I think flowering is initiated..worst case I will have 9th week of flowering

Great grow from start to finish. Chopped on day 77 and very happy with the yield.

This Week she's continuing to really strech out and form some pretty nice Buds. I started to Use the "Green Buzz Organic Bloom Liquid" and untill now i'm Happy with it. I am Incredibly Happy with the Strain "Applestrudel" from 420 Fastbuds it's growing Beautiful and starts forming and Packing up pretty decent. I hope you enjoy the Diary, please leave Comments and Questions !

* ********* Week 3, April 25 to May 1, 2020 - Days 15 to 21 from germination ********** * So we have been chugging along and doing well. Keeping the feeds in check and not given any waterings over 6.0pH before this week. By mid week when checking runoff numbers found they were flipping 7.2pH!!!!!! What is shooting up the numbers so high?? They were given some Epsom salt and not sure if they have been given too much magnesium. Wondering if it could be the pots? Watering patterns have not changed? Cut slits in the bottom of all the fabric pots to help with drainage and see if moisture is sitting in the bottom of the pot causing issues with pH??? They are doing well but not at the same time.....GSC girls seem a little show in veg growth at this stage. Little more detail....... April 25/20 - Day 15 - Mixed 1L of water with Vitathrive, Dual Fuel @ 1.5ml = 700ppm and 6.0pH. - each girl given 0.5L feed. - humidity a little low at 52% and bumping up to 65% - light heights at 30” roughly right now. - GSC outer edges of leaves getting a little light. - GSC2 is forming a nice structure and new leaves are wider. April 26/20 - Day 16 - no real growth and the girls don’t look happy.......not sure of the issue? - mixed 2L water with Sensi CalMag @ 1.5ml. Sensyzime @ 2ml, Epsom Salt @ 1/4 tsp/L - GSC fighting magnesium deficiency so adding Epsom Salt, - increased light intensity a bit today. April 27/20 - Day 17 - dry out day - think the root zone is holding too much moisture and causing pH issue. - cut long slits in the bottom of the pots to let moisture run out faster/easier. - GSC has liked the increased lighting. - all the girls got clockwise rotation today. April 28/20 - Day 18 - Girl Scout girls given 3L watering with Vitrathrive @ 1.5ml = 100ppm and 5.1pH - runoff numbers: - GSC - 600ppm and 7.2pH - GSC2 - 475ppm and 7.2pH - pH is still too high!!!! - leaf colours on all the girls look good😳 April 29/20 - Day 19 - more runoff numbers to look at - Mixed 8L for each girl with Dual Fual @ 1.75ml - 325ppm and 5.0pH........each girl given this amount!!!! - Run off numbers: - GSC - in tray before feed was 7.2pH, brought down the pH to 7.0 and 525ppm - GSC2 - in tray before feed was 7.2pH, brought down the pH to 7.0 and 500ppm - now we see if the flush will help in the next couple of days. April 30/20 - Day 20 - dry out day - stems are looking thicker today. All nodes are separating and they are growing.......slowly though. May 1/20 - Day 21 - dry out day again - need to let the pots dry out in order to adjust the pH further. - they are looking taller and happier today. Sorry for running behind gang. Always so much to stay on top of😀........

mimosa has become very big, I can clearly smell the orange. I will harvest next week, this week I cut off all the food flow, only water will be given 3 times,, I will leave the blue gelato 41 for 1 week longer.

Flowering process going very well, buds smelling very well and growing. She is in very good health. Hope buds start turning purple soon, still, they are filling with trichomes. Mollases: 5 mL/L

I provided you with a close up video of each plant and one video where i go through tent and try to focus some nice buds individually. Royal jack is the tallest plant in garden and the smell is amazing, sweet, very familiar to me but i dont remember from where haha.. Yesterday i did massive defoliation as there were too much leaves, never seen a plant with tht much leaves, i even removed those with some.crystals to their surface, thats how pissed i was :D Everything is going well, i will start flushing her soon..

Almost there!!

Thanks for the help everyone looking forward to future grows. Went way better than I imagined my first grow going.

Hello growers, Welcome back for vegetative week 14 of the Pineapple Upside Down from Humboldt. This week was clearly a difficult one. The plant is still growing, but something was off. The overall development slowed down, and the lack of vigor became more noticeable compared to previous weeks. After checking all the usual parameters, the issue finally became clear. The reservoir pH was perfectly stable, sitting in the correct range around 5.7–5.9. However, the real problem was happening in the tray. The nutrient solution was sitting there for too long, and the pH was drifting significantly, reaching around 6.8. This caused the coco substrate to buffer at the wrong pH level, leading to a partial nutrient lockout. Since the plant wasn’t drinking enough, the solution had time to degrade and shift, which is one of the limitations of the Autopot system when the plant is not actively feeding. To correct the situation, I decided to fully reset the system. A complete flush was performed using FlashClean from Terra Aquatica, with a very low EC and a pH adjusted to around 5.5. The goal was to clean the substrate and remove any accumulated imbalance. After the flush, the system was left to drain and stabilize over the weekend. I then restarted feeding manually with a much more controlled approach. Instead of letting the tray stay filled, I used small amounts of nutrient solution at pH 5.7 and EC 1.7, allowing the coco to absorb it before removing any remaining liquid to avoid stagnation. The objective is to progressively bring the substrate back into the correct pH range and restore proper nutrient uptake. This method will be maintained throughout the week to observe how the plant reacts. If the plant shows a strong recovery and regains vigor, the Autopot system will be reactivated. Otherwise, manual control will remain in place. I also performed a light defoliation and cleanup, removing lower growth and excess foliage to improve airflow and light penetration. At this stage, the situation is under control, but the outcome will depend on how the plant responds over the next few days. The next update will be important to confirm whether this recovery strategy was effective. Alright growers, take care and see you next week.

Was a real experience to grow the Darkdevilauto, with these Strain we could see a lot of what a ganja plant can resist, the two ladys are amazing but the vipaspectra has a bigger, strong and clear smelling, the second Lady look also greatly under the Mars hydro pannels but in thc production we see a gigantic difference. Thanks again to sweetseeds for send us these strain. Always with TnB naturals co2enhancer and ph up and down , thanks to all the feeding to biobizz and Greenleaf nutrients

Day 1 flower

Well. All growing cycle long watering with ph balanced clear water. We used our own super soil mix. In final results we get 138gr natural, 100% organic nuggets. Perfect seed supplier and perfect final. Smoke taste good and effect is light. Perfect chill after long working day. Many thanks Royal Queen Seeds and specially Jams. They know how to make us happy.💚

Barneys Farm pineapple Chunk 7 weeks of Flowering Completed 8th March 2020 I found some Bud rot in a bud early this past week and immediately removed it. This had me very concerned so after I washed my hands I inspected all of the remaining buds and couldn't find anymore which was both a blessing and a Warning to be extra vigilant from Now on. Luckily the Constant high humidity caused from the overcast conditions has finally abated and this weeks forecast is for Mostly sunny and Dry days. The Big fan that can be seen in the above images runs 24/7 now to create a constant medium strength Breeze that physically moves the branches and hpefully inhibits any further Rot fom occuring. Barneys Farm suggests a possible 56 day harvest for this strain but in the two times I have previously grown it . The phenotypes required 70+ days to get 20% amber trichomes. To be perfectly honest I doubt i'll be able to let this one run for that long because of the potential loss of bud thru rotting. I'm only at day 49 now so I guess I will be counting myself lucky if I can get it to around the 60 day mark ? Been needing to feed and water quite often as its drinking up everything I throw at it. Other than that not a lot else to report other than those big colas are very heavy already and dense which is my main concern but happy to see them so fat too 😎 Thanks once again to you all for reading my Update , Please leave a like if you liked the update and I'll see ya's next week 👍

Probably last foto session out of the grow box. Solution of Orgatrex and PK-5-8 with every watering, she is now getting 2 lit per day manually. I will connect autopot during periods of my absence but I am afraid that she may stay without enough nutrients. I am still under trauma of my first grow when I left them for 10 days unsupervised and at the time I was back there was lot of damage.

The Runtz has been an incredible strain to grow and she looks fantastic after the trim. I’ll update everything after she’s dried and I get to taste her briefly before the cure! 🙌🏼 Edit - Runtz is tasting incredible after a week dry. Now it’s in to the jars for curing! Thanks fir checking in.

**EDIT** just an FYI... SmokieMcPot wants NOTHING to do with Seedsman!! Appreciate the response I got from them after replying to one of their spam mailers in dm... lets me know everything I need to know about their company... I'll continue to plug breeders/vendors that I feel deserve the advertising. I won't EVER plug a Seedsman bean! How time flies... Start of week 6 is it?? I feel I've put these girls a week behind, but then again I'm sure they'll bounce back just as hard as they have already. I just keep stressing these bitches out 🤣. so far have ive topped both, supercropped TF out of em (should have tied em down again too), swazz'd (to an autoflower point I guess)... what else can I do to hurt these girls feelings?? I can tell anyone that actually reads all of this I am going to drill their main right before harvest with the 48hr dark period.. Just put the net in today to keep a hold of em for now. Have another to use for when they need support. I plan on scooting this one up a bit as it stretches and branch them out some more. These branches are pretty stick like, so no more bendy bendy to those or snappy snap will occur. Day 35- nothing special that hasn't been mentioned already. Running the GHE wk 1 bloom feed at full strength (1237ppm total). Will continue to adjust strength depending on how much TDS drops in 12/24hrs. May update later with a vid to show how thick the main is. BTW I forgot to set timelapse for day 34, so the carnage and immediate aftermath won't be added to the week unfortunately. Day 36- i accidently farted while working in the closet tonight... i think i may have to burn everything in there now and start from scratch.. it was THAT bad!.. i dont think a million apologies will make up for making these girls inhale THAT, nor flush it out of their systems. damnit!! Day 37- woke up to a puddle in the catch tray!!! couldn't find it so i ripped out the net. didnt really want it in there yet, but was helping with a few branches. ended up being the silicon light protector pad in the back directing splash from the dripper next to it right out a LST hole i drilled in the bucket. easy fix.. RES change tonight. same week 1 bloom medium strength since its the same as week 2 formulation. ended up being 1327 after PH corrections. water started off 300ppm calmag and started using hydroguard again since the h2o2 did the trick a while back and we're in the clear. plants looking awesome, and have another 19 days before another major defol. uploading vid of a new system im working on as a teaser for the next grow... its far from finished... but the final product will be showcased later on. Bigger version of this waterfarm and its upgrades. Plus something a buddy wants me to try, but I'm waiting on the plated titanium mesh to show from China to finish that piece and bring it to show and tell for everyone to see. Day 38- PM RES change due to TDS drop from 1327 to 902 in 24hr. WG starting her droop letting me know. She sure does pump right after a fresh change. Must have went light on my measurements cause I ended up in the 1100's. As long as the ratio is right, that's what matters. I don't know exactly WHAT they're eating, just that they are. Adding anything could risk a lockout. Looks like WG is trying to tell me to back off on the Nitrogen?? Maybe dialing it back a bit on accident worked out for the best.. Mild defol tonight to open up those bud sites. supercropped a few more fresh stretch limbs on GC. Day 39- selective leaf plucking tonight. Bare minimum to keep things opened up. RES change later in their day, tomorrow for me. Will be lowering the nitrogen a hair since 2 or 3 of WG leaves are curled downward at the tip. Will update with the breakdown after the fact. Day 40- WG has been looking hungry since yesterday. Don't blame her cause RES is down from 1100's to mid 7's. Even with topping off with 300ppm calmag'd water around 2.5L a day now. Changed RES before they woke from their nap. Modified week 2 transition GHE "medium". Breakdown as follows: 2 gal calmag'd water - 300ppm Micro - 11.6mL Grow - 11mL Bloom - 14mL RES totals after PH corrections - 1253 @ 5.54. Day 41- WG looking hungry again... RES was already down 200 from its change not even 12hrs ago and down 1.5L. top off, PH adjust. changed RES during their night, right before "sun rise". same modified formula as yesterday. need to bump it up so EC doesnt drop as fast. GC need to pick up the pace, cause i dont want WG getting full on amber by the time GC is done. random plucks here and there to keep things kinda opened up without taking off too much ATM. few leaves on GC showing small brown spots, calmag def?? hmm.. already using 5mL per gallon to get to 300ppm.. *edit* looks like the start of a calcium deficiency. Odd, cause I'm adding 5ml/gal now as per the bottle. Raises ppm from 80 to 300. How much is too much?? Going to try 7mL per gal for a few days and see if we can nip this in the butt. As always. Thanks for stopping by to check out my current grow. If it's you're first time here, check out previous weeks for their daily updates.

What a week. First off these girls are way to damn small to be 8 f'n weeks in. But I've delt with about 2 weeks of very hot weather eary on. The water temp got up to 85 that I know of. So it fried the roots. I discovered hydrogen peroxide little to late but it has helped. I really thought I was gonna lose a couple this week but they are doing much better. I got my new grow tent lights in. Using them on the main grow room until I get the other new light built but thatbwont be for some time. The other light is almost done. I've got the new pvc pipe frame made. Yaya I know cheap. But hey that's why I did it. I just ordered to more light setups. That puts me at $300 for this light alone. But damn it is so Brite. Right now with just 6 lights on high its at 283watts. I'm adding 2 more that should put me around 376 Watts for a 5x5. These are the large cog legs. I have 3500 wave length ones. I also built a cloner. Shout out to @icanthc for one of his videos that gave me the inspiration to build my own with improvements. I've had bad luck with clones so far so I hope this will help. I'm going to cut down CDG#2. She so damn far behind. I will get 3 cloned out of her. Fingers crossed.
