6/5 Starting week 5 The girls are drinking more quickly. So today I watered and fed using TPS1 Circle has just passed Gaia in height. From Friday 6/2 she grew 6 inches from 22 to 28 she got 3 liters Gaia grew from 24 to 26" she got 4 liters 6/7 Circe is growing like a weed (heehee) and quickly passed Gaia. Circe is 31" Gaia 27". Gaia mother is the stereo type mom large hips and flowing tresses while Circe is the willow-of-the-wisp free spirit so true for a healer. Today I flushed all the plants with 1 gallon of filtered water to remove any buildup of nutrients. Hopefully, since I've cut way back on fertilizer, they are getting what they need. The other two Cream Caramel and Gelato 41 are short and remain on the crates to keep them within 30 inches from the light. At 6/9 they are 11 inches. 6/9 water and feeding day. Circe and Gaia both drink 4 liters of water each feeding. Circe grew 3 more inches She is now 34.5. Gaia has stopped growing at 27.5 inches, Gelato 41 is 12 inches (lst) and Cream Caramel 13. These are AFRO girls. Short, Squat and Very bushy. So many leaves, I may have to trim out some large fans to give light to the bud sites. I put mirrors under their canopies to increase light penetration. My mom and dad met and married in post WWII Japan and spent several years there. Mom taught the children of the officers and diplomats but she was also a life-long learner. Her interest were cultural, religious spiritual, music and art. She studied Sumee, Japanese painting, ikebana, flower arranging, and cooking. Some of her Sumee art shown is in week 2. Here in week 5 I've included some flower arranging pictures known in Japan as Ikebana. @DreamIt, the tree is for you From the beginning of my life, my parents encouraged exploring the world around me. I tried different religions and over the years learned, that while there are many religions, they basically say the same thing. I choose spiritually and oneness with nature rather than the structured sermons of the church services I attended in my youth. Education was emphasized since my mom was a teacher and my dad an officer. My early education was in private schools since I tested above the grade level in public school. My education was fundamental reading, writing, arithmetic. science and art until I went to college. My Dad had the greatest influence on my interests in science and math. In college I studied psychology & biology and wanted to be a doctor. While I was very smart, I really didn't want to continue 12 more years of school for a medical degree. I switched my major of study to business and focused on accounting. More soon. I hope you are enjoying Alphonse Mucha's art nouveau representation of my goddesses. His art nouveau is the epitome of feminine grace and beauty. I found a doll at a thrift shop. If you are following this diary, you will remember the Alphons Mucha Goddess and picture of my Grandmother in week 1. The doll I found looks like both. So coincidental. 😄 Thanks for visiting my Goddesses and friends. We appreciate the 🌱 love 😘. Hope you had a great week and took time to have fun 👍

First week of flower done. Girls are looking super happy and are going strong. I fed them with a very light mix of FPJ and some fish and seaweed mix. Next feeding will include some banana FFJ. I have removed all the lower branches and leaves, only keeping the top 3 nodes (on some I left a few more). At the end of the first week, they are stretching a bit and really filling up the space. Hopefully they won't be stretching too much.

Start of Week 11. I'm DEFINITELY chopping this during this week. I have a photo in the tent with it, (also why it's been on 12/12 if you have been following along), and it's getting ready and I just want to dry it all at once so I can do a complete reset. SO... I took some better pictures of the plant. Enjoy. PS: In some of the pictures, you'll see my other plant. The Flo White clone on the right side of the tent. :)

Well it's official the first week of flower is in the bag! All in all not an eventful week but it's always exciting to see the girls start their transformation to flower and seeing the stretch kick in! Netting is really filling in nicely, will be a good clean up job on fan leaves in a week or so. Did a diatomaceous earth treatment because I was noticing some fungus gnats still, had it on for 48 hours and since have not seen any new ones in the traps so 🤞. Added a 6" oscillating fan below canopy, should help keep temps even and keep bugs away. With all the trimming down there the fan doesn't even effect the leaves hahaha. Flower week 2 here we come!

Thanks in advance 😉! -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- From the next week i will start to record a timelapse video of the tent. Cheers!! -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I'm so sorry for the delay this last weeks, hard work times are very bad for my updates. This week is obvious how after remove them from the cheap chinese light, they're growing at high speeds. I'm going to top them the next week, I don't have very clear what I'm going to do, because I'm really without time this las weeks, and that is terrible for the plants, as this are very important weeks if I want to train them in a good way, and i can't, I'm praying to the goods of weed instead expending my time. Ok ok ok, let's talk about the plants. For me, it's impressive the speed at how are they growing this 3rd week, they are already at about 15 cm tall, and for the next the 20 cm rule it not going to be enough to measure them. All leaves are very green and I don't see any weird sympthoms, but if any better eye than mine sees something i would be very greatful with him/her if made a comment. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 16/09/19 DAY 15 - 1 l with all week nutrients (Organic Grow Half dosed) @ (0.9 EC | PH 6.1 | 25.7ºc) 22/09/18 DAY 21 - 1.5 l with all week nutrients -(Silica Power & Pro Active) @ (1.2 EC | PH 6.1 | 25.7ºc) *****ESPAÑOL***** Por favor, si te gusta esta semana dale un like, no te cuesta nada 👊. ¡Gracias por adelantado 😉! -----IMÁGENES & VÍDEOS----- A partir de la semana que viene empezaré a graba un timelapse del armario. -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Siento mucho el retraso sufrido esta semana y la que viene, los tiempo de mucho trabajo son muy perjudiciales para mis updates. Esta semana es obvio como después de haberlas quitado de la luz china malísima se han puesto a crecer a mucha más velocidad. La semana que viene las realizare el topping, no tengo muy claro qué ni cuanto puedo hacer esta vez, por que realmente tengo absorbido el 95% de mi tiempo estas últimas semanas y esto es malísimo para las plantas, ya que estas semanas son muy muy importantes para poder realizar un buen entrenamiento en las plantas y no me está siendo posible. Así que estoy rezando a los dioses de la hierba en vez de gastar el tiempo que no tengo para que todo vaya bien. Ok ok, hablemos de las plantas. Para mi realmente es impresionante la velocidad a la que están creciendo esta tercera semana, ya están a 15 cm de altura y la semana que viene la regla de 20 cm ya no va a ser suficiente para medirlas. A mis ojos todas las hojas se ven verdes y sin síntomas raros, estaría muy agradecido si algún ojo más experto que el mío ve algo y deja un comentario. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 16/09/19 DÍA 15 - 1 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales (Organic Grow mitad de la dosis) @ (0,9 EC | PH 6,1 | 25,7ºc) 22/09/18 DÍA 21 - 1,5 l Con todos los nutrientes semanales -(Silica Power y Pro Active) @ (1,2 EC | PH 6,1 | 25,7ºc)

Day 15. All girls will get either first or second feed. Upside down Kush was left in original pot, newwaver Kush was ripped with fingers from soil and transplanted to new pot, never will i have two plants in same pot ever again !!! And just couldn't throw out one ;))) Kushes got middle of the tent, think i will top them only, it will be too bushy with 11 heavily LST'ed plants. Think day 18 - first training day for 8 girls ;) Day 16. Girls are loving life - thats fact !. Now i have to rethink LST plan, thought to train them on day 18, but they grow so compact, that i have two options : A. Top them on 5 or 6 nod and train from there. B. Lift lights and induce vertical grow. But its such a tricky move, usually they repeate that overstreched patern even if you bombard them with light after ... C. Postpone LST to day 24-26. Never i did it so late, stem becomes very stiff, hard to bend her heavily ... Next few days will show ... Day 18. Girls are real beauty, they started to strech a bit, will give couple more days and will train them hard on monday. Day 20. Dice was rolled !!! LST !!! Girls are very compact, will be fun to veg them will have to plan well how to flatten up them. Kushes are behind, but i had to keep tent as dry as possible, need plants dry, otherwise stems crack from such heavy training. Put couple soft wires to lift leaves from soil .. Pure ph water and loads of spray now !!! Next few days will show ... Happy growing !!!

Hey guys, late into week 5 finally have some time to tend to the gals. It's been almost a week since I last watered them. We had 2 thunderstorms roll in so that kept the ladies quenched but when i went to check them out today most of them were pretty dry. Before I watered them, I topped off the soil level with some more promix hp and started our first topdressing. As usual 2tbs per gal @ 70/30 ratio of 444 to 284. I'm my case 21tbs to 9tbs. After that I water them with 50mL of molassas in 5gal of dechlorinated water with each plant raking about 3L of water. I also defoliated some under growth and to clean up the canopy to allow more light to penatrate prime grow sites. Last week I noticed some fungus gnats flying around, so I put up yellow fly traps with bamboo skewers (best way imo). I also did a preventive maintenance and watered the girls last week with neem oil soil drench to kill off any larvae or eggs that may have been laid. So good so far, as the traps did not have many gnats on them. Other than the usual pm items done, the ladies are taking off quite fast, so I need to stay ontop of things when I can! Hope to see you on the next update!

Midway through week 3 and things have taken off since I transplanted this past weekend! Still no nutrients added. Drilled holes in the sides...can't wait to tie them down. Side branching will do much better in the near future Sunday Feb. 10th update -It has been one week since I transplanted -plants have been tied down -trying to manipulate leaves so side branching gets light exposure -SECOND light is coming tomorrow -very difficult to get enough light on all 4 with 1 light -By the end of this week I plan on transplanting into Final Pots and prepare clones -Watch how crazy week 4 gets!

Ne Obliviscaris. Humidity Day 40-45%, Night 60-65% Internodes are very close together. was hitting 450umol at seedling level making it absorb more than it can use, reduced to 280-300umol @18 hours as expected vertical growth increased. During the 18 hours of daylight the first 9 is highly saturated in blue, 5000 kelvin, the 9 hours thereafter are closer to 3000 kelvin. Last 9 hours dosed 280nm. Height is too far to cause damage. UVB light is not detected by plants in the same way other wavelength/colours are. UV cannot be measured using umol as it doesn't drive photosynthesis. The plant has tiny little sensors that get set off to even little amounts, dimer salt bridges, the UV decays these salt bridges, which initiate response. You don't need large/long exposure doses for the plant to recognize UV is present. What's an enzyme? Think of it like a multiplier, you can add an enzyme to any particular biological process to vastly increase its proficiency at a particular process. Cannabis plants take blue/violet light and use it to create an enzyme called "photolayse". This allows the plant to repair UV damage done to the plant using a process called excision repair, this repairs the damage at a much much faster rate than it could by itself. Repairing 100% damage. The key is the plant needs time to build a reserve of the repair enzymes before using it. This is replicated in nature as, by midday UV levels peak, the generally cooler mornings allow lifetime to build up. The problem I encountered was dosing with 280nm lights on or 1 hour after the lights were on. Photomorphogenesis, the plant plans for the future of its growth, if the wavelength is not present during growth then how can it plan accordingly? The very presence of UV changes parameters with which the plant will grow, light itself dictates the growth pattern of the plant. Not only that it can dramatically alter the regular terpene profile of a strain in unexpected ways. Gran daddy purple grown using 280nm can triple already high terpene linalool. Linalool is terpene best known for lavender, largely responsible for its beautiful smell. Trouble sleeping you say? Having tried Durban poison from a dispensary and reading about its levels of tetrahydrocannabivarin. I've always wanted to taste the difference UV would make to such an already stand-out strain such as Durban.

Im thinking tonight’s will be the final water change given how things are looking. Probably harvesting in 7-10 days. Trichs are looking cloudy but no amber yet and still to many white pistils showing for harvest. The smell is pretty strong now. I installed a carbon filter and 6” inline fan to fix that since it was permeating the House. Within an hour the odor is completely gone. Bummer the cabinet doesn’t hide much but I understand why. The plant up front has markedly smaller buds and colas than the plant in the back still. I’m so ready to harvest and start planning my next grow. Thinking Pineapple Chunk?
