She is falling over because the weight,and density of the buds, tips of single bud leaves turning purple,. What would have normally been popcorn buds, are super dense. I love LED Lights. This will be my last week of feeding , next two weeks water only. Any one have thoughts about dark period before harvest? Or maybe only blue spectrum for final two weeks?, ( to bring out more resin glands ).?

Oct 12: super warm still so the season is still going. In previous years we’ve had a -10 C sort of hard frost by now. Anyway, Bruce here is taking advantage of the warm weather. Sunlight is weak so not producing as many trichomes as she could under stronger light, but she is still putting on weight and the buds are decently firm. Most fan leaves turned purple at which point they’re no good for photosynthesis so I figured it’s better to remove them here in the home stretch. Might harvest in a few days, or might not… Oct 13: first round of 940 g wet buds, mostly as fresh frozen, with 80 g of that hanging. Buds are less dense than the Gorilla Cookies so despite Bruce being the bigger plant, it looks like the final yields will be similar. Left biggest cola on plant to see how much further it can ripen. Oct 14: watered with 26 C water with some potassium sulphate. My TDS meter has been broken all season so was estimating. Oct 15: nice weather continues. Oct 16: +4.2 C temperature anomaly over last 30 days, and this is “extremely hot”. Yay. Oct 18: sun is so low now that I lose direct sun by late afternoon. Weather turns soon and there are just four more days to go. Bruce will be harvested this weekend.

Plants seemed to recover well from the cold weather. My hoop house is doing a fantastic job. Waiting for out first big storm of the year to see if she holds up to the wind and rain

What’s up Growmie’s!? New grow, new genetics Truffle Treats by BeLeaf. It’s been busy, I’ve had a few grows going at the same time, and it’s getting hard to keep up, but this Grow deserves to be documented, if the pheno is there, they should be FROSTY ☃️ Started by soaking 4 beans in a glass of distillled water with a shot of hydrogen peroxide for about 6 hours. Once soaked, I planted directly into starter pots and placed humidity domes to increase the RH. Temps were set to about 78 degrees and RH was hovering near 75% or more. It took 36 hours after planting for me to see the first sprouts, and throughout the day they all popped up.

D42 F6 One week of 12/12 and she's stretching out real nice. I'll start to feed them from week 7. I've defoliated the central cola to allow the sides to catch up.

No feeds this week and I will not feed again. I will only water her. I will most likely be harvesting Pheno 3 next weekend. Pheno 2 I will give her 2 weeks. I have clones that are flowering already outside. The short days outdoors have switched the ladies into flower about a week ago or more. They will go in the tent for another run of Gorilla Gas. I have also started 5 regular seeds of NO TRAINING WHEELS by TERP FI3ND. THE COUGH BX X LUCKY CHARMS. These plants have no fruit, candy, or citrus terps. Straight gas and spicy skunk terps. Pheno 1 got locked out so I have harvested early. I cut and trimmed all the non-sugar leaf off and cut the buds out manually. I placed all of this flower in freezer bags and will be saving Pheno 3 as well for a bubble hash run. All the flower is in the freezer now. I think the cold outside will help a lot with the frozen hash process.

Wow, wow, wow; the Cronk nutrients have worked wonders on my girl. She is bigger and better than ever. I am now using the Cronk recommended Intermediate 5 Part Nutrient System. I can't wait to use their Bud Booster!

Reduced Bloom A & B by 1ml per Litre due to rising EC levels at start of the week. She is filling out more and developing a very fruity aroma.

So my 5 plants have been split up. My first two chopped are now curing up. Preparing to chop the rest. Smells like nothing or gassy. Don’t overshock your plants people! 7 days of drying and stems were snapping. 3 in the pink isn’t quite ready yet.

Not so much to say this week : everything looks OK. OAH #7 is still struggling to live and will be replaced by feminized Runtz from Pevgrow soon (mother plant for a futur run). I put back the FC-E3000 driver in tent in order to warm up inside day air to 28-30°C range and let plants manage high RH and CO2 (still between 700-900 ppm, so no CO2 supplement for now) : no problem for Amnesia as it enjoy this kind of temp. 2023/06/13 : another (and last) round of Boom Boom Spray, 5 days after first one, during vegetation grow. 2023/06/16 : as planed, I removed dying plants (#1 and #7) and added one Runtz feminized from PEVseeds for next run with clones. From 10 seeds, 1 never popped and 3 died as root could'nt get out of the Jiffy, so it will be a poor 60% rate!😪 And I almost forgot, pistils are out!

The second week of vegetation is going well! This time, I’ve decided to try the Green House Feeding BioEnhancer instead of BioBizz Root-Juice. I’ve had issues with the shelf life of Root-Juice in the past, so I’m curious to see how BioEnhancer performs. The plant is looking healthy now, but it had a bit of a rough start. I initially planted it in soil that was too heavily pre-fertilized, which caused the first leaves to turn yellow.😔 Thankfully, it recovered quickly and seems to be thriving now. 💪 To keep the plant as stress-free as possible during vegetation, I’ve decided not to train it for now. I want it to focus on strong, natural growth without any added strain. I’m excited to see how it progresses over the next few weeks—things are looking promising!🌱😊

Mid week is day 21 of flower. I'll do one more leaf strip in the next few days and then I should be done screwing around in the tent with these ladies. I'm extremely happy with how the canopy filled out. Just a couple of weeks ago I had to cull 3 of my 8 and that left a void. The last leaf strip is done. I also removed the trellis netting. I am unsure if this was a good idea or not. As far as I figure, My canopy did fill the 5'x5' but it doesn't any more. Now that the scrog net is down everything "stood tall". The reason I removed it is so I could make sure that 1. I could strip everything that I wanted/needed to before everything turns woody and fragile. 2. get to my plants to make sure that no Male flowers surfaced. I did consider putting it back in but then I though of harvest time, what if one in the back is ready before the one in the front, that is gonna suck to pull out. So I left the net out. My hypothesis is that as the buds start to gain weight, the weight will get the branches to come down and spread out again. If the weight seems like it may break limbs, at that point I will apply the scrog net as more of a trellis net that will be easily removed. It's weird, two nights ago I was dreaming that I was in a panic looking for plant yoyo's. I was dreaming that my kolas were so huge that they were snapping. LOL Hopefully it wasn't a dream and it was more of a vision. I have still been feeding by my pH range. I still haven't had to use any pH up or down in the last 18 days. I have noticed that flower isn't as forgiving as veg cycle. I do have one strain that is showing leaf tip burn so I have decided drop my EC enough to let my pH rise a bit more quickly. In the flower cycle the plants seem to be more finicky with their uptake. If It's too strong they leaf tip burn within a couple of days so if you need to make changes you can't tip toe like in veg. You need to aggressively get back into range because the plant isn't going to wait for you. It's clock is ticking and it's going with or without you. After my recent leaf strip, my humidity has been lower than ideal so I will probably be putting a humidifier in shortly. I have been using the dimmer to dim my lights to 75% but I would rather have them at 100. I am looking forward to what the next 5 weeks bring so I hope you all stay with to see how this turns out. Grower's Love To You All!

Hello everyone! I promised to track this grow very closely this time and ufortunately life got in the way. Here is a quick sumup of the grow. First of all- One of the sour stomper plants unfortunately didn't make it. It died at about week 4. The main stem somehow had rubbed/broken down. That's why it was falling down. It was almost like a mini beaver had chewed it off at the point where the stem touches the riot rooter. At first I thought nothing much of it, maybe it hasn't been rooted in quite well yet or something. And I was constantly touiching it when watering, that made it worse. Soo the leaves were dropping and the plant looked very weak. Then I decided cut thr rapid rooters top layer and found out the severity of the problem. Tried to tape it up and other things, but it was too late. At the end it appeared all good as the remaing plants got so big the I had some space issue so I wouldn't have been able to fit another plant in anyway. At that time I finally made my self-draining saucers. I took me a while and a lot of effort, but finally they were ready and working well. I also installed the self watering system and flowering was starting. Pretty soon I started noticing weird leaf symtoms. Brown spots, different kind. Some plants had it more, some less. Sour Stomper looked pretty good throughout the grow. Mango smiles seemed sensitive and Strawberry Nuggs were pretty strong until the end. The grow was basically me experimenting with the setup- changing watering schedules , changing ppm, ph and all that stuff to keep the leaves looking healthy and it was very hard I have to admit. Probably my hardest grow in that regard. But somehow, the bud leaves remained healthy and the buds really fattened up good. I got away with an amzing 700G dry bud harvest which was def a new record from one grow. And the bud quality is very good too! Next time definetly no more than 4 plants as they got pretty big and I thought it was a little overcrowded. I was doing some good defoliation too. I should have defolited strawberry nugs more tho. Sour Stomper got some amazing bud development from top to bottom because it was was growing next to strawberry nuggets which were really small most of the grow. They actually took the most time to harvest even longer than Mango smile. Mango smiles were ready quite early. Sour Stomper was just in time! I topped sour stomper and both Mangoi smiles, left SNs both normal. Looking back at it, the way I grow them, Should have topped SNs too. Would probably have more space in the middle and longer side branches. Probably wouldn't have been as bushy! I followed the full Terra aquatica feed chart until the end. I was supplementing with CalMag a lot as I thought the symptoms could have been from a CalMag deficiency as this was my first grow with RO water. Overall a very challenging but good grow at the end. First time no mold problems. A record breaking yield for me. Basically surpassed the upper limit for all plant probable harvest sizes. Got good smelling quality bud. Very happy overall and will continue experimenting with Mephisto beans in the future for sure! I guess what I like the most about Mephisto is how close to description the plant is, very stable genes in that regard. Next time I will also have to start feeding plants higher PPM feed faster at the very start. and during flowering. But still not 100% sure what caused the leaf symptoms.
