May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

Saw some pistols.. was a feminized seed but still good too see that. Week 2 of 12/12 but I think it has been in preflower the last couple weeks.. maybe officially starting to flower now. Didn't notice much flowering stretch.. maybe this upcoming week? Anyone know how long preflower lasts? ❤️

Week 4 for these girls. They've doubled in some since last week. I took a couple of the bigger fan leafs off this week, also raised my lights up allowing some stretch. Starting to see some preflowers and pistols. So next week will be off to the flower stage. Happy Growing

THIS IS NOT GELATO: IS MORE ONE HARVEST OF REST OF OTHER PLANT AND OTHER ONE. BECOUSE CONTESTS I CANT CHANGE IT SO, I WILL WRITE SOMETHING LIKE I HAD DO THERE, IN MARK AS BLUECHEESE THE GELATO ONCE I HARVEST SHE. NEXT TIME I WILL DO A DIARY FOR EACH SEED TO AVOID THIS CONFUSIONS. SORRY

Miam miam on va se régaler !!🔥😵S dans

6/19/2024 this plant is short and stinky as fuck even as a cutting. Excited for this next run I'm doing. The last clones from this nursery, were the rs11 and purple octane and those were phenomenal. Let's see where this goes yall 6/25 been staring at her trying to envision how to go about training or topping. She's short and the lower branches are fairly prominent and reaching close to main stem. I will probably Top her after she starts growing regularly and gives me some more to work with.

07.12 - Big change this week : the Sweet Dreamz is finally outside for her full life cycle as the tent was overloaded with 4 plants so I took that one out. The plant is now around 80cm in a 7L pot , the structure is tall and a bit stretchy like her parents. I also spread some STS on the lower stem to make a sex reversion and make seeds with the 2nd Plant of that run ( the one I bearly shows you ) and with my other strains like the Cream Cookie , C4 Matic, BlackBerry and 6 shooters from my others diaries , it would be my largest breeding project. What would be your favourite cross from my actual strains ? Tell me your thought in the comment section 😁✌️🏼🌱🦎

Now the Scrog!! 💐

Week 3 of Flower (Day 15-21) Should be the last days of stretch. Hopefully, because the height is limited and i do not want to rethink the top of my growtent. Beautiful flower development and i have had no problems in flower so far. I will turn the nutes up a bit, as they have not complained so far. Furthermore, i will lollipop or make a major defoliation when stretch is done, in order to deal with temp and humidity. (airflow) 👽👉24/10 Praying hands, very happy ladies. 👽👉25/10 I am keeping a close eye to the grow, as i have implemented low-energy-consumption solutions, whenever the price of electricity is higest. Meaning the climate is less steady, in some times on the day. 👽👉26/10 I was supposed to water today, however my schedule did not allow. They do not have any drooping leaves yet, they will be fine. 👽👉27/10 Waterday* and cleaning up the dead bottom leaves. Upped my nutes from 1.77 EC to 2.08 EC Bioheaven 2ML/L > 3 BioGrow 2 ML/L > 2.5 BioBloom 1.5ML/L > 2.5 TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.4ML/L > 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L 👽👉28/10 Upped the nutes quite a bit yesterday, so exiting to see their reaction. Until now they look healthy and responded well. 👽👉29/10 Amazing development. 👽👉30/10 Waterday* Ph 6.2 and they shared 12.5 liter Bioheaven 3ML/L BioGrow 2.5 ML/L BioBloom 2.5ML/L TopMax 1ML/L Calmag 0.5ML/L Rootjuice 1ML/L

Removed all the new side shoots and the first set of fanleaves. Did this because I want the plant to focus all of its energy on the main stem. I dont need any new side shoots. I thought that this weekend I would flip them in to flower. But I'm going to wait some more. I want to see more height in the plants and I think that after this defoliation that hight will come quick😁🚀 PATIENCE IS KEY! On day 75 I changed the light colour from blue to red to see if this can promote some stretch before changing the lightcycle to flowering. ‼️I did not change the hours of light‼️ On day 76 it seems like there has definitely been some kind of reaction from the plants overnight. They seem to have stretched a little bit. I'll keep a close eye on em these coming days.

This week has a fun surprise, Of the two seedlings I operated on as they where growing sideways in the medium one of them survived. It is quite small and is is going to be playing catch up all grow so may move it outdoors in the summer and just clone the shit out of it if I like the way the other plants go. Also if it bounces back fast I could try and incorporate it into the SCROG. but I kinda have my mind set on just three plants. Also starting a lot of my hot pepper in this tent with the Honey Mints, hopefully they will pop up in the next week or so and get good sized before they need to be transplanted outside in 8-10 weeks. Their seeds always take so long. Other then that plants are looking good and healthy. The bigger one has a bit of leave warping, nothing to worrying as its not progressed or gotten worse, likely from me giving it a bit to much water trying to flush out the high EC from before. Other then that nothing else to report, thinking of doing an early top on them to mainline all 3 of them. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

Another easy week did some light defoliation and tightened down some of the LST. Gave a lite banana tea. Make sure to go check out my sponsor Mars-hydro.com and use code cgd2021 for a discount.

This is my first grow ever I forgot to add more photos of other plants on next update I will have all photos!! I am doing everything organic, I am using compost soil from my cattle and other top soil I have been composting for awhile now. I am also using earth worm castings… I also have earthworms in the pot with the plants.. seem like all plants have ton of white hairs coming out now I don’t know what that means but I am learning as I go!!

Not starting yet! Will place in paper towel on Dec 30th and plant in soil on Jan 1 Good luck everyone!!!🏻💚 Revision— just placed a seed direct to soil today- Dec 30. Should germinate slightly after the 1st! Updated. Sprouted and ready to go!

Well she over doubled her height this week! Look how much she's bushed out too! Possibly flowering has just started? Not sure how much she will stretch.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas Pink Runtz de RoyalQueenSeeds , que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. Las flores aparte se ven bien resinosas, y con unos tonos muy llamativos. a sido una genética con la que disfruté mucho cultivarla, es algo complicada cultivarla pero merece la pena si eres cultivador con experiencia no te será problema cosechar. Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

First flowering post - they arnt fully flowering yet tho I musta emit. I dunno why they all seem to be slow to sex but now there are a few pistols showing in the main growth mode so I’m v happy. The cheese plants are doing great. When I was LST’ing I must admit in order to make the canopy much more even I decided to try ‘supercropping??’ I pinched the stem enough for it to go soft and bend so I could get the highest growth node to the same height as all the others. It looked aweful after I did it but now after 24h it looks a lot better - really healthy even! I must admit I gave them a heavy dose of microbes and molasses just after bending and tying. Im sure that had a lot to do with the fast recovery. Full steam ahead to see some bloody pistols!!!!! Im working on which strains I want to grow next at the mo as well. Trying to get sweet seeds to send me some Tropicanna poison but not sure if they send test seeds to the UK. Probably not - we’ll see. Iv been wanting to grow that plant for aaaages. I’m also looking for a really decent gas strain. I been recommended NYCD. Havnt narrowed down a breeder yet tho. UPDATE - Saturday Thought I’d do a quick update just to say I added a few photos and a video from my security camera in there. It’s quite useful just to see how much they are stretching in a week. Not that I need to know it’s just cool. Also when I go away (as I do most weekends for about 2-3 days - sometimes more) I can just tune into the cam to make sure my physical security hasn’t been breached by any gangs lol. Well not any gangs just one - and they happen to be backed by the government. Lol I worry that when I’m away they will raid and leave me an arrest warrant after having stolen all my plants and meds. It’s a fairly dramatic fear but it’s not without its reasonings. I have been raided by the police number it’s times so it’s not a totally irrational fear - the difference is that I’m sober now (other than cannabis medicine of course) and so I’m not drawing attention to myself and bringing unwanted eyes on me and secondly (and maybe more important) I don’t actually sell drugs or weed or anything anymore so yeh. It’s a rational irrational fear lol I do believe the police have bigger fish to fry HOWEVER here in the UK it is still VERY illegal to grow so i have absolutely no doubt that given any chance they would happily relieve me of everything iv built up in the past 4 years (whilst being on probation I will add lol). The proof is in the pudding though. Every since I quit using heroin and benzodiazepines in favour of cannabis things have just been getting better and better and iv been able to function better and better also. I must admit I was worried for a while that cannabis took away my creativity when I used lots of it but I am learning that it was actually just the fact that my life was in a place I didn’t like and I was dealing with serious childhood trauma. When I was using heroin and benzos it allowed me to cover it in order to live my daily life (obviously, otherwise I wouldn’t have been willing to put up with the MANY negatives - there had to be something it was doing for me), however, when I took away the numbing opiates and benzos I had to start dealing with it and it was that trauma and having to deal with it which is why I wasn’t able to be creative. I’m an artist and so creativity is very important to me but for months, well years actually I just wasn’t able to paint or even play music really for that matter. I just couldn’t bring myself to do it, I think now because I was just preoccupied in my mind dealing with stuff. I won’t deny tho - that cannabis in excess DOES take away my motivation to get up off my ass and turn the TV or Netflix off though. I do have to watch out for that because If I’m not careful I can end up sitting there all day smoking when I should be out doing stuff and then I miss windows for my other crops where I can’t just turn the light source on and off whenever I feel like it - it’s quite hard to do that with the sun!! Anyway - I kind of use this space as a proper diary every now and again when I need to get something out. It’s not like anyone but me really reads these bits anyway so it doesn’t really matter!! Hell - even I don’t really read them tbh! UPDATE - I’m all jazzed up about growing again for sure. I somehow only just figured out really that you I can program different ‘scenes’ within my temp and humidity controllers. So anyway obviously the past month it’s been set to the veg/auto settings and I recently obviously had to switch it to the flower settings but I kind of forgot to lower the RH and adjust temp accordingly. So anyway that’s a long way of saying I did that lol. I’m definitely going to include another CBG seed in my new grow as I’m really interested in growing some hemp for medicinal use. Maybe as a tincture and or edibles, probably from rosin. It just seems to make sense rather than doing a nasty crude extraction using alcohol. The only trouble is I believe I sacrifice yield but then the flip side Is it would be less because there is less nasty shit. So I havnt narrowed down a specific breeder yet but iv been looking at a few. I was also looking at 1:1 CBD/CBG strains but they said they need more breeding before it brings the cbg ratios up in the majority of plants as it’s meant for people planting hundreds of seeds (from what I can gather). I received Fastbuds LSD-25, purple lemonade, chemdawg and I dunno something else but I’m kind of uninterested in growing them atm so they’ll stay in the vault. (which is growing pretty big now lol) To satisfy my purple craving I will be growing the sweet seeds Tropicanna poison as it looks banging and iv wanted to grow it since I sort of half grew the Dutch passion critical orange punch. So a long time. I will also be narrowing down two strains from the EU humboldt site. I intend to order tomorrow evening when I get paid as I’m always paranoid of them selling out. This is the only time iv really slowed down to choose what I want to grow. Also this is the first time iv chosen based on flavour first. I intend to cover sweet, sour, Chem and citrus with probably 4 THC dom strains and then the cbg variety also. I’m interested in starting to look at KNF but mainly from a vegetable plot perspective atm. I’m happy and comfortable using salt based nutrients now I’m not paying a lot for them and I’m not buying into the whole shipping a load of water philophosy - I do realise it can only get me so far tho. I do believe my allotment is a good place to start as I’m not reliant upon it. So if my practices don’t work it’s not as big of a deal to me. I rely on my cannabis crop - I can’t say the same about my veg yet.

Another mostly positive week completed. Pests firmly at bay. Environment humidity looking good and all the buds are getting bigger. Top dressed some nutrients / insect frass earlier in the week which I’m sure was a week or so late. - Heidi looking very hungry by D57 - the whole plant is looking yellow. Solution to problem is some organic liquid nutes which arrived today from now as needed. Overall they and the other 2 ladies in the tent are looking a zillion times better than my first grow. Starting to feel the harvest impatience kick in. Will try to overcome this time Thanks for reading have a great week 😊
