Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th) (Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. I鈥檓 seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like it鈥檚 been ravaged by pests but I still can鈥檛 find any evidence or signs of a pest. I鈥檓 suspecting caterpillars so I鈥檓 going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time. The clones are all really lagging so they won鈥檛 be flipped until July 15th at least. I鈥檓 still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. It鈥檚 still quite gnarled and twisted. (Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. I鈥檓 going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have. (Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even. (Day 54) I鈥檓 going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. I鈥檓 first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots. I will be amending with: 5 tablespoons of nature鈥檚 pride bloom 4 tablespoons of kelp meal 2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP 2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust 2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 1 tablespoon of rock dust blend 1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite (Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if they鈥檙e stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I don鈥檛 see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I don鈥檛 think they鈥檝e officially started flowering yet I didn鈥檛 get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

Cream Brulee Auto was my pleasure to grow, I definitely will grow this one again! The weed is nearly finished by the time I write this, one of the strains which is gone very fast.. 馃槏 I didn't have to do any LST nor much defoliation, next time I would feed her a bit more, but that's was pretty much a smooth grow with the Cream Brulee girl! 馃嵁 She grew all by her own, to be a beautiful queen! 馃憫 Thank you, Hypno Seeds, this is amazing work!! 馃檹 馃挌 Thank you, GD community! 馃挌馃挌馃挌 It's an honor to grow together with you!! 馃挌馃挌馃挌馃挌馃挌馃挌馃挌

Things are still picking up. I've almost got my light at it's maximum height and she keeps pushing taller. Two different phenos from what I popped. One is shorter and is really stacking on bud sights and starting to frost up. The other is trying to push almost a foot taller and seems to be about a week behind the other plant in terms of bud development. Did some defoliation a few days ago and cleaned up lower bud sites that were not going to reach the canopy.

Day 63 Fiona handled the defoliation really well so I LSTd her one (last?) time. I think the intense stretching is over and from now on all that will grow are her many (!) flower sites 馃尭 First pistels showing and you can already smell her. Day 66 Fed her 2l with half the recommended dose of nutes. She is so happy with life right now, she started praying 馃檹馃槏 She is not growing in size anymore so the daily LST sessions are over. Day 67 Just when I thought Fiona couldn鈥榯 make me any prouder, I found a calyx that seems to indicate she is going to develop the red/purple optics promised for 60% of the strain鈥榮 plants 馃

12 days to full transplantable roots. Right on schedule as expected. Moved 6 of the 12 clones (1 per plant) into a new 45L Rez that I cobbled together in an evening. Just small enough to fit into the cabinet. Hopefully the roots don鈥檛 choke each other out for territory while we work to reveg, re-flower and ultimately seed em all for the new F3 line. We鈥檒l pick the best buds from the lot for the next testing run once we see what the pheno variation looks like from the main run in the tent. It鈥檚 a process and annoyance not to be yielding bud off a grow cycle but it is what it is if you want your own signature stuff. Alls good for now. Let鈥檚 just hope that the 6 coats of paint I threw on the lid is enough to keep out the grow light penetration馃. Shoulda used black, whatever.

No se c贸mo expresar mi felicidad despu茅s de casi 3 a帽os sin poder cultivar consecutivamente he podido cosechar esta belleza gracias a @blacktunaco por la K.O una gen茅tica llena de resina con flores compactas. Cometiendo errores desde el principio se pudo obtener una excelente planta corrigiendo todo para as铆 mejorar el aprendizaje continuo. Se dieron 12 d铆as de lavado de ra铆z y 3 de estos estuvo expuesto a lluvia constante durante los 3 d铆as por tal raz贸n se decidi贸 cosechar para evitar da帽ar las flores

Day 50 - Tuesday 4/12/18 - Today is my birthday I鈥檓 47 , yeah great , as with all ladies dramas always lead onto further dramas , last night the power tripped again , and was off for 5 hrs , I opened up to see this ,FUCK , there was no water in the reservoir and she didn鈥檛 look great , my first thought was there must be a leak , but on further examination it became clear I forgot to plug the air pump s back on . I鈥檓 not sure if she will pull through , I fking hope she does , it shows you how quick things go Pete Tong in DwC , please all give me hopes and likes , because 1 like = 1 prayer .lol fingers crossed 馃 I should add - first thing I did was add plain water , then after 30 mins I refilled the reservoir with fresh solution So upon further investigation I found an air pump which had failed , subsequently the water sucked back and probably shorted in the night . Day 51 - Wednesday - doesn鈥檛 look that great 馃槱 bottom is still lifeless , I sang I will survive to her , gave her a misting ,told her I鈥檇 buy her a Gucci handbag if she made it ,topped up with 1/2 litre of water It鈥檚 touch and go here , it might look like it鈥檚 getting better but the leaves are yellowing quite drastically.. these next few days are critical Day 52 - Thursday - she is not drinking or feeding much at all , I think I will have to remove some of the damaged sides ,leaves continue to yellow , this was a major trauma for her Day 53 - Friday , I decided to take off the branches that haven鈥檛 recovered , she isn鈥檛 eating or drinking which is a worry , the Tangie and the gorilla look better. Day 54 - Saturday - she looks like she might be improving , I showed the Tuesday picture to a fellow grower and he said that looks dead , if she can recover that will be a miracle ....... she had drunk about 500ml of water in the last 3 days , that鈥檚 why I鈥檓 so worried 馃槦 Day 55 - Sunday - I promise you all this is happening real-time , today is Sunday 9/12/18 , what is becoming apparent, this plant was so stressed , I mean we are talking catching you in bed with her sister stressed , I have reassured her this was the only time it鈥檚 going to happen , and she might just be showing some signs of recovery , I added 500 ml of water ,2ml A+B Day 56 - Monday - Tangie and Gorilla are back eating and drinking , Lemon i think is recovering, she had not drunk a lot , maybe 500 ml but I think is looking healthier, also a weird double Bud has appeared .

Good week same as last time couple more tears, some more major then others. But the original first snap seems to be healed so im confident with tapping they would heal fast. Going to be cutting for clones because i want to flip into flower ASAP going ti transplant into 5gallon first. Also ordering a new LED. Amazon led did okay for the budget but its time to see what i can really do! Very excited 馃

Hello everyone 馃槆 馃槆 馃槆 Finally, the last week and the harvest time come. On Day 105 and Day 107 I flush her with tap water treated with Ecothrive Neutralise. I was planning a harvest on Friday but accidentally initiated it on Thursday, how ?? I wanted to remove the fan leaves, when I began to pull off the wires supporting the branches, the branches began to break... So I came to an unplanned harvest the day before I planned to do it. 馃檶 !! BUT !! 馃檶 This one day does not really make a difference, so the fact of the branches start breaking under the weight of the buds made me pretty happy 馃檹 馃檹 馃檹 Thanks to everyone for the comments, likes and interest. Soon another stage of my adventures, this time starring: Think Fast and most likely Auto Banana Blaze of course from Dutch Passion. Have a nice and quiet Sunday, You Lovely Girls Growers 馃挭 馃挭 馃挭
