#1 still not flowering it’s been almost 3 weeks since the flip to 13/11. #3 is loaded with buds!! #4 is also loaded. #3 and #4 aren’t stretching a ton, and I love that they seem to be putting all of their energy into making buds. I’ve defoliated some to keep the budsites in the light.

Beginning of week... This plant has been growing for over a month now. I didnt expect it to come out this amazing.. So now I am creating the grow diary lol. I flipped it to 12/12 this week. She was just going to be LST'd but the top had broke off while making adjustments to the LST one day earlier on.. Damnit.. She's still gonna make some dank ass nugs tho! After 3 - 4 days of 12/12 she has already begun her stretching! End of week... She has stretched some this week.. Not very much in my opinion.. But some for sure.. Not many pistils yet.. Some but no nugs building yet. When you cruch the leaves you have defoliated from this girl.. They have a more danky smell.. Its crazy.. Different than other strains I have grown.. I didnt expect leaves to carry different smells also!

16 days of slow drying each plant with the environment controlled inside the tent with 2 meters. I have two fans on, pointing at the floor to circulate the air temps - 20 - 23 º humid - 50- 60 %

Week 6 went well the girls are doing nicely, getting harder to take pics now. pH is decreasing in the root zone below 5.5 I’ve been feeding at 6.0 to raise it, but doesn’t seem to be helping. pH pen is calibrated so I’m going to flush Tomorrow to bring it to 5.7 crowding is becoming an issue, I’m using yo-yos to help support and pull away from each other. I’ve been removing the odd leaf to uncover flowers. All in all I am looking forward to harvest in a few weeks.

UPDATES: - Pushed them a little too hard as you can tell by the pics, pushed temps up to 31/32'C. Pulled temps back down to 29'C, seems to be the sweet spot. -Just waiting to harvest GENETICS: -MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! WATER: -Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) -Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: - Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C - Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C - Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) - Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) - VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) - Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: - Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) - Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) - Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: - UVB ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. - Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) - At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 - Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: - Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) - Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) - Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: - Mostly getting out of the plants way and letting nature take its course. - Some LST. (i.e. tying down branches and tucking large leaves away) - No HST or Defoliation. INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb - Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. - Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. - Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

6/22 End of fist week in newly remodeled grow room! Clones did well with transfer from clone machine to grow rails. Got rid of the 3 inch neoprene Inserts for the sliced pipe insulation. Wrapping the pipe insulation around the root riot allows me to see the base of the plant and the root riot witch provides a good indication of moisture level in the rail. By zoning the high pressure irrigation, the pressure is running higher than the last round and I found my settings at 3 minutes every 30 min too much water. Added 10 minutes to root dry time to 40 minutes off. Seems to have done the trick and leaf curling has diminished. 😀 All set for new round. Get the last round of lids at greenbud.life Open enrolment till July 4th. Get signed up before then!

my fellow cultivators and Power Buds enthusiasts! It's time to dive into the much-anticipated Week 2 Veg Report for my ever-charming companion, Jelousy. And oh boy, we've got some exciting news to share! Jelousy has been thriving and strutting her stuff with absolute finesse. Those once-freaky leaves have now transformed into fabulous five-fingered beauties. It's safe to say she's becoming a real head-turner in our little green world! As we venture into the exciting world of nutrient management, I've been providing our leafy superstar with Plagron Sugar Royal at a modest 1ml per liter. Jelousy seems to have quite the appetite, slurping up around 150ml of this delightful concoction every two days. It's like she's sipping on the elixir of life, and I can practically hear her say, "More, please!" Now, let's delve a bit into the science of it all. Plagron Sugar Royal is a rich source of essential nutrients and sugars, ensuring that our Jelousy gets the royal treatment she deserves. With this specially crafted elixir, we're not just feeding a plant; we're nourishing a green goddess. Now, before we wrap up, let's raise a virtual toast to the ever-generous Zamnesia and Plagron for making our Power Buds journey a reality. Their support is like a guardian angel watching over our botanical endeavors. And of course, a big shout-out to the fantastic Grow Diaries community. You're the wind beneath our leaves, the light in our grow rooms, and the heart of this passionate community.

Light intensity was increased to around 1000 PPFD under stable conditions.☀️ Temperature stayed at ~25°C with ~50% RH. Both plants remained in their 20L final pots. Watering was done every 2–3 days, based on pot weight, using RO water + CalMag.💧 Additionally, the plants received 1x BioTabs Bio PK during this week. By the end of Week 6, the stretch was basically finished.🌿 Apricot #2 remained the tallest plant in the tent. Apricot #1 stayed more compact but looked overall better structured and more balanced. Bud sites were clearly forming, though still relatively small at this stage. A large number of pistils were visible, showing that the plants had fully transitioned into flower. 🌸 The first trichomes were already noticeable, but aroma was still subtle. Leaf color remained a healthy green, and overall plant health looked stable and strong.
