Les têtes commencent tous doucement à se former
Je les palisse petit à petit quand je vois que ça se rapproche trop de la lampe, j’ai du déjà en palisser 5/6

Flushing begins for the Og kush and blueberry. All three plants are incredibly sticky, stanky, dense and heavy! The OG Kush plants are blowing my mind, I'm amazed at how much they have fattened up the last week.
The super lemon haze starts week 7 and is also sticky and stanky, she's also starting to pack on weight and density.

So the 3rd week started. I did realize that the plants started growing faster and on Sunday I did transform them to a bigger hydroponic pot. They were entering the vegetative stage. I know I should have not done it to the autoflowering so I should have planted it to the finisher pot but I did not know because it is my first time so I kept reading and receiving information. I stopped spraying the plants because I saw one yellow dot and I checked it can be toxicity or fungee so better not to play but still use it for the soil. I constantly raised up the quantity of the water so started adding 140 ml a day for two plants, 70ml 2 times morning, evening. So one plant receives 35 ml in the morning and the same amount in the evening, approximately 12 hours difference. I use two lamps 60W each with a dual head so (30W 2 times each plant.) The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe started smelling not strong but the smell was weak, only if you go closer or in the grow tent. I started also adding bat guano-acacia honey and water mix. (1-liter water 1 tablespoon bat guano, plus very good quality acacia honey mix 1 tablespoon). The Gelato Cookie D'ohpe also started growing faster, at the beginning it was growing slower but now, it has changed. I also set the light schedule 20 hours on and 4 hours off with two-timer. Ventilation started I use a small USB fan which is able to go 17 hours with a 5000mpah power bank so I bought 2 when one is off the second is used and the other is charged. Pretty much it works almost 24/0. I do fertilize on Monday, Wednesday, Friday with that bat guano mix giving the same amount of water like if it was normal. 140 ml a day (70ml morning, 70ml evening). Other days the same quantity of clean water. I never used tap water I buy still water from the shop.

So, I threw out Fruit Diesel and Bruce Banner because of insufficient development.
I still made a mistake, it is better to plant 4 plants under such a lamp, but not 6.
I installed a dehumidifier, the humidity reaches 60% - no more. All the same, in a hot climate air conditioning to reduce humidity is not possible.

📆 Semana 10
Nos acercamos al final, y la Runtz está dejando ver todo su potencial.
Los tricomas están mayormente lechosos, con algunos con tonos ámbar, indicando que estamos a punto de alcanzar el punto ideal para la cosecha.
Las flores están perfectamente densas y cubiertas de una resina espectacular, y el aroma se ha intensificado: una mezcla de frutas dulces con toques de terroso que ya es inconfundible. El proceso de lavado de raíces va viento en popa, y es clave para asegurar una cosecha limpia y sabrosa.
Todo esto bajo el foco TS-1000 de Mars Hydro, que sigue dándole una luz excelente a las plantas. La nutrición ha hecho su trabajo, ayudando a que los cogollos lleguen a su máxima expresión.
La cosecha está muy cerca, ¡y estoy emocionado con lo que se viene!
¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

So I started getting this weird deficiency several weeks ago, but now it seems to have taken over the entire plant. I know that RO water has no CalMag, but I upped the CaliMagic dose and its just gotten worse. Going to have to consult with some of my growmies to see whats going on.

2/17:
I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈
2/18:
I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz.
The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days.
I've reached the ceiling again with my lights and the tall one is still stretching a little bit. I sure hate to have to supercrop her too...my garden is looking so wild and untamed already...😳
2/19:
Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍
2/20:
Day 31 of flower...the taller plant grew another couple of inches overnight! Damnit!😟 After emptying the closet (again) today and supercropping more branches (and some of the same branches again), a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out...
These two plants couldn't be more different.
One twisted-leaf 2-footer that started budding up in the first week of flower, and one beautiful 4-footer that's been very slow to flower..
The structure on the taller/sativa-looking plant is very promising, though...many long colas, and stacking up well...👌
I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶
I'm still hoping that the big one will hurry the fuck up and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point...
I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day.
2/21:
I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time.
2/22:
The tall one grew another inch...i threatened to bind her up like one of Silky_Smooth's plants if she didn't stop growing immediately.
If she doesn't start budding up with serious urgency, she's gonna piss me off...my Spring auto grow must not be postponed!
2/23:
I ordered some terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..

With an average THC content of 24%-26% and some of her phenos having observed to contain as much as 30%, Gorilla Glue is an incredibly potent but at the same time still quite balanced smoke. Her powerful effect is incredibly relaxing, just the right thing for stress relief or if you want a superb smoke to help you sleep at night. But her smoke doesn’t just make for awesome chilling at night time, she’ll also give a happy and uplifting feeling at the same time. Because of Gorilla Glue’s potency, she has also become a favourite strain for medicinal users who want a potent herb that can help them with pain relief, depression, sleeping troubles and many other health conditions.
With her flavour that blends earthy and sweet notes with hints of lemon and woody pine, Gorilla Glue makes for a superbly tasting smoke on top of her powerful effect.

9 plants, 5 different strains, 3 different seed banks.
So yeah, some background info.. I was going to go 6 girls in 15l pots at first for even distribution but fucked up the germination process sticking them seeds eagerly straight to soil and some didn't germinate and some took almost two weeks to push above soil so I popped a few more and here we are. Oldest ones are about 6-7weeks old and the rest are around 3-4weeks.. not sure about exact days since I wasn't planning on running a diary but then again figured it could be helpful IF(when) running into problems. Been mainlining/topping/defoliating/binding when necessary to keep them at pretty much the same height before flipping the switch. First photos shown here are from the last session of high stress training.. now we're just playing the waiting game for them to recover and then it's off to flowering time baby!
This week is the first time dem bitches have been getting the full recommended dosage of Bio-Bizz nutrients I still have available (bought the "try-pack" for best bang for buck.) Gonna run out of root-juice and bio-heaven after next watering but think that's ay-ok since we're going to flowering anyways and in the last grows haven't really seen any notable difference using the insanely expensive bio-heaven. Fucked up topping few plants taking "wrong" nodes being way too drunk but we'll see how it goes. Also start of this week is the first day I hanged Viparspectra V900 to accompany Mars Hydro TSW-2000 which has done an amazing job so far!😍😍 Using only the blue grow spectrum on the V900 for the recovery since I know from experience the bloom mode runs hot as fuck and I still need to figure out how to improve the airflow in the cabin without ruining good nights sleep.
Day 3: After last trimming session
Girls are recovering quite nicely. Watered today and just like I suspected ran out of root-juice and bio-heaven, the runtier Sunset Sherbet didn't get to taste any of that sweet sweet nectar:( Everyone took about the same amount of water (2l) with pretty much no runoff so boy were they thirsty. SS runt was having a little bit of trouble drinking since the soil was way too dry and had become a bit hydrophobic but with patience took it all like a champ. Had to remove some of the bindings to avoid snapping the stems but looks like they're still at pretty even height. OG Kush has a trunk thicker than my thumb already although she's less than 20cm high!
Ditched the tower fan from taking up too much space and replaced it with Garden Highpro oscillating clip-fan which is like a frigging hurricane even at lvl1! Lets see how it affects the temps which are quite high after adding the Viparspectra: topping at almost 30c during the last hours of day and I'm not even using the red blooming leds yet!😐
Still giving them the full 4ml/l of bio-grow every feeding but I'm thinking about cutting it back a bit since ran out of the snakeoils and not sure yet does that affect the uptake in a bad manner. Been also foliar feeding them w/ bio-grow every second day with 1-1.25ml/l to keep the humidity at around 60-70% all times and they seem to like it, leaves are nice dark green colored.
Realized just how tightly packed the tent will be so I'm going to put them into flowering as soon as they have at least 2-3 healthy nodes per branch so guessing at around start of the next week. Probably going to defoliate most of the leaf mass day before flipping the switch.. might even get excited enough to try schwazzing 1-2 plants since I've never tried that technique before and I really need to promote some airflow.
Day 4: Well that lasted long.. The fan cut its lead wires loose while oscillating because the cable clamps were set too tight straight out of the package, not giving it enough slack to turn full cycle.. Goddamn it.. Seems like an easy fix but got no time to start tinkering before going to work so I'll get it replaced by tomorrow and hope I wont get a dud made on mondays. Cranked up the inline duct fan a bit to compensate the loss of airflow and temps are staying in the 28C range but there's definitely some hotspots forming.. hopefully that leads to nothing too serious.

Calyxes are starting to fatten up. Trichomes are building nicely on all 3 plants this week. The aroma in the tent is getting stronger daily. Switching to a lighter nutrient feed this next week before flushing. Really pleased with how flowering is progressing in all 3 plants.

Week 1 went off perfectly, purples babies reaching WEEK 2!
😍 PRESENTATION OF THE LADIES 😍
------------------------------------------
The four plants are the same genetic. But they already have a different look, and I would introduce them to you :)
1) The Ugly - She have terrible first leaves. But she isn't late compared to the other. So I still believe in my Ugly!
2) The fatties - 2 of them grew wide leaves. It's just about leaves shape for now.
3) The solar panel - This one grew less wide but longer leaves.
Regarding the Ugly, I must say that for the 4 seeds, I had to manually remove the shell when they sprouted.
They all had their shell on after sprouting, and I don't like that. Probably a bit old seeds?
For now, they share the same needs, and seems all happy.
But this might change. I may even not be abble to recognize them, except if I cheat on them by putting labels on their pots ^^
💧 WATERING 💧
------------------
Luckily, the weather is offering some rains, and I been abble to put the ladies out under the rain during day 7 and 8.
Not that long, they still got watered on Day 8, some hours after the rain. With feeding for the first time!
🍗 FEEDING 🍗
------------------
First feeding. Used Fish-mix at 0.8ml/L. I plan to have a second watering in the week, but without nutrients. That's why I written 0.4ml/L in diary settings.
If you know me, you also know that I like Fish-mix, but that I'm also effraid of it ^^ As foliar later during veg, it's an awesome products, easy to see that plants love it.
But it seems verry powerfull, and need to be used carefully when given to plant. My rule is to limit to 50% of recommended dose. For now.
Anyway, Fishmix right after a rain must turn on every form of life in soil I believe 😀 Even life coming from rain.
🏡 GROWING CONDITIONS 🏡
-----------------------------------
Starting an indoor session on the end of summer seems a good choice for me:
- Some rains that provide me better water
- I can put the ladies out if verry sunny, to save electricity/money
- Perfect temps in the grow room. My house is always windows open. The growroom lightup in the end of the afternoon, when the day get cooler
- Plants will flowering indoor during winter. I need heat during winter, so thanks grow room :D And cold air mean verry dry air! So reaching low humidity on the end of flowering will be verry easy!
Pests : Nothing to report for now. I'm expecting a visit of my good old friends the thrips in 2-3 weeks 😎
Grow tent & Light (XS2000 ViparSpectra) : Something I notice just now: I'm abble to close the grow tent without air-extraction. I never been abble to do that in the past.
This light is waaaay more efficient, and produce way less heat, because I couldn't keep tent close with my previous Mars Hydro TSW2000.
Don't be effraid, I still renew the air in tent multiple times a day ;)

Thanks for reading guys :) Thanks for crossing your fingers last week, as you can see.... it worked!
PS : Improved my skill with my new camera. But except more and more better ones as I practice ^^

Yesterday I wanted to hang the lamp a little lower and unfortunately it fell into a plant. The damage could be greater but it makes me a little sad.
One BigBud looks really beautiful and is slowly turning purple. no one else does that. I also ordered canna terra flores because a few defects are slowly becoming noticeable, especially in the 6 l pots. I am otherwise very satisfied.
I currently water about 2 liters in the 6 liter pots and about 3 liters in the 9 liter pots. I will probably use fabric pots or AirPots less in the future because watering them annoys me so much and they dry out very quickly.

She grew another 17cm this week! 145cm tall!!!!!!!!!
She is totally out of headroom now, her top cola is through the lights and getting close to the roof of the tent 😅
Fastbuds do say it can reach 1.4M... 😁 It's accurate, she is a MONSTER of a plant.
This week I have done a quick video showing the result of my experiment a few weeks ago where I FIMed a couple of side branches. Take a look 😃
Nothing else to the report as I'm just letting her do her own thing.
For nutrients I'm using 15g of 20-20-20 powder mixed with 10L of water. Also added 4ml/L of both Cannazym and Terpinator. This brings it to around 1600ppm including ~300ppm for my clean water.
