New update for week 12, concluding week 8 of flowering: Hi(gh) Folks! Thanks everyone for your input on my second grow question. I’m going for HighTV’s answer, the SOG with 9x4 main buds. Very nice to get everyone’s input on this, appreciate it! So another week done! They got their last nutrients Tuesday and on Thursday the 5 early ladies from Hempire got their first round of plain acidulated water. I flushed them a bit on Friday and Saturday to. Now they can dry out for a couple of days. I will flush them for the upcoming week and let them dry out before harvest next weekend. Im counting on them to swell up even further during this week. As for the rest of the 4 plants from Hempire, 4 from Royal Queen Seeds and 3 from Hy-Seeds, I will treat them as if this is another week 8, and they will get another dose of Flowering nutrients and PK. Then next week I will start to flush them also. I will have 2 full weeks to flush and let them dry out until my planned harvest on Saturday 5 January. I’m not even sure that will be early enough for the 4 RQS’s since they look like they have even more bud-growing to do, before they can start swelling! I will keep an eye on that. The 5 tall ladies, 2 from Hempire and 3 from Hy-Seeds show the nice thick Kushy buds i’m craving for, can’t wait to see the becoming nice and heavy! On the photos you see the slight diverence between the pheno’s, the left 2 plants grew the popcorn-buds on a stem, and the right ones have nice thick popcornbuds against the stem’s. The other to remaining Hempire plants also show these, apart from the early ladies offcourse. The early birds show a little stretching buds and nice purple colours. So next week will see the early ladies harvested, I hope? Look out for my next update and don’t forget to like! Thanks and see you!

********* Week 12 - February 24 to March 1, 2020 (Days 78 to 84 from seed coming out of medium) Well this is not the update I was expecting to provide! She did go into darkness on Sunday night and came out on Tuesday evening. Everything was ready and did the final video and pictures. When scanning the pictures though there were still a lot of clean trichomes!!😩😪 So made the decision to keep her going for another week and back into the flower tent and fed her some sweetener again😀😀 If I had another seed of her I would have stayed committed for comparison but I didn't want to pull this one too early and will ride it out. For the most part then the week was really just about keeping her in a dark part of the tent and gave the medium a couple of feedings. She has responded well to this extra time and when reviewed on Saturday she had become more frosty and the trichomes finally went all cloudy. There are more amber in her now as a result of waiting but the trade off was that more now became cloudy than became amber👍👍 Next update will be a harvest!! Green Poison has been wonderful to help along as she has aged. She has many stems with a lot of bud sites that have filled out. Her smells have been more earthy and floral and I am excited to see how they change as she cures. Three week flush👍😁😁 Thanks for the opportunity Sweet Seeds! Again, not much to add as this was simply a week of letting her ripen, keep environment cool & dry, and not worry about nutrient issues😀 Little more detail: Feb 24/20 - Day 78 - In the dark today Feb 25/20 - Day 79 - back into Flower tent.....she is not ready for harvest yet. Feb 26/20 - Day 80 - 3L water with Rezin & Liquid Weight @ 1.5ml/L = 80ppm and 6.1pH - Some of her hairs have turned a dark red. They are drying and not much can be done. Feb 27/20 - Day 81 - Nothing today Feb 28/20 - Day 82 - 2L plain water. No additives and didn't pH. Feb 29/20 - Day 83 - nothing today - take down tomorrow. Mar 1/20 - Day 84 - harvest day so leaving her alone and drying in the pot a bit. Thanks for checking out my run of Green Poison Growmies!!!! If you get a chance to grow her........she will make you smile😁😎🙏

The week ends Sunday Mar-1, being day 61 of flowering since flipping the light. From first pistils shown, it's day 45 which is a more accurate snapshot of where the plants actually are in their maturity. The buds development is progressing albeit slowly and trichomes are still clear across the canopy with lots of frost on the sugar leaves. The buds have beautiful structure and quite fluffy. Swelling has started on some calyxes. Light is maintained at 30cm above the canopy, with single daily fertigation at lights on - watering 3L per day. Fertigation pH target is 5.9-6.2 whilst flowering. Stopped the practice of fertigating at lights off due to the springtales infestation. Need to allow at least 2-4hrs of lights on period after fertigation. The coco is not dry but still damp on the surface after 24hrs from fertigation. Trying to maintaining an average RH in the space at 50% but it's getting harder now with all flowers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive & active 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 - GHE Flora trio nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - 2x Govee Thermo/Hygro meters (one at canopy the other at the roots level)

The week ends Sunday Mar-1, being day 61 - week 8 of flowering since flipping the lights. From first pistils shown, it's day 45 which is a more accurate snapshot of where the plants actually are in their maturity. Started the ripening feed phase for the plant. No other nutrients or supplements added (other than enzyme). Lots of orange hairs covering the top buds and buds lower are beginning to also ripen. Trichomes are cloudy now across the canopy with a few amber. Will be monitored for any changes to initiate flushing for 2 days prior to harvesting the tops. Not much change in the buds development on the plant. The CBD has dense nugget style buds with some swelling starting. Light is maintained at 30cm above the canopy, with single daily fertigation at lights on - watering 3L per day. Fertigation pH target is 5.9-6.2 whilst flowering. Stopped the practice of fertigating at lights off due to the other pot developing a springtales infestation. Need to allow at least 2-4hrs of lights on period after fertigation. The coco is not dry but still damp on the surface after 24hrs from fertigation. Seems the plant is slowing down the amount of water intake which is expected at this stage. Trying to maintaining an average RH in the space at 50% but it's getting harder now with all flowers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom.

Well 150 days wasted down the drain. I woke up and decided to check the girls this morning and found a fun Webbie surprise across the bugs. Looks like she managed to find some spider mites along the way. Had to biohazard the entire house and all of the plants. She got fed to the pigs because we had to dispose of that bitch ASAP. Been a long morning since we had to do all of the laundry I had to bleach all of the tent it’s a hard lesson to learn. I guess I must’ve gotten lazy keeping everything safe and sanitize between harvest. Lesson learned all around. Thankfully it’s not my first rodeo with these so we got the green cleaner on the way for the rest of the ladies.Been a long sad morning

I’m week behind due to work a lot these days but here’s my girl on day 39 of flower. Starting to fill out more nicely now. Did some minor LST and defoliating as well to open up the canopy a bit. Patiently counting the days down till harvest. A little over 3 weeks left for this girl. One more feeding with nutrients and then every feeding afterwards will be plain water. Till next update ✌️🏾

First week in the new Tent with the new lights. There may have been some shock going on in the beginning of the week as the plants adjusted to the new setup. I am using 2 1000W lights (165W each at the outlet) in a 2 x 4 tent by vivosun. LSD-25: Still by far my favorite. Had a few issues this week. Early on I noticed the leaves were really starting to droop. My watering cycle seems ok, I decided to let them dry out a little more. I then noticed on some spotting on the leaves. after doing some reading I decided to feed all three plants with some herb and vegetable food. It is a 3-4-4 blend. It also has Ca, and Mg. Noticed an immediate change and she picked right back up. There has been some stretching, Nothing major, I did screw up and cut off a flower, or a would be flower. White Widow: My second favorite this grow. Nice bushy plant. However it is not auto flowering, so it will wait its turn and go in the other tent with the other widows. i fed her the 3-4-4 blend as well. Did some defoliation this week, not alot of height, but overall good growth I think for the week. Sleepy Yoda: The slowest of the three. She really picked up this week. I think the PH being so far out in the beginning stunted her pretty bad, but there has been a nice recovery. I fed the 3-4-4 blend and did some defoliation as well as continued LST. I added a time lapse of the days after the feeding. Shows some growth. Going to reposition next week to look more at the LSD-25/

Replanted kids from the cups into organic coco mix. 6g of BioGrow per 1 litre of coco mix, plus I added some mycorrhiza. After replanting watered with Enhancer and Sugar Royal. Пересадил малышек из стаканов в органический кокосовый замес. 6гр BioGrow на литр кокосового субстрата, добавил микоризы. После пересадки пролил Enhancer и Sugar Royal.

✋Wk 8: Time slows down, as buds build and plants are thirsty. 👉One of the best part about growing cannabis, and actually fun plants of any variety, is that the anticipation of the final results seemingly makes time slow down. When I hit 40 it was like I had hit the top of the hill and everyday since then has seemed like it was getting shorter and time was going by much more quickly. I started growing herbs and peppers on the patio a few years ago the race towards the inevitable has seemed to mellow out. A year ago I started growing LEGAL cannabis! I had dreamed of this since I was in college. The risk was too great to get busted for growing even a small plant. Seeing the plants grow a little each day is amazing. Seeing the progress of just one month is amazing. The days seem to take longer as a pleasant side effect of my impatience for the finished product. I have grown lots of different plants, and cannabis is definitely the most magical to watch grow. 👉The 1 gallon is starting to build out its buds. The shape of the plant is amazing, all the secondary branches are almost the same height! The branches are very stout and have grown straight up. I have supports installed and may start by just making a simple hoop around the plant with some soft garden wire to keep them from spreading out. The frost is starting to form on the one gallon buds as well. The frost is extending out onto the leaves. I haven't removed any leaves or larf sites in a couple weeks. The leaves went from big and fat fans to smaller skinny fingers much like you'd expect from a Sativa dominant strain, yet this is an Indica dominant strain. Its making for much better light penetration so minimal larf and fatter colas perhaps. When fertigating it takes a few minutes to be able to get all the sulution to the plant. This is from the density of the roots. Its been soaking up the water and nutrients very well. Towards the end of the week I was getting less run-off and the run-off EC was climbing. I will probably do a good low EC fertigation next week. 👉The 3 gallon is a dense bush. I haven't taken any of the secondary branches. I have taken some interior shaded small branches from the big branches. I have also taken some of the interior leaves that were totally shaded. Ive have also removed almost all the large early growth leaves as they got more in the way of air circulation and access to the media for watering and observation. The main cola is barely indetifiable as the main cola so far. The symetry of the plant is very nice and I hope it stays this way. Its also behind the 1 gallon plant and will finish 2-3 weeks after it. I am guessing 6 more weeks max. Even if its not ready I will have to harvest it 6 weeks form now because I have to go out of town for business for a week. I will take it as far as it can go. The plant is drinking alot and I am giving it as much as 5 liters a day. The run-off has also gone down and as a result the run-off EC has been creeping upwards as well. The coming week I will be giving it a goof low EC fertigation and increase the volume of inflow. My target for inflow EC is mid range on the General Hydroponics Flora Series Drain to waste nutrient schedule. 👉 I have included pix of my fertigation log. The log show tents conditions, inflow stats and run-off stats. Both plants are soaking up the fluids. Both plants are getting the full line of the General Hydroponics Flora series nutrients/supplements and mixed full strength in RO water from an industrial RO water machine. This week I increased the amount of Cali-magic about 25%. There are some purple stems around and want to keep it from becoming a leaf issue if its form a slight lack of Ca/Mg. Next week I will continue the higher level of Calmag and also will do at least one low EC fertigation. When I do a low EC fertigation I only have Armor Si and Calimagic in the solution. I will follow the low EC event with a small dose of regular nutrient solution. 👉I am sure that the way I am doing this diary is probably pointless in terms of interest to others. I am doing it in the spirit of a true diary and for my own personal use as a record. I am trying to make it understandable and comprehensive for others. I'm sure that is folly in the long run but I do enjoy being able to review my work in a comprehensive way.
