58 Days have passed in flower. Cheese left, Gorilla Girl right. The "Just water no pH" experiment has failed me around week 5 of flower. I have not done anything to keep the soil biology alive so thats probably the issue. Its all good though, it was fun while it lasted and definitely worth a try. I have let the soil dry as much as possible and then i watered in a tablespoon molasses per gallon water. pH'd to 6.6. I just need atleast 3-7 more days of flower and hopefuly the buds will mature a little more. I took a snip of the bottom leafs to check for trichomes maturity, those are the weakest of trichomes on the plants. ---1st time growing with FLO - Florian Living Organics.--- They claim that there is no need to pH when watering and that their living fertilizer is the only thing that i will need throughout the whole grow so i only need to mix with soil and just water with plain water. If this stuff works then it can simplify my future grows ALOT! Happy growing. 😎

Attempted some LST training to expose nodes to sunlight and to trigger more growth below growth tip. I think she needs a bit more nutrients.

I had to invite a friend to give them a squeeze, to ensure there's more than 1 party to this fish tale lmao 😹..long story short the tent is a mess, we staked a few the best we could and made a few mains comfortable to finish on their side..we don't plan to move them until they're finished.. the next run in this tent will have to be aesthetically pleasing to make up for this hideous finish..*balance*..all plants are fading fast after cutting their feed, we're doing water only and they should be fully washed out come harvest ❤️..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone!!💡🌱 😽💨 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZjRQlDaBvM ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_ 10/12/21 Buds are swelling and the crystals are really piling on, however the tent is a mess lol...I'm really looking forward to harvesting these plant... trichs are still mostly clear, we definitely have some time left

Week 13 - a cute visitor! We've had strong winds, so I made a little support net with some hemp string. Tbh, I just went with my inuition: knots here and there and strong support. Let's hope this will do the trick. Temps are lower this week but humidity is up. Sun keeps shining. This should be a good harvest. Another 10cm growth spurt. That's more than 1cm per day. I should hear her grow at this speed. Also, the leaves on this one. She really means business. It's almost a full time job to keep her in check. But I'm only here on weekends and I think she likes that. 5 days of undisturbed growth until it's time for a little leaf shedding. She's doing and looking great. I found a tiny critter enjoying some leaves, luckily my cats keep them at bay, so no damage.

This week has yielded positive results from the FIM And LST. I topped the internodal new branching that grew from the FIM job as well this week and the 2 extra tops are growing in response on each branching. She is now under a 4 bulb vivosun T5 6500K fixture and is responding very well to the light changes. Her stems are begging to give off terpines when rubbed. She smells of tart sweet lemons and diesel fuel haha. I am very happy about this grow and am expecting preflower to begin soon.

All caught up with the old diaries and can finally start focusing on the new grow... and it´s been smooth sailing so far! 😎 Waiting on a few supplies to make some upgrades to the ventilation of the tent, but nothing critical.. 😉 Lights at 30% for 24h until cotyledons opened and switched to 18h/6h reducing the distance from 100 to 80 cm. 😊 Weather is changing... temps are fine but I´m keeping an eye on humidity levels, turning the humidifier on and off according with the light schedule to stabilize it at 70%. Averaging for the week 22,6ºC and 69,7% 😍 Lets go! ✊

Полёт в штатном режиме, к концу второй недели сделал пересадку растений в горшки по 12,5л.(можно было на пару дней позже, но и так пойдет). В процессе использовал средство Jellyfish Plant Success, которое попало ко мне практически случайно, и вот тут не обошлось без сюрпризов можно сказать в прямом эфире - после полива смесью нелицеприятного вида(внутри кокоса и на корни я тоже обильно посыпал) буквально прямо на глазах на поверхности кокоса начали формироваться желеобразные сгустки по типу гидрогеля, размером с горох(см. видео). Поначалу я даже не знал, как реагировать, настолько это было неожиданно.😵 Здравый смысл да и само название(!) продукта подсказывали, что так и должно быть 😐, вот серьёзно, как-будто большую медузу бросили в миксер, а затем высыпали мне на субстрат. Подозреваю, что внутри субстрата творилось то же самое. Прошли сутки, комочков желе стало меньше, но растворились не все. Теперь я уже вижу, что с растихами всё в порядке, значит всё так и было задумано 😇 Если и дальше всё пойдет по плану - в конце недели будем резать, заходите посмотреть. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

The little giant was probably fine . . . __ Sun Mar 10, 2024 IRIE1Q24 33:V:4:5  KEY Problems were the back flow protector on the Little Giant that reduced flow 1PSI, and flow restrictor on Xeribird8 for 10x the pressure of our little system. We’re lucky to have a couple of PSI at the emitters. That said - we produced ~1.5 gallons of runoff yesterday. To maintain runoff (but less than 1 GAL!), I’ve HALVED delivery times. Goal is to reduce runoff to ~10% of estimated delivery … Current Fertigation Run: 5 min Duration, 4 times in 11 hours.   We’ll FLIP on Week Change - give a couple of days for root development, some more height. We need to - [ ] Would like to grow to middle bar of tent BEFORE topping. - [ ] VERIFY ROOT POPULATION AT BOTTOM OF CONTAINERS BEFORE FLIP.

All 3 plants cut and just Ozz remaining to dry and trim. Terrible outcome for #4 as I had to throw more than half of the plant away due to bud rots. I’m still really confused about what happened: the day before harvest I noticed and removed 3 bud rots from the plant - so far so good. All remaining buds were fine, but when trimming I realised every single top was maroon-ish at the base and I could clearly see a start of mold when opening some of them. Although I could clearly confirm what it was with a 30x lens, the white spots were extremely scarce and small (less than 1x1mm each time). It doesn’t seem really coherent with how it should have spread. Nonetheless, I didn’t take risk and threw away any bud where I could identify white mold with the lens, and put aside the ones where I had a doubt in pop corns (the “7g maybe”, cf below) to track the evolution. A quick summary of the harvest so far, will edit when I have some time: - Dorel: 250g wet, 37g dry / 17g trim (54g total) - #4: 450g wet, 33g dry / 7g maybe / 29g trim (62-69g total) + a lot thrown away due to bud rots - Ozz: only weighted the two bigger canopie I cut, 162g+142g≈300g wet. It represents around half of the whole plant (probably less, but stem included), so around 5-600g wet total.

This week was a real breeze! She's gaining a ton of weight on the bud sites and she's really growing nicely! She's starting to bud around the flowering sites and really finishing nicely. The formation of bracks and the formation of the buds is my favorite part because that's when you get to see somewhat of the final picture and the time the flower is most colorful! Now the second best part is harvesting the flower for smoking which will be occuring soon! The smell on these girls is very invigorating!! She's putting out a smell of a Apple Tart! You can smell the Apple Strudel right away when you open up the tent! I can't believe how big she's got and how beautiful they are coming along! I have to say that this is one of my favorites to grow and my favorite smelling strain! I also love the way the flowers are stacking on the colas!!! The frost on top of the cola leaves is insane! During the day I drop the humidity down to 45-50% and then at night I raise the humidity up to 60-65% which helps a ton with flower promotion during the flowering stage! Also, I raise the temperature during the day to 80° and at night I lower the temperature to 55°-60° which helps mimic the autumn temperatures that aids a ton in flower production in the flowering stage!!! I'll be stopping the two Apple Strudel Auto's from receiving any synthetic nutrients soon and flushing them once harvest is closer. It will be within the next two weeks or so! I do that because they'll stop taking nutrients in and start to self canabulize as a normal (ending) part of plant life. Then I'll give the two ladies plain pH balanced H20 for the next 2 weeks to flush any and all nutrients out of them. Then three days of darkness. Finally I'll chop them down to hang in my harvesting closet for 7-14 days with a dehumidifier on at 65% humidity. Then I'll place the flower into the trimmer and then into the grove bags for the last step in harvesting! The grove bags will keep the flower at 58-62% humidity. They also help keep the flower fresh longer, the Terpenes fresh, the Terpenes flavors, and from becoming moldy or dried out! I've used both these and the mason jars with boveda humidity packs but to me the grove bags are a must and a go to fail safe!!! All you do is hang your buds upside down at 60/60 or 65/60 for 7-10 days or until the braches snap and make that noise. Thanks and as always stay safe, stay high, and stay blessed!

F36, desde los últimos 3 riegos, empecé a regar día por medio, con la idea que que engorden más en esta etapa, esperando no sobre fertilizar, también agregue melaza en el último riego, el cuál fue de EC 2.2 y pH 6.4. En cuanto a tricomas/resina las plantas están espectaculares, el olor también es impresionante.

Purple Punch and Frosty Gelato will be harvested next week. Very hot in the tent and also it is not in my house. Summer time. Hard to look after them this way it can be seen. No problem. Next time. Still love them :) A.lot of burnt leaves removed from them every week because of heat. I can not change now I need to go this way. Starnge: Wedding Cheescake is crazy other plants are suffering because of the environmental issues she is acting like this is the best environment. Leaves hardly burn and she grows as fuck. All of them in the same environment.... Hmm.

We noticed this week that she's growing much faster and the side branches too. See the difference between the pictures April 18th - Topping view and April 20th- Topping view, and how much the side branches had grown. Other than that, it was a week without major events :) Sorry again for the pictures under the grow light.
