🌱 Week 3 – End of Vegetative Stage 10/04 (Day 22): Watered with 500 ml at pH 5.7, EC 1300. Solution included 2.5 ml/L CalMag + 1.4 ml/L Coco A + 1.4 ml/L Coco B — Deeper Underground removed from the mix starting today. Runoff measured EC 700, pH 7.0. Considering removing a few fan leaves to allow more light penetration to the lower branches. 10/05 (Day 23): No watering today — pots still heavy and moist. The tips of new leaves are showing a very light green to yellowish color. Planning to start micronutrient supplementation directly in the nutrient solution in two days. Plants continue stretching rapidly; one grew 4 cm in the last 24 hours. Roots are now protruding through the fabric pots, indicating full root colonization. 10/06 (Day 24): Pistils visible on all plants — flowering will begin next week 🌸. Tried increasing light intensity to 20k lux, but plants showed stress, so it was reduced again. Still not obtaining reliable results with the lux meter, so I’ve ordered a PAR meter to better control light levels. Watered with 1 L of the same solution as Day 22. Runoff EC rising slightly to 750, pH stable at 7.0. Week 3 Summary — End of Vegetative Stage Strong vegetative finish: vertical growth continued steadily, some plants growing 4 cm in 24 h. Root zone fully colonized — roots visible through the fabric pots. All plants showing pistils → clear sign of transition to flowering. Light management tricky this week; stress appeared above 20k lux. PAR meter ordered for better control. Nutrient mix stable at EC 1300 (2.5 CalMag + 1.4 A/B). Deeper Underground discontinued. Runoff EC ~ 700–750, pH ~ 7.0 → substrate still buffered high, but plants adapting well. 🌼 ➡️ Plan for Week 4 – Flowering Week 1 Nutrients: Transition feed: keep CalMag at 2.0–2.5 ml/L, A/B around 1.4–1.6 ml/L. Introduce bloom additives gradually (PK boosters or bloom A/B if applicable). pH: Keep irrigation at 5.6–5.7 to slowly bring substrate down from 7.0. EC: Increase gradually toward 1400–1500 µS/cm as flowers initiate. Lighting: Use PAR meter to maintain 300–400 µmol/m²/s (~15–18k lux) during transition. VPD: Raise to 1.0–1.2 kPa for better transpiration and nutrient flow. Defoliation: Light removal of large fan leaves if necessary to expose lower sites. Observation: Watch for stabilization of new growth color and confirm consistent pre-flowering on all plants.

Still trucking along. I had my lights turned up a bit high, I've turned them down a few days ago and all the plants seemed to enjoy it.

Day 78 - Starting week 12 and her final week and man o man she’s gonna be amazing. She’s almost to the percentage of amber trichs that I’m looking for so she’ll be getting the chop this weekend and planning on doing it Sunday, just waiting for her to dry out. Day 79 - She ambered up quite a bit the last 24 hours and she’s almost dried up so will most likely do the chop on Friday. Nice, fat and dense buds and can wait to give this girl a try. What an easy grow this has been. Day 80 - Decided I’m going to give her until Sunday now for the chop. Going out of town for two days and don’t want to rush chopping her tomorrow night. So ended up giving her 2 more gallons of cold plain water and the way she was drinking, she should be ready Sunday evening. Day 82 - She’s actually fattened up quite a bit more the past couple days and on track to chop tomorrow. Heading out of town for the night and she’s pretty much dried up and should be good for an evening chop.

Comienza la floración ya podemos ver algunos brotes

6cm decstetch mais là fini je pense! Température 14-28 degrés plante fine et élancé

My favorite strain during this run 😀👍 A top genetic from sweet Seeds ! The two ladies were beautiful with top buds covered of sticky and stinky resin. The smell, delicious, is very strong ! Love it !

Good news everyone, we reached week 6 and everything is going smoothly. I did add some trellis rings to keep her spread out and the automated will probably be set up tomorrow. 11.07. My pump is weak, but water is flowing. Did add some shelving to make sure the hydro halo is not siphoning the reservoir. At the moment I am watering for two minutes every 12 hours, will tune the interval over the next few days. I did stop the foliar feeding for now. 14.07. The watering interval is down to 90 seconds every 12 hours, I still need a stronger pump, it is working but the halo should splash out way more water and all the substrate should be rinsed, room for improvement. 15.07. not a lot happened today, the watering interval seems to be okay, will probably add some more support braces, just to have done something. 16.07. Did nothing, I am occupied with renovating our house.

11/3/21 - Looking really good today! All plants are crazy perky with big flowers that are begging for 12/12. We will flip after the aphids are gone. We will be repeating week 3 of nutrients this week. 11/4/21 - They look amazing. We got Fox Farm Force Of Nature because we have aphids :/ We will spray this evening and look each day and spray as needed. Major defoliation is going to be done throughout the week as well. We got 2 more scrog nets going in. The plants need them pretty bad. We will put one more up, mash the tops down, defoliate and add the second scrog in early flower. 11/5/21 - We didn’t have time to put the scrog up or defoliate. Also, the spray for the aphids never showed up 😡. But on the plus side, the plants looks amazing! 11/6/21 - We did some major defoliation and sprayed the aphids with an organic pesticide soap. We also added the second scrog net. 11/7/21 - We only found a couple live aphids so sprayed again. They should all be gone by now. Light needs to be bumped to 60% and also raise it a bit. They look so much smaller after some defoliation. 11/8/21 - Aphids are gone :) We will do one more week of veg then add a 3rd scrog mid flower to support the buds when they start to form. 11/9/21 - First day of flower will be 11/17. Pretty excited for them to flower up. This veg has been frustrating and challenging with 6 plants. Overwhelming at times. Next one is going to be 4 plants MAX. They look great today!

I'm working on a Planet of the Grapes grow in smaller tent- they're about a month behind but even there- everything's truly dialed in and holy hell is that a good feeling. Now I'm just wasting time on Youtube shopping for genetics and refreshing my growing memory. EDIT: Shared a video. Feels like the shed is in it's "final form" but prob not - at least I'll have this to look back on but regardless, "Skylab" has come a long way in 18 months. Good luck out there! 😤👊🙏

Wedding glue is on the full wind down now fading beautifully and sticky as she’s a stunner . Dried and smoked a bud this week and it was so tasty absolutely incredible plant !! She will come out in three or four days after a flush ( yerr yerr I know bro science flush etc etc , I’m convinced it tastes better flushed 💨😍. ) Looks to be a 10 oz plant or close to it fastbuds producing the goods time after time

This girl almost died. The tape and tying wire worked as she continues to put on weight….I have to watch out for the full moon rains coming in March…some lite showers I hope.

buds are starting to get heavy I had to put a few on steaks

Week 18: 😅 I hope the work we put in this week, sets us up for a successful next couple weeks. We really pushed through the rest of our flower defoliation. I think we learned alot through this process. Every branch can not live on. Branches and primary growth points are two very different things. We also learned that flower and veg have different needs. I am now noticing the soil is almost bone dry in about 4/5 days, so by the 3rd day the plants need more water... This is important to note.. as we will be traveling for the holidays for the next two weeks (NOLA, HOU, RIO). May God be with us over these next few weeks. I'm glad I have a ring camera installed in the tent for times like these... but I would not recommend purchasing this camera for the purpose of a grow tent cam. Will be trying the Wyze or another type of camera for more timelapse content in the future. Will check back in later this week with pictures from my friend that will be watering for us.

Aquí tenemos otra de las maravillas de Sweed Seeds, uno de mis bancos favoritos, son capaces de crear autenticas maravillas de la naturaleza y tuve la gran suerte de que su equipo me regalara unas variedades unicas para poder analizar su comportamiento y crecimiento. En este caso tenemos una CRYSTAL CANDY XL AUTOMATICA de una talla alta de 4° generación. Esta genética ha sido desarrollada dentro de un programa del Departamento I+D+i de Sweet Seeds®️ enfocado en la búsqueda de curiosos, exquisitos y sutiles aromas dulces que evocan sensaciones aromáticas de tienda de caramelos. El aroma es muy dulce y afrutado con tonos aromáticos de chicle y gominolas de frutas, con pinceladas de fresa ácida y melón maduro. Gran productora de cristales de aromática resina y hermosos cogollos. Produce plantas que fácilmente superan el metro de altura. Por todo ello y mucho mas iremos viendo su crecimiento y desarrollo 😊 veremos todo lo que esta preciosidad es capaz de darnos MUCHO HUMO 🚬 😃 Día 1: Hemos germinando la planta en un mini-invernadero con una luz LED de 20W y una temperatura de 28°C con HR de 70% Día 2: La plantalula va a un ritmo bastante rápido. Ha cogido 3cm de altura sin problemas 💪 Aun tiene el cascarón que tiene que soltarlo, aunque si no es así se lo quitaré con mucho cuidado 🤭 Día 3: He transplantado a la pequeña a su maceta final dentro del armario de cultivo con un sustrato de Top Crop y Biobizz en una mezcla de 70/30. Todas las macetas cuentan con 3g de Micro Vita para protegerlas de plagas. Hoy tocó riego de 1L de agua con 1ml de Deeper Underground (enrraizador) para que su sistema radicular crezca fuerte y sano. La temperatura del armario es de 30°C con una HR de 60%. He tapado con tierra 2cm el tallo para que crezca con fuerza y no demasiado espigada dejando únicamente 1cm en la superficie. Día 4: Hoy hemos vuelto a regar ya que estoy trabajando con un foco HID de 400W que emite bastante calor y el sustrato absorbe demasiado rapido el agua. Estoy teniendo algun problema en cuanto al control de la HR ya que baja bastante por el calor que hace. Este problema le estoy resolviendo con el humidificador y con un pulverizador para mantener la humedad correcta. Día 5: Sin novedades

Feb 8 Today marks the 13th week of these girls, it’s been an amazing 1st grow, would highly recommend this strain for first time growers, even the one that had some issues ended up surprising me late flower with new growth, and somehow basically caught up with the strong girl in size, but not density. I learned a lot about how these plants like to be treated, and I will definitely implement new methods to improve my cultivation! See you on harvest day!

Flowering slowly, likely due to the roots having low PH(4-5).. I flushed her a few weeks back.. I'm done experimenting with nutrients for now; I had better results, with less issues with just using the basics. *Special Nug picture - This Bud-site has a different shape/structure compared to every other nug on this plant.. Never seen this before, on any other strain.

Defoliated to improve airflow and re tied branches down to create a more even canopy. Will re ammend the medium with 2 cups of worm casting, 1.5 tbps azomite and Gaia Green 4 4 4 on the last day of week 4. Recharge in every watering during veg.
