12/6/2022: Strawberry Gushers is really starting to fade. Some nice purple showing up on some of the leaves. She has some droopy leaves, so I think she is a bit over watered. I skipped watering her today, other than a light mist to keep the soil on top moist. Orange Bubblegum is looking good. Still showing some fading on the lowers, so I hit her with a compost tea today. About 1 liter. The Newberry is also showing some fading on the lowers, but her leaves are slightly drooping too, so I only gave her .5 liters of the tea.
12/7/2022: watered in the 2nd dose of nematodes today, even though there are only a couple fungas gnats left. Gave each plant 1 liter, mixed with the ThermX-70 and some FishShit. The big update today is with the Strawberry Gushers. I found a few nanners. Caught them real early and plucked them, but if more show up I may have to harvest earlier than expected. Used my Bluetooth microscope today to look at the tricomes and Orange Bubblegum is mainly all foggy, with very little amber. I hope I can give her at least another week or two. The Orange Bubblegum and Newberry are a mix of cloudy and clear, with no amber, other than on the leaves, which doesn't count in my book. I'd still say another 3 to 4 weeks.
12/9/2022: The Strawberry Gushers is really fading, and the other two are starting to fade more as well. The Strawberry Gushers is not taking up water as fast anymore, so I just misted the top soil. For the Orange Bubblegum and Newberry I watered 1.3 liters at 6.6 ph, mixed with BuildABloom, coconut powder, and ThermX-70. Also added some fresh aloa juice I made for a new 3x3 bed I'm starting. Did not see any other naners, and the fungas gnats are almost completely gone!!!
12/10/2022: (Day 75) had about 2 liters of leftover water from by 3x3 bed I'm making soil for, so I split that between the 3 plants, mainly just to wet the top soil. Realized after the fact that the water had some Rootwise Micro Complete in it, which the plants don't need at this point, but it won't hurt. Ph was about 6.5 and it also had some FishShit and ThermX-70 as always. Also, reduced the light intensity down again to 600 PPFD, which is a DLI of about 39.
Avg. VPD:1.5
PPFD: 600

D50.
The start of the second week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The girls stretched quite a bit in the first week, and I'm curious how much they will stretch this week.
I did some additional defoliation, removing leaves and branches that didn't make it above the scrog.
------------------------------
D51.
The first girl shows early signs of a deficiency, which I suspect is a lack of magnesium. I guess the recent stretch is the cause, but I think the stretch is slowing down.
I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water with 1.5 teaspoons of Epsom salt and a foliar spray with Epsom salt. That should hopefully take care of any lack of magnesium.
I also calibrated my Hygrometer since I've noticed lately that it seemed a bit off. Sure enough, it was off by 7.9%.
------------------------------
D54.
The tent is blowing up! The girls look great, and the first buds have started forming. However, they have more than tripled in size in almost two weeks, and I'm slowly running out of room in the tent. I've raised the lights as far as they go, and I hope that will be sufficient as I'm going out of town for a week, and the girls will be left to their own devices.
The chlorosis hasn't spread, so I think the Epsom salt helped. Other than that, there's not much to report.

Her buds have fattened up very nice!!! Almost all her pistols have changed colors and curled in. I hope im not to late, but this week will be her last feeding then good ol plain ph'd water until she is ready to chop. She smells so strong of cookies and cream and gas⛽ she is going to be a decent yielder but an even better smoke!!! Super easy plant to grow. Super stoked with 420 fast buds!!

Week 11: So by now the plant has stopped or at least slowed down drastically on the stretching. It’s stacking up on the buds and some of them fattening up amazingly.
Trichomes are generally milky white but still have some clear ones so going to wait a bit more than probably start flushing next week, but obviously depending on the coming days and how it develops.

Week 6 Summary: First off, Happy New Year!! Ciao 2018, may 2019 be filled with peace, love, joy and dank buds 😄😉
Day 36-39: Started off nice well this week, considering the amount of defoliation I did on day 35. Some more stretching going on here but not too much, except 4AM3 has a central shoot I couldn't find a spot to LST that just started to shoot right up lol. Starting to show some nice frost on Day 36 too. 4AM2 is already starting to plump up a bit, don't think will get much more stretch on that one, seems like it will probably harvest the least. I might have overdone the defoliation on it on Day 35 lol. 4AM2 is the one I decided to top for the hell of it anyway because it had a really wierd growth mutation. Still, with less main tops to produce it might be the best bud of them all 😅
Day 37-42: Day 37 is when I started seeing a deficiency I thought might have been magnesium on 4AM1. Pictures to show up top. Since their next feeding wasn't scheduled until day 42 I waited. Day 38 and it had spread a little on the same plant, and typical calmag deficiencies started slowly showing up on a few other plants(really tiny amounts). I posted on reddit and pretty much confirmed my suspiscion of a calmag deficiency. Since I am watering twice a week, once with calmag ph'd to 6.8-6,9 and once with blume nutes ph'd at 6.3-6,5. The calmag feeding was done on day 42( as scheduled at full strength this time so hopefully the problem will go away. 4AM2 hasn't been watered yet, pot didn't feel completely light yet(plus she had the most runoff last feed), will get her dose tomorrow.
P.S. Really starting to smell like sweet berries! Mmm.. 😍
On to week 7!

She’s getting their folks almost, I’m pushing for 10-30 amber and mostly milky. But we gave her a great watering and some tlc, took off some fading leaves and made sure she was happy and growing well, added some thrip protection due to reducing a outdoor from the snow. But all is good in the hood.

Mainlining was too stressful on these plants. Changed my mind to just lst and small topping.
Size and color of each plant are varying making it difficult to choose what to feed. Just started adding gro nutrients. Some look like they need more and others are getting too much N.
Not particularly impressed with this veg at day 43, but i knew it wouldn't be the easiest grow considering the strain. Still excited for flower and to smoke it at the end of this summer.

26.4.25:
The plants were watered with 3 ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3, containing the following nutrients:-
♡ 1/2 Tsp Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients
♡ 1/4 Tsp Ecothrive Biosys.
27.4.25:
I LST'd again by adjusting the tie downs.
For FastBuds Mystery seed auto #1 and RQS Northern Lights autoflower, this will probably be the last time I adjust the fabric ties, as they're now well in to flower.
Keeping the canopy as even as possible.
29.4.25:
FastBuds Mystery seed #1 has taken very quickly to the readjustment of the fabric ties. Within an hour, the plant had already grown back towards the light. That's always so crazy to me.
I watered 3 litres 2 days ago, and I'm not going to water again until it has dried. I suspect that will be at the end of the week.
The larger pots are a learning curve with trying to water adequately but not too much.
I don't think that I've ever overwatered, I never water to run off. This time came uncomfortably close though
Thanks for checking my diary and hanging out 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

A lot of trouble in this round. The problem with the heat contributed to them stretching, and then of course heat stress -.-
one of them gave me 20g while the other one 124. I fed them all the same, they may have succumbed to other stress, who knows...

Started my trellis net or SCROG . As the plants grow I will weave them into position for budding. Also started defoliating the lower leaves and lower growing sections that will not see much light . Looking very good just wish they would grow a little faster..lol

Primera semana de floración. Se hizo un poco de defoliacion. Se retiraron las hojas más grandes y algunas de las medianas para permitir el ingreso de la luz a las zonasas bajas. También se hizo lst a una rama que se estaba yendo muy arriba, para equiparar y dejar todo al mismo nivel.

Eine aufregende und intensive Woche liegt hinter uns! Lange lasse ich die beiden nicht mehr stehen, Nebeltau und sehr hohe Luftfeuchte haben beiden Pflanzen etwas zugesetzt. Das tägliche Absuchen ist nun unerlässlich, ich finde regelmäßig neue Stellen an Blütenstielen, die sich im späteren Verlauf zu Fäulnis entwickeln würden. Die betroffenen Stellen befinden sich dort, wo ich während der Regenperiode entlaubt habe. So habe ich den Verdacht, dass ich die Blätter zu nahe am Stiel geschnitten habe. Denn dort, wo etwas mehr Blattstiel stehen blieb, sind die Stengel weiterhin gesund. Insgesamt empfinde ich die beiden als sehr robust und widerstandsfähig, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass dieser Sommer und Herbst immer wieder feucht bis nass war. Dennoch sollte man in dieser letzten Phase wachsam bleiben und die Pflanzen wirklich gründlich absuchen. So blieb der Verlust durch Blütenfäule sehr gering. Mit Hilfe einer Taschenlampe zum Ausleuchten von schattigen Bereichen, etwas Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe zu den schönen Pflanzen, werde ich ein sehr zufrieden stellendes Ergebnis in der Trockenkammer aufhängen können.
Der Duft der beiden Shamaninnen hat sich intensiviert. Sie sind noch einmal deutlich frostiger geworden und schön ölig-harzig. Nachdem ich bereits Probeblüten getrocknet und vaporisiert habe, sowie mehrmals einen starken Cannabistee aus den Blüten gebrüht und getrunken habe, bin ich mir sicher, dass ich nun jederzeit beruhigt ernten und eine ausgewogene Wirkung erwarten kann. Es ist ein klares aktivierende Sativa High, dass mich fröhlich und kommunikativ stimmt aber nie laut wird, selbst bei sehr hoher Dosierung im Tee. Die Wirkung setzt jeweils langsam ein. Auf ein fröhliches Gähnen folgt ein Hallo-Wach-Kick und ein langanhaltendes High, dass mich sanft zurückkommen lässt.
Danke für‘s vorbeischauen und das Interesse an meinen Shamaninnen. 💚

WEEK 8
Finally calibrated my ph meter and get everything sorted. Ph is now 5.5 but it should slowly building up to 6.0
I lightened the feeding because of some signs of overfeeding but nothing too dramatic.
Very strong citrusy smell. One of the plants is incredibly frosty for it's age and all buds look pretty dense so I can't wait what is gonna happen over next few weeks.
Giving them pretty much max recommended dose of CANNA BOOST so I hope it's gonna give me some good results in terms of taste and smell. :)
Oh and I finally got new 600W bulb
