EDIT: I thought the girls were done growing verticaly but i guess not. I measured at 51cm 2 times in a row. I just went to check and theyre 58 to 60cm and still going. (Day 37) Growth: This week vertical growth slowed down while the branches are catching up. I had a nitrogen deficiency on all the girls. I still go by the water,water,feed schedule and i usually have 2 dry days between every watering. So they only had 3 feedings of Terra Vega all this time. I think ill do water feed water now that flowering has begun. Lets hope these girls will put on some weight 😁 I added 1 100W cob and will be adding more the coming months. I also have a tent on the way. Training: I defoliated the 4 girls that are in flower and stopped applying LST. #5 (1 week behind) on the other hand got manhandled lol. I accidentally broke off the top and she got supercropped and bounces back within hours. Nutrients: 2ml Canna Terra Vega>>>1.5ml Canna Terra Vega 1ml Canna Terra Flores 2.5ml Cannazym 1x per week

Week 18 Daylight 12h40 - ☀️7h40/20h20🌙 🌈Weather changed a lot during this 2 week, alternating sun and rain with medium temperature: low in the morning 8°C and 22/24°C the afternoon. Cold wind: Autumn is coming soon! 🍃 This is the middle of the flowering cycle for 2 plants and the beginning for the others; and it’s harder than I imagined. Interminable war against pests: caterpillars and leafminer flies (+ guest :aphids). However the environment is clean, there is some sticky traps, ventilation and preventives treatments (Neem Oil, Garlic/Laurel) but infestation are a recurring problem 😩. Majors reasons of the proliferation are the hot temperatures in greenhouse, the quasi inexistants natural predators, humidity, plants proximity. September is the reproduction period of the cabbage looper: a butterfly which lays eggs on plants giving some hungry caterpillars. Some others pests are attracted by the nitrogen added in soil (batguano) I did a serious defoliation, continue to check the plants morning and night to catch intruders, sprayed regularly with Neem oil. For the moment the flowering continues. -Brake Pad Breath: plant has definitely changed of physiognomy, branches are covered by a lots of resinous flowers with a pretty good smell. Indica dominance. Around 3 or 4 weeks till the harvest. It will be long: the plant is a victim of pests and caterpillars and lots of leaves are damaged. -Flash Back#2: elegant plant, pretty good flowering since 3 weeks. Globally healthy despite of the pests aggression. Sativa dominance with long internodes distance and a vigorous stretch. -GMO x Zombie Kush: same difficulties against predators, late flowering, just initiated the flowering process but in a good way. -Royal Moby: the tallest one; around 170cm, not really adapted to dimensions of the growing space and not discrete. Plants was really shocked during the first wave of pests and after the sunburn. Late flowering, Sativa. 💦Watering : 2L/plants/48h -grower Master Floraison + Enyme -grower Master Floraison + pk 13/14 -grower Master Floraison + Cal/Mag

Hello growers and tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 There has been much change this week!! First there was a big defoliation done, I cleaned the bottom of the plants. All the growth that wouldn't amount to anything because the light doesn't penetrate that low. Also took off the biggest fan leaves to give more light penetration. Then finally switched to 12/12.. After just 36 hours after the defoliation there wasn't much change Some new growth..the colas are stacking nicely which is good. Hope they stretch some more still.. I'm still watering every other day, After the defoliation I watered with only Enzymes 2ml/L to clean the roots a bit then started with the nutrientes again. I dropped the amount of grow nutrients from 3ml/L to 1ml/L and started adding bloom nutrientes 2ml/L for now. I'll slowly be upping the bloom nutrientes and after week 2 I'll no longer add grow nutrients. That's it for this week. Stay tuned to see how they flower. Stay safe!

Wow!! It was sunny and hot all week! You can see that they almost doubled their size and are looking pretty much more healthy. That is also because I followed @MadeInGermany 's advice and decided to wait more until I had to water. They seem to have liked that, beacuse there is no more sign of Ca blocking in the leaves. And they grew very nicely, no need of everything. Also following his advice I will use Cal/Mag in the next watering. But, you know, I'm making it cheap... so I will use another home-made recipe: wood ash fertilizer, which include those nutrients and some that are needed in flowering stage -which seems to be starting, so next week will have the flowering label-. It also degrades the N in the soil that could be still causing a little overfeeding (leaves' tips are a bit burnt). However, I admit that my mistake was overwatering from the beggining. Lesson learned! No watering for the whole week and the plnat didn't seem to worry about it. Man! If only it had been this sunny all the time! Plants look very healthier and are way bigger, with huge new leaves. A little amount of pistils showed up in the last days, so I guess it is the moment for stretching. Knowing that, I decided to do a little training on Sweet, as it is the one a bit behind. You can see in the last picture how I took a couple leaves that were blocking light from side branches-future bud sites- and taped them, so they didn't. If results are good I might do the same with Rebel, but I have a feeling that she'll do good without it. Sadly, next week will be all rainy and cloudy... Nothing to do tho. Any commentary will be thanked, even if it is about how cheesy the videos are! 😂

Hey guys :-) Today I start the other 2 Runtz parallel to the Spring Cup diary :-). A few days ago they were germinated and planted :-). All 3 came. 🌱🙏🏻 I wish you much fun with this Diary :-) Let it grow 🌱👌👍 Type: Runtz ☝️🏼 Genetics: Zkittlez x Gelato 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Flower Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 220 W 💡💡☝️🏼 Earth: Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Canna Bio ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 6.0 💦💧

Seems like all is in order. I had to go away for a week because of an emergency and luckily a friend looked after them, only thing he wasn’t sharp on was training and defoliating which is why it got so big and bushy last week. Still no nutrient deficiencies. I visited a website called cannastats a month ago and it actually breaks down ppm requirements for each element. Was a lot of work to get my spreadsheet to calculate properly, but really seems to be working. If anyone wants further details on this, feel free to DM me. I think the big stretch last week was caused by high temps, as a window was left shut when it shouldn’t have been, and also the light wasn’t in the middle because my friend moved the lights up and didn’t realise, so the colas at the back stretched more... that’s my theory anyway. Overall all is good, switch back to 3200k bulbs again today. Need a wide angle lenses to take a photo of this thing, she’s huge...

Day27 video

Soo gut

Day 18 Last day vegetation

Been busy kinda got behind wit my diary...pots officially ran outta nutes. The switch to 10 gal pots should fix all that. Ill give em a little coconut water til harvest and we should be good. Ph is a little low so I will add a little lime...figured it wouldnt hurt or am i wrong and its 2 late? Plan to take em to at least week 9 so it wont mess up my "flush". I dont think i sacrificed much, if any in yield...think the strains played more of a role in that so Im going all in on the organics/dry amendments. So pumped for next run that this one is startn to get on my nerves.

Die Dos Si Dos sieht so unverschämt gut aus. Und das obwohl sie erst 8 Wochen alt ist. Der Geruch ist schon ausgeprägt. Bisher zeigt sie aber kein besonderes Terpenprofil. Die Lemon Haze zeigt eindrucksvoll ihre Sativa-Seite und legt ein starkes Längenwachstum hin. Es ist spannend zu sehen, wie sich die unterschiedlichen Genetiken bei gleichen Bedingungen verhalten.

Missed 7th week. She looks very well, big and strong, in the process of creating big buds, lots of hope for this one.

Día 86 (01/01/2024) Riego solo con H2O con pH ajustado 6,21 Día 87 (02/01/2024) Avanzando hacia la cosecha. Observo algunos tricomas ámbar 😁 Día 88 (03/01/2024) Al inspeccionar y tocar los cogollos, vuelven a salir los aromas a skunk y naranjas. Delicioso! 😍 Día 89 (04/01/2024) El aroma se está volviendo complejo en esta recta final, como naranjas, skunk y con toques picantes de fondo. Impresionante 😍 Día 90 (05/01/2024) Mañana la cosecha! Hoy le tocaría riego, pero como mañana es la cosecha, la dejo con 24 horas de estrés hídrico. Día 91 (06/01/2024) Al final cosecharé un día más tarde. Los tricomas están prácticamente perfectos, con la mayoría nublados y alguno ámbar Día 92 (07/01/2024) Día de la cosecha! 😍💥💨😁 Peso húmedo 150 Increíble rendimiento para 92 días desde semilla, y con el estrés hídrico de los dos últimos días Ahora comenzamos el proceso de secado (7-10 días) donde pondré la semana de la cosecha, y posterior curado (+30 días), tras lo que tendremos el informe de humo Gracias a todos los que estais al otro lado de este diario!

. **PATHÉ DISPATCH — THE TERPENE FRONT, WEEK ELEVEN** *[newsreel crackle, brass fanfare]* GOOD EVENING, AMERICA. Two soldiers have fallen. And this week, citizens, we must report a TRAITOR of a DIFFERENT sort. DATELINE: THE CHOP. Privates Apollo and Orange Haze — felled two days apart, HONORABLY, at the height of their aromatic powers. Apollo, whom the seed merchants PROMISED would smell of mango and tropical cocktail, delivered NEITHER — but detonated a LIMONENE payload so pure our correspondent nearly saluted. The marketing department, we note, remains AT LARGE. Orange traded her mandarine perfume for a warm, roasted, spicy haze — the smell, our man insists, "you only meet twice before you know it for life." *[ominous timpani]* BUT NOW — THE TWIST. And this one, AMERICA, comes from INSIDE THE MAN. The operation was timed at TWENTY MINUTES. A clean extraction. In and out. The chamber PRE-COOLED, the plan IMMACULATE. *[record scratch]* It took him ONE HOUR. And WHY, citizens? Trimming, yes. Securing the colas, certainly. But also — and this program has obtained the notes — our correspondent LINGERED. He stood among his fallen troops and, we quote, "briefly inhaled all the terps he knew he was losing this instant." He STOPPED TO SMELL THE CASUALTIES. And every minute he lingered in mourning, his own body — warm, sentimental, BREATHING — raised the temperature of the very chamber built to preserve them. HE WAS THE HEAT SOURCE. The man wept over the volatiles, and the weeping cooked them. There is no radiator to blame this week. There is no fan. There is only a grower who loved his plants SO MUCH he stood there warming the room with his GRIEF. *[stern voiceover]* "Nobody has to know," our correspondent reportedly told himself. *This program knows.* *[timpani, softer now]* AND SO THE TENT STANDS NEARLY EMPTY. One soldier remains — Private Cinderella Jack, transferred beneath the blue light in a NET-MANEUVER of such delicacy she never felt the ground move. She is now, in our man's own words, "the landlord." He reports the space feels "clinical." He reports that time "stands still." He reports — and AMERICA's heart goes out — that he is thinking of getting a PET. Hold the line, soldier. Trim jail is temporary. The buds are drying true. *[fanfare, film flickers out]* THIS HAS BEEN A DISPATCH FROM THE TERPENE FRONT. STOP SMELLING THE CASUALTIES. GOODNIGHT. --- Detailed Notes: Harvesting 2 Cultivars --- Day 71 marked chop day #1 for Mephisto Genetics: Apollo Haze (x Mango Smile) Auto. Super Orange Haze Auto followed 2 days later. For Apollo, there is no mango to be found, the tropical cocktail is also amiss. Once again I am a bit plastered by Mephisto's terp descriptions - secretly still thinking they might potrait what they favorite pheno smells like. Aha! - you may think to yourself - Pete's got no terperinos! To the contrary: Mephisto's Apollo Haze delivered a hardcore limonene monoterpene explosion on trichome rupture, that retained very well into age. Her bud structure & density possibly acted as evaporation shielding against higher temps here, under which limonene usually get's lost. Super Orange Haze Auto aged fast & well, at the same racey pace as Apollo. Her mandarine aura had vanished a week ago (this is peaking my interests as I would love to retain that). Caryophyllene, with a thick spicy tingly and warm wooden / almost roasted note, has been taking over. It is that typical haze smell you have to encounter only twice until you know. Harvesting Process --- I had to remove their colas individually from underneath the scrog, as not to damage the flower sites. A scrog net, while costing money, is cheap to replace compared to bud site damage, where it feels like I groomed many trichomes individually. The scrog would have collapsed, causing Orange to tip over, should I have cut her out instead. Instead of 20 minutes as planned, I took well over an hour to trim tons of excess foliage, tackle transfer & securing, take last photos and just briefly inhaling all the terps I knew I was loosing this instant. The chamber was pre-cooled, but an hour of me in and near the tent alone caused a huge swing. This bothered me a lot in hindsight, so I went a little crazy on fathoming the entire thermal chain from live plant to closed drying chamber. For Auto Cinderella Jack, the entire grow tent needed to approach drying temps before even starting to snip anything. Auto Cinderella Jack --- Now the sole owner of the space, ACJ was getting a lot more light ballast with two other strains failing to absorb radiation. Moving her underneath the blue metabolite factory light was a priority for her last days, but removing the scrog was simply gonna cause too much damage. Instead, I removed the scrog from the tent poles, left ACJ to hold the net for a bit, moved her, then re-applied the hooks on the opposing poles. This turned out to be a neat little maneuver - ACJ kept trucking on. run#5 is coming to an end. The space feels clinical now and not like a home to 3 happy plants. Mentally, this can be fairly draining, as cultivars are becoming beloved guests in the household. No plants, no product, risks of botrytis ruining everything - the prospect of trim jail under special hot summer circumstances is daunting. This is the empty stretch, that little dead phase, where time just stands still. I think I should get a pet. See you next week, when we have another look at the state of Cinderella Jack, the landlord.

With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

the weather is just wonderful at the moment. i'm happy to be growing them so early in the year. they took to the topping really well, and they also coped well with the breakage last week and have healed.

esta semana seguimos doblando y podando alguna que otra ramita . Al parecer la nº1 ,la Triploide (tres ramas mismo nudo), que pasó a ser diploide (dos ramas mismo nudo) después de podar el primer apical parece ser que ha vuelto a Triploide y esto podria dificultar las otras dos ramas que van más avanzadas por lo que me decidí por cortar y así que siga diploide. A los 40 dias volví a podar los segundos nudos de cada rama dejándolas ahora si listas para pasar a floración en un par o tres de dias. más un agarre de las ramas a las macetas y así ir deshaciéndome de los dobladores , estos estan quedando pequeños. A los 41 dias me dió por cambiar de posición la nº2 y ponerla en el lugar de la nº1, la triploide. La nº2 está creciendo algo más vigorosa que las otras dos y la nº1 va por el camino de quedarse algo más enana. La nº3 seria un intermedio.

Hello Diary. We have reached the end of the third week of flowering, Sherbet Queen is already a real beauty. She reached 89 cm which is one cm more than last week which means she has reached her final height. The flowers fill nicely, the scent is more and more intense and they stick to the fingers to the touch. The leaves are dark green in color and shine in the light. I cleaned the lower part of the plant earlier so that there is a good flow of air through the plant itself. Impressive plant, shape, height, ideal dimensions for my Farm. I water the plants every two days, they drink really a lot of water. This week I added Bio Grow, Bio Bloom and Alg-a-Mic from BioBizz to one watering. The temperature is around 29 degrees, during the day it even rises a little above 30 degrees, but so it is in summer, I hope it will not cause stress to the plants. Here’s what it looked like last week. 20/06/2021 - Day 36. Watering. I added 1ml / lit CalMg to 8 liters of water, I lowered the p.H. at 6.5 and with that amount evenly watered all three plants. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 60% humidity. 22/06/2021 - Day 38. Watering. This time I just regulated p.H at 6.3. I did not add any nutrients. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 47% humidity. 24/06/2021 - Day 40. Watering. I added Bio Grow 1.5 ml / lit, Bio Bloom 1 ml / lit and Alg-a-Mic 1ml / lit. p.H. I dropped to 6.4. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 31 degrees and 52% humidity. 26/06/2021 - Day 42. Watering and photography. p.H. I dropped to 6.5. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 45% humidity. That’s all from me for this week, thank you all for your support, see you soon.

Done a tiny bit of defoliation. Have not spotted any signs of hermy yet, will see how we go next week. Good week again. Plants living the light, getting around 900-1200 ppfd according to Photone app.
