The Afghani x Mac1 auto from DNA recovered well from the training and is in full bloom. Bud sites are looking great. Had an issue with humidity this week and the leaves started looking rough. She got a dose of Recharge this week and drinks about 8-12oz of water throughout each day. All in all she's trucking right along. Very happy with how smooth this solo cup grow is going.

Week 25 overall, corresponding to week 3 of flowering for the Pineapple Upside Down. Flowering has now clearly declared itself. Bud sites are visible everywhere, with consistent pom-pom formation across the canopy. Despite being at a relatively early stage of bloom, terpene expression is already strong. Upon opening the tent, a distinct pineapple aroma is noticeable, which is very encouraging for such an early phase. Vegetatively, the plant will not recover its original leaf coloration. This is accepted at this point. However, flower development appears to be on track, and the plant is allocating energy toward reproductive growth rather than foliage recovery. A light defoliation was performed, along with the removal of lower, non-productive flower sites. This cleanup aims to avoid wasting energy on underdeveloped buds and to focus resources on the upper canopy. A fresh flowering nutrient solution was prepared. PK has been introduced lightly, in accordance with the Athena feeding schedule for week 3 of flowering. Electrical conductivity is set around 2.1 EC, with a target pH close to 6.0 to ensure stable nutrient uptake. Light intensity will be increased progressively, with PPFD moving toward approximately 600 to support proper bud development and flower density. Although the foliage remains visually poor, flower formation, structure, and aroma remain the key indicators at this stage. Given the short flowering time of this cultivar (around 45 days), timing is critical, and the next weeks will be decisive. The focus going forward will be on stability, controlled feeding, and optimized light management to extract the best possible outcome from this cycle.

Another noteworthy update in my cannabis cultivation journey has unfolded. I've introduced 'Rhino Skin' into the nutrient regimen for the plants. Known for its silica-rich composition, this supplement is designed to strengthen the cell walls of the plants, enhancing their resistance and robustness. We are now in the twilight of the vegetative stage, and the plants are absorbing the final days of growth-focused care. When the current nutrient tank is depleted, I will initiate the eagerly awaited transition into the bloom phase. In anticipation of this transition, I have prepared a bloom-specific nutrient mix that will encourage the plants to produce the lush, resinous flowers we all look forward to. This shift not only marks a new stage in the life cycle of the plants but also ushers in a period of excited anticipation as we edge closer to the fruition of my efforts.

19/05/2021 la mattina dopo aver lollipoppato ho trovato le teste delle apicali tutte a curvate verso giù credo sia dovuto allo stress..... oggi andrò a visionare se si sono riprese dal stress dubito proverò a risolvere l overfert alzando tutta la lampada in cima al box(poca luce=poco mangiare) per 4 giorni.... e cercherò di guardare un po le radici delle baby perchè ho il sospetto che l overfert si un conseguenza di troppa irrigazione d acqua.... se cosi non fosse credo che laverò il terreno tutte le mie bimbe sperando iniziano a schiarirsi un po dal quel verde scuro altrimenti niente fioritura.... restate connessi 21/05/2021 ho alzato la lampada a 90cm per farle riprendere dal forte stress lo tenuta cosi per 48 ore... andrò il 24 a vedere cosa e successo...

She’s been stacking super fast and I think she may become the biggest and highest yielding plant I’ve grown thus far. Each cola has 3 nodes minimum. I love mephisto genetics. Beginning mid-flower nutes now. Flush pH 6.4, EC 0.33. Feed pH 6.5, EC 1.01.

Capitan Future es una genética que brilla por sí sola. Su cosecha demostró cogollos densos y resinosos, con un perfil aromático sorprendente que combina notas cítricas, especiadas y un sutil toque dulce. Los efectos son intensos 😵‍💫 y equilibrados, ofreciendo una experiencia que despierta la creatividad y, al mismo tiempo, invita a la relajación. Es una variedad que destaca tanto en rendimiento como en calidad, posicionándose como una opción obligatoria para los cultivadores que buscan estabilidad, potencia 💪 y resultados de alta calidad en cada cosecha.

Sorry for the late update. A lot has been going on lately. This girl needs a defoliation once they get home from work which will be probably tomorrow evening so I won't get to that until the following day at the earliest... i hope everyone is doing well, thank you so much to Kannabia Seeds

Lowered the lights a good 8-10inches just because i realized i could get them closer without burning! Going for around 6-7 inches above canopy getting the temp in the high 70s low 80s om top canopy. All pheno are getting very unique and super resinous! I have a slight lnat problem going to spray this week when i get paid

Día 16. Ayer en el cambio de solución me olvidé la bomba desenchufada y las plantas estuvieron medio caidas hoy. Me di cuenta a tiempo y solamente tuve que sacar 6 hojas grandes que sufrieron mucho y cayeron. Luego prendí la bomba continua, bajé .un poco la intensidad de luz, y en un par de horas las plantas ya estaban mucho mejor. Esta semana agregué big bud de advance y reduje a la mitad el bud blood. Compré un medidor de ph y TDS, pero tengo que comprar baterías. Hasta ahora navego en ciego confiando en feeding y la verdad que no me ha fallado. Hice un LST para ocupar mejor el lugar, exponer más otras ramas y emparejar la altura de las plantas. Las flores han empezado a aparecer y parecen de un tamaño respetable. Día 19. Las plantas se adaptaron muy bien al LST. Ya están empezando a formarse las flores. Por suerte las veo muy bien y estoy contento con cómo vienen. El haber defoliado bastante hizo que las plantas tomen menos agua y ahora el depósito de 20 litros me alcanza bien. Estoy muy ansioso, pero siento que va pasando muy rápido el tiempo.

It time for push and tuck. I did the feeding for transition ( 1:1:1 ratio). I watch them for about 3 hours, then turn the lights out for 24-36 hours. This depletes the hormone that says veg and switches to flowering. Espoma seed starter mix : 1 TBSP Jobe’s Citrus Fruits : 1 TBSP 3 TBSP earth worm castings 1/4 tsp recharge Aerated for 30 hours at 68 degrees ( nice and frothy 😂😂) 1 gallon of water 750-765 ppms at 1:1:1 ratio. This will last for the first 6-7 days, then we switch to 1:3:2 ratio. I will list what I use for 1:3:2 as it will change from week to week. 10-18 Lights are out for 30 hours and we will see how they look. Lights go back on at 6am EST. 10-19 The lights are kicking. Did some tucking. I did 30 hours of dark before introducing 12-12 light schedule. I can see some of the pre-flower hairs sticking out. 8-8-8 at 760 something ppm’s went well. This is the first run I will be hand feeding the plants throughout flower. I relied on dry amendments and had some success, but I think I can push the bar higher having more control over the feedings. I will be doing a total of 8 feedings. 10-22 The trellis is filling up!!! I added photosynthesis plus to the mix and some fulvic/humic acid. All the ladies are praying up.

I SOAKED THE SEEDS IN A CUP OF WATER, WITH A DASH OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, FOR 24 HRS. I THEN DUMPED THEM ON A PLATE BETWEEN PAPERTOWLS, AND ANOTHER PLATE(NOT TOO SOAKED-MAKE ROOM FOR AIR) UNDERNEATH I PLACED A HEATING PAD UNDER THE PLATE, FOR 24 HRS, TIIL THEY POP AND ROOT TAIL IS QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH FROM THERE I PLACED THEM IN PRE-SOAKED JIFFY PELLETS, AND PLACED THEM IN A GERMINATION KIT/WITH LID DOME. I DEFINETLY MESSED UP BY KEEPING THEM TOO MOIST. AND HAD TO TREAT THEM WITH A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE(3%)DELUTED WITH WATER, UNDER AND TOPPED. THEY ARE 10 DAYS NOW, I BEEN TRYNA HARDEN THEM OFF, PLAN ON TRASNFERING THEM TO THE SYSTEM. WISH ME LUCK

Growing steady

Can anyone help my lower leaves are turning yellow and drying up

Cada dos días las riego, 2 veces con los nutrientes después de activarlos 24 horas con una bomba de aire para acuario pequeña y una vez solo con agua con ph de 6.0

5 week Blooming

Day 28: Last night I had a real scare, I watered and by the end of the day she was drooping and looking very sick, there was no runoff at water so I feel I overwatered the little thing, thankfully this morning she has bounced back with great strength and this morning is looking healthier than ever! I'm noticing a few holes in leaves, a few spots on the leaves and a few very fine silk trails on the leaves, so I'm thinking she's got thrips 😣 next to impossible to get any pictures of the damage I'm talking about because I think I've caught the infection incredibly early, so today I'm picking up some Neem oil and I'll spray her completely at lights out , hopefully it is thrips and not spider mites because thrips this late in the grow wouldn't be too bad! If it's spidermites I'll be in a bit more trouble, thankfully flower has only JUST begun so I'm not so worried about a neem oil application at this time I'm going to let the soil dry out completely before watering again, I was dubious whether it was needed yesterday but the top inch was dry, I think I'll just wait until it's a couple of inches moving forwards Day 29: last night I drenched the leaves in diluted neem oil, I'm not seeing a lot of pest activity but there is some level, so since we're just starting to flower I decided now was the time just to blast anything that might be floating around, In ten days I'll do it again, maybe sooner if the buds are really getting going in that time Because of my overwatering scare the other day, I'm giving her another 24 hours to dry out deep into the pot, there's still a level of moisture in there and as of this morning the plant looks really healthy, really happy with how shes looking today, got 5 exposed tops which I believe will become the colas, 2 are the apex and on the same level and 3 lower ones are all on the same level. There are other potential Colas but they're hidden under the plant, I'll probable defoliate that side once the times right, unless they can break through in the next couple of days, which would be nice Day 29 update: (7 hours after lights on) opened the cabinet to find temps of 29 degrees c wasn't running extraction, soil is dry, but most importantly I noticed the top leaves praying for rain, I gave the soil a small amount (300ml) of distilled water and tap water , just to wet the soil enough to give another reason for the roots to spread through the pot, tomorrow I'll give another small water with feed and Humic acid just to top up her nutes and give her one last big hit of growth before she starts flowering properly, if we can trigger another growth spurt whilst she's still inbetween veg and flower, this is looking like a good first harvest! Day 29 Update (6 hours until lights off) following the water the plant has done her best to expose every inch of her leaves in light, she's bushier than ever and presumably getting ready to have a serious growth spurt, I watered around the far edge of the pot and let this pull through the soil, no run off because it was so little but, possibly a small feed of 1:1:1 tomorrow to top up nitrogen for any growth spurts planned ;) Day 29 Update (lights out) Today was an exceptional day for this girl, over the course of the day there's been some real developments! This evening she was foliar fed a mixture of 1:1:1 nutes and fulvic acid, a single drop in around 400ml of water, she should bounce back with an extra growth spurt with the extra nitrogen, on day 31 I will most likely be watering again with the same mixture to help push one last growth spurt before a flip to flower occurs and we move onto bloom nutes for the rest of the grow In 24 hours the fulvic acid should kick in and give one last growth spurt hopefully adding another node or two to the plant at the vest last moment, next photos i'm hoping will be a significant growth period if todays behaviour was anything to go by Day 31: Yesterday I squeezed in one last round of LST, the main stem cola was rising quite high above the rest of the canopy, I pulled that down out of the way and by the end of the day It had sorted itself out, I also spread out some of the other new cola sites to expose deeper into the plant to more light Yesterday I also watered with NPK 1:1:1 and Humic acid solution, as well as foliar fed with Bloom nutes and Humic acid again, this should help the plant through it's last growth spurt whilst allowing it to start creating flowers, today the soil will be left without water, possibly the next day too but I think it is ready for flowering to begin so I'm looking forwards to watering her with Bloom Nutes to get that process started well! Now that she's turning to flower i'm noticing the stems of each top are quite thin, I have a small fan on them constantly keeping them moving but I'm expecting to have to SCROG to provide all the support she needs, even if the stems thicken up in flower like I'm expecting, this will support the big buds I'm hoping for! Lot's a vertical growth starting the insides of the plant are starting to open up and there's very little leaf growth below the main canopy Day 31 - Whilst I watered yesterday with Nutes and Humic Acid, I'm spotting some very early signs of some flowering deficiencies, this isn't really a surprise as there has been hardly any nutrients added to the soil over the whole grow, so I've sprayed with the nutrient solution listed a move, the top of the soil was getting dry but not ready for a full water yet, just wet the topsoil through to help her transition to a higher quality nutrient, should start seeing some fairly decent growth from here on out! Day 32 - Today the soil was getting pretty dry, I diluted down my foliar feed mix a little and watered around 400ml of water with Humic, Fulvic, Bio Bloom and a few drops of 1:1:1, may have been a little too early but she's slightly showing some signs of deficiencies, foliar feeding has helped a little to keep these back but today I gave her the first feeding of specific bloom nutrients, should see her return to a healthy colour soon! She's starting to get quite tall as well, I think next few days we'll have some serious growth ongoing (as has become tradition) You can see from the images how her colour has gotten a bit lighter over the past few days, Foliar feeding has definitely slowed this and hopefully prepared her for a bigger dose of Nutrients, in 48 hours I'll be ready to water again this time with a heavier balance of nutes to really get things started for a healthy harvest Today or tomorrow she needs respraying with insecticides just to make sure nothing survived the early infestations and do ensure a pest free grow until the very end! Day 32 update: Today the flowers on what I expect will be the main 2 Colas have started forming, There's around 7 potential colas but 2 will be substantial if they're left long enough, hopefully tonight the nutrients kick in, but I'm considering another decent hit of nitrogen and bloom fert together, then water till flush, I think that will be 2-3 days off though, day 33: today she's looking all round healthier, the colours were good yesterday but today she's a much healthier shade of green for sure :D giving a decent feeding regime of flower nutes seems to have balanced her out nicely, I'm gonna leave watering today and let her dry out to give the roots another big push to grow, the other day I was digging down into the soil on the opposite side of the pot to the plant and found roots there, I'm really excited to see this girls root ball! Flowering is well on the way, HOPING for a Christmas harvest but I think it's going to be more new year when she's fully ready to be chopped, can't wait! I have pulled off 2 leaves today, they were starting to turn brown, I think the plant has cannibalised them, not because of a nutrient issue, because of a light issue, these leaves were completely shaded by the whole plant

Last feeding gave last wk ive just been given them rain water, and green tea 4 days ago just to give some antioxidants, i gave 1 and a half litres of plain cooled kettle water to each pot today, no more water now until harvest 4 days for Mimosa x Orange Punch to be harvested, and 8 to 10 days on the kush n cookies CBD, and on the Funky Skunk, i getting good results on every grow the last year and a half, im 💯grateful 🙏🍀 Biscotti mintz, and water mellon Zkittles from @Barney's Farm.com coming up in march 2023.
