Week 2 for the solo Afghani went smooth. Looked a little slow to develop her first proper set of leaves, but the root development should help speed up her progression. Still feeding off the slow release 444 and is now regularly drinking about 2oz of water every other day. I also spritz the bottom of the outer cup to keep moisture levels high for stretching roots. She's about 36" from the light. Hoping to get a little stretch to make training easier. Added a couple new pics to get the week caught up. Stay tuned, week 3 starts training.

🌿 Growth & Development This week, the plants showed steady growth, with strong lateral branching and healthy leaf development. The canopy is filling out well, and I’m keeping an eye on structure to ensure even light distribution. 💧 Feeding & Nutrients The three nutrient lines (BioBizz, Green House Feeding, and Advanced Nutrients) are showing some early differences in growth rate and leaf color. BioBizz (BB#1): A bit more compact, deep green leaves, good root structure. Advanced Nutrients (AN#3 & AN#4): Faster stretch, slightly lighter green, but vigorous growth. 🌞 Environment & Conditions Temperature: Holding steady at 24-26°C during the day, 20°C at night. Humidity: Around 55-60%, keeping VPD in check. Lights: Running at 75% power, maintaining a 35 cm distance from the canopy. 🌱 Training & Maintenance Defoliation: Minor leaf tucking, removing a few lower fan leaves to improve airflow. LST (Low-Stress Training): Slight bending to encourage an even canopy. Watering Schedule: Every 2-3 days, depending on pot dryness. 🔍 Observations & Adjustments No major issues, no pests or deficiencies spotted. Advanced Nutrients plants are drinking slightly more, adjusting watering amounts. Next week, I might increase nutrient strength slightly for more growth. Excited to see how the nutrient differences develop in the next phase! Let’s keep it growing! 🚀🌱

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta de floración de estas Pink Sunset feminizadas de silentseeds. Vamos al lío ,se trasplantaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.0 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/20 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de floración puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 80% de potencia. De momento van creciendo a buen ritmo y tienen un buen color. La flor está engordando y gobiwndo formarse, también empieza a producir tricomas. Agradecer Agrobeta por el envío de un kit para la temporada, son unos jefes. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Still shooting up... lots of stretch but she’s slowing down. Hoping she really stops soon. She’s already past the light and I had to angle my lights sideways to keep her under the lights. No burn noticeable which is interesting to me since seedlings tends to burn under this light. Ignore commentary on video... I was recording for a friend who has a clone of one of my PT plants and she asked about size 👩‍🌾🏼

👉 This is the first staggered harvest I have done. The highest parts of the plant were definitely ahead of each lower level of flowers. So it made sense to give this a try. Also, there were so many sugar leaves in the flowers I knew I was facing some major trim time. So I started at the highest branch of colas and that was the main stem…what I call the Queen cola, on April 4. I was also very busy with work and life so I spaced out each successive branch by a day or two…or so. To harvest I would cut each major branch from the top down. There would be one major cola ( and best specimen) on each branch. That cola was trimmed so it was still on its stem and then weighed. I recorded the weight of the cola then assigned it a letter, put on a clothes pin, then hung on a rack. I would weigh the cola over a couple of days till it had loss 75% of it wet weight. I would cut from the stem for the final weight, then place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor the jars and if they were above 62% I would take off the jar lid, then replace when humidity was back down. When stable I put a humidity pack in some of the jars, but not all, just to see if I can observe a difference after the cure. 👉 My last trim penance was served on May 1. Almost a full month. The first cola harvested is already being tested. I did a close trim and removed as many sugar leaves as possible. I think I spent over 10 hours in total. So glad I chose to stagger the job. I trimmed any frosty sugar leaves over a trim tray with a screen for a bottom. I also scissored a bunch of the larf buds into small bits to add to the trim. I made a nice small wafer of just trichomes with no plant matter. Very nice, sweet stuff. I’m letting the large pile of trimmed sugar leaves dry out till crispy and will hand grind them over that screen and press the kief produced into pucks. It’s green and has lots of plant material with it…but its still sweet, and a very nice topper to a bong or joint. 👉 There were a lot of nice buds of what I call secondary flowers. Those were on secondary branch ends mostly. These buds were placed on a dry net. After 24hrs, I placed them in a paper bag. When they had lost 75% of their wet weight they were put into a jar with a hydrometer. Almost everything that wasn’t a branch end flower was put in the larf bin. Lots of larf. I didn’t weight any of it dry and just the wet weight from a couple of branches. I plan on making bubble hash and extracts (oil and tincture) with the larf. Of course planning and doing are two separate issues. I have acquired all the proper gear and done lots of research. I am also experimenting with the drying environment. In the past I was using a direct fan to oscillate directly on the buds for 24 hrs. At 24hrs the buds were put in bags and also kept them in direct wind. After a couple of branch sets I decided to stop oscillating the fan and make the breeze indirect. I still put the buds in bags after 24 hrs and kept the wind indirect. It took a few days to get to 25% doing it this way, as opposed to 2 days in bags with direct wind. The slower is supposed to be better, but risks moldy buds. I’m not doing everything the same way so I’m curious to see if there are perceptible differences in jar aroma and taste. To further complicate things to eye-roll status, The staggered harvest should have improved the lower level of flowers to the same ripeness. I can honestly tell buds from the same plants taken at different levels. The lower ones are noticeably weaker. I won’t start testing to see if there is improvement till the flowers are at least 4 months cured.

Day 57 Day 14 Flower Done a big feed for start of week. Using 3ml not the recommended 4ml per ltr of base nutes. And using rec 2ml per added nute per ltr. She is initiating her stretch now, looking so happy and healthy, so this is 5/5 of the terp tree seeds. 2nd one to make it to flower. Very strong plant I'm happy 🙌💚 Day 58 Day 15 Flower Updated pictures today, how many tops?!? 🤣 Holy cow. No topping just LST and trying to mainline. Now I see the results on the tops already in start of flower, by doing this method I see it focuses more energy and effort from the plant to be directed to the tops after mainlining / lollipopping. If not over stressed they flipping thrive it's incredible. She is throwing out fat new growth, nodes are forming so nicely and she's about to pop 💪💚 Day 60 Day 17 Flower 27/05/24 Water today with calmag. Stretch is savage on her 😍 Day 63 Day 20 flower. 30/05/24 Again water with calmag today. pH 6.43

Day 83 flowering: Wow was that some ride with this huge lady ?. What seems like a never ending flowering cycle has hit its peak now and I want to pull her before the stress has her create foxtails on top of these odd structured flowers. Shebhas been fun to watch but at the same time frustrating. Seeing how she bounced back from the defol and clear out pre flowering and how she stretch to this size so quickly, had me convinced I would have a cola monster come harvest time. I dont doubt her yield will be worth the time and effort. Her colours are very attractive close up and the berry like structure is unique to any 8nhave grown before. She stinks to high heaven of Lemon and cat pee. lol hope the taste is more refined.lol I will update more pics as we get towards a harvest in about 10 days time. be safe and well growmies.. UPDATE ### So she is finally finished , I don't want to push her beyond her limit. She smells so strong now and should be a nice potential finish.Hopefully about 7-10 days low and slow drying will finishbjer perfectly. Fingers crossed ...

This plant has recovered from nutrient deficiency and is growing great. Doing lst everyday and plant is responding great. This is going to be a big girl. Still no signs of flower. The other NL from growers choice I grew took forever to flower also. Monday update - did a little defoliation. Looks a little thin. Should get fuller in a few days

Hey guys! Another update! 😃 This week is going to be the last one that I feed the plants and after that I'm going to just flush them for just one week. I took photos during the middle of the week just to see how trichomes were developing and there are more ambar! I want the top colas to be about 50% ambar and 50% cloudy while the ones below 30% ambar and 70% cloudy and I think I'll be able to reach that with ease. Besides that this week was relaxing, no big issues! And I've been removing more fan leaves so when the right moment arrive it'll be easier to clean the plant! And that way I can get some extra development in lower colas. The smell is strong now compared to other weeks (it's been getting stronger every week!) 😲 PD: The question is still up! In case anyone knows what could've happened 😱 Thanks for reading! 👋
