Week 5 veg for the Lemon and week 4 for the LSD. - on this note I think I recorded a week about half a week early so in reality we may actually be 4.5 weeks and 3.5 weeks. Friday's are the best entry day for me so I will keep documenting as is for now but this realisation is a nice sentiment and eases the anxiety. Nothing other than they seem a bit behind in growth is a concern right now so I am happy. Lemon OG Haze; 6ish weeks from seed and she isn't very big, a rough start to life with damage as a seedling. In saying that she is not showing any signs of sex just yet so I am not so concerned. I was originally going to cut the veg nutes and introduce bloom at end of veg week 6 but given she's not showing any signs of transitioning I will keep her vegging for as long as possible, at this stage I will aim for week 7 veg. - As I type this I am wondering if she is actually an auto, maybe the pack I received was mislabelled, time will tell I guess. LSD-25; Again slower growth that what I am used to with this strain but she has kicked into overdrive in the past few days and is showing some pistils so I am semi-ok with the progress. She is starting week 5 veg now I will try and veg for as long as I can but with a plan to re-evaluate at the end of week 6. I have started LST and defoliating, this will be done daily to promote bushy growth.

Friday 1st December 2023 So today marks the start of week 2! Both plants are growing every day, everything seems to be going well so far! The TS600 *should* be arriving this weekend so that will be a nice upgrade. I've started with nutes today, introduced CalMag, Biobizz Grow and Canna Rhizotonic whilst following all feeding advice I can find online. Got my PH Pen calibrated properly today, after mixing my first batch of feed the PH was 8.7! I'm glad I took the time to review those readings as I'm sure this would've been very bad for the plants. Brought the PH down to 6.5 on the nose and gave both plants a good watering, won't give them anymore for a few days and see how they respond over the next few hours. Fingers crossed! Any advice on watering, feeding and nutrients would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Saturday 2nd December The post man must've hated me today! Lots of stuff delivered for the tent and I've installed it all, up and running! Gone for a 4 inch inlibe fan with carbon filter exhausting out the top of the tent, completely invisible from the outside, almost silent and feels like good airflow. My Mars Hydro TS600 also arrived, so hooray for no more purple photos! The light intensity is a huge increase over the amazon special in the tent prior to this, but it's done well so far so I'll stash it away as an emergency backup unit. The TS600 seems to be a perfect fit in the 80x80 tent, it's exceptionally light and wickedly bright. Here's to hoping the plants benefit from a few conscious upgrades 😊 No watering today as media still damp, plants looking healthy and pushing out more leaves every time I check them. Hopefully we are doing well so far! Sunday 3rd December Plants are continuing to grow well, I do think the new light has made a good difference to them! Have made a point of swapping the pots left to right and rotating the plants to make sure they get even light coverage. Using the extractor and carbon filter now as the plants have started to give off an aroma. Going well and nothing seems to be struggling, I'll keep doing what I'm doing and follow my feed schedules. See you tomorrow! Monday 4th December Plants looking great again. After doing research decided to go up to my 11L pots in plenty of time to prevent as much stress as possible. Surrounded the old fabric pots with coir, surgically removed the old 7L pot with a razor blade and lifted it out ever so carefully. Went super smoothly, the roots are nowhere near the outer edges of the 7L pots anyway so they just slid out with minimal disturbance to the plants or the substrate around them. I hope this was successful as I took extra care and followed some good guidance. Lightly watered to encourage the roots to their new home, fingers crossed they hardly noticed what happened and have minimal stress as a result, but I'm expecting growth to slow as a result and I'll take it nice and steady from here. Tuesday 5th December Checked the plants at 7am before work and they looked very sorry for themselves. Droopy and exhausted looking, I spent the whole day at work convinced I'd come home to two dead plants from transplant shock. Instead I've come home to two ladies that have stretched their legs and grown even more! Super relieved, let's see how they go this next few days with more space to root in to 😁 Wednesday 7th December Plants are doing great! Spreading out and growing really well, the soil was bone dry when I checked them at 7pm so I mixed a fresh batch of nutrients up and gave them a steady watering. Lots of new leaf development, I'm really happy so far 🙂 Thursday 8th December Came home from work to lots more growth, as a first time grower it's absolutely amazing just how fast these things grow! They don't seem to be struggling at all and I'm being really careful watering them. I have also introduced a cheap 2L humidifier for the tent, running it on low to see how it affects the overall humidity as it keeps dipping low. It's winter here so really dry with central heating. I guess we keep going as we have been and see what week 3 brings us!

Triming a bunch of leaves and branches 10mins in morning ten at night before co2 kicks on. I flipped sooner then normal because they where very aggressive. And they are hitting the lights at day 21 :( I was able to to creep the light up 3 inches with some temporary straps touching the light. I hope that 3 inches is all I need (that's what she said).. Otherwise plant is amazingly aggressive and smelly lots of tops and sites..

Im doing a bit of defoliation, moreover the leaves that covering the buds, i cut some small branches on the bot of the plants, to keep energy for the distal parts of the branches. Every 2 day approximately, to no stress a lot the plants, I pinch the apex of MD1, MD2 and BB1, that my secondary branches go up, until the height of the apex central. Nutriments : 2,0 mL/L of rhizotonic, 2,5 mL/L of cannazym every watering. 2,0 mL/L of terra vega every 2 or 3 watering in case of they need (N) until the final of the strecht (first 2 weeks of bloom). I will put 5L every watering (pots of 18L) and I will analysed the drain of every plants to check pH and the fertilizer amount. Im really proud of theses plants, they are strong, resistant (the trunks are huuuge, moreover the Moby dick from Dinafem) and so healthy !! The MD 3 has reacted really really good with the topping ! Im impressed and quite sure do topping next time ;) I hope they will give me the best of themselves !!!! Lets wait the final of the strecht 😉

As always with GreenHouseSeeds I had successful germination within 24 hours then potted and placed under 80w LED white strip light and we saw her first set of baby leaves within 72 hours. With a little help from my trusty greenhouse Bio Enhancer I live in the UK and I'm lucky enough to have decent tap water at a PH of around 7, So I lower this to around 5 before adding 0.5g of Bio Enhancer . I water the coco & seed with this mixture only and I haven't had a failed germination for a very long time. I really swear by this powder feed, it's also organic and OMRI certified.

Die kleine wächst schön flott und macht nach meinem derzeitigen Kenntnisstand einen sehr gesunden Eindruck. Mal sehen wie die Grüntöne aussehen, sobald Sie das nächste Blätterpaar entwickelt. Geplant ist später, ca. ab der 3 Blütewoche, eine Zugabe von UVB Strahlen. Bei der Hulk Berry habe ich damit ein unglaubliches Aroma erzielt. Zudem bin ich der Überzeugung, dass der "hohe" THC Gehalt im Allgemeinen, nicht zwangsläufig eine Gute Wirkung bedeutet. Viel wichtiger ist, wie die Trichome aufgeteilt sind. Eine Verfärbung ist meines Erachtens nach immer ein recht sicheres Anzeichen dafür, dass es sich um eine schöne Wirkung handeln wird. Hulk Berry, THC Bomb, sind beide starke Sorten. Jedoch fand ich AK 47 bis jetzt am aller besten. Direkt danach kam die Blueberry mit "nur" 16%. Aber die Wirkung war Rund und wunderbar. Eventuell teste ich im nächste Grow mal Califorina Orange, mal sehen. 16.11.2020 Tag 9 Ich kann nicht klagen, wie schon bei der Begutachtung der keimenden Wurzel vermutet, handelt es sich bei dem erwischen Samen um einen sehr starken. Die kleine Banane wächst sehr Gut, macht einen sehr gesunden Eindruck und hat ein passendes Farbbild. 16.11.2020 Tag 9 16:16 Uhr Aller Erstes LST erledigt. Der Stamm sollte Morgen früh schon merklich kräftiger und vor allem Widerstandsfähiger sein.

Hello. Please read week 1 for the plant description It's been a quite week round here.. Just the normal type of cannabis growing week. I noticed that some of the leaves are going yellow a little earlier than I would like so I gave each plant about an 1/8 of a cup of Blood/Bone meal 7/7/0 and watered it in. I didn't want to give too much nitrogen at this point in flowering, but just a little so the plant will stop feeding on itself and turning it's leave's yellow to soon. I came across some very aggressive white powdery fungus/mold on one bud of plant #1. As I examined it I saw that it wasn't the normal powdery mildew that I had been battling here for years. This had a white circle and was domed. One on the domes had dislodged a few mm and stuck there. Another had a small tendril growing out of it across the leaf and off the edge a bit. I just happened to have experience with this one. About 6 years ago I was over at a buddy's and he had a Super Kush by B.C.S.C. growing a few feet away from his humming bird feeder. He said I could take a few clippings. I put them in water overnight and was going to clone in the morning. In the morning I found this white fungus/mold on several leaves. I cut the leaves off and worried over the next few weeks as the plant was forming roots that the fungus would return. It never did return and the white stuff I found this week has not returned yet either. The bud that was affected was right under the roof vent and I have lots of hummingbird flowering plants and shrubs around the house and one probably pooped as it flew over the greenhouse. Seeing how they eat sweet sugar water and nectar with some insect proteins thrown in, they must have some powerful stomach bacteria in their tummies. I plan to flush the first 2 weeks of August and harvest around the 15. Till then. Chuck.

Cherry Cola's Grand Flourish in the Floral Symphony Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 4 has unfurled its petals in the mesmerizing floral journey of our beloved Cherry Cola Auto. The tent is now a stage for a grand botanical opera, and our green queen stands as a testament to the wonders of cultivation. Let's dive into the details of this flourishing spectacle! As we venture deeper into Week 4, the floral elegance of Cherry Cola Auto takes center stage. What was once a lush bush has evolved into a breathtaking beauty, a true testament to the success of our horticultural endeavors. The topping technique and the release from training supports have paved the way for a regal display of colas and buds. The decision to set our Cherry Cola free from the constraints of training supports continues to be a triumph. The tent is now a realm of bushy brilliance, and our green queen stands tall, a majestic presence commanding attention. It's a living masterpiece in perpetual motion. The echoes of our topping tales from previous weeks resonate in the structure of Cherry Cola's colas. Each topped branch has evolved into a flourishing bud-laden entity, contributing to the overall grandeur of our green canvas. The decision to embark on this topping journey has truly paid off. Our nutrient symphony, now joined by the magical touch of Potassium (K), continues to fuel the botanical brilliance. P-Boost and Topbooster, with their orchestration of phosphorus, organic grace, and now potassium magic, create a harmonious dance of blooming processes. The buds are becoming robust, laden with fibers, resins, and sugars, promising a top-tier end product. Every day, the visual majesty of Cherry Cola unfolds with new growth, showcasing the resilience and vitality she possesses. It's more than a plant; it's a living testament to the artistry of cultivation. As we conclude Week 4, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a botanical opera in full swing. The tent is alive with the grand flourish of a floral symphony. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as we eagerly await the next thrilling act in the Cherry Cola Chronicles!

I cannot wait to see how this beautiful Queen is going to look at te end of the flowering stage, she’s the closet I’ve came to LST in a manner I wanted this baby to grow, loving how brunches twirl around the twig, l have stopped growing Christmas tree shaped babies. I LST from the seedling phase right through to flowering, you should not forget that this plant can take stress, imagine it was growing in the wild, some stress in your plant’s lie is critical for positive growth, from my point of view my trees are going to struggle with big buds, because it does not have this thick stems.

Commencing Week 10 - 2nd week of flowering - Day 64 from germination - Day 14 of 12/12 on December 26th All is awesome! 😁 Although all plants have hairs right now, 818#1&2, BH2, & GZ2 (especially 818s) seem to start throwing hairs just a few days before the rest. RD is stretching out rather nicely and is working in sync to make a nice level and full canopy. Have noticed the pH of the nutrient solution now swings very low with every plant, especially the bigger ones, within 24 hrs going from 5.8 down to 3.8-4.3. I pH back up accordingly every day. Lastly I decided to go with "bonsai" training instead of topping. (This is in order to keep plants growing at a steady pace - non-stunting - while taking away the apical shape that is natural for some strains.). I "bonsai'd" The following: GZ1&2&3, AND 818#1. Simply put I coiled bonsai wire around the main cola and bent below the next lowest node /tier (see photos) The other s: RD, BH 1&2, and 818#2 have a natural level/close to level shape. D.65/15 Started tucking leaves and light stress training. So far I have taken only 3-4 leaves off per plant. And other than coiled the Apex cola they are been untouched. Also to balance out the pH drop, I have been pHing to the 6.0-6.2 range. Seems to steady the solution better so I will continue. Lastly I have put both the fans and the oxygen pumps on a 15m on 15 m off interval throughout the 24 hr day. I thought it might be risky however the plants seem not to mind, rather maybe even like this better. D.69/19 Yesterday I added a tiny bit of bloom food high in phosphate to help with the flowering since it's picking up now, as well as some extra Cal Mag and the plants seem happier because of it. And I have still been putting the pH a little higher, in the 6.1 range, rather than a 5.8 since it seems to be dipping low every time I check rather than going up. Also I put these pumps back on 24 hrs per day because after two days of being on for 12 hours her day they seemed not as happy as they were prior. Lesson learned with that one no harm done so that's a good thing. The raspberry diesel is really taking up the space wonderfully in between the four plants in the corners and is becoming almost + shaped really filling in the canopy just like the description online says don't vegfor long because the flower phase stretch is something to behold. 818 headband number one has a really beautiful medium sized stature not too short but not tall and lanky either and tons of Bud sites and is looking the most bud-filled already whether that means it will have the most yield or be done the fastest, or both we'll have to wait and see., All three of the Gorilla Zkittles seem to have slightly different phenotype variation one a little bit more sativa than the other two that are more hybrid looking. All 3 have very different root masses compared to the rest of the plants and are pretty big but one in particular is absolutely huge. (Comparisons will be posted in next week's update.) the Boss hogs also seem to have very different phenotype expressions as of now one is staying much more short and having a very level canopy naturally and no hairs, while the other is close to a level canopy but still has a little bit of that main cola dominant feature as well as a lot more hairs. Thank you watching hope your enjoying, the best is yet to come !!😁😁
