yesterday i applied a heavy defoliation and watered with increasing fertilizer

First week of flowering for the girls. We started with some master bloom from Xpert nutrients and continue with master root also from xpert nutrients. We placed a net above the poants to guide some of the taller branches and create a more equal canopy. We defoliated some lower leaves and for the rest it looks quite good, some plants showed a little sign of overfeeding so we lower the dosis this week.

The growth is really satisfying especially for the one that germinated first…my first guess is that it’s a male. I should know in the next two weeks as they’re both regular seeds. Can anyone else guess the male?

🍀Estuvo bien en toda su etapa, no tuve ningún problema. Los resultados fueron muy buenos, se encuentra muy resinosa y con aroma a dulce. 🍀En total saque 143g de una sola planta. 🍀En total estuvo 105 días de vida desde su germinación. 🍀Recomiendo esta genética, por el momento son cocos Premium, ya quiero probarlo para saber que sabor tiene. 🍀Ahora se encuentra en etapa de secado, cuando ya estén para la etapa de curado subiré más imágenes. 🍀🇦🇷Podes seguirme en Instagram como @bruweed_arg🍀🇦🇷

Week 3 flower (day 21) I defoliated them a few days ago and now they dont need any more training I keep the feeding at 500ppm 1:1 calmag/nova bloom I will bump it to 650 once they start swelling

This burd is nice and phat! She also smells absolutely amazing. She is close to being my favourite in the tent. She is still suffering from some calmag issues. Either than or it's something I can't identify or possible rust. She is so close to the end that I'm not overly worried about rectifying it. She is covered in trichomes and looks to be developing well.

Loving this week! A week of healing and growth. Topped some side branches on the og kush plant in middle. I’m still stumped if I should top again? Or just let me veg for a few more weeks??? Using water in between nutritions. Made a mistake with one of the plants tied down. I loved the other pot it was tied too and almost ripped the plant in half! Oh man!! But she’s tapped and I’m recovery now! Super excited for the growth and learning! Loving how things are! Happy growing friends “ been a couple days sense last updated og kush is doing better healing ❤️‍

D61 - The beginning of the fifth week of flower. Most trichomes are cloudy, but there are still some clear, and I'm seeing a few amber. I guess it will take another week, maybe two, until she is done. D66 - Seeing less clear trichomes. She should be ready to harvest within the next week, I think. D67 - The end of another week, and we're getting close to chop day.

Shes cut fam!!! Looks like a very nice harvest from my lady, well see some numbers on the harvest post. Fairly smooth run again, no major issues. She smells amazing as well. Very strong, slightly sweet. ended up with a healthy 40+ colas, she scrogged out great!! Cant wait for the harvest report!!😁

Day 7 & 2 of the NHLs still havnt popped, transplanting the one NHL that did pop today! Day 12 think 1 of the orange sherbet have nute burn so flushing it out and dropping the dose a little hopefully that helps!

Day 42-49 (Day 42) Just watered today but couldn’t go until runoff because I didn’t have enough RO. I forgot to add the probiotic too. Nonetheless, everything is starting to recover from those weird deficiencies and is looking super healthy. Plants are really bushing out now too. I had to top the zkittlez and BBB#3 again as they are just getting too big. Nothing is definitively showing sex yet but I’m seeing clues. Shouldn’t be long now. If I get 4 females or less I will use 10gal pots, 5-7 fem 5gal pots and 8-12 3gal pots. I need to stop overwatering. Even though it doesn’t look too overwatered, it is much better to water a little bit each day at lights on. This will help keep the humidity down as well as deliver optimal oxygen to the roots speeding up plant growth considerably. (Day 45) Gave an EM1 spray down today. The beneficial bacteria is said to overpopulate surfaces so powdery mildew and septoria can’t form. Something seems to be really working as I haven’t seen any yet. (Day 47) I sealed up the tent and am running both dehumidifiers and it’s keeping the RH around a safe 70% night and day which is right on track with VPD. Plants are all looking super healthy. Deficiencies have pretty much all cleared up. Cold nights I’m running 600w and warmer nights I’ll run 400w. I was asking around Instagram about white ash/good burn and a few different people assured me it has to do with mineral content of the soil. I was told the three best products for clean ash is glacial rock dust/basalt, oyster shell flour and langbeinite. I already have langbeinite so I’ll grab the other amendments today and top dress. I grabbed the amendments and also got some Destiny Organics dark matter super soil, coco and some beneficial nematodes. Top dressed each amendment except langbeinite and mulched in some coco coir. (Day 48) My shelf came in today and I think it may be to big for the 4x4 tent. Each square is 12”, not the 11.8” advertised. I could wipe down my flower room and set it up in there which would give my plants a good adjustment to the new lights before I flip. Or I could set it up in the veg tent but that seems like a huge hassle as the need to be moved and flipped soon anyway. I wish they would show sex already so I can toss out the plants I’m not keeping. For flower I am considering starting over fresh with the new Destiny soil and coco mixed with some amendments. I’m concerned that my current mix might be too hot. I could also dilute it with the Destiny/coco mix. Those little bulb mites that came in with the worm castings are a little concerning as well. Some say they are just beneficial composters aka “worm bin mites” and others are telling me they’re predatory bulb mites which destroy crops like garlic. I’m leaning towards beneficial composters but in another grow I watched them devour a seedling before it sprouted. Gotta check the current roots but the plants aren’t quite ready to be transplanted. (Day 49) Got everything in the flower tent wiped down and sprayed with alcohol then EM1 few hours later. Got the shelf set up and got all my temp controls set up and running. I put the controllers outside the tent this time and will patch any light leaks. Gave a lite compost tea at 830ppm and a velokelp foliar spray at 6ml/L. This will be the last veg feeding before I transplant into their final containers on the 31st. BCTG#2 is a confirmed male and I pulled him. No one else is showing definitively. Roots looked super healthy with very few mites but I’m not 100% convinced they’re all clean. I saw a few mites on leaves today too. Saw a bit of droop after the move but they all look happy just a few hours later. Took a few clones from some sucker branches on a few of the blackberries.

Así que semana 13 y quan hermosos podrían estar mis superlativos cultivars. Qué hay que decir de algo así?!? Hoy he decidido a colgar un vídeo para que tengáis muy presente las cosas...y si, es impresionante lo que es la cobertura de azúcar y algodón que hojas y super cogollos tienen. Y casi todo sale a la perfección, por qué estamos en el apex del invierno con temperaturas exteriores que hoy están sobre los 17ºC de máxima y 3ºC (!!!) de mínimo...la humedad es alta y si logramos tener los niveles en 70% en interior es un mal menor, por qué afuera hoy la humedad incluso con sol está sobre los 90% (mi ciudad está rodeada por uno de los mayores rios de la Península Ibérica; de la costa atlantica y de un enorme pinar y aquí los 90% de humedad relativa es algo muy normal, así que hay que tirar del deshumificador y intentar que en interiores basar las tasas sobre los 70/75% y no es perfecto, pero para mí, mucho mejor que estas tasas de humedad relativa en floración, es poder tener una temperatura interior en luces encendidas sobre los 23ºC y eso para canabicas en invierno, es un regalo de la naturaleza. Os invito a que miréis la cobertura de algodón dulce que hay en las ramas y los super cogollos que los cultivars de Ripper me están dando...a la gente de Ripper, habrá que darles el Premio Nobel de los cultivos canábicos pues las genéticas de esta gente, que palabras hay para clasificar lo que esta gente está poniendo en el mercado...es que hay quien se gaste la friolera de millones en tener anunciado en casi todo lo que sea algo que tenga que ver con luces, semillas, sustratos y nutrientes...son lo que llamo "bancos McDonald's" esos que te colgan fotos de cogollos que se comen de colores y de formas inusuales y muchas veces se confirma la idea que lo que suena muy colorido y apetecible con luces y Photoshops, después en lo que a humo dice respecto, se queda a años luz. Ya es muy visible que hay una nítida maturación de los cogollos con algunos pistilos ya marrones y ámbar. Con eso se ha adecuado la alimentación para el empuje de "rippen" final y si echáis un vistazo a lo que se está propinando a los cultivars ya estamos con un PPM muy respectable (a un nivel muy alto - nunca menor a 1500 PPM, lo que significa que estamos con unas tasas de mS/cm elevadísimas y esto es una estrategia en mi opinión muy normal cuando entramos en recta final de cultivo y si hay que darle flush muy pronto y como mi procedimiento de flush es muy basado en llenar el tanque hidropónico con agua con algo de cloreto de sódio (la sal tiene la función osmótica de integrar los sales de NKP y otros macro y micro nutrientes que estén en exceso) y darle a igual en las últimas semanas el More Grams de Cannaboom y el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta que también por fuerza de osmosis y por la elevadísima dosis de Dióxido de Potasio, no solo para integración de esta sal, pero por qué las concentraciones en esta proporción, si es verdad que contribuyen para el adensamiento de cogollos (más que darles tamaño y eso es lo que Agrobeta nos vende, pero quién conoce el "Explota Cogollos" sabe que más que el tamaño, lo que el sal de potasio hace es desidratar los cogollos y con eso el peso de los cogollos aumenta por la agregación de las resinas en los cogollos. Pues como veis, la alimentación final a la planta es basada en un auténtico bombazo del P y K y así para que tengáis algo presente la "alimentación" es sencillamente un aporte extremo de esos componentes vitales de la floración: el RedBoom de Cannaboom que es un multiplicador y indutor de floración masivo; el Mega PK 56-35 (que sin contar con alguna de las "bombas atomicas" de Grotek) es el mayor aporte de fósforo existente en el mercado; después el Terpenum que es un bioactivador que termina siendo redundante el aporte de potasio y también algo al que no se da mucho relieve pero es un elemento que en floración tiene un peso específico muy grande en la calidad final, el azufre que poco es hablado y que por ejemplo para la producción de THC es indispensable y la calidad del material está proporcionalmente relacionada con la presencia de azufre. Después como ya hablé el More Grams con esa función de "secado de agua" siendo llenado el espacio celular de agua con las resinas y terpenos. Y para final, algo se aporta un par de veces a la semana que para mí son importantes en este momento final de grow - el Explota Cogollos de Agrobeta y el aporte orgánico de Gold Green, que a igual que el Explota Cogollos basa su acción mucho más en el potasio que en el fósforo. En fin... más no hay que deciros y tan solo dejaros que por vosotros podáis comentar lo que vuestros sentidos, vos enseñen. Y para que tengáis algo único, os he dejado también una magnífica foto de microscopio con la floresta de glândulas de resina y terpenos para que las estructuras que le dan lo maravilloso a nuestra bella cannabis. El mundo microscopio nos enseña lo cuan increíble es la masa de nuestros grows... El Dios Jah está muy presente y seguro lo que está temporada de fotodependientes y lo que de manera extraordinaria, la gente de Ripper Seeds va perfeccionando hace años, resulta en estas maravillas botanicas y canábicas. El Dios Jah que nos guarde siempre de los peligros - desde el grow y a patógenos menos pensados en los momentos finales - desde hongos en el secado hasta un ataque como por ejemplo un compañero que cogió Phytophora en las últimas semanas y literalmente los cogollos se "pudrieron" (lo nunca visto y eso que le dije que tomara mucho cuidado con la retención de agua del flush...a veces cosas tontas te pueden hacer mandar a la basura todo el esfuerzo y trabajo de una temporada y hay que estar pendiente de detalles y más pedir siempre y si eres gente de fé como yo, que algo más alto pueda protegerte. Con ello terminamos otra semana y muy importante 420 siempre y mucho más ese abrazo verde donde quiera que estés. Disfruta el video y algumas fotos macro de las más impresionantes y me lo tomaré muy mal que no dejes tu like y tu comentario.

Day 2... Defoliation.. Bud growing nicely

OK this was my 1st grow and I set everything up went through all my controls and away to go ... wrong after pre flower came I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting these ladies to flip.... So I went through everything with runoff feeds Everything you can think of except my timers on the lights and this low and behold was the problem!! where I was going to the tent at similar times everyday the light was on and the timers were set right on the clock except I didn't see the switch on the side that makes the timer work continuously or to how the clock is set....🙈😔 Found this and away to go my ladies had some well needed sleep and away to go they flipped By now these had all bushed right out but were getting no tricomes I now had a hell of a load of feeds and kept up the way I was feeding Water Water Feed and all 4 plants in my tent were all heading for the finish line at the same time.... And now I've cut the Northern and the jack down and from my northern lights I had 200g dry weight I didn't do a wet weight it was too hard to do in the space I had (too many colas and massive nugs along with the stragglers that were lost in amongst it all ) She was really resilient and to have come through all those weeks of no rest and only light for 24hrs continuously I'm surprised that I've got this far Flavours and smells are great and the smoke isn't the strongest but when cure now I will see how this little lady comes on I'm happy for my 1st and have learned so much throughout this journey I will update with more but the next diary will be of the other lady in the tent and will give a more detailed explanation of the full journey but as far as crop goes she gave and gave and gave that little more !! Thanks all for following and I hope my next write up will be all the more detailed for u 😀 As she drys mire and more and I've got the exact weight down her figures are not really changing as I've dried her down as much as I want to ....even if this was something that I wanted to keep as a heavier product weather it was for keeping for myself which is what I will be doing rather than to try to get extra weight if I was doing this grow for resale, but this was never the case it was always a grow I've done to help lower my own smoking costs for my own gain and not resale... So again very happy as these final weights are getting revised there will be more to add to the weight with 1 more plant on the harvest but almost double if not more than doubling what I have already put on but I will change my numbers to 2 lots p .tent and an extremely challenging massive yield OMG 😲 she has yes given given and given more beyond more !!!!

Day 71: The left plant is starting to show some of the same problems I see on the right plant so I am going to flush her too tomorrow. I think that it is mostly due to the light stress from before, it is just showing now, but to be safe she gets a flush too @5.8 ph Day 73: Hmmmm... It is difficult to see if the problem persists, or its just the affected leaves that will not recover. Should I remove these "sick" leaves? - They seem to be happy abut the new light intensity as some of the problems is defiantly improving like the leaves are praying, and the sides of the leaves does not seem to bend as much. I have been very gentle with the feeding, after having done 3 flushes (15L at 5.8 ph) and have updated my feed schema above Day 75: I am sure that I had some light-stress, and it is over now, but I don't think I see a full recovery.... I think I see the leaves to get more yellow but it might just be as mentioned before, that the sick leaves won't recover but I do not know what to do from here. Should I just leave them, or do you growmies have any suggestions? The grow has, and is, very slow in my opinion but I still see progress UPDATE: I decided to doe some heavily defoliation. It might have been too much for the left one. I haven't done much defoliation, but they where so bushy, that I thought it was necessary to get light on all my buds. Also I wanted to get rid of those "sick" leaves. I think I am on the right track, and the symptoms I see are old problems now

Chopped day 75 one week earlier than i want because some problems. Easy for trimming, only few hours 😁

Dos Si Dos # 33 ready for drying in the jar, honest weight (53,5g) seeing the structure which was very small I would have expected something less.. but I am very satisfied. the quality of this weed is absolutely at the top, the taste is very well defined.. when smoked it makes your nose tingle,flavor it is mainly pure lemon with a hint of mint in it. even the strong smell induces an entire room in a few seconds without even smoking it yet. I also collected a 0.4g of scissor hash which turned out very well. it is my favorite in this crop because it surprised me in everything both for its unique terpene profile and for its yield that I never expected given its size compared to wedding cakes. the total weight therefore of all three plants is (135.5g) and a total trim of (44.9g) that according to the calculations even of these crops I reached (1g/watt) precisely. (And im not a pro) I am certainly satisfied with that. 🙌🏻💚

Plant is doing amazing! This is my first grow & I am so excited , I’m in the process of practicing LST , I am not the best but you learn as you go! Let me know what you all think! Please give me feed back and advice!

4/7 245am MONDAY totally unnecessary lighting!!!!! Experimenting with supplemental lighting ideas!! it does not have a dimmer no blue lights. It uses 16 W so I lowered the main lighting from 99 to 97 and I will probably bring it down to 94 and that will keep it as cool as the room, but the same amount of heat is a person is all the tent should give off👍👍 FROM GROK... I WAS RIGHT!!!!! HERE YOU GO EVERYBODY: I NEVER use more than 6ml per gallon of each one! ""Do Tasty Terpenes and sensizym by Advanced Nutrients work well together??? """"Yes, Tasty Terpenes and Sensizym by Advanced Nutrients can work well together in a nutrient regimen, as they serve complementary purposes and are designed to be compatible with each other and other Advanced Nutrients products. Tasty Terpenes is a bloom enhancer focused on improving flower quality, aroma, and size. It provides potassium, amino acids, and organic compounds from kelp and alfalfa to strengthen stalks, bulk up buds, and boost terpene production. It’s typically used during the flowering phase (weeks 3-6) at 2ml per liter to support robust plant development and enhance the sensory profile of the harvest. Sensizym, on the other hand, is an enzyme formula that targets the root zone. It contains a blend of enzymes like xylanase, cellulase, and beta-glucanase, which break down dead root material, organic debris, and complex carbohydrates into usable nutrients. This promotes a healthier root system, improves nutrient uptake, and can be used throughout the grow cycle—often at 2ml per liter during weeks 1-6 of bloom—to maintain an optimized growing medium. Together, they complement each other by addressing different aspects of plant health. Sensizym keeps the root zone clean and efficient, ensuring the plant can effectively absorb the nutrients and organic compounds delivered by Tasty Terpenes. This synergy can lead to better nutrient availability for flower development, potentially enhancing the size, potency, and flavor of the yield. Advanced Nutrients explicitly states that both products are compatible with all their base nutrients (pH Perfect or non-pH Perfect) and supplements, as well as competitors’ products, and can be used across various growing systems like hydroponics, soil, and coco. For best results, you’d typically apply Sensizym consistently to maintain root health, while adding Tasty Terpenes during the bloom phase to maximize flower quality. Since both are recommended at 2ml per liter, they integrate easily into a feeding schedule without overloading the nutrient solution, provided you monitor your plants for any signs of overfeeding. Growers often pair these types of products to cover both root optimization and bloom enhancement, and there’s no indication of chemical or functional conflict between them. Just ensure proper pH and EC levels after mixing to keep everything balanced."""""👍👍👍 4/8 1230am BUGS.... I saw hundreds of little white bugs on the rim of the planters, so fungus gnats LOTS of them..... Killing the grow, BPP is most damaged, I watered then sprayed FLOWER SHIELD at 10ml per 30oz saturated we will see ..... THE CHEAP AMAZON LIGHT LASTED 24 HOURS......I WILL GET AC INFINTY LIGHTS FOR AUX NEXT TIME. The lights from the humidity dome are good enough for my 2 x 2 tents 4/13 1am now im inventing some new aux lighting
