Day 79: Second Grow We've decided against using additional nutrients and have completely stopped fertilizing. The light cycle has been reduced to 11 hours, and we're already starting to give them cooler water. Starting Monday, I will be watering with ice water to stress the plants further, aiming for higher yield, more terpenes, and increased frost. The adjustment to the light cycle should also help the plants ripen evenly. The lights are hanging about 20 cm above the buds, which are getting thicker every day, soaking up the light intensely. In about a week, most of the plants should be ready for harvest. We plan to stop watering them for about 100 hours before harvest. During this period, I'll place ice cubes on the soil to shock the roots one last time. 48 hours before harvest, I will turn off the lights, giving the plants two days of darkness. After this period, the plants will be cut and hung to dry.

Besides a slight nutrient burn her growth Is still explosive...her side branches are spreading nicely so I will not be topping her. However, I will be crossing her with some Afghan once the flowering begins.

New light installed, twice as powerful as before but still a cheap light I've yet to learn fully Like the first batch of seeds to germinate, I again get a strange 'quad' seedling, 4 embryo leaves, then attempts to grow it's first 4 leaves instead of 2 also, growth is severely stunted in both seedlings to start with 4 embryo leaves after seed popped

Day 122 since seed touched soil. Girl is on final stretch, took all nutes out last watering. Today gave 6.3 phed water for last time, maybe if few other girls will show signs of bulking, ill do one more watering. Last week installed dehumidifier, so all environment is way better. Fat girl, created nice colas and still bulking ... Happy Growing !!!

Day 78 - these gnarly buds are so dense! a. will be using Ripen blend now b. going the distance with this lady, there are many little solid calyx like buds all over the place c. still about 20+ days to go d. the smell is INTENSE, the resin production is incredible Day 79 - she loves Ripen a. buds grew everywhere b. will be getting 2 full weeks of ripen, then flush with FloraKleen e. changed to an 18/6 light schedule to generate even more resin Day 80 - swelling a. all the little buds are swelling up b. the top buds are gnarly as hell on this plant, the smell though is so intense Day 81 - buds are still growing a. growth occurring all over the place b. like Dinafem says, the buds will become too heavy for the branches and you MUST tie them up, they will bubble out and grow like crazy c. I captured some video of the sativa calyx jungle today d. this plant LOVES GHE Ripen! Day 82 - explosions everywhere a. the calyx like buds are exploding all over the place Day 83 - smells great a. love this classic haze smell! Day 84 - this plant is a MUTANT MONSTER!

I can’t say enough about my love for this strain. Stunning looks, irresistible smell, and incredible smoke. I can’t wait to taste her she smells just like my first blackberry. That earthy sweet berry yankee candle type of smell. I’m addicted to growing her. My favorite strain to this day. Everything is going smoothly as she is fattening up. I’m gonna begin the slow fade on her and won’t be giving her much nutrients unless I think they’d be affective.

So we are still recovering from light stress. The stress is leaving as shown in the new growth on the top. Some might say this is nitrogen burn.but it cannot be as it's organic, micro dosed alaska fish emulsion. This is my first rodeo as I've been gardening for 20 years now. The only thing new to me is the LED lights. Hopefully those two phenos turn out to be male. Because I just don't see them being very vigorous for the duration of the grow.

So my 5 plants have been split up. My first two chopped are now curing up. Preparing to chop the rest. Smells like nothing or gassy. Don’t overshock your plants people! 7 days of drying and stems were snapping. 3 in the pink isn’t quite ready yet.

Looks like she might be starting to Flower only been 5 days

So these girls are shorter than expected allthough the 2 girls are of decent height enough for me too flip along side my aptus fed girls. I have defoliate all areas that covers light getting too the lowers and also removed excess branching too focus energy towards the main tops also did this via a little lst 🌱 One of each plus an extra 412 so hopefully they stick through and make it too harvest which they look too be healthy so far. I will next defoliate on week 3 of flower and also remove excess plant matter taking up neccasary energy 🌱 Shogun is serving them well so fa! Lights will be 12/12 tonight Week 1 flower commences then Stay blessed 💚

Beginning of week 10(Bloom): Not much to mention this week. The fade is starting to show more. Really looking forward to harvesting this. Doing my research now on what I need to do for a successful harvest. Added in a family photo😀

Day 86 - Major training session on both ladies today. Things were getting too crowded with 4 photos (80+ days veg) and 2 autoflowers that both seem to have around a month left in them. Topped all upper branches and stripped most of the undergrowth, leaving only 2-3 nodes on every branch. Took me over an hour to do all four plants but in the end tings look much better in the tent. Now onto a hopefully short recovery on all plants. Day 89 - Both ladies are recovering from last training session. New growth is all lush and green. Very happy with both phenos of the Strawberry Chemdawg OG that I got. Remembering that I still got another bean makes me even happier!

So at the start of week 3 I began to LST CM#3 to just experiment basically and topped CM#2 I believe. Again, just to experiment. This is my first grow and I was stunned with the reactions to both! The new growth after topping was about 1/4” in about 12hrs.. Crazy to me and the lst is proving to expose these bud sites and encourage amazing growth QUICK!! I’ll continue to train daily. One of the videos show the topped CM just yesterday. In 4 days, it’s grown soo much! Also, a video mentions the gender reveal but since then, all 4 have officially revealed themselves as female at the 22 day mark.

The girls are growing beautifully! 🌱 I’ve decided to leave them completely untouched this run — no LST, no topping, nothing. Just letting them do their thing naturally. They seem to be loving the conditions and are responding with healthy, vigorous growth. Sometimes less is more! 😉

5.01.23 Thursday Day 81 Well first things first, happy new year and apologies for minimal updates in December. Switched to 12 12 on Monday and scrogging it out this time round. The Runtz, seem to grow more than the cookies during veg and take up more nitrogen than then for sure, they're green as fuck. One of them (top left) has to be there greenest green I've ever seen on any plant ever. Hopefully they're gonna stretch nicely, I may have to remove some more lowers in a couple of weeks.

All the plants will be in the generative 3 phase of flower this week. I've updated the nutrients section for the week to show what the are being fed. I'm still feeding 3 gallons per plant daily. The number 3 plant is a few days behind the other two so it will get the Generative 2 feed, in the nutrients section for week 12, a few days this week.The two short plants have slowed their feeding way down on day 3 this week. The organic nutrients have a tendency to build up in the soil. Day 3 the two short plants got tap water. I'll wait til some of the leaves lighten up before I feed again. Day 4 the two short plants got fed. They didn't seem to be hurting for nutes but the leaves appeared to be losing color and the buds are still filling out. I had been feeding everyday until day 3. Day 5 and 6 the short plants got tap water and the tall one got the nutrients formula. Day 7 this week, the tallest and one of the short plants were fed the listed nutrient formula. There was no change in height this week. The tallest is 87.5 inches the two shorter ones 62 inches. I believe the two shorter plants will enter generative phase four/ripening next week. They are getting super frosty.

This week I started feeding my plant with an ec between 0.6-0.8. I also lowered my lamp so they get more light and I topped the plants and started lst.

Everything is going well. It has been on a 18-6 light cycle for one week. I may have slowed it down by a couple of days by over watering one week ago. I haven't watered since. I gave it some time outside today as I don't have a fan yet for by veg set-up.
