Week one of flower is complete! These babies are really starting to fill out. I’m definitely going to need to stay on top of defoliating in order to maintain a good airflow and avoid pockets of humidity throughout flower. The 4 Chicken n Wafflez are growing vigorously and with great, similar structure, except for the back left, which may be squatter because of the fan that was above it for the first several weeks after transplant. I’m excited for the next couple of weeks to see this tent really start to see this tent come into its own. Happy Growing!

So grow started with lots of trouble.heat ..bugs .. temperature swings and at the end cold rainy weather.how ever I'm impressed by the bounce back.. heard lots of bad story's over this breeder and the automatics I had where in deed very disappointing. So this mighty Amstel freezeland 2.0.. Liked the growth and loved to see it working.next year I try to grow them somewhere in nature.think they are strong enough.

Doggo update Couple vids sprinkled in here. Love doing slo-mo with frisbee throws and treats catching in their mouth. Slo Mo vids didn’t upload slo mo so I had to go thru and edit them and screen record it just to get them in slow mo on the site but they’re worth it Dukes ear has been bugging him and so he pins it down sometimes with the other ear straight up and he looks goofy as hell.

2/18: 4 weeks since we planted them. Some of the new nodes since topping are starting to come in. Also finally got to doing some lst. First time, so I didn't rlly know what I was doing all that much, but my main goal was to pull branches outward and have more light reaching all the nodes. I should definitely have topped and done LST earlier, but oh well, now I know for next time. I also removed some of the new fan leaves that were covering the new nodes. My roommate wanted to experiment with the smallest one so removed some of its big fan leaves. I don't really think that was the right call, but whatever we'll see what happens. Would also have loved to try mainlining but its also pretty late for that. It would have slowed down veg quite a bit too, and since we have to go home from college in early may, they have to be harvested by then. Gonna water later this afternoon as well. 2/19: Watered them last night. 0.75 gallons each. 4 tsp grow big, 6 tsp big bloom, 1.5 tsp calimagic per 2 gallons. I'm not sure why I didn't realize earlier I can just partially tuck the higher fan leaves under the lower nodes coming in. It makes the plant look droopy since big leaves are tucked, but I feel like it helps the lower nodes receive light and catch up, while being able to keep the fan leaves without cutting them. The small plant has 10 main nodes, and the rest have between 12-14, with many smaller additional nodes coming in under. I'm not sure how much I should try to grow these smaller nodes on the lower branches, or if I should just snip them off. Main focus right now is to get the nodes at similar hight and horizontal grow. 2/23: Watered this morning. Should have watered last night but my roommates were asleep and I was a bit too lazy to do it myself (took me an hour last time to do it all myself). I think I'm gonna start filling up a 5 gallon bucket instead of the 2 gallon one I was using, since I won't have to spend as much time refilling the water, nutrients, and get correct ph. Nutes doseage was 3 tsp grow big, 6 tsp big bloom, 2 tsp calimagic per 2 gallons. Roughly 0.8 gallons each plant. Ran out of big bloom for a few of the plants, but I don't think that should cause any big issues. Me and my roommate were debating if we should feed them nutes this water, or do straight water and calmag. Ended up feeding them since I didn't think we already have much salt buildup, but I think we will do a straight water and calmag flush next time. I also remembered we have a TDS meter, so I used it for the first time. Water in was about 750 or so ppm, and runoff was about 1350. I think thats kinda high for runoff, but like I said we will flush next time, and plants look healthy for the most part. Will definitely look more into that starting now. Also, the ph meter I had previously bought is complete garbage, so I had only been setting ph to around 6.2-6.5 with one of those visual mixing solution kit. I'd been doing this before mixing nutrients, and hoping that they don't throw the ph values off too much. I know this is pretty reckless and stupid, but it seems to somehow be working for now. I think it's probably a better idea we get a working ph meter so we can make sure levels are good after mixing in nutrients, but I'm feeling a bit lazy and frugal to buy a meter, so we'll see. Overall, plants look fairly healthy. They were a bit droopy today because I think I waited a bit too long before watering them, but oh well. One of the two plants that is a leggier and less bushy phenotype is turning pretty yellow however. I'm assuming it's a nitrogen deficiency but I'm not certain. Seems to have gotten a bit worse the last few days, but I'm hoping things will sort themselves out. Might also just up the doseage for grow big, which contains more nitrogen than big bloom. On a few of the other plants, the older and lower fan leaves also seemed to have some spotting resulting from calcium deficiency. Newer leaves all seem fine, and with the recentish addition of calmagic, I'm hoping this won't be an issue going forward. Have also been snipping very small nodes that are coming in on the lower branches. Not snipping them all, just trying to predict which ones have a chance at reaching quality light and developing into good colas. Anything I think will turn into larf im just snipping. Looking back on the last few weeks, there are a lot of things I have learned that I hope to carry over to our next grow next year. I should have started lst and topping sooner, I understand how much and often to water them much better now, and there are a plethora of other small things that I have learned. I wish I didn't cut corners on some small things and overall was a bit more attentive to details, but for how well it seems to be going, I really can't complain. I'm incredibly stoked about how this is going, and I still can't believe I'm growing these plants with my roommates in our garage as a college student.

Slight Changes in nutes: Current feeding FloraMicro 4ml gal FloraBloom 8ml gal SM-90 2.5ml gal Cannazym 2.5ml Gal Ful-Potential 2.5ml gal Liquid Koolbloom 2.5ml gal Floralicious Plus 1ml gal ArmorSI 1ml gal CaliMagic 2.5ml gal FloraNectar 5ml gal Drip Clean 0.4ml gal 9/6/17 A couple VERY LARGE buds tipped over and i didn't notice immediately. I found them and i think i staked them back to health in time, no noticeable damage, more blindsided while realizing the volume and coming to grips with the next step. the reality of the bounty of my garden is dawning on me, and i am a bit intimidated. by the dry, as i am in low RH. by the cure, as i have never done one before. by killing my girls, as they are lovely to ease my anxiety, i ordered 20 hydrometers and increased my jar count from 36 quart jars by adding a dozen 1/2 gallon jars. it is obvious some of the buds need bigger jars to stay intact during the cure. i skipped the boveda packs for now. they are amazon prime away in an emergency, but i figure my attentiveness will be enough, at least this first grow; plenty of people did it right before me without the boveda packs, and when i can pay less per hydrometer than boveda pack... it becomes an interesting decision. i choose old school... for now (mind subject to change) end game is WAY more intimidating than dropping that seed into that cup of water. no one told me it would be this stressful! i hope i do them well during this next phase and these next few weeks. they certainly appear to have done me well 9/7/17 I have a confession to make. When I thought the plants got stunted by the heat, I considered pulling the plants and starting over. Boy an I glad that I didn't. I didn't know what I didn't know. What stopped me was reading a forum post somewhere and a guy was frustrated with his grow and was thinking of pulling it (i think he only had 1 plant). Someone responded to him with very prolific questions. "And then what? Plant another and make the same mistake again? Why don't you finish her out so on your next grow you know better what not to do?" Bingo. He wasn't even talking to me, but he was speaking directly at my situation (or so I thought). I decided to finish them, even if they were stunted dwarfs (SPOILER ALERT: They aren't, I was wrong, they were anything BUT stunted) I am really glad I found that advice because who knows if I would have went through with it if this gentleman hadn't given me a moment of clarity. So if you are frustrated by your first grow, I would advise to finish the grow no matter what (unless, obviously, its a male or moldy or something that DEMANDS the plant be culled) and learn what to do better for next time. I thought mine were gonna be bonzai plants. Not even considering the money wasted and the time wasted, I would have missed out on what the plants have taught me and a tent full of superstars. Now, as I am approaching the end, I need some advice. Aside from trics, is there any other way to determine approx how long left in the grow? I need to change my nutes to end stage stuff (adding dry koolbloom, phasing out unneeded nutes, and finally the flush. ) I am super worried about getting the timing right. Besides trics, are there any other clear signals that we are rounding the corner to the final stretch? Thanks in advance. Also, I live in a dry environment. A desert, actually. For real. It seems like dry trimming will be very important for me if I do not want it to smell like alfalfa after the cure. Any thoughts on dry trimming? I know it is more work, but the results seem better. My plan, so far, is to hang the entire plant upside down in 1 piece to dry. The only question is, how many of the large fan leaves to leave on. Some leave all, some leave only the small ones in the buds. Any thoughts will help me decide along with my other research. Thanks!

This is my first organic grow and they are moving a lot slower then I’m use to I think I’ve stunted one but I’m gonna let her keep growing she may take off here soon all the girls are healthy just barely a lil tip burn besides that they are loving life shoutout to fastbuds I have been training them a lot Tieing down every branch and node I accidentally topped one of the cherry colas but I’m ok with that cause I’ve topped autos in the past and had great results so I don’t mind just started my instagram its kygrow42 go check it out and follow my content theres a lot more to come remember it’s 420 somewhere stay tuned grow love peace

This is week 8 day 4 video. I have tried about 30g in testers rapid 1:05 dry. I’m waiting on seeds to finish. Plants are 7ft tall super cropped 3x on some branches and monsters just pop up. I highly don’t recommend super ripping or manipulating breaking stems. You will have jungles and delicious harvest. Some tops were touching doides so lights were raised to maximum tent ceiling. Every day is 2tbsp soluble pk into 5 gal water, 1/2-1tbsp folvic acid, sometimes humid acid, sometimes fishsh!t, sometimes microbial mass. 2 times only I added 1tbsp of magnesium phosphate into5gal. Every watering in 5gal has 2tbsp of carbs, I don’t use black molasses but it’s bluesky organic booster. Buds smell sweet, 2 and 3 are where the terps are but no1 is frosty af. 2 is og. As numbers left to right. Split between the middle bar. Running about 840w. 640is my reg along with 5x 20w blurples and my friends 100w “lm301h” but I beg to differ. My 640w is lm301h. I wish I had more light but I am not a facility. I just have a 4x8x7h. I’m very happy with this grow. Everything is to the max been flushing last week and it’s burning my plants lol. Just 1tbsp ph down. I have not been using ph down in my entire flower because the soluble pk 1-1.5 tbsp per 5gal water is enough to lower and make things happy. Every day is watering and every plant gets 1gal water daily. They could do a lot more but I don’t have the space as you can see ❤️

The home stretch week 8 of flower, Got a good look under normal light and they are really dark green. I think there is to much Nitrogen in the mix I was going to give one last feeding of Honey Chome and King Kola but I am on the fence... just water this last cycle and I think that's all I'll give until finish, maybe some Honey Chome in the next watering, I really want them to start to fade. and the dark green is freaking me out a little to much N. They are starting to frost up and they are SATIVA dominate strains looks like another 3-4 weeks before they finish. The smell is different between the two strains, The Haze is in both for sure with the earthy-sweet citrus profiles with an almost a sweet-and-sour flavor but there is a definite difference between the two, The Blue Dream Haze is frosty for sure and has a Pine/Fuel/Sweet smell and the Strawberry Ice is Way Fruity/Sweet/Pine vey complex smells and they are starting to smell need to change the carbon filter, I was hoping to do it after they come down but it might need to be changed sooner. so Enjoy the Pics and the Video Time lapse. Let me know what you think about the green in the leaves and any experienced Haze Growers please chime in on the 10-12 weeks I want to go in flower should I feed one more time or just start the flush this soon? Let me know, Stay safe. I'm waiting to get my vaccine I am so ready to share a huge doobie with fellow smokers once the pandemic is over. See ya next week.

Plant suffered of poor quality water, problems of transpiration and nutrients absorption due to pH unbalanced values, low humidity level, both light and ventilation intensity excess. Humidity is under control: stabilised between 45% and 50% continuously. pH has been fixed to 6.0 in all H2O solutions. Exhaust fan has been equipped of a rotative knob control in order to settle power: once desired humidity level is overpassed ventilation can be returned to max speed in order to maintain 24,5 Celsius degrees. LED light cycle 24/0 TOTAL AGRO at maximum intensity has been abandoned for energy and its cost savings purpose in relation with the final scope and entropy reduction effectiveness : Main+ 100 Blue+ 100 Red+ 100 LED Light Spectrum has been settled in order to give a natural Sun Dawn/Sunset effect maintaining the 24/0 cycle: 09:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 85 Red+ 50 10:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 90 Red+ 50 11:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 95 Red+ 50 12:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 13:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 14:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 15:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 16:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 17:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 18:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 100 Red+ 50 19:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 95 Red+ 45 20:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 90 Red+ 40 21:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 85 Red+ 35 22:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 80 Red+ 30 23:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 75 Red+ 25 00:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 01:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 02:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 03:00 Main+ 25 Blue+ 55 Red+ 25 04:00 Main+ 30 Blue+ 60 Red+ 30 05:00 Main+ 35 Blue+ 65 Red+ 35 06:00 Main+ 40 Blue+ 70 Red+ 40 07:00 Main+ 45 Blue+ 75 Red+ 45 08:00 Main+ 50 Blue+ 80 Red+ 50 Note: ORTOLED SERIE K is intrinsically provided of Sunrise/Sunset function which enables a smooth, uniform and gradual variation of light intensity during time without generating any kind of shock from sudden switching on or off, or changes in power and spectrum value. Blue light parameter overwhelms in this stage in order to encourage vegetative growth, compactness, and bushiness and photomorphogenesis, its development, including leaf expansion, stem elongation, and overall plant architecture. Decreased light intensity during night cycle should help regulate phototropism and reduce light stress. The plant well reacted to the care it received and the measures put in place, which given the visible critical health condition, were drastic and extreme. Possible combination of over feeding, overwatering and excess of light, responding to stress to be identified, on the basis of following visible symptoms : - leaves have turned thick, fat, dark deep green; - leaves start curling; - leaves hint a deep yellow hue; - new leaves are born with light green and yellow tips; - leaves report burnings such as fresh black spots which turn into dry brown spots; - 1 leaf at the third node is born with 4 tips, the second one is a 5 tips leaf correctly. Additional considerations to be uploaded asap regarding : - Biochar pH 8,5; - Biochar nutrients absorption and retention capacity in relation with organic growing; - Biochar and Coco Coir micro and macro nutrients binding capacity; - moon effect during plant life cycle; - huge vitality has been noticed during crescent moon appearance; - plant is asking for more and more feeding; - growing will be abandoned for no more than 96 hours therefore a self irrigating cotton rope wick system has been implemented. Added nutrients : Biobizz_ Alg-A-Mic - FishMix Bionova_ Ph+/Ph-

Week 3 of flower and decided to start using PLAGRON: Green Sensation a week earlier. Pistils are appearing and maybe need some phosphorous and potassium. Quite a bit of stretching going on. Had to bend back a few stems to try even out canopy. Some burnt tips? From what? No idea. One of the strawberry cough seems to be taking longer to transition, still stretching and no pistils. Apart from the tip burns, which I’m hoping is because of my light being too close. (Adjusted higher now) It seems to be going OK, nothing great….

05/03 - I topped both ladies last week and the new growth has already begun - Applied a hard LST pull down to give me light coverage in the middle of the the ladies - I will be topping one more time maybe two and that will be it for topping - Increased nutrient feed to assist in recovery after LST and topping.

Week 5 Veg and things are cruising along. The lanky girl in the 2 gal pot is starting to look better structure wise than the other 5. Thinking about transferring her to a 7 gallon pot for clones! The Tri leaf mutation is really taking off, throwing tops for days with out training or topping. 3 of the ladies have been topped to make bushes and the other are growing natural with some defoliation.
