Ok, so it's slowly getting thicker and frostier. At week seven my girl could be ready in anywhere from two weeks to four weeks more. The light was dropped closer to the top of the canopy. I decided to try 15 cm of distance, as well four 50W LEDs are not as powerful as the 600W HID or LED panels that are usually used in grow tents. I will of course keep an eye for signs of light and heat stress, but I suspect that won't be a problem. Update Day 89. Today I decided to turn the plant around to see the back colas and their growth. Then I found some mites under the leaves after examining weird spots in a couple of leaves. It seems to me that there was not enough airflow to deter the mites from making home in the back leaves, when compared to the front leaves of my plant. Lesson learnt, rotate plant often, ensure good and even airflow. I didn't find any webs beside a really small one seen on the video (most affected leaf). So, I think I found them mites early. I only found this kind of damage on very few leaves, and each leave contained less than 8 mites (at least that I could see) and a couple of eggs. So it seems that paying close attention to my leaves saved me from an out of control infestation. Anyhow... I removed all of the leaves that had even a single mite, or a single mark of discoloration. Also, I disinfected the grow tent, top of soil and lower part of the branches by spraying them with a 1/4 tbsp of bleach per liter of water. After that was completely dry, I mixed one part rubbing alcohol with 9 parts water and misted both sides of the leaves and even the buds directly (ethanol evaporates easily, so there shouldn't be residues left after it dries completely). I got these remedies from https://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-plant-problems/how-to-get-rid-of-spider-mites I will apply them every 3-4 days and keep a good eye on the leaves. Prevention is key, and some aspects I could've considered before are: 1. not grow any other plant next to my cannabis 2. Don't come into my indoor growtent after tending my outdoor plants. 3. Ensure even and plenty airflow. So, I attacked back strongly. I cut more leaves than those that showed damage, to increase airflow. I will be on the watch for pests and will rotate my plant often, as well as spraying a few times every week, just to make sure they don't come back. I also am going to build a kind of metal wire cage to separate the colas further and make it harder for any pest to spread. Its only my second grow, but from what I've read online about mites, it's way more costly (time and money) to deal with an infestation than to strike them hard early. I guess that specially now that I noticed them before they even made webs. Look closely at your girls growbros ! Update day 90. So this morning I. Becker the trichomes and they seem to have gotten more cloudy. I am not an expert at that, but they are starting to be fewer clear and more milky. I will keep an eye on them, but it think harvest might be here very soon, probably closer to the 9 week mark than to the 12 week one (I'm about to finish the 7th week)...

Number 10 has been flowering strong. Has about a week left for feeding then to a 2 week flush. I gotta work with what the plant tells me. Thanks again fast buds Thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. 🌱🤜🤛 Happy growing

Hey growmies hope everyone is good missed last week as I wasn't well but anywho update on them girls the video is from Tuesday 7th July and the pictures from today unfortunately had to chop the smallest fadiest plant of the Lemon Meringue Auto from Tastebuds Genetics as a lower top succome to botryitis 13 days early (I got rid of the affected top and chopped the rest down to small buds and thoroughly washed the rest with fresh water) 95%milky - 5% amber so this one is going to be melow not all is lost so happy growing peeps stay humble and as high as humanly possible! 👊💚

First flowering week.😎

Week 10 is over, the girl is definitely not the most beautiful in general appearance, but I can safely say that her aroma is one of the most delicious to my nose, it is a really sweet smell, I think she is already counting the last days of her life, although I will try to keep her while she is still green :) Yes, in this growth I probably made a mistake by giving her Advancet Nutriens Macro, and before that she was using Biotabs, Lesson for me - Use only one Manufacturer :) the flowers are full of sticky trichomes :) Good luck to everyone.

Week 9, 3 gal transfer into 7 gal....Healthy no pesticides problems or Nutrient deficiencies at all before the flip to

Week 1 seedlings just starting. 4/6 cotys sprouted. First leaves coming through. Added a fan to grow strong stems.

Day 120, 9/5, Day 50 of flowering, full week always one week back: Net down and holding in support. The discoloration is starting to spread and I'm still unsure exactly what it is or if there's time to address it at this point. I've got the lights pulled up just bit more, just over 17" to the canopy at the closest spot. Humidity and Temp have been goldilocks as far as I can tell. PPM was 1100 and 6.38pH on the last runoff with small amounts of Molasses, Senizyme, and a tiny bit of CalMag. Bag is 60% FFOF, 30% Coir, 10% additional Perlite. Have been using FF trio as my base at half strength, only other additions have been the occasional Senizyme and some B-52 back in veg. Day 121: Posting a video of entire plant. Having to get a bit creative to keep this lady up. Some more twist ties and a tie up. Day 122: Will feed tonight. Planning a clean feed with a slightly high pH to bring closer to 6.5pH. Fed: 6.8pH, 6L, 71F, 135ppm - Runoff 6.69, 545ppm. Day 123: Going to spend some time tonight trying to get a view of the trichomes without the glare of the LED on, seems I might get a better idea of what's going on. My wife took these pictures in the dark with flash only this morning. Day 124: Well, I think I'm considerably farther along than I initially thought. I think I'm harvesting this weekend? I've at least 60-70% cloudy, and several amber as seen in today's pictures. These are likely the best micro shots I can get. I have a handheld magnifying glass that's hard AF to keep lined up on my phone camera, especially with my shaky hands. On the other hand, these are pretty decent zoom pics, LG V60, so here's some free advertising for them I guess. Considerable yellowing of the leaves seemingly over night. Day 125, Thursday 9/10, Day 55 of flowering: So, I've decided we won't be using the Flawless Finish. I would have, had I another week to water again. Just worried about adding anything as this is my last watering. On my previous clean feed I had a run off in the low 500s, so I'm just going to 'flush' again with plain Ph'd water. Lights on thru Friday, if everything looks good, lights off all day Saturday. Sunday: harvest, trim, and dry! Night 125: So after fretting a bit much over the past two days, I called the guy at my local grow (and home brew!) shop. He advised 50/50 one way or the other on the Flawless, but of it was him he's pass if he was harvest Sunday, as I plan. Watered with plain ol' pH'd water, 6.5 input. The first gallon was warmer ~75F and run off was 6.3pH/1300ppm, second gallon at 70F, 6.5pH/900ppm. Assume the higher ppm is from the higher temp in water for the first gallon, which was done on purpose. Tomorrow is the last day of lights. Day 126: will attempt to get some good trichome shots tonight Going to confirm she's cloudy and amber all over then shut the lights off for 24hrs. Day 127: Lights out! In the dark til tomorrow. While I couldn't get any good shots, I would say bud to bud my trichomes are 80% cloudy, 10% glassy and 10% amber. There are a few trichomes I was able to focus on for a second that seemed reddish or purple: no idea what that means. My wife was able to sneak into the tent and get some Trichomes pictures. See the red & amber! Day 128, Pre-Harvest Sneak Peek & Pics: Wildly underestimated the amount of time this would take. We started at 3pm, and by 10pm we had only done about half the plant, maybe a little more. Granted we got up for small walks around the block every hour and stopped to make & eat dinner at some point, but I would say we did a solid 4-4.5 hours of trimming. We only clipped the arms of what we trimmed, so the rest is still in the dark tent. Hopefully we finish tonight! We weighed only the largest buds we've trimmed so far and it came out to 140grams wet. Day 130: Welp, didn't finish trimming til this morning. Worth it though! With some already drying for 2 days and some newer, the weight is likely hard to gauge at this point. Looks like the smalls are mostly dry already and weight in at 16gr, the slightly larger grade buds weighed in at 32gr, and the largest buds weighed in at 126gr now. We tried our hand at dry ice hash for all the trim (77gr wet) and got 2gr out of the 73 screen, and 10gr out of the 220 screen! Picture posted of product. See you all in 2 weeks for the harvest post!

Day 35 and plants are going good alot of lst last few days some more to go photos of individual plants will be uploaded later

Solid nugs throughout. Smells great. Looks like a solid haul.

Day 43 - 49 My beauty has a problem :(. This my first growing with coco and showing my neophyte skills... Everything was going fine until I realized my lady starting have some potassium issues. So, I increased the fertilizers to provide more potassium. Additionally, I also wanted to check the run-off water. I have never done that because I thought I was doing a good job. After checking the run-off water, I realized that I screwed up :) I am sharing the data of the irrigation water: pH: 6.06 EC: 875 mS/cm And now please look at the run-off water data: pH: 5.16 EC: 7750 mS/cm Yes you read it right, and I am sure the EC and pH is literally f****d! So, there is no deficiency on the plant. She is literally drowning and there is huge nutrient lock problem... Yesterday (28/08/2024), I flushed her with 8L of water and ~6 pH. Today, I watered her with fertilizer like as always, then checked again the run-off water and NOTHING has changed... So, I will do a couple of more flushing, I hope I will manage to fix the problem but if the situation continues like that, it won't end up nice... I am open every kind of suggestions fellas.

Veg30, las plantas crecen bien, necesitan una pequeña defoliación y ajuste de LST, quizás mañana. Veg31, este será la última defoliación y entrenamiento durante un buen rato, se puede decir que ya tienen la forma deseada, ahora solo hay que dejarlas crecer. Veg34, se regó con pH 6.0 y EC 2.0, el drenaje tuvo los mismos valores, entonces el próximo riego será con una EC mucho más baja. Las plantas siguen creciendo bien, se quitaron un par de hojas, ahora tendrán 1~2 semanas más para que estiren antes de pasarlas a 12/12.

It's now the beginning of week 6, and the plant seems to have entered the ripening phase. I stopped using Big Bud halfway through last week and started Overdrive, which I’ll continue for the next 2–3 weeks. I’ll stick to this feeding schedule and plan to flush in about 3 to 4 weeks from now. The plant doesn't seem to be growing any taller, and the buds have likely stopped stretching, so I expect them to gain a bit more weight as they start to swell. Either way, the aroma and structure of the plant are really nice. I had quite a few issues with this plant during the vegetative stage that I had to deal with, like powdery mildew and cold stress. Thankfully, I managed to resolve them fairly quickly, but they did slow things down a bit. That’s why I’m actually quite satisfied with the results so far.

Flowering day 7 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The flowering started last week because otherwise the space in the small tent would end up being too narrow :-) Cuttings were taken from each phenotype beforehand. To change the flower, I rinsed it very lightly with clean fruits. With the next watering she gets a mix of grow liquid and bloom liquid before she only gets bloom. The heating mat works perfectly in the small tent and the parameters are all in the optimal range 🙏🏻👍. Now we hope that everything stays that way and that the cold days will slowly pass :-) . Everything was cleaned and checked. have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : Clearwater Seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
