Week 5 for this beautiful plants. They just got fed with Goldleaf feterlizer and I added mycos chum and cal-mag to the mix. They are doing great so far with the feeding schedule and they are stretching really good. The pre-flower is going well they are starting to grow.

Day 64.. Just truckin along.. Noticed some nute burn on the leaf tips.. So im going back down to 1000ppm.. Plus the runoff was coming out at like 1700ppm at times.. Even after feed, water, water.. Maybe its just too much for a cup grow also.. Since the water is drunk up so quickly.. Im guessing all the salts are being left behind in the medium.. Plant is still healthy asf.. Calyxes should be fattening up pretty soon! Wish I knew what strain this was.. Ugh... Day 65.. Judging by the calyxes that have already swollen up.. These are gonna be some very nice, dense nugs.. Trichomes everywhere.. Seems like it may not be ready when they say Bloody Skunks are normally ready.. More like a sativa.. I really wish I would have got what I paid for.. For all I know this could be some CBD strain.. Ugh.. Still gonna grow it out and see what happens.. "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit" lol... ... Later... I been watering 2 - 3 times daily.. That's 1 negative thing about growing in cups.. This is my 3rd or 4th I've grown in a cup.. I'm impressed.. Although I do see it hurting yield slightly.. I guess we will see with what comes of this grow... Day 66.. Ok.. So maybe this is a Bloody Skunk... The leaves are starting to show purple.. The stems are deep dark purple in many spots.. Guess that different phenos can sometimes come out looking the exact opposite.. Still learning.. Whoops 😆 ... Later... She's chuggin water like crazy.. It has been pretty warm in the tent lately.. Hard to keep it down but 82F - 84F at the most.. But it sometimes will sit that high.. It has hit 86F - 88F.. I use 2 AcuRite Temp and Humidity Monitors.. One on top of the light and second just randomly placed in the corner on the pole about canopy height but both read only 1F difference. There are some leaves turning slightly purple.. Honestly, I think this light has been burning the tops.. Not very bad.. But I noticed alot of yellowing on my WW at the tops.. And just got worse toward the end.. And a little foxtailing as well, I think.. But I am seeing slight yellowing on the top leaves of this one.. Not bad.. But I do see it slightly.. Other than that.. And the abuse I have put her through.. She is happy and healthy asf.. Still not for sure but this very well may be a damn Bloody Skunk.. Let's see what happens... Day 68.. Just another day flowering.. Pistils are still white as can be.. Calyxes are still tiny but covered in trichomes.. The calyxes should start fattening up... Aaaany day now lol.. Seems like she's gonna be a long flowering girlie.. I've watered with just CalMag the last 3 days but the runoff PPM is still reading 900-1000.. Not sure whats going on.. Guess I should do a major flush and re-feed some time today. I'm thinking of trying out organic dry amendments in coco in the future.. Seems pretty simple.. Just need to time everything right which shouldn't be too difficult.. But anyways.. Its been a good week for the girl.. Nothing like keeping your lady happy! ... Later... I used a whole liter of pHed water without CalMag to flush and mixed up a new batch of nutes. I have added some Floralicious Plus to the mix also.. I'll note that on next weeks page. I only use 5 drops per Liter.. Which is about .25mL as it says to use.. Should help the trichome and terpene production. To be completely honest.. I'm not sure when to add Floralicious Plus.. After adding CalMag?? I've just been adding it after everything.. In this order... Silica, CalMag, Micro, Grow/Bloom, Bloom Booster, Floralicious Plus.. I havent noticed any lockout or anything.. So I guess it's working lol.. But I would still like to know the order it goes in case something starts fucking up. Day 69.. Not sure what these marks are.. It's only on this 1 leaf.. Noticed it yesterday and today it has gotten a little worse.. W... T... F... When I got home from work the tent got up to 90F.. The leaves looked lifeless.. I watered and got the temps down to 85F and 2 hours later she perked back up.. Scared me for a sec.. She's all good now.

It's been a great week for the seedlings! They've really taken off and are looking strong. I'm planning to transplant them into larger pots in the next few days, so next week's photos should show some impressive growth. I'm so excited to see how they thrive in their new homes! I've been giving them distilled water from the start, and I'm still doing that, but I just started adding 10 milliliters of Fox Farm Big Bloom and 1 milliliter of Fox Farm Grow Big. All of the seedlings are doing really well, and there's not really any visible difference between all the ten strains. I started all ten packs of each strain and kept all the best seedlings, so that's why they're all doing so well.

She’s a big one cannot wait to see what she put out. she got unhappy and lost most of the fan leaf but she still going.

Dat 37 fixed temperature and humidity issue and i noticed inmediatly a good reaction to the plant that didn’t show anymore suference during night and it absorbe all The nutrients. Big flowering phase is starting, this week i notice some stretching and i think is really starting now. Let’s see what happen Day 38 low temperature was the problem, now the plants can produce all réaction she needs. Day 42 blue is going really healthy, si smaller than thé orange and nutrients schedule is going well. I ll just rénové top max next week caus i started big bud. So curious about next weeks. Let’s go!

Flush week, Finally through the worst of a nasty heat wave, getting some cooler night temps just in time. Trichomes are showing enough amber Im going to flush for a week or so. These buds have me excited as they are dense and juicy!! The smell has been intoxicating to say the least. Already calling this plant a %100 percent success regardless of issues or harvest or quality, simply based on the fact I just LOVED watching her grow and I swear, just being able to smell her on the daily for the last 6 weeks has really just been incredible…. Say what you want, hopefully she holds up on the smoke test but yea, that smell, I will miss it.

Week 15 - August 09, 2020 -Day 99 08/09: We’re almost at the end. I gave Aaliyah her first watering with plain water. I’m planning on chopping the top colas off of her in a week. Hopefully I can get something out of the lower growth that isn’t getting any light right now. Alexis is coming down in two and Annie in three. Annie has some damage due to the light, but she is hanging in there. Alexis looks the healthiest overall. She stayed pretty compact, so light is still able to reach her lower parts. I think I could’ve had a better grow overall if I would have stuck with using only 3-gallon pots. [General notes: The nutrients on the diary are based off what I’m giving Aaliyah. Alexis is on the previous weeks schedule and Annie in the schedule from two weeks ago.]

Got rid of the root rot. Got some nice looking healthy roots. Got a little too excited with chopping the big fan leaves off. Had to chop the ones on the topt plant it was having some weird spots on the whole leave.

Being lazy this grow yano the score too high

2nd trellis net up , scog is spread nicely. Switching to Bloom formula . Defoliated everything below the first net. Started 12 / 12 light cycle

Still just water and some fish shit Jan. 1 Happy New Year welp to start new year off drop my very cheap PH meter in the bucket water and now the readings are off and I probably watered them today with wrong pH water Sour diesel looks cool didn’t water today soil was still moist but the amnesia haze be

Ok

7/11 Got half in of rain last night. Glad I didn't water. Ph of rain water is very acidic. Added supports to the blueberry cheese in the 50. I just used string and went diagonal and attached to the cage. Wrote a ton but it disappeared. Anyway looking at previous diaries I was wrong about senescence. It wad the life cycle of those earwigs that did that to my plants (see other diaries). This soil mix is amazing. These plants gave only gotten like two small feeds of big bloom. I showed my commercial buddy and I'll keep it between us what was said but it made me feel really good. I'm considering either expanding the cage in one direction with some lumber I already have or moving a couple outside tge cage. That way I have more room. He said he's seen plants structurally similar reach huge heights (14f) so I'm just trying to avoid future problems. I at least need to get the trellis on. I hope poor that's food enough. Did a real nice video this morning but nothing wanted to upload and it just uploaded the same one twice. I'll try again and hopfully it will go up. If not I'll put it up tomorrow. 7/12 Dad has surgery this morning. I did a quick video and took some pictures. I need to do some rearranging with the plants and cut a pallet to fit in the back. Then I can put a vertical trellis up. Haven't decided if I'll add on to the cage, remove a couple plants or just rearrange things but I'm leaning towards the later. They will need water again and I'm wondering if I should start nutrients but everything looks so good. By this time on past diaries I'd be losing all my leaves bu now. MI think it wad part ear wigs and part to many nutes. This soil mix is taking these plants through veg. I'll probably do a feeding soon but it will be organic and it will he small like a big bloom or ancient amber. Im leaning towards not using growbig this year as my plants seem to be doing great without it. We'll see. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: Went back over and gave plants a full watering. Some were slightly drooping. I was going to add nutes but decided against it as I didn't see any deficiency. So far NO Earwigs! I comed through the plants and I did find a jpn beetle which I happily killed. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and gave it to the 11 plants so it wasn't quite a gallon a plant. I need to rearrange the plants so I have room to move around. I also need to cut another pallet and use the spaces I'm not. Trellis needs to go up. 7/13 I think I've got the watering amount down. Now just to find how often which will depend on weather. I've watered very little this year. They loved that gallon. I was going to use big bloom and kelp me/you but looking at my garden I decided not too. My buddy asked what i was addingvthings for and to wait fir what i added to do what I wanted it to do. I see no nutrient deficiencies so why add anything? I think this soil mixture will get me all tgexway through veg. I dont plan on using much in fliwer either. Definitely good genetics. I really need to cut that palley and move the 1 10gallon to the far back coener. It will open thibgs up so much better. The garden looked so beautiful this morning. Getting very aromatic. I started untangling trellis netting but had to leave. I'll update what I do. Happy growing folks UPDATE: Went back over as I had a slight intuition that I needed to check the garden. I found and killed at least 7 jpn beetles. That's what's been making holes. They tried to escape and bounced off a tarp but I got it. I went through the interiors and found two pillars. If these beetles are gonna be around I'm ordering a net. I'm also close to positive I'm going to extend my cage in the back a few feet. Things are getting unmanageable in here. My buddy said I'll be having problems soon if I don't do something. I'll document what I decide to do. 7/14 Found ONE jpn beetle in the garden this morning. I can manage those well enough. The birds help too. I check my garden multiple times a day so I manually remove many pests. However I've noticed some thrip damage on a leaf and a leafhopper damage on "A" leaf so there are "some" pests around but not enough to spray shit. A couple wasps were doing there job while I was there. Supposed to get thunder storms after three and tonight. Supposed to get over a half inch of rain tonight. I lifted the bags and decided to hold off and let mother nature take care of it as the bags weren't totally dry. Only problem I really have is space. I AM moving that 10gallon (that's the same size as some 20's) in the back. There's 27in not being used and a few feet the other way. My buddy cautioned me that I'm going to have problems since my plants are so crowded. I agree with him. I spoke with me father and we have most materials to extend my cage four feet in the back. I think that's my plan. I'll extend the structure before the stretch then I can put up the supports. We'll see how this goes. UPDATE: Went back over to check the girls as I had a feeling I ought to. When I got there I saw that a couple of the blueberry cheese were pretty light (liftng the smart pot) but the others seemed to be fine. ONE 10th planet was light like that and the purple punch in the 10 gallon was as well. Each plant thar needed it got at least a half gallon of water. I'm waiting to see if we get the thunderstorms and the half inch of rain. I watered the MASSIVE blueberry cheese in the 50 but I only gave it 1 pitcher which is like 1/4 gallon or so. Don't know why I even gave it that. Looked fine but the soil WAS pretty dry. Next year I'm giving myself way more room. I was running trying to chase these jpn beetles. This time I have the dawn and water and a measuring cup to knock them in. This ain't my first rodeo. I did notice some bright yellow streaks on a leaf edge and I'm hoping it's not septoria. I doubt it but I have an anxiety disorder and I worry. I hope I can get the cage extended sooner rather than later. It's getting hard to move in there and more importantly I can't take any more plant pathogen problems. I'm considering starting a plant doctor regimen just to be safe. 7/15 Got a bunch of rain last night. No jpn beetles in the garden and not really much damage. I did notice this (I think it's leaf hoppers) that leave those dots close together on a leaf so it appears I've got a variety of pests. I'm considering how to approach this. I mean the damage is very minimal but I don't want it to get out of hand. Another thing I need to look out for is leaf septoria or any other fungal pathogens. I believe that has been part of my problems in the past. I think that's what caused my earlier grows to drop all their leaves so quick. I think I'm being overly cautious but its very crowded in there. With my father just getting out of surgery the girls will need to wait a little bit before before I can extend the cage. I could still cut the pallet and move the 1 10gallon and that would give more room. I rearranged a LITTLE BIT so they have a little more room but I've really got to get this cage extended. UPDATE: IT Rained so hard I had to pull the car over. We hydroplanned the whole way home. After working ob my house I went to see what the damage would be like. NOT A SINGLE BREAK THAT I COULD SEE. I took a video but since the wifi here sucks I'll have to upload it tomorrow. Walking around in the cage even if I cant get it extended I think I'll be OK. It obviously will open me up to lots more issues but at the very least I can reorganize before I build on. The 10 gal purple punch would fit perfectly in the back and I have a pallet I can cut to fit it in place. Putting that one back and pulling the others forward will be much better than what I've got going on now. I'm also thinking about running an extension cord and putting fans under the canopy or at an angle to keep the wind moving. Just thinking outloud. However after that storm the girls looked as happy as I've ever seen them. All happy praying to the sun, thankful for the much needed rain. Mother nature does a pretty good job with out me messing with it. I've noticed a couple interior lowest leaves turn yellow and die like a nitrogen deficiency but everything else is fine. Also noticed a leaf that looked like a p deficiency but again, it was the VERY bottom leaf on ONE plant. Again the rest of everything looks fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for anymore nutrient deficiencies and if anyone that reads this sees some please let me know. I should've taken stills since they looked so good but I got it on video. 7/16 It POURED last night and throughout the day. TORRENTIAL rain. The branch breaking sheet rain that us outdoor growers learned to fear. My plants aren't trellised currently. I know what I need to do now. I have a pallet to put in the back corner and I'm moving the purple punch in the 10 there. And pulling others forward where there's more room. Then when I extend it (it's gotta be done this week) everything g will be in their proper place and I can just throw on a vertical trellis. I also noticed more (leafhopper) damage on a leaf. Different leaf of the same plant so I'm considering spraying something. I have a number of products but I was trying not to use them. Luckily I have these diaries so I can look back and see certain plants reactions to certain nutes or fungacide/insecticide/nutes and the doses used. I haven't been using much but if my plants will remain cramped I'm going to start the plant doctor. I'm seeing more pillar damage too but BT is super narrow so I'm thinking when I fo spray for pests I might use cap jack and be done with it. Then I can apply the BT in flower if it's necessary. I took a video but I have to wait until tomorrow to upload. I took a quick snapshot though. 7/17 Despite the torrential rain I don't have any breaks. I'm noticing more pest damage though. Another leaf on the same plant had those closely shaped round circles. I forget what pest it is but it's there. Caterpillars are there I'm sure so I may do a preclcentative spray. Just unsure what I'm going to use. I lost a COUPLE very bottom interior leaves that look like they just got used up. After this rain I think think the plants might benefit from a feeding. Probably next water after they dry out. I REALLY need that cage extended. I expressed that today and it should be done this week. I'm looking for pallets today. I have the little one that I can put in the back which will allow me to move the 10 gallon and move the other forward. That will help some but I need more room. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT A SMALL PALLET AND IT FIT PERFECT IN THE BACK ROW. I MOVED THE PURPLE PUNCH IN THE 10 GALLON ONTO IT. I SHIFTED A BUNCHVIF THINGS AROUND. I ROTATED ON BLUEBERRY CHEESE 180 DEGREES SO IT WOULD FIR BETTER. CROP ROTATION IS GOOD ANYWAY. I TOOK VIDEOS AND YOU CAN NOW SEE THE ROWS MUCH BETTER. 2 WITH 3 and 1 WITH 4. IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN IT WAS. I CAN GET AROUND ALL SIDES OF EVERY PLANT NOW. GRANTED THE LARGE 50 IN THE BACK IS GOING TO HAVE SOME TROUBLE BUT ILL JUST STAKE IT TO THE CAGE. IT WILL GROW TOWARDS THE SUN ANYWAY. IM SUPRISED I DIDN'T LOSE A BUNCH OF LEAVES AFTER THIS RAIN. MOVING THINGS AROUND AND LOOKING ON THE INTERIOR OF PLANTS I FOUND A COUPLE LEAVES THAT HAD BEEN USED UP. I REMOVED A COUPKE LEAVES THAT HAD DONE THEIR JOB. I'LL UPDATE AS I GO ALONG.
