Started off week 2 of flowering on 11/19. All of the ladies look good with the Tangerine Dream being the only set of clones to start showing bud sights and not just pre-flowering. Did a significant amount of clipping and clipped most of the fan leaves on the main colas of my ladies and side branches too. I also began playing classical music for them! True to it’s genetics my Tangerine Dreams are putting off numerous side branches with side branches coming off those branches! Since flowering my Cotton Candy has grown the most. Before flowering it was just barely half the height of my TDs and now they’re taller! As for the Chronic Thunder it’s always been the tallest but in flowering it’s focus has all been on the side branches without me even topping it.

I'm making a little contest in my grow room 6 ladies + one which will go outside 2 types of nutrients 3 different strains for each nutrient type 2x gorilla glue by fast buds 2x BlackBerry by fast buds 2x white widow auto by RQS +1 outsider (in a month or smth. It's my first grow ever, waiting for your comments and tips I Want to grow 1 type of each strain with use of green planet nutrients and one with nutrients from RQS just to see if the price of product really corresponds to its quality and is it really worth to pay more and lose so much time for preparing the right solution. there is 3 days of difference between 3 first ladies (2x GG + BlackBerry) and both White widow's and another 1 day to second BlackBerry and another one day for the WW which will go outside. ;) It means the first ladies already had full 5 days of light before the last girl came to tent :)

Starting to get some size on them. Hope the little one manages to catch up and won't need a little ramp. Still no preflower signs.

13 Aug 2021 Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I’m not a superstitious person, but I hope everything I did today turns out well. Today was a big day in my grow room. I finally cleaned up my big tent and got my three little Ladies transplanted into their new pots, as well as set up their new home to maximize their environment. I moved my Spider Farmer SF-1000 light into the big tent so that each of my girls has their own dedicated light, but that the spillover from the other two will be 3x as good! I leveled the lights 18 inches above the plants for even light distribution over the entire grow area. I also got a new standing oscillating fan for improved airflow and took out the other two I have been using. I can always add them back later if needed. I also repositioned my carbon filter and exhaust fan which opened up the whole top of the tent to place the 3rd light. I changed a lot of stuff in my grow room today in order for it to be neater, more organized, and basically more efficient as a grow space. Now if I can just get rid of all the damn boxes! That’s an inside joke with my wife. Now to my ladies… As I mentioned above, I transplanted my trio into their final homes today. I filled the pots with the same soil that they are currently in, Fox Farm’s Ocean Forest Potting Soil. I opened a small hole in the middle, then extracted each plant, one by one from their solo cups. I broke up the root ball of each plant so that the roots cover more area in their new home. Then I surrounded the root ball with more fresh soil and made sure each was secure in their positions. I then defoliated each plant of all their dead or dying leaves and then carried them upstairs to the grow room. After placing each plant into position, I labeled them all so I, and I’ll assume all of you, can keep track of which is which. They’re still C1, C2, and C3. Today I didn’t want to do anything really crazy, so I just watered the plants with two gallons of properly pH’ed water in order to get the plant roots and fresh soil wet enough to stay moist and consolidate a little better into one mass. I also wanted plain water so that I could see what the TDS levels were like from just the soil and water considering that the soil has some nutrients all by itself. So, each plant received approximately 3/4 of a gallon of water from 2 separate gallons. One with a pH of 6.4 and TDS going in of 89 ppm, and the other 6.7 with TDS of 98 ppm. Each plant had a decent amount of runoff from the water given. The runoff results were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 628 ppm C2 - pH 6.2, TDS 532 ppm C3 - pH 6.1, TDS 622 ppm As you can see, the TDS going in was under 100, but the runoff was significantly higher. I think I’ll wait until their runoff TDS is lower before I recommence giving additional nutrients. I’ll just have to see how it goes. Temperature is hot outside again, so the temperature was a little elevated at 84F, and the humidity was 55%. Now the fun of caring for 3 big plants at once. 🙄 I thought two was tough! What have I gotten myself into! Happy growing everyone! 15 Aug 2021 So today started the fun of feeding three plants at once. I’m still just giving properly pH’ed water to try and use the nutrients in the soil first instead of adding additional nutrients to a pot that is already full of nutrient rich soil. I may do this one or two more times before starting the nutrients in the water solution again. I’m going to document each plant properly here in the note, but I can only put one on the updated weekly report for the website. I’m going to alternate between the 3, so today I’m going to start with C1. Each of the plants seem to be adjusting well to their new pot, as well as to their new environment inside the big tent. I took a couple of pics of each plant today to add to the diary for your viewing pleasure. The gallons of water (3 of them) were filled with tap water and then measured and treated independently as follows: C1 - gallon had initial pH of 7.7. C2 - initial pH of 7.7. C3 - initial pH of 7.8. I added 5 gtts (.25ml) of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.2 in all three gallons. TDS going in was as follows: C1 - 94 ppm C2 - 98 ppm C3 - 91 ppm Runoff was also measured independently, and all 3 had very low runoff pH levels. Very low!! C1 - 5.2 C2 - 5.4 C3 - 5.3 TDS runoff was: C1 - 597 ppm C2 - 577 ppm C3 - 647 ppm As you can see, the TDS runoff is still pretty high due to the soil. I’m going to be looking after them carefully over the next week or so to see if any deficiencies can be seen and address them to prevent any issues from becoming a problem. So far so good. Stay tuned to see how this all ends. Happy growing everyone! 20 Aug 2021 It has been nearly 5 days since I’ve fed my ladies. I’m not proud of that fact, but it is what it is. They are all looking a little drawn out and dry, and a few of the leaves on C2 have gotten some pinkish/red borders on some of its leaves. I don’t really have any reason other than pure laziness! Today is the last day that I plan on giving plain pH’ed water, but I’m going to ease into nutrients on the next feeding by using half quantities till I see how they do. Today they each were given a gallon of water. The initial pH of each gallon was 7.3. I added 3 gtts (.2ml) of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted their pH levels to: C1 - 6.7, C2 - 6.6, and C3 - 6.7. Their TDS levels going in were: C1 - 90 ppm, C2 - 95 ppm, and C3 - 92 ppm. Runoff pH and TDS levels were: C1 - pH 5.8, TDS 422 ppm C2 - pH 6.0, TDS 529 ppm C3 - pH 5.8, TDS 489 ppm The temperature in the tent was 82F, and humidity was 53%. The plants still look pretty good, and are continuing to grow and adjust well to their recent changes. I’ve decided to just let these ladies grow naturally to see how it goes. What I mean is that I’m not planning on using any LST or HST methods to train them. I do plan on topping them at some point, but not yet. I’ll just have to see how it goes. Happy growing everyone!

So i have finished LST by end of week 4 and did start with removing low budsights and branches below the cannopy so that i would get more likely big equal compact buds instead of the fluffy not so yum buds. I plan to not defoliate any more than i have right now, unless there's a leave throwing shade onto a potential big budsights i might remove the leave in order to get that budsight maximum light it could have. Growing really is a big learning curve, like by now i have learned so much about to tell signs of the health state of a plant. Like one plant got slightly yellow leave tips, because it got nutrient burnt probably. Like when i noticed the tips i kind of digged into plant health and telling health state by colour, appearance of the leave. Really starting to enjoy the process of growing, like adjusting LST bit by bit, starting to see rewards of it more and more. Also actuelly noticing things that werent the best decision which i can definetly improve on by the next grow. Cant wait to see the end results, i really hope i get terpenes on a decent level. Since for me it became such a enjoyable thing to just smoke weed that actually is tasting lovely

My biggest harvest yet from a single plant! Closing in on 1 pound per plant which is very exciting. I could have vegged this plant longer but it still takes forever to mature. It never produces amber trichomes in my hands and just stops growing even though it's still consuming nutrients. This is the nicest LST/topping job that I have done yet and every branch produced a massive cola. I lost one cola to white mold but I have busted up the rest and inspected everything so I think it was an isolated incident. It smells amazing and it's gonna cure in the jars now! Thanks for following along on my 3rd White Widow run. I am going to be focusing on autoflowers

Day 78 Update: Start of week 12! Watered plant with almost a gallon of pH balanced water until runoff. 4 days left of flushing on Plant #2. Going to play it day by day till harvest, depending on how this week's plans unfold. Day 82 Update: Harvesting Plant #2 today. I will update the harvest part of the diary once I place these buds in jars. See you in a few days!

Ladies and gentlemen, i'm happy to be growing this girl.Using the growdots so hopefully we have good results with a lot less effort .. i'd like to think Herbies Seeds for making this grow possible.. I've always been a fan of purple haze, so i'm hoping she is true to what I remember and love.. I hope everybody out there is doing good as you could tell this little lady is happy and she's starting to get going now.. I hope everybody is well.God bless and happy growing ✌️

I added some hazel nut shells as a mulch and so far I think I'll let her grow as she is without LST. As I noticed - not sure if it's true or not - that outdoor LST stunned 2 of my plants. Whereas a really weak at the beginning plant - without leaves up to 3 nodes - right now outgrew both champs. I transplanted BPP weird enough, so now she leans to the side so much. That's because I am used to LST and like to have some room for a plant to lay on the ground. But this time I holding my hands to not to do any LST and let her grow naturally. Day 26 - I sprayed fungicide on her, because many times ended up with botrytis

The flowering continues, only on one branch I went wrong I think the bud will not grow .. The girls are suffering from N deficiency (?) Or from continuous changes of Ph (?) Who is more experienced tell me .. Hope flowering finish well, I add some N. Besides, the heat is advancing and the temperatures in the grow are rising a lot, fucking summer

Die San Fernando Valley OG Kush hatte in der vergangenen Woche einen extrem ausgeprägten Stretch. Innerhalb weniger Tage entwickelte sie sich von einer Pflanze mit etwa 35 cm Höhe zu einem Exemplar von über 60 cm. Das Längenwachstum war deutlich stärker als bei allen anderen Pflanzen im Zelt und sie überragt nun die anderen.

Day 40 ( 3 in flower) : I think it is safe to say that the flowering has kicked into full gear now and her stretch is on. Been a few issues sorting the dosage of the Mega crop with the Los soul in particular. Balancing the NPK with additional silica and calmag had me worries I had been hitting them too strong but in fact the power of the 900w Led lights being too close and intense had been clawing the bigger plants at the edges and not the mc. # 1 is going for gold and looking very healthy and happy. she is spreading g out nicely and will be a nice yield I think. #2 looks like she's hating something in her soil/coco and has some obvious damage from it. she is still growing skyward but is a lot smaller than the rest in the room. #3 Growing nicely and getting ready for a good defol this week. They are good to train and now big enough to be held to the pot edges with wire. This next week will see an increase in their Mc dosage by .5g. Her flowers are coming along nicely too all over the stems, roll on bud building. Green days all
