Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Hey guy and gals, So, I was going to prune the girls tomorrow, but a mate dropped a half over, got stoned and decide, Bugger It!, so we hooked in today. I did take some after shots. Should have done 'before and after, but, I was STONED !' The girls look happier, more sprightly, less 'HEAVY'. Saved the biggest and best fan leaf for a mate. He is amazed at the leaf size. Then earlier today, when he dropped in ;-) , he had a look and near dropped. Big Bud has so many nodes, he was shocked. The FIMing/Topping, whichever I did has done amazing things. On a side note, I haven't grown heaps before, so this grow is amazing me. Previous grows got small buds, small amount, only just covering the cost of my setup (Hydro at the time and tent). I now have a BIGGER tent, am using SOIL and they are thriving. Personally, I think the water is the major factor, but also my 'dedication'. I check the girls 2-3, maybe 5 times a day (viewing port). Regular PH, moisture and such checks. I even put a sticky fly strip in there, as a bloody fly got in. This grow, besides the constant checking, I have Fim'd/Top'd, I have pruned them to promote growth. Basically, I have learned heaps, both from here and videos. I have re-read pretty much everything I read previously, tweaked a little and it seems to be working. Northern Lights is still a week or a bit more away from a prune, I think, then we will give them a couple more weeks and turn them to flower. I am aiming for a Late May/Mid June harvest, then a month in jars to cure. All going well, I will have a heap of and great choice, for my birthday in July :-D So, feel free to let me know how they look. Shoot through any advice. Hope you are enjoying my story :-) Have just uploaded some more photos, showing the girls, after their beauty treatment :-) All are looking fantastic, Hope you like the images. Just discovered Vipar Spectra have created a 1000W LED which uses a micro 100W to achieve this. The Vipar Spectra Pro Series P1000. I will be looking to buy myself one for my Birthday in July.

The super skunk feminised is doing well through her recovery. Her leaves are smoothing out more and leaf colour is stabling. I removed the bottom leaves. Her stem is reverting back to pale green. She is still growing gaining 4cm this week. I will need to continue the drying out substrate methuntil she is fully recovered. She stands at 42cm tall

Écologique, restructurant, la terreau enrichie et aère le sol durablement - notamment les sols argileux - tout en lui redonnant jeunesse ! Composition : • 1,2% (N) total • 0,4% (P205) • 0,8% (K20) • 49% de MO • C/N : 22,4 • PH : 7,3 Le charbon végétal actif est capable d’absorber jusqu’à cinq fois son poids propre en eau ainsi que les éléments nutritifs qui s’y trouvent. Il joue ainsi le rôle de catalyseur et d'amplificateur pour les fertilisants traditionnels, qu'ils soient d'origine organique ou minérale. Ce pourquoi il est idéal pour activer un sol et pour les thés de compost oxygénés. Le charbon végétal améliore la diffusion et la disponibilité des éléments nutritifs dans le sol et offre des conditions propices au développement des micro-organismes. Le Biochar peut être introduit dans une grande variété de sols. Il est particulièrement efficace dans les sols pauvres, difficiles et acides. Pour faire agir rapidement et efficacement sa capacité d’amendement, le charbon végétal est enrichi et biologiquement activé avec des micro-organismes. Le Biochar se comporte ainsi comme un structurateur et un activateur dans le but de valoriser les sols. Composition : • Charbon végétal actif 31% • Matière organique 33% • Matière sèche 75% • C/N : 17 • PH : 7,2 • Azote (N) : 2,1 % dont 1,2 % azote organique • Phosphore (P205) : 0,74% • Potassium (K20) : 1,18% • Calcium (Ca) : 6,8% • Magnésium (MgO) : 0,65% Le lombricompost apporte à la plante des éléments nutritifs tels que l'azote, le phosphore et le potassium, qui sont essentiels à sa croissance. En outre, il contient de nombreux oligo-éléments et micro-organismes qui peuvent être bénéfiques pour la plante. Le lombricompost a également une forte capacité de rétention d'eau et peut améliorer la structure du sol, ce qui peut être bénéfique pour les plantes. En utilisant du lombricompost, vous pouvez ainsi favoriser la croissance de vos plantes de manière naturelle et écologique. Le lombricompost est un fertilisant, amendement organique à la formule haut de gamme. Totalement naturel, il résulte de la digestion de fumier bovin et équin par des vers de terre. Les lombrics transforment ces déchets en un compost riche en nutriments et en micro-organismes bénéfiques pour les plantes. Le lombricompost présente une texture fine et friable, regorgeant de nutriments essentiels tels que l’azote, le phosphore, le potassium et d’autres micro-organismes bénéfiques pour les plantes. Son utilisation améliore la qualité du sol, favorise la croissance des plantes et contribue à la conservation de l’environnement en réduisant les déchets organiques. Le lombricompost est donc une source naturelle de nutriments et de matière organique pour les plantes, et peut être utilisé comme engrais ou comme amendement du sol. Il surpasse ainsi le compost, grâce au travail du lombric (E. Foetida) qui transforme le fumier en un super compost ! 10kg de fumier sont nécessaire pour obtenir 1kg de lombricompost. Composition : • Matière sèche 65,3% • Matière organique 48,7% • Ph 7,9 CE 5,98dS/m • Azote (N) 2,4% dont NO3 0,28% • Phosphore (P205) 3,2% • Potasse (K2O) 3,8% • Acides Humiques 6,2% • Acides Fulviques 0,9% • C/N 11,8 La luzerne fait un excellent paillis, c'est un inoculum de bactéries et de champignons !

PH : 8,4. Une zéolithe se comporte comme une « Super Argile » perméable qui retient l’Azote et les éléments minéraux nutritifs au voisinage des racines et les relâche lentement en fonction des besoins de la plante. Cela se traduit par une croissance constante mais rapide du végétal. La zéolithe permet de réduire à la fois le nombre d’arrosages et la consommation en fertilisants car ces derniers sont moins soumis aux effets du lessivage et de l’évaporation. Améliore durablement la fertilité foncière des sols. Peut s’utiliser en mélange à tous types de substrats. Récolte les surplus d’eau et réagit à la chaleur en suintant. Diffuse lentement les éléments minéraux nutritifs et l’azote retenus dans l’eau (évite l’acidification des sols. Riche en oligo-éléments, permet un développement racinaire soutenu. Retiens les pollutions des sols (nitrate, mercure). Se mélange à tous types de substrats et toutes les cultures. Idéal bonsaïs, plantes arides Accroit la capacité d’échange globale du « complexe argilo-humique ». Agit comme anti-mottant. Allège les sols lourds et bloquants trop argileux en améliorant le drainage et le ressuyage en surface. Volume poral de 47%. Améliore la structure des sols en s’opposant à l’acidification de ceux-ci par son effet tampon et par le retard de la nitrification de l’azote ammoniacal. Apporte des oligo-éléments. Augmente la résistance au piétinement. Diminue la fréquence des rempotages. Empêche le pourrissement des racines. Favorise la ramification. Modère le développement des mousses. Permet des économies d’eaux et d’engrais. Résiste au dessèchement et diminue la formation de « feutres ». Retient l’eau sans changement de volume. Sert de support aux microorganismes, ce qui contribue à la dégradation des déchets de coupes. Les zéolithes sont des roches cristallines, présentant des capacités d'adsorption particulièrement importantes vis à vis des polluants que l'on rencontre dans l'eau et dans certains liquides, ainsi que dans l'air et les gaz. Elles sont extrêmement poreuses comme les charbons activés et elles peuvent être chargées électriquement pour opérer comme des échangeurs d'ions. La zéolithe est un produit naturel qui respecte notre environnement. Utilisé dans le milieu industriel depuis de longues années déjà, ce minerai aux propriétés filtrantes particulières commence à se vulgariser dans le domaine de la piscine privée, de l'aquariophilie, des bassins d'agrément, de la récupération des eaux de pluie, ou encore de la culture des bonsaïs et autres plantations diverses par exemple... 4 points techniques majeurs : - Grâce à leur propriété hydrophile, les zéolithes peuvent adsorber l'eau jusqu'à 30% de leur poids total et sans aucune variation de volume : pas de gonflement en présence d'eau ni de craquement en cas de déshydratation comme certaines argiles. Les zéolithes sont d'ailleurs de puissants agents anti-mottant (anti-agglomérant). Cette propriété est très appréciée dans le cas des terrains de golf et autres aires de jeux. - Les zéolithes ne captent pas l'eau de façon irréversible, elles se comportent comme une réserve au voisinage des racines. Celles-ci peuvent capter l'eau en fonction de leur besoin. Les zéolithes permettent ainsi de réduire les besoins d'arrosage jusqu'à 35 %. - Une zéolithe se comporte comme une "Zone de Stockage" qui retient l'azote et les éléments minéraux nutritifs au voisinage des racines et les relâche lentement en fonction des besoins de la plante. Cela se traduit par une croissance harmonieuse mais rapide du végétal. - La capacité d'adsorption et l'énorme rapport surface/volume des zéolithes, vont permettre à la fois la rétention de la solution du sol et une bonne oxygénation au voisinage du système racinaire. Les zéolithes favorisent donc l'organisation biologique des sols en contribuant au développement de la micropopulation. L'apport en nutriments (N, P, K) est réduit de 20 à 25 %. Ces derniers, adsorbés par la zéolithe, sont beaucoup moins sensibles au lessivage et à l'évaporation. Composition minéralogique : Chabasite 70 % Phillipsite 2 % Feldspath 5 % Augite 3 % Illite - Mica 2% Analyse atomique: Sio2 52 % AL2o3 17 % CaO 5,7 % K2O 6,1 % MgO 2 %, Na2O 0,6 % Fe2O3 3,6 % Cerevisiae Souche LYCC 6420 STIMULE LA VIE DU SOL PAR DÉCOMPOSITION 100% naturel, sans OGM et sans additifs, il a une action rapide qui permet la libération d'éléments nutritifs et la stabilisation des agrégats. Conséquences ? Les besoins de la plante sont synchronisés, meilleur rendement et qualité à la clé ! • Stimule les population de micro-organismes « décomposeurs » : +32% de population 24 heures après apport • Libère les éléments nutritifs fixés sur la matière organique : 40 à 50 U d’N, 5 à 15 U de P, 15 à 30 U de S libérées 1 à 3 mois après apport • Améliore la structure du sol : stabilisation des agrégats • Réduction de la fertilisation minérale et préservation de l’environnement Sous forme de poudre mouillable.

En contrepartie, elle stimule la croissance racinaire en sécrétant des métabolites de croissance et solubilise le phosphore en sécrétant des phytases (enzymes). Effet probiotique consistant en l’utilisation de micro-organismes bénéfiques pour la nutrition et la santé des plantes.

AK 47 is not an auto so that was binned. But actually it was good because it was far too cramped. 2 plants tops next time. Added in overdrive as its 2 weeks out from breeders harvest timeline. The GSC really needs to fatten up in these last few weeks, not pleased so far seeing as it is in hydro with perfect ph the whole time. The glue and gorilla cookies are amazing. VERY thirsty averaging 2-3 litres a day of strong 1600 ppm nutes. It’s on a two a day watering cycle now. terpinator, rezin, overdrive, sumo active boost, nirvana added mid week. I was using bud factor X but it’s now so expensive it’s out of production so switched to terpinator. Ppm is a little high in the hydro but no burn or issues so far. Just a few heat stress curls on leaves. Should end up with very sticky buds with all those added.

Usually I start my diary after they all pop but I’m feeling lucky and especially green this round. After numerous failed attempts at getting auto seeds from various sources and not having them pop no matter what I did. I finally got in touch with THSeeds and told them that the Critical Hog auto they sent me were totally bunk and not one popped. They had Truenorth seedbank send me this bubblegum Within a week of my complaint. I’m hoping these are fresh vigorous seeds and after much touch up learning on seed popping Iv decided to go straight from the water cup to the medium which is Black Gold seedlings mix in the center 6 inches of my coco soil so to give them a easy start with no added nutes. So it begins.... Stay tuned fellow growers!

The Harvest Prelude: After a patient wait and 48 hours of darkness, the moment arrived. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, standing proudly like a silent guardian, was ready for the grand harvest. The sound of each cut echoed through the grow space, reminiscent of felling a mighty tree. The compact structure of the buds was awe-inspiring, a testament to the ninja's disciplined growth. The Lego Ninja, like a stoic warrior, was then hung upside down, beginning a two-week drying ritual. Maintaining an ambient temperature of around 21°C and a relative humidity of 60%, this slow-drying process allowed the buds to retain their essence, preserving the symphony of terpenes and cannabinoids. The trimming phase unfolded like a fragrant masterpiece. Each bud, adorned with a glistening layer of resin, transformed the trimming process into a sensory delight. The zesty aroma of oranges enveloped the room, a tangible expression of the tropical lineage. The compact buds made every snip a careful dance, revealing an abundance of frosty trichomes. The moment of reckoning arrived with the scale's unveiling. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja, from a single plant, bestowed upon me 309 grams of dried medicine. Each gram was a treasure trove of cannabinoids, a promise of euphoria and relief. The sheer compactness of the buds translated into a concentrated potency that left me in awe. In parallel, the clones, nurtured with equal care, showcased a fascinating divergence. A twist in the tale unfolded as the intense oranges of the mother transitioned into vibrant tangerines. This unique expression, I believe, was a testament to the clones weathering a summer heatwave differently, bringing forth a distinct personality. The clones, resilient and generous, gifted me a bountiful 549 grams of pure joy. This now my keeper of the garden, an embodiment of the Lego Ninja's legacy. The harvest dance, though familiar, carried the nuances of tangerine zest, a refreshing twist that left me eager to explore its intricacies. Both harvests shared a common thread—their resinous abundance. The trim bin, akin to a treasure chest, gleamed with golden trichomes and fragrant joy. Sticky fingers became a badge of honor, a tangible connection to the resinous richness that filled the room. Shout Outs: No harvest report is complete without expressions of gratitude. A special nod to @DutchPassion_Official for crafting the genetic marvel that is the Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja. Their expertise paved the way for this epic journey, and I tip my hat in acknowledgment. In conclusion: As the dust settles on this epic harvest saga, my heart brims with happiness and excitement. The Tropical Tangie Lego Ninja has proven itself not just as a plant but as a living masterpiece. Stay tuned for the smoke report, where we delve into the true essence of this botanical ninja's legacy. Until then, fellow cultivators, may your gardens flourish, and your harvests be as bountiful as the joy they bring.

Buds are drying in a 55% relative humidity! They are already trimmed & in about a few days they will be cured in the grove bags! Happy with the end result for this run!

El 4 de ocubre se cambia el ciclo a 12-12. El 7 de octubre se pueden apreciar en el video varias marcas de super cropping que hice tratando de controlar la altura, esta hay una planta en concreto que crece rapidisimo y con mucho vigor, después también resultará ser la más sabrosa. Digna de haber hecho madre

Muy satisfecho con la genética ya que el olor era lo que estaba buscando, el efecto es bastante relajante y me pareció muy agradable para pasar con amigos y trabajar.

She has started her bloom. She is growing so well. This week I took off all her tie downs. Then 2 days later decided to tie her back down. She has had steady tension on her branches. So when I released her, she tightened back up. With the ties on, there is little reason for defoliation, as of now. She gained height, but nothing crazy. All her main top branches have always been pulled down to be side branches. Everything else was let to grow that came up the center. Really the side branches are the top of the canopy. Surprised I have not broke a branch. 8/26 2 gallons Fed 8 tablespoons Foxfarm Big Bloom, 15 MLS Tiger bloom and Foxfarm Open sesame 1/2 teaspoon. 8/30 Gallon and a half of tea. Cow and worm poop. Every year I'm going to grow a photo in a different shape. This year I just wanted to see how many tops I could make. Looking forward to next year's design. However not as much as I want to see what this voluptuous beauty produces. Voluptuous seems to be very fitting for her. Love this plant, she has been very fun to grow. She also thought me a lot.

Day 3 so after mites and a mishap with the wrong detergent. We are back with my next try at growing Sugar Breath, which has to smell better then new puppy breath. As of Saturday Fozzy Bear (we wanted it Fozzie but official paper work says otherwise) joined the family and his new big brother Buddy. He has already grown a few inches since we got him but god is he ever cute, and god bless Buddy for taking his playful shit since

So far she’s growing great, I noticed she was a bit finicky with the nutrients at 75% strength, I noticed a couple claws here and there so I only fed big bud and sensi bloom and a little lower strength and she reacted great to it.
