Aug 30: it’s still hot (too hot at peak for photosynthesis) so lots of water, watering outside of growbag, etc to cool things off a bit. Sep 1: almost ready. Found a dried leaf and a spot of bud rot which was immediately removed. Main tops are almost ready and I’ll start harvesting this one later this week. Sep 2: buds are looking pretty ready (at least the tops) and the pistils changed colour last night. Heatwave is now past and now we’re into a couple days of smoke from fires in the NWT. Sucks, but at least this is the first serious smoke here this year. Sep 4: decided to do a chemical flush this year. Great buds last year but didn’t burn well because of excess P in late flowering. Considered another flush product but looking at the MSDS sheets that stuff had ‘editic acid’ which is an obscure but acceptable name for EDTA. That is a very strong chelating agent which will remove salts effectively but I’d rather avoid it. In contrast, Final Flush from Grotek has potassium sorbate (generally recognized as safe food additive) and good old citric acid which is a chelating agent but not as strong as EDTA. Similar products but citric acid is more gentle and the plant still gets some potassium. Sep 5: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you follow up with a far red light.

Going well, seems to have a bit of a deficiency with the yellowing leaves. Also a little time-lapse of 3 days growth It's pretty Colm atm so growth seems a bit slow

9/22/2024 Added 80W LED lights below the canopy. Tilted the other 200W fixture to point into the canopy. Relocated circulation fans to keep air moving through the bush! Great flower development is continuing. The stretch is almost complete, but it is still stretching. Super cropping may be right around the corner. With one bucket removed from the system, the new system volume is right around 7-8 gallons. 9/23/2024 Forced to do a water change after a massive spike in PPM up to 2400. Cycled the system with about 5 gallons of pH water and pumped off about 4 gallons. Replaced 3 gallons containing appropriate nutrient concentration to get PPM back to 800 -900 range. Increased lights to 85%. Super cropped some of the lanky main stems that were growing right at the lights. Light directly over the plant is pretty much maxed out on height at this point. Looking to increase intensity by the end of this week to 90% and then to 100% by the end of week 5. Continuing to defoliate larger fan leaves a few per day. 9/24/2024 Plant is looking incredibly healthy even after the water issues. Some trichomes starting to develop on sugar leaves and flowers. There are tons of flower sights, I am excited to see how they continue to develop!!! 9/25/2024 Moved the light up to its last hanging position. There are only a few more inches of adjustment left. Trying to avoid late supercropping if I can. 9/26/2024 Pruning large fan leaves and fan leaf overgrowth. Looking to leave a lot of the smaller leaves for sugar trim collection if possible. Humidity is not an issue yet, but working to maintain 50-60% is getting close to maxing out my setup. Continuing with light defoliation will hopefully help in managing humidity. 9/27/2024 Have been adding pH-adjusted water as well as reduced nutrient concentration to keep PPM 800-900. Prioritizing bloom nutrients and keeping small amounts of micro and grow in the mix, diamond nectar at around 4mL/gallon.

The Sherbet Queen looks marvelous! Big beautiful lady! Can't wait to see her flower!

My Gas Tax plant is looking insane. It's seriously the biggest plant I've ever grown, with these massive buds that are almost completely covered in this crazy purple and black coloring. I'm not gonna have to do much trimming at all, which is awesome. I've never seen anything like it. The past week has been awesome for drying my plants. The weather's been perfect – nice and dry, with just enough breeze to keep things moving. I finally got around to chopping down those two big plants I've been meaning to trim. They're almost ready, just need a little more time to dry out completely. I can't wait to see how they turned out.

Hey everyone, welcome to Week 7 Jack 1 and NL 1 are flowering. Jack 1 looks like she's going to grow one main cola and a few little side buds. Not so very big. 2nd or 3rd week of flowering NL 1 looks great, very healthy and will stay under 1meter I think. 2nd week of flowering Jack 2 has the first signs of flowering and an insane stretch in the last few weeks. She is already bigger now then my photoperiod Lemon Haze last year. 😂 Pretty crazy for an autoflower or she has outstanding genetics. The difference with Jack 1 is huge haha She has a few bad leaves starting from under. Think this is a pottasium lockout like last year because of too low PH. Gonna water in with 7 now. Didn't give water since the flush from last week. They had a few rains too so enough water for sure. Kept them inside too for a night to dry out the soil. Only thing I will do upcoming days is water in with a higher Ph and introduce Alga Bloom and sugar royal with 1ml for Jack 1 and NL 1. Also the last Neem Oil and Vita Race sprays for those 2. Green Sensation is also for upcoming days. Jack 2 will have some more sprays before flowering. She looks like she is 2 weeks behind the other girls so also some more grow nutrients before switching to Alga Bloom. Will upload more and better pictures soon. Happy growing friends 🙏 Sad update : Due to safety and law reasons I had to move 2 plants. While moving her I snapped the main cola from NL 1 😥😔 I wired tape around it but I don't know. It looked pretty broken. First big accident/mistake from this grow. Lucky I have 3 other plants but I really loved this NL 1, she was the best from this grow and she will suffer for sure from this 😪

47.25 What’s up growers! Just finished up germination and seedling stage on to veg! 1st week of veg plant is at 3rd internode so time to tie down method. Looking good so far. Only using 1/2 strength of nutes until more is needed.

Start of week 3 - Plants are still stretching and aren’t slowing down either.. I raised the HPS hood because the tallest stems were starting to show signs of heat stress. Hairs are coming on quickly now, time for the ladies to push out some beautiful bud!

Day 70 Looking good, waiting for Pistols to turn brown.. monster cola's on this one.

flowwering week 1

She’s developing her bud formation nicely hopefully see more and more fattening and more stretching of the side branches so far so good

….. the energy moves to the flowers💐

She has shown herself! Definitely a relief since I was worried about the early use of OregonismXL. Took a little more time to break the soil than her closet-mate, but it’s also very likely I was just inconsistent with my planting depth. Worth mentioning: This plant is my summer outdoor grow, but it will do most of its veg stage indoors. The weather is dookie butt during veg season where I’m at.

Its official , she is a lady !!!. I am relieved to see that she is def female and no signs of Nanners so far !. Her stretch This week has been really helpful in keeping her going lateral with mains. She has approx 15-20 potential good mains around her now so once i can get to the 21 day 12/12 point , i should be able to bring the best of them to the final contenders. She is root building like crazy and the tank she is in is dropping quicker now each day. she is definitely happy and healthy . I am glad I use the quadlining as she would be very tall now. she is 2 weeks younger but the biggest in her group of plants !. The Blue Gelato 41 in her wants to go sativa tall but thankfully the Gorilla zkittelz side is just as happy Thickening out sideways. For such a short veg time she is impressive too. Let's see what buds she can throw up. Be Well and safe Growmies

Week 20/5 - 26/5 Final days!

Start of the blooming Phase I don't know if I should lollipop the 2 little branches that are just in the middle of the plant. For now I just did a little Extra lst to get them more light.

2/26: Harvested both Black Jacks and both Gorilla Girls tonight. They got a rough live trim, then chopped, washed, and hung to drip dry. Big, heavy, frosty buds on all 4 of them!👍 3/2: Still drying in the closet...amazing aromas!

3/25/2023 Week 6- Day 1 of Veg (Day 52 overall) Added my first between changes SILICA Top offs. Was worried that when you add it to pre mixed Nutes that it can make the whole thing turn into a gummy looking substance. I was ready to drain the system and start it over for the week if needed, but no issues adding it to the tank. the Silica going into the Res didn't gummy the system up, it did drop my PH by quit a bit causing me to have to bring it back in balance. 36 Gallons in the Tank Silica Add .5mil/Gal = 18Mil I topped some that needed to be topped, I defoliated some that needs to be defoliated. Since I have moved into Week 6 I have increased the light intensity up to just over 500 maxing it out for Veg Cycle. Next increase will be Week 1 of Flower. 3/26/2023 Week 6- Day 2 of Veg (Day 53 overall) All conditions looked great. Other than me not putting one of the humidifiers back right which means it didn't work last night so Humidity was lower than I like. But got the Humidifier back on it's stand correctly and it is now pumping away. With that I decided to give the plants a day off from any stresses, no topping, no FIMing, no Defoliation for today. Just some good old soaking up the light rays and the ability to get all the Nutes they would like.. 3/27/2023 Week 6- Day 3 of Veg (Day 54 overall) Looking kind of Bushy today, so I defoliated some, and topped some. 3/28/2023 Week 6- Day 4 of Veg (Day 55 overall) PH was a little lower than I like 5.74 so I added a few Mil of PH UP and brought it back up to 5.94. Not much else at this stage, just I topped a little and I defoliated a little. 3/29/2023 Week 6- Day 5 of Veg (Day 56 overall) Topped a little, Defoliated a little Watched them grow!! 3/30/2023 Week 6- Day 6 of Veg (Day 57 Overall) Main action today was breaking down my old tent and setting up a new tent and getting my second RDWC system setup and ready for clones. I Topped a little, I Defoliated some and started taking a good look at what I would like to take for clones in the coming days. I have a few bottom branches that look every promising for my clone material on each. 3/31/2023 Week 6- Day 7 of Veg (Day 58 overall) #3 is at 16" Tall #2 is at 13" Tall
