New week starts!
π21.11.2022 light smelling started. I kame home today to smell thin delicious aroma my babies producing. It's good and bad in a same time! I gave them their first real dose of ph6.05 GHE nutrients in a proportions so called: 'First true leaves' and sprayed them with 'GHE SeaWeed' solution.
(Nutrients input was ph6, drainage - ph6.5)
π22.11.2022
New photos downloaded.
I sprayed my Bananas with 'GHE Sea weed' once more and moist the upper layer of a substrate with it.
My BPPa#1 is slightly smaller then her sister. She have thinner leaves and lower length. But she producing her brunches faster then BPPa#2. Second plant is thicker and higher and her new side brunches are smaller. Now I wonder who'll be larger in the end of this run.
π23.11.2022
No watering, only spraying with 'GHE SeaWeed' solution and moisture the upper substrate layer. My moist sensor for soil showing the beginning of a green sector. So watering will be tomorrow.
π24.11.2022
I watered my plants by ph5.9 full pack of fertilisers GHE (amount in a table). Luckily, soil ph starts to fall and today it's somewhere near ph6.8 mark.
My babies are slowing down in the main stem growth, I think it's all because there are a lot of side brunches rising up. When they'll form it well and their leaves will became darker - I'll change nutrients proportions to so called 'Vegitation' and add 'GHE Diamond nectar' + 'GHE Silicate'. Also, tomorrow I'll spray them with 'GHE Protect' solution instead of 'Sea Weed' because they're still on the early stage of veg.
π25.11.2022
Today is 'dry' day.
I sprayed my flowers with 'GHE Protect' solution. Nothing new, only one thing: they are awesooooome!
Tomorrow there will be 'SeaWeed' spraying, watering will go on sunday.
UPD: Asked the advice thru the 'Grow questions' option and started LST already - as a result. Today I can't bend them more, because I watered them yesterday - their trunks are full of juices and I'm afraid they'll crack in a half. Tomorrow I will bend them a little more, and the next day after, I hope, they will be lying on their backs like a puppies.
Thank You for Your help, grow mates!πͺπͺπͺ
π26.11.2022
I sprayed my beautiful girls with 'GHE SeaWeed' solution and moisture the upper layer of substrate with it.
Also, I made LST a little more. Substrate ph still near ph7, but they looks healthy and strong. So I'll go with ph6 solution tomorrow and wait them to produce more roots to regulate their environment.
π27.11.2022
Some more LST today and 'Sea Weed' spraying. Girl #2 is lying on it's back already, but BPPa #2 is smaller and her stem is shorter. I can't bend it down till she'll grow a bit more. Now waiting for one more floor to grow.
Week ends.

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need.
But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year.
Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily.
The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space.
With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done.
They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro.
Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark.
Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures!

Day 43/56: Hi growmies. We are rolling along nicely with the flowering period of these Expert ladies.
The Mimosa Lemon continues to look huge from a distance but like any political party , up close it doesn't have a lot of substance to it. I suppose the Mimosa will prove herself in a few weeks time unlike our political elite !. lol
She is a beautiful lemony scent that is a sweet and not acidic aroma. Her flowers are single pods with pistils clearly visible jnstead of the usual melded in sacs pushing the white hairs we are used to seeing
I think she will be a very potent lady and base that in how she is raatinf resin and oils so far
she will be a pain to trim and dry with her possible finish but would be a perfect candidate for extractions. I have started her on the shogun Dragon force for the next part of their cycle and am hopeful of a good finish with her. Swell weeks ahead !.
Glueberry has continued to get her groove on with some very nice sticky and fruity buds buried among the bushy girls frame. I do regret not doing a defol but she was in recovery from the underwatering I had been doing and would have been possibly stunted more She has such a sweet/diesel tune to her now amdnreminds me so much of her gg4 lineage ( personal ,desert island strain by choice.lol) She has a lot of growth within her small frame but getting light below decks is not easy with her bushiness.
she will be an interesting yield hopefully.
I have also now started their week using the Shogun Dragon force finisher. I do rate this product and their whole range and as a user for many years now , I had hoped they would sponsor a grow with a complete @shogunnutrients run. here's hoping!!!. lol
The Dragon force will replace their normal feed for a week. it provides a boost to the usual slowing down period at the flowering cycles near end point. When fade out begins to show , it can re invigorate them with balanced ratios that this part of the cycle needs and stop the plant decimating her stores and power plant, fan leaves . There is nothing I find less attractive than a "2 week flushed" plant that really needed the green chlorophyll to help finish the push to survive. It can miss the beneficial oil and rescue attempt to keep her last flush and hope of survival , alive.
We adopt many odd techniques that induce major stress at the near end of the cycle in the hope of creating a final push of thc and oil. Things like stem splitting or snapping the mains a few days before harvest to simulate an animal attempting to eat them. This product offers the same without the risk for me.
So there we have it this update folks. A good week and only about 20 days to go . fingers crossed I keep mould at bay till then.

Well I cut down my beauty ms. lemon haze, she was such an amazing plant! She is very easy to grow and isnβt to demanding. She goes with the flow as long as you feed her and give her enough light. She ended up producing some seeds, during the process. I noticed when I started cutting her big fan leaves, that a few buds had some seeds inside them. Her buds still look amazing! And the seeds look great. However, here are some pics of her drying process I will let yβall know how much ended up on the scale before I burp her. Again everyone thanks for watching the grow up. ππΎπ₯π±

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) β Daily Tasks
Evening (Lights On)
Check environment (temp 24β27Β°C, RH 55β60%).
Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies.
Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K.
Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans).
Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites).
Check for early signs of stretch finishing.
Evening (Before Lights Off)
Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period.
π In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites.
Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

Week5
March 1st day 30

March 2nd transplanted the other one (broken branch one) my shop didnβt have 3.0πππππππ so i used DNC Great Lakes water only soil hopefully this works and I mixed some 3.0 I had left from the other pot cross fingers for nice transition to its new home
March 5 been three days since transplant canβt really tell if they adapted to there new homes yet some sings of stretching since transplant Iβve never transplanted before and Iβm not sure if they need water or not so imma chill let them go for couple more days then Iβll water scared to over water them right now since I transplanted them donβt want to over stress them other one in 3.0 seems little droopy to me compared to the one in Great Lakes but Great Lakes soil seems bit dry sooooo idk Iβm going keep an eye on them

Ive been flushing around 7 days now and the first leaves are starting to fade,in around 5-10 days it will be ready to chop.
I've also harvested a couple branches early with cloudy/clear trichomes to hold me over and make room for new strains to start vegging in the tent.
This is by far my best run of this strain and smelliest , im not entirely sure if my skills and equipment have gotten better or this phenotype is just especially good.

Thinking of pulling this whole run at this point, the stems are in a bad way and general structure has really suffered.
FIM'd both girls this week & gave compost tea(ecothrive biosys) to aid recovery. Will make a decision on growing them out depending on how they respond.
(Update end of week.)
So in the first week these girls stretched terribly, instead of riding it out and letting them adjust I tried a trick I've applied with tomatoes in the garden and coiled an inch of the excess under the surface and covered it.
After a burst of invigorating from the microbe tea(biosys) these girls seem to be recovering from the stress fairly well. The only down side, the stems have broken the surface and left me with these crazy bonsai style stems & the girls are very short and bushy, concerned the stems won't hold any weight later in life..
Will give this another week and make my decision
TLDR; Don't interfere with nature when you can help it, especially with autoflowers.
Update day 28 from sprout.
Bbk1 showing signs of nitrogen toxicity after perking up, I had to use the bottle measure last week instead of a syringe. Much less accurate so assume this is the cause, just ph water for a while.
Bbk2 perking up slightly. I did think these girls looked a funny shape and now I can see the stem properly its starting to make sense π€¦ββοΈπ€£π€£

Flushing begins for the Og kush and blueberry. All three plants are incredibly sticky, stanky, dense and heavy! The OG Kush plants are blowing my mind, I'm amazed at how much they have fattened up the last week.
The super lemon haze starts week 7 and is also sticky and stanky, she's also starting to pack on weight and density.

Well after different bits of advice last week I decided to take fast buds advice and keep feeding, she's on day 70 now all her leaves are fading, I'm guessing this is just because she is coming to the end of her cycle,.. still not sure when to start flushing as fast reckoned there was 3-4 weeks left that was 7 days ago so now still 2-3,.. I reckon 1 more week of food but just what I've put on the nutrient list nomore and then start a flush, just to say I appreciate all and any advice given to me I just followed fastbuds advice as I thought probably safest option. Thanks everyone. Roll on next week π

Shes growing ok. Green and healthy branches and leaves.
She growing more like a sativa, sativa hybrid
tall and branchy, manageable fan leaves
but because of that she started to get some light burn.
Dont have my tent yet so i cant adjust my light any higher so i tried
to lower the plant down a little
So hoping she can do without super direct light for another day or so.
Other than that shes looking healthy.
11/30
It wouldnt let me do veg and flower in the same week
on the diary so i just split it up in here.
Two busy days.
Tent came i!! which im super excited about
because now i flip the girls to flower.
It wouldnt let me do veg and flower in the same week
on the diary so i just split it up in here.
I spent tuesday putting the tent together
and dropped a video of the new setup because
im REALLY excited about.
got the ladies nice and cozy. Started them on 12/12.
Its my first time on an indoor grow so i hope it works out well
She still has a little of light burn
but shes still green everywhere else
was able to get the light another foot higher
after i moved everything.
12/1
topped dressed with some happy frog soil
Worm casting amount is the only thing i couldnt find a good ratio for
So ill say i mixed about a quarter of the amount of soil
into about 1 to 2 gallons of top soil
i had some down to earth
dry amendments i mixed in with that soil as well.
i couldnt tell how much soil exactly.
I only put in 5 tsp of great white instead of the recommended 7
because i switched the bloom nutes and i didnt wanna over do it
i couldnt tell how much soil exactly.
Fed them some flowering nutes, but cut back
on the amount of nutes by a lot.
Decided im going to just follow what biobizz instructions
say from now on so apparently less is better.
started the bloom and the top max kept everything else the same
and cut out the fish mix for flower, added great white at the end.
Defoliated the bottom few branches and cleaned them up. Nothing to major.
12/2
Temp of tent is steady at 70, 71 degrees.
thats a little bit lower than id like but ill
figure out something in the next few days.
Took the bottom branches and leaves the night before and
Wanted to give it a night of rest before i defoliated the big leaves.
Took most of them off but left the few at the top of the plant.
Looking extremely green. Hoping i get to see some pistils soon.
