Daisy (Barneys Farms Dos Si Dos Auto)
Date: 5/1/23 Day# 8
Medium: 4" pot with FFHF soil
Nutrients: N/A​

Daisy got a full watering yesterday. In her little 4" pot, that's only about 100ml for her to be full. She's drinking over 35ml/day, so she'll be moving to her SIP pot soon.

I'm still watering with the BTI. It seems like there are fewer fungus gnats, but I still see some around. After watering Daisy, I covered as much of her top as possible with sticky traps. I'll try to get the adults as the BTI kills the larvae.

Omg I can’t use that sticky stuff. My geckos go after the bugs and get stuck. I saved one lizard, but had to euthanise the second coz it was so so stuck. It was so traumatic. Like so SO traumatic. Still makes me sad.

🦎☠️🦎☠️🦎☠️
Luckily, no lizards in the tent yet ;) I remember when I lived in southern Florida, though, they were everywhere. I'd freak out if I went in the tent one day and there was something big stuck on there:eek:

Gina (FastBuds Gelato Auto)
Date: 5/5/23 Day# 71
Medium: 5 gallon SIP bucket with FFHF soil
Nutrients: Remo Flower Week# 5​

Gina has the last liter of her Remo week# 5 nutrients in her res and will finish them up today. Tomorrow I'll fill her res with 3g of fresh water. That should be empty two days later, then it'll be time to mix up the next batch of nutes. Remo's schedule is the same for week# 6 through flush: 10ml/G of everything except Grow and MaNifiCal (Calmag). I'll mix up another 5 gallons with 50ml of each and use that for the next couple of weeks.
Gina Gelato Tracker 20230505.png

If you look closely, you'll see a few leaves that are twisted and a little brown. I think she still has some fungus gnat larvae chewing on her roots. I'm continuing treatment with the BTI but there's not much more I can do. She's healthy for the most part, though, and still building her buds. She still has a few more weeks to put on weight. I wonder how fat those buds can get!









Sandy II (Skunk Special monster crop clone)
Date: 5/5/23 Day# 67
Medium: 4" pot with FFHF soil​

On a sad note, I gave up on Sandy II today. I pulled her out to check her roots and she was full of fungus gnat larvae. Her roots were... OK. After almost 10 weeks I'd expect more than that. And since I really had nowhere to put here if she did make it, in the trash she went. Luckily, the @VIVOSUN app has a way to deal with that. Go to change the stage of the plant, and then click on the skull :)

What does fungus gnat larvae look like BudMan?
 
The fungus gnats are F#@king crazy right now!!! I've never had them like this before, I kill and spray and kill and spray... bro, I'm on the verge of just hitting the room with RAID I'm getting so pissed off. Nothing seems to phase them.

Bman where did you live in Fl.? I lived in Madeira Beach for about a dozen years. I’m going back there to live someday. CL🍀

Two months ago, they were all over the house. I found a bin of soil that was infested with them and got rid of it. Now I still have a few in the grow room, but I feel the combination of DE, sticky traps, and BTI (Microbe Life) with every watering is keeping them in check. I would love to get rid of them, though.

I lived in southern Florida from 90-94, a long time ago. Pembroke Pines, right near the dade/broward county line almost out to the everglades (at the time). I had a lot of fun but the crime sucked (had my car broken into three times the last year I was there) and hurricane Andrew made living/working down there tough. My commute went from 1/2 hour to 2 1/2 hours. It may be a fun place to visit, but I wouldn't live there again.

Daisy (Barneys Farms Dos Si Dos Auto)
Date: 5/8/23 Day# 15
Medium: 4" pot with FFHF soil
Nutrients: N/A​

Daisy is really moving now, and almost drained her pot in one day! I gave her a little drink around the edges today so I expect her to be nice and dry by tomorrow.
Daisy Tracker 20230508.png

Tomorrow I'll uppot her to her own SIP bucket. I'm using the original bucket that I made for SIP, but I didn't like the air hole I drilled for it. The original hole was too low, so that it only held around 3L. It was also too small. I found that if I drill the hole a little bigger I can fill the res from the airhole with my watering can. It's just easier than the fill tube.

So, I taped up the original hole that was drilled (inside & outside) and drilled a new one. I know what you're thinking "tape won't stop the res from leaking". The way the SIP is built, though, the old hole will be facing dirt, not res. The res only touches the bucket on the bottom and the side with the airhole. So even though this bucket now has two holes I don't have to worry about the res leaking.

I then prepared the SIP with FFHF soil amended with 1/3c @GeoFlora Nutrients veg, 1 Tbsp @DYNOMYCO, and a 1/2c of worm castings. I packed the soil around the SIP insert, making sure I had good 'feet' to wick up the water. Then I filled the bucket with soil as normal. I sprinkled some DE on top to keep the bugs away. I'll water it when I put Daisy in there.


Coming into her third week, Daisy is looking healthy and happy and pushing out her fourth node. I increased the AeroLight SE to 60% this morning, bumping her up to about 22 DLI. Hopefully she takes to her new home well tomorrow, because in a few days it'll be time for her topping. Then the real fun begins!

Daisy (Barneys Farms Dos Si Dos Auto)
Date: 5/9/23 Day# 16
Medium: 5G bucket with GroBucket SIP insert, FFHF soil
Nutrients: 1/3c Geoflora veg amended in soil​

Daisy went into her new home today, a 5 gallon bucket with a GroBucket SIP insert filled with FFHF soil amended with 1/3c @GeoFlora Nutrients veg, 1 Tbsp @DYNOMYCO, and a 1/2c of worm castings. The bucket was all ready for her. She was really dry and just starting to droop a little, definitely ready for her new pot.

I started by misting the roots and then coating them with @DYNOMYCO. More Dynomyco went in the hole before she did. Then I pushed the soil in around the root ball, packing it in. I added a few scoops more of soil, making sure it was within an inch of the rim.




Then Daisy got the last top-watering she'll ever get. I used over 3 liters of water, going slowly and working my way from the outside in. I made sure that some made it down to the res, creating the link from the soil through the 'feet'. Finally, I added another liter to the res to make sure the SIP moisture gradient is well established.

This time I put some fabric weed barrier down on the top and covered that with river rocks. I'm hoping that the barrier and rocks will help keep the moisure all the way to the top of the soil. And maybe it will stop the fungus gnats too. Hopefully I don't regret the fabric barrier when I start carhooking her.




Daisy is all by herself now on the right side of the Vivosun Auto Oasis. I turned the @VIVOSUN AeroLight SE up to 80% but kept it right around 22 DLI. Daisy is still only on day# 16 and has plenty of growing left. Next up...topping!

Just two days after going into the SIP bucket and Daisy was looking great this morning, lifted up looking healthy. So healthy, in fact, that I was just able to get my @VIVOSUN shears around her fifth node and... off it went.








Right now she only has a liter or two in her res and she appears to be adapting to the SIP well. I'll give her a couple more days to recover and get more roots down to the air gap, then I fill her SIP res. I'm hoping she'll be ready for some carhooks by the end of the weekend.

Gina (FastBuds Gelato Auto)
Date: 5/12/23 Day# 79
Medium: 5 gallon SIP bucket with FFHF soil
Nutrients: Remo Flower Week# 6+​

Gina is still working on her Remo week# 6 nutrients and is still drinking well. As she finishes up, though, I plan to start giving her more water breaks to start flushing out some of the salts.
Gina Feed Tracker 20230512.png

Gina is in her 6th week of flower and is building beautifully. She still appears to have two different buds, one with more white pistils and the other with more purple in the bud. They're all starting to look more ripe and very frosty. The leaves are starting to fade and show some color, too. I took a peek at the trichomes this week and, as expected, mostly clear. I think she's going to be another 100 day auto, which I'm thrilled with.















Well into her 12th week, though, I'm keeping a close eye on her. She has nice fat buds that tend to get too much moisture and budrot. I have the @VIVOSUN app scheduled to reduce the RH in the tent further on Monday. I also have the AeroWave E6 oscillating over the canopy on natural. Along with the AeroLight fans and the Vivosun 13" air circulator, there should be plenty of moving air to reduce the chance of budrot and give these buds a change to get nice and hard :)

Thanks 024, I'm still amazed at the turn she took. I give a lot of credit to the SIP, though. I believe that in a cloth pot she would be 1/2 this size, if that.
 
Those buds look nice. You've got fans and humidity control, you'll be fine. :cheesygrinsmiley:. :bong:
Thanks GW, I think so too. The RH dropped down today as scheduled to 64% day and 56% night. I'm very comfortable with those numbers.
