Week 02 Introduction
This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully...
[START OF WEEK 02]
Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger!
--- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs.
--- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water
--- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8
--- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton.
- [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now.
--- Even the new leaves are really yellow.
--- Decided to add more base nutes.
--- Added 4ml of Sensi A
--- Added 4ml of Sensi B
--- Now at about
--- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM.
--- PH was at 6,
--- Also raised the water level a bit more.
--- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue.
--- Please live!
Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow.
--- Decided to do a reservoir change.
--- 4.5gal of distilled water
--- 8ml of Sensi Grow A
--- 8ml of Sensi Grow B
--- 8ml of Voodoo Juice
--- 4ml of B-52
--- 4ml of CaliMagic
--- 4ml of Hydroguard
--- 4 drops of Superthrive
--- PH'd down to 5.8
--- Solution strength: 302 PPM
--- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm).
--- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice?
--- I hope she gets better soon!
- [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow.
--- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear.
--- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon.
--- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton.
--- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM.
--- Added 8ml more of Sensi A
--- Added 8ml more of Sensi B
--- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water.
--- PPMs went up to 411.
--- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay.
--- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1.
Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: Looks like more root growth!
--- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky.
--- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8.
--- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs
--- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot.
- [2200]: Root is getting longer!
--- Slime is returning. Not sure why.
--- Solution strength: 357 PPMs
--- PH: 6.1
--- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime.
--- Added 16ml of Sensizym
--- Added 5ml of Hydroguard
--- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice
--- New solution strength: 430 PPMs
--- New PH: 6.1
--- Top fed for a minute.
--- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime.
--- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl!
Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011
-----------------------------------
- [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now!
--- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured!
--- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients.
--- Added 8ml of Sensi A
--- Added 8ml of Sensi B
--- Added 4ml of B-52
--- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs.
--- PH was at 6.1
--- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels.
- [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime!
--- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria.
--- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs.
--- PH was at 6.2
--- Added 8ml of Bud Candy
--- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs.
--- PH also went up to 6.3
--- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth.
--- Top fed for a minute.
--- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow.
Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012
-----------------------------------
- [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime.
--- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity.
--- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs
--- PH was at 6.3
--- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536.
--- PH was still at 6.3
--- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute.
- [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though.
--- Solution strength: 514 PPMs
--- PH: 6.5
--- Added PH down.
--- New solution strength: 518 PPMs
--- New PH: 5.2
--- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low.
--- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton.
Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013
-----------------------------------
- [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow.
--- Solution strength: 514 PPMs
--- PH: 5.6
--- Top fed for a minute.
--- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then.
- [2145]: Looking pretty much the same.
--- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected.
--- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good.
--- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything.
--- Lowered the water level to below the net pot.
--- Then top fed for a minute.
Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014
-----------------------------------
- [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY!
--- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean.
--- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful.
--- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket.
--- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot.
--- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo.
--- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength).
--- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form.
--- Then I ran the water pump.
- [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines.
--- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution.
--- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak.
- [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton.
- [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system.
--- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot.
--- Ran system again to sterilize even more.
- [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse.
--- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again.
--- Did this a few more times over about an hour.
- [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water.
--- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A
--- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B
--- Added 12ml of B-52
--- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice
--- Added 16ml Sensizym
--- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs
--- PH was at 5.6
--- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up.
--- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients.
--- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute.
--- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better!

After surviving a wicked thunderstorm last weekend the Devil's still stand tall. I was able to get some branches tied down and everything secured. Tallest girl measures just over 9ft, up above the app will only allow me to enter 118 inches as the most for height when the tallest plant is 126 inches tall. The peak of the greenhouse frame is 8ft. Been having a hard time keeping Monster Bloom in stock so been using slightly less and compensating with Alaska Morobloom 0-10-10. Stepped up the Purpinator a little bit to 1 1/2 tsp, and plan to > as flowering continues. Hopefully in this next week they blow up with calyxes. Was also considering reintroducing my waterproof lights in places to be used during the daytime where light is scarce. On the other hand it's kind of nice having a lower electric bill, haha. HAPPY GROWING TO ALL!

Week 7/
We’re switching to plain water. For the ladies, I’d say the trichomes are about 50% cloudy on the Frosted and Kush Purple, while the Sticky has a lower percentage of cloudy trichomes since she’ll be the last one we’ll harvest. I’ll harvest early. I’m fine with the effects either way for the plants concerned
12/12 switches : 12/06/2026
Back: Frosted Grape
Front left: Purple Cookie
Front right: Stick Berry
Watering remains moderate: ~600 mL for the larger plants and ~300 mL for the smaller ones, with 1 L being the maximum applied so far.

🌱 Sour Apple⠀⠀⠀
🌸 flowering 9 weeks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💚 70% Indica, 30% Sativa⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💣up to 27% THC⠀⠀⠀⠀
👅Apple, lemon⠀⠀⠀
⚖️ 550g/m²⠀
Sour Apple was created by an intersection of the original Sour Diesel and a Pure Kush. It is an indica dominant hybrid with a combination of both indica and sativa effects. It has an delicious intense taste of sour apples and lemon and a gigantic potency.
The rockhard buds are covered in a thick layer of milky white trichomes and are packed with sweet resin. Users describe the high of the sour Apple as a strong mental shift, a uplifting head high that leaves you motivated and focused with a sense of overwhelming euphoria and social tendencies. This is followed by a slow fade into an intensely overwhelming couch-lock. Sour Apple sends her 27% of THC stright to your mind to kick you in other psychedelic spheres. We proudly present this unique goddess to all the growers in the world.
GROWING SOUR APPLE
When growing indoors it is a good idea using screen of green or sea of green methods. You can expect big yields of 500g or more per squae meter indoors, 700g per plant outdoors. The flowering time is 9-11 weeks. Indoors, Sour Apple is a vigorous grower with many side stems which can be trimmed to keep the plant in bounds. Indoors, the plants grow between 1,00-1,50 m depending on the introduction of the flowering phase, outdoors Sour Apple can reach four metres of hight.
MEDICAL USE
Because of its strong effects Sour Apple is an ideal strain for treating patients who suffer from conditions such as chronic stress or anxiety, chronic pain due to injury or illness, and sleep disorders (insomnia and sleep apnea). In low doses it is daytime suitable for medical applications, at higher doses, it is the ideal weed for medication at the evening.

The plant is still looking lovely, and her buds look wonderful. I’m continuing with the flush of properly pH’ed water chilled to 46.3F. My initial pH was 7.7, so I added 15 gtts (1.5ml) of pH DOWN which adjusted the pH to 6.2. I’d like it to be higher, but working with pH DOWN is so much harder than pH UP! The TDS going in was 75 ppm. Our heat wave is still going strong, and the temperature in the tent was 88F with humidity at 44%. The runoff pH was 5.3, and TDS runoff was 1897 ppm. That’s a reduction of 410 ppm from the watering on the 12th. At this rate it’ll be next week or later till I can harvest. If it does, I may end up harvesting sooner and curing longer. 🤷♂️ I’ll have to wait and hope I guess.
16 Jul 2021
I’m continuing with the flush today, and I’m beginning to think I should start flushing more often, yet I don’t want to damage the plant. At this stage of growth I don’t know if overwatering is as detrimental as it is to a younger, less developed plant. I want to harvest it before she gets too far along in her trichome development. She was clearly ready when I checked them on July 10th, and I don’t want her to get much farther along. Today I’m giving water at tap temps because at this point I don’t believe it matters. Everything I’m deciding to do is purely by instinct and trial and error. I feel like a researcher working on viable material that has a known outcome in general, but getting to the final stage (harvest) is detrimental in how the individual works the issues, or problems, and prepares for a desired outcome. Only each strain is different, and learning to adjust to those differences is the learning process. I never knew that growing weed could be so much fun, or as stressful! But I dig it!
Today she received a gallon of water with an initial pH of 7.7. I added pH down 5 gtts (.5ml), which adjusted the pH to 6.4. TDS going in was 91 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 1407 ppm. Temperature in the tent was 84F, and humidity was 60%. There was a 390 ppm reduction from the last watering 2 days ago. At least it’s moving in the right direction.
18 Jul 2021
The flush is going well as you’ll be able to see once I post my numbers a little later in this note. Her buds are still looking awesome, and she still looks healthy for the most part. Her leaves on the fan side still look dried up on the edges, but not completely dead. Since it’s happening on both of my plants in the same location, the cause was easy to surmise as I’ve noted it before. I’ll be ready for harvest in about a week or less, and then her tent mate will be left alone for a while. Today she was given a gallon of water chilled to 57.2F with an initial pH of 8.0. I added 8 gtts (>1ml) of pH DOWN in 2 separate increments to adjust it to pH 6.7. The TDS going in was 80 ppm. The runoff pH was 6.1, and TDS runoff was 784 ppm. That’s a reduction of 623 ppm since the last flushing/watering. So I’m down into the 3 digit realm now, so hopefully it won’t be too much longer! She smells like blueberry muffins! I’m not even kidding a little. Like blueberry muffins. I’ve never seen a better named strain ever!
20 Jul 2021
Flushing continues in my grow room today. I swear this part takes so long and is so frustrating. I only have myself to blame, but all is still good. She is ready for harvest, but I still need to finish this up first. The TDS runoff shows that the level is still dropping, just not as fast as I’d like it to be. Today I chilled a gallon of water to 57.7F, then got her ready to give my baby. The initial pH was 8.1, so I added pH DOWN 10 gtts (1ml), which adjusted the pH to 6.8. The TDS going in was 74 ppm. Runoff today: pH 6.3, and TDS 658 ppm. Our heat wave is still kicking hard, so the tent temperature was 88F, and humidity was 49%. I’m still hoping to harvest in a few days to a week from now. It all just depends on the flush. I didn’t bother with any pics today. Mainly because the lights went off as I was finishing up and figured there aren’t any changes from 2 days ago to bother. However, today ends a week, so the next will be a fresh week, so I’ll take pics then.

Bueno esta semana es la última de vida de nuestras pequeñas, un tamaño reducido y muchas juntas... pero una calidad.. dureza y resina... envidiables.. Esta semana usamos solamente agua con un ph de 6,2 y líquido solo usamos la final solution de b.a.c para limpiar nuestras raíces, al igual que aumentamos la cantidad de agua por riego para ir lavando bien nuestras raices. El olor es muy fuerte pero un aroma apetecible a más no poder... en cuanto abro el armario para los riegos y cuidados sale un olor... que si no fuera por el generador de ozono apestaría la casa!😍😋 En grandes rasgos una variedad de floración relativamente corta.. y con unos resultados impecables.. Hay una media de 5 puntas por planta y algunas incluso más!😍

Dear diary,
Week 2 done and on the books!
Everything went mostly fine up until the very end of the week were I noticed some strangeness with another one of the strains in the tent.
More info on that will be in my other diary for Gorilla Cookies and will be covered more overall in next weeks update as I try to fix any potential issues.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
⏰ Day 11:
Calmag foliar applied 2 times during the day at 0.8ms and corrected ph to 6.3.
They also got their regular feeding at 1.27ms 6.4ph with me increasing the light to 250ppfd.
⏰ Day 12:
They were given a foliar and watering of calmag water at 1.13ms and 6.3ph early in the morning as issues had not cleared up.
Later in the evening they got a regular feeding at 1.41ms, 5.9ph and lights were increased to 275ppfd.
⏰ Day 13:
2 calmag foliars, gave feeding at 1.54ms 5.8ph and increased lights to 285ppfd
⏰ Day 14:
They have reached 3 nodes marking the end of seedling stage and beginning of veg!
They were fed with 1.53ms 5.8ph and four 3 liter airpots was prepped with 75/25 coco/perlite and watered with the same feed until runoff before transplanting.
As I can only grow four plants W.C #1 and #3 were selected as the final two.
Temps are around 26 and RH 75% with lights on and 24C 80% off.
Will be taking down the RH slightly over the coming few days to 65%.
⏰ Day 15:
Gave the girls a feeding at 1.57ms 5.6ph.
Also increased light to 305ppfd and they do look a bit droopy, but that’s not to surprising after the transplant.
⏰ Day 16:
Daily feeding at 6ph 1.59ms and increased light to 320 ppfd.
Aiming for 465 ppfd by the end of next week as that would move us up from 20 to 30 DLI.
⏰ Day 17:
Sprayed a foliar coat of Leaf Coat from Biobizz as prevention for pest in the morning.
For the evening they got their feeding at 1.58ms 6.2ph and foliar spray of calmag as a plant of the other strain in the tent is looking a bit odd.

Amazing progress across the board in the tent the last week. Development has been positive for The New and Black Dog, Bubba has swollen up bud wise, and it’s still another week away or so (flowering is supposed to be 50-55 and we’re at 50 today). Chemdawg smell is getting stronger but not too aggressive, and it’s fate king nicely on most colas. Even at the bottom of the plant the buds look nice. It’s an amazing strain, can’t wait to smoke it.

We’ve rolled into Week 4, and it has been an absolute blast thanks to the gorgeous, non-stop sunshine we’ve been getting.
I decided to take a bit of a bolder step with this girl and topped her at the beginning of the week. Some growers are hesitant to top autos, but she handled it like an absolute champ! She didn't even slow down for a second and just kept growing right through it. To support her shape, I’ve also been adjusting the LST alongside the topping.
Just like her sister, I added a layer of pine bark on top of her soil to protect the upper layer from drying out under the sun. I'm still keeping the watering schedule down to just twice a week using straight tap water plus a bit CalMag.
She has completely recovered, looks super healthy, and is charging forward.
Head over to my other diary to see how the Black Orchid Auto is enjoying her sun-drenched week!

I will run Top Booster for 1 week then switch to Top Shooter for the remainder of flower.
I wasn't expecting the extra 10" this past week. The only thing that is keeping up with Acid Dough (out of 4 other varieties in the scrog) is the pure sativa I put in the back corner!
Acid Dough is a monster, even though the other 4 varieties were started 3.5w before the Acid Doughs they cover 6.5 sqft of the 16 sqft of the scrog. Oh btw the acid dough are 3/10 plants in the
Scrog.
8/16 added a second trellis for support. And some more Acid Dough bud shots.
8/18 💥 the Acid Dough's directly under the light are sprouting Trichs (small yet). They are up to drinking about 4gal a day water and eating nutes even faster.

First I soaked the seed for16 hours. Then I put them in a moist paper towel until they sprouted a tail and I placed them in rockwool. Day three I put them in rockwool. I shot for 50 ppm and put a drop of unsulfured molasses in the water for germination.
