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.

The grow I planned was going to be ready in January but this may stretch to March at the latest. So far I'm impressed, and everything is going great.

DAY 56 Since flip: well all of these ladies have come past the official harvest dates mow of max 56 days. I am happy to say it is because they all want to continue swelling and pushing new pistils to show off their prowess. FFT#1 Is starting to brown off nicely all over and will need a loupe soon to determine how close she is to her sweet spot . She smells so much of pineapples now that I think she has to be on that track for her true identity. Nice solid buds , not the biggest but a few around so shouldn't be too shabby on her yield. FFT#5 Is racing with #7 to the best sized buds I think. She has a couple that are certainly the 2 mains picked to quad from but even the secondary challengers are nice and fat and verybfrity sweet. They are developing a lot of new tricks too and could go another week at least. FFT#7 Is the heaviest bidder of the whole grow so far. She continues to swell and push plenty of new fresh pistil sets out at a fair pace. Her lower down growth is showing through the canopy all over and does her genetics very proud. She is my favourite of the for growth but #5 is doing amazing too. Let's see what next week brings to the game shall we. Be sane growmies.

Week 4 flower 4x4 #1 | Scat Queen, Oreoz, (2) Cookies and cream | Hitting a final defoliation to transfer photosynthesis into bud sights as we transition from heavy pistil to calyx + Week 1 flower 4x4 #2 | Scat Queen & GYAT | Daily check ins with defoliation & canopy shaping during this stretch phase Each pheno has been growing different of both Scat Queen and GYAT, I Have a finicky plant of GYAT in the back left #2 4x4.. I'm not gonna stress or sleep on this plant either.. It's reminding me of a slurricane pheno I grew and turned out to be potent with a good unique terpene expression. JUST GOTTA BE PATIENT AND STEADY, KEEP ROCKIN GROWMIES 😎

Fattening the buds and making them grow. Nice smell. Buds are heavy causing the branches to fall, losing strength, I'm having to tie them up. Very fat.

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

well, another week and just watering as needed, it should have yielded a lot more this strain is also not known from a local seed bank but no problem. I think the temperature, because I spent most of it being very hot, didn't let them grow, well, but I'm already starting another cycle and soon I'll start posting more here in another grow =D

Day 85. Just before lights photo's for better true colour understanding, Bio Grow and AlgaMic is out, after finishing this cycle CalMag and Silica out too. Hope its not too early, but girls are really healthy, time to pump up the flowers not leaves :) Day 86. Girls just flying, very happy with Gorillas and Control Garden looks really funky, they stand under no direct light on them... and still flowers looks amazing. Got my new mobile, had to try out :) Next week very busy at work, no updates I think. Day 89. So again i made mistake, while watering them last time accidently left heater on, they overdried , plus temps where at +33c ... Bunny Gorilla looks bad, Gorilla Max got biggest pistil damage, half went brown. Thinking i took nitrogen too early out, but we shall see. On other hand all Control Garden took it well even Cookies with theirs waxy leaves stood thurst nice as such stress can be ... Planing to do defoliation next week, but if Gorillas started to eat themselves already will leave them as it is. Future will show .. Happy Growing !!!

5/29 plants are healthy. 6/2 they've definitely been stretching this week. Pistils have shown and the calyx of plant #2 are already showing definite purple. Its obvious even with how little of it showing. #2 was the first to show sex and progression of transitioning. Plant #1 has shown sex but only on half of her node? Plant #3 is still the tallest, with the most stretching happening. She's a lighter green than the rest and she hasn't quit shown a full pistil yet

Growing is a learning process, sadly the Milky Way F1 didn't survive. And the seedlings rotted. But all my other babies are healthy and doing well. Today is our first day in seedlings stages and into vegetation. Let's go. 14.12 The girls are looking great specially the Pineapple Express she seems like she is going to be a big girl. Still watering them lightly two times a day. 15.12 They are doing well, especially the Pineapple Express

patience .... she has a mint smell on her stem and smells of forest too ... she is taking shape with her buds ... she looks great outdoors ... she continues with her natural fertilizers .... every 10 to 15 days and these are their results ... I am struggling with some worms in the leaves of my plants but I am dedicated to finding one by one the worms ...

Hallo zusammen, wie gestern angesprochen ist es nun so weit. Die Green Gelato´s und ihre nebst Gefährtin Secret Source, haben ihr Lebensziel erreicht und wurden kopfüber in 2 separaten Zelten aufgehängt. Es wurde schon sehr eng in dem 80er Zelt, wo die drei Gelato´s verblieben sind. Wir haben auch beide Zelte miteinander mit der Luftzufuhr verbunden, so das wir beide Zelte jetzt mit einem 100er Abluftventilator betreiben. Der Abluftschlauch liegt im Fenster- Kit, was noch von dem Klimagerät vorinstalliert war und wird nach außen abgeführt. Die ideale Trocknungstemparatur (höchstens 18° Grad Celsius) bekommen wir aufgrund des Sommers leider nicht ganz gewährleistet. Aber auch positiv, wir sind keine 10° Grad Celsius drüber^^ Zur relativen Raumfeuchte: Wir fahren im Moment mit ca. 66- 68 % was trotz momentanen Regen nicht schlecht ist zum Anfang. Ein wildes Tagebuch mit einigen Tiefen Aber uns das ist uns das wichtigste, mit einem positiven Ende trotz allem :-) Wir hoffen, dass wir auch mit negativen Momenten den ein oder anderen ggf. vielleicht bei seinen nächsten ähnlichen Erfahrungen eher helfen können bzw. etwas mitnehmen konnten. Auch wir, haben in diesem Lauf wieder vieles gelernt, festigen und oder verbessern können. Einige Stellschrauben werden wir demnächst eher stellen, anders Einstellen. Es hört nie auf und das, dass ist glaube ich das Leidenschaftlich phänomenale für uns auf dieser Ebene :-) Ansonsten viel Spaß mit einigen Fotos und Video! Ein herzliches Danke schön auch an alle großartigen Growmies, die stets mit Rat und oder auch guten Zusprüchen wie Komplimenten uns zur Seite standen! Auch ihr habt uns sehr animiert ;-) Eigentlich sind wir schon etwas müde, dennoch müssen dieses Jahr noch Restanten und aufgearbeitetes auf ihrem Weg begleitet werden. Da mir (männlich) im Herbst ca. auch wieder eine größere OP bevor steht, wird das dann für dieses Jahr auch mal der letzte Lauf sein. Auch den Garten werden wir in Zukunft aufgrund dessen erstmal sein lassen. Smoke Report wird noch folgen, die Buds sehen wieder schön fest aus und zeigen ein starkes Terpenen Profil. Wir hoffen sehr, dass es auch so mundet wie es doch final aussieht. Vielen Dank an alle Growmies die unsere Updates verfolgen, liken und oder auch Kommentieren. Wir wünschen allen ein angenehmen terpigen Sonntag und viel Erfolg für die kommende Woche! VG euer Team Roots
