Week 10: This will be the final update before Harvest: I will update post harvest after the dry and weigh. Day 64-66: Hmm these 4AM are a strange bunch lol. I seemed to have been wrong about 4AM#3 getting better in last week's update, after reviewing the pictures. After realizing this I decided to continue feeding the plants till the end albeit only Calmg and Boost(micro). I decided to give 4AM#3 a 125% dose of Calmg on Day 66. I was worried about root rot because even though she was a bigger plant she drank noticeably less water than the rest. I actually forgot to mention I have had a few fungus gnats during the grow starting at around day 35. I always let the plants completely dry out even until some leaves were really drooping from thirst, so I though I had them under control. I never noticed more than 1 or 2 at a time, which is also why I thought I had it out of control. Maybe they have something to do with 4AM#3's state, but I doubt it. Anyway, 4AM#1 and #2 are doing well. #1 has fully ripened with almost 95% cloudy trichomes, and some amber. #2 on the other hand could still use 7-10 days extra, but regretfully I cannot harvest then... #3 is at about the same stage as #2. Day 67-70: Sadly I noticed too late, but that extra strong dose of Calmg seemed to confirm my suspisions... 4AM#3 had a heavy calmg deficiency... It really is noticeably improving this time! Leaves are regaining some slight saturation! And she drank her water very quickly this time! So bummed about having to harvest this weekend... Day 73... Oh well next time I will be able to harvest more freely and at different times for each plant if needed. She still has a good bit of cloudy trichomes on her calyxes though, around 40-60%, and very very few ambers, but her sugar leaves are already full of them. As for 4AM#1, looking great! gona be the smallest buds but definately the most dank! 4#2's massive buds are still having trouble staying upright, but looking forward to those for sure! RED ALERT: Shiiiit... So as I was watering 4AM#3 on day 69, I noticed, what I'm pretty sure is, BUD ROT! Damn, I'll have a picture as part of this update. I had very bad experience with bud rot last fall(planted my autos too late in the summer, lost over half my plants and had to harvest early), but that was with 10C temps and 80%+ RH. I have FOUR fucking fans in this damn tent, and it's always over 20C! But I'll be honest, I knew if it was going to happen, it would be THAT part of the plant positioned closest to that oscillating fan I have on the peace of wood... The bud closest to it(in the corner) is in it's blind spot, doesn't get direct breeze on it. And that's the bud, and the ONLY bud that seems to have been affected. Strangely though, this bud rot feels different to the touch than the one I had last summer. Very dry, and like I said, very isolated to that ONE little part. I cut it out and have the rest of the bud drying as a tester in my room. And my entire room STINKS. I seemed to have been wrong about that last week also; The 4AM smells so much stronger than the White Cracks. See you after the Harvest!! ;) It's been awesome and a fun learning experience!

Things to look forward to this week: More defoliating! Just trying to strike that balance of airiness and photosynthesis. Plus, I gotta get rid of a bunch of useless back-budding throughout the girls. Focus on that canopy! New dehumidifer on the way. It should be running by Wednesday. Hoping to get down the 45% RH for some arbitrary reason! And it will help me cure better too. I keep telling myself the money is worth it. Started treating my water with some calcium hypochlorite, a.k.a. pool shock, at a rate of 2 PPM which I've worked out to 0.15 g for 50 L (my standard tank build). That doesn't sound like much, but it is detectable on the nose. I'm not concerned about 2 PPM ending up absorbed in the plant, it takes in a certain amount of chlorine anyway and this is well below cannabis' phytotoxicity, apparently. The takeaway: it's safe, just like using city tap (many places) to water plants. 8/5/2019 - The girls look great. Went through and removed a lot of growth with a better sense of what to cull. Snipped a load of bud growth branches that would never make it to the top. They were mostly skrawny sucker branches and a few that would have made nice colas if they managed to reach the light. Gonna be picking out root rot and treating with H2O2 for the dead roots from site 5. Starting to see some brown, just need it not to spread to the living plants. Treating with a 2 PPM chlorine dosage to the reservoir. Had to purge the accumulators anyhow, so everything is being treated with antimicrobial now. I won't get to see them until after work tomorrow, any changes in health will be evident. 8/9/2019 - Dehumidifier #2 arrived today. It shows delivery at 12:20 and the driver placed it right-side-up, so I am good to start it right away. Immediately, I am a little surprised at how warm the air is coming out of this thing. I'll keep an eye on temps.... 8/10/2019 - Wow, the reservoir from the dehumidifier filled up in the middle of the 12 hour cycle and shut off automatically. Really pulled a lot of water out of the air! The temps got too high though. Not too long after lights on today, they temp read 90 degrees F, and I can't have that. Moved dehumidifier outside of tent and now draining into 5 gallon bucket. The tent is moving enough air that the humidity inside and out is the same. Seeing if it can lower the humidity enough outside the tent to benefit.

Both the girls are doing very well and are continuing to stretch. No problems at all from either one of the plants. They deff started sprouting there pistols and where Alaskan purple fell behind in veg, she is now ahead in the flowering stage. The bottom leaves shrivelled which I am aware this will happen during this stage so I cut them off and there is a little nutes burm on Alaskan purple so the next two feedings will be with distilled water with pH of 6.5.

Растениям от IZI осталось дней 7. Анубису дней 10-14, CloudWalker'у от двух недель, максимум 3, фенотип сативный + поздний зацвет (почти на неделю позже) Как тут внести новые удобрения? Добавить его в базу. Хоп-хей спамеры, кто зарабатывает хуй знает сколько в час? Общий вид не возможен - сломалась камера, только макро.

She has grown quite a bit over this past week. I'm excited to clone her and continue another cycle with good genetics. The watering routine remains the same, with alternating days of fertilizer and aerated tea. I also let it dry back for about 2 days. It's very healthy, with very green leaves and they're getting wider every day. I'll soon do a toppinp. See tou.

Chapter 18: The end. Cannabonsai was really starting to run out of juice, the tips of her larger sugar leaves were starting to show the same likely Ca / P deficiency as her fans, so I knew it was time. Duckfoot probably could've stacked another week or two, but I'm using the tent to dry, and I do prefer effects on the zippier side - so they both got the chop. Since this was mostly an outdoor grow and they had recent issues with caterpillars, I decided to do a bud wash. One look at that water and no regrets. Removed the fan leaves and hung full branches up to dry in the 60% humidity tent, though averaging a little warmer than I'd like at around 70 degrees. After about a week the hay smell dissipated, the smaller buds were moisture testing around 11%, so I bucked the branches into six-inch chunks and then let them sweat in paper bags for a few more days, rotating and airing out every several hours...just like the Grove bags say to do. When each bag stabilized around 62% humidity, I trimmed everything. Final yield dry was 1.7 oz (48g) for Duckfoot, and 1.5 oz (43g) for Cannabonsai, with an additional ounce (31g) of dry trim. I already know I can do better on the next grow. :) Early flower already smokes wonderfully - good taste, no hay, extremely potent, I would be very happy getting this from a dispensary. It's all in Grove bags now, can't wait to see how it cures up.

Very nice smell coming from this buds guys! Very good strain to grow, let's see how those buds keep developing, they still have a long way to go! I just cannot wait to see this flowers in a couple of weeks more, I'm only watering using pure water, the FLO Living soil blend provides everything the plant needs and you only have to apply h2o and that's it!. Hope you guys enjoy my work! 🤗👨‍🌾🙏💚💛🧡

Still feeding nutes plant decided it wants to extract stored energy from fan leafs that's fine that why I left some. I won't be doing a full flush. Amber trichomes are appearing on oldest trichome locations so one more week and that's it.

Had a malfunction with the PPM meter last week and ended up burning some of them but not real bad. Backing off the nutrients this week and only adding Cal mag. Two of them are filling out very nicely the other ones seem a little airy. Hopefully that will start to change this week. Still don't know what I'm going to do with a little midget she has hairs but really is not forming buds?

So this is how things are looking at the end of Week 8,going into week 9. Definitely one of my best grows yet, no issues whatsoever, great strain to run, if I like how she smokes (which I'm sure I will) I will definitely run her again.

Wie man sieht hatte ich viel zum wegschneiden, das erste mal wurde gedüngt die Woche, ansonsten läuft alles ganz gut denke ich, bin sehr zufrieden bisher 😊 As you can see, I had a lot to cut away, fertilized for the first time this week, otherwise everything is going quite well I think, I'm very satisfied so far 😊

As my previous experience, I decided to use 10L pots, which is the best ratio I had last year regarding quantity/soil. First week only with plain water, no Ph regulation

So today is the day i switch my plants to flowering lights schedule and flowering nutes, started with 1/4 the recommended dosage and will gradually up them, only boosters i left at recommended values. Ppm is 800. Next will be 100, then 1200 and maybe 1400. I plan to flush on days 16, 28, 35 and 42 of flowering, leave them to dry for 4-5 days so roots will oxygenize and help to stack more dense buds, and then add nutes. I plan to do the final flush for last 2 weeks with flawless finish. You can see some before and after training photos and videos from today, defoliated some leaves and LST-ing branches, spreading them out last time so light can reach smaller branches, after all she got some more stretching to do and its why i left sensi grow with more Nitrogen. I spent a lot of time training them now, hopefully it will pay out with massive buds :) Stay tuned and bye bye, as always i am opened to every grower here, i will help and share advices with everyone, i love to exchange opinions in order to come to your own conclusion, people who talked to me so far already know that..

I'd say last two weeks for most of my girls :) I started lowering the EC and starting to flush during this week. I've deciced to cut one of the girls early because I have nothing to smoke. It was crowded anyway so at least I made some more roome for the giant one which probably takes like 3 maybe 4 more weeks. Some trichomes looked cloudy so I think it wont be too bad even a bit early harvested. I have done some sampling and it looks very dense, FINALLY! most of my previous grows were not very dense but this looks just perfect. Cant wait for the later harvest and also next grow :) SOrry I didnt really take good pictures, was a bit lazy this week :) aloha see you next time

Moin, kurzer Stand der Dinge: Hier drinnen aktuell ordentlich warm, bis 30 Grad in der Box, aber alles noch entspannt und unter Kontrolle. Die Ladys riechen momentan extrem — fast so wie meine Achseln bei dem Wetter. Sie werden richtig schön harzig, mehr als vorher, und legen gut an Masse zu. So langsam fangen die Blätter an gelb zu werden, sie ziehen sich ihre letzten Reserven. Man merkt, es geht langsam dem Ende entgegen. Die FBC zeigt schon überall ein bisschen Bernstein. Ich geb den Mädels insgesamt noch so zwei Wochen, mal gucken, was noch geht.
