2/20/22 I think I have everything dialed in for the most part. Trying to make sure this living soil is staying wet without water the plants too much. Think I need to up it a little, soil in certain areas is drying out much faster than others due to the light mostly. Lowered my light to 18" I felt deep down, maybe 5-6inches, the soil was dusty dusty dry. I am now actually watering half a gallon to each container around the outside with my garden sprayer. I make sure to get the top inch wet with a mist and then glob some water in there w/o sprayer nozzle 💦💦💦 2/21/22 noticed curling on bottom leaves. Did not change anything 2/22/22 noticing more curling, the beginnings of curling maybe on the second set of leaves 😕? I dropped the fan from speed 5 to speed 2 to hopefully raise the humidity. It's working and is now at a comfortable 57%. Not ideal but much better than 42% for veg 😅 2/23/22 noticing curling on all 4 plants on both the first true leaf sets and second (1 leaf and 3 leaves ea). I moved the light to 24", which is 33% further away and according to my $40 lumen meter, about a 28% reduction in visible light FWIW. Finally put up a little oscillating fan setup on a rudimentary iPad music-stand mount. It's loud as hell, need to look into a quieter fan lol 😆

Week 5 ----- Day 29 ----- Fed 1100ppm at 6.4ph 23 Liters Everything's good. No real updates. Front right Glookies stretched a bit but has stopped. Plants are perfect, couldn't ask for a better beginning to week 5. *Update* Easy day, end of light cycle. 3 new pics. ---- Day 30 ----- Some fun photos today for this easy day. Humidity in basement FINALLY hit 40% this morning. Within 5 days it should be 30-35% residual basement and 45% tent for a good residual humidity. The hand shot has my fingers and palm forward from the bud tip, the bud tip is actually past my hand but it's nearly impossible to get a perfect shot with my arm in the tent and my other one far out trying to take a photo i can't see. The Tropicanna Popcorn nugs are already bigger than my thumb... gonna be fun in 4 weeks to see bud finishing sizes Wedding Cake - Cherry HubbaBubba smell Tropicanna Glookies - Pink Bubblegum with a strawberry like hint peaking through. Tomorrow is feeding. Today is just emptying water from buckets from dehumidifier. *knock on wood* it's easy streak from here on out... 35~ days roughly left. here we grow!! *** Update *** Took some measurements. Wedding cake is monstrous already. Upto 1.5 inch wide, 14inch long (it was longer than the 12" ruler). Popcorn nugs on Tropicanna Glookies already 1inch wide 3 inch long at the top. Beaaautiful. Slow and steady from here on out. ----- Day 31 ----- Beautiful as usual. Fattening up nicely. 1200 ppm 6.4 pH 23 Liters If anyone is wondering why I switched to Blackstrap Molasses I put up the Nutrition Facts.. in 20 grams you have carbohydrates, potassium, Calcium, Iron, B6 Vitamin, Magnesium, Zinc.. and that's only the "significant" nutrients (Human based for that picture) It also contains micro traces of copper and more. pH is quite nice too, with the nutrient regiment i'm on, it finishes itself at 6.4pH so I don't have to manipulate it with pH up/down... Loving everything so far. Humidity in basement was 39% today, SO damn close. Tent closed at lights on (highest residual humidity point) was at 48% ... woo hoo 3% more to go!!! ------ Day 32 ------ Wow. Wedding Cake larger buds I can't even wrap my hand around.. These buds are going to be mooooonstrous. Humidity was under 40% in basement, tent was 48% this morning. Great news for me. Easy day, pretty much standard operating procedures from here on out.. feed, drain dehumidifier, strengthen stems by shaking plants, open/close tents... rinse repeat. Both plants are amazing, great genetics so far regarding bud structure building/plant size. ----- Day 33 ----- 47.5% residual humidity Fed at 1150ppm 6.4pH 23L Everything's perfect, 30~ days left. ----- Day 34 ----- 48% humidity in tent, i'm a happy camper. Everything's perfect. Bulk has started, front right Tropicanna Glookies had double in thickness and diameter top buds of most stems. Wedding cake 14 inch stem I've named Big Bertha. Excited to watch her fatten up on the couch so-to-speak. I'm now on autopilot. Fed yesterday while half asleep, didn't even remember doing it. Thank god I take pics of ppm/pH before every feeding for data. One more feeding this week before week 6 happens tomorrow. This week Liquid Koolbloom ends, KoolBloom Dry begins for maximum bulk on week 6 first feeding (2 days into week 6) ----- Day 35 ----- Last day of week 5!!! Fed at 1150ppm 6.4ph 23L Plants are perfect, humidity is great. Smell is RAMPED up now. Strong candy weed smell.

22.12 • Cal/mag deficit looks solved, plants look healthy 23.12 • last watering was 1L / Pot right after repoting on 20.12 , right now soil feels moist 25.12 • added a bio CO2 reactor (4x 1L bottles with 800ml water, some mashed tomato and 100g sugar, 10g moist yeast) 25.12 • rotated one of the lights to maximize illumination 26.12 • watered all plants with 1L 26.12 • CO2 ppm went up from +-400 to +-600 i hope for some more as i increased room temperature to 26°C, (yeast should react more due to increased temp.) 27.12 • sunburn as the lights were under 30cm distance 27.12 • CO2 wasn't working when i arrived this evening, perhaps i used too much yeast, perhaps it was too cold, perhapy i need bigger bottles...either way: i removed 3/4 from the bottles and refilled water/sugar/tomato

8-22-25. 6 weeks today. Plants are growing well as they transition into flower. They have put on a lot of height the last few weeks but I suspect that that will slow down soon. Starting Monday they will get their first flower nutrients. Looks like they made it through the hottest part of the summer so hopefully we turn a corner and get cooler temperatures. I appreciate all the feedback and interest from everyone. Happy growing !! 8-23. Found some space age style plastic plates at the local 2nd hand store. Wasn’t trying to go stylish but seem to match the decor. Hope they aren’t too gaudy 😂 8-25. Got fed cn veg and flower today. Seems to be taking everything well. Being that they get sun then grow light 24/7 they are very thirty. I will give big bloom and some molasses in a few days. I’ll also do a top dressing of bonemeal. Starting smell a little but so far so good. 8-26 plants been thirsty but it’s 94 outside so that to be expected. Gave a light top dressing of bonemeal with saved rain water. Still warm in grow room at night but little by little it’s cooling down at night. Shorter days help too

Great climate, ideal. After careful consideration, valued the considerable size of the plants, the flowering stage and the yellowing of the bottom canopy , I decided to feed one last time with veg nutes at half dose. This will be followed by 2 waterings of water only and then a boost of flowering nutrients. I love this strain. She's blooming very well, quickly just like she was growing indoor. For a couple of days it has been emitting an extraordinary citron/diesel smell and now becomes to be sticky. Expected harvest time: 3rd/4th week of September. Thanks for following, I ❤️ you

Semana 8 ( 3 Dezembro - 9dezembro) Alimentada dia 5 dezembro Runoff EC: 1.56/ pH: 6.5 9dezembro - regada com 1l de água. pH 6.0 Runoff pH 5.9/ EC: 0.65 Esta foi a planta mais afetada com a defeciencia de nitrogênio/cálcio ( também é a única das 4 que não é ideal para um clima mais frio), muitas folhas ficaram super amarelas e tive de as cortar.. espero que se aguente bem até ao fim e que o yield final não seja muito prejudicado 🙄😏 Sintam-se à vontade para me ajudar ehehe

This beauty is on autopilot at the moment. I’ve been watching the temps and doing what I can when I am home. It’s been soooo hot. My tent has been getting to 84 degrees regularly, I’m hoping that it won’t stress her out. I will be ordering a T8 in-line fan from AC infinity to accommodate the summer temps and RH and ensure good air circulation. Couple Of weeks still to go, she is a 9-10 week strain , but she is definitely proving to be worth the extra time. Her colas are getting nice and fat, and should be a good producer for me.

Growing feminized seeds from White Label Seed Company is an affordable and easy method of obtaining a high quality harvest. White Label was the first company associated with the Sensi gene-bank to make feminized varieties available to the public. As the popularity of growing feminized cannabis has grown, the number of White Label feminized varieties has increased to keep pace with the demand. Topping the plants after the 3rd node, in late stage once the 4th node start to push out. Spreading the plants to give them place to grow. ⛔️ Still no nutrients at this stage ⛔️ Only RootBooster ☝️ Cellmax BIO Soil is good enough for 2-3 weeks ⚠️ Lifting the pots to check the water weight, watering once a week when the pots get lightweight just before the soil start to dry, to keep it moist and wet ! (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Day 93. Second and third wave of chop has happened. Girls are really crystally and airy, leafy, stretched, look more like sativa, but some of them are queens of oil and stickiness and one beuty was pure black currant, felt like you are eating jam, not smoking spliff ;))) But a lot of them went to bubble hash or butter production. Still, first wave of chop brought me 120 of smokabelish crap ;)) Royal Gorilla clone brought in from green house, 3 most interesting girls left for watch out ;)) Freak show goes on !!! ;)) Day 98. Girls are going good. Stinky and crystally, just VERY VERY airy ;)) RQS RG clone finally adapted to lights, leaves are praying again, she is happy. That clone will go for a finish into dry room, i bought light, so its now veg, emergency flower and dry room .. 3in1 ;)) New tenants gave a visit, think they will movein in a week ;)) Thank You #SweetSeeds Happy Growing !!!

Another great week for the girls, I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed leave under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

They continue to grow. Some of the lower leaves are yellowing. We removed these shortly after this. Soon they will go into the one Gallon pots with 66% soil mixture and 33% Happy Frog.

We are in week 2 of the flowering. Today I added Bloombastic. The plants forgot they were superscrogged and just grew as fast as before. The height can be a problem in the next weeks, I hope the stretch is over now and they can concentrate on building flowers. Day 36 I gave them some more Bloombastic. And I took off almost every leave and small branch under the net because they would not get enough light and they shall concentrate on getting big buds instead of small flowers. Day 37: Due to size problems I decided not to take a picture of every plant every day but one pictures of all a day. Plus when the flowers are getting bigger, I will stay focused on the growth on some of them (not all, that is business secret 😆). Also I will take pictures of the finished flowers at the end, don't know yet of all or just a few (business secret). But I will definately tell the weight of 'em all in the end so stay tuned 😎 Day 38: I knew I would get size problems again. I brought them all under the net again. A few branches broke during that action. But that's just the way it is. They are too big so I have to find solutions. My solution is "getting them under the net". Kinda works out but I will see the result tomorrow, today it's been kinda tricky not to hurt them. Day 40: I put one branch under the net it was too high and did not get enough light because of that. Should be fixed now. The flowers are coming nice and slowly. I am so excited, I can hardly wait. Day 41: I had to put some branches under the net again.
