Well its another update from down under.. and things are getting better with the Caramelo. She got badly burnt from my mistake of using too strong lime sulfur spray to treat spider mites and mold issues before they could take hold. And its kinda worked. lols...the mites are still there but reduced alot in number but I was almost ready to chop her after I saw how badly burnt all her new shoots were.
But Im glad I decided to wait a bit as she has recovered faster than expected and while im sure she still has issue at the root level from the rain drenching her for near on a week- she basically stunted after that and never showed much stretch at all when switching to flower-she grew maybe 15cms in height total after that so Im assuming some kind of root rot has her and any harvest will be a bonus. In saying that Im still not going to be suprised if she suddenly dies or gets badly infected with bud rot out of the blue as Im nursing her hard just to get her to this stage and in my experience a nursed plant may produce a yield but it will be weaker than its meant to be and reduced by around 50% of the yield you should have got. if she was indoor id have ripped her out after the sighs she was stunted presented and started over with a new plant. But out doors I dont have that luxury so I will nurse her thru and hope for the best but expect less than average results.
Zkittles though is loving life and just LOOK at her!! When you realize she was the same size as the Caramelo when the rain hit and now look at the difference- thats why i say when you see obvious signs of stunting-rip the plant if you can and start over, it may recover but if it was serious then the plant will never show its true potential and you may think those genetics are shit. Ive never grown the Caramelo before now so if i judge it on this result I will say the genetics are shit when the plant likely had root rot from 3 weeks before even switching to flower. And the BC buds hash plant is FINALLY flowering too now. For a 90% indica it sure is taking the longest to flower. I wonder if its the old school genetics at play here-This strain been around since the 70's while the ZkittleZ is a modern hybrid so maybe the newer genetics really are all they are cracked up to be. Thats why I love doing side by side grows out doors with diff genetics and see what they can really do. You should see my mates BC hashys- lmao, he said he wanted bigger plants than last year as he got "bonsai" plants from someone else. Now he has to tie down trees that are growing over his 6ft fence!! And they only just went into flower last week.
But on that note- Will update more now as things progress towards harvest. Cheers for stopping by and if your still reading this-nice work, most pple cant read shit these days so double points for making it this far.

The Cookie Girls are doing great 😊 Overall, I’m very pleased with the results so far.
At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so.
At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete.
At day 12 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point.
Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps.
The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, while I tucked, I snapped more than a couple of tops off, but the plant continues to thrive. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing.
I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. Will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

I am very happy with the results of this growth cycle. I have improved my techniques for growing plants (LST and topping) and methods for stopping mite infestation. I didn't get a great harvest(not too much big flowers), but I like the result, nice compact and very good smelling buds.I make a wet trimming process and after this I tried for the first time to wash the buds before the drying process, because I use the foliar products to defeat the mites and the result is excellent (the ganja tastes good when I smoke it). Next time I will try to grow bigger and denser flowers to get a bigger harvest💪💪😊. An excellent plant that I would recommend to beginners, who want to experiment without risking too much.

Echt een dikke koningin.
De Power Buds van Plagron doet echt wat het beloofd, superveel bloemknoppen!
Ik heb wel schutbladen weggeknipt die veel licht blokkeerden voor de lager buds.
Laten we kijken hoe ze zich deze week ontwikkeld.
Ik zal gedurende de week nog verse foto's updaten dus hou het in de gaten 🧐

😿 well they held out as long as they could but 2:3 plants folded like a cheap suit.. a combination of stretch and crazy weight.. these buds are as dense as cucumber lol, even harder that the impossibly dense Critical P's we grew.. I had to invite a friend to give them a squeeze, to ensure there's more than 1 party to this fish tale lmao 😹..long story short the tent is a mess, we staked a few the best we could and made a few mains comfortable to finish on their side..we don't plan to move them until they're finished.. the next run in this tent will have to be aesthetically pleasing to make up for this hideous finish..*balance*..all plants are fading fast after cutting their feed, we're doing water only and they should be fully washed out come harvest ❤️..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone!!💡🌱 😽💨

Buds are swelling and the crystals are really piling on, however the tent is a mess lol...I'm really looking forward to harvesting these plant... trichs are still mostly clear, we definitely have some time left

So this is how things are looking at the end of Week 8,going into week 9. Definitely one of my best grows yet, no issues whatsoever, great strain to run, if I like how she smokes (which I'm sure I will) I will definitely run her again.

Día 48.
El frío ha afectado bastante el crecimiento. Pero aún así va a salir algo interesante. Creo que la mala genética puede tener mucho que ver. Por el momento falta poco para que los cogollos se terminen de cerrar. Calculo que en una semana cuando se cierran ya paso a usar el overdrive. Entre tanto, ya está abriendo la semilla para la próxima madre. Calculo que en 3 días ya va a estar para poner en el sistema hidropónico. Seguiré viendo que sucede.

Desgraciadamente el cultivo se quedó estancado en altura y demás. Estoy decepcionado pero la próxima saldrá mejor, no haré tantas podas y quizás cultive automáticas para cosechar rápido

I'm just getting around to uploading for the week of 9/5
Unfortunately I haven't had the time that I hoped I would when I made the video, but I'm glad I made it so I don't have to remember everything😵
Went in and defoliated inner branches
Top dressed with Down to Earth Minerals 4-4-4, Good Girl got about a cup (as did all the other photoperiods) but Problem Child got 2 since she's such a heavy feeder. I decided to do a granular because of how much rain we've been getting, I really don't need to water and I didn't want to swamp them. And it also saves time.
Problem Child is continuing to improve and Good Girl is flowering like a champ.

Not much to say apart from they are getting bigger and all three seem to be girls now 11 days until I flip!
Edit: I'm happy with the training and keeping them low, so the aim is to flip this week

The ladies are thriving! We're deep into flower now and the buds are really starting to fatten up nicely, I removed the first yellow leafs. Trichome production is in full swing, and the aroma is getting more intense each day. Still following the BioBizz feeding schedule and the plants are responding beautifully no signs of stress or deficiencies. Looking forward to the final stretch! 👀

Just got done with trimming the 4x4 @greenhouseseedco Super Silver Haze / @blimburnseeds Silver Surfer Haze tent.
The final yield is exactly 1000g plus some (kind of a lot)that I smoke in the last 2 weeks 😃
Also got 6, gallon size ziploc bags filled with good quality trim for concentrate.
To be honest I was expecting a little more but keeping in mind that this grow I did not supplemented with bottled CO2 I think I’m good with the results.
Definitely I enjoyed a lot this grow and I’ve learned even more.

There we go, it‘s week #10 with Skunk #1 and these beautiful pictures. The EC is at 2.0 and the ph at 5.8... let’s see them still growing in the last 2 weeks. Njoy!
Day 64: New pictures online! EC is going up every day just like ph. Problem today is the heat! The water in the tank has exceeded 25°C and the temperature is not going to be cooler in the next week. That is why I added Purolyt. To prevent the water in the tank from getting algae and other sh*t. 😎
Day 65: Maybe it was too much Purolyt yesterday or the plants just give away all the leafes that are not in the light. Have to check tomorrow with lights off if something went wrong. Put 10liter pure water into the tank and ph'ed down.
Day 66: I know the water in the tank is too warm with 26° C. I will have to solve this problem. (I think I will use icecubes or something like that) But the flowers look pretty good. They stand the heat better than we do.(35° C outside in the city!)
Day 67: Still problems with the water temperature in the tank. Put an ice pack inside to get the temp down. Won't be helping long but for a moment.
Day 69: Still problems with the hot summer. Heat is up to 31,2° C but the plants seem to like it. Water temp went down to 24.4° C after refilling 10l pure water. After that I checked the EC which is at 1.86 and ph'ed down to 5.6
Planning to harvest soon, maybe in one week, what do you guys think? The white spots in the blossoms are burned blossoms that contains no thc or cbd. It looks like an albino flower to me. 😌 I can't avoid them because the tent is too low.
