Week 8 Flower Flush flush flush 💦🚽💦🚽💦 It's extremely important to flush for at least 14 days when using synthetic nutes, or any bottled nutes in my opinion. The aim is to make her cannibalize (fade) as much as possible before she's chopped. By doing this, she's using up her stored nutrients, causing the leaves to eventually die. The better the flush the cleaner the smoke 👌💨 even when in an organic set up, the plant needs to be nicely faded before being harvested. Otherwise she's still full of nutrients. I still feel I'll be able to get an even better flush when I eventually make the switch to RO water, as my tap water holds a ppm value of approx 150. It's not too much, but 0 is always better. She was taken down on Day 57 flower, after a 16 Day flush. I didn't want to take her any further as she was quite stressed being so close to the light. So to avoid getting seeds I waited until she had a beautiful fade before giving her the chop ✂️ I always take my girls down about 30mins before the light turns on so there is minimal chlorophyll production in the plant. This is to ensure the best smell, taste and overall burn after drying and curing. A subtle but very sweet-ish tropical fruit skin kind of smell to her. Her buds are super dense and covered in trichomes. I trimmed off all fan leaves and then each branch was hung in my drying box and placed in a cool area. She was dry after 6 days and ready to be dry trimmed and jarred for curing. I'll post those pics with the harvest update! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🐺

Día 88 y penúltimo antes del corte. Ya se aplicó Flawless Finish para un acabado impecable como su nombre lo indica. Siempre prefiero hacer el lavado de raiz solo aplicando agua en las últimas 2 semanas, pero esta vez lo hice aplicando el finalizador y luego los últimos riegos con agua purificada. La verdad es que estoy contento con los resultados de esta nena, que es hermosa por cierto, desprende olores ácidos, cítricos, dulces. Los colores son hermosos y las flores están rebosantes de tricomas, lo que la vuelve muy vistosa. Es todo por ahora, estaré manteniendoles informados en estos últimos días. Buenos humos! 👽

28/05 EC: 1,46 PH: 5,7 29/05 EC: 1,48 PH: 5,62 30/05: EC: 1,62 PH: 5,62 31/05: EC: 1,53 PH: 5,9 01/06: I've some problems in balancing PH and maintain the EC at the right level: next res will be with a lower EC. EC: 1,48 PH: 5,8 02/06: EC: 1,5 PH: 6,01 03/05 As the leaves show signs of nute burns, I decided to make a flush with 10 liters of RO water. I started with an EC of 0,05 and PH of 9,15. I added 3ml of PH- until I reached 5,8 and then added 15 ml of GHE Flora Kleen. The new res will run for 48h. I also eliminated all leaves burned or dry. So the new res is: EC: 0,45 PH: 5,8 crossing fingers

Today, I watered both plants and checked the drain pH, which came out at 6.1 for both. Blue Dream is thriving—super vibrant, spreading out nicely, and showing great vigor. BCG, on the other hand, has been slightly droopy since transplanting and isn’t opening up as much. I also noticed that BCG holds onto more water compared to Blue Dream, as there was significantly less runoff despite using the same amount of water. The environment remains stable, with a VPD of 1.0. PPFD is set at 450, with the light positioned 35 cm above the canopy. So far, things are progressing well, and I’ll keep a close eye on BCG’s development over the next few days. Topping is planned for the end of week 2, but if BCG doesn’t recover fully, I might wait until the beginning of week 3 before topping her.

This week I rearranged the tent and put the auto flowering Purple Lemonade and the auto flowering Wedding Cake off to the edge of the tent so that the two veg growth full photo period plants would have room to reach their full potential. We then upgraded their living conditions. I rearranged the tent moving the filter and fan setup outside of the tent to the roof, I did this so that we could utilize all of the space within the tent for growing. I then had room at the top of the tent to raise the light all the way up to the ceiling. With this extra room hopefully the plants will shoot up to the sky. I also used bamboo stakes to support and tie up all of the plants. I did this because after the transplant I didn't want the plants to shift or settle odd and be off center. The new cloth pots are 10 gallons apiece. I used LUSH soil, and top dressed with 10 tablespoons of Pride Land's veg growth on both the Blueberry and the White Widow plants. I also installed an oscillating fan in the grow tent to provide some low stress and hopefully create bushier stronger plants. The light schedule is on 12/12 now and has been since the end of week 6. This is to induce the preflowering of the plants when they are mature enough to do so. We could have continued to push veg growth, but with all the fresh growth that we are seeing right now, it seems that veg growth will continue under the 12/12 until the plant is good and mature. We are not stunting the plants growth by switching to 12/12 but rather giving it some recovery time to process all of the nutrients that we are now feeding it. I don't want the plants to become overwhelmed. They were starting to show negative attributes under the extended 24/0 light schedule, and depleted all of their nutrients. With the softer 12/12 schedule hopefully the growth will be more health and controlled, I don't want the plants to reach the point where they are stressed or deficient and drooping or losing color in their leaves. We want happy healthy plants, they will make for us excellent medicine.

The three girls are almost switching into flower, so this week i'll start with a low dosed flowering mix in terms of nutes Differences between the three are huge, there is no doubt that the three different environments we've put them in are definetely putting their mark on the growth and overall character of the plants. the signs of light deficiency on plant number 3 are showing clearly: its brittle and very wide spread, you can tell its looking for more light. Number #2 gets the most light and is hardly stretching at all. it seems like a crop of lettuce. Number #1 gets plenty light, not showing any signs of slowing down however i'm noticing that this one consumes less water (probably has to do with temp/RH levels being different due to the different lamp) than number #2. Probably should give #2 some more straight water because its consuming so much water and i do not want to overfeed it. I think #1 is doing fine and can do with a little less water, but with nutrients. #3 is hardly using any water it seems like, i'm thinking of moving it next to a radiator so it should be able to get a quicker absorbtion and vaporisation of water in its system, hopefully charging it with some more power. Just did some LST on day 29 as well, including removal of 2 leafs of both #1 and #2. Not sure if it should be considered defoliation though.. Don't think so ;) ------------ end of week 5: i've flushed plants #1 and #2 as seen on a video on youtube. the idea behind this is to flush out any leftover grow nutes and start with a clean slate when the girls transition into flower. as an added benefit i've discovered that it is much easier to maintain a beneficial VPD value when the earth is completely soaked once a week instead of watering it with smalller portions more often. The earth contains a lot more water and evaporates it into the climate, easily reaching a 60% RH without a humidifier in these fridges. I've even lowered the lamps to get the temps up, because the VPD was reaching values below 0.90.

Day 70 after switch. its going to end soon I think. 65 - 70 days recomended by breeder. Maybe I will just not water again and let her slowly die 😱 she looks good - beatutifull almost - although I inspected a problem at one of the buds... more in my question that I will create. bigger leafs are getting soaked out of nutritions and start to get yellow. probably the last time you see her alive. I try to recap a little bit of the veg. phase in the upcoming week to get the diary a more "complete" look 😎 Also I will update you as soon as I got this in the glasses. thanks for your participation on my way with ralph wigum from root riot seeds (almicanna)👌

Week 13: Week 5 Flower—A Garden in Full Bloom 🌸✨ Hey, Grow Fam! 💚 We’re deep into Week 13, and this room is nothing short of mesmerizing. Each plant is unique, showcasing its trichome-coated beauty, with white hairs dancing in their distinct patterns. It’s the culmination of patience, hard work, and overcoming challenges. The two-layered canopy—thanks to some ambitious young ones—is a testament to adaptability and dedication. 🌱🌟 Feeding Update: Aptus Holland Breakout Powder This week, we introduced Aptus Holland Breakout Powder into the feeding mix at 0.5g/L, alongside the nutrients already in use. This powerhouse additive is designed to promote robust flower development, enhancing both density and resin production. Breakout Powder brings that extra “oomph” to the table, helping the girls truly break out into their full flowering potential. 🌺💪 Combined with our existing recipe, the results are already starting to show. Buds are swelling, trichomes are shimmering, and the room smells heavenly. If you’ve ever wondered what a well-rounded feeding schedule can do, this week’s results are the answer! TrolMaster Magic: Monitoring & Stability I’ve included a few TrolMaster app prints to share my love for this system. It’s not just about controlling the environment; it’s about mastering it. The app provides real-time data, historical records, and an unmatched level of convenience. Whether I’m sipping coffee or working in the garden, the system keeps me in sync with my grow. This week, I’m particularly thrilled about how stable the pH levels have become since transitioning to full mineral-based nutrients. Unlike the organic-mineral combo, which required frequent adjustments, the current setup is practically self-sufficient. This stability means happier roots, more consistent nutrient uptake, and ultimately, better plants. The data speaks for itself—check out the comparison print! Comfort & Style: My Aptus Holland Pants Oh, and can we talk about how comfortable my Aptus Holland pants are? These have become my go-to garden gear. Stylish, functional, and perfect for spending long hours among the plants.

Monday, 14.03.2022 All plants seem to be almost fully recovered from phytotoxicity a few weeks back. They are stretching nicely and putting out new leaves. Numerous bud sites developing. I would have wanted them to be bulkier but let's see how they do. No significant rain this past week so I was able to feed a couple times. 8~ml per 5 gallon tap water Ph Down got me to around 6 Ph. I thought I would have needed to water on Thursday since two days had passed since I last watered but the plants seemed turgid and OK and Friday night was the same so I didn't water until Saturday. Found a mature stink bug hiding under a leaf on a stem top.

Hello. Got the plants into the main grow room. There is 2 videos . In the first I just sit in the room quitly and turn the camera. you get a sense :) of what it's like in there. In the second I try to describe what's in the room, equipment and maybe a new technique. With the tomato cages I use, and needing the plant to slow down, I twist the stock into a large figure 8. Eventually I take off what is on the lower part of the 8, and just work the top of the 8. About 2 weeks in veg in this room. Then I take clones of everything before I switch to flower. >Carbon dioxide enhancement: I had to make that choice 20 years ago. I could, rent a tank and have my name on a list, at the gas store. Or make my own. They didn't have the small propane tanks like they do today for the blue flame you get when you burn it. I decided on a kerosene lamp burning down as low as it could be without going out. It makes a half blue and half yellow flame. I vent constantly so the small amount of carbon monoxide is not a problem. For the first week you can smell it a bit, but the smell disappears after that. I light the lamp in the morning and put it out at lights out (unless it's bed time). It needs to be put in a place in the room that cant get knocked over (pets, children, ?). I try to use extra attention whenever I use it. It can burn down the place. Be careful Please. >About 17 years ago I thought I'd lower my table by knocking a hole in the cement and dropping my 10 gallon reservoir more. I was able to lower it by 16 inches. Still have to watch the height of some plants though, it worked out well. Watch the video. > Air cleaner: The reason I got a big 8 inch exhaust fan was, I had a bout of powder mildew and needed better a exhaust system. When I plugged it in there was too much air moving. I phoned and asked and the salesman said that a dimmer switch wasn't a good idea. I put one on anyway. Works great. I have the fan barely on in the winter and about half way on in the middle of the summer. I haven't had any powdery mildew since. About 12 years ago I bought a good air cleaner. An ORECK, It has electrified plates that zap any organic particle or spore that come between the plates. Use to grow a Northern Lights that got 6 to 8 ounces per harvest, it grew big buds. Buds as big as my forearm. I had problems with gray mold attaching the buds. But none since I bought the air cleaner. Ya learn as you go.

These are the last pics I have from the grow. There are 3 more from the police press release but I won't upload them here. To sum up, 5x Big Bang on DWC(4 inside the 1.5x1.5, 1 inside the 0.6x0.6) 1x Gorilla Glue on DWC 1x Green Crack on DWC 4x Big Bang on soil 1x Green Crack on soil. Out of 10 Big Bang seeds the 9 sprouted. (90% Rate) 3 Green Crack Seeds, the 2 sprouted 2 Gorilla Glue seeds, 1 sprouted. total harvest is 113+72=185g from 2 Big Bang plants on DWC. The rest were never harvested. I have to take note on the fact Big Bang could manage to carry its weight. Green Crack and Gorilla Glue had to be tied up cause they just couldn't manage it!. Good job on that GreenHouse Seeds. The life lessons learned from this experience. #1 : Do not bite off more than you can chew (or less is more) #2: Do not trust anyone. #3: Mother Nature gave us cannabis in rather low-THC content and sun for growing it. All the current strains and techniques of growing indoors are a product of human greed wanting more and more and more...I don't want to support this anymore, I'd rather stick to a few landrace seeds picked up from some old stoners and growing guerilla instead. Many might disagree with me on that, but come on guys, who can go against nature if not The One who gave it to us?
