day 42: LOTTA leaves, had to defoliate 2-3 times. they started to show their first pistils a couple days before the Ayahuascas, hope I can do a harvest before May,(the Peyotes) but it seems really tricky..unfortunately I need to leave them for a week in April. I'm pretty scared to leave them alone at the end of flowering... Day 43: do you think the leaves on 2 plants might be too dark green? Thanks! day 46: defoliating

2 Black Cherry Gelato 🍒 Clones from my clone guy- 1000w LED, 4G Autopots,, coco/perlite 65/35, Jacks RO + dry koolblom and humic acid , RO water, AC pro Controller and T8, 5x5 GG Tent with extension. Garage grow SoCal. Another hot week in the garage averaging 88°. The girls are starting to develop and gain weight. Trichomes are coming along. We’re running just under 1000ppm with no issues. We switched nutes and reservoir funk is gone. This weeks accomplishments: Switch from GH to Jacks RO Install separate reservoirs for black cherry gelato and purple push pops Clean all autopots and reservoir lines. Install separate lines for black cherry gelato This weeks issues: Spider mites. Found them in the outside grow and found a few leaves with them inside. Big time nightmare. Primarily on the gelatos inside. Doing manual scouting and removal every day. Long term issues It’s hot. High 80s low 90s all week. So the same - Cooling and VPD targets during heat waves Preventing the spread of mites and mold issues during high humidity conditions Managing girlfriend expectations through harvest. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. Best of luck gromies. Check out my purple push pop grow side by side with my indoor grow- same clone batch. Check out my outdoor light deprivation grow side by side with my indoor grow. This should be a great comparison of indoor versus outdoor grows. 👍

Day 50. Gorillas goes by plan, Cookies is still a pain every time i see them ... Control garden will go to green house on day 54, rest of girls will get 24 hours of darkness and will be forced to flower .. Nothing good to be said, but i will try to feed them, hope nitrogen toxicity wont kick in ... Both strains are overfed very easy, cookies are overfed without food even ... ;))) Lets see .. Happy growing ! p.s. my old phones mic is broken, so put volume down while watching video ;))) Day 52. Girls were very hungry, so heavy feed and rain for them. Lights where dimed to 50% while leaves had water on them. Some Cookies started to stretch, inner node distance is huge, maybe i will have second time only in my life hermie.... Anyway, hope to switch them by day 55. This grow i cant get girls to pray, its always somthing, growing is really hard sometimes .. Good luck everyone ! Happy Easter ! Day 53. Girls sometimes looks ok, but still far ftom i have used to .. Couple more days of veg. CalMag next watering, still have some redish stemps.. Control garden will be moved to green house, too small, let them veg under natural sun, while those will finish ..

buds are starting to get heavy I had to put a few on steaks

4/22/2024 Day 29 showing plenty pistils, still in the transition to flower stage. Training may help the plant grow bigger/ longer stems. They can be semi bushy when spread out. Switched nutes to flower bloom from Gaia green 4/26 day 33? Last half of week 5 there has been more of a stretch than there was previous to this. These plants have been mad with a bit of over water and chlorine issues and maybe cal mag 4/27 day 34 end of week 5 The plants both stretched. The one I didn’t train,I can see a visible growth of about double the height, just over this last week. For it being just a pre flower stretch/transition phase for the auto flowers, I am surprised at how many pistils are on the flower sights. The end of last week, I didn’t feel like there were enough pistils to consider it the beginning of flower, and now at the end of this week, it looks like this should be the end of week 1 flower, but they were still stretching.

Update Day 14 Flowering: Wow this girl has fought her way into my affections this week. Her stacking nodes are impressive and so not like her mothers growth. I can see how they will stack and grow quiet well now and am hopeful of her yield. For 2 weeks old , she is doing great and to say how long she was held back ect.. ,doing even better. Still no signs of any issues or deficiencies so all good. Lets see gow she copes this week with the heatwave.

Farbenpracht. Meine 2te DNA Erfahrung. Und ich bin begeistert.

I fed them nutrients until Wednesday and continued until Saturday with RO water, changing the reservoir daily until I got the ppms down to were my truncheon doesn’t react anymore. On Saturday evening started cutting them down (6hours….).

She's growing steady. Trying too keep up with her sisters.😑

This week I didn't fill the reservoir, so they were still using the solution from the last week and then the remaining moisture from the soil. I spotted some sus looking parts in the Glookies and since it looks done and started fading very quickly once the reservoir was empty, I decided to chop it on day 70F (first day of week 19). The others, especially the GMO, look like they can keep going a bit longer, so I gave them a watering directly into the pot.

Bud fatten up and smell and look so nice 😍 So happy to grow such beautiful plant she is mazing with lots off branches but bit short only 60cm Every day going she get darker purple Because she so bushy some bud won't get air and light so every time I feed her I have to remove some top leaves or middle leave s to get ligh and airflow I hate popcorn nugs and she seems have alot popcorn nug but bud still growing and fatten up I won't rush to harvest her I let her grow atleast 3 or 4 weeks more

Day 57 - The girls are bursting with flower....... looked abit light (the main tops looked a light green, showed signs of nutrient deficiencies), so upped the Dutch Master Gold One Flower, it's 1000 ppm now.... thinking about Defoliation... outside temperatures are middle of winter, 0oC to 20oC (32oF to 70oF) .... but typical high low is 5-15oC (40-60oF)......... surprisingly the LED's warm the tent upto 20-24oC, this is important point.... i am running the lights, 6 pm to 6 am... 12hrs lights on all night, and all day is night mode...... during the day is the highest temps of the day... and during the lowest temps, they have the light heat ....... Day 61 - I trimmed em .... this was the third defoliation..... things are starting to get sticky..... ah i'm just going to wing it.... they are 2 months (8 wks) from seed.... idk what i'm doing....... i did some serious stress bending today, and had to put afew tie downs in..... my theory is to hurt em as much as i can without killin em.... to make em harder, stronger, faster, more stressed, so they can survive anything..... grow em stronger...... the smell is zero in the home, but once i got them out for their 2 week haircut, they started producing some strong wet kisses, that were sticky and wet.... the aroma of heavenly ladies was abundant...... 😎😎 idk... this tastes so good.... it's like some kind of weird berry combo goodness.... i'm vaping vanilla custard atm and this is so good with vanilla custard.... vanilla custard kush n cookies... haha watch the video......... 😎

SATIVA DREAM by KANNABIA Week #8 Overall Week #7 Veg She's doing great with the weather and the heat she's trying to stretch and get tall but I'm going to top her next week again. Overall no issues this week. Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com SATIVA DREAM

Loving the frosty look of this canopy, there's buds everywhere. I think she may have been over trained though. I've thinned out a few tops that were never going to come to anything and this weeks pics are the results. I can see at least 20 tops on this beast. Some real nice development going on!

***I’m not sure why but it’s only letting me put 100 growing plants, but I actually harvested 180 plants in three separate rooms of about 300 sqfeet almost each, running in at 350 g per plant *** Given her being my first grow, I don’t really have anything to compare to but me and my plants have gone through a lot this year. Definitely going to need filters with this one, for the strong scent. 10 out of 10 would recommend this strain. I tried some fish fertilizer through some of the early growth and everytime I did, I would notice the plants beginning to burn so I completely stopped it, I learned organic is the best way to go if I’ll ever be using fertilizer again. This is the only way I would’ve learned it through experience! I didn’t think I can make it all the way through with my harvest, but ever since I got on Growdiaries everybody has helped me tremendously with every question I had, without the site my whole to harvest would’ve went to shit along time ago. Haha I really can’t thank my Growmies here enough for all their support. Every time I thought about giving up I would have uplifting comments assuring me my plants we’re doing fine. A message to all nee growers. Don’t be afraid of failure. Ask questions. I don’t know when my next grow will be but when, or if I decide to grow again, I’ll definitely document it on the best possible weed growing platform. Cheers friends!

Starting to really stretch nice. Drinking a good amount of water at this point. About half a gallon every 3-4 days. Feeding them lightly, bout 1/4 strength once a week.

thanks if ya still following this diary hope your as pleased at the progress as i am!!!! im excited writing thia diary as i already know whats comin!!!!

Training week for the girls! 💪 Not a big fan of bending clips but some of the plants seem a bit stunted with slow grow and not much branches to work with! 😕 Hoping they bounce back and have a nice late stretch next week 😅
