Yall see the yellowing of the leaves closest to the top? I've since switched my nutes over to Tiger Bloom and I've thrown in some Cal-mag into the mix. They'd gotten kinda droopy but since I changed their nutes up a bit, they've been perky af even tonight as it's getting close to lights out. I switched them over to flower on Sunday. They're already starting to stretch in just a few days which tells me that they're feeling much better. My last video... even though it's not loaded correctly is from tonight. It's 11pm, lights are out in an hour and they're still perky. Love it!! 😍😍😍 4/6/23: Yall.... the plant in the back right hermied!!! OMFG. The 2 tallest branches had seeds on them... just popped up because they weren't there yesterday or at least I didn't notice. The seeds were concentrated at the top, I didn't find any on the rest of the plant but with as bushy as they are, there may be more. I cut those 2 tallest branches down to below where the seeds were but I will be watching that plant and the rest like a hawk for more seeds. I didn't find any on the other 3 plants but still I'm saddened. Unsure of why this one plant is hermie'ing. Smh

Caught up... things are going well, Bruce stretched like crazy and has evened up its canopy to the others idk if it's that big bud in it or what. Lilac has looked a solid week and half ahead of the others since flower, she looks wicked though, trichromes are starting to build. I've done my last training, I usually go hard on thinning but I'm trying to be conservative and only uncover buds under leaves. Still same feeding routine.. looking forward to the finish line but know this is an important time with terms and trichromes beginning to resonate... I sick at this guy's but I want to get better at chronicling my grows.. so hourly I will improve in the process of Journaling.

Average yield and high quality bud. Fingers are full of hash and she’s a stinky dense plant!

Ah, welcome to Week 6 in the comedic garden odyssey of my green darlings! This week, I embarked on a sequel to the botanical blockbuster – "Defoliation: The Reckoning." It's like my plants are starring in their own leafy action movie, and I'm the director, yelling, "Cut those leaves, my green warriors! We need more drama and less foliage!" So, there I was, with pruning shears in hand, orchestrating the defoliation dance. It's become a routine, like a bi-weekly leafy spa day. The ladies might be secretly plotting to stage a plant intervention, but hey, I'm just trying to keep them on the path to becoming the Gisele Bündchen of the plant world – tall, fabulous, and with the perfect amount of greenery. And oh, the growth – it's like my plants are on a horticultural steroids regimen. They've been pushing out new leaves faster than a high-speed printing press cranks out newspapers. I can almost hear the plants chanting, "Photosynthesis for the win!" Now, let's talk about the elephant in the garden – or should I say, the scent in the tent? There's a hint of something in the air, a fragrance that can only be described as "Eau de Cannabis." Yes, my friends, the green aroma of progress is wafting through the tent. It's like my plants are getting ready for a botanical perfume launch, and I'm their unwitting fragrance tester. As I stand there, surrounded by my leafy divas, I can't help but chuckle at the thought of my garden becoming the talk of the plant town. "Have you heard about THCpapaTHCPAPA's garden? It's the chicest spot in the plant world, darling. You can practically smell the success!" Week 6 has been a horticultural sitcom filled with defoliation dramas, growth spurts, and the subtle scent of success. Stay tuned for the next episode of "The Green and the Glorious," because in the world of plants, every leaf has its own story to tell. 🌿🍃🎬

Day 21: I still have my garden on a 6-2 light schedule and my two plants that i stunted do to overwatering are slowly making a come back. I am going to keep them as i am a optimistic person so im hoping for the best but to say the least it will help me learn how to deal with different problems as they arise and teach me how to manage a garden this size. I only low stress trained for 1 day which was the day that i took the pictures a few days ago. I didnt feel confident when i started it mostly because of the size and felt like i was starting the process to late. If its not to late feel free to let me know and ill try to start it again, other than that as always feel free to drop some tips and happy growing. I also added a video at the top for quick viewing. 😀

I had a horrible germination rate then the seedling I finally got was very weak. So I made the best of it, and finished the grow. Frosty buds nice color. Great smell. The Gen 1:11 nutrition works good. Was just the first time using it in DWC. Good looking nugs. Just not one of my best grows. Thank you Mars Hydro, Gen1:11, and Humboldt seed company. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

The tiny potter grow for the contest is looking good. Nice big plant for such a small potter. At this rate it will be a great entry. I am having to feed her about 2 to 3 times a day. Her ph was starting to drop with the heavy nutrition. I been trying to get the most out of her. She has a few mutations. Those were early on in grow. She is stacking, and flowering great for a micro grow. Leaves are a little damaged, but this is a complicated grow with plant size vs potter. I have done minimum training, and a little selective defoliation. She has been growing very ideally. She is doing great under the Mars Hydro FC4800 light.

Es ist offiziell, die Ladys werden mein Zelt sprengen 😂💀 Hätte nicht mit so einem explosiven Sprung schon in der ersten Woche gerechnet 😭 Hab ein zweites Netz eingesetzt um die Stämme später in der Blüte stabilisieren zu können, vor zwei Tagen 😳 werde mir ein drittes besorgen und wenn die zu weit oben sind muss ich die wohl einfädeln ins Netz. Hab mir ansonsten noch eine Migro Aray Intra 160W für das under Cannopy besorgt, bin gespannt was draus wird 🤩 Die trinken aber auch wie verrückt, habe vor zwei Tagen den 47 L Tank voll gemacht & jetzt seieht der Tank so aus😭 [ Bild ] Es ist einfach nur verrückt

Gp x shb is starting to come back finally and is about to start flowering smells like straight up sour d already!!

Super lucky with the weather, still a few older leaves yellowing but nothing concerning for now. The buds are quite leafy but I don’t really mind, also very frosty

Had a tough time mitigating heat in the summer when this grow took place. Was also not able to care for the two plants I had as best i could due to a lack of time. Harvest really suffered because of it but still got some great results. Didn't weigh it but i filled 12 32 oz mason jars. 6 Of which were from my cloned plant. 4 were God's Vagina and 2 were a mix of both buds.

Day 85 - first day of Week 13 and she is going into darkness for 48 hours. Hasn't been watered since 2 days. Even though she looks the least done of all three, her trichomes are now a good 20-30% amber with the rest milky and some tiny bits of clear. I checked her buds on the calyx all around, from top buds to middle to bottom. She really shows a lot of heavily swolen calyxes, which I have never seen like that. I can now add that to the things I learned/experienced: calyxes swell a lot before the plant is finished. Let's see. My Girl Scout Cookies does not look like she even has calyxes. Funny individuals. Happy wedding cake day, almost 😍 Day 88 - out of darkness. She was in there for 2,5 days. Opening the drying tent she gave off a really strong smell of hash 😍wow. She has some nice looking buds and looks def. more done, but below her dress, she has some light fluffy buds. I have hung all of them now in the dry tent, after I removed some of the bigger fan leaves. One part of it, I think I want to low and slow dry in the fridge. I am interested in finding out about the difference in taste, when a more wholesome profile is retained. For anyone interested, I can highly recommend this forum and this article: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/drziggys-low-and-slow-drying-maximizing-your-harvest.366783 Another part I would like to use for fresh cut oil, also from here: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ As with everything else, I was obsessing about the perfect dry room & conditions. I bought a small tent (40x40cm), a small oszillating fan hung over the buds/on top of the tent. Due to size limitations, I have the filter on the bottom with the duct leaving the tent at the bottom connecting to an exhaust fan. Inside the tent I have a humidity sensor from an Inkbird Humidity regulator. Connected to that is a mini-dehumidifer and a humidifier. I have set it to 20°C (68F) and 50-55% humidity. I'm excited to see how long my dry will last this time. My first grow was drying way too fast in the middle of the heat wave last year with 30% humidity. The overview added to the pictures, I started making over Christmas. It was when I noticed, that I'm a so impatient, and that something must be wrong, especially in the first weeks. I get so obsessive, that I tend to overcare. Which she showcases beautifully in this overview. I hope this will calm me down the next time. Oh my haha Let's see what the final dry weight is. My guess is about 25-35g. Any other guesses? Happy Wedding Cake day 😇
