Week 4 for the sugar bombs 😁 another 4 or 5 weeks to go (depending on the phenotype) but we will notice when she's ready in the later flowering, for the rest everything is going quite good in my opinion, for now i must say that its a quite stable strain, no signs of nanners or any other trouble after applied HST which is good news!

DAY 28 flowering: Hi all Hope we are all fine and dandy in the grow diaries world this week. It has been a steady week this week with the ladies now focusing purely on bud site development . The only lady not really thriving is the smaller Mexican airline #1. It does seem she will be all plant and very little yield at this point but we will see it through. She isn't poor by any means but I do think she will have a inferiority complex within these beauties. Heehee Thankfully the other five ladies are powering on and producing some potential big bud sites. The stars of the grow are the Strawberry pie girls. These plants are huge and very, very productive . The lowers are developing some nice bud sites that in themselves look like beasts developing. They have really dense looking flowers that will no doubt become thick and possibly need some support on the side growth but seeing the stem strengths , they may be ahead of that issue themselves already. A perfect strain for an outside run for sure and with no training beside the tip spreading , they have easily now reached approx 4ft tall. The buds start really low on each limb with some node spacing initially large but the growing tips and main stem have a more stacked up bud appearance forming. I think they could possibly top my personal best for the autos at this rate. Both have about the same structure and bud building so I would hazard the same phenotype too. This is the second time I have grown this strain and the last one was very similar too. Very stable and should give some top notch nugs out. Six Shooter #1 is only slightly smaller than the Strawberry pie and has just as many productive side branches that want to show off too. Her sibling #2 was grown a lot flatter after the tip spreading and seems lost down low in the canopy now. She has a lot of buds tucked away but could easily be overgrown by the mexican#2 and Strawberry Pie #2 , if I am not pro active with her progress. As mentioned earlier, the Mexican airlines are both healthy and happy but the #2 is far more productive than the #1 . I do expect that the #1 will harvest a little after the others and that she may come through in the end. Overall these strains are genetic perfection this run . They have done their own thing with only the tip spreading being my intervention initially , and they have produced 6 perfect looking plants that are clearly different strains . From past experiences with these 3 strains , "The best is yet to come " with the development of their unique looking buds. Here comes some down and dirty bud porn only viewable to the faithful.!!! Be lucky all , catch you soon

She supposed to take 8 to 9 weeks but I was playing with my microscope and just decided to look at her trikes and OMG is she ripe. I started a ro water flush as quick as I could. I let her flush out for three or four days and then harvested her.

The Apple Betty girls have performed very well this week! The LST began, and there was some great growth in side branching. I also started this week off with introducing them to some nutrients ❤️ Start of week 4, the girls had responded well to transplanting, so I decided to start with some LST. My main method is to use soft wire wraps (dollar store purchase!) I poke one hole in the side of the pot near the top, and then go directly opposite that hole and poke through to make another. The first hole is for a wire wrap to secure the base of the seedling from pulling right out or over too far. The other hole is for the direction you want to bend your plant to. I start by slowly working the stem between my fingers at the point where I want it to bend. Twisting and pinching slowly so not to snap. *wait a day or two after your last water, or it will be easier to snap* once it’s ready to flop, I use the wire tie to hold down the top of the plant as close as I can to the nearest shoots. I’ll usually leave the plant like this for a couple of days, adjusting the ties, and then take them off to let them recover . Watered with a small dose of the full line of Advanced Nutrients I will be using for this grow. The girls got about 500 ml at the beginning of the week, but 2 days in I could tell they wanted more. By the end of the week they are taking nearly 1/2 gallon (which will give me 10% runoff) At the end of the week I increased the intensity of the BP2500 to 190 watts at the wall and the girls did show a few wrinkles as they adjusted, but have quickly recovered. I haven’t topped these girls, and I’m not sure if I am going to… thoughts? Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

DankieDoodle 📅 Vegetative – Week 3, Days 1–7 ✂️ Topping & Transition Week This week marked an important step in shaping the structure all three girls, Pure Runtz (T.H.Seeds), Strawberry Poprocks (Anesia Seeds), and Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds), were topped cleanly above the 4th node to begin forming their SCROG-ready main frame. All cuts healed fast, and the plants responded perfectly zero stress, vibrant color, and compact, even growth. 💧 Watering & Feeding Day 1: Each plant received 1 L of water, following the regular schedule. Absorption was perfect no runoff, great structure, and a healthy, active root zone. Water Mix: RootJuice — 1 ml/L Biobizz Heaven — 2 ml/L Epsom Salt — 0.15 g/L pH — natural (7.4 tap water) 💡 Environment: Temp: 25 °C RH: 68–70 % PPFD: ~550 µmol/m²/s (Mars Hydro FC4000 EVO @ 50 %) Cycle: 18/6 VPD: ~1.0 kPa 🌿 Midweek (Day 4) All three plants were watered again with 1 L each, using the same nutrient mix. Substrate dried evenly, roots are expanding rapidly, and all three show symmetrical, low-stress growth. 🌞 End of Week (Day 7) By Day 7, the pots were drying out completely after only two days a clear sign of a well-developed root system. The Autopots were activated today to let the plants get used to consistent moisture levels before the next growth stage. 🚀 Radical Juice (Ripper Seeds) Note: Between Day 5 and Day 7, she showed explosive vertical growth, pushing herself right into 650 µmol/m²/s PPFD resulting in slight tip burn on the top leaves. Nothing serious, just a light stress mark from her incredible vigor. The light intensity has since been adjusted down to 550 µmol/m²/s for all plants to maintain perfect balance and canopy health. 🌱 Summary: Structure after topping looks perfect four strong mains on each. All three cultivars are balanced, compact, and healthy. Radical Juice shows top-tier growth potential; all plants are ready for the next phase. A clean and productive week steady growth, solid recovery, and the Autopots now active to keep the rhythm flowing. Next step: another topping and the first round of gentle LST to open up the canopy evenly 🌿✨

3/8 (0745): CP weedlings look super happy. Can see the next node starting to develop between the fan leaves! HK and 710 germinating away. 3/8 (1600): Horticultural charcoal was delivered yesterday so I did a little top dress on the seedlings. Gave a light watering too. 3/9 (0730): Second node is coming in quick! Seeds still germinating but expecting to see green tonight or tomorrow AM. 3/9 (2230): CP growing strong, expect the second set of leaves by EOD tomorrow. HK and 710 broke soil over the course of the evening and will be upright by tomorrow morning! Learned from some key mistakes: didn’t water as much, planted the seed deeper so the shell would come off. Feeling good!! 3/10 (1200): HK and 710 seedlings are making their way up today! Had to help the 710 out of the inner seed coating, which was holding the cotyledons together. Both seedlings are open and getting sunlight, everyone's very happy. Both CPs are growing their second node quickly. 3/10 (2245): watered CPs. PH 6.4 going in and 7.1 coming out. Have been misting the HK/710 as needed. 3/12 (0900): watered/misted all. PH. 6.2 going in and 6.4 coming out. Much better. CPs are filling out their 3-bangers and have the start of growth for the fives. Ordered some smart plugs yesterday in the hopes of automating environment control a little.

Esta primera semana se germinó y se plantó la semilla en el sustrato y el despunte de la planta. Semana tranquila, no hubo percances y germinó bien. La germinacion duró 3 días y al día siguiente de haberla puesto en sustrato salió a la superficie.

Week 6 and we are reaching for the skies! LOL...it's a good thing but also bad...as she is starting to get light burn on the top main cola...my light is the highest it can be so I'm hoping that the Fox Farms Nutrient, Open Sesame, stops the stretch and focuses more on bud development. She will get fed on Friday! I absolutely love watching my Runtz grow, I want massive trees in my tent now...I used to go crazy with the LST during veg weeks 4-5 and introduced open sesame earlier because I never wanted tall plants before...my first grow had tons of light burn and my tent is tiny!!! Just a little 2 x 4......but now I am steering that way...I just think the tent looks more beautiful....tall lengthy trees as opposed to short stumpers which is what I have been growing from the start :P Went in with some more LST...at week 6 is usually when I try to go minimal on the manipulation but with how lanky she is...I think there's more room for some surprise colas to make an appearance! Also, I took the SCROG netting out...I want more experience with growing before I start messing with new growing techniques..if you made it this far into reading wow congrats! LOL and Happy Valentine's Day....it's a day about love...loving yourself, your family, your pets, and of course your PLANTS!
