Came back on New Years Day to be greeted by plentiful crystal laden flowers and incredibly nice terpene smell. Very glad they did well through the 12 day dry spell, now they can be watered good and well till harvest. One last minor defoliation, then I’ll stick to tying leaves out of the way. Also will begin incorporating the uvb bulbs for about 3 hrs on per light cycle, at about 12” distance from each plant. Cheers all SideNote: I’ve just obtained a load of new seeds from about a dozen strains I chose for high levels of thc, yield, flavor, and overall quality genetics so expect some good things to come from my page within the next few months. Thanks for looking

================================================================================= CRIB NOTES - I'M USING A LIGHT CYCLE OF 6 ON 2 OFF THIS SHOULD KEEP THE LADIES FROM STRETCHING AND GROW VERY COMPACT. Many growers advocate the use of an 18/6 light schedule (18 hours on, 6 hours off) while plants are in Veg. However, this may not be the most beneficial light schedule. Switching to a series of 6/2 (6 hours on, 2 hours off) light patterns may increase plant growth while also potentially creating a more stable controlled environment. While this new schedule may sound risky, it actually comes with a number of benefits. Cannabis is a “short-day plant,” meaning that it will only flower when exposed to long periods of darkness and short periods of light. For cannabis to flower, there must be at least 12 hours of continuous darkness. This allows for the use of a series of shorter light schedules while the plant is in Veg – as long as the plant receives less than 12 hours of continuous darkness, it will stay in Veg. BENEFITS OF A 6/2 LIGHT SCHEDULE There is a lot of research that suggests that cannabis plants can only process a certain amount of light per day. After that level has been reached, the plant can no longer absorb more light, and any additional light is essentially wasted. By breaking the light cycle into multiple 6 hour periods, the plant is able to rest and process the light it has received. When the lights come back on 2 hours later, the plant will be ready to process additional light, allowing you to get the most plant growth out of every minute your lights are on. At a biological level, cannabis’s inability to grow more once it has received a certain amount of light can be attributed to the way the plant processes carbon dioxide (CO2). A majority of the mass accumulated in cannabis is associated with the amount of CO2 found inside plant cells. While under light, cannabis tries to prevent CO2 from leaving its cells by cutting off transpiration. However, this prevents new CO2 from entering into the cell, blocking new growth. When the lights are turned off, and no photosynthesis is occurring, the plant is able to absorb new CO2 into its cells. Additionally, when plants are exposed to 18 straight hours of intense light, they become stressed. Signs of stress – droopy or curled leaves – will usually appear towards the end of the light cycle. While some stress can be beneficial to plant growth, too much stress can cause harm to your plants and prevent them from reaching maximum growth potential. Giving plants 6 hours of intense light at a time not only puts less stress on the plants, it also spread out the load on your cooling system over a longer period of time. The cooling system works the hardest when lights are on. By turning off the lights for 2 hours at a time throughout the day, your cooling system will get a break between light cycles, allowing the room to be cooled to desired temperatures before the lights come back on. With a properly sized cooling system, this benefit will be minimized as the system will be designed to handle the heat load throughout the entire light cycle. While there are many approaches to Veg light cycles for cannabis, a 6/2 schedule allows for maximum plant growth. A 6/2 schedule allows plants to process more intense light, prevents plants from becoming stressed and puts less stress on your cooling system. It’s a win all around. Give your plants a break every 2 hours and you’ll be amazed at the results. ================================================================================= Day 1 October 1st - 2018 - The 3 Seeds are in germination at the present. The seeds were soaked in reverse osmosis water for 16 Hr. then transferred to a paper towel. DAY 2 October 2nd - 2018 - 2 out of the 3 seeds have germinated. the first 2 will be put into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt. Day 2 October 2nd - 2018 1:00 Pm. All 3 seeds planted into hydrofarm soilless seed starters using Revers Osmosis water and placed under 3 grolux flor 45 watt Day 3 October 3rd - 2018 - 9:00 Am. 2 ladies have popped out there little heads. Day 4 October 4th - 2018- 9:30 Am Seedlings are doing fine. All 3 seeds have germinated. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 ROW being installed. 2:30 Pm ROW installed. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Seedlings are getting first set of single serrated leaves. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 The tent is setup and running R.O.W. Day 5 October 5th - 2018 Washed all Hydroton Clay Pellets in ROW. NO DETERGENTS. Rinse and Rinse again. Using R.O.W. so the medium has a practically no Ph. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 - Transferred the best 2 seedlings to tent under Veg. 1000 Watt L.E.D. Each bucket contains 19 liters of R.O.W. no nutrients added. This will continue for the next 2-3 weeks depending on growth. Day 6 October 6th - 2018 Seedlings put under Light Cycle of 6 On 2 Off Ect. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - Seedlings looking good. Seems everything is fine on 6 on 2 off light cycle. Day 7 October 7th - 2018 - The 3rd seed germinated is looking very healthy. Transplanted it from the hydro seed starter to a 1 gallon planter with soil. Placed this in between the 2 main plants in the D.W.C. & used R.O.W.

Plants are taking off but started showing signs of stress not for sure what the issue it is but since I’ve noticed I moved the light up and have only been giving clean water phed to around 6.5 I’m watching new growth to seen if the stress has lightened up

9/22 Week 10 update... finally Looks good but going to add more Phos due to some red stems showing upping to 3ml/g These pics caused my husband to do a serious defoliation, 😏 Changed nuets to lower Bloom 10% increase PK by adding Peak need to use it up. 9/23 Vid up 9/24 After looking at things this morning have decided to start moving the FFT9 and FFT11 to flush. Begin slowly cutting Bloom nuets tomorrow for those two strains so we can start flush at week's end. 9/25 Feed is changing as we move them into flush. Lower Bloom A/B to 5/5 raised Koolbloom to 5ml Peak to 5ml 9/26 Like things where they are for now hold here till flush Vid/Pic

Strain Name: Stilton Special F1 Genetic heritage - Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3 Strain behaviour - Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough.The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. Size - 50 - 70 cm Structure - Medium height but bushy Flower Density - 9/10 Indica/Sativa - 65/35 Cycle Time - 65 to 70 days from sprout Yield - 90 to 140 grams as a single plant Best Method for overall high yield - 9-12 per 1,2m x 1,2m sq in 10-15 Liter pots (Soil) Aroma - Very strong, Cheesey/fruity/sour/spicey/ with a dash of coffee. Taste - Dank berries Effect - Good hybrid powerful but balanced effect Medicinal Benefits - TBA Best Grown - Indoor/Greenhouse Cannabinoids - TBA Extract information - Ideal extract candidate - High in resin, oil and terps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-10-16. Week 8 day 54 from germination. She is 41 cm tall and very leafy. She have around 30 bud tops and i hope she will start to produce big buds now and stop growing leafs like crazy. I start to give max dose of nutes now.

Helloo, planties are roughtly 3 week into vegetative growth. Into second week our cat snucked into the tent and being the motivated gardener she is, dug out quick one and speedy chille, we put them both back into place gave planties some water, and with time they recovered, speedy chille got most stress, but being photoperiod, recovered slowly aswell, still the shortest and very loved. :) so everythings good Royal kush has the strongest smell of them all, few leafs we defoliated we grind in our hard and smell a deep green canna scent. Northen lights is the leader in hight since begining When planties grew 5 tops we topped them, began doing LST and a bit of defoliation, bended stems away from the lamp and taking off leaf that blocks light reaching tops. The stems hardened and remind me now more of a tree

My good friend convinced me that trimming and training are paramount, so I've started with slowly defoliating the Creme de la Chems to try and get to lollipop status. They're just starting to flower, so I figured I could get away with a more aggressive approach. Because I failed to train these girls early, I'm stuck dealing with a little rain forest. What I've tried to do is trace each flower topped stalk up from the base, and trim away from the bottom up. 1/3 of the way up per day. I've now got a thick canopy, and I've been trying to just use leaf tucking and manual manipulation every few hours in order to keep the different height flowering sites in direct light. These ladies have really been thriving, and it's been such a joy to watch them grow! I like having two plants in one net pot letting them grow wild, but I think in my next grow I'll keep it to one per pot and train better from the start. As for the Super Orange Haze ... not as good. I attempted to pull the main branch over to train her to some empty space, but I was too aggressive and ended up popping her head off :(. First grow, first disaster. I took the head and stripped her/coated in clonex and pushed her into some potting soil just to see what would happen. There hasn't been enough foliage to really make me want to do any trimming, I've just tried to tie the stalks off to train them apart. I'm really sad about my mistake decapitation, but she seems to be doing well still. She's probably week 2 of flower based on others' journals. I changed the water midway through the week (which is when the videos were taken). I drained most of the water out, but roots prevented me from getting the last few gallons. When I refilled the res with RO, I measured the PPM at around 200. I have to assume that remaining nutrient was completely unbalanced leftovers, so feeding will have to just have to be experimental. My approach has been to give around 1:1 Gro vs Bloom and Micro every 2-3 days when I refill with RO. I want to build my PPM up to 1000, but slowly so that I can detect if I hit a ceiling first. It's hard to measure how much food is in the water based on PPM. CalMag is what drives it mostly, so I've been using CalMag as a sort of measuring stick. I keep the CalMag pegged to the Bloom food, but I know it's only good for initial dosing. I can't assume the plants are eating CalMag in the same proportion as anything else :(. If anyone has a line on cheap lab testing ... hit me up. I'd love to be able to test a few hundred samples at a time for NPK and trace so that I can tell (even if post facto) what was going on.

The seeds that I thought I found were a false alarm, looked a lot like seeds built up and was super hard in texture but this week it popped and it was just some weird foxtailing I guess. Trichomes are about 20% clear 60-70% milky and very few ember. Very certain that I will chop her next week, this time for real. This grow is a rollercoaster of emotions, that is for sure. Values are average of the day.

Man I’m jus at amazed the ladies are doing great. I thought for sure if it wast the heat or the humidity I would not be getting the results I’m seeing these ladies have been put to the rest environmentally. They’ve dealt with some pretty extreme conditions at times but I’ve been pretty good at catching and controlling what I can ........so far so good. I’m guessing the black cream has another week maybe more really want her to fatten up some more and finish out strong her leaves are fading so she’s depleting her nutrients which means better smoke 💨 The Green Poison is turning out to be the Auto I said she was ..... a fucking beast 🗣️...she has about a good 3 or 4 weeks left to go and she’s already trichomed out And smells like a lemon diesel... Wish I had more space but shid gotta play the hand your dealt Loving the ladies though hoping we can finish out strong

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla Zkittlez Auto de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, es una autofloreciente que es normalita de cultivar, tiene un periodo corto de crecimiento y de floración igual no es largo, o igual tendría que haberla dejado alguna semana más no entiendo bien. En cuanto a la alimentación , pues la aplique una vez por semana y a sido suficiente, se a comportado bien en interior, la flor pues no es muy prieta porque no deja de ser una autofloreciente, pero es una flor que va repleta de tricomas. El periodo de luz pues de principio a fin a 18 horas, fue suficiente para completar el ciclo de vida como esperaba.

Week 8 Flower My favourite part; Flush flush flusshhhhh 🚽🌊💦 This is the time where you will see the most swelling and ripening of the buds, and also it's winter colours in its leaves and possibly even flowers (strain dependent) as the plant cannibalizes itself of all of its stored nutrients. Many strains will fade into a bright yellow, but a lot of strains can turn to many stunning colours such as purple, orange, red or even black! Purpling can also occur on your flowers throughout flush, which only adds to it's bag appeal! I believe it's extremely important to include a flush period at the end of each cycle. I don't necessarily mean you have to flush copious amounts of water through them like I do, but the end goal is to have a cannibalised plant before harvesting, regardless of your system, methods or medium. Having a proper flush is what gives you the clean burning, smooth smoke in the end. If many nutrients are left in the flowers, it can create a hard black ash that can spark as you toke 💥😷 and would be quite toxic for you to smoke. I start by pouring just enough water through the pot to get a decent run off in the catch tray below. I then take a note of the ppm/EC and pH of that run off to see how she's doing, and then adjust the pH of the rest of the water to be flushed if required. This girl's run off was a little high, at approx 6.2-6.5pH so I adjusted the rest of the flush water to around 5.5-5.6pH. This should bring it back down a bit more, although it doesn't really matter so much later in flush as she's only feeding on herself anyway, not what is in her pot. Once adjusted, I pour around 30ltr through her pot to reduce the salt contents in the coco. I then take another reading of her last bit of run off in the catch tray and make a note. I find that flushing a large amount of water through the coco speeds up the process because it has taken away many more nutrients from the coco than with not doing so. This gives the plant no choice but to instantly start to cannabilize on the only nutrients available; it's own. Once they're fading fast I'll simply feed them enough for a decent run off as I know there's nothing left in the coco. The amount of buds on this girl is absolutely insane! She's a monster! She's swelling up but still getting taller, with her tallest cola almost touching the reflector now. I'm definitely glad I supported her! I'm going for a 3+ week flush as I can't take her any further with plants in veg waiting for spaces, so hopefully she'll ripen up! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🦊

This weeks update is just basically a photo/video dump! At the start of the week I did some lst and a tiny bit of defoliating and the growth just seemed to burst, I noticed they seemed to began to flower! So I went ahead and introduced the net to the set up and the I’m stoked with the way they filled this tent right out!! These cream manderin are truly fast growing buds. I also started adding Big Buds Liquid to the feeding schedule and so far, so good. At this point I’ll just be uploading photos every Tuesday/Wednesday 🤙🏻🤙🏻

10-15 days to go, depending on plant. Some of them starting to show mature trichomes. Going full dose of all nutrients this week. After 2 aply of neem, there is no more black flys!!
