7/20 Went over this morning to plants soaking wet and heavy rain. Went back around 4pm and plants actually look really good. The rain has stopped for a bit and the girls looked great. Apart from some septoria leaves I needed to defoliate on the first plant I treated. I also noticed a few others on other plants so it's spreading albeit slowly. I treated the three in the middle with their second dose of Plant Doctor at 3tsp/1gal. One gallon administered to each plant via root drench. I think I may treat the other plant showing signs with a diy Dr. Zymes using citric acid as the active ingredient. That way I Gould start treatment right away without having to rely fully on plant doctor. Plus it would kill any pests. Ive seen damage but the birds do a number on them. I dont want to spray my plants with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have too. I shouldve replaced the pallets and cleaned the cage better. I think I did a good job sanitizing as I have no wpm. Just this septoria I probably got when the lady mowing the lawn cut all tjis fucking grass and blew it in my pen, throwing bird seed and I'm sure tons of disease into my grow bags. I literally had to harvest a bunch if fucking sunflowers. It looked like my plants had been mulched. Just with small disease carrying shrubs. At some point some of this stuff has to be on purpose. You CAN'T be that stupid. A couple kushes in the back look hungry. I think I may need to up my feed. I've written to much. I'll keep this updated. Thanks if you made it this far. 7/21 I guess it rained last night. Oh well. It was blue skies for hours before dark. It must've rained late/early morning. I'm sure the app of plant doctor will be fine. Like I said I'm considering using citric acid as a foliar spray to help with the septoria and clean up any pests. I don't have enough pests to warrant spraying. I just don't want to put all my eggs in the plant doctor basket. Today is overcast and windy. The wind has really assisted in spreading this virus. I remove anything I see infected immediately and since these plants are reveges they have plenty of leaves. Plants are really stretching. I know I talk about the septoria a lot but realistically if someone looked through my garden they'd have a hard time spotting it. I don't want to exaggerate the problem but I don't like dealing with ANY fungus or molds. 7/22 It was 55° this morning when I went over. I defoliated some septoria leaves and a few that were fading or damaged. I saw almost a whole leaf eaten so it's probably a good idea to move forward with citric acid. I can add that to the plants I've already treated with plant doctor. This is the first year it's been so noticeable. It's the reveg 10th planet that started this off. Oh well. I've dealt with MUCH worse. Plants LOOK good (other than septoria leaves (on bottom of plant). Today is water day for me but it's been raining and it's a lot cooler today. Bags still had weight to them. I want them to have a proper wet dry cycle. Temps top out at 75° so I'll monitor during the day and if something NEEDS WATER I'll give it to it. I'm suprised I have ZERO WPM. The septoria is much more identifiable but pm is usual present in these conditions bur I don't have a spot of it. I may do some defoliation today. I also need to add supports for flowering but one thing at a time. EDIT: Went over around noon. 70°. Bags seem to be holding weight (it was easier to tell as ONE plant was substantially lighter than the rest) so I decided to hold off on watering. At least until tonight. There are three plants (at least that are going to NEED water). They look phenomenal now though and we've had lots of rain. Plan is to go over later and get the light ones and mix the water for the others so I can administer it in the morning quickly. I have an early doctor's appointment but I don't to overwater or water unnecessarily just because. But when you grow alone sometimes you need to do things when your able. I have people there that would help if I asked. And I have before but its late . I'm very grateful. I defoliated quite a few septoria leaves. They were all from the bottom of the plant. A couole wete bottom interior. I know there are worse things to contend with but still a pain. EDIT #2 WENT BACK AT FOUR AND PLANTS LOOKED FANTASTIC AND STILL HELD WEIGHT. THE REVEG MK ULTRA IN EARLY FLOWER "MAY" HAVE STARTED TO DROOP AND "SEEMED" LIGHT. THE LARGE SPECIAL KUSH FUETHEST IN FLOWER BY THE DOOR WAS ALSO EXRRENELY LIGHT. I HAVE AN EARLY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT BUT DONT WANT TO OVER WATER MY PLANTS JUST BECAUSE IM IN A HURRY. ITS COOLER THIS WEEK. 70 TODAY AND HIGH OF 80 TOMORROW BUT DAD SAID THATS NOT UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. I MIXED UP ENOUGH WATER TO WATER EVERYTHING IN THE MORNING IF IT NEEDS IT. I HAVE AN IMPORTANT DOCTORS APPOINTMENT EARLY THAT WILL TAKE ME AWAY AND IM FEELING A LITTLE ILL SO I WANTED TO GET DONE WHAT I COULD TODAY. WATERED THE TWO THAT NEEDED IT WITH TWO GALLONS A PIECE (30GAL REVEG MK ULTRA AND THE BIG SPECIAL KUSH IN FRONT I DIDNT TOP THATS FLOWERING THE FASTEST. EVERYTHING ELSE CAN WAIT. 7/24 Surprisingly the plants still held weight this morning! The looked pretty good too! However its going to be highs in the 80's for the next 7 days. Since the plants still had some heft to them I watered everything just a gallon. I gave the 10s a half gallon and skipped the 50gal container plant. I think this is a good happy medium. I'm still seeing random septoria leaves but still no WPM. I defoliate daily sometimes a couple times. I need to get a minute to myself and add a foliar spray. I'll start with a dih Dr. Zymes while I'm looking into other products like bicilus (i have bt but its a different bicilus) or trichodermia. I need to feed sometime this week too. 7/25 Plants looked great this morning. I watered the 10th planet on the end that hadn't been watered in forever. I think I had been overwatering during those 100° days. I didn't water today as everything looks great and they don't seem to need it. I'll check later today. I did water the pink kush beside the 50 as it was much lighter (1/2 gal) to get it on par with the others. I'm starting to see pest damage as well so I think an app of Dr. Zymes would be a good idea. Both for pests and septoria. Plants are REALLY stretching. One special Kush is far ahead of the others. EDIT:WENT OVER AT NOON AND 4PM. PLANTS LOOKED GREAT APART FROM MIRE SEPTORIA ON THE 10TH PLANET. I NEED TO WATERING DIFFERENT IN THESE TEMPS. IT WAS BREEZY AND 80° BUT THE BAGS DIDNT FEEL TOTALLY LIGHT AND THE PLANTS LOOKED AWESOME! THE HUGE EARLY FLOWERING SPECIAL KUSH IS PRETTY DAMN LUGHT BUT ITS PRAYING AMD LOOKING GREAT. I DECIDED TO WATER AND FEED IN THE MORNING AND HOPFULLY APPLY A DR. ZYMES PRODUCT ON THE ENTIRE GARDEN IN THE EVENING. PLANTS LOOK HUNGRY AND I HAVE RANDOM PESTS. ITS MOSTLY FOR THE FUNGACIDE ASPECT. PLANT SOCTOR SEEMS TO BE WORKING GREAT ON TWO OUT OF THE THREE I USED IT ON. THE THIRD IS A REVEG AND HAS TONS OF FOLIAGE I NEED TO ADDRESS AND CLEAN OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SPIT OFF SOME SEPTORIA LEAVES A DAY OR TWO BEFORE ANOTHER APP IS DUE. I'M LOOKING INTO MY OPTIONS. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE A SURE DIRE WAY TO DEAL WITH LEAF SEPTORIA IN EARLY FLOWER HIT ME UP! IM NOT TOO WORRIED THOUGH. I CAN SUPPRESS IT ENOUGH IF I HAVE TO EVEN IF I GOTTA SPRAY THE LEAVES WITH THAT 9.0PH ALKALINE WATER. 7/26 Supposed to be REALLY hot with thunderstorms. I watered the two thirstiest with a gallon and a half. Everything else got a gallon (but the 10th planet on the end that was still heavy and the 50). I fed everything too. I SHOULD'VE done the DIY Dr. Zymes spray but I wanted to keep feeding and adding an unknown foliar spray seperate in case of any reactions. A day before plant doctor is due to be applied again the 10th planet in the 20 starts showing signs of septoria again. I've defoliated quite a few septoria leaves. I'm not giving up. I assume I'll do something tonight and I MAY just look to see what I can find on Amazon. Luckily my plants still look beautiful. I hope it continues and I can stay on top of it. 7/27 Wow everything looked amazing this morning. EVERYTHING. The runt in the 50 has septoria but it was such nice fine Kong branches. I haven't treated tjat plant with anything. Plant Doctor app is due tomorrow. That product is working wonders and saving my crop. I'll pull a leaf or two here or there but this keeps it suppressed at least. For the most part. I think I might just treat everything with preventative doses and ANYTHING I've seen with a spot a cure dose (even though I know it's not "cured" but it's "supressed"). Plants I think are almost over the stretch. I have one special kush pheno that is much further in flower than the others. I can't wait to see what the flowers look like. EDIT: WENT OVER AT FOUR TO CHECK ON THE GIRLS. THE REVEGS ARE A LITTLE DROOPY AND A LITTLE LIGHT BUT THEY CAN MAKE IT UNTIL MORNING. IM SURPRISED BY THE DIMINISHOMG NUMBER OF SEPTORIA LEAVES IM SEEING AND IM WONDERING IF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO SO WITH THE CUT DOWN ON WATER. IM CONSIDERING TREATING EVERYTHING IN THE GARDEN TOMORROW WITH AT LEAST A PREVENTATIVE DOSE. IM STILL PLANNING ON DOING THE DIY ZYMES NEXT WEEK THAT WAY IT ATTACKS IT ON BOTH FRONTS. TOMORROW WILL BE THE THIRD APPLICATION FOR THE 10TH PLANET REVEG. I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR MY GARDEN AND HAVING THE TIME TO MAINTAIN IT. IM SUPRISED I DONT HAVE PM THIS YEAR BUT THERES NOT ONE SINGLE SPOT. KNOCK ON WOOD. IF I DO ZYMES ILL PROBABLY HOLD OFF ON BT. ITS EARLY FLOWER. THE MAKE IT OR BREAK OT TIME. THE TIME ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN RUIN YOUR YEAR COME REARING THEIR UGLY HEAD. IM GOD THOUGH. THIS YEARS GOING TO BE GREAT. I CAN FEEL IT. IT IS DONE.

On day 6 week 4 She is putting out alot of pistills and budlets no smell yet.flowering is deff underway now. This is looking like a 10 week strain as she took almost 4 weeks to start budlets which I usually see around week 2-3.

Die Blüten werden fetter und riechen sehr lecker. Bis auf Wasser gießen und ein bisschen Ackerschachtelhalm Tee füttern musste ich nicht viel machen.

Esta semana realizamos transplante a maceta de 3L, también pasamos a darles las dosis máximas recomendadas de la línea de fertilizantes, estoy regando cada 2 o 3 días con 300cc. Espero se adapten bien y las raíces sigan explotando. En estos días haré las podas, se vienen para el prox seguimiento. #sweet mango; Royal Life #dark; Royal Life #gelato; Benditatuseed #zkittle; Benditatuseed Buenos humos.

Hope she fattens up.

This week, you'll find the HARVEST of Blueberry Crumble Autoflowering #2. If the first plant already gave us an idea of ​​the great quality of this strain, the second one gave us an excellent harvest of equally high quality. The plant has a bushy appearance and was trained with a single topping at the 4th internode, without mainfolding, but leaving two more internodes below with their branches and offshoots. I then trimmed everything that seemed to be too low and turning light green from too little light, and here we have a great, resinous harvest, full of dense, succulent flowers. Pot and Soil - This plant was grown in a 20-liter pot with Plagron's BiloLight Mix organic soil. Lighting - The Zamnesia Phytonaut 480W LED lamp, used from mid-flowering onwards, allowed fruiting. We achieved a PPFD (photosynthetically active photon flux density) between 800 and 1200 μmol/m²/s, with a cycle of 24 hours, then 23 hours, then 20 hours, and finally 18 hours.

GoodTimesOrganics Welcome Back liebe Community 🌱💚 White Noise von Paradise Seeds! Ich liebe ihr Wuchsverhalten! 🍀 Sie ist nun 100cm hoch und knapp 50cm bis 55cm breit! Echtes 1:2 Verhältnis. Das ist genial. Ich stehe auf Symmetrie 😂 🌱Wachstumstag: 56 | 🌺 Blütetag: 7 Die achte Woche ist vorbei und die Pflanze zeigt wie vermutet eher einen moderaten Stretch! Ich muss sagen so mit den Jahren kann man am Wuchsverhalten ziemlich gut ablesen, wie ein Strain stretchen wird 😉 Ich defoliere die Pflanze immer nur ein wenig, so dass die innen liegenden Seitentriebe besser beleuchtet werden und habe damit sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Ihr solltet immer bedenken, dass die Pflanze nie etwas so produziert was keine natürliche Sinnhaftigkeit hat. Daher Vorsicht beim defolieren! 🍀 Ein schöner solider Stamm mit schön abstehenden Seitentrieben. Ihre Höhe liegt jetzt bei knappen 100cm. Somit +15cm in der vergangenen Woche! Die Pflanze performed sehr schön und ich kann ihr Blüteverhalten echt seit langem Mal wieder kaum erwarten. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell top und in der Blüte, wird dass Licht ist hochgefahre. ————— 🌞 Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 1,10 kPa 💡ppfd: 630 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Week was good alot off leaves...about to start flushing soon maybe in a week or soo ..

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Fishy Zoap de Seedstockers, que ganas que tenia ya de darles tijeretazo. Que variedad , me encantó cultivarla , sacaron unas flores alucinantes. Las flores aparte de piedras, se ven resinosas, son muy pegajosas, desprenden olores dulces. a sido una genética recién salida este 2026 con la que disfruté bastante, no fue muy complicada cultivarla. Os la recomiendo si os gustan las genéticas con alto thc. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: Eldruida https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

Definitely don't do what I did and manifold this strain, it grows too short and indica like for that! I think these would do really well in a SOG or with low stress training 💪 Once again the taste and smell is godlike, this is a very special diesel strain. 10/10!

This was the final vegetation week. Retied some of the training. Two branches snapped in the process. Mend with tape. Affected branch seems to be recovering. During the week they withered a bit. Added 500ml of water with no effect. Increased the distance from light from ~25cm to ~38cm. Next day they looked more stiffened and rigid.

Bulk time, just kidding the chocolope is still growing upward and stacking jesus.

SUMMARY: I've stuck with the transition nutes this week to try and squeeze every last drop of veg growth I can out of her. She's very bushy and needs defoliating really though I am hesitant to as I worry it stunts her development though I have removed around 20% of her leaves that were dying or blocking bud sites and could not be tucked. There are still too many leaves and tucking daily is time consuming but I dont want to mess with her too much. The RH of the tent is stable around 45-55% now and so I have turned the humidifier off. DAY 37 ------ Friday 29th January 15:00 I TURNED THE HUMIDIFIER OFF COMPLETELY AS RH IS AT 55-60% AT 25% POWER. Friday 29th January 18:20 I fed Jesus 2.6L as that was the last of the transition nutes I had made and yesterdays 2L didnt cut it. This produced 920ml runoff (35%). I think that's all her shoots popped now and so it was just a case of adjusting them today. There are 12 shoots I have tied down all reaching out to the sides of the pot evenly spaced and then theres 3 in the middle so that's a total of 15 tops that if I'm lucky and all goes well and the Gods smile upon me will all fill out into nice long colas. [23°C/57%] DAY 38 -------- Saturday 30th January 12:00 I made 5L of transition nutes with rainwater at a pH of 5.9. Saturday 30th January 19:00 I fed Jesus 2.2L of transition nutes which produced only 50ml runoff (2%). Some more slight adjustments on the LST to keep the canopy as flat as possible. Shes really showing pistils now which makes me wonder if she's actually finished her pre-flower growth spurt in which case I may have fucked up and overdone the LST...I dunno DAY 39 -------- Sunday 31st January 18:30 I fed Jesus 2.4L of transition nutes which produced only 200ml runoff (9%) which is good as I believe she is going through her final growth spurt now and is drinking more. I removed 2 large fan leaves that were covering the entire centre of the plant and couldnt be tucked. This has made a huge difference and opened the lower canopy up to more light. DAY 40 -------- Monday 1st February 11:00 I made 5L of trans nutes at a pH of 6.1 and 5L of increased strength week 3 nutes (extra 0.4ml of each nute) at a pH of 6.1. Monday 1st February 18:00 I fed Jesus 3L of transition nutes which produced 890ml runoff (30%). She is showing a lot of pistils now and I'm concerned shes finished vegging which isnt too good as I could do with a little more vertical growth. [23°C/49%] DAY 41 -------- Tuesday 2nd February 11:40 I made 10L of transition nutes with rainwater at a pH of 6.0. Tuesday 2nd February 18:00 I fed Jesus 3L of transition nutes which produced 800ml runoff (27%). I lowered the odd branch. It looks like the veg growth is slowing down now. [22°C/59%] DAY 42 -------- Wednesday 3rd February 18:30 I fed Jesus 3L of transition nutes which produced 660ml (22%). Shes a beast drinking 3L per day now. I defoliated removing around 20% of the plants leaves, strictly removing older unhealthy ones, ones hanging over the edge that were burnt to a crisp by the heater, and then ones covering bud sites that I couldnt tuck. [23°C/54%] DAY 43 -------- Thursday 4th February 18:00 I fed Jesus 3L of transition nutes which produced 800ml runoff (26%). I have removed a couple more leaves and ensured the bud sites are open to light. [23°C/56%]

Ok, so it's slowly getting thicker and frostier. At week seven my girl could be ready in anywhere from two weeks to four weeks more. The light was dropped closer to the top of the canopy. I decided to try 15 cm of distance, as well four 50W LEDs are not as powerful as the 600W HID or LED panels that are usually used in grow tents. I will of course keep an eye for signs of light and heat stress, but I suspect that won't be a problem. Update Day 89. Today I decided to turn the plant around to see the back colas and their growth. Then I found some mites under the leaves after examining weird spots in a couple of leaves. It seems to me that there was not enough airflow to deter the mites from making home in the back leaves, when compared to the front leaves of my plant. Lesson learnt, rotate plant often, ensure good and even airflow. I didn't find any webs beside a really small one seen on the video (most affected leaf). So, I think I found them mites early. I only found this kind of damage on very few leaves, and each leave contained less than 8 mites (at least that I could see) and a couple of eggs. So it seems that paying close attention to my leaves saved me from an out of control infestation. Anyhow... I removed all of the leaves that had even a single mite, or a single mark of discoloration. Also, I disinfected the grow tent, top of soil and lower part of the branches by spraying them with a 1/4 tbsp of bleach per liter of water. After that was completely dry, I mixed one part rubbing alcohol with 9 parts water and misted both sides of the leaves and even the buds directly (ethanol evaporates easily, so there shouldn't be residues left after it dries completely). I got these remedies from https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/how-to-get-rid-of-spider-mites I will apply them every 3-4 days and keep a good eye on the leaves. Prevention is key, and some aspects I could've considered before are: 1. not grow any other plant next to my cannabis 2. Don't come into my indoor growtent after tending my outdoor plants. 3. Ensure even and plenty airflow. So, I attacked back strongly. I cut more leaves than those that showed damage, to increase airflow. I will be on the watch for pests and will rotate my plant often, as well as spraying a few times every week, just to make sure they don't come back. I also am going to build a kind of metal wire cage to separate the colas further and make it harder for any pest to spread. Its only my second grow, but from what I've read online about mites, it's way more costly (time and money) to deal with an infestation than to strike them hard early. I guess that specially now that I noticed them before they even made webs. Look closely at your girls growbros ! Update day 90. So this morning I. Becker the trichomes and they seem to have gotten more cloudy. I am not an expert at that, but they are starting to be fewer clear and more milky. I will keep an eye on them, but it think harvest might be here very soon, probably closer to the 9 week mark than to the 12 week one (I'm about to finish the 7th week)...

I had a good week, defoliated any yellow leaves I saw, let the soil dry completely and then flushed her a little. This plant isn’t the most resilient plant I’ve worked with, having more trouble than I’d like.

Week 13 – Day 91 / FLO 63 🌞 Temp: 24°C 💦 RH: 44% 💥 PPFD: 700 µmol 🌬️ VPD: 1.6 ⚡ EC: 0.2 💦 H2O: 800ml/24h Good nutrient control throughout the entire grow, I managed to completely eliminate nitrogen at the end, which makes me really happy, because the final taste will be much better. SHe have nice frosty buds with some fresh gasy flowering and citurs aroma. I do what i can to bring her to ripening but looks like we need a couple days more. SHe start drinking a little less soo we must be close. 👻👻👻

Last few weeks of the Dank Berry she filled house with smell 😘. So far she done very good and is easy to grow.As all anesia seeds she like nitrients. Waiting some more before flush as buds are still getting fatter.
