Week 14 in the books and all is going well. She continues to put on weight and density and smells absolutely amazing. A kind of earthy fruity aroma that I know will press into the excellent tasting rosin dabs. I've given what may be her last feeding and will start checking trichs to gauge how much longer she has left. I've done some light defoliation this week to promote light penetration and am very surprised how even the lower nugs seems to be fattening up into something impressive. A good thing since I didnt really lollipop her. Seedsman genetics really are nothing to turn your nose up at. I'm thoroughly impressed and have no complaints with this how this run has gone. I also have to acknowledge the switch to organic as a huge step forward in dialing in my grow. I just couldnt seem to get nutrients right with mineral based but have had no issues with any of my girls since switching ti BioBizz. Top notch stuff, I must say. I'm hoping we are nearing the end of this run as I cant wait to get her curing and pressed into something I can dab on as we roll into summer still in lock-down mode. That said, I definitely don't intend to rush her. :) Thanks for following along! Do me a favor and click "Like" if you like what you see here and let me know what you think in the comments.

Plantas sanas creciendo a full. Satisfecho hasta el momento con el resultado.

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Tag 31: Ich fange mit LST der Pflanze an. Noch etwas entlaubt und das scrog Netzteil eingebaut. Doch die Cookies Gelato wächst doch sehr sehr langsam in Vergleich zu meiner gleich alten Green Gelato die ja gleich alt ist 😕

This might be the last week before chop... Most pistils are already orange. Not a lot of smell in the grow room, the green one smells like green apple candy, and the purple/red one like grape bubble gum. I've had many humidity problems lately, thankfully Dr Zymes has got my back keeping the PM and fungus at bay.

The candy cush bounced back with resilience this week after the transplant. She is about to go into stretch and seems to be doing well this week.

Day 144 23/09/24 Monday (Start of week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag today. Seeing her starting to really take shape now, buds forming well, trichomes now flooding in. She's looking good 😍 Day 146 25/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron PK13-14. (Note to self/ I am loving the Scrog method for fems 😍💚) Day 148 27/09/24 Friday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today. Day 150 29/09/24 Sunday (End of Week) De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with Plagron PK13-14 today. Picture and video update tonight✌️💚

Week 16: *whewww* well technically this is the first full week of Flower... I followed the directions and went to 18/6 for "Early Flower".. but in the future I will refer to this as pre-flower and will start this about a month before going into Flower... I think this helps make the flip more pronounced and will help with a more consistent flower in my tent. Who knows tho? We do see pistils - so that's exciting... and tbh I was saying we vegged for too long.. but who knows, maybe we will have an extensive root system and will be able to support larger buds! Nothing is really a loss at this point, and I will say I'm even learning more about myself. I'm a thinker I like to process things, I like doing it with people.. and I don't mind making mistakes... but I rather them be calculated.. So I know what to do or not to do in the future... I'm realizing my partner is more of a tinkerer.. he always has big ideas and likes to use his energy to move toward them.... I think we complement each other because my thoughts would've led me toward stopping the growth of this project a long time ago.. but I'm happy it's still going!

Defoliation on day 45, smells like tangerines

Day 78. Girls is down. Dry trim chosen as to most smaller plants. Overall I am happy with Urban Legend brand, only Gorilla will be meh.... ;))) Day 88. Girl went to jars, amazing 62 g of her !!! Top quality all the plant through. We are testing it with my friend's wife and it's pure joy, think after cure I'll keep it pure for myself, no share ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Growing this strain was a delight! It was fun and easy and i didnt have any problems throughout the grow. Buds are thick and heavy. Smell is creamy and fruity and i cant wait to taste it. I would recommend this strain to everybody!

I feel like I'm doing something wrong when it comes to the end of flowering. I've seen harvests with nice green leaves but for some reason my leaves are always yellowing and burnt by the last couple of weeks. I usually just chalk this up to harvesting time fade/fall coloring but I wonder if it's something I don't have right in my nutrients. Either way I only have about a week or 2 left of feeding, im going to implement Liquid Koolbloom the last week of feeding. The last 2 weeks of these girls I'll flush with just ph balanced water. Day 60 should be around January 8th which is my expected Harvest date so this will be my "New Year Harvest". Needless to say, I'm super excited! P.S. I added in another layer of netting to help support the really heavy buds forming. They feel super solid and thick as well as extremely sticky

NUGZ!!! They are getting thick y'all. I'm so excited to chop this one

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :) I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;) It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps. That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇

I had soil problems in the beginning. I was using Kellogg patio plus and the kids just didn't like it, to much bark. so on the 8th of Nov.i transplanted them into 3gal pot and sprinkled myco in the hole to try and help with deprived roots. here is a R.I.P video to the fallen soldier! I have the last bag seed in soil right now, as of yesterday. it sprouted fast like 36 hrs. hope that one comes out better than the runt. it was my fault though because I over packed the soil and over watered. live and learn!!
