Update - Aug 11, SLH grew 2 inches vertically from last week. She looks healthy, just slow to grow. I trimmed off some of the smaller inner branches and leaves, as this strain does stretch a good amount in flowering, which will start in probably 2 weeks. I also cut the nutrient dosage in half, going to run this SLH at half the nutes, compared to my previous grows of this strain, just to see if there is a difference.

Day 85 - Noticed at least briefly, the tent had gotten up to about 84°, but went back down to its normal 82ish. I don't know if it has to do with slightly warmer temperatures or not. I will monitor. Was also fed today, following the Dyna-Gro feed chart with 2 tsp Bloom, and 2 tsp Mag Pro. As of this week, Foliage Pro is no longer going to be given. As I sit here and reflect on some of the earlier grow, I am starting to realize that lots of my discoloration early in the grow was likely predominantly caused by me. Not thinking, with this being a coco/peat mix, once I started feeding, it should have been every feed. I was not wanting to overfeed, so basically I fed one watering, then the next was plain water, thus essentially flushing the pot once a week and feeding once a week. Am I sure this was the cause, no, but it is the most logical thing that I can think of. I will call it 'first grow' lessons learned! Day 86 - Temp seemed to stay around 82° today, with a few hours of light left. Day 87 - She seems to be moving along fine with minimal effort on my part. Flowering seems to be the easiest part by far, but the hardest (having to wait when it gets close). Mid day update - New fan has arrived. Will be put in the tent tonight when the lights come on. Day 88 - Fed today, just over 1g with 2 tsp of Bloom and Mag Pro (per gallon). Installed the new Vivosun fan. Happy with it so far, seems a much better design to clip to the tent. Haven't used the old one as an underskirt fan just yet, but may still do so. Added a video looking at the new fan through the looking window of tent, so you can see it in action, while the tent is sucked in. You can see the leaves move from each side of the plant, then how the oscillation just perfectly fills the tent corner. I won a reverse auction from GPS, for a pack of Chinook Haze over the weekend (killer price), so I am going to start a small genetics collection I think. My original order from GYO has 1 Barneys Farm Pineapple Chunk (freebie), 2 random (freebies), 2 GYO GSC and 2 GYO Bubblegum seeds left, all of which should be feminized. The GPS seeds are regular. I really want to try some Subcool strains, like Jack the RIpper (have had the smoke and liked it) or Grape Lime Ricky (description just sounds awesome), but don't feel like paying $10 a bean for regular seeds at this point in time. The other I want to get is some White Rhino, which I might end up picking up some Nirvana White Rhino (another smoke I thoroughly enjoyed) seeds at some point as well. Day 89 - There is something peaceful about just sitting by the tent with the door open, and relaxing with the plant. NOTICE: Since a comment brought it to my attention that I never showed the lights, I added pics in the week 2 section, since that is when they went into the tent. They are QB132 v1 lights from HLG. Day 90 - Temp again hit 84° in the tent. I guess I can't worry too much. There is plenty of airflow, that that thermo is on the net, in the light, so it may be more of a radiant vs ambient temp. She isn't really showing any ill signs of it, so I will just keep plugging along. Day 91 - Fed today, 2tsp Bloom and Mag Pro (per gallon), with 140 oz given. 5 weeks of flower in the books. GYO lists this strain as a 55-63 day flower. I don't know if they base that off of time flip, or pistil formation, but I am 35 days in from time flip (I think it was about 12 days for first pistils), and I can't imagine that it will be done in 3 more weeks. I'm thinking at least 4 more, but we will see how she finishes as the weeks continue to go by. Opened the tent right before lights on today to grab a couple lights off flash on photos.

Topped on October 27. LST October 29th. Everything seems to be going good so far

Super, genial día 59😎, ya faltan 2 semanas y a cortar próxima semana lavado de raices

Buenos dias familia. De nuevo por aquí, dejo hoy la actualización de las northern light xL , buen crecimiento, tendremos que empezar a darles más comida para la 3 semana, ya que algún ejemplar marco carencia de N. Por lo demás todo bien la temperatura no suben nunca a 30 grados ni baja de los 20 y la humedad no aumenta de los 55%.

2017-09-11. Kl 12.00. Week 3 starts. I have cleaned the whole room for the new week and gave the girls water and nutes. Added videos and pics. Girl is 11 cm high. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-12. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. -------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-13. Kl 22.00. Added new video. ---------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-15. KL 10.00. New pics and video. The girl is 14 cm high. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-16. Kl 10.00. The girl is starting to grow little better now and i hope she is picking up the pace. Added new videos.

Se nota que va acelerada esta variedad que es Fast Versión gracias al cruce de una planta fotoperiodica y una planta autofloreciente, máximo le faltan 2 semanas aún.

Stop LST. Decreasing light phase because I need to harverst before holidays

One of the 5 is still growing like crazy and it's not letting the camera see her sister! I started with almost all the botanicare products and the ladies just jumped a couple inches since it's feed. They love the high temperature and an upish humidity around the 60s in RH% Considering changing light schedule in 3 weeks instead of 5, for a total of 6 weeks vegetative instead of 8 total being two months. Any comments suggestions let me know peps!

As of the afternoon of May 15th, I have begun some LST with binder clips/safety pins and some soft pipe cleaners. With the exception of the Critical Jack, I think most of the plants are showing some signs of excess Calcium and Nitrogen so I am going to take CALiMAGic out of their feeding regimen and cut the nutrients down to 1/4 strength as of this afternoon. The Dinafem Critical Jack Auto is now the tallest plant and seems to be the healthiest one of the bunch at this point, she keeps amazing me every day. The Seedsman White Widow Auto is not very tolerant to feedings and its stems & branches seem to be weaker than the others; very bushy. Both the Dinafem Industrial Plant Autoflowering CBD and the Mephisto Ripley's OG are very healthy but are growing very squat and bushy -- which made trying some LST for the first time a bit more challenging! As of the evening of May 17th, I noticed pre-flowers on both the Critical Jack and the Ripley's OG. The Critical Jack is certainly stretching out right now! The White Widow and the Industrial Plant CBD look like they should be getting pre-flowers by the end of the week. The Critical Jack has taken to being under the ViparSpectra 600 light more than the MarsHydro Mars II 1200 light -- something to keep an eye on?

- Week 6 - ----- Day 36 ----- No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow. Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away. ----- Day 37 ----- Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up. Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly. Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up. **UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used. I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research. No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one. ----- Day 38 ----- Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off. What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding). I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud. I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid. Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat. **Update** Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end. ----- Day 39 ----- Everything is great. Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again. This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil. I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is. *** Update *** Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down. Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage. I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake. That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science. Don't even get me started on names. What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf. That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!! If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy, Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake? YES, it is. Is it better? YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name. That's dumb. And you should feel bad. Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck! 99.99% of plant names are Latin. Anyways... back to the point... I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins. This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering. Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production. Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning. It's insanely obvious somethings changed. I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but: 1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up. 2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight. Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician. Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time. One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition. I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield. God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy. ----- Day 40 ----- Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L Plants are doing great. **Update** Little fun video from mid light cycle. Roughly 20-25 days left. Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful. ----- Day 41 ----- Easy day. Here's some pics. Just basically have to watch the grass grow today. ----- Day 42 ----- Big photo day, used ruler for most shots. End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow. Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off. Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7. Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks. We will see. **Update** Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

It was a good week one of my plants went into flowering at the last days of week 5 and she is showing pistils It wasent expected i thoght it vegetaites at least another week or so but we have diffrent phenoes and we should have diffrent expectations the other 2 are still in vegitaition They had a minor nitrogen toxicity i hadent grow automatic plants till now and i was giving them a little too much fertiliser bud i found out soon and flushed them so they are ok now Nothing too do more except doing LST evary day by pushing big branches away to expose the little ones to light and keeping the main stems and the little stems in same hight Thank you for your time and thanks to the growdiaries.com for letting us growers have this great experience together 💚 Keep growing🤘🏽👽

Can’t wait to see how this girl turns out she’s still in pre stretch like her sister #mimosacake and #forbiddenruntz they were the last 3 fastbuds to come into flower! 😊 going to be a great yield can already see it. Fastbuds WW always above and beyond with your genetics

Week 13 24th Nov, they are drinking a lot now.

las plantas ya abarcaron todo el metro, muchas flores y hojas nuevas, muy buenos resultados en la linea de quemanta, se nota el cambio al otro día de aplicar los productos. Hasta el momento estoy utilizando agua de la cañería que dejo reposar oxigenándola constantemente, por lo que no he controlado Ph ni EC. Riegos intercalados con agua sola y con fertilizantes, mantengo dosificación.

It was probably the hottest week of the year with a maximum of 34° C, a lot of water had to be administered, especially the Frisian Dew in the pot. On the other hand, I continue to enjoy the good appearance of the plants, with no pests, caterpillars, aphids or similar to be found so far. Even the slugs are no longer interested in the leaves, there are now so many flowers in the garden that simply taste better. As the flowering that I have read about already begins with the pre-flowering, I can say that all the plants in this report are flowering. Only the Durban Poison is by far the fastest and is already producing buds and seeds. As I had used regular seed for the Durban Poison, I fertilised it with pollen from a remaining male Durban Poison. The seed pods are already visible and look promising. The Durban Poison flowers are purple in depth, at least in my phenotype, and it doesn't need as much water as Frisian Dew and Shaman. The Shaman and Frisian Dew in the garden are showing their best side and continue to grow diligently, they need much less water than the others, probably due to roots that reach deep down. Do Durban Poison, Frisian Dew and Shaman actually have tap roots? However, I would really like all the plants to start producing flower buds now, as it is already mid-August.
