Week 2 of veg is in the books. Despite making some changes and dropping back to a 300w fixture, also upping the nute ratios - growth has been pretty decent for a single first week of veg. Got some yellowing on the leaves which is somewhat concerning. Again, hopefully rectified now that we’ve regulated to more acceptable temps and humidity. All are fairly uniform to start and the new bucket system has been issue free which is a bonus. Figure another week to the fim and then another week of veg before the flip. All on pace to get em to flower as quick as possiblešŸ‘Œ. We’ll cull as soon as able - if we pick up 3/4 spaces after losing the males that would greatly assist to free up some more space elsewhere and move in some new fems that have been backlogged recently. Finally back to focusing on quality buds and it’s and great feelingšŸ‘. Strain details She’s a mix of a particularly strong Northern Lights, crossed with a Spicy Bitch sativa hybrid. The hope is that we’ll be able to combine the overtly narcotic effects in the NL and mellow it out somewhat with the quality daytime sativa effects found in the SB. Both strains feature numerous grower qualities. Both parents possessed vigour and resiliency, the SB particularly colourful in late flower. These beans were the product of a shotgun breeding run that presented an unexpected opportunity so there’s quite a bit of testing that should flow from the various F1’s we’ve produced.

Plant is finishing up. The majority of the plant was taken down on day 84. A few buds were left on the plant so that the pollination of a few buds could let the seed develop

I have cut the food from the larger one, just another week or so i reckon. I could pull it now, trichs look good but aiming for a liiitle more amber. Very few clear if any. The small one is about 3 weeks behind im thinking, but my god does it stink. Most stinky plant ive had yet i think, despite its size haha.

What a great run, Very resistant plant I left the light on 3 times for 24 hours on three separate occasions and it did not herm. Very funky and almost like a pine and menthol taste to it..definitely worth growing again. Got some huge, dense nugs !!!

Doggo update Couple vids sprinkled in here. Love doing slo-mo with frisbee throws and treats catching in their mouth. Slo Mo vids didn’t upload slo mo so I had to go thru and edit them and screen record it just to get them in slow mo on the site but they’re worth it Dukes ear has been bugging him and so he pins it down sometimes with the other ear straight up and he looks goofy as hell.

-4/2/23 Start of Week --Week 2 -4/4/23 (Day 17) --Observations: still not having problems with daily nutrient spray, looks as if it has lost the explosive growth that it had in the first week. --Changes: lowered RH to 50%, also started spraying soil with nutrient water --Diary Entry: the HR was lowered because of other plants being in the last weeks before harvest, so it will be going back up in two weeks. the light cycle will change to 18/ 6 light/night once the other plants get harvested. the light will be lowered at the beginning of next week but the intensity will not be lowered unless problems arise. will be checking soil for PH and temperature at the end of the week, may take photo of the soil probe readings. -4/5/23 (Day 18) --Diary Entry: full watering without nutrients and sprayed with nutrients. Still working on first shade leaves, no second set yet. --Post-Note: still trying find good settings on my new Fujifilm X-H2 for the two lenses that I have, Fujifilm 16mm-80mm zoom and 30mm macro. Photos are only going to get better, also still having problems with focus stacking but that could be staking program. May start adding what lens is being used in the caption for each photo. -4/6/23 (Day 19) --Observations: second set of shade leaves are forming --Diary Entry: photo makes it hard to see the second set of shade leaves but they are there. will be taking end of the week photos and video with macro lens. -4/8/23 (day 21) --Observations: second set of shade leaves are growing quick --Diary Entry: quickly making progress now, should start forming branch nodes soon. one more week of 12/12 light/night cycle then it will get 18/6 light/night until it is required to start flower cycle, trying to line up harvest with the fast flower competition. will start training when branch nodes start forming, should be sometime late next week or the falowing week. -4/8/23 End of Week

Well this week I’ve tried lollipop on my main plants also removed a lot of fan leaves that we’re stopping air circulation also light reaching down to growing flowers beneath! Introduced canna flores and more cal mag to my feed! Also introduced another led light and turned up ballast light upto 400w keeping temperature at 26 when lights go out also it’s hitting temperatures of 28! When lights are on! Is this is an issue as I’ve removed my humidifiers! As been getting good readings without using a humidifier in a good few weeks now! They seem to be looking good! But still having to do research as would love to create some big colas!!! Second week into flowering now!

Plants are doing well. I'm going to top them soon. I tend to wait on topping to reduce stress, you never want to remove more that 1/3 of the plant( to each their own). I'll be FIMing the Sensi Star and Topping the Peyote. Pretty sure I stunted the White Widow from exposing it to the cold snap we had back in late February. I will top it and try and clone off the topping and see if that clone takes off. In my past I cloned plants outside in Mid June back in 2012 on 5 foot Agent Oranges, those clones caught up to the plants outside and eventually outperformed them, in less than two months. Never would have found that out if I didn't try. Happy growing everyone!

Chugging along. Much better fertilization rate than expected. All looking good up and down each branch. Almost all budsites are stacked with seeds even the lower ones Moved to different tent cuz original one was a damn mess with plant matter and whatnot on the floor. Only one that looks possibly behind us the PotG. I just think it’s a matter of not having seeds busting out the bracts quite like the others. Very happy with the results Check out previous weeks for procedure information. I’ll add them to each with soon. If not showing now go back to first couple weeks of the diary to see specifics on what I used, and how.

These gals are still recovering from getting chopped and pulled down. Almost sounds like bdsm. But the lower branches are starting to come in. They are beginning to get real green and possibly show lockout. Not a fan of the tiny ass pots and coco loco soil. Day 26: I snapped a branched/topped stem on one of them. :/ had to trim the wilting leaves off that side and hope it heals back

šŸ‘‰Last week the plant was showing a little fade, and still had a fair amount of clear trichomes. There were only a scant few fresh pistols and the plant was slowly ripening. This week, after switching to the ripening nutrient mix, I did see the plant gain more typical autumn colors, and I saw the buds plump a little more. There is foxtailing but its frost as it can get. While the bud structure wont be something a dispensary might sell, I have never bought from a dispensary, and all my plants that have foxtailed still gave killer buzz. I am sure the colors are because the tent temps at night were in the mid 60s and perhaps a bit lower at times. Even some cooler temps during the day. The trichomes have pretty much gone mostly cloudy and the plant looks as ready as it can get. I plan on Harvesting either tonight or tomorrow. šŸ‘‰I switched to the ripening mix this week and was probably a week slow to switching. I continued with the frequent fertigation all week and performed no ā€˜flushing’ per se. I did give it a couple of H20nly irrigation followed by full strength nutrient fertigation’s. The EC of run off was not spiking, but the pH was dropping noticeably so I used the irrigation and high volume fertigation’s to keep the media pH in the target range of mid to high 5’s. The plants roots are obviously very dense and it takes up to 10+ minutes to give it 3l of solution. šŸ‘‰The aroma is very strong. It smells of the generic funky stank, with a pleasant sweet note. I vent directly outside and when the breezes are swirling it envelopes the outdoors with the skunky stank my wife hates. She exclaims daily how much it smells of a skunk outside. This makes me happy because I know Im doing it right! The aroma is strong enough that even strong winds can not blow the wonderful aroma away. šŸ‘‰My phone doenst take the best pix, it distorts the actual color hues and I have adjusted some of them to be more accurate. The phone doesnt adjust to the grow lights to true colors. I will be harvesting the plant tommorow. so Next update will be when all harvest and cure data is complete in 6 weeks.

The double kush cake has gone through stress with a little bit of bleached leaves and red veins heat spots on the leaves all due to heat stress which has caused her to stunt So I have relocated her to her original spot as it is cooler. She is still growing under the light distance of 60cm. The double kush cake is receiving 100ml of fluids every three days she stands approximately 52cm from the soil.

So, jetzt endet mein Grow hier mit. Mein erster Grow jemals und noch dazu meine erste Automatic. Die Sorte Royal Bluematic war nicht unbedingt schwer anzubauen, sie hatte lediglich hier und da mal ein paar kleine Punkte von irgendwelchen Viechern, sonst nie Beschwerden gehabt. Würde nicht behaupten, dass die Pflanze extrem schwer anzubauen war aber auch nicht extrem leicht, allgemein kann ich das schlecht beurteilen, da es ja mein erster Grow war. Der Anbau war trotzdem recht einfach. Man sollte sie auf jeden Fall nicht hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit aussetzen, da meine zweite Bluematic ein paar Schimmel Stellen hatte, die hier zum Glück nicht. Im Endeffekt habe ich nicht viel gemacht, außer sie mal zu gießen, zu düngen und zu beschneiden. Ich bin mit 37g trockene Ernte rausgekommen. HƤtte gedacht es ist deutlich weniger, bin aber sehr zufrieden ā˜ŗļø (Beim Nass Gewicht nur geschƤtzt, hab es nicht gewogen).
