Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone, and above all, a fantastic new year of growth with monsters, plants, unicorns, and all the magical beings we love. ** This week, mostly just grow tent photos, so you don't miss any updates over the holidays. Our Nectar Drip #3 is growing beautifully and healthily. It's not a giant in terms of characteristics or technique, but it looks very interesting. It's been trimmed and will be flowering in 7-10 days. Selected Techniques - This plant will grow with a classic main lining but without the traditional lst application that spreads the plant across the pot. This is only because the plant, or rather this phenotype, has very short internodal spacing and hardens quickly, risking cracking. So, a healthy classic main lining (topping mainfolding 3 internodes topping x2 and then x4, maybe if the plant goes well). We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we've chosen is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get our growing process off to a smoother and more reliable start, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week is more than enough, so don't overdo it. We're in the early stages of the vegetative phase, but we're well-equipped with nutrients and additives. We've added: - Power Roots 1 ml/l - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Alga Grow 5 ml/l Once a week as a foliar spray: - Vita Race 5 ml/l Choose your preferred style and calculate the results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is still set to the lowest setting.

Hey guys so here is my blue cheese mutant . Finally bushing right out and the pre flower is well under way . Really looking forward seeing how the lady turns out as I have always had good results mutants in past .

Harvested at day 76, after 72h of darkness. Very good yield! 3.3 pounds of dry buds + 1 pound of trim The 2 keepers yielded 366 and 342g of premium quality smoke. Very uplifting and energizing high :) Love it!

Mejor de lo esperado. No había trabajado nunca con el banco así que no sabía exactamente que esperar pero al momento de ir avanzando en el cultivo, pude apreciar que la planta tomaba una forma hermosa e incluso en las bajas temperaturas se comportaba bastante bien. Cpe bastante recomendable incluso para cultivadores noveles

The size of the flowers seem to be a bit slower putting on weight compared to the last grow, only time will tell. Trichomes production seems to be better this time around 😃

Last one or two weeks before harvest. Trichomes are mostly milky and a few heads turn to amper. Light Power: 100% Day 102 Flower day 55 Photoshooting

Última semana antes del corte solo un riego con agua 💦

Waiting for them to fatten up now. Not much longer. Added some sidelights to help with the lowers because she's so dense. Super frosty, just like the one I did outdoor.

Week 5 on these amazing girls. They're full into the flower stage and the smells are starting to come through super strong. I've switched over to bloom nutes and they seemed to never skip a beat. All in all excited to see what the coming weeks have in store. Happy Growing.

Nourri a l'eau uniquement.

Day 27 since the time change to 12/12 hrs. Hey everyone 😃. This week the lady has developed very well 👍. Their stretch is very nice and the buds are starting to develop really well 😊. There aren't any problems, and I'm really excited to see what she'll do until next week 😍.

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

**UPDATE** I added the new time lapse I played around with a bit, nothing interesting will do another one during/after water and food during a boom phase further on! Also I think on mobile view it isn't that great the clip is all cut out, it's only visible properly on desktop view ****** Please like and follow my diary and check out my others!! Would appreciate the support🙏 Ok guys week 4 starting now and these girls have gotten all bushy and lushy!! I am just now setting up and starting to play around with time lapses lol here are my tester videos to start. Any pointers and tips would be greatly appreciated👏 Soo the girls are doing great done a little lst and neem oil applied last night for pest prevention I wanted to bend down their main stems and do a little hst but unfortunately their main stemsare waaaay to thick for it, I'll add some pics later Ok and as for feeding we are following the advanced nutrients feeding schedule I have measured EC and PPM this time but i need to go find my notes will add it into this weeks diary *update* 1.5l water per plant EC 1.3 PPM 650 ............. Ok that's it for now I've got another time lapse running so I'll add that one later today too!

She grew well this week! 14cm vertical growth! I've not done a thing to her apart from feed/water and turn her pot 180 degrees through the week.

🍬 she finicky to dail in hope in the future I can really dail her in and get pheno a buds of the gushers cake lookin perfect pheno b of the gushers cake looks good tho

Black cherry gushers got trashed because she had mold. i took a clone cutting tho i will do a diary just for her once i get her to root. Gorilla cookies is making a great comeback!!

Germ Week1 (Day 1 Feb24) Stilton and Tropical Berry done directly into a riot cube sat in a bed of biobizz light mix in a solo cup 2 fruity widow seeds sat into a wet paper towel in a ziploc bag Feb 27 - no real move from the widow's in the bag, so i moved one of them into a riot cube Mar 1 - action from stilton, but the others not really doing much. Mar 2 -widow 2 is dead. went to the shop and got myself a barney's farm critical kush, into a paper towel What's the plan here? Hoping for 4 different strains to give me 4 different reactions to the same conditions and maybe I'll find something that likes the space i've set up I've never done direct to substrate before, but seems to work fine. Doing the kush in a bowl just because it feels more comfortable to me, but likely not a big deal What are we doing different this time? Try to watch and maintain temp and humidity as well as possible. In seedling I'll look to mist the riot cube once per day, in the morning, with a tiny bit of water As soon as the first set of leaves touches the edge of the cup i'll transfer to final pot and hopefully have some micro-r to help the transition Looking to maintain as little LED headroom as possible, to try and get the nodes really close Aiming to top at node 3 once I see node 6 just start to pop out Feed once per week and water once per week.

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds I’m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or what’s up but pretty bummed about this run so far😅😅 hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasn’t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in it’s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

Well. Week 12, I expected that I will be harvesting at this point however girls are FAR behind the schedule so we gonna wait :) the lest one looks awesome, very very frosty and buds will be probably really huge at the end. The right one is unfortunatelly very far behind. Not really sure what happened, if it's strain or my guess is a light leak. I have never experienced this issue before so it's hard to say if is it just gonna be just few weeks later or it's gonna foxtail and buds will be small. I hope for the first option because they have very good potential, they just need to get some more density. Also the right plant is a little bit underfeeded as I was away on holiday and couldnt controll the watering. I hope no more than 4 weeks till the end. A bit dissapointing, not gonna lie.
