Hey Guys, so I have ran into some difficulties regarding our power supplier. Due to the current situation we are facing in South Africa the power company "Eskom" does not have ample supply to provide constant electricity to our country anymore. This is very sad. So they implement a system called "loadshedding" where the cut off power supply in certain suburbs at certain times. This has got me in a complete and utter flat spin as I'm not always at home when this happens. The past 2 weeks have been immensely rough as we we're scheduled for outages 3 times a day for 2,5 hour intervals. Between 02:00AM - 06:30 my tent's power went off (depending on scheduled time). This has in fact caused some VPD problems ( I tried getting up every night, but I still have to get enough sleep for work ). As you can imagine, it sucks BIG TIME. I've done my best to keep at par & doctored where I could. *Decreased Light Intensity (600W) *Decreased Wind Velocity on canopy Almost approaching the start of week 3. Feeding schedule from 3 day interval - 2 day interval ( 2L per feed ) Selective defoliation to get light on lower tops. Used some garden wire to support 2 main colas which we're too high. Note: Pest/Mould check done. Foliar sprayed with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) @ coolest part of day - Next day applied high alkalinity ph'd water to kill mildew spores - Fan heater running from 03:30AM - 06:00AM, pulsing/regulating temp at 19-21°C [ until light comes on ] Grow Logging Light Distance From Canopy = 65cm Substrate Temp = 16 C Substrate PH = 6.0 Normal - Moist Level 79cm = Scrog Net Height 95cm = Tree Height PPFD = 20.1 C = Tent 45% RH

This lady has ended up with a very big size, she's such a nice bush full of sweet stinky colas, tje nuggets are very hard and the resin production is top, very terpy, the aroma is starting to become more and more like cherry 🍒 but with some floral notes. Definitely would love to run her again for sure! 🔝 Very stable strain. All of my 5 black cherry punch have the exact same aroma. 💎💯 She's in a super living soil full of beneficial bacteria and 100% organic nutrients. I'm using Silicium flash by biotabs which contains a lot of beneficial fungus and bug shit. And FLO which is the super food full of aminoacids, a lot of diferent strains of endomycorryzhae and mycorrizae. It's like 100% natural steroids for organic plants, the aroma are so pure and clean. GUYS TRY TO ALWAYS GO THE ORGANIC WAY! YOU'LL NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE 💚🤞💎🌱 pd she's algo got kalong powder and seaweed powder by guanokalong.

79 days!!!!! and the harvest is already harvested :) The whole growth until week 6 went very well, then the girl got a little worse, (I think it's my mistake, which I described in previous weeks), but besides all that she managed to ripen perfectly, matured stiff flowers, full of shiny sticky trichomes with a very, very sweet aroma ;) 210 gr of wet buds, I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash :) I can't wait to taste it :) this is my first trip with Sweetseeds Looking at the flowers I understand that I will definitely repeat it :) I will leave more feedback after the smoke review:) good luck to everyone.

​🌿 Journal de Culture : Mac 1 – "Spirit" (Plante #2) – Floraison Initiale ​Date du jour : 20/05/2026 Âge de la plante : J+46 (Semaine 7) Taille actuelle : 94 cm (avec LST + SCROG) Évolution : +32 cm depuis la dernière mesure (Malgré le tricotage sous le filet !) ​Grand déménagement réussi ! La Permanent White Marker ayant libéré l'espace, j'ai enfin pu installer Spirit et sa sœur dans leur nouvelle tente. Et le moins que l'on puisse dire, c'est qu'elle a explosé. ​📊 État de Santé & Évolution de la Structure ​Un monstre de vigueur : Spirit affiche une structure tout simplement monstrueuse. Même si sa sœur prend énormément de place en largeur dans la tente, Spirit a décidé de s'exprimer en hauteur. Malgré le LST intensif et l'installation du filet de SCROG pour essayer de la contenir, elle dépasse largement sa sœur jumelle. ​Stade de Floraison : La transition est bien confirmée, nous sommes en plein début de floraison. Les premiers pompons se forment et sont recouverts de magnifiques pistils bien blancs et vigoureux. ​Le défi de la hauteur : C’est la grosse bataille du moment ! Avec le pot surélevé, le haut de la plante culmine désormais à 1m35 du sol. Mon plafond étant bas, la marge de manœuvre devient critique : il ne me reste plus que 20 cm de battement maximum avant de toucher le haut de la tente. ​⚙️ Paramètres Environnementaux & Culture ​Lumière : Toujours à 75% d'intensité. En raison de sa poussée verticale incontrôlable, la canopée ne se trouve plus qu'à 37 cm de la lampe. Je surveille de très près pour éviter tout stress lumineux ou thermique. ​Climat : Températures maintenues à 24°C le jour et 21°C la nuit. ​Humidité en hausse : L'hygrométrie est montée à 60%, ce qui est un peu haut pour ce stade. C'est sûrement lié à la présence des Autopots et du réservoir principal dans la même pièce. Pour redresser la barre et sécuriser la floraison, j'ai mis en route le déshumidificateur. ​Arrosage & Nutrition : J'ai coupé l'arrivée d'eau du système Autopot hier. L'objectif est de laisser le substrat s'assécher légèrement afin de pouvoir lui administrer manuellement son premier boost de floraison : le Bio PK 5-8 de Biotabs. le 21/05 Apport de 0,75 cl d'eau avec 4 ml de PK 5-8 biotabs PH 6,3 ​📝 Résumé de la situation ​Le phénotype de Spirit est impressionnant de puissance, mais il va falloir continuer à tricoter fermement les branches les plus hautes sous le filet de SCROG si le stretch ne s'arrête pas rapidement. Les signaux sont au vert : les pistils sortent massivement et la plante déborde d'énergie. Le passage au PK 5-8 va venir nourrir cette structure massive pour maximiser la formation des têtes. ​Pour éviter toute confusion dans mes prochains suivis, sa figurine fétiche veillera sur le pot jusqu'au cut ! 🙏 Remerciements ​Un immense merci à @mia_biotabs et à Mrs_Larimar pour votre accompagnement et vos précieux conseils qui me permettent de dompter ce monstre vert, ainsi qu'à tous les passionnés qui partagent cette aventure avec moi depuis le premier jour. ​Suivez l'évolution de Spirit, la suite s'annonce chargée en résine ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

"Hi, I received my pH meter this week, so from week 6 onwards, I'm aiming for a pH value of 6.0 - 6.5. This week, I noticed that the plant in the small pot received too much fertilizer. The other two 7.5-liter fabric pots also received double the recommended amount according to the feeding schedule, but they don't show any signs of over-fertilization."

Background Fingers crossed that these Spicy Bitch regs provide at least one male so that we can back build some stock of it. In the event that does take place we’ve got a single clone of each strain from the previous pollen chuck to sit in the tent with them so they can make babies for the next few months. The whole point of the last year was to start making some foundational genetics for a third generational cross we could call our own. If you’ve been following along than you’ll know that it’s been anything but easy. Our previous pollen picks didn’t pan out at all so we’re back to the drawing board with a new option from ExoticSeeds. This’ll be a 10 plant run with 5 regs and 6 strains for pollination including the strain itself. We’re running in a 2x4 MarsHydro grow tent all powered by a Mars Sp6500. That’s a little more than 600w packed into half the recommended footprint😳. Why? you ask - because we like our buds big and overcompensatory😂. Really, I’m just of the mind that we can pack more light into this space than recommended and get much better results. The math doesn’t lie. At least not as long as I wasn’t high when using the calculator again….. Many thanks to @MarsHydroLED for the opportunity to test run the equipment👊. In addition, we’ve also moved to a new nutrient system - Druid Nutrients out of the Netherlands. They don’t really have a presence on GD yet but you’ll be hearing about them very soon I’m sure. The beauty of this system is that it’s literally a 1 (one) component system for the entirety of the plants grow cycle. It really has changed the game in terms of ease of feeding and maintenance. It’s also very versatile and seems to provide everything needed across multiple different strains in the same ratios. Keep your eyes peeled for these folks. Pretty much a guarantee that they absolutely blow up once more people know about them👍👌😎. Strain Background Spicy Bitch: predominantly sativa, heavy yielder with a daytime kinda trip profile. It’s a cross of Queen Mother and a Pre-2000 AK47. We’ll pull what pollen we can and hope to have a female run out a larger supply of seed for the future. Many thanks to @Exoticseeds for the chance to give these beans a go👍👊. Pollination Strains: Holy Surfer S1 - this is one of the focal points for this cycle. A fellow growmie was kind enough to ship over some S1 genetics I took an interest in. The only ask back was that if I did cross it to send a few his way for testing👍. Shoutout and cheers to @blendmedmedman. Hoping to have something back to ya in short order. For full details on this alluring hybrid option check my buddies link at seedfinder - https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Holy_Surfer/Smiling_Tiger/ Northern Lights - this came from a particularly interesting batch of seeds that have shown a very dependable variegation trait. It’s a compact and squat plant requiring very little maintenance. Typical for the strain really. It’s been chosen as an option to potentially mellow out the high , shorten the stature of the resulting hybrid and inject it with some of that mellow indica effect. Boogie Nights - total shot in the dark. Still haven’t even tried the strain myself yet but it was available at the right time and interesting enough to make a salad with. Big thanks to AMS who’ve been nothing short of an excellent seedbank to collaborate with. Expect similar growth characteristics to that of the Northern Lights. Better resilience however. Blueberry - this particular clone is from extremely strong stock. Spliff seeds broke the mold with this strain. She’s lower maintenance than the NL, more resilient than anything else we’ve got on the menu and the terp. Profile on this girl is out of this world. If we can bring any of these qualities to the cross, then it could be magic👌. White Widow - garrghh, I just can’t get away from this particular plant. Again, still haven’t even tested the buds yet and all I can say is that the growth characteristics are extremely vigorous and desirable. This plant is one of 3 unicorns that I have yet to tame due to a combo of extremely bad luck and circumstance. All told, it’s still the same story: a VERY experimental breeding project designed to shotgun a broad swath of genetics against a reliable and dependable Breeder who’s put out proven fire 🔥🤟😎👍.

Starting to ramp down the feed now. Girls still seem to be ticking along nicely and just continuing to monitor daily. Water has stayed more stable (pH Wise) with less of the PK Warrior so believe the pH drops was probably root acidification from Potassium Excess. Staying Stable enough around 5.8-6.2 with basic, usual intervention. Will be keeping it around this for the week and then onto the Dragon Force Next week and the 10K finisher bulb for the last 2 week!

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Week 12 for Lemon OG by SSSC I know she started off terribly but i think she maybe making a come back maybe?? Got her canopy as flat as i could she's looking good. 😎 She's got a lot of catching up to compared to her sisters but she might be wroth keeping in the garden anyway. She's been getting sprayed down with water every evening and she's got no pest issues.

Things are going really well for this lady. She has continued to produce copious amounts of tricombes and the smell is just unbelievable. I've had to source some air fresheners to hang around the garden to try and mask it. I've removed a few of the new growth at the bottom of the main stem a some they are only going to suck energy that can be better used.

Rainy week, no need to fertilize or to water the plants. The are growing fast and very tall, despite it should be small one, the tallest ones are from seeds I found in my Baby Boom last year that could be a good explanation. I give a bit more of fertilizer and I started with the Boost + for the flowers.

She’s looking good, still growing her buds more frosty and dense. She smells citrusy and piney so far. She’s continuing to fatten and frost.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , the zkittlez did stay alot shorter and compact compared too the rest , but she has had the shame conditions than the rest , so she much just be a shorter pheno type i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady stayed very short and compact and didn't really stretch much at all and it by far the smallest plant of the bunch ,

The smell is in full force dank skunky orange When I rub a bud you can really smell the sweet orange The crystals are just insane . The buds are gaining weight now still have 3 or so weeks so I’m not too worried All in all a good week Cheers friends.
