Sept 18th - LST scheduled for N.M. this evening. She is ready to be exposed - next meal 19th or 20th depending on moisture of the soil; 5L Congo / 4.5L N.M. (getting close to target) - might be a problem with the main stalk on the N.M. at the upper Topping site. A hole has appeared at the base of the upper Topping site. Sending it to “questions” w/ photo *** have released & removed Natural Mystic from this grow, so Congo can be considered on its own… Games, ok I’ll play - details for N.m. still to be relayed cuz its in the same soil/tent. Ohmmmmm 20th - kelp meal added to surface, scratched-in ~ 8 & 6 tbsp ea. - feeding tonight for sure; menu above, congo 5L / Nat Myst 4.5L 22nd - did a little defoliation in removing some of the leaves along the branches. Removing any Larf from this grow… Its the Colas we are after this grow - man has the Natural Mystic (guest) ever turned things up. Its hapnin. - wondering about the life expectancy of the Autoflower in the tent. The Northern Lites Express will dictate when “Lights-out” happens for these 3 photo-periods, as they then go into flower. May need all the room available lol as it looks like a 10 week veg is easily going to happen. (Not rushing auto) - Power Failure has entered the 3rd hour for half of Sarnia. Its all new for me on this one - just opened the tent doors for some air flow/O2 - 4+ Hour power outage last nite. Power returned and they will get a couple of hours of extra lite today Sept 24th - last day week 6 - 1/2 volume h2o / molasses tonight; 2.75L congo / 2.5L n.m. ***Oct 8 is Lights-out for 36 hours, heading into Flower. Northern lights Express auto… is going to take too long to finish, so it is being moved, and a 4-week old Green Mountain Grape will be taking its spot. This tent will be ready for flower with such a strange cast*** - 2x 9-week plants, 1 x 8-week plant and a 4-week old hybrid will be ready at lites-out in 2 weeks ** had to make a call, cant veg forever. My early LST actions really seem to have delayed basic bud development on the auto. Things are moving, just seems another 5-6 weeks is realistic for it

Dag 14 It's a beautiful day😁 Mijn dames gaan vandaag week 3 in. Magisch (weeral), want ze hebben 3 vinger blaadjes gekregen. Op naar de 7. 😁 De dames gaan opnieuw de berging in vandaag! Eerst, omdat ik onverwacht bezoek kreeg en alle hens aan dek om die van het terras te krijgen. (Die stressfactor ken ik dus ook vanaf nu officieel gasten😅) Tweede, deze week in België een pak koeler en snacht 11 # 12 graden. Het vrouwke heeft ze om 9 uur(16 graden) mooi buiten terug geparkeerd. Ze paft zelf nie, maar ziet er de magie ook van, gelukkig. Hou nog meer van haar nu😁 Op aanraden van iemand hier, trekt ze nu ook de foto's. 😂😂😂😂 De volgende set blaadjes ook al in de maak, als ik goed kijk. Fijne avond, ik ga naar mijn planten kijken of ze water moeten hebben. Dag 15 van mijn dames. Ondanks de bewolking hebben ze toch nog aangenaam zonlicht en een licht briesje gehad vandaag. Gaadkloempke heeft ook een nieuw zijtakje gemaakt in de oksel van het blaadje.😁 (Den deze heel trots naar binnen om te stoeven tegen het vrouwke.)😂😂😂😂😂 Velen van jullie zullen denken! Wat een gek! Snap ik, maar dat kweken maakt me elke dag oprecht gelukkig.😁 In ieder geval, de dames zijn goed bezig en we dromen verder. Verder gaan ze deze nacht weer netjes binnen, max 11 graden, dus nemen we geen risico's. Ik geef ze nog steeds maar 6 drukjes van mijn drukspuit om de dag. Dag niks, een dag wel😊 Ik blijf ervan verbaasd hoe weinig die dames drinken. Ikzelf was al lang vant padje geweest.😬 Dag 16 van mijn koning en koninginnen.😁 Vandaag weinig zon en veel bewolking en wind. Bij thuiskomst zag ik wel dat zjan en mel een hangend blaadje hadden. 😅 Hartslag naar 200 en heb onmiddellijk het nodige opzoekwerk gedaan. (Thanks sensi seeds en growdiaries🤩🤩🤩😘) Niks aan de hand, alleen 6 drukjes water bijgegeven. Door de harde wind de zaai en stekgrond sneller droog, als ik had gedacht. Moet ik goed in het oog blijven houden, omdat ze meer en meer water nodig gaan hebben. De kids gaan deze nacht ook weer netjes binnen vanaf 21 uur. Kan ik ze beschermen tegen de kou#mottige insecten#onverwachte huisbazen die curieus zijn. Paft ze nog en denkt eraan kwekers.😁 Dag 17 van mijn dames en heer.😎 Vandaag bewolking, maar zeker met de nodige zonneschijn. Ze hebben er echt van genoten. Ze beginne deze week echt meer water te verbruiken. Begin deze week elke dag al 6 drukjes met de spuit en nu vandaag voor het eerst ne halve liter. 😁 ne belg moet kunnen drinken he gasten😁🤪 Ze gaan ook weer de berging in omdat, de nachten blijven hangen op 11 graden. Verder zie ik met de dag verandering en groei. Ga bij Beir en Mel LST training doen, maar daar kom ik nog op terug. I love this job😍😍😍😍 Dag 18 en ik loop er echt gelukkig bij.😛😜🤪 Heb ze gisteren 400 ml water gegeven en ik moet toe geven, ik heb stress gehad tedju.😬 Maar deze morgend alles in orde en net bij avond val, alles meer dan in orde. Nieuwe blaadjes gaan heel hard en hun derde node is on the way. Ik heb ze vandaag geen water gegeven, alhoewel die eerste 4 cm zeker droog zijn. Maar die potten zijn nog loodzwaar, dus die halve liters knal ik vandaag zelf wel weg!😎😁 Verder staan die knapperds nu weer mooi binnen achter glas. Klaar voor morgen met de zon te ontwaken en ik begeleid ze dan naar buiten. 28 graden morgen op de bol en voor nu zeg ik schol.😄😅😎 Dag 19 van mijn dames en heer☀️☀️☀️ Heel de dag een stralende zon en 28 graden op de bol. De plantjes maken constant nieuwe bladeren aan en hun kleur blijft bangelijk groen. Ik vertrouw echt op de zwaarte van mijn potten, dus ook vandaag geen water. Want da water is echt een moeilijk gegeven. Zit continu te twijfelen: water of geen water.😅 Verder voelde om 13 uur, zjan, haar pot heel warm aan en heb ik een handdoek rond haar pot gebonden. Zo kon ik haar toch mooi laten genieten van de zon, zonder dat die wortels zouden kunnen verbranden😃 Morgen veel regen en wind. Dus deze nacht in de berging en morgen heel de dag netjes onder het afdak buiten. Smoke weed every day🤫😎 Dag 20 van precious 😎 Deze morgend heb ik bij Beir en Mel de gaten in de pot geboord voor de aankomende lst training. Onderste draad is al getrokken voor de steun aan het stammetje. Bij Beir was dat nen hoop stress voor me. 😅 2 keer plat in de pot, maar hij heeft er blijkbaar niet van geweten. Denk ik😅😂😂😂 Verder nog steeds geen water voor de dames en heer. Vertrouw echt hiervoor op het gewicht van de potten. Blijven zwaar en de blaadjes mooi groen. Dus dan zal het wel oke zijn. Verder gaan ze straks weer binnen, want de weergoden gaan weer tot 15 graden springen. 😄 Ik hoop op een zeer warme augustus hier, dat de toppen groeien in to the sky😎 En dan dit bazeke hopelijk maanden high, tedju 🤩🤩 Rise and shine people 😎

The girls are starting to wrap up their cycle. I have been watching the trichomes closely, and we are getting very close..Trying to pick the best day for both of the strains I have going at the moment, the Apple Betty are a little closer than the cookies, but they are very similar in readiness… I’ll be checking daily, I did get a wireless microscope for Christmas so it has become much easier to tell👨‍🔬 I’ve got mostly cloudy, with a few clear, but I am waiting for a bit more amber to give them the couch lock that I like when I smoke. Boxing Day was the end of week 8, so any day now! Happy Holidays Growmie’s! ❤️🇨🇦😎🎉

I've been a bit hands off this week again. The Black Jack and NYC started to get a little yellow at the bottom, so I could have probably started feeding more a couple of days earlier, but I didn't notice until I was ready to turn on the AutoPots. The reservoir was filled with 20l, and I can already see a growth spike starting. I'll probably top them all in the next few days and flip to flower shortly after.

Getting solid and developing a lot of orange pistils and the tricomes are lookings super frosty. About 2 weeks left then out to the moon we go!!! Hope its a good grade (quality high), I decided to make Velevet because the flowers looked beautiful to not try out. This will be the last feed then flushed for the next feed. Going to drench it until it reaches a desirable ppm level in the soil. That would make it start eating itself sucking out all the nutrients providing a smooth smoke and a great after taste. When you dont flush you get a better taste and why would you want to smoke nutrients? Gotta make the leave turn yellow then you know its good. This is almost the end and thankfully its been going good so far, see you soon!!!

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! [END OF WEEK 02]

This girl is an exuberant plant! Super strong even on these hot days she stayed in shape without having fox-tails, also due to the quality of this HLG light which as always amazes me a lot. Still drying out… soon new updates with photos and infos on weight and smoke reports. Cheers cannafam ☮️💚

The plant tolerated the repotting well. The nutrient-rich soil has provided a good growth. As the pot is now larger, I have also increased the amount of watering. This week it will be watered every 2 days with about 350-400ml of rainwater. Last week I prepared a nettle manure to provide additional nitrogen fertiliser. As it has just been repotted, I won't be giving the fertiliser until next week. The weather remains consistently good. The daytime temperature fluctuated between 19 and 24 degrees. The plant now also stays outside at night. I hope the weather stays as good as in the previous weeks.

this grow has not been good. but its ok. all part of the process. leaves are not as green as i liked. i see leaf edges burned. so most likely just too much nute in soil? i did lost one. but its ok. she didn't do well from the beginning. maybe soil was just too hot and heavy?
