I Did 5 in paper towel and 3 directly in dirt so far 4 out of 5 in paper towel 2 out of 3 in soil both in cool dark place. I will check remaining two in a few days ILGM GSCE AUTO

(12/09-12/15, days 42 to 48) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 5 Notes & Observations: Topped both plants and starved for 11 days. The idea being that I want the roots to search out new space and expose more root growth to the nutes in the soil to better help in the growth after the training rather than just the recovery. I made a decision on P2 and decided to keep both sides for a total of 8 colas on each plant since but topping day P2 was looking way better and showing nice re-growth. I recognize that growth will be stunted on the damaged side, but I want to see by how much in case I do it again in the future. Neither plant broke on this last training and bot seem in good health. I am however monitoring a possible calcium deficit and treating with CaliMagic. - inspected defoliated fan leaves and discovered Spider Mites - treated with Captain Jack's Deadbug concentrate mixed into 1 cup of purified water - sprayed tops and bottoms of leaves on all plants inside that tent. Will have to retreat again in 3 days, and possibly again after that. ***from label*** LAWNS AND ORNAMENTALS: Use Site Pests Controlled Comments outdoor ornamentals (herbaceous and woody plants) emerald ash borer gall midges leaf feeding beetles leafminers sawfly larvae spider mites1 thrips worms, including loopers, webworms, bagworms, gypsy moth, and tent caterpillars Uniformly spray foliage to point of runoff. Uniform coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces is essential for effective insect control. Apply when spider mites are first observed prior to webbing and before mite populations have become severe. Reapply after 7 to 10 days (3 to 5 days in greenhouses and structures that can be altered to be closed or open) to contact newly hatched nymphs and repeat until infestation is managed. Uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces is critical. VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity in the tent to about 70-75% and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime and 66-71F overnight. Im adjusting my lights and look to control them at ~400ppfd max. Meaning slight increase over last week but mostly just growth increase. Feed & Monitor: ***All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios of each feed will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 2. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5.*** Day 44 (last feed was day 34) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, both P1 and P2 weighed 11lbs 2oz before feed. Each plant got 1.5 gallon of purified water with 362ppm Veg Mix concentrate (recipe on week 2) and 106ppm Bloom Mix concentrate (recipe on week 5). The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.1ph to combat the original higher runoff ph from the previous runoff feed tests. After feed, both P1 and P2 weighed 19lbs 2oz after feed this time (P1 was 22lbs 3oz and P2 weighed 21lbs 14oz after last feed). I got about 8cups of runoff on both P1 and P2 this time (both plants gave up 5 cups of runoff last feed). Runoff for P1 ph was 6.3 with 906ppm (6.45 with 1170ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.4 with 814ppm 6.45 with 1230ppm last feed). Top soil tested at: P1 6.23,6.21,6.26,6.27 for an avg of 6.24 (6.327 avg after last feed) and P2 tested at 6.4,6.39,6.25,6.46 avg 6.37 (6.402avg after last feed) - next feed will be 6.3ph as Im liking where the ph is now and I dont see any issues from feed or training.

Starting to ripen up probably another week or two on gorilla glue and strawberry pie the grapefruit is just now packing on bud so I’d say maybe 4-5 weeks left on grapefruit. Little bit of amber showing on the gorilla glue. Mostly clear yet on the strawberry pie. Overall happy with gorilla glue and strawberry pie. Grapefruit not so impressive yet. The smell is quite strong at this point and is getting stronger by the day with the really sweet notes of strawberry and the earthy medicinal smell of the gorilla glue.

Bene amici growers come potete vedere la fioritura procede senza molti problemi. Ho innaffiato le piante per la prima volta con una soluzione adatta alla fioritura e ora staremo a vedere come pian piano cominceranno a gonfiarsi i nostri amati fiori. Le piante iniziano ad emanare un profumo inebriante, le Durban posion stanno già assumendo un colore violaceo mentre le critical sembrano un po' più in dietro. Vi ringrazio anticipatamente nel caso lasciate un like!!

*Will be topping them to find out Sex in straight 12/12 cloner hopefully we get more females than males. * Will update journal later *Ignore everything untill tomorrow *So I cut them and put them straight into 12/12 the clones that is to show me Sex. *You could see the hollow hole in the stem I wonder if that’s gonna cause an issue.

Week 2 – Still tiny Not much going on yet – she's still really small. Growth is good and she looks healthy so far. Just starting to show her second set of true leaves. No signs of stretching or stress, just taking her time. Hopefully she picks up momentum in the next few days. Sometimes the slow starters end up surprising you later on

Day 92. Trim day. Wet trim chosen. Result could be better, but 100 will be reached I guess for sure ;))) Day 101. My friend has new record ! Not bad for screw up run ;))))) Happy Growing !!!

So in the last couple of weeks I tried to make the night time temperature go down enough for them to turn color and they did - the sugar leaves turned a deep bluish green, really nice coloring! I harvested over a 2-day period. Day 1 I hand-plucked the sugar leaves off plants # 1, 2, & 3. Day 2 I hand-plucked plants 4 & 5, trimmed all of them and cut them down whole. I hung them to dry in my closet/former grow room with a boot tray of water with a towel for evaporation. My last grow was a disappointment in the end due to me not realizing how dry it is in the house (here in the living room it's 19% RH due to it being January in Canada and the hot water heating radiators are going full time). When they were dry enough, I did the final trimming, removing all the waste and dividing the buds into 2 classes: Top tier which are the nice tops of the big colas, and 2nd tier, which are the rest. I think I'll learn to make hash with the 223 grams of wet sugar leaves. I'll be adding more to this final entry in the coming days - this has been really tiring! Final numbers for 5 ShishkaBerry plants: Top tier buds (dried not cured) 372g 2nd tier buds (dried not cured) 150g Hand plucked sugar leaves (wet) 223g Waste (Sticks, stems, burnt leaf tips) 128g I'm basing my comments on the taste by the glove-hash I smoked - wow it's really good! I'm looking forward to next month when these buds will be ready to enjoy 😁 I'd like to thank all my new friends here and the other growers that have helped me along the way 😚 Finally, I left you with an outtake video from one of the defoliation sessions 😺 Stay tuned for updates... UPDATE 1: Today I might have made some tincture or something, not sure. I slow-roasted the dried but not cured previously hand plucked sugar leaves and crumbled them up and put them in a mason jar (51 grams 100% dry weight) and added a little bottle of Absolut Vodka (375 ml). I shook the mixture vigorously for a couple of minutes then placed it in a cool area of the house to sit for a few weeks before a first test - not totally sure what I'm doing here). UPDATE 2: Possibly made Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) out of the Alsolut vodka - ShishkaBerry mixture: I strained it so that there was no plant material, reduced it in a double boiler style, not sure what to do with the gooey stuff that's left as a result.

PPM is actually ~3000, and she still feels ok about it.

10th December Increased the EC to 2.75…the plant is looking healthy so far and developed the first Trichomes 🤩

Last days for the harvest👽👽

Ein beeindruckender Platzmangel machte sich am ersten Tag der finalen Vegetationsphase im Zelt bemerkbar, da die beiden vitalen Genetiken den Raum fast vollständig einnahmen. Um den bevorstehenden Stretch optimal zu nutzen und für eine perfekte Luftzirkulation zu sorgen, wurde kurz vor der Lichtumstellung eine gezielte Entlaubung durchgeführt und ein sauberes Lollipoping im unteren Bereich umgesetzt. Die beiden Ladys haben diesen letzten Feinschliff hervorragend weggesteckt und präsentieren sich mit einer perfekt geöffneten Struktur sowie ideal freigelegten Triebspitzen, die nun bereit sind, ungehindert in die Höhe zu schießen. Das bewährte Nährstoffsystem liefert weiterhin fehlerfrei ab, sodass die Pflanzen vor Energie strotzen und die Basis für die anstehende generative Phase absolut meisterhaft gelegt ist.

Woooo! I kicked off the first week of the flower by mixing together and applying a topdress consisting of worm castings, biochar, insect frass, kelp meal, neem meal, alfalfa meal, mustard meal, soft rock phosphate, malted barley, palm ash, basalt, rock dust, gypsum, and leonardite. I also added yellow sticky traps to see if there are any bugs around, since I haven’t even seen a single fungus gnat during the entire grow.

Day 17 and she is growing nicely, but hope the side branching will pick up a bit for training. Keep freaking out thinking I have mites again but I don’t see them on my leaves. Plus I think I have grasshoppers nibbling on all my gals leaves. As of Saturday Fozzy Bear (we wanted it Fozzie but official paper work says otherwise) joined the family and his new big brother Buddy. He has already grown a few inches since we got him but god is he ever cute, and god bless Buddy for taking his playful shit since

Unicornpoop cross grows very nice, good branching since topping. Very structured

Day 78 (September 2): Still just regular waterings with 25ml per 10L of FloraBloom to try and help with the Potassium Deficiency. Day 81: Another feeding again today. Everything is looking very healthy. Some yellowing from the nitrogen cut off but I expected that. Day 83: Another watering. These girls are drinking heavy right now! Looking fantastic.

Guys, it's week 8 and the Purple seem to be ready to be at the en of flowering stage... I am really excited, but so afraid of doing a mistake... I Will now flush her for 1 week of two maybe depending on me receiving my microscope on time! For the amazing master KUSH, it is going well for the big one, budding seriously. Her Lil sis is not going that well we'll see! Enjoy my little video, if you like it please let me know and hit the like button :) Love and peace ✌️✌️✌️

Mal alle Tanks mit Wasser ausgetauscht …

She seems to be bulking up still but aiming to chop her down with the rest then I can use my tent to dry and hopefully improve the taste ✌️🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💚
