This week I switched over to 12/12 light cycle to begin flower stage. Cycled through a sequence of blue, red, and purple light to develop taller (red) and fuller (blue) foliage, using both (purple) at times as long as I could keep the temp under 79F. Man! once I switched over, they began taking off! Some of the more dominate branches began taking over and blocking the smaller ones in record time. I had to add a couple filler lamps (1 LED & 1 CFL, both white) to even things out a bit. NOTE: reverting back to actual Plant-to-Lamp distance (vs Screen/Net-to-Lamp).

Looking forward to growing this one.🌿🌿🙂

Well, its been a very hot, hum8d and dry week. Well, over a week since we got rain, weeks since we've had a good downpour. The streambed is too low, and if this keeps up I'll have to truck water from the house. Despite the lack of rain everyone is doing well. The ladies are really stretching now that they're in flower and I'm happy with how everyone looks. I found another liquid fish fertilizer that's a 3-2-2 vs the Alaska brand 4-1-1 I was using before so I think this will work out even better for flower. And it's local!

Week 5 for the Green Papayas from super sativa seeds club. Some of the lower leaves are letting us know that the mother plant need a lot more food. we added additional PK booster to her. The clones seems to go a lot better, these buds are bigger also, but happy in general. I still need to get used to all this organic nutrients. Lots of things to learn and a long way to go, always happy to learn new methods of growing! For the rest, as always just water!

.. Flower Day 2-3 ..

Nice for a stunted auto ran at full nutrients

Day 30. Worried about running out of space. I have been tying the plant down perform LST which is helping. Only change in feeding schedule is I have reduced call mag from 5.0 Ml to 3.0 ML and have added big swell by aurora nutrient lines 2.0 ml

enjoyed growing this girl she grew well on low e.c took to training like a champ could have been better in coco but no complaint very good quality nice taste excellent high love growing on grow diaries wicked platform top people not much else to say thanks for everyone who helps reads comments ,likes and follows happy growing guys

wondering when to top them

Whiskers have started to grow..still no Buds though. Stem is long and the plant is a bit slender and spaced out. Watering it every 3 days and fertilising every 7 days. Hopefully I start to see the buds!

9/29 Watered at 1.2 mS/cm. LST. 10/2 Watered at 1.3 mS/cm. LST. Defoliation. Tucked the leaves I could. Found a few wet spots. Adjusted fan. Concerned about the whorled phyllotaxy. She is cool but much taller than the rest of the plants. Not sure if I should raise other plants or super- crop it. The main stem is slightly larger than a pencil and it IS an Autoflower in week 4. Is not flowering... Yet! 10/3 LST, leaf tucking. Defoliation. Rotated plants. 10/4 Switched to week 1 flowering nutrient mix. Watered at 1.35 mS/cm. mixed 5 gallons. All plans are drinking heavily now and look amazing. Might go ahead and stick with the veg nutrients for the turtle Taffy since it was such a latecomer to the party. Using water transfer pump. Lights at 50% and 22 inches. About to get crowded in there. 10/5 Rotated plants. Watered to 10-20% runoff. Keeping lights at 50% and 24". 1.35 mS/cm. Continue leaf tucking and LST. 1.4 mS/cm 50%lights big growth and many bud sites. This was last feeding with Bud Ignitor.

👉Alrighty Then👈 👉Purple Punch F1👈 So we are now moving into week 6 of flower and everything is looking good 👍 Had some real nice growth this week , had to do a little leaf management👈 Low Stress Training to pull the lower branches out .... We also did a topping of this one , as she was getting pretty tall 😳 Everything is looking good 👍sidenote , I am using my well water which is hard so I am having slight issues 😅 So ive up'd the nutrients to accommodate the moving to Flower ..... Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Lights by MarsHydro.ca FC4800 X UR45 X Adlite Deep Red And Blue Tent 4x4x6.5 & Equipment by MarsHydro.ca High reflectivity inner mylar Thick Oxford fabric Smooth heavy duty zipper Sturdy metal frame Zipper blackout cloth Good anti light leakage performance The 6in Inline kicks ass moves alot of air ●Blue Light Effect: Blue light shortens internodes, resulting in shorter, stronger plants, ideal for supporting fruit development later. During vegetative growth, blue light promotes lateral branch development effectively. Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

Alright I've updated this postmortem and cure just to give an idea of what I was up to during the dry and cure weeks. This grow was a ton of work and I'm very please with the results. I learned a ton about soil and environment control and really feel like I'm gaining confidence and coming into my own as a cultivator. I've been playing a lot with ice water hash and rosin and have set some neat goals for the future like hunting ice water hash cultivars, going perpetual and expanding the amount of canopy I can work with by building a network of remote-operated satellite flower tents in friends' and family's abodes . I'm not sure I'll go through all this effort of documentation here again, but please follow along on my instagram, stay in touch and chill out with me sometime @Fullmeltalchemist.00 All in all, I was running 1000w of quantum board across three tents and pulled just over 1100 grams, which was a big goal of mine. Thanks for all the advice and love growmies! And thanks growdiaries for the platform. It's been coo.

Plant is looking good 😊, fully recovered from defoliation, I set the lights closer, switched them to 12h of light per day, and did some spraying to control pests with neem oil and organic Marseille soap, everything good so far . Can't wait to see the flowers forming. I used a net to open up the branches, and get more colas, it worked but I think stressed out the plant a bit and the fact that I did it in the flowering period didn't helped, so next time I'll do it way before, but I recently bought the net so.. anyway I kept the net on for three days, and now I decided to remove it cause was getting me lot of troubles accessing the setup in general, watering, basically made impossible any movement inside the tent. Still did is thing and now I have not the best even canopy but many more top colas for sure. Please give me any advice, I've noticed it is drying out lot faster, humidity is still at 58% but I believe the roots are much more developed. I will leave home for 2 or 3 weeks, my sister will have the duty to just water, can't ask her more, hope for the best. So updates will be very rare but she'll take pictures for me and for us :D .

Well into flower now,no issues so not much to report.day 15 of bloom 🤞🍁

- The trichomes photos have been taken just before the harvest. - Drying was made at 20°C and around 50% of humidity (4 days). - Humidity in jar around 55% on the first day, temperature around 21°C. Veg time : 58 days Flowering time : 73 days Total time from seed to harvest : 135 days Height : 59cm Pot size : 26l

Today is day 51 since I flipped the switch. They are starting to put on some rock weight. Going to give her one more week of overdrive and then flush with flawless.
