En fin...como todo lo que empieza, también se termina y casi estamos recogiendo el fruto de todo el amor, la dedicación y cariño inmenso que le ponemos a la más bella planta del universo. Tengo amigos a quien les digo que he tenido veces que en lo más hondo de mi alma, mi primera y última voluntad sería no cortar mis grows. Casi como si fuera en mi íntimo, lo que más deseaba, seria tenerlas preciosas para siempre y ver sus colores, sus aromas...quién no le gusta llegar a casa y la primera cosa es caminar hacia la habitación donde está el armario de grow...ver como los LED se proyectan en los colores verdes...si en mi temporada de verano tenía los colores naranjas de la Russian Auto de FastBuds...ahora con las temperaturas más bajas de finales de otoño, la Strawberry Cheesecake de Barney's...ay, que trabajos me ha dado esta señorita, eh!! Como me dejó llevar por sus colores morados y estos cogollos con la explosión de naranjas y rosados y ámbar (que no necesitamos tan solo admirarlas con el Photoshop en las páginas de los catálogos de los bancos...si!!! Que las fotos que sacó en casa no llevan filtros y los cogollos salen aún más preciosos que en las fotos de los amigos de Barney's). Hace poco "luchaba" con ella, poniéndole ScroG, trelizas, pin plásticos para hacerle Low Stress intentando controlar una "señorita" para la cual tenía pensado no más que un metro de alto y que cuando me seguía subiendo al casi metro y medio en floración sin detener su crecimiento...a esta "señorita" por la primera vez en mi vida, tuve que hacerle un supercropping encima de otro supercropping haciéndole un callo del grosor de un puño en su cola por que de otra manera no hubiera tenido techo de armario donde me cupiera el estirón de sus ramas. Me anunciaban en Barney's que su genética habría de salir una Indica en su aspecto arbustivo, pero no...la naturaleza no se equivoca en sus caprichos y en su "sopa" genética, sus ramas de Sativa se impusieron...hay que aceptar con tranquilidad lo que se nos viene encima y como no...pese a que en su final las hojas largas nos dijeron "Indica presente"...hemos tenido una Sativa...en todo, su tiempo de hacerse y desarrollarse en 13 semanas y la forma como con la red de ScroG se pudo conseguir que las luces llegaran donde no habrían de tener llegado. La pequeñita Strawberry que el 12 de septiembre despuntaba del jiffy, tímida y delicada...hoy es una "señora" y su paso por el mundo subirá en rollos de humo dulce y por el medio de sonrisas y por que no, "cabezones" por qué su "Indica" también hablará en su híbrida expresión, se recordará como una verdadera belleza...y si...por qué si miráis a las fotos, es también y mucho una belleza. Dejando la poesía de la vida aparte, esta semana ha sido semana que empezó con el flush el Domingo...agua corriente para que se lavara lo que le hemos dado en estas 13 semanas. Como no le hemos dado demasiado, donde le habríamos de dar lo justo, con el flush, muy rápido pudimos ver que el agua marrón se sustituía por água Clara, dando la señal que la hemos limpiado como se merecía...y seguro que tendremos humos suaves y aromáticos y no esa cosa que a veces nos toca cuando compramos alguna hierba a un amiguete que sea más apresurado y que a veces con la saña del negocio (y siempre el cabrón del dinero y los que hacen negocio de esto y que con esa "filosofía" tanto se les dá un flush bien echo, un secado como mandan las reglas o el curado de primera, para que el humo sea un "culto" y si unos pocos les dá la gana...para mi, esa cosa de ganarme la vida con esto, nones lo mío...y lo mío si es que cuando me fumo unos con los amigos, todos disfrutemos y que la gente me diga "anda!!! que esta es de las mejores que he fumado en la vida" y eso sí, es ganarme la vida...ganarme el gusto de perfeccionarme a cada grow, a cada variable nueva que introduzco en mis cosechas, a cada experimento que me trae conocimiento y buen hacer, a cada cepa que logró sacarle el mejor rendimiento no solo en gramos, pero mucho en sabor y en aroma. Joder...que esto de la "plantita mágica" es de las cosas más bellas y que más te recompensan en la vida y como os digo...mi "zen" en esto del "grow" no está en el humo y en lo "colocado" que me pueda dejar...lo que me deja, en verdad, "colocado" me quedo por lo que me relaja esto de la botánica y del amor, cariño y dedicación diaria al "grow". Sobre la "enana" ...la Critical Jack Herer... pues pese a una genética muy incompleta (y por que como ya os he dicho, que trifolios "ruderalis" incluso en la floración, lo que deja entender que Delicious Seeds mucho tendrá que trabajar en estabilizar esta cepa) camina también para su final...una cosecha mucho más pequeña en cantidad, pero por su olor y resina en sus cogollos más modestos y menos exuberantes en los colores, promete al menos, una hierba que "pongo mis fichas a juego sin limites" en la calidad que tendrá. Haré el flush el viernes y será un flush más específico, pues no pretendo darle un corrido de água alocado y si usaré el producto Canna Flush, pues también hay que aprovechar el sustrato que es de calidad superior y si el corrido de un montón de agua tiende a lavar los fungos y bactérias benéficas del suelo, con el Canna Flush se logra limpiar el exceso de nutrientes sin con ello hacer que el agua se lleve también lo bueno que hemos integrado en el sustrato a lo largo del "grow". Otra de las cosas que siempre contribuye a que tengamos un sustrato que después del flush nos sirva cara al futuro, es no solo el uso de las micorrizas que para mí son obligatorias, bien como el uso de "enhacers" enzimáticos que en mucho tienen la tremenda misión de convertir excesos de N-P-K en metabolitos de azúcares y coloides que las plantas absorben, sin que con ello, el humo quede agresivo en su paso por la garganta. Así...en los próximos diez días, tendremos terminada la temporada de otoño. Haremos el pesado de la cantidad, haremos los registos en la bitácora sobre lo que ha ido bien y menos bien y empezaremos a programar para mediados/finales de enero, el comienzo de la temporada Primavera 2023. Ya tenemos la "comida" de la próxima temporada y tendremos orgánico con calidad...tendremos más dos TLED 26 w, estos de 6500K para Crecimiento y tendremos ya la configuración LED completa que he diseñado en mi mente, que será el LED central de 192W, y sobre cada esquina del armario de "grow" alternados TLEDs de 26W, unos de Crecimiento y otros de Floración... Y "colorín, colorado, este grow se ha terminado..." Hasta la vista con fé y sabiduría y confianza infinita en el Dios Jah, sembrando la semilla de la concordia y paz entre Hombres y dándonos la gracia de la más hermosa planta del mundo... Fuí...ONE LOVE

6/18/22 Today starts week 4, and the first day of flowering!! The day has finally arrived, and my large (flowering) tent is packed! With these 4 additions, there are now 6 plants all together. I defoliated the living daylights out of all four of my ladies today. I also cut off all the lower, small growths as well as the large bottom 2 branches to provide clearance near their bases. At this point I’m more interested in the ease of growing instead of volume at harvest. Their mother is big enough to give me a pretty good yield. The 4 of them will still be large enough. I measured each one as well today, and their sizes are as follows: #1 & #4 are both 21 inches tall. #2 is 22 inches tall, and #3 is 20 inches tall. They are all approximately 28 inches below the light at 100% power. I fed each plant half a gallon of water today mixed with the early bloom step 1 level nutrients. I mixed 2 separate gallons containing the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 5.7 ml FloraGro - 6.6 ml FloraBloom - 6.6 ml Floralicious Plus - 1 ml The pH was 6.2 in each of the two gallons and was not adjusted. Runoff was sufficient for each plant, and the pH was as follows: #’s 1 & 4 were both 5.8. #2 was 6.2, and #3 was 5.7. The tent temperature was 81F, and humidity was 66%. Today has been a long day, and I’m tired! Happy growing everyone! 6/20/22 Stella’s Cuatro are all doing well. They all seem to have recuperated from their massive defoliation on the 18th. Right now they all seem to be naked since they haven’t started to develop any bud nodes yet, but I’m sure they’ll be beautiful eventually. Today I mixed 2 more gallons of solution to feed each plant half a gallon of water with the early bloom nutrients. The nutrients are the same as the other day, so I’m not going to repeat them here. Both gallons had an initial pH of 6.3, and we’re not adjusted. Each plant had plenty of runoff as well. The runoff pH was as follows: #1, 3, & 4 were all 5.8. #2 was 6.1. The tent was 84.2F, and the humidity was 52%. Not much else to say, except, happy growing everyone! 6/23/22 The stretch is on in full force with Stella’s Cuatro! Just since 6/18/22, only 5 days, #1 green 5.5 inches, and is now 26.5 inches tall. #2 grew 8 inches, and is now 30 inches tall. #3 grew 4 inches, and #4 grew 3 inches, and now they are both 24 inches tall. I’m hoping that the stretch stops soon and that they don’t choke off the space I have left in the tent. I mixed 2 more gallons of water with the early bloom nutrients. Each plant received 1/2 gallon, or 8 cups of the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 5.7 ml FloraGro - 6.6 ml FloraBloom - 6.6 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 1 ml The pH for both gallons was an equal 6.4. Each plant had sufficient runoff with pH’s as follows: #1 & #4 were 5.9. #2 was 6.2, and #3 was 5.8. The tent temperature was 85.1F, with humidity at 51%. Stella’s first 4 daughters are doing well, but I’ll be glad when they stop growing, and start producing some pistils, and bud. Happy growing everyone!

I was forced to chop a small branch off of the Fire OG because of PM. Tropicana Cookies was lightly affected as well. I finally grabbed a larger 70 pint dehumidifier, I’m hoping that high humidity issues are now a thing of the past. On my next run, i will definitely run a longer veg with more LST training. I feel like my buds are pretty small in comparison to others I’ve been seeing at the same stage as mine. The trichomes are coming in nice and heavy tho!

🌿🔍 Week 7: Trichome Wonderland and Final Push! 🌿🔍 Hey there! Here's your weekly update with all the exciting developments in my grow: 🌸 The Smell is Popping: Week 7 brings a delightful aroma to my grow space. The scents are becoming more pronounced and captivating. 🌬️👃 🌈 Colors Galore: The plants are showing off their vibrant colors as the flowers mature. You'll notice burpling on the leaves and the emergence of orange and red hairs on The Queen plant. LOVE IT ! 🌺🎨 💧 pH and TDS Levels: Throughout the entire flower stage, my pH has remained steady at 6.33. That's great! As for the TDS levels, they currently stand at 750ppm and 1150ppm, providing the necessary nutrients for your plants. ⚖️🌱 ⏳ Flowering Progress: The Queen is proving to be a quick finisher, with only 46 days of flowering under her belt. She's looking almost ready, and it's time to grab my handy DIY microscope to examine the trichomes closely. Keep an eye for the desired level of ripeness! 🔍🌿⌛ 🍪 Oreo Big Stuff: Although not as far along as The Queen, the Oreo Big Stuff will need an additional week of flowering before she reaches her peak. 🍪⚡ 🌿 Zweet Og: The Zweet Og requires a bit more patience. It looks like it will need at least two more weeks before it's ready for harvest. Keep monitoring her progress and let her mature fully. 🕒👀🌿 🧐 Drying Dilemma: Unfortunately, I currently am facing a problem with drying The Queen. She's positioned on the back left side of the grow tent with a scrog, making it challenging to remove her without disturbing the others. It's a tricky situation indeed! 😬🌿🏋️‍♂️ 🌱 Future Plans: Despite this dilemma, overall, I'm extremely happy with how things are going. No herms or other issues have arisen, which is fantastic news. I'm even planning to do another run with The Queen, as I already have six clones ready to be transitioned into flowering immediately after this run. Exciting times ahead, especially since it'll be my first time flowering clones! 🌼🌿🌿 That's all for this week's update. Happy growing, lads, and remember to stay high on positivity! If you need any assistance or have any questions, feel free to ask. 🌿💪🌿✨

11/2: They're off to a good start! 11/3: Some of the other seedlings almost immediately started showing signs of N deficiency, but these two are fine. I fed them a little bit today, and am foliar feeding them every few hours with Microlife Super Seaweed. 11/4: They are the most vigorously growing seedlings in the garden.👍 11/7: Growing very well now!

we improvised with threads the mesh was badly placed but everything served and fulfilled its function, now the leaves have grown again and the mini jungle is re-formed, we really liked how the previous pruning turned out although aggressive to the plants it did not affect them they recovered almost instantly, and it works in our favor because of the space, so this is already the end of the second or the beginning of the third week, in the next one I will upload the pruning and everything as it is already at the end of almost the 3rd week of flowering, at least of the larger, the others, as you know, are 2 to 3 weeks apart, so for them it is 1 or 2 weeks of flowering, which is noticeable in their development. the risks that are written down in the diary are the fertilizer once a week, and 1 3.5-liter drum or a gallon is used, which is divided into the 2 largest and another equal gallon with a different proportion for the 5 smallest , in the newspaper it is written down of the great ones.

Happy 2 Months To These Lovely Ladies. I Will Be Harvesting The Purple Purple On Friday, I Wanted To Harvest It Today But The Soil Is Not Fully Dry Out And I Don’️t Want To Harvest It When The Soil Is Still Wet. I Bought A Pocket Microscope To Check The Trichomes And Although There Are Only Literally Only 1 Or 2 Amber Trichomes On The Purple Power Some Of The Upper Buds Are Showing Signs Of Overripe By Getting Dry & Crispy And Stretching Apart. I Will Be Taking Off Most Of The Fan Leaves On The Girls Scout Cookies (5gal) And The Gorilla Glue For Better Light Penetration. The Flowering 5 Have Such Lovely Scents Coming Off Them From Sweet Berries And Pine To Different Types Of Lemon I Just Love When I When The Tent Is Close Up And I Open It And All The Flavours Just Hits Me All At Once. The Lemon OG From MSNL Is Now Over The 100cm Mark It’️s Now At 104cm(Proud Moment). Height Chart: Purple Power: 28 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 31 1/4 inches (3gal) Stardawg: 34 1/2 inches Girls Scout Cookies: 39 1/2 inches Gorilla Glue: 28 1/2 inches Lemon OG: 41 inches How Much Do You Guys Think The Purple Power Will Yield? How Much Longer Do You Think The Girls Scout Cookies(3gal) & Stardawg Has Before It Is Time To Harvest? Please Take Time Out To Like My Grow Diary, Have A Crazy Amount Of Views And Not Enough Likes To Correspond. Peace, Love And Guidance.

I used a green gelato seed (Mother) in order to take clones I germinated the seed with a paper towel. The germination time served to wash the coconut with 1000pppm of calimagic, then I added it with 30% perlite and wetted the soil with GH Flovanova GROW+Calimagic+DiamondNectar at 400ppm. These processes lasted 2 days, when the seed was ready I placed it in the soil, and from then on I watered it once a day with a pH always between 5.8 and 6.0. And the following weeks I always use these rules along with the plant's responses: After it opens up and shows the cotyledons, water twice a day. After showing 2 knots 3 times a day and increased to 600ppm of the same solution. After 4-5 knots, water 5 times a day and gradually increase to 900ppm-1000ppm. I put some clones of the mother to root, underneath the rock wool tubes I placed 1/2 finger of water with FloraNovagrow solution up to 400ppm. they rooted as shown in the photo after 1 week and 3 days. I put it in the final 14-liter vase with the soil already washed and the preparation processes done. The mother was transferred to the 60x60 greenhouse, which will flower before the clones.

**** Week 3 Veg - December 26/20 to Jan 1/21 ***** That is two weeks in solo cups and this will be transplant to 1 gal pots week. The girls are doing fine and not always perked up but I think a new home will help change that. They have been happy and noticed that when they were given a stronger feed at the end of last week they responded very well the next day and looked very healthy. Add that I am starting to see some purpling on the stem and I think they are ready for full on veg cycle to kick in. Not a lot of excitement her either Growmies😀 just to early with nothing go on other than making sure they are alive each day 😂😂 So for this week we will give the roots a new home, step up the ppm on veg feeding. Add in microbes to help the root development and keep the environment in the same 82 degrees and humidity in the mid 60's.......I am not supplementing with CO2 so keeping everything a little lower with feed, light, and humidity. They are growing veg well with the blue light and are very happy with the current 28" distance. Will maintain and let them grow into the light more until I see negative signs and then start raising the light with them as they grow. That's what I have to add at the start of the week.......see how the days unfold😀 Little more detail........ Dec 26/20, Day 15 Veg - Dry out day - Let the microbes in the media do their thing and start pushing root growth harder than what has been happening. Dec 27/20, Day 16 Veg - Gave the girls a little splash of the left over nutes from 1 gal girls two days ago to add a little oxygen and they can take the extra microbes and bacteria right now😀 - 100ml with Microbial Mass and Piranha @ 2ml/L = 650ppm and 5.7pH Dec 28/20, Day 17 Veg - 100ml each girl with the full line for this week. No other additives, just the IPP line = 700ppm and 5.7pH - This was also from the big girls.....I am thinking that they are ready for transplant so will give them a little high feed today. Dec 29/20, Day 18 Veg - It is transplant day.......we need to keep this party moving along. She may not have the root mass I am after but I am moving forward. - Prepared 1 gal pots with Mycorrhiza added to the holes. - Gave each girl 500ml watering with full strength IPP line for week 1 veg = 700ppm and 5.8pH - Root mass on these girls was very poor......there were roots.......keep stepping up the microbes with all of the girls!!!!!! Dec 30/20, Day 19 Veg - they were just watered heavier yesterday........dry out day today - think it is a CalMag only feeding tomorrow for all the ETS girls. Dec 31/20, Day 20 Veg - feed day today since it has been a couple of days. - 500ml with CalMag @ 2ml, Gold Storm @ 7ml, Sea Storm @ 5ml, Blackstorm @ 2ml, Vitamin B @ 0.5ml = 525ppm and 5.7pH - keeping the humic and fluvic acids going in, plus Kelp and CalMag👍 - the girls are happy and seeing forward movement everyday, looking for more aggressive though from the girls. Jan 1/21, Day 21 Veg - doing very well......like really well💪 - didn’t push them today and left them alone for watering, pots of course still had some weight and I didn’t expect them to need today. - Optic Folier Overgrow given today. Folier spray to give them just an extra boost since everything is otherwise dialed in👍 Finishing off the week very strong!!!!!! They have been looking very healthy and perky everyday. The roots are a concern and will be taking it easy on the nutrients for another week yet and keep up the microbes and beneficials. Will get them in line......my hope is too keep their time in the 1 gals down to two weeks max......maybe 10 days?? Looking very nice ETS.......you find yourself just staring at them and realize you just waisted 5 minutes😂😂😂

So far only Pink kush by Seedsman wants to flower, so much so that she didn’t respond well to the N in the nutes. I started bloom bites in her and reduced the amount of N to 50%, hopefully that will keep her calm. All Mephistos are sexed but they still haven’t wanted to start flowering, that’s cool for now though because alien berries and strawberry skywalker needs to catch up. They are still being fed veg nutes. Also, I had topped dressed with some dynomyco and I have to say I noticed a difference when I did that. Growth shortly became explosive.

This week the Bruce Banner autos really started to show what they’re made of. All three phenos are moving deeper into mid–late flower now, and the differences between them are getting more obvious. Bruce Banner #2 Still the most advanced girl in the tent. She’s building the thickest buds out of the three, stacking really well and showing the strongest early frost ❄️ No issues at all, super stable and consistent. Bruce Banner #3 This one really took off this week. She made a huge jump in growth and the buds are getting heavy enough that one of the branches is starting to lean a little 🍃🔥 The smell coming from her is amazing: sweet, citrusy and a bit chemical, very “Banner-like”. Bruce Banner #1 She’s finally stabilizing again after her earlier issues. Her leaves turned yellowish/red due to a previous deficiency, but honestly it gives her a cool, colorful look now. I gave her extra nitrogen (CalMag/N) + did a light flush, and she seems to be responding well. She’s back to focusing on bud development. All three plants got a quick follow-up defoliation just removing some missed fan leaves to open the canopy more and improve airflow 🍃💨. Watering: #1 → RO + CalMag + extra N + one flush #2 + #3 → RO + CalMag only Environment: Temp: ~24–25°C RH: ~55% PPFD: ~1000–1200 under the SE5000 Smell getting stronger every day: sweet lemon + chem 🍋⚗️ Overall, a solid week with good bud swelling, increasing frost, stronger terp profile, and the first signs of buds getting heavy enough to need support soon. These Banner girls are definitely heading toward late flower now 🌸❄️💪

The buds are becoming every day bigger and hairy and some trichomes starting to develop quite nice. The Smell is not so strong at the moment perfectly manageable by the carbon filter. I'm gonna flush with 20 l at 1.2 EC and ph 6.6 and letting her dry for 5 days and then ill give her a boost of 1.8 EC so that lots of oxygen goes to the roots.

These are doing great! FIM the larger of the two. Shooting for 12 nice colas. Larger started preflower yesterday so I laid her over with LST. Happy growing!
