Aug 24: biggest of the four plants this year, and seems to be doing fine. Don’t take flash pics of photoperiods unless you’re immediately using a 730 nm light to put them into dark mode. Aug 26: have been watering in the morning with warmed water and that seems to help. Small kettle takes a while to boil but 2 L in a 5 gallon pail will warm up pretty cold water left out overnight. Lazy compost tea again today. I’ve held off for a couple weeks on the tea thinking that I didn’t want to over do N, but now’s the time for a little tea tuneup. Aug 27: all four plants look happier the day after another lazy compost tea. The yellow on the new growth has been pretty persistent on the Gelato throughout this grow, but she’s notably greener today. Now down to 14 h daylight, and still using the 730 nm far red light every night at dusk. Aug 28: still growing taller. Aug 30: this plant is get quite big for her intentionally smallish 5 gallon pot which will hopefully encourage her to finish faster.

The plant is monster even though I topper at the 6th node she is 51in tall and smell nice fantastic but requires support the plant grows very tall even before having lots of weight in the buds it requires support . today I brought them outside the tent to give them a good water down in order to drain out any excessive buildup in the soil. I will continue to update but thank you for reading have a happy grow.

Welcome to the beginning of week 7 for Karen. Thank you for stopping by! I'm counting this as the first week of flowering but she's been sending out pistils for two weeks, so I guess that weeks four and five should have been flowering weeks. Sorry about that. Surprised to be here but excited to see the next few weeks. Day 44: This girl is amazing. She took the horrendous start I gave her for the first three weeks, and just exploded. Look at her now! If you are really interested, now look at Misty and Nesia - imagine what they could do! I am really pleased with Karen here, I think she has more surprises in store. I am very glad I decided to LST or she would be towering above everything else in the tent. I have noted early Mg deficiency, as more advanced on Nesia. Correcting with foliar and re-addition of CalMag to feed. Day 44.5: Fertigated approx 1.5l. Defoliated approx 10 leaves. Slightly adjusted LST. Day 46: Fertigated 2l. Karen is very thirsty. Her roots have breached the side walls at the bottom of the pot in 360 degrees... this is the biggest root system I've had on any potted plant to date. She is stretching fast now, I think by the end of next week she will be done stretching. I must get a photo of her stem. The base is ridiculously thick. Overall Karen is shockingly good compared to expectations from the poor start. I can only imagine how big she would be. She is currently 27cm tall and at least 50cm in diameter. I count at least a dozen colas. Day 47. She is now 29cm tall and pistils are bursting forth at a phrenetic pace. I have added a comparison shot of my grow space for size reference. Day 47.5: Defoliated approx 30 fan leaves. Slightly adjusted LST. Rearranged tent and cleaned floor. I have ordered some risers to raise the pots off the floor, this will make it easier to deal with run off. While I was inspecting Karen I had a good look at her roots. The fabric pot she is in has viewing flaps (they were designed for potatoes) and I had a look... every bit of the pot is full of roots, and they're all properly pruned. I see no circulation or binding. If Karen produces at anywhere near the rate she is supposed to then she might yield as much as 150g. Day 48.5: Rapid changes. Pistils everywhere, more stretching. Karen is very thirsty. Fertigated. Added pot risers and adjusted pot. Did a little LST to separate some bunched colas a bit. Had a really good inspect of the root system. Wow this plant is a beast. Day 48.75: Fertigated 3l Day 49: Height 34cm Diameter: 60cm. End of week summary. Really big week, she is stretching quicker and quicker. Today she has developed a striking scent. I will now have to keep the tent closed so temps will rise. Day 49.5: Removed about 10 fan leaves. On reflection back over this week I think I needed to be taking a top and side photo, so I shall do that from next week.

Well it been a week since the move indoors and she is just getting accustomed to the new surroundings. Things took a couple days pause and had no growth for the first few days but she seems to have finally started to fatten up her flowers again. She is drinking about a third less water than before but maybe that will pick up some more as well since her flowers are getting bigger. She is pretty sparse in terms of vegetation so will only remove leaves on a must need basis only. Watered her this morning and she received a low dose of calmag and bloom nutrients ( King Kola) by Emerald Harvest so should see an increase in flower size shortly. Have been increasing the duration of light each night and am currently at 18/6 have been toying with the idea of going to 20/4 and beyond to get the DLI up into flowering requirements. We are stuck at 450 PPFD so I don’t think I can her too many hours of light per day. I will be watering the other two girls later today with a update for them also. Harvey Wallbanger. Miss Harvey is recovering well. Every day is better than yesterday and the past forty eight hours have been very good with her flowers starting to grow again. Trichomes and terpines have started to show up and she is going to be very sticky and have a pleasant sweet aroma. There are already fan leaves covered in trichomes and we have only just begun the process of flowering. She lost so much during the assault. She was going to be truly special. Maybe she will still be special we will see. Vanilla Fizz. Ms. Fizz, alive and well. Had us scared for a while as she was slow to respond for a couple of days, no growth after her assault and subsequent relocation took its toll on her but happy to see things have turned around for her and now even doing better than expected. Prayers help. Flowers are growing and she has a certain perkiness to her that is inspiring after all that she’s been through. She is a bushy girl and removed a fair amount of foliage and will need to do some more later on some here some there. Trichomes and terpines arrive and are in abundance for both. Everything is covered in trichomes even fan leaves and smells like my Uncle John’s vanilla French toast and my Aunt Shelly’s Guava jelly, amazing! *Update Day 68* 91 Grapes She is doing well, blooming! Her flowers have decided to start growing and swelling in good ole Chem91 fashion, kind of just stacking up upon the flower below, and dense! Orange pistils have arrived and she is going to be pretty showing off an array of colors soon enough. With her being in flower mode and needing some extra energy decided to up the lights to 50 power despite my concerns for that being too high of power. We will see. I can always turn them back down if I see a problem. I hope to see a significant increase in flowering soon! Vanilla Fizz. Ms. Fizz , we’re going to start calling her Ms. Fuzzy, she is so covered in trichomes! Bushy my goodness I have never had a plant with so much vegetation. I have seriously removed over a hundred leaves already and there will be more many more. But she is amazing in terms of smell, if you have ever smelled distant scent of a guava tree you would have an idea. Throw in just a little skunk and you nail it. She is going to be a sticky bitch to trim when the time comes. Harvey Wallbanger. Miss Harvey, has the assault behind her now and the continuing rehab has proven to be beneficial. She had such perfect form and even after all the injuries she still shows off her balance. I picture her in a massive hotel lobby in a tropical destination in a corner where the elevators are. She was so perfect. Pinkish orange hairs now accompany her beauty as she displays the deepest of green fan leaves. Trichomes encapsulate the entire flower and she has a very floral scent. She seems to be the furthest along at the time. But we will see.

Hey everybody, hope all is well👊. It's been a good week, all plants are growing extremely well. Pulled Sour girl #2 out of the box and got 21 grams(dry) of small popcorn buds and 98 grams(dry) of nice sized nuggets, SUPER HAPPY😋. Harvested Sour Girl #1 yesterday, this plant turned into a monster, it was almost 40 inches tall and right around 36 inches wide💪. I never got real big buds from this plant,but I got lots of med. sized nuggets👍. I put 77 grams of popcorn buds and 460 grams of nuggets into the tent to dry.👍 Will report on smoke and taste as soon as #1 is dry, right around 7-9 days. As for the Amesia auto, I've had it growing in the gorilla tent under the new light(xs2000), just letting it do it's thing, no topping or lst, 0 defoe and 0 food for the first 3 weeks. For the flowering cycle I fed molasses and great white,humates and bloom from Dutch Sciences, that's it.. Super easy to grow and the buds are HUGE, harvested today and I got my biggest bud so far, Main Cola 100 grams wet, HOLY SMOKES😍, couldn't believe it when I put that on the scale😶. Remember, It's 420 Somewhere

Day 74 - still growing, but not looking as healthy as I'd like. Leaves are curling downwards at the tips, and tips turning yellow/brown. I think this is a one of the classic signs of overwatering and over feeding, so have cut back nutes and watering, and will re-assess next week whether or not to go back to old schedule. Have also diluted the reservoir, so oping that a slow gradual easing will sort things out. She also looks quite stunted in growth to me - she's all of 50cm tall. The RQS data sheet advises 80 - 120, but she has been in the RQS Royal Dwarfs shadow, so perhaps needed more of the light earlier on. I was warned about overuse of the PK nute and am think I've learnt my lesson here. Fingers crossed all will be fine. On the up side, she's defintely flowering. Day 75 - might be wishful thinking, but tip curling seems to have been brought under control and looks to be recovering. Phew. Day 77 - definitely wishful thinking. Did some readings, and found ph has leapt up to 6.67, and ppm at around 2500. will ph down a little later, and continue to monitor.

This is the beginning of each week. So I flushed them and switched nutrients. They were mag deficient, nitro toxic. Not PH actually. I'm adding co2 next week after I seal the room. I think I need to back the PAR down to 800 but they are still alive and it's over half way done. How any more weeks? I thought this was a 65 day auto. Hydro in a 5 gallon pot could add up to three weeks I heard with Autos. could these go 12 weeks total?

A los 9 dias ya se veian raices por los orificios de drenaje de las macetas por lo que me decidí a trasplantarlas a maceta de 6L textiles y meterlas en el armario donde pasaran el resto de sus dias. Aumenté primero a 150 W y en cuanto estuvieron un par de dias volví a aumentar hasta los 220W. Se añadió también el humidificador para mantener una humedad relativa más alta. After 9 days, roots were already visible through the drainage holes of the pots, so I decided to transplant them into 6L fabric pots and put them in the grow tent where they would spend the rest of their days. I initially increased the lighting to 150W, and after a couple of days, I increased it again to 220W. I also added a humidifier to maintain a higher relative humidity.

Clones got transplanted into my organic recycled soil in solo cups and under the dome. Under 300w LED QB dimmed at 50% Watering with tap water. My live soil is packed with nutrient's and minerals so there’s no need to add nutes for now.

I started the 12/12 cycle the plants begin to get used to, I left the first 2 or 3 days of flowering the mh instead of 7 or 10 due to lack of time, but I see that they grow well the same with hps 600 already immediately

3rd time's a charm...Invested in a grow tent and a better light and man can you tell the difference. Week 2 pretty basic, had a little problem...I think I started the Nutes too soon...I backed off them and the plant recovered nicely.
