Hello everybody! Here we are a week later and I’m starting to see some nice improvements and developments. This week I fed all plants pretty heavily with Recharge and Dolomite Lime (and a little Cal Mag). The plants seemed to like it, the color is really coming back to a nice shade of green instead of the pale yellow’ish green. I’m also seeing nice bud sites developing on all of the photos. My autos are doing great too. The FastBuds Blackberry is a beautiful shade of purple and the Barneys Farm NYC Diesel is nice and chunky with tons of crystals. I’m going back to my normal nutrient routine this week and think it should be fairly smooth sailing from here. One negative is I seem to have inherited some bugs from my wife. She asked me to put one of her outdoor plants in the room so it would survive the winter, well it looks like that plant was infested with bugs. The little f’ers had a feast on some of the leaves. My wife gave me the OK to toss the plant, so with the plant removed it should be fairly easy to irradiate any remaining bugs with some sticky paper. I’d like to say thank you to all who answered my question regarding recommend reading on cannabis. I’m selecting the answer for the Grow Bible by Greg Green because I was actually unaware of that one. I’m familiar with the Cervantes and Rosenthal versions but not Greg Greens. I’ll be ordering that book after I receive and finish “True Living Organics” by The Rev (should be here tomorrow). This week I have a new question for my GD friends…. CO2? I have not been using CO2 but EVERY book I read recommends using it, I’m not prepared to go out and buy a CO2 tank, regulator, etc… at this time. Has anyone ever used one of those CO2 bags? Or do you have any DIY CO2 solutions you can recommend? I’m looking forward to your answers on CO2. I’ll leave you this week with another interesting excerpt from “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear: “I prefer to use high-pressure sodium lamps. With the exception of LED's, HPS lamps are the most efficient source of light you can buy, both in terms of light output and light spectrum. Having read nearly every book on the subject of growing pot, I feel that their authors tend to overemphasize the importance of light spectrum. You do not need to alternate between metal halides (for growth) and sodiums (for flowering). That is an oversimplification of the plant's light requirements. You may do this if you like--it certainly won't hurt--but I firmly believe that the gains are just not great enough to justify the cost of the extra MH lamp.” -Read Spear

Week 14 complete..and she's still going!! Trichomes are getting there..slowly but surely!! Buds are really fattening up and she smells bloody lovely!! Earthy pine and lemon/citrus. It's just a waiting game now. Just a couple of white pistils left so I'm thinking this could be the week!! But she may still need another..I'm in no rush!! The packet says 10-12 weeks but she's well past that so it shows patience it's extremely important!! Still giving her water at .5l per 24hrs. And when the tricomes are more towards at least 70% milky and the other 30% a mix of amber and clear I'll starve her of water for a couple of days and that should finish her off!! Really looking forward to seeing what the root ball looks like as it should have a crazy mycillium network that should have regulated everything as well as it has!! I'm also adding a short video diary at the end of every week!! --------------- Next I'll be doing either of the following in fully organic living soil..as I've not decided yet - 2 x photoperiod Chocolope by DNA Genetics (Chocolate Thai x Cannalope Haze) 🍫 or 2 x Tangie Sour by Riserva Privada (East Coast Sour Diesel x Tangie) Thanks for stopping by - feel free to comment, give and feedback and follow - and I'll have another update next week which may be the last!! 🤙

Ultima semana de fertilización, a partir de hoy solo riegos con enzimas o con flush, creo que voy a dejarla unas dos semanas con este régimen. Me sorprendió esta auto, de gran aroma, se desarrollo muy bien y muy rápido, lastima que no sepa que variedad es.

Hi, exciting times, flowering, see some stratching, but not too much. Plant now drinks 2 liters a time, each 2 days. Befor I was giving 1 liter every 3 days. So water cosumption encreased more then 3 times. Smell is not strong yet, as expected. Not much really I need to do escept mixing fertilizer and water the plant.

painted the senecas for sure, culled the male. both turkish are pretty well seeded out, i’m thinking maybe 20-30 seeds each, 15 fully formed and good. the senecas look lightly pollinated, maybe 15-20, 10 fully formed and good. still will be usable beans. next run after this will be good, hopefully stable genetics. gonna try for a turkish male and focus on the turkish x afghan cross, while saving the seneca x turkish for later.

These ladies continue to develop very nicely and lucky stopped stretching pretty much in the beginning of this week and the buds are forming super nicely. Since I also don’t observe a stretch in flower anymore, I decided to feed pk13/14 for the next week. It continues to surprise me how hungry these autos are, much hungrier than my glookies fro example. Unfortunately I realized that the plant on the very right of the box produces much smaller buds than the other two. I am pinning that on the fan right above her, so have pointed it slightly higher, but I guess the damage is done:(.

Die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist viel zu hoch und ich kann daran leider nichts ändern, weil es ständig regnet. Ein Entfeuchter ist mir zu teuer, weshalb ich für mehr Umluft sorge und hoffe, dass die Pflanzen die letzte Woche auch noch überstehen. Sie riechen mittlerweile echt stark. Gedüngt wird nicht mehr, die Pflanzen sollen die restlichen Nährstoffe aus der Erde und den Blättern nutzen.

Our friends at Zamnesia are frenetically active in the search for innovation for their growers and here we have a strain that brings us a citrus that reminds us so much of my homeland Italy but also of the one that is hosting me Spain both great growers of mandarins and therefore Tangerine Dream. If you only look at them a week ago it seems unbelievable, but when the plants start, they go. In this diary you will find the plant worked with the techniques in this case the first topping was done, we cleaned everything else creating the Mainfold and we are going to work everything with the main lining. We are at the first topping and we have two mini branches growing. The other one you can find in the diary next worked without the application of techniques that involve cuts to preserve its speed. The comparison is the salt of the experience. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhiza Mix (4gr in the mix, 1 gr under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l of Power Roots - 1 ml/l of Pure Zym - 1 ml/l of Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l of Alga Grow I have doubts about the compatibility of Pure Zym with mycorrhizae. If in doubt, ask the experts, don't mix too much at random. https://plagron.com/en Doubts about Pure Zym / Mycorrhizae compatibility have been dispelled, they can go well together according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html Taste this strain a little bit, it's a cross of legendary strains ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Short Description Zamnesia // When legendary genetics are crossed, something exceptional can only be born. Tangerine Dream is the result of crossing classic strains. With citrus and sweet aromas and flavors, vigorous growth and euphoric and stimulating effects, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds has it all. But don't take our word for it: order your seeds now and discover it for yourself. You can find the whole world of growing on Zamnesia and much more, take a tour of the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are exceptional and the old ones are no less... p.s. for now zero Hermaphrodites, growers can you say the same? ---- // www.zamnesia.com

I haven't defoliated much at all through this entire grow, so I decided to do a thorough defoliation and cleaned out the entire lower canopy. I also removed the sucker branches and adjusted the nutrients for early bloom. I'm using Recharge and florakleen to flush between nutrient changes.

Day 127 53 Days of flower, First day of Week 18 Day 128 54 Days of flower Plants look good, they still have some white hairs though. Day 129 55 Days of flower Trimmed 1 bud from Plant B but it doesn't seem dry enough yet. Plants A and C look like they keep popping new hairs. Day 130 56 Days of flower Chopped Plants A and C and started hang drying them, they look great in my opinion. Day 131 7 Days of drying for B and D So the buds seemed dry and the stems snap so I jarred and trimmed. Looks like 3.5 ounces or or so but I didn't Weigh

Day 79 - Another week passes, not much to post, normal feeding, 1000 ppm 6.2 PH, normal lights, the girls are fattening up nicely...... 😎 Day 84 - some pics/vids.... pics of a Test Bud (ready for curing)......doing some experimentation..... read up about drying and curing, but i don't have a set method, so test abit..... never grown bud before..... 👍 my tent is really small, i think 50x120x160 or something... and it's tight in there, i have no other source of herb, so i'm going to start getting into the smaller one, and focus the light on the larger one..... i've been trimming and drying all during the grow.... there's really only enough room for the big one, and it's really squishy in the tent........ 😎
