🌼 Week 1: Flower Power Unleashed! 🙌 The excitement is palpable—it's the first week of Flower! 🌸 Our girls are ready to dazzle as it steps into this vibrant phase. Remarkable Stretch: Hold on tight, because the stretch is in full swing! 🚀 Our green companions are reaching for the skies, displaying a wild surge of growth. Brace yourself, as the promise of doubling in size during Flower unveils a spectacle in the making. Strategic Scrogging: To tame the exuberant growth, a well-timed second Scrog at day 7 is in play, orchestrating the dance of foliage. It's a symphony of green, ensuring that our Lemon Orange beauties grow with grace and control. Nutrient Management: The week kicks off with a refreshing flush, bidding farewell to the old nutrients and welcoming a new chapter. From the second day onward, a mindful approach unfolds, with 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a delicate balance, nurturing the plants with the perfect blend for optimal growth.

Threw a shade cloth over the top to help with a week of 90's into the 100's. Due too some time limitations and dry room space restrictions, two of the furthest along girls will be harvested in the next 7-10 days. Then 7-10 days after that the last two will need to be harvested, hoping they get far enough along :).

Trichomes everywhere 👍💚😉

######################################### HARVEST (Day 110 / December 21) ######################################### ----------------------------------------------------------- GROW SUMMARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Grown in 4x4 tent - but I only used 2x4 because of heater and dehumidification but each plant averaged a 2x3 canopy. Each plant had a dedicated light, Sage 2 used the HLG 300 V2 Rspec and Sage 3 used the CMH 315. It's not an accurate comparison of lights because there was some overlap but I'm just utilizing my resources the best I can for this dedicated autoflower tent. The plants were grown in hydroponics using a custom two-site PA hydroponics clone RDWC system with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Coco line, Microbial Mass and Orca for beneficials. All around a pretty easy grow and things went very well. Sage #3 had an issue just after stretch, and I think I burnt it a bit when the CMH was at 22". I also experimented with a single water change which was only performed when switching to bloom nutrients around week 7 and turned out surprisingly well - see the results below. It's always fun to see the two contrasting phenotypes side by side. ----------------------------------------------------------- HARVEST ----------------------------------------------------------- From day 106 to day 110, I just stopped feeding and let the ppms run down. No dark period and no flush. On day 110 they were chopped. I probably could have let them go a bit longer, but my concerns were growing with Sage 3 and the sugar leaves being brittle and flacking off onto lower buds promoting bud rot. The smell of this flower on the plant was funk and was hard to control the funk... even with a carbon filter. Trichomes are slightly amber, mostly milky overall. I'm convinced hydroponics can add a couple of weeks of veg time to the run compared to coco/soil. Cutting the Scrog net was required. ----------------------------------------------------------- DRYING ----------------------------------------------------------- The plants were dried in a 3x3 tent, so I had to cut the plants in 1/4 sections to fit in the 3x3 drying tent for a slow dry. Branches were hung to dry on burlap twine in a tent in complete darkness, branches upside down. The temps were dialed in at 60F by pointing AC at the intake vent on side of the tent. Humidity was dialed in at 63%/60F for 24hr, 62%/60F for the next 48hr. Then 60%/60F for the third day and onward. Ambient RH in my house is 30% due to winter so I had to use two humidifiers and an Inkbird controller to add humidity to the room and block the humidity streams from hitting plants directly. AC Infinity T6/S6 exhaust and intake fans were on the setting of '2' during drying until day 8, then I could turn down to a setting of '1' once the plants were not transpiring excess moisture. I pulled the branches to trim as they were ready around starting around day 12. ----------------------------------------------------------- TRIMMING ----------------------------------------------------------- I trimmed each branch as it was ready but there were times when I pulled more than I could trim without being interrupted so a few branches did overdry on my trim table due to the low ambient RH due to winter. Very few fan leaves on branches, so most trim was all sugar leaves. I went tight with trim to ensure a better flower product and more supply for edible totaling in over 11 ounces of trim product. ----------------------------------------------------------- CURING ----------------------------------------------------------- Flower product was transferred to 1L mason jars averaging 35g of product per jar. I added a mini hygrometer to each jar and boveda/boost 8gr humidity pack. The RH averaged 62-64% when trimmed flowers went in jars. I started by burping once a day for the first seven days, once every other day for the next seven days, rolling jars often. The burp was only for 3-5 second for air exchange. Because the flower product was already at almost 62% when packaged in jars, quite the contrast from drying in summer conditions, I only needed to burp once per day and mold really wasn't much of an issue due to low humidity in winter. ----------------------------------------------------------- YIELD ----------------------------------------------------------- * Weight calculated at 62% humidity after 10 day cure. ============================== FLOWER PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 301g (10.75oz) Sage 3: 377g (13.46oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 670g (23.93oz) ============================== TRIM PRODUCT ============================== Sage 2: 204g Sage 3: 135g ---------------------------------------- Total: 327g (11.67oz) **I went tight on the trim for better flower product and sufficient supply for edibles, and is calculated in overall yield. ** All major fan leaves, stems, and branches removed from trim product. ============================== TOTAL OVERALL YIELD ============================== Flower: 678g (24.21oz) Trim: 327g (11.68oz) ---------------------------------------- Total: 1005g (35.89oz) (2.24lb) ============================== SPACE YIELD ============================== 1005g / 12 sqft (3x4 canopy) = 83.75g per sqft ============================== WATTAGE YIELD ============================== 615 Watts / 12 Square Foot (3x4 canopy) = 51.25 watts per sqft. 1005g / 615 watts = 1.63 grams per watt ----------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT TEST ----------------------------------------------------------- On day 10 of cure, I tested the flower and passed some to a few friends for their input. Feedback was positive. One little bud was given to a friend and he reported it stunk his entire car. Sticky, trichome-covered fire! Smoke is smooth, no cough. White ash. The 60/40 (sativa/indica) is a blend that is on point. Sage Scout definitely is a heavy hitter; upwards of 3.5 hour noticeable head/body change with no couchlock at the end. In regards to flavor and smell, it's not fully there yet on only day 10 of cure. The flavors/scents are still muted but I expect the flavours to prevail after 6-8 weeks of curing. Very funky and strong smell that bursts past the mason jar lids. Piney sweet scent. ----------------------------------------------------------- REGRETS ----------------------------------------------------------- Honestly, I only have two regrets with this run. 1. More aggressive lolipopping! I just feel if I had lolipopped more, I would have had a denser product overall. The flower product is indeed dense, and all in all, I'm happy with the result, but it's I'm adding as a reminder for the next run. I need to be more selective. 2. I slacked on the training of Sage #2 due to the hard-to-reach factor which probably affected about additional 1-2 oz of yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- NEXT RUN ----------------------------------------------------------- 1. I’m was very happy with Microbial Mass product in combination with Orca. Once again, I was overall happy with Advanced Coco blend for RWDC. I went with Coco product because Coco is similar to hydroponics, the AN Coco line just has added Calmag to it. I didn’t really see any issues with the AN Coco line and I like the autonomous factor of AN sensi products because my photoperiod tent takes some of my attention, so it is nice to have this autolower tent on auto-pilot for the majority of the grow. 2. When harvesting, I did find a few spots of concern in the root system, so I will definitely upgrade the pump from 250gph to a 400gph for better flow to combat that issue. 3. My experiment with a single water change when switching to bloom nutrients was a surprising result. Sage 2 (purple pheno) performed well with no deficiencies which I had trouble sorting out the deficiency on Sage 3. I continue to wonder if it was salt build-up, but it seemed to start shortly after the change to bloom nutrients so maybe it was a nitrogen/calmag issue. I may add an additional water change mid-flower (week 11) to the next run and see if it makes any difference is the same conditions happen. 4. I'll also like to move the two-site system to the front of the tent for better accessibility to train the plants. 5. I'm also looking at the floorplan of the tent and I think I can run a single system in parallel next to this two-site system and still have room for heater/dehumidifier and still keep accessibility for training. ----------------------------------------------------------- FINAL THOUGHTS ----------------------------------------------------------- Night Owl genetics has performed once again in my RDWC setup. I also feel a dedicated light for each plant really helped improve the yield. If I calculate a 2x3 space for each plant, with a total of 615 watts / 12 sq ft, running at 51.25 watts per square foot is the result. In regards to gram per watt, I've calculated the result is nearly 1.63 gram per watt when using 1005g / 615 watts. My goal was a pound per plant, I was happy to exceed that goal line with autoflowers with 2.24lb total yield. ----------------------------------------------------------- THE END ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for checking out my diary! I typically journal in my notebook but I put some time and effort into documenting my grows on this platform in hopes it will help a new or experienced grower with their DWC journey. Any questions or suggestions are welcomed. Happy growing!

I think this should be the last week of flower, as the trichomes are almost completely cloudy and some start to turn a light amber. I’ll let them sleep in complete darkness for two days at the end of week to slowly start the drying process and push some colour. I’m more then satisfied with how my first run turned out so far, I could have done a lot of thing better, but I’m still happy with the end result. I learned a lot from my first grow, also with your help :) Thanks to everyone who was giving me advice or helping me out with my questions I really wouldn’t have thought, that special queen 1 has such an amazing smell, it’s crazy how different all 4 smell and feel. Four completely different phenotypes, but really happy with every single one of them. Update Day 119/ Harvest Today I cut the plants and hang them in my grow tent for drying, trying to get around 60% humidity and 20C. Fans on level 3 one on the top one at the bottom. I’ll update as soon as they are dry

Sacitrus Bomb Auto 🌱 22/08/2024 Ph: 6.2 ≈ 24°C 3Days later (25/08) planted the seed that has has 1cm root. Feel free to leave any tips, thoughts, general input! Always keen to grow myself 😎

Was a great week for this girl, my other 3 x Ayahuasca Purples in the same RDWC system were showing slight nutrient burn and PPM was a bit high at the end of last week. I dropped the PPM down to 450ppm for the other plants but this girls seams to take whatever I give her. She’s starting to put on the bud now and everything’s been smooth sailing so far for this Alien Technology girl. I added a 2 x 1000w(180w actual) Morison LED’s to this tent as well, 1 directly above this girl angled into the tent. Figured I had them sitting doing nothing so I might as well get some extra light wavelengths my HPS doesn’t really push out. Temps on the canopy top are around 24c for her, and light meter shows about 55 DLI from the HPS when directly above her. I can’t measure what the HPS and LED combined are, but with the angled LED I am only seeing between 20-35 DLI from only the LED when the HPS is on the other side of the tent. So kind of an experiment to see if the added Lum’s and light spectrums help. Well that’s it for this week, end of week 4 and all is good. Cheers 💨

This is my 3rd week of flower after months of struggles, I was about to cut them off and abort the grow ... My plants were hit with yellowing tops and leaves were being burnt for no apparent cause. I installed a chiller, reduced EC, distanced the light and still ... Only to find out that calcium toxicity was the culprit .... It caused a potassium lock out that literally burned the leaves and stunted growth completely ... They looked like seedlings despite well crossing the vegetative stage ... Flushed my tank ... removed the calcium completely and the magic started ... This week I’m attaching this beautiful time lapse video of my girls coming back from the dead and filling out my tent space completely! :)

Week 1 of flower for White Widow by Greenhouseseedco Fed her 2.7g of BioBloom per L of soil, watered that in and flipped it to flower 24hours ago. As more room opens up in the tent ill spread her out a little more. Also wont be defoliating unless necessary as I'm trying to bring up the humidity a little.

DAY 21 F: Hi all. Another productive week for the fast buds jungle and the #Fc3000 . The room is full of limbs , leaves and chunky stalks all rounded off with sexy little budlets dancing in the wind for me every time I open the tent . Makes me feel like Hugh Heffner !!!. All of the plants have finished their stretch totally now and a huge surprise has been the midget Mexican airline now being the same height as her sister. I expected her to stay smaller due to the past growing period ect.. but she has somehow hit the same height now. Her buds are not as advanced as the #2 M.a but time should change that too. #1 is forming some very nice looking open flowers now with bundles of fresh pistils to them too. Both of the six Shooter are looking productive in their different set ups. The #1 has reached around 2ft and has some very nice sites setting up now. #2 has been more spread horizontally and is a long distance from the light too. With the canopy height being dictated by the huge Strawberry Pie girls , I felt it would be a good way to see how far away the light can help develop buds rather than supercrop all the big girls for one squat lady. So far the amount of bud sites is promising and it does look as though they are getting enough to develop. Both of the Strawberry pie have really hit their peak with at least 2.5ft tops. Buds are for.ing nicely and the sides are also well developed and in good positions for their own light grabs. It does give hope of some bigger buds than the long node lengths would suggest. Let's see in a few weeks shall we. Lol They had a top dress of charge and life-cycle too to help boost the flowering stage a little. Soil is performing as expected and the watering is going well so far with no excesses either way . Until next time growmies , be safe and well.

Hey everyone 😃. This week she has done great 👍. It was done again on all the drifted topping and sprayed one last time with neem oil so that the last trips are finally gone 😁. We haven't had any pests for so many years and all of a sudden we have such little shit parts 😅. This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l of water. GHSC enhancer was added during a pouring (1 g per l) The tent was cleaned every day this week and the plants were checked for health. The humidifier is filled once a day. Next week I will decide how I will continue the training because I have space again in the flower tent 😀. Until then, I wish you and your families a good start into the new year 2021 🙏🏻.

You walk into the back yard and it’s a straight face punch of smells. Looking like some indoor rn moved all plants to safer place in case storm hits so now I atleast have a wind break

Skywalker rounding the corner. Harvested 8/7 @ Day 76 from sprout Blueberry bulking up. Glueberry og done stretching and bulking up now

| 📅 Week 3 | | 💡 562w 📏40' | | 🌡️️🌞 82 - 86 | | 🌡️️🌑 77 - 82 | _______________________________________________________________________________________ 11/01 - Finale Hydro-ton added. Water Ph'ed. Temperature maxed out at 88 the last 24 hours. Sitting between 77 and 82 during nights. 11/02 - Reservoir Change today. High of 86! thankfully the days have been cool. 11/03 - Girls are looking healthy. I am looking to increase the air movement in the tent for better airflow. 11/04 - Leaves showing curling at the edges signaling a cal/mag problem. Probably from the PH. Adjusted Ph back down to 5.8 11/05 - Leave curling has died down but still remains slightly. Thinking humidity is low. Will keep an eye on it. 11/06 - Small nitrogen deficiency. After Ph adjustment yesterday they have started to rebound fast. Looking good! 11/07 - Did some LST. Temperatures sitting around 75-84. RH to low around 35%

Day 31 - omg more calcium deficiency sings, unbelievable!!! The liquid calcium I’ve bought suggests 5ml/L per week, this is the second time this week I’m supplementing it. I did major bending this morning, almost everything jumped on square, it took me almost two hours. I broke two small shootings in the process, RIP Day 33 Reservoir refill, in 20L: Megacrop A 9g Megacrop B 11g Epsom 4g Gypsum 6g Sulfuric acid 6,5ml

Things are going pretty well. 🙂 I am just about to start flushing. Buds are swelling up and getting denser every day. Getting close to the finish line. 😎 I'll update throughout the week.

This week ia am planning to let it grow just like this. Hopefully I will receive a plant camera next week to monitor my VPD. Also added an IRheater to keep temperature stable The infrared heater does its job, but I find it a waste of electricity, 3.6 kWh in one night. So I've decided to install a gas heater instead, which delivers the same result at a much lower cost and also provides additional CO2. The heater can then keep the temperature above 21˚C with the lights off. The natural gas heater will be used with the lights on. I need to quickly find a CO2 sensor because too much CO2 has a counterproductive effect, as I've already noticed. Approximately 1200 PPM at 32˚C is optimal as long as I can maintain a DLI of 35. Great technology is on the way. Added: Installed CO2 burner, run it for 6 minutes every hour. Temp raises from 22˚C to 27˚C in about 7 minutes. CO2 detector (just colors, no values) doesn't alarm so not above 1500PPM CO monitor also no alarm :) Running for 4 hours now and a visible change is there. Tomorrow I will know if it is ok or not. Added a few pictures. Lets see if we can see the difference tomorrow. 26-05: Added Dimlux Maxi controller for CO2 and VPD. Works nice. 28-05: Topped a few 31-05 Added additional 300W to heat the stuff up. RH is stable but high on 72%. Could add a dehumidifier but since CO2 is already there and my VPD is around 0.8 I thought adding light would be cheaper. Can go up to 33˚C before my floor is heating up too much. Also cleaned the watertank. So from now on they are on Ata Max
