🌿 Week 10 Update: Entering the "Bulking" Phase (Flower Week 5) We’ve hit a major milestone! The plants have officially finished their "stretch," and we are moving into the most exciting part of the cycle: The Fattening. 🛠️ The "Improvise & Overcome" Moment Sometimes in a grow, things don't go exactly as planned, and you have to know how to handle it yourself. I saw the colas getting too close to the LEDs and didn't waited for a disaster—and I took action and raised the whole tent. That’s the sign of a real grower: being able to adapt your environment to the plant's needs on the fly. By creating that extra headspace, i’ve protected the harvest from light bleaching and heat stress. 💎 What’s Happening Now: • Resin Explosion: This is the week where the "frost" really takes over. Trichome production is ramping up, and the scent is likely getting much more intensely i needed to add some silica. • Bud Architecture: The flowers are no longer getting taller; they are growing "out." They are filling in the gaps and becoming dense. • The PK Hunger: The plants are craving Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). ⚠️ Critical Checklist for Week 5: 1. Humidity Drop: RH between 40% – 50%. Dense buds trap moisture, and we want to keep mold (Bud Rot) far away. 2. Airflow: Since i raised the tent, i needed to make sure fans are repositioned to move air across the top of the canopy and through the middle. 3. Watering: They are thirsty! Keeping the moisture consistent, as even a short drought now can stress the production of essential oils. One love growmies 🤜🏼🤛🏻 UPDATES- 16.1.26 Short video shooting, there are still some issues, but im looking forward strong dense buds

Major stretching this week! starting to fro up with pre flowers & have been selectively defoliating as usual about every to every other day during the time spent with bought 3 scorg nets like a noob. taking 1 down

Hello everyone 😎 Week 4 of flower for the strawberry banana auto from Fast Buds 💥 She grew fast with beautiful green color,for the nutrient 4ml/L terra bloom & 1ml/L power buds next week i will introduce Green sensation at very low doses from Plagron ✔️ Mars hydro SP-6500 70% Have a nice day 😋

THURSDAY 11/29: Impressive plants..both of them. Cruella is waaay more sensitive to heat and needs soil with VERY good drainage. She wilts for a few hours every time I water her, no matter how little I give her. I continue to poke and prod it with my moisture probes regularly to keep it from compacting too much for her. Carlotta hasn't given me any problems at all. She's just a little slower, but almost Cruella's equal in size now. I foliar fed a few times and did a photo session. FRIDAY: Foliar fed a few times and tweaked a few things.. They are both spending most of their energy making flowers now...only grew a half inch last night. SATURDAY: Both Cruella and Carlotta continue to stretch. I fed therm with about 1/3 gallon of full-strength bloom nutes today and foliar fed them a few times and re-positioned them. SUNDAY: Cruella's buds are swelling up a bit now. I plucked off most of her burnt-up leaves and she's looking quite sexy now.😋 Carlotta's main stalk and branches have really thickened up. She's gonna be able to support some super-sized colas like her older sister now.👍 I tweaked my ventilation on Saturday and the temps were staying at or below 84, so... I quickly added my other 60w 3500k COB light to the tent..it's and positioned it on the Cookie-twin's backside.. 😎 MONDAY: I foliar fed them today and will again for a few more days, but will probably start rinsing them off with ph'd spring water after that. Their buds are starting to thicken now. TUESDAY: Cruella and Carlotta both appear to have root problems. They look overwatered even when i just feed them a little and even when they are almost dry. I probed their soil very well and they were actually almost dry. I just fed them a tiny dose (12 oz each) of ph'd water with boomerang, kangaroots, calimagic, and some bat guano powder. If I don't see improvement in the next couple of days, I'll assume they are rootbound and transplant them into 5 gallon fabric pots.

Hello Diary. In the end, I have my own praise for this strain. Although they did not both emerge at the same time, they eventually had a harvest together. The outcome is in the end almost 140 g which is a great average. The dried flowers are hard and compact, reminiscent of velvet to the touch, really beautiful. They dried in a growbox for a total of 14 days along with their roommate Watermelon. My wife, although not a consumer, enjoys trimming which suits me great because I can take photos during that time. After trimming, we put the dry tops in jars where they matured for another 20 days. And now as I write this report, I’m enjoying the smoke of Purple Punch, drinking coffee, and trying to remember if I left something out in the report. If so, feel free to write and ask. I apologize for the delay with the reports, but a lot of photos and videos and other commitments have slowed me down in that. And hope those who visited the diary got useful information, thank you to everyone who supported this trip, thank you for all the compliments and comments. See you soon with new diaries.

Week 8, and my custom fit SCROG has been installed! ❤️ At Day 50 I separated my 7 gallon girls and my 5 gallon girl. Once done, I began the very easy process of adding my “floating” SCROG. I use ratchet straps, just like the ones that come with lights to secure the four corners of the screen to the top of my tent. This allows me to adjust the screen height as necessary when 1) first installing and 2) once the full stretch of flower has occurred, I can tweak it a bit to balance the canopy as best as possible. It’s not 100%, I still get some over achievers, but I find it useful as another option. I like to do a major defoliation before I set the ladies in. Typically till this time, I have done almost no defoliation, just LST and some HST techniques. I adjusted the ladies placement to allow growth out all sides of the screen, set the screen height and began tucking and bending. The defoliation and bending allows light to penetrate all those side shoots that would have amounted to nothing, and they become top shoots as they grow up and form an even canopy. I don’t like to weave, it can damage the new shoots and cause growth problems, but the goal is to get as even a coverage as you can while allowing for plant growth in all directions. Once complete, I will give the girls about a week to recover and grow those new shoots. I like to have about 80% coverage of the screen, before I change my light cycles to flower 12/12… and if they are healthy and strong. I’ll decide this weekend if it is time ❤️👊🇨🇦😎 Happy Gardening!

Another great week for the girls, I have not seen a single deficiency, other than the odd yellowed leave under the canopy, typically due to lack of light. I will come through soon and do a defoliation of both tents to allow for more light to penetrate, and perhaps get a good push for some girthy colas 😋. I have lowered the temps a bit in the tents by controlling my lung room temps, and they are maxing out at 77 degrees and hitting a night time cool of about 70. I have also lowered the humidity to hover between 47 and 52 %. Hopefully will start to get some nice colours as they finish. As I mentioned before, when I water is when I like to get under the canopy and check the stems and leaves for anything that shouldn’t be… and typically once a week after watering I’ll wipe down the tent and sanitize any surface I can. There is no reason to get lazy, that’s how you get Pests, Mold, and PM. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

This is my accidental topped auto flower, I have it place on a stand to get it closer tho the lights as I hurt this plant quite badly and stunted it's growth. I am switching it to 12/12 today.

as the flower comes near to end in am going to water less and slowly increase the distance to the light.

day 44 ....complete change of solution and small defoliation.🌱 the girls are doing well and getting fat💚 ... a nice breath of frost has also arrived ... see you next friends 07/05/21 day 48 the harvest is approaching👊💚

Pues esta es la última semana el sábado 12 corte las red mandarine y hoy martes le toca a la 8 ball

Another great week, They are both enjoying the new nute schedule. Keeping the light 18" from the canopy is proving tricky as they grow. Its approx 16" and Im gonna try to tame the crazy branch at the back of Nancy. But im feeling good about them so far.Im wondering how long the flower will take ;-)

These ladies are putting off pure blueberry fruit!! Pheno 1 is super frosty , stacking nicely, and smells like a blueberry candy - almost like a gatorade glacier freeze smell - it is awesome! Other 2 are looking great as well but pheno 1 has stolen the show.

Another eventful week! Transplanted into 5 gallong pots. Its interesting to see that there hasnt been much vertical growth but allot of branchung out compared to how it was with the other lights

Parfait.

Y hemos llegado al final de esta semana mas que satisfecho con los resultados, no me canso de verlas sobre todo dos de ellas por los tonos purpuras que desarrollaron ya desde el inicio de la floración. Por el momento no me atrevido con la malla pero el tutorado para aprender a jugar con las técnicas de bajo estrés y ver como se comportan las plantas ha resultado realmente divertido.

Hello everyone, Well its getting kinda packed in the greenhouse so all i have for you guys is a little video, See you guys next week... 🤘🤘🤙🤙

Just got done with trimming the 4x4 @greenhouseseedco Super Silver Haze / @blimburnseeds Silver Surfer Haze tent. The final yield is exactly 1000g plus some (kind of a lot)that I smoke in the last 2 weeks 😃 Also got 6, gallon size ziploc bags filled with good quality trim for concentrate. To be honest I was expecting a little more but keeping in mind that this grow I did not supplemented with bottled CO2 I think I’m good with the results. Definitely I enjoyed a lot this grow and I’ve learned even more.

Week 4 and growing strong, Pineapple Skunks are doing amazing, accidentally fed some water/mega crop that was PH'd way too low, I've been noticing more orange/brown spots developing on my Pineapple skunk, other one is still good, hopefully its just a PH issue. Probably going to actually top/FIM the GDP soon and maybe top the Pineapple Skunk that wasn't FIM'd to get more than 2 main colas. Happy Danksgiving! Decided not to do any more topping, hoping the screen helps even the canopy enough maybe will flip to flower on the 9th, after week 6? we will see... Started noticing preflower/pistils on the cheese and a very pleasant aroma in my tent :)

It's been a beautiful plant to grow, I thought she was gonna be a little bigger, however she has produced an amazing quality flowers, very sticky, terpy and stinky, the citric aroma it's absolutely wonderful just because of that I could grow her again and again. You definitely need to try this strain if you lovd weed.💚🌱🤤
