As promised β€” I fixed everything, dialed it in πŸ™‚ Plants are doing great now, growing fast and looking healthy. You often see people asking: β€œMy runoff pH keeps dropping, what should I do?” I used to recommend increasing potassium, even though at that point it was just a theoretical assumption β€” I hadn’t actually tested it yet. Well… now I have. And it works. Situation: Input pH is stable around ~5.8, but runoff pH keeps dropping over time (in my case down to 5.2, even 4.7 on one plant). At the same time, EC is either dropping or at least not increasing. I tried light flushing β€” yes, it helps temporarily, but: Only short-term β€” next day pH drops again Adds unnecessary stress to the plant (basically suffocating the roots) Solution: Increase potassium. First, I boosted it by about +50%, then added another +30% on top of that. Example: I had ~2 ml per 10L β†’ increased to 4 ml β†’ after 2 days up to 5.5 ml of Canna Mono K. It took about 3 days to stabilize β€” runoff pH went back up to ~5.7–6.0. If you’re using base nutrients: Just get some Canna Mono K β€” it’s made exactly for situations like this. Yeah, I know I’m basically mixing my whole solution around it, even though Canna says you can’t build a complete feed with it alone β€” but in practice, it works for me. Also, side note β€” now 10L lasts me about 2 days. And that’s it for veg β€” switched to 12/12 on day 36.

Had a bad humidity (spots on leave are wet spots that got handled ASAP) scare last week so got a dehumidifier up in there comfortably. Still smooth sailing.

A good week here in the tent. The girls continue to grow and progress. Getting a small amount of water daily. Looking for more progression then I'll transplant the best looking ones.

Ladies are gaining masses of flowers and I had to use a string to get the tops up. They are really heavy πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒ. Halving the nutrients again. They smell amazing and stick like hell .... πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒ

Guys, I haven't done anything this week πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ but i made a lot of content I had a lot of other things to do, so I didn't touch the girls and gave them complete freedom - they turned out to be whores and got very loose πŸ˜‚ This weekend I'm taking the girls to the salon, we'll do a new haircut and then I'll give them 12 hours of rest πŸ’šβ˜˜οΈπŸ₯¦πŸ’•β€οΈπŸ˜

Purple punch genetics, i attempted an fully organic grow and i achieved success in overall. My organic ammendments were 1) EM1 bacteria 2) Earthworm castings 3) freshly caught sea fish waste water( Fish blood+ skin)water 4) pure bat guano(5N:18P:5K:2Mgo) 5) Onion peel compost tea(check out my recipe in Veg mode. 6) Decarbed banana peel crushed powder 7) Aloe vera EM-AS This nutrient feed was easy to get and everything was a by-product of kitchen compost turn into compost tea. A great grow instead i am happy to see these positive outcomes. The smell of this items will stink ,most growers will find the smell unbearable but i see absolute win because of the carbon filter and the smell goes of within 2 days. I am going to measure the outcomes once the buds are dried.

The plant seemed recovered but still dwarfy, because she only got around 6 hours of sunlight, or maybe even less, on my balcony.

it grew too big, i dont know why, i had all sorts of issues with the height and because of that it had lights on the side,I love the taste, and smell, and Indica hit.0 please note - it was 2050 grams wet, and ive pulled 165 grams dry of superb frosty buds,you have to try the OOZE people.00 I think I've fixed the data , if anyone sees anything change on here of other diaries , to something silly please let me know0

Was a lovely plant from start to finish. Very manageable and very much an Indica through and through. I'd probably defoliate and lollipop a little more if i was to grow this strain again.

FERMAKOR BARREL MIX – BASE IN USE (Testing on the Fantasy Feast girl we pulled out of another diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/274722-grow-journal-by-yan402 ) (FERMAKOR BASE SYSTEM KOH VERSION diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/278391-grow-journal-by-yan402) (Urea & Micros on the way β€” first week running without them) πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ 30 L Barrel – Current Working Mix πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ Step 1 – Calcium Nitrate (Part A) 7 L warm water (~35–40 Β°C) β†’ added 45 g Calcinit, stirred until fully clear.

Still Hot AF! We’re at 100F everyday. All except the jelly rancher seem fine with it. The banana mango isn’t bothered. It’s interesting the heat difference on strains. All were planted the same time July 24, for the first time high today will be 90! Not 100! Shooting up like rockets! July 27th - supercropped the banana mango and it’s crazy wide and like a huge solar array! It rained yesterday! Real, soaking, non-drought rain. The plants loved it…

Day 70 really are getting fat now. Is such a leafy strain in itself. Love how the main clone is so big and bushy, can't wait to see all the buds pop. Day 71 weather is rain, rain and a little bit more. Thinking about putting a roof over the top for a little potetion. The normal UK weather is back. We had a good late run tho. Can't wait to start this plant earlier next year. Day 72 gave her a feed today upped it to 5% to 1ltr want her to really start to pop out! Beautiful to grow. Weather, been raining all morning and starting to brighten up this afternoon. Day 73 had to remove the top bud as saw a little fluff deep in there, weather is getting so cold at the moment at night, may more her into a shelter and get a heater for the finishing weeks. Won't be able to take her as long as wanted. Looks amazing tho!!!!!! Had to move her to to the greenhouse, she doesn't like this rainy weather!!!! Day 74 had to take a little bit more off today, this evening weather is so cold at the moment. Meant to get warming in a week or so but don't think she will make it till then. Got a heater in there and a dehumidifier to help. May have to cut her all down a bit before I wanted. Will keep checking her all the time. Smells amazing very sweet with a hint of diesel at the moment. Want that diesel smell to over power the sweet sugars. She does look a bit weird with the top cut off, but had to do what I had to do. Removed all of the larger leaves to help keep down humidity. Day 75 weather is so rainy today, had to give her a pre trim of all the larger leaves today. Buds have really popped in the last couple of day. Kicking myself that I didn't start it early, we had a amazing run of good weather last month. Wish it was the finishing month. But hay ho. Give her the first flush today 1 ltr of just rain water. Day 76 end of week 11 what a week this has been, really have seen them buds fatten an fatten up. Don't think I'm going to run her for another week, thinking about cropping tomorrow evening. The weather was not on my side at the end of this grow. I believe she has done amazing, was truly a dream to grow.

Refurbished soil HVAC system, and increased airflow. To maximize your yield, always aim for 40 moles, or 40,000,000 ΞΌmol, per day. Here is how much PPFD is needed per second for each phase of cannabis growth to achieve the DLI of 40 moles of light per day. I picked up a Quantum PAR Meter, very happy!😁 PAR Meter will show me how much useful radiation between 4-700nm the plant is getting from any given direction. Seedling phase (18hr cycle): 200–300 ΞΌmol m-2 s-1 Vegetative phase (18hr cycle): 617 ΞΌmol m-2 s-1 Flowering phase (12hr cycle): 925 ΞΌmol m-2 s-1, (1500 ΞΌmol m-2 s-1 @1500ppm co2) (ballpark). Anything above 2000 PPM is harmful to both the grower and the crops. The tent is currently reaching 3-400umol ms 1s at soil level (42" inches from light) and 1100umol-1300umol @ 25" Inches.

No nutrients for the next week. Also had some learnings from this grow: 1stly - must adapt a routine feeding schedule/ plan. With a lot more Nitrogen added in veg phase 2ndly - for flowering phase, need to add more of phosphorus and potassium in the feeding plan 3rdly - need to make the bed of soil big so that plant has more space for roots 4thly, - light, light and more light. 5thly - need to research more training methods and improve on them But overall I am happy and I keep learning about the growing process.

got hermies in flower week 2...tried to remove most but it seems they spread their love already....found seeds on all other plants :( plant still looked great and got a great yield!
