Talked to a friend and I think the problem is the water's EC. I've been watering with mineral water low in minerals so I'll water with tap water for the following weeks until harvest. Other than that, plants are smelling great and producing a lot of resin, I'm eager to try them. For those planning on growing this strain, I definitely recommend topping because they get super bushy.

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

Ztrawberriez growing fast ⏩ Nice easy week with a thunderstorm👍 Time for ztrawberriez to get her first dose of nutirent ... Bloom a bloom b 1ml each per litter.

I think they're budding a bit slowly this week but I did do a heavy defoliation at the start so may have stressed them a little. They have finally finished stretching also. Theyve gotten bigger than I expected lol.. I'm seeing thc now and they are starting to smell nice. EC increased to 1.4 this week Ppfd increased 610 to 700 by the end of the week . Will leave it at 700 now until the end . Don't want them to be stressed .

New grower, always looking to improve. Continuous drip, expanded clay system with an 80L reservoir. Nutrients mixed to a 40L ratio. (Half strength) Recovering from accidentally leaving the drip feed for about 18 hours, and then nutrient locking the clones the previous week.

Buds starting to get really fat and frosty. One of the blueberries have a distinct smell of sweet berries. Too bad its an auto or i would have monster cropped it (clone). Looks like i will get a descent and potent yield.

Hello, enfin je peux faire le dernier update. Nous voici à un peu plus de 15jours de séchage,,, la manucure est faite, Je ne suis pas déçu du résultat final, même si il reste encore plein de choses à améliorer,,, Hâte de relancer un nouveau cycle, pour tenter d’atteindre d’autres objectifs... plus de 500gr/m2🙏

Ich habe den Mikrobees auf das Doppelte erhöht und das Licht auf 60% gesteigert. Der Abstand zum Licht betrug weiterhin etwa 40 cm. Nach zwei Wochen konnte ich bereits den Duft von Cannabis riechen. Während die F1-Samen ein unglaublich schnelles Wachstum zeigten, zeigt der billige Samen Apple Flitter, wie zu sehen, ein sehr langsames Wachstum. ミクロベースを2倍に増やし、ライトも60%に上げました。ライトとの距離は引き続き約40cmを維持しました 2週目に入ると、すでに大麻の香りを感じることができました。F1の種は驚くほど速い成長速度を示したのに対し、やはり安い種のApple flitterはご覧の通り非常に遅い成長を示しています。

I'm a few days late on updating this diary as well as feeding my girls (well, just a couple days late on feeding) and the weather is not helping! It's 48F and drizzling out, which is prime conditions for mold production😒 but there's not much I can do about it at the moment. So I did include a video this week to give a better look at the girls (And please ignore me saying Amy aka CBD Gorilla is a late September finisher.. It's actually mid-October, I can't keep anything straight) Jojo is still the runt of the litter, Amy is catching up to her big sisters and Bubba and Ice Cool are still the stars of the show. Nice colas plumping up and soon to be ready👏 I'm excited!

The photos are always from the last day of the week, this is the 35th day since the switch to 12/12

Go to 12/12

🌱 Week 24 Update (Early Flower / Flip Week) Everything is looking real good this week 🙌🔥. The flip is officially underway, and both ladies are responding exactly how you want during early flower.Red Hot Violet is stretching just right — not too crazy, but enough to tell she’s gearing up for some thick bud sites 💜🌱. Her structure from veg is paying off now.Amaretto Sour is holding strong, still pushing that lemon-blueberry aroma 🍋

couple more weeks and shes ready for harvest.

Everything seemed to gain in height, pineapple is starting to flower, smoothie is really taking off with sweet gelato about week into flower

привет всем, вот еще одна неделька пролетела очень быстро, растиха выпила воды 3.5 литра воды за неделю, на этой неделе добавил PK13-14_ надеюсь продолжение роста будет хорошое... скажите свое мнение по поводу цеветов, нормальные они на этот период или нужно что то изменить

What's up growmies🤟🏽. Week 3 on deck 🙌🏾🙌🏾. Everything is smooth sailing. I lst'd 4 of them today and I'm letting 2 grow natural ( for now). I have them on a 1.5 liters every 3 days watering schedule. They appear to be healthy and thriving. Until next week, happy growing my friends and may the plant goddesses bless you with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

Busy trimming all week long :) Not much to add.
