After week 16 of this grow my 'Fruity Terps'-plants are ready to harvest. I check the trichome-heads with a handheld-microscope (magnification of 150, available in every growshop) and see that all have turned milky and some start to turn amber already. That means PEAK-THC (=all trichome-heads have turned milky) has been reached inside the trichome and it is time to harvest. If I would let them go longer now and continue to flower them, more of the trichome heads will turn amber as the THC breaks down again to other cannabinoids, and the effect of the cannabis will get more sedative when smoked. For some chronic pain patients this is what they want from their medicine, therefore it is advisable for them to let the weed flower than recommended. The aroma coming out of the tent is STRONG and DELICIOUSLY FRUITY! 😍 The fade from the flush has turned the bigger fan-leaves yellow or purple now, this shows the plant is using her own sugars now and has used up all nutrients saved inside her. That is exactly what I want, since a well flushed plant ensures a clean, smooth smoke when the buds are dried. This is my MEDICINE and I use it against my chranic back-pain from hernia, therefore I have to make sure I can consume my medicine as pure and clean as possible. All my plants have grown big buds, which are glistening with TRICHOMES, the SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs did an OUTSTANDING JOB! In combination with the BIO NOVA nutrients, all plants THRIVED throughout the cycle and were able to grow healthy to their full potential.

26-09-2021: 3rd week of veg-stage. Great. Will the be the last week or am I going to let them grow another week. I am switching to 12/12 as soon as the containers are not visible anymore. Then I also put the light on 100% power (75 right now). I sprayed the leaves with Hy-Pro Spraymix. Also topped the Runtz Muffin to slow her down a bit. Ladies almost touching the SCROG-net so probably next week starting to SCROG. I like that period on soil. Had no succes on hydro jet so I am curious how this will go. 27-09-2021: Ok.. The growth is good now, it's nice to see how they get a boost as soon as the roots hit the water. 5 cm in 1 night is really no exception. In the meantime, the first Gelato has just tapped it, so topped it right away. Now in doubt... The EC is at 1.1 and as you can see in the diagram below, the EC decreases slightly over a period of 3 days and the PH increases slightly. In fact, this indicates that the EC set is now almost perfect. (In a perfect situation the values ​​remain the same and only the water level drops). So I can go up slightly with the EC and the system is set up in such a way that as soon as the clock turns the EC goes to 1.4. However, I still assume that I am 3 weeks of pre-growth (that is now 11 days) and that means that the EC is still on the low side for 11 days. A low EC ensures faster growth is my experience so far (and is also confirmed by what I read about it). Now I can choose 2 options... continue to grow for a few more days on the low EC and then a little earlier to 12 hours or increase the EC slightly for stronger roots and trunks and then complete the 11 days. The danger of the latter is that they continue to grow quickly and that I will soon have a much too full net (after all, they generally want to grow considerably after the switch). Tough decision. Lighting basically the same story. Now running at 75% and I see nice wide plants with big leaves. Under the TSL, the plants are much more even than under the SP3000. You can see very well that the SP3000 actually hangs above the front row of ladies and that the light does not radiate to the back row. The TSL suffers significantly less from this. I could solve this by hanging the SP3000 a little higher for more spread, but the purpose of this test is to compare. What do you think? increase both lamps to 45 cm and then at 100% or just continue? The danger of raising is that they will stretch more and I don't want that because my net has a fixed height and that has proven to be fine in the past for an even scrog (see also Jack Herer round). I have to say that I can't wait for the ladies to hang full in the net. Daily tying is a very therapeutic activity for me, as is photographing the buds as they begin to take shape. Then I ask for advice on the following... I ordered Green Sensation this week with the idea of ​​adding it from the 4th week of flowering. My nutrition computer can only work on the basis of proportions (in this case 5ml/L hydor A/B and 1ml/L green sensation). However, the bottle advises to dose green sensation first and then adjust the EC. My computer won't do this. I therefore wonder whether I will not dose too little Green Sensation. How could I solve this? (daily manual dosing is not an option because of the recirculating system). 28-09-2021: Refreshed the water, Sunday/monday switching to 12/12. Irrigation turned off for rest of the round so I hope for the little lady that she survives that. Bond First Lady under the net so scrogging is starting now 😬 29-09-2021: Today I snapped the Red Hot Cookies (the only one😢) so moved the little purple Haze in her place. Besides that I decided that it is time for 12/12 so I switch the light scheme 3 days earlier. Hoping that an tiger EC will strengthen them a bit.

They started growing crazily. LST is done. It is too hot inside some leaf burnt but I removed summer time outsode is 3p degrees so it raises up the temperature inside as well.

Day 50 from seed and these BCN criticals have a lovely citrus smell. When i open the tent, its the first thing i smell. Theyre all healthy and running. Lights are still on 20/4. Bit of redish/amber hairs showing up. When i loom at other pictures its just the genes of the genetic. I Cant wait to harvest this! Ive started adding more biobizz as it states on the chart. And then i water with normal tap water every 2 days! I will post an update for week 8 next week! One love!

24/03/23 beautiful and full of swollen buds and very thick branches, the smell they give off gives the idea of ​​what is being grown we are almost at the end of the flowering cycle. I water them regularly with bio bloom, bio grow, I removed a few leaves as they grew, and I didn't do anything anymore, nature did it all by itself! enjoy ___________ 28/03 we have almost reached the end of the flowering cycle, at most 15/20 days the buds are complete. the smell has invaded the whole room and is very strong!, the branches are very thick and full, I look forward to it! the fruits

It’s the third week of flowering, and the plants are starting to show some exciting progress! 🌿 The buds have begun to build mass, and the first signs of trichome development are visible, giving them a light nice, frosty look. ✨ I did notice a few nutrient deficiencies on the leaves, likely due to underfeeding, as I’m using a medium with 50% coco. To fix this, I adjusted the nutrient levels, and the plants seem to be responding well. 🌱 The plant that wasn’t trained with LST is about a week ahead in development compared to the LST version, showing more advanced bud growth. Also, the smell is becoming more pronounced, with the first hints of that classic, sweet aroma filling the tent. 🍬🌿 I’m excited to see how things continue to unfold in the coming weeks! 😁✨

Hey growers! Another week down and everything’s running smoothly. The plants look happy, growing nicely, and smelling amazing. They handled the defoliation without any problems and keep growing strong. I also added another oscillating fan on the floor to keep the air moving well. Peace and happy growing! ✌️

Loving how these girls are growing Fastbuds mystery #1 finally catching up, and may possibly in the end being a better producer than the RQS plant, which is surprising to me because of how badly I stunted this plant. Got me curious how good this plant could’ve been

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3 D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. 🙏🙌 Praise be to Swerve 👑, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

Fed her a 2/3 strength dosage of the FF trio today. Gonna let her dry out then proceed to feed her pH6.8 water with molasses. Already showing trichs only 2 weeks into flower, I can tell she's going to prosper! Monday, 18th update: Added a video showing buds right after a molasses watering - frosty ;)

Not much to say , had a timer issue with my dripper, for some reason it just reset its self leading to the medium drying out and going up to around 3.5EC ! Hopefully it won't cause any issues now I've brought it down to 2.2EC , I guess I'll find out over the next few days . happy growing 💚

Buenas shurs después de la poda FIM,las plantas han respondido muy bien excepto sweet skunk que no se si sera por su raza o por que ella simplemente es así pero están muy bien,se ha hecho una selección de clones,las plantas están en 28/32 cm siendo las sweet skunk las más pequeñas a las más altas se les ha repetido la poda FIM cuando termine esta semana comenzaremos la floración,en cuanto a abono todas están deseando de coger aún más nutrientes,veremos la reacción de ellas tras una segunda poda FIM. saludos y dulces humos
