At this stage, I’m using the full lighting setup I have available: 730 nm far-red — 5 minutes at the end of the day. 450 nm blue — 4 hours during the peak light period, starting 4 hours after lights-on. It was originally meant to help control stretching, but it arrived too late, so now it will mostly be used to support terpene production. There are some studies around that. 40 W lower canopy light — no idea what the result will be, first time trying it. Main 320 W light with UVA. UVB — 1 minute every hour. You can tell the light is a bit too much. The leaf color on #4 looks slightly faded, especially where she got too close to the lamp. But it does not look critical yet, so I’m not backing off for now. #3 and #2 have some marks from UV burn. No big deal — they should adapt. I’ll try running UV every other day for now, since I still can’t control it remotely. I finally found a 20 L reservoir for a reasonable price — just a plastic barrel. I installed it, it fit into the old spot, but I didn’t notice one important thing: the water level in it ended up higher than the pots and drippers. The result? 1.5 liters of runoff, plus another liter on the tent floor. As they say: “Physics, you heartless bitch.” Other than that, everything is fine. Runoff is different for every plant, of course. The girls turned out very different — each one doing her own thing. One has 6.8 pH in runoff, another has 4.8, but visually they still look strong. They are growing every day and already starting to smell, again, each one differently. My favorite is #3. At first, she gives off this minty, floury smell — not exactly cookie or dough, but slightly sweet. Then, if you touch the trichomes with your nose, it feels like falling straight into a berry smoothie. Literally gives me goosebumps. But she is the only one like that. The others are more like sweet, earthy cookies, with a distant mint/eucalyptus note and some gas in the background. The first little frost of trichomes has started, and judging by that, the finish should be pretty snowy. Basically, I’ve now brought my whole arsenal into play. From here on, it should be calmer: just watering and watching the buds swell. As for the nutrient mix: potassium is around 150 ppm, phosphorus around 80 ppm. I reduced nitrogen as much as I could — now it’s around 100 ppm. Calcium was lowered to 100 ppm too, mainly to bring nitrogen down even further. Magnesium is around 80 ppm. Plus monosilicic acid and Hesi SuperVit.

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom. So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there. I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far. ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent! Watered again on 27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC 29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC

Lookin good, no more herms so far as I’ve tightened things up hopefully that’s the last of them for good. I installed a 4Inch AC infinity fan and filter as an intake so I have been able to close all of the vents. At this point the leaf strip has proven to be a solid method, I have nothing to compare bud size at this point but just the extra space it opened up is a plus. I’m sure the lowers will be a little more firm and the plants obviously haven’t had to be fed as often as usual so its saving time, water and nutrients. The added microbes have also allowed me to keep my ppm around 1000 instead of 1080ish without any sign of deficiencies. The Mandarin cookies x Dionysus has a little cal-mag issue but that was a trait from the mother which out of 10+ grows all had a cal-mag deficency. I gave everything a little flush last watering and took measurements then a good feed today REMEMBER , IF YOUR SHOPPING FOR GEAR YOU CAN USE THE CODE “BANGDANG” FOR 10% OFF YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE FROM ANY OF THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES. @greenbuzzliquids @rainscience_growbags @gorilla_grow_tent @growlightscience.led *****Gorilla grow tent discounts extend to all companies affiliated with grow strong industries which include..***** @super.closet Lotus Nutrients Kind LED grow lights

I still had some spots on leaves, but look like the calmag is doing the job. New leaves look better for now. It smell stronger, and plants are drinking a bit more now. Not sure, but i think no more than 3 weeks b4 harvesting HulkBerry 1 and the cookies gelato familly. Royal Bluematic 1 seems to take more time, but is growing well. HulkBerry 2 and mostly Royal Bluematic 2 are really late and weak compared to the others.

11/16: I had to move a bunch of seedlings into the closet and decided to just go ahead and run the lights at 24/0 for these last several days. I've got the lights to within 8 inches on all of the flowering plants and as little as 6 inches on a couple of them😈. It's been cold out, so I've been able to keep my temps nice and low. I also have a 6500k floodlight on in there to "winterize" the environment a little more. 11/18: (bugles sounds) Introducing....The Frost Queen and Princess! I harvested the last two Orange Sherbets today...Wow, just wow!😍 11/20: Today I harvested the last two Wedding Cheesecakes and all three Gorilla Cookies. Kind pressed for time, so I just did a cursory trim before taking some photos and washing them. The Gorilla Cookies are every bit as dense as the Wedding Cheesecakes. The gigantic WC has a few seeds here and there, so if I don't spot any spent nanners on her, I'm gonna assume the pollination was done by the short/bent Strawberry Pie that I deliberately left a few male flowers I spotted on. That would make for some kind of special auto hybrid right there.. Well. that's a wrap on this crop. I'll do harvest reports on each strain as soon as they've cured a little bit, but I can tell you already that I'm gonna love most of them. Aromas are incredible!

Went away for a week and missed ideal harvest. Unfortunately, the harvest seems to have been fried to a crisp. Last time I share the responsibility. :(

Hello and welcome to week 7 beginning for Nesia, the largest and most advanced 6 week old plant I have ever grown. I update daily so week 6 is now complete. Please do check it out! I have added some comparisons shots of Karen, the oldest girl of this [G2] series to show just how impressive Nesia is. Nesia is 25 days younger than Karen and she is already a larger plant. This diary is not very popular or comment filled right now, but as this grow progresses I really think it's going to gain some attention. Nesia is going to be big. Day 44: Nesia stretching fast now. Day 45: Flowering is going well. I have adjusted the timer such that the main tent is now getting 20/4 upped from 18/6. After monitoring DLI at 18/6 for a week I am unhappy with the overall level but because of the varying heights of the plants I am limited in what I can do in adjusting the light height. Some areas were only getting 20 DLI. So I have rearranged to have the taller plants on the edges and the lowest in the middle and doing it this way all plants are getting between 35 and 50 DLI at 20/4 - although one or two cola tips here and there are getting 55. Will monitor for a week. Day 46: Fertigated 5l Day 47: Nesia is really moving into flower strongly now. Pistil development has started proper, stretching rapidly. Day 49: Nesia starting to pose me a challenge. She is big. Now by far the largest plant. She has reached 50cm height and 70cm across. I will add proper photos later and do a week summary. Day 49: Nesia is stretching really fast now. I hope she doesn't stretch much more but I fear we're only halfway done. She's way bigger than Karen now. Taller, wider. Fertigated 5l End of week summary... well what can I say Nesia has now surpassed Karen (25 days older) in every size and growth metric. She is following exactly the same pattern except without all the problems. I think she still has 2 weeks of stretching to go, on that basis I am expecting her to grow upto 25cm in the next week and the same again the week after - so I think Nesia is going to end up being about 1m tall. Honestly I hope not though, but let us see.

Week 9 (12-8 to 18-8) 12-8 Temps: 22.2 to 29.1 degrees Humidity: 47% to 61% Watering: Both 1500 ml. Dry Weight #2: 2.5 kg. #2: 2.5 kg. 13-8 Temps: 23.8 to 28.6 degrees Humidity: 57% to 70% 14-8 Temps: 25.1 to 29.8 degrees Humidity: 56% to 65% I found out that i had the timer on 16/8 instead of 18/6 for the entire 9 weeks. Maybe this is the reason why the plants dont grow that fast. 15-8 Temps: 24.8 to 29 degrees Humidity: 46% to 66% Watering: Both 1500 ml. Dry Weight: Both 2.5 kg. Today is the first watering from the bottom. Also removed some leaves. 16-8 Temps: 24 to 28.4 degrees Humidity: 49% to 68% 17-8 Temps: 20.4 to 26.3 degrees Humidity: 45% to 79% 18-8 Temps: 21 to 28.3 degrees Humidity: 40% to 59% Watering: Both 1500 ml. Dry Weight: Both 2.7 kg. Did some mainlining/scrogging

The time has come!!!! I was gonna give it a couple more days but I’m too antsy and want to get this girl drying already. I will be cutting her down at the end of today she has been getting straight water these past week she isn’t getting any color just yellowing of the leaves. She smells minty when defoliating but the buds smell skunky and dank asf. Light green buds remind me of old school weed I used to smoke in HS shits amazing.

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) Both of these plants continue to pack on the pistils with no signs of slowing down...I thought surely the shortie would be ready to flush this week, but she's definitely not.. It rained for most for the day....again... 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: I took the shortie out of the closet today to inspect her trichomes. I took about a dozen close-ups and zoomed in really close on my PC and couldn't find any ambers, but they're about 50% cloudy at this point.. I went ahead and took some cuttings from her while I had her out. Hopefully I can get at least one to survive and grow outdoors this season. I also took some cuttings from the FFT#1 (the other shortie), and I started a couple of other FFT seeds (5 & 7) which I'll train out as horizontally as possible to match the shortie's heights. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Little Edit from this grow, I thought I would have a bit more from this 3 Greenpoioson XL, turn around a bit over 2 ounces.

Doing great. Just turned on the big light. Hlg-600. The growth this week was pretty phenomenal. Won’t be that long until I’m stringing my scrog.
