Beginning of week... The purple is beginning to bleed onto the leaves!!! Finally! I have a purple phenotype!! I am definately calling this "Week 1 of flower".. She has stretched noticeably.. Still not very much, but it is noticeable! By the end of this week it should be very obvious! I love these ladies! This is why I've stayed single since I've started growing more than 2 years ago! Bahahaha! Not even joking.. 100% of my love goes to these lovely ladies!!.. So this morning I flushed with FloraKleen.. The runoff PPM came out exactly as it went in.. Crazy!!! I mixed the nutrients for tomorrow and I went up a tad on ArmorSi (Silica).. CALiMAGic (CalMag).. And the FloraMicro.. Went down on the FloraGro so that I could also add the FloraBloom to the mix since the flower stretch will be happening this week.. I went ahead and also went up a bit on the Floralicious Plus and the FloraNectar FruitNFusion.. Gonna keep the FloraNectar at veg amount till she is actually making some nugs.. Maybe 2nd or 3rd week into flower. That's how I did it with my suitcase grow (*TC*).. Seems like the way things are going at this point.. I may not even be able to add a bloom booster. Still early tho.. Only time will tell! Next day.. Night temps in the tent got down to 57F.. Holy shit it had me nervous lol.. The leaves looked like shit.. But they always look like shit when lights are out.. But she perked up this morning.. Lights only been on for about 30 mins and they are back to NORML <--- lol see what I did there? But yeah.. Hope my clones managed to make it thru too Next morning.. Yeah she's fine.. I just hate how the leaves droop so much after about 16 hours of light.. Almost like that extra 2 hours is alot of them.. I wonder what they would be doing if I was using 20/4 or even 24/0 light cycle.. I was thinking of bumping it up to 20/4 in week 2 or 3 of flower and leaving it there till harvest.. But haven't made the decision yet. Oh yeah.. This week I also bumped up the power to 100%. And if needed, I will lower the light a bit.. I've burned a few plants in the past, so I know to be careful with that. Wish I had a PAR meter.. They say you can use a LUX meter but I see so much conflicting information on doing that.. I believe its multiply the LUX reading by .025 and that should give you the estimated PAR... But idk how much I trust that.. And when UV and IR are involved, it can be higher than what you think.. Some shit.. Blah blah blah.. Lol Almost mid week... I'm starting to think she needs more nutes.. She seems a little yellowish.. Like she could be a bit more green. I've had strains that were like that before.. But this plant is a little confusing, being my first purple pheno.. She has the little streaks of purple on the stems all over the plant.. But being a purple pheno, that could just be genetics.... But the leaves not looking as lively as they were before.. Seems to me that it shows that maybe there isn't enough nitrogen since she has transitioned into flower.. But there are also yellow tips on all the newer growth.. Doesn't really look too bad tho.. Not like nutrient burn.. But it could be. I know sone deficiencies show yellow tips also.. Ugh. The buds still seem to be forming nicely tho.. Thats what counts.. And damn the purple is bleeding onto ALOT of the newer leaves! Its so fucking pretty! The new growth seems a bit under developed to me tho.. And almost like its wilted.. Not too bad but it is a bit noticeable.. I really hope I dont screw this up lol. Well since I did go up on the nutes a bit this week.. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and see what happens this week I suppose. Hopefully this clears up after going up on the nutes a bit. I really dont wanna screw this up. Later that day (Almost mid week) So i flushed the medium with FloraKleen the other day.. The runoff came out at 3XX PPM.. Yesterday I fed with nutrients.. Going in was 7XX PPM but the runoff came out at 3XX PPM once again.. I figured ok, the nutrients are still just higher in the medium I guess and I should see it in the runoff this morning as I flush (since I feed, flush, feed, flush, etc.).. But today going in it was 230 PPM but the runoff came out at 420 PPM.. So I think the FloraKleen was still doing what it does.. And maybe thats why the plant isnt as good as she should be. So tomorrow morning I will be feeding at 740 PPM and hopefully the runoff will be where it needs to be.. FloraKleen is great.. But I'm only gonna use it for harvesting.. Cuz this is ridiculousness! Works like magic tho lol.. So there's that.. Will be updating tomorrow with pics! Mid week.. Fucking FloraKleen is still working or some shit! Fed this morning.. Going in was 740 PPM.. Runoff is still showing 420 PPM.. I even made a 4th liter of nutrient mix and going in, it was 850 PPM but runoff is still coming out at 420 PPM.. Son of a bitch. I can see she is starving right now too.. This is one of the worst times to starve these girls.. Not the worst, but one of the worst, in my experience.. What a finicky bitch she is!.. Other than the runoff sucking balls.. And the slight discoloration of the leaves.. She is happy tho.. She should pull thru just fine.. Just gotta get this damn FloraKleen out of there! I'm just gonna feed everyday (instead of feed, flush, feed, flush) till I see the PPM where it needs to be.. But damn FloraKleen works like a mf'r.. Just not the best idea to use while the girl still needs nutrients.. Will be updating as I go.. Hopefully this is fixed soon. Almost end of week.. Idk wtf.. I havent even watered using just plain water yet.. The entire week.. Just been feeding once daily and still the runoff is coming out at 400 - 500 PPM.. But she seems to have gotten a little better. No yellowing. Stretching has begun this week for sure, too.. I wish I could get each top even with the others.. But they arent too far off from eachother. The main top is gonna be a beast of a cola when shes done! The branches on the main top are bunched together so its gonna be massive. The buds are forming nicely too.. Purple is showing more and more each day. Such a gorgeous plant! I cant wait to see what she looks like when its time to harvest! Besides this runoff issue.. She is doing great! There are a couple leaves with spotting.. Looks like calcium deficiency.. But I'm assuming thats because of the runoff issue.. But hasnt spread at all.. And its really not bad looking.. Just a couple spots here and there.. Just thought I'd mention them. But she is very happy and healthy!.. Updating with pics tomorrow! End of week.. Trichomes are beginning to form.. And holy shit.. When you rub them and smell.. Hooooly flipping shirt.. It legit smells like lemonade.. Not just lemons.. Or citrusy.. But like straight up lemonade.. Wow.. Fucking incredible!.. She has definately stretched as I stated would be obvious this week.. She has done some amazing things this week.. The flowers are gettin big fast! Stacking nicely.. She should be quite the yielder! On to the next!!!...

The start of the week and the hulk 1 doing great and hulk 2 doing awesome. Some little deflation on the insede of the girls. Hulk 1 is 65cm and hulk 2 90cm

I love this new diary app! Getting to document each and every grow, makes it easier to improve the next time. If this website continues to gain more and more growers, I think Grow Diaries might be the goto site for uniting together growers from all over the world.

Wish I had left her at least another couple days however all of a sudden their became a sudden need to harvest asap unfortunately, never the less she was well into her finishing stage and and has been an amazing journey with her from start to end!

getting fat

Second round first one harmed on week two of flower fingers crossed better like this time going to take it easy on the low stress training and make sure I don’t let her drive back too much before watering🔥

Tonight on growfessor theatre, 4x4 edition, 4 ladies get fed and defoliated! Green Crack, LSD and Mandarin dreams are in the home stretch, this is their last feeding before flushing. Do-si-dos will get another feeding next week and flush a week later. Thanks for stopping by growfessors, tune in next time for another episode of growfessor theatre! 👽🌳💚

Benvenuti amici alla sesta settimana di fioritura della ormai grande BISCOTTI 🍪 di ZAMNESIA 🗿💙 i fiori stanno letteralmente esplodendo 😱💐😍

We've made it to Week 4 of flower going strong 💪 Plants are no longer stretching, now focusing on bud production. Bulking up bigger & bigger everyday. Plants are about 72 days old from seed from today's date 06/05/18 I've labeled the plants in picture #1 The smell is very strong, I had to leave fan with carbon filter running 24/7 to keep smell down. Iv'e also bin adding 1/2 teaspoon Wholesome Sweeteners, Inc., Organic Unsulphured Molasses since week 4 veg, seems to be helping with THC production, only time will tell. 👍 Thanks again for all the positive comments, likes & follows! Please feel free to share your tips & tricks as i'm still new ( FIRST GROW ) HAPPY GROWING!

well this lady has been a gem too work with , she really stretched out at flower growing from a rose into too a sun flower lol but not quiet as tall as her sister the cali snow , she has been no trouble at all so far no deficiency's at all , also her bud structure is forming nicely and again not too far behind the cali snow , but both plants have almost identical structures too each other until you rub your fingers on those sugar leaves and they tell you they are doing there own thing by the lush sent they leave you sniffing your fingers in delight , the cali snow has much more of a friuty smell than the GSC but they both smell delicious thats for sure

Did some defolation. It's no fun at all with just one shoulder. Took me like 3 hours for 2 plants. But good things allways need time. Iam so exited seeing these girls becoming so big. Will try the NPK soon. Lights are on 100% now?

Dynamics starts to gain momentum Slightly straightened, poured compote With a metal stick кemoved all the shoots from the branches there is no point wasting resources on them You can speed up the filling of the pot from the top by lowering the light, but then the root will not have time to fill the pot, so just wait I refresh the bend every day Сut the side light to the maximum, turned off the sink, it's too cold at night at the end of the week, work began on preparing for the replacement by the middle row

gave plant a good spray down with warm water to dislodge mites. Also treated with castile soap and vinegar wash under all the leaves. Applied predatory mites the next day. So far no sign yet, fingers crossed.

I hung dried for three days and then bagged them up in brown paper bags for two days due to the low temps and humidity before jaring them.

We are hitting week 4 now! Plant looks strong, has a nice green look overall and she seems to like her new home! I give her every 4 days ph regulated water. 1liter from the bottom, about 1,5l from above. I will give the plant another week unter the trellis to make sure the side branches catch up. Week 4 was pretty straightforward, holding the branches under the trellis and cutting some fan leafs that giving shadow to the lower branches. At end of week 4 there are first signs of flowering and she gets thirstier over the week. Giving her about 1L from bottom and 1,5L from above every two days at the moment. At first sign of flowering I have turned the led to 100% (100W) I’m really happy with my first try in coco, the plant looks healthy with a nice green color overall. I’m using ph regulated water between 6-6,3 with biobizz nutrients.

This is actually Week 6, little delayed on this diary. Grease Monkey is performing beautifully, noticing first signs of fade. Was going to give one more feed before I start flushing, as it could definnetly still use some nutrients! Buds are bulking incredibly, fat golf ball sized nugs, that real of rubber tires, fastfood/garlic burger, with notes of an oil spill or diesel spill. Super intoxicating aroma, never smelled anything like this before Packing on frost amazing, bulking up super well. If it wasn't for the Herm, would've been my best grow yet!

Day 7 of Veg: They have not stretched that much this week because there was not much sun, colder temperatures at night. Hopefully they invested their energy in rooting. I do expect them to grow alot in the comming week. Might LST them or even HST, not sure yet.

And here we are with another week just over... And most probably next week I will also chop her down!! In these week probably for the heat stress she got I started seeing some main buds foxtailing. We are in the 10/14 days of plain pHed water, but I'm considering cutting her before the full flush is complete, this cause I can also see some amber trichomes. For now that's all, but now more than ever stay tuned for the next week, which will be most likely the harvest week! Stay high peeps!!

Day 73....gave her a flush today with some ph6.0 water. I'm noticing some spots on some of her leaves(I'll share more pictures of them). There's white hairs everywhere. So that deficiency might be a low pH. I don't know why my medium is getting so acidic. Did a flush and added some lime, it helped the last time. Hopefully I see this plant through flowers. Day 76....this plant is just loving life right now. Bus sites are getting bigger day by day. There's at least 10 bud sites, hopefully they all turn out to be fat and sticky. Day 77... doing good, no complains. Had a low pH run off earlier this week but I fixed asap.

I think everything is fine with this little girl, except for the insects' marks, she is beautiful and she is showing more dense coloring, because at night the cold is noticeable, you can even look at red or pink hairs, it is beautiful and begins to smell very rich, like a wood varnish
