*********************************************************************************************************** START OF WEEK The Hawaiian Lion (right) and Tricho Jordan (left) are the two plants that dominate the face-on tent photos, and for good reason. Each of those plants is twice the mass of either Chimera. The HL is superior in bud sites, resin, and terp intensity, but the Tricho and the good Chimera #3 are both not too far off in resin production and aroma profiles. The weird runt is frosting up too, so we're looking at getting something unique and quality from each. That is, if I don't muck this up. I fed last night, and as part of that process, I mix my nutrients in a four gallon batch at a double(ish) strength. I then add that to my reservoir, which is shut off at that time. This allows me to work in the res, to both get the ppms right and the ph within range. I just use plain water to level off the ppms and then I adjust for ph. What I didn't do last night is TURN back on the flow of water from the reservoir. However, you wouldn't have guessed it from how the plants woke up today (see first image). I normally check the bases of each plant daily, and in doing so today, I noticed that one felt slight dry. All tanks were empty, but all plant bases were somewhere between wet to moist. This is how I spot check, and it's worked in the past. This isn't the first time these tanks have had a catastrophic issue leading to an unexpected no flow sitch. There's a filter that sits between the reservoir tank and the primary feed line. That has unexpectedly clogged on me in the past, but with no deleterious effect to the grow. That was caught within a day as well by testing the plant bases. I don't blame autopot for either event. Obviously, last night I was a baked potato and just forgot a step. The clog is because I use yucca in my mix, which is an organic material that over time in the reservoir leads to build up. I'm afraid to introduce hydrogen peroxide into the set-up, so I'm just maintaining my reservoir by cleaning it fully every other week for now. I don't want to kill off the bacteria in the environment. I'm also using some fungus, too, so I'd rather promote coexistence of a microbiome than serialize it, especially considering the plants seem to be on pace. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** END OF WEEK Shit! I've got a herm. I've found four nanner clusters this week, all on the lower third-ish of the Hawaiian Lion. Someone, thankfully, spotted it in the purple flower pics. Turns out, while super fun to look at, those sweet violet flowers turned into harbingers of mother fucking doooooommm. I've never seen this before. I guess I've been fortunate, but I've also never had a camera this capable before either. I had no idea how small these pee pee's were. I guess I was expecting girth, but shame on me for not knowing. I rapidly learned as much as I could over the last two days, and I've come to the conclusion that I may or may not be screwed. The consensus on my situation ranges from either burn my tent down to thank ja for the blessings of feminized seeds. We're riding this baby out. I think I have fifteen to twenty days left and I think these little nanners might have been in action for ten days, hopefully less. I don't know what kind of damage will be done in that time, but honestly, I'm not too worried. While disappointing, my use case is a personal supply of bubble hash and flower rosin. If it's seedy, I'll wash most of it. I don't know what caused it, but I'm thinking a light leak or genetics. The environment is dialed and that plant hasn't shown one sign of anything less than vigor throughout. The spots that developed the purple flowers (lower bottom half to bottom quarter) are all in the vicinity of where I found the herms (four locations) and these locations are close to the edge of the tent along the zipper. I'm vigilant about keeping my tent and grow space in order, but a light leak can't be ruled out. I'll have to test that after the harvest. The herm flowers are minuscule and I'm surprised I found them. The camera was a great tool in this case. I sprayed the areas that I removed the nanners and then dried it, but for what it's worth, I think the damage was already done. That water bit felt more like ritual, but I'm still feeling optimistic that I'm not totally hosed.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

This week the Apricot continues to progress steadily, showing clear signs of genetic maturity rather than any developmental issues. Bud formation remains consistent across the canopy, with calyxes slowly swelling and stacking more tightly, especially on the main colas. Trichome production has increased noticeably, extending further onto the sugar leaves and giving the buds a visibly frosted appearance. The terpene profile remains the standout feature: the apricot jam aroma has intensified, becoming richer and more pronounced with each day, without any harsh or green notes. The plant shows excellent nutrient tolerance at the current feeding level and no signs of stress, so the conservative approach is maintained to preserve flavor and aromatic complexity. Overall development suggests a slightly longer flowering window, but the quality trajectory looks very promising.

7 Feb - Filled the reservoir with 1.5L each but looks like the water level thing doesn't work. Update: just watered with the Yucca extract to see how the plants react. Also accidentally broke a branch :( 10 Feb - Top dress tasty flowers + 1L water + yucca 11 Feb - Flipped to 12/12

Another week closer.... These girls have been a pleasure to grow so far they love everything you can give them ...no deficiencies no problems.....earlier in the week a slight tip burn but after 2 days they adjusted and ask for more.....as they are eating up the nutrients I am replacing and upping it each time...pushing these girls and they are showing there love....17 days since I switched the light and they are filling in nicely. Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out you're fellow grower

This new week since the soil is a soil improver specifically formulated for lawns, its task is to keep the pH around 8 and stabilize, there is peat that also acts as a buffer, I did a flush giving 2 liters of water since the vase is 3.2L at pH 5 to balance it with the runoff pH which is pH 8, since the pH is 8 the plant is unable to take nutrients as it should and therefore problems with curled leaves begin, which discolor, lose vigor (I wanted to do this experiment also for those who are new to it)

Welcome to Flower Week 5 of Sensi Seeds Mandarine Jam I'm excited to share my grow journey with you from my Sensi Seeds Project . It's going to be an incredible ride, full of learning, growing, and connecting with fellow growers from all around the world! For this Project , I’ve chosen the Feminized Photo Strain Mandarine Jam: Here’s what I’m working with: • 🌱 Tent: 120x60x80 • 🧑‍🌾 Breeder Company: Sensi Seeds • 💧Strain Info : 20-23% • ⏳ Flowering Time: 7-8weeks

I’m flipping 12/12 this evening. I had a little tip burn on a couple of leaves of the Fullgas. These were in the central area of the light so I just eased off a little on the light intensity and haven’t noticed any issue since. It’s also a little dark atm so will hold off adding the bio grow until next week. Update ** Ive upped the light power by 10% again and watered in 4ml of Alg a mic in 2L of water.

Test

Nutrient issues starting showing up. I used Mels square foot gardening soil mix and the chicken and cow poop has tons of nitrogen so i believe there was too much and started to get nitrogen toxicity..

🙈

1st Week of Vegetation, one of the Indicas (Hollands Hope) is early than others. Because of the weather and the cold, I preferred to put the seedlings under a 200W CFL bulb.

I fiori diventano sempre più compatti e incominciano a sentirsi sempre di più i profumi delle cime Sono riuscito a stabilizzare la temperatura a 24.5 gradi con la lampada al 100% di intensità luminosa a 45cm dalle cime Questa settimana per pulire un po’ il substrato ho dato 2 irrigate a ph 6.4 e circa 100ppm

Week 9 for White Widow by Greenhouseseedco, This girl is really due a transplant but I still have the soil cooking a few more days. Don't think ill be topping her anymore ill leave her at 16 tops, but will still be training her a bit to get all the tops with as much even space as possible while also keeping them as flat as possible. Shes getting another 2 months of veg so.. lets see what she can do.

Should probably start my 2 week flush at the end of this week but I want to harvest this plant and my other one(which is 2.5 weeks behind) at the same time so I'm probably going to try and push the feeding another 2 weeks until I start the final flush, trying to have this stay in flower for 10 weeks, the breeder says flowering period takes 8-10 weeks so I think I'll still be just fine. This week went well, the plants are slowly starting to fade and colors are starting to come out. Gonna follow through with my original plan and continue feeding lightly for the next week or two until I start the final flush. I also raised the lights a bit this week mainly to help and give more light to my second plant that stretched so much its main cola is hitting the grow light, and also to help prevent any foxtailing from occurring.

First week under big light, and in big pots. The light is at 50% giving me an average 550umol at 2ft. The ec fans are running about 50%. Total power consumption is around 600w so costing about 0.10 per hour to run.
