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.

Day 45 in flower... Trichomes are about 80% milk and no amber... The paint and big Z are 7-9 weekers and orange cake is 9-10... Def few weeks on the orange cake... But getting close to how I like it on the other two... The smells are outta this world... Orange cake smells like orange cake... Very orange like it's nuts... Never smelt anything like it tbh... The paint is a different pheno than previous ones because there's usually a chemical skunk smell but this is a fruity pebble smell with layers of earth smell and a sticky presence that doesn't go away for a long time lol... The big Z is another sweet smelling but more along the smell of a mouth full of Skittles and that dirt earth smell aftertones... They're awesome and I'm really excited! Day 46 They fattened up over night! Coming to n end... I did find little clusters of amber trichomes on the paint and I can't find many clear on the big Z... So it's right where I want it!

Kept tucking leaves and tried to fill up the canopy. Guess it's working out. We'll see. Any tips? I see a lot of buds developing, deep in the canopy. They seem to catch a fairly amount of light. In hindsight, could I have trimmed them more a couple weeks ago? Early on in the grow the two light hung closer together, therefore the right half of the tent got to much lighting before I replaced the light, further apart. I'm thinking this being the cause of the right half of the tent being lower then the left side. I'm hoping it will catch up.

OMG THE CRYSTALS! Wow first time using any carbohydrates on hydro. I even went with a low dose of 5ml per gal to top it off! The buds grew funky shaped not sure why. But they are really filling in now! And the smell is amazing. Prob 5x stronger then the monther plant that finished flowering in soil not hydro. Hopefully the video uploads in the quality its recorded in, watch the end

The plants have taken to their Earthboxes, especially #1 with the BuildASoil Light. The Earthbox with my Coots mix was the runt, plus I damaged the roots during transplant so it has an uphill battle, but I wouldn't count it out yet. It was looking droopy and with slight discoloration, but after a drench of Kashi Blend Tea (1/3 cup Kashi Blend, 1 teaspoon blackstrap molasses in 1 gallon of water for 24 hours) it perked right up. As for preventative pest management, I've kept doing foliar applications every 4 days of EM-FPE -> EM-1, next week I will incorporate the just-finished EM-5. I made a JADAM wetting agent (JWA) but I have realized even local bottled water is too mineral-heavy for it, so I will need to find a source of distilled water if I want to use it in my foliar regime. Next week I will begin doing LST to get some more tops going. At some point I plan to add a trellis, I have been busy with work but I will find the time to set up something, preferably a trellis that can move with the Earthbox to facilitate maintenance and not have them fixed in place for the entire training and flowering cycles.

Se lograron estabilizar después del transplante, y logran comer bastante, los riegos son cada 2 días, allá purple nos da una distancia internodal mas corta que la 10th, aun así ambas están hermosas

Day 55 ( corrected) : Wow these ladies like to grow. This last week has them all packing their bud sites , ready for the burst of building them. I have included the pk warrior to the Mc feeds to see how it affects them. It is a complete feed bit you can add things if you balance them properly. I am hoping about 4 weeks left but think they will be done by mid January , day 77 mark. Their bud development is where I would expect it to be in a photoperiod grow so i dont feel so out of my zone now. They smell amazingly like their names says they do and at this early stage , i cannot wait to smell them near their finish. The odd girl who was mottled green has gone crazy for bud developments and has them from base to her whole 1.2m heights. Their look doesnt seem to be affecting her ability to grow buds. The small girl is looking cramped in and when I take the 2 finishing strains out , she will get prime position and a staking out for her last 3 weeks of pure light. The LOS girl is the clear leader with this strains side by side and I wonder how much the damage to number 2 has impaired its keeping up with the LOS.

02/14/2026 So I noticed the growth slowed down a bit. I'm guessing it was the low ppm level. Not enough food. So I pumped the water out into another bucket and added more nutrients until it hit 450. I don't want to go any higher yet. Once flower hits, I'm switching to half dose. The thing is, she seems super healthy, if not a bit saggy on the bottom. Maybe that's a sign that she's hungry. Either way, I refilled the bucket with the new dose and we will see how she does. She may be a bit finicky, but I think I got it down. 600 ppm after the flowering stretch. So far she looks great! Good color, no weird issues. Very happy with this plant. The environment is fine today. No issues with the equipment anymore for days. I'll have to keep an eye on her with the new mix to make sure she isn't going toxic. I don't think she will, but you never know. Readings: pH: 5.8 EC: 960 cm TDS: 450 ppm Temp: 67° 02/15/2026 Not much to report today. I'm not seeing much in vigor anymore. If it was only a few days, I'm gonna be really pissed off. There's no reason this plant shouldn't be taking off now. I don't get it. Anyway, the plant itself still looks super healthy. Nice big green leaves. Roots look good too if not a little brown here and there. I checked it's not rot. No clue what it is, but it's very watery. Not slimy and doesn't smell. I think it's just stains. The environment is fine as well. Ranging from 72° to 77° and generally hanging out around 75° just like I have set. The humidity is doing roughly the same thing. Between 52% and 60% while it tends to rest mostly at 55%. Right where I want it. So I'm thinking I'll need to top off every other day at the rate she's drinking. It'll probably end up being everyday when she gets into flower. Update: I raised the light up to 22" and increased the light power up to 60% the DLI is 40 mol. 02/16/2026 Readings: pH: 5.75 EC: 726 TDS: 362 Temp: 67.7 She's looking really good today. No issues but the TDS is still really low. Not super low anymore, but like 362 ppm. I'm changing the water out in a few days. I'll be doing the bloom schedule from then on. She got big. Not tall yet. She's still growing. No buds in sight. Just a happy plant. She's a sativa dominant strain, so she should take a little longer. But I thought that was with Flowering. Oh well. I'm not complaining. If she needs an extra week or so to finish growing, by all means, please grow. The Blue Dream on the other hand has buds at the top already. She doesn't seem to be stretching, but it think it's because she's getting really bushy. Just like this lady here. The environment is looking really good now. Nothing to report. The roots are everywhere now. Mostly white with some brown here and there. Not sure exactly what it is, but it doesn't smell and it's not slimy. Must be stains. It also doesn't rub off like algae would. But they are huge. Nice root ball. I can't even pull the plant all the way out of the bucket anymore. With the size of the plant and the roots being very difficult to move gently, I'm stuck pumping out the water. And pumping it back in. Not that it's hard, but I don't have 2 buckets or I'd be able to pump in a new mix and not have to leave her without water for like 20 minutes while I add like 10 different nutrients. Maybe I'll buy a second bucket. Anyway, that's all for today. 02/17/2026 Not much to report today. She is bigger than yesterday. Slight upward growth, but more outward growth. Bigger leaves and the branches are stretching horizontally. I also counted the nodes. She has 10 nodes before the stacking began. That's like 20 tops. If I can't keep this lady happy for the next 2 months, we shall see a bountiful harvest indeed. She'll be getting a full defoliation right after the stretch. I just did it with the Blue Dream. She'll be done well before the Apple Strudel. Maybe even 2 weeks. But that just means the apple strudel will be a better harvest. Especially because it's still stretching and isn't covered in pistils yet. I hope this isn't another hermie and thats why veg is taking longer. I MUST LOOK! 02/18/2026 I wish I had a 3rd hand, cuz then I could show the MASSIVE root ball. It takes up most of the bucket now. And it's not done. At least based on what I'm seeing as she's still not done stretching. Still no buds too, so she's definitely still stretching. I wonder why she's not slowing down. I've checked multiple times for male parts and I haven't seen anything. Maybe she's just has a longer veg stage. But she has pistils all over the top. Not much on the bottom. So why she's half transitioned to flower. Lol. The environment is looking awesome now. The heater and humidifier are doing minimal work to keep it up to snuff. Very happy with this. Now to keep her happy. I have to check the light distance again I think. Then move it accordingly. She did get a half gallon top off today. It was left over from yesterday. Her readings looking decent. Readings: pH: 6.0 EC: 750 TDS: 375 Temp: 66.3 02/19/2026 So today we did some defoliation. She's starting to show buds, but just. So I defoliated her. She looks good. Nice and open canopy. Lots of air flow. A little droopy now, but that's to be expected. Well, kinda. She's a tiny bit droopy. We'll see how she does this afternoon when the praying starts. The environment is looking really good. Goot temp and humidity. 76° and 55%. I plan on dropping the humidity to 50% next week. I checked the DLI today. It's 41 mol. I'll leave it there for now. There shouldn't be a problem with that, especially because I have CO2 in the tent. So it should be fine with 41. If it goes any higher, I'll have to realize the light a bit more, and or drop the light power. She's still growing. So that's good. The water is perfect. pH is 5.8, EC 797, TDS is 442. Temp was 76.6° very happy with those numbers. Next week I'll increase the TDS to 500 I think. She should be strong enough to handle a good amount of bloom nutrients. Hopefully she's not as sensitive to the bloom stuff as she was to the grow stuff. She seems to be happy with the current mix, and when she really needs the bloom nutrients, she should be really hungry. 02/20/2026 Last day of week 6. 6 weeks in veg is quite the long time and not much to show for it. Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful plant, but she should be much bigger for 6 weeks in veg. Oh well. She'll make up for it with buds. Lots and lots of buds. The water is really low. Like maybe over a gallon low, but I'm replacing it tomorrow with bloom nutrients. So I don't want to top off and waste nutrients. Oh, so I tried to lift the roots out of the bucket just to see if I could move the plant. Nope. The roots are heavy. The ball is massive. As I said before, it takes up the whole bucket. So it is confirmed, I cannot remove the plant from the bucket. I thought it would have been from the canopy being held down by the trellis net. Well, this is a benefit. Now I know I can use the trellis net and not have to worry about what if. Lol. The environment is good to go. Nothing else to say. As for the plant itself, she looks great! Nice and open. Plenty of light to get to the bottom buds and plenty of air flow.
