Grow Diaries Report: Flower Week 1 – Stretch Madness & Heavy Grooming 🌿🚀 Week 9 – Flower Week 1 Update The flowering phase has officially kicked off, and wow, this plant is on a mission to touch the sky! The stretch this week has been intense, with the plant shooting up significantly. To manage her vigor and focus her energy on bud production, I’ve had to step in with defoliation and additional lollipopping. This Week’s Highlights Massive Stretch: The plant stretched dramatically this week, filling up the vertical space in the tent. Defoliation: I removed a significant amount of fan leaves to improve light penetration to the lower branches. Lollipopping Redux: Further cleaned up the lower parts of the plant, focusing her resources on the top colas. What I Did Lollipopping: Removed more of the lower branches and leaves that were unlikely to contribute to bud production. Defoliation: Took off some large fan leaves to improve airflow and light exposure throughout the canopy. Nutrients: Continued with the bloom feeding schedule, ensuring a balance of phosphorus and potassium for flower development. Environment Management: Adjusted the light height to prevent light burn and tweaked the fan placement to improve airflow in the now more open canopy. Observations The plant’s stretch has been both impressive and challenging, but the defoliation and lollipopping seem to be working. The top canopy looks well-lit and primed for flower development. No signs of stress from the grooming, which is always a relief during such an aggressive stretch. Challenges The rapid vertical growth is pushing the limits of the grow tent. I’ll need to monitor her closely to prevent overcrowding or light burn. Next Steps Keep monitoring the stretch over the next week—potential supercropping if necessary to control height. Fine-tune the nutrient schedule to ensure the plant has everything it needs as bud sites develop. Maintain low humidity to reduce the risk of mold or mildew during early flowering. Conclusion The first week of flowering has been an explosive start! The stretch is real, but with proper management, she’s looking set to develop some fantastic buds in the weeks ahead. 🌟 Any tips for managing a stretch-happy plant in a tight grow tent? Drop your advice below! 😊

1st week of flower....the girls are looking great and are all confirmed females yayyy...I will definitely a little and let the ladies be happy this gon be some good quality medicine

Another week of veg for our Fast Version B from super sativa seeds club. At the beginning of the week we gave some bactrex and orgatrex from biotabs. The plant is evolving good! Nice and green

A florecer 🏵️

Tsking to there new pots well

Started with LST and did extreme defoliation. Plants were pretty healthy so they will recover soon.

Week 6 of flower about another 2 to 3 weeks to go . Buds are forming Nicely but I’ve been a little heavy on the nutrients so I’m trying to remedy that .

The stretch has gone nuts... Growth has been amazing... Nothing to really complain about besides they're hungry hungry hungry lol

This week the flowers really started to come out. Got some nice closeups on their formation. Video includes a quick rundown of the nutrient line and supplements. Apologies for the sideways viewing, going to straighten out all the videos soon.

i should had defoliated plant 2 (one on left) a lot more in earlier stages, a lot of the canopy is leaf that is blocking airflow and light there is a video there which you need to flick through the pictures to see it

HulkBerry placed 2 days in dark * Check the trichomes for amber * After first amber trichomes switch off the lights, leave it in the dark for 2 days * Watering 2l every 3 days * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops

She’s finally finished I’m so happy to have her. She smells like red starburst and zkittlez. She taste like she smells. I’m very happy how she turned out. Beautifully. Super sweet and right up my alley. Fastbuds hits it out of the park once again!

First week went well, got two plants in coco coir and one in soil. One of the plants in potting soil came up a day after the other two but they’re doing fine

4. Woche So langsam geht es voran, sie wurde mittlerweile 3x getoppt und ich lass sie so jetzt wachsen, jetzt darf sie Groß und Stark werden 😀

Never quite made it in time for the competition, but ah well guess she’ll just have to be judged on how she looks now. Smells absolutely amazing a really sweet candy smelling srtain. A week or two left to go I think, looking foward to the harvest.

Vamos a tirar la moneda y probar una White Widow Regular en un mini pot, mi taza del desayuno. Espero que salga bien para poder llevar al concurso que hay en juego. 📅Dia 1: Se siembra en sustrato reutilazado de una planta que se me cayó y se riega con agua. Ec 259 Ph 6.5 📅Dia 2: No se asoma nada 😵😵😵 📅Dia 3: Ha tomado vida por fin 😁🤪 📅Dia 4: pulverizo con agua 🌱 🚿 Ec250 ph 6.5 📅 Dia 5: Low stress para dar forma 😈 📅 Dia 6: Descanso 😴😴😴

Started adding fertilizers Divine Grow. Nice! I like it

Everything is running great so far. I'm preferring the control of the flower period and all the girls flowering at the same time. It was a real pain with the autoflowers having them all at different stages, so the photoperiods are much better for that I've started with cal mag from day one to counter the soft water and everything seems to be working perfect up to now. Not a single sign of deficiency or burn
