Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! According to the trichomes the Blue cheese is already overdue for harvest but i wanted her to grow as big as i could ;) You can see the trichomes photos i know its a bad quality but im actually happy i maneged to take them pictures It was a pain in the arse to make them photos as bad as they are xD On Black Friday i ordered a better quality microscope with options of taking photos so in future harvests it will improve. I started the flush just yesterday and plan to dark her on the 5th of december (or so) As you can clearly see thanks to my great skill and experience in growing i managed to match the plants leaves with the colours of the actual golden grater ;P What a great achievement and view to beholde :D It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps. That's it for this week folks, have a wonderful week and please come beck visit in a week for the chopping of this work of gardening art :)

Exciting week the plants are all out of germination and into their veg growth stage. This means we get to begin the exciting work of building our soil. When the plants veg growth reaches the tips of the pots, this indicates the roots also have and your plant is then ready for more room. We have a fantastic grow shop in town that is great about soil classes and teaching you some great essentials. We plan on utilizing this resource and will keep you updated with the progress of the soil build. Stay tuned for compost tea as well ;) Stopped by the grow shop to get the run down on the soil build. Because building your own soil creates hot soil, it needs to sit for 6-8 weeks. This obviously won't work for our purposes on this grow. After some deliberation we decided to go with a pre built soil that has already sat and composted. We are going to go with Build A Soil because they have done tons of research into their super soils. We want to do a super soil so that we don't have to top dress or add in any nutrients, we want the grow to be as natural as possible. After looking at Build A Soil's options we are leaning toward the L.O.S. OLY Recipe. This recipe uses 33% OLY Mountain fish compost. We want each plant to be able to finish out in the pots that we switch them into from their nursery pots. I recently found a new grow bag that we are going to try out for this next grow. It is a bag so it has a much larger circumference than the grow pots. It also has a lining on the sides of the grow bag so that it doesn't dry out from the sides like normal grow bags. This is our ideal growing situation because we are trying to simulate earth. When a plant is in the ground in the earth it doesn't dry out from the sides, we don't want our plants to either. The bags are very large (15 gal) but we don't want to fill to the top, in case we need to top dress more soil in the future. We use one cubic foot bag of soil per plant per container. This change will happen tomorrow at the turn of the week. Starting week two of Veg growth we will be in the containers that we finish in. This means minimal transplant stress and much less room for human error effecting my medicine.

I cut down plant #2 last week, dried the bud and put it in jars for curing. Plant #1 still has a ways to go. It's starting to smell better (before there wasn't much of a smell), I haven't spotted any amber trichomes and the pistils are still mostly white and stretching. I'm only feeding it plain, tap water and will see what happens. I'll keep you posted!

5/11 - 5/17: I topped a couple shoots early in the week and have her in full LST submission..sprawling nicely.๐Ÿ‘Œ I watered her once really well at the start of the week with endoboost, humic acid, silica, cal-mag, molasses, and big bloom...and a little bit of grow big. I foliar fed with boom boom spray one day, and a solution of fulvic acid, cal-mag, big bloom, sweet & sticky, and silica a few days. It rained really heavy on the night of the 15th, so I won't be watering again anytime soon. I topped another of her shoots on the 14th and about an hour later, I realized that I should have taken it as a cutting..I'll have enough soil for a few plants in 3 gallon pots, and from what everybody says, I'd be very happy with some more jars of #5. I spent all 3 seeds to grow this one plant, so I'll try rooting some clones of her soon...๐Ÿ‘ˆ This week I received my new portable outdoor misting fan and hoses and got it set up on a timer with just airflow while the lights are on, and once the temps reach about 95f regularly, I'll have my hose timer let 10 minutes of water every 2 hours get misted across the canopy. It should lower the "real feel" by about 25-30 degrees and increase RH considerably. Also hoping that the constant airflow will make them stronger and keep insects off of them somewhat. It will also enable me to easily give them a blow dry if it rains in late flower. But wait...that's not all....it's also gonna be very much more enjoyable for me to sit in the garden and do my thang. ๐Ÿ‘

It is never to late for a better house. I got a brand new #MarsHydroGrowTend 1m square and an Inline Duct Fan and Filter, so I decide to move everyone inside, even though the girls have only few days to go. I will be monitoring them close, just to check how they will react to the new environment. Day 56 - The plants are developing nice buds even thought the plant 1 still not recovering from whatever she has. I did water them with 1mL of Bio Grow/Boom/Top-Max, Let's see if it makes any difference in the next few days

Sono mancato 15 giorni e purtroppo se lasci un compito a chi non sa recepire i segnali di Aiuto guardando le foglieโ€ฆ. Credo sua un over fertilizzanti perciรฒ ho fatto immediatamente un risciacquo ad entrambe le due davanti Le altre 4 sono delle Gorilla Glue e sono state messe a dimora il giorno 18/10 inizio fase germinazione Le altre 2 hanno 10 giorni di piรน e speriamo si riprendano Che direโ€ฆ buona fortuna a me che ne ho bisogno ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜„

5/23/2023 Week 7- Day 1 of Flower (Day 110 overall) (Day 49 of Flower) There was a couple of small super small sucker buds on the lower stocks that needed to be cleaned off but that was it. Just watching them Flower!! 5/24/2023 Week 7- Day 2 of Flower (Day 111 overall) Tucked a few fan leaves below lower buds but didn't see any blatant offenders that needed to be removed. I typically do start my checks in Week 8 but since this is a new strain I decided to go ahead and do a Trichome check just to see what was what.. Just as I thought nothing but clear glassy Trichomes. I will check again in one week.... 5/25/2023 Week 7- Day 3 of Flower (Day 112 overall) Just letting them grow today!! Smell is getting stronger I would say it is a hint of Pine and a heavier fruity smell. 5/26/2023 Week 7- Day 4 of Flower (Day 113 overall) I did Nothing but took some pics and I enjoyed it!!!! It is nice to be able to just sit back and watch them on auto pilot.. :-) Tomorrow Water Change Day!! 5/27/2023 Week 7- Day 5 of Flower (Day 114 overall) I admit it.. I had to defoliate a little bit.. I looked in while changing the water today and there were just a couple blatant offenders blocking the light from lower bud sites and those leaves they just had to go. Other than that I changed the water and this week is where I drop everything and start preparing them for this last phase of the grow. Loving a few of these buds they are starting to beef out very nicely. I added 36 gallons Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 166Mil LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil TPS SIGNAL= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil Water Temp= 70.1 Tent Temp= 76 Humidity =64 ** I have two dehumidifiers running on Ink bird controllers to try and keep the humidity down, In late in flower I like to keep the humidity above 45 but below 60. 5/28/2023 Week 7- Day 6 of Flower (Day 115 overall) Opened the back of the tent today and boy did she need some defoliation love in the back. Other than that I took off a few little sucker buds trying to form. I did start to setup my Dry space as well as did a Trichome Check today and the brown tips are coming in nicely. 5/29/2023 Week 7- Day 7 of Flower (Day 116 overall) Found a few baby sucker buds trying to form so I removed them. Other than that I am enjoying watching her mature. I also started my Reverse of the Clone I took 6 weeks ago in Apr from #3. I am uploading footage of the reversing process for your viewing pleasure.

They are 45 and 50 cm Both of them look pretty, each one is different from the other but they are beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ Taller still being fat, her leaves are turning darker and i like it. The smaller have more branches, so i think in the end they both will yield about the same, or maybe smaller yields more. Let's see. Both plants don't look like other diaries i've been following ๐Ÿ˜ฏ They have a strong fruity sweet smell, But not as strong as PE. Watered yesterday with nutrients, i'm not sure if keep feeding them or not. I guess if i give them one more week (maybe cut them on feb 11) their colas may gain some weight, specially lower buds. Added a video of each plant, i hope you enjoy ๐Ÿ˜บ

4/7 Day 31 (AM) - Things have been going relatively well over the last several days, with the exception of the one plant that has been unhappy throughout the grow. I did some light pruning to remove brown/dying fan leaves from the struggling plant but have otherwise been focused on tucking leaves under future bud sites, and keeping an eye on the two that were topped late in week 4, both of which are sending out new shoots. All seem to want nutrients now. I've been very light-handed with the nutrients but started giving them small amounts at least every other watering. At week five it feels like a lot of things are on autopilot now, just normal maintenance like topping off the humidifier and occasionally poking my head in to check on things. Glad I didn't abandon the sickly plant. New growth looks healthy, and it just might pull through. Update (4/8- Day 32 AM): Feeding was very well received by all plants. It's taking some getting used to. I tend to use very little in the way of fertilizer (have read too many horror stories). Still, these guys are showing signs of being hungry on a regular basis, and their daily uptake of water is considerably more than when I started. For the time being, I have been using about 50% of the recommended amount of FF Grow Big, close to a normal recommended amount of CalMag, and about 50% of the recommended amount of P-K (due to deficiencies noted in some leaf margins). I've been testing the runoff and it's coming out between 6.5-6.6 consistently. No signs of drooping or overwatering. Right now, they appear to be happy if watered about every other day, and they're taking on about 1/2 gallon each pretty consistently. Next time I'll probably use nothing but pH adjusted water, just to avoid nutrient build-up.

Hey everyone :-) We arrived in the last week before the harvest ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. I can hardly wait because both are beautiful and smell extremely good ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Let's start with the weekly overview: Flowering day 56 Both were poured with 1.2 l each and checked for their health. Flowering day 57 Today the tent was cleaned and the humidifier refilled. The trichomes have been checked and are about 80% milky and 20% amber. Flowering day 58 Both were checked, and the technology was checked for functionality. Flowering day 59 Today both were checked and fresh osmosis water was left in the tank. Flowering day 60 Again, both were poured with 1 liter. Flowering day 61 Today was a pure control day. The trichomes are now 30% amber and 70% milky (a few days until harvest). Flowering day 62 Today the whole tent was cleaned. And got the darkroom ready. In the next few days we will go to the darkroom. Of course, there will be a harvest update before the last update. Until then, I wish you all the best, stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป and let it grow ๐Ÿ€ You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Genetics: Red Poison Autoยฎ๏ธ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) ๐Ÿ‘ Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W ๐Ÿ’ก Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Soil : Canna Coco Professional + โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
