FINAL WEEK? Feb 28th - pH 6.0, PPM 400, 0.8 EC, Temp 77f, Humidity 50% - What changed! 3 gals, hoping this to be the final week. The trichomes look good, just want to ensure all are sufficiently done and ripe. Mar 1st - pH 6.3, PPM 400, 0.8 EC, Temp 81f, Humidity 70% - Adjusted pH from 5.0, added water to adjust PPM from 550. Mar 2nd - pH 6.4, PPM 420, 0.8 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 55% - Adjusted pH from 5.4, added water to adjust PPM from 550. Mar 3rd - pH 6.4, PPM 460, 0.9 EC, Temp 77f, Humidity 62% - No adjustments. Mar 4th - pH 6.2, PPM 460, 0.9 EC, Temp 83f, Humidity 80% - Adjusted pH from 5.7, VPD is ass, no idea on how to change or fix it. I have 2 intakes and one exhaust, the room the cabinet is in is not high in humidity, just the 1.5x2.5 cabinet. :/ I have tried a dehumidifier, but in the end, it didn't collect anything after a few days, so truly at a loss, I've also tried defoliation, but I'm always afraid of doing too much, I mean I guess it's the last week/week and a half so it shouldn't be too bad to cut leaves off but damn, what about the earliest stages, shits going to be tough to dial in... Mar 5th - pH 6.3, PPM 430, 0.9 EC, Temp 85f, Humidity 70% - Adjusted pH from 5.7, seeing more purple on the buds, maybe I'll go another week just to see if any more color comes out. Mar 6th - pH 6.3, PPM 530, 1.1 EC, Temp 83f, Humidity 75% - No adjustments

We’ll week ten is here and I’m amazed to say the least. The girls are doing wonderful. Getting sticky and thick. Probably going to start flushing the zkittles and purple lemonade here in the next day or so. Most of the tricomes are milky noticed one or two ambering. The blackberry has another week I believe. They all smell amazing. Can’t wait to smoke them!

This week i only gave them 2 feedings, one only water and one with Enzym+ because last week I gave them lots of nutrients. I did that because they asked for it and could take it but in the other hand it was really hot so alot of feeding got evaporated which can result in a salty/old nutes medium. So with that in mind i let the enzymen do their work(cleaning and re-using nutrients) while making sure that i lower the EC in my pots down again because right now the weather this week is like 20-23 degrees with alot of rain, because of that, the plants don't drink up/evaporate that fast as they do when its hotter. Meaning i can't give as much water as they used to, so the EC in the pots will stay higher. A high EC is not a smart thing to have, plants will get a higher change of shutdowns, can even get diffiencies because of that. And the last thing a grower wants to have is heavy pots for lots of days LOL. ps, I should consider making 2 different buckets of feeding because my criticalkushes are still not showing signs of preflowering. To be honnest i'm not completely happy about the critical kush strain because the breeder promised a 100% Indica strain, which in my opinion is not. It is just another hybrid and a really slow one. pss, I will lower my EC in the comming weeks because I want my buds to get bigger and in later stages I will raise my EC again to make them compact,smelly,tasty,frosty, With high EC, you get compact,smelly,frosty,tasty but small buds, with low ec you get big but fluffy ones and not that frosty. This doesn't count for Autoflowers since they need way less ec... I did this many times with inside grows, we will see how it goes outside with these two strains.

08/27/2021 Been 7 days since last pictures. Pheno #4 was eliminated do to the fact she reversed (hermied) I believe that an outside light was at fault. ( lemon Thai) genetics maybe coming through. Others have not really been affected but pheno #2,3 may have been delayed a bit but no sign of hermies just not as developed as pheno #1(Hulk). Going to mix up a flowering tea (AACT) fungal dominant. Also topdress with Gypsum, and Diatomatious Earth before tea is applied. Gypsum Gypsum is calcium sulfate (CaSO4). Refined gypsum in the anhydrite form (no water) is 29.4 percent calcium (Ca) and 23.5 percent sulfur (S). Usually, gypsum has water associated in the molecular structure (CaSO4·2H2O) and is approximately 23.3 percent Ca and 18.5 percent S (plaster of paris). Diatomatious Earth Diatomaceous earth is a mineral-based pesticide and its composition is approximately 3 percent magnesium, 5 percent sodium, 2 percent iron, 19 percent calcium and 33 percent silicon, along with several other trace minerals 08/29/2021 Posted close ups of Hulk.

Well finally got word on my lights I’ll be picking them up tomorrow! Still keeping it light on the feed! Doing plant Guard once a week and feeding once a week! It’s going to fun changing out lights with a full room! But I couldn’t turn down the offer! But I’m ready to flip! But I might strip the plants a bit and give them a week to recover! I stripped them good a while back but looks like I didn’t do s damn thin now!🤷‍♂️🏽

Going well. Think I may flip in the next week. Don't want the plants to become too unmanageable for my first crop. Really enjoying the learning process. Thinking a t-break starting soon would make it easier to enjoy the harvest. Looking at getting some bubble hash processing equipment and a rosin press, my prefered consumption method from right at home. At this size what would an experienced grower expect in terms of yield? The strains seem hearty. Thinking- Flip: September 7 Harvest Window: November 2 – November 15 Drying: November 2 – November 16 Cure Starts: November 16 First Smoke: Early December Peak Quality: Late December – January

Day 41 Final trim for the Candy Rain! Also increased the ec from 2.75 to 2.90. I slightly decrease the temps now from week to week, till I am at about 18 degrees Celsius when it’s time to harvest.

She's stout and bushy so far, the canopy is very uniform despite not topping. Hoping to push hard for the stretch to match her sister. Smells good already!

Very happy with this strain, fast and frosty! Only going to become a better grower by working hard everyday. Extremely pleasing smell and terpene profile.

DAY 1 - Finally, the girls are ready for bloom stage. I mixed 75 grams of biobloom manure with soil, each for a 25-liter pot. I used schwazzing technique for defoliation. I gave short flowering fertilizer for indica genetics, also i gave for sativa long flowering fertilizer in half a dose. DAY 4 - Girls began to consume nutrients very quickly.

12/3 Week 10 Brandy being harvested in the AM Layla and Maggie got a PK 0-10-7 booster in 6.5 water @1 gal each still plenty of nuets in the pot just getting them all I can 12/4 Harvested Brandy numbers and pics also be in harvest week when others are done. Not bad for a little plant we did not give much hope of producing. Trics look good - Into the dry box as the tent is full. 206 Grams Wet *****UPDATE***** 12/8 78g dry *****UPDATE***** 12/10 tested 0.5g after decarb and yep all we could have wanted, sativa-ish with good legs. More later 12/5 Fed Maggie and Layla 1 gal each at 6.5PH 12.5ml/gal Soul Peak PK booster, foliar of full cal-mag at lights out just to be sure. Later Just as I hoped it sparked new hair growth, they standing up nice and pretty New plants in tent Quick foliar feed on Maggie, Cal-Mag 1 ml/qt 12/7 Last defoliation on Layla and Maggie just taking off the excess baggage and opening the air and light paths. Layla is definitely ripening but I think one more dose of PK perhaps if not just water. Decide tomorrow Maggie still aggressively building buds so she is absolutely getting more PK, remember there is Dr Earth in the pot so its not like she is being starved for other nuets. I think Maggie, being a sativa pheno, may go another two weeks. Layla has to stay until the drying tent is empty, not using the boxes unless I must. 12/8 0.75 gal ea @6.4 Peak PK 12.5ml/gal 12/10 Looking good still finishing off pics at lights out Tried to fix the nuet list , anything I dont use any longer or dry put to 0.01 dose. Want to be able to say some things about some of this stuff at harvest.

Entering pre-flowering. Calix and pistils appear, beginning of alternating growth, very stretchy. PK has grown a lot and well, the training made her very bushy, as I wanted it to be. A dozen of beautiful branches now have space to form beautiful buds. From now on I will let the main cola grow and stop to bend the main stem. Still no need 4 feed. 🤙👋

What a great strain...definitely surprised me positively. Thank you Exotic Seeds for the opportunity to work with you trying this awsome plant. It has a steady growth, kinda short and bushy like a lot of plants with strong indica traits Very dense buds, big ones, fat and resinous. With a LOT of productions all-over the plant. So much thricome production it sparkles white. Cutes it yesterday (17/12/2023) altough on my opinion it could have 1 more week. Altough because of the huge problem I had to do it. This grow tent (specially the other plant growing side by side) had a mold issue, bud rot spreading fast. I must have lost about 5 65 grams of wet flower total on the Fat Banana. When I cuted it 🍓 Strawberry Cola weighted 829 grams it has a lot of defoliation done alredy but I'll trim it 100% when dry. This is it, thank you all of you growmies for watching this grow. See u guys on the next one.

Able to start low stress and get these shoots to grow grow grow so I can get this space filled and let em rock!!!! I'm excited too cuz these are getting cloned right before I flip and then see how they do outdoors in my colder climate...
