SM#2. Blue Dream

Endemic The plants are starting for offspring. There are actually 4 of them, but I'll probably only highlight a couple, since the other pair is lagging in growth by a couple of weeks. Right now, I'm trying to revive them, hoping for success.

Endemic The plants seem to be okay, I don't see any defects. A slightly yellowish appearance - it's the effect of the flash. Overall, everything seems good. Starting next week, I might begin feeding with a light vegetative mix, and then we'll see based on the ppm.

Endemic I missed a week of growth - my apologies. During this time, #2 and #3 showed their sex - #2 is a girl, #3 is a boy. #4 has joined the party - the sex is still unclear, it's a bit behind the others, but it's recovered and started growing... The boy has started to develop flowers, and the girl has an abundance of pistils, which is great to see.... I’ll probably move #4 to another box to avoid pollination, or at least minimize it, until the plant shows its sex... But judging by the signs, it also seems to want to be a girl. I'm feeding #2 according to the Advanced table, and #4 according to the Mel Frank table. The male looks quite sativa - tall, slender, narrow leaves compared to the other plants... I think I’ll remove the boy (#3) from the box in a week. I'm noting the nutrient consumption for #2 (Advanced table). Growth: #2 - 40 #3 - 80 #4 - 30 - distinct smell of chocolate) 👍

Endemic Well, we're blooming and not smelling))) The formations of little buds are already visible, which is exactly what we're aiming for. #4 showed its sex - it's a girl (but it hasn't been pollinated). Due to the nasty cops, I had to temporarily (hopefully) move the plants outdoors, luckily the weather is still nice, during the day it's around +29-30, at night it drops to 15-18. It'll be warm for another week, then it will cool down to +15 (for about 5 days), and at night it will drop to +4-10.... Then it seems it will warm up again. I have no idea what to do in the meantime, as we've only completed a third of the journey.... I'm feeding with indoor nutrients, the schedule is the same, but I've lost the ability to measure ppm... It's turning into an extreme grow, with the cops on my tail.... Damn Brus. Ah, where have we not been)))

Endemic Well, the plants are doing pretty well in their temporary timeout, but some damn thing is gnawing on the big fan leaves. Today I did the first defoliation - removed them. Plant #4 actually got pollinated, there are a few seeds, hopefully less than in #2.. Also, plant #4 has almost caught up to #2 in height, just a 5 cm difference, I think it will catch up under the light. I'm keeping the plants in timeout until Sunday - after that, the temperature might drop below zero at night - I'll have to pull them back into the box...

Endemic This week there was a bit of a bummer - while the plants were outside, some idiot set fire to the dry grass surrounding them. As a result, all the leaves wilted, and I even had to trim some buds... Basically, a harsh defoliation, damn it. An unexpected one, haha. The good news is that the buds and seeds weren't harmed, I brought the plants into the box, and the heads started swelling. The process continues.

Endemic We're continuing to bloom and ripen the seeds, the plant seems to have recovered after the heat... It eats moderately, drinks about 0.7-1.0 liters, not a glutton. It's noticeably starting to produce resin, even on the leaf around the buds... I think it will pack on more mass, at least another 4 weeks of flowering...

Endemic The growth has practically stopped, and there's been a gain in mass along with noticeable browning, even affecting the foliage around the buds. It seems to have recovered from the heat... I think it still has at least a month to go, so we continue the flowering routine))

Endemic We're flowering. Two phenotypes are clearly visible - light (#2) and dark (#4). The light one smells like berries, a bit like lemon, blueberry... The dark one has a scent closer to pine, earthy.... The dark one is initially a couple of weeks behind the light one.... Both are still producing trichomes. The light one will apparently mature earlier than the dark one. The dark one also has seeds :)

Endemic We're continuing the flowering.. The second plant will probably be ready to ripen soon, in a week or two... I'm not really liking the yellowing, the nutrients seem fine, maybe it's shedding before changing color... Although it does look pretty cool... Not much stigma to observe, everything has gone into nuts... The fourth plant, on the other hand, has a dark green color, it's beautiful of course.. The nutrients seem to be fine here too. But there are more stigmas than on the second, although there are still some nuts mixed in, but very few. The buds also seem to be of different shapes - and I suspect these are 2 different phenotypes...

Endemic We're continuing the flowering.. The stigmas have started to gain color, a beautiful light orange hue, moving forward)) I looked at the trichomes under the microscope - about 50% clear, 35% milky, and 15% amber.. Specimen #4 is acquiring a beautiful purple tint, the leaves are even turning black in places, such a nice color. And the light one looks cool in its own way, unusual. It definitely gives the impression of 2 different phenotypes. The smell has intensified a bit, a persistent fruity-pine-floral scent. I'll feed specimen #2 for another week according to the schedule and will likely switch it to Ripen. Specimen #4 is lagging behind, the stigmas have just started to color...

Endemic Well, we're approaching the final stretch. Starting today, I'm giving plant #2 "ripen," but made myself from Juy's Bloom) Plant #4 is still being fed for flowering since the stigmas are still immature. Overall, everything is even better than it could have been)) The plants are blooming and delighting with their appearance and aroma)) I've already collected a few ripe nuts, and while I was collecting, a bit of plastic stuck to my fingers, I blew on it - it blew away, thank God))

Endemic Nuts have been obtained, goal achieved, this is actually what it was all about. Thanks to everyone who watched, participated, or showed interest!!! Until new meetings, hopefully!!
