Preflowering, maximizing the sizes

Surf Purp Week 6 Flower The last week before flush. All nutrients apart from PK and sugars have been stopped. This brought the ppm/EC down, plus Remo Bloom was reduced slightly now they're not so hungry. With that being said I'm still using a lot more with this line than I'm used to. Only because the remo nutrients feeding chart lists them so strong, which I'm already a lot lower than. In future I'll try reducing them and see how they cope and perform, but that's just part of dialing it in to your own specific set up. Now that they're close to flush they're starting to get slightly more pale, with #2 and #4 showing some purpling too. This is because they are slowly coming to the end of their cycle, so they no longer need heavy feedings and are now eating less and beginning to cannibilise. They're all very frosty and giving off an insane amount of smell. At this point I'm more or less certain that #4 is a keeper, with the most unique terpene profile out of the 4 females. It smells like rotting candy/fruit with a lot of gas ⛽ it's also a close call between #1&2, as they're very similar to each other yet so different to #4. These two have the sweetest, most pungent smell of blueberries but with very slight differences between them that could change more throughout flush (and even after drying and curing). The keeper from these two will more than likely be decided after drying and curing. One or two of the main cola's on #4 are way too close to the light, with one top bud showing clear signs of burning. When you look closely, parts of the burns are brown as you would expect, and others are bleached white. These are both from heat and light damage, and aren't ideal. But, it's only the one bud on one plant so I'm not going to stress over it. In fact, she's smelling that incredible that you wouldn't even know! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🦊

I assume this Gz #1 Week 8(d50) Gz #2 week 10(d71)chopped:) Gz #3 week 8(d50) Gz #4 week 8(d52) but maturing faster(chopped:) Gz #5 week 9(d62)last week( chopped:) Gz #6 week 8(d50) This week 2 days raining but rest of it is sunny. One plant is faded more than others and i will chop it one week sooner. Only 4 plant give light organic and then tap water for a week or more.

One of the dark devils is extremely stunted.... it's almost comical how small it is.... but she went through a lot .......it's a wonder she still alive .....some other people might have just thrown her away and started with some other seeds...... but it's kind of an experiment .....to see the extreme they're able to go through

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and looks like her stretching has just about stopped and hopefully now she’ll really start packing on the flowers. She’s getting fairly dry already so she’ll get another round of plain water tomorrow then the feeding after that, she’ll get some nutes. She’s got a couple of burnt tips from the nutes but not many so I’ll continue at the dosage I’m using. Day 52 - Didn’t get the chance to update yesterday but she got two gallons of water and nutes. I’m seeing a few leaves starting to lighten up a bit so thinking she’s gonna need higher doses of nutes so next feeding I’ll up the dosage. Other than that, just trying to keep everything tucked nicely in the tent and the flowers are really starting to stack up nicely. Day 54 - Overall she’s looking good and really starting to pack on the flowers. I am a little worried because she’s got a little yellowing going on with some of the upper to middle leaves but not too bad. Hoping I fixed the issue with a nutrient feeding the other day cause pH and everything are all good, right in mid to upper 6’s. Just gonna keep an eye on her and make sure it doesn’t get worse. As long as she’s packing on flower, she should be ok. Day 55 - All still looking good and not noticing any new leaves yellowing so hoping I caught the deficiency early enough. Other than that, flowers are really filling in nicely. She’s got another day or two before she needs some water.

7/30 I defoliated another 3 gallon bucket of dead leaves. I really hope this is senescence. It appears to be. However some little leaves on the bottom interior seem to be turning yellow and falling off. Plants look healthy. I always worry when this happens. I labeled this week as flower as I can see the "asparagus stalks" stretching that will eventually become colas. Pistols are evident. I'm wondering if my ph is off. I can't find my meter. That's how it always goes. Only thing I can't find is the thing I need. I'll update once I put some work in. I think the girls are hungry. I will feed tomorrow. Tonight looks cool enough to spray. Now to decide WHAT to spray. 7/31 FED 3 GALLONS TO THE GARDEN. I didn't water before or after I fed. I was on a time constraints and plants looked hungry. I hope I'm not putting to many salt based nutes to the soil to cause lock out. Leaves on my GDPs seem to be dropping. They've grown WAY taller though. I'll have to look at a deficiency chart but it just looks like they are bleached out. I hope the WPM didn't stop them from performing photosynthesis. It can't stay this hot forever though and I'll be applying either organocide or potassium bicarbonate to treat the WPM. It's not a bad case anyway. I'm not losing AS many leaves but lots have dropped or turned yellow. Leaves at the very top of the GDP have tacoed. Hopefully the kelp me kelp you helps. I put down more slug bait pellets to hopfully kill these bastards. Can't find my ph meter. I'm probably going to have to do a slurry test if i cant find it. One cool thing is that NYC Skunk Ape plant is ridiculously resilient. Even with plants around that have pm and other stuff this bush stands strong unaffected by disease or pest. 8/1 Didn't water. Leaves on my GDP's are turning yellow and the very top leaves are tacoed. I'm defoliating what I can. Ph must be off or something. Not sure. I'll update later 8/2 I took a few one minute videos to shoe friends the yellowing leaves. He thinks lockout as well. It's strange. Only the GDPs are showing these signs of extremely yellowing bleaching leaves. I did feed 3 gallons without watering due to a medical emergency. Maybe that fucked up the ph at the root zone. The tops of some of the GDPs have burnt 🌮 leaves. Friend said that's a sign of lockout. This morning the damage was the most evident as I didn't defoliate the prior day. I see all plants transitioning to flower though. The blueberry that was sideways and needed to be supported is doing awesome. The GDPs rte the only plants that seem to be struggling. I was worried about that when getting my clones. Oh well we will see how things work out. I either need another ph meter or a way to test soil ph. UPDATE: I bought another soil ph meter. The GDP in the middle had readings anywhere from 7.3 to 8.5. The other GDPs were low 7's. Same with other plants I got a read on. My well water is a tad alkaline. Not much. Usually adding nutes brings it down to perfect. I say this every year but I need to stop using salt based nutrients. I filled a 5 gallon bucket and phed the water before using the majority to 'kinda' flush the medium of the large GDP. I did the same to the other GDPs. Only time will tell if this was the correct move. Still have problems with earwigs. I added more sluggo plus pellets. I may go over after dark and see what I can find. 8/3 Massive thunder storm last night. Measured the ph and the three best plants (2 9lb kush, 1 NYC Skunk ape) had ph of 6.6 and 6.7. I couldn't read the skunk ape but it's the healthiest looking. The GDPs are ALL high 7's with the back of one bag registering at 8.5 at the highest!! This is after all that rain too. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'll update later. I see prior earwig damage on the small interior thin Larry stuff. I may need to lollipop. This is a challenging year. 8/4 The GDPs look pretty rough and are transitioning to flower. I'm wondering if I should just strip the damage from earwigs (almost like lillipoping) and cut the small interior larfy stuff that's been damaged. I did some slight defokiating but the gdps have dropped a lot of leaves. Transplanted that nycsa clone that was in a 1 gal FOREVER into a 10 gal smart pot. I don't expect much but better than just letting it die like I had been. The 9lb kush clone will get thrown in either another 10gal bag or right I. My pile of old soil. I have a lot of work to do. I have some plants that are doing amazing. I have a couple in rough shape. No more clones for me. No more foxfire nutes either. I always run into lockout at least once and I don't feed heavy. I'll update as I progress. Today is another day in the upper 90's with rh about the same. 8/5 I guess we got some rain last night. I brought the ph on all the plants down. Highest readingcwas 7.4 which is better than 8.5. That one big GDP is in some rough shape. Earwigs have stripped some internal shoots to absolutely nothing but a stick. I thought I was controlling the population pretty well but I guess not. I will go back over add more sluggo plus, de and petroleum jelly and possibly do a spinosid spray. Plants are really transitioning to flower. If imvgoungvto away now is the time. PM is there but it's really not that bad.

Uploaded pics from yesterday (day 25/21 - week 4). Tent layout from top left: Sugar Mama Candy Kush #2 Bubble Kush Candy Kush #1 Fastberry All the girls showing good progress. The sugar mama has lots of catching up to, at least she is growing fine now. No idea about that fastberry and what it is doing. I've pegged the Candy Kush #1 down some more and removed the leaves that are covering new grow or touching soil. Lots of branches coming up, albeit slow :) Candy Kush #2 and the Bubble Kush are just a sight to behold, lots of branches and quite big for their age. The Bubble Kust is only 21 days from seed in that picture! Amazing! I've only been tucking the fan leaves to give more exposure to the new grow, seems to have been working well so far. I think I will need to train them this week, just a little LST bending the top cola down. All 3 Kush's are big enough now to handle some nutrients so I've them for the first time today. The little ones will need to wait. I've found some White Powder Mildew on my outdoor plants, so just in case I've sprayed these girls with Neem Oil, never liked the smell of it :( but I am going to be using it every week or so as a preventative measure. I'll update again in a couple of days for the end of week 4 (this is mid week update, kind of) ------------- End of week 4 update. Candy Kushs and Sugar Mama at day 28, Bubble Kush and Fastberry are 24 days. All the girls are looks really well, showing slight signs of magnesium deficiency, I'll be giving them biobizz calmag with next watering. The fastberry is finally starting to look like a normal plant. Still perplexed by the top bud growing sideways/downward.

Plants are doing well. Watering roughly once weekly continues to be the current schedule. In this week's watering (week 6, Thursday), a nutrient mix was added (19% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphate, 20% K2O). pH was measured (via the runoff/drainage water collected) on all three plants using a pH probe, of which was measured to be slightly acidic for all plants (exact pH numbers above in the photo descriptions). We are aiming for a pH range of 6.0-7.0, so in next week's watering, we will add a buffer solution to alkalize the soil. All three plants lower branches were also pruned.

another resin monster from seedstockers, with a very special scent, full of flavors! grinded it smelled like peppermint, and vaped it has a great sweet creamy taste!

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

Esta semana, han engordado de manera espectacular, compactandose enormemente a la misma vez que produciendo resina, quien lo diria, esta 🍍CRITICAL PIÑA🍍 ni yo mismo daba nada por ella😂. Increíble olor...😍

Did some defolation. It's no fun at all with just one shoulder. Took me like 3 hours for 2 plants. But good things allways need time. Iam so exited seeing these girls becoming so big. Will try the NPK soon. Lights are on 100% now?
