White Widow XXL, Mimosa Evo,SLH, AK47

BlaKX Hey Gude Growmies! 18/6 phase for 6 days, just chilling in the bathroom until the new Mars Hydro 120x120x200cm grow tent arrives along with the fan. Then straight into flowering, so this first week counts as week two. I’m so excited to replace my 15-year-old tent with a new one that has no holes and broken zippers. Keep your fingers crossed for me 🤞🏽

BlaKX Ai Gude , Flowering Week 2 is coming to an end and I am very happy with the development apart from the AK which is unfortunately very leaf-heavy.

BlaKX Hey Gude Growmies Unfortunately, I'm sick in bed and only managed to get the essentials done. And took a few pictures. But it's developing somewhat :)

BlaKX Hey Gude Growmies, Bloom week 4 for PK13/14 is too early for me, I'm going to use it in bloom week 5. The AK47 seems to have had phosphorus issues, its lower branches are extremely weak and soft. Other than that, I'm satisfied.

BlaKX Hey guys, you growers from all over the world ^^ Unfortunately, I overwatered a bit and noticed some fungus gnats, so I had to put out a few old yellow traps. I’ll use them until Saturday, won’t water, and will keep checking the weight and moisture as well as testing the soil pH. I started the fifth week of flowering with a distance of 35cm and 100% power/680 watts. I managed to solve the heat issues by opening another air intake and connecting a 1.5m hose with a protective grid. I closed all other air openings, and the carbon filter is hanging at the very top, back right in the tent. My two fans are installed opposite each other; the oscillating Mars Hydro 6-inch clip fan is running on level 4 in "Natural Wind Mode": (Simulates precise natural wind patterns to promote healthy plant growth - Manufacturer's info). After 5 weeks of continuous use, I can’t complain, and the natural mode is, in my opinion, the best way to simulate nature since wind never consistently comes from one direction! In my previous grow, I had a 3-speed oscillating stand fan instead of the MH clip fan, and the same cuttings (2nd generation) as now, but these are the last cuttings, let’s call it the 3rd generation from my own mother plants, which were also cuttings except for the AK47. Due to illness, I couldn’t take care of them, which led to powdery mildew, especially affecting the SLH, as well as an AK47 "pheno/mutant" that only had 3 leaves and looked absolutely deformed; nothing changed for almost 2 weeks. Then a new shoot came with normal leaves but extremely dense internode spacing and very airy buds with an absolute gassy smell, each a bit different from the others. Unfortunately, the last cutting dried out a lot during my absence and automatically went into flowering during the veg 18/6 phase under a 200w CFL 6500k and daylight. I’ve managed to keep it alive until now, and the AK doesn’t really take up much space. But I have to be extremely careful about mold formation. Otherwise, the plants seem vital to me and definitely better than in the first LED grow.

BlaKX Hey Gude, Unfortunately, I'm now forced to adjust the LED light performance between 80-60% depending on the daytime temperature to stay below 30°C during the day. Otherwise, I have calmag issues; I've now replaced BioBizz with Canna Calmag Agent. Other than that, I'm satisfied. I suspect my pH level is a bit too low, but with 2 weeks to go until harvest, I'm not stressing out; they're nearing the end, but you still want the ladies to look healthy 😉 I installed the Mars Hydro Adlite 660nm Deep Red at the end of week 6.

BlaKX Hello Growmies! There were 2 extraordinary events! The 1st was that I found two small spots of powdery mildew on the small buds of the AK47, so I immediately removed the low-yielding buds. The 2nd was that a lightning bolt struck a tree 500m away from me, and then the power was out for 30 minutes. I prayed that no electronic devices were destroyed ^^ luckily, that was the case; otherwise, the dog hid in the tent during the storm. The plants are gaining a lot of weight and resin; I would say they will be ready in 2 weeks!!

BlaKX Hey Gude Growmies, it's getting really frosty on the buds❄️🌌 Since I passed flowering day 50, I see daily how the buds are producing more and more trichomes and weight!❄️❄️❄️ Mimosa, which takes a bit longer like in the previous grow, is probably developing this colorful spectacle due to phosphorus deficiency. But the mother plant that went into flowering before was already quite large, and I had to reveg this clone in the current grow, and still, it developed larger and prettier buds! In my circle, they even say it seems like two different strains and not clones. I properly defoliated the White Widow XXL; since I was a bit negligent, powdery mildew settled in three spots. I never get over 45% humidity at night, more like 38-42% on average, and during the day, even 30-35% humidity. Unfortunately, they were all infected with powdery mildew, but I treated it successfully. Now at the end of flowering, I'm removing the leaves and dabbing them with organic powdery mildew EX beforehand. AK47 also had a preventive defoliation down below. A clone from feminized seeds that was initially absolute bastard cannabis developed into a sturdy, compact indica dwarf with a poor flower/leaf ratio but an extremely strong old-school skunk scent with chemistry, earth, and wet dog. The Super Lemon Haze was supposed to become a new mother plant but was cut too late; I should have replaced it earlier. Because you can tell from the starting pictures that it only had 1 to 3-finger leaves or very few with 5, and the buds this time are not as big and fluffy as before but very compact and remind more of indica in terms of flower structure and firmness. The smell is also more towards chemistry/cat pee, which I really appreciate. After one NDL and one LED grow, and now the third with the same genetics, I can already say that I won't be growing Super Lemon Haze and AK47 for a long time. I don't know if it's just my imagination or if it's true that I consistently got better results with each run, but the plants from Serious Seeds and Green House Seeds didn't respond as well as the genetics from Barney's Farm. Especially the White Widow XXL really surprised me; I was initially disappointed because the plant grows almost like a pure sativa in the veg phase, which would have easily reached over 150cm without topping. If you want to compare it with the SLH, both have long internodal distances and hardly any leaf growth, or a super flower/leaf ratio! Only on the buds of the WW, which become extremely compact and heavy, does the supposed 75% indica content show with up to 26% THC. The XXL at the end has earned that strain!!! What in the 90s were WW and AK47, and in the 2000s the SLH as hype strains, Barney's Farm managed to update the WW for me so that it smells, tastes, and kicks just like it did back then. I was able to try the pharmacy White Widow of different prices and origins multiple times with acquaintances, and depending on the quality, it was okay for the price. Mr. Nice Guy Seeds Black Widow or the WW inbreed line from GHS is also absolutely recommendable for anyone wanting to understand the hype from back then. I want to "replace" the WW from Barney's Farm with GMO or select mother plants from regular seeds. The Mimosa Evo was the newest in the tent regarding genetics, and I did a lot of research beforehand because I wasn't really into all the new candy ice dessert sweet tutti frutti breath strains, but I wanted a strain that could reach up to 30% THC and has color :D. Tangerine Dream already positively surprised me back then with sweet mandarin at the beginning and G13 and Neville's A5 Haze in the aftertaste, and it was very strong at that time. Mimosa Evo mainly smells fruity of orange, lemon, and forest berries; when smoking, PP comes through along with earth and diesel gas. In this grow, I'm using CANNA Terra Professional Plus soil and hydro balls in the pot bottom for the first time. Also, CANNAZYM and CANNA Calmag Agent. You can already see and smell the difference compared to the previous grow with BioBizz All Mix soil and BB Calmag. I want to reuse the soil from Canna, which is why I got CANNAZYM. I'm cautious with additives like root stimulators; I've never had problems in the root area. MONO preparations are absolutely useful if you want to combat deficiency symptoms specifically. I started growing 21 years ago, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller, but consistently with small breaks; since then, I've been fertilizing mineral with CANNA and guano. I'll be testing organic fertilization just for the sake of taste and aroma. I think by May 22 at the latest, everything will be ready, and my grow report will be completed 😍🌈🌌 *Update* I have to reduce the lamp's power; it's just getting too warm, but at almost 26°C during the day, it's hard to exchange the hot air, even though the exhaust is directed into another room.

BlaKX Hey Gude Growmies, finally flowering day 63 / 9 weeks done! Cannabis helps me with my neurological pain and discomfort from Morbus Sudeck and damaged nerves from a carpal tunnel surgery. Since then, I can only really work with my right hand, etc. I can't move my left thumb anymore. Since the WW and SLH weren't making any more progress except ripening, I harvested them because more mass doesn't do anything for me in Germany, so I harvest when all the trichomes are milky and have maximum THC. I couldn't find any clear trichomes anymore, just some brown ones. In contrast, Mimosa Evo & AK47 are still pushing out resin and mass; even in the previous grow, Mimosa took the longest of all, but it's absolutely worth it!!! I can hardly wait to finally wrap up this grow report properly since I'm missing the most important pictures of the harvest from the last one to finish it off right. The other 2 are getting a small amount of nutrients so they can slowly use everything up.

BlaKX High Growmies! The Mimosa has ripened very well and developed an incredible gummy bear aroma with a forest scent!! In the last few days, it has gained a lot of resin. The AK47 would definitely have needed another 7 days, but to be honest, it's not worth the time for me anymore since the yield wouldn't have increased much either. However, its terpenes are hard to categorize; it smells like everything but somehow a skunk scent dominates xD I'm already looking forward to tasting both :)

BlaKX Ajoooooo that is or was a long checklist.. I definitely like it :) The WW still needs to dry, I completely manicured it, so 30g of sugar leaves fell off and I processed some into butter. I estimate it will be about 75g dry.

BlaKX Hey Gude Growmies, It just smells wonderful with a hint of skunk/cat piss chemistry and lemon cleaner.

BlaKX She was able to flower for 70 days as suggested by the manufacturer. She wouldn't have needed more; you can feel a certain sativa dominance, which is reflected in the slightly longer flowering period, and it definitely pays off. Thanks to the Canna Terra Professional Plus soil, she has shown increased terpene production. I could have maybe used more nutrients and achieved a higher yield, but I wanted to focus more on terpenes and trichomes with this grow. I would describe the aroma as gummy bears with a diesel note :)

BlaKX Uiii I managed to upload both grows completely, even though the first one was incomplete and I had to harvest very early, it has already paid off for this grow.
