Grapefuel Gelato, KISS, Amnesia, Lemon O

HazeLiebhaber Lemon Orange and Grapefuel Gelato were put into 11L pots last night. The other two are expected to go in tomorrow. I'm also currently battling the heatwave here. I've already switched the light phase to nighttime, but for example, yesterday we still had 29°C in the apartment at 11 PM. I'm trying to fight it with ice and cooling packs. This gives me a drop of 2-3°C, but I have to put in that effort every 3-4 hours to keep the temperature consistently down.

HazeLiebhaber The temperatures have normalized again. The Grapefuel Gelato seems to have a slight windburn because the fan was hanging pretty low to fight against the heat. The other 3 have handled the heat well.

HazeLiebhaber I dimmed the light to 70% yesterday. I started feeding all of them, except for the Amnesia, with Hesi TNT. I'm slowly working my way to the optimal amount. Currently, Lemon Orange is getting half the recommended dose. KISS and Grapefuel Gelato are getting about 20%. I'll increase the dose for KISS next time. Lemon Orange will also get its first LST today. For the Grapefuel Gelato, I'm currently assuming there's heat damage. I'll probably top it this evening. The main node is growing slower than some of the internodes. The newest leaves on the main node also look deformed, as do those on the upper internodes. The leaves on the lower internodes look healthy so far, so I'm hoping that topping will solve the problems.

HazeLiebhaber All the ladies have now received their LST. The Grapefuel Gelato was also topped. Grapefuel Gelato and KISS were also defoliated a bit.

HazeLiebhaber The KISS light is probably a bit too strong. The top leaves were slightly curled up and too bright for me. I noticed the same with Lemon Orange, as soon as the distance to the lamp was less than 40cm. Otherwise, the ladies look good. On Sunday, they will probably go into flowering.

HazeLiebhaber Start of the flowering phase. The lamp is now running at 90% power. Now I will first pay attention to how well they tolerate the strength, and in 2 weeks there will be the last training and it will be lollipopped.

HazeLiebhaber The stretch has already begun and the ladies are starting to smell nice.

HazeLiebhaber This week there was lollipopping and defoliation. For next weekend, I'm planning to hang a scrog net if I get the chance.

HazeLiebhaber Flowering day 21. I can maintain the VPD with my dehumidifier and a current humidity level of about 56% at 1.5 during the light phase and 1.2 during the dark phase. If it stays this humid/rainy here, it will be tough to get the humidity level below 40% even with the dehumidifier. We'll see. The grow should still last another 5-7 weeks in total.

HazeLiebhaber The buds are getting thicker and thicker. Especially the Grapefuel Gelato and the Lemon Orange are exploding. The first trichomes are also becoming visible on the leaves of all of them.

HazeLiebhaber The buds are continuing to grow. With the Lemon Orange, many leaves are also slowly turning blue/purple. All very nice to look at 😍

HazeLiebhaber The Lemon Orange and the Grapefuel Gelato have already gained a good amount of flower mass and have developed some orange-brown pistils. The two will probably be the first to finish. KISS and Amnesia are just starting to add flower mass. I think the two will take at least a week longer to finish than the other two. The plants in the video: front-left Amnesia, back-left Lemon Orange, back-right Grapefuel Gelato, front-right KISS.

HazeLiebhaber Flowering Day 50. The last weeks have begun, so I've dimmed the light to 60%. The Lemon Orange and the Grapefuel Gelato will probably need another 1-2 weeks. Amnesia and KISS will likely take another 2-3 weeks, although it looks like the Amnesia will finish before the KISS. They will all get just water for 2 days to help them start transitioning into fall mode. After that, I'll check the trichomes to see how much longer each lady will need. If they need more than a week, they'll get nutrients again for now.

HazeLiebhaber The Grapefuel Gelato has finished first. I had a few pictures of the trichomes analyzed by an AI, and according to it, the amber-colored ones are about 27% on average. Now it's time to chop it down and then hang it to dry. Update after harvesting: It seems to be a gassy pheno 😋 in some places, instead of 2, there are even 3 buds formed 😍 I'm really looking forward to the first smoke test 💚 it's definitely an XXL yield!

HazeLiebhaber Harvest day for my Lemon Orange at BT60. Mega frosty buds. More after the harvest. Update: The harvest went very quickly since it didn't form many branches. The yield is not in the XXL range, but still XL.

HazeLiebhaber Flowering Day 63: Super strain! As described by the breeder, the buds get so heavy that the branches bend, which I unfortunately had to notice while moving the plant to harvest another one 😅 but it seems to have handled it without major issues. My pheno grew more like a sativa with long buds. The smell is mega skunky and the buds are mega frosty. Yield XXL! Update: due to the already bent branches, I had to trim it old school upside down. It was a lot of work with all the branching. So far the longest trim in this grow! I'm going to leave it hanging just like it is for now.

HazeLiebhaber Flowering Day 77: Today, the last one, my Amnesia from World of Seeds, was harvested. Probably the worst in terms of yield (not sure yet since the buds are rock hard), but the nicest in terms of smell with its old school aroma, reminding me of Amnesia Haze from Soma, or my favorite pheno of Super Lemon Haze. It had the most trouble with light stress, but still made it to the end. Currently, it's drying at 20-21°C and a humidity level between 55 and 65%.
