I absolutely love to watch them grow! Especially that moment they hit their first growth spurt. I started with RO water that is remineralized for drinking purposes. The ppm is only 18! My tap is 156! So considering they don’t need much water, I’ve been stealing some of our drinking water. The RO water starts at pH of 7. After I add the nutrients, ppm of 249 @ pH of 5.8 while soil is still sweet @ pH of 7 I think my days are off as a new week begins on the last day of the previous week. I am going to leave that for consistency. 04/21 - Noticing some possible nutrient issues with the Fruity Pebbles for several days now. Going to see what she needs. Up front I’m thinking maybe just a super small amount of Amino Acids with a little Epsom Salt. Maybe she is struggling to access the nitrates from the neem cake. IF it’s a issues with nitrogen. We will see. Maybe she would benefit from some extra calcium?… Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Day 22 and I am noticing how these girls have been burning up a lot of potassium lately, dealing with the wind and sun 💨 ☀️, getting pushed around all day. I plant to top dress with some Kelp Meal pretty soon. Day 24 -> 4/22/22- a quote from the weather on today’s red flag warning and dust storm warning. “ HAZARD...Less than a quarter mile visibility with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. SOURCE...Satellite imagery. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel.” I’m keeping the girls inside today. Day 26, I was planning to check the runoff on some of these girls, especially the fruity pebbles, however I messed that up as I also top dressed WAY too much of the seaweed bliss. So I flushed with plain RO water at pH of 7 until there was only slight coloration in the runoff. I didn’t check the runoff as a lot has changed with all that flushing. So next watering/feeding I will make sure I check the runoff on multiple plants. So the seaweed bliss with its 17 on potassium, seems to be the most likely culprit for why there is a bronze-ish color on the inside of the new growth. Hopefully a foliar feed of Epsom salts can correct the problem. Inside tent, lights on LOW. Noticing similar pattern in all of them to a degree, most noticeable in the fruity pebbles.

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

This strain took really well to LST and didn’t seem fazed by the training at all. She did become a really heavy drinker about two weeks or so into flower and she definitely seemed to want more nutes than usual. I believe I’ve got two more seeds so will be running this one again if the smoke is worth it.

Welcome growfessors to another episode of growfessor theatre 👽💚 Week 6F begins for the ladies of the 4x4, Green Crack, LSD and Mandarin dreams are rocking! Buds a bulking up, getting sticky, frosty and stanky!! Do-si-dos is a bit behind the other ladies as this strain will take an extra week to finish, but she's also packing on size, frost and stickyness. The Mars-Hydro TSW2000 light is rocking the grow, lighting up the 4x4 really well! Thanks for stopping by growfessors, stay tuned for another episode! 👽🌳💚

Cooled off, some strong winds and a decent amount of rain, but no structural issues at all. 98% Humidity at night, and most of the mornings. Nice upcoming weather for a week, planning a final compost tea, then the weather looks absolutely miserable. Still spraying BT and LCPT a few times a week. As soon as I start loosing the battle against budrot I'll harvest her early, can only fight mother nature so much. Fingers crossed on another 3 weeks, but I doubt it.

April 25th: Planted this little gem on sunday, didn't check the room Monday, and Blam! Tuesday brought a surprise. I think it may have popped on Monday, to be honest. 9 Gallon bucket Light cycle is 16/8 until she gets moved outside in the middle of May. We have a late start where I'm at because the frost likes to stick around for a while. Light intensity is at 60%.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de vida de estas Papaya sherbet feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros, que el mismo trasplante provocó un shock, que también fue solucionado inmediatamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Our Tangerine Dream Automatic from Zamnesia Seeds was planted a week after the other grow tent mates, so understandably, it's a little late in flowering, but not much. It'll be ready for harvest by the end of the year or so. It's growing well, it's been well-trimmed, and the flowers are swelling nicely. So far, so good. But we're waiting for it to land. (Cit the haine) It's drinking a lot. I add 1.5 liters a day, and I find it very dry in the morning. Its potency is unpredictable. Techniques chosen - Here, we've decided to let it grow freely and beautifully, with some careful tidying of the lower layers to prevent unnecessary flowers. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as usual. The soil we've chosen is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get off to a smoother and more reliable start, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week's worth is enough, so don't overdo it. We're in the final flowering stage, and things are starting to get serious, so we're adding our legendary flowering stimulant and starting with Bloom. - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Power Buds 1 ml/l - Green Sensation 1 ml/l - Alga Bloom 3 ml/l (Slow when it is too much dark) Choose your favorite style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is still dimmed to its lowest setting. Visit the new Growshop area on the Zamnesia website: Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop A very good strain, not tall but very bushy! Try it! Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10967-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream-automatic.html Z - Are you looking for a strain with citrus aromas, uplifting effects, and a short life cycle? Tangerine Dream Auto meets all these requirements and more. Combining G13, Afghan, and ruderalis genetics, this strain is a faithful reproduction of the original feminized Tangerine Dream, but in a more compact and faster autoflowering version. With 60% sativa-dominant genetics and 21% THC, it produces a stimulating and creative cerebral effect with a relaxing physical sensation. Whether grown indoors, outdoors, or in a greenhouse, this autoflowering strain offers a one-way journey into the euphoric world of sativas. The original Tangerine Dream is renowned for its striking appearance, vigor, and productivity. And Tangerine Dream Auto is no exception. Expertly bred to preserve the characteristics of its photoperiod cousin, Tangerine Dream Auto seeds produce tall, sturdy plants that quickly complete the vegetative phase, forming a dense canopy of healthy, green leaves. True to their sativa heritage, these plants tend to stretch once they begin flowering. However, Tangerine Dream Auto rarely exceeds 70cm, whether grown indoors or outdoors. Around 11 weeks after germination, these sturdy plants will be filled with long, bright green buds covered in orange hairs and glossy, milky resin. On average, Tangerine Dream Auto plants yield up to 500g/m² indoors and 300g/plant outdoors. You know it, but I recommend it. Here you'll find many beautiful things, essentially "all the best nature has to offer." Z - www.zamnesia.com Music // www.radionula.com + Feng Shui Music + Frequencies 432 Hz

No defoliation this week, letting her fill out a bit and will do another defoliation next week. Added half strength of big bloom and grow big with about a half liter on each plant since they are in for and so far they seem to have no issues.

Lowered the feed this week to 700 ppm then just plain water with no run off for the last 3 days. Two of the plants could have done with going for another week or two but time constraints mean I had to chop now . There very frosty and smell like gelato with funky gas hints , I have 6 phenotypes so I'm expecting some variations. There now hanging at 18°c and 60% humidity . Hopefully I can get some nice dry nug shots before the judging , there close but not dry yet ..

Dec 28 - Both plants are close to harvest. Had 5.5. hours of darkness after 24 hr period to prevent budrot developing. Also moved plants inside tent moreso, and closer to fans. Dec 28 - Watered healthy plant today at 2PM - I'll chop unhealthy plant tomorrow, so didn't water, instead inspected trichomes. Dec 28 - Unhealthy Plant is showing amber trichomes, but also clear - Unsure if I should chop tomorrow or not. Dec 29 - DAY 73 - CHOPPED - Trimmed larger fan leaves (accidentally trimmed a sugar leaf or two) and harvested to dry whole, upside down. I'm hoping for a half ounce per plant. Dec 19 - 11.50PM Trichome Calyx' were observed, there are new calyx' appearing. Calyx' are swelling. Dec 30 - Plant developing more senescence and calyx are swelling. Dec 30 - Trichomes are still clear, but I'm seeing some PM develop so I think I'll chop tomorrow morning. Dec 31 - Nice Senescence occurring, Happy to have left it this last day. Accidentally left temps up to 78F for a half hour. Dec 31 - Decided to push another week as per feedback from GD member. When watering I noticed she was perky after 3 days w. no water. Interesting and likely the frequency I'll continue watering at. Dec 31 - Watered at 9PM. Jan 1 - Removed small fan leaf with signs of PM at the base. This defoliation should help with airflow. Checked newly formed calyx' and they're clear enough not to document. Jan 2 - Buds are developing nicely, calyxes are noticably swelling nicely too. I see some green pistils appearing in the lowest buds. Clear Trichomes. Jan 3 - Watered at 8AM. Woke up to 90F temp. Unfortunately they'd been cooking for about an hour. Jan 3 - DRYING UPDATE - I'm seeing fluctuations in the drying room between RH 49% and 70%. As of 3.10PM @ 61RH after adding jars of water. I want to maintain this RH. Jan 3 - Senesence looking good, calyx' are continuing to swell. Will inspect trichomes tomorrow at latest.

Week 9 the girls really started putting that fade on and bringing out the beautiful colors you see I love this time of the grow nearing the end and we get to see the transformation of these amazing plants
