April 5th - First day of the 2nd week above ground. Plants were watered early yesterday, and some dilute nutes were included. Rapid start & MediOne. - “no Foliar Mist this morning due to the breakfast meal” - 2nd and 3rd Nodes are being built as we speak Apr 6 - a.m. foliar mist for the tent - waiting a day to feed as the soil feels damp. Let it dry further Apr 7th - attempting to Re-Pot the Congo #3 x Bangi Haze this morning as the soil seems to be a solid plug. Air Holes around the perimeter over-nite, was a great suggestion, Thanx Growmie; but new Soil is where this is going. (ps there is another congo 3 seed in water just in case): done, video uploaded of the transfer - a little leaf discolouration led to a bit of Cal/Mag being added to a small drink for the plants. 60-80ml per plant. Overall plant moisture is dropping. April 10 - each plant looks much stronger and the crowns are solid green. Over-watering incident is drying out nicely. 100mls per plant was added this morning. CalMag & RapidStart are the only ingredients. - fresh Congo #3 x Bangi Haze seed germinated and placed in Soil this morning ( insurance for the one that is struggling ) - Tues pm or Wed am, I am going to run a volume of 5.9/6.0 pH water through the pots, to get rid of this 7+ pH. - foliar mist applied at lites-out. that is also on hold now till soil-flush. That's the plan anyway cheers

Hey everyone! It’s been another fabulous week of the girls fattening up getting ready for the ever looming harvest time! The colas are huge and glistening like a glitter ball! The back right girl has been on flush since day 51, 2 more went on flush on day 53, and the final girl front right went on flush today, day 56! Over the week I gave 3 girls a really heavy defoliation taking the majority of fan leaves off to allow good airflow and try fattening up those lower buds. It’s still impossible to tell if I prefer defoliation or not but we are getting close to harvest so should have a definitive answer to that soon! The back right girl has had absolutely no defoliation or trimming through her life cycle. I still regularly think back to when we broke one of the girls and transplanted, the cannabis gods were on our side warning us 4 girls will be huge, we were very lucky or would be seriously short of space as of now. As the girls are going to be harvested at slightly different times to ensure each are at their optimum, I have had to construct a dry box. How I built my smell free DIY dry box: Take a large cardboard box, cut an extraction hole in the top at one end and mount some ducting and seal the gap around the edge. Cut a flap in the opposite end at the bottom which will be the passive intake and promoting a draft through the hanging buds. Poke some holes in each end of the box using a screwdriver and thread some thin rope or string through the box tying the ends together once finished to give you sturdy locations to hang some pegs from. Finally I attached an extra bit of card on one of the flaps at the top; this overlaps the slight gap in the top between the flaps that could allow light to enter. Once completed I put the ducting into one of the lower intakes of the tent; the negative pressure in the tent then uses the air in the dry box as a passive intake creating a smell free area to dry your cannabis outside of your grow tent. This also keeps a slight breeze flowing through the box to ensure even drying. Happy toking guys and hope you enjoy the pics and vids, thought it was getting hard to tell how big these girls were in pics anymore so the vids help a lot, and I was lazy this week! :P

My choice to use soft touch stainless steel picture hanging wire as my LST ties is seeming to be a poor choice. the wire is not rigid enough making it make difficult to achieve the results I was looking for. Overall.. not super disappointed but I am working harder than I should be :p

Hello beautiful people! Another week of veg. All is going well so far. Been training the girls lightly. I added cal mag & silica supplement. I will continue doing this for the rest of the grow. My water is soft (low ec) so adding some call mag cant hurt. I've also read good things about adding silica so lets see if its a good addition to my nute schedual. I will probably put the net on them tomorrow. Will prob add anohter video on wednesday. Thats it! Love & Peace 4 all!

I guess I first have to extend a big thank you to James and the folks at RQS. The genetics of their “Northern Light” did not disappoint and this was a no fuss grow across all categories. This will be the only time you hear me refer to Northern Lights in the singular. It’s kinda like calling a “pickerel” a “walleye” - you just don’t do that up here😉. She took well to training, showed no signs of lockout or deficiency, and we were at the top limits of botanicare’s recommended feeding schedule the whole time. I’d call this typical NL - the scent wasn’t overly powerful, she grew somewhat squat and while I’m actually very surprised at the final weigh (thought it would be much less), the whole grow was typical of the strain in my experience. Possibly her biggest limiting factor was simply space constraints. The photos pretty obviously demonstrate that she got really crowded out by the neighbouring kush and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she’d have done a little better with some more room. That said, what isn’t “typical” are the effects. RQS touts this as a cup winner and I can see why. Had the opportunity to sample a little and WHOA! She Hits with a lasting, cerebral and euphoric effect that starts as a light, happy high. Not a crippling or dulling effect at all. Just everything you’d expect from a well rounded strain in general. Perfect. I almost wanna describe it as a classic sativa but I’ve been smoking nothing but a pure indica for so many months now that anything different is gonna feel that way 😂. Thank Christ for some new stash diversity: 1:! Many, many thanks to all those who cared to comment, suggest or converse on this one. It’s been a pleasure hearing from everyone and I did what I could to keep ‘er interesting : 1:. Next up will be a couple autos on RDWC before the summer outdoor season (and a significant indoor upgrade) is upon us. That said, I still might be outta touch for a little while due to “life developments”. All the best with that quality smoke folks😉: 1:😜! Seeya on the flip side.👊😎0

Hey! Welcome to my next grow. Decided to give autos a swerve for a while for a few reasons. I've had a bad run of germination from my last few attempts. Also some of the plants I have been growing have flowered far too early which would be a huge waste of valuable tent space. Big shoutout and thank you to the team at RQS. James contacted me and asked if I could run one of their strains in my setup. I'm a big big fan of blueberry strains so decided to give the Haze Berry a go! James sent me 5 seeds out along with a sweet box of goodies. To my delight all 5 seeds have germinated in water so all 5 are now in the tent. Seeds in soil today (11.02.19). They will undergo the full Ice Cream Parlour experience meaning topped at the 3rd node. Supplemented with 1200ppm co2. LST and Scrog under the usual Maxibright 315w laps and an extra LED to boost them along mid flower. Keep checking back for updates. I'll be giving this strain my complete attention aiming for a big yeild and quality buds. Update - I put seeds into water on 8.02.19. Moved the sprouted seeds to 20 litre pots on 11.02.19. Now 13.02.19 they have broken the surface of the coco and showing their cotyledons. I will start supplementing 1200ppm Co2 from tomorrow.

LST is working wonders. I'm getting a really nice canopy. These are really squat plants which is allowing me to fill the space nicely. This week we've added a fermenting bottle of sugar water and an evening session of classical music. Samantha is still a bit pale but each new node is looking better than the earlier sets of leaves. Nerea is stretching the most which is allowing me to really spread her out using pegs from the garden centre. Ana has fully recovered from being dripped on by salty water (I'm really sorry about that Ana). I've put the inline fan in place and turned the humidifier off. The last week has been the most stable. Humidity has been in a tight range 42-57% and the temp too 22ºC in the day dropping to 18ºC at night each and every day without me fiddling with anything. Let's see how the room copes as we head into warmer weather.
