In week 9 my 'Fruity Terp' ladies have grown substantially and filled out the space in my HOMEBOX growtent. Therefore its time to do a round of defoliation. I take out my plants one by one and cut off the lowest branches on the stem (the ones not grown tall enough to get good light) and also the biggest fan-leaves (the ones shading the lower part of the canopy). The defoliation will increase the airflow thru my plants, which will in turn help to avoid mold from a build-up of humidity between the leaves. The light can now also penetrate deeper into the canopy now and therefore lower buds will also get more light and can grow bigger. The SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs are doing a GREAT job, my babies love their spectrum and intensity and grow like hell. The nutrients from BIO NOVA work EXCELLENT, all plants have a nice healthy green color. Since we are further in flowering now, I also add PK 13-14 from BIO NOVA following their 'SOIL-CULTIVATION' schedule.

This plant has been eating a ton, we feed with every watering now and there's been no protest..if fact we may increase due to light shade. The FC-E6500 is an absolute beast of a light, I'm so happy my husband finally made the purchase for us..with lower power consumption and higher yields; this light will pay for itself shortly. We've been talking about also getting a 5x5 so we can utilize its full light footprint... ..You might notice a cheap "blurple" LED hanging from the scrog table,we hung it there to add some weight. If its not clear to tell from the photos, this plant is completely overgrown, we definitely let this go for far too long but I'm excited to see what kind of yield we'll get (this is our highest yielding strain by far).. I would be shocked by anything less than 1lb.. We've had the FC-E6500 at 50-75% for the first 2 weeks of flower, we're leery on distance still and didn't want to chance burning but with no signs of stress we decided to move it up to 100% today and we'll monitor colesly for a few days.. We run 3 tents but temps are awesome since dumping all the HID in that room, this is something we should have done years ago..things are going so smoothly and we couldn't be happier..Thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️❤️❤️ ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~ 8/17 She is sooooo overgrown lmao 😹.. Josh gave her a haircut yesterday to thin her out some..we have no idea how she'll finish but I think a trellis net is in her future.. we have the FC-E6500 at 100% strength now and no signs of stress or burning to this point, this light is simply amazing..we may purchase a 5x5 so we can utilize its entire footprint..things are going awesome (albeit messy) but we'll update if anything changes..thanks Growmies, much love! ❤️❤️❤️ ⚡Mars Hydro/FC-E6500⚡ Specifications ⚙️: 650 watt, full spectrum design, removable light bars and driver 🔌 Diodes: BridgeLux chips (3978 count!)

She looks very good and healthy,however she started flower with a very small size,I thought she was gonna be a little bigger at least but regardless of that,she's such a beauty and smelling very good so far,I'm excited about this strain. Let's see how she performs guys!

I was still seeing strange things happen in the leaves but runoff pH was staying at around 6.5. One plant toppled over and started growing up from a bent stalk like an herb. I started looking for a new reflector so that I could mount my light horizontally instead of vertically to save space and ideally find a way to get the plants closer to the light without burning them. I started looking into MH bulbs as well as I figured at this point I clearly hadn't provided the light they needed. If I wanted them to thrive I needed to set them up properly for the last few weeks of veg. I transplanted this week into slightly bigger coco pots but in retrospect I feel I should have gone up to 3 gallon pots at this point.

She's chunking up so much and just continues to get smellier and smellier! This plant's been getting compost tea and overdrive/ph perfect bloom only until end of this week, then I'll begin flush!

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana si inizia a vedere la resina e ora si inizieranno a formare le cime, per questo aggiungo Sugar Shot di @xpertnutrients vedremo l'evoluzione settimana prossima. Questa piccola ha un numero di cime veramente clamoroso, sono soddisfatto di come è cresciuta ora però mi aspetto molto da lei.... Grazie a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️

amazing growth this week from all 3 plants. The peanut butter cookies is recovering from the transplant. Both the auto cheese and auto cinderella jack have both started to show signs of flowering and have bushed out incredibly well. The pbc has had its first top done and has started growing 2 extra nodes. 07/08/2020 - training has been done on all the autos. They have recovered extremely well and seem to not be slowing down. Finally starting to see the type of flowers I have been striving for. After a semi unsuccessful first grow, this has been a huge relief. Both autos are now showing signs of going into flower so I will try to stop LST unless any unruly branches form. The peanut butter cookies has now started to fully recover from the transplant and topping. Will now allow this to flourish and grow as big as it wants as both autos should be done before its too big (hopefully)

She is massive. Some of her leaves are already getting trichomes.

I wish it was easier to upload media here. That's why is taking me so long. Stretching everywhere, she went from 3 feet to 6 feet in a heartbeat. She is running into the light. I raised the ppm because I'm going to turn 600 watts on. They look healthy, but too much legs.

Day 1: Auto flowers are getting some nice crystal. Purple Kush smells nice, Pink Kush smells like wet veg. The root mass on Purple Kush is huge! The photos were defoliated, and finally both showing flowers. pH is 6 Day 3:. Finally got to LST Red Purps, she really needed it. I pulled some of the Purple Maroc branches and tried defoliating, but it's thick in there. The previous LST still has a lot of branches bent, but a lot of new growth has popped up. I wonder if it's because I broke the main collar last week. I have to find more weights to tie down the last few branches. Day 7: Purple Kush wreaks of grape bubble gum. Pink Kush wreaks of gas.

This bean is during me CRAZY 🤣🤣🤣 I had some slow growth with my RuntZ, but they are on the go. This strain —- I gotta get the conditions right for it. It seems to prefer less water and more heat?? I am not flowering this strain until I can take 5-6 Clone’s off of it. It’s been feed SST, LABS, bacteria, fungi, rain dances. Just isn’t responding like I assumed, but I am taking responsibility for the issues, NOT the cultivar. 11-3 And……we are back in the game!!! The inputs began showing the effectiveness. Leaves are larger, no stretching. The bean just took a second to “kick” in gear with some added help. This is going to be a very long VEG…we are talking 4-5 months before I flower this. I want multiple clones off this strain so my summer grow outdoor is going to be SICK ( 6 ft tall ladies).

Day 78 /84 is today which upon checking my trics id say they will be ready for 48 hrs of straight darkness on day 83/89..... from there they will be sawzawed unless yall got a pair of scissors that can cut through 3 inch stems hahaha damn rhino skin .....(buyit) All 3 cookies gelato are turning purple 😋 💜 😍 ya babe shine for me Cg1 is a yeilder that smells like straight up Blueberry pancakes with some side muffins Cg2 is short but she got cake bro ..... sticky n will be a trimmer Cg3 no joke smells like candy gas and so frosty I think we might class this one as the best I might ever grow lol no shares on this lady fingerprint scanner on the jar opener ....... Green gelato is one hella weird growing plant to me idk why maybe I did something wrong or right but these buds r still skinny but fattened up alot tha ks to over drive .... they are about 20 inch buds and 6 main colas that long smells like lemon candy and gas earthy mix deff gonna be a trimmer but a decent yeild I bet for how small the bud sticks are lol 😆 they like foot long hotdogs but like 2 of em in 1 lol 😆 😂 👌 Anyways so far so good kept it clean tidy and fulfilled my passion for thc ... What more could always bored needed something to do carpenter with zero side time ask for honestly tho for my 1st ever grow eith 100%brand new equipment not knowing what I'm doing , I think I did well I pat myself on.

Till next week when we get some hopefully final pics b4 dry?????

Another good week, just puttering away on grow. Did some high stress training on plant to space out a bit better. Added 2 more buckets and moved 2 plants from the incubator tent. See the video for details. PPM: 400-500 in res; the drain side is only spiking 50-100ppm. Looking fairly good. Trying to keep VPD bit more in range on this grow; closely controlling temp and humidity. Issues: 1. humidifier died in spectacular dump of 4 gallons of water on the floor; made a custom system. 2. The drain line vacuum locks; going need a air-pump or vent line to break the vac. 3. The different plant sizes require different feed ppm and cycles on timer. The larger plant likes 5 seconds on / 5 mins off. Vid series over here on grow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C9piZD0Qs8&list=PLNiOfaE13UMnEon7e5ytiQTRkqMeSn2YH

not much has happened this week. there is still some sun per day. however, the temperatures drop to 4-8 degrees at night. these are not exactly the best conditions. maybe this late outdoor experiment was not a good idea after all. however, they have not died yet.
