What's up Growmies🤟🏽. Week # 8 is in the books🙌🏾 Hello week #9💪🏾 I went a little overboard on pictures this week, they are so happy and healthy that I got carried away. I know we are supposed to post pictures with the lights off, however it's something about the contrast it gives with the lights on that makes it look sexy to me😁. I have had to tie the stalks of both White LSD plants due to heavy sagging. I'm noticing with this strain the stalks seem to topple over even though the buds are far from fully developed. A trellis net probably would be ideal however I hate them. They are easy to put on but very difficult to take off come harvest. I use garden wire and string them as if they are puppets being controlled by the puppet master🤪. I continue my feeding schedule with the recommended "bloom" concoction using general hydroponics Flora series trio. I give them 1 liter every 3 days. I have them on a 2 to 2 cycle (feed them twice with nutes and then twice with plan water) I keep the p.h. around 6.1 to 6.6. Temps and humidity are in the perfect range I'm enjoying it while it last because spring and summer in VA makes it difficult to keep the humidity in check. All in all everything is going well for me and my ladies. I hope the same for all of you. Until next week my friends Happy Growing 🤟🏽 and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest 💪🏾

This week I switched from feeding them the General Hydroponics MaxiBloom to KoolBloom. I kept the same pattern with feeding. I feed them the nutrients then just pH'd plain H20 the following day. I pH at 5.8-5.9. I also defoliate as I go so the plant doesn't get stressed out and stop focusing on flowering. These ladies are definitely starting to stink and get sticky!

Not much happening this week. WPM treatment worked like a charm and they are looking great. Flipping the lights and installing the netting in next 2-3 days just trying to hold out for some equipment to show. Adjusted ties a few times throughout the week and canopy is kept even. Gave #1-3 another round of defoliation on day 4, last one before flip. Plants really filling out tent now. Grew 4" this week, looking nice and healthy for the flip. Extended my tents exhaust to 18' and temp/humidity still holding as set.

Gas tax x obama runtz there is not alot to update this week. They have not grown very much the past week. They got extra dark last time when I watered and gave 2ml per gal of grow big. They are still the smallest 2 plants in the tent. They both have started making their 1st set of leaves with 5 point although the other leaves have not started to get larger yet. I don't think they have rooted solid quite yet. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

So it is officially Day 28, start of week 4. This girl has been EXTREMELY STINKY since her 2nd set of leaves, a trait I have learned will generally yield some GASSY and DANK flower. I decided to remove all the fan leaves but the last 2 all the way at the top. The goal is to have all the internodes turn into multiple branches that can be clipped and cloned. No issues so far. Will keep everyone posted. I also applied some LST clips to the lower internode offshoots.

Frostbanger Auto + Lemon Cherry Cookies geerntet und muss sagen die duften schon verdammt lecker der Rest sieht auch gut aus werde im Laufe der nächsten 2-3 Wochen die restlichen Ladys ernten sobald mir die trichome gefallen Muss sagen das war eher ein Semi-guter Run es war einfach zu viel und ich hätte in der Blüte viel mehr Dünger geben sollen aber egal wieder etwas gelernt;)

They have reached approx 96cm (38"), recovered well from the defoliation, didn't appear to cause any stress. Started a timelapse with a cam i put into the tent to monitor growth, will be interesting to see the flowering period as they grow over the next few weeks, i will post that movie, all going well, on the final week before harvest. This week I slightly increased nutrient strength by .25ml as flowering progresses. The 8 Ltr feed pH was a little low at 5.5pH used some Silica + pH-UP to increase it to 6pH. The led light is at it maximum height in the tent now, so i'm hoping, as anticipated, that the four Bubblelicious Auto's will slow down their stretch and settle into just developing flowers and bud. The smell is certainly that of what is described in other reviews and grows, in the mid eveining it released sweet aromas of Bubblegum, comparable to Bubblelicious gum, it really is a nice aroma, definitely my favourite so far. Used my slow juicer on the defoliated leaves and put them into a Bubblelicious CBD Green Juice, the bag of cut ganja leaf supplied 3 x 50ml shots of CBD cannabis juice extract that was utilised over 3 days. CBD Green Juice Ingredience; Apple Celery Spinach Ginger Lemon Cucumber 50ml Bubblelicious CBD Leaf Extract A delicious healthy green juice, rich in natural enzymes, chlorophyll and cannabidiols, easily prepared with the slow masticating juicer. See Movie attached.

She's looking really good so far and the smell she leaves on your hands after handling her, incredible! Her old fan leaves are dropping off and today is the last day I feed her nutes. It'll just be flushing from now on and checking in on the trichomes every once in a while.

Привет 🖖 С новым годом 🎅 2022 самый ужасный год в моей жизни! Он был сложным во всем, экономический кризис, война....... Я добавил видео, это 2 ракеты 31 декабря упали рядом с моим домом, русские нацисты обстреляли жилой район, умерла девушка 22 года ей было..... 4 человека получили ранения..... Так страшно ещё не было! Мы встречали новый год под обстрелы ракет и звук сирен тревоги в полной темноте...... Россия государство террорист убийца 😣 Это мой блог и я хочу здесь делится своими чувствами и эмоциями, что бы больше людей знали что происходит. А теперь дневник. На этой неделе растения стабильно получали 20 часов света, это очень помогло им стать больше и сильнее. Я продолжаю тренировки LST. На этой неделе была обрезка веерных листьев, я часто практикую дефолиацию автоцветов. Надеюсь проблем со светом не будет, растения уже показали "усы" свой пол, значит стадия предцвета будет примерно через неделю, хочу что бы они стали ещё больше и набрали "мяса" массу. Ещё раз поздравляю всех с новым годом. Мира вам и вашим семьям, и мирного неба, что бы в ваш дом не прилетали ракеты. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

Cold most of the week. I ran lights 24hrs last few days so temps wouldn't dip below 60. Punch 3.0 may be showing a little stress from all of it. Looking good so far. Video is from Saturday - I normally use the vipar alone for veg, I added the UFO for heat for a couple of days. I expected it to be too much light for seedlings but they are taking it fine so far. I will see if I see a difference in growth from blue to red side.

The plants look and feel incredible, I can't wait to do some serious supercropping later into this week. Follow along! This should be fun. Day 3 flower update: holy cow I love these plants, I am having a ton of growth and turned the optic 8s up to 100/50/25 and going to leave it here until 9/1 then switch to 100/60/50 and see how they react. Clones got cleaned out today to a buddy so we can further a couple other strains, the Chempie cuts were exquisite. Side note a little bit of nutrient burn noticed on main girl ZKWC but not anything to stress about, washing machine mother does not seem to mind a higher EC feed. The last few weeks have been a 30 second watering once a day. As of today 8/23 I am switching to 5/5/2.5/2.5 ml/g for BasisA/BasisB/StartR/Calimagic. I am obviously not an expert grower, just a guy trying to grow some beautiful big fat flowers. Take my advice with a grain of salt but feel free to lurk and watch the results! So day 4 of flower I was contemplating what my goal for this grow is, and I settled on schwazzing this grow, I did it with my first photo grow in Hydro and had awesome success on all but two plants (weaker blue dream phenos did not respond well and I had all kinds of feeding issues not entirely sure they would've made it without the schwaz either but anyways...) So yeah we're gonna try it out. Plants are bouncing back quickly from everything, I supercropping a ton to really spread the plant out and I'll be throwing a trellis back up after they have a chance to reach.

Howdy, This week has gone well, plant seems healthy with no noticeable deficiencies. My res leaked because a tube I had in the back was in the wrong place but all is sorted now. Thinking it was a crack in the tub, I drained it... So I had to replenish with a new set of nutes which I'm going to drag out for another 5/6 days. PPM's are steadily dropping and PH is increasing so shes definitely ready for a richer feed. Also learned about different TDS with the whole 0.5/0.7 conversion rate. When topping for the 3rd time, I was a little too rough with one of the colas and it snapped without me realizing. I noticed about 2 hours later by which time it had already dried out a bit, its still alive but the growth is stunted. Added a bit of PK as I noticed a few fan leaves had purple stems, cleared up within 2 days and back to lime green 🙃🌱 Update 22/08 - Day 30 from Sprout. Changed out res as PH kept dropping and leaves started to go very slightly yellow. New nodes are already growing well, 3 times bigger than 2 days ago. I think I'm going to flip on or around the 6th of September, which means a total of 45 days veg, or 6 and a half weeks. Next couple of weeks will just be about pruning lower leaves and some HST/LST. Might get a scrog net, tried using a tomato hoop but the one I have is shit... Going well so far anyway!

Added a little time lapse video for y’all to see my journey - atleast this clone journey- with this strain. Hope you enjoy it. Every day is a learning experience and she is like that saucy best friend - keeping me on my toes. She got 2 gallons of recharge, increased liquid nutrients - finally, some new minor tip burn which is what I was looking for. It’s about 1.25 gallons per day to keep her moist, 2 gallons to even get a cup of run off. (Every 3rd day I saturate her). New nutrient addition this week is tps signal- which I had great success with during end stage on another run. Plus I had hoped it would curb her appetite more. But by the 31st….she still wasn’t happy. I yell at her - “my goodness woman, what do you want from me!?” 🤣🤣 Mega nutrient increase coming up. 🙂 - and I’m watching the trichomes closely. I’m taking a ton of the lower branches/larf for a 6 week flower CBG harvest. I intend to mix it with the final thc flower product to maximize the benefits of the plant in certain smokes/edibles.
