2.24.2024: Start of week 5 from seed. Started to flower last week. Nothing done today. Still no nutes given, still scared to defoliate. Plant is 15.5 inches tall and looks healthy. Light is 11 inches from the top and at 75% power, 112 watts. I'm clearly no expert and i'm sure there's something i should be doing(feeding) but she's chugging along. 2.25.2024: Day 37 from seed. Watered 64oz at 6.3ph. Bud development is slower then her tent mate. Perhaps thats due to her bushy stature and foliage. Still seeing solid upward growth each day. Hopefully she turns on the jets this week. Still no auxillary nutes given. Finally worked up the nerve to take off 8 fan leaves. Really opened the plant up. Hopefully i don't pay the price! 2.26.2024: Day 38. Small bit of upward growth. No negative affects from the defoliation yesterday. Will feed tomorrow for the first time at 1/4 strength nutes from the fox farm trio and maybe some calmag. 2.27.2024: Day 39 from seed. Finally fed the plant, albeit small amounts. Foxfam trio at 1/4 strength of the week 5 doses plus calmag. 64oz of the solution at 6.5ph. 2.28.2024: Day 40 from seed, 36 from sprout. Nothing doing today. Maybe a 1/4 inch of upward growth? Stuck around 19.5 inches in total height. Light at 75% power 11inches from the top. 2.29.2024: Day 41. 96oz of ph 6.5ph. Upward growth has stalled at 19.75 inches. Added a few handfuls of Ocean Forrest as i noticed the soil level has compacted a bit. Will add pics later today once she perks up a bit. 3.1.2024: End of week 6, day 42 from seed. Small bit of upward growth, now up to 21 inches. Besides some lite defoliation, i've let the plant do its thing. Since its my first time i figured the only goal is just to get to harvest. Lots of learnings thus far. FFOF probably isn't ideal but its working. Some burnt leaf tips, probably some nitrogen toxicity, but otherwise we're doing well. Will definately look to LST more and sooner next time around.

09-12-2019 I had to harvest her she was crying out and i couldn't take it no more. I also needed the room for bigger things. I have one seed left of this strain so she will return. I enjoyed my time with her but for now it's time to move to Greener Grows. Scales come in a few weeks but now expecting much as the buds were soft and loose. Thanks everyone for watching!😎

Die 12. Woche ist rum. Die Euforia und die Lemon Haze habe ich geerntet. Die Dos Si Dos hat zwei Wochen im Keller trocknen dürfen und ist dabei sehr langsam bei kühler Temperatur auf 70% Feuchtigkeit gekommen. Ab jetzt liegt sie noch für einige Wochen bei regelmäßiger Lüftung mit 62%-Boveda in Tuper Ware und reift nach.

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

I just noticed my PH has been around 7, and a couple of the seed mothers are showing CAL/MAG deficiencies.. I use well water, and I don't have to adjust it in the summer, but around late fall the PH raises. I forgot to get good pics of the seed mothers, since I was focused on the STS formulas at the time, but these are the Pollen donors transforming into male flowers. 5 weeks old. The seed mothers are coming along nice with dime sized buds on them. I Topped them all at the 5th node, just before the cola, so the canopy would all be even under the lights. I just sprayed these reversed buds 1 time only on day 17, after the first STS treatments, with 50ppm of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) to stretch them out away from each other. Gibberellic Acid causes plants to stretch enormously, and PPM's of 50 to 100 can cause females to reverse to males.

Hello Growers & Tokers! Rooooots. Don't forget about them! At the beginning of the week they all got transplanted into their final pots, 11L fabric pots. Medium is Light Mix from BioBizz. Synergy from Grotek nutrients was blended in the medium to help out the roots. Let hat mycorrhizae do it's thing. I'll let them settle in their new home then I'll be topping them to widen that canopy out. Take care out there and happy growing!

The first signs of the plant that she went to the first week of the flowering stage appeared, thats where the cannabis plant experiences rapid growth known as "the stretch," to support future bud development. Low-Stress Training (LST) is applied to manage this growth and optimize light distribution. Beneficial nematodes were introduced for natural pest control, effectively eliminating soil-dwelling pests. The nutrient regimen is adjusted to focus on increased phosphorus and potassium levels, promoting bud development. Together, I hope that these techniques support the plant's health and set the stage for a successful harvest with high-quality buds. stay tuned 😋

Alright guys, welcome back — week 7 of veg with the Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Humboldt. This week feels like a big win compared to the last one. The adjustments I made finally paid off. Cutting off the extractor really helped bring humidity back up, and that gave the plant the push it needed to get back into an optimal growth rhythm. I also realized that adding an extra light before was too much — way too much PPFD. So now I’ve gone back to a more balanced setup with a 54W COB at 5000K. The environment feels much more stable, uniform, and the plant clearly loves it. Nutrients are still straight Athena — Grow A, Grow B, CalMag, and Cleanse. EC is holding around 1.4. One thing I’ve noticed is a slight drift between what’s in the reservoir and what ends up in the saucer. That’s why I keep the res around pH 5.5–5.6. Once it drains through to the pot, it tends to rise, landing closer to 5.8 or even 6.0. It’s a bit tricky to manage, but the idea is to aim lower in the res so that the root zone ends up right where it should be. So, the main challenge for the upcoming week is to keep that pH steady in the sweet spot — ideally buffered around 5.8 to 6.0. If I can lock that in, the plant should keep pushing strong. For now, everything looks good. I’m happy with the comeback this week — definitely a victory. Let’s see how it evolves next week. Catch you then!

After strength training and taking a cutting off the tall one to the left, all plants are at 90cm. I also removed the two lowest branches for cuttings. The two on the right have much less of a Sativa shaped leaf and also grew very quickly even in the rain and thunderstorms! All seem to have recovered from strength training and growing vigorously!

Week 13: Week 5 Flower—A Garden in Full Bloom 🌸✨ Hey, Grow Fam! 💚 We’re deep into Week 13, and this room is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each plant is unique, showcasing its trichome-coated beauty, with white hairs dancing in their distinct patterns. It’s the culmination of patience, hard work, and overcoming challenges. The two-layered canopy—thanks to some ambitious young ones—is a testament to adaptability and dedication. 🌱🌟 Feeding Update: Aptus Holland Breakout Powder This week, we introduced Aptus Holland Breakout Powder into the feeding mix at 0.5g/L, alongside the nutrients already in use. This powerhouse additive is designed to promote robust flower development, enhancing both density and resin production. Breakout Powder brings that extra “oomph” to the table, helping the girls truly break out into their full flowering potential. 🌺💪 Combined with our existing recipe, the results are already starting to show. Buds are swelling, trichomes are shimmering, and the room smells heavenly. If you’ve ever wondered what a well-rounded feeding schedule can do, this week’s results are the answer! TrolMaster Magic: Monitoring & Stability I’ve included a few TrolMaster app prints to share my love for this system. It’s not just about controlling the environment; it’s about mastering it. The app provides real-time data, historical records, and an unmatched level of convenience. Whether I’m sipping coffee or working in the garden, the system keeps me in sync with my grow. This week, I’m particularly thrilled about how stable the pH levels have become since transitioning to full mineral-based nutrients. Unlike the organic-mineral combo, which required frequent adjustments, the current setup is practically self-sufficient. This stability means happier roots, more consistent nutrient uptake, and ultimately, better plants. The data speaks for itself—check out the comparison print! Comfort & Style: My Aptus Holland Pants Oh, and can we talk about how comfortable my Aptus Holland pants are? These have become my go-to garden gear. Stylish, functional, and perfect for spending long hours among the plants.
