Greenhouse growing is strange and exciting, well from what I have observed and experiencing, I see extremes, next week I will post readings from my thermometers, yes I have two, a coil, and a red mercury one, placed in a shaded area and the other in direct sunlight where the ladies are tanning. It’s getting hotter as the days go by, I need a humidity reader. It will help me better catalogue.

So I started flushing this week .Next one will be harvest post

This was a great week, last week I Was fed up and wondering if my girls were EVER going to get going!! But all of a sudden boom 💥 They are looking beautiful, I also put another lamp in my tent. The lighting is immense!! I can't wait to see how they respond

Came back from holidays and surprisingly the plants were looking great after 2 weeks without watering them, the gelified water did it's work. Flowers have gotten bigger and smellier.

Starting to fatten up. Will decrease maxibloom and liquid koolbloom and add dry koolbloom for bulking and hardening. She is a beast. So far the 2nd tallest auto I have grown, the first being a sour diesel.

Week 8! I've seen some challenges leading up to this point so far, with Plant #2 showing the results of what insanely high EC levels can do and how important it can be to know what's going in to the soil and what's coming out. Luckily, things seem to be straightening out and both plants are putting on bud weight. Day 50: - did some very light defoliation, removing a few fan leaves that were blocking bud sites on both plants. - the smell is starting to get much stronger than it was last week. Day 51: - watered with a 310ppm nutrient solution, using 3ml of Remo's Bloom nutrients + GH's CaliMagic per gallon of dechlorinated (by aeration) tap water. Day 52: - nothing to report Day 53: - tent temperatures reached a bit higher than normal due to warmer outside temperatures. 80F instead of 78F, for approximately 8hrs. Day 54: - Plant #2 has an extremely sweet smell, sort of like grape. - Plant #1 is smells similar but not quite as sweet and not quite as much grape. Day 55: - Probably should have watered today but we're leaving it one more day. Day 56: - watered with plain, dechlorinated (by aeration) tap water. - used small amount of bloom nutrients to adjust pH from 7.1 to 6.4, resulting in a weak 55ppm nutrient solution. - watered to runoff (maybe 10%). - Plant #2 runoff testing at 6.3 pH and 1850ppm, which is higher than we expected. - did some light foliage trimming, mostly on plant #2, to remove dead and mostly-dead leaves.

Week 12 for Moby Dick by fastbuds, She's seems to be running out of food in her pot from the yellow leafing going on. Been giving her FFJ to finish her off. From the way she looks you'd say she's close to finishing but her actual buds don't look anywhere finished... Thinking of adding a little compost to the top soil to try give her extra food😇 She didn't handle the heat greatly.. got a few leaf's burnt but seemed to only be the yellow leaves.

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.

As week 2 comes to an end 4 of the 5 have shown great growth 1 is behind (#5) but it also has a mutation and has a few 4 leafers on it. #3 is shorter and has wider leaves.

Day 43 a new week starts 💪😃👍 Day 44 every single Day a little bit more 😋🙏👍

Was not so strong in the beginning, but then became good. It just fidn't cath up with the others.

2nd Runtz is still growing. I show results when everything is done.

11/17 Week 8 Man I will be glad when this grow is over, if making mistakes promotes learning well... Im a fricking PHD ... Ok progress on Maggie the yellow is limited to the very top as buds are building in particular those a couple inches from the top. Thinking another root drench is in order, cant hurt and letting her dry a bit as a prep. Looks like tomorrow Layla doing ok she exhibits far fewer problems but the same issue are present she is just a hell of plant along with the Runtz which she shares the tent. Thinking about the feeding tomorrow will decide what to do then. They have plenty of time to finish up, had some issues on germination on the grow following so looks like it may be delayed a week from the scheduled 2 weeks. Maggie may need it. 11/19 Have stumbled onto to something it seems. The further I move the lights out, they are now at twice the "ideal" placement of 14" at 28" and the yellowing is disappearing to a great extent. Problem with this of course is not enough light at bud sites not on the canopy which lets face it is most of your bud. It is absolutely something that makes the plants insanely susceptible to light burn. New one for me but maybe some of yall know so making a question of it. Pics at lights out only and I missed today so new pics later if I get back in time. Update : Defoliated and tightened training on all three to spread things out from the center and open up the light and air paths. Raising the lights is working just wish I knew why as lights are higher than crap with little room for more than a few more inches. Would drop the watts to 450 but need the heat to keep the grow room level as our temps here swing 40 degrees all the time. Something I learned with the help of a carbon filter. If things normalize will begin dropping lights to see what happens. 11/20 Setting the lights at 24" as I am not risking yield any further than that on Layla and the Runtz, Have the canopy as level as it can be with Brandy getting the least light being on a coco coir block (heh) for height, which she is responding well to since I opened up the plant and no longer worried over mold issues in that main bud. Have Layla on a milk crate to bring her into decent light as well as the Runtz. She is just a lovely thing building those white crystalline buds. Maggie has turned into a beast at least I know her root ball is huge from the growth above. Seriously defoliated her removing several small lower branches and leaves blocking light and air paths. Next feed will be continuing what seems to be working, Epsom salt and bloom nuets (no calmag with epsom salt) with a foliar feed after lights out which may well be with calmag. Foliar feeding today at lights out, one quart sprayer with 1ml CaliMagic and 0.5ml wetting agent un-PH warmed to 75 F before spraying (our tap water comes out at @50F so...), just trying to hit hard and effective * New Pics after foliar Update Folks its taken 8 weeks and a final piece of the puzzle provided by Grey_wolf resulted in a near full strength cal-mag foliar feeding and the last def bites the dust. See what happens from here but its the first time I have felt good about this grow since the bad time germing at week one. *big sigh of relief* Have a whole list of things I will never do again in soil more about that at harvest. Right now I need to work on why calcium is blocked at the roots but thats another day right now I just wanna look at em. 😁 11/22 Another foliar feed same as before just diluted 30% and all three got it today JIC Cannot find a pale leaf or top and hairs are standing up on the top buds for once and buds building nice on the lower ares the defs were cleared up first. Going to stop the foliars for a few days see what happens but will resume at first sign of need. Maggie has potential even after all this and we going to help her be all she can :D 11/22 Feeding day - Bio-Bloom 7ml - calmag 4ml - Recharge .5tsp / gal at 6.5PH to all three. No foliar today 11/23 The thickness of the hair growth on Layla is amazing! Will try and get pics at lights out of it if my crappy camera will catch it. Never seen anything like it, once again THIS this is what we intended by growing Stardawg :) Update: Pics and vid hope it comes through well enough as for the green in that tent and the dense hairs on Layla

Pretty stoked where she decided to pop out. Gives me a little LST room. Gonna play it by ear with that constricted root space before I try anything drastic. 😅 Just keeping her humid and watered with 6.8ph + a tiny bit of root hormone. Probably start some organic nutes next weekend. Hope everyone else had an excellent contest growing week and the ladies are healthy! ✌️🌱

Straw lectric lemonade is one of the best plants in the tent. No surprise seeing every seed in the pack popped really well so this is the best out of 8 plants or so I’m super excited about this one I had my on this one soon as I saw it photo on NASC when it dropped a year ago or so

Hola familia, siento la ausencia estos últimos 8 días, pero estoy de vuelta, estás misty gorilla auto de Zambezaseeds, están fenómeno, ya empiezan a desprender aromas, y eso es agradable, espero que engorden más estas flores por lo demás va bien, entonces la temperatura la mantenemos por debajo de 26 la humedad por debajo del 40% , sigo alimentando las con Agrobeta, por supuesto, os voy adelantando que va a ver muchos cambios cara al futuro y para bien, os iré diciendo poco a poco. Un saludo fumetillas y buenos humos.

2022-12-22 If you can grow a Solocup, you can grow everything. I love Solocups, growing with Limited Resources ( Growmedium), shows the true Mastery of Growing. I always have so much fun in growing into small Cups This grow was a solocup with around 0,5l.... so every easy to me with so much Growmedium Plants turned out Happy, and well formed Buds
