Today was the last day of 18/6 hours light schedule!! I just changed the timer to 12/12 I increased the Bilberry lamp from 60 to 70% Power. During this week I really had to increase the amount of both water and nutrients, Just like the breeder said, she starts to eat a LOT already in the vegetative stage so I fed her a lot and even thought I did I noticed small signs of deficiencies on the lower leaves, Mid week I re potted Her to a 25L container and cut out some of the fan leaves just as the breeder recommended. The reason I follow the recommendations is I have grow Sherbinskis line before and the end effect is so much better. Also starting to keep a big temp difference between night and day. As you can see She is growing very fast.

Hello my friends! Almost weekend, are you ready for it ? I can't wait, the work drained me soooo much this week! Good that this little Titan gives me so much joy and satisfaction every time im back home! Back to us! Today is friday and marks the last day of her 10th week. Today is kinda important, is exactly 77 days since the plant showed up from the soil. RQS is saying that normally this plant is ready to harvest in about 70 to 75 days. Mine is already 77 and is not ready yet. As you can see from the picutres and clips especially the last ones of this week...you can see that her trichomes are not quite ready yet. The trichomes look like they are 85%/90% ready right now, as I am writing this post. The pictures and clips are also from this morning, is all fresh material. Most of the trichomes are cloudy but you can still see that few of them are not ready yet, also there is no amber colour at all. All of this it must mean that the plant can go couple days more. This week and the previous one I was reading and checking online about this plant and her previous grows. I understood that the plant in reality takes a little longer to get FULLY ripe and ready. A little over 80 to 85 days. I will let her run for another week more or less, today is day 77. For peace of mind I am checking the trichomes every 2 days to don't miss it or be late. It would be a shame to cut it down right now. Why? I can see the buds getting bigger and bigger everyday! She's getting thicker literally in front of my eyes, especially in this late phase of flowering. I can see the buds increasing in size day by day. I am sooooo happy! Dope! So harvest probably next week! WATERING This week I've started the FLUSH cycle. The plant got 6 L of plain water adjusted to 6.3 pH and splitted in 3 watering sessions by 2L each. In all 3 waterings the drained water was around 1 liter. NUTRIENTS No nutrients this week, same story next week. Just plain water till harvest, the water will be adjusted to the correct pH. No more no less. The harvest should fall exactly on the day that marks 2 weeks of no nutrients. So actually with this we are really spot on! Perfect I would say. LIGHTNING The light is always 100%, 24/7. The only update here is that at the beginning of this week I lowered the light about 10 centimeters for this last days of flowering. Is an experiment...anyway my light is only 70 watts in the end. So I am not too worried about it, probably I should lower it couple of week ago to give that extra boost to the plant. But it is what it is, now is too late ahahahah. Anyways talking about the light...before I've got 25 centimeters between the led lamp and the plant, now is about 15 centimeters of distance. TRAININGS NO MORE training techniques were applied to the plant. At the beginning of this week I REMOVED all the LST that was trapping and keeping her strapped to the pot. I wanted the plant to BE FREE during the last two weeks of her life. Like a little treat and mercy for this beautiful prisoner ahhahaha. Removing the LST I allowed the plant to lift up a little bit more her branches. In this way the buds sites went up and closer to the led lamp, closer about 10/20%. Maybe is not much but in the end everything counts on the scale. We will see the results. The height of the plant didn't change in this last weeks, it reached 48 cm and stayed there. Actually after I released her from the LST last week, it gained 2 cm. So now at the end of her life the plant is 50 cm tall. The smell is strong and pungent, refreshing somehow. Very pleasant, I love it. OVERALL Everything is going well, just a little bit late on the schedule. The patience is the key for good and big buds! I CAN SEE THE FINISH LINE, WE ARE ALMOST THERE. See you next week for the final update! Stay safe y'all!

Week 7 of Flower going well, plants seem to be stressed a little bit though I believe it's either some slight nute burn or a nute lockout caused by overfeeding. Runoff EC coming out about 200 higher than the input also runoff ph is around 5.4-5.5 which to me indicates slight overfeeding. Going to feed one more week every other day with a watering in between each feeding ph'd to 5.7, than I will start my 2 week flush using clearex by botanicare and plain ph'd water. Some nice purples have also started to really come out this week and the trichomes are constantly packing on.

Start of week 2 flowering. This girl is hungrier than her round 1 sister. Probably because of the extra veg time, she has developed more root and plant mass that needs more nutrients. The plant itself is growing nicely, stretching and getting busier.

Wow they are really going strong. They are getting really bushy. I am still doing LST and I am still feeding the fish twice a day. They are all developing multiple tops. I will begin some defoliation this week. I posted a video this time. that other plant in the video is a pineapple.

Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP... I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. 鈽笍 Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 馃槻. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't. My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping 馃ぃ Process/ Environment changes since last week: - To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F). - I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range - I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat. - I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible - My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants - I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE. The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more. The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered 鈽笍 Thank you Fastbuds

-Cotton Pad method - before putting them into cotton pads soak seeds in bottled drinking water - !!! DO NOT SOAK THE PADS !!! - just give them a few gentle sprays with a mist sprayer then put 2 seeds in 2 cotton pads like a sandwich and spray that sandwich again. - put cotton pad Sandwich in baggie with little opening for air circulation and spray into baggie one Last time - everything together in an dark medium warm spot and wait for about 24-48 hrs

It was a busy week full of events. I got them a 600 watts HPS light and microbes to help them grow faster. I finally started the trellis netting to even the canopy and get more from the lights and I also spray the plants again for bugs. I found out that I've been using powder nutrients on my reservoir and that's probably why I've been getting floods two or tree times a week and now the valve is open only when I'm there, because I'm sick of cleaning and I took that little sick plant out. My cats have her now.

Had to switch the ladies to different lights for reasons undisclosed. They handled it very well and are growing vigorously. Lst was easy on them due to the topping a couple weeks ago. First signs of flower are showing as well.

Stilly leggy but added some more soil with organic compost on top and they seem to be holding up ok. Lighting I think is an issue but I鈥檝e had some days with 24 hour light and this when I notice a lot of growth. Still have the fan on throughout the day to try and help strengthen them up. Uploaded a video for day 23. Seeing new growth every day and I鈥檓 getting excited 馃槅 Makes me want to start germinating more! I also added another 65 watt LED full spectrum grow light.
