Somango XL//OG Double Bubble /Cheese

Weedflakes The seeds sprouted about 30 days ago. All 3 seeds were sourced from Zamnesia. Since germination, they've been under the UFO No Name 90 Watt from my buddy. I topped the ladies about two weeks ago and also repotted them that same week from 7L to 11L pots. I've been feeding the plants since the 2nd node with BioBizz and a bit of Hesi superfit. At first, I was using 50% of the recommended dosage, but now I'm giving them the full dose. I've been watering about every 3 days with 2L split among the 3 ladies for the past 1.5 weeks. I started LST a few days ago because I want them to be a bit sturdier and bushier, and I'm worried about space. I’ll probably send the ladies into flowering this week in an 80x80x100 tent. Initially under a UFO for flowering and the last few weeks under a 400-watt HPS. This is my first grow on my own, and I’d be open to tips and tricks. The ladies look very healthy, but the cheese isn’t growing quite as fast. I thought it might be because I have a relatively indica-dominant pheno. Cheers, Weedflake

Weedflakes I let the ladies stay in the dark for 24 hours And this morning the Red UFO 90W turned on and shines daily for 12 hours I will now fertilize with Vegi fertilizer for another 2 weeks and slowly switch to bloom fertilizer, sticking to the Biobizz schedule I will do some LST and trim a bit down below, the ladies will handle it well over the days, but I will also read a bit more about LST I'm worried that I might have problems with humidity during flowering, especially in the 60x60 box, so I will also move them to the bigger space in the next two weeks and probably start the next run. I would really appreciate seed recommendations I also wanted to get a Mars Hydro Ts 1000, maybe someone has a tip on that I especially want to work with LED because they seem safer and more relaxing to me than an HPS with a ballast. I also want good yields because I really enjoy gardening, I feel like it suits me, and I really don’t want to buy weed on the street anymore; it’s really expensive in the long run and eats up my time Happy new blooms and a pleasant high Cheers, Flaky

Weedflakes First flowering week survived. The ladies look pretty good and are growing, the LST has really helped keep them all at the same height, especially with the Somango XL which has a good stretch, it's really nice to see how the lower shoots are coming along. Additionally, I've defoliated the plants in the last few days, removing the hand-sized leaves that grow towards the center of the plants, hoping that more light reaches the bottom. It seems to be working really well, the ladies have handled it well, I will probably defoliate again just before the flowering starts and maybe apply the lollipop method, hoping that this will help the plant invest its energy in the right end, forming nice thick buds and allowing better air circulation around the plants, as I still have too high humidity in the box (70%+). I've turned up the heater in the room to generate more heat, which should draw some moisture out of the air. (Grow box temp. 19-25C) I estimate and hope that once I move the plants into the 80x80 box with the carbon filter, I will have fewer problems with humidity due to more space and better air exchange. The plants in the box: Front Left: OG Double Bubble Front Right: Cheese Back: Somango XL I'm looking for strains for the next run, I just want to supply myself with my own stash, as this would be really good for my psyche and my wallet, and I feel it's my right to be free high. The Runtz from Zamnesia is appealing to me. I’ve also thought about going back to the roots and getting a skunk since that was my first run with a buddy years ago and the strain and the high from that plant were really awesome. But with the huge selection of seeds, I'm really having a hard time deciding. Also, whether I should always grow 4 plants in parallel, so one veg box and one flowering box, or 8 plants in parallel. Maybe also some mothers and then just focus on cuttings and SOG. My consumption is really high, although compared to others it might still be low, but 3-8 grams a week is definitely in there, so that's about 360 grams a year that I would definitely like to have, and if I can also supply my loved ones with free weed, I think I’d be one of the happiest people. Cheers, Flaky

Weedflakes The ladies are now in the big box and enjoying the space. Next time, I’ll definitely raise them more to speed up the passage. They were slightly defoliated. And I’m currently fertilizing with the flowering fertilizer from BioBizz according to the schedule; I’ll probably be able to stop fertilizing in two weeks and slowly start the flushing. I’ve now decided to finish the grow with the UFO as a little test to see what comes out. Cheers, Flaky

Weedflakes The ladies are growing, but the Cheese isn't really doing much, they aren't showing any signs of deficiency or over-fertilization. I've optimized the setup a bit and hung a Mars Hydro ts 1000 in the tent, it's now running at 100% for the last week of the flowering phase. In a week and a half, I'll stop watering. Unfortunately, I'm still having a problem with the humidity, so I'm going to get a second fan and have them blow air at each other, hoping this will lower it a bit. As for the ladies, the Somango XL is growing nicely in height, I'm really having trouble keeping it at the same height as the other plants. Cheers, Flaky

Weedflakes The ladies are growing beautifully in my eyes, the flowering stretch has eased off, and the buds are slowly but surely forming and looking very nice. I noticed that the ladies are developing red leaf stems and one leaf on the Somango is turning yellow, so I suspected a nutrient deficiency; probably the pH level was too low, so I increased the nutrient supply and now hope that the problem will resolve itself. If it doesn't, I will help out with mineral Hesi fertilizer and add a little pK. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks. Unfortunately, the age of the ladies in the post is a bit incorrect. They are in the 4th week of flowering, and I will probably be able to harvest at the end of February. Cheers, Flaky

Weedflakes The ladies are blooming wonderfully, The cheese isn't doing so well. Maybe it will catch up, there are still about 4 weeks until flowering. After I fixed the nutrient deficiency, I'm now seeing slight signs of over-fertilization, so I'm trying to let the ladies get thirsty and only watering them until it clears up. The next run will start soon With 2x Wedding Cake, 2x Cheese, and another strain that I still need to choose. You can leave me some recommendations! Cheers, flaky
