Second week of flower, time to stretch! Im very happy with the outcome so far, it is without worry that some tops are in shadow. Enough tops to go around, have to wait until after stretch to lollipop! The lady all the way in the back, to the left, has either stunned growth or just slower than the other to go into stretch. However i will just play the waiting game, as i see no symptoms for a problem atm. Last watering was 15/10 👽👉17/10 VPD is set to 1.2, but because of the function of my dehumidifier, it range from 1.1-1.3. 👽👉18/10 Waterday* They are real thirsty First signs of pistils have shown! I upped my nutes from EC1.36 to EC1.66 BioHeaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1ml/L > 1.5 BioBloom 0.5ml/L >1.5 TopMax 0.5ml/L> 1 Calmag 0.3ml/L > 0.4 👽👉19/10 The ladies love it! Stretching and praying hands! 👽👉20/10 Impressed with the stretching. Not much to report, they just feeling the vibe. 👽👉21/10 Changed the lamp hanging system, to gain some more distance from light to canopy. 👽👉22/10 Thirsty ladies, but since i did not have time to water, i gave them 200ml each to survive another 24hours without feed. 👽👉23/10 Waterday* I upped my nutes from EC1.66 to EC1.77 added 1ML/L Rootjuice to this feed Bioheaven 2ML/L BioGrow 1.5 ML/L > 2 BioBloom 1.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

She's looking super beautiful after the stretch,she looks strong and ready for full flower let's see how this beautiful California girl performs! 💚 🌱 ✌️

She is starting to work towards the finish line. Buds are stacking nicely and the smell is quite strong when the tent is opened. This strain kinda smells like sweet strawberry candy. Kinda feel like she will be done within 2-3 weeks. Seeing some excess K symthoms after her last feed, so i might stop feeding until harvest.

Week 9 of Flower & Happy Day 60 of Flower, you beauty 😍 She continues to stun with her amazing colours fading. I tried to best show her beauty with different bgr colors, with whatever is possible in my home. I decided against flushing her. I will decrease her feeding towards the end, but not flush her. Let's see how that works out. Currently guessing another 7 days? Let me know what you think :) Will post some trichome shots later. Happy day 🍃☀️ Day 61 - Took some trichome shots today. From the pictures I would almost say she's there? I see so many amber ones and purple transparent milky mixed ones. Hard to say. She's also almost red now, her leaves, no leaf left without fading... I didn't plan for her to be ready this week, aaaaaaaaah. Will she make another 5 days? I hope so. Also the light green shining things, what is it? I find them curled up on buds, they grow a white hair outside but they are curled like a little ball, is it balls???? I watered them today with 3l and a lighter feeding, 2ml bloom and topmax. I guess it was her last watering 😌 Looking at the trichomes and planning a little time-wise, I think I might let her under the light the whole tomorrow, then start the next in Darkness and leave her in the dark for the following 48hours. That should give me some time to prepare her harvest and upcoming drying situation a bit better. Exciting yeay 😝 Day 62 of Flower and 132 days in total and this lady has her last day with light. I went and checked her trichomes again, from top to bottom. She's ready 😍Now into darkness for min. 48 hours yeay

She is going all out right now. Nothing slows her down. I did a heavy defoliation and she just kept going balls to the wall. The silica blast has really toughened her up.

Day 63: Well what can I tell you for this week... Things gone alright, I didn't gave them much water since they already had lots of it before I came back from vacation lol. - One plant has been slightly overfed, no burnt tips but the leafs are dark green and some leafs only have like 3 tips. I'm not sure how to explain in into english but oke plants have 5, good ones have 7 and the best have 9 per leaf. - One plant(p2) is light green but the way the buds develop are normal so I'm happy about it, it still has potentional. - One plant(p1) already has mature buds but those buds are really small. - Two plants are flowering fine and still have potentional. Overal it goes alright, not perfect not bad. It has been a bad summer since the start. I'm fine with it because I had many years of good summers and harvests. Instead of acting spoiled I stay humble. I do believe it will be a good tasty smoke because the amounts of thc is insane, yet the total yield will be small. In my opinion one plant will be ready at the end of the next week, the other plants need like 2-3 weeks from this point. Until next week!

Seems to always stop in the 3rd to 4th week 😕 but they are starting fill out now. Banana Blaze 🍌 out now little longer then I'm used too but I'll take it.

Day 46 of Flower, 93 since germination. Starting to check the trichomes with my new wifi microscope. Looks like Lemon Extract has a scattering of amber trichome heads, but only in bud nearest the light. All other look milky and glassy. I'm thinking Lemon Extract might harvest in one week. The others, maybe two weeks. Gave the ladies their last feeding today. Just PH balanced water from here til harvest.

❇️ Week 4 Over for Ms Northern ❇️ Phoenix seeds have a very interesting profile to them ❇️ She was consistent with the growth and the trunk started thickening too

17-07-2024 We have decided to flip them this week as certain light disruptions have caused complications and we are going to avoid anymore. Let's see how they react to the nutrients and go from there

Nice;))))

This is obviously not week one. I had this Power Africa clone in the corner of my mother tent under some weak CFL lights, i transplanted it A week or two ago. I have no definite plans for this plant but I decided to HST her today, i'll see what happens over the next couple weeks. I do intend to turn the harvest into hash, so 100 grams would do fine.

Retiro las primeras hojas que salieron que se quedaban sin fuerza/luz abajo y se estaban pochando. Avanza lo que parecía sequedad, ahora tiene mas pinta de hongo (mildiu). Corto las 4 hojas afectadas. Amanece reforzada y sin rastro del hongo. Apliqué la solución para curarla a pesar de ver mejoría. Parece que crece bien pero sigue desarrollando una especie de manchas al final de las hojas grandes

Well this was quite an experience, from the nice box the dutch passions come in to the germination , vigours sprouts came about, and took well to transplant. Potted each of these into their own soil and peat mix, layered seven of each i think with perlite. they got CELLMAX soil, best soil I've ever used for sure, it's horticultural soil so it's been steamed meaning no pollutants and no pests. The room itself this time i had reworked a bit, still loads of bends on the tubes though, but had a proper intake this time with a fine mesh filter so nothing got into the room. Had the pots elevated only by the time flower came around same for the CO2 so I only had a few good weeks with it. Didn't kill the plants though, so I'll review using it in my Six shooter diary, check it out . Anyway these plants veged out , and in the first weeks had the light too high for how strong/weak it was (it's crazy how close you need to have it actually!) and the little seedlings stretched some, so I LST'ed all of them. They all took to LST really well actually. The biotabs plant was the first one to sort of musle through her bindings, and i ended up feeling sorry for it and removing them thinking the bend was mostly done anyway. It didn't help that this was a corner plant and I just didnt really have access to it as nicely as the others. Anyway the LST wasnt done though and the plant fully redressed showing only a little bend towards its base at harvest time. The Mr. B's showed the best results on LST. It got bent 90° then grew out but managed to stick it's main cola out just in time i guess, so it had several mains maybe 3 maybe 4 and several side shoots. The Vertafort one took to LST the worst of the three (through no fault on vertafort's nutrient's part!) It basically got bent 90° but got held down too much by the bindings , and being a corner plant simply it got less light the whole grow, being overtaken by the other plants in the tent. Through veg though these grew to nice busheles, each in their own style, pushing out fat indica leaves , mostly being kept at appropriate VPDs. Note that the temps i've recorded are for maximum temperatures hey ! Anyway it I ended up with an uneven canopy by the start of flower stretch due to the different LST styles and the different growth rates, the vertafort one being basically stunted. During flower stretch these stretch ! lol doubled in size at a steady rate I can tell because the biotabs one was basically no longer LST'ed right? Anyway way blueberry styles not so much auto gsc styles that much I can tell you. The longer side colas a great too, they're much longer than the GSC's side colas and they have two or more flower nodes more each. By week 4 of flower the Mr. B's started to look pro, with a nice canopy and several distinguishable mains sticking out from the bush. The vertafort one was a corner plant so I just paid less attention to it - too bad for me ! Anyway the flowers themselves started to emerge with a calyx to larf ratio of 1:0 for the biotabs ones, and I started getting stoked. I could already tell from the squeeze that these would be nice and dense nuggy nug nugs just like I like them. The Mr.B's one was different though, the flowers grew all up and down the colas like they were all filled up. The sugar leafs themselves were like non-existant on Mr.B's but long and thin on the Mr.B's. Then the stacking began, last quite a while to finish up and rippen, i'd say from week 8 through 13. The trichomes reached out, filled up some, curled, in and were full white. I noticed some amber trichomes and it was time for the chop ! Throughout the grow I tried something new. From joining GD on my first grow I got loads of goodies from @Mrs_Larimar with the Mr.B's nutrients - thank you so much ! - and the biotabs contest , plus the Vertafort that came with seeds from the folks at Zambeza, Zamnesia, and RQS , all of these were dry nutrients, and I got those micro nutrients from my friends too. Great experience using dry nutrients, much more affordable on the whole, easier to measure too. That didnt stop me from messing up a few measures though ! So For most of the grow I planned to add my own micro. I had four micro powders made. One green one for early veg with all the "rare metals" in it at 2% , a bio cal mag, white powder for veg and early flower and a cal mag and mag sulfur I meant to use during flower. So I ended up giving a quarted dose of the organic cal mag most of the time then in flower still had them on a quarter dose of cal mag sulfur before i realised and switched up too late. My whole micro line up i think would cost 10 dollars retain and I had plenty of it left over i think it should last like 4 grows. Not that I'll use it again unless i can get a steady supply - a the travails of the underground micro nutrient market. Worked great though, pH neutral, i used it as spray too, next time I'll mix in humic acid directly in the same feed, because why not and because I would have massively helped. Sometimes in flower i used only calmagsulfur and maybe I didnt mix it in very well but i would dump everything on anyway , a couple time I would check after water and the clumps had formed like 3 inch crystal formations on the top of my soil... Anyone ever seen that before? maybe it's a good sign idk, i usually tried plain water to dissolve them asap. The biotabs worked great on the Colorado cookies though, that much I can say, no excesses of any sort detected, leaves weren't too dark green at all. Mr.B's turned out a BEAST , but that could be from the LST aswell... the vertafort one ended up being a very healthy plant that never lacked anything either. Around halfway through flower I started traing the colas upwards where they were drooping on the biotabs plants and the Mr.b's plant, glad i did because i think plants like to make colas going straight up right? Chopped these at the top of week 14 which is 95 days from the moment i dunked them into the water kept a calendar which I'll show you. Hung to dry for 10 days, then jarred with the 62% boveda, burped inspected daily for a week, then weekly for two weeks. I weighted what I kept lol , no small buds this time, finally my grower dream realized ! So happy i got two (maybe three phenos) because I loved the flowers on the biotabs but I also loved the yielding of the LST'ed pheno. Plenty of wasted cola space though if I'm honest, should have defoliated more, maybe done that just at the edge of veg or something, maybe next time I'll try to flux like @silky_smooth so I can keep them in veg longer and make me a couple beasts. Had to travel to for two halfway through, so what I did was to put perlite in the trays, get the pots off their grills and onto the perlite then i bottom fed plain water, the idea being that the perlite would keep the water from evaporating from the trays too quickly, just as i was loading up the trays , the nex day I saw three thrips but they were flying all wierd and all strange so i thought maybe the airflow was f-ing them up ... and i had to leave anyway. Got back and the pots were bone dry but the plants hadn't died, and the temps were way up. I think the remaining perlite absorbs heat... Anyway started top feeding them again but by this time they were showing signs of stress especially the biotabs one, the mr.b's kinda recovered, and the vertafort was healthy enough it just looked like a bit of magnesium issue. May this could be a good technique for other folks to try. Like i said the perlite might absorb heat, so remove it when you dont need it anymore (i had issues with heat). Over all these gens are yielders, had some of my best work in here, and some less good work. I like having been able to use the GD platform as a companion app, was great fun really. it's great to be able to put all your pictures up and see them side by side, i tried to keep it organised so you and I can see some interesting things like the "three stages of LST" and other interesting nuggets of info. Speaking of nuggets I'll try to get some more and some better pics of the nugs in. Hope you'll visit this again 🚀 EDIT: made some bubble hash for the first time, grower's priviledge ! only used the stems stalks and leafs for it, and it came out really delicious, smells like perfume, burns like incense and tastes like vanila and spices/hash lol basically used some bubble bags , rand the water through once, got negligeable 120s 75s and 45s but got some 25 quite a lot. ran it again, same results with just about the same amout of 25s, i thought i could go a third one, but got negligeable everything lol. Two passes for whatever that is in bubble hash lol, it's still got to dry for another week - bubble hash is kinda of the grower's priviledge, definitely recommend doing it ! 🚀

Flower day 5 for mainline - This lady is really stretching! Can’t wait to see what the buds look like on this!😍😍 thanks for following friends & happy growing!🌱✌️🏼

День 29. Чихать хотела растишка на топпинг, она все равно пытается разорвать бокс и горшок. Сегодня поливать не буду, скорее завтра. Субстрат пока сырой, пусть корни ищут влагу и растут. Чувствую через дней 10 буду делать SCROG и к концу 6-ой недели переводить на цвет. Имеем 4 этажа, 8 веток, что в принципе достаточно. Растет так быстро, что мелкие перья у семилистников не успевают развернуться. День 30. Кормление также по плану, 800/5.6. Обрезал 4 лапуха, так как после топинга потянулись вверх нижние этажи, но лопухи мешают и загораживают от света. Скоро начну пригибать ветки. Всего планируется 8 колл - по 2 с каждого этажа. Еще отодвинул от света подальше, горшки стояли на подставке. Как и хотел сделал растишку коренастой, а вот будущие коллы надо вытянуть, чтобы удобно было развести под сеткой. День 31. Уже даже не смотрю на PH и PPM, потому что рука набилась опять на этот гров. Замешивал AD phPerfect Coco по 2.5мл на 2 литра. Чуток снижаю PH/PPM чтобы не было засола. На дренаж не смотрел. Лень. По фото и так видно, как после топпинга даже рванули те листья, которые даже и не собирались расти. Стрельнул третий этаж. Чую нужно начинать загибать. Видимо, уже завтра. День 32. Не смотря на топпинг и дефолиацию растишка за 3 дня даже не то чтобы стрессанула, а увеличилась в объеме раза в 3 точно. При чем складывается впечатление, что она растет ночью, а не днем. Полив новым компотом 5.5/550, выход 5.9/530. Растиха начинает голодать, точнее аппетитно кушает. Завтра буду заряжать под 800. Центральный ствол уже толщиной примерно 5мм. По краям горшка уже видно куча повылезавших корней. Надо будет еще раз покормить микоризой. Пригнул два верхних этажа. Даже не знаю, буду ли делать SCROG или нет. 8 плотных веток мне хватит за глаза на пол года с одного куста, а у меня их два разных сортов. Наверное дождусь пока нижние этажи сравняются с верхними, переведу на цвет в конце 6-ой недели и посмотрим, нужен ли скрог или нет. Уж очень кусты низкие получились в этот раз. День 33. Натянул сетку и будем выравнивать этажи. Как все подрастут и разойдутся по углам - буду переводить на цвет. Полив GHE, PPM/PH - 740/5.5, выход 638/6.3. Говорит что мало жратвы и надо еще. Завтра подниму до 1000 PPM. Надо PH поднять до 6.8 в дренаж. День 34. Обнаружил что серьезно облажался с самого начала грова... Новый TDS метр по умолчанию показывает в μs, а мне надо в PPM. Коэфициент кондуктомера 0.5, то есть у меня компот в два раза меньше насыщенности, чем нужно. То то у меня вечно PPM падает, а PH растет и понять не могу почему так активно жрет, но растет не так как нужно. Судя по моему же дневнику и фоткам, активно росло именно тогда, когда проливал 800-1000μs (400-500 PPM). Пролил теперь уже нормальным компотом Coco Grow A+B PPM/PH 740/5.7, выход с дренажа 483/6.3. Жесть какой низкий PPM. Надо будет понаблюдать.

Cut the plants down on the 24th of April, drying room levels are 72°F and around 60%RH, I'm currently on Day #14 of drying and the buds don't feel fully dry yet, the main tops feel crunchy and dry but the lower smaller buds are still quite moist and smell like chlorophyll, I think I may harvest the main tops so I don't overdry and leave the rest in the tent for another few days, either that or put the rest of the buds in a brown paper bag to finish drying. Finished dry trimming the plant ended up with 200 grams dry weight not including trim there's another 2 ounces of trim which if you want to include that would bring the total weight from this 250W LED to 256 grams. I'm super happy with the result of this especially for my first grow and from one autoflower, it can only get better from here on out. FYI Not sure why I can't edit the lights I used but the bloomgro 600W LED is PULLING AN ACTUAL 250W FROM THE WALL so the gram/watt should be .8g/W
