Sake min.
What a great surprise upon starting my diary.
My s9 has a habit turning itself off at 5% making me lose 2 hours worth of typing shit out. Arghhh I feel like snapping my phone in half.
And how am I going to remember what I said anyway. Tooooo hours tooooooo fking hours 😩
I'll do it another way instead. More pictures less chat.
Before I start. I'd like to say huge thank you to twisted1 for allowing me to do a diary under his wing and thanks to percys growroom for being the perfect host.
I'm so excited.
Atm we are near the end of day 2.
I wanted to follow the Germination method upon using jiffy plugs as you spoke of twisted dude, I couldn't get them locally anywhere and I'm put off by ordering stuff online atm. Because of royal mails delay with covid 19, it took the seeds long enough to get to me.
I usually find that Germination is very easy with a 12 hour soak and then planted directly in soil. I've never had success with kitchen towel method. But I'm definitely going to get jiffys for the future.
So far they have only been getting fed Cooled boiled water. I can't even get what I'd prefer to buy an that is the ashbeck mineral water that tesco sell with its pH of 6.2.
Earlier today I received my shipment order that surprisingly only took 5 days to get to me. I've got everything I need apart from a 6 inch exhaust, some ducting and clips.
Here is everything I have for this grow so far. We've gone from
The end of day 1

Water I prefer to use
Plant magic Bio silicon
Plant magic Bloom
Vitalink calmag
Bonemeal
Ecothrive charge
PH & EC pen

PH buffer 7
PH down
Conductivity liquid
Lst ties
12inch oscillating and 6inch clip on fan
Things to get.
4 or 6 inch exhaust fan with ducting.
Plan for the grow:
I can't remember what twisted wanted to do here. I think the plan is to keep it basic, top once or twice and perform low stress training.
Anyway that should be it.
Need to figure out how to use the pH pen. It says how I've to leave it over night in the calibration solution. Bit ill leave that top tomorrow. I've got a can of tennents super lager in the fridge and enough for a big pipe. So I'm way to get stoned. Thanks again
Epic start mate!! Really looking forward oto this! Youre gonna do great man. Nice lighting too 😉
You’re in really good hands Stars. Good luck on the run man. Lmao at loosing the post, been there 🤣🤣
Good job man! Gonna be a fun run! Not sure how much more water your gonna wanna buy....they're gonna get big later and very thirsty lol. Dial in your tap water if possible but above all....follow twisted advice. Good luck man!
Cheers 🍺🍻🍾🎉
Here's my first update
I encounter problems already.
Stretching seedlings that toppled over with the aid of my over enthusiastic placement of the clip on fan.
I could maybe drop my 23w lights closer too..Thankfully I always fill my seedling pots up 3 quarters fill as I usually encounter a bit of stretch with seedlings and I can always top up the pots with more soil to give the seedlings a bit more stability. So I hope that's regarded OK to do.
Earlier I gave them a sprayed watering and small bottom watering Hope that works.
Here are some close up pics (fuk a should be in ma bed) they look well on there way. Aww I've never tasted gelato weed before it sounds yummy 🥵 sounds even better when this sweet seeds auto gelato is an F5 🤯 oh and I think because its a diary I'm supposed to mention a bit about the strain characteristics. I somehow want to grow this all the time. But we'll see.
A bit about this amazing looking strain.
5th generation autoflowering strain version of one of the most powerful and famous lines, coming from the San Francisco Bay (California): Gelato (Sunset Sherbet x Girl Scout Cookies “Thin Mint”) is one of the most appreciated exponents of the Cookies family, featuring excellent aroma and high production of THC.
A small update for today.
Nothing to report apart from the humidity, as its quite low. Christ the temp might be a tad too high too.
So maybe a humidifier is another for the wish list.
As already mentioned in a reply with colacody about the water.
I tested the pH of my tap water and I expected to see alkaline water with the pH of 8.5
Dechlorinated water came out at 8.2
Mental how adding a good few drops of vinegar lowered the pH to 4.8
The rain water came off at 7.4 (not shown)
I now see why there isn't a need for pH up. So you saved me a fiver there macky.
Just received a second hand Samsung s9. I thought the pictures would come out better than these. Nevermind. Some of them seedlings look like they have trichomes on them, or are they eggs.?

could be trichomes but you will see in a few days - no need to worry looking good
just listen to macky
Thanks you James. I might need macky to step in until twisted arrives. Or maybe you'll keep me right cola 😉
I'm at a stage where I could be using the bio silicon. But I'm going to wait and see if twisted would even want me using it.
That's a funny one. I liked the above post but the green thumb ain't going green.
Nevermind.
Cheesus daily updates for this one. I'm never this enthusiastic without weed. And I have never felt better. Growing weed used to be stressful when you don't have any. I think with the amount of problems I've occurred over the years while growing it has hardened me up. I'm at a stage now where growing might not be for me.
And I'm ready to stop for good.
But for just one last attempt... Just one last fucking attempt, alongside someone who knows what there doing. Damn I should know what I'm doing as I've been growing for almost a decade 😳
The whole thing frustrates me a tad as away back in 2012 or so.. I was mentoring a friend with his first grow. He ended up with a good 2 oz and the smoke was brilliant. I gave him a loan of my 2 x 125w dual spec cfls and gave him 1 seed of the sugar black rose auto by delicious seeds. I didn't use nutrients back then. It was just what was in the soil.. I remember wanting to buy some of his weed but he wouldn't sell any lol. Poor cnut is dead now.
I think age has gotten to me. I've forgotten how to dj and I used to love djing. I can't even remember how on earth I managed burn mp3s onto cds.
But you know what I'm not going to let that bother me. I could be alot worse off still fucking frustrating though.
Anyway it's good to talk shit now an then.
Here are today sweethearts on day4 nothing to report.
My outdoor grow diary will be coming soon too. Seeds are ordered, Just waiting on next week's Scottish weather to be like Spain again so I can get out and start hacking down bushes and setting booby traps lol.
Cheers one an all
Good morning / afternoon / evening
Where are we.
I feel like I've got the corona virus. But I don't have a temperature an I haven't lost my sense of smell however I feel fucking awful.. And it's very hard for me to update my diary at this time.
Anyway just a quickie
Nothng much to report other than the roots of all the seedlings are coming out the holes in the pot. So I don't know if that means time to pot them up into their final pots.
It's day 6 or 7 and so far I think everything is looking good.
No nutes yet just plain Phd water.
Temps are stable and the rh is around 60% which is the highest I can achieve atm.
And now time for some pictures.
Cheers an all the best.
Id wait a week let them bid more root mass then re pot them looking good though brother
Good evening percy growers.
It's been a very difficult past few days. Started to believe that I had caught the fucking virus. As I've never felt so ill in a long time.
I've not even been up in the attic for 4 days as I don't feel capable upon getting up there. So I had my partner helping me out. Asked her to take some pictures for me.
I think everything is looking good especially now that it's day 8 or maybe day 9. I've lost track
Anyway she only took one picture. So here is where we're at.
Cheers an all the best.
Oh I also forget to add to my post.
Has anyone used that eco thrive charge. I got it free with a recent order.
Any thoughts 🤔
Damn mate! hope you feel better soon man, glad you got some one to look after you, and the plants.
Eco thrive is good man, but dont use too much of it.
Good afternoon / evening.
I feel so much better today. There is a lot of shit on the go atm other than the fucking corona virus. It's starting to piss me off how they are saying if you have a sore throat you've got covid. A sore cock. Sore asshole. Fucking diarrhea too means you might have covid. I must admit it's worrying when your off smoke.
I'm going to try ever so hard to refrain from smoking weed for the rest of the year. It'll be hard but worth it.
Any fuck covid 19.
So yea today I feel full of energy. I wonder if It was down to my craving for pickled onions and English mustard.
Right enough of that.
It's day 9 and I'm very happy with how these sweet seeds sweethearts are coming on. It's got to be getting close to potting them up.
I've got my 12 litre pots filled an there currently awaiting their new arrivals.
I think that's about it.
Cheers and all the fucking best
