despite the high summer temperatures the balckdog is proving to be a very strong indica variety!

The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing fast, stretching long and I'm constantly tying down branches to maintain an even canopy. There's also a stronger scent of lemon already in the tent. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce “popcorn” buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 3L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----prior 4 weeks updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. Lost a branch end with 3 nodes accidentally whilst tucking away so now I'm super careful. The Sativa dominant strain is stretching nicely and bends easily. Minor defoliation of lower branches and fan leaves continues daily. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-30 in vegetative stage - switching the light regime to flowering. Initiated flowering with an extended dark period prior to switching light regime - this practice is supposed to promote a faster initiation of flowering by the plant. Maintain lights off from Dec-31, 10:00 until Jan 1 - 18:45 allowing a 32hr darkness period prior to switching the light regime. Light regime is set for 12.5/11.5 on/off allowing me a better maintenance window for my living situation. Both plants are growing fast and strong, showing their genetic traits. Some shoots are going through the net already. Have started to tuck branches as they grow to fill up any gaps. Did minor defoliation on both plants near their stem base and centres. Some green algae on roots/coco medium on the surface of the pot. Have defoliated some more which hopefully helps with air circulation at the area. Will monitor over the week - may need to decrease watering frequency, although they seem to be keeping up drinking. Lowered the High Humidity setting of the extraction fan to 60% - which effectively keeps it running at least 75% of the time, and removed the humidifier. Will monitor and adjust as necessary lowering the setting to 50% in a few weeks whilst flowering. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-23 in vegetative stage. Installed the ScrOG net - Set at 20cm from the base of the plants, being 55cm from ground. The plant is showing great growth, lots of branching and new growth sprouts. A few branches are beginning to come through the net and almost all main branches are now tied down horizontally after the two recent toppings. Applied more LST and will wait for the branches to reach the net and start tucking. The AC Infinity fan is currently only running intermittently with its current settings. This seems to impact the utilisation and effectiveness of the carbon filter in use. The desired outcome is for the fan to be running for longer periods whilst in Auto config. Lowered the High Level Humidity from 70% to 60%, and more importantly, lowered the Max Speed from 4 to 2 with the intent that a lower fan speed will result in longer periods where the extraction fan is operated to remain below threshold targets for the grow space. Plant growth continues to be strong at the end of the week. Big fan leaves near the top are beginning to look a little serrated and dark, similar to the start of this grow. This may be due to the extra CalMag being added which was the issue at the start of the grow. Will keep monitoring and half the CalMag dosage on next feed. Importantly, I have learnt nutrient mixing of the CalMag should be done prior to the Canna Coco A & B. To date I have done the opposite which may explain my earlier issues. Fertigating daily at the start of the light cycle. One more week of vegetative growth before switching to flowering although I may need to switch earlier due to the vigorous growth and considering the stretch yet to come. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ................................. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

Start of week 4 of flowering. Week 3 went well, even with temps reaching 35°c in the closet. I've since added another fan to circulate more air, temps have dropped down to 31°c. Despite the heat stress, the plants are growing rather well and bud sites are developing nicely. Light defoliation again this feeding. Based on the heat issues, I need to upgrade my exhaust fan, 100 CFM isn't enough to get ride of the heat.

See you next week with harvest And smoke report od Blueberry Bliss

Va tomando forma y masa los cogollos

Las tres primeras plantas del vídeo son gorilla glue 4 y las otras watermelon. Se observa en las watermelon un inicio de floración un poco raro, con malformaciones en las primeras preflores. Seguimos para ver evolución de esta planta!

Começamos na semana 5, não tenho registos das semanas anteriores, espero quer gostem deste diário em português. A Planta do meio é a NLA e as em volta as GGA. Atualização com fotos todos os Sábados. Resumo DIario: - Dia 37 - 04/10 : Misturei 50g de guano de morcego (1-15-1) na superfície de cada vaso, reguei cada um deles com 1.5L de agua com Ph ajustado em 6.3, o desenvolvimento está bom, sem nada mais a apontar. - Dia 38 - 05/10 : Notei um aumento significativo na intensidade do cheiro, estão a crescer bastante bem, não apresentam nenhum problema de nutrição, a NLA, naturalmente, está com a floração mais atrasada. - Dia 39 - 6/10 : Fiz mais uma rega de 1.5L em cada vaso, o solo estava seco, como já havia fertilizado o solo á 2 dia com guano de morcego, coloquei apenas 3ml/L de CANNA Terra Flores e ajustei o Ph para 6.3. Elas estão a exigir muita agua, é bom sinal. - Dia 40 - 7/10 : As meninas deram uma boa secada no solo, a intensidade do cheiro está realmente mais forte, estão a florir bem. - Dia 41 - 8/10 : A terra estava praticamente seca, reparei que uma das GGA está a apresentar a ponta das folhas amarelada/queimada, principalmente nas folhas inferiores, poderá ser possível carência de Nitrogénio, pois é um nutriente móvel que a planta pode levar para as folhas superiores na falta do mesmo, adicionei 2ml/L de CANNA Terra Vega, que é um nutriente baseado em Nitrogénio e Ferro, á solução habitual, ajustei o Ph para 6.3 e reguei cada vaso com 1.5L, vou deixar a terra secar bem em 3/4 dias e acompanhar como reagem.

Buds are forming well. Trichomes are also developing.

These ladies have started their final stretch. Pink kush will be the first one I harvest, I’m just waiting for her to put out a few amber trichomes and so far she has none maybe within the coming week. Canna-cheese has maybe 2 weeks left. She has the nicest fade I’ve seen so far out of the plants I’ve grown, but she for sure needs to get fatter. Strawberry Skywalker is short but thick, she’s barely starting to fade so I thunk maybe in 3 weeks she’ll be done, still no amber trichs and I’m sure she will get much fatter. Alien berries has surprised me. She was the runt and although a slim plant in veg, she’s putting out some fat knuckles, maybe in 3-4 weeks she’ll be done. Over all good conditions except for a couple spikes in heat a few days. Still no intense smell either.

From now on, I shall update my diary everyday. I used some rosemary oil spray for the remaining spider mites. Worked like a charm Day 40: the buds are still developing new pistils. The weather these days has been sunny to cloudy with some rain.

Plants were stunted for a few days from transplant and roots took a long time to make their way down to water line.

Ola guys..                                     First day of flowering for this two super Cookies Kush plant..                   For now they aren't directly under the Black Dog light😍, because I don't have much space...but in a couple of days I want to put they in better  and definitely position..                    I cut off some leafs and small branches, and I spraying they  with a mix of 2 ml Acti-vera and 2 ml Fish-mix..and they, apparently, responds well..                                    I never do it before..so..we will to see what's append..                                                           Hope the best, and..               Thanks for the time to  reading🙏..          See you next week..                      bye            😊✌️  

This plant have a very strong smell and there are very high THC with a good balance that allows you to still be productive on my day . All popcorn and small buds were chopped into pieces and put in a pot for edibles. The buds that grow from the plant that did very well are very dense and heavy the main cola waited 15.56 grams dry

I'm still waiting for the buds to dry so i cant put the numbers :D great experience. Next time i will pay way more attention to the last part of the grow....unfortunately i've been so busy and i coudn't take care of them as i wish. I am absolutely Happy with the results...I'm conscious I've made some mistake and neglect them for a while...but I'm still happy with my first grow...I've got a lot to learn and it's just the beginning. Happy grow to everyone. Thanks to everyone who helped me with many suggestions...and thank you to those who tried to help me but I still did it my way (sometimes doing it good and sometimes doing it wrong). Se you soon Growmies

Gold Sativa is doing well. Going into bulking. I just did a solution change, and upped her nutrition. She is in a New Level Hydro bucket, under a Spider Farmer SE5000 light.

Day 44, growing well.. One pheno has strange branch development. First time seeing this, she topped herself :) you can see on video.

The wedding cake in the top right of the pics is showing a slight sensitivity to the feed and has nutrient burn on some leaves, but the strawberry cough on the left hand side is being as good as ever not had any issues with it so far one of the easiest strains I've grown to date
