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.

Mandarin Squeeze is going good. She is finishing up here in about 2 weeks. She smells just like Mandarin oranges. 🤞🏻 the flavor matches. I love me some oranges 🍊 but hell no to trump and the Republicans for a long time to . Their white supremecy anti drug policy's goes strictly against my medical beliefs. I am just waiting on these girls to finish. I will be putting them on water in about a week. Next update is the harvest.

I switched the girls aside. wedding crasher on the right and el patron on the left. The two in front are the autos 😏

Great stuff

10 plants harvested of gushers 32oz total dry

Both plants looking good. The cheese, is really frosting and flowering up, really crazy! shes gonna become a beast and is so early into flower 13-08-2024. both plants been given a 5 ml shot of Calmag. also the cheese got her mid bloom dose of Biopk 16-08-2024. the ladies got some water today, and the Orange Apricot Glue has overtaken the cheese in height, compared to the cheese being the bigger one for most of the “grow”.

14 Days have passed. No problems, the heatwave has stopped so we are back to stable temps. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. 😎

Week 5 begins for LSD and Green Crack! The LSD ladies had the most yellowing over the last week, yet they have the most frost on the buds. The Green Crack ladies had a little bit of yellowing and has bigger buds, but no frost at this time. They all seem very happy in their new 4x8 home. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre. 👽🌳💚

Coming all.

Whitout nutrients Pure nature Only water👽👌✊😆

everything ok nothing special yet it is growing normally added some voodoo juice to stimulate roots 👌 next week next update with better photos

Ho eseguito una leggera defogliazione nella parte bassa attorno al primo e secondo nodo in modo da dare più potenza e priorità alla parte apicale verso la luce, lei è la più alta del box ed è veramente una signora! Grazie a questo super soil di Dogma Organics avrò un risultato estremamente eccezionale! Non vedo l’ora 😜

De planten zijn naar hun nieuwe huis gegaan. Eerste week naar 12/12. De planten kregen wel wat root max schimmels en wat melasse en zeewiervoer -----------------Purple Haze ----------------- Purple Haze Purple Haze ontstond in de jaren zeventig in de Verenigde Staten en is vernoemd naar het bekende nummer van Jimmy Hendrix. Purple Haze was de meest gerookte wiet bij Woodstock en een wereldwijde favoriet onder rokers. Ook in Nederland werd deze cannabissoort steeds populairder. Deze populaire haze soort zie je vaak in Nederlandse coffeeshops. De toppen van de Purple Haze wietplanten zijn compact met prachtige THC kristallen en hebben paarse tinten. Het roken van deze wiet maakt je euforisch, creatief en geeft je een opbeurend gevoel. Het effect is krachtig en merkbaar als een sativa high gevoel.

11/16 Trimmed all plants. Some more than others. Just experimenting. Two are growing fat buds, two are a little behind and one still hasn't even begun flowering. She just keeps getting bushier and spitting out another set of leaves when I think I see pistils. 11/17 Fed and watered. Changed to 12/12 to see if I can trigger the last lady. Gonna give her a couple days. 11/20 Fed and watered and gave them Cal mag. Late bloomer still isn't flowering.

Day 43 The flush started on Day 40, and I’ll likely carry it through until Day 50–52, aligning with the expected harvest window for Kong’s Krush. The 7 Kong’s Krush girls are right on track – trichomes are clouding up nicely, and they’re clearly approaching harvest maturity. On the other hand, my 24K Runtz is still lagging behind. Trichomes show it’s not fully ready yet, but since I need everything to dry together and reset the bloom space, I’ll harvest both strains on the same day. Lesson learned: mixing strains with different flowering timelines in the same run can complicate the schedule. Smells are intense now – the Kong’s Krush carries a sweet banana-cinnamon vibe, while the 24K Runtz is pushing a strong, sharp orange scent. The room is really fragrant these days!
