May 25: growing quickly and looking quite good for the end of May. Fifth node is forming and the first topping for the manifold will likely be tomorrow. May 26: raised soil level using Pro-Mix and compost. Got rained on. May 27: first topping down to third node (removed 5 and 4). The only growth tips left are the two on the third node. In about a week these will be topped again. And then again. Manifolding (or mainlining) is totally easy and really is just topping at the right stages of development. Highly recommended technique. May 31: it’s been cool since the topping and seems a bit slow getting going again but I’m sure it’ll be fine. I probably could have waited a few more days before topping but oh well.

(The numbers of this harvest are from a single plant) I ended REAL ORGANIC and let plants dry by themselves on their pots outside the tent and gradually day after day i was picking and selecting dry buds from the branches 2 smoke m all! This particular diary gave me a sense of adventure, and a lot of fun, i´ll always remenber that made my quareentine a lot easier to live, by that time i felt i was prepared even for the end of the times if it comes to that 😂

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

Gu Guys, she is continuing to develop as she should, however doesn't seem to be stretching all to much even with lower light intensities. I have therefore decided to push the ppfd to roughly 600 and let her finish her pre flower, no matter if she will fill the entire scrog or not. the roots are bit stained, however, this seems to be nutrient related, no slime or smelly roots thus far and it seems like she is constantly shooting out new ones from the net pot. She is going to be a nice little bonsai bush :)

Fractal was harvested on Sept 12. Due to extended period of high temperatures and humidity with more rain expected every day following another hurricane. The other gals were showing disease. That was the determining factor to chop all outside girls down. Fractal hung in the dark for 2 days. Because her grow family experienced bud rot and wilt, she was examined carefully for any disease. She was disease free. Fractal had a long vegetative phase. Probably too long since I started my outside grow in April so they would be hardened off before I went on vacay in May. Three months of veg caused massive vegetative growth. The various breeder notes on photo period seeds indicate late September or October harvest. So that was in the back of my mind during this grow. 👉 Note for next year start seeds later in spring. 👉 Plan start date based on counting back from the vernal equinox. 👉 Based on such a long growing season, Autos may be preferable to finish quickly and not have extended vegetation phase before flower. Thank you @DivineSeeds for the opportunity to grow your exotic strains and participate in your contest. I will definitely grow fractal again.

Week 28: Watering every 3 days with 3 gallons of water, nutrients at 650 ppm. leaves are dying, some are fading and others have deficiencies. Some buds have swollen stacked calyxes bursting open with fire orange pistils covered in frost. I think these buds could go another 2 weeks but depending on the circumstances I might have to chop early.

LSTed the plants at the start of the week. Just a simple tie down. Looking good. Leaves were a bit dark green on all of them except the NL #1 so still no nitrogen feeding. Started BioBizz Grow on NL1 only.

Check out these lovely Lemmosa ladies! 😍 The buds are covered in trichomes, spreading out onto the leaves. I'm growing three, and each one of them has a slightly different smell. They now have a strong odor. They smell like skunky lemon gas. One of them has a fresher lemony gas smell. The buds form tight and dense, and spaced out from each other. The hairs (pistols) have started to change color on the tips of the plant. This is the 5th week into flowering, so it seems early for the colors to change. But, this is the best grow for me, so far. With this being my fourth run. They only needed a few leaves trimmed. I fed them FLOWER as a nutrient tea. The lights are now on 10, the highest setting.

Hi Guys, I really like the structure of this plant, as it fits my little growroom prefectly. She is in preflower now, so let’s see how much she will stretch. She already smells distinctively different to the mazaars, very Afghan ;)….

4/7 245am MONDAY totally unnecessary lighting!!!!! Experimenting with supplemental lighting ideas!! it does not have a dimmer no blue lights. It uses 16 W so I lowered the main lighting from 99 to 97 and I will probably bring it down to 94 and that will keep it as cool as the room, but the same amount of heat is a person is all the tent should give off👍👍 FROM GROK... I WAS RIGHT!!!!! HERE YOU GO EVERYBODY: I NEVER use more than 6ml per gallon of each one! ""Do Tasty Terpenes and sensizym by Advanced Nutrients work well together??? """"Yes, Tasty Terpenes and Sensizym by Advanced Nutrients can work well together in a nutrient regimen, as they serve complementary purposes and are designed to be compatible with each other and other Advanced Nutrients products. Tasty Terpenes is a bloom enhancer focused on improving flower quality, aroma, and size. It provides potassium, amino acids, and organic compounds from kelp and alfalfa to strengthen stalks, bulk up buds, and boost terpene production. It’s typically used during the flowering phase (weeks 3-6) at 2ml per liter to support robust plant development and enhance the sensory profile of the harvest. Sensizym, on the other hand, is an enzyme formula that targets the root zone. It contains a blend of enzymes like xylanase, cellulase, and beta-glucanase, which break down dead root material, organic debris, and complex carbohydrates into usable nutrients. This promotes a healthier root system, improves nutrient uptake, and can be used throughout the grow cycle—often at 2ml per liter during weeks 1-6 of bloom—to maintain an optimized growing medium. Together, they complement each other by addressing different aspects of plant health. Sensizym keeps the root zone clean and efficient, ensuring the plant can effectively absorb the nutrients and organic compounds delivered by Tasty Terpenes. This synergy can lead to better nutrient availability for flower development, potentially enhancing the size, potency, and flavor of the yield. Advanced Nutrients explicitly states that both products are compatible with all their base nutrients (pH Perfect or non-pH Perfect) and supplements, as well as competitors’ products, and can be used across various growing systems like hydroponics, soil, and coco. For best results, you’d typically apply Sensizym consistently to maintain root health, while adding Tasty Terpenes during the bloom phase to maximize flower quality. Since both are recommended at 2ml per liter, they integrate easily into a feeding schedule without overloading the nutrient solution, provided you monitor your plants for any signs of overfeeding. Growers often pair these types of products to cover both root optimization and bloom enhancement, and there’s no indication of chemical or functional conflict between them. Just ensure proper pH and EC levels after mixing to keep everything balanced."""""👍👍👍 4/8 1230am BUGS.... I saw hundreds of little white bugs on the rim of the planters, so fungus gnats LOTS of them..... Killing the grow, BPP is most damaged, I watered then sprayed FLOWER SHIELD at 10ml per 30oz saturated we will see ..... THE CHEAP AMAZON LIGHT LASTED 24 HOURS......I WILL GET AC INFINTY LIGHTS FOR AUX NEXT TIME. The lights from the humidity dome are good enough for my 2 x 2 tents 4/13 1am now im inventing some new aux lighting

On cruise control until harvest! She's very sticky, and smelly! 2.5 gallons dosage of the above listed nutes, every 4 days! Flush next watering, and then just water 'till harvest.

WOW! I swear this is exactly 7 day difference lol I have noticed the folair feeding makes the leaves darker and the ridges more pronounced. the leaves just look stronger and healthier. I was given a sample of optic foliar from the local grow store i just started a few days ago. Its kinda weird i feel like i'm a week behind from usual but i also have a feeling this could be a tent record coming this crop. I still have not topped my 2nd grows tent record of 782 grams. I'm thinking about a week until i flip to flower. I want the roots to have lots of time to fill up those pots and get ready for flower. I can feel it, 800+ grams coming this grow!!!!!! I also think this girl is gonna be a heavy producer, lets throw out a really early really random guess of 160 grams from this lady.

It is slowly coming together for a flower flip 🙏. This is my first photo period grow and I feel that I have learned so much during this grow when it comes to topping, lst, lollipopping and defoliation. Thank you Youtube for that. I am so happy with my 10 main colas now. I will flip to flower (12/12) the 29 th of December.
