Transplanted up to 7gal air pruners, rootzones look 👍. Just some last bending of branches to do this week, working towards leveling the canopy, getting close to flowering switch so I will start increasing the hours of darkness 1 incrementally 1 day at a time giving the plant ample time to prepare for the massive hormonal changes. This mimics nature slightly better given hours of darkness changing over the many months. Doing a sharp 18/6 to 12/12 feels like the plant really gets caught unprepared. Added far-red LED to simulate sunrise and sunset 30 mins each side.

This week buds started forming 😍i did a massive defoliation by the end of the week. The plant really needed it! Also i just figured out that my AC had an auto mode 😂 better late than never 😅. But i can now make sure that my plant is in the right VPD through the rest of the flowering.

One gal hermed :( Guessing as a result of the crushed tubing a few weeks back + defoliation. However, there has been some other wonkiness this grow such as no auxiliary buds on one, and 15-point leaves on another! So perhaps this is just a weaker strain not suited for training?🤷‍♂️ Checked all the other plants and no pollen sacks just yet - fingers crossed! (I sprayed down the whole tent with water as a just-in-case measure) Last big defoliation this grow! ~~~~~~~~~~ Aside from that, everything's looking good. Smaller gals are stretching considerably, two big gals have slowed down to a crawl. The tall gals are about 12'' from lamp, the others 15" - if things don't slow down I may have to consider some HST (nooooot my preference, all things considered - I'll end up with seeds, guaranteed). Or, if I don't see any significant burn, maybe I let them go and just harvest the top portions early? We'll see! More and more hairs every day, buds are getting bigger! ~~~~~~~~~~ OK! - Its the strain! Has to be. Woke up this morning and one of the big gals had fully open pollen-sacks :(((( Picked off every one I could find with tweezers This gal did not have crushed tubing issues, and everything tracked fine. This leads me to believe that these plants just aren't meant for stress training. This day and age - the breeder will usually give you info on the subject - I can't find this online ANYwhere. I know who the breeder is - (big big name-sticker was on the bag) so this comes as quite a surprise to me...but at the same time - you can't find them on the website. Feels like it was given up on, and I snagged some of them on sale, from a distributor who had some left? Best guess. (gal starting putting out foxtails a cpl weeks later - 10'' from lamp) ~~~~~~~~~~ Thought maybe the three smaller gals could use a trellis - unfortunately I did not train them well enough - they are a little too cramped/bushy. I will have to use the Bamboo support system from here on and the trellis would clip bud-sights. So worse case, I'll use zip ties / rope to keep them supported. If its anything like my first grow - the mainline/manafold will do most the work anyhow.

This week things are swelling quick great ! The purple is showing up more but still only trace amounts. The black has no signs of changing colour however I already know my pheno ain’t the one ☝️ . But the purple shows promise!! Slow at cloning and a higher mortality rate then the black amnesia haze. This one almost every single clone I made all root amazingly ! Highly recommend for its yields and ease in the grow room. You can really feed it high . Still unknown why the purp has curling leaves but from others grows I see it’s fairly common . I’m guessing it prefers a slightly more alkaline PH . I’ve been using citric acid to ph correct and every time I sway a little low like 6.4-6.2-5.9 the plants leaves curl slightly more. Most mixes are in the 6.8-6.5 range however.

Hello fellow buddlovers! It is my great pleasure to announce the start of week 3! All our competitors are looking healthy and strong! Today we begin to nourioush our little Padawans into becoming true committed servants of JAH. They had have a taste of God forbidden fruits of nutrition from Gold Label such as root boost and soil a/soil b and some supplements for desert from humbolt county's own Ultra snow & Cal mag. To inspire the growth and the quality of the beauty sleep we replaced old CO2 bag with a new one. Glads me to see that our soldiers are doing really good. They have growth from 17cm(day 15) to 20cm(day 17) in just 2 days since i fed them. Really looking forward to see the full veggie bloom out. Yours own Glada Minnen! Don't be shy to ask anyting :).

Super easy week, just watering the ladies when they need it. Still concerned about the humidity so I’m going to start using my dehumidifier outside of the tent. I’ll monitor the humidity each day and set my humidifier on a schedule based upon the data collected. Soon I’ll be adding in another layer of netting to help support the branches and space them out more for better airflow and a more “sea of green” look. I usually vegetate for longer but I wanted to see if I could shorten my grow times and produce about the same results. Time will tell!

Happy Weekend Growmies, you are all well 😊 Reds been growing away nicely this week, ive got the light at 16 inches and just keeping an eye out for any light burn. Shes still got a bit of clawing as you can see from the video, but i haven't fed her this week apart from the canna boost and its definitely got better. Il give her another weak feed next week but this strain dosent seem to need allot of nutes. Those lovely purple colours have now started to come through with the lower night time temps and shes loooking grand, i never stop marvelling at the beauty of this plant 😊 Thats all from me this week, thanks for stopping by ✌️

What's up Growmies🤟🏽. Week # 8 is in the books🙌🏾 Hello week #9💪🏾 I went a little overboard on pictures this week, they are so happy and healthy that I got carried away. I know we are supposed to post pictures with the lights off, however it's something about the contrast it gives with the lights on that makes it look sexy to me😁. I have had to tie the stalks of both White LSD plants due to heavy sagging. I'm noticing with this strain the stalks seem to topple over even though the buds are far from fully developed. A trellis net probably would be ideal however I hate them. They are easy to put on but very difficult to take off come harvest. I use garden wire and string them as if they are puppets being controlled by the puppet master🤪. I continue my feeding schedule with the recommended "bloom" concoction using general hydroponics Flora series trio. I give them 1 liter every 3 days. I have them on a 2 to 2 cycle (feed them twice with nutes and then twice with plan water) I keep the p.h. around 6.1 to 6.6. Temps and humidity are in the perfect range I'm enjoying it while it last because spring and summer in VA makes it difficult to keep the humidity in check. All in all everything is going well for me and my ladies. I hope the same for all of you. Until next week my friends Happy Growing 🤟🏽 and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

🌿 Schönen Sonntag & einen entspannten 1. Advent aus der richtigen Zeitzone =) 🌱 Wochenupdate Diese Woche wurde echt viel gefummelt 😄 Im Fokus standen Canopy-Aufbau und selektives Entlauben =) Bin da wirklich pingelig und könnte das den ganzen Tag machen… echt schlimm 😅 Was ich jetzt schon sagen kann: Blueberry Cupcake hat mit Abstand den krassesten Stretch hingelegt. Purpz hat ihren Platz auch relativ gefüllt, performt echt gut und ist fast gleichauf mit BBCC. Notorious zieht auch, soll aber wohl etwas später definierter drücken. Mir gefällt ihr Wachstum richtig gut. Guzzlerz macht sich auch echt gut für ihren schlechten Start. Ihre Sides gehen mittlerweile richtig steil. Ein paar mehr Triebe wären nice gewesen, aber da lag sicher auch einiges an mir.. :D Abseits meiner Dummheiten lief alles absolut smooth. Eine tolle Veg und richtig gute Stretch-Phase bis jetzt =D🔥 🌿 Pflanzenstatus & Training Ich halte die Canopy aktuell noch flach – für zwei, drei Tage =) Anschließend steht das Verteilen auf die Meshes an. Danach dürfen sie endlich nach oben =D Die Richtungen sind grob gelegt, erste Ansätze sieht man auch schon =D Ich kann’s echt nicht erwarten… Budporn ist einfach magisch 😄🔥 Über die Tage sind immer wieder größere oder verdrehte Blätter rausgeflogen – hauptsächlich, um Luft und Licht auf möglichst viele Triebe zu bekommen 😊 Man kann wirklich ohne Bedenken ~30 % Biomasse rausnehmen, wenn die Vitalität das zulässt, ohne sichtbaren Stop im Wachstum 🌱 🌬️ Luft & Ventilation Hab jetzt noch zwei Clip-Ventis dazugezogen. Die Angst vor Schimmel kickt langsam wieder =D Es laufen jetzt zwei unter und zwei über der Canopy – jeweils gegenüberliegend und zirkulierend. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich den Boundary-Layer-Disruption-Effekt kenne bzw. davon weiß, und ihn durchaus stimmig finde 😊 Aber bis jetzt war die Angst vor Schimmel in irgendeiner Ecke doch größer 😂 Ich hab nicht den Eindruck, dass es negativ ist, zirkulierende Luft auf die Pflanzen zu richten, solange man nicht voll draufpustet 💨 ⚙️ System Läuft nach wie vor stabil =) Die Top-Ups halten die Nährlösung sauber auf Kurs. Gestern hat sich klar abgezeichnet, dass wir mitten im Stretch-Peak sind 😄 Sie ziehen massiv Kationen und verursachen dadurch einen deutlich messbaren pH-Drop. Das ist für mich das Signal, das Training in den nächsten Tagen zu beenden 🌿😊 800 PPFD 1,0 kPa VPD 700–800 ppm CO₂ im Durchschnitt 💚 Special Mention Der Aufwärtstrend setzt sich fort 😊 Man mag es kaum glauben, aber sie macht sich wirklich gut – sie deckt sogar etwas mehr als die Hälfte ihres Quadranten ab 💚 Bin echt froh, dass sie es geschafft hat und meinen Scheiß noch mitgetragen hat 😂 Danke fürs Lesen echt verrückt, wie viele inzwischen dabei sind – freut mich wirklich mega 😊💛 Eine schöne, entspannte Adventszeit euch allen 🌲😊

She is doing great. This is the week 10 of flowering already! I can't believe that I've been taking care of her for about 4 months already! Her trichomes are getting milkier by the day. I am waiting for there to be some amber and many milky trichomes to harvest her, that's all... Same care and same nutes as always. -------> Update day 109. I decided to harvest her today. I see some trichomes going amber already in many of the buds, and the rest are mostly cloudy. I could leave her growing those buds for a week or maybe more... However, the blueberry indica that I harvested before planting this girl had a very strong body high, so I am looking to get a very head high from this girl. Actually, I've sampled this girl twice already, once three weeks ago, and another two weeks ago, and both were a decent high, very much how I remember it from this strain. Actually, the effect of the last sample reminded me much of the high I got the first time I smoked Amnesia Haze! So, a week after that I suspect the high will be on point, for what I want from it. ------> The end? I decided to try to reveg this girl just as an experiment... Actually, I am even going to try to make one of her clones produce pollen to create my own feminized seeds from this absolutely delicious genetics :)

The Blackberry Moonrocks have a really solid structure, they're looking super healthy. They're nice and big, but it does seem like they could be stretching a bit more. We might need to adjust the lighting or the nutrients to encourage them to grow taller. Well, another year has come and gone. Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and I want to wish all of you a happy and healthy 2025. May this year bring you all the things you've been wishing for. Let's make this the best year yet!

So these fastbuds testers are holding in there along side my aptus girls and I have selected the best 3 which includes 1 of each strain, plus 1 extra 410 tester which I have doubt in unfortunatley as it seems she may not catch up by time it comes too flip 👎 But we plod on and out of 9 seeds 6 popped and now 1 of each remain too continue their great positive journey ahead 🙏🤞 These girls have been bent too allow light too the lower branches and so far each seems too be thriving 🌱 This week I continue too lst and form them ready for flip in a week or so time 💚

The pistils on all plants are getting more and more brown, its time to check the trichomes now. I check with a handheld microscope and they are getting milky, but not yet amber, which means they are ALMOST READY TO HARVEST, but not yet. The amount of crystals produced under the Q6W-Gen.2 LED-lamps from SANlight is astounding, the plants are coated in trichomes! This week I stopped giving any nutrients in order to FLUSH the plants, this is VERY IMPORTANT in order to get a smooth smoke of the dried end-product. The aroma of the plants is VERY STRONG NOW, they smell mouth-watering. The Shiva Skunk has a sweet, musky smell with a fresh citrus note to it, its a delight to smell those plants. The Serious Kush smells EXTREMELY fuely and gassy, like the OG-Kush, but with an amount of buds like the White Russian, its FLABBERGASTING. I cant wait to try those two strains...😎

Tag 1 der 9. Woche der Blüte. Ich stehe kurz vor der Ernte, die Budds sind saftig und Puderig, starker Geruch und gutes Terpenen Profil. Werde wahrscheinlich in 3 Tagen ernten. 2. Tage vor der Ernte lasse ich die im Dunkeln stehen, gieße ab jetzt nicht mehr fürs dehydrieren und bringe die Luftfeuchtigkeit auf 35% runter für das Ende.

Starting the week defoliating the babies, hopefully, they'll get more light penetration and recover in the pre-flowering phase, I think two more weeks until flowering stage.

1st week out of the veg tent, post 1st defoliation. I like to do all my major training in Veg to prevent further stress in flower. I cut all lower fan leaves off and any unnecessary bud sights (ones that I know will not get any light) - Keep in mind these bitches STRETCH & grow massive fan leaves which block out almost all the light to lower sections of the plant. So you will have to remove leaves, how many is up to your preferred method.
