Had a productive week for growth and made a few improvements. Bud development has been great this week. The buds are filling in the gaps mostly and creating nice colas. My plan is for the next 2 weeks to feed AN Overdrive. Then flush for 2 weeks i think. She is very sticky and has a sweet smell of candy grape. Still not a blast of smell when i open the tent but smelling her close she's sweet :D I re tied all the outside colas to make them have even spacing again. The red poles were in need of some better reflection so i foil taped them. The sealed box for my carbon filter was made when i was using the cfl. The way i needed to hang the light meant the outlet from the sealed box into the tent could only be 4 inches in diameter. With the Cob Led, it's attached on the side poles, so decided to max out the outlet. It is the full 6inches and cooling is more efficient now. (Maybe i should try origarmi) The black clip on fan was touching the tent so not drawing air as well. Also made an annoying vibration if touching the tent wall. I used the extender i had on the side vertically and mounted it horizontaly. Has opened the tent out a bit and have free space behind the fan. Have add photos of all improvements. Checked on the outdoor grow and is looking good. Did improvements on it last week by adding a 'gate'. Had spotted deer when visiting previously so didn't want to take any chances. Attached photos from visit yesterday. Video is from week before when i did the gate and surround supports. Left plant Glue Gelato Auto is my friends. It's the same age as my Wed Cake but grown outdoors it's whole life. Right plant is Purple Punch auto which is mine. 4 weeks younger than my Wed Cake and Glue Gelato but started indoors and then planted outdoors. This spot was only for 1 plant originally but after the situation from the other spot we had to take the GG there. Thanks for checking my diary See you next week and happy growing

It's growing really fast ! The temperature was colder this week. The LST is not what I wanted but every single bud gets light. No monster bud mix for this week, I gave to much 😅.

Soaked some then put them directly into rapid rooters and some into my own custom medium I’m putting them on a heat mat with a T5 light to get them big enough to put in my mini greenhouse

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

On day 2 of the week I turned both lights settings on (there are 3 options; growth: on flower: off / growth: off flower: on / growth: on flower: on) I set them both on because I read the more light the more bud and I was sure that the plant had started the transition and was flowering like stated in the previous week, the main stem got way to close to the light, (4in from ) and not having more room in the tent I bought a cheap garden net and distributed the plant so the light was as even as possible using a cheap little instrument with light sensor I bent the main stem pretty violently but it recovered well and is doing well tried dropping the temperature a bit by keeping my window open but I didn't drop it too much due too the fact that I live and sleep in the room just realized today that I should have changed the nutrient mix dosage at the begging of flower as recommended on the bottle to help the transition but I guess it turned out alright watering 2 -3 times a week 3L at a time

In general, I liked growing this variety, the only thing is a lot of small leaves, it is not very convenient to cut, but the colas are very dense and weigh well, there are also many small stepsons, although I cleaned up during unnecessary time, powdery mildew appeared after the rain, which is difficult get rid of the large number of leaves on the plant, and it's very good)

Day 16-27/12/21 all plants are good!!! Day 20-31/12/21 all looking good just need space in other tent to move half of them!!!!

Week#12 Gnomo Auto By Kannabia Week#12 Jan 13th-20th This week I flushed for a few days with just RO water. Then no water the last few days. She's really a beautiful lady her dark green leaves contrasted by the trichomes that cover this lady along with the purple that's starts to come through as she finishes is just amazing. She's been amazing to watch her grow over the last 86 days!!! Harvest next week...

Well welcome to week one flower ! I am so grateful she seems happy starting to get the system balanced I’m running rdwc two five gallon buckets with a 3” flex line connecting the base to base With ball valves to control the water height in grow bucket 320gph sub pump in the Reservoir bucket then to water chiller back to grow bucket large enough dependable oxygen pump for grow and reservoir water oxygenation I also alternate Southern Ag GFF and Hydro guard let’s go!

Grüßt euch, liebe Grow-Community! Zur 8. Woche / Blütewoche 5 dieses betreuten Grow-Projekts. Und auch hier wieder am Start nach einem kleineren Delay. Kurze Erklärung: Ich war im Urlaub und hatte in dieser Zeit nicht so den Zugriff auf die Jungs. Daraus resultiert das pure Chaos. Aber jetzt ist Papa ja wieder da und somit weht hier jetzt wieder ein anderer Wind!😁 Also Sachen gepackt und zu einer Spontanvisite vorbeigeschaut….😏 Erster Punkt auf der Agenda: Einen der beiden Strolche losschicken, um destilliertes Wasser für den Luftbefeuchter zu holen. Danach wurden die Kleinen ausgeputzt, sprich das ganze vergilbte Laub entfernt, damit man den Grow euch auch wieder vorzeigen kann – und ich mir ein besseres Bild von der Situation machen kann. Und als alter Glas-halb-leer-Pessimist ist mir natürlich direkt erstmal die Vergilbung an den jungen Blättern der Orange-Diesel-Ladys aufgefallen. Ob diese nun auf die stümperhafte Behandlung des VPDs zurückzuführen ist oder wir hier einfach einen klassischen Mangel haben, lässt sich ohne nähere Analyse (Runoff messen etc.) nicht genau ermitteln. Da ich pauschal erstmal von Zweiterem ausgehe, da speziell die Diesel-Damen deutlich mehr Biomasse aufgebaut haben und damit einen höheren Grundverbrauch haben, bin ich nach dem Besuch erstmal wieder zu mir gegurkt, um etwas von meinem noch übrig gebliebenen Living Soil einzupacken. Da ich in dieser Phase keinen Dünger mehr verabreichen will, weil das zeitlich einfach nicht mehr hinhaut, möchte ich wenigstens noch ein wenig Erde verabreichen, in welcher die Nährstoffe während der Lagerung bereits durch die Mikroorganismen teilweise pflanzenverfügbar gemacht wurden. Das sollte uns noch etwas Puffer verschaffen.😅 Nach Abklingen meines kleinen Rappels haben meine Augen dann aber doch noch einen Lichtblick vernommen… Wir haben hier mal wieder einen Underdog-Moment, liebe Grow-Community!! Die vorher schon etwas abgeschriebene Mephisto’s Wedding hat sich wirklich zu einem Augen- und Terpschmaus entwickelt. Wirklich ein phänomenaler Repräsentant der Elterngenetik. Sie verbindet den Frost sowie die Färbung der Wedding Cake mit funky Chem-Einflüssen, welche sich auch in der Optik wiederfinden. Wirklich sehr spannend!!😍 Hiervon werde ich mich doch gerne mal auf eine Kostprobe einladen lassen... Da trifft es sich doch auch sehr gut, dass sie augenscheinlich als Erste fertig wird. Als Zeichen meiner Anerkennung habe ich den Jungs fix noch einen Flower-Komposttee angesetzt, welchen es dann morgen gibt. Sooo Leute, genug geredet. Long story short: Wir sind wieder on track und bewegen uns mit leichten Schwierigkeiten Richtung Finish!! 💪Bleibt also gespannt. Peace!

Llegamos al final, este apartado lo finalizaremos cuando probemos la yerba de momento colores rojizos y azulados, huele como a gas junto un transfondo dulce...una pasada merece la pena probarla!⛽🔥

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. This Purple Punch didn't break soil until 4 days from getting wet. I ended up with a slightly mutated Purple Punch Seedling as she has 3 Cotyledons instead of 2. I have friends who have had this and they told me they turned out just fine yield and terp wise just really based more on the phenotype than the fact that it was genetically mutated. She is in a Solo Cup in ProMix/Perlite under the Spectrum X at 30% Power which is 230 Watts in V1 or Veg Mode. Very happy so far with the light as it is keeping all nodes tight and all leafs green and pointed upwards. I will also this Purple Punch's roots to fill the solo cup and then I will transplant her into a final 3.4 gallon airpot and hook her up to an auto feeding halo coming from a reservoir. When a plants roots are just fertigated in soil they are lacking in oxygen until some drying takes place. In Coco Coir, they have the perfect ratio of H20/Oxygen just after watering and as long as the Coir stays somewhat saturated. This is why high frequency fertigation pays off in coco coir. My plan is to top her one time by day 28 or so at the latest, or at least before she starts flowering, so whatever node that will be depends on her growth between now and then. Thanks for stopping by, be safe and Blaze On! Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

#Crop King Seeds Planting 3 Seeds Using 2 Different Techniques to germinate the Seeds - The First 2 Seeds were germinated (Jul 2nd) using the water / paper towel technique * The seeds were dropped in a half glass of bottled water (It stayed afloat) and kept in a closed dark area. * After 12 Hours the 2 seeds were pushed down to reach the bottom of the glass using my finger. * After 24 hours the 2 seeds were transferred / Now using the paper towel method to complete the germination - The last seed was germinated (Jul 3) using just the paper towel method * This method took longer to break the seed surface. On Jul 6 Decided to transfer all 3 seedlings into the Aerogarden. * Seed G1 had about 5cm roots. Some flowers already sprouting * Seed G2 had about 3 cm roots. Still had seed top. * Seed G3 had only just cracked . No length
