Looks absolutely awesome. This is my first photoperiod and you can really tell the difference in density and overall quality. She did 35g dry. So I achieved less than 1€/g cost per gram for the frist time! The biggest factor obviously beeing the shorter light cycle compared to the autoflowers I usually run. To save cost it might be smart to give the autos 12/12 as well. I will stick to 18/6 tho. Total Runtime: 82 days -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seed: free (gift) -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 15,21€ -Total variable costs: 24,71€ -Total costs per grow: 27,88€ -Cost per gram: 0,80€/g

Here we are in week six of flower and not a lot has happen this week other than the usual watering and letting her do her thing. Only trouble this week was updating GoPro had to try a few times. Other than that we got some rain in my home town and collected about 60 gallons that I'm going to use to finish the rest of the grow. Also, got my new AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 4-Inch. I was really hoping this two plants would finish before the year ended, however, it looks like they got others plans. See you guys next week.

Had a busy week looking after her this time. I topped her mid way though last week. It felt so wrong taking a pair if scissors to her after trying to take good care of her. Lol. It definitely slowed her growth down for a good few days after. Then at the weekend I re potted her in a larger pot. I think it's 20lt but not 100% sure. She went a little bit limp after re potting, but only for a day or so, and seems to have recovered nicely now. I'm still on an 18/6 light cycle and using formulex once a week. Though I intend to switch to using Ionic soil grow from tomorrow, so hoping to see the veg stage really come on this week. I added a video clip this week too. Showing off my top of the range cupboard. 😂😂. As always, any advice or criticism welcome. Thanks, and happy growing.

Starting week 1 of flower on this Forbidden Runtz Auto from FastBuds! She has been a pleasure to grow so far! She hasn't shown many signs of issues at all. She is definitely a little thirsty right now so we will take care of that immediately. More updates soon! Day 48 we removed some dead and dying leaves from her lowers. Still growing awesome though! Haven't had to adjust the tie on her main branch or anything. She has been basically maintenance free! She even spread herself out beautifully!

Meno piante. Non metterò la rete ma topping più varie legature per mandare in fioritura tutte alla stessa altezza.. Speriamo di non sbagliare di nuovo perché tengo particolarmente a tutti questi semi e sarà l'erba che fumero' a Natale🤶Giorno 1/8 ore 4 del mattino messo a germinare 6 semi. 2 Kosher Kush (Reserva Privada) 2 Apex R1(Ethos Genetics) 1 Banana Sundae (Cannarado Genetics) e 1 Rainbow Belts (Archive Seed Bank).

Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton. [END OF WEEK 01]

Cali crasher is a huge girl. She is bulking strong, and just growing like a weed. 🤣. She is under the Hortibloom Solux 350. 🤞🏻 for some nice colas. Everything is going good and she might be on ph water in about 2 weeks. About 3 to 4 weeks from finish. Thank you Hortibloom, and Doctor's Choice. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Alrighty, ya'll. seriously I can't even walk in here lol. I'm a bit worried about the growth and may freeze it here for 3 weeks due to the fact that the flower room still has about 5 weeks till harvest. until then I will keep doing what I have to slow them down but they just bounce back bigger haha. I've FIMed, Topped, HST, and LST multiple times. I will most likely defoliate repeatedly until they slow down a bit being safe not to Herm them of course.

Day 11: Watered each plant with 0.1l with nuts 465 ppm, 987 us/cm, 0.9 EC Lights at 35% The strawberry banana seedlings was very late in coming out of the ground, I had to give the helmet a hand to get it out, through 2 or 3 drops of water. One of the seeds is not good, it grew poorly, I put a Gorilla Cookies to replace it, also from fadtbuds. Let's see how it goes Day 12: The strawberry bananas are recovering well, one of the seeds is starting to get normal leafs, sounds perfect Day 13: Watered each plant with 0.25L with nuts 480 ppm, 1027 us/cm, 1 EC Lights at 50% Day 16: Watered each plant with 0.3L with nuts 668 ppm, 1423 us/cm, 1.4 EC Performed foliar callmag while the lights were off

Very high germination rate 7 of 7, but the sour diesel didn't make it to the next phase. Tried the SD again and I was successful

Wintergrow – kleines Update ❄️🌱 Gestern stand im Zelt tatsächlich mal ein ruhiger Tag an – nichts geschnitten, nichts gebogen, einfach nur beobachten. Der Stretch scheint jetzt so gut wie durch zu sein. Die meisten Pflanzen haben ihre Höhe erreicht und konzentrieren sich jetzt immer mehr auf die Blütenbildung. Man sieht langsam, wie sich überall kleine Budsites entwickeln. Besonders freut mich das ehemalige Sorgenkind im hinteren Bereich. Die hat sich deutlich gefangen und sieht inzwischen wieder deutlich vitaler aus. Mal schauen, wie sie sich in den nächsten Tagen weiter entwickelt – aktuell sieht es auf jeden Fall vielversprechend aus. Die hinteren Pflanzen könnten eventuell noch minimal nachstretchen, aber ich denke, der Großteil des Wachstums ist jetzt abgeschlossen. Jetzt geht es langsam in die Phase, in der die Buds anfangen richtig aufzubauen. Heute wird wieder kurz nach dem Rechten gesehen und dann schauen wir, wie sich das Ganze weiter entwickelt. Wintergrow läuft stabil 🌱

First feeding of the week was a light 300ppm and the rest RO. Death week two is going well. She is eating up what is left over in the leaves giving me confidence of a good flush. Last grow she was bright green on harvest and incredibly hard to smoke without a long cure. I can’t be fooled by amber trichomes, because of last weeks heat problem. The leaves are full of amber but I’m still seeing some clear. Last week countdown right on cue. Lights reduced to 90% on the last day.

Day 64 (August 19): so the blumats are gone now. I found they didn’t work great with too dressing because the majority of the top dressing doesn’t get soaked. So I’m watering from a can now. Added worm Castings and Power Bloom 2-8-4 for their last feeding! Day 66: By using the AC unit, I’ve been able to get the temps down to exactly where I want them. Sitting at about 76 degrees and 50% humidity. Things are getting FROSTY Day 67: temps are good, humidity is good. These ladies are thriving. They got a good soak today with PH’d water. Should last them a couple days. Day 69: Brought the lights down to 18”. Really trying to maximize the light output on these girls. They’re getting frosty 👊🏼
