Hello everyone ๐Ÿ˜Š Week 22 = harvest week. Just cut the plant and she's hung up to dry. The plan was to keep the plant whole but I decided, due to my injured elbow, it would be smarter to just use separate branches. More lightweight buds to move around haha. I also splitted the stem in the final 5 days. Don't know if it will have some effect. I didn't wanted to take the risk for longer since I don't have a microscope. She flowered for 10,5 weeks so I guess she was done. I cut away al the leaves that had brown or crispy leaves/tips. The other ones I left. Also maximum branch lengths to slow down the drying process. Last year the buds were dry too quick. I hope to leave them hanging for 10 to 14 days now with a more controlled process . It's the first time im trying this technique. I will keep the airflow on point to avoid bad conditions. The room temperature is around 18ยฐ Celsius I guess. Average room humidity. I inspected the buds well and I think this is a good year ๐Ÿ˜Š no mold, lots of brown pistils and pretty compact. I flushed for 3 weeks so no chance on bad taste I guess. One minor thing : still some popcornbuds. Discovered them a bit too late after I already removed some others a few weeks prior. Minor mistake. The Harvest report will follow during November. Gonna let them dry well before testing. Thx to everyone who followed along with this round. I had some good advice and I learned a lot of good stuff. See u in 4 weeks for smoke report. Adios๐Ÿ˜‰

Hello everyone, Been busy but I shoot a little video for yall to see, also if growing is something you guys intended to do, I suggest you guys get yourselves a Digital Microscope or a jewlers loop. I just got myself a Digital Microscope for under $20.00 on Walmart.com, I got me a cheap one to start with so I can learn how to use it properly. But for under $20.00 this one brings 8 led lights, a adjustable mount, comes with 3 different connection choices build in, magnifies from 50-1000x, can take pictures and also videos and my favorite part, it connects right to my mobile device, you download and install a Google app and your ready to go, ill work with it and add pictures next week... See you guys soon ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š

This week went well. They stretched a bit when I still had them under the small lights after germinating while I was still sterilizing the big grow room. Didn't give any nutrients yet, but slightly introduced some root stimulant. I tried to support the stretched seedlings a bit with a wire as shown in the pics. Will update soon!

The honeydew fallout from the spotted lanternflys in the maple tree above have gotten out of hand. It's almost a constant mist. The only thing I could think to do beside moving them like an ancient Egyptian was adding a protective canopy of some sort. I wanted to get the clear poly weave but this green one was half price so went with it instead. With the way I have it oriented, it doesn't really block out that much direct sun too. In the morning and afternoon the angle of the sun is able to shine right on the plants. It's kind of a win win because should decrease my chances of mold later down the road towards harvest time if it does decide to rain a bunch. I tried washing the plants once this week with some light soap and water with a little baking soda mixed in. I rinsed with cone setting with hose right after and the plants were praying next day but i didn't have canopy up yet so they got hit again. I spotted several pale green assassin bugs on my plants so now Im a little nervous about washing the plants again because I want to keep them around. They are nymphs right now I may try to collect the ones i see become cleaning the plants one last time. Hanging that canopy was one of the more frustrating things I've done in a while. I wasn't sure If or how it would work but I has some medium gauge synthetic rope I tied to the eyelets and eventual 4 tree limbs. I had to bounce back and forth to get it tension climbing my fruit trees and 8 foot ladder. I originally disassembled an unused tomato trellis i built to use some of the lumber to build a post to tie off on in one corner but it ended up being at the wrong angle relative to the tarp and I started to get worried if a storm ripped it out of the ground. So I opted to used only the surrounding trees. After getting it all tension I realized that it was to far to one side leaving two of the plants almost exposed, so I had to come back the next day and re adjust but now I have it in a pretty good spot. I survived a decent storm already this week. Just hope it lasts. Overall making outside feel slightly leas stressful and anticipating more of a good harvest rather than just an experiment with my first outdoor grown.

Day 70 ..... lookin good.... she stable in flower now... neuts good, and stable... got her into a beautiful rutinue for the rest of the flower..... really happy with how it's going, she has a long flower 65-70 days i think.... thats 8-10 weeks in flower, so maybe 4-6weeks to go (6-20 dec) ........ she's going to be alot of work but will be well worth it, tasted her alittle, just the trim that had to come off, was enough to taste..... (dried the trim, curin in jar, try to add pic if i remember, lol) was a new experience goin thru the difficulties of transition to flower in dwc iws system ....... listed general nuets that i am using, however the 1-2 lt mix i put in every day or 2 is mixed up at the time, and is specific every time to ensure the tank remains at 5.8-6.4 ph-1-2k ppm.... i've stopped using the ppm meter for accuracy and use it only to get a general reading... in fact the ph meter and ec/ppm meters are not really workin properly any more, lol the blood bone and all the different stuff that i'm using puts alot of the readings as false/wrong ..... i can see where a nido system would be handy, maybe if i had the cash.... i gotta do all this the old fashioned way... elbow grease, hard work... haha this is some crazy news... random unknown mazar in that iws dwc pot... it's female as of the 2 hairs i saw this morning.... haha... so i'm thinkin, i may be able to put the mazar and ssh in main tent with all resources used.... that would put both mazar and ssh in iws dwc perfect pots in perfect conditions with max light and resources..... might do that, it would increase both flowering plants to 280 W leds... .... the reason mentioned this is because i can see she needs more light, the coloured light panels are poor quality cheapo..... gotta get my home made kick azz lights back in there.... lol ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘Š

๐Ÿ“… Week 13 | Days 92โ€“98 ๐Ÿ“… ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ Flowering Phase ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ Day 98 ๐ŸŒž โ€“ Oreoz ๐Ÿ”ธ Oreoz is looking like an absolute showstopper this week. The buds are incredibly dense and completely frosted with thick, glistening trichomes โ€“ it almost looks like theyโ€™ve been dusted with snow. Resin production is off the charts, especially on the top colas. Trichomes: Mostly milky with some still clear โ€“ no ambers yet. She's not quite ready, but getting close. ๐Ÿ”ธ Climate control has improved. Humidity started the week at 63%, but with the dehumidifier now running and all clip fans at full power, it's being maintained steadily between 50โ€“60%. That little climate shift is definitely helping โ€“ the buds are chunking up without any signs of stress. The slight 2โ€“3ยฐC increase in tent temperature is worth it. ๐Ÿ”ธ Nutrients: 1 week of Overdrive (Advanced Nutrients) before the flush phase. Water intake has already slowed down noticeably โ€“ another good sign that the end is near. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current Conditions ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ”† = 27ยฐC ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐ŸŒœ = 20ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 ๐Ÿ’จ Humidity = 63% โ†’ Target: below 60% ๐Ÿ”ฆ PPFD = 900 ยตmol (12/12) ๐Ÿ”ฆโŒš DLI = ~38 ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Setup (unchanged) ๐Ÿ’ก Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% โ›บ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 ๐Ÿฏ Pot Size: 18 liters ๐ŸŒฑ Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix ๐Ÿ’Š Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients ๐Ÿ’ง Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

The Gorilla Cookies are still doing alright, but 2 of 3 are showing some lockout or deficiencies. Despite this they are still doing ok. The one that doesnโ€™t have this issue is doing great, getting fat and greasy! They are starting to stink up my house, had to turn the fan off Auto and just keep it running non stop otherwise my entire house smells like the good good ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m not super concerned, I checked the runoff, and it wasnโ€™t too out of wack, 6.4 phโ€ฆ the leaves look like they are having some serious P and K deficiencies, but I donโ€™t want to feed anymore as we are approaching the end of their cycle fast, and they are continuing to develop, just not as good as they could have. RH was lowered, and temps have been consistent 77-79 degrees. Watering now approx. 3 litres every 4-5 days but I expect this to slow down soon. Happy Gardening ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโค๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

Ok I will Upload Pics from My phone ASAP, but I needed to go to the PC to write this faster, one of the plants that previously misgendered her as sativa was really an autoflowering plant showing her wild stretch! DAMN SHAWTY, thats so bizarre yet it's not as bad as it almost syncs with the change of photopheriod that was planned on 1st' Of October, SPOOKY TIME!. So the photos that happened between 27 and 31 september, shows that a plant was preparing for her flowering when she got in the mood, but i concern that now reducing my photopheriod to induce flowering on the other ones make these one the most wanky , less potent or less producer than ther siblings as in won't be in the best growing parameters.๐Ÿค• In terms of nutrient feeding , last Nitrogen Bomb before flowering, totally fine! here, as following action was throwing out some yellow leaves inspected as they block light for lower branche , and controling the plants height and wideness through diverse crude tools... involving Paper clips. ๐Ÿ“Ž Lights changed to more raw power and will be elaborated next chapter.๐Ÿ’ก Night Homies!๐Ÿ’จ
