5.07.24 Nice and slow

01/17/2026 So today was not much of a change. The environment is a little better now that the other heater is in there. I have a feeling I'll be swapping these two out throughout the run. Very unfortunate. This week's readings look like shit. The temp of the bucket was 75° so naturally everything is thrown off. The pH was high, like 6.7 high. The EC and TDS were higher than last week. However I feel like that might be due to me soaking the hydroton in the mix for a day. It must have leeched into the bucket. Also might be a good thing. Now I don't have to increase the nutrients. The hydroton did it for me. How convenient. I added the ice bottles of course. Still no roots. Shame that. Last run, I got roots pretty quickly. This time, both are slow going. And I bet it's from the low heat. On the other hand, she started her second node yesterday and is starting to spread out. Looking good. I also increased the light intensity up to level 2. See readings below. So far they seem to be fine. I'll keep an eye on them for the day. Maybe with the extra light, they'll take off. We'll see. It should also help bring the temp up. Week Start Readings: Water: pH: 6.59 EC: 960 TDS: 476 Temp: 75°!!!! Light Readings: DLI: 22.7 mol. PPFD: 344 Environment: Temp: 71.8° RH: 58.6% VPD: 1.1 kPa CO2: 719 A note on the water readings. This is what I pulled this morning before adding the ice bottles. I thought I added some last night, but apparently not. So I'm waiting for the temp to cool down and I'll take new measurements along with the current ones. Just to see the difference the water temp made. From the beginning of last week, everything increased. I might have to pH if the lower temp doesn't do it for me. Current water readings after pHing. pH: 5.8 EC: 958 TDS: 476 ppm Temp: 67.6° That's it for now. 01/18/2026 No issues today. pHing not needed. EC and TDS are the same. Temp was high though. 72.4° so I replaced the ice bottles. No roots yet. I didn't think there would be today. I feel like maybe tomorrow. With the amount of energy she spent catching up to the light, her roots were neglected. Once they hit the water, things should start to pan out. Hopefully she stretches, but not like how she did as a seedling. 01/19/2026 Not much going on today. She's looking really good despite the super long stem. Thin leaves. She's definitely a sativa dominant strain. I can't wait to see how she turns out in the next couple of weeks. Great color. No roots yet though. 🤔 Interesting. Water was kinda warm this morning. I need to remember to add ice bottles before I go to bed. Still can't get the heater to turn off. It just won't. The air is too cold? The humidity is a nightmare too. But that's understandable. It's like 25% in the apartment. So basically nothing I can do about it. If the humidifier drops below level 8, the humidity immediately starts to plummet. It's crazy. Like the air just won't allow for any moisture to hold. I have it right next to the plants though, so they should be getting plenty of humidity. Later this week, I'll move the humidifier back so it's not on top of the plants anymore. Alrighty that's it from me. Update: I double checked under the basket and there is a long single root coming out. Hooray! 01/20/2026 More roots! More and more. There's quite a few roots coming out now. All clean and white. She looks really good. Proper growth is starting now that the roots are coming out. First set of 5 finger leaves are out and growing. Leaves are thin. Just like a sativa. Lookin good. Great color too. I forgot to swap the ice bottles out last night... Again. I have now set a reminder on my phone. But yah, I checked everything after the bottles were in the water for a couple of hours. Looks good. pH is 6.1, temp is 68°. EC and TDS are both fine as well. The environment is a nightmare. It's so bouncy and I don't know why. Well, I do know, it's the fans blowing. All over the place. But it doesn't make sense. They are in the same position as they were last run and last run had no issues. I don't understand. I had the fan set to 2. 2 out of 10. Now it's at 1. Hopefully that helps. Anyway, that's all from me for the day. 01/21/2026 I remembered to swap the ice bottles last night. And I swapped them again this morning. I need 4 more to be able to swap them out in another 8 hours. Then I should have cool water for the rest of the run. Kind of a pain to be honest as I prefer not to disturb the waters under the bucket lids. Removing the lid 3 times a day seems excessive. Granted they're only open for less than a minute. Even less than 30 seconds. So it's not bad, but still. That's a lot of disturbance. She looks great! Good color, growth rate looks nice. She's 5.5" tall now. That's an inch and a half since the beginning of the week. A little slow for my liking, but she also just started the veg stage. Maybe we'll see a half inch a day over the next 4 to 5 weeks. Maybe an inch if the conditions are ideal. If I can do it, they will be ideal. I just need to remember to check the light intensity. Don't over feed. And when you notice anything weird, check the EC and TDS. Swap out water if the readings increase. Add more nutrients if they drop. Leave the water alone if there's no change. And don't over do it. Keep the environment in a reasonable range. (Surprisingly, it's never out of range, just bounces all over it.) That's all for today. 01/22/2026 Explosive growth has started! A little stretch, but mostly leaves spreading out. However, her first true node has 3 finger leaves. It should be 5 finger. I wonder what happened. Can't be too much light, could it? But it might be the environment. Always changing from minute to minute. Still no idea how to fix that. I only had 2 ice bottles available last night, so each bucket got 1. This morning I swapped for the normal 2 per bucket. I haven't tested the water yet today. I've been kind of lacking on it. I'll check today and put the readings in. Other than that, we are happy and healthy. She's 5" now. Don't know how I measured 5.5" yesterday. But she's 5" now. No matter, she'll be fine. I'm expecting good growth from her. She can clearly stretch and enjoys a good amount of light. I think I'm going to increase the nutrient dose next week. I'm thinking 1/2 dose next week. I was gonna do 2/3 dose, but I think that might be a bit too much for now. So half dose next week. Maybe I'll change it to 2/3 half way through the week. I'm not sure. It all depends on how she takes it in. I didn't see anything about her nutrient uptake. 01/23/2026 The water was a bit warm this morning. Not too bad, but warm. I actually checked the numbers today. pH: 6.1 EC: 1035 TDS: 556 Temp: 68.4° She's starting to really grow. And her stem is holding itself up now. I'm just keeping the little prop thing up until I know she won't tip over. I do keep a small breeze going all the time, so her stem should be pretty strong when it matters. Her color is a little splotchy. Well, kinda. It looks like the new growth is t getting enough food, but the rest of the plantooka awesome, except for the weird 3 finger leaves. The environment is somewhat better now that I dropped the humidity down. I figure it hits the plants enough where if I drop it down to 55% it will hit less, thus turning 55% into 60ish%. Not dampening off, no fungal infections nothing. That's the goal.

The plant has two colas with signs of polyploidy - both colas "twins" are on the same level, opposite each other 😍 I shot a short video - I still need to add special effects, for this blockbuster 😂 The height of the plant is only 23 cm 😀

Water I literally watered it like 2-3 times during veg other then da the weather has been wonderful but still not out of the woods yet I’m quite interested in what will play out next a lot of rein colder temps I look at the Tri comes but not sure if ready will try to post some pics of that what ya think growmies these were straight seeds out of a smoke shop bag ole n behold this these Two girls came to be more focused on this one since the other is way scrawny grown in same soil same feed n everything is true who every seed displays its own phenotypes

This week the plants started to show some stress, each one something different, today I rinsed them thoroughly and watered them again, hopefully they will recover and I caught it in time. But they are still growing and blooming. They need to be pruned again But I can't now until they look better.

All plants have had some good form, kinda perfect

This week I've just been feeding, watering and defoliated the girls.

Got rid of the bugs using rogis garlic and predatory mites

By the looks of things they appear to have two weeks to go more or less from now on no nutrients will be put in the water only the right pH. I want to see some yellow leaves meaning the plant is start to consume the nutrients from inside their nutrient Bank resereserved meaning all extra salt nutrients don't go into your buds creating a smoother smoke. The plant has been a joy to grow and there buds look incredibly dense and heavy as well as very nice smell a whole bunch hard balls all over the branches what's a great plant to grow. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Cada dos días las riego, 2 veces con los nutrientes después de activarlos 24 horas con una bomba de aire para acuario pequeña y una vez solo con agua con ph de 6.0

Simplemente una de las mejores Super Silver Haze o muy parecido que probado! Una pasada de sabores cítricos y terroso a la vez...hay que decir que sabor a Lemon predomina! Una gozada Farmers.

plants are looking great, nice and thick and growing well. Smells are increasing and so is bud density. Giving them water and the occasional top dressing, They should be fine till harvest now. Added in some bokashi grains to the medium to help unlock even more potential for the plants and nutrient uptake. If that's how it works, more a less kitchen sink mentality and does not seem to hurt. Going to be hard to check the trichomes on this plant as it is so dark but will need to keep and eye on it in the next few weeks and it will be getting close to its estimated 13w harvest date. I made a little tea out of some of the flower the spider mites/thrips where not touching. in hopes some of the extract will stay on the plant and prevent them from eating it, I honestly can't tell if it did a thing, I like to think it did something but doubtful. Also got my hands on a bunch of predator mites. There where a bit past the BB date so hopefully they will still be active/alive. Side note uploading videos into the diaries is great and all, but takes to long to resize and process, can't hit save till its all done... no idea what its doing in the backend.

Inicio de floración , fotoperiodo 12/12h. bajo 300W, ATS Pro 2,7 µmol/J. Por lo que hace al cultivo. Una segunda aplicación foliar con Spider boom 3ml/l para prevenir posibles plagas de araña roja. Todo y habiendo unas temperaturas en el exterior de 0ºC en el interior se está bastante bién. 😋 Así de primeras diria que esta luminaria me parece de lo mejorcito que he tenido nunca, reparte la luz como ninguna otra penetrando mucho mejor. Otra es la comodidad para bajar o subir la potencia y la posibilidad de añadirle un controlador que monitorea la temperatura de la sala de cultivo, el fotoperiodo y la intensidad, así como la atenuación de potencia. Esta semana cansado de ir bajando o subiendo la potencia del extractor durante todo el año he decidido probar un SMSCom Smart Controller. De esta manera espero no sufrir tanto por las subidas ni por las bajadas de temperatura. Muchas veces son las que por A o por B descuido el interior y casulamente son los dias que el tiempo cambia repentinamente. Un primer foliar con Delta9 para que se pongan fuertes para lo que les viene.

03/12 - Day 68 Girls are putting out some really nice aromas! I’m assuming this is the last push for this strain, buds are really tight and super hard when squeezed on (B) & (C) All around the trichomes are still pretty clear and no amber yet.
