Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

Here we go! about 6 weeks into flowering. I just moved to a new place, new Balcony (that receives better sunlight). I cut down about half of the plant because she was ridiculously bushy and not flowering. I cut a bunch o branches (like 6 or 7) in beginning of October in an attempt to stress into flowering to kick start her into flowering and it worked. Finally started producing and flowering. Buds are not crazy big but lots of small nugs going (12 or so tops). Very sativa in its flowering behavior. Nice trichrome production is finally happening, smells delicious. Trichromes are about 90% milked over so probably about 2 more weeks I would guess by looks of everything. Week 8 of flowering.

🌱 Sour Apple⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ 🌸 flowering 9 weeks⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ 💚 70% Indica, 30% Sativa⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ 💣up to 27%⁠⁠ THC⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ 👅Apple, lemon⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⚖️ 550g/m²⁠⠀ Sour Apple was created by an intersection of the original Sour Diesel and a Pure Kush. It is an indica dominant hybrid with a combination of both indica and sativa effects. It has an delicious intense taste of sour apples and lemon and a gigantic potency. The rockhard buds are covered in a thick layer of milky white trichomes and are packed with sweet resin. Users describe the high of the sour Apple as a strong mental shift, a uplifting head high that leaves you motivated and focused with a sense of overwhelming euphoria and social tendencies. This is followed by a slow fade into an intensely overwhelming couch-lock. Sour Apple sends her 27% of THC stright to your mind to kick you in other psychedelic spheres. We proudly present this unique goddess to all the growers in the world. GROWING SOUR APPLE When growing indoors it is a good idea using screen of green or sea of green methods. You can expect big yields of 500g or more per squae meter indoors, 700g per plant outdoors. The flowering time is 9-11 weeks. Indoors, Sour Apple is a vigorous grower with many side stems which can be trimmed to keep the plant in bounds. Indoors, the plants grow between 1,00-1,50 m depending on the introduction of the flowering phase, outdoors Sour Apple can reach four metres of hight. MEDICAL USE Because of its strong effects Sour Apple is an ideal strain for treating patients who suffer from conditions such as chronic stress or anxiety, chronic pain due to injury or illness, and sleep disorders (insomnia and sleep apnea). In low doses it is daytime suitable for medical applications, at higher doses, it is the ideal weed for medication at the evening.

These are done stretching (finally!) and are in full-bloom mode. The purple is definitely here and the smell is a pleasant mix of earth, fruits and expensive wood. Muy bien!

the waterworks come covered in some olie residue and i only did a few rinses. I think it kept the ph high for some time and i did a few more water cycles after complete setup. Everytime getting rit of more oil film. I like the bucketd rinsed the leca pepples in high ph tap water and again it took me some time to get ph down but this time no oil residue :) After a few days i felt i got ph under control so started the canna nutes schedule.

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop which had an improved and more potent THC content and was more pungent in terms of smell. Now the third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL which has a similar THC content but with an improved heavier yield. The smoke is incredible with an outstanding flavour of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its strong earthy scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odour. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain and the effect is well-balanced creating mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The strong pungent aroma starts early in the flowering period, if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse the stinky "road kill" aroma of these babies! Cheese XXL is a Cheese strain particularly suited to indoor setups but also thriving well outdoors these feminised marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mould and disease and produce a substantial harvest that both the professional and amateur growers alike can easily achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding, break open the buds ready for use and you'll see why, the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency and flavour then Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice

I started out with two plants, well, I still have two plants but I dropped one when I was changing the nutrient solution. It isn't dead, but it hasn't grown any either since I changed to 12/12 light a week ago. Trashed the stunted one. The remaining one looks like it needed the room anyway.

At long last, the trimming has finally ended. This diary was started late in her life but the age of her was accurate at the time. We had many outdoor issues with her, some normal and some not so normal. For starters, the mildew was expected with this strain but we grew it anyway and we fought it all season long but in the end she came out of the wash looking pretty clean. It is possible that this could have to do with the fact that the raccoons had a swim in our little pool and upon leaving they tore it. This of course flooded some parts of our yard and this girl soaked up the most of it, she bleached quite a bit but she seemed to recover slowly over the following 5 weeks. Bud rot was not at all an issue and the final months of the outdoor growing season were spectacularly beautiful, most of our trimming took place in the sunshine this year. Please note- there was no time for weighing in nor is it a concern for us.

Week 3 of flower has come & gone without too much stress. Gave the ladies a big last defoliation to help with light penetration and airflow at end of week as they were pretty leafy Runoff was a lot lower than feed so have upped the nutes for this week. Blumats got blocked and have been a pain so whilst I'm not too busy with work over holidays will just hand water them. Pretty much no smell at all coming off them yet which is quite strange as normally by now all my other grows have been starting to, I'm sure it will come. 1st video is before big defoliation 2nd video is after Photo is 24hrs after big defoliation

This week things are swelling quick great ! The purple is showing up more but still only trace amounts. The black has no signs of changing colour however I already know my pheno ain’t the one ☝️ . But the purple shows promise!! Slow at cloning and a higher mortality rate then the black amnesia haze. This one almost every single clone I made all root amazingly ! Highly recommend for its yields and ease in the grow room. You can really feed it high . Still unknown why the purp has curling leaves but from others grows I see it’s fairly common . I’m guessing it prefers a slightly more alkaline PH . I’ve been using citric acid to ph correct and every time I sway a little low like 6.4-6.2-5.9 the plants leaves curl slightly more. Most mixes are in the 6.8-6.5 range however.

20.4. - Happy 420 everyone! ☘️ I'm starting the second week of full bloom and plants are looking almost perfect. I've removed Bio Grow from the mix and added more Bud Candy and Cal-Mag, I hope that plants will like it. ✌️ 21.4. - Watered 💧 23.4. - Seems that plants are okay with the new mix and upped amount of water per plant 😎 Watered 💧 26.4. - Week wrap-up: Plants are thriving, however Jack and Lemon are getting a bit yellow. I'm guessing it's because they're right under the light. Watered 💧 20.4. - 26.4.2024
