Hit these girls with a topping at the end of their 3rd week. Also started them on liquid seaweed for added support. Update day 23: Transplant Update day 25: Defoliation

The heat stress is always a problem in my grows but now I have a new climatization system that can really help me !

She has been doing pretty good, no issues at all, she stretched a little bit more than I like but is fine. I'm very happy with this plant.

Another week is coming to an end, everything is fine with this girl, this one is a bit more rushed, judging by the color of the trichomes, for me it would be at the ideal point. I'm going to start watering with water and in the last week I'll do the flush with Cleanse. 💪✌️🌿

Looks like these are filling out now! Was worries about the look of 1 that wasn't getting any pistils hardly but seems to have kicked on! 💪 Smell is definitely increasing, lemony gassy power! 2 more weeks maybe and then we start some Overdrive and final flushing! Need some sativa Now!!! I am potato

Cracked a few stems, twisting them 2, 3 points in the main stem and once on each lateral stem, very early monstercropping, cracked the stem without rupturing xylem or phloem channels, minimal recovery, maximum stress and response. There is a new need for significant reinforcement. I know this knuckle will eventually require the throughput of a superhighway. No point in dilly-dallying. Growth grinds to a halt, at least it feels like that. Energy is now distributed fairly evenly to each stem at equal heights and equal light intensity. Growth is not slower; there is just far, far more to do all at once in equal measure, start raising her soil EC up to 1.0mS/cm and maintaining. Upped to 40DLI for now. Temps back in the daytime 87+ range. NPK Raw Grow to keep the soil water solution at 1.0ms/cm, thereabouts. Enzymes and amino acids are applied foliarly to the underside of leaves each night 🌙. Aim to coat the undersides of the leaves where the majority of the stomata are located. Use a spray with smaller droplets to increase the surface area of the leaves that are covered. Adding a surfactant to the mix can help the spray spread better on the leaf surface, improving absorption. Just remember not to add anything immobile.. Heat denatures enzymes. "blah blah what's the point? It's hardly going to do much." Plants have a surprisingly low photosynthetic efficiency, typically converting only 1% to 2% of the total solar energy that hits them into chemical energy. (Too much defoliation and high VPD all night). In fully optimized conditions, that rises to 6%-8% efficiency. Plants may use approximately 25% of their respiratory energy (50% of total respiration) for enzyme turnover, which includes production and repair, but the exact energy cost for heat damage repair is not specific, as the total respiratory energy is not definitively given for plants. Plants generally have a high protein turnover rate, with enzymes making up a substantial portion of this turnover. 10% total ATP is photosynthetically processed. 90% total ATP is processed during cellular respiration. 25% -50% total respiratory energetic output is spent on enzyme turnover (Ballpark). Sounds like it's worthwhile to me. The longer you have waited, the harder you must swing.

Everything is looking good so far. They’re all done stretching and the cheese and black garlic have stretched the most. I adjusted each plant with boxes to create a more even canopy. Buds are swelling up nicely. The two black berry breath plants are looking swollen and fantastic. I don’t like the structure and bud size of the black garlic plants and will not be running them again. Although, they’re getting quite keify and the breeder claims they have a genetic trait that make them put on most of their weight late in flower. So far I’m not too impressed by their size. The seedsman Badazz OG cheese has got good node spacing and structure but has very little trichs and smaller buds. I was just running the cheese to test old European genetics and my bias is starting to confirm my bias. Dutch and Euro genetics are shit. The slurricane #4 is looking fantastic in terms of frost but the buds are lacking a little in size. I’m going to do the 21 day strip today. I should have done most of this defoliation earlier in veg but right now is still fine. Ice cream cake #1 hermed which isn’t at all surprising so I scrapped her. At least it gives me more space to get in and tend to the rest of the plants. I got a pump sprayer to get in a bit closer to the plants as well.

Unfortunately I had to harvest early due to personal reasons. I am proud of my harvest though. The buds could have gone another week but that’s fine. The trichomes were to my liking. They’ve been drying for about 5 days now. All in all it was a pretty easy grow, just water every couple days and top dress every 3 to 4 weeks. I did make some very potent canabutter from the trim 😋

I thought I just had two of this strain, but it turns out that the 134g plant was actually a C4 hybrid! It isn't as pungent smelling as the others, but seems to have it's own unique flavor going on. I like it! 115g - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] 134g - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] 151g - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4]  TOTAL: 400g 👍

The ICE is almost done; the NL doesn’t even seem close. Interesting since ICE sprouted a day later than the NL.

I will start by saying a BIG THANKS at Barney’s Farm for sending their genetics. As always I will follow The Grow Boss growing recommendations ( except one of a kind under one lamp ) I will use Cellmax Nutrients as they have increased the final quality of the last crop. So, welcome onboard this new trip to the Jumanji Jungle , fasten your seatbelts and enjoy an 18 weeks journey on my GrowDiaries 😉 ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower , Mineralogist or Quality Control and Management ) Using a 2 x 55w STARLITE SuperPlant at 30cm to start. Germination have been done in water at first then in cotton once the germ start to show and finally when the germ is about 1cm long I put them in UGRO Rhiza Coco plugs with just a pinch of mycorrhizae powder. Keeping the plugs moist but not dampened ☝️ Seedlings have sprouted 2 days ago , in a perfect spring condition with no wind , on the 3thd day B4RNS says shall the wind start to blow and the wind started to came up gently.... doing my own Genesis 😄😂😊 (Growers tip: no wind = seedlings getting looney for the light will need a stick or support) [Day 4] Tranplanting into 1.5L pots Water + RootBooster + AllZymes

FINISHED THE 2ND WEEK OF FLOWER, THEY REALLY FILLED OUT NICE FROM THE MAJOR DEFOLIATION I DID 3 WEEKS IN A ROW .SEEDS PUT INTO THE SOIL ON JUNE 22ND SORRY TO EVERYONE WHO TRIES TALKING TO ME....I STILL CANT TALK TO ANYONE BECAUSE I TRIED CHANGING MY EMAIL ON HERE AND IT MESSED EVERYTHING UP. I CANT LIKE ANYTHING OR COMMENT ON ANYTHING. THE WORST IS I CANT JOIN CONTESTS STRIVE NUTRIENTS IS THE BEST IVE EVER USED. A MUST TRY AND I BUY IT MYSELF. GOT A SAMPLE LAST YEAR AND ITS SO GOOD I BOUGHT MORE. ITS A 2 PART POWDER NUTRIENT THAT DISSOLVES IN MINUTES AND YOU MIX THE SAME STRENGTH OF THE 2 PART NUTRIENTS FROM WEEK 2 UNTIL THEY ARE FINISHED (BESIDES THE FLUSH), NO MORE BULLSHIT OF SWITCHING TO BLOOM FERTILIZER. THATS MY FAVORITE THING BESIDES THE RESULTS. CHECK EM OUT AND BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE ITS NO BULLSHIT, AWESOME FRIENDLY AND HONEST PEOPLE

🗓️ Week 13 – Flower Week 9 ✅ (Final Phase & Flush) 🌿 General The final phase has begun – all plants are now in flush using Flawless Finish, and visible fade-out is setting in. Trichomes on Cherry MAC Muffin are mostly milky with the first signs of amber – the harvest window is opening 🌕✨ pH is stable at 6.2–6.3, and runoff EC is slowly decreasing as nutrient reserves are being properly depleted. 🍒 Cherry MAC Muffin – Status ➤ Initial runoff was high at 3.7 EC, likely due to salt release from the substrate ➤ Now stable at ~2.7 EC ➤ Still showing vigorous growth, with vivid colors and heavy resin production 💪❄️ ➤ One more thorough flush planned next watering, then the final dry period begins. Flush Setup Using CalMag at EC 0.3 + Flawless Finish (2 ml/L) Fade-out is clearly visible and progressing as planned. 🕒 Harvest is just a few days away!
