GanjaGecko The Blueberry Muffin and the Apple Blossom have seen the light of the "world" after three days. The Cotton Candy Kush took an extra day and joined on day 4. The light was dimmed so that about 200 ppfd reached the pots. For the first few days until the first leaves are visible, more power isn't needed. At first, there were two CandyKush, but one got kicked out after a short time because it didn't look healthy and wasn't developing well. The ladies received a light nutrient solution twice a week, with 10ml per lady, and were only watered when necessary. By day 7, the ladies are already looking motivated.

GanjaGecko This week, the ladies received full nutrients for the first time. However, each lady only got about 40-50 ml. The light is dimmed so that around 200-300 ppfd reaches the ladies. At this stage, the ladies don't need as much light. On day 14, the Blueberry Muffin and the Apple Blossom were placed in a 12-liter (4 gal) fabric pot. The Cotton Candy Kush was initially put in a 5l pot, but shortly after, it also got a 12l fabric pot. During the repotting, the ladies all received a good pinch of Dynomyco mycorrhiza to support their growth. It was about 1-2g per pot. To start in the new pots, the ladies received about 100-150ml of nutrients. This will be increased and adjusted over time as they grow and their needs change. The surface will be lightly moistened as needed to prevent the soil from completely drying out and to keep the soil life active.

GanjaGecko The amount of watering is slowly increasing, and each lady gets about 150-200ml twice a week, with just a surface misting in between as needed. Once a week, there's 100% nutrients, and the second time, it's 50% nutrients.

GanjaGecko On day 24, the CandyKush got its topping, and on day 25, the Apple Blossom and the Blueberry Muffin did too. The ladies each received 250ml of nutrients and were otherwise only lightly moistened on the surface. The light is also being increased week by week. Since the ladies need a bit more power at that time, they are getting a ppfd value of about 400.

GanjaGecko In the 5 weeks, the ladies have recovered well from topping, and the side branches are developing great. On day 30, a few large leaves were removed so that the side branches get more light. On day 30, the Candy Kush was put into the 12l fabric pot. Now all the ladies have a 12l pot. And hopefully, they will feel very comfortable. The ladies received 300 ml of nutrients here and were lightly watered in between to avoid drying out.

GanjaGecko In the sixth week, the Blueberry Muffin and the Candy Kush received a topping on the top two shoots at both ends. The Apple Blossom was topped a bit harder and stressed due to its rapid growth, so the other two ladies gained some height and are at the same level as much as possible at the beginning of flowering. Again, a few large leaves were removed that were covering the lower side shoots, so they also have a chance at light and can gain some height. The ladies were fertilized once with 300ml and the second time they received 650ml with fertilizer.

GanjaGecko The ladies got to try the Bio-Enhancer from Green House for the first time. Each lady received 600 ml. Additionally, they received another 600 ml of nutrients three days later. The amount of Bio-Grow was halved since some leaf tips were slightly burned.

GanjaGecko At the beginning of this week, the ladies each got 600ml of water. By the middle of the week, the ladies received 900ml of nutrients. In between, as always, I made sure to keep the soil moist so it never dries out. Additionally, all the ladies got some extra soil. It consisted of 50% mixed substrate and 50% Plagron Megaworm so the ladies could get some fresh nutrients and prepare for the time change. There was also a 50% Greenhouse BioEnhancer added.

GanjaGecko At the beginning of the week, on day 59, the ladies received 25% Rootjuice, 50% BioGrow, 50% BioHeaven, and 50% Acti-Vera, also already with 50% BioBloom in preparation for the time change on day 63 (9 weeks). Each lady got 1 liter. On day 62, they received 100% fertilizer from the entire range. Additionally, there was 1ml per liter of Plagron Power Buds so the ladies can focus on flowering. The light was reduced from 18 hours to 15 hours on day 62. One day later, on day 63, it was reduced again by nearly 3 hours. So the exposure time is at 12 hours and 15 minutes. Thus, day 63 is the first day of flowering. Since the ladies have an approximate flowering time of 6 weeks, I hope that the extra 15 minutes per day will make a difference. The light was dimmed again, so the ppfd value is approximately at 700-750 ppfd. The distance to the lamp was reduced to 40cm and turned to 100W. This will remain for the first 2-3 weeks of flowering before the ladies get the maximum 120W.

GanjaGecko On day 63, the last day of vegetation, the ladies received 100% of the recommendation. Each lady got 1.2L, 100% additives, 50% Grow, and 100% Bloom for the upcoming first week of flowering. On day 64, the ladies spent their first day with 12h20min of light. The light was turned up to 100W, and the distance from the light was reduced to about 40cm, so the ladies are now getting around 700-750 pffd. On day 67, the ladies received 50% of the recommended additives, 0% Grow, and 100% Bloom because they showed a slight phosphorus deficiency. I think this was due to the long vegetation period and the associated big hunger. By the end of the first week of flowering, the ladies looked healthier again and were slowly regaining their lush green color. Each lady got 1.2L again. On day 69, they received 100% of the additives again, 50% Grow, and 100% Bloom. To prepare for the second week of flowering, they also got 1g/L BioEnhancer from GreenHouse and 1ml/L PowerBuds from Plagron. Each lady received 1.2L.

GanjaGecko On day 71/9F, the ladies were watered with about 400-500 ml of water at pH 6.8. On day 73/11F, there was 0.5ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L BioBloom, 0.5ml/L TopMax, 2ml/L BioHeaven, 1ml/L Acti-Vera, 1ml/L Alg-a-mic, 0.5ml/L Plagron PowerBuds, 1ml/L StickyFingers, and 0.2ml/L CalMag. Each lady received 1.2L at pH 6.8. On day 75/13F, the ladies were lightly watered with pH 6.8. About 100ml per lady. Only the surface was sprayed. On day 76/14F, all the ladies got their lollipopping and a defoliation. The AppleBlossom was defoliated a few days earlier because it has very strong growth. It's already stretching a lot. The AppleBlossom is 52cm tall on day 76/14F. The BlueberryMuffin is growing perfectly. It has nice spacing between the nodes and branches and has had a perfect stretch so far. The BlueberryMuffin is 47cm tall. The CandyKush is unfortunately the smallest, but that's not too wild. It's 35cm tall. During lollipopping, the CandyKush was placed a bit higher so it stands nearly at the same height as the BlueberryMuffin. The distance to the lamp for the BBM is 40cm, for the AppleBlossom it's between 35-40cm, and for the CandyKush, it's about 45-50cm. The CandyKush grows a bit tighter, so it had to be defoliated a bit more aggressively. On this day, the ladies were prepared for the third flowering week with 2ml/L BioBloom, 2ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L TopMax, 2ml/L BioHeaven, 2ml/L Acti-Vera, 2ml/L Alg-a-mic, 1ml/L Plagron PowerBuds, 1ml/L PlagronSugarRoyal, and 2ml/L StickyFingers. Each lady again received 1.2L at pH 6.8. This was divided into three parts with 20-minute intervals, so 3×400ml, allowing the medium to properly absorb the nutrients. At the beginning, the soil was lightly sprayed with water to help it absorb the nutrients better.

GanjaGecko On day 78, each lady received 400ml of water at pH 6.8. On day 80/18F, the ladies got a diluted and adjusted nutrient solution. From BioBizz, there was 2ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L BioBloom, 0.5ml/L TopMax, 2ml/L Acti-Vera, 2ml/L BioHeaven, 1ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.3ml/L CalMag. From XpertNutrients, 1ml/L BloomBooster, 1ml/L StickyFingers, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot. From Plagron, there was 0.5ml/L SugarRoyal and 0.5ml/L PowerBuds. Each lady received 1.2L with pH 6.8. The BlueberryMuffin had slightly light leaves, which improved with a bit more BioGrow. The light was set to 100% on day 80/18F, and the ladies are getting 120W. The ppfd value is between 850 and 900, and the DLI is between 35 and 39. On day 83/21F, the ladies received the full but adjusted nutrient recommendation. From BioBizz, there was 2ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L BioBloom, 1ml/L TopMax, 2ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.3ml/L CalMag. From XpertNutrients, 2ml/L StickyFingers and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot. From Plagron, there was 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L GreenSensation. This means a bit less BioBloom is needed. Additionally, there was 1g/L BioEnhancer from GreenHouseFeeding, so only 50% of Acti-Vera was used. Each lady received 1.2L with a pH of 6.6. The soil had a pH of 7 a day before watering. To get the soil to 6.8-6.9, the ladies are getting pH 6.6. The BlueberryMuffin is gradually showing why it has that name :) it's bringing a lot of joy and has an average height of 50cm. The AppleBlossom is the tallest at 56cm, and the elevated CandyKush is 42cm tall. The light distance varies between 30 and 45 cm depending on the lady. The light is set for the BlueberryMuffin, so there's a distance of 38-40 cm to it. For the AppleBlossom, it's between 30-40 cm, and for the CandyKush, it's 40-45 cm away.

GanjaGecko On day 85/23C, each lady received 4ml/L Acti-Vera and 4ml/L BioHeaven. Each lady got 600ml at pH 6.6. On day 87/25C, the ladies received 0.5ml/L BloomBooster, 2ml/L StickyFingers from XpertNutrients, 1ml/L TopMax, 4ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.3ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron at pH 6.6. Each lady was watered with 1.3L. On day 90/28C, they received 1ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L BioBloom, 1ml/L TopMax, 4ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 2ml/L StickyFingers, 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients, 1ml/L SugarRoyal, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L GreenSensation from Plagron. Each lady got 1.3L at pH 6.7. The AppleBlossom is now 63cm at its tallest point, the BlueberryMuffin is 58cm, and the CandyKush is 33cm. The light is positioned between 30cm and 40cm away. They are growing and thriving beautifully. They all look healthy and feel comfortable. All three are pure joy💚

GanjaGecko On day 91/29F, the ladies received the nutrient additives without NPK. There was 1ml/L TopMax, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 4ml/L Acti-Vera, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. Each lady got 1L with pH 6.8. On day 94/32F, the ladies received 1ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L TopMax, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 4ml/L Acti-Vera, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 1ml/L GreenSensation, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, 0.5ml/L BloomBooster, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. Each lady got 1.3L with pH 6.8. There was a minimal drain that measured a perfect pH value of 6.8. The BlueberryMuffin was raised by 4 cm so that it comes a bit more to the same height as the AppleBlossom. The light had to be hung a bit higher because the two top buds of the AppleBlossom were unfortunately suffering from some bud bleaching and were too close to the light at 25cm. The distance to the top buds of the AppleBlossom is now at 29cm, and for the BlueberryMuffin, it's between 32-35 cm, and for the CandyKush, it's about 38-40cm. On the last day of the week, day 97/35F, in preparation for week 6, there was 1ml/L BioGrow, 1ml/L BioBloom, 4ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 5ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 1ml/L GreenSensation, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. Additionally, 1g/L BioEnhancer from GreenHouseFeeding as recommended at two-week intervals. There was also a portion of nematodes to prevent fungus gnats. Each lady got 1.2L with pH 6.8. This time without drain, but just enough so that the soil in the fabric pot is slightly moist. 1.2L seems to be the right amount to avoid dry spots in the pot. The smell of the BlueberryMuffin totally dominates! As soon as you remove a leaf here or there, everything smells like blueberries. The AppleBlossom really gives off a pretty floral scent. The CottonCandyKush has a slight hint of haze when you rub the sugar leaves and smell them. All the ladies are generating a lot of excitement.

GanjaGecko On day 99/37F, there was a diluted solution of additives. It included 2ml/L TopMax, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 3ml/L Acti-Vera, and 3ml/L Alg-a-mic from BioBizz, and 1ml/L PowerBuds from Plagron. The whole mixture was adjusted to a pH of 6.8 and administered to the ladies. The BlueberryMuffin and the AppleBlossom each received 600ml, while the CandyKush got 500ml. Since she is a bit smaller, she drinks slightly less. On day 101/39F, there was a bit more of everything again. 2ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 3ml/L Acti-Vera, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 0.5ml/L GreenSensation, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 0.5ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, along with 0.5ml/L BloomBooster and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. The BlueberryMuffin and the AppleBlossom each received 1.2L, while the CandyKush got 1L. All were watered with a pH of 6.8. On day 104/42F, it was the full load. 1ml/L BioBloom, 4ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 5ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 1ml/L GreenSensation, 1ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. There’s only 1ml/L of BioBloom because the ladies have an all-rounder with GreenSensation. The BlueberryMuffin and the AppleBlossom each received 1.2L, and the CandyKush was watered with 1L. All ladies were again given a pH of 6.8. The CandyKush was placed a bit lower, so now she has 16cm beneath her. This way, she is closer to the light and can get a bit more of it on the final stretch. Light distance AppleBlossom 28-40cm BlueberryMuffin 32-40cm CandyKush 40cm The ladies are looking prettier day by day and are visibly gaining weight. Their height has remained the same. Now the ladies just need to bulk up💚

GanjaGecko On day 106/44F, there was a diluted solution of additives. It contained 2ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 3ml/L Acti-Vera, and 3ml/L Alg-a-mic from BioBizz. This was adjusted to a pH of 6.8 and administered to the ladies. Each lady received 700ml. On day 108/46F, there was a bit more of everything. 2ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 5ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.4ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 0.7ml/L GreenSensation, 0.7ml/L PowerBuds, and 0.7ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, 1ml/L BloomBooster, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. Each lady got 1.2L with pH 6.8. On day 111/49F, it was the full load. 1ml/L BioBloom, 4ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 5ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.5ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 1ml/L GreenSensation, 0.5ml/L PowerBuds, and 1ml/L SugarRoyal from Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, 1ml/L BloomBooster, and 0.5ml/L Sugarshot from XpertNutrients. There was one last time 1g/L BioEnhancer from GreenHouseFeeding. Each of the three ladies received 1.2L with pH 6.8. I think about another 1 to 1½ weeks and they could be done. They seem to be getting fatter day by day💚 Considering that the flowering, or the first signs of sex, started 8 days after switching the light to 12/12, the 45-day estimate is about right. I think they will all finish around the same time +/- 2-3 days.

GanjaGecko An Tag 113/51F gab es wieder Additive. 1ml/L BioBloom, 2ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 4ml/L Acti-Vera und 4ml/L Alg-a-mic von BioBizz, 0.5ml/L Sugar Royal, 0.5ml/L GreenSensation von Plagron und 1ml/L StickyFingers, 0.5ml/L Sugarshot von XpertNutrients. Das ganze wurde auf einen ph-Wert von 6.8 gebracht und den Ladys verabreicht. Jede def drei Ladys bekam 800ml auf ph 6.8. An Tag 115/53F gab es wieder etwas mehr von allem. 2ml/L TopMax, 4ml/L BioHeaven, 4ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L Alg-a-mic und 0.5ml/L CalMag von BioBizz, 0.5ml/L GreenSensation, 0.5ml/L PowerBuds und 0.5ml/L SugarRoyal von Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, 0.5ml/L BloomBooster und 0.5ml/L Sugarshot von XpertNutrients. Jede Lady hat 1.2L mit ph 6.8 bekommen. An Tag 118/56F gab es 1ml/L BioBloom, 2ml/L TopMax, 5ml/L BioHeaven, 4ml/L Acti-Vera, 4ml/L Alg-a-mic und 0.5ml/L CalMag von BioBizz, 0.5ml/L GreenSensation und 0.5ml/L SugarRoyal von Plagron, 2ml/L StickyFingers, 0.5ml/L Sugarshot von XpertNutrients. Jede Lady mit 1.2L auf ph6.8 Alle alten und herbstlichen Blätter wurden entfernt um die letzten Tage die Energie nochmal in die Buds zu leiten. So kriegen auch die untern Knospen nochmal etwas mehr Licht. Die AppleBlossom wird von Tag zu Tag fetter und riecht einfach nur lecker. Sie braucht "am längsten" von allen. Ich denke und hoffe das sie in ca 4 Tagen fertig wird und abgeschnitten werden kann. Es werden dann natürlich alle Damen abgeschnitten und aufgehangen. Die BlueberryMuffin hat den intensivsten Geruch und lässt enorme Vorfreude aufkommen. Beim letzten entlaufen ist ein kleiner Seitentrieb umgeknickt. Der wurde abgeschnitten, in ein Glas mit etwas Wasser drin, wieder in das Zelt gestellt und reift jetzt noch die letzten Tage mit. Die CottonCandyKush hat jetzt zum Ende eine gesamt sehr schöne Farbe bekommen. Ist auch mit Abstand die kompakteste Dame. Die buds sind sehr dicht gewachsen und riechen himmlisch. Es kommt ein kleine note haze mit durch. Die BlueberryMuffin und die CandyKusch könnten vermutlich in 2-3 Tagen geschnitten und aufgehangen werden. Dadurch das die AppleBlossom hoffentlich nur 1-2 Tage länger braucht, werden hoffentlich alle in 4, spätestens 5 Tagen abgeschnitten und aufgehangen🤞

GanjaGecko On day 120/58F, the ladies each received 600ml with 4ml/L BioHeaven at pH 6.8. I slightly miscalculated here and hoped that the ladies would be ready by day 60 after switching to 12/12. The BlueberryMuffin and CottonCandyKush are close to being done, only the AppleBlossom needs a few more days. Since the trichomes on the BlueberryMuffin and CottonCandyKush aren't quite there yet, it's not a problem. On day 122/60F, they received 2ml/L Acti-Vera, 3ml/L BioHeaven, 2ml/L TopMax, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, and 0.3ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 2ml/L StickyFingers, and 1ml/L SugarShot from XpertNutrients. Each lady got 900ml with a pH of 6.8. On day 109/62, the ladies received 3ml/L Acti-Vera, 3ml/L Alg-a-mic, 3ml/L BioHeaven, 2ml/L TopMax, 0.3ml/L CalMag from BioBizz, 2ml/L StickyFingers, and 1ml/L SugarShot from XpertNutrients. The BlueberryMuffin and AppleBlossom got 900ml, and the CottonCandyKush got 600ml. All with a pH of 6.8. The buds of the BlueberryMuffin have become incredibly fat and smell just heavenly!!!💚 Every two days, we check the trichomes like crazy, hoping they can be hung up😄 I think the BlueberryMuffin and CottonCandyKush could be ready by day 129/67F🤞🏻 the AppleBlossom should also be ready to hang. Probably, her trichomes could handle a few more days, but she also needs to be hung upside down with the others for space reasons. Maybe the box where the BlueberryMuffin from the other run is drying will be free by then, and the trichomes of the AppleBlossom will get the time they need. Part of this will be decided by nature. If something happens, there will definitely be an update🤙🏻 Thanks for stopping by 💚

GanjaGecko On day 126/64F, the BlueberryMuffin was moved a bit further into the center after the CandyKush was taken out to dry, so it could be lit more evenly in its final days. I carefully removed the scrog net and then reattached it once everything was in place. The ladies, especially the Blueberry, have incredibly thick buds, where a little support didn’t hurt. From day 127/67F, there was only a controlled amount of water with a bit of pH adjustment to keep the pH level at 6.9. Every day could have been the last. Both received around 600ml. On day 129/67F, the ladies received their last 600ml of water with a pH of 7.0. Day 131/69F was the last day. By the end of the day, the ladies were cut and hung upside down in the tent. Before that, I cleaned and disinfected the tent, positioned the fan quite low so that no direct wind hits the ladies. The air is moving nicely, and the activated carbon filter is running👌🏻💪🏻 The BlueberryMuffin is nearly perfect. The trichomes are mostly milky, with a bit of amber, and there are still some clear ones. Since the anticipation was greatest for her, we focused more on the BlueberryMuffin. She could have been ready 2-3 days earlier, while the AppleBlossom still needed 2-3 days. The BlueberryMuffin is really packed with trichomes that emit an incredibly intense blueberry scent💙 If space hadn’t been an issue, I would have liked to leave the AppleBlossom for another week. Even when the box was free again, both the AppleBlossom and the BlueberryMuffin were too big to hang whole. Each branch would have had to be hung individually, and I was afraid that drying would happen too quickly. However, I’m not at all dissatisfied. With one more week, not much more would have happened. Thus, the AppleBlossom could also be cut and hung with a clear conscience. The next update will be the harvest update with the final pictures of the ladies and the first tastings;) Thank you for stopping by💚

GanjaGecko The Cotton Candy Kush was dried in a box with a PC fan. It took 6 days, after which the buds were nicely trimmed and packed into a jar with 62% BOVEDA packs where they are now curing.

GanjaGecko In the last days, the BlueberryMuffin only got water with a pH of 6.9. Day 127/65F 650ml Day 129/67F 600ml On Day 131/69F, the BlueberryMuffin was cut and hung up. The 69 days refer to the switch to 12/12. The delayed flowering start after the time change will be taken into account next time :) The trichomes were such that there were a few amber ones here and there, and the rest were milky enough that it could go headfirst into drying without any guilt💚

GanjaGecko Ich hätte die AppleBlossom gerne noch eine halbe Woche bis Woche länger stehen gelassen, die Trichome hätte noch etwas mehr ins milchig gehen können, waren aber so das man sie ohne schlechtes Gewissen ernten konnte. Leider musste das Zelt für die Trocknung herhalten.
