Well week 5 of bloom is complete, and this week brought a few challenges. Humidity in my area has been through the roof, close to 100%. My heavy-duty equipment was struggling to bring my tent to acceptable late flowering levels, sometimes reaching over 60% RH, especially at night when the plant was respirating more. Additionally, her pale yellow color, and leathery leaves didn't excite me too much. If you remember, we had a severe heat wave a couple of weeks ago, which contributed to that. But also, since I messed up the ScrOG training, and regrettably decided not to super-crop her, a fair share of the leaf problems were due to light stress as well, as I didn't want to sacrifice lower colas, so I let it go. My biggest mistake this grow, was not paying attention to her the one day she decided to stretch nearly a foot, and was unable to be weaved into the net the next day without being snapped in half. My second biggest mistake is NOT snapping it in half, and letting it repair itself. I wouldn't have had nearly as much bleaching of leaves I think. This week, and I'm assuming because nearly all chlorophyll was depleted from her fan leaves, I didn't notice much of any change from last week. Her buds seemed to be about the same mass, and the stigmas still had the same ratio of red to white coloration. I suspected she was dead, or dying, or just...done. Not all genetics will transform all of their stigmas from white, and not all genetics will have their trichomes turn amber. So, I did a few things to confirm that suspicion. First, I looked at her trichomes on various buds closely with a microscope. They were almost all cloudy, with very very few amber. That told me that she was at an acceptable level of ripeness, even if she could have went longer, assuming she was still alive. Next, I removed the pea gravel mulch I was using in the raised bed, so I could get a closer look at the soil she was growing in, and more specifically, her roots. The soil, although moist a few inches deep, was not at the level I expected, and I think I have not been watering her enough. I don't think I'll be using a gravel mulch again. On the plus side, it did help prevent fungus gnats, as there was zero the whole grow, apart from an early week when I placed some solo cups to germinate on top of the bed, but after removing them, the fungus gnats disappeared with them. Also while inspecting the soil, I carefully dug down to inspect some of her primary roots. They were actually dry, despite the surrounding soil being moist. This could explain why she wasn't drinking much if any for the better part of the week. So, given her dry foliage, dry roots, and ripe-enough trichomes, I decided it was time to harvest her, earlier than expected. Let's also not forget that I was frightened this week with some high humidity scares, so growing longer, and possibly for no reason if she was dead or barely alive, was not in the cards. I've dealt with my fair share of bud rot before, and I would rather try what I have of her now, than to wait the extra week or so for her to be fully ripe. So, that is what I did, on the last day of the week -- I chopped her down, cut off some larger fan leaves, and hung her upside down. This, of course, was after removing the raised bed. It took me a while to empty about 45 gallons of soil so I could move it, but in doing so, I noticed a lot of beneficial critters, and nothing bad. Such critters included small centipedes, which feed on other insects, and soil mites which eat dead organic matter. I set the tent to dry at around 72F and 55 RH. And now we wait for about a week before trimming. One thing is for sure -- I am very proud of this grow, despite all these flaws. She smells incredible -- like pure citrus emanating throughout my house. This is a very strong-smelling plant. As a bonus, I've included a time-lapse video of the entire grow from start to finish in the last media above. Check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be back for the harvest week for the dry weight in about a week or so, after we're done drying and trimming.

During the second week of the flowering stage in marijuana plants, significant developmental changes occur. This phase marks the transition from vegetative growth to the flowering stage, where the main focus of the plant shifts towards reproduction. The plant begins to form buds, which are the reproductive organs. These buds will eventually develop into the flowers that contain the cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, for which the plant is cultivated. The plant's energy is now primarily directed towards bud formation, with a decrease in the growth of new leaves or height. The plant also undergoes hormonal changes during this week. There's an increase in the production of ethylene, a hormone that promotes flowering. Photoperiod-sensitive strains respond to the reduced daylight hours (or artificial light hours in indoor growing), which triggers the flowering process. Additionally, the plant's nutrient requirements change; it requires more phosphorus and potassium to support bud development, and less nitrogen than in the vegetative stage. The plant's overall metabolism increases to support these developmental changes, necessitating careful attention to watering and feeding schedules by the grower.

Hello Diary, We have reached the end of the third week of vegetation, which is also the beginning of flowering. As you can see in the photos, the flowers started to form, which is usual for automatics after 3 weeks of vegetation. For now, everything is fine, the plant is developing nicely, getting a lot of new leaves. In terms of height, she did not grow much, only 22.5 cm in three weeks, I doubt that she will grow much now. I started to feel a slight smell, which also makes me happy :). At "Farm" she is the shortest, her roommates are much taller than her. This week I also did minimal defoliation, I removed only the lowest leaves to make watering easier. When it comes to watering, it is not frequent, about every 4 days. This week I added one tablet of Easy grow booster. The conditions on the Farm are excellent I would say, the temperature is around 26 degrees while the humidity is around 50%. Here's how it looked this week. 16/05/2023 - Day 17. Watering. I prepared 7 liters of water, lowered the pH. to 6.0 and added one Easy Grow tablet and with that amount of water I watered all three plants equally. 19/05/2023 - Day 20. First, I did a minimal defoliation, removing only the bottom leaves to make watering easier and improve air flow through the plant a bit. After that I watered all three plants. 20/05/2023 - Day 21. Measuring the height of the plants and taking photos at the end of the third week. Apollo F1 - 22.5 cm. That's all for this week, see you soon.

G.23: le piante sono in salute anche se la g.p. ha le foglie un po' basse, non noto carenze, ma penso che abbia bisogno semplicemente di più acqua (al giorno 21 ho dato 300 ml, al giorno 23 600 ml). Controllerò domani per vedere se migliora G.24: le piante hanno risposto bene all'innaffiatura e oggi i vasi erano di nuovo leggeri come ieri, perciò nuova innaffiatura da 500 ml per entrambe. G.27: come dalle foto ho messo un piccolo umidificatore a causa dell'eccessivo caldo (30% u.r.). Le piante crescono bene. Sto mantenendo le quantità di fert più basse rispetto alle volte precedenti e mi sta ripagando con un bel verde delle foglie. Questa settimana le piante hanno iniziato ad avere molta più sete e ad ogni giorno che ho pesato il vaso era sempre leggero. Continuate a seguirmi per nuovi aggiornamenti.

growing fast, seems I was skip few weeks in this diary.

Hello. This is the end of week 4 and the beginning of week 5 of flowering. Did a smell check of the resin and found that Plant #1 smells of Sweet Mandarin Orange. Plant #2 smells like a freshly washed Sweet Carrot right out of the garden. Plant #3 smells like a average Sweet Round Orange. I'm hoping plant #1 have big, dense, strong smoking, buds. Love that smell. OK. Be Cool. Chuck.

Pretty happy with this grow. Going to either reveg 1 and pop s2 for next or do all s2. Absolute 0 herm through all flower and all plants. Chopped them. Will try to reveg 2 I am very baked

30-06-2020 defoliation preparation for flowering . Today i defoliate and clean them up good. looking for just toops. Any tips or comments are aprecviated and i will respond asap. Stay safe , Peace out D

Cambiamos de fotoperiodo y las plantas rápido han pegado el cambio y ya sacan los primeros pelitos

She'll be the 1st to harvest. She looks to only have a week left if that?...

December 16 2018 day 84 from seed LOOKS GREAT

The Mandarin Squeeze sisters are doing okay. The neem oil treatments have them a little stressed. I am not sure if the issue is solved if not. I will have to go buy a insecticide soap or something for whatever the neem is not eliminating. Just not sure what. I just know it has to stop prior to flowering. 🤞🏻it is solved.

Chopped on day 78, trichomes were fully milky and beginning to turn amber on the calyxes. I was looking for more of a sativa feel, so I decided to pull her today! She stinks like gas, sour candy, and hints of spice and kush. She started out super strong but began having calcium, nitrogen, and phosphorous issues throughout flower. Fortunately she turned out healthy in the end and pushed out a lot of resin. Decided to go with a Lotus Cure on this round since my last round got dried too quickly and lost a lot of terpenes. Buds were chopped down, green leaves without trichomes removed, and straight into jars and into the mini-fridge at 55-62% RH and 40F.

Added one gallon of water with 1 tsp of MaxiGro mixed in. Topped/defoliated. Fixed grow light, and replaced 3 dead LED chips with full spectrum LED chips.

Friday, 2021-06-25 Definitely the last Week of Flower for her, soon Harvest will come And she stands now under the VIPARSPECTRA XS-2000 Light is on 75 Percent, to get used to... because the Lights are very Powerful and I dont want to burn// stress her in her last Days Leaves are discoloring, all Pistils are Orange/ brown Trichomes are all Milky and afew Amber ones Tomorrow she gets agood drink with " Clean Fruits" to help her devour the Nutrient-Remainings Shopping Link for the LIghts: Amazon US: XS1000 10% off: it10mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0y-6 XS1500 5% off: it15mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0yA XS2000 5% off: it20mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0y2Y XS4000 5% off: it40mlarimar http://yx-8.cn/0y5k Amazon Canada XS1000 10% off: it10mlarimar https://amzn.to/38udUVe XS1500 5% off: it15mlarimar https://amzn.to/3esVUyr XS2000 5% off: it20mlarimar https://amzn.to/3l5zAfg XS4000 5% off: it40mlarimar https://amzn.to/3l7k5Uj

Miam miam on va se régaler !!🔥😵S dans

As expected the look of the bud from Exotic Genetix never disappointed us but as always it come with low yield and small bud. Even though the bud tastes amazing and it give a pretty heavy indica effect
