Another nice week of beautiful weather. Have been on total cruise control this week on a little water here and there. Did some topping and super cropping. Not much at all to report the fast buds are in full flower and doing well. Happy growing folks🤙🏻

DAY 56 flowering: Hi all and welcome to any new visitors too. We are at the near end point now with this 1st run of the viparspectra xs1500. It has been a very pleasant experience and also a humbling one too. I never expected the performance it has proven and initially thought I would struggle to find a practical way of incorporating it into my set up and to see what it had got to offer. Deciding to go the route I have was more driven by the lights abilities to perform wat better than I anticipated. The 5 seedlings soon became 5 big ladies that would have been impossible to squeeze under the 2x2 flowering coverage They did however, get an amazing start right up to flowering beginning before I had to choose who stayed under the xs1500. The 2 that I mainly diary for the lights ability are the focus of the journal but I have to include a little on the other strains due to their initial support from the light and to also include the Gorilla cookies as they are amazing plants. They are both so close to ready now and sadly one of the mains has been hit with an little bud rot from its density. The buds smell so candy sweet now too. I will be keeping a very vigilant eye on these now. Grandaddys mimosa had continued her swelling from using the #Shogun Dragon force and is a perfect example of how the product works in the final 2 weeks of flowering , when usually they are fading out to finish. The buds have doubled in girth with an absolutely solid feel to them too . The light has helped create some very hard buds. No signs of whisky popcorn at all and each stack is a solid spike of flowering plant. For such a squat girl, she is so impressive. She smells so fruity with a hint of citrus to her and she is engulfing all the leaves that had been poking out previously. I think she will be a surprise yield next week !. The Northern lights girls are both doing really well too with the #2 mutant starting to ripen up finally now. She is still way taller than her sister but has sone long node gaps. #1 is totally different, she is a spiked monster compared and her colas are taking on a nice pale orange colour as they ripen. I do think she will go another week before being ready to consider harvest. She is still so fresh looking in a lot of places that I dont want to rush her at all. The light has managed to penetrate deep enough into the plant to create long spiked colas with no issues down low in the canopy with whispy popcorn to mention either. This is a very positive point to mention as some l.e.d do not get the penetration needed to do more than create a top canopy with poor light reaching deeper and not supplying the par they need. This light does not have that issue by a long shot. It penetrates like "Dirk diggler" and reaches all those important ladies parts !!!.... I am most impressed by the mimosa so far and as a 1st gen cross auto of a mimosa lemon Male sacks and a random multi strain seeding from its pollen release , I have ended up with a good amount of crossed autos from trusted and stable strains. It can be fun growing these out and so far this is the 3rd from the batch that I have successfully run. Aside from the benefits of the end products we get , the journey we go on can be an amazing and eye openening experience. If you start to investigate how these plants really live , love and die and how they use the network of available systems to communicate and build our much loved bud factories , you will find it hard to climb out of that rabbit hole . Finding out that fungi is not the man everyone wants to party with but IS a complex communication system used in nature to meet the needs of the whole forest/fauna in unison is life changing !!!!!. Be well growmies. See you on the next update... UPDATE UPDATE###UPDATE####UPDATE The Gorilla cookies have reached their end !!. At day 57, they are now going into a 48hr dark period before harvesting . I did have a couple of bud rot issues in one or two buds due to the density of their growth. I am hoping to keepnot at bay during the low and slow dry after trimming wet this time. I will update their yield ect once they finish. Pics dont do them justice and they smell so sweet. Thanks fast buds.

Nitrogen is low and I caught it late. Cant correct it much now due to it being in its second week of flower. They are fairly happy otherwise. We will see how this goes.

Esta es una de las semanas mas bonita del cultivo si llegas sin carencias ni excesos obviamente. Las plantas empiezan a definir el cogollo. La parte izquierda se a definido como un fenotipo xativo mas alto y con muchas ramas. En cambio el lado derecho a sacado un fenotipo mucho mas indico con plantas mas cortas y que seguro generaran un gran central. La temperatura se mantiene entre 25 y 26 grados. Ya hemos empezado a anadirle co2 a 1000 ppm.

As I did the flushing in day 70 I was watching the trichomes and on day 87 I could see 25-35% amber so I decided to cut it. I cut the whole plant on the base and hang the whole plant to dry. For this reason I will update my findings later when it gets dry and trimmed about yield and numbers. So far really happy with the results. It will probably be the champs of this run yielding nicely 👍🏼.

Die 3 Mädels duften langsam, die Harzdrüsen Produktion ist im vollen gange. Ich muss nun peinlich genau auf die Temperatur achten, da die Lampe schon nicht mehr höher geht und es sonst zu Verbrennungen kommt. Noch sehen die Spitzen gut aus, aber ich habe schon häufiger so eine Art bleiche gegen Ende der Blüte erlebt. Bislang ist dies wohl mein aufwändigster Grow, die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit konstant zu halten ist Momentan durch wechselhaft Wetter hier äußerst schwierig. Zum ich im selben Raum auf noch die Cookie Gelato anbauen, diese ist jedoch in der Wachstumsphase und braucht es natürlich etwas feuchter und Wärme. Ja war ein blöde Idee 2 Grows mit so verschiedenen Bedingungen gleichzeitig anzubauen 😏 Aber ulkig Weise ist es mir bisher immer, naja fast immer , durch die verücktesten Konstruktionen die ideale Anbaubedinungen für den jeweiligen Grow zu schaffen, im selben Raum, und zwar mit Alu Lüftungschläuchen 😎

Bffff familia, esta cepa me tiene atónito zambezaseeds a vuelto hacer de las suyas y lograron una variedad con una floración bastante rápida, y unos cogollos bastante compactos, formación indica en el aspecto de las hojas y su morfología. Controlamos los parámetros por encima de 20 grados y por debajo de 27,5 grados y no dejamos subir la humedad por encima de 45%. Contando por supuesto con un sistema anti olores no solo en la extracción si no trabajando con ozono en la puerta de salida se la habitación.

week intel: its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Gave it 3 days dark and dry. Cut it today to hang and quick dry. Probably get 2oz. Sadly the lowers are very soft. One of the main reasons iI hate indica grows. Very bushy even trimming fan leaves lowers still have no light and inners in the middle too. She looks like a bitch to trim hopefully i can use my silicone brush. Next time Ill ask for their most sativa meow strain.

(12/09-12/15, days 42 to 48) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 5 Notes & Observations: Topped both plants and starved for 11 days. The idea being that I want the roots to search out new space and expose more root growth to the nutes in the soil to better help in the growth after the training rather than just the recovery. I made a decision on P2 and decided to keep both sides for a total of 8 colas on each plant since but topping day P2 was looking way better and showing nice re-growth. I recognize that growth will be stunted on the damaged side, but I want to see by how much in case I do it again in the future. Neither plant broke on this last training and bot seem in good health. I am however monitoring a possible calcium deficit and treating with CaliMagic. - inspected defoliated fan leaves and discovered Spider Mites - treated with Captain Jack's Deadbug concentrate mixed into 1 cup of purified water - sprayed tops and bottoms of leaves on all plants inside that tent. Will have to retreat again in 3 days, and possibly again after that. ***from label*** LAWNS AND ORNAMENTALS: Use Site Pests Controlled Comments outdoor ornamentals (herbaceous and woody plants) emerald ash borer gall midges leaf feeding beetles leafminers sawfly larvae spider mites1 thrips worms, including loopers, webworms, bagworms, gypsy moth, and tent caterpillars Uniformly spray foliage to point of runoff. Uniform coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces is essential for effective insect control. Apply when spider mites are first observed prior to webbing and before mite populations have become severe. Reapply after 7 to 10 days (3 to 5 days in greenhouses and structures that can be altered to be closed or open) to contact newly hatched nymphs and repeat until infestation is managed. Uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces is critical. VPD and PPFD: This week I will hold the humidity in the tent to about 70-75% and temps will be monitored for 70- 75F daytime and 66-71F overnight. Im adjusting my lights and look to control them at ~400ppfd max. Meaning slight increase over last week but mostly just growth increase. Feed & Monitor: ***All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add-in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids) TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely. The ppm and ratios of each feed will be listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 2. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5.*** Day 44 (last feed was day 34) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, both P1 and P2 weighed 11lbs 2oz before feed. Each plant got 1.5 gallon of purified water with 362ppm Veg Mix concentrate (recipe on week 2) and 106ppm Bloom Mix concentrate (recipe on week 5). The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.1ph to combat the original higher runoff ph from the previous runoff feed tests. After feed, both P1 and P2 weighed 19lbs 2oz after feed this time (P1 was 22lbs 3oz and P2 weighed 21lbs 14oz after last feed). I got about 8cups of runoff on both P1 and P2 this time (both plants gave up 5 cups of runoff last feed). Runoff for P1 ph was 6.3 with 906ppm (6.45 with 1170ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.4 with 814ppm 6.45 with 1230ppm last feed). Top soil tested at: P1 6.23,6.21,6.26,6.27 for an avg of 6.24 (6.327 avg after last feed) and P2 tested at 6.4,6.39,6.25,6.46 avg 6.37 (6.402avg after last feed) - next feed will be 6.3ph as Im liking where the ph is now and I dont see any issues from feed or training.

She's flying along and looking healthy probably close to the end of stretching but we'll see. The shogun nutrients are amazing and seem to work incredible in coco, she is very thirsty too getting through around 4 litres per day

Una semana bastante plácida, ya no fue necesario preocuparme por atar los cogollos, las dejé tal cual estaban .
