Been doing a lot of tweaking with the new gear and multiple sets of plants. Been quite a busy week and probably behind a bit on keeping track of everything. I'm currently working on trying to get better charts made to keep track of things like light schedules, detailed feedings, height change per day, etc. My current setup is my oldest 1st set of plants (5plants) and my 3rd set (6 seedlings), in my new 4x4 Vivosun grow tent equipped with a Spider Farmer SF-1000. I have kept my 2nd set of plants (4plants) in my original 4x2 Vivosun equipped with 600W Vivosun LED. These plants had been extremely stressed due to not having soil or containers available with shipping constraints. They've been doing a lot better since then and I'm hoping they make a full recovery. Fingers crossed! Running 24hr light schedule. Both tents equipped with temp/hygro high and low ranging from about 71-81°F with an average of about 78°F. Watering by plant pot weight, according to GH FloraTrio + CalMag Schedule. Mild LST via tucking of leaves blocking developing sites. No more than 3 leaves removed per plant, per day to avoid stress. ______________________________________ Can't wait to start upgrading the quality of my journals and to hear you all's feedback! Happy growing and good vibes as always 🌱 ______________________________________ 4/29/20 - Update Okeydoke! Feel like I've been doing too much running around everywhere. Sorry for being so hectic the past week or so if anyone has been keeping up with this 😂 For the time being, I'm currently running all three sets of my plants in my 4x4 tent. It's running all three of my fans, both lights and has the carbon filter system and humidifier hooked up to it as well. I basically have the other 4x2 just sitting as a shell for the moment. Either planning to save it for climate control when curing the first harvest or sell it to invest in another Spider Farmer SF-1000 LED or equivalent and possibly another 4x4 tent. I have started a grow chart that's still a little sketchy but if nothing else having it here hells me keep up with it that much better.

The first set of plant's nutrients was made to 4gal of water. The mix is a ratio of (Cal-Mag/GHMicro/GHGro/GHBloom) It's mixed (for the 4gal) in order; 10mL, 5mL, 10mL, 10mL. 440ppm @ 98.5°F 890EC @ 2.2°F us/cm This new nutrient mix was applied for the first time tonight and will run about a week. I'm running a bit behind according to the GH schedule I was following due to stunting the growth I felt like over a couple issues to where I have them an extra week of veg nutrients. As I have defoliated them and they have seemed to take it pretty well, I'm hoping the increase in bloom nutrients will kick the buds into overdrive for production and the plants will start to thicken up again. The second mix follows the same order as the first set in regards to nutrient usage. This mix is only mixed to one gallon. It as follows; 2.5mL, 2.5mL, 1.25mL, 2.5mL. 500ppm @ 98.6°F 992EC @ 0.4°F us/cm This is mostly following the same GH nutrient schedule as the first set only about 2 weeks behind. These plants suffered from being in too small of containers for too long and I believe this stunted their growth. I've had them in suitable new containers for a couple days now and hoping this new mix of increased nutrients will bring them back to life a bit and get them back in schedule. I'm honestly not too sure still about the ppm and EC numbers but a few bud-dies have mentioned that it plays important roles in plant health. So until I can better research good numbers and how to control it for my set up, I'm at the very least trying to keep track of the data. I apologise about this large chunk of text! I hope you enjoy the diary anyway in spite of the fact. I'm loving the look of the buds and everything seems to be going great. Only a few months to go! 😎

Buds are growing, all levels are stable so started to remove some fanleaves. Still 2-3 weeks to harvest so when I cut on a daily basis I believe there are no fanleaves left at harvest time. Then I can just cut them and put them in the drying net. Turned down CO2 to 600PPM so they can rest a bit... not sure what will happen now.

Day 35 flower — grow diary drop 🌿🔥 Girls are looking sick right now. Canopy’s totally sealed and the colas are stacking hard — smell in the box is absolutely cracking when I open the doors. Cooler nights are doing some magic on the colours; Kush Crasher is going deep purple on the underside and some leaves are going almost black — proper kush vibes. Quick lineup reminder (so readers know who’s who): Back left: Wedding Cake (Portland) — frosty, resin on point. Back center: Kush Crasher — purple toning, heavy trichome coverage. Back right: AK-47 — denser, more classic compact buds forming. Front left: Double Krush — airy but stacking nicely, very resinous tops. Front centre: WAPPA — main star atm, big central cola fattening up steady. Front right: Detroit Runtz — sticky, fruity pheno showing good bulk. Wappa is producing a fat main cola with loads of side nodes filling in — this one’s gonna be a heavy, chunky top. Wedding Cake and Double Krush are thickening up and getting frosty fast. AK-47 keeps its compact commercial shape (good for scrog). Detroit Runtz has that crystal-sparkle and is smelling fruity even at 35 days. Kush Crasher’s colour is the eye-candy — those dark tones + the trichome frosting = lovely contrast across the canopy. Notes from the tent: Stretch is done, canopy even and nearly locked in. I spotted some slight N-pull on older leaves (pale lower leaves) — nothing drama, going to tweak feed a touch. Big aroma — open the door and the terp cloud hits. 😍 Humidity still my main worry (garage runs cold + RH spikes at night) — keep an eye on bud-zone airflow and dehumid duty. What I’ll do next few days: one final tidy/clean under the canopy tomorrow, support any heavy tops, lean feeding into bloom (keep top-max / bloom up) and keep that Wappa center nice and happy — don’t want to stress it now. Overall — very pleased. The tent is showing the payoff from the SCROG & LST/HST work: even canopy, lots of tops, and colour + smell coming through strong. Can’t wait to see these fatten in the next 2–3 weeks. Green vibes ✌️💚

Hallo, ich möchte mir aus ästhetischen Gründen kein Zelt holen und betrachte die Pflanze als „Zimmerpflanze“. Der Geruch stört mich und meinen Mitbewohner auch nicht von daher. Das ist jetzt mein zweiter Grow mit der kleinen Sansi Growlight, welche ich vorher einfach für Zimmerpflanzen genutzt hatte. Habe den Samen 48 Stunden in nassem Zewa keimen lassen und dann direkt ins Substrat eingetopft.

2nd week and I can tell one thing for sure. I'm really bad gardener 😬 Had to leave for 5 days and that was let's say suboptimal. Another proof that this strain is able to live with little to none attention. Changed the light hours to 20/4 to let them rest for at least a little time. Last big change was me finally finishing my controll system so even without me being present conditions were almost constant to preseted values (temp +/-0.2°C and humidity +/- 6%) Really happy with their grow so i hope it all be OK.

Hi everybody this germination week went great very excited to see how she is .she looks very happy and healthy normally I start them with nothing except for a bit of cal Mag .for the first week then I move on to about 250 parts per million . But I have noticed with these newer genetics that there are a lot hungrier. So I started it off with 350 parts per million . And it seems to be doing great . Thank you for looking at the diary we'll be an update every week and always keep in mind it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

Hi everyone ! buds are fatn up well 😍 some of them are huuuge, lot of pistils and snow 😁 !! smell is stronger now ^^ See you next week

11 weeks of flowering, 2 weeks of drying and 1 week of curing.

Keeps getting bigger and closer she smells really fruity and sweet

Repotted veg area. Most are still babies. Will receive final transplants before going into flower in a couple more weeks. The clone I took from the sativa-dom is doing well, as is the og lemon x cupcake. Will veg these two for the longest, and will eventually end up in 5-7 gal pots. Also plan to take some cuttings from these two. Two girls in flower are approx 21 days apart. I call them the supercroppeds because that’s what they are. Sc1 is on day 49 of flower a/o aug28 and sc2 is on day 28. Both seem happy and healthy. Believe there may be an abundance of nitrogen in sc1 as some leaf tips are burnt and folding back. Two plants about a month in veg have been put into flower as well. A sort of 12/12 from seed kinda thing. I have been experimenting with the basics thus far. A sea of green will be underway in a couple more weeks, once these babies grow to toddlers. Been outdoors mostly, no nutrients. Plain Jane from Mother Earth. Comes out great each year. All unknown strain bagseed. A tad different growing in a 2x2 room.

01/06 - Week 5 of flower - Increased nute feed to daily micro-dosing and increased Silica feed - temps running 72 (F) 65% humidity - Using light brown sugar as carbohydrate. 01/08 - Flowering coming along nicely - Light brown sugar for carbohydrate subs seems to be working effectively - micro dosing has continued with one morning feed before lights out and another 2hrs after lights on. Feeding solution temps are approximately 35 (F) - Drop in water feed temps has increased trichome production.

It's too hot here, i think it will be a problem for my terpenes

4/3 - she is taking her sweet ass time gaining height and I'm getting bored with this grow at this point. I'm going to defoliate every other branch completely to the top to see how those differ from the ones that I leave more or less alone from this point forward. She is taking on a lot of water, every other day is a must.for? 4/6 - she got fed yesterday and needed more water today, she's showing a tiny bit of nutrient burn so I will be keeping it easy for a bit, I also chopped a lot of foliage out. Only the tops left and preflowers showing everywhere 4/8 - thirsty lady 4/9 - more water! Added cal/Mag, 6.2ph now, she's got something going on

Another week has flown by! The girls are doing great, cruise control this week as I have just been monitoring RH and temps. Trying to keep them as low as possible, I’ve been getting as low as 74 during the day and 68 at night. I finally took a look a look at the trichomes with my jewellers loop, lots of cloudy, and a few amber around the leaves and top colas, but still lot’s of clear trichomes. I’ve ordered myself a wireless/usb digital microscope to assist with the process, and looks like it will be here just in time to determine harvest day. 😎🎄 I started by eliminating the nutrients at the beginning of the week. I typically allow for 3-4 pure water feeds before I harvest, and at the rate they have been drinking, this should be enough to get through the 7-12 days they have before harvest. I don’t flush, but rather “rinse” with normal water amounts, allowing the plant to use up the remaining nutrients in the soil. This also allows me to recover most of the soil from my grows and reuse ♻️ with other soil mix. There has been great debate and a great deal of bro science out there for many years, but the recent studies suggest there is no difference in end result when it comes to flushing or using nutrients right until the end, if a proper dry and cure is performed. What do you think? What do you prefer to do? Thanks for reading this far, leave me a comment with your preferred method 👊🇨🇦❤️

In love with all of my 5 plants of black cherry punch but this one is one of the most beautiful ones, 100% purple flowers, very dense and awesome fruity sweet smell love it!

New ventilation is working well Got the RH down by around 10% Microscope from Amazon doesn't work well for checking trichomes as quality and focus is to shitty for my restless hands, iPhone works better atm
