Still wet, but I am very happy with the result for my first grow :) The autos grew much bigger than I expected and I underestimated the growth spurt during flower, so I had increase the setup beyond what people might see as pure budget. Anyway I can't wait to try :)

BOOMING. Have had an unusual amount of thrips and noticed a few Katydid nymphs on Tuesday (7/22), so I hit everything with 1.5tsp Neem Oil and 1 tsp of Dr Brommers soap in a 1 qt sprayer. I also decided to do my only planned dusting of Diatomaceous Earth. Executed that on Wednesday, 7/23, and also top dressed with DE to attack larvae. Thursday 7/24 Mixed up first batch of flowering top dressing. I put it into a 55 gal garbage can and watered it to get the cooking process started. Will only let it go for a week or so and then will top dress the girls.

Not much to report this week from the garden. All the plants received a top dressing of about 300ml worm castings and 80ml Dr Forest Organic 284 Bloom just before the start of week eight, and will most likely be their last feeding. The plants have stuck to the usual watering schedule of 2.5l every two days. The huge Wedding Cheesecake growing in Coco Coir appears to me to be showing signs of cal/mag deficiency so yesterday I top dressed with Cal/Mag again from Dr Forest Organics. Keeping humidity under 45% has been a battle well and truly lost this week, and has varied wildly and constantly between around 41% and 57% but has been most often found to be around 47%. The battle rages on. I have been defoliating once a week, mainly just removing stuff covering bud sites, and trichome production on all four Bruce Banners has really taken off. After only a fairly light defoliation session, my hands were so sticky they were almost glued together and I rolled all I could remove from my hands into a sausage and smoked it mixed in with my other stuff, but that was only about 1/2 to 2/3rds of what was stuck to my hands, and I have to wash my hands in isopropyl alcohol and soap and fairly liquid 3 times before the best part of it was removed.

After the disaster with germinating the expert seeds Gorrillas, I was a bit disheartened, was so looking forward to them. But we just follow up strong by planting a Dutch Passion Skywalker Haze instead. Will be starting that diary this week, lets hope she germinates. And it looks like we might be lucky, one tiny seedling came up from the 5 expert seeds, looks like a bit of a runt now and doesnt grow as fast as the Dutch Passion Orange Hill Special. I wil put another Orange Hill in the tent if this doesnt work out. Last week was a hot week and rising temperatures inside and out of the tent, I decided to to remove the driver from the SP-3000 and put it outside of the tent. This light looks even sleeker and sexier this way. Also a dream to deinstall, 5 minutes. But my victory last week was my invention of my custom top down oscillating fan. Which comprises of a standing oscillating towerfan, hung horizontal by just making a little hole in the foot and hanging it sideways. It works like a charm. The tower has optional oscillation so I can choose to just cool the light or sway through the entire tent. Very happy with that and still very happy with the light by @MarsHydroLED, thanks so much.

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop, which had an enhanced and more potent THC content and was more intense in terms of smell. The third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL, which has a similar THC content but an enhanced heavier yield. The smoke is incredible, with an outstanding flavor of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its earthy solid scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene, which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odor. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain, and the effect is well-balanced, developing mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The intense solid aroma starts early in the flowering period; if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors, you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse these babies' stinky "road kill" aroma! Cheese XXL is a cheese strain suited to indoor setups and thrives outdoors well. These feminized marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mold and disease and produce a substantial harvest that professional and amateur growers can quickly achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding. Break open the buds ready for use, and you'll see why the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis, so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency, and flavor, Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice.

It was another great week here in the grow room plants have come leaps and bounds low stress training is really having a huge effect on canopy density and i cannot be happier

Terpenes are like an invitation to travel I’d say to Brazil, on Copacabana beach, sipping a citrus and passion fruit caipirinha!🤤🤤 *Autoflowers and Fast Flower have the same terpene profiles, but with Fast Flower, the terpenes come through way more powerful💥

This week was similar to last week. Rain every other day with intense sun. There were no major changes I made. I did slide my pots over a few feet to try to catch more sunlight. Mainly just been on scouting duty making sure there are no questionable bugs hanging around. A few things seem to take a liking to them but leaving them lone for the most part. One thing I noticed with the autos is that they seemed to adapt a whorled phyllotaxy along with the lemon ak that started with 3 from seed. They got their weekly does of boogie brew, but think I will stop feeding after this week.

2024-07-28 2 Opium Plants remain in my Outdoor Garden.

Day 39 Light Cycle 18/06 Air Humidity 52~57% Temp 20~26ºC The plants are stretching up very fast and getting bushier. I moved the light cycle back to 18/06 and dimmed the TS 100 to 100%. The plant nº 3 is drinking more water so it was watered with 1 litter today. Day 41 Light Cycle 18/06 Air Humidity 65 ~70% Temp 20~28ºC Yesterday, the plants were top dressed with 10g of EcoThrive Charge mix with soil and watered with 200ml plain water. and today I gave the regular dose of nutrients (1L on each) The plants were defoliated, and I try to spread the maximum I could on the scrog. Overall, they are looking very healthy and vigorous. All the secondary branches are stretching up rapidly. I can wait to see the results

SHERBERT QUEEN AUTO / RQS WEEK #11 OVERALL WEEK #6 FLOWER This week she's doing good nothing negative to report her buds are growing and she's got good trichome coverage and that sweet aroma to her.

📅 D29 - 12/09 📜 Entering in the 4th week of vegetation, almost ready for preflowering. Today I made a big defolation and tied up the main branches with LST. Focus strongly on res as it has a strange behavior (EC falling and pH static). If tomorrow will be again like this, I will completely change the water and I will set a lower EC. T and H are now under control. ✍️ 1,3 EC ♒ 5,5 pH 🌊 9,5 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D30 - 13/09 📜 Today I made a big defolation, cutting all the branches not interesting. Sadly I cut also one of main branch by mistake. Too bad, I'm very upset. Added 1,5 L of water with EC = 1,43 and pH = 5,8. ✍️ 1,29 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D31 - 14/09 📜 I made some LST in order to cover the space of the broken stem and leave more space to the other branches. Today I not feed her, waiting for tomorrowv to add 1,5 L. Lucy is almost ready for SCROG. I think she will start soon, for sure this week. The res EC and pH seems stable now. T and H are under strict control. ✍️ 1,29 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 10 L (added 1 L) 📏 9 cm 📅 D32 - 15/09 📜 I start ScrOG training today. Tommorow I will change the res as I don't like how pH and EC are moving. pH tester is broken again, I purchase a professional one for a lot of money. I hope this will do his job for long time. ✍️ 1,2 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 8,5 L (added 1 L) 📏 11 cm 📅 D33 - 16/09 📜 Big News: Lucy starts preflowering. A little bit earlier than my tought but I think I can manage, as she looks great right now. I also changed the res, pushing the EC until 1,45 and turned on the flowering lights.The ScroG Net is working fine, I guess. Update: T is really too high (now near 36 °C) as I turn on the bloom lights. I'm trying to fix the problem in a creative way: I put some dry ice just in front of area injector and T lowered a little. H is in between 70% - 85%. ✍️ 1,4 EC ♒ 6 pH 🌊 10 L (new res) 📏 15 cm 📅 D34 - 17/09 📜 Lucy in ple flowering stage and the buds are starting grow very fast. The ScrOG net works good until now. I've some problem with the Temp, cause it's always around 35 °C that is too much.. I need to keep the H in between 75% - 85% to balance such high Temp but it's quite difficult. The reason of such high T is because I turned on the bloom lights. Also, today I had a strange beahavior of pH that is decreasing. Now I fix it on 5,5 but I've to be prepared to change res again. Made also some defolation. ✍️ 1 EC ♒ 5,6 pH 🌊 9 L 📏 15 cm 📅 D35 - 18/09 📜 Last day of fouth week and last of vegetation. Today pH gone again down 5,5. I added 1 L. of water with normal nuts, pH+ and also GHE Pro Bloom, raising both pH and EC. I will change the res on monday, as soon as I will have affordable measuring tools. SCroG seems working very well and Lucy looks healty. ✍️ 1 EC ♒ 5,8 pH 🌊 9,5 L 📏 15 cm

Ich nahm ein paar Stecklinge von dieser vitalen Pflanze und trainierte sie etwas,um die Fläche besser aus zu füllen.Bis jetzt bin ich von dieser Genetik wirklich überzeugt und kann kaum abwarten wie sie in der Blüte wird.

The seed popped after ~48h and was planted directly into her forever home. A 20 litre airpot filled with new 6:1 compost:perlite mix.

She is reaching the end. Leaves browning off and going well. Trichomes milky but will wait for 30% amber.

Well I thought for sure I was going to harvest a few days ago. Looks like it’s going to be one more week. Only getting pH water at this point and no nutrients. Starting to get a little color shift in the leaves but nothing crazy. Bud is dense and smells absolutely amazing. Slight bit of a Fox trail going on but not bad at all. Turns out I was very lazy and never raised my light up for 3 weeks and they were getting 1,000+ PAR at the tops for 18hrs a day. A few more days till she gets cut.
