Flower Week 2 Day 14 to 20 - 4/1 to 4/7 Simply watching the stretch from this point. Defoliation is needed by day 20 (4/07) so I removed all but the top 1 or 2 fan leaf sets as well as a few of the lowest branches. The idea here being that I want to mostly lolipop the colas and allow more airflow/light into the center. Feed this week was an auto pot reservoir feed now at 700ppm total before add-ins. I used 175ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 525ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) and ph balance this week was for 5.8 where Io plan to maintain it until harvest. Video Post defoliation Next week nutes will increase in Bloom mix again but also eliminate Veg mix. Feed will again be 700ppm before add-ins with 5.8ph before feeding.

Thursday this week has been good so far, I pulled each plant out yesterday and tidied everything up. I got rid of all the tiny lateral branches that didn’t make the cut and I got Rid of everything that was below about half way down the plant. Obviously the lateral branches that grew to the same height as the canopy are staying it’s just all the non starter stuff below. I annoyingly had my in take fan die on me. We’ll sort of, it just keeps tripping the fuse on my electric so I assume it’s from when I had my res flood onto the floor - I forgot it was there on the floor because it was hidden behind the res

~ FastBuds PAPAYA SHERBET Photoperiod~ Well here we go on another journey together through 'Canna-land' and this one's kinda special... forget that, it's VERY special because this is FastBuds newest surprise for the community, a FEMINIZED PHOTOPERIOD STRAIN!🤯 I was fortunate enough to score these seeds, of which only 1000 were available and can't wait to see what this strain can do! This Papaya Sherbet, according to FastBuds, is a hybrid with a 9-10 weeks flowering period. For a more detailed and accurate description of this strain the following from FastBuds says it best: "Combining the massive stature of Papaya (Oni Selection) with the strength and resilience of one of our best keeper cuts (Sunset Sherbet), this strain develops into a big, expansive bush adorned with numerous bud sites that later transform into a generous harvest of medium-sized buds. Papaya Sherbet flowers deliver a signature flavor of premium cannabis with subtle citrus undertones that emerge upon inhaling. During growth, her aroma makes for a sweet yet pleasantly bitter fragrance, giving you an idea of what the smoke will taste like. Notably stress-resistant, Papaya Sherbet is a great choice for growers working in challenging environments. She is very forgiving and rebounds quickly from any adversity, allowing growers the freedom to experiment with confidence that she will take everything like a champion she is. This strain embodies resilience, flavor, and abundant yields in every grow cycle." Sounds like an epic strain and I personally cannot wait for this lady to strut her stuff!😍 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Papaya Sherbet photoperiod indoors as our weather is still a bit too chilly to put a newly sprouted seedling outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 40's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures are in the mid 50's℉, which shouldn't be long. After which, she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes from BioTabs and slow release dry amendments from Gaia Green. Once she's established herself outside she'll be given periodic top dressings of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 along with worm castings and Compost Tea's. Her grow area is approx. 5'x5' and I have posts and a trellis net set up already for when she gets bigger to aid in training her. Let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 8/19- Week 2 of flower is here for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and she is looking fantastic! Our weather has finally cooled down and the daylight has dropped to just over 13 hours now. 8/21- My daily watering campaign continues with me giving the Papaya Sherbet 5-8 gallons of well water from the garden hose. 8/23- Luckily, with it's wide node spacing, there's not a lot to do with the Papaya Sherbet at this point except to keep her watered! She has not required any thinning out and has had only a few lower leaves turn yellow, which I promptly remove. Overall, this lady is a dream to grow, requiring little to no effort or maintenance! 8/25- There's the second week of flower on the books for the FastBuds Papaya Sherbet photoperiod and I have great expectations for how this fine looking lady is going to turn out, as she has exceeded all my expectations so far! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

7/14 12am MONDAY. THEY ARE STILL SLEEPING BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE BEST RESULTS. will continue with aminos, mblue , enzyme. 3am ADDED TRIBBLES TO THE DOCTOR PROP, BIG BIG DAY, AND MAGNETIC FACES..... SHOULD INCREASE MY AMINOFUNUPTAKE. LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!! 🚨WHY DOES TMG POWDER WORK SO GOOD ON ME? from search """"AI Overview You're experiencing positive effects from TMG powder, which is likely due to its diverse roles in supporting crucial bodily functions. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons why TMG (trimethylglycine or betaine) might be working well for you: Methylation Support: TMG is a methyl donor, meaning it provides methyl groups (a carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms) that are vital for a process called methylation. Methylation is involved in numerous bodily functions, including DNA repair, gene expression regulation, detoxification, and the production of neurotransmitters (chemicals that influence mood and cognition). If your body's methylation process was inefficient before supplementing with TMG, the addition of these methyl groups could be enhancing many aspects of your health and well-being. Homocysteine Reduction: TMG helps convert homocysteine, an amino acid that can be damaging at high levels, into methionine. Elevated homocysteine is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. By supporting healthy homocysteine levels, TMG helps maintain cardiovascular health and blood vessel integrity. Liver Health: TMG plays a role in liver function and detoxification by aiding in fat processing and supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways. Research suggests that TMG may help protect the liver from alcohol damage and be beneficial for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Cognitive Function and Mood: TMG supports the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are crucial for mood regulation and mental clarity. Some research suggests TMG may enhance the effectiveness of antidepressants and help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, potentially by lowering homocysteine levels. Cellular Health: TMG is an osmolyte, meaning it helps regulate cell volume and maintain fluid and chemical balance within cells. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by oxidative stress. Athletic Performance: Some studies suggest that TMG may improve muscle strength, power, and endurance, potentially by influencing creatine synthesis and reducing fatigue. Important considerations While TMG offers potential benefits, research is still ongoing, and some studies have shown mixed results regarding certain benefits, particularly related to athletic performance. It's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, including TMG, especially if you have existing medical conditions or are taking other medications. High doses of TMG may cause digestive issues in some individuals. In summary, TMG's positive effects are likely due to its ability to support essential methylation processes, help regulate homocysteine levels, promote liver health, and potentially contribute to cognitive function, mood, cellular health, and athletic performance. If you're experiencing positive results, it's a good indication that your body is benefiting from TMG's multifaceted actions. """""""" 7/ 14 1145PM STILL MONDAY. WATERING TODAY WITH THE SYSTEM AND TAMI INSTEAD OF ADVANCED NUTES/ FOR SUPPLEMTNS. TAMI SMELLS LIKE CLEAN FRESH CLAY SO NICE, SO ALL THE PLANTS SMELL LIKE THAT. ONE MORE TIME WITH TAMMY. 🚨 NO ENERGY SHOTS TODAY!!!! JUST COFFEE. ITS THE QUICK SORB AMINOS, NITRIC BOOST, METHELYENE BLUE, TMG POWDER, METHYL FOLATE PLUS, WOW!!! WHAT WORKS ON ME WORKS ON THE PLANTS, JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! 7/15 Tuesday 424am. All plants are doing great water today with the System and TAMI today, 1pm Tammy is a little bit strong even at a half a milliliter per liter with the exception of the Tyson 2.0 goats. These are just incredible. I can’t begin to describe how strong and how different these are from any other plant I’ve ever grown.🚨🚨🚨👍👍👍👍💥💥🌿 7/16 430am smoking GC Auto I trimmed yesterday, very nice. II love Autos for this. nice smoke right off the plant, no 2 weeks to dry and 4 weeks to cure, nice right away!!! Not perfect some chlorophyll, but bong filters that enough and a nine not too strong feeling. 7/17 330am they are all doing good. I felt it was time to try a higher wattage on the lights. I hope it’s not a mistake, but I have the cooling system worked up so it should help exit the hot air directly off of the driver on the light, they seem very strong and able to handle the extra light we’ll see.🚨🚨👍

16 Jul 2021 I lost a day somehow, and I’m wondering how? For some reason I thought it was the 15th, but obviously it isn’t. Somehow, I have allowed 4 days to go by between feeding her. I’m so surprised she’s still doing as well as she is because my care for her and her tent mate has been sorry! It just speaks to their resilience, and not my skills as a grower, but I hope to do better. Today I’m sticking to the ripening feed stage that I started on the 12th. Today she got a gallon of water chilled to 50F, with CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraBloom 4.5ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom .5 tsp. The initial pH was 6.2, and normally would be great, but her runoff pH would be very low, so I added pH UP 2ml which adjusted the pH to 6.4. The difference between pH UP and DOWN is ridiculous! The same amount of the other would have lowered the amount by about 2 full points, but the UP only adjusted .2 😳. Anyway, the final pH was 6.4, and TDS going in was 784 ppm. Runoff pH was still low at 5.5, and TDS runoff was 2513 ppm. We’re still in a heat wave right now, so the tent temperature was 84F, and humidity was 60%. I hope to keep this feeding stage up for a couple of weeks, then I’m going to start flushing her to prepare for harvest. I’m thinking harvest should be in about a month. 18 Jul 2021 Feeding time again! I’m continuing with the ripening feed stage today, and will be till the flush in a couple of weeks. Her buds are fattening up quite nicely, but I have sad news to report. It looks as though one of the branches we broke a while ago and taped up isn’t going to make it. Some of it is looking ok, but the leaves at the top of the cola are dying, and others around it are looking poor as well. Luckily, the buds below the break still look well. I was running out of time for the lights tonight to prune it off. I’ll do it tomorrow and go ahead and harvest what is already there. It’s closer to being ready than not. Today she received a gallon of chilled water (57.4F) with CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraBloom 4.5ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom .5 tsp. The initial pH was 6.2, but I wanted it a little higher. So I added 1ml of pH UP, which adjusted it to pH 6.5. The TDS going in was 839 ppm. The runoff pH was 5.8, and the TDS runoff was 2307 ppm. The tent was still warm at 84F, and humidity was 47%. My Blue Ox is looking wonderful, and I’m hoping she continues to do well. 20 Jul 2021 Today ends week 14 of this plants life. According to Rare Dankness Seeds, the Blue Ox has a 60-70 day flowering time. So, according to them, the people who produced the seeds for this lovely plant, she should be ready for harvest on or about July 24th, which is her 60 day mark, or August 3rd, the 70 day mark. So that is either next week or the week after. I’m going to go ahead and start flushing her out from the next feeding on till she’s ready for harvest. Her buds are nice and fat, and she smells lovely! Today I finished this week with the ripening phase on the feed chart and gave her the following: CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraBloom 4.5ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Dry KoolBloom .5 tsp all mixed into a gallon of water chilled to 58.7F. The initial pH was 6.6 and was not adjusted. The TDS going in was 771 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 2364 ppm. Our heat wave is still raging, so the temperature in the tent was 88F, and humidity was 49%.

Good growth, Blueberry powering through cal mag issue. Skywalker will be first to harvest for sure. Insane amount of frost on that plant. Glueberry og continues to require fairly frequent defoliations to open up canopy. Blueberry starting to get some subtle berry coming through.

Flowering day 15 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys :-) This week the ladies developed beautifully 👍. The stretch has started very strongly :-) . Watering was done twice this week with 1.2 l (see table above for nutrients). The heating mat does exactly what it is supposed to do, you can see that the ladies are doing perfectly again 😃. Fresh osmosis water was mixed with tap water in a 100 liter tank so that I would have enough stale water for the coming week 👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. During the check, I noticed that after spraying neem oil 3 times, there were still a few damn trips to see. I have ordered nematodes for leaf and substrate against tripse. Then they should finally be gone again 🙏🏻 have fun and stay healthy 💚 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.ripperseeds.com/en/feminized/kmintz-feminized-cannabis-seeds Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Oct. 04 - I've seen Magic Melon do well in a fairly small pot, a tiny pot may be pushing it but I'm willing to try, even if it takes some extreme measures I wouldn't otherwise perform on an auto like topping and heavy defoliation. At 6:00am I put a seed (fresh from the refrigerator) into a moist paper towel, sealed in a baggie, sandwiched between two magnetic sheets, on a plate with a smaller plate overturned to cover then placed on top of a refrigerator. Oct. 05, 7:00am - The shell has cracked and a small taproot has started growing. I placed the seed into the soil in the tiny pot, covered loosely and gave a little plain water. Oct. 07, - The sprout broke through the surface.

We have pulled 4 of the 9 Gorilla Cookies as they looked ready, the other 5 we will monitor and pull as required. Some of the Buds look really awesome and they are sticky and smelly :) The 5 left in the tent are on an H20 only diet and will now have more room and light until they get chop chop :)
