The flowers have visibly swollen this week. The plant drinks a lot of water, to the point that I have come to give it 2L a day! It is entirely covered in resin as can be seen from the photos taken with the flash and the smell it gives off is extremely intense with a fruity flavour. Now the trichomes are mostly milky white, so from next week I will start the flowless finish for the root wash. I think the plant couldn't have come better than this, I'm extremely satisfied and I really think I'll be able to exceed 200g of final product once dried. Comments?

April 10th, Time to repot! First, the new pot, this will be the final pot for my White Widow, a 50L geotextile pot with a substrate I prepared and amended beforehand. I kept a diary about the reciepe of this substrate! Before transplanting, I added about 75g of BioGrow as a top dressing to provide a good nitrogen boost for the next few weeks. Then I had to select one of my three White Widow plants. I applied a spoonful of TNC Mycorrplus to the slightly damp roots so it would adhere well. I placed it in the center of the pot and watered like 3L with Bioenhanceur, trying to be gentle during this steps Now, fingers crossed for what comes next...🤞 Thanks for stopping by!💪💚

I'm pretty impressed with these genetics. They're really tall for all the training I've done. They would be 12 footers if I would have left them alone. Brothers Grimm Genetics Cindy99 for the win!!!

Medium: 🥥🥥🥥🥥 Coco remains as the most manageable medium in our arsenal. It’s simplistic, similar to conventional soil but as a nutrient neutral medium, it’s also much more tailored to the growers preferences in terms of feeding. It’s best attribute is excellent drainage and consistency - a lot fluffier than soil which definitely translates to faster growth rates. It’s a damn shame that this particular grower forgot the cardinal f$&@king rule when it comes to any grow - always water to run off and pay attention to the strength of the feed in relation to the plants growth stage. If we had followed these basic principles we wouldn’t have run into the serious late stage burn that almost toasted the whole plant. On the flip side of that, coco flushes out incredibly well and if not for this attribute, the whole grow would’ve been an unmitigated disaster. Method 🎚️🎚️🎚️🎚️ Uggghhh - hindsight f$&@‘n sucks sometimes. Best descriptor for how we grew this girl - imagine having the dinner table set with your finest china, a bottle of the most expensive red wine you can find, a brand new top-o-the-line BBQ, and then burning the absolute f$&k out of a $40 prime rib. That’s exactly how this grow feels... We were looking to scrog it the whole time and this went perfectly. The plant helped quite a bit with longer than expected internodal spacing. This allowed for a really even canopy/bed of buds. Again though, the vipar 450w (truly a 200w~) shit the bed mid veg. And we needed a replacement. Went with a 100w SpiderFarmer QB. While I truly am pleased with the purchase I do believe that we should’ve upp’d to the 200w model (or 2, 100w models) to achieve a similar output and result - @silverback_guerilla was right on point with the lighting advice (*again). Given the reduced yield it just feels like the nodal spacing and overall bud quality may have suffered with the reduced power. This, despite the better light spectrum and overall coverage in general. As an aside - an additional Fixture is now on the way😉👍. Worst part about this is we’ll never really know what the true limiting factor actually was due to the nute burning. Probably the single most stupid, rook mistake I could’ve made was not watering to runoff.... just too much shit going down in the world (and in life) these days and I started to treat the grow like it was on auto pilot🤬🤬🤬. The whole worlds a cluster f$&k right now so why should the grow be any different right? 4/5 for the method, losing1 point because the grower is a lazy moron. Yield/Harvest🌴 The final numbers are better than expected, 2.26oz of usable bud. Not overly fluffy and not overly dense. Not glazed in frost but not without a little shimmer. All around mediocre unfortunately. What it coulda? Shoulda? Woulda been??? Note sure 🤔 but we’ll take it👍. On a more positive note - There was still another new addition to our grow cycle. This time on the back end. Everyone knows that trimming just plain sucks. When we’re spitt’n out 3-4 plants every few months, the exercise is a dreaded necessity if were gonna maintain the vast array of choice that we’re used to🤙👌. The whole process just for one plant can take hours unless you have help. We prefer to wet trim too so for those that don’t require a commercial size trimmer, the only option to save some time is a trim bowl. We bit the bullet, dropped the cash on one - have NOT been disappointed at all! Not only did it cut the chop process from 2-3 hours down to a mere 45 minutes, the buds literally came out rack ready. There was no need to do any touch up trimming and the bud photos you see are as-is, right out the bowl🤩. Really coulda used this last fall and I would recommend this to anyone who chops more than a handful of plants per year. Just awesome and worth every penny!👌🤙👍 At times like these, we should all just be thankful that we still have both the opportunity and ability to grow our own✌️. Best be to all of you and stay safe out there.👊 Background For those not in the know, SSSC has been around for 40 years. Out of Amsterdam, they are the 2nd such breeder to market their genetics worldwide and can lay claim to the origins of their beans better than most (if not all) others. They’ve produced here an indica hybrid cross of M33/Friesland Indica with an elite clone of Lava Cake. We’re hoping to encounter one of the purple phenos but only time will tell. She’s supposed to be super strong too and not for the faint of heart 👍. We’ve been wait’n on this one awhile and she’ll be getting individual treatment in the small cab - 5gal. Coco w/perlite and the typical nute regimen. Advance props for the best packaging I’ve ever seen (although you may need to be an 80’s baby or older to truly appreciate it😉). See week 1 photos.

Mephisto has their shit kicks ass. Starting to look yummy. I want to thank @GardenOfAutos for letting me know I am growing cheese strains. Which I do not normally like my fault. Lack of research.

Did lots and lots of defoliation, had piles and piles of unwanted fan leaves using juice that could be redirected an focused on swelling up the buds, so they had to go you know.

Finish

7/28/21: Week 7 and we found a few beans 😑, apparently we didn't remove the hermi in time but it's not too bad, we can live with a few seeds (it looks like maybe 5% if the plant)...its an interesting cross for sure lol (Green Crack x GDP).. she's still way too dark imo despite having cut all nutrients well over a week ago.. we may flush her this week and just continue the rest of the grow with only water...thanks for reading!! Will update mid week 🐱❤️💡🌱 ... 8/01/21: Trichomes are getting cloudy and the leaves are finally starting to lighten in color.. maybe 1-2 more weeks left before she comes down..we're really excited to try this strain!🐱

Nothing to really report waiting to be cut. Just outside no lamp no more water.... i just want more amber trichomes and coming 😘

Week 5 starts for mandarin dreams and divine storm. All four ladies look happy and they all grew 1-2 inches during week 4, hopefully they grow the same amount this week. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week! 👽🌳🔥

Ola guys..                                     First day of flowering for this two super Cookies Kush plant..                   For now they aren't directly under the Black Dog light😍, because I don't have much space...but in a couple of days I want to put they in better  and definitely position..                    I cut off some leafs and small branches, and I spraying they  with a mix of 2 ml Acti-vera and 2 ml Fish-mix..and they, apparently, responds well..                                    I never do it before..so..we will to see what's append..                                                           Hope the best, and..               Thanks for the time to  reading🙏..          See you next week..                      bye            😊✌️  

Monkey berries is finished up in 55 days flushed too 0.0 EC . The colours are so beautiful!! She’s went quite purple for me the trichomes are thick what a killer strain to go it was my first exotic mikes genetics looking forward to the next run with exotic genetics.. stated flushing the slurrican IX yesterday she be chopped by day 60 . One last update coming of the final grow in a week or so .. happy growing

- Luego de 10 días desde el cambio de luz se aplico Big one de manera radicular. - Como esta comenzando el Invierno, estoy teniendo un poco de problemas con la temperatura, he llegado a mínimas de 16°C - Estoy tratando de utilizar PK booster de BAC en vez de Top MAX de biobizz - Realice una defoliación casi al terminar la semana cosa que le llegara luz a la mayoría de los ápices de la plantita Van creciendo sanitas, bueno me excedí un poquito de fertilizantes y algunas puntas estuvieron quemándose pero.... espero no sea nada grave

Easy trim the buds are sticky and the smell earthy & fruity very nice 👍 The buds are less dense 7-10 days on the dry racks then smoke report next year Take care 😎

7/14 Did some tucking and cutting this thing is bushy cut mist of the lower parts to help with air flow besides that everything looks cool still just RO water and teas once a week

Honestly, last week I switched to watering exclusively with water with the recommended pH level. I defoliated, perhaps even did some kind of partial trimming in vivo. Expect my results, friends, it will be a rich harvest of delicious cones!

Bisher lief fast alles problemlos und ich hab mich weiter am LST probiert. Mir ist ein Ast komplett abgebrochen, aber ich konnte ihn wieder festmachen und er ist verwachsen. Allerdings ist der Ertrag sehr schlecht im Vergleich zu den anderen Ästen. (siehe Bild: Bruch) Werde das nicht wieder versuchen.

I advise everyone to try this!
