Were getting there! Plants looking beautiful and swelling up. Two questions below! Thanks for reading and happy growing.

03MAY - woke up to a melted fan. Did a quick fix and hooked my intake fan to it, until I am able to replace that fan. Seems to be working for the time being. Updated pics to follow throughout the week. 04MAY - did a little bit of defoliation, think I did good, still debating on doing more, but I'll wait until she recovers from this one. 05MAY - Woke up late and didn't have time to check water this morning, so they are a little dehydrated, watered them, but other than that seem to be doing ok.

10/6 Didn't feed enough to get any runoff this time. I'm pretty sure they are ok for now, next time I'll start with water test the runoff and feed. Had to move the lights up a bit and I'm losing leaves. That is my fault for not being proactive. But it could be the strain. Fed them a bit stronger this time I put EC was 1.2 and pH was 6.3. this all started out per 1gal but the EC was 1.4 so I cut it with another 1l2 gallon. That final EC is what matters anyway. I will discontinue the grow big after this week. Tiger bloom should have enough. We only have about 3 weeks left. So the next feeding will be the last big one, then I'll lower it, then just water. I'll feed up to the last week so they can really fatten up on those last 2 weeks. I'll let them sit in the dark for 2 days before I chop. In the same tent I'll dry them in. So that means I'll need add a scrubber to that tent so they don't stink up the neighborhood. Good thing I think about that already. I have a little 2x3x3 tent I can dry them in. 10/8 I didn't have time to do a water push and feed so I just gave each 2cups of plain water to get em through till the next day. 10/9 I pushed about 2700ml through each slowly to generate runoff. Vermiculite is not your friend with this type growing, but I have finally totally reworked the soil into an inert substrate that only holds the roots. All organic material and most likely any trave of the herd is all but gone. Again, you need to go back to the beginning to learn how I fucked all that up and made a switch from living to basic hydro in the first few weeks. It had to be done due to the use of unprocessed soil. I knew better but thought the soil was older. Anyhow... I had suspected my ex was high because I've not been able to produce runoff. In this soil mix it only starts once you approach the 3 liter mark so after 2 light feedings and due to high EC before I wanted to push some water through for peace of mind and then feed. Results: BBA EC: 1.6, pH: 6.6 BCA EC: 1.2 pH: 6.6 The BBa was always a bit higher but these #'s are exactly what I wanted. I didn't feed yet. I'm going to let them dry for 2 days and then I'll feed. I believe that when the substrate is soaked it dilutes the nutrient solution and I want to stop any chance of channeling. I'll give each about 1200 to 1800ml of solution @ EC 1.2 -1.4 probably the last good feeding. It's light still but I'm still treading lightly with the autos. 10/10 Still too wet to feed, they should be good tomorrow. 10/11 Fed each about 2400ml : Tiger bloom: 12.5ml/gal Calmag: 3ml/gal EC: 1.4, pH: 6.3 no runoff. Still having to use the AC even though it's in the 50s and 60s out. It's working ok now. The issue is the damn dehumidifier. Really heats up the damn room. I feel like it will still work even if I exhoust all that hot air into another room. It's still pulling moisture out of the air, so.... I have to try it. It literally keeps that little room in the mid to upper 70's all by itself.

Week 9 mix pack… a bit late but because I was away so I did a video on Monday 30 (first one) before going and a video this Friday 3 (second one) after coming back. On Monday I also harvested the Guava RF3 because she looked ripe and was forward looking most of the time compared to the others. I’m gonna harvest the to Apple strudel RF3 next (beginning of week 10 probably) and last the Banana purple punch RF3 (end of week 10 probably. Papaya cookies week 8 really stepped up in this day’s with bigger and denser buds.

Week 5 of flower! Did some defoliation and some more supercropping to bring the height down, as I measured 70k lux at the canopy (a little too much). Buds are stacking nicely now, it's on cruise control from here on out. Just gonna let the plant do its thing.

And she’s up and drying! Massive yield, piney earthy terps— perfect structure. Just a great plant all around! More to come

Went from 450w to 150w blue for a week due to heat and too much height gain. Weather got cold so I put the 450w red back in as they seem to be thickening up. Feminising was very easy on the ones I chose, I chose only three that had thicker faster flowering and more THC but will cross with the more sativa dominant ones.

She is an absolute beauty. Love her fat, purple buds. She is smelling very sweet

Day 86 12/05/2021- Week 5 of flower almost done hopefully by the end of the month. Went out on a trip and GoPro never turn on for the last two days bummer but will upload time lapse videos daily. Today the lady got nutrients as well. Day 89 12/08/2021- Today the lady got water, really hoping to see buds starting to fatten up. Day 91 12/10/2021- So today the lady got a special treat, freshly collected rain water. She is just doing her thing and making those buds. I have also finally put the spider farmer SF-2000 at 100%. Also end of another flowering week, see you guys next week. --------Have a good one friends and stay high--------

Had problem since last week with PH. Was down and staying down below 5.0. Managed to sort it and keep it higher for a while to make up the cal mag. Everything seems to have levelled out for our for now. GSC and GG showing stighs of early buds.

little defoliation

When i came back from vacation the plants seemed to have grown a lot in 10 days. They really started budding. Measured the height of each plant but only plant 4 seemed to have grown 2 cm probably because of the main cola which grew bigger. Decided to defoliate the bottom till middle height leaves which where quite yellow and crispy. Some of them where keeping the buds from getting light. Also i gave them a little nutrients just to see how they react and i think they might need a little. I think they need atleast 2 more weeks but in a few days i will receive my magnifying loupe and then will have a good look at the trichomes how far progress is done. Update 21-07: unfortunately i observed bud rot in plant 1 and 3. At plant 1 it smelled quite bad and had to remove the whole top cola and just in case 2 little cola's beneath the top one. At plant 3 a bud under the main cola was looking a bit brownish and the small leaves attached to it where easy to pull out. So i removed just that cola. Hope the bud rot doesn't jump to the other buds but the coming weather is looking hot and dry. But rot can really happen overnight to become noticeable. See the last pics in the album of this week.

Woche 13 Die Pflanze ist für diese Zeit schon weit entwickelt, es wird voraussichtlich die letzte Woche in der dem Gießwasser noch Nährstoffe zugesetzt werden. Tag 87 Sie hat noch ordentlich Durst, die Blüten werden dicker und dicker evt. benötigt sie doch noch ein paar Tage länger zusatzlich etwas Dünger.

2 weeks max then its time, the colours are fading now. This plant is in an autopot i only fill up the reservoir. I do see she drinks way less now. After this water i feed with only ripen in it lol. I cant believe how easy this was i havent touched the plant once or waterings

Ladies are looking good, I’m liking not having to pull tarps to have flower this early…. But the quality isn’t quite there. My dad is flowering gdp auto and runts auto indoors. They are a lot smaller but a lot prettier. I’m sure my temps have been the root of all my problems. Wishing the buds would fill out, they are getting runny and larfy. Well I have a few more seeds for next year but I’m thinking autos are not for me. I have started to see some botryis and have been cutting it out. Mainly seeing mold on the two hermies, but also seen some aphids on one of the hermies I got mad and cut it down! Then I poured gas on the infested bud and burned it…. Growing is not for the faint hearted;)

Let’s see , humidity is an issue . It’s higher than I’d like it to be . I added drip pans & two different miniature forms of dehumidifiers one electronic and the other passive . I need recommendations on affordable dehumidifiers before I run into mold issues . After breaking the apical dominance there was one or two issues but it gave me all the more admiration for the genetics to take a beating and still remain unbothered & WHOLE . A main top was bound too tightly & broke in half trying to pull itself back up . It remained broken and unnoticed for atleast 3 days before I saw the damage and taped it . She is now almost fully scarred over & healed . Vertical growth was decent this week I wouldn’t describe it as fast or explosive. Still watering to activate the dry amendments I can tell they haven’t began taking it up quite yet. Holy shit do they stink when not premixed into the soil before planting ! Just monitoring & trying to get as much dense continuous resin packed bud stacked up in there .

Última semana de alimentación amigos ya empezaré a hacer lavados de raíces para no cortar tan tarde. En Estos días seguirá engordando un poco y me interesa. Pero más me interesa enfocarme en lo que va a ser el próximo cultivo y ponerme a ello lo antes posible. Así que vamos a ver, un abrazo

Check out this beautiful plant and the trichome production this week. Stunning! I cleaned up the bottom one more time. I will be top dressing this next week and it will be the last before harvest.
