Topped this girl this week. Growing pretty good so far. I’ll be potting up to 3 gal pots next week sometime. I also have a Bison Brew that I’ll be using sometime after transplant.

Wochenbericht – Pflanzprojekt (12. Woche – 4. Blütewoche) In der zwölften Woche setzen die Pflanzen ihre Blütenentwicklung fort, doch die niedrigen Temperaturen bleiben eine große Herausforderung. Trotz aller Bemühungen ist es schwierig, ein konstantes Klima in der Box aufrechtzuerhalten. Um die Auswirkungen der Kälte zu minimieren, habe ich beschlossen, provisorisch einen Unterboden zu bauen, damit die Töpfe nicht direkt auf dem kalten Boden stehen. Dies sollte helfen, die Wurzeln besser zu schützen und die Temperatur in der Nähe der Pflanzen zu stabilisieren. Leider zeigen einige Blätter Anzeichen davon, dass sie von der Kälte betroffen sind. Dies äußert sich in leichten Verfärbungen und einer geschwächten Blattstruktur. Dennoch entwickeln sich die Pflanzen weiterhin vital, und die Buds zeigen langsames, aber kontinuierliches Wachstum. In den nächsten Tagen liegt der Fokus darauf, die provisorischen Maßnahmen umzusetzen und die Pflanzen so gut wie möglich vor der Kälte zu schützen, um die Blütenentwicklung zu fördern.

Week 5 Pistils are changing colors pretty rapidly and she's about to start to bulk

First 45gr of tops are off. Keepin an eye on the rest. Ma lenz came in tha mail today, awesome! Will be easy to follow up harvest time...

Day 28 - Full watering/feed to run-off 10%-20% at same strength as previous. (50% of maker recommended strength for coco use + cmx + root enhancer + kept extract organic additive) Day 31 - Decided lower lights by around 30cm 120cm to about 90cm. After about 8 hours the plants all suddenty wilted. They stay wilted through the night cycle as well, so I raised the lights back to where they were and they have bounced back, so I won't suddenly drop the lights by as much. If I do lower them it will be incremental. Day 32 - Bought a six fin 800w oil heater for the tent. Am going to place this under the oscillating fan and set it aiming to keep the tent around the 25-27c range. Hopefully this has the tent sorted for the rest of the grow. The humidity has been high lately due to the weather, so this might be about the only factor left to address, and I will look at getting a dehumidifier for the grow room if needed. Day 33 - Full watering to run-off 10%-20% at same strength as previous. (50% of maker recommended strength for coco use + cmx + root enhancer + kept extract organic additive) - Ordered humidity controller for extractor fan. - Ordered Temperature controller for Heater - Ordered IP Camera for remote monitoring Tent is now running fully sealed and using passive inlet and carbon filtered extraction to roof space. Plants are around 20-40cm high and the lights are 85cm above the canopy on full 480w. Day 33 - I have reduced the Light intensity from 480w to 420w. This seemed to really get a good response from the plants. I think as they've grown taller and the light intensity has quietly increased at the newly heightened canopy level the plants have been getting stressed. Day 34 - I've reduced then light intensity from 420w to 280w. I am new to the quantum boards and the concept of "too much light" so working out how much intensity, how much distance and so forth for the different stages of plants growth. I have a gut feeling 280w at 80cm might be a touch under-powered but I'll give it a full light-cycle or two to judge leaf growth and colour and make a call on whether or not to increase it or leave it as is. Day 35 - I found plants wilting during hthe night cycle without fan air circulation. So I've set the oscillating fan to run during night hours. Day 35 - I've turned up the heater a touch to bring the tent temp to around 26c. Infrared gun shows leaf temps to be around 24-25c which ideally I want to get to 27-29c - I'll aim for this metric once the other environmental factors are sorted (ventilation seems sorted so mainly just dialing in the light intensity). * I'm looking forward to setting up the heater on temperature controller, and putting the carbon filter ventilation on humidity control, and then mounting an IP camera in the tent. This should all be here in around 2 weeks. I'm looking forward to being able to view the temp/humidity and see the plants live without having to actually open the grow room. * The infrared temp gun is proving invaluable in testing leaf, coco and pot temperatures around the tent, which is giving a great view of how the heat from the heater/fan arrangement is being distributed - it shows a less than 1-2c degree variance across the tent which is just great. * Hopefully week 6 to come will be one with a lot less wilting incidents and the week that this tent achieves a somewhat final and stable environment optimised for plant growth and happiness. But so far every time I think I've got things perfected, another variable comes into play and I need to tweak something. Maybe by the end of this harvest I will have the whole process refined to a smoother less reactionary process.

2 Gran Jefa au 53ème jour de floraison. 45G de bourgeons sec et effeuillés J'ai commis des erreurs durant cette culture et je n'avais malheureusement pas la possibilité de m'en occuper comme je le voulais. Je vous suggère de ne pas reproduire mon dosage pour les nutriments(+serait mieux) et ma fréquences d'arrosage(moins d'eau et + souvent serait mieux). Je compte modifier certaines choses pour ma prochaines culture en espérant améliorer le rendement 👌 Merci pour votre visite les amis 💪

What a great week it’s been!today is day 65 from seed!! One of the Forbiddin Runtz got it’s last feeding on Friday and will get flushed for 2 weeks and will be ready for dry and cure! The rest will still remain getting same dose of nutes the rest of this week and most likely into the next! This batch felt like it went so quick ! Hope you all enjoy an watch out for next week !

✨ And just like that, Ms. Purple’s final feeding week has officially come to a close! She’s smelling absolutely divine right now, so fragrant that you can’t even walk past the tent without getting smacked in the face by her delicious aroma 😋🍌🌸 She got cleaned lightly before these pics. I checked her trichomes again and boom we’ve hit that sweet spot we’ve been waiting for! Starting this week, we’re ditching the nutrients and giving her that clean, smooth finish with a proper Flawless Flush 🚿💎 It’s truly been a joy raising this big girl. Learned a lot, laughed a lot, and she definitely kept things exciting from start to finish! Thanks for rocking with me through this journey! Happy new month & happy growing 💚🌿

Super happy with everything so far, plants are growing fast and everything is going smoothly. I have all propped up a couple inches for better light penetration. Gonna need to take the humidifier out here soon so I can maximize all of the space for the plants. Haven't done any cutting, just some LST.

Wow, does this Gorilla Cookies smell great!! If you have been following me, then you know that the weather here in my area has been rough. BUT, according to @Fastbuds website, Gorilla Cookies is defined as being "Super-reliable and incredibly resistant. This cultivar inherited all the best qualities from her parents, making it a fool-proof strain even for beginner growers." And, my gorilla cookies has "Chunky dense buds" just like the website said it would. I used my Max-see magnifier to take some close up pictures of Miss Gorilla Cookies trichomes. She is getting closer and closer to a harvest. It rained a little this week so I only fed her a couple of times. I am currently feeding her @AdvanceNutrients Jungle Juice. I have only taken about 10 leaves off at the most during this grow. I just didn't need to open up any space for sunlight, so I left them all in contact. I also had a couple of caterpillars? that decided it was a good idea to visit my flowering plants. Little do they know we do not want them to visit! I included a picture of the caterpillar that visited. Any thoughts? Take a look at the picture that I circled on. I circled where the stem is bending down because of the bud weight. All in all, it was a good week. Miss Gorilla cookies in concentrating on her bud growth. As always, Let's chat it up! See ya next week.

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2206 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/15- Here we go into the second week of veg for the FastBuds Tester #2206 girls and they're on a roll! When I checked on them today they both were still moist so I let them go until I check them tomorrow. Basically at this point in the run all I have to do is make sure they don't dry out, fill the humidifier and watch them grow! 12/17- Yesterday I watered them both and increased the amount to roughly 0.25g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Botanicare Silica Blast (added to begin to help strengthen their branches) and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74℉. I've also increased the output of the HLG 650R's to 35% which equates to about 230w at the wall which, of course has raised the temp's in the tent so I've also begun to run the A/C unit in the grow room which is keeping the temp's now at 75℉ in the tent. The RH is running around 75-78% RH giving a VPD of .67-.74 which I'll take! 😁👍 Other than what I've mentioned above, all I did was fill the humidifier with distilled water and watched my girls grow! 🤩 12/19- Today I watered them each with 0.25g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t and 1 tsp/g Unsulfured Molasses which I then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I'm now watering through the bottom, filling the drip pan and letting the plant draw up the water into itself. I am also watering from the top, but only just enough to moisten the medium. They're really starting to take off now, a sure sign their roots are beginning to get well developed. Their 4th set of leaves have emerged and I'm thinking over topping them in the next day or so. 12/21- Well, yesterday I went ahead and topped the #1 Tester #2206 taking off the 5th leaf set. Hopefully she won't stress out over this and starts shooting out those secondary branches. I left the #2 alone as she's not quite as tall as the #1. I may not top the #2 as a sort of comparison to see how each grows out. Today I watered them both with 0.25g of straight de-chlorinated water each which was ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I gave about 3/4 of it into their drip pans so they can draw it up into their medium, the rest I applied to the top of their medium just to moisten it. Well there's two weeks of veg behind us now, Week Three of vegetation is beginning and they should really start to take off! 😍👍 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

2/26: Harvested both Black Jacks and both Gorilla Girls tonight. They got a rough live trim, then chopped, washed, and hung to drip dry. Big, heavy, frosty buds on all 4 of them!👍 3/2: Still drying in the closet...amazing aromas!

Half time in bloom. I made a video with and one without flash. This is always a bit misleading. I set Josefine a bit higher. I should have done this much earlier as she was already the smallest the whole time. I defoliated a tiny bit. Should be. A few leaves are turning yellow, but I think I watered a little too much, or gave too much fertilizer. However, it doesn't look alarming to me at the moment. They'll catch themselves again. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the first week of April.

La planta ya tiene al rededor de 76 días mientras el banco sugiere cosechar de 70-74 días, estamos atentos a que los tricomas comiencen a tornearse cafés, el 10% para cosechar, al parecer está a menos de una semana.

Starting to snow in my tent! 🌨️❄️

Things are coming along here now, won’t be too much later for these plants. Probably start thinking about flushing 2 of them soon, I suspect the soil is loaded with a high ratio of nutes, think next time won’t use the high nute soil and go for total control. Already harvested one plant already, it was the smallest one, a bit early but she was milky and a few ambers, think she got me 25.55 dry in jar now. Letting the Others hit 50 % amber before harvest those. Two in back big stretch on them,the one left in front short and fatter, say she going next in a bit

Début de 3 ème semaine. 1 d'EC dans la terre. Je commencerais à amener 1 ml de grow biobizz en milieu de 3 ème semaine pour monter à 1,3 d EC. Les plantes restent assez courtes "ramassées" car les lampes ne sont pas très hautes à 52 cm des apexs. Finissez bien l année "aussi mauvaise fut elle" essayons de la finir avec plein d espoir pour l année 2021 ! 💚💛❤️ Blessing mama Earth 🙏
