day 7 Flowering: Hi all . It has been the start of their flowering this week and the initial stages of their stretch period. Time to exploit the burst of growth and set them in position for full light absorbing relaxation. The less stress to get light , the more focus on creating the beauty in flowering hopefully. I took some time to do a clear out of the small scrappy growth low down the stems to focus on the happy growing bud sites higher up. With their shape and size , the flowers would have been within the ball shapes and unable to develop properly. The shape of the plants from the tip spreading is very helpful now. I am able to tuck the really big powerhouse fans , underneath the developing lowers. This supports the lower growth to head higher but also keeps the main stem powered by the very important big fans. As these are autoflowers and able to use the available light through the huge fans , it can only be beneficial to keep them as long as possible while they are not blocking anything. The difference between the strains is noticable more now with the Strawberry Pie wanting to spread her branching more . Tip spreading has kept them smaller but their nature still has them wanting the long node lengths and cluster bud structures as opposed to long donkey di#ks. The other strains have benefited more from it and in particular, the #2 Six Shooter has an amazing amount of hopeful mains all fighting for focus so should be a good example of how tip spreading really works to create productive , squat beasts. Fingers crossed.lol They are still being fed just water with no additional boosts beside the last top dressings. I will be watering again with the biosys tea but they look so happy and green that I wont be adding any other products unless I notice a need. Cal.mag being the exception as I want to avoid the expected deficits from using l.e.d , before it can slow anything down in repair/recovery. The light is covering them all perfectly and with the height still to be lowered after the stretch is done , I know from previous Mars lights, the big solid nugs will appear.... I have used a video to show the past weeks growth rather than the usual pics and hope this will be more interesting than having to scroll pics. I also noticed a few leaf miners among the other plants and suspect we have some migration here too. Not too serious as yet but before it gets too bad , I used a store bought spray ( organic) to hopefully get to grips before they do. Failing this , a good smoke bomb might be used. Until the next time , be well and loved.

Ad for the Strawberry Pie say an 8-9 weeks seed to harvest but at 4 weeks already and the flowering period to go through , I think we will be a little longer than that in total. Never be disappointed they dont rush to finish but be assured the genetics are worth the wait.

Hey brother. Congrats on the Mars light, looks like the dogs bollox that one! Love the set up too, soil beds look great! Where did you get the beds/tubs from mate? Wish you luck with this one, I reckon this will be another amazing diary from you. Peace 😎✌️

Ganjagrandaddy
@UKPersonal420,Thank you UK. The beds are in my old nft tanks. Tops took off and used them as I know they dont leak at least. Lol . They have been well used in the past for hydro but been sat a while so seemed ideal to use. Well happy about the light too. Will be a great addition and create some nice bud porn too hopefully. Lol Been busy with the clippers on the other grow too and done a defol update to show how I am too scared to do a full brutal one. Heehee be well.mate

@UKPersonal420,it isna decent size but not airtight sadly. Trying to find tents for our awkward lofts is an endeavour for sure . I have a great tent ready to use but cant build it in due to slope of roof. I bought a cheap 2mx2m years ago and fitted it without the poles and stapled it to the roof beams as it went from the floor upwards. Gave me a good , clean 2.5m.x.25 m total with the zipper panel from the front still used as an entrance . Was a cut and splice but fabric tape and mylar/big carboard boxes opened out as panels too , helped make the initial boxed out look ready for a tent tobbe stapled to it all and the roof beams. I use a anti f.l.i.r film below the roof tiles 1st , then that cheap 2 way silver bubble wrap insulation as an outer skin then the cardboard to make the boxed space. Was a really cheap way of making sure the heat is deflected from the grow space in summer and also helps keep the heat inside the tent for winter too. The cut up tent finally finished the interior with panels and was simple to keep tight as it went upward from the built in floor design of most tents. Gave a good footprint to build up from and once I hit the apex of the roof, the fabric allows you to keep it tight until you hit the peak , trim off the excess and plenty of silver tape later . A double skinned growspace for a very minimal cost that fits into our awkward UK attics. Lol with no lights in or grow equipment, it looks like good , dust free storage space on a budget too. ! Nothing to see here just dry storage in a damp attic .lol

@Godesskat,with you all the way mate. We are built with cannabanoid systems in mind too. All those receptors in our brains specifically for it. Hence the demonising and promotion of destructive behaviours in industries that keep the masses subdued. We the free know the score. Lol . be well
