Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.

Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

8/30 Rained yesterday and pretty much all night. Plants looked happy this morning. I'm thinking about feeding today or tomorrow. The late flowering special kush doesn't have much longer and it will be done. I'm going to need to do another treatment for the thrips. Nights are so cold that I think they aren't a major problem. No signs of septoria either. No signs of ANY molds or mildew. Even where I took the pillar out but I removed a lot. I am noticing (especially on the pink kush and the special kush in the back) the wierd "top hat" lower buds like I previously did. I don't think it's the chipmunk. It's like they eat fresh buds and leave the top there. I think it might be earwigs but I haven't seen ANY. Birds have been keeping my garden pretty clean. Almost everytime I walk down there it's like a flock of birds takes off lol. I was watching the little finches all perched on my cage. I've seen them dart in and grab a snack. It's pretty cool how it works. Symbiotic relationship. I feed the birds amd they help keep my garden pest free. EDIT: Went to check the girls around 430. It seems like everytime I see the flowers they've swelled in size. Especially the natural mk ultra. Everything is really coming together. Pink kush is behind but it's starting. I'm getting lots of fall colors but I'm losing lots of leaves too. I wouldn't have defoliated as good as I have if I hadn't had problems. I thought the plants were done getting taller or stretching but after this rain they ALL seem taller. The buds are swelling as well. I'm on the home stretch with the early special kush. Few more weeks. Everything looked amazing tonight. I wanted to take some pictures but I left my phone. Smell is greatly increasing. 8/31 I don't get how we got NO rain the ENTIRE summer but it's rained the past few nights? Maines bipolar weather I guess. I see the same shit as prior years. Something crawls up and eats small shoots and developing buds but leaves larger ones alone. I thought it was earwigs before. I'm not sure now. I'll have to go look at night and figure out what's eating shit. It's just small secondary shoots mostly. Stuff I should've pruned but I leave on so the won't eat my fucking colas. I got some work to do but I'm getting closer. 9/1 Well we made it to September. Pink kush is finally STARTING to form little buds. After some research (and watching those fucking locusts try to fly into my cage but can't because they are to fucking big. I was lucky I found that enormous one on the stalk of the furthest special kush right where the tip cola starts. Luckily I was able to get him. Didn't have to take pics or a video or even check if they need water. It rained a little last night and the buds were a little wet. I'm planning to feed when I get back. If they need water I'll give it to them. My early special kush is getting real close. I want to harvest at peak timing but sometimes exigent circumstances screw that up. However i think I'll be able to let this girl finish properly. EDIT: Went back over to check weights and everything was super heavy. Plants are all turning fall colors. I checked the trichs on my special kush, mk ultra and 10th planet. Everything looked great in the sun! Everything is swelling and getting frostier everyday. I'm hoping that the pink kushs will finish. My early special kush LOOKS like it should be done but it's not. Looking at the trichs and stigmas it needs more time. I've found on several plants that between the; giant caterpillars, earwigs and pillars that they can take a whole branch and pretty much decimate it in a night. I chased one of those giant locusts around my Cafe and it finally got out. Bastard was almost the size of a small bird! I should feed tonight and possibly do a treatment for pests. 9/2 Had to shake to plants off again. Bags are still heavy. I'll probably feed tonight. I'm noticing tons of damage on lower and interior branches. The grasshoppers or locusts or whatever they are can strip a whole branch! They can even bite through little stems. I'll never grow outside without floating row covers again. The special kush is getting really close. Sometime this week I'll look for a mature tester bud. Both MK ULTRAS are exploding in flower and getting frostier daily. 9/3 We are going to be getting some rain. I noticed the grasshoppers or whatever really like the special kush. After seeing her in the sun I made the executive decision (after one more peak at the trics) and decided to chop her. I feel like that was a good decision. Even more so as I got going. I bet if I let it ride I would've ended up with half as much. The fan leaves had all dropped. I wish I would've kept a clone of this pheno. Smells amazing! I did a quick wet trim with branches and cut little buds (which there weren't many) went in a paper bag the rest was hung to dry. Minus the top cola and a bud or two I brought home to look at and manicure. The roots were really dry. The others seen heavy but I haven't watered in a while. I'm planning on watering and feeding tomorrow. Things are really exploding and conibgvti life! I feel so much better having that plant inside. 9/4 I was definitely right to take that plant. It just SEEMED to early. Went over today and found more damage from those grasshoppers or locusts, whatever the fuck they are. I used to just hear that noise at night but now it's morning noon and night. Some can't hear it but it's this high pitched buzzing (them rubbing their legs together) which wad heard occasionally with crickets at night. This hear it's a CONSTANT sound. Considering I'm in late flower I'm not sure what to do. I don't think there's much u can do. At least it seems like they prefer the special kush and target that. So at least that huge mk ultra and the natural one and the 10th planet's should be fine. Pink kush is finally flowering. Whether they'll have any nodes left by the time they finish is an unknown. WATERED TODAY. EVERYTHING GOT A GALLON BUT THE 10S. EVERYBODY GOT A QUART OF FOOD. IM CONSIDERING UPING KOOL BLOOM. Didn't take pictures or do a video. I will later. I'll review the special kush I took when I take the others. I'll be back over later and I'll update. No rain as of 2pm. I watered because I took the rootball apart of the special kush I harvested and it was dry as a popcorn fart! I lifted a couple and they were light bit I didn't lift everything. The water sat on the top for quite before it would drain. At least they had a good dry cycle. That plant I took looks and smells amazing. I can't wait to try it. 9/5 Thunder showers today. Started raining early while I was checking the girls out. I had coffee and waited until it stopped and shook them all off. EVERYTHING is exploding in growth. Pink Kush is still quite a bit behind but everything else has swollen significantly. It's going to rain tomorrow too which I'm sure the plants will like. I SHOULD go stake individual branches or at the very least add some more supports. Still losing some stuff to critters but whatever. It's nature's claim. That plant I took looks awesome. My intuition was spot on. Can't wait to try it. EDIT: WENT BACK OVER AND SHOOK OFF BRANCHES AND ADDED SOME SUPPORTS. I DEFOLIATED A SHIT TON OF LEAVES. FLOWERS ARE GETTING BIGGER EVERY DAY. I FOUND SOMETHINGVTHAT LOOKED LIKE "STEM ROT" ON THE BRANCH OF SPECIAL KUSH THAT GOT STRIPPED. I LOOKED UP WHAT TO DO BUT FORGOT TO MENTION IT WAS SPRINKLING AND I CUT THE BRANCH OFF. THIS WAS (OR WOULD HAVE BEEN) A LARGE BRANCH AND IT WAS ALL GONE. IM HIPING IT DOESNT EFFECT THE PLANT. ITS ANOTHER SPECIAL KUSH AND ITS THE ONE WITH PINK CALYXS. I'M TRIMM8NG THE SPECIAL KUSH I TOOK DOWN. I GOT TO TRY IT TODAY. IT TURNED OUT AMAZING! COVERED IN TRICHS, SMELLS GREAT BUT TASTES BETTER! GIVES ME THAT FAMILIAR INDICA HIGH WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE. I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT IT SEEMS THAT CANNABIS GROWN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS FOR YOUR OWN NEEFS SEEMS TO WORK BETTER FOR ME THAN DISPENSARY PIT I KNOW IS BETTER. IM SITTING HERE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE. SINKONG INTO THE COUCH. I CAN TELL THERES OTHER CANNIBINOIDS AT WORK TOO. I LOVE THE ENTOURAGE EFFECT!

🇩🇪 GrowDiaries – Wochenkommentar Diese Woche hat sich meine Cherry Limeade großartig entwickelt 🌱. Es fühlt sich tatsächlich so an, als wäre plötzlich ein Schalter umgelegt worden. Das Wachstum ist jetzt kräftig und gleichmäßig, die Pflanze wirkt rundum gesund und zeigt weder Mangelerscheinungen noch die zuvor vorhandene Taco-Bildung der Blätter 💚. Am Sonntag habe ich sie getoppt ✂️ und ihr anschließend bis Donnerstag komplett ihre Ruhe gelassen, damit sie sich erholen kann. Seitdem läuft das Low Stress Training. Mit Drahtankern ziehe ich die Triebe vorsichtig nach außen, um eine möglichst breite und gleichmäßige Pflanzenstruktur aufzubauen 🌿. Die Positionen der Drahtanker passe ich täglich an, damit alle Triebe optimal Licht erhalten ☀️. Endlich habe ich auch die perfekte Einstellung für die vier Maxi-Blumat-Tropfer gefunden 💧. Das System hält die Saugspannung nun konstant zwischen 90 und 100 mbar, genau dort, wo ich sie haben möchte. Das gibt mir ein richtig gutes Gefühl – besonders, weil ich nächste Woche vier Tage beruflich unterwegs bin. Ohne ein zuverlässig eingestelltes Blumat-System hätte ich jetzt ein echtes Problem. So kann ich ganz entspannt verreisen 😌. Auch das Cover Crop wird langsam weniger 🌾. Ich schneide es mittlerweile fast täglich zurück, damit vor der Einleitung der Blüte nur noch wenig davon übrig ist. Langsam aber sicher gewinne ich diesen Kampf 💪. Das Gleiche gilt für die Trauermücken ?. Gestern habe ich 6.000 Hypoaspis miles ins Beet ausgebracht und abends, kurz vor dem Ausschalten der Beleuchtung, zusätzlich 3 Millionen SF-Nematoden gegossen. In einer Woche folgt eine zweite Behandlung mit weiteren 3 Millionen SF-Nematoden. Hoffentlich ist das dann das endgültige Aus für die Trauermücken 🎯. Ansonsten werde ich die Pflanze jetzt einfach weiter trainieren und in Ruhe wachsen lassen 🌱. Auf Komposttee oder Fermente verzichte ich bewusst, denn im Living Soil sollten mehr als genügend Nährstoffe vorhanden sein 🌍. Im Moment bin ich mit der gesamten Entwicklung mehr als zufrieden und freue mich riesig auf die kommenden Wochen 🚀. 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 400 PPFD (18/6, Stufe 3, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 72 % 📈 VPD: 1,0 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 670 ppm 💦 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 90 mbar 🇬🇧 GrowDiaries – Weekly Update This week my Cherry Limeade has developed amazingly well 🌱. It honestly feels like someone flipped a switch. The growth is now strong and steady, the plant looks very healthy, and there are no signs of nutrient deficiencies or the taco-shaped leaves I had before 💚. I topped her on Sunday ✂️ and then left her completely alone until Thursday to allow her to recover. Since then, I have started low stress training. Using wire anchors, I gently pull the branches outward to create a wider and more even plant structure 🌿. I adjust the position of the wire anchors every day to make sure all shoots receive optimal light exposure ☀️. I finally found the perfect setting for my four Maxi Blumat drippers 💧. The system now keeps the soil suction tension consistently between 90 and 100 mbar, exactly where I want it. This gives me a lot of confidence – especially because I will be away on a four-day business trip next week. Without a properly dialed-in Blumat system, this would have been a real problem. Now I can leave home completely relaxed 😌. The cover crop is slowly disappearing as well 🌾. I am cutting it back almost every day so that most of it will be gone before I start flowering. Little by little, I am winning this battle 💪. The same goes for the fungus gnats ?. Yesterday I released 6,000 Hypoaspis miles into the bed and, in the evening just before lights out, I watered in 3 million SF nematodes. In one week, I will repeat the treatment with another 3 million SF nematodes. Hopefully, this will finally bring the fungus gnats under control 🎯. Apart from training, I will leave the plant alone and let her grow naturally 🌱. I will not use any compost tea or ferments for now, because the Living Soil should already contain more than enough nutrients 🌍. At the moment, I am extremely happy with the development and I am really looking forward to the next few weeks 🚀. 📊 Current Parameters: 💡 Light: 400 PPFD (18/6, Level 3, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27 °C 💧 Humidity: 72 % 📈 VPD: 1.0 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Avg. 670 ppm 💦 Soil moisture: 90 mbar

Buenas a tod@s... Otra semanita más para las niñas, se supone q es la anteúltima semana pero siempre queda algún día más seguro... Está semana se quitaron y agregaron nutrientes nuevos para esta etapa de la floración, de momento todo en orden, este rmario salió muchísimo mejor a comparación a otros diarios, eso desde mi punto de vista. Tanbm le quité varias hojas, haciéndole hueco para que entre más luz x debajo, ya había aquitado pero tenía bastantes otra vez. De momento todo en orden... La semana q viene ya vemos q tal van... Un saludo y buenos humos para tod@s... 💨💨💨🙌🏻👍🏻 😎💀🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

Leaves starting to brown. First thought was over fertilizing but guessing calcium. Did add powdered oyster shells to dirt mix but needing alot more.

This week went pretty well, other than she stretched like crazy and I am now getting worried about running out of vertical space. I also had a few of my bottom leaves get a few brown and yellow spots on them. I did post some pics and asked a question, thank you for the responses, much appreciated! I am thinking about adding my Spyder Farmer LED 100 Watt light into the tent for the nebula auto because it is about 23 inches shorter than the sour diesel. I believe it would only raise my temp about 2 degrees, and possibly lower the humidity by one or two percent. I must say my dehumidifier has been a freaking stud, running 24X7 and not complaining. I should look into adding another unit, it has been in the mid 90's and muggy for about a week. So far I have to say I am super impressed and excited with this setup, the genetics, and with growing this wonderful plant in general. Already planning ahead to my next grow, and what I can do better. I have been enjoying myself and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to answer my questions! I am having a blast and am excited to see what this lady will give up in a few weeks!

These 2 girls are simply amazing in there own way... Minus the potassium and phosphorus deficiency they have put did themselves again.. the trichome productions is on point! They are sticky, dense nugs on both plants.. the gorilla punch is a mutant purple pheno.

I didn't really finish this diary. I took them back outdoors to finish for the last week. It finished kinda scraggly and the buds were fluffy. As soon as the bud was dry, I pressed it for the rosin...and forgot to do the diary. Decent for a freebie, but I won't be growing it again. Potency: 6/10 Yield: 4/10 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 5/10 Bag-appeal: 3/10

The plant is still going strong, but I noticed that the colors have faded a bit. Not necessarily a bad thing, though—I realized the temperature difference between day and night was a bit too extreme, which probably caused unnecessary stress. It did look absolutely stunning with those colorful leaves, but stability is more important now.🌱 Other than that, everything is going great! The buds are getting thicker, stinkier, and completely covered in frost.😍 The dominant smell is still pink pepper, which is really interesting. Sometimes I get a hint of something sweet, but I’m not sure yet if it will develop more over time.💚
