Overall, this is 9th week of flower for the entire F'22 grow season. With French Macaron beginning week 7 flower and Afgooey #1 and #2 in mid-week 5 of flower. The Afgooey #3 is just starting to form tiny budlets after an extensive defoliation as she's squatty with lots of foliage. Updates & Observations - a lot of maintenance this week from continual ph'ing and flushing as Afgooey #2 has joined the French Macaron with low ph runoff readings. Given I'm growing in a living soil mix with periodic top dressings and teas every 7-10 days, I'm stumped. So, no more feedings for the French Macaron until harvest. Decided that next watering I will flush both girls with fresh rain water captured/stored which I have stored outside in 30 gallon barrels. Rain water tested at 7.2 ph, which to me is good enough for the flushing. It's raining for 3-4 days next week, so this will exhaust existing supply and replace with fresh rain water. Perfect timing. Will update next week.

Flowering Week 6 โ€“ Fading Leaves, Persistent Flies The sixth week of flowering brought a mix of progress and persistent problems. The whitefly issue unfortunately hasnโ€™t gone away. I replaced both yellow sticky traps at the end of the week, and within minutes, two new whiteflies were already spotted on the fresh left trap. The old one had four additional flies on the back. This pest pressure remains a concern, but Iโ€™ve decided to hold off on further neem oil sprays for now, given how far along we are in flowering. Iโ€™ll keep monitoring closely. Nutrient-wise, I stayed cautious this week due to ongoing signs of overfeeding. Leaf tips are still showing yellowing and some burn, especially on the lower leaves. Many leaves have pronounced yellow spots and curled tips โ€” a clear sign of excess nutrients earlier on. To reduce stress, I watered with plain pH-adjusted water (5.5โ€“6.0). Total watering volume was approximately 29 liters This week I also did a second round of lollipopping, focusing on removing all small popcorn buds and lower growth under the net that wouldnโ€™t develop well. Despite the nutrient stress and the ongoing whitefly presence, the plants are still developing well. Buds are getting chunkier, trichome production is visibly increasing, and the overall structure is solid. Still, Iโ€™ll be keeping a close eye on both leaf health and pest activity in the coming days. โธป TL;DR โ€“ Week 6: โ€ข New whiteflies still showing up โ€“ 7 total seen this week. Both sticky traps replaced. โ€ข Additional lollipopping done: removed popcorn buds and shaded growth under SCROG. โ€ข Leaf symptoms (tip burn, spotting) persist โ€“ watered with plain pH water, once with half HESI dose. โ€ข Watered 3x this week: 9.5 L (pH only) โ€ข Light stayed at intensity level 7

Apple Fritter developed some CalMag deficiency when I used a different fertilizer, so I'll stick with B'cuzz for this round.

Welcome to my Black Jack..(After looking through my seeds and seen that my packaging for this strain. I've the normal Black Jack, not the FV) I seen this strain in the Sweet Seeds List when asked to pick. And it was a year ago. And I picked it from its pedigree and the fact I didn't do a FV of any kind, nor have I still. (I am actually doing their OG high prize pedigree strain. Even better. I've the Cream Cartmel FV as I got confused) She is a healthy girl in day 35 now. Really healthy. I Broke A few of her walls to bend it as it was all stacked up. (I've tons more pics of her progress hopefully I'll be able to pull up) But, as you can see. Her structure was mainly stacked so she was shaped and I let her nodes go hard as they do when HST'ed not for the fact to get big buds, as that's not when HST Is meant for only. Super cropping requires a lot of early hst. (Its simple you just fell a node by rolling it and bending it to fall where you plan to shape for a few days you need to make sure if sticks as if she's in any stages of rapid growth. She'll just grow straight back upwards Anyways. I've set her up nicely ill put her to flip soon.. After she pre flowers and does that full phase I'll HST and watch her few nodes explode. As she doesn't have a lot of foliage and I lollipopped a lot as you can see. Need to do plants with not a lot of mentinance as I've 21+ atm going. Every plant is healthy.. all at different stages and going according to plan actually an extra week ahead on 3 autos that have already moved into the fattening stage. FC 3000 is turned up to 100% and held at 40% away giving the autos 1000ish ppfd and allowing my whole tent to get more light. I've the light about 130cm up from the floor. Nutrient wise. Looks like a lot. Well if I were doing weeks. Power roots, pure zym are given once every 10 days or so. Alga Grow was stopped on day 30. I did give her she fish force only today. (Day 33 and 2 weeks ago) Terpinator will be applied in a few days and will be every 10 days or so until soft flush (water feeds for a wk, no run-off). ALL NUTRIENTS ARE EVEN DAYS APART AND ENZYMES AND POWER ROOTS ARE USED AS FOLLOW FEEDS. No ph'in as this is organic. TERPINATOR IS 6.4 WITH MY WATER AND I GAVE THAT TODAY 3 DAYS APART FROM HER LAST ORGANIC PRODUCT (As they hold a ph of 4 some are 9. But its organic and true organic soil doesn't need ph'in) only additives need to be brought in line with soil needs if using synthetic nutrients and should not be given near anything that may clash. Rule is if you're giving a different brand/type organic/synthetic don't put them in the same pot that will allow them to mix there ph's as synthetic nutrients require a set ph in soil where as true organics don't. Thanks to sweet seeds for giving me these seeds. Sorry it took so long to get to. Real hardy seeds. 1.3yrs old and they she looks great for a 33 day old lady.

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ Week 3: Blooms Unleashed! ๐Ÿ˜ The stretch has gracefully come to an end, and now, the buds are making their grand entrance! ๐Ÿ˜ Standing tall, our Lemon Orange proves to be a formidable presence, prompting the need for some strategic topping and ScrOG to keep its height in check. Growth Management: Given its impressive stature, a little intervention with topping and ScrOG is in order to ensure the plant stays within bounds. It's all about orchestrating the dance of growth. Aromas in Bloom: As the buds unfurl, so do the enchanting aromas. A symphony of citrus notes fills the air, signaling the flourishing flower stage. The pace is exhilarating, promising a delightful harvest in the making. Nutrient Nurturing: In the spirit of balance, I've opted for a mindful approach, utilizing only 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a careful dance to provide just what our Lemon Oranges needs for optimal growth and flavor development. The stage is set, and our Lemon Orange beauties are gearing up for a floral spectacle. With each passing week, the anticipation for the harvest grows, and the journey unfolds in a crescendo of green and citrusy bliss! ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒฟ

Divine indica is growing great. She has about a week of bulking left. She has some nice fat colas developing. She has a light nitrogen deficiency going on. I am okay with that and did add more when I topped her solution off. She has been very hungry and thirsty. Everything is going really well. I have the light on at around 70 percent durle to avoiding it getting too hot or intense on colas. Trying to anyway. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Divine Seeds. ๐Ÿคœ๐Ÿป๐Ÿค›๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฑโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Thank you grow diaries community for the ๐Ÿ‘‡likes๐Ÿ‘‡, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel๐Ÿ‘‡. โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿป Happy Growing ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Ok completely my bad with this. Haven't been feeling great the past couple weeks and have really neglected these babies, among other things. But, I had a go in there yesterday and hopefully things shouldn't keep getting so bad. The buds are fattening up on both a lot, and considering what they've been through I think they look pretty damn good. A lot of burned tops, any suggestions what o should do with them? Seems a bit harsh to smoke. I've managed to wiggle them down a bit lower, hopefully he burning shouldn't get worse, but we'll see. Smells fantastic anyway. Definitely want to run these again a. It further from the light ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Now we've reached day 25. We are in the transition phase, pre-flowering if you want, when the seedlings reveal their sex by showing the white fluff or the boyish balls. Here and in all F1 Hybrids you can be SURE, SURE as death that you will never see any balls. If you have underestimated this aspect of the F1 Hybrid, go back and think about how many times you found the balls on the paint, full of pollen that fertilized your ladies. Do you like having young ladies impregnate you? Absolutely not for me and this is a very valid reason why you can choose the F1 Hybrid. Really guys the seeds suck and the genetics of the various breeders if they don't do a job like this it means that they are super hybrid poles with genetic traces scattered here and there. Inglourious bastards. Here we don't want to be Aryan but to cultivate healthy plants with safe results. Our Runtz F1 runs very very well, even with very slight signs of overfeeding but lighter than the others, almost non-existent. Nothing that affects the final quality and beauty, you will see in the end. To fix this little thing we go to flush with pH 6.2 and only give Aptus Regulator which should rebalance the plant and soil before delicately moving on to fertilizers for flowering. Site Description ZAMNESIA - RUNTZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC: UNIFORMITY, RELIABILITY, AND GREAT FLAVOURS! What can we say about Runtz that hasn't already been said? Well, trust us when we say you've never seen it quite like this before! From the team at Zamnesia comes Runtz F1 Automatic. Now, this isn't some Formula One car-related special edition, no. This strain takes everything you know and love about the original Runtz and offers a reliable and uniform growing experience that will impress everyone. GROWING RUNTZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Runtz F1 Hybrid Automatic is the lovechild of Gelato and Zkittlez; the result is a strain that's extremely vigorous and fast to flower (taking just 10 weeks from germination to harvest). While autoflowers generally make for a no-hassle growing option, F1 hybrid seeds take this ethos one step further. Runtz F1 Automatic showcases great uniformity, meaning all plants will have a remarkably similar appearance and output. These plants are also highly resistant to pests and disease, so if it's your first foray into the world of cannabis cultivation, you're in the right hands with Runtz F1 Automatic. Reaching heights of 55โ€“75cm, Runtz F1 Automatic can slot into the pokiest of grow spaces, both indoors and outdoors. But this small stature is not to the detriment of production. Once ready, growers will be treated to a return of around 500g/mยฒ indoors and 100โ€“150g/plant outdoors. AROMAS, FLAVORS, AND EFFECTS OF RUNTZ F1 HYBRID AUTOMATIC Another perk of F1 hybrid genetics is that these plants are teaming with terpenes and cannabinoids, making for a pungent and potent experience you're unlikely to see with other strains. When it comes to delivering massive flavors, Runtz F1 Hybrid Automatic certainly doesn't phone it in. Upon taking that first toke, users open themselves up to bold notes of creamy vanilla mixed with candied citrus fruit. The result is mouth-watering. With 25% THC to its name, Runtz F1 Automatic offers an uplifting, euphoric, and creative high that will suit all kinds of scenarios, whether social or solo. So seeds of all brands, in addition to these great F1 Hybrids and the entire Zamnesia line, fertilizers and everything related to the world of cannabis, you should buy them from the best online store in the sector www.zamnesia.io

Reaching peak flower now so added PK into the mix for extra Potassium and Phosphorous over the next 10 days or so. Never had plants soak up this much nutrients without any burn (touch wood) so I'm really impressed with the Vitalink range. Theis plant is at the front right of the tent, and to the left of the screen in the timelapse. Defoliated for the last time at the beginning of this week.

Reduced Bloom A & B by 1ml per Litre due to rising EC levels at start of the week. She is filling out more and developing a very fruity aroma.

This week, my Titans are sleeping in a cooler dark room until harvest. So for your viewing pleasure, I've loaded some videos made of the Titans during there time with me. I'm wondering what to serve at my Queens Tea Party... I made some butterscotch pistachio bars and modified the recipe for less sugar. ๐Ÿ˜‹ We experimented with topping the bars with black cherry spread, orange marmalade and a mango jelly. All are very tasty as the bit of sour/tart enhances the butterscotch sweet. A few solar eclipse pics.
