The Apple Betty babies had some good growth this week. Days 14-21. The girls have been dialed in at about 63-65% RH and 76-79 degrees F. On day 18 I dialed up my BP2500 to about 165 watts at the wall, and kept my small tent heater in place for the time being, nights have gotten cooler. The girls seem to be ❤️ the extra light, without causing any harm. Switched from distilled water to tap water that has been dechlorinated for 24 hours mid way through the week, no issues shown. Added 1 ml of Micro, and 1 ml of Cal/Mag to 1/2 gallon of water, PH’d to 6.2 and watered approx. 1/2cup of water per x2 throughout the week, and about 1 cup once transplanted. On day 19 they were all looking so healthy, with some roots coming from the bottom of my starter pots, I decided to transplant into 2 gallon nursery pots. My final pot will be a mix of 5 and 7 gallon fabric pots. Next week the LST begins! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

[This is a beginner's journey to grow a Blue Dream plant outdoors, from seed, for the very first time. I added 3 clones in week 7, and I will include their progress, but each week this journey will feature Foster, the Blue Dream. Thanks for joining me as I learn to grow outdoor cannabis in the beautiful Willamette Valley.] Foster is doing very well this week. At the recommendation of my local organics shop, I've switched my nutrients from Fox Farms (Big Bloom & Grow Big) over to GreenGro's Nature's Pride veg nutrients (info here: http://www.thegreengro.com/product/veg-6-3-3-5/). It's a powder, and I'm feeding 14ml/gal (or, since she's in a 45 gallon pot, 630ml) as a top dressing once/week. I really like the nutrients--it includes mycorrhizae. I will also add a microbial compost tea next Friday at feeding. The Nature's Pride nutrients are a bit more expensive than the Fox Farm nutrients I was working with, but the folks at my organics shop have the plant science background, and its what they use, so I'm going to track the results in the coming weeks. At any rate, It's been a very hot, windy, and humid week in Western Oregon, and she's been drinking nearly 2 gallons/day. New growth looks very healthy, and the sites where I've topped are growing 2 new vibrant colas.

So I flipped them 2 weeks ago, they grew nearly 10 centimetres in a week and I was running out of space so I read a bit about super cropping and gave that a go. Waters up to 2 litres every 2 days, feeding 2 out of 3

i run in a bit calmag defiency i dont know why, my only guess is overwatering, other plant (tangiematic) didnt have this problem with same feeding. maybe the light was too close and burned a bit faster trough the calmag as it has 2.75 par.

Well another epic this week. The girls are looking very tasty indeed now! I have now harvested one plant on day 57. It was a tad early for her but she started looking pretty bad for some reason. Potentially started the flush on her a little early or could have been root rot. Either way the plant was chopped to ensure buds were saved. She weighed a cracking 550g wet, and dry was about 100g. This was the girl that was completely untouched, no defoliation etc complete virgin ;). Unfortunately the RH was high I ordered a dehumidifier but they sent me a faulty one and by time had a new one was too late some mould was starting to occur on the girls in a few places. I was over cautious and slung around 25g of buds that were near the mould just to ensure it didn’t spread to the rest of the plant. I also sped the drying up and placed in brown paper bags for last 2 days to suck the remaining moisture off after a full trim and inspection. The girls took a total of 5 days to dry and are now curing. They were a bit “hay” like in smell and taste but this was probably because of all the problems listed above. She is starting to smell much better after a couple of days of curing though so my faith is restored that the remainder of the buds may be quite good still! The last 3 girls have been going lovely, and starting to bring in some purple colours to the sugar leaves which are quite nice, all the trichomes are nice and cloudy and just starting to go amber. I will be harvesting on day 66 as this will allow me a good period of time to trim them fully into reasonable size buds and dry in my hanging net in the tent to ensure no mould problems again. For the last 3 days I have been flushing with 30L of water to ensure they are completely free of nutrients as again think this maybe another factor on the not so nice smelling/tasting buds from the first girl. I will give 2 days to fully dry the soil out bone dry before I cut them down. Happy I took her down early as it’s allowed me to ensure I have 3 good plants left and the remainder of the grow/dry/cure should go smoothly as know what I am doing now.

Über die ersten Wochen konnte man sich nicht beschweren. Das Wetter hat größtenteils mitgespielt und die jungen Pflanzen hatten gute Wachstumsbedingungen.

Greeting of the day! First of all, thanks to everybody who is engaging and interacting with my diary and myself. I truly enjoy and appreciate you all! The time laps of the first LST is relevant to week 4, but decided to put it here as well for the contrast. For the last week, i have increased watering volumes and put them on regular schedule, and i see pretty massive grow. Jumped from 15 to 35cm in height and thats after the first LST. I am not feeding the girls anything but water with regulated PH. Seems that the soil is rich enough to keep them fed. Today (day 33), ive decided to perform another LST, more radical than the first one. The main stems started to shoot up and it seems that the rest of the body is falling behind in growth, so i bended and twisted around the main columns of 2/3 girls. Is seems that they have reacted extremely positively. I see immediate development of secondary columns (check out the photo right after lst and in 4 hours) Also, I’ve defoliated, well… removed one leaf that I was not able to tuck anywhere. P.S. Oh! got the girls a new fan, specially designed for grow tents. They are happy and so am I. The smell is so nice, if i leave the tent open it fills the room almost immediately. Thanks for stopping by and reading, have a great day and good luck! Will drop updates on the go.

This girl was a little slower starting. We had excessive rain. I thought it was going to rot her roots. It didn't. She's handled the wet conditions and is really taken off this week. We had more rain on day 4 then intermittently through the night into day 5. We had cooler temps on day 6 and more intermittent rain that evening and night. Day 7 we again had thunderstorms and rain that night. I added Diamond Brand Ferrous Sulfate at the above listed rate of 2.5 ml/gallon of soil in day 6. I distributed these granules evenly across the top of the soil. Using 7.6 pH well water creates challenges in keeping iron and phosphorus available to the plants. Adding this amendment acidifies the soil and provides a readily available and lasting iron supplement during veg.

Week 2 Think there's still signs of overwatering from solo cups being dodgy, the leaves were turning abit yellow I have transplanted into 5 gallon now and they should be getting air, will let it dry out for a few days before watering again. Should see leaf colour healing now

As you can see now I am batteling crazy hot temperatures. She is already crazy sticky and has this typical Guava smell. Strwaberry with Pear. I am proud of this plant which has been moved around all over the place and she still will give me a nice yield of yummy Nuggets.

Not a lot to update the seedlings have came up out the soil at this point they are still to small to tell any visible differences. I started all the seeds from all 10 packs and and I put 26 of them in soil I now have about 20 of them left I still have atleast one left if every strain. I just kept the 20 plants that all started off at the same time it’s so much easier when there is not some plants behind from the rip. In a few days I will pick out the best one from each of the 10 strains and toss the rest so sad there is a plant count here.

Really loved this plant and how it grew other then the fox tails, Unfortunately I had to move this weekend and just couldn’t continue growing her and moving at the same time. She still had a good 1-2 weeks left but what is there looks really good will update when she finishes drying.

Kweekverslag Week 3: Cheese van Seeds Genetics Datum: 18 maart 2025 Het is weer tijd voor een kweekverslag, en dit keer over mijn Cheese-plant van Seeds Genetics! Week 3 is voorbij, en het is geweldig om te zien hoe deze soort zich ontwikkelt. Laten we eens kijken naar de details van deze spannende week. Groei en Ontwikkeling: In week 3 is mijn Cheese-plant flink aan het groeien! De bladeren zijn robuust en hebben een heldergroene kleur die doet denken aan een weelderig weiland. De internodes beginnen mooi te verlengen, en ik zie al enkele takken zich ontwikkelen die veelbelovend zijn voor een goede opbrengst. Het is echt een plezier om naar te kijken terwijl de plant zich zo goed ontwikkelt. Voeding: Ik heb de voedingsstoffen zorgvuldig afgestemd op de behoeften van de plant. Deze week heb ik een combinatie van stikstofrijke en kaliumrijke meststoffen gebruikt om zowel de vegetatieve groei als de bloei te stimuleren. De Cheese-plant lijkt deze mix te waarderen, want de bladeren stralen gezondheid uit en zijn stevig. Licht en Temperatuur: De lichtcyclus blijft op 18 uur licht en 6 uur duisternis, wat optimaal lijkt voor deze soort. De temperaturen variëren tussen de 21-24°C, wat ideaal is. De luchtvochtigheid heb ik rond de 52% gehouden, wat perfect lijkt voor de groei en voorkomt dat de plant uitdroogt. Training: Ik heb deze week ook begonnen met low-stress training (LST) om de takken in bedwang te houden en meer licht naar de lagere delen van de plant te laten komen. Het is ongelooflijk om te zien hoe Cheese zich aanpast aan de training. De takken zijn al begonnen te groeien, en de naastliggende scheuten krijgen ook meer kans om zich te ontwikkelen. Gezondheidscheck: Tot nu toe is alles gezond en in topconditie! Er zijn geen tekenen van plagen of ziekten, en de bladeren zijn vrij van vlekken of andere afwijkingen. Ik controleer regelmatig op eventuele problemen en zorg ervoor dat ik de plant goed water geef. Conclusie: Al met al was week 3 een fantastische periode voor mijn Cheese-plant. De groei is indrukwekkend, de geur begint zich te ontwikkelen, en de plant voelt sterk aan. Ik ben benieuwd naar wat de komende weken zullen brengen en kijk ernaar uit om meer updates te geven! Tot volgende week! 🧀🌱

Alright guys so here's to last week My first time doing sweet seeds And I must say it was really awesome Yo, I ran my first Cream Mandarine XL from sweet seed and at the very beginning thought she was going to die, she was sad and having it rough but with lots of caring she came back to life and even better, this is also one of the longest autos and the tallest I've had with many colas, Im still learning so I should probably train them better in the long run once I get to run another one, well if you look into my profile at my grow diary I'm running gorilla XL right now and I'm training her little by little, more precisely I'm making sure she's getting plenty of light so we don't waste any single spot of energy once she's got to bloom!! But hey we keep talking bout cream Mandarine XL and it's sad to say goodbye but it's also her time, she's got to the point of no return and we've got to take her out Thanks a lot for everything pretty girl You rock and I love sweet seeds Thanks a lot for those good good smokes Sweet smokes to all of you running them genetics also thanks a lot to the whole community who supported me in the whole process I do appreciate it Also thanks again sweet seeds Apollo for your support letting me run your genetics and given the opportunity to show the world my farming level Hopefully with the great people around I will become better :') Alright now time to harvest this girl Peace and love brothers If you got any questions just shoot

Hello my friends growers This week I've got more and more yellow leaves, Do you think it's a carence, water excess, precose senesence? I don't what I need to think, or if just normal, I just give her water two times per week. 0.6l x 2. Fertilizer 1/2 times. I think I'll harvest end of this month or start December. If no, bud are biggest each day, and smeel really sweet. I've also started pk 13 14 this week. Sorry not lot pic's this week , I've broke my phone and lost several pic's. Have a good week 😁😁

24/03 watered AGAIN after 2 days with 1.5L 5.9 PH 1.5 EC, 5ml/L of Terra Bloom. So far im really happy with plagron. Just one bottle for grow and one for bloom and the plants look healthy and show no signs of deficencies. really happy with the product. Moreso than biobizz, where i used Grow, bloom, calmag, activera and topmax and still fought deficencies here and there. I also am conflicted about the trellis net. I like what it does but i think my tent is too full with plants or too small to really enjoy it growing-wise. I cant move the plants and its hard to reach them during watering. So i removed it again. its an on/off relationship with us :D I also did some more defoliation, PROMISE ITS THE LAST TIME. i took out the plants of the tent for it to better reach the insides of them and made some nice videos of their progress so far. ALSO: Tent smells really good and overwhelming when i open it! sadly, it escapes pretty fast so ill put "normal" smell on here. but its decent! Watered again on 27/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.8 PH 1.7 EC 29/03, 1.5l 5ml/L Terra Bloom 1ml/L Green Sensation, 5.7 PH 1.7 EC
