The girls have gone through a lot this week 😬After a couple of days of LST, I let them recover for a few days. Once they were looking perky again, I decided to top all three. Day 31 - topped the girls after some deliberation. I had been undecided, ultimately figured that it was best for my situation, whether or not I decide to use my DIY scrog screen. For those unsure of when to top, 5 nodes or true leaf sets seems to work for me. Find the shoot at the very top, make sure it’s got some small shoots on either side started, and snip! It’s that easy. Topping will disrupt the hormones being distributed through the plant instead of the top, and force your plants energy and growth to the lower branches. Not to mention you will now have two main tops growing instead of one 😎 Give the plants some time to recover before doing anything major again, and you should he able to see your plants get bushier instead of taller. Once they were topped I bent and worked all the stems and branches between my fingers making sure to get all of them. As you can tell from the main stalk, the twisting and bending works, she thicc already! I also put their wire ties back on and bent all three over as far as I could get them to go comfortably before feeling like they would snap. This was a lot of stress for these girls, but they have shown they have a great stress response, and recover quickly. Can’t wait till the weekend, my big tent will be cleaned and ready to go from my last harvest, they are growing so fast! Happy Gardening 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Well its been a while. I'm social distancing from this site. 😂😂😂😂 Harvested the three Tangerine Hybrids Tangerine Slurpee Tangerine Fart Tahoe Sour Tangerine All smell incredible, these tester's will be a welcome addition to my flower stash. Sour Patch Kids x Sour Fire and Tahoe OGKB x Sour Fire Kush are out to flower now. I hope they don't reveg on me. And last but not least AJ's cut Sour Diesel is out to flower also. Fingers crossed they stay flowering. 🤗

Dear diary, Week 4 almost done, but posting a day in advance as I will need help from the community! Something terrible has happened, and I am not sure what, so let’s jump into it. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 ⏰ Day 25: Away from home so the flatmate is feeding them from the premixed bucket. ⏰ Day 26: Back home! As they have doubled in size I am transplanting up from 3liter to 20liter airpots. The 75/25 coco to perlite mix was first run with 1.23ms 5.8ph calmag water followed by 1.33ms 5.8ph nutes before transplanting over. Light was about 305 so also upped it to 320-330ppfd. G.C #2 still is showing the weird marks and deformation, but she is growing quickly so having real issues figuring out if its something else than some genetic oddity. ⏰ Day 27: Feed the girls at 1.36ms and 6.0ph. Today was also the day where the mainlining begins! This was done by topping above the 3rd node, removing any growth below the 3rd and tying them down to start the manfold. Aiming for 8 or 16 tops for each plant depending on how the grow. ⏰ Day 28: Feeding at 1.36ms 5.8ph and adjusted ties. ⏰ Day 29: Checked in on them in the morning before lights off, and something is very wrong. All the older leaves show all kinds of issues like curling, brown and yellow spots, drooping etc. Might just be from the chock of mainlining and the lights being to strong so lowered them to 230ppfd. Later when lights turned on again, their state has not deteriorated during light off, so I’m fairly sure it is light related. But to be sure I also gave the girls 2 liter each of feed to make sure there are no dryspots, 1.36ms 6.0ph. ⏰ Day 30: I was away all day so they were watered by flatmate with 1.35ms 6ph. When I came home later in the night the spots and yellowing is still happening on the older leaves but much slower than before. I also checked runoff and it’s fine at 1.46ms and 6.0ph. ⏰ Day 30: Gave a feeding of 1.46ms 6.3ph in were I increased A and B nutes to 2.5ml/l from 2.0 and calmag to 1.5ml/l from 1.3. Someone suggested that it might be magnesium deficiency so that is why I changed the ratios and increased the EC a bit. Lastly I also gave a foliar spray of calmag water at like 12ml/l at 6.3ph to see if that helps so we can head into a smoother week 5!

May 17, 2024 Day 92 We are at the end. Tropicana Cookies is in the dry tent having a nice 48 hours of dark. Tropicana C is now in the back of the tent with the 4 Sour Diesels up front. Yes I Tetrised the shit out of it to get them in. But everything is snug. Tropicana Cookies is officially done with the main tent and is now in the dry tent for dark. I defoliated her up yesterday and only left the sugar leaves on. No sense in keeping the fan leaves on the plant if it's going to be pitch black for 2 days. Plus it's much easier to manage. And will be much easier at trimming time. She is also nearly dried out. Just perfect timing for this part. I just hope I'm not too early. Trichomes are almost all cloudy and there's a good 10% amber. A couple more days and in the dark should help them mature right along. Tropicana C is still a hot floppy mess, but the tops have some potential. I think the majority of this plant will end up being pressed for concentrate. I wish I had a bubble washer. Oh well. Pressing flower is the option then. Anyway, she isn't quite fading still, so I'm hoping for that over the next couple of days. If not, then I'll defoliate and put her in the dark for a couple days as well. Her buds are all purple and that's what matters. She has about 5% amber trichomes and maybe 10% clear. Not enough cloudy for my taste. 4 more days? Maybe. 2 in the main tent and 2 more in the dark tent. I'm still trying to free up space for the Sour Diesels. The light doesn't matter really anymore. She isn't growing at all and her buds are probably as big as they are getting. It's just a matter of ripening now. Don't really need a lot of light for that part. But still, I'm leaving the light as it is. Especially now that the Sour Diesels are in there. The environment pisses me off. How the holy hell can I change the temp by 5 degrees and have no impact whatsoever on the humidity? Seriously. The temp is climbing a bit. I have to keep an eye on it as it's going above 78° and I don't want to melt my trichomes. Back down to 74° with the stupid humidity stuck at 62%. Annoying. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.4° RH: 61.4% VPD: 1.17 kPa Quick update: I had to increase the light power to accommodate the Sour Diesels now in the tent. They needed 200 to 25 mol/m²/d, so the light power as increased to 80%. The DLI only increased a couple points. No at 38 mol/m²/d. Everything looks fine. May 18, 2024 Nothing going on today. Tropicana Cookies is finishing up day 1 of dark. The humidity is a nightmare in the tent. It keeps climbing over 66%. I've tried everything at my disposal. Leave the tent door open, dehumidifier in the bedroom, dehumidifier in the tent? I don't think I tried that yet. I have 2 dehumidifiers in the main tent trying to keep the humidity down in there to no avail. I'm not bothering with trichomes today. I'll check trichomes tomorrow afternoon when she finishes up day 2 of dark. I may have to keep her in for a 3rd day. We shall see. Tropicana C needs to get out of the tent ASAP. Her floppy tops are flopping right over the sour Diesels, which are growing vigorously. 2 of them grew 2" last night alone. They need the room now. Tropicana C just isn't ready for the dark tent yet. Maybe a few more days? She's just starting to show signs of fading now. I'll check trichomes tomorrow as well. The lighting is of no concern. It's making the tent too hot, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything to Tropicana C. Tropicana Cookies doesn't have light. Lol. The environment is a nightmare. Humidity is WAY too high. And now the temp is too high. No matter what I do, I can't control it at all. The temp is 77° and the humidity is still ridiculous at 66%. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 64.2% 1.05 kPa Update: so I was researching other issues high humidity can cause. It slows down production and the plant won't drink because there is too much moisture in the air. It makes total sense. All of the flowering plants are taking forever to finish up. Now I think I know why. Also, I added 1/2 gallon of plain water to Tropicana C reservoir. As she isn't quite done yet, I would rather her have a source of water if she needs or wants it. I added one of the dehumidifiers to the dark tent with Tropicana Cookies. Now the humidity is around 51% with the temp hanging out around 76° to 77°. It spiked into 79° earlier, but I was messing with the heat in my room. May 19, 2024 Busy day today. No watering or anything, but a very busy day. Tropicana Cookies was wet trimmed and chopped down today. It took 94 days total from seed to harvest. After wet trimming, her total wet weight was 14 oz. A bit surprising to me. I was honestly thinking closer to like 9 oz, but I'll take it. Trimming took roughly 4 hours. I'm not sure why, but it did. I'm slow I guess. There was no sense in trying to keep the trimmings for this round. There really wasn't much and I need a bigger table to catch it all. Messy. I've also discovered that the majority of the buds are a bit loose. Mostly the lowers and some of the middles, but the tops are mostly good. I think based on my own mistakes, I'll be using the majority of this plant for concentrate. Maybe the whole plant. We will see. It all depends on how it dries and what the end result is. Both plants were not very happy with my nutrient regimen. Oh well. A lesson well learned. Tropicana C is still floppy as ever, but now instead of a near black purple, she's almost like magenta or something. Dark pink? Lol. Something like that. She's starting to fade now and most of her tops are all colored. I'm just waiting for the fan leaves to catch up. I'll keep her in the tent for as long as I can. Maybe 3 more days? Maybe. Her buds are definitely loose in the bottoms. The mids and tops are pretty nice. We'll see how they look after wet trimming. The dry tent is hanging out at 70° and 61% humidity. I'd love it to go down to 65°, but for some reason it won't. I'll get it right in no time. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 68.3% VPD: 0.84 kPa May 20, 2024 We have fade! Tropicana C is finally starting to fade. Light green leaves coming in with purple hues. The buds are basically pink, it I expect them to get darker as she moves along. Tropicana Cookies Day 1 Drying. She looks good. Not much to report. She's drying. It could take between 5 and 7 days. Due to her smaller buds and the wet trim I did, I don't expect her to take very long to dry. And it seems that the environment is pretty nice. 61% humidity and 68°. The temperature could be lower though. Tropicana C looks good. Still super floppy, but she has pretty buds. Not very tight buds. I'll do the same wet trim as well. She should end up drying after about 5 days. For now, she's drying her soil out and fading at the same time. I might give her another half gallon just to tie her over until harvest. I also plan on defoliation in the next few days after the fade is well underway. The light is the same. No changes there. The environment is still wonky. The temp is at 74° which I finally got control of again. The humidity on the other hand is still super high at 65%. I really don't understand. It was 40% humidity out yesterday and even with the outside door wide open, the humidity did nothing to drop. Nothing at all. It's weird. It's back to being humid today, so no opening the door. Hopefully I can get it to clear up ASAP. Oh, I did just learn that the central air isn't working either. And that is the main source of cool dry air. With none, I'm stuck using a portable AC that just blows wet air back into the room when the condenser is off. Stupid design. Very stupid. Even the dehumidifier function doesn't work right. It does the same thing except with heat. So my room gets too warm but the humidity stays the same. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 67.7% VPD: 0.86 kPa May 21, 2024 Day 2 of drying for Tropicana Cookies. The whole plant shrunk to half its size. Small tight buds. As I said before, the majority of this plant will most likely be pressed. We shall see. Tropicana C is showing way more fade now. Like twice as much as yesterday. It's coming on fast and hopefully that means she's finishing up fast. I checked her trichomes today. Looking good. She definitely needs way more amber though. But has much less clear. So it's mostly cloudy, but definitely nowhere near enough amber. What's funny is how floppy she is. One would think those buds wouldn't develop properly, but they are swelling and getting more purple just like the rest of the plant. Interesting. I still don't know what happened here, but I'm guessing it has all to do with the nutrients this run. Bad timing. This plant may also be mostly pressed. Her buds aren't as dense as Tropicana Cookies and they are definitely not tight. Unless by some miracle, they blow up and fill in over the next few days. We shall see. The environment is finally leveling out now that the central air is on. Finally. It won't drop the humidity all the way to the low 40s%, but it will drop it below 55%. And that's keeps the tent below 60% and put of the danger zone for mold. However, I know it's still too high for the plant to perform at max potential, but it's the best I can do for now. Once it kicks on again, the humidity will hopefully drop to 50%, then maybe my dehumidifiers will start working as they are meant to. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 62.9% VPD: 1.00 kPa May 22, 2024 Tropicana Cookies day 3 of drying. I haven't weighed her up yet to see how far along she is. I'm really not expecting her to take very long at all. Her buds are small so she should be done in a couple more days. Tropicana C is fading quite quickly. Looking really close to finishing up. However, the Sour Diesels in the tent are already in pre-flower and are starting to stretch. The need space ASAP. So I think I'll harvest her whole tomorrow she's not very leafy and I don't think she will get mold at all. She still has super loose buds so she will dry up within 5 to 7 days I think. Even at 60% RH, I think. On the other hand, she was way too dry, so I added a half gallon to the reservoir. I was planning on harvesting in a couple days, but I don't think I have that much time anymore. Originally I was going to wet trim Tropicana C just like Tropicana Cookies, but her branches are way too weak and floppy to trim without snapping branch after branch. So as I said earlier, I'll be dry trimming her instead. The environment is back to being wonky. The central air hasn't turned on yet today and it's 85° out. So my room is suffering a bit with my crappy portable AC. It blows wet air when the compressor turns off. So the humidity is back up above 60%. The temp is fine at 75°, so I'm opening the tent periodically until the AC turns on. I also added a new trichome video for Tropicana C. Getting really close. Let me know how close I am? Or does it not really matter at this point? Update: I decided to completely defoliate Tropicana C. I don't know I will do. Full wet trim. The buds are small and so are the branches. So there shouldn't be any issues with the higher humidity. I'll be doing it in sessions as not to stink up the whole house. But basically anything with a stem I can access is getting cut off. Who knows, maybe I'll finish defoliating fst than I think and will wet trim anyway. She is definitely getting harvested tomorrow. I'm completely out of space for the Sour Diesels. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.7° RH: 59.4% VPD: 1.20 kPa May 23, 2024 Tropicana Cookies Day 4 Drying. I have a moisture meter for the stems and will be using that tomorrow to see how far along she is. Still a couple more days I think. It might be Harvest Day for Tropicana C! Honestly, I would have liked a little more time, but I have other plants that need the space. So I'm wet trimming her today and will harvest later tonight or maybe tomorrow. We shall see. Either way, she is done even if she's not. I'll take one last Trichome Video after I'm done trimming. Then I can see if she's actually ready or not. Maybe she is. I don't think so though. Not much else for today. Unless I harvest, then I'll update. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.2° RH: 60.6% VPD: 1.18 kPa

The heat and humidity is crazy this week.... ac and dehumidifier... 😱 I have been trying to get low temps at night, the lowest coming in at 17.8 C. She usually sits around 22.2 C... Day time temps even with my ballast being able to dim, sit around 31.4 C without the AC, and 27.2 C with 👺 I do have outside air vent properly in/out... just a good old heat wave.... I was thinking that is was possible my last week, but the trichs are still mostly clear even though the white hairs are maturing... Seems like Cindy sprouts new pistils everyday... I read that could be due to heat stress... which makes sense with the Heat Wave...😎 I am keeping an eye out for *bananas* since I also read that it is possible due to heat stres... don't want her herming out on me... I'll let her go for another week then start looking to put her in darkness... not sure if I'm doing 36, 48, or 72 hrs darkness... or longer... 😵 Bam! 😜

Day 28: Decided to do some LST as the dark green leaves are getting better! These babies are growing strong 💪 I am still very gentle with the feeding, and that are going to continue until more is needed Day 32: The girls have fully recovered from the LST. They already was 1 day after. Everything seems to go smooth so far

I trained them down to be more bushed out and watered with a PH of 6-6.7 and did a weekly water of Fish Shit. The humidity was at 57 then eased into a steady 52 for the rest of the week.

********** Week 2 of flower - Sept 26 to Oct 2/20 *********** It has been an exciting week with finding a crack in a main stem and started new supplemental nutrients as well. On Sept 28 I found a crack and had to do some repairs. Gorilla Girl was better off than one of the Cream 47’s with a cracked stem. GG4 was caught early enough that she didn’t separate much at the base. Looks to be as though I have caused the issue by topping the main stem a little too low😢 Coming back though and when tied together and looked after, its crazy how these plants can heal themselves😀💪👍 Took the tips from fellow growers and decided to try and fabric something with some cushion so that the straps holding the branches together don't cut into the branches. Needed another tool of the trade.......DYNAVAP to calm the nerves😀 because the grow has been going well and this set back has me pissed off as it is grower error😡 Seems to have worked out pretty well. Switching the PK booster at the end of the week to Big Bud and started to add Rezin from Green Planet. Not much for Bud Factor X left so will run with Terpinator and Rezin as a replcement. 2nd layer of SCROG netting added early in the week, Sept 27/20. They are pushing out a good amount of leaves now and stretching so need to provide that added support for down the road. IPM spray again this week, last opportunity, with Plant Therapy. There has been something in the tent and I think I have killed them. One more shot though to make sure and before there are too many bud sites. Love this product!!!!!! Works so well at getting rid of thrips and mites. Really good growth this week. I need these girls to stop now though!!!!! They getting really tall and have roughly 12” above the canopy now. The node stacking is really good and they are forming a number of colas. Looking very positive so far! This strain is so vigorous and she just want to go👍 They have gone from 18” tall to 34” in a week......crazy good growth. Little more detail........ Sept 26/20, Day 8 - Little heavier feed as they have not been watered for two days - 4L - CalMag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml - 830ppm and 5.7pH - will start to let the pH rise bit now over next couple of weeks - side branching doing very well and coming up. - GG4 a little bare in the middle of the plant with just four colas. Sept 27/20, Day 9 - 2nd SCROG layer added. - GG colas getting long........need to add more Silica as well. Sept 28/20, Day 10 - more microbes today - 4 L - Microbial Mass @ 1.5ml, CalMag @ 1ml - 290ppm and 6.3pH - pH was a little high but left it...wasn't moving and then boom,,,,,,,oh well. - Good amount of runoff today. - GG4 has one cola leaves not happy. Not sure if its light or wind. Moved the closest fan to her today. - GG1 shooting lots of branches right now. - GG4 bud stacking is happening already and doing very well. Sept 30/20, Day 12 - Heavier feeding today - 5L - CalMag, Vitathrive, Rezin @ 2ml Rhino Skin, Bud Candy, B52, Sensi Bloom @ 1ml. - repaired the cracked stem a little better tonight......not as bad for this girl. - Try and keep the paper towels wet now so the humidity is high around the wound. - Should have left a little more branch from the node above when cutting the top. Oct 1/20, Day 13 - Switching PK booster today to Big Bud......these two girls are past bud ignitor.....already stacking. - 3L - CalMag, Sensi Bloom, B52, Bud Candy, Big Bud @ 1ml - 665ppm and 5.9pH - Since these girls are so tall I am not going to give them Green Planet Massive. I find they get quite a bit taller with that product. I am looking for chunky and not tall so I will keep up with Advanced PK boost. - IPM spray tonight again with Plant Therapy. Think I have seen some bug damage on Cream 47 girls. That takes us to the end of week 11 in growth and week 2 of flower. Time will go quick now that we are off and running. Will be done feeding by early week 7. Want a good flush and leeching on these girls to get all the nutes out. I have been missing it by a few days on the last few auto runs and want this photo run to be better as I have a better track of weeks and when she will be done..........should be the end of week 9 to first days of week 10 of flower, about 7 more weeks. Cheers Growmies and have a great week. Thanks very much to Mr_Motalovah and spacecadet55 for sharing your comments on cracking the main stems. Should be avoidable next time and appreciate the knowledge🙏👍 Looking good Sweet Seeds, she is a grower and filling in already in first two weeks of flower........If you veg longer than 3 to 4 weeks, make sure you have allowed for height concerns💪

Looking good ✌️🏻

Its Day 31 the last day of flower all plants are more than ready for 12/12 I will increase the light on the First flower Day to 100% to minimize stretch

High Level From Eva Seeds 13 weeks of Veg completed 13th of Jan 2020 So last week was aproximately the Half Way mark for this Grow and Ive started to prepare for the Flowering stage by adding support lines (plant yo-yo's) to the Branches. Both plants are looking good and I fed them both a feed of some of the DR Greenthumbs "High tea" that I brewed up over the last 24 hours. At the month of this Month (Jan) I'll start to add the Dr Greenthumbs Bud & Bloom soil Booster that is part of the Full "Super Soil" Kit. I'm hoping for a Good haul off these two girls , especially plant 1 so I need to provide all the energy I can to the Girls during the Flowering stage. Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back next week. 👍

Aug 29th - entering week 4 of Flower for CloudWalker and rOOF95 - PurpsBerry enters week 9 of Flower. Looking at her today,!if this monsoon does not happen -Purps fed and she looks amazing. Possible flush next week. Samples to be taken this week for microscope assessment Sept 4th - last day of week 4 for rOOF95 and CloudWalker - PurpsBerry gets inspected today, could be close to Harvest for her

Got everything moved around & the new carbon filter, fans & lights so hopefully I got better coverage with less power👍🏼 Topped 1 of the Gelato OGs today was getting way taller than the rest we will see how she bounces back! Everything else seems to be going great! Day 22 topped & trimmed them up a bit Day 23 started LST on a few Day 24 started mainline on one of the GZ Day 25 trimmed them a little more today

And the winner is….. Divine Kush! To say the least, she fought the most and she really shined through. If you see the video above 👆 you can see how wowed we are by her, not only because she sprouted her own seed within herself but also because it shows how much moisture she had to deal with and she sort of found an interesting way to disperse of it! We did try to plant her seedling but unfortunately it did not survive but we are still in awe of it happening before our eyes. Nature is amazing and Our Kushy girl is very much appreciated, she has taught us quite a bit this year. WOW 🤩💚✌️ Plz note, we totally forgot to weigh her.

Blue gelato 41 took a little work to figure out her likes and dislikes but it was definitely worth the wait , the smoke is smooth and potent as hell, She seems to need a lot of light, the tops by far and away blow the lower growth out the water, I won't make the mistake of having her in a corner of the tent again knowing her potency and flavour 😎👌💪👍 Enjoy this girl if you give her a try growmies 😎

The Ladys are now in their last week and only going to be flushed without nutrients till harvest

Well this will be these girls last week, they are supposed to be early versions with a 5 week flowering time, according to the package anyway. 5 weeks = 35days....lol I didn’t think they would be this quick, but when I looked at Delicious Seeds website it says 45-55 days... so we aren’t actually that far over. But they are definitely ripening up and we are low on supply, hence why we went with the 5 week strain in this tent this time...lol so these girls are gonna get chopped to make room for the new girls coming into the tent and get us some smoke for the time being so we can do a proper 9-10 weeks on my Banana Bomb. I continued the flush through last week and they are fading out a bit, some more then others. The one bigger plant still seems to be behind but is starting to get some decent buds going, I would like to do a few more weeks on her but she is coming down with the rest. Well that’s it for this week, took lots of pics. Next update will be Harvest! Cheers! 💨

Flower moving along. Added big bud from advanced nutrients to res on day 39. EC is 2.9 DLI is 60.
