3 sisters day 25.

Carbon filter installed today.

Possom at work. Caught in a shed & released in a good spot at the far end of the farm.

[Locrian99]

Must be a different type of opossum than we have here. That’s way cuter looking.

[RosettaStoned]

I agree, what we have look like rats with a bad skin condition

Day 28 today. Pics to come.

Still no sign of flowering, going to switch to 12/12 today after checking to make sure there's no light leaks as I'll have to have the night period during the day to keep temps up at night coming into the cooler time of year. Going to have to get rid of the tallest girl, they're huge already and I won't have room to fit 3 in there when they get even bigger during the stretch.

On a sad note, found out yesterday that our 1 year old cat has liver cancer and a severe liver infection on top of a number of other already known health problems. Unfortunately she's going to be going to sleep tomorrow. I've taken two days off work so we can cuddle and nap on the couch together all day today before the vet comes out to our house tomorrow. We've decided to get her cremated so she can come with us wherever we live.
She's had a pretty good life since we took her in 18 months ago and we've known for a while she might not have too much time left.

My boy was put down a year ago today
. Want you to know my heart is with you, I will be thinking of you .
Sending warm hugs

we have an 18 year old cat that is failing quickly we give her what she likes to eat and pet her when we can (she wont get on my lap but I can pet her when she is on my wife's lap in fact she demands it lol so I feel for you man never easy to lose a family member

[OzBud]

Thanks for the kind words. Sending good thoughts to both of you.

Day 28

[KingKush]

Amazingly impressed with the ratio between plant size vs container size. Exceptional performance. Those plants are mean and green, just loving life in your hands

[OzBud]

Hey oldjarhead100 I use pretty much anything laying around. One is on a 5kg coco brick with a weight on top, another is on top of 4 or 5 weights. I intended to use them to exercise but the only thing they've been used for is lifiting plants to help keep a level canopy

[oldjarhead100]

my cellar is full of bricks so guess what I use lol

[Tika]

OMG !! Huge ladies! Beautiful!!! I too had a double blade fan leaf and it wAs big! I pressed it & still have it. More miracles from nature. Great visuals to start my day- thanks😊

[oldjarhead100]

Thanks Tika I didnt notice that how cool is that ya I would press it and save it .
oxbud thats a great candidate for pic of the week wow

[OzBud]

I didn't even notice it was different. I just liked it because it was so big

[OzBud]

Our beautiful girl left us yesterday, it was a very sad day at home. I'm glad her last day with us was nice and sunny, she loves snoozing in the sun. it's overcast and cold today...

Today is the second day of 12/12 for the girls, hopefully they'll start to flower soon. Bloody Seedsman mixing up seeds I reckon, they were supposed to be autos.
Did a bit of a lollipop last night when watering the girls.
Got rid of girl #1 when I switched to 12/12, unfortunately it's cooling down here and no time to put her outside before winter gets here.

Updated my feed calculator again, bought a 5L Terpinator and it came with a feed chart for it in a brochure. I was just using the 5-10ml per gal recommended on the bottle (5ml for veg , 10ml for flower)
Also I've been continuing with my grow data & costings spreadsheet.

[OzBud]

Gurnsy no worries mate, I got sick of having to do so many calculations on my phone every time I changed the nute strength or needed to change the water volume. Ozbuds nutrient calculator was born!

[farmerjim]

Sorry about your kitty Oz!

My nerd-radar perked up when I saw your Excel spreadsheets! I have been wanting to create a shared online grow journal by standardizing data capture across growers similar to something like this. I thought it would be cool to be able to plot different growers grow journal timelines together in the same dashboard and see if any interesting trends pop up. I couldn't sleep this morning so put together a few google forms to capture data if you want to help me test out my idea. I have already pre-loaded your data from your Excel sheet to the data set so all you would have to do to help is use the forms below to track your measurements! No pressure to participate but always looking for other sets of eyes to help me iron out the bugs!

Step 1: Start a Grow Journal in the Data Tracker - this only has to happen at the beginning but can be updated throughout the grow period if you save the "Edit your response"

Step 2: Record Nutrient/Supplement Usage

[farmerjim]

a rough example of where I'm trying to go! Notice how as you move your mouse along the humidity Min/max range on the left the photos update on the right.... now imagine this with the ability to flip between humidity and other measurements and also the ability to look at other growers/grow journals...

I've also bought some Dry KoolBloom to try out later in the grow

[OzBud]

I've got the rest of the lineup so I thought I might as well get it. I tend to buy things on impulse without thinking it through.
I just used the liquid in its place last grow with pretty good results

[Chefbjy]

Going to get the dry koolbloom myself. It has a big pk boost for late flower that I think my last grows were missing out on.

[Campesino]

I am leaning towards it, but I can take up to 4 more weeks to contemplate this decision.

[Tika]

Really sorry about loosing your girl a cozy passing but ....Well I can never say the right things...Feeling for you.

I use Liquid Kool Bloom a d was advised to boost it....In last week's up to 15mls. I did and glad I did.

🤗🤗🤗

[Tika]

Yes serious. REMEMBER I am hydroponic- in Coco/perlite. Instructions say 5-10 MLS for hydro throughout flowerperiod. I start at 5, go to 7, then to 10mls. Then to 15mls.

[Campesino]

Hi Tika Yeah... I am running drain to waste in Coco/Perlite. Roughly following this feedchart for supplements.

http://gh.growgh.com/docs/Feedcharts/GH_FloraSeries-DTW_03216am.pdf

But you are going 6x heavier dosing!!! I see the bottle says up to 10ml/gallon - but for true hydro not soil-less (Coco).

In any event, seems like I could up my dose considerably... Hmmm

[Chefbjy]

I upped mine to 10ml in the final weeks. If I used dry koolbloom I might not have. I read you have to be careful with upping certain nutes but my plants did just fine.

[Tika]

Campesino well...I consider Coco to be hydro as that's what I have read and heard and been told🤪 I hit the 15ml dose in the last week's. I will do the same for this grow of (way too tall) Sativa's and see what happens. Again a gradual upping .

[Campesino]

I have already increased the dose on my nute schedule... But cautiously! I may decide to up it even more as the time approaches.
I appreciate the knowledge of your experience!

[OzBud]

culled all the girls, chopped up in the compost pile. Had enough of this grow and can't be bothered with it anymore.

[OzBud]

they didn't auto, put them on 12/12 for a week after vegging for 4 weeks waiting for them to auto. Two had outgrown the space since I can't be bothered doing any training and I just couldn't be bothered waiting for anything to happen so I just cut the last girl down, I'll clean and pack everything up then try again when I get back from my holiday early july

[Tika]

Good call OzBud

[oldjarhead100]

I know what you mean I have 2 critical s that I thought were Auto they are starting there eighth week to day

[OzBud]

Next grow will be Kings Kush Auto CBD https://shop.greenhouseseeds.nl/king...sed.html?sl=en

starting July 7th

[Campesino]

Sorry you had to cull
Please post a link here when you start the next journal... don't want to miss it

[OzBud]

I didn't have to cull, just decided to. Will post link for sure
