well, that day dawned :) growing in a suitcase was really difficult, temperature, humidity, plant growth, everything was very difficult to control, but I managed something, it was an extremely interesting experience :) 119 gr wet, I think it will be between 25-30 gr dry , which I think is really good from the suitcase :) it was something different than usual, and now I'm going to grow another begina, which is much bigger than this one :) good luck to everyone, and thank you.:)

Both plants have almost stopped growing in heigth now and are in full flowering mode now. Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) Plant #1 is 15 cm shorter than plant #2, but a little bushier. Both have grown very well and are strong and healthy. They get more and more flower clusters now and start to fill up all branches. Trichomes start to appear all over...the plants start to get sticky and develop a weak sweet aroma now. Its time to take off the biggest fan leaves now for defoliation, I took a round of pics before and after.

It’s about week 8! A few weeks into flower now. So far this is looking like the most successful indoor grow to date, but it is early of course. She’s filling the tent perfectly — flowering exactly at the right time — nice even canopy. These genetics have responded very well to scrogg. I am endlessly impressed by canuk genetics. She’s smelling stronger this week and buds are starting to form. Vertical growth is slowing down — some stretching still.

So far so good... couple plants are a bit behind others even though all germenated at the same time. It looks like 3of them are a week behind... but oh well, they are all still looking very healthy although in the photos they look very yellow but this is because of the light. There actually a very dark green colour. I've started to add top max now as they have 2- 3weeks left help them buds grow. The heatwave has finally stopped after 2weeks of it being nearly 40degrees by 10 am everyday . So plants seem a bit happier... Been really happy with this strain and will defo grow again. Only thing i might change is not putting as many plants in at once. Yeh 6 fit and I could fit another 2 or 3 in but the awkwardness of watering and checking for bugs or nutrient problems is a pain... There so bushy can't tell which plant is which... Update... New pics Height.. 73cm

WEEK #23 — THE FINAL COUNTDOWN Spoiler: Just moments before the axe. Slush Mint Cake has lost a few stems already during the week, great evening occupation. Im still not so sure about her. The blossoms and general impression looks totally ready imo, and some leaves even turned „necrotic“/crispy. The smell is heavy and nice, with a certain, kinda insane spiciness. But there are almost no amber colored trichomes. Like really just a few scattered ones. But all things must end. Worst case the result is not perfect, i guess, and will it even get better on the other hand with a few more days? Well, i have one seed left, so i can find out next time. 😎 Reasons for that could be plenty: the switch of fertilizer last minute and connected change of ph. And again, also might be because of the tacky LED-controller: i realised touching it the wrong way just resets it (fml). And how have i found out? Because the light was switched on way later as it was supposed to be. The solution then was to re-apply the „scene“ in the App and it magically works again. Manual timer switch has been ordered already. 0 points, dear Mars Hydro (maybe it's bad luck and incompetence from my side, take it with a grain of salt). And that's — i guess — also the reason (spoiler) why i found some bananas in the Bottom half of Skywalker Haze. And i surely do not blame the genetic for that (at all). Hmpf 💩. Well, still lucky this happened right before the showdown, so it want matter all that much, i suppose. Back to Business: SMC very, very pretty. Rich and loaded all over, pictures speak for themselves i think (have a look at last entry as well, please). For Skywalker: clear visible Amber trichomes, especially on the top buds. White ones not so easy to distinguish from the clear ones (at least for me) The outer most tips of the leaves turned light, so another sign of the advanced state of the plant. I Like. Some cute pink tips as well. Similar to SMC rather small buds, but hey, if qualityquantity thats Fine for me. 🤩 Also a very pretty plant, with a more classic look, dense, a slightly more proportion of leaves. Smell? Yes its true: lemony-herby all oover, in a way also spicy Rich (lemon Pepper). In fact both plants have been harvested, for Skywalker mainly the top Part, as the bottom buds were light and soft. As i have mentioned before, probably should have removed them After Stretch, but: All buds are equal, the deserve it. Let's see what will happen. So far: Bravo Dutch Passion for both These extraordinary strains, looking forward to the final results and the effect of both. See you in about 3-4 weeks with the "harvest" posts, peace! 🙏

Still so far so good

Prima settimana di fioritura . tutto ok .ma con qualche altra iniziano a spuntare sorprese inaspettate....beh questa è la natura 🤷😂💪👍🙏

Not much for updates this week

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis Cette plante est incroyable le pot de 11 litres ne l'empêche pas d'atteindre les 140 centimètres La canicule est terrible en ce moment acec des pics de chaleur à presque 40°

Day 15: 3 nodes now visible on both plants. Day 16: Lights lowered. Canopy now at 20000 lux. At 22" from the canopy, my light is hanging lower than recommended by HLG but I am using a lux meter to ensure the amount of light isn't too much for my plants. I'm at home almost all day almost everyday so it's the perfect time for daily lowering of the lights and monitoring carefully. Day 17: Lowered light to increase LUX readings by another 50%. Canopy now at 30000LUX. One more lowering should bring us into optimal amount of light. Noticed a slight amount of curling on leaves last night so upped the ProCal just slightly. I make my mix using pre dosed calmag & potassium silicate water. I adjusted the final EC with this water to ensure calmag levels remain high enough to prevent the coco from "stealing" it in its own cation exchange points. Ended up adding Green Planet GPH Uptake to the lineup today for the PM feeding. Will continue at recommended dosage going forward. Also picked a foliar calmag. Made a foliar spray with recommended dose of GP Ocean Magic as well; adjusted pH to appropriate level. Did one application then ditched the Ocean Magic as you're only to use this as a foliar once weekly. Made calmag foliar spray and am now regularly using this in my mister. This will allow me to adjust with plain water as to keep the EC down and my nutrient mix stronger. Also had a revelation! Root Guard and GPH Uptake have very minimal impact on EC so therefore can be added after dilution as to insure a full dose of each of these are being applied at each feeding. Day 18: Ladies doing so great now in veg phase of growth. Calmag and Ocean Magic foliar application yesterday and continued Calmag applications throughout the day seem to have really given them a boost. Adding GPH Uptake seems to be a great addition to the lineup. It will take a few more days to truly notice the results.Looking like only a few more days until the Lamb's Breath sees its first round of LST. Noticing a bit of leaf curl on both plants. I have been fertigating with a litre of solution twice daily. I am going to reduce to once daily for at least today. Will try for smaller feeding tomorrow morning and see if I can still achieve the required 10-20% runoff with an EC no higher than 300 points more than inflow. Ceasing foliar calmag applications until plant stops showing signs of oxygen deficiencies, especially the Blue Diesel. Added a Wyze cam to the setup which is awesome. I can check the ladies all the time with out opening up and disturbing their environment. (THIS IS THE POINT WHERE LIGHT BURN WAS FIRST VISIBLE BUT I WASN'T AWARE!) Day 19: EC rose dramatically as i skipped evening fertigation (Day 18). This is NOT a recommended course of action. I was trying to adjust for what looks like oxygen deprivation to the root system of the Blue Diesel (IT WAS ACTUALLY TOO MUCH LIGHT!). I think this plant is lagging behind the Lamb's Breath a bit due to being bleached (TOO MUCH LIGHT!). I believe this may be the root problem (hahahaha!) and why it is a bit behind the Lamb's Breath. Droopy leaves are usually indicative of an over saturation of water in your media. I will fertigate 3 times today to correct EC issues. Still keeping EC to just under 1000 microsiemens. Reducing volume of solution given to the Blue Diesel by half. Day 20: Started LST on the Lamb's Breath. Slowly raising EC back up to ~1000 for the Blue Dream. Lowered the light by about an inch and shuffled the plants just a bit to get optimal light saturation. Everything chugging along at this point now. Day 21 & 22: Soooo I lowered my light too much. Started noticing signs of light burn on the LB. Watched some videos, read some articles then found my manufacturer's recommended hanging height. This HLG 100 V2 should be at 24" for veg stage. So thats where it got put back up to. Measured 20000LUX on the meter still which is within optimal range. I'm sure with the light up higher, the penetration to the lower canopy will be better due to the reflective walls of the tent. I removed the first pipe cleaner of LST on the LB to let it grow up toward the light a bit more. The one day of being tied down has had a dramatic effect on the production of branches lower down. I'll (probably) let it ride out for this week to allow unfettered growth before starting to tie down new branches. Days 23-26: Everything rolling. Figured out optimal EC is around 800 for inflow for both plants. Thinking this may be the optimal inflow EC for the Green Planet Line. Decided to pick up an HLG 65 V2 4000K light as well as an HLG 135w RSpec. Both are KILLER lights for sure. The 65 has really helped in veg phase. I would highly recommend it! Optimal light hanging height ended up being around 24" for the 65 which is manufacturers recommended height. Can't wait to see what the 135w fixture can do. Day 27: Switched lights to the HLG 135w RSpec today. Lowered light down to 90 watts so the lights aren't too much of a change from one day to the next. They are about 50% brighter than the HLG 65 V2 4000K when hung up to the maximum height my tent will allow. It looks to be a sweet light and the plants are getting new hues of green showing almost immediately.

My first experience with Sweet Seeds was with some Gorilla Girl photo that I took a chance on. My only comment on one of the pheno's I received is WOW!!!!! So it is no real surprise to me that I was so impressed with the resilience of this strain and the buds she grew. She ran 84 days and was worth the wait......almost jumped the gun about 5 or 6 days early. She was strong all the way through and at first was the one I threw in and we will just see what happens.....she was a free seed. In the end she received a lot of my staring and salivating😄😄💪👍🙏 Update April 2020............ The buds have firming up and the curing continues. The citrus has come through much stronger after 4 weeks cure. She was hung on March 1st and dried for 7 days, into jars on March 8th. The piney citrus is very prominent now. She comes on quick for a buzz and is fairly balanced in my opionion and not overly energetic but not lethargic either.A nice balanced all day smoke for myself. Great flavours coming through now......I am a fan of piney smoke😃👍 So the buds have ended up nice and firm, slows down the grinder😁, powerful and lasts over an hour plus I have a high tolerance, nice eye appeal and pungent smell........Love it Sweet Seeds!!!!!! You have done awesome with this Autoflower..........she is a keeper.........but there is the issue with auto flowers👌😃 Sweet Seeds rocked it........if you are looking for a great yielding, resilient, dense bud plant she is worth your consideration! Sweet smokes Apolo!!

Started the girls with some LST to see how they all coped and they bounced back well.

🌿 **Green-O-Matic Grow Week 9 Update: Nearing Harvest Time!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exciting update on the progress of our Green-O-Matic journey as we reach Week 9 of the grow cycle. With anticipation building and buds swelling, let's dive into the latest developments: 🌟 **Bountiful Bud Development**: At Week 9, our Green-O-Matic beauties are truly showing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production kicking into high gear. The once-small flowers have transformed into dense, frosty nuggets, promising a bountiful harvest in the near future. Trichome production is in full swing, indicating peak cannabinoid potency and aromatic complexity. 📏 **Final Stretch of Growth**: As we enter the final stretch of the flowering phase, our focus shifts to maximizing bud development while ensuring optimal ripening conditions. With careful attention to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we aim to create the perfect microclimate for our plants to thrive and reach their full potential. 🍃 **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: As expected in the late flowering stage, some leaves may begin to exhibit signs of senescence as the plant reallocates energy towards bud production. This natural process is perfectly normal and serves as a signal that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient management strategy remains vigilant, providing the essential elements needed to support robust flowering without risking nutrient imbalances or deficiencies. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Maturity**: With harvest on the horizon, we're keeping a close eye on trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using a jeweler's loupe or digital microscope, we inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of THC and CBD levels, as well as flavor and aroma profiles. 🌞 **Preparing for Harvest**: As we prepare for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering supplies such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a clean and sanitized workspace to maintain the integrity of our precious buds. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to preserve terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In conclusion, Week 9 marks a pivotal moment in our Green-O-Matic grow journey, where patience and precision culminate in the imminent harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the next update as we celebrate the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation with a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready to be enjoyed and shared. Happy growing! 🌿✨ 🚫 **Addendum: Phenotype Bin Update** 🌱 In the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement, it's important to note that we've made the decision to bin one out of the three phenotypes due to poor development. Despite our best efforts and meticulous care, this particular phenotype failed to thrive and did not meet our quality standards. While it's always disappointing to part ways with a plant, this decision ensures that our resources and attention remain focused on nurturing the strongest and healthiest phenotypes to their fullest potential. By removing underperforming individuals, we can redirect our efforts towards optimizing the remaining plants for a successful harvest. Rest assured, this adjustment will not deter us from our commitment to excellence. We remain dedicated to the cultivation process, learning from each experience, and striving for the highest standards of quality and consistency in our cannabis cultivation journey. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate the complexities of plant development and refinement. Together, we'll continue to grow and evolve towards greater success in our cultivation endeavors. 🌿💪

Plant 1 is ready the other two get another 12h and 24h in dark tent Taste fruity and berrys White Ash

Doing well with its 12-12 didnt really start the stretch yet still about the same size. My other 3 arent really my biggest concern I want this to do the best that's why I took them outside. Maybe next year If i time it right I'll start more in the ground at my cabin the few random clones i got out there in the ground are doing great but may not flower in time.

Day 17 17/07/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml -5L. Very humid week, noticed a green turning colour on top of soils where the humidity has been far to high. I have installed door netting and recently left open all day and night now so they can condition over night in colder temps. All are doing well, one overdose slightly behind and looking ABIT swifted. But she'll come around 💪💚 Day 19 19/07/24 Friday Lite Feed today, 250ml each pot small run off. Seeing excellent start to these babies. Let's get it 👌💚 Day 21 21/07/24 Sunday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag 5ml to 5L. Watering in 1L each day from now. Updated video
