Hello Babys

DAY 21 FLOWERING: Well it had to happen eventually!!! . I knew it would come to this point.....I had to be brutal and practical as I evicted the Gorilla cookies and the mutant Northern light to a different space... I now have the #1 Northern lights and the Grandaddys Mimosa directly under the XS1500 to really develop them both to the best I can. The light has done a great job developing all 5 to this point and I do think it could have finished them all at a push but , I think seeing how it can grow 2 auto plants in a 2x2 space will be worth the change of plan. I am impressed with this little light and never expected such a growth rate . I really would love to test their new p4000 to see what that beast can do. The northern lights has really worked hard this week on her bud structuring , she looks like she will be stacking her colas on each limb , just the way we like em in the space I have. I did take a little more weak lower growth out of her to focus on the stronger mains as we have hit the point of no more defol . She wont regrow leaf after this point now so the ones remaining will be all she has to power the photosynthesis during flowering. Sugar leaves do not do the same work as the fan leaves and with them being autos , I feel we need the extra boost more than in a photoperiod run. She looks like stretch has finished now too so her size is nice and stocky so she wont need to transfer nutes too far from the roots either. Grandaddys mimosa is also really developing some nice looking golf ball buds all over. She looks like she will be a long cola girl too which is perfect to keep the canopy and light distribution as even as possible with the Northern lights too. She smells a little fruity already and the hint of her Mimosa lemon father is also really evident. So far so good . The 2 Gorilla cookies and the other northern lights are all looking great after being grown under this light and I will include their harvest data in the diary at the end to avoid the diary going haywire. All in all this is going great now and continues to impress me with the capability of this unit. Come on #viparspectra , send me a p4000. Lol Be safe and well growmies.

Starting week 7 . Nice purple pistils have shown themselves and the flower are starting to take form. The plants have loved the vodoo juice since the roots have developed more than they used to and the water has never been so clean , and finally the conditions of the growbox are optimal. The plants give a nice citrus and pine smell to the room i am using 80% flowering nutes and removing the b1supermax i am also making sure the plant are going to uptake all the full bloom solution from next week by triggering even more the plant with a. 12/12 light schedule week

Ok

Viene excelente a pesar del stress de las semanas anteriores, se viene un upgrade!! Nuevo led en camino! Marsled sunflash 153 justo para la mejor etapa luego del estiramiento. ¿Algún cambio que harían? Los escucho!!

Girls are growing strong another 1500 ppm 3.0 ec feed yesterday. Im not feeling well today so just a quick update. Thanks for all the looks and likes. It's a great growmunity here.

Easy to grow— smells like citrus gas. Really enjoy this smoke and the plant.

It's week 7 and all is looking great! She is getting super frosty and starting to present some really nice purpling. She smells of fuel right now. She is incredibly resinous and frosty! She was great the first time I ran her, but she is on a whole other lever under these quantum boards! This is going to be some very potent medicine! Now on to the details! ________________________________ 9/20 - Day 44 of Bloom: 🚿FEED DAY!🚿 She received approximately 3.25 gallons of nutrient solution.

New flowering continues to develop on this lady, she seems to be swelling up day by day. Yellowing of the fan leaves has started which usually means it's time to flush, I need to check the trichomes to see how amber they appear before I do just in case the flavour or yield could be effected.

July 29th There’s the stretch I forgot about lol, I couldn’t make the plants any shorter to my own knowledge and let them rise up, later learned I could’ve super cropped them but it’s alright lol, live and learn

Esta semana volvió a tener todas las hojas sanas. Le complete de tierra las macetas y les hice supercropping para controlar la altura porque no se cuando van a florar

Semaine 6 – Transition Floraison : Pistils et Défis Nutritionnels Jour 35–41 (17 avril – 23 mai) La semaine 6 marque officiellement l’entrée en floraison. Gorilla Cookies a ouvert le bal avec ses premiers pistils la semaine passée, suivie par Toof Decay. Les autres génétiques (Mephisto’s Wedding, Hubbabubbasmelloscope) montrent des signes avant-coureurs de floraison. L’environnement reste stable : 24–25°C, RH 62–64%, VPD 1.17–1.21 kPa, conditions proches de l’idéal. Nutrition et PPM Transition vers Bud Ignitor (1 ml/L) et maintien du GMB 1:1:1 à 1.5 ml/L. Cal/Mag augmenté à 2 ml/L. = ~570–610 ppm réels. Problèmes identifiés Carence en Cal/Mag sur Hubbabubbasmelloscope et Gorilla Cookies (chlorose interveinal, feuillage jaune). Traitement direct : 2–3 ml/L Cal/Mag appliqué par pot. Réaction positive après 3–4 jours. Observation critique : les 4 plants en AutoPot (AQUAValve 5.0) montrent 2x moins de vigueur que les 3 plants en bases AC Infinity avec les pots en tissus. Hypothèse : le système AQUAValve maintient le substrat trop humide en continu, tandis que les bases AC Infinity crée une meilleure oxygénation. Aussi, c'est seulement sur les auto pots que j'ai observé des carences, peut-être dû à un blocage nutritionnel. À évaluer pour les futures canopées. Lumière et PPFD IF500 (500w) + Mars Hydro 500w maintiennent 660–700 µmol. Pas de stress lumineux, feuillage bien coloré (sauf carence identifiée). Statut réservoir 47L, 15L pots coco 100%. Consommation d’eau stable. Changement complet prévu mi-floraison. Prochaine semaine : suivi de la carence corrigée, ajustement graduel du calendrier nutritionnel Advanced Nutrients pour la phase de développement floral.

Activation tardive recommandée→ Jour 25–30, pas jour 17 1. Monitoring pH hebdo obligatoire → Coco + air dômes = dérive pH naturelle 1. Eau stagnante = problème→ Même avec nutriments corrects, pH alcalin = blocage Sur la coco neuve - Nécessite ajustement pH plus fréquent en début - Se stabilise après 3–4 semaines d’utilisation - Minéraux s’accumulent lentement → nettoyage hebdo bénéfique Choix système pour Run #3 AutoPot déclassé pour prochaines runs - Passage à : 8× bases AC Infinity + 8× flottes automatiques individuelles - Avantage : drainage régulier, pas de stagnation, PPM/pH plus stables - Setup réel : coco/Bio-Urbain, 5 gallons, 75L réservoir centralisé DONNÉES COMPLÈTES CONCLUSION Problème :Eau stagnante + pH alcalin = blocage nutritionnel (pas déficience) Solution : Correction pH + Cal/Mag localisé + routine hebdo de monitoring Statut : Résolu, plants en rétablissement, early flower progression normale Impact rendement : Minimal — correction avant dégâts sévères

They still get bigger. I will flush them 1 more time and then they are ready for the 2 days of full darkness. Cant wait to try those crazy frosty buds. Look at those colours 🔥

I have no problem with the plant so far 👍 Love water and fertilizer this is my secret 😁 🙏

Now we're back on track with the 6 week old mother plant Diary. The last couple of weeks were showing the pollen Donors, which are a week ahead of the seed mothers. I chose the 2 frostiest, and most Sherbert smelling out of the 5 potential "Seed Mothers" that I grew to pollinate. I pollinated all the tops, and let them sit in that enclosed room, by a window for 12hrs., then I saturated them with water to kill any stray pollen. The next day, in fresh clothes, I moved them back to the grow room, which is a 10' x 10' room, but I'm basically growing in a 4' x 4' area, under a MarsHydro TS3000. In 35 days we should have ripe fem seeds!

Added some CO2 to help with photosynthesis while at higher temps. These ladies really blew up at the end of last week and this week! The smell has really starting to be noticeable and pistols / flowers are finally showing! Side note I finally got more seeds to replace the one I lost early on. These ladies are really starting to become a treasure. Ended my LST this week.

About 3 week into flower packing in tons of frost it amazing smooth sailing can wait to see this finished product

NOTE 1: Afgooey Auto pheno #3 turns out it's a MALE. Resembled nothing like her two sisters ran at the same time. In fact, I had to move her to the 12/12 tent to initiate flowering. Little did I know or expect She would be a He. Lola by the Kinks is rattling round my brain about now ;) FEEL FREE TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ;) 2x4 French Macaron - at the time of this posting, FM is heading into week 8 flower. Second extensive flushing w/fresh rain water due to acidic conditions (ph >5). Been struggling with ph the entire flowering. I speculate ph issues due to over feeding. Ph is roughly 5.8 to 6.0 after flushing. At this point, flushing with plain RO water until harvest. NOTE 2: I've introduced two 5 gallon bubble buckets into the 2x4 grow tent. Both buckets have medium air stones running from a 125 gph air pump. Given French Macaron isn't scheduled for harvest until mid-January, I might not have cutting ready. First grow may have to be from seed. Update later. 3x3 Afgooey Autos and clones from previous grow - Afgooey #1 and #2 are firing on all cylinders. #2 running a bit acidic (>5), so flushed back to neutral with roughly 7-8 gallons of fresh rain water ph at 7.0 to 7.2. Same with clones (i.e., ph very low). Flushed with fresh rain water too. A couple days later plants look so much better. Wait till plants nearly dry before next watering. Trimmed and cleaned up three of the clones growing weird. Felt a bit like trimming a bonzai tree. Let's see how they respond.
