Esa familia , estamos otra vez y aquí actualizo la quinta semana de floración de las BlueBerry Cheese del banco de semillas ZambezaSeeds. Estas tienen buen color y el proceso de floración es el correcto su progreso es increíble. Ahora empezaré a aplicar el ExplotaCogollos de Agrobeta que es Brutal como compacta las flores , palabra. Que ganas ya de acabar estos proyectos y empezar con cosas serias. Os adelanto que lo próximo que que viene son Gelato y Lava Cake, y después Titán F1. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

It was a good week, with some good growth. The ladies have settled in and are a starting to reach up. I’ve been keeping the environment steady at about 78 degrees, and 60-62% humidity. It goes down to about 70 degrees at night. I’ve been watering sparingly still, about 1 cup of water every third day. Near the end of the week they were getting 2 cups and have lasted more than two days without showing they are needing again. I decreased the light schedule to 18 hours, and they seem to be benefiting from the dark cycle, or less DLI. LST will start next week! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

77 days have passed very quickly, at the beginning of this week I was a little worried that something was wrong with the girl, but after talking to my Teacher, he explained to me that it is genetics that do not affect the general health of the plant and those dark purple leaves are not something wrong, this calmed me down and I continue to grow successfully, I have not had a purple variety yet :) this is my first lady like this :) from tomorrow - she will have more space in the growing box, which she will really like, soon she will face considerable defoliation, because there are really a lot of leaves and small branches :) good luck to everyone.

So first week of flower or pre flower maybe?? But whatever it is they are now outside and getting direct sunlight from about 10am to 4pm and loving it. They started off this week looking a little yellow on the new growth but by Wednesday all the leaves are nice and green. Got the day off tomorrow so think I'll do a light defol and have another look at the lst wires. The mother of this clone is about a week away from harvest (my first ever harvest!!) And she smells great, everytime I walk outside. Looking forward to a comparison, my first soil harvest and my first hempy 1 after another. So I just got 2 feeds in this week, had some rain which kept the coco moist for longer so now we wait. Thanks for stopping in 👍

La planta ya empezó su etapa de floración 🔥💪 En este caso hemos aplicado una pequeña cantidad de Monster Bloon de Grotek pulverizado para la creación de tricomas de forma foliar y con ello absorba todos los nutrientes posibles Hemos bajado la temperatura 2°C y la humedad 5% para su floración La malla de scrog esta haciendo muy bien su funcion y esta respondiendo fácilmente al entrenamiento. Esperemos que siga en esta línea 👌

Hello Growmies, As the seventh week of cultivation unfolds, our Watermelon Candy F1 Hybrids are dazzling in their mid-flowering stage, carrying a symphony of scents that entice the senses. Residing alongside their Epic Buzz and Red Banana Pudding counterparts, these plants are halfway through their flowering journey, with an anticipated five more weeks to reach full maturation. The Watermelon Candy specimens, exhibiting their genetic prowess, have embraced the halfway mark with a robust vigor, their canopies dense and vibrant. The sweet fragrance wafting from their flowering sites is indicative of the quality to come. With dense trichome production already visible, the promise of potent, flavorful buds is on the horizon. Plant #1 stands out with its substantial vertical growth and impressive bud structure, clearly benefiting from the steady environmental conditions provided by the Tent-X system. Plant #2, while slightly more subdued, showcases a well-balanced structure, promising a generous yield. Plant #3's wide-reaching canopy is a sight to behold, with each branch heavily laden with budding sites. This week's feeding schedule has been adjusted to a five-day interval, ensuring our plants receive the nutrients they need without overburdening them. The nutrient mixture remains a carefully calibrated blend of Alga Bloom, Sugar Royal, Power Roots, and Orca, providing a perfect balance to support their flowering needs. As we maintain the PPFD levels at a hearty 450-500, we continue to monitor and adjust our environment, ensuring that the VPD remains within the ideal range. The TrolMaster's data logs are a testament to our dedication, reflecting the precision with which we approach the cultivation process. Observing the photos, the plants display a unified strength and symmetry, thriving under our attentive care. The internodal spacing, the structure of the stems, and the onset of floral clusters all point towards a successful cultivation cycle. Looking ahead, we anticipate the continued development of these Watermelon Candy Hybrids, each day bringing us closer to a harvest that promises both quantity and quality. Our diligent efforts, combined with the collective wisdom of our community, continue to guide us toward a successful harvest. Stay lifted, Salokin

Unfortunately, the plants have numerous leaves which look unhealthy (discolored, droopy, crispy/decayed). I removed the 3-4 worst looking leaves from each plant every other day, although I know that can be harmful to autos. Started adding in "Sensi Cal" this week to hopefully rebound from potential mineral deficiencies. Still using Recharge microbes once a week. Nutrients are now being administered accurately and at 1/4 the recommended level. Despite the unhealthy state of the plants, the pre-flowering bud sites look pretty good to me. I'm happy to see healthy looking pistils. Needless to say, I'm very eager to get these girls back on track and looking vibrant and verdant ASAP.

Goodday growmies, Fire is growing slowly but very well..the nights are very cold (chilly) and the weather is still a bit unstable (temp range from 15-24C @day and 7-11C @night..) But on my garden table its always nice, when the clouds are gone, standing in the sun..😎👍 the pix are made in very early sunlight.. when its still chilly thats why her leaves are a bit curled down(i watered her yesterday, she is just waking up..😳) those will straighten up today, i promise 😇 (as u can see, leaves arealready curling in.. just by standing in sun for 15 minutes) I have sprayed her with neemoil-mix on 15-05 (8ml neemoil, with a bit of detergent so it sticks better(3 squeezes or something) and with 0.7 ltr luke warm water) Bc there are a lot of parasites on the loose..😡✊ a LOT of small spiders in my garden too i have to remove rags and strings a few times a day..or else she will be webbed in in a day!👹 outdoor growing is always challenging bc just have to share it all with nature.. (sigh) But i am @ home all day.. so lets GET IT ON!✊ happy growing for all 👊

10 September Harvest - see pictures. While some growers leave the plant whole when they cut, I do not. It is a personal preference and situational convenience if your a home grower. I chose to cut large, long branches, and remove any whole water leaves, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the bud formation. I don’t trim yet. This is done for a few of reasons: 1) It’s my last good close-up look at her until another 5 days or more, 2) I don’t want wet leaves drying on my buds if I can help it, and 3) I occasionally like being able to shine a small LED flashlight on the flowers while its drying. Mold is our greatest problem as growers, it can destroy a beautiful grow right up until the end process. Then I hang it in a dark closet, provide circulation and ventilation. Light and heat, anything above 80 degrees F, will start a break down in cannabinoids during the dry, it is ideal to stay away from both. I’m fortunate that a humidity level of 50- 55% and temperature of 65-70 degrees F is fairly consistent and easy to maintain. Anything below 60 degree F will prevent the adequate drying out of chlorophyll. Almost all my flower routinely take 5-7 days, some a little longer, to properly dry out. 15 September Trim - see pictures. First you’ll notice the buds have shrunk up to half their original size. This is just a fact that we growers have to deal with. Due to evaporation without uptake of water, it takes about 3 days for the chlorophyll to dry up, then slowly go through a chemical change. Along with the leaves, cannabinoids also begin a chemical change after 3 days called decarboxylation. A slow process where the THC level increases while curing. You want the leaf to be dry so they can be hand trimmed easily, but you do not want that bud so dry that it starts to fall apart in your hand. Try to handle carefully by the main stem to avoid touching the bud all together. A lot of these cut leaves will be covered with trichomes, good for making oils, or other products, it’s an option worth looking into keeping it. After trimming, I do separate a few premium flowers for my first smoq. Then loosely fill wide mouth quart mason jars with about 1 oz/28 gr of product per jar. I seal the lids for a few hours to determine what relative humidity they are at, see hygrometer pic, before making a decision to put in a 62% humidity control pack of my choice or to wait, then place in secure in a cool dark place with stable humidity and temperature. It is very important to then observe/burp or exchange the air as needed, up to several times a day, until 62% rh is achieved. Once your close to to your mark, put in your desired RH level control terpene shield. If you have a problem getting there: 1) it has dried out too much, no real solution, try to put several large cut stems left over from harvest into the jars with the buds to try and increase humidty, 2) it has not dried out enough, in this case no problem, just remove and dry out a little more. This is also a personal choice, some people like it drier in the 50% plus range. Whatever you do, research and preserve. At that time burping is no longer required. Cannabis will reach its peak potency potential at about 40 or so days into the cure. The finished product should be a perfect grind when cured correctly without clogging up your grinder, this could take a month. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure someone has grown something that they have not been able to grind. It can remain in this state for an easy 6 months with little change, locking in all the terpenes and potencies. All you need to do is occasionally check the product to ensure there are no molds. If your grow/harvest/cure techniques are good this should not be an issue. It would not be uncommon to find many cannabis strains will last, with small degradable change, for up to one year after being stored this way. Using an airtight glass container, controlled relative humidity, maintained low temperature, and kept in darkness will equal maximum shelf life. Always avoid direct sunlight and temperatures above 80 degrees F. The reasons I’ve ultimately chosen Deep Water Culture as a grow medium. Each has their own pros and cons indeed. I found the most efficient, less maintenance and ideal solution for my situation was DWC. Burdens to overcome depend on size up set-up; initial equipment cost, size of containers, ph monitors, air pumps, type of water to use-reverse osmosis, RO cost/set-up/maintenance, ways to transfer/change water and nutrients, what nutrients to use and schedules, takes several grows to learn and understand, a 1 year learning curv, easy to nutrient burn. The Benefits of growing in water; no dirt, no bugs, no diseases, rare nutrient deficiencies/toxicities, steady and rapid growth that enables the plant to reach its genetic potential. After harvest, there is about a 1 hour equipment cleanup, sterilization and turn around process before replanting. Cannabis will perform in so many different ways and mediums, no one way is the best and the best way is the one you are using, right. Chose what works for you in the long run. There will always be an initial cost in set-up. My advice if one were in need to cut corners, I would not recommend cheap lights. This single factor is the most critical, afford for the best. The notion that organic and water has a different taste, flavor and potency effect is absolutely debatable. The more we learn the better we grow and experience is always the best teacher. This is what works for me and my methods of growing in general from beginning to end. A BIG “Thank You” to everyone who stopped by to take a look. My next diary will start at the beginning of October 2023 with a Forbidden Runtz Auto. There will be minor differences during the grow. I enjoy Auto strains simply by what can be achieved in a short time. No matter the strain they will unveil one thing in common, the demand for attention. Many times over it is the anecdotal gardener that surmount plant scientist. Last should I mention, do not forget to stop and enjoy the fruits of your labour...

START WEEK 4/17/22 Not doing anything real crazy. Over time I seem to have removed most of the bigger fans. I am beginning to get an idea of how I want to defoliate what I want the canopy to look like. Having said that... these girls have been very hard to keep under control. I have definitely had some great OJT on my first grow and I still have a lot left to learn. All the plants are "icing up" real nicely, combined with the silver reflective walls everything looks and feels real CoooooooooooooL.🙏😱🙏 +I think the garden is doing well and overall is very healthy +ppm 1200 +pH 5.9 +temp and humidity are all over the place according to the passing cold fronts. The other day temp was 79 F and Humidity was 74% Today it is 54 F and 58 % *Ordering seeds today *Looking at one of the close ups, I think my plant looks like the description of Platinum OG that I have read about and viewed... I must be doing something right. Hey, the Neon Carrot colors are super pretty. *Oddly enough the smell is beginning to change... at least on the lemon tipped plant, from gas to fruity. Go figure. ? Out of Terpinator, might throw some Bud Candy at them. However, I may be getting close. AS ALWAYS ANY COMMMENTS, GOOD OR BAD, OR ADVICE, ONLY GOOD :) ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

Advertised 56 day flowering. Mad yellowing I think is root bound stress, over watering/under watering, magnesium deficiency... I have no idea. I top dressed with myco, azos, and a bunch of soil to give her some extra food for the last 3 weeks. I'm hoping it'll solve any issues. I'm going to put the airpot into a 7 gal cloth pot to try and relieve some root bound issues. I never intended for her to be this big in a 2 gallon... She was an auto after all that never flipped.

The budlets have fully developed and are now starting to fatten up. There hasn't been any deformed leafs or signs of nutes burn so the flush of distilled water from last week seemed to work so I'll b using 1/4 the the recommended dosage for there first feeding this week. Ap is really showing her purple color with the budlets and her sugar leafs. Blueberry is more potent smell so we will see what this week has in store.
