At the end of last week, finally flower indicators started to show and these week it went more. Day 32: I sprayed them with Rhizotonic this week. This will be the last week for sprays. I don't like to spray my plants while having buds on it even thought it is organic. Always make sure you spray from below the leafs. They will uptake it better and also spray some above. With the lights off. Did some defoliation again and removed some lower internodes which will be crappy buds anyways. Made a video of my feeding bucket as well, in case some of you wonder how I feed all those plants manually. It is a pump with an gardenhose attached. Thats it for this week, Until next week!

8/23 Fed 2 gallons of nutes to the garden. I'm planning to increase feeding to three gallons as plants look hungry. Ice cream cake isn't as vibrant as it once was. Still losing leaves but I find that is consistent with others in my area according to the local growers page. The hurricane missed us but the rain and humidity are still a problem. It's not raining (plants were soaked so it rained last night) and rh is still 100%. It's outdoor so what can I do? What I NEED to do is spray BT and something to combat PM. Plants are flowering nicely. It's good to actually have some flowers to look at. The smell is great too. 8/24 Didn't water as it rained last night. Defoliated what was dead. Fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Everything is in flower. The little ice cream cake flowers don't look like they like this rain. I don't blame them. I don't remember the last time it didn't rain at night. I noticed more damage on plants or maybe old damage. Either way bud shoots are gone on a few lower limbs. I can't pull up my bags as the are firmly rooted. I checked under the five gallon buckets (which were also somehow firmly rooted) and found a shit ton of earwigs underneath. I killed what I could. I tried spraying a bug with dawn but it didn't kill it or at least didn't kill it right off. I stomped on them and tore open the earth. Logic dictates they are probably under the grow bags as well. I'm going to try Spinosid tonight. I'll look up some other methods as well. If anybody has advice please hit me up. UPDATE: Went back down at 6. Super sunny and humid today. Temp was 92 with humidity about 90%. I couldn't spray. I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Found four more moth leaves on the sick isolated plant. They must like the injured ones better. 8/25 Watered and defoliated what needed it. Buds are growing rapidly. Took pictures but have been unable to upload due to slow internet connection. Hopefully the weather will allow me to spray tonight. 8/26 Watered heavy as it's been in the 90s. Couldn't spray as it was to hot last night. Buds are tightening up. Ran out of LCPT so I need to find an alternative. Now that plants are flowering it's easier to see the damage from the earwigs. No buds where they should have been on some low branches. Not many and hopefully the few that got lollipoped will focus growth on the top. I hope I'm able to make it down late tonight to work. I was worried about my plants flowering late but that might be a blessing in disguise. I've seen lots of people losing plants to bud rot. Thanks for stopping by and please leave any thoughts or advice in the comments. 8/27 UPPED MY FEEDING REGIMEN TO THREE GALLONS AND USED TWO TBSP TIGER BLOOM IN PLACE OF KOOL BLOOM AND USED A WHOLE TBSP KELP FOR THE HEAT. This heat is killing me. Yesterday was over 95f with rh in the 90s. My medication makes the heat harder to bare. Defoliated what needed it. I'm in town looking for a fungicide. Planned to use apple cider vinegar this morning but of course I couldn't find it. Buds still rapidly forming. I'll update later. I picked up potassium bicarbonate and citric acid and have the recipe and ingredients for both diy green cleaner and green cure. Once the sun starts going down I'm going to use the potassium bicarbonate recipe. Bought a bunch of potassium bicarbonate and citric acid. I am now able to make diy versions of both green and green cleaner. I mixed 1tbsp potassium bicarbonate with 1/4 teaspoon dawn and sprayed two gallons on the plants last night. Leaves were yellowing more and traveling upward on the blueberry. Bleeding like nitrogen deficiency. I'll monitor. If plants don't improve I'll need to do a flush and an application of Spinosid. Wanted to take pics but the phone died. 8/28 Thoroughly watered today. I also had to defoliate a ton of yellow leaves on my blueberry's. I'm hoping it's not nutrient lockout. I still have three issues that could be my problem 1) the WPM 2) PISSIBLY ph fluctuation or worse w lockout and 3) earwig or inch πŸ›/ moth larvae causing damage. I'm coming out of my funk so hopefully I can fix these issues. Smell is amazing and the buds are really starting to develop. They looked bigger in the evening than they did in the morning. It was over 90Β° f yesterday and I woke up to 50 this morning. I'm sure these big temp swings don't help much. 8/30 Rained last night but I watered slightly as there wasn't much rain. ADDED TWO MORE I.R. CAMERA'S last night. I feel more secure as the area is also protected with motion sensors and a whole bunch of other stuff I'm not going to mention. Anything bigger than a porcupine and things get bright and loud and signals get sent, roads blocked ECT. Not my first rodeo deep in the Maine woods. The grow will not be left alone and hadn't been for a few weeks. Anyway I lifted a 5 gallon bucket and found more earwigs. It jives with some of the damage I've been seeing. I'm thinking of spraying spinosid instead of BT tonight. At least the buds are starting to fill in. They don't seem to bother those as much. They did bite off a bunch of grow shoots though. Either way I have a few issues to deal with. As long as the weather stays alright until October I should be fine. My ice cream cake is barely flowering and it's HUGE. I have another seed that's in a similar state. Others are further along. We shall see how things go. The little ones could be transported inside at night if necessary.

03/05/2021 Beginning of week 4 looking good, I think she will start flowering in week 5-6, so I might top her, she is growing fast so I hope it will not harm flowering time. Ps. I did top And 24 hours later I can see all is well, where I topped her is healing, and side branches responding! I know she will be ready for flowering. Check out video and see.

Day 27 ⚠️Green gelato destroyed because hermaphrodite.⚠️ currently high temperature (28/32 degrees), humidity 45/50% (thanks to the dehumidifier), tall plants, between 50 and 80 centimeters at the start of the 5th week. I reduced the power of my lamp by 10%. Day 29: temperature 27* and humidity 45%.

for the girl, several yellowed leaves were removed :) everything looks not bad, maybe I would even say very beautiful :) I already increased the light intensity to 85%, I'm a little afraid that there might be a problem due to excessive heat, well, you have to watch :) the girl drinks a lot ,in a week I poured her 12 liters :) I also gave the girl a really strong food mixture with almost 1100 ppm, but I also gave completely clean water with 20 ppm and 6.3 ph :).

Things are going great in this tent, a couple brown calcium def spots forming in a few areas and as it goes we're currently out of cal-mag lol, we should have more delivered in about 2 days...I really like the structure of these plants, a few long (fat) colas always make for easy cleaning/drying and the SP-3000 gets in there deep..we could never run this close together under our old LEDs or without bending them sideways but we've had no issues yet keeping everything vertical under the MarsHydro...The temps are a little high and we're still watering this tent more than the others but airflow is really good and the plants seem happy for now....we removed a bunch of lower growth from most of them this week so they'll put that energy towards the stuff on top and minimize "popcorn"..the smell is just amazing, this is a very hearty and beautiful strain..I'm happy we were able to grab a half dozen clones..all the Widow clones we took are well into veg at this point ...πŸ’ͺ🐱🌱....we live in zone 5 (US) and are limited on what we can grow outdoors but I think with these being a "fast" strain we could flower them all outside..we'll play it by ear lol..well thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings, we'll update if anything exciting happens midweek...have a safe and happy Memorial Day (US) Growmies!! β€οΈπŸ’‘πŸŒ±πŸ˜½πŸ’¨ ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

En las hojas se ven las manchas del oidio residual.. por el momento estΓ‘ inactivo, pero no se si volverΓ‘, lo que sΓ­ se seguro es que cuando corte, voy a hacer bud washing e intentarΓ© traerlo aquΓ­ al diario. Lo harΓ© con el objetivo de acabar con toda espora y residuo. Por otro lado, habΓ©is visto los tonos taaan oscuros de morado que estΓ‘n cogiendo las hojas? Incluso una partida por la mitad mitad verde, mitad morado oscuro! Seguramente las deje una o dos semanas mas, osea, esta y quizΓ‘s la siguiente, quiero sacar el tricoma ambar, no todo pero si un 40/60 blanco/ambar..

Still chugging along even though I've neglected them a little. A fun little side experiment, I learned a lot. At least I'll have flower from 6 more girls, not a complete waste.

But she’s showing me something else, and I’m not here to fight her β€” just guide her. Now after stretch, I’m keeping side shoots only if they: Fill real canopy gaps Don’t crowd neighboring tops (minimum 15cm spacing) Aren’t growing into walls or toward the next plant Anything too close, too low, or heading into shade gets removed. No point forcing it. Looks like I’ll finish with 14–16 solid tops, depending on how she settles. I’m just trying to give each one enough light and space to stack properly. No overcrowding, no larf β€” just letting her do her thing with a bit of structure. Increased Tri Part Micro to 50ml as well. 28.06.25 VW11 one week since I flipped to 12/12 and she is stretching nicely, a bit shy in showing pistils compared to the Fantasy Feast regulars I have in the same tent. 29.06.25 VW11 increased GreenBuzzBloom 30β†’ 60ml 06.07.25 FW1 TriPart Micro: 50β†’ 30ml TriPart Bloom: 0 β†’ 20ml Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Watermelon + Pumpkin): 10 β†’ 30ml 12.07.25 FW1 GreenBuzzBloom 60 β†’40ml, TriPart Bloom: 20 β†’ 60ml, fpj 30β†’60ml 19.07.25 FW3 Got some bleached tops, been out and about at job interviews and didn't notice a last minute stretch spurt 😭, should recover fine though plenty of time left 😁 22.07.25 FW3 TriPartMicro 30β†’20ml , TriPartBloom 60β†’80ml , GreenBuzzBloom 40β†’50ml 24.07.25 FW3 Cal-Mag 60β†’40ml 26.07.25 got thrips but handled them with extra airflow and defoliation. πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ± 🌿 Day to day tasks & actions 🌿 πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ±πŸ’¦πŸŒ± 26.07.25 FW3 – Fed 5l of #1 50% strengthβ†’ 2l runoff (*RUNOFF reused for tomato plants) πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ Nutrients in 30L #1 πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ πŸ’§ TriPart Micro: 10 β†’ 15 β†’ 20 β†’ 30 β†’ 40 β†’ 50ml β†’ 30 β†’ 20ml (0.67ml/L) 🍢 TriPart Grow: 0ml (0.00ml/L) πŸ’§ TriPart Bloom: 0 β†’ 20 β†’ 60 β†’ 80ml (2.67ml/L) 🍢 GreenBuzz Bloom: 10 β†’ 15 β†’ 20 β†’ 30 β†’ 60 β†’ 40 β†’ 50ml (1.67ml/L) πŸ’§ Cal-Mag: 60β†’40ml (1.33ml/L) 🍢 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (new batch): 10 β†’ 30 β†’ 60ml (2.00ml/L) πŸ’§ pH Down: Citric acid (buxXtrade) πŸ“¦ TOTAL: 250ml per 30L πŸ”¬ 8.33ml/L πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆπŸ’§πŸΆ βš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈ βœ‚οΈ Tools & equipment βœ‚οΈ βš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈ βœ‚οΈ 2Γ— MarsHydro SP3000 βš™οΈ MarsHydro 150mm ACF Ventilator βœ‚οΈ Trotec dehumidifier (big unit) βš™οΈ Mini no-name dehumidifier βœ‚οΈ Kebab skewers (LST – stainless) βš™οΈ Wire + roast skewers (LST assist) βœ‚οΈ Scissors (HST) βš™οΈ Vacuum (for spills & cleanup) βœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈβœ‚οΈβš™οΈ --- 🍏πŸͺ🌬️🍬🍏πŸͺ🌬️🍬🍏πŸͺ🌬️🍬 Apple Fritter (Kannabia Seeds) 🍏πŸͺ🌬️🍬🍏πŸͺ🌬️🍬🍏πŸͺ🌬️🍬 Species: 50% Indica / 50% Sativa Genetics: Sour Apple Γ— Animal Cookies THC: Up to 25% Effect: Euphoric, relaxing, creative Flavor: Sweet, fruity, pastry notes Flowering: 56–63 days Resistance: High Indoor yield: 450–500g/mΒ² Outdoor yield: 600g/plant Structure: Strong, bushy, dense buds
