After germination they stayed in the "green house" for the first week, but now under 20/4 light with 2 18W LED strips. With the lights on, temperature and humidity were in good ranges afaik. I installed a webcam above the plants that takes a picture every 30 min. which enabled me to create a (somewhat shaky) timelapse video (see above). They moved to the their (final) 4L fabric pots today, which are filled with a layer of clay balls and "potting and herbal soil" mixed with 10% fresh worm humus. From now on, lights are switched to 18/6 and I plan to continue watering with 10% worm composter liquid.

D64. We're at the start of the fifth week of flower, and today, the Purplematic moved out, and now the Gorilla girl is all alone in the tent. I also switched out her light from the big Kingbrite to the much smaller Viparspectra P600. I need the bigger light in my other tent, and even though the Viparspectra is a low-power light, I believe it should be enough, considering how small the Gorilla girl is. I could have put in one of the Greenception lights from my other tent, but it honestly was too much of a bother. ------------------------------ D66. Yesterday, I gave her 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5 with humic acid and calmag. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) for combatting the thrips in my photo tent arrived, and I also dispersed a few of them in this tent. I haven't seen any thrips damage on the Gorilla girl, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to be proactive. I also did minor defoliation to increase light penetration and air circulation. ------------------------------ D68. Not much to report besides that this is one STINKY girl. She stinks up the entire lungroom, and I have ordered a new carbon filter. Her senescence is slowly increasing, and I suspect she will be done soon-ish, although I haven't even looked at her trichomes yet. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fifth week of flower, and chop day is getting close. Her senescence is progressing nicely, and today, I checked her trichomes for the first time and already found quite a few amber ones. She is coming down in a few days, but it won't be a large harvest due to her stunting. However, she smells fantastic, so I'm counting on a great smoke. I went to WAR today against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

Auto Opium week 8 8/11-17 For my outside ladies, Opium, Auto Opium, Fractal, and Lemon Cake not much changed. They continue lovin life outside. These ladies are maturing as many fans are yellowing and falling off. Temps are comfortable following Storm Debbie., in the 80 with low humidity Auto Opium is thin and spindly, branches continue to bend so I added hoop supports. I sure hope she makes it to the end in one piece. If necessary, I remove the colas and chuck into the freezer.. Buds are fattening up, trichomes are minimal at this time but some fragrance is starting to be noticed. Thank you @DivineSeeds Thanks for the visits, likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending you good vibes of love, light, and healing 💫 💫Natrona 💫

Our Calmag arrived on day 28. All the ladies were immediately cast. On day 30, the plants looked better, but were still lacking. We therefore applied a foliar fertilizer which hopefully helped as an immediate solution.

3/13/2024 - Day 15 Flower: Ran into some issues after the last watering. The newest leaves have some severe curling going on, and I've had a few leaves with some minor brown spotting. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but narrowed it down to either TeaCo Super Tea, Recharge, or the foliar spray I did with Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I did the foliar at lights out, but maybe there was still some residue when the light came back on. Either way, I'm taking it easy on this watering. Gave them 4 gallons of 6.5 ph water mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Coconut Powder, and a half dose of Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Yah-Whey. The curling does not seem ro be getting worse, so hopefully they will grow out of this. Also, they have started to slow on rhe stretching, which is good, because they are getting close to the light. 3/14/2023 - Day 16 Flower: So I've been looking at some of the more deformed leaves and I'm pretty sure the leaf curl and brown is from the Dr. Zymes. The leaves with issues appear to have a slight glossy residue to them. I'm guessing when the Dr. Zymes dried on the leaves, it had a reaction when the light came back on. Now that I'm into week 3 of flower, I plan to cut out any foliar sprays, so hopefully I'm right an the issue won't get worse. I had some seeds that I sprouted and forgot to use yesterday, so I made a 2 gallon Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) and added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and a half dose of Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. 3/16/2023 - Day 18 Flower: plants are looking good. Flowers are starting to develop and I'm already seeing the beginning of some tricomes. Stretch appears to be just about done, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. The curling from last week has not gotten any worse. 3/17/2023 - Day 19 Flower: watered about 6 gallons of worm tea I brewed for about 24 hours. Added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, BuildASoil BuildABloom, and Rootwise Bio-Catalyst. Also, did some minor defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking lower bud sights. Still need to do more, but I plan to spread it out over a few days. 3/18/2023 - Day 20 Flower: Cleaned them all up real good. Took off all the large fan leaves, except for the top two, and cut off basically anything on the lower half of the plant. May have gone a little higher than I would have liked, now that I'm seeing it done, but too late now. Normally, i only like to take off about 1/3, but i guess we will see what happens when the bottom half is stripped. Always learning around here, haha. Hopefully I should have very little popcorn buds.

Ph was way too low the last 2 weeks but ignored it, since super soil. A few plants are very not happy about it So I drained the reservoire and cleaned everything out and PH'd the water to 6.8 with some sodium bicarbonate 🤞

Another great week, saw some great bud production and stacking. All great signs of a good yield. Increased the bloom nutrients to accommodate the plants demands during this intense growth spurt, while making sure they are balanced with a straight phd water feed to help break up any deposits that may be accumulating. When I use just water, I’ll water until I see about a 15% runoff, and test the ph of the runoff, should be within your 5.8-6.3 range. I’ve got lots of airflow keeping things moving to help prevent PM and pests. After every feed, I’ll spray a mixture of water, a drop or two of dish soap, and some type of essential oil, around the base of the pots and tent basin as part of my pest management/protection. I have yet to have any type of pests, despite growing in an unfinished basement situation. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️👊

Day 29 - The lady that I accidentally topped seems to be responding well, her top two nodes are really stretching out and looking good. Still only have one lady clearly showing white hairs at the nodes, but the other lady looks like shes about to pop. I also defoliated them a bit to allow for better light penetration. Day 30 - Did another round of light defoliation and rearranged the LST on both ladies. Still haven't noticed any white hairs on one lady. Day 31 - Rearranged my equipment setup inside the grow tent. Still no white hairs on one lady. Day 33 - More light defoliation and LST on both ladies. Starting to notice some white hairs on the lady yet to begin showing hairs. Both ladies are now in flower.

Green Goblin had a bit of a rough start – unfortunately, one of the main stems snapped. 😕 Because of that, she’s grown a little wild and uneven. But overall, she’s doing well! 🌱 Her growth is slightly slower than the others, but she’s definitely holding her own. 🇺🇲 WEEK 7 -------------------------- 🔧 This week included: Lots of LST training Defoliation to improve light penetration Only watered with plain water, no pH adjustment strictly following the BioTabs schedule 💨 The smell is starting to develop nicely very promising! 💡 I’m planning to switch to 12/12 next week and send her into flowering as well. Curious to see how she performs in the next phase! 🌸🕛 🇩🇪 Woche 7 ------------------------- Die Green Goblin hatte es nicht ganz so leicht einer der Hauptriebe ist leider abgebrochen. 😕 Dadurch ist die Pflanze etwas ungleich und wild gewachsen. Trotzdem macht sie sich gut! 🌱 Das Wachstum ist minimal langsamer als bei den anderen, aber im Gesamtbild steht sie ihnen in nichts nach. 🔧 Diese Woche wurde einiges gemacht: Viel LST-Training Entlaubung zur besseren Lichtverteilung Nur mit Wasser gegossen – ganz ohne Anpassung, streng nach dem BioTabs-Schema 💨 Der Geruch entwickelt sich ebenfalls sehr gut vielversprechend! 💡 Auch bei ihr werde ich voraussichtlich nächste Woche auf 12/12 umstellen und damit die Blüte einleiten. Bin gespannt, wie sie sich in der nächsten Phase schlägt! 🌸🕛

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

It’s awesome it likes to be away from the light the one that was off to the side far out performed the one that was directly beneath. Both are nice though and have the same smell, taste and bud structure. After proper drying and curing it honestly can’t be beaten. Fantastic aroma and flavour and a really good strong stone. Calming, relaxing and meditative.😍😍😍😍😍😍

The plant is now absolutely in the final phase. The trichomes already look very good under the microscope. We expect to harvest at the weekend. The purple discoloration looks absolutely beautiful :)
