SUNDAY 5/19: I accidentally left my UV timer in the "ON" position all night and half of the next day...fearing sudden death, I have moved everybody that was almost ready into the dark tent, including the two Candesias that had already been flushed twice, and will start harvesting them tomorrow..maximum UVB stress for about 20 hours...if it works out that they are even more potent than expected without turning brown overnight, I'll claim it was "intentional," and purport it as an "advanced technique" ๐Ÿ˜‰ MONDAY: The big one (Candesia #2) still looks fine after the mega-UVB incident, so she's still sitting in the dark tent. I flipped on the green light and went into the tent for a sniff test on everybody. #2 smells more like an Amnesia than a Candy Cane. Ima kill her tomorrow and let her hang dry. The small one with polyploidy (Candesia #1) in the dark tent, also looked fine, but to keep my workload smaller tomorrow, I went ahead and harvested her today. She smells and looks more Amnesia. She was wet-trimmed and is in a drying basket. The other two (and the mystery plant) are still in the big tent under lights. I will probably start flushing them tomorrow..but maybe they will just get watered..kinda slow to cloudy all the way up. TUESDAY: I harvested Candesia #2 today and hung her to dry in the dark tent. She got more of the Candy Cane genetics, but her aroma is special. Candesia #3 got flushed for the first time today and moved directly below the UVB. I lowered the lights by several inches and increased the lights to 20/4 for their last week in the "sunshine." WEDNESDAY: I took a few photos today of the living after trimming a few harvested plants. The high temp in the tent is now just 82f, and it drops to 68-70f while it's dark I added some 450nm blue panels to try and "winterize" the environment a little more. Candesia #3 has the aroma of Candy Cane, but is really kind of a unique color palette,..not like the Amnesia or Candy Cane parents. The mystery plant is definitely a Candesia.. the aroma and bud color/shape is unmistakably that of her Amnesia Auto mother. She's Candesia #4..also known as "Pipsqueak", due to her diminutive stature. THURSDAY: Today I realized that a plant I thought was a Candy Cane is actually a Candesia! She's now known as Candesia #5...she's the one that I had to remove the main stalk which had already FIM quadrupled..butchered...sad day. She's fattened up a little bit, but is still kinda puny. However, she's more resinous than any of the other 4.๐Ÿ‘ FRIDAY: I'd say they've got about an average of 20-25% amber trichs now..second flush tomorrow.๐Ÿ˜€ SATURDAY: I flushed them for the last time today with a few gallons of ph'd spring water only. I took some photos, and it will likely be their last photo session until they've been harvested. I'm seeing a lot of UV damage to the leaves from the 20 hour blast I accidentally gave them. They'll be fine, but it's just gonna make the trim job a little harder.

Transplant is done into 10L pots! 9 pots are filled with a living soil mix, enriched with Lurpe Farmers Mix, Insect Frass, and other organic amendments The rest are in a lighter soil mix, so I can supplement them with Biobizz nutrien This run is experimental ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ€” I want to compare how the two approaches perform. If all goes well, in about 10 days weโ€™ll flip to flowering ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒž. So far, the girls are looking strong and healthy! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Here I am again with an exciting update on my amazing plant's growth during this crucial week of flowering!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘ฝ The plant continues to thrive thanks to Plagron's exceptional nutrient line, displaying healthy buds and robust growth that continues to amaze me week after week. In fact, in just seven days, it is incredible to notice how the buds have grown in volume and the resin has increased. The TrollMaster "TENT-X" environmental control system once again proves to be fundamental in my setup, allowing me to maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels for the plants. This stability is critical to growing success and plant health. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ˜Ž The MEDIC GROW MINI-SUN 2 240W LED light continues to provide perfect light conditions for my plants, ensuring they were receiving the right amount of light for maximum growth potential. Viewing detailed temperature, humidity and VPD graphs gives me valuable information about the growing environment, allowing me to optimize conditions and create the best environment for plants to thrive. I shared a video showing the live graph of temperature, humidity and VPD of the entire week of growth, demonstrating the effectiveness of these technologies in ensuring an optimal growing environment for plants. As I enter my eighth week of flowering, I'm excited about the new obstacles and discoveries that await me in my grow room. With the support of Plagron nutrients and the precise control system offered by TrollMaster, I am confident that I will achieve exceptional harvest quality. I appreciate your continued support on this journey of growth and exploration. I continue to prepare for another successful week in the world of plant breeding! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿš€

Dried her for a total of 10 days. Give her a rough trim nothing fancy, just enough to put her in glass jars. The final dry weigh was 83grams after smoking a couple of grams. Her smoke gives me an energy high that keep me motivated complete my chores. The taste is citrus and fruity. Good grow decent weight and final product.

FBT2308 is growing great under the Medic Grow Mini Sun-2. She is heavy bulking now. Looks like she will get some great colas on her. She had a solution change today, and new air stone installed. I changed the solution as I had a big spike in ph. Which caused a little spotting. So had to fix that with new nutrition. Nothing else to report at this time.

The plant grows very vigorously and relentlessly. He developed a large central top, which has an intoxicating scent of fruit. If you touch it, it's full of resin. Another week or two then it will be cut and hung, I gave the last dose of fertilizer knows now only water

Guys i swear itโ€™s like my girls are awakened after a few changes and i love to share with who interested about it. One of them is put something under your fabric pots in outdoor growing to keep your bottom of your pot a little bit wet and donโ€™t worry about water sitting in there because there will be no water after just a few hours. There are 2 other things and i will answer to who ask only! Believe me you want to know about this

This is one of the best looking plants I have grown yet. I wish I had performed some LST on it but overall it is massive and has no issues with development or nutrient deficiencies. Roots have taken over the res and it looks like old ladyโ€™s hair inside the nutrient solution. Air stone is providing oxygen to the submerged roots so no signs of issues there. About two weeks left on this grow and then onto the next SweetZZ by RQS ๐Ÿ‘

Day 34 sheโ€™s a little droopy and upset with me. She would have preferred to be watered last night. Oh well she will perk up in 15 mins. Looking beautiful and started to flower now she got defoliated a tad bit sheโ€™s looking wonderful. Very happy with how sheโ€™s chugging along.

April 26, 2024 Day 71 It's a new week and the start of late flower. It was also cleaning day. Both reservoirs have been cleaned out and are freshly loaded with new water. This week we are focusing on watering and nutrients. I may start to drop the dose until flush, over this week and the next. The light power will also be gradually dropped down over the next 2 weeks. Not much this week, I think I'll drop the DLI down to 43 mol/mยฒ/d in the middle of the week. Next week I'll drop it down to 38 mol/mยฒ/d. It all depends on what the plants look like. The plants are getting ready to hunker down and finish up. Both have decent sized buds and just need to finish swelling. I'd say another 2 weeks maybe? Flushing will start at some point over the next 2 weeks as well. Flushing won't be much of a big deal as it's just cleaning the reservoirs and running a week of Flawless Finish. The environment is changing a bit as well. I dropped the day temp down to 75ยฐ and the night temps to 65ยฐ or lower. Not cold enough to cause stress, but enough to get some purple I hope. The humidity is sitting at 47% and I'll be leaving it there unless somehow I can get it to go lower. For now it's pretty solid at 47% and everything looks great, so no need to worry. I'll be taking trichome pics every few days. One pic for each plant. No point in loading up the whole photo gallery with even more daily pics. Plus, the progression of trichomes isn't fast enough to really notice daily. So every 3 days should be fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2ยฐ RH: 47.7% VPD: 1.49 kPa April 27, 2024 Nothing happening today. Both ladies were inspected with no issues. I snipped a single leaf off of Banana Purple Punch B. Just one. Blocking bud sites. Banana Purple Punch A has some massive buds. About the size of golf balls. Maybe a bit smaller. They are still swelling and have a good 2 weeks left. Pistils are still mostly white, so that's a good sign for larger buds and more trichomes. Banana Purple Punch B is looking wonderful as ever. She doesn't seem to be suffering any issues with nutrient burn unlike her sister plant. She's perfectly healthy and has very nice bud production. The buds aren't quite as big as Banana Purple Punch A, but still nice and sizeable. The nutrient burn seems to have stopped for Banana Purple Punch A. So that's good. It should be perfectly fine now. Lighting is staying the same for the next couple of days. Although, I may keep it the same for the rest of the week. The environment is excellent now. It's raining today and the humidity is still at 47%. I did get it down to 44% for most of the afternoon yesterday, so I may be able to keep it down after the rain stops. Or just wait for the afternoon and see what happens. Either way, the humidity is now at 47% and the temp is at 76.8ยฐ. The VPD is at 1.57 kPa. A tiny bit high, but still well within range. Last night's temp was a little high at 69ยฐ. I'll have to drop the temp lower again to get that 65ยฐ sweet spot. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.4ยฐ RH: 45.7% VPD: 1.55 kPa April 28, 2024 Not much to do today. I mixed a new batch of nutrients for both plants. The only difference is that I cut the Overdrive in half down to 2 ml/gal. Neither plant needs it, but now it's mixed and ready to go. I may end up filling the reservoirs tonight as it stands. Or later this afternoon. I don't think they will last til tomorrow morning. Both plants are putting off a wonderful aroma. I honestly can't describe it. Like sweet and kind of a hint of banana and a bit heady. Trichome production is picking up quickly. The pistils are starting to turn orange as well. They are definitely in the late flowering stage. I think I'll start dropping the nutrients for the next watering. And I'll drop the DLI down to 40 mol/mยฒ/d tomorrow I think. Not much else to say about nutrients or lighting, so moving on to the environment. It's a warm humid day out and raining off and on. My whole environment is wonky, with humidity being at 57% and the temp at 77ยฐ. I turned the AC on about an hour ago and the temp went down to 75ยฐ, and humidity up to 60%. I think I'll crank the AC all the way down. And hopefully get rid of the humidity with the temp being a bit lower than perfect. Update: I ended up adding about a half gallon of plain water to both reservoirs. Just Incase I have nutrient lockout or something. They should go through that by tomorrow afternoon. Maybe late evening. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6ยฐ RH: 52.8% VPD: 1.39 kPa April 29, 2024 No watering today. I'm still waiting for the plain water work it's way through. However, I did drop the light power. Both ladies look great. Big buds, great scent and nice color. I'm not seeing any fade yet, but the nutrient burn is still there. I hope it will fix itself with the plain water. And then maybe fading will start. These two need a good 2 weeks or so before harvest. The lighting, as I said, was changed today. I dropped the power down to 70% to get as close as possible to 40 mol/mยฒ/d. I may have to drop it another 10%. I'm not too sure. I'll check the DLI again when I'm more awake. (I'm finally on my second cup of coffee. Lol) Looks good though. Just around where I want it to be. But there are a lot of spots where the DLI is a bit high at 43 mol/mยฒ/d. The tallest tops are also kind of high at 45 mol/mยฒ/d. Again, I'll double check on a couple hours, but it should be fine. The environment is wonky again today. The temp is fine, but the humidity is still high at 60% and I don't see a way to drop it again. Not with the current weather. Hopefully I can get it down with some heat. The AC method did not work. Well, it maybe will work tonight. I'll be dropping that bad boy down to 59ยฐ tonight and hopefully it will do what I need it to. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2ยฐ RH: 59.8% VPD: 1.15 kPa April 30, 2024 Watering day. The reservoirs were both nearly empty and there was just enough space for a full gallon in each one. It's the normal nutrient dose with Overdrive being at 2 ml/gal. These two plants are looking mighty fine. Excellent bud swelling and trichome production. I'm definitely going to be wet trimming them instead of my normal dry trim. I may leave the bods on the branches and do a partial wet trim, or I guess mostly wet trim. They smell great! Very strong aroma now. I swear they smell like artificial grape. I can't describe it any other way. Grape and pungent. Awesome. So far the light seems to be fine. No reaching or showing any signs of lack of lighting. They look pretty happy. Although, Banana Purple Punch A is a bit sad from nutrient burn. Banana Purple Punch B however didn't seem to have much of a problem with the burn. The environment is still pretty wonky. High humidity again. I can control the temp pretty easily, but the humidity is another issue. It's currently sitting at 56% and I'm holding the temp at 76ยฐ. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5ยฐ RH: 57.0% VPD: 1.26 kPa May 1, 2024 Not a whole lot going on today. No water needed, no light changes. I rotated both ladies 180ยฐ so now they are getting light on other sides. I'll leave them like this for the rest of the grow I think. Banana Purple Punch A actually fits better in the new position. Less wall touching and about the same neighboring plant touching. I also removed 3 leaves. Ones that were misshapen from being crushed against the tent walls. Banana Purple Punch B seems to fit a little better in the new position, mostly because of her sister plant. More room on the outside and a little less room inside. No leaves were removed today. I'll reserve that for the last 2 days of the grow cycle. Then I'll do a massive defoliation and then a wet trim. It's humid here right now and I need the space. Otherwise I'd stick with dry trimming. But I can't hold up the tent for 3 more weeks. I have other plants getting ready to be planted in their final containers. Like a week for that, I might be able to squeeze a week and a half, but that's it. They will have a space, but the main tent is where they will need to be. Not a 2x2 dry tent. I'll work it how I need to I guess. Anyway, both ladies look great! Trichome production is coming along nicely as well. They are very smelly now and I love it. They are also still packing on weight I think. Not a ton, but the buds are clearly getting denser now that some of the pistils are starting to turn orange. I'd say another 2 weeks on these two. As I said, the lighting hasn't changed at all. Not for another few days to a week. Then it will have another power drop. Until then, we are staying at a DLI of 40 mol/mยฒ/d. It's roughly 38 mol/mยฒ/d on the outer part of the canopy. The environment is STILL wonky. I cannot for the life of me get that damned humidity down at all. Not with a dehumidifier, not with the heat cranked, not with the AC cranked. I'll try my big dehumidifier in my room, but the humidity is like 49% and frankly I'd rather the room humidity stay there. Much easier to breathe. However, the humidity in the tent is suffering at 59% while the temp is hanging out still at 76ยฐ Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2ยฐ RH: 56.1% VPD: 1.27 kPa May 2, 2024 Not a lot going on today. No watering needed, no trimming, nothing. I found a broken bud on Banana Purple Punch A. It must have been from when it was against the wall, or too close to the other plants and got stuck on a branch while I was rotating. Oh well. It's a lower bud, so not huge. It's also the last day of the week and that means new videos! For the rest of the grow, I'll be making weekly videos of the individual plants. So that will.be this week and the next 2 weeks or so. Banana Purple Punch A looks great aside from that one broken bud. Her buds are fat and thick. Super dense from what I can see. I would like to note that the fade hasn't started yet, so we still have that 2 weeks left. Unless it starts in the next day or 2, I'll be banking on 2 weeks. Banana Purple Punch B is still compact as ever, but her buds are getting fatter everyday and of all the plants in the tent, she has done the best with the nutrients. Very little burn and didn't seem to be bothered by it. Maybe I did something early on to have such a small plant, but still. I think I can bank on 2 oz from each plant. Maybe 3 oz. It's really nothing compared to previous grows, but as I said before, as long as it's fire, I'm happy. Trichome production on both plants is fantastic. They are loaded from top to bottom. And building more and more everyday. There's still plenty of time left for there 2 as well. Most of the trichomes are clear with about 20% being cloudy and sparsely amber. That's another sign that they need another couple of weeks. Maybe slightly less. I increased the light power yesterday back up to 80%. I think I was a bit early on the intensity drop, so I'll drop it again in a few days I think. Around mid week coming up. Now we are running a DLI of 43 mol/mยฒ/d inside and 40 mol/mยฒ/d on the outside. The environment kinda fixed itself, but not to the ideal climate. It's still at 55% humidity. Better than 60%, but still not good enough. It needs to be below 50%. However, I can still control the temp and I have it at 74.5ยฐ. I'll turn it up a bit and see if I can clear out the last 5% of the humidity. Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.7ยฐ RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.24 kPa Update: I added a couple test videos to see if they would upload. Success!

Sheโ€™s maturing kinda quickly if I didnโ€™t say before I think her long flower was kind of on my part for not checking my timer ensuring 12/12 was set but all is well now sheโ€™s thriving n fattening up now!!! Should be fairly decent yield, we shall see!
