🌿🔍 Week 7: Trichome Wonderland and Final Push! 🌿🔍
Hey there! Here's your weekly update with all the exciting developments in my grow:
🌸 The Smell is Popping: Week 7 brings a delightful aroma to my grow space. The scents are becoming more pronounced and captivating. 🌬️👃
🌈 Colors Galore: The plants are showing off their vibrant colors as the flowers mature. You'll notice burpling on the leaves and the emergence of orange and red hairs on The Queen plant. LOVE IT ! 🌺🎨
💧 pH and TDS Levels: Throughout the entire flower stage, my pH has remained steady at 6.33. That's great! As for the TDS levels, they currently stand at 750ppm and 1150ppm, providing the necessary nutrients for your plants. ⚖️🌱
⏳ Flowering Progress: The Queen is proving to be a quick finisher, with only 46 days of flowering under her belt. She's looking almost ready, and it's time to grab my handy DIY microscope to examine the trichomes closely. Keep an eye for the desired level of ripeness! 🔍🌿⌛
🍪 Oreo Big Stuff: Although not as far along as The Queen, the Oreo Big Stuff will need an additional week of flowering before she reaches her peak. 🍪⚡
🌿 Zweet Og: The Zweet Og requires a bit more patience. It looks like it will need at least two more weeks before it's ready for harvest. Keep monitoring her progress and let her mature fully. 🕒👀🌿
🧐 Drying Dilemma: Unfortunately, I currently am facing a problem with drying The Queen. She's positioned on the back left side of the grow tent with a scrog, making it challenging to remove her without disturbing the others. It's a tricky situation indeed! 😬🌿🏋️♂️
🌱 Future Plans: Despite this dilemma, overall, I'm extremely happy with how things are going. No herms or other issues have arisen, which is fantastic news. I'm even planning to do another run with The Queen, as I already have six clones ready to be transitioned into flowering immediately after this run. Exciting times ahead, especially since it'll be my first time flowering clones! 🌼🌿🌿
That's all for this week's update. Happy growing, lads, and remember to stay high on positivity! If you need any assistance or have any questions, feel free to ask. 🌿💪🌿✨

Final week before harvest. Pistils have turned brown all over on one plant, but not the other. Been trying to take close-ups of trichomes with phone, but can't tell if they are clear, milky or brown. Caved in and bought a hand-held microscope with light. Beautiful ❤️ just hard as heck to stay in focus doing hand held. Not sure if I should be clipping samples to look at on a flat surface. Stopped fertilizing and flushed the more mature plant last week. The other one is showing signs of ripeness now, so flushed it to early this week.

Well that was a special day, it always make me sad in a way, but this time, I enjoyed the moment a lot.
As I wrote in a reply to a comment, things can always be better, and they are with good decisions at the right time.
These are the smallest and the biggesr plant, one seed didn't germenated and that's why I had to put a Red Gorilla.
Not sure I will try a main mlinning on auto flowering strains any more.... but I think I did it wrong, first I took the one that seemed less strong for the experiment, and having 2 other plants to compete for lights.
FIM is definetly a technique I will reuse if needed.
It's so nice to have these genetic contrasts, colors, aromas, shapes.
Many thanks for all the help you gave, precious.
19/04/2024 lower popcorn buds seems dried already! But still branches don't crack on bends. Will check again on Monday.
I finally have received, lately a portable microscope, will be more ususeful next year! But this confirms that lower buds might have need more maturity but did the choice to not over complicate by harvesting in 2 times, my indoor tent is also my drying tent, and I wouldn't have any other place to dry the upper buds separetly while allowing the remaining to harvvest with more maturity.
In general I think I might have began the Final part too early.
BTW, we smoked the popcorn bud, and it's very promissing, we liked it.

Their first Neem oil leaf drench massage. Their first fertigation or watering.
For the Og kush the third week Biobizz nutrient dose was followed. The only addition to the third week All Mix dosology was the inclusion of Alg a mic. At the above rate + Great white + bactrex. The above list of nutrients correspond to the OG KUSH Allmix schedule and doses.
Fot the amnesia haze the watering had only Bactrex, White sark and Pro symbiotic at the doses listed above. No pH was adjusted nor measured and no EC either.
*03/29 UPDATE*
Since no option given for "breaking down" each strain individually ragarding the Nutrients section I ll update the irrigation/fertigation/nutrient regimen for each week in this section. Each time something changes on the Nutrients section it ll always be the last used doses of nutrients only for the OG Kush strain. For the Amnesia only CalMag treated water will be given in alternate irrigations along with a twice a week bacteria introduction to the system. So, today
both plants got 1.8 lts of RODI CalMag treated water to .340EC with a controlled pH of 6.3. The Amnesia had a significantly higher runoff which I didn't anticipate nor understand but I'll find out why for sure.
Some light LST directional guiding was given to the plants for forming purposes and future canopy levelling.
In the Grow Hut since day one the plants are continuously enjoying the company of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia s music. They love it!
*03/30 UPDATE*
The best possible outcome regarding live phytoprotection by beneficial insects for pest control.
As of yesterday I have two unidentified tiny sliders, possibly common garden ones and as of today a Coccinellidae sp. larvae running around the canopy (check the video) Hope for many more of them sweet protectors. Neem oil along with DE has successfully helped in deterring some Gnat "congregation".
*03/31 UPDATE*
Plants are growing strong and vigorous. Some LST done and their new canopy hairdo can be seen in the pics.

The left one is still slower but coming on nicely, with the reduced bud sites I'm expecting larger buds. The right one has a lot more buds, so it should be a good comparison. The Autopots are doing their thing hassle-free watering.

A week full of surprises, some good, some bad. For the Pineapple, Skunk, and little Gorilla, a whole week of flushing to prepare them for two days of darkness, and then they will be harvested. I started flushing the Cheese at the end of the week, and the Bubblegum continues with nutrients for now. Cheese and Bubblegum are now tied together and continue to bend under the weight of the flowers. Unfortunately, the Skunk's head almost broke, but I managed to recover it. Not long to go now!

Flowering week 2 for the bigger plant, all are cuttings of Red Sky I'm growing outside but this one is stinking some crazy smells not sure how to describe burnt rubber? And pine tar?
Best I can say.
Application of L A B this week to feed the microbial communities. Application to leaf surfaces to combat pw (prevent) bud rot.

I just saw that biotabs.nl commented ... Wow thanks...
Anyway of course you are right I should reduce the stress for a while...
However there is a lot of plant matter being produced. The stem is finger thick ... Cannabis is such am amazing plant
I am not an experienced grower by the way...
The plant was just above 30cm tall now it is 41
I added some orgatrex 2ml on Tuesday. Will ad some more next week.
Some leafs show some spots ...
But please bear in mind this is growing at 28 degrees with CO2 on 1200ppm
So I expect some nutrient deficiency... As I rather have a bit too less...
A few handful of leafs had to go and I just removed the ones that showed spots.... Makes it also easier to spot new leafs with deficiency

We think one of these lady’s are being thrown in to flower by me stressing it. I topped it and I think I shouldnt have , They originally got stunted due to environment technicality difficulties / grower error. Humdifier died , power outages the works , all sorts of obstacles have taken place . But we will see this through to the end for, learning and journal purposes. Happy grows

Me parece que está sana, no sé, tengo dudas, a veces creo que está faltando alguno micronutriente.
