Finally started to show signs of flowering, I was a little worried and inpatient. Scrog is filled out nicely, I have stopped tucking the branches and plan on letting the plants have their stretch. In about a week or so will go in for another defoilitation. I've started to add to PK boosters to my nutrient mix. Using general hydroponics , for some reason I can't select their nutrient line. Cal mag - 2.5ml/gallon Micro-2.5 ml/gallon Gro - 1ml /gallon Bloom - 2.5ml/gallon Koolbloom - 1ml/gallon Floralicious plus- 1ml/gallon

Gorilla Jealousy F1 is growing good. I had a little issue with the light not strong enough, and she got a bit top heavy. That is fixed now, and she has gotten a lot stronger. I did top her today and removed the first node growth. She is ready to go for another week.

Moved into the big tent under my good lights and they are really rocking now. Going to give them a full strength flowering tea this week because i'm starting to show a little K and P deficiencies starting, but only in the mexican airlines. Either they got the weak part of the soil batch, or they are just heavier feeders. Knowing fast buds, they are just hungry girls! So far so great, the fruity funk smell is really picking up this week and the structure of the bushier pheno looks like i'm going to pull roughtly 90-100 grams dry off of her if she bulks up well. Super excited!

- Day 72 Already 10 weeks old at his point whew. She seems to be drinking less now as she is starting to near the end of her life. Haven't checked trichomes today yet, as I took some the other day and most were still clear or milky so will check again in a day or two. Will be starting to lower the amount of water and nutes I give in the next few waterings before harvest. Looking forward to this one! Will be my first experience with smoking my own plant that contains more than 0.5% thc. 😍 Day 73 I increased the height of the light a bit as I feel like quite a few of the leaves are starting too look really crunchy and I want to avoid fox tailing from happening. Not 100% sure, but I think your meant to decrease light intensity towards the end of the grow? I checked trichomes again and definitely still seeing a lot of clear ones, but I've noticed quite a few more amber ones already too. Day 74 Gave another water today. 1.3L (6.3ph) with some bio-bloom, top-max, bio-heaven and acti-vera. Day 75 Most of the fan leaves are starting to show that plant is really at the end of life now, crispy and yellow. The smell coming of the plant is strong now, having a hard time keeping it stealthy like this 😅. I hope those trichomes get ready soon, so that I can chop. Day 76 Checking those trichomes again, still seeing a lot of clear ones, more amber showing up though....but we shall wait a bit longer for now. Day 77 Gave her another watering today, 1.5L (6.3ph), she is still drinking quite a bit by the looks of it as the pot was very light, was expecting it to take a bit longer as she is nearing end of life, but she still slurping it all up. By the looks of the trichomes it looks like she still needs a bit more time, I'm starting to see some trichomes amber up slowly, but I'm also still seeing quite a few clear ones.

Alien Vs Triangle starting to get huge. Impressive for 2 weeks old. Gave her an overdose of Recharge this week and I think it paid off! I'm betting she double (or triples) in size this week. Stay Tuned!👍

Hi all 🧑‍🌾 Welcome to my 🍌💜👊 week update. Hope everyone keeping well and having a great week😁 Thank you so much for so much support on this bananas ride 🙏💜💚💜💚 Everything still going pretty well. Girls are developing and stretching like crazy. Athena currently Dec 14 90cm and main stem of Xena is not far of this height either. Unfortunately noticed first signs of calcium deficiency(my opinion) on Athena. Thankfully started feeding both girls with calmag weeks back but the dosage wasn't not enough for Athena. Started small treatment very next day on Dec 11 (see description below) I belive got my baby back on right track. Week 9 Dec 11-17 Dec 11 Watering was planned for Tuesday but due to calcium deficiency decided for a little treatment. Watered both girls with mixture of reduced content of growth nutes by 50% calmag at 1.2 ml per ltr. Reduced solution PH to 6.2 as apperently it's ideal for calcium consumption. Over period 4h I have watered Athena with 5ltr with couple runoffs. Xena 3ltr. Total of 7-10 leaves affected mainly at top colas close to the light. Dec 12-13 Purely observation and all looking well. Of course all affected leaves will progres of showing signs but good news is that growth and development booming and don't see any new leaves with symptoms. Very nice trichomes development in recent days and more and more colours. Dec 14 Second watering for this week 6.5l Increased calmag to 1.4ml per ltr and if still things will be looking well reduce to 1 or 1.2 on next feeding. Dec 15 Very nice respond on yesterday feeding. They definitely fatten over night and getting more and more frosty. Will need to remove some foliage soon as getting extremely bushy again. Dec 17 Xenas main stem top cola almost touched the light today. Tied her to left side of the cabinet, applied selective defoliation on both girls, tied few branches to netting and on the end of this busy day a third watering for this week. 7 ltrs beetwen both. Runoffs Xena PH6.4 Athena 6.3. Very nice week have to say. I belive that calcium deficiency on Athena is no longer a case here and both girls developing very nicely. Both are still stretching, buds are gaining in size and both girls started exploding with trichomes, Thank you all again for such amazing support 🙏peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚💜💚💜💚 Stay tuned for new week update 😉🧑‍🌾✌️💚

Things are looking decent. Bud sites are starting to get nice and hairy. The blackberry breath pheno in the center of the room is chunking up like crazy and quite a bit faster than the rest. It might finish early or just be a super thick pheno. I’m going to give a fish fertilizer nitrogen boost to all plants that are yellowing, including the nice blackberry breath pheno. I’ve started a new living soil pile. I took the left over super soil from some of the male plants, mixed in a generous amount of dry compost, worm castings and natures pride bloom, sprinkled a shit ton of great white and mixed it all up. I also recently got another brand of beneficial bacteria called Dr. Mary Janes. Mixed a good amount of that in. I also found a good mychorizzae called WOW Organics. I mixed up a ton and then sprinkled a layer on top. I grinded up some oatmeal and sprinkled another layer over the mykes. I then mixed up a full strength feed of some Alaska fish and molasses and then saturated the medium. In a month or so there should be a nice layer of mycelium over the top layer

Plants are starting to get out of control. Had to bend and route two of the tallest branches (one from Zoe, one from Grace). River is just hanging out in the back chilling. The new branches started covering the while netting, blocking out the humidifier. Eventually had to cut off a beautifully developing cola, because both branches got kinked I damaged Grace's trying to create space for the humidifier vapor through. NOTE: I stopped color correcting the timelapses in post after fine tuning the White balance in-camera with custom settings. Left as is to better show when I'm adding blue light to develop broader growth. Halfway through the timeplapse you can see where the screen turns dark green. That's from the fill light being plugged into the circuit not controlled by the timer. Thank God my plants have been very forgiving. I think I'm going to need to add a second grow light, because now I have some really short sections, and some really tall areas that aren't getting any light when I bring the lamp closer to the shorter blooms.

I did this beautiful girl a strong defoliation and let's see together what kind of girl she will be in the end, in 10 days I completely filled the 120/120 tent with the plant and then I will switch the light cycle to 12/12 🌞🌋💚

I decided to top her at the beginning of week 3 and she did super well! More than happy with all the extra growth I got from doing the Topping. Just debating on doing some lead stripping on it to allow more light into the bottom and center of the plant

Started off by setting up the growing environment and dialling everything in such as; RO Water for the RDWC hydroponic system. Water Heater being set at 20 degrees C. Water chiller being set at 21 degrees C. pH being set at 5.7/5.8 Room Temp and humidity 20/23 Degrees C / 60%/80%RH. Instead of using rockwool cubes to place my seeds, I put them directly into the clay pebbles. I then used a DIY humidity dome to place over the seeds until they make an appearance. I have been top feeding RO water every 6 hours. Foil was used to cover the net pot to ensure no light leaks were going into the system. Highly important in DWC. Will add some light nutrients once seeds are more established. Until the next one!

Hoy después de 10 días sin colgar nada las plantas presentan un ptipo de carencia debido al suelo debíl de inicio. Trasplantados a tiestos de tela reforzando el mantillo. En estos días he dejado un plazo más largo antes de volver a preparar el te de compost. Hoy recibirán su riego de té y esta mañana han sido rociadas.. La verdad que el efecto de positivo de rociar las plantas de buena mañana las deja bien tiesas y vigorosas. Antes de este riego recibió una tirada de agua sola y la siguiente fue de SST basado en brotes de soja germinados un técnica que aporta muchas vitaminas y enzimas a las plantas. El compost tea de esta semana le he agregado : Tierra de cultivo 100g Hummus de lombriz 200g Guano de murciélago 80g Cola de caballo 2.5g Spirulina 7g Hidrolizado de kelp 20g Ácidos fulvico 2ml Melaza 76ml Mezcla para 15 litros. A ver como le sienta.. Me siguen recomendando que le de algún aporte con productos pero sigo buscando el modo de hacerlo por mi mismo.. Si alguien cultiva así a base de tea estaría interesado en compartir conocimientos

Honestly, the difference from the end of week one to now being in the middle of week two is actually insane. I wasn’t even sure if this plant was going to make it or not because my other one did not. The 🌱 has definitely blown up and is responding well to basically everything. I did have one issue with watering her and leaving the lights on.. DUH 🙄 Otherwise she’s looking healthy at least to me. Correct me if I’m wrong. Haha. Big learning experience for me!

Plants started growing very fast. 20 hours light a day and 140 ml water for 2 plants so 35 ml each plant. (70ml -35ml one plant- morning, and 70ml -35ml one plant evening). From Monday I will start giving 200ml water 100ml in the morning and then the rest in the evening. Ventilation almost 24 hours, They are getting bushy and the color looks healthy green. I am excited. Purple Punch ( the right one) does not have the smell but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started smelling from the 3rd week, it is not strong, it is smooth, enjoyable. I still use trigger spray but I stopped triggering directly on the plant to avoid any fungee or toxicity, I just keep the soil moist. I surrounded them with kitchen foil around the lamp to have a more effective light. It reflects the light and the light goes everywhere. This step has been done because I have only the 60w LED each plant so I try to provide the maximum strength this way, and by keeping close distance also. The lamp is not hot so it ain't gonna burn the plant I had checked it before. I just purchased today a 600w LED because these plants look so good so I wanna provide the best circumstances for them. 4th-week 4th day I a just waiting for my delivery my 600 W grow LED light will come. From today I started watering with 50ml each plant 2 times a day so all together 200ml a day. Plus I always use trigger spray for the soil to be kept wet. They are looking better and better. Nice color and bushy appearance. Wonderful. I realized some holes on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe's leaf but there is no insect I was checking. I do not really know the reason for that. Tonight I will set up the new 600 W LED so I am changing the current 120W. Big Step forward! It is not that easy that I thought, the lamp is great but the temperature raised up a lot, so needed to buy a fan also and the humidity went down. It is not easy to find the proper solution to be acceptable, good temperature and humidity at the same time. So I decided to program a 6/2 schedule, so 6 hours light on and the fan always with 15 min more, and 2 hours off so I do provide 18 hours light and 6 hours darkness but it is divided. The plants can rest after every six hours and use the energy they received. Last day of the 4th week, LST has been done with the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe, both are growing rapidly, let's see what the 5th week brings! End of he week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 25cm, Purple Punch is 20cm😇

Fun fact : my TDS meter broke down. I was running an EC of 4.3, needless to say the plant went into super lockout. I lost a lot of leaves and am trying to get it on the right path again. I had enough foliage to survive it fortunately trichomes are still quite empty, most likely it will need another 2 weeks to mature UPDATE: Day 67 the plant seems to have finally stabilized again, EC and PH stopped swinging around like crazy

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,
