Three weeks into flower and things are moving along. I defoliated some of the lower branches and spread out a few branches here and there. Other than that it's the same situation as always. Nutrients are pumping and lights are beaming. Everything is running smooth and all is well with the world. Like some namaste shit going on around here at the moment. Could very well just be the calm before the storm...

This week, I have been trying to manage stretching. I have been trying to keep temps low for the first couple of hours of daylight, but the stretching seems to happen during the dark period. I am pretty much completely out of screen holes for training, so I have been tying down tall shoots for training as best as I can. The canopy is only about 8" thick, but I continue to remove fan leaves to improve air flow. Some spots get condensation when the lights go out. I changed the timer on one light to go off 5 minutes after the other to give my equipment the chance to lower humidity before the temp drops. I added a couple more fans to hit some spots that weren't moving enough. It seems like removing fan leaves is one step forward, two steps back because each time I remove a lot of fan leaves, the plants come roaring back with more growth than before. I am ready for the stretch to end before my scrog becomes just a skeletal support system. I have spare nets in case they do need support. My initial 20 gallon mix clocked in around 600 ppm, but it spiked over 900 the next day. I have been adding 5 gallons of plain water every day, and the ppm stays around 550. I guess that is the concentration they want. Funny, I thought this strain was going to devour nutrients. I have no deficiencies whatsoever. I did have one issue after the rez change. I noticed the solution was not getting to all of the buckets. The GH Waterfarm kit I am using has 1/2" tubes which are blue and translucent. There was algae completely blocking 3 of the tubes. Fortunately, I had the foresight to install shutoff valves on the buckets, so removing and cleaning them was easy. There were some roots beginning to grow into the tubes which will become a problem in the coming weeks when they begin to clog the tubes. I don't know what I'll do since I can't lift the buckets, but I will figure something out. My opinion of this expensive bucket system is not pleasant.

Everything seems to be going great for them to all be random bag seeds! Temp is staying a little higher than I would like trying to figure out some ways to cool it down may just order some new lights!

WEEK 9 - (04/25/2021 - 05/01/2021) Day 67 (Week 1, Day 1 - FLOWER): 04/25/2021 Today marks the first official day of the flower cycle. Light timer has been adjusted to 12/12. First 12 hour dark period begins at 5 a.m. on the morning of 04/26. I would say 70-75% of the first screen has been filled. ½ strength nutrient feeding today. Tap water: 220ppm, 8.2 pH, 70℉ + FF Grow Big: 5ml/gallon = 45ml/9 gallons + FF Big Bloom: 7.5ml/gallon = 75.5ml/9 gallons + FF Tiger Bloom: 5ml/gallon = 45ml/9 gallons + FF Cal-Mag: 2.5ml/gallon = 22.5ml/9 gallons + Fish Shit: 2ml/gallon = 18ml/9 gallons + HydroGuard: 1ml/gallon = 9ml/9 gallons + pH Down: 14ml (6.5 pH before adding) Mixture: 910ppm, 6.1 pH, 70℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1 - 1510ppm/600ppm, 5.8 pH JB#2 - 1530ppm/620ppm, 5.7 pH AP#1 - 2500ppm/1590ppm, 5.7 pH AP#2 - 2260ppm/1350ppm, 5.8 pH GC#1 - 2490ppm/1580ppm, 5.8 pH GC#2 - 2510ppm/1600ppm, 5.7 pH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 71 (Week 1, Day 5 - FLOWER): 04/29/2021 Watered plants today. Glookies #1 gave off a really high ppm reading. Don’t think it was accurate. Tap water: 220ppm, 8.7 pH + HydroGuard: 1ml/gallon = 9ml/9 gallons + pH Down: 28ml Mixture: 230ppm, 6.2 pH, 68℉ ppm/ppm = runoff/soil JB#1: 1320ppm/1090ppm, 6.7 pH JB#2: 1115ppm/885ppm, 6.5 pH GC#1: 3540ppm (seems too high) GC#2: 2270ppm/2040ppm, pH 6.5 AP#1: 2410ppm/2180ppm, 6.4 pH AP#2: 1600ppm/1370ppm, pH 6.6 Well, the first week of flower is in the books. All but one plant is starting to grow pistils. These plants are getting a little out of control being cramped in this 4x4. I defoliated just before flipping to flower, and they needed another touch-up. I'm a little worried this will cause me to have to do frequent touch-ups or kill one or two plants and create some space. I'm leaning more toward killing 1 or 2 plants, rather than risk all of them getting overly stressed from too many defoliations. I completely underestimated how much these Cannabis plants would grow, especially once they started to stretch. I'm going to start saving the water that is collected through the dehumidifier. The plan is to use this water for the flush in the last 2 weeks of flower. Thanks for dropping in and showing some Aloha, everybody. And remember, don't drink and drive, smoke and fly. See you next week. 🙏

She spread her wings this week. Lower leaves widened and color deepened. I added more Bio365 around her base to support the stretch and keep her rooted. No top dress. No sprays. She’s growing in silence, absorbing the rhythm of the light. Every new node a sign she’s preparing. No water was added this week, and the self-watering reservoir was maintained.

Big change as they go into big pot and three stay as solos. Re potting wasn’t as easy as I’d hoped and the roots got messed about but I was as gentle as can be 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

The girl has experienced some interesting changes outside this week, from +30 days to +3 nights, but it seems she is still thriving. I have done a main flower cut because I am going on vacation and will leave the girls alone for 10 days and therefore I don't want them to grow out, it all depends on the weather conditions :) good luck to everyone.

Das obere Drittel wird geerntet, sehen wunderschön aus. Die Qualität wird von Grow zu Grow immer besser. Super Juicy, richtig lecker und einfach wunderschön wie aus dem Lehrbuch. Sind nun am Trocknen danach kommt der Rest ab.

Hey growmies, This week was about hands on the plants. The plants are hungry since I switched last week to 12/12. I've been feeding them every other day since it usually takes 2 days for the ppm to drop sufficiently. On the 15th, I've defoliated all the plants and cutted some offshoots that weren't worth it on the Tropicanna. Every day I've been adjusting the lines so they're as even as they can be at the cannopy. Hope next week the 2 photos are alredy flowering Good grows

Day 73, took another batch if clones three days after taking the 2nd batch so now I have 80 clones that will root in 11 to 14 days. The sun is hot again back to +30C° day temps, I was to lazy to take individual photos of my mother plants. I'll give the plants 10 days to recover from the stress from taking cuttings. Day 75, last day in the tent for my mother plants, tonight there going inside boxes for 3 day of darkness so that the plants forget the 18 hrs veg lighting to follow the sun. 2nd batch of clones to veg for a week before going outside to flower. Mothers in boxes they will come out on the 24th September

Day 43 (Second Grow, Flowering Phase): Hey everyone! We’re well into day 43 of our second grow and deep into the flowering phase. 🌸 The transition has been amazing to witness, with our plants showing significant bud development. The plants are producing beautiful, dense buds, and it’s incredible to see the daily changes and the rapid development. We’ve been maintaining the humidity between 50-60%, but we’re keeping a close eye on it to prevent any issues. We’re considering whether to get a dehumidifier to bring it down to the ideal 40-50%. The SCROG net continues to work wonders, ensuring even light distribution and supporting the heavy buds. Our Timor shield mantis is still patrolling the garden, keeping pests at bay naturally. She’s become quite the guardian! The plants are looking healthy and vibrant. We're excited to see how they continue to develop over the coming weeks. Any tips or advice for optimizing this stage? Let us know in the comments!
