Day 77 (f15): The Runtz is stretching considerably more than the Kosher Dawg (which will need to be elevated - probably by putting planks under the dwc reservoir). Ran out of Plagron nutrients and couldn't find anymore! So I bought the only ones available at the hydro store 'hy-pro hydro A & B), these nutrients are much less concentrated and I already used up near to half a litre of nutrients on my reservoir change day (yesterday)! The yellow tips on the Runtz seem to be light stress, as during the res change the nutrient dosage was lowered and ph maintained between 5.7-6.1 and she shows she is hungry but the yellow tips got slightly worse to the light is 15cm higher now. Nice strong vegetative smell releases when I rub any part of the plants :D It is getting difficult to take pictures where you can actually see the size of the plants because the space is so packed! Can't wait to do the heavy defoliation after the stretch (in like 5-7 days from now)! Day 80 (f18) update: 10cm stretch since day 15, she is doing well! Internode distance is larger than I'm used to, but she also stretched more than I expected so I'll probably remove all the lower bud sites during the heavy defoliation. Light stress (or nute burn) symptoms barely progressed, I think putting the light from 35 to 55cm from the highest growth shoots helped. Since she is so bushy and definitely the biggest volume plant I have ever had I am very curious to see what she REALLY looks like after the defoliation!! Day 80 (f20) update (heavy defoliation): The stretch has slowed down and the buds have a slight fresh sweet citrus aroma, took 90 minutes to defoliate her and remove the 'sucker' branches and bud sites on the bottom 40% of the plant. Changed water reservoir to a mix with a bit of bloom booster (Plagron green sensation).

July 25: she has recovered nicely from the hail storm teo weeks ago. Force flowering in garage at 9 pm, a few seconds of 730 nm far red light and then out of garage at 7 am. Works for me but adjust as needed for your latitude. July 26: watered with lazy compost tea this morning. Looking good. July 30: top dressed with malted barley, soil and compost amended with gypsum, Epsom salts, and dolomite as cal-mag sources.

Start of week 3 blueberry is flowering and the stretch is almost over. The seedlings are growing nicely.the box got up to 100f this week during mini heat wave had to put ice blocks in rez to lower temp down from 80f. I look forward to the 3 other new strains I’m running. My GSC seedling is looking a little pale I should have waited longer to change rez over to bloom nutes. I have top dressed some organic fertilizer near drip line of nutes 4-6-4 one month release. I applied to all seedlings except blueberry. I reduced blumat on gsc, ww, and ch until surface dried a little bit as my gsc was showing signs of overwatering. Gsc is starting to green back up. My bb had to nanners i plucked them I hope these are all. It could be from the high temps or the one night I had a light leak. BB larger plant receving 1000 ppfd.i turn light back down a notch Gsc leaves started cupping now she’s getting just 550 along with other seedlings.will continue to monitor for improvement and ramp lights up a little later if needed as plants should grow into light.

04.12.24 BT#53 Mahlzeit zusammen 🙂 So die Mendocino Skunk geht langsam den Endspurt entgegen, ihr geht es wunderbar. Auch sie hat nur PH angeglichenen Wasser bekommen damit Sie die nächsten Tage gut versorgt ist. In 3 Tagen bekommt Sie das letzte mal Futter dann nur noch Wasser zum Spülen. Paradise Seeds hat da eine sehr feine Gentik an den Tag gezaubert. Komplett resistent gegen alles , wendet bei Ihr Training an somit fühlt sie sich am wohlsten. Sie wird es euch am Ende doppelt zurück geben, aber auch ohne Training muss sie sich nicht verstecken. Ihre extremen seitentriebe wollen hoch hinaus. Freue mich auf nächste Woche dann gibt es wieder ein Update, bleibt anständig stay High. Mögen all eure Ladys Gesund und prächtig wachsen und euch mit schmackhaften Stuff versorgen 🔥🤘 ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 04.12.24 BT#53 Meal together 🙂 So the Mendocino Skunk is slowly approaching the final spurt, she is doing wonderfully. She has also only been given PH-adjusted water so that she is well supplied for the next few days. In 3 days she will get her last feed and then only water for rinsing. Paradise Seeds has conjured up some very fine genetics. Completely resistant to everything, she uses training to make her feel most comfortable. In the end she will give you back twice as much, but even without training she has nothing to hide. Her extreme side shoots are aiming high. Looking forward to another update next week, stay high. May all your ladies grow healthy and splendid and provide you with tasty stuff 🔥🤘

Gushers has just been switched to ph water yesterday. The Spider Farmer G5000 Light has been turned down to 60 percent. I will be harvesting her in about a week. She looks really good, and smells sweet. She is just waiting on cannatrol space to get harvested.

Been studying for Art Exam but neverless the grow has continued. All our premium strains did not reach maximum size due to late transplanting from Bad Soil to Good soil. Nevertheless we hope to garner a seed or two and begin again with better circumstances surrounding our grow than ever before. The Northern Lights, GirlScout Cookies and PowerPlant grew between 32 and 36 cm each. I estimate a dry yield of between 20 and 30 Grams on each and about a further 30-40 grams on our banana Kosher Kush (this could be more but to be on the safe side. They probably have 2-3 weeks left before harvest. We will take what we have learnt here and start again with better soil and a steadier light schedule. Till next week

She is finally fattening!

It's doing well, the scent is getting stronger, it's flowering beautifully, and it seems to be growing much better than the first one, which suffered from the climate and other factors. 12/12 from seed Watering with filtered tap water every 2/3 days, when the pot is lighter, 500-1000ml Soil: peat, coconut powder, perlite, carbonized rice husk, sheep manure and worm humus. essential mineral mix, vegetable flours, vegetable cakes, biochar, bokashi EM1 and other organic inputs, Algae ascophyllum nodosum small pots 3,7liters // 1gallon light: lm301h-evo 120watts with other plants

This week is pretty chill, I'm letting them do they're own things. I'm fairly new to growing, so I'm doing different techniques with each plant. I topped one of the alien Moonrocks, leaving the other and letting one go just normal. As you can see from the pictures, they responded REALLY well from LST. I've heard nothing but solid things from Twisted Trees. Some are planted in a 5 gallon bucket, and some random sizes. I got my 7 gallons too late, I don't want to risk shocking them when I transplant as they are doing fine. I'm really just testing the waters, see what works for my indoor grow. Also added humidifier, running around 45-50 percent humidity.

Week 4 of the Veg Stage ( 29 Aug - 4 Sep 22 ) - 29 Aug 22 LST with stalk sticks - 3 Sep 22 - Defoliation and 2nd Topped - 4 Sep 22 - Foliar sprayed B1, Seaweed Extract, Potassium Silicate, and IPM with T-Rex Shield Water on Monday, Wednesday, Friday

I’m in love with the straw gorilla 😍🤩🍓 All the top buds ready✂️ The colors & the smell pouaaah out of this world !! One more week for the lower buds and finito bye bye

Feb 6 They got last feed yesterday and for 7 days they will only get plain water, then chop chop Feb 6 Did some snipping of the dead leaves, just did second last water, one more in 48hrs, then 48 hrs darkness and she’s done… I’m thinking prolly 2 - 2.5 oz off these girls 🥦 PS: trying out 4 plants in 1.5 gal pots next instead of 2 plants in 3 gal. Got some signs of light stress via mid to late flower, so maybe 4 plants might help spread out the energy and increase yeild.

The flush week! Seemed ok - def had nitrogen toxicity in one purple berry kush - maybe too much ripener before. But we’re here - will give them the 24 now and chop. We’re out of time on this run. 90^% of the crop are where I want them to be however I thought I would have more droopy leaves. Will do the harvests on Monday anyways. Have a great week. Tried to edit best j could to do them justice. We were taking pics for the v1 so I brought them all out for a dance. Aroma strong 😂. Take care everyone. Just keep going and keep on bloomin

***Note that I started to count the days when I placed the seeds between paper towels. The seeds were planted 3 days later and sprouted from the ground 2 days after being planted. D63 (26/04/2021) : I top dressed the soil of every pot with Gaia Green power bloom 2-8-4, earthworm casting, bone meal and shrimp compost. I think it was a bit late in the flower to top dress the Glue Gelato. From now on I will only give water. D66 (29/04/2021): I saw more calcium deficiency but on the Banana Kush this time. She is really close from the light and I think this is why the closest leaves got some rust brown ish spots. The lamp under the Banana Kush and the Gelato is higher now. I made a gallon of home made organic CalMag supplement with Epsom salt, crushed egg shell and molasse. I gave all 3 plants 200ml of home made CalMag when watering them. I will gave them approximately 100-150ml of this CalMag supplement every other watering. D69 (02/05/2021): The smell is crazy 😍 It smells soooo good! The house is starting to smell strong too 😳😅. - Light: the lights are at 100% and at 12 inch form the plants. - Temperature: during the day: 24-26C ; during the night: 20C. - Humidity: the humidity is maintain around 46-48% all the time. - Air circulation: There is an oscillating fan on the ground, one fixed fan pointing on top of the canopy and one fixed fan to help cool the lights. - Water: I gave water every other day or when the ground feel dry or the pots feels light.

Hi guys A day early but thought ill post this now day 20 from switch, just done a major defoliation on them I will do a final next week, im going to add a.little bit of nitrogen in the mix as I feel the bloom doesn't have enough in it on its own, plants are doing well tho. Bullets are appearing now so thats a good sign, installed the ac infinity s6 cloudline and put in the dehumidifier. I'll keep you all posted Happy growing guys Day 22 from flip Hi guys I done the day 21 defoliation yesterday to expose the bud sites. So this week my plants are looking really hungry. I am using the bloom mix and trying to get some colour back in the leaves. The blue cheese is by far the better plant at this stage. I'll keep you updated. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚

I have tried to keep the canopy of the overall grow as level as I can, the only problem with running different strains is they all have different traits and grow at different speeds. Nearer the end of the week the weather started getting cold again so the radiator is going to be working a bit more over the next week or 2. #3 Gorilla Cookies FF is just mega, she has been stretching so much throughout the grow and has 90Deg bends all over, a snapped main, a few damages sides but not as fucked as the main and she is still doing champion. Its been hard work keeping her the level of the others but she has a shit load of space, way more then the other 2 strains.

Sept 25th a.m. - fed ea. Congo and Natural Mystic 1/2 volume H2o/ Molasses mix; C 2.75L / NM 2.5L - fresh LST where needed - light survey showed an imbalance with taller autoflower in the mix. It was LST’d into a lower profile and moved deeper into the corner. Light distance for the Congo etc is now dialed-in after a bit of a shuffle. *** reminder Oct 8 is Lights-Out *** 36 hrs of darkness 26th - followed-up on yesterdays LST and put some actual direction on the Nat Mystic Branches. Its a tightly spaced unit but the branches are getting into some open air now. Look-out for what happens next 27th, - everything looks great this morning. Big feeds tonight if soil allows; 6.5L congo / 6L NM ** topping observation ** In an effort to produce a 16 cola plant using Topping methods, i am in the middle of a side by side topping experiment, and it does look like one method, Does has an advantage over the other! Waiting for each branch to grow past its first Node, and then produce a second Node, this will be the place to top, once the plant grows Past this 2nd node, on each branch. What results is that you only snip each branch Once, after the original Topping. 5 snips will produce 16 Tops. Allow each branch to grow past the 2nd node, then Top. It will produce 4 nodes naturally on each branch. Better overall spacing/symmetry The other significant feature of this response, is that the Durban Poison was a full week behind the Congo & N.M., and it has caught-up and Passed the progress of the natural mystic. Both of these plants (congo/nm) used the extra topping on the upper branch, and its required longer periods for the 4 bud-sites to develop per branch and extend away from the plant. It required more delicate fiddling than the (d)Urban Poison. **** - short video of the Tent uploaded this morning - no feed tonight, too moist 29th a.m. - soil said Go this morning; 6.5L h2o/nutes for the congo & 6L for the natural mystic - Collected details from N.M. & Congo run-off - pulled Northern Light express auto from the tent and replaced her with a 3.5 week old Green Mountain Grape. Move was done to help acclimatize to the cmh lite, ahead of Flower BONUS, you can actually see a bit of a droop on the Congo leaves… this mornings feed was 2 days overdue; the pot was actually lite & confirmed for me the condition of the soil is OK and not waterlogged. Pushed her a little bit towards a Drier Bottom since her last feed. Nice to see that as I crank it up - GMG has been super-cropped on the 28th, to help establish an even canopy - Slip, Snap, lost a Cola. Even though it was the runt, its gonna be missed 30th - OK, did a little homework last nite and the timing could not be better for me, with regards to Flushing 3 plants, ahead of the move into Flower. This stems from capturing some of the run-off after a bigger feed. What resulted is I found a high EC value on the Natural Mystic (3200) that indicates a build-up of Salts in the soil. The Volume 33% says its a bit much… i have been aggressive in my nutrient values but its been incremental. Regardless N.M. gets a quick bath to flush out this bit o History. Congo had less liquid come through but was still an elevated value (EC 2300) and will receive a Flush as well. ((d)URBAN POISON barely had any liquid come out. It will be flushed as well. Call it a tune-up, I’m in. * should anybody see something from those results that I’m missing or misinterpreted… Id be happy to hear about it. Please & Thanks pH probably has something to do with it too, but I don't care right now Effluent details: -Nat Myst released 2L out the bottom after being fed 6L : I’m going to reduce the volume of Water & Nutes fed, targeting 15% run-off. (5L next feed) -Congo released 600ml after 6.5L was fed; Which is a reasonable amount in active use; close to 10% - with height a constant issue in a tent, in my basement… i’m super happy with how low this whole grow has stayed through Veg. Kinda shocked actually… pic #23 - flushed Natural Mystic w/ 20 gallons water - (the little kids pool that I inflate, to flush-in… of course, sprouted a whole shitload of leaks in the Bottom when I was about 18 gallons in. And Yeh, the discharge hose on my electric pump DID COME OUT OF THE SINK DRAIN, 2x. I had water everywhere lol. Actually out in the garage taking care of things right now) Oct 1 - last day week 7 - re-applied the pins holding Nat Mystic in place. She is damp, Healthier & Hungry soon; target = 2 Meals b4 Lights-out. With Congo flush 100% happening… both Meal volumes tbd - been a busy week & things are about to change again. Learnings impact all the different grows. I’ve never flushed Mid-grow; and I’m liking-it !

Alrighty guys, Day 35ish check the ladies out! Dam! They starting to pack on weight! The main stem is thick as my pinky finger but they are currently short plants. Hoping they will stretch as they develop through the flower phase. Also added fabric pot risers to promote airflow under the pots to help even out the pot drying patterns. Note: I have now learned that my original formula used for the pre soil mix with organic amendments was a bit too hot. I do see dark green leaves with clawing only on one plant. I'm going to dial back the premix to 2-3tbs/gal of media @50/50 mix of the 284 and 444, rather than 4tbs. I may even push for 2tbs and add regular light feeding of calmag for the next grow to help with the heavy coco coir mix soil from promix hgcc line. Lesson learnt, so let's keep pushing hard to get these ladies finished! Also I picked up a bottle of beneficial enzymes to help with root rot for the one droopy plants, however I'm going to apply it to all my plants just for the benefits of a strong root system into flowering. Shouts outside to @LaBOSSANOVA for the quick tips. I'll keep you all updated on ms droppy and the gang. Happy growing freints!
