Week 16! Week 8 of flowering. She is foxtailing on the topmost buds due to light stress. I measured 90k lux(!) at some buds, which is way too much (she got a little out of hand during the stretch, and grew way too tall) She is drinking less and less water and eating less nutrients. I think she is in the harvest window now, even though she is sprouting lots of new pistils. I will cut down and hang to dry next week, in about 5/6 days. Excited!! EDIT: BANANA ALARM Found a banana. There is probably more of them that I can't see because the lower canopy is so packed. Unsure if to harvest now or not. As it is late in flower I don't know if quality will suffer because of a few more days with herming. Opinions? EDIT II: BUD ROT As I inspected the plant today I saw a dead leaf on one of the tops, which I was able to pull right off. Turned out there was bud rot inside the bud. I cut the bud off. Will harvest later today or tomorrow.

My little potential mutant is chugging along, on the new growth now the middle 3rd leaflet is dwarfing and looks to be paling off/dying while it seems to focus only on some leaves! Edit: its definately mutating or something lol iv never seen this before! And the seed was like 3 Times the size of a normal seed 🤣

previous watering was fed with liquid nutrients, my temperatures are not low so the nutrients come slowly with some intervals giving only water without much runoff occurring a mixture of soil and mycorrhizae for better performance i know i needed calcium and magnesium good the problem was money, i will continue with epsom salt the option i have direct sulfur in the soil has helped me hear a visible change. water ph 6.2 solution temperature 20 ° - 0.50 g of great white mycorrhiza 2 days earlier were sprayed with water without ppm via leaves - lights off to serve as a cooling shower in the heat is great for stomata . Simple led panel added as main light source 260watts being divided to 3 plants in the fullspectro tent model, did not get much difference in temperatures compared to HPS, is more the same spectro ratio and UV to reach more directly in the trichomes and terpenes. Large leaves, like a true sativa even if they are long, go in equally straight and thin shape, trichomes with glands larger than their sister, but this one in front really does not hear physical stress from something just high temperature training, but are very resistant To this, I imagine later on taking this same genetics at favorable temperatures and hydro. A strong smell that I will have to turn to buy a filter, I can not with curious and malicious neighbors need to really contain the smell.

Week 3 starts Poundcake #1 is on Day 15 as of 25/07 the rest are between day 11 and 14 Poundcake #1 suffering slight light burn from me putting the se3000 power up to 75%. Its back down to 65% now 😅 The two smaller pots on the right are in coco not living soil. Just keeping them indoors for now why not 👌 Added a organic seedless straw mulch for more microbe friendly activity and help prevent the fast drybacks I'm getting with the current heat 😰

MY FIRST GROWBOX MY FIRST SEED MY FIRST GERMINATION MY FIRST CULTIVATED PLANT MY FIRST COLLECTION WHAT A SATISFACTION ... REWARDING AS FEW THINGS IN LIFE .... I MADE IT !!! AFTER A FEW DAYS OF DRYING I DON'T HIDE YOU HAVING PUT SOME FLOWER ON THE LED GRID .... BLEAAA A STRONG FLAVOR OF GRASS AND SOIL .... I WAS A LITTLE IMPATIENT I ADMIT IT .... BUT DO NOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH IT IS ... IT HAS BEEN HARD FOR ME TO FACE ALL THE DEFENSE GROWTH BY EATING MY NAILS ... I HAVE NEVER ATTENDED THE ENTIRE BLOOMING PROCESS AND I WAS UNKNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE EVERY TIME AND THEREFORE FOR THE WHOLE TIME I WOULD ASK YOU FROM A PAIR OF LEAVES TO BECOME LARGE AND JUICY GEMS ...... SPECTACULAR ... MAGNIFICENT ... I REMEMBER HOW LONG IT WAS WAS TO PURCHASE GRASS HERE AND IT DID NOT BE UNDEFEATED IMMEDIATELY IN THIS MAGNIFICENT EXPERIENCE ... MY GRASS IS MY GRASS AND THIS I UNDERSTAND IT NOW I HAD FANTASTIC SUPPORT FROM ALL OF YOU THANK YOU ONE BY ONE FOR YOUR VERY PRICE TIPS ... I CUT THE PLANTS AFTER THE TWO WEEKS FLUSH AND I HANGED THEM WITH ALL THE STEM I PERFORMED A DRY TRIMM AFTER FIFTEEN DAYS OF DRYING AFTER TAKING CARE OF MY GRASS I REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT PASTA IS MADE OF WAUUUUU I HAS A LITTLE HASH ... BUT NOT HAVING GOOD FILTERS IT HAS NOT COME VERY PURE WITH THE REST OF THE WASTE I AM TRYING TO EXTRACT OIL WITH PURE ALCOHOL ... ONCE I EXTRACT I WILL MIX IT WITH A TEN GRAMS OF FLOWER MAKING IT A SPLENDID SMOKE GREETINGS TO ALL MY FRIENDS OF GROWERE VERY HAPPY AND ABUNDANT COLLECTED TO ALL OF YOU

These cali genetics are blowing my mind 🤯 super sticky, very frosty rock dence buds with extra strong smells. All 3 strains are 10 out of 10, very impressed. Done last defoliation few days ago, preparing for the harvest so it's much easier. Stalks are super fat, same as buds. Got big surprise from Atami, plant food, and many extras. Crazy. Thanks a lot guys. 💚 Start adding you Bloombastic food already. They love it. Smell is mad. I think most of plants ready in week or so.

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.
