26.1.25:
I have had a mistake 😕 i spilt some Fish Mix as I was experimenting with a syphon from some aquarium tubing I have. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the syphon out! Ugh 😣
However, it is fish emulsion and very thick consistency. Therefore, I was able to scrape it up with 2 of my business cards up off the counter. So added this extra into the next 2 ltr solution I mixed.
All plants were watered with at least 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3.
Containing the following nutrients;-
♡ 3ml Seachem Seaweed
♡ 4ml Biobizz Fish Mix
♡ 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow
♡ 3ml Biobizz Bloom
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster
♡ 2ml Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag
♡ .25g Ecothrive Biosys.
♡ 2.5g of Bicarbonate of Soda as PH UP.
Unfortunately I have broken my PH pen too. Accidentally submerged it under water, then the readings went crazy.
I'm leaving it to dry by standing it up but I'm most likely going to need a new one, which is extremely annoying 😑
I'm going start implementing the Scrog net probably some point next week if I let the plants that are in flower to just grow up now, as I do believe that I stunted Watermelon 🍉 by using too strenuous LST.
Hopefully the plants still are able to grow upwards at this stage during flower for all the Purple Punch P1, P2 and P3.
We will soon see!
28.1.25:
My PH pen has packed up 😣
I've got to wait to get another.
It's super annoying 😑 so I'm just judging by memory how to regulate it.
Unfortunately, that's my only choice! I'm also out of the dechlorinator 😕 things are not going very well this week so far 😅
I guess we will have to make do, until I can get replenished.
29.1.25:
I removed all the plants, hoovered, and disinfected the tent.
There were several accidents when watering, causing some debris and splashes.
I decided to just go ahead and get a few other things done. It's crazy how quickly things can become neglected! 😣
So I defoliated moderately on all plants except Gorilla Cookies seedling.
I have absolutely dropped the ball on my lighting situation!
My light was much further away than I thought!
I turned it up to 100% and dropped it down to just under 2 feet away.
After I reset the tent, I set up my scrog net. I removed 80% of all LST pegs. I am planning on letting the scrog net take over the training from here.
I really want to minimise the risk of mould, so I decided to start using my dehumidifier. It has raised up to 73% RH this week, so it's necessary.
Hopefully, I will be able to get my dechlorinator and PH pen soon! That's kind of essential to me.
It's been a little bit of a stressful day in the garden, to be honest 😅
30.1.25:
So I am expecting the arrival of my new PH pen today, as well as my new bottle of Ecothrive neutralise.
It is supposed to measure the TDS and EC in addition to the standard TEMP and PH, which I had previously. Obviously, time will tell if it's any good or not.
I realise, much too late now, that my lighting is very insufficient for this many plants. I need double the watts at least, and coverage is very poor.
I remembered I had an old LED floor lamp, which was in a corner being unused.
I decided to take the stand off, and Zip tied the pole onto the tent pole at the back left corner.
I have no idea what the wattage is, and it's quite pathetic 😅 but I mean, I might as well use it, being as I definitely cannot afford more lights! 😣
Next grow, I will probably only grow 2 plants, max 4, and just use larger 7-10 Gallon pots.
Being as I ran out of dechlorinator, I only watered some plants properly because I only had enough to make 6 litres. When my pen arrives, I will get everything properly watered.
31.1.25:
The leaves of several plants are showing signs of iron deficiency. This is likely due to my PH pen packing up earlier. I now have a new pen.
Due to this, I decided to use my Seachem Prime, which I use for my aquariums. As I wanted to get them watered properly, and my Ecothrive Neutralise hasn't arrived yet.
I watered each plant with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. I added .25g Ecothrive Biosys to the water.
May give them a breather on the nutes and just use the Cal-Mag and Biosys.
Being as I've just topped dressed with rich fertilisers, I'm sure that will be OK for the next several waterings.

End of Week 12 (Fifth week of flower)
The ladies are smelling reDANKulous and are so frosty and sticky I can't remove fan leaves without getting my hands sticky. Next level terpene profiles.
I did a final increase in CO2 to 1500ppm.
The main top-sites are taking shape.
I have been keeping a cooler average temperature - and also keeping the relative humidity lower.
Pest Report: None

Noticed some yellow/lime green sugar leaves at the top of the two tallest buds on the Gorilla Cookies along with some dark and light spots. Could it be light or wind burn? Hope it's not something more! I raised the lights a few days ago after spotting some whitening and curling at the tips, could it be something coming on after that? That issue aside the weeks gone well, the buds are still packing and getting more and more crystals throughout. Humidity started creeping up at the end of the week, a spell of wet weather and feeds going up to 1 litre being the causes. The little dehumidifier I have does remove some moisture but I was seeing it well over 55% more often than I would have like as so had bought four 2 litre paint kettles and, having drilled holes in the bottom of two of them and housed them inside an unholed one each, filled the top to the brim with rock salt to hopefully drop me back towards 50%🤞 Think it's time to start flushing through the SB and may do the same with the GC, she's a tad further back but hoping for a strong finish

Hello Diary,
Cherry Pie has finished its last week, I harvested it two days after taking the photo.
73 days since I put the seeds in the ground.
65 days since the start of the vegetation.
Really very fast.
But the result is impressive as you can see in the photos.
The flowers are large and dense, the branches bend slightly under their weight.
The main cola is especially large and full of large flowers covered in trichomes.
The flowers are very hard to the touch and sticky under the fingers, especially the flowers on the main cola.
The leaves have started to turn autumn yellow which is also an indicator of its maturity.
The smell is very intense at this stage, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box.
Watering was standard, every three days.
This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lowered the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water.
After taking the photos, I left it in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil to make it easier to dry.
Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying faster and have less work to trim the dried flowers.
After cutting, I left it upside down in the grow box to dry.
Now all that remains is to see how much it has really rewarded me. See you when that happens.
Here's what the last week looked like.
19/09/2024 - Day 57.
Watering.
I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm.
22/09/2024 - Day 60.
Watering.
I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.
24/09/2024 - Day 62.
I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so that they were fresh for the photo shoot.
25/09/2024 - Day 63.
End of the last, 9th week since Cherry Pie began its journey. Photo shoot.
27/09/2024 - Day 65.
Cherry Pie has been harvested.
That's almost all from me for this diary, there is still the final report that follows after drying and testing. Thank you all once again for your support and comments.

She’s finally down 😸
I finished harvesting the lower buds this morning. Most of the buds appeared to have matured.
Filled another one and a half hangers, I can’t get over how much this plant has produced.
All the buds feel solid to the touch and the trichome coverage is phenomenal.
She’s got a really sweet gassy aroma, with a funky backend.
I’ve done a final trim on all the top/mid buds, they’re just having a few more days to finish up.
Sorry for the lack of pictures, I 100% plan on doing a final smoke report update with an overall yield and plenty of pictures.
Made a small test batch of rosin from the final trim, came out fantastic, it’s retained all the smell, it’s ridiculously strong and smokes extremely smooth 😻.
I’d like to thank everyone who’s had a look, commented or liked this diary. I hope it’s been helpful in some way 😸.
Another fantastic strain by In House Genetics, if you are looking for premium quality flowers grab a pack!
——————————————————
SMOKE REPORT & FINAL WEIGHT
——————————————————
For some reason it won’t let me add the final smoke report so I’m adding it here underneath 😸🤷♂️ hopefully it’ll be seen.
I’ve finally got round to trimming the last of the Slurricane and I was amazed with how well she yielded.
I got 9 ounces of solid buds that are covered in a ridiculous amount of trichomes! I don’t have any way of testing her but she looks like a 30%+ THC content, absolutely phenomenal buds.
I also got 2 ounces of smaller leafier buds that were round the bottom of the plant and a stupid amount of premium quality trim. All this has been frozen to make into Rosin at a later date.
The Buds themselves have a unique smell and taste, it’s gassy, but has a strange sweet taste that lingers In the mouth. I’ve never really had anything like it before.
She packs an absolute punch!
Immediate flushing to the face whether it be Rosin or Flower, I’d say she leans more to the indica side of things, but that could just be me 🤷♂️
All the top buds have had a weeks cure and are smoking unbelievably smooth even at this stage 😸
I’m storing some of it in a jar and I’ve posted a pic of the bottom of it, it’s almost completely white from the loose trichomes that have shaken off 😻.
The Rosin I’ve made so far has been fantastic and I’ve only used trim, I’ve yet to press any flower, but I reckon she should give some decent returns!
Overall she’s ticked a lot of the boxes for things I look for in a decent keeper plant. I’ve got a mother clone vegging so I’ll be running groups in the future.
Great plant, great smoke 😻🌱💚

Apple Strudel Auto - FastBuds
Hello welcome to my new Growdiarie, nice to see you again. Today I will start my first indoor grow and take you with me on my journey. Since I was able to gain a lot of experience through my outdoor grow this year, the first indoor grow will be much easier. The reason for this is that the parameters for an optimal grow are easy to influence.
As in the previous grows, I decided to use the water glass method for germination. After about 48 hours the seedling root formed. The germination process was carried out at a temperature of 25° Celsius near a heater.
The seedling was planted approx. 1 cm deep into the 25 liter pot. This time I used soil from Plagron. The pot was filled with Plagron Growmix. At the end I filled a hole the size of a 1l pot with Plagron Lightmix so that the seedling does not come into direct contact with the pre-fertilized soil.
Plagron Lightmix
N 180 mg/L - P 210 mg/L - K 360 mg/L
Plagron Growmix
N 216 mg/L - P 252 mg/L - K 432 mg/L
This time I will also work with fertilizer. I have two different ones to choose from. One is the mineral Plagron line (Terra Bloom, Sugar Royal, Big Bud, Greensensation) and the starter kit from Advanced Nutrients. As the soil is pre-fertilized for the first 3 weeks, it does not receive any additional fertilizer during the vegetative phase. After the first 3 weeks I decide which plant gets which fertilizer. At the end i can draw a rough conclusion as to which fertilizer series has performed better. The experiment is carried out with different varieties. I will also try tie down LST.
Set-Up:
Now a few words about my setup. I have full confidence in AC Infinity. During my research, I have only heard good things about AC Infinity. So what can I say? When the package arrived I was immediately impressed by the high quality. From the packaging to the product, everything is perfect. I ordered the lamp from kingbrite. The advantage of the lamp is that you can adjust the angle of the LED panels. The lamp is also compatible with the controller using adapter type b .
Tent: AC Infinity Cloudlab 844
Exhaust air: AC Infinity Cloudline T6 incl. activated carbon filter
Lamp: Kingbrite P55 / 480w, dimmable
Fan: AC Infinity Cloudray S6 Gen. 2
Controller: AC Infinity Controller 69 Pro
Pots: Gronest 25L

This plant that I harvested today I've only defoliated and she took well to that. I LST and defoliated the other plant and she is still ripening will harvest her soon.
285gramms of wet bud is quite good for first grow, so i should get about 60g dry, I'll update actual value when dry. She was in the tent with 4 other plants under the Skyline 1000 lights which pull 500w from mains.
She filled the room with some sort of orange/lemon candy smell. Smells really nice.
I'll update when I harvest the other Candy Kush and report on taste/effect once dried.
-------
Day 79 I harvested the other Candy Kush, gave 280g wet, not much of a difference between the trained and untrained plants, although I think she could have gotten fatter had I left her longer. Looking at the buds now that they dried up they got much smaller :D
Really loving the smell, can't wait for them to cure.

This was my first time with any of this so I messed up a bit by drowning the seeds in the beginning.. thankfully I caught it in time and raised them closer to the top of soil. The next day I started seeing my little girls sprouting. It’s now day 5 and they are looking pretty healthy .... I think? Let me know if you see anything I could improve on!!

Flowering day 12
since time change
to 12/12 h.
Hey everyone ☺️.
Once again a wonderful week goes by 😀.
It has developed so far and is now slowly starting to develop its flowers :-).
As soon as the first forms of buds can be seen (I think in 5-10 days) 2 g GHSC Powder Feeding Bio Bloom per liter of substrate are added.
In the third week, 1 g per liter of substrate is added so that it lasts through to the end :-).
This week it was poured 3 times with 1 liter each 👍.
The entire tent was also cleaned and the electronics checked for functionality.
The humidifier was refilled every day and fresh osmosis water was drained into the tank for the coming week ☺️.
The plants have all been checked for health and pests 👍.
Next week the bamboo sticks are inserted towards the end for support and the lowest shoots are removed so that at the end the energy is not wasted in the lower area 👍.
Otherwise there is nothing more to report this week :-).
I wish you a lot of fun with the update 😎.
Stay healthy and let it grow 🍀.

I received my Mars Hydro lights and they helped a lot. 2 TS-1000's. I supper cropped some of the 12/12 from seed and it looks like something trampled through the garden. Lol. The rest are really stretching now. I hope I the larger ones don't get rootbound. 🤞😁😁😁

Woche 1 der Blüte ist ein Traum. Die Ladys haben alle eine gute Höhe erreicht und haben schöne Blütenansätze entwickelt. Hier hatte es recht wenig geregnet und die Sonne kam auch recht regelmäßig durch. Mitte der Woche hatte es etwas geregnet, so das ich nicht gießen musste. Der Topf hatte durch Tagestemperaturen um die 22-25°C nicht das Problem das das Substrat austrocknet und zu nass war es auch nicht. Ich hatte einmal die Oberfläche angefeuchtet und den Ladys sonst nur beim wachsen zugeschaut und mich gefreut💚
Also wirklich eine sehr entspannte Woche.
Hier und da ein paar einzelne Blattläuse abgesammelt. Es waren in der ganzen Woche vielleicht 10 Stück. Also hat sich die Pflege auch in Grenzen gehalten. Falls es mit den Blattläusen stark zunehmen sollte, werden ein paar Nützlinge in den Kampf geschickt. Ein zwei Blätter mussten entfernt werden weil ein kleiner Thrips etwas Schaden angerichtet hat. Aber sonst wachsen die Ladys einfach super vor sich hin💚
Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen💚🤙🏻

28/04/2021 (Day 43)
Se realizo un nuevo cambio de solución, las plantas ya están tirando pelos y los leds están al 80%, se observo un gran crecimiento radicular y las paredes del tallo son increíblemente gruesas y duras.
03/05/2021 (Day 48)
Las plantas vienen con un crecimiento optimo pero la flora se está tardando demasiado en hacerse presente, se estima que es debido al estrés que tuvo en semana 3 de vege produjo un retraso de algunos días.
Esta semana se incorpora Safe Roots al sistema con la finalidad de que deje la solución lo mas limpia posible.
También se realizaron bastantes defoliaciones ya que no existía penetracion de luz teniendo en cuenta el tamaño que están ocupando (85% del espacio de cultivo a 30/35 cm de altura)
05/05/2021 (Day 50)
Se realizo un nuevo cambio de solución, esta vez utilizando safe roots para limpiar todo el sistema hidroponico.
600w de Citizen a 30cm en 160x80 y la plantas parecieran que si les doy mas luz van a usarla, es increíble la tolerancia a la alta intensidad de ppfd que tienen, gracias a esto logramos subsanar esa semana de raíces marrones.
La temperatura bajo drásticamente y nos dejó el indoor en unos 22 grados, donde todo marcha perfecto.

Welcome to chop day of my white truffle grow ?
She's 16 1/2 weeks old now and had a nice mix of amber and milky trichomes. She's sticky AF and smells great. A deep sweet and earth-ish smell.
For the first time I'm trying the drying cycle of the vgrow. Till now the temperature is somewhere between 19-21 degrees and 58-65% humidity.
Looking forward to the first smoke of this one.
