Week 4: Unveiling the Growth Chronicles
Embarking on this week's enthralling saga, Golden witnessed a myriad of unfolding events: a dance of nutrient uptake, the artistry of low and high-stress training, daring topping endeavors, and a daring relocation with a hint of sunlight-induced concern.
After the Green House Bio Powder Feeding feast last week, the ladies now flaunt dark, luscious green hues, casting aside any remnants of nitrogen deficiency. A consistent pH of 6/6.2 became the new watering standard, ensuring the ladies thrive in harmony.
In their upgraded 100L/25 Gallon pots, all the ladies gracefully settled, with Pineapple Chunk #4 staging a triumphant comeback.
#2, reaching for the sky, faced the skilled hands of Golden employing not only LST but also an audacious HST with a 90ยฐ stem bend. With flowering on the horizon, topping rituals commenced, mirroring the path of #2.
#3, once the towering lady, now stands equal after the orchestrated symphony of LST, HST, and topping. Despite a skirmish with bugs, a concentrated neem oil solution beneath her leaves signals Golden's unwavering commitment to her recovery.
#4, akin to a dark phoenix rising, defied all odds, sporting deformed leaves and an unequal bifurcation after an early topping. The anticipation builds as Golden envisions a future of intriguing topping results. Could she emerge as the heavyweight yielder?
#5, the stalwart companion, maintained steady growth through the week, gracefully undergoing LST, HST, and topping, a testament to Golden's nurturing touch.
The ladies' relocation around the holiday season, though unfortunate, is a temporary setback, with hopes high for their return to the embrace of direct sunlight as the flowering spectacle unfolds.

The ladies are looking strong! I had the stretch a bit at one point as well but it worked out.
If you donโt mind me asking, where are you roughly, that itโs 70 degrees and you can grow them outside? I love outside growing though the bugs can be a pain I still like it. Have you grown this strain before?
Hey @Ms_Bloomie, thanks for the questions.
Iโm very far down in the southern hemisphere. Weโre expecting summer solstice (and flowering to begin) around 23 December.
On average over the last week itโs been about 70 degrees. Iโm expecting temperatures up to 89 degrees on certain days around January.
Bugs can be troublesome at times, but Iโve found neem oil diluted with some water in a spray bottle keeps them at bay. I try to spray them twice a week in veg. How do you deal with the bugs especially during flower?
Iโve never grown this strain before but really hoping she shows some of her orange hues during flower. How did you deal with the stretch?
@Golden, Ich konnte mir ihre Geschichte bildlich vorstellen. Etwas dick aufgetragen, ja aber gut. Mir gefรคllt es. In der Woche vorher war es etwas sachlicher.
@Golden, you're welcome ! it's a platform to help each other share and learn new knowledge it's so great that this exist , for us the passionate of this plants and for medicine ๐ฏ๐
I was going to ask where could this be that it's 70 degrees right now!! Even in Texas they are getting some cool weather. I enjoy your story-telling so much I look forward to coming back and keeping up with your girls!
@bigolebuds, Well thatโs very kind of you sir. Iโm far down in the southern hemisphere. Iโm already expecting temperatures to sore to the high 70s/low 80s in the coming months. Wish you and myself luck for the heat - Golden ๐๐ฅ
Thank you brother @LowzGrowz, the fence took ages to make and itโll make early LST a breeze in the big pots. How do you think the transplant went? ๐
