Taste of Minnesota

This is week 1 of the seedling phase. Soil composition is as follows: Recycled Fox Farms Ocean Forest from previous grows 100% Organic Worm Castings @ 25% Perlite @ 25% Gaia Green AP 4-4-4 Recommended Dosing Gaia Green PB 2-8-4 Recommended Dosing

Week 2 Seedling Phase I've been turning off my humidifier at lights out to simulate what it's like outside. Trying this out this grow to see how the plants react/produce. Ppfd is just under 750

Topped at 3rd node. Added in Bud Candy from Advanced Nutrients. PPFD 700

Fed nothing except Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy and 6.2 pH water. Noticed some yellow tips, backed off the nutes.

I decided to only use the supplemental nutes with this grow. My base soil will provide everything else.

Started to notice a Magnesium deficit. Added Epsom Salt. Ppfd Average 750

Last week on veg. This one's looks to have fallen behind on height. Hopefully Flower stage will help with the stretch to get an even canopy in the tent.

Start of Flower Ppfd avg. 700 Soaked pot until saturated. Started my Flower Foliar Spray right before lights out. I will Spray plants once a week for 4 weeks of Flower. Foliar Spray Recipe per 2L as follows: All Advanced Nutrients Products. 4ml Bud Ignitor 4ml Nirvana 4ml Bud Factor X 10ml B-52 Midweek update. Second round of foliar spray. Ladies loved the first round, went with a second. Ill do this twice a week until I'm through week 4 of Flower. Video is right after I sprayed for the 2nd round at 15 mins before lights out. Don't want all the foliar spray burning the ladies now do we.

Week 2 of Flower. Keeping with 2 foliar sprays per week. Plants are enjoying life. Foliar Spray Recipe per 2L as follows: All Advanced Nutrients Products. 4ml Bud Ignitor 4ml Nirvana 4ml Bud Factor X 10ml B-52

Defoliation week. Cleaned up under the canopy, and clipped the subpar Bud sites under the canopy. Foliar spray in use until end of week 4. Started to drop the temp to simulate changing of the seasons. 70*f during lights on, about 63*f lights out. Start of the week had an issue with the tent. After watering, the tent humidity went up to 90%. I have my Humidifier set to keep VPD between .8 and 1.2 and the system was trying to balance out between temp and humidity. Got cold one night. 3 days into this week and I haven't watered since last week. Soil still has plenty of water in it.

Finally getting to the exiting part of growing. Bud sites are well on their way, lots of great looking buds starting to form. Last week for the foliar spray. Ill hit it 3 times this week. Lowered temp at night to 66°F Day temp creeps upto 72°F. Humidifier is set to keep the VPD between .8 - 1.2 it adjusts as needed for temperature. Light is at 80%

Week 5 Flower. Foliar spray is now done. I used a total of 1.75L over 4 weeks. Each week except week 4 was sprayed 2 times a week. Week 4 I sprayed 3 times. Did some canopy clean up. Took off some leaves and some under preforming branches to give the big branches as much chance of producing big weight.

Last day of week 5 today. Got a great start to some frosty tops. Seeing some.purple leaves coming in. My wife's shower music played a key roll in this video. These 2 Minnesota strains from Mad Shark Genetix , Taste of Minnesota on left, Blueberry Winter on the right, are doing very well and I have enjoyed growing these 2. 4 more weeks ish to go. Added a P boost and Recharge to this weeks feeding. Let's put on some weight baby!!! NFSOT

Week 7. No changes. Just bulking up.

Week 8 Flower. Its getting nice and frosty. I'm keeping an eye on the tric colors making sure I don't over ripen it.

We have reached the last week of flower. After paying close attention to the tricomes, this will be its last week. Barring any changes or hiccups it'll get the chop this weekend.

Had a Photographer come take shots on Harvest day. Looking forward tonsmoke this. It looks great for some Bubble Hash or fresh frozen squeeze.
