Commencing Week 8: day 50 on January 19th
Update is late my sincerest apologies. I will make it up by giving a very thorough smoke report when all is done.
Otherwise all is going very well 😁😁👏👏
On day 50 I took the head off of bloody skunk.
I checked trichome colors under USB microscope. At least 90% fully milky-white with maybe 5 or 6% Amber and the remainder clear. 😁
On day 55 I gave all of the plants a fan leaf trim including the remaining bottom half of bloody skunk. as I sit here and think about it I believe this will help with ensuring the entire plant ripens and matures at the same time - versus the tops being ready before the bottoms.
I still plan on letting the bottoms of all these plants go way beyond the recommended time to see if I can initiate the process of rodelization. Either way I am glad to report that Bloody skunks pollenization looks like it is resulting in some seeds. (See photo). In hindsight my only concern is that because the plant finished a bit earlier than I expected the seeds may not make it to full maturity but I believe it should be okay we'll just have to wait and find out.
That being said besides the bloody skunk being done just a few days early everything else seems to be right on time as described in plant profiles on company websites.👍
That's all for now thank you for your patience and attention and support and as usual feel free to leave any suggestions comments or questions and I'll do my best to get back sooner rather than later 😁

It been a great week..Bud sites are prominent now and I love the node spacing, these should be some top heavy girls very soon lol.. we noticed some yellowing on some of the taller plants, we attributed this to our earlier PH drama but its likely light stress so we moved the fixture up a few more inches (no light meter 😞 ... ).. They're beginning to smell like citrus/ lemon but its mild atm.. not too much else to report but we'll update if anything changes, thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️🌱~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

We're still yellowing some but mostly on the larger plant..I'm not entirely sure what's going on.. I lifted the light a little more and raised PH to 6.8 for last watering, we'll see what happens
😺👍

Ya es la décima semana de vegeta de estos esquejes y va todo muy bien, muy pronto se cambiara su ciclo de luz a 12/12 para iniciar la floración.
El día sábado 25/07 se hizo la primera aplicación de Delta9 la cual fue vía foliar, a los 10 días ,es decir, el martes se pasara a ciclo 12/12 y se hará la segunda aplicación también vía foliar, la tercera será 10 días después de la segunda y será la única que se realizara a través del riego.
Estoy dejando que se vuelvan bien frondosas para hacer un pequeño raleo el día que cambie el fotoperiodo y puedan estar listas para entrar a floración.
La temperatura con el led apagado es la única preocupación veré alguna manera para sobrellevarlo durante la flora que es donde mas horas estará apagado.
Por lo demás todo va bastante bien, las dos plantas van con buen aspecto y sin posibles carencias.
Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!

Hi friends . 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍
fifteenth day after switching to flower phase. the flowers are strong. The flower responded very well to the transplanting. I bend the flower every 5 days. This will be a very beautiful harvest if nothing goes wrong.🤗
Have a nice day and thank you for watching.💚

Ladies are looking great smelling great the chocolope has put on some extra height and the bubblegum has put on some extra weight. The buds on the chocolope are spaced out pretty far hopefully the buds get bigger and fill in the space

Yeah it’s not anything like I had planned, but like I said last week, there is always next year. I’m just giving her molasses here and there. I don’t know the pH or ppm of the feed water. It’s just molasses and my 8 pH well water. Then back to just plain water if I’m not feeding. There are obviously a lot of soil amendments that I’m leaning on. I suppose the picture of her trunk isn’t that impressive because it lacks a reference of scale. But those are some big roots on the top there.

This was my 1st photoperiod grow on growdiaries and I'm glad I tried these Fast flowering photoperiods for it. Big thanks to Heather and the Fastbuds team. I haven't managed to try the Tropicana Cookies auto yet so this photoperiod fast version was definitely a new adventure. She grew more squat and bushier then i was expecting and her shape really did remind me of pineapple express. To be honest she was great to grow. Because this grow was going so good I decided to switch back to photoperiods for the next few grows i just wish i had left her in veg for 1 more week.
Harvest GDG16
Wedding cheesecake FF=35g+20g larf
Tropicana Cookies FF=42g+10g larf
Gorilla Cookies FF=59g+5g larf
Total weight, decent buds=136g
Total weight larf=35g
Light power
Total= 200.43Kw
18hrs for 28 days = 504hrs
12hrs for 67 days = 804hrs
Total hours for lights= 1308hrs
200.43÷1308=0.153Kw/hr average.
Average 153w/hr
Total g/W=0.89g/W
Power used for grow=508.78Kw @0.30p =£152.63
Each gram cost £1.12 (not including larf).
The buds have been curing for nearly 2 weeks so I haven't had a sample yet. There will be more pictures added once I try the buds and write up a smoke review but for now I'll just leave a video of the grow.
Thanks to all who have viewed my diaries and a big thanks to all that posted likes and comments, it's much appreciated.

Terps are definitely starting to come through, gassy and fruity. Buds directly under the light are hard as rocks.
Pistils are starting to show what kind of colas I can expect.
The back 2 plants are receiving an extra qt of hand-fertigation per day, as they dry out quicker than the front 2.
Happy growing!

Today is the start of GC's 4th week. I started tying her down...evening up the canopy a little bit. I usually get rid of the 1st and/or 2nd node, but hers are long enough I went ahead and kept them. Her canopy really opened up nicely, and everything is pulled down pretty evenly. She is going to be really nice. I haven't introduced any nutes except what is in the FFOF soil. I will start with a small feeding in the next week or so depending on what she tells me. So far I. Super impressed with 420 Fast Buds!!!!

so far I'm only feeding them with destilated water
day4: unfortunately the 4th seed grew the other way around I carefully moved it over without touching it directly
day5: 24hours later it looks a little sad but I think it will get over it.
the other 3 are perfectly fine and achieved a height of 7cm so far I'm watering every 2 days approximately 200ml desolated water
day6: on day 2 after operation the 4th one is growing and starting to look healthy , them step is even thicker than the other 3 had at that height I think. gonna leave the cup on it of another day probably and depending on how it looks tomorrow I will take it off
day7: Plants looking healthy so far, 4th one is recovering nicely
day8: The 3 are growing healthy and number 2 and 3 are already showing their second pair of leaves and I think it's safe to say number 4 recovered and is now back on track:)
day9: Today I put 400ml of water on the three bigger ones but on the outer area to water the soil overall without pouring 400ml directly on the Plant, number 4 is getting on track and is growing nicely after the beginning problems she had.
day10: I was a bit worried since number 2 rolled their first 2 Leaves a little bit but I was told they will drop of anyway and not tot worry about them too much. besides that they are all growing nicely.
day11: Last day of week 1 and so far everything is going very well.

Topped her and started pulling branches down. Still around 4ml per gallon of nutrients I don't want to go too heavy this time around. Overall the plant is really healthy looking.

Hey-O ! The girls are doing great, lots of frost development and thickening up. Big fat colas and nugs on these ones. Pretty sure the Mai cola is a solid OZ on its own 🤤 smelling very dank, and feeling greasy to the touch.
All I have had to do this week is fill the humidifier and admire them as they grow 😎 not too much longer, hoping they finish around the same time as my other strain . Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️🌱

* All plants had one feed last week with some PK soluble ( SODK one more feed this week). The rest of waterings are tap water with some microorganisms in.
* No new deficiencies spotted (except stomper#1 & 2 from last week), PK gives us the last boost.
* Buds progressing well with a lot of crystals, smells are medium and so glad about that, promising though after curing properly.
* Lights at 35k - 40k Lux.
* humidity 45% - 60%, temps 20C° - 25C°.
* D53 --> Fixing the canopy with a bit more aggressive LST to all the plants, except the main stem of stomper #3 (the stressed one).
* D56 -> Final day of week 8 and the most mature plant is the stomper#1 (the plant with the early LST and most affected by N toxicity in early stage.
- Trichomes are looking like 10 days before harvest, letting the other 5 plants enjoy more light.
Week 8 --> finished ✅
