Still drying up from last week flush, so no ferts. Will start again next week as soon as the soil is ready to accept new water. I removed all the lower branches that couldn’t reach the light and I moved the ceramic heat lamps in the bottom of the grow box to help the drying process of the soil. But the big news is that she finally started flowering! And this was the last who still was stuck in pre-flowering phase 😃

Today officially starts week 4 of flower.. - The best part of my day is waking at 530am to open my tent and get a big whiff of that beautiful aroma. MMMM. Gave the girls a good watering this morning and picked out some dying vegetation from under the canopy to keep things clean. Humidity is still a bit low, but with all the vegetation in there I don't mind. I'd literally cry if I got bud rot or some crap like that. - I noticed that the critical kush stems seem kind of of flimsy compared to the other strains. No doubt it smells amazing, but as she puts on more weight it's likely to become a problem. Maybe I should consider silica on the next run.?! Of the 3 kiwi skunk phenos, only one seems to be producing any significant tricombs or smell. The other two look as though they will be good yielders, however, I seriously doubt any real potency. - Of the 9 plants I currently have growing, I would expect I'll probably only keep 3, maybe 4. There's no point wasting time on mediocre bud. - I think the pheno hunt is the best part of the growing process. Every seed is like having a new child. Sometimes, they grow up to be such beautiful creatures. Other times, you can tell their clock ain't ticking right. You can end up with fat high powered coals or those small, no good popcorn buds. And, at the end of the day, unlike kids and wives, you can throw them away and not feel sorry for ordering new replacements online when you get tired of their BS. - - - I love that my tent is right next to my desk. It's the best view anyone could ever ask for! 😍 - Went through today and pulled out a small bit of water leaves to increase airflow from the bottom up to the top, as well as to allow the light to reach deeper in to the canopy. I don't get too crazy with the plucking. Only if its covering another cola or overlapping causing moisture to build up on the leaves. It works well, in my case, to keep the humidity down and limits places for any potential pests to hide while flowering. I usually pull out a handful every other day or so. - - Switched my center light (600w) down to 50% (flower spectrum only) on the 28th. With all of my lights on full spectrum, there's more than enough light for the plants (~1200w eq). I noticed new pistils emerging that shouldn't be and I fear it's causing light stress and/or foxtailing to the critical kush, which is directly in the center of the tent. Since it happened on my last grow with the blue dream and it's not inherently genetic, I'll err on the side of caution this time around.

Beginning flush, its actually week 12 I think. Missed 2 week's to the flu. The girl's went through some rough patches but not looking to bad considering my issues with LED lost two weeks of prime flowering, had to substitute CFL's for 2 weeks

Welcome to the next week of great adventure with young gorillas. The beginning of the week I started with a small flush with tap water at pH 6.3. I intend to change the 150W HPS lamp to brand new 250w plantstar this week. In next few days gonna use pk 13/14 One love for everyone 🌱🐒🌱🐒🌱🐒 P.S: mobile application is terrible, it is very difficult to update something, it always gets stuck during the upload of photo, no upload percentage. Already twice made me mess up the whole week EDIT: Additional HPS mounted 250w plantastar. Unfortunately, after purchasing the wattmeter, I discovered that my LED consumes only 220w of guaranteed 350w. I'm thinking about giving it back for a guarantee. The current energy consumption of the entire project is 810w / h

Seen some good progress over the last week. Have been tinkering with water cycles. Got it up to 3 x 15min cycles in a 24 hour period, but i think I'm going to go back to two 15min cycles in 24hrs because she seems to wilt a bit in the morning. I'm wondering if the cycle an hour before lights out is too much. I've reset the cycles to 15min an hour after lights on and again 8 hours later for 15 min. I'll see if that improves things. I'm also going to change the reservoir for a fresh batch of water, nutrients and ph balance today or tomorrow. I've also got a sister plant on the go, but she's about a week behind in growth as she germinated later. She's also doing well, but obviously smaller than her big sister.

Hi GD! Welcome to week 8 above soil! The above feed applies to most mature plant only, the other 3 are on last weeks feed till they catch up. Busy week! Invested in a new 1200w LED to try and replace my 600 w setup. I've thought about temp issue's and bought a 120w tubular heater which you can see in the pics. Works great keeping root zone warm, floor dry and gives off a nice but not intense warm to warm the plants. I've used it for 24 hours and can see the plants have stopped slumping when its gets too cold outside. The led is set up! Gunna review the flower period l. Oh and I flushed the runt. 20l of phed water. Has tips burnt and is a runt so it makes me think lockout. So she's been drowned and now back next to the tube to recover lol. Oh and we supercropped a 2nd plant Thanks for watching! UPDATE! !!! Found about 6 banana's on the early flowers! I'm very shocked! I'm also concerned about the fact that the one that's hermed, is the only one out the four that's started flowering. All same age. I think a 8 week veg period is long for any auto. So I'm worried about these three now. Are they photo periods?? That's what they look like! My excitement for these girls (well 3.5 girls) has gone, and rained on my parade over the new LED.... Will update with progress.

Ciao Bros e Sis! CIAO! : D Ok, let's see how these girls are... Royal AK - she seems like to be the queen of this grow. Strong, fast, and resistant. I will transplant her in a 11lt Airpot with coco, new thing for me! Candy Kush - she's fine, for real. Topped Special Kush #1 - Good, but she's a little "tiny", don't you think? Speedy Chile - well, she's growing fine, but had some kind of genetics problem, maybe... She's topped herself 😅 Ocean Gangster Kush - Nice, even if the colors are strange, and some leaf have wrinkles, let's see how she will grow. Coco also for her, in the future. Pink Doctor CBD - the oldest on is growing, but I don't get where she want to go, really! The other bean has popped, so let's hope in no problem for her UK Cheese auto - guys, she's really strong and fast! Developing preflowers at day 22 from pop! I want to leave all the questions aside and try some HST on this auto, I've never trained an auto before! That's all, for now. Come back for the next update, meanwhile stop and have a chat with me, mates! Ciao!

Hi Bros&Sis! CIAO! :D I've almost missed this week, this time, but don't worry, here we are! Let's talk about the girls, they are fine, except for Pink Doc CBD (see photo) I don't know what happened, but she's born this way, anyhow, I've already put another bean, just to be sure. This is the TOP/FIM week for my babies (almost all of them), also made a video, let me know what you think, I'm still learning things about growing As usual, ciao and stop to say something, mates! 😉

Most eventful thing this week was getting invaded by strayan wildlife! I left the tent open with the portable air con running just outside it cause we had a few days of 35C+ weather, was the only way to keep it cool in there. Next morning there were 20 odd flies and a skink in the tent. Took me two days to get the skink out - I was dropping water on the floor for him to drink which he seemed to appreciate, but the slippery little sucker just didn't want to be caught! Got him eventually though, he made it outside safely. :) Also FYI watching skinks wee is hilarious, both the back legs come off the ground and they do a little wiggle. The 4 Assed Monkey seemed unaffected :P Starting to get some chunk slowly!

Euphoria is a superior blend of selective heredity between the popular cannabis strains of Royal Medic and Shark Shock. Royal Medic is a strain of cannabis that owes the majority of its genetics to the Juanita la Lagrimosa and is recognized as one of the high CBD strains and those genetics have been passed on to Euphoria. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 450 - 500 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 450 - 500 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 120 - 150 cm Flowering: 8 weeks Harvest month: Early October Genetic Background: Great White Shark x CBD dominant plant Type: Sa 20% In 80% Ru 0% Effect: A motivating and inspiring feeling Climate: Mild -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 19 Day 7 Now I definetly have realized the importance of right pH-level, my old pH-meter clearly didn't work. The new pH-meter showed 8.1 in my regular tapwater, way too high. So now the buds has started to grow again, they were purple earlier and now since she got water and nutes with right pH-level, the buds are turning back to green. And I also added some more nutes to her menu, 2018-02-03 Added some pics of the grow room after I cleaned the floor and putting the girls back in, and also added a video of the reality of a grower having some problems with too high pH-level. Since I'm still a novice growing cannabis I learn new things everyday, and hopefully the next round will be more or less perfect - perfection needs practice.

My second growroom is built and the girls have moved in. Medical Mass is a new medical cannabis strain with a high CBD content and a low THC level that provides good medical properties without a strong psychoactive effect. This is a mostly indica plant that contains 40% sativa and 60% indica. Critical Mass and CBD rich strain were crossed to create this amazing valuable variety. The plant suits both for indoors and outdoors, for beginner and experienced growers. The strain grows up to 60 - 100 cm tall and produces good yields for such height of about 500 - 550 gr/m2. The plant demonstrates great results even in small spaces. The flowering time takes only 7-8 weeks and the harvest comes in late September. The smoke brings very strong, intense flavors with sweet notes of honey and skunk and an intense pleasant relaxation. Medical Mass is the great choice for each medical user due its small height, ease of growing, fast flowering and of course great medical potency. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 19 Day 7 Now I definetly have realized the importance of right pH-level, my old pH-meter clearly didn't work.

My second growroom is built and the girls have moved in. This new strain combines two well-received parents, Juanita la Lagrimosa (Spanish for "Juanita the Tearful") and Royal Highness, which are themselves genetic hybrids of other precursor strains: Juanita the Tearful from Queen Mother and a Mexican-Afghan blend; Royal Highness from Dance Hall and Respect 13. On and on the strains date back in agricultural time, each new variety with its own unique smell, taste, color, high and medical benefit. However, in the past decade, a goal of all this tinkering has been what some producers are starting to call “Royal Respect” with the soul of marijuana's benefits going toward both body and mind. Painkiller XL is notable for its near-equal representation of 6 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and 7 percent cannabidiol (CBD), achieved by a seed that's 70 percent sativa and 30 percent indica. While the sativa variety of cannabis is widely known for producing more of a mental, cerebral high, and indica has a reputation for contributing more toward its physical high, other factors are more important to consider: THC is the compound given most of the credit for that head high, with CBD takes the credit for marijuana's many proven medicinal benefits, which range vastly from relieving pain, anxiety, migraines, fibromyalgia and even mad cow disease to easing many of the most deleterious symptoms of AIDS, diabetes, epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. These are just a handful of the dozens of ailments marijuana is being prescribed to combat by doctors across the globe and in more than a dozen U.S. states. Cooperatives at medical marijuana dispensaries have been at the forefront of providing CBD-rich cannabis buds and oils for their patients, who undoubtedly appreciate being able to purchase the strain best-suited to ease their particular ailments. This new strain joins others rich in both CBD and THC like Euphoria, Royal Medic, Medical Mass and Danceworld that seek to actually not necessarily downplay cannabis' psychoactive effects in favor of optimizing its healing role, but instead equalize the two. According to the California-based Steep Hill Cannabis Analysis Laboratory, this equalization brings to the cannabis user not just the physically healing aspects, but also the spiritually and psychologically healing benefits as well. There are other strains with very little THC and more CBD than Painkiller XL , but rare are such splendid balances. Producers of this strain say it produces a considerable amount of pain relief, with a mild, relieving mental euphoria. With a flowering time of eight weeks, the Painkiller XL seed can produce 525 to 575 grams per plant indoors. Inside, the dried yield is 400 to 450 grams per plant. Inside, the plants average in height at about 31.5 inche (80 cm); outside, the average height is about 53 inches (135 cm), with harvest time at the end of September. THC: 9% CBD: 9% Yield Indoor: 500-550gr m2 Yield Outdoor: 500-550 grams per plant dried Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 120 - 150 cm Flowering time: 8 weeks Harvest month: Late September Genetic background: Juanita la Lagrimosa x Royal Highness Type Sativa: 75%; Indica: 25% Effect: Physical, clear high. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Week 19 Day 7 Now I definetly have realized the importance of right pH-level, my old pH-meter clearly didn't work.
