Day 63 of growth, day 40-43 of flowering Big shoutouts all around🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💯💯💯💚💚💚 My seed sponsors: @fast_buds and @atlasseed My friends at @seedsman for the amazing hookups from their line of 🔥🔥🔥 autos. Thanks to @aeromixer for allowing me to be an ambassador for them(I hope I'm doing at least half as good a job for them as their pump is for me😁) The girls absolutely love the Bar2400 from @sunraise I'm hopeful that it will keep up in the new 4x4. I also want to show appreciation to @sensorpushtech and @inkbird_us for helping me get my environment under control. Thank you🙏🏼 As many of you know, if you've followed along long enough, I'm a bit disabled and and even more broke💸😕 With that being said, sponsors and friends are a big part of the content I can bring to you. So I could not be more grateful for these people. But I'm also thankful for those of you who follow me and like my content, and show support that way. My deepest gratitude goes out to all of my supporters 🙏🏼💯💚🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

9/29 Wow that NYCSA is probably the healthiest plant I've ever grown.ive researched more on the strain. I researched flower time and it is 8 to 10 weeks! Tichs are starting to turn milky. Hairs are turning a little amber. I FIMMED this and it turned out beautiful with like five colas. The little 5lb kush is done. It's about the densest buds I've grown. We have a few days of good weather so I may leave it for a few days. I was considering another app of plant doctor but held off. If I see ANY wpm I'll apply it. Going to hit the NYCSA with cha ching again. Probably one more feed. Grow big should've been taken out a couple weeks ago. Seeing this plant grow so healthy solidifies my new grow area. I even found two or three aphids! Obviously there are no earwigs or their wouldn't be ANY aphids. Nor buds near the stalk. I've got two little quarter size buds at the bade of the plant and those would be gone. Blueberry turned out great. Can't believe it made it through the fusarium outbreak. UPDATE: I think the little 9lb kush is done. Both by the trichs and the shape of the bud. The next few days are supposed to be really good though so I might just let it ride. That NYCSA has continued to surprise me. Strong odor resinous buds. Still blond hairs that have just started to change but the buds are really stacking up. This is one of the healthiest plants I've had so its going the distance. The buds are swelling and trichs getting milking bit the hairs are still blond. I'm hoping for another both swell. When I FIMMED this it ended up coning out perfect with like five tops. I'll have to post a picture of the limb skeleton. I can't take the anxiety with the rippers and letting things go till perfection so I've started keeping the plants inside. I guess that's one benefit if a small grow bag lol. 10 gal us a lot easier to move than 50. I was upset that I lost so much but in very grateful for what I still have. 9/30 Harvested the 9lb kush today. Trichomes say it's done. The buds haven't been getting any bigger either. It is coated in trichomes (approx 15%-20% amber) and extremely dense. I'll save details for the harvest report. FED the NYCSA kf gallon. I used only Cha Ching and Silica. I'm not sure if it should be hit one more time with plant doctor or not. I'm not seeing mold or pm. It says up till day OF harvest and has instructions for medical cannabis. The trichs on this NYCSA have swelled and are filled in super milky. Amber on leaves. I think the FIM might be deceiving me as so many tops are going to be smaller than one large cola. It also has blond hairs all over it. They ARE pulling in a bit but the plant doesnt look ready to me. No senescence but It's one of the healthiest plants I've ever grown. Temps dip into the low 30s at night. I will keep thos diary updated. I need to get my ass in gear and trim my blueberry so I can do the harvest report. I grew it last year too. Turned out better this year. Still have buds on tge blueberry plant that I want to use to show the damage earwigs do. Even to fully mature buds with tons of trichs that should protect them. 10/1 This may have been a shitty season and I lost ALMOST everything to fusarium but I'm grateful for what I do have. Quality over quantity this time. The NYCSA goes inside at night. Trichs are all milky af buds are dense af. This girl has a week or two left. I'm young to pet nature dictate this harvest. I know this is a long flowering strain so I'm letting it ride. Very few of the yellow pistols started turning red. 10/2 Another super sunny day. I'm go8ng to have to water soon. Wondering if I should do one more app of plant doctor before I harvest. I saw a smidgen of pm on a very lower inner leaf. I think the plant needs a week or two. It's tricky. Trichs say its done and buds are swelled but the pistols haven't changed color yet. A VERY few have but hardly any and I've got all milky trichs and super rock hard buds. Frost warning today and tomorrow but I'm putting the last one inside at night. I check it multiple times a day. Should be OK. 10/3 Last couple nights were freezing! Car was all iced up this morning. Good thing I put the last girl in the barn. She was absolutely perfect except for a few spots of pm down low. I bring a loupe everyday things change so fast. However since this plant is so healthy and has no problems I'm letting it ride until I feel it's perfect. Another hard frost tonight but the days are AWESOME. Just pure sun! Pistols are receding but haven't changed colors yet amd are still light orange. Some have died and turned red. The trichomes are full and milky with a few amber. I know that NYCSA is a long flowering strain. Looking at the structure of the flowers and the thickness if it's not done it's really close. I gave it some water today. About half a gallon. I was wondering I'd I should give it one more dose of plant doctor before I harvest. I think I've got a week or so left. I'm uncertain if I should use it or not. The pm was very space amd I wiped it off with a paper towel and alkaline water. The lb kush I harvested looks and smells amazing. I can't wait to try it. 10/4 Super cold last night. I waited to bring the plantvout until 8am and the temp only rose to 35 from 31 at 6am. Checked trichs again amd they look perfect. My only hesitation is that pistols haven't changed color and I noticed that SOME die and turn a bright red. The others pulled into the bud but stayed a more yellowish color than orange. I can't find any I go on this strain New York City Skunk Ape. I found the breeder which is from Maine. I think it's goonie genetics and its 10 week flower I think. This is a tough one. We have some sunny weather coming and it won't be too cold. I'll bring it inside at night. I did notice negligible amounts of pm on lower portion of plant. I defoliated but I didn't want to do the plant doctor as it's been so cold. Last few days have been all hard freezes. Below 30°F. I'll check on this later. If possible I'd like it to get all the sun it can. I'm just running out of time. Checked the relative humidity with not a cloud in sight and iys all sunny but the rh is 88%! No wonder we have a problem with mold. It I didn't think I'd be harvesting in a couple days I'd use plant doctor again. I'll make that decision later. It will at least get today's sunshine. EDIT: TODAY WAS THE DAY. She came down. Trichs were milky turning amber and the buds were fat as hell. I'm not risking anything else and I doubt I'd gain anything anyway. This girls telling me she's done so I listened. I'll be updating that harvest report soon. So excited for this strain!

These girls are getting bigger and bigger every day. I’d say week five is the beginning of pre-flower. I started with a very low dosage of nutrients to see how they will respond. I’ve had to tie them down quite a bit but it has helped branch out new nodes and Bud sites that are comparable in size to the main cola. With the small environment I’m growing in I’ve also had to do a large amount of leaf tucking. The EC and PH of the runoff was pretty spot on, I was around 800ppm, 1.6ec, and the ph was around 6.0. Overall I’d say that these plants are a hell of a lot happier than my other plants in the different medium. This is the Miller soils organic ammended soil, which is pretty decent but I prefer to control most of my grows so next time around I will be using either bio bizz light mix or light mix with 40%-50% coco and added perlite or pumice. I want to really see the full potential of these advanced nutrients products and see how they compare to other brands/amending with basic dry organics. I have so many seeds to play with so I will have a lot of diaries coming soon after these are harvested 😉

Day 35 is here. We are a week into flower and most the plants are just starting to hit that flowering stretch. I have been bending them down a little every couple days, but I need to focus on cleaning up some of the bottom branches so we can keep good air flow through the plants. Will work on that through this next week. I haven't done a water change, just been topping off the reservoir with fresh nutrients as they drink it up. Feeding half and half maxigro and maxibloom. Will cut out the maxigro in a couple weeks when I notice their stretch slowing down. I had a plant overflow this week because the drain line is getting full of roots. I noticed a couple roots have made their way into the reservoir already. I set a pump timer to 1 minute on and 20 minutes off so they can drain properly. I would like to make it through the grow without having to mess with the drains, but we will see what happens. I will make some modifications if needed. Other than that everything is running smooth and I hope we have some little pistils to show by next week. Thanks for stopping by ✌️

Day 66 : Lady is fattening. I increased nitrogen (bio-grow) in order to fix some deficiencies. Also i removed Calcium this week. She is a bit behind, maybe 4 weeks, i don't know. Trichomes production just started. Edit Day 70 : She takes weight but not so fast, trichomes develop is slow, and i assume that she is stressed because of air flow on her for much time. I hope she pass this situation. I increased Biogrow to 5.4 ml / L. The other doses remain the same.

The plants continue to kick ass. New French Macaron and Chem Brulee leaves are all 9-fingered now. Crazy happy plants. Sprayed with light BT spray (trying to avoid any caterpillar issues this year as much as possible) early in the week. Sprayed with light Neem Oil / Castile Soap (no more dawn, no more issues!) late in the week. Today, June 9, I also defoliated a bit. Keep in mind that I don't want to do much this year as far as topping and training, so I've done one simple top on all of the plants, and essentially have created 4 main colas for each plant. I only did this to create some airflow under the plant. I don't plan on doing a lot of this stuff. Gonna let the sunshine do her thing. Even though these girls have some hot-ass super soil in there, I'm still going to be doing some top-dressing. Mixed this up and slathered it on there on Saturday, June 12. ------

day 11 from germination 5 litres to the pots with different ph between 6.2-6.5 with 0.5 MLG bio grow for litr. day 12 from germination its my bad day I noticed that my plants are very stretched and Fragile; compared to their peers that I saw on the site, are very behind. I think the reason is that I got a 110 watt Amazon lamp, put it 100 cm away and gave them a lot of fertilizer and water. To solve this problem, I ordered a spider sf 1000 and i gathered the soil of pots from the side and poured it around the stem (And I brought the air to 20 c°, which I do not know is correct or not). Current situation: Plants are giving new leaves and I see a tendency to grow in them. My question is, are my plants very backward for 12 day after germination? Do you think that if plants are not going to grow enough and their start flowering quickly when their are still small plants, it is not better to throw these away and plant new seeds? Does it cause the amount of yield to decrease?Or I still have a chance to fix it? There is a way to increase their growth period? After I buried the stems and changed their height from 14cm to 8cm, can the stems have new roots? And that now a few cm empty flowerpots do the roots have enough space to grow according to the photos? Thank you very much for your help. day14: Today is the 14th day and the last day of the second week. Today I installed the fan and ventilation and a new lamp arrived Spider Farmer sf1000. Very high humidity, someone can help me. And that there is a way to grow four plants with this lamp? Do not miss today's video.

Starting to really be thirsty. Soon as I started the nutrients they started drinking almost twice as much water. Did some low stress training this week and probably continue tying back and levelling through the next two weeks. Since it’s an empty tent right now really letting them stretch out ;p

Start of week 9. Buds are filling out nicely, but trichomes are still mostly clear. Breeder says 8-10 weeks so im hoping they are ready in the next week. Both are starting to show a little bit of the leaves fading, not sure if its normal or the start of some sort of deficiency. Super strong smell on both phenos. I was expecting alot more in terms of weight but the quality dies look great. Cant wait! 💨💨

0.1) Observação Geral Todo o cultivo foi conduzido com monitoramento constante e ajustes precisos de intensidade luminosa (DLI e PPFD), temperatura e umidade, garantindo condições ideais em cada estágio do desenvolvimento. 1) Substrato e Nutrientes O cultivo foi realizado utilizando água mineral com pH balanceado durante todo o ciclo. Fase vegetativa: fertilização com BioGrow. Floração: alimentação com Flowermind. A mistura do solo foi composta por 50% de substrato reutilizado, rico em nutrientes do cultivo anterior, e 50% de novo solo (proporção 70/15/15), resultando em uma base equilibrada e fértil. 2) Germinação – 19 de agosto As sementes foram germinadas utilizando água mineral + peróxido de hidrogênio em copinhos de gelatina individuais. Permaneceram por 24 horas na solução líquida, seguidas de 24 horas no escuro total sobre papel toalha umedecido com a mesma água, dentro do mesmo recipiente. Os copos foram abertos apenas a cada 12 horas, em ambiente de baixa luminosidade. Todas as sementes germinaram com sucesso. As sementes com raízes de aproximadamente 2 cm foram transferidas para vasos de 1 litro, com adição gradual de substrato conforme o crescimento das plântulas, prevenindo o tombamento dos caules. 3) Fase de Plântula a) Conduzida sob lâmpadas de 35W e 50W dentro de uma caixa de papelão personalizada, equipada com coolers e exaustor para controle de temperatura. b) Aplicação de FORT (enraizador) em uma rega, após o aparecimento do primeiro conjunto de folhas com cinco pontas. 4) Topping – 10 de setembro Foi realizado o primeiro corte apical para incentivar maior ramificação e uma distribuição mais equilibrada de energia. 5) LST (Low Stress Training) – iniciado em 13 de setembro O treinamento começou três dias após o topping, com amarrações graduais dos ramos para promover a abertura do dossel e melhor penetração de luz. 6) Transplante – 27 de setembro Transplante realizado para vasos de 4 litros, com rega leve e adaptação gradual à nova base de substrato. 7) Início da Floração (Troca para 12/12) – 6 de outubro O fotoperíodo foi ajustado para 12 horas de luz e 12 horas de escuridão, marcando o início oficial da fase de floração. 8) Defoliação – 10 de outubro Remoção estratégica das folhas grandes de ventilador (fan leaves) para melhorar a circulação de ar, otimizar a distribuição de luz e estimular o desenvolvimento dos buds. pment.
