Did some defoilation today just trying to make sure not to remove much. I discontinued using the Amino acids now since it's the last few weeks before harvest. This was my last 2 waterings/feedings. 8/19/22 Bruce Banner watered with 1 gallon ph'ed water to 5.2. Runoff was 6.1ph, 345ppm, .7ec Mixed 5ml cal mag, 9ml flora nova bloom, 3.5ml amino acids, 6ml fish shit, 1/2 tsp great white Nutes were 6.0ph, 1384ppm and the ec was 1.5 8/21/22 Bruce watered with 1 gallon. Runoff was 6.6ph, .9ec and 450 ppm. Mixed 5ml cal-mag, 10ml flora nova bloom, fish shit and great white. Feeding mixture was 4.8ph, 1427ppm, 2.8ec. Runoff was 6.2ph, 1.4ec, 683ppm

April 26, 2024 Day 71 This week we focus on watering and nutrients. A secondary focus will be on a changing environment and light intensity changes. Both ladies had their reservoirs cleaned out and have fresh nutrients. It's also the start of late flower, so things will be changing with the nutrient dosage. I'll most likely keep the nutrients the same for this week, but I may start to drop the dosage a little for each watering until the flush period starts. So depending on how they look, I may change the dosage for this week's last watering. I'll be bringing it down 25%. So 8 ml goes down to 6 ml and 4 ml goes down to 3 ml. I'll change this for the next 2 weeks until it's just plain water for 2 waterings and then Flawless Finish. It should play out quite well. The lighting will also be changing a bit this week. I'll be dropping the DLI to 43 mol/m²/d mid week and will then lower it to 40 mol/m²/d beginning next week. I'll then drop it to 36 mol/m²/d the week after and finally 32 mol/m²/d for the final week. The environment will also be dropped from 77° to 75° during the day and from 68° to 65° at night. The humidity is solid at 47% and I think that's the best I can do for the rest of the grow. Both plants look great. They have tons of orange pistils and tons of trichomes. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One for each plant. I feel like it'll be a better comparison than daily pics. For the trichomes anyway. Anyway, they both still have time to swell their buds more. I'm not expecting big buds from these two. Medium sized maybe, but definitely not big. They just don't look like they will get that big. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Almost all of the pistils are orange now on both plants, but the buds are still swelling. Interesting. I'll be taking trichome pics today at some point. I was going to yesterday, but got distracted with video games. Whoops. There's tons of trichomes. They are definitely frosty and continuing to get frostier. Nothing much to do today. Each plant got an inspection and passed with flying colors. There were some loose tie downs as well. Mostly from the crowding in the tent. So those got removed. Tropicana Cookies is looking super good now with her buds being everywhere and them swelling up finally. She could stand to get a few leaves taken off, but I'd rather just leave it alone now. No sense in undue stress. Tropicana C also looks great. She has to be the biggest of the two. Not the tallest, but definitely the most girthy. Lots of buds and also starting to finally swell up. I'd also like to mention the colors coming from both plants where the buds are nearly done. Lots of purple hues. You can't really see them from the small sugar leaves and frost covering it. But it's there. The lighting as I said will stay the same for the first half of this week. Then I'll drop it. However, I may leave it to next week. We shall see. The environment is looking pretty good. The temp is a bit high currently at 77.8°. the humidity is still at 47%, but I managed to get it down to 44% for most of yesterday afternoon. The DLI is a bit high today at 1.66 kPa. Nothing a small adjustment won't fix. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.5° RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I'll be refilling the reservoirs later this afternoon. That's about it. I have a bit of a concern. Both ladies have really small buds, and I think they may have stopped swelling. I'm wondering if I have nutrient lockout or something. They are showing signs of stress. So I've already started dropping the nutrients down by cutting Overdrive in half as it seemed to have been the original cause of the nutrient burn. And the next watering will have all nutrients cut in half. Next week I'll drop it to 25% and leave it til flush, which may be next week anyway. We shall see. Other than that, both plants are covered in trichomes. They smell wonderful as well. Like orange and some other light citrus and gas. Smells super good as well as sweet. There is also a hint of cookies. The DLI will be dropped to 40 mol/m²/d tomorrow. I'm assuming it will only be a 10% drop on power, so I shouldn't lose much penetration. The environment is off today. It's warm and super humid with bouts of rain. So naturally, the tent environment is all wonky. The temp is at 75.5° with the humidity way up at 60%. I turned the AC on and now it's just a matter of tweaking and waiting. I may have to crank it and sacrifice some temp for lower humidity. It should be fine that way, but the humidity is definitely too high. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. The plants are both still going through the half gallon of plain water from yesterday. Let's hope it clears up the nutrient burn. They look great with their trichome coverage. The only thing I'm pretty disappointed about is the size of the buds for both plants. I wonder what I did wrong. I'm guessing the introduction to Overdrive was about 2 weeks too early. Removing the Big Bud was also a major mistake I think. It should have stayed in the mix for 2 more weeks. Lesson learned, make adjustments to any feeding schedule to match the plants growth stage. Maybe I'll ask that question. The lighting was changed today. I dropped the power level down to 70% to get a DLI of 40 mol/m²/d. It's not perfect as the plants do not have level canopies, so some of the spots go all the way up to 45 mol/m²/d still. It's not a bad thing I think. The DLI was a bit high for those tops anyway. The environment is still wonky. The temp is fine at 76° to 77°. A bit high from what I want, but not out of range. I'd still like it down to 75° or 74°. The humidity is what's out of whack at 60% and it doesn't seem to want to drop. I have a heater on to clear out the room humidity and a dehumidifier in the tent working it's hardest. Which isn't very hard. I believe the fans are going on it. It may be time for another one. Something the same size but more powerful. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. Both ladies got their full gallon of nutrients. I'm going to cut it when it drains down some with plain water. Both plants look good even though they have small buds. They are everywhere and seem pretty dense. So it's just a matter of time. Maybe another 2 weeks. Maybe less. Hopefully less. The nutrient burn was an issue, but now I think it's good. I dropped the Overdrive significantly, but I think I can plainly say, I have ruined my yield for these two plants. Lesson learned. Plain water at the first signs of stress. The scent is super strong now and smells like oranges and candy. Or something like that. All I know is that it smells great. The lighting is pretty good. No reaching yet, so it's definitely not too low. I may just leave it here for the rest of the grow. I read that lights don't need to be dimmed for autoflowers. It could be right. I've never dimmed the lights before. We shall see I guess. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being high still at 57%. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity will not budge. I'll keep trying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Nothing to do today with these two. No watering needed, no light changes, nothing. I pulled them out, tooky pictures and checked them over. No issues pest or fungus or anything. The only issue I have is the nutrient burn. Some of the leaves are getting yellow spots on them and frankly I have no idea what to do here. Keep the nutrients the same? Cut the nutrients down some over the next week or 2? Go with plain water? Not too sure. I still see many stresses. And I think that is the cause of my tiny buds. It seems that I did take the Big Bud out too early and added the Overdrive way too soon. Oops. Lesson learned with this run. I don't think it's a matter of an over abundance of nutrients, but the wrong ones at the wrong time when the plants weren't ready for it. I'm guessing that's what has happened here. Both ladies smell fantastic. Super sweet and strong. Crisp, and not pungent. Refreshing even. Tropicana Cookies has some pretty hard buds and lots of them. Of course, larger buds are preferred, but as long as these come out fire, I'll be happy. Her branches also seem to be holding up nicely. Tropicana C on the other hand has weaker branches and the tallest top is starting to lean pretty heavily. A great sign for bud density. Both plants have phenomenal trichome production. It's getting better everyday. Tons of clear with a mix of cloudy and amber, definitely not ready yet, but soon I think. Very soon. Maybe another week and a half? Maybe 2. As I said before, I didn't change the lighting at all. It's current DLI is 40 mol/m²/d through most of the central canopy. The outside of the canopy is roughly 38 mol/m²/d. So it's all good now. The environment is still wonky with the humidity being at 59%. It's maddening. The room is 49% and the temp is fine at 75°. I'll sacrifice up to 77° if I can get the humidity around 50%. Not ideal for this stage in life, but it will have to do of I can even get it there. I do have a large dehumidifier, but it doesn't work right. When the compressor shuts off, it blows are that humid air right back into the room. I need a new one. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering, no trimming, nothing. I did change the light last night to 80% power. Tropicana Cookies looks great! She has purple coming out all over her buds. No fade yet though. I can assume that will be coming through in the next week or so. Her tops buds are getting slightly fatter and heavier than before. I hope it will continue to do so over the next 2 weeks. Tropicana C is slightly behind. She doesn't have nearly as many orange pistils and the purple is just starting to come through. However, she has tons of trichomes covering everything top to bottom. Her buds are about the same size as her sister, so they may end up swelling bigger than Tropicana Cookies when all is said and done. We shall see. As I said earlier in today's post, I changed the light power from 70% back up to 80%. I think I dropped it too early and need to adjust it accordingly. I'll drop it again in a week or so. Maybe less. Now the DLI is at 43 mol/m²/d inside and 40 mol/m²/d on the outside. The environment is still off, but not as much. The humidity continues to be high, but only at 55% verses the 60% it's been stuck at for the last few days. The temp is fine at 74.5°, but I think I can increase that a bit and hopefully drop the humidity down in turn. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa

Verrückte Woche! Woche 9 wollte die Sonne nicht so richtig raus, dafür war von leichtem Nieselregen bis Hagel alles dabei. Nur scheiße hat es nicht geregnet. Die Sonne kam erst die letzten beiden Tage wieder raus. Der erste Tag der Woche D58/37F begann direkt mit ordentlich Regen und fettem Hagel. Man konnte halt nur zuschauen und hoffen das die Ladys es halbwegs gut überstehen. Der extreme Regen mit Hagel war nur für 10-15 min, hat aber etwas an Schaden an den Blättern angerichtet. Am meisten hat die GorillaZkittlez gelitten. Dadurch das sie schon ziemlich fertig ist, sind auch die Blätter nicht mehr so elastisch und brechen leichter. Sonst haben die ladys das erste Unwetter in dieser Woche überstanden. Direkt am nächsten Tag D59/38F hab ich mich gewundert was da unten an dem Blatt hängt. Es waren ein Haufen voll Wanzeneiern... das Blatt und die die zu zerstört vom Hagel waren wurden entfernt. Bis auf das die Blätter hier und da ein paar kleine Punkte von dem Hagel haben, sehen die Ladys gesund aus. An Tag 61/40F war der nächste große Regen. Hier war ich einfach nur dankbar das es nicht nochmal gehagelt hat🤣 trotzdem kacke. Es war sehr viel Regen. Nächsten Tag D62/41F war der erste Tag ohne Regen und die Sonne kam auch wieder raus. Es gab eine kleine Kontrolle der Ladys nach den Tagen voller Unwetter. Ich hatte bei der GorillaZkittlez einen braunen auffälligen Punkt entdeckt. Wer hätte es gedacht nach dem ganzen Regen... ein Bud hatte leider Schimmelbildung. Der wurde großzügig entfernt. Ein zwei andere Stellen die verdächtig aussahen wurden zur Sicherheit rausgeschnitten. Bei der StrawberryBanana hatte ich nur die Spitze von einem Bud abgeschnitten der verdächtig aussah und 2-3 Blätter die Ansätze von Mehltau hatten. Die GorillaAuto ist ein entspannter Mitläufer. Kein Stress mit Schimmel oder Mehltau. An Tag 63/42F gab es das erste Mal wieder Wasser aus der Gießkanne. Als Zusätze gab es 4g BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 4ml PowerBuds, 1ml GreenSensation von Plagron, 6ml BioBloom von BioBizz, 8ml StickyFingers von XpertNutrients auf 4L Wasser. Das ganze auf ph 6.8 Jede Lady hat unterschiedlich viel bekommen. Ich hab nach Gewicht der Töpfe gegossen. Die einzige die nichts bekommen hat, ist die GorillaZkittlez. Ich denke das die gute in den nächsten Tagen geerntet wird und in die Trocknung geht bevor sie auf der Zielgeraden nochmal in den Regen kommt. Für die nächsten Tage ist kein Regen vorausgesagt. Wenn das so ist wird sie denke ich in zwei Tagen zum trocknen gehängt💚 Die StrawberryBanana wird denke ich in ca zwei Wochen in die Trocknung und danach die GorillaAuto. Die Ladys sollen sich die Zeit nehmen die sie brauchen💪🏻 Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen 💚🤙🏻

This week we should really see these colas blow up and start stacking really strong. The mixer of 7 hours of sun and 17 hours under my LEDs has really helped my girls grow strong. Nothing compares to good old Mother Nature.

Yoooo! Welcome back 🙌🏼 Just a quick update for week 7 of flower. Plants looking incredible. Zkittlez is really packing on the frost now and starting to develop some lovely colours. The Runtz seems to be continually packing on size and developing - most of the trichs are still clear but I’m seeing cloudy and a few amber ones here and there, so I’m looking to get the flush going in a few days time. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers 🤟🏻

The flower keeps on growing! I am excited for the next days. Today was the first day to use some nutrients in my water. I used Biobizz Grow, Bloom and Top Max like advised from Biobizz for Light Mix. I wonder if I should start to remove some of the bigger leafs… any recommendations from you guys? I am counting like at least 15 branches that are all on the same height… awesome!! What an even canopy. Some of the branches are on one side a bit lower though. Happy new year guys!! I just put in the net. I never used one before, as I only have outdoor experience. I am trying to bend down some of the higher branches with the net. Let’s see if it works out. Plant looked very good. But after I used the nutrients the plant looked a little bit more sad :( … maybe also nutrient lockout, because I have quite a big pot and usually with smaller pots I always watered the plant until the water ran out of it on the bottom.

Starting to think if I didn't stunt pheno 3 initially, how much more beautiful this plant would be. It was the runt due to nute burn as a seedling. It has now become my favorite plant of the 3. It has beautiful structure, and the fan leaves are almost triple the size of the other 2. Pheno 1 is showing signs of preflower.. stretchy girl showing her indica traits. Pheno 2 has seemed to back off on the vertical growth, reminds me of pheno 3 but with not quite as good genetics. Beautiful plant though 👌 Pheno 3 would be the plant you clone of the 3 if this were a photo run. I'm curious to see how she turns out.

11/26/24 11/27/24 this plant is blowing all expectations. this was the least promising looking pheno. these buds are so fucking dense. the trichomes are visibily standing ontop of the buds. the plant is 75% bud with 15% stem and 10% leaf. she is visibly fattening daily. i cant get over how hard these buds are though. the nodes are all growing into eachother and turning into long fat colas. absolutely beautiful genetics and im excited to see what the other phenos

Para el lavado de raíz le agregue en total 60L de agua y utilicé Flawless Finish para barrer cualquier residuo que le quede. En total en humedo tengo 127g de una sola planta. Su olor es muy fuerte y se siente lo citrico. En estos momentos se encuentran en curado, la corte hace 7 dias aproximadamente. Se ven muy bien, estan super pegajosos y muy lindos. Nunca había cultivado una AK-47, muy linda planta y muy conforme con resultados obtenidos. Gracias al banco de semillas Seeds Mafia.
