I believe there might be a problem with the plant. Leaves are turning yellow way too early. The pistils are oxidizing very early too. Maybe she got stressed for some reason and decided to accelerate the whole process.

I now see the issue of doing multiple strains under one diary. FB Cherry Cola and SS Bruce Banner have shot hairs everywhere while the RQS Weddding Cake is still verging. Top dressed everything with half a cup of worm castings and an eight cup of BAS Craft blend

I have tried to do this grow as natural as possible. Only rain water, once a week, I use Ionic PK booster, only sun light. I had to move her inside due to autumn/winter the last 4wks. I hope to harvest in 1-2wks time. Will be smoking the top heads, and Rso with the rest.

UPDATES: - Pushed them a little too hard as you can tell by the pics, pushed temps up to 31/32'C. Pulled temps back down to 29'C, seems to be the sweet spot. -Just waiting to harvest GENETICS: -MSNL - Gorilla Glue Auto ~ my favorite strain, as you can tell by my username! WATER: -Condensed (Starting at 40ppm) -Disinfected prior to adding nutrients etc. (Using COOSPIDER UVC - 253nm & 187nm bulb) CLIMATE: - Ambient Air Temp = 29'C ~ 28'C LST ~ Leaf to air temp variance of between 1'C - Night Temp = 22/23'C ~ Day/Night temp differential 6-7'C - Under Canopy Temp: 26'C (Day) ~ 21'C (Night) - Relative Humidity = 50-60%RH (Avg. 55%RH) - VPD = 1.45kPa (Avg.) - Co2 ranges from 900ppm to 1500ppm (Avg. 1200ppm) AIR PRESSURE: - Ambient Air Pressure (outside tent) = Mean Avg. 1010 mbars (101 Kilopascals) - Actual Air Pressure (inside tent) = Mean Avg. 1005 mbars (100.5 Kilopascals) - Air Pressure Differential = up to 0.5 kPa range between inside & outside LIGHT: - UVB ~ 2 hours daily mid light cycle. - Warm White 3000K/White 5000k/Far Red (660nm) - At plant canopy = PPFD 900-1000umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 45,000-55,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 55-65 - Under canopy lighting ~ Blue (460nm)/ Red (630nm) NUTRIENTS: - Mostly Advanced Nutrients (For base nutrients and most additives, as only company I could find scientific data on) - Canna (For Calmag Agent and Cannazym) - Plant Success (Great White Mycorrhizae) ADDITIONAL GROW TECHNIQUES: - Mostly getting out of the plants way and letting nature take its course. - Some LST. (i.e. tying down branches and tucking large leaves away) - No HST or Defoliation. INFECTION PREVENTION & CONTROL: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb - Also using an additional higher powered COOSPIDER (UVC) 253nm & 187nm bulb, to disinfect the gray room outside of the tent once a week for 30 mins. - Ozone (o3) gas that is produced using the COOSPIDER, is then directed into the tent to further control any unwanted pathogens. - Ed Rosenthal (Zero Tolerance organic pesticide), sprayed once a week as preventative measure. On hand for heavier use (Once every 3 days before lights out for 15 days) in the case of an outbreak (No outbreaks yet, due to aforementioned preventative measures)

This lady is one hardy girl! Bud sites are already getting super dense and frosty. Bud sites sway from the shear weight like morning star maces. From the gentle breeze of my oscillating fans. This lady is gunna treat me good!. The feed I've had her on is still complimenting her greatly. So no need for a change there yet. But I did add 1.5 ml of atomic bloom to her usual fresh water feedings. Give her that little bit extra pk kicking. Just a fucking sexy plant and a dream to grow! I'm happy as shit with her. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Getting so close to harvest!! She's just stacking the bud and trichromes daily! I'm watching the colors, waiting for ~60% amber. Smells amazing, like a funky orange cheese, some lite notes of vanilla/cream. Hopefully she's ready to dry this week Update Day 65: part of my original 600w light died, only 2/4 panels are working full power. I borrowed a "1000w" Amazon light from a buddy and set the 2 up for 900-1000ppfd in the cola/upper area, and 600-750 in all the lower areas. Going to run it like this for a few days and if she doesn't respond well I'll have to pull her a little early Day 67: dual lights seem to be really helping to bulk up the buds! Hopefully only a couple days left. Trichromes are ~75% CLOUDY, still very little amber yet (less than 5%). Terps are crazy, very OG/funk smell, once you touch the plant though it's like orange pixie sticks!!

Estos últimos riegos seran solo con agua ya que la.planta muestra sintomas de que le queda poco para que acabe su periodo de floracion. Realizaremos limpieza de sustrato solo con agua para poder conseguir una mejor sabor y la fumada sea mas suave.

Sorry for the delay, but I had to deal with several unexpected issues. The main one was realizing that most of the trichomes on these plants had already turned amber.I was convinced they were still at an earlier stage because, in my previous run with the same Critical Orange Punch from the same seed batch, they matured later. This time, however, they seemed to finish much faster, and in my opinion the stress they experienced may have played a role.Because of that, I had to act quickly and harvest the plants without carrying out the usual flush. After looking into it more carefully, I found that flushing in this case does not seem to offer any real benefit, at least according to the scientific information I came across. From what I found, flushing does not seem to make a significant difference in the final outcome in terms of taste, smoothness, or overall quality. Drying and curing probably play a much bigger role, but I would really like to hear your opinion and experience on this as well.Another thing I noticed during the last week was a clear change in the aroma inside the tent. The smell became sweeter, deeper, and far more intense.I cannot say for sure whether that was directly linked to trichome maturity, but overall I am satisfied with the result so far, especially considering the setbacks along the way. As you can see from the photos, it was a very demanding week, and trimming all the plants in just a couple of days was a real challenge.That said, the buds look absolutely beautiful and very promising. Now it is just a matter of waiting another week or two before I can give you a proper update on the smoke quality.Happy growing, everyone.

Currently checking daily and tying away branches/leaves to give the buds more light and watering when the soil is dry. Currently my plants drink exactly 1,5L a day. I have the feeling that the right plant is lacking a bit of potassium. I'll leave everything as it is for now because the left plant (fresh new soil) is growing well. Since the right plant is quite bushy anyway, I'll defoliate it again later and remove any lower shoots. I started adding the Bio PK booster towards the middle of the first week of flowering, 2ml per liter of water; as the pH value drops too much, I correct it upwards with Biobizz pH up - from pH 5.5 to 6.5 for 3L, I add a total of 39 drops. My water is mixed as follows: 3L osmosis water, plus 6ml CalMag, 6ml BioPK 5-8 and 39 drops of pH + BioBizz.

Well it's official the first week of flower is in the bag! All in all not an eventful week but it's always exciting to see the girls start their transformation to flower and seeing the stretch kick in! Netting is really filling in nicely, will be a good clean up job on fan leaves in a week or so. Did a diatomaceous earth treatment because I was noticing some fungus gnats still, had it on for 48 hours and since have not seen any new ones in the traps so 🤞. Added a 6" oscillating fan below canopy, should help keep temps even and keep bugs away. With all the trimming down there the fan doesn't even effect the leaves hahaha. Flower week 2 here we come!

Beginning of week... This week I'm dropping the Armor Si (Silica) and adding Advanced Nutrients' Kushie Kush (bloom booster).. Only at half strength for this week.. She is happy and healthy.. Trichomes are busting out everywhere. Smells delicious.. Cant wait to see how she turns out in the end!!! Almost mid week.. She is not much of a stretcher.. Unless something stressed her.. She is stretching, just.. Sloooowly lol.. And not very much.. But looking at the last couple weeks she is stretching noticeably.. Should still yield a decent amount. Smells fucking delicious! Mid week.. Yeah, I'm assuming she isn't going to stretch much more than she has.. Unless some sort of odd, late flower stetch decides to pop up.. But I doubt it.. Still not a bad thing.. She still has more than enough time and room to keep stackin and fattening up! But she seems happy asf to me.. One of the tops (pic) has some clawing goin on.. Like my Purple Lemonade did.. From nitrogen toxicity... But it's just one top.. None of the othet tops have this going on.. And it's literally just 2 or 3 leaves at tge very very top.. As long as I don't see it pop up anymore, I'm just going to keep feeding her like I've been.. If it does get worse or spreads anywhere else, I'm going to go down on the FloraMicro since it has the most nitrogen.. But at least my last grow (Purple Lemonade Autoflower which was VERY nitrogen sensitive) taught me how to spot and quickly correct the issue! No time for failure! Lol... Next day.. She is gonna yield a bit more than the white widow for sure. She is getting chunky fast! Trichomes everywhere.. So glorious lol End of week.. Pretty happy with this week. Her slow veg growth didn't seem to affect her flower development.. She does have some weird flower structure.. And some pretty big new single fingered fan leaves.. As if she was "revegged" or something.. Very much covered in trichomes.. And I think I should cut down on the FloraMicro next week.. She has a COUPLE tops with clawed leaves.. See if that keeps it from spreading.. Guess she may be a little nitrogen sensitive.. Or I should have just cut down the FloraGro sooner but I'm going to go up on the Kushie Kush (bloome booster) and cut out all FloraGro and just give the FloraBloom.. Along with doubling up on the FloraNectar and just still just the recommended amount of Floralicious Plus.. And that's a wrap.. On to the next week!...

I'm really glad the second girl finally pulled through whatever was causing her to struggle to grow. Her leaves are coming in strong now. I've been letting the soil dry back a bit more in between watering. I just spray the bottle a total of 30 times now. 10 at a time to let the water soak instead of pooling and flowing away. No nutrients yet, her roots are probably still just in the Light Warrior soil. I do still put water in the self watering pots to add humidity to the tent and to "cook" the soil nutrients .
