Getting some ambers on the buds now, so not too much longer. The buds just keep getting tighter and more dense so I'm not complaining.

The plants are growing like and hell and some plants more than others. I therefore have to super-crop the plants, which is a method promoted by SOMA from SOMA-Seeds. I take the stem of the plant at appr. 20 cm under the top, directly above an internode, and squeeze it hard between my fingers. So hard that I can feel the fibers brake inside the stem. I squeeze in a circle around the whole stem and then bend the stem sidewards until the whole top of the plant is bent 90 degrees to the side or even points downwards. This way I dont have to top the plants and save the big top buds. The stem will heal and the plant will continue to grow, just at a lower height. I use this method since many years and it works GREAT. The BIO-TABs nutrients still do thier job VERY WELL, all plants have a healthy green color. The SANlight EVO4-120 LED-lamps are still hung at 75 cm distance from the top of the pants and do an OUTSTANDING JOB.

Alls well havent had any hiccups yet. I may of mixed soil a little heavy at start of grow so ran 3 gal of plan ph water to get rid of any build up. The smell in tent is a blueberry/sweet candy smell with a slight citrus lingering in back. Starting giving sticky bandit everyother water. Each girl is drinking about 1 gal 1 1/2 every 3 days or so. CQ is def gonna need some support on side branches soon.

Week 2: Moving the Twins Outside After a slow start, I decided to move the twins outside and plant them together in a 5-gallon pot. Space is limited, and with how slowly they’ve been growing, they’re not getting their own pots this time. I’ve had slow starters before, and they don’t usually yield much, so I’m keeping my expectations low. Since these two have been particularly slow, they’re sharing a single outdoor pot. The medium I used is a mix of 50% coco, 30% soil, and 20% perlite—this should provide good drainage and aeration. I used Great White from Plant Revolution during the transplant. The taproots on both seedlings were barely visible, which made me nervous—especially with autos, since they can be sensitive to transplanting. But it had to be done. Now, they’re settling into their new outdoor setup, and I’ll be watching closely to see how they respond. Current Setup: Medium: 50% coco, 30% soil, 20% perlite (now in a 5-gallon outdoor pot) Transplant: Used Great White when transplanting Taproots: Barely visible on both seedlings Lights: Moved outdoors Nutrients: Biobizz Fish Mix for now; Big Plant Science later if needed

These buds are all dense, frosty, and the smells are just a very sweet thick aroma, of sugary sweet fruits, berries, and citrus, harvested on 10/30/21 these ladies spent 3 weeks in the dry tent at 65F and 60 % RH, then another week in the curing totes, before they were spun and cleaned - I am just blown away with the quality of this harvest!

Day 79 - Another week passes, not much to post, normal feeding, 1000 ppm 6.2 PH, normal lights, the girls are fattening up nicely...... 😎 Day 84 - some pics/vids.... pics of a Test Bud (ready for curing)......doing some experimentation..... read up about drying and curing, but i don't have a set method, so test abit..... never grown bud before..... 👍 my tent is really small, i think 50x120x160 or something... and it's tight in there, i have no other source of herb, so i'm going to start getting into the smaller one, and focus the light on the larger one..... i've been trimming and drying all during the grow.... there's really only enough room for the big one, and it's really squishy in the tent........ 😎

This girl is a late bloomer, but now she is starting to reach my other girls. The plant stopped to grow and now she is pointing all her energies to to flowers. The smell it's very strange ( in a positive way). I have done some lollipopping because the plant is very bushy with 12-13 main colas, and a lot of side branches diddn't see the sunlight so i chopped them. Also I've found some unwanted guests, but outdoor it's a common thing. The first 5 weeks, I sprayed a mix of water and neem oil and it all went very good without any parasite, but when the plants started flowering I obviously stopped giving them neem oil, and now I founs sometimes insects, but nothing to bad, I nedd to wait another 3-4 weeks and then I'll harvest it :)

😲😳 wow!!! Is this strain something to behold, absolutely gorgeous to look at, such a exotic smell it's like a sweet cream cake with lemon frosting topped with fresh cracked pepper all while surrounded by fresh cut pine aroma. I have 2 phenotypes I have dubbed the Stinker and Sister Stretchy. The stinker suffered a severe lock out at the beginning of flower so she's at least 2 weeks behind. Sister stretchy is begging to be harvested. I still have almost another week of flowering according to the breeder but :(, after my routine inspection of her trichomes on the caylx' and buds not the sugar leaves I found myself looking at a forest of tricomes that went from 80%cloudy with remaining amber. Today's inspection with a 60× jewelers loop revealed a surprising half of the trichomes cloudy with the rest amber. So it is any day now 😃. Can't wait because it's gonna be some fire ass bud.

Everything’s good here! RQS did a great job with this strain. And I keep enjoying the smoke from my last growth. Vaped at 180C it will make you sociable, taking your head and providing you great time while doing your stuff. Increasing the temperature at 190C or even 200C it will make you stick to the sofa for hours, while making you feel totally relaxed and stoned. Cheers!

Beginning of week... I went ahead and gave the medium a little bit of a flush today. Finally figured that its gonna take 3L to get a decent amount of runoff.. Seems to dry out pretty fast too.. Might need to water daily.. For sure every other day, if not. I know that I shouldn't water the entire medium when she's this young because the roots dont go out that much, but the medium was a bitch to get wet.. Literally took about a week.. But she is doing great.. Her stems are giving out purples! I know seedlings tend to do that.. But I've never seen damnnear all the stems purple. I can't really get a pic of it cuz my camera/phone sucks.. But trust me, it's there lol. Gorgeous plant! Mid week.. So I've been watering once daily.. One day I will give nutes and the next just plain pH'd water.. So basically just water, feed, water, feed.. This is to avoid the dreaded salt build-ups! Today was just water but the runoff came out at like 700 PPM.. I never even put that much in! This shouldnt be an issue.. I need a better watering can. Just been using 1L bottles woth a screw on sprinkler head.. Its not a bad idea.. Especially for smaller grows.. But I'm going to get a 1 gallon watering can with a sprinkler head.. It should help me be able to spread the water out more evenly across the entire medium. But that 1L bottle with the srinkler cap is perfect for my other nano grow I got going ("*TC* created my own feminized strain" diary). But going to Home Depot today to get that new watering can.. I like the idea of the sprayer jugs.. But those things take like an hour to use up a gallon.. I love spending time with my girls, but damn! Lol.. But as for the lady.. She is doing great! Not sure why the leaves almost ALWAYS get kinda wavy.. I think I read that it MAY have something to do with calcium deficiency.. But I dont understand how that would be possible. I keep the pH at 6.3 (even the runoff comes out a 6.3) and I know I'm putting PLENTY of CALiMAGic.. maybe it's just the way these plants grow.. Its only the first 2 or 3 sets of leaves that do it.. Just weirds me out a little.. She is beginning to sprout some little branches! So excited! I can't wait to bend her over and start some LST!!! She is very happy and super healthy! By the end of this week the next set of leaves should be pretty big and I'm sure branches will be shootin out too! So happy! 😊 Next day... So she still looks great.. No burns, no deficiencies.. But I went ahead and just gave a little dose of Silica and a little CalMag.. Cuz the PPM was coming out at 700 PPM yesterday.. It was 6.3 pH and 300 PPM going in.. But the runoff still came out at 700 PPM.. Wtf.. I need to get a better watering can.. So I can at least start running a gallon thru the medium.. I'm gonna just leave it for now, I suppose. Gonna try and get a watering can tonight... Hopefully.. But she is still growing nicely and looking nice and green, so I guess I can't complain too much. Almost end of week.. I'm starting to think I need to raise my light up or turn the power down a bit.. My plants almost always stay very short and stout to where it makes it difficult to begin LST.. Its obviously too early to be trying it now.. But just something I've been thinking lately.. Help save some electricity too.. Oh yeah, so I got a new Mars Hydro TS 1000 and I noticed that some of the reds (not deep reds) are a little dim.. Almost as dim as the deep reds.. There should only be 2 deep reds, but at 50% power it looks like at least 5 or 6 of the reds are a little dull or not as bright as the others.. At 100% its kinda hard to see but that's expected cuz its bright as fuck lol.. Idk.. I could just be tripping.. But it shouldnt hurt anything.. I hope. But as for the girly.. She's doing great.. Just ordered some FloraKleen to help with major salt build-ups and to help with the pre-harvest flush.. But so far, not major salt build-ups.. Nothing I had to put her into the sink and go crazy with the shower head for at least lol.. But she's happy and perfectly healthy as far as I can tell.. I love growing cannabis!!! It's soothing to the soul.. Being one with nature.. I've even sprouted a cantaloupe in my tent lol.. Gonna see if I can keep it in there and harvest some fruit! I wanna get some morning glory and have it running up the tent and then when its time to flower a photoperiod, it will produce some gorgeous flowers along with the cannabis flower.. Just a thought I've had.. Will be updating with pics tomorrow! Cant wait till next week! That's when the exploding growth happens!!! End of week.. Today was just a plain pH'd water day.. Going in: 6.2 pH at 240 PPM.. Runoff: 6.0 pH at 500 PPM.. With my luck, the moment I was finished, Amazon dropped off the FloraKleen (and some trellis netting).. I dont think FloraKleen is meant to be used in between feedings like that tho.. Unless the runoff PPM is just outrageous, I'm not gonna use the FloraKleen.. But it is a great addition to the Flora family! Lol.. Anyways.. I noticed 2 pistils/calyxes (preflower) already.. They are both at the same node, but opposite sides of the main stem.. I hope she still has at least 2 more weeks of veg before flowering.. 3 weeks would be perfect and ideal.. But I can work with 2.. But she is happy.. So I'm happy! On to the next!!!...

Alrighty growmies 👌🏻 so I’ve had a bit of a week set back due to issues, but back on track, the heat wave has definitely given a few girls a bit of a hard time not being able to attend but none the less, lifted the light again, trying to get on top of this PH fluctuating I’m having again using these stupid PH drops as my PH pen also keep jumping. Besides that I’ve managed to make a new home for the clones and got them under a couple UFO LEDs so that will house them for a few more weeks and al bring out the 600w HPS for them, but these runtz since being repotted have not taking nicely to it at all even using dynomyco so again hopefully by Friday they should be past that stage if not on flowering either way going to be a bomb scare when these taller plants start to stretch might have to bring out the net for sure 🤣🤙🏻 if all goes wrong at least I have my clones for back ups, keep eyes open for the incoming fire thou 🔥

Contando ya los días.. Prácticamente está todo hecho y sólo queda esperar. Ya sólo estoy regando con agua pura con el ph regulado. Estoy haciendo un lavado de raíces de dos semanas ya que busco el sabor lo más limpio posible. El clima del exterior está ayudando mucho y he podido mantener la humedad en los parámetros correctos. Espero cortarlas sobre el finde que viene Muy contento con lo que veo, la calidad promete 🤩

7/3/22 I was a little rushed today, and didn’t have the chance to take any new pics for todays log entry. 🤷 It’s not like I’m not going to add a bunch more photos later in the week. This week we’re starting with the Mid-Bloom, step 3 nutrients on our feed chart. I mixed two separate gallons to feed my 4 girls as usual. Each plant received half a gallon of water with the following: CALiMAGic - 2 ml FloraMicro - 4.7 ml FloraGro - 3.8 ml FloraBloom - 8.5 ml Floralicious Plus - 2 ml Liquid KoolBloom - 2 ml Each of the 2 gallons had a pH of 6.4, and wasn’t adjusted. My tap water has been exceptional lately! Each of the plants had plenty of runoff with the following pH level: #1 & #3 - 5.9. #2 - 6.1. #4 - 5.8 My girls are super tall, and have bodes all over the place. They are all developing nice pistils everywhere, and should each yield quite a bit. I’m looking forward to watching them mature! Happy 4th of July to all of you in the USA 🇺🇸! Independence Day!! Happy growing everyone! 7/5/22 These 4 Ladies are going to be the death of me, I swear! I know you all HAVE to be sick of reading about their growth, but damn! These bitches could be super models! I last measured them on 6/29/22, and was astounded then by their growth. Now, I’m just blown away. Since 6/29/22: #1 has grown 12 inches, and is now 55 inches tall. #2 has grown 11.5 inches, and is now 54 inches tall. #3 - 12.5 inches, now 49 inches tall. #4 - 14.5 inches, now 51.5 inches tall. I had to do some mild LST today. I tied a bunch of the branches on #1 & #2 today. Loosely, but closer in in order to improve stability, and open up space in my tent. Some of their branches have become so long that they are being pulled apart by gravity. I used some rubber coated, malleable metal poles to tie loose circles around branches, and then wrap the other end around the other branches on the opposite side. I also defoliated #1 & #2. It’s not pretty, but it seemed to work. I need to do the same to the other two, but time, and supplies didn’t cooperate. Enough about the maintenance. Let’s get to the feeding. We’re keeping with the mid-bloom nutrients mixed into a pair of gallons full of water. The pH of both gallons measured at 6.4. #1&2 share 1 gallon, and #3&4 share the other. Each gave back plenty of runoff with the following pH levels. #1 - 5.9 #2 - 6.1 #3 - 6.0 #4 - 5.8 The tent was 83F, with humidity at 65%. I’m hoping the adjusted fan helps with the humidity, and I also hope my girls react well to being tied up. Happy growing everyone! 7/7/22 Today, Stella’s Cuatro ended up getting the same treatment as their mother. Each of them were the recipient of some serious High Stress Training (HST). All of them have super long branches that were making them almost unmanageable, so I got to taping and bending branches today until nearly all of their branches had been bent over 90*. Sorry for the asterisk, but I didn’t have a degree icon to use. Bending their branches made space in the tent to some degree as well. They don’t look so crowded anymore, but later on I’m going to have the same issues that I’m having with their mother now. Branch weight! It seems silly to complain about all the time, but damn they are all huge plants! I know that some of you may be thinking that you’d probably rather stay away from this cultivar, but that would be a mistake. I bitch, and moan a lot about these plants, but regardless of the headaches they give me, they are still absolutely wonderful plants. They grow strong and healthy regardless of what I do to them. They develop ginormous buds, and the effects of this cultivar are still my all time favorite. They are resilient giants that produce a lot of bud! The first cultivar I ever grew was this one, DarkStar, and 1 plant produced almost half a pound of top shelf bud after everything was dried and jarred up. I’m looking forward to another wonderful haul from these 4, their mother, and another 2 younger siblings.” Each plant received 1/2 gallon of solution with a pH of 6.5. Each has sufficient runoff except #3. She didn’t have any runoff. The others were as follows: #1 & 4 - 5.8 #2 - 6.0. The tent was 83.3F, and humidity was 56%. Life is good. Happy growing everyone!

Día 6 de diciembre ,tenemos una amanecida de gran niebla que se mantuvo en la mañana con ello una alta temperatura en la noche del cultivo amaneciendo este a 90% de humedad Después del encendido de la luminaria y colocar dos pequeños humificadores de usar y tirar..en dos horas ,la humedad se mantiene bien. 55% En el día de antes de ayer se le aplicó un buen riego. Día 7 Humedad en el cultivo de un 60% Hoy le e metido otro riego con todos sus nutrientes de vegetación y metiéndole un poco de floración La EC 1100 El ph 6 Un ventilador dejó de ser oscilante para quedarse fijo.. hahaha meteré otro en unos días más grande y oscilante .

I am a day early but I am in the flower room and figured I would go ahead and update. The girls are still pushing along. Sweet smell, very sweet with a bit of berry at this stage. Branches have been leaning for awhile now, but I came into a room with a couple bent over but luckily not broken. Who am I kidding... I would have done a quick dry and enjoyed an early taste. Week 7 is done at lights out and I will be 1 week from the early side of Barney's flowering window. I will be checking trichomes regularly from here on out looking for the signal that these girls are done. I am uploading a quick video. I hope it turns out as good as it looks on my phone.. You know that you want to click that like button.. 😇 Edit: Been dropping night time temps and the dark colors are coming out. More so in the lowers but the tops are coming along.
