💚🌋

At this point all is going well, the flowers started to gain more trichomes. I kept the same nutrients as the previous week and kept it to 3 times a week. She does drink quite a lot about 1 to 1.2 Liters a day which is great. Hope you enjoy the small video, first time I edit it for growdiaries.

This is my first grow, felt like now is the perfect time to start. 😅 Picture 1 - The plants will have a 24h schedule with both sun and LED light. The solution with the cloth in front of the window is only temporary, I need something thats easy to pull up as soon as the sun comes out. My light is about 16in/37cm away from the plants, please let me know if its too close or too far away from the seedlings. Up until this point I germinated both the seedlings using one of those 'Easy Start' Kits with Microorganisms, I then just transplanted both plants with the soil still attached to them in the final pots. I am using Bio Bizz Light Mix for the soil. In about 1 week I will start adding the fertilizers, I will go with about half of what it says on the nutrient schedule because these are autoflowers. Picture 2 - Day 1 - Seedling number 1 is looking healthy. (I think?) As you can see I put a hygrometer next to it so I can monitor the Humidity and Temperature levels. I currently have a humidifier running next to the plants and humidity levels seem to be good so far. I read online between 65-80% are good at this stage. Picture 3 - Day 1 - Seedling number 1 again. At this stage I only water around the plant and dont soak the whole pot, I read that soaking the whole pot while the plant is this tiny can overwhelme the plants. I also noticed that the leaves look kinda yellow-ish? Please let me know if thats normal. Picture 4 - Day 1 - Seedling number 2. I need help with this one I dont know why but he doesnt look good, from the beginning he was much slower than plant 1 and when he finally popped out he looked like he was dying, he is kind of gaining a little bit of color now again but I dont know if he will make it. If you know whats wrong with him please let me know. I hope he opens his two little leafs soon. I still have a third seed laying around so please let me know if it'd be smarter to just abandone number 2 and germinate a new seed. Thanks for reading this far and I'll update as frequent as possible. Day 1 Issues Update - After taking a look at seedling number 2 again and seeing that after all this time it still didnt show any progress, I noticed that one of the two first leaves is actually cut. I mustve damaged it while inspecting earlier because I, (stupid newbie move), touched it too much or whatever. Now germinating my last seed in hopes that all goes well. Since I dont have anymore 'Easy Start' kits im going to try a different germination method, I will put the seed in a cup of water with a piece of cardboard on top of it overnight (12-15h) and then plant it into the moist soil afterwards. 😄 Picture 5 - Day 2 - Seedling 1 is still doing fine. In the morning the temperatures went up a lot (29 Celsius), due to the sun shining a lot through the window, and the seedling was showing slight signs of heat stress (Leafs going up and small yellow-is tint), I then opened the window and the Temperatures quickly dropped back to normal (20-23 Celsius). Moisture levels seem lower than yesterday and Im not sure why (probably because of the heat and opening the window?), still at a solid 62% tho so Im not too bothered. Picture 6 - Day 2 - Since my last Seedling 2 died I germinated another one, I put it in a glass of water over night (~15h) and then planted it into the soil. Hopefully it'll pop out in the next few days... 💪 Picture 7 - Day 3 - Everything looking good with Seedling 1, I kinda felt like it was sort of streching too much instead of growing its leaves, so I put the light closer to it. I will water again tomorrow, the last time I watered was when I put it in the soil 3 Days ago. Picture 8 - Day 3 - The new Seedling 2 is still germinating and will hopefully pop out of the soil in the next few days. Picture 9 - Day 4 - Seedling 1 still going strong, leaves are praying but I read that that is a good sign. I watered both pots again today with just Ph-water, will add fertilizer in about 3 days for seedling 1. Seedling 2 is still germinating, will post a new picture as soon as it pops out of the soil. 😉 Picture 10 - Day 5 - Seedling 1 looks healthy, but is going kinda slow. Turns out I had the light far too high... 😐 Pulled it as much down as I could now and its already growing better! Main indicator for not enough light was the stretching and the thin leaves. I will probably have to invest into a bigger setup as soon as flowering hits. ✊ Picture 11 - Day 6 - Seedling 1 leaves are getting bigger and the next set is already on the way. Picture 12 - Day 6 - After 4 days germination, seedling 2.1 finally popped out the soil! 👏 Picture 13 - Day 7 - Seedling 1 leaves seem a bit curled up, probably because of the hot sun this morning, Im not too worried tho. Will water with nutrients the first time tomorrow. Picture 14 - Day 7 - Seedling 2.1 looking fine, soil was pretty dry so I watered it a bit with ph water.

Very healthy looking seedling, starting to grow very fast, she's got a great size for 14 days only and I think I'll transplant her in a couple of days more when she is 17 days or so like the other ones in this run, they grow extremely fast under the tsl2000 by mars hydro, very happy with the results I'm achieving in terms of growth, I hope the same in flower! I have Transplanted this lady into her definitive 11l pot on February 6th which is her day 17 since she was planted, she's 4 days younger than the rest of the plants in this 2x4 run, she's looking very healthy and strong, let's see how she keeps developing herself!

First week of flowering really beginning to develop a strong scent.

This is just a beautiful strain to grow. The leaves have a rich dark green appearance and the shape is a mix of fatter indica leaves and longer sativa leaves. It's tendency is a fairly manageable and predictable grow/stretch and it responds well to training and powerful lights. The leaves on one of them changed colour at the end of flush and went yellow with some purples and pinks but the buds themselves have almost a silver glow to them. The pistils come out in early flower in a very strong, spikey and symmetrical way that amplifies the cool glow given off by the trichomes. With the rich, dark, beautiful leaves, the whole appearance is really beautiful and otherworldly. One of the Wedding Cake plants self-pollenated and there are some seeds in the CBD Blue Shark, but they're few and far between. It's not a disaster like the Wedding Cake. Honestly I can't say enough good things about this strain. The plants were hardy, easy to work with and forgiving of mistakes and experiments. The flowers looked amazing through every stage of development, and the finished product smells great, tastes great, looks great, and makes you feel great. This is my favourite strain to grow so far.

Well the pictures speak for themselves, roots must be well established now. Pretty much doubled in size and great structure. The smells are pronounced, should no carbon filtration be used surely the entire house would smell. Only means good things, looking fwd to see what this girl will bring to the table.

The plant showed some problem areas on the leaf, and the characteristic red stems appeared on the upper floors of the plant. I began to wonder if this was due to the PH level or not, but I added some PK 13-14 just in case. keeping track of the PH level when growing on soil is very difficult for me. On coco substrate it was easy there are still some problems with the humidity of the tent, because my ventilation with a pc cooler and a charcoal filter mat for the hoods can barely cope with the large vapors of the leaves

Ya están en la maceta definitiva (11 litros ) y a final de semana preparare el té de compost

Just finishing them up, probably wont wait a whole week to take em down! They look so good and the Mephisto grow is coming up right behind it!

8th week , 4th of flora They are tall, strong and healthy Using the same fert proportions as vegetative stage. They reached 77cm tall

Plantas sanitas. 3era semana de flora.

is in its exact point to be cut ... she grew healthy ... with cloudy days ... the substrate I did ... was fed every 15 days with guano and worm humus only ... amber tricomas 5% and mostly cloudy

Bonjour à tous les padawans et maîtres jedis stretch 15 centimètres (Stretch explanations more) EXPOSURE TO LIGHT One of the main culprits in abnormal stretching of cannabis plants is the lack of light. Plants that are too far from an adequate light source will respond by accelerating stem growth in order to get closer to the lamp themselves. Especially when there are many other plants. A lack of lighting can easily cause overcrowding in a growing chamber, reducing the steady progression of your crop and the distance ratio between your bulbs and your plants. To address this problem, be sure to provide enough light to your plants to prevent stem growth. At the same time, you should not position your lights too close to your plants either since this would also result in an over-stretching of the stems and in some cases, the loss of your crop. In addition to the distance between the light source and the plant, the type of light you will use also affects the size of the stretching of your crop. The orange and red lights encourage stretching and result in thinner, larger stems. And conversely, blue light stimulates a growth of thicker stems and a smaller size. When a species is ready to enter the vegetative phase and undergo its most drastic stretching period, metal halide lamps can be used to deter far too long stems. THE HEAT Heat is another essential element that can determine the stretch size of your plants during vegetation. Temperatures above 27 degrees push the stems to lengthen more and more and will propel the potential of sativas to push as high as possible. Heat lamps that are positioned too close to plants create an intolerable environment that will grow large, soft plants that will potentially wobble until they fall and lose flowers in its fall. OTHER CAUSES OF STRETCHING There are multiple variables that can lead to the stretching of plants beyond what could normally be expected of the plant. Environmental stressors resulting from transplantation (when a plant passes from one pot to another) can cause the plant to return to shock. This will eventually trigger a reaction causing a stretch. Cannabis plants that are not grown in decent conditions or do not receive enough nutrients will respond in a variety of ways and this includes stretching. Crops that are not spaced far enough apart are likely to stretch to sting the light to other plants. Due to extreme proximity, the plants will fight among themselves to reach the light, forcing them to expand as much as possible throughout the crop. HOW TO CONTROL STRETCHING DURING FLOWERING Stretching during flowering, you guessed it, takes place when you move your plants from the vegetation stage to the flowering stage. This is a completely normal reaction, as your plants are preparing to bear the weight of their heads. Stretching of a plant at the beginning of flowering varies widely; some plants can double in height while others grow only a few centimetres. There are, however, two main variables that can give you at least an idea of how your plants are stretching during flowering, and how much. Here are these two variables: Variety: Genetics has the greatest impact on the size of your plant. In general, sativa varieties stretch more than indicas and tend to develop long, slender stems. Light: Some lights, such as HPS, are more likely to encourage stretching. In addition, great distances between your canopy and your lights will cause the plants to stretch as they try to get closer to the light source. Stretching during flowering usually lasts the first two weeks of the phase. To minimize stretching, keep your lights between 10 (for CFL) and 30 centimetres (for HID) of your canopy. Finally, choose indica varieties if you have a smaller growing space. HOW TO AVOID STRETCHING In many cases, you can expect your cannabis plants to stretch during the flowering phase. Keeping that in mind helps to make a plan in case your species ends up growing much more than you could have imagined. If the information is available, get information on the standard size of your species and compare it to the size of your growing space taking into account the necessary distances between the bulbs and the plants. TRAFFIC While outdoor crop operations benefit from natural air to naturally limit stretching, indoor crops must assume the maintenance of air circulation within a confined space. Basic ventilation is enough to help the cannabis stems strengthen and become thicker rather than too high. In this way, the plants continue to grow vigorously without reaching heights and at the same time, your tolerance ceiling. MANUAL INTERVENTION For growers who want to get their hands dirty, there are physical procedures that can be done to reduce stretching. Similar to the natural effect that the wind has on cannabis plants, manually bending the leaves and stems will cause tiny cracks in the plant's tissues that will cause the plant to focus on regenerating its wounds instead of its vertical growth. THE TOPPING Topping is a form of manual intervention on cannabis to influence its performance, shape or size. In essence, topping is a process in which a new node is cut, growing from the plant to reduce its size and create a "v"-shaped notch that will eventually form two heads. Topping may be an effective measure to combat stretching, but it is important not to do so when the flowering phase begins. In most cases, an abnormal stretch of cannabis plants will not completely destroy your crop. In fact, stretching can indeed help increase your performance. For growers with a growing operation large enough to contain tall plants, stretching can increase the total yield of a species with more vertical space for head formation. In both cases, stretching can easily be planned in advance and there are multiple solutions to help you with this problem which is all too common.

Tag 53: So gut läuft es nicht die Blätter sind schon wieder so hell geworden, ich weiß auch nicht. Bin gerade etwas deprimiert 😪

so week 11.. The gorillaz are carrying on beautifully, however I realised having 5 plants sharing one reservoir is now quite a bad idea.. 2/5 of them look to be well into flower, fattening up and some tri's starting to turn cloudy but look like theres still plenty of fattening up to do. The other 3 are now just beginning to fully pistil up so will still be requiring flowering nutes when I should be beginning a flush on the other 2.. any comment or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!? The Stardawgs have basically grown into tennis balls. Such a vast majority of bud sites all the way down look so much larger than I could ever have hoped and i've had to tie some of the buds to the main colas!! I will Be starting the flush this week as most Tri's are now cloudy i'd say around 4/5 currently but more throrugh macros will be taken as the days progress. The only problem i've had is some of the sugar leaves on 2 of the plants have really taken a beating and show some strange signs. I think the LED's aren't to be under estimated and i've battled some burning and what seems to be calmag issues through the grow.

Very strong amnesia smell, smells a little bit louder than the pheno #2 however the clasic amnesia smell it's awesome, cannot wait for her to be Ready!! 👨‍🌾💚 Stay tuned!

Happy Monday Folks! Branches are starting to sway from the weight of the growing buds. Topping up every other day with Week 8. Hands down, Bloom is my favorite phase to watch. I've uploaded a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure. 'til next time, Stay Tuned and Stay Blessed! 🙏
