PPM 935, 69.6F, 6.46ph 2/11 PPM 957, 65.4F 6.60ph 2/14 I will water again. The buds are stacking and filling out nicely. The buds on Cadillac1 are stacked tall and thin. Some of the buds on the super cropped limbs are too heavy and flop over. S Cadillac 2 buds are flat and wide. I focused many pictures on one bud that I thought was particularly pretty. When I harvest, Iโ€™m going to measure the length of the limb spread and determine how tall this strain would have been if not super cropped. In the future, I will not buy seeds that the height range is not listed, 4 of the 6 plants are 4 inches from the light. Other than this oversized and crowed jungle, all is going well. Happy Valentines Day to all my friends. Stay green, growers love ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ’ซNatrona

The girls were harvested at 94 days. I didn't weigh it, but I believe they yielded around 60 to 70g for both. I am very satisfied and happy to have achieved a very good result, being my first time growing. A cycle closes and a new will come soon with new soil assembly, new genetics and more experience. Thanks to Shiva for tending and blessing the crop, and to all friends here who have sent messages of support and encouragement. I gained another family. Happy 2023 to all, may it be a year of much evolution and beautiful flowers. Om Shanti

they're finally starting to take off! Will probably do one more week of veg get them to at least 18 inches tall before flowering. They've been doing great considering all the mistakes and stress I put them through never showed signs of deficiencies or stress just the weird yellow patter that's has stuck around on #2 hoping its just another mutation

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 10 | Quietly Shining in Her Own Way ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Sometimes a plant doesn't need to make a lot of noise to get your attention. Sometimes she doesn't demand. She doesn't stretch dramatically. She doesn't create another problem for the grower to solve. She simply... keeps moving. And that's exactly where Black Diamond Pheno B is right now. She's not moving as fast as her sister. She's definitely more leafy. She's a little more relaxed in the way she approaches flowering. But she's still beautiful. She's still developing. She's still shining. And honestly? I really like that about her. Because in a room full of different personalities, not everybody needs to be the loudest one. Pheno B has her own way of doing things. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐Ÿ’Ž The Quiet Sister Keeps Shining If you've been following this adventure, you already know that Black Diamond Pheno A and Pheno B have become one of my favourite comparisons in the entire room. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting. Same general nutrition. Same irrigation philosophy. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. Pheno A has been giving us the "LOOK AT ME!" version of Black Diamond. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž Pheno B? She's more like: "I'm right here. You'll notice me eventually." And you absolutely do. Because although she's moving at a calmer pace, she's developing beautifully. She's not asking for much attention. She's asking for what every plant asks for: Water. Nutrition. A good environment. And time. We're providing all of that. And she's doing the rest. ๐ŸŒฟ More Leafy, More Relaxed One of the clearest differences this week is the amount of foliage she's carrying. Compared with her sister, Pheno B is definitely the more leafy expression. She's maintaining a fuller, greener appearance, and her structure has that slightly more relaxed character we've been seeing throughout the run. And I like it. I don't want every phenotype to look identical. Actually, that would completely defeat the purpose of this adventure. We're giving these girls the same opportunity and letting genetics show us what they want to do. Pheno B has decided that she wants to keep a little more foliage around herself while she continues developing her flowers. Fine by me. She's healthy. She's moving. She's shining. So why would I try to make her something else? ๐ŸŒธ The Flowers Are Still Moving The fact that she's progressing more slowly than her sister doesn't mean she's standing still. Far from it. The flowers continue developing. The structures are becoming increasingly established. The pistils remain prominent. And the overall flowering picture continues to move forward. She's simply taking her time. And honestly... that's something I appreciate more and more as this project continues. There isn't a single correct speed. There isn't a single correct structure. There isn't a single correct expression. There are twelve plants in this room, and every one of them is writing a slightly different story. Pheno B's story is a little quieter. But it's still a very beautiful one. โ„๏ธ The Frost Is Still There And let's not forget the resin. Because even though this girl isn't trying to steal the spotlight with explosive growth, she's still giving the camera plenty to look at. The flowers continue developing their frosty appearance. The trichomes are becoming increasingly noticeable. And those close-up photographs really show the contrast between her green foliage and the developing resin-covered flowers. She's not finished. We're still watching the flowers mature. But she's clearly heading in the right direction. And every week, there's another little detail that catches my eye. That's what makes photographing these girls so addictive. You think you've seen everything... then you get closer. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐Ÿ’š She Doesn't Ask for Much This might actually be my favourite thing about Pheno B this week. She's easy. Not because she's doing nothing. Because she's simply not demanding much beyond the basics. Give her water. Give her nutrition. Keep the environment consistent. And let her work. That's it. She's not asking me to constantly intervene. She's not trying to run away from the canopy. She's not creating some new emergency every other day. She's just... growing. And sometimes that's exactly what a grower wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Especially when you have other girls in the room making sure you never get bored. ๐Ÿ‘ญ Very Different Sisters The comparison between the two Black Diamond phenotypes is becoming even more interesting now. Pheno A: ๐Ÿ’Ž Bigger presence ๐Ÿ”ฅ More aggressive development ๐ŸŒธ Heavy flower production โ„๏ธ Rapidly increasing frost ๐Ÿ‘‘ Constantly demanding the spotlight Pheno B: ๐ŸŒฟ More leafy ๐Ÿ’š More relaxed ๐ŸŒธ Developing at her own pace โ„๏ธ Still becoming increasingly frosty ๐Ÿ˜Œ Asking for very little attention And yet... both are beautiful. That's the important part. I'm not looking at Pheno B and thinking: "Why aren't you doing what your sister is doing?" I'm looking at her and thinking: "Show me what YOU become." That's the experiment. ๐ŸŒฑ Same Room. Different Expression. This is something I want to keep repeating because it's really the heart of the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. For anyone discovering this diary for the first time: We're running twelve different plants together in the same room under the same general conditions. The plants share the same environmental strategy. They share the same lighting ecosystem. They follow the same general nutritional approach. They receive the same grower's attention. And yet... they don't behave the same. That's genetics. And when two plants from the same genetic line behave differently? That's even more fascinating. Black Diamond Pheno A and Pheno B are giving us a beautiful example of exactly that. Same name. Same genetic origin. Different personalities. ๐Ÿ’ก The Lighting Ecosystem Continues The lighting setup remains another interesting part of this experiment. The main Future of Grow LED lighting provides the primary overhead illumination, while the additional lighting within the canopy continues adding another layer to the environment. And Pheno B's more leafy structure makes her particularly interesting to watch. More foliage means a different canopy structure. Different architecture means different ways for light to interact with the plant. I'm not going to pretend that every difference we see can be attributed to one specific variable. That's not the point. The point is to observe. And when the environment stays consistent while the plants continue expressing themselves differently... that's where things become really interesting. ๐Ÿ’ง Give Her What She Wants There isn't much drama in the feeding department this week. And that's a good thing. Pheno B continues receiving the same general flowering nutrition strategy as the room. ๐ŸŒธ Terra Bloom โ€” 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โœจ Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment products โ€” as required The recorded solution remains around pH 6.0, with an EC of approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering remains around 1.3 L per plant / 24h. She's not asking for anything special. She's simply receiving what she needs... and getting on with the job. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Current Conditions The current recorded conditions for Week 10 are: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 10 ๐Ÿ“ Height: 160 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The room remains remarkably consistent. And once again, that consistency makes the differences between the plants even more interesting. The room provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. ๐Ÿ“ธ A Beautiful Plant Doesn't Need to Be the Fastest Looking through this week's photographs, I think Pheno B makes an important point. You don't have to be the fastest plant in the room to be impressive. You don't have to be the biggest. You don't have to demand attention. You don't have to constantly change. Sometimes you just need to keep progressing. And she is. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is healthy. The flowers continue developing. The resin is appearing. The plant is moving toward maturity. She's doing exactly what she needs to do. And that deserves recognition. ๐Ÿ’Ž The Other Black Diamond I think that's probably the best way to describe her now. Not the smaller Black Diamond. Not the slower Black Diamond. Not the less impressive Black Diamond. Just... the other Black Diamond. Her sister has her personality. She has hers. And honestly, I wouldn't change that. Because if these two were identical, we'd lose one of the most fascinating comparisons in the entire run. Instead, we have two different expressions of the same genetics growing side by side. And every week the contrast becomes clearer. ๐ŸŒฟ Let Her Take Her Time I'm not going to push this girl to become something she's not. She's moving. She's developing. She's shining. That's enough. If she wants to take a little longer to build her flowers, we'll watch. If she wants to keep more foliage, we'll observe. If she wants to remain the quieter sister, that's perfectly fine. The plant doesn't need to impress me every single day. Although... she does anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead As we move further into this flowering stage, I'm going to keep watching: ๐ŸŒธ Flower development โ„๏ธ Resin progression ๐ŸŒฟ Overall foliage health ๐Ÿ’Ž Flower density ๐ŸŽจ Any further colour development โš–๏ธ Structural stability ๐Ÿ”ฌ Overall maturation And, of course... I'm going to keep watching her sister too. Because the comparison between these two is becoming more interesting every week. Will Pheno B continue developing at her own slower rhythm? Will the difference in flower development become more pronounced? Will her more leafy structure remain part of her final expression? We'll find out. No rush. No forcing. Just observation. ๐Ÿ’Ž She Deserves the Spotlight Too Pheno A may be trying very hard to steal the spotlight. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ But Pheno B deserves a little time under it too. Because she's beautiful. She's tall. She's leafy. She's green. She's developing flowers. She's building frost. She's moving forward. And she's doing all of it without demanding much from me. That's a pretty good combination. So this week, I'm giving the spotlight to the quieter sister. Not because she's trying to take it. But because sometimes the plants that don't shout the loudest deserve to be noticed too. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐Ÿ’Ž Final Thoughts Week 10 brings us another beautiful chapter in the Black Diamond story. Pheno B continues to show just how different two phenotypes from the same genetic line can become. She's not moving as quickly as Pheno A. She's more leafy. She's more relaxed. She's less demanding. But she's absolutely not falling behind in the sense that matters most: she's developing. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's becoming frostier. She's getting closer to maturity. And she's doing it in her own way. That's what I love about this adventure. We don't need every plant to be the same. We don't even need every plant to be spectacular in the same way. We just need to give them the opportunity to express themselves. And Black Diamond Pheno B is doing exactly that. She's not screaming: "LOOK AT ME!" She's quietly saying: "I'm still here." And yes, girl... we see you. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’š Let's make her shine. ๐Ÿ™ Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful example of why the 8ร—8 Adventure continues to be so fascinating. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. One general growing philosophy. And twelve completely different personalities. A huge thank you to: ๐Ÿ’š GrowDiaries โ€” for providing the platform where growers can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. ๐ŸŒฑ Zamnesia โ€” for providing the genetics behind this fascinating Black Diamond line. ๐Ÿ’œ Plagron โ€” for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. ๐Ÿ’ก Future of Grow LED โ€” for powering the main lighting environment. ๐ŸŒฟ TrolMaster โ€” for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. โœจ LumiFlora โ€” for bringing the additional canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another fascinating variable to observe. And thank you to everyone following along week after week. Thank you for the comments. Thank you for the questions. Thank you for sharing the adventure. And thank you for taking the time to look at these girls as they develop. Pheno A may be the loud sister. Pheno B may be the quieter one. But both are beautiful. Both are fascinating. And both are showing us something different. This girl doesn't need to demand attention. She just needs a little time. Water. Nutrition. A stable environment. And the freedom to be herself. She's moving. She's shining. She's developing. And she's quietly making her own case for the spotlight. So let's give it to her. Black Diamond Pheno B โ€” Week 10. Still growing. Still flowering. Still shining. Still completely herself. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’Ž

Looks like the stretch has officially come to an end and with it, the first signs of trichome production have started to show up!โœจ Unfortunately, the plant stayed pretty small despite being in a 20L pot, which is a bit of a bummer. I was hoping for more size, but hey letโ€™s see what she can deliver in quality! Sometimes the small ones pack the biggest punch. ๐Ÿ˜ Excited to see how the buds develop from here!๐Ÿ˜Š

I seem to be improving every time -based on the quantities obtained (70g of buds +15g of leaves) ๐Ÿ˜ - this time a marvel of smells and flavors came out ๐Ÿ˜ the apical top is decidedly fatter than GG1 (this time I avoided messing with the pH) as well as all the other buds ๐Ÿ˜ I don't have much experience with the various strains for now, but I definitely love this one

This week, spent a little more time on the garden, Transplant, microbes on the soil, new 20 litres pot, and every day bending, to mantain an homogeneous canopy ... Fed some Green Explosion again because i want a little more branching , but im switching next week to Flowering nutes, but imma keep Veg nutes because autos seem to keep growing more when switchin ... But heyy im new with autos hahaha lets see what happens.... The plant is soo healthy at the moment :) --------------------- Micro Vita : Applied 6.60 grams for the 20 litres of soil, recommended is between 2-5g per 10l .... TopVeg: 2,5 ml when applied alone and 2 ml/l when used with Deep Underground or Green Explosion. Green Explosion: 0,5-1ml/l, always with TopVeg because of PH balance Deep Underground : From 1ml/L first weeks, and until now, 2ml/l. Irrigations : Everyday in the morning, alternating 1/2 with water and the other with nutes, but if the plan is dark dark green im irrigatin only water so id would be 1/3 in that case. #####Top Veg always balances the PH so im never using boosters without it (they have high ph like 8 - 10 ) --------------------- Take care GD !!! Good vibez...

Updates: -4 weeks of flower complete. -La Niรฑa branches are filing in nicely. -Gorilla candy continues to underwhelm. Runt phenos,lots of long skinny branches. Looks good and smells good though. -Misnamed the gorilla candy pheno that looked different from the 2 runt phenos. The 3rd one is actually a Gorilla White widow from expert seeds. Explosive veg, big stretch, nice buds, could use more frost early on. -Looking forward to the La Niรฑa the most ( haze x black widow) -Started using coast of Maine liquid fertilizer liquid kelp and liquid crab fertilizer. Feel free to add any questions or comments.

Its my first time I grew anything. It went very smooth even with a broken ankle. Strain took any and all abuse extremely well. SCROG, LST, Topping all went really well but i didn't have a great shape or structure in the SCROG. just tucked any open space without much planning. getting around the hard to reach places was super rough and neck/back/knee breaking. I struggled to get the proper wind on the leaves, or at least I could have lessened the wind burn. The clip on fans were good but annoying to place, and unreliable at holding their position because of tent negative pressure, their poor design and the space confinements. I left a lot of genetic potential as it was my first grow and I was not smooth. Overall very very happy with the 210+g at harvest, very happy with the flush results, and very happy with the harvest window I chose (2 weeks past guidelines but 1 week away from end of window (week 10 of flower). I tried smoking the wet bud, it was disgusting and pointless. I tried basically every day the worst quality popcorn buds that had yet to dry, they were moving from disgusting to just flat out terrible, to not the worst, to just bad, and then finally after 2 weeks they didnt taste good but were just low quality bush. After week 1 of the cure the bud was neutral. and after 2 weeks of cure the bud was very smooth. Now into a full month of cure the bud tastes smooth and is nice. As far as smell goes, when I harvested it was pure jet fuel. It reeeeeeeaked like cleaning product, really diesel and extremely pungent. It would tickle inside your noise and feel like punch in the face. Now that its cured properly it lost a lot of that almsot burning pungent feel inside the noise and just smells like good weed aka gas.

End of Week 15 (8th week of flower) I have stopped the CO2 supplementation for this week and onwards as the plants naturally slow down photosynthesis and it is not needed during the last 2 weeks of flower. Also raised the lights by 5cm to make sure the trichomes don't get damaged and also dropped the RH and temperatures even more than last week, and surely the colours are becoming more and more vibrant as the ladies are fading into their autumn shades. Feeding just water since middle last week, all I'm doing is giving the ladies PH correct water until harvest to naturally deplete the soil from nutrients and flush out the soil slowly this will help bring out even more colours as the ladies use up the remaining nutrients stored in their leaves as they reach the end of their life cycle. Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

8/22 Defoliated what needed it.with all the rain I had to remove some yellow leaves. The container plants are affected the most as the wind drys those bags out in like a day. I'll have to check twice a day. Watered a gallon a plant yesterday before going to the hospital, then went back over after and gave everything at least another half gallon. I'm pretty sure everything got their 10%. Yesterday I upped the feeding regimen to 2.5 pints a plant. A little more on the ones that looked like they needed it most. I took some pretty good pictures. I hope that's not septoria on the leaf that I took a picture of in the fire pit. Glad I sprayed that BT. I'll have to keep up with it. I'm also considering an application of plant doctor just in case. I don't SEE anything fungal bur that would suck. Flowers arecexploding in growth. Just got a text from my father telling me how my plants are "budding big time" lol. I have the bamboo I need but there are still a few individual HUGE branches that will soon need more support. Update: Wife felt A LITTLE better so I went to check the girls around 6pm. I found my canary starting to droop. I'm not sure If I gave a full two gallons to everything yesterday. One or two may have only gotten one and a half. I compared the weight with the weight of a 22 gallon bag of dry soil and realized it was definately time to water even though only one plant was drooping they were all dry. It may have been okay to leave it but i've let them dry out far too often already so I made sure EVERY PLANT got it's 10% of water (except containers) and I watered slower. I don't see any negative effects from the B.T. but i'm noticing some older leaves turning yellow on a couple plants as this explosive flowering continues. I"m just going to continue monitoring it. I hope I did the right thing and watered. If it was going to rain tonight I might have held off but they were super light. I also took a video and some pictures but my wife is using my phone to listen to music and calm down so i'll need to upload those pictures and videos tomorrow. I finished my defoliation right before dark. Good night guys. I took a nice 3 minute te video this morning but it won't upload or send to anyone. UPDATE: BAGS HELD THERE WEIGHT!!! YES!! WE'LL GET A TINY BIT OF RAIN IF ANYTHING TONIGHT AND NOTHING TOMMOROW UNTIL THE NIGHT AND RAIN THE NEXT DAY SO ITS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD FOR MY WATERING. ID PREFER TO WATER IN MORNINGS BUT IVE HAD TO KINDA PLAY IT BY EAR. PLANTS LOOK AWESOME. IM SUPER EXCITED. SOME LEAVES ARE DROPPING BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. IT SEEMS LIKE BUDS DOUBLE IN SIZE ALMOST EVERYDAY!!! 8/23 Noticed damage on a lower branch that looks like earwig damage. I put sluggo plus pellets on the ground between the pallets but I don't think that will help much if they're in the soil. If they are there their aren't many. Or it could be some other pest. It's the very bottom branch that should've been pruned already anyway. Didn't water today as we are supposed to get an inch of rain between tonight and tomorrow. My canary was sagging but it was wet? The soil was definately heavier than the 22gallon bag I use to compare. It just dries out so fast in those bags. I'll check them throughout the day. Oh and I forgot that I only have the 3 10th planet's. I kept referring to another as a "different phenome" so i dug down and found the tag and it was a blueberry cheese. Since the light dep went bad almost half the garden is blueberry cheese. The flowers look much more saliva dominant then the tenth planet or the purple punch. The BIG CHEESE in the 50 in the back had really long saliva looking leaves which is much different than some of her sisters. Anyway things are still doing good. I hope the girls csn make it the day without water. I don't want to water a day before we get an inch of rain. It is sunny and 80 though so I'll play it by ear. UPDATE: STOPPED AT THE GROW AROUND ONE. MY CANARY LOOKED DROOPING. I BROUGHT THE VIDEO AND PICTURES TO MY COMMERCIAL BUDDY. I DIDN'T WANT TO WATER BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING A HALF IN OF RAIN TOMM AND ANOTHER HALF IN THAT NIGHT. WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE AND FIGURED TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE AS TWO PLANTS WERE SUBSTANTIALLY LIGHTER THAN THE REST. THE CANARY GOT A GALLON. I USED ABOUT 8 GALLONS OF WATER. THE 50 GOT ABOUT A GALLON AS IT WAS DRY AND DROOPING. PROBABLY SHOULDVE GAVE IT MORE. I USED A SMALL WATER CAN TO WATER THIS TIME. THE BAGS WEREN'T SUPER LIGHT BUT THE BREEZE IS PICKING UP AND NOW IT SAYS NO RAIN UNTIL 6AM. I HOPE THIS WAS THE RIGHT DECISION. THEY PROBABLY WOULD'VE MADE IT. A COUPLE MIGHT'VE TOTALLY DRIED OUT AND DROOPY. I WANT TO AVOID THAT AS I DONT WANT TO STRESS THE PLANTS. THE BUDS ARE REALLY EXPLODING! IM LOVING THIS LIQUID KOOL BLOOM! OH, I FOUND ANOTHER APHID AN AND ANTS ON MY PLANTS. FOUND "WHAT LOOKS LIKE EARWIG DAMAGE" ON SMALL LOWER BRANCHES THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN PRUNED ALREADY. IM PLANNING TO GO AT NIGHT WITH A SPRAY BOTTLE AND ALCOHOL AND SEE IF THAT'S THE DEAL. IF NOT THE PILLARS JUST ATE A BUNCH OF BT. 8/24 It was pouring this morning so I just ran down and shook off my plants. Didnt take any pictures or do a video as it was raining pretty hard. IT is now 11am and the rain has stopped. I did not go at night to check for earwigs due to my wife needing me do to her medical illness. I've been through a lot this week. That's why I asked my buddy before I DID ANYTHING. It's a GOOD thing my bags dry out so tast but it means I REALLY need to keep on top of it. I'll make sure I get sleep and a decent meal and I'll check things out later on today. If I see cause for alarm I'll come back at night. I'll go over to shake things off anyway. UPDATE: Went over after the rain slowed and shook things off. The wind came up and I remembered I had a few plants that were only supported on the main stem. Those plants are strong as hell and have branches the diameter bigger than the main stalk of an indoor plant. Still, I used the fence and the stake that was securing the main stalk and made like a triangle of string attached to the fence and the garden stake. Essentially it just makes a large triangle of string (loose) around this strong compact plant so if the wind blows to hard during the storm it will give it some more support. That was my big purple punch. I added another stake to a blueberry cheese that I FIMed with those huge colas and made sure all the nail branches were tied up. I SHOULD go check for earwigs to tonight but I need sleep. If they're there, there aren't many. I think I used the correct "their's" lol I didn't mean to. I'm losing leaves that are turning yellow and falling off. I think a few may be hungry. I'll check the diary and feed again. I'll try my ph meter as well but I really don't trust it. Everything going in is good and when I phed the rainwater it was much lower. 8/25 RAINED ALL DAY OR MOST OF IT. FOR SOME REASON MY COMMENT IS GONE. 8/26 FED 3 GALLONS TO GARDEN EVERYBODY GOT 1.75 PINTS AT LEAST. Defoliated what needed it after the storm and fed three gallons to the garden of nutrient mix. Each plant got at least a powerade bottle (1.75 pints), the big cheese in the fifty got over two as did the two other 30s. I spread around what was left after and ended up with one powerade bottle of mix left. I should've just gave it to them but hindsight is 20/20. Some plants are yellowing up a little bit and it's climbing the plant. Sunny out today. Plants are exploding in flower and we've experienced some rain but it still concerns me. I'm also concerned about earwigs. Haven't seen any and actually (happily) found a couple aphids and ants. If the earwigs were bad there wouldn't be a single aphid around. I've seen ants on the plants so I'm sure there are some more aphids. The tiny branches that should've been pruned have damage that looks like previous years from earwigs. On one branch it looks like they chewed the stem of a secondary branch and it was just hanging there. I thought I killed all those bastards but if a couple got IN the grow bags it will be much harder to catch them. The damage isn't severe and it's on a branch I was going to prune anyway. It's just the point. They seem to love any plant with "blueberry" in it. They also seem to stay totally away from any thick indica buds though and prefer longer less dense buds. That's my take from dealing with earwigs for several seasons in a row. Even if present in small numbers I think I did enough so they won't have much of an impact even if they are there but I'm going to go check anyway. Boy things are looking good! UPDATE: Went back over and it seems like a bunch of leaves yellowed on my "big cheese." I hope it's not leaf septoria. I also found one piece of bedroom on the very bottom of a plant. Just shit I shouldve pruned but still. I noticed some ants and a few aphids as well. I'm going to have to watch the yellowing and consider using plant doctor preventatively in case of fungal. 8/27 After that increased feeding I defoliated a shit ton of yellow leaves. The big cheese has lost quite a few fan leaves. It's not just fan leaves though. It seems some newer growth yellows on that plant too. I have a couple blueberry cheese that may have septoria. Or it could be overwater with all this rain. Considering a treatment of plant doctor. Buds are EXPLODING in growth. UPDATE: Super sunny day spent in the E.R. Went back and checked the girls and they looked even BIGGER!!! I'm super stoked for this fall. Wondering if the leaves dropping from my big cheese is normal. I hope it's not fungal. If it is I have several products to treat it. I might throw a question up and see what ppl think. I've tried to upload this video three times!!! I hope it gets through this time. Won't go past 14% amd I've tried four times. It's a good video too! I'll upload tomorrow when I have better service. FINALLY! 8/28 Bags were wet and heavy as hell. It should be easy to tell when its time to water but my anxiety still fucks around with me. Showed my buddy a bunch of pictures and videos and addressed all my concerns. Mainly septoria. He doesn't think I've got it. He looked through everything and made me feel a lot better. Just senescence and maybe a little over watered from the rain. He said many growers cut the nitrogen right off at the stage of flower where some of my plants are at. That made me feel much better. The sun is out and it's upper 70s at 11. Plants are exploding in growth. Lighting was good this'll morning g so I took numerous photos and videos. I uploaded one but then I deleted all my large files which apparently included tge ones I did today. During my evening check up I'll take a couple more and upload them. Boy things are looking good. Knock on wood but this is looking like my best year ever! UPDATE: WENT OVER ROGHT BEDORE DARK TO CHECK THE GIRPS. DEFOLIATED A SHIT TON OF LEAVES. IT WAS LIKE 80 TODAY. BAGS ARE STILL HEAVY HAS HELL. BUDS ARE REALLY EXPLODING. THEY LOOK BIGGER TONIGHT THEN THEY DID THIS MORNING AND IM GETTING A REALLY NICE SWEEET SKUNKY SMELL. FOUND A COUOLE APHIDS AMD I COULD DUE TO CLEAN OUT THE INTERIOR OF SOME OF TGE PLANTS. I SHOULD ALSO DO ANOTHER APP OF BT. IVE NOTICED THAT I HAVE SOME PEST ISSUES. NOT BAD ONES BUT STILL.
