Marijuana cultivation, like any agricultural endeavor, involves various techniques to optimize growth, yield, and potency of the plant. This is the week to make it happen! One such advanced technique is High-Stress Training (HST). HST is employed to control the growth pattern of the marijuana plant, making it more bushy rather than tall. This is beneficial for indoor growers with limited vertical space. Moreover, HST exposes more of the plant's foliage to light, which can lead to enhanced photosynthesis. This results in a plant that can produce more buds, which are denser and more potent. Given that light is a primary energy source for plants, maximizing light exposure can drastically improve the overall quality and quantity of the harvest. Topping is a specific form of HST that involves cutting off the main stem's topmost growth. This method forces the plant to divert its energy and nutrients to the lower branches, promoting the development of multiple main colas instead of a single dominant one. By encouraging a more even canopy, topping ensures that light is distributed more uniformly across the plant. This reduces the chances of having underdeveloped buds at the lower sections of the plant due to light deprivation. Topping also curtails the plant's height, making it more manageable, especially for indoor growers with limited space. HST and topping are integral for modern marijuana growers seeking to enhance their yields. These techniques address the spatial constraints faced by many growers and ensure that the marijuana plant receives optimal light exposure. The end goal of these methodologies is to increase yield and potency, and when done correctly, they can transform a mediocre harvest into a bountiful one. Cultivators who invest time in understanding and implementing these techniques stand to benefit significantly from their marijuana crops.

The girl is experiencing a lot of stress this week: 1-LST, 2- Freezing of the leaves of the marigolds, and small branches, as much as it was a pity to do it - I "had to" do it, so that in the future it would only be better for her :) I believe that she will recover soon and will be able to continue her growth :) Also this week, Megina received Biotabs nutrients as recommended in their schedule :) Good luck to everyone :).

Sky Walker ~~~~~INDOOR~~~~~ DAY 148 Above Dirt 💬SATURDAY 01.20.24 - The girls are starting to hum again after last week's harsh defoliation, today will be using Real Growers Recharge for their weekly Tea Feeding, will be top dressing again next week, and this may carry the girls until the end of thier grow cycle. 💬 MONDAY 01.22.24 - 6 solid weeks into flower and these ladies are starting to fatten up their buds, they are already becoming hard as rocks, I don't think they liked the heavy defoliation I put them through and may have to be content with smaller flowers, or, maybe not, we will see. The smells are amazing with a dank and earthy fragrance also some prominent citrus and fruity notes. 📝 REAL GROWERS RECHARGE -is a mix-and-pour soil microbe superpack. It works like an instant compost tea. The soil microbes in Recharge go out and grab the nutrients in your soil, help break them down, and bring them back to your plant's root zone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌱Sky Walker 👨‍🌾Sativa Jones 🌤️@Medicgrow420 📝SeedBank Seeds 📝@gaiagreenorganics 📝Bokashi Biochar 📝Real Growers Recharge 📝 ProMix-HP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 📝 Skywalker OG Strain is a top-shelf Indica dominant hybrid.

a little as it's cold here and the room the tent is in gets down to 15-16c at night. The air is also dry af This is great, cannabis loves low humidity and a good 10 degree difference in day/night temps in flowering. Swelling up nice. Doesn't really smell unless handled.

Day 2 from week 9 Flower and they are almost ready, i gave the one last watering yesterday and it was the last one for this round 😅 they all look amazingly beautiful, each in her peculiar way ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Over all it was an easy growing grow, loads of training, defoliating etc but wen we want to have a full sea of green it requires love and dedication or it becomes a jungle with no mean, low production and a place were problems start to appear, and we want to avoid problems not deal with them 😅 by all means wen they appear we must deal and take the knowledge and learnings out off them, so that in the future we are able to prevent getting in the same situations 😅😉😆❤️ Day 62 and they are in dark mode for 20 hours now, keeping my night VPD around 1.26Kpa this means the temperatures are 81 and the humidity is at 52% , they will stay like this for one more day and them i will harvest. This run has been supper fun and i have learn and unlearned loads of stuff, led technology is very different from hps and there’s a lot of parameters that change during all stages, they eat and drink way more, this means they will put out more water in the air meaning bigger dehumidifier, better air circulation, etc etc etc This run i raised my night temps during all grow and keep my humidity levels very stable and never under 50%, and I always went by VPD Can’t wait to see what my next run as to teach me 🙏 felling very blessed with the looks of it and soon i will get to try, but still harvesting, drying, curing And only after i’l be able too 😅🙏🤞❤️ Hoping for great medicine on this run 🙏😅🤞😅🙏 5x White Mango WM 5x Alasken Purple AP 4x Blueberry BB 3x SAD S1 2x Badazz Cookies BC 19 in total for a 4x8x6 - 1,2x2,4x2 Light Lumatek Zeus 465W compact pro 2x at 50% All i Grow is medicine for myself, Stay safe, stay tuned and B Happy and do it for the love Peace ✌️ D

Pfff, explicaros que estas green ak xL son una variedad bastante difícil de cultivar, los cambios ambientales le sientan fatal, y hay que tener cuidado con la alimentación ya que se Sobrefertiliza fácilmente así que ojo, eso por un lado. Por otro si eres un cultivador con varios años de experiencia y todo te sale bien, es probarla, porque el sabor de esta cepa compensa la dificultad de su cultivo. Thc hasta 18% , sativa predominante. Genéticas: Afghan x Colombian x Mexican x Thai Landrades.

Day 64, 12.06.2024 Today marks the start of week 10. I just saw that some of the leafs of Erika I are clawing upwards. I double checked the light distance to the canope which seems to be fine at around 30cm. I watered yesterday. As over watering might be the culprit as well I will watch closely wether it gets better during the next 24h. However, as we are approaching the finishing line I will not put too much effort in this issue. Day 65, 13.06.2024 Another round of drinks is about to be served. As Erika I is tacoing (edges of the leafs are facing towards the light) I went into analysis: It could be a) lights: after checking the distance again I an rule that out. Also the other plant does not show any clawing symptoms. b) underwatering: I gave 500ml extra water yesterday in the morning in hopes of recovery by afternoon. But no sign of relaxation so I ruled out that as well. c) overwatering: hard to believe as I only water 15% of the pot volume every other day and there is no drain d) over fertilization: Thats a point - I gave both plants the exact same amount of nutrition during grow. I think this plant might have had enough for a while. Because of d) I decided to not give Erika I any fertilizers today (she also did not show signs of low nutrition in the past). However, I will water both and keep an eye on them. No reason for panic though I guess. Also: Being on the final lap towards harvest I recognized quite a lot of the pistils are getting orange. I would say currently over all buds around 50-60% of the pistils are orange. I will wait until ~90% of them are orange and then take a look at the trichomes, where I aim for 80/20 ratio (cloudy to amber). Day 66, 14.06.2024 No action today. Day 67, 15.06.2024 Today I will water and feed again - providing 4/4/4 Grow/Bloom/TopMax + 1,2ml CalMag to Erika II. For Erika I I am still waiting for the leafs to un-taco - but until now there is no sign of it. This is the last official week with nutrients anyway so maybe Erika I already had her last meal, but without realizing 😂 Tacoing did not went away. Didn't really change at all actually. So they both get water & nutes. Next time I might skip nutes on Erika I. Amount of water: ~600ml each Day 68, 16.06.2024 No action on the plants today. Revised my timing and plans: - BioBizz nutrient schedule is made for roughly 10 weeks of flowering with flushing instructions on the second to last week and harvest on the last week - assuming the Erikas started flowering in their 3rd week that leaves me with facing the 8th flowering week up (which is also the last week they should get nutrition) right ahead - Decision: will give them 3 times nutrients over the next 1 week. Then I will stop giving them nutrients and start flushing every other day (water then until water comes out below the pots). - I assume/hope I will flush for at least one week until it is time for harvest This period of the grow is unexpectedly exciting! I do not have any experience from other grows but until now I think it went quite good. There were no pests, no big time nutrient deficiencies, etc. and the buds look big and firm (at least from what I can tell anyway). Day 69, 17.06.2024 - A round of drinks to the ladies: The usual 4/4/4 Grow/Bloom/TopMax in 600ml of water each. Will NOT skip nutes on Erika I. - Humidity is starting to pose a problem again: During night time the humidity does not go below 68% for 6 hours. I surely hope this is not a problem - but I do not have any other choice: there is high humidity currently outside (lots of rain & warm weather). I will hope for the best I guess. - removed 3 more leafs Day 70, 18.06.2024 No action today but to experience high humidity (~69%) without being able to do something about that 😢 This concludes week 10. The breeder states this strain is ready for harvest after 11 weeks. Well.. I guess I am about to find out.

Day 56 ( 16 Flowering): I am in love with their appearance in this grow. They look surreal with their black smeared leaves and the contrast against the white pistils adds a dimension I have never seen in my grows before . They have been getting on with it quite happily and as the quickest to flowering and harvest according to their info , they should finish this week !!!. l I am glad that this is not the case and they have at least 2 weeks for sure. They smell so berry now , I cannot wait to smoke the finished article. #1 The LOS girl is short and building her stacked buds now. She doesnt lookalike she will be a huge yield but her buds are beauties. I think I could have let her go without lst for a taller girl. #2 is trained a little but not tied up the same as other in the grow. she has a good size to her and her buds look amazing too. #3 Was the pale rubbery girl until the Mega Crop got busy making her green again. She is now quite a big lady and has had to move moved under the TSL-2000 to keep her happy without super cropping her. She is absolutely covered in small budlets

Metemos un último apretón de comida porque la planta lo pide y la resina y dureza de las flores me sorprende muy gratamente y el olor super fuerte!! Es una pasada como evoluciona de rápido y de bien. Se nota en alguna hoja como nos pidió un poco más de calmag y comida, pero están muy sanas y fuertes! Ya están cercanas a su última semana, ya tenemos a 30 cm el foco y las pequeñas están estupendas.😘😍

The leaves on both GG#1 and GG#2 are both starting to gain some colour now they are starting to get purple around the edges of the leaves so pretty soon Im going to have some extra pretty looking plants !! :D :D :D Things are going to take roughly 1 week longer then I thought originally but thats fine ! I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks to come ! I'd like to thank everyone who stops by and checks out the diary .
