Grow Diary Introduction ​This diary was created with the idea of recycling as much as possible and utilizing every single watt of power to its absolute maximum potential. Honestly, you could call this run a survival experiment. ​Right after harvesting my last grow, I reused the old soil and salvaged the previous Biotabs, which were still fairly intact (you can see photos of this in the germination week). These recycled tabs will be the backbone of the feeding schedule for this run. To reduce the bacterial load, I watered the soil with a water and turmeric mixture—though this probably knocked back the beneficial microbial life in the soil as well. For containers, I’m using some balcony pots with built-in saucers that I found out on the street and repurposed. I started the seeds in 0.25L of fresh substrate mixed with a little bit of mycorrhiza. ​Initially, the plan was to plant one NL and one AB per pot, but one AB failed to germinate, so I left one NL to grow by itself in one of the pots. Each pot has two recycled tabs, and so far, they’ve only been fed a couple of times with Orgatrex at 2ml/L. ​They germinated on April 1st and spent their first 45 days indoors. The first week was a real bottleneck for them, as they were placed inside a tent that was in late flowering, meaning the climate was totally wrong for seedlings. For the remaining 4 weeks, they shared the tent and kept the plants of the new indoor cycle company, staying in there for as long as space would allow. Afterward, I moved them to the veranda windowsill. They are currently kept inside, pushed up a bit tight against the window glass, which keeps them safely away from bad weather and pests.Currently, the plants are only getting about 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Because of this, the buds aren't particularly dense, with the exception of the top colas on the Northern Lights. I'll probably dry and smoke those main apicals, as they turned out surprisingly nice and dense visually, especially considering the rough conditions they went through. The Afghan Bullet (AB), on the other hand, developed much smaller buds, but they are more balanced and greater in number. I'll be throwing the smaller NL buds in with these, making it absolutely perfect material for some top-tier bubble hash. As the master Frenchy Cannoli used to teach, overly dense buds aren't actually the best for washing bubble hash; this looser structure is exactly what you want for a great extraction.

04/27 - Day 30 ~510PAR across the canopy. More training and a little trimming to get some air flow under the girls. 04/30 - Day 33 ~540PAR across the canopy. Switched over to the VIPARSPECTRA KS5000. Coverage is a WHOLE lot better and will allow me to start the next batch soon. All the girls are starting to drink more, adding 1 gallon back to the reservoir daily for the last couple days. Noticing some yellow tips on leaves, but getting super bushy.

Both plants continued progressing through early flowering this week 🌸 Vertical growth slowed but has not completely stopped yet, so the light fixture had to be raised again to maintain proper distance. • Height now approx. ~110 cm • Stretch slowing but still slightly ongoing • Bud sites becoming clearly visible across the canopy Light intensity was increased to ~950–1000 PPFD ☀️ Environmental conditions remained stable: • 25.5°C temperature • 50–55% RH 🌡️ Trichome production began appearing toward the end of the week ✨ Resin is now visible on both the sugar leaves and the bud sites, though aroma is still very mild at this stage. Phenotypic differences remain noticeable: • Pheno #2 is slightly ahead in flower development and continues to grow very compact around the main stem • Pheno #1 maintains a more open structure Water demand remains high during early flower: • ~4L every 2 days until runoff 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x Orgatrex • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Defoliation was performed again this week ✂️ Slightly more leaves were removed than the previous week, improving light penetration without causing excessive stress. Midway through the week, Pheno #1 showed clear signs of hermaphroditism. Initial pollen sacs were discovered and carefully removed. Despite close monitoring, additional pollen sacs continued to develop toward the end of the week. Due to this progression, the decision was made to remove the plant from the tent to prevent any risk of pollination. The plant was cut down and processed separately, as it was clearly expressing unstable traits. Overall, the remaining plant continues to develop well, with visible resin production and improving bud formation ?🔥

Loving how these girls are growing Fastbuds mystery #1 finally catching up, and may possibly in the end being a better producer than the RQS plant, which is surprising to me because of how badly I stunted this plant. Got me curious how good this plant could’ve been

Desde el momento uno fue fácil de cultivar, no tuve ningún problema en todo su desarrolló. Como planta supero todas mis expectativas, se encuentran densos y muy pegajosos los cocos. En algunos hay partes de color violeta/lila. Y por ultimo recomiendo mucho cultivar esta genética por lo sencillo que fue cultivarla y sus resultados finales, todo de diez.

What’s up my fellow growers. Hope all is well with you all. So we have reached day 35 the start of week 2 of flower. These ladies have really filled out the tent. Extremely happy with them. Although over the last 24 hours they arnt looking as good as they did. I think it’s just the stretching. I have moved the light up a little to se of that improves things. Anyway have a great week and I’ll catch you all soon. ✌️

One plant is flowering a few days later, this particular seed grew a bit different then the other 2 stronger and minus the 4th one "that went through shock due to the accident during transplant." Aka tipping over 😞..... The back 2 plants will be the prime crops, but some open sesame and TLC on the front left plant will amake difference,.Stay tuned....40 days left...aprox

Day 15: All plants are showing excellent vigor and healthy green leaf color. Zero signs of nutrient burn or stress after the first light feeding. Leaves are perky and showing great turgor pressure. Feeding & Watering Strategy: - First mild feeding applied at Day 14. - Water used: Lauretana (very low mineral composition, ph 6.3). - Nutrients: RQS Easy Grow Tablets (30% strength) + RQS Easy Plus Micronutrients (30% strength) to rebalance Ca/Mg profile. - Next watering will be pure water only to ensure no salt buildup in the fabric pots. Genetics update: - Atlas seeds showing high vigor and larger canopy expansion. - Royal Jack following with steady, healthy vegetative development. The little one is also growing very well I also started LST on the two AtlasF1 Day 16: After starting LST on the two Atlas yesterday, I checked the ties again today and eased them a little. The main stems are still bent gently with the green wire and show no cracks. Both plants look healthy: firm green leaves, no tip burn from the Day 14 feed, and side shoots filling in along the nodes. I'll keep easing the wire every day or two in the same direction so the canopy stays flat, and I'll stop once the first pistils appear. Day 17: Top soil was dry, so the three larger plants got plain water ph 6.3 today no nutrients. Climate is on target: 26 °C and 60% RH. I raised the light dimmer to 55–60% at about 38–40 cm above the tops, based on my mid-veg schedule for days 15–21. The two Atlas are responding well to LST: open canopy, side shoots climbing, green leaves, and still no tip burn from the Day 14 feed(a note below about feeding schedule). The established Royal Jack is still smaller than the Atlas but looks healthy and is catching up. The replacement Royal Jack now has its first true leaves, with a bit of light mottling on the cotyledons. I'm leaving the bottle off for stretches of the day and giving it only plain water around the stem Next Easy Grow plus Easy Plus feed is around day 19–20, still at a low dose. **Quick correction to Day 14** Last week I wrote that one Easy Grow tablet (3 g) is for 10 L of water that was wrong and I now realized I spent 4 years believing so. The label is 1 tablet in 3–5 L. So full strength is about 0.6–1.0 g per litre, not 0.3 g/L. The 0.06 g I mixed into 0.7 L was only about 9–14% of real full strength, not the 30% I thought. Next feeds I'll dose against the 3–5 L range. At the next watering, I will also start applying BiggerFlowers at 0.2 ml/l. Day 18: No watering today(besides for the little one that got 75ml of water ph 6.3), since the pots were still moist from yesterday. The two Atlas are really opening up with LST: lots of side shoots climbing toward the light, firm green leaves, and still no tip burn. The Royal Jack is wired down too and starting to take shape. The replacement now has two sets of true leaves, clean and healthy, with no sign of yesterday's light mottling. The light stays at 55–60% at 38–40 cm. The next feed is planned for when the top soil dries, probably tomorrow : Easy Grow plus Bigger Flowers, both at a low dose. Day 19: No watering today either. The soil isn't wet anymore, but it's still a little moist, so I'll wait until tomorrow and let the roots get some oxygen. I readjusted the LST wires on the plants to keep the canopy flat. Everything looks good: healthy green leaves and steady **THE IMPORTANCE OF LETTING THE SOIL DRY** A lot of people think plants need water all the time, so they end up overwatering. I have a friend who still doesn't get why letting the soil dry out matters, and he never managed to grow a single healthy plant through to the end. He also overfed his plants a lot, then quit growing, saying his setup wasn't good enough. It wasn't the setup: which was an “honest” se tup. So this one's for anyone new here: LET YOUR SOUL DRY, and don't overfeed your plants, especially autoflowers! Roots need oxygen just as much as they need water. As the pot drains and dries out, air gets drawn back into the soil, so the roots can breathe and spread out looking for moisture. That's what builds a bigger, stronger root system. When the soil stays wet all the time, the roots sit without oxygen, growth slows, the leaves droop, and you're inviting root rot and fungus gnats. Day 20: Second feed today, a full liter at pH 6.2 with 0.7 g Easy Grow, 0.2 g Easy Plus, 1 ml Bigger Flowers, 4 g Trichoderma and a single drop of Supervit. That's a clear step up from the first feed, which was only around 14% of full strength. I want the plants well fed before the stretch starts, and the Easy Boost in the soil releases slowly, so I'm keeping an eye on the leaf tips over the next few days. The two Atlas are flat and full of side shoots with an even green, the Royal Jack is smaller but healthy and wired, and the replacement is growing slowly with new true leaves. Light is still at 55–60% at 38–40 cm. Tomorrow I'll go up to 70–80%.
