The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing fast, stretching long and I'm constantly tying down branches to maintain an even canopy. There's also a stronger scent of lemon already in the tent. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce “popcorn” buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 3L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----prior 4 weeks updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. Lost a branch end with 3 nodes accidentally whilst tucking away so now I'm super careful. The Sativa dominant strain is stretching nicely and bends easily. Minor defoliation of lower branches and fan leaves continues daily. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-30 in vegetative stage - switching the light regime to flowering. Initiated flowering with an extended dark period prior to switching light regime - this practice is supposed to promote a faster initiation of flowering by the plant. Maintain lights off from Dec-31, 10:00 until Jan 1 - 18:45 allowing a 32hr darkness period prior to switching the light regime. Light regime is set for 12.5/11.5 on/off allowing me a better maintenance window for my living situation. Both plants are growing fast and strong, showing their genetic traits. Some shoots are going through the net already. Have started to tuck branches as they grow to fill up any gaps. Did minor defoliation on both plants near their stem base and centres. Some green algae on roots/coco medium on the surface of the pot. Have defoliated some more which hopefully helps with air circulation at the area. Will monitor over the week - may need to decrease watering frequency, although they seem to be keeping up drinking. Lowered the High Humidity setting of the extraction fan to 60% - which effectively keeps it running at least 75% of the time, and removed the humidifier. Will monitor and adjust as necessary lowering the setting to 50% in a few weeks whilst flowering. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-23 in vegetative stage. Installed the ScrOG net - Set at 20cm from the base of the plants, being 55cm from ground. The plant is showing great growth, lots of branching and new growth sprouts. A few branches are beginning to come through the net and almost all main branches are now tied down horizontally after the two recent toppings. Applied more LST and will wait for the branches to reach the net and start tucking. The AC Infinity fan is currently only running intermittently with its current settings. This seems to impact the utilisation and effectiveness of the carbon filter in use. The desired outcome is for the fan to be running for longer periods whilst in Auto config. Lowered the High Level Humidity from 70% to 60%, and more importantly, lowered the Max Speed from 4 to 2 with the intent that a lower fan speed will result in longer periods where the extraction fan is operated to remain below threshold targets for the grow space. Plant growth continues to be strong at the end of the week. Big fan leaves near the top are beginning to look a little serrated and dark, similar to the start of this grow. This may be due to the extra CalMag being added which was the issue at the start of the grow. Will keep monitoring and half the CalMag dosage on next feed. Importantly, I have learnt nutrient mixing of the CalMag should be done prior to the Canna Coco A & B. To date I have done the opposite which may explain my earlier issues. Fertigating daily at the start of the light cycle. One more week of vegetative growth before switching to flowering although I may need to switch earlier due to the vigorous growth and considering the stretch yet to come. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ................................. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

Got these transplanted to the rain science 3 gal bags and moved to a 4x4 in the basement where it's a little better environment in terms of vpd. I had a full bag of roots organic soil so I decided to do a soil/coco blend like I did with the current autoflower crop. I also topped every single one of em mid week. Once I get the flower tent all cleaned out and everything I'll be throwing these in there for bloom. Hoping this will be an even better grow than the last since I have both my arms back. I'm doing the update a little early since I was late on it last week, today (tuesday 9.10.19) is day 43 from germination and about day 39 from full sprout. Before this week they were under only about 185w in a 4x4 area so it's been slow growth so far. These are doing solid, some are a little small and bushy like the purple candy paint and the rocstar breath but not that they have some room to grow maybe theyll pick it up.

The bud structure on this plant is amazing, the buds developed to create nice tight golf ball sized nugs which are coated in trichomes. The smell inside of the jar has a little musk behind it, followed by the sweet smell of candy peaches which is also reflected in the taste.

03/1 - Applied LST last week - thus far no issues - Gave her a top dressing of warm castings - increased nutrient formula by .5 on all nutrients. She will be transferred out of the nursery tent within this coming week and moved into the 4x4 to run alone and prep for clone picking. 03/04 - Transplanted into a 5 gallon pot & transferred into the 3x3 to run alone for clone prep - topped 8 more additional sites - She is running under the 3x3 Sunraise QB3000. 03/08 - Closing out the week on a hiccup - Got careless with the EC/PPM and PH and she went kind of neon on me and leaves began to dip - Since then I gave her a clean water feed to drop levels with PH down - She is bouncing back

What's up guys! Quick update for this week. I decided to give the Gorilla Melon a nice cut to keep her height fully under control, and honestly, I'm pretty happy with her current structure. She’s shaping up beautifully. I'll see how she develops over the next two weeks and make a final decision at the end of July whether to cut her one last time or just let her ride. I'm still a bit anxious about that massive stretch coming up in August, so my main goal right now is keeping her in a compact shape that will comfortably fit inside the greenhouse. To make sure she has enough power for the road ahead, I pushed a third Biotab straight into the soil today. Those thrips are unfortunately still buzzing around the place, but the Gorilla Melon seems to be way more resilient compared to her greenhouse-mate. My Orange Sherbet Auto right next to her, which is already in late flower, is definitely having a much harder time dealing with the pests. To get ahead of the problem, I’m going to release another round of biological pest control soon. The goal is to have everything thrips-free the time the Gorilla Melon finally flips into flower (hopefully). Enjoy the peace of growing, guys! ✌️

So far so good. Lowering the light was a bit of a mistake as the main cola started to show light stress. The main cola is 7" higher than the rest which is a bit of a PITA. I'll be much more aggressive with the LST next time around - comments on how to prevent such a taller main cola are welcome :) I've trimmed about a dozen or so leaves to get more airflow and I moved the LED strips up to support the middle section of the plant, seems to have helped (I think).

Hola amigos cultivadores. Buenos humos a todos 🌊🤙 Esta semana tuve algunas dificultades por negligencia mía. * Perdí aproximadamente 40 gramos contaminados por Botrytis. Llevaba una semana con humedad muy alta y no hice nada al respecto. Acá donde cultivo es muy húmedo y cálido y siempre la Botrytis ha sido mi enemiga. Sin embargo esta vez fue mi culpa, pues sabía de la alta humedad y no hice nada. Importante mencionar que la Big Kush por su tamaño de flor (enorme) es más propensa a tener problemas con excesos de humedad. Esta cepa hace flores gigantes. Ya está resuelto y se bajó de 80% a 65% en promedio. Aumenté ventilación, extracción y coloqué un deshunidificador. * Haciendo cuentas de los días transcurridos, estoy una semana por delante y por lo tanto creo que empecé tarde con el Pk1314. De hecho era notable que las flores estaban muy desarrolladas cuando lo empecé a aplicar. Aún así el Pk ha hecho lo suyo y las plantas han engordado, quizá no lo que esperaba. Algunas hojas con tonalidades amarillas, algunas propias del consumo de la planta y otras observándola día a día para detectar algún exceso. Las platas siguen consumiendo en promedio 2 litros de líquido al día, por lo que espero hacer un buen lavado de raíz en una semana aproximadamente. Buenos humos 🌊🤙

😎Happy day to all, my brothers!😎 We have reached the end of a wonderful journey...that of MY FIRST HYDROPONIC GROWING!!! I have obtained fantastic results from everything that accompanied me on this wonderful journey! starting from the bucket and the pump to finish with a wonderful AUTOFLOWERING genetics, each single component has played a fundamental role in the game, managing to give me extraordinary results....(let's hope it wasn't beginner's luck : )😁😁😁 on this special day, I send a greeting to all the people who unfortunately are no longer among us, but always live in our hearts!😇 LET ME KNOW IF YOU LIKED THE DIARY IN THE COMMENTS

SHERBERT QUEEN AUTO / RQS WEEK #9 OVERALL WEEK #4 FLOWER This has been another good week for this lady she's doing buds are getting dense and getting a little aroma to them. Stay Growing!! Thank you for asking by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! Thank you v ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS!! SHERBERT QUEEN AUTO / RQS

The bruccies are continuing to mature, they are probably going to get harvested sometime in the next week. One has been on flush mode for about 5 days now, going to give it another 3 or 4. About to start the other one on flush once most pistils are orange. They are both chugging about 6 gallons each per week.

Day 43- 23/01/22 looking good hopefully they gonna come out better than my last run!!!!

Hi guys, welcome back to Mrs Peaky's Gardens . these biscuits are swelling their buds so my opinion is that there was some problem in the vegetative phase that immediately pushed them to flower meanwhile we continue to fatten them 👩‍🌾

1st try at LST I ripped a huge fan leaf off. 2nd try I think I got it right. Other than that I just check water levels, PPM and pH, then adjust as needed. These girls are a little short and bushy...pause....so I backed the light off a bit and noticed them climbing. I also messed up and bought a wave maker to move water but didn't realize it'd rip my roots. This didn't matter because the roots 50x growth within a day or two. During mid week 3 I upgraded the air pump and air stones after failing with the wave maker. I upgrade to a 2"x4" air stone and a nice 20w 475gph air pump. I believe this helped with growth tremendously because the girls are taking off 🚀 Also, water change! With the water change I bumped the PPM up, plants haven't responded negatively but I think I will back it down to about 700-750 since they seem to be taking in more water (pH rising, PPM rising).

This plant is so easy to grow and train damn look at the frost already 🍏🍏🍹👍🏻
