i feed my plants npk or micro grow bloom and cal magic on mondays and organics and fungia microorgainsims on thursdays splits up feeding sch.

Smooth grow all round - poor weather at the start, centipedes near the end... otherwise okay.

Discovered spider mites on a lower leaf (as you can see on last photo) I carefully removed and burned this leave and after a long, thorough search I did not discover 1 other affected leaf. Better safe than sorry so I again ordered some bugs to eat the spider mites!

The solstice. Here we go! I hope to start seeing some action soon and pulling out males. I have my hunches, but haven't confirmed any pollen sacks. The plants got over watered so I have laid off the watering for now. I will be preparing my last transplants soon so I modified pot size to show 30 gallon. So far so good. No changes yet. Considering LST for the 4 plants growing together. I indicated weak smell, but you can begin to get subtle hints of lemony/orangey aromas. Happy Growing grow-mies.

Day 44-4/12/21 everything is looking a lot better now!!! Day 47-7/12/21 plants are doing well a lot better now two of them are showing signs of purple!!! Day 49-9/12/21 everything is going better got some burnt leafs on a few but hopefully okay!!! Gave them a liter each today with food!!! Day 50-10/12/21 some are behind others but there’s this one plant that’s going purple I think it’s gonna be great!!!!

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

Day 50 - Starting week 8 today and she doesn’t look any worse thank yesterday with the lime green leaves so hopefully feeding her nutes hopefully helped her but we’ll see in the next couple days. Day 51 - No significant lightning of the leaves today so I think I got her enough nutes in time so hopefully she’s got enough in the soil to now to push that bud development. She’s definitely a really dark purple and it looks pretty amazing in person, the pictures do no justice. Day 52 - Looking really dark purple now and love the colors. She’s starting to put out a slight citrusy smell as well. Her leaves haven’t really lightened up anymore so I think she’s gonna be ok till the end. Day 53 - She’s chugging along nicely and looking gorgeous. Tested the soil and still a bit damp so will wait a couple more days before giving her some water. Day 54 - Things look great now with this girl. She’s starting to dry out and bit so will give her some fresh water and some cal-mag tomorrow. She’s really darkening up and looks gorgeous. Day 55 - Gave her almost a full gallon of water tonight, she seemed pretty thirsty. I’ve been wanting to upgrade my lights and saw nothing but good reviews on the AGLEX 1200W COB LED and was a decent price so I ordered it today and should be here tomorrow. Really want to see if it helps keep the tent cooler than running 2 cheapo 1000W LED’s. I’m sure it can’t be any worse so can’t wait to get her hooked up tomorrow and see what she does for the rest of this grow. Day 56 - It’s the end of week 8 and all is looking good. I got the new AGLEX COB LED hooked up so really looking forward to seeing if this light will help in the grow. She’s already looking good but hoping this light will push her over the edge. She doesn’t need any water or nutes today and will probably give her the next feeding of nutes sometime this weekend.

Moved into big tent... Topped and put under 600w hps

08/04/2021 - I SEE PISTILLS!!! Really didn't think we'd make it this far 😅 08/08/2021 - Top dressed and watered w/ an AAEWCIF tea. - Continuing to defol as necessary. - Too lazy to date and re-organize all those photos through the phone. - Photos taken from 08/02/2021-08/08/2021.

They are really starting to fill out. I am seeing great results after every water and every feed. I will be transplanting them into 2 gallon pots in the next 2 weeks.

This week they are all booming after continuous LST. The calmag issues went away after staying at 0.4 ec for a while. All new growth is looking good. Starting adding Cannazym to get rid of any dead roots that have been formed around the edges now. The time-lapse for this week is only for the last few days as I had some technical difficulties. Still feeding at around 0.7 ec total. Also added more fans this week to circulate the air better. Three run every 30 minutes for 3 minutes to blow out 100% of the dead air from the canopy. Another fan is blowing continuously. They start to increasingly smell now. Very strong yet subtle right now. Oh and in case anyone noticed: One of them was a mutant (very weirdly placed growing nodes and other unusual behaviour) so I had to throw her pre-emptively. The rest of the girls look ready to for the ride though!

Starting to keep a close eye on the Trichomes. Still clear some cloudy. Stopped feeding, Starting to flush. It’s starting to smell amazing in here.

This season is to compare between hydroponics and coco coir to see which is is better for each strain. The plant were doing real good, and heavy feeding will start soon. Thanks for following our diary👍🏻

Gonna a bit more NITROGEN!☘️

Flowers are starting. It looks like I got about 5 or six bud sites. My first serious attempt LST has worked this plant is slaaaanty. Started boom nutrients this week too. Hoping for some fat buds.

The plant went crazy with growth this week, easily doubling in size (probably more). My tent is only a small one at 80*80*160 and this thing is now fully populated by plant. Can't beleive I managed to get 4 in here with my last grow, I guess they will grow as big as the space they are provided with when they are healthy and happy and this plant is definitely both. Things continued to warm up again this week, a few sunny days of 26c outside which meant my tent once again crept into the 30's for 2 or 3 hours of the 18 hour lights on cycle. On top of this, just to add salt into the wounds there were cold nights as well where the tent heaters were going full whack keeping things warm. To tackle the heat I ended up using a CO2 bag. CO2 was recommended to me by the Hydro shop and could help with the plant dealing with the high heats at times, guess I'll see. The plant also received the gift of automated watering, with the higher temperatures but also as I'll be away for a week for work next week I had to get something setup in advance. No idea why I didn't install an automated watering system with previous grows, was so cheap and makes things so much easier. Best of all the plant is loving more frequent drinks/feeds. Currently set to 4 a day at around 500ml each feed. When I started this gro my plan was to go nutrient free, and just use what the living soil offered. That only lasted through veg anyhow, now that it's flowering, I can see how much the plant is loving the Mills nutrients. Based on the growth in the last week I'd say the plants loving them a hell of a lot!!!! I think all the hard work shaping the plant is done now as the stretch is nearly over. Had no other option but to install a net during the week just to keep it down as much as I could. Only took a few days to fill it out and there's way too many bud sights now. If the plant had of stretched much more it would have to move into a larger house, but now the buds are starting to fatten I'd say it will be safe now. Couldn't be happier with this grow anyhow. Now just have to wait and see these buds fatten up.

09/21/22 another week and the Mrs is growing slowly but surely.

I have repotted the plants into 4gallon fabric pots re amended the coco with half 444 veg and bloom dry amendments by down to earth along with added bone meal and great white to the root ball to help with the transplant shock and to give a boost in the microbial life in the root zone.. I also watered in with recharge fish shit roots excelerator cal mag and some silica to hold the plants over until the dry amendments kick in due to them being a slow release style fertilizer the plants was placed in a scrog net to spread open the plants for better yield and light penetration
