So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

Day 36: I bend the branches even more, cut off the top leaf that covered 2 buds, one of them is very small, I hope to give it at least a little chance to grow. This is a victim of a broken branch.

***** Week 8 Flower - November 7 to 13, 2020, Days 50 to 56 ********* Okay Growmies this is the last update until the harvest week. The girls are down now and doing their thing in the dry box ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘ This is the last days for Cream 47 from Sweet Seeds. They have been fun and a learning experience with topping and trying to flush too late! I must admit.......sometimes I am tired of learning, how about an autopilot run soon๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ The girls were given their last bit of moisture on Nov 7/20, Day 50 of 2L RO water. November 8/20, Day 51 they went into darkness for two full days and then cut down. They had green leaves but the bud itself is looking pretty good.......smoke in a couple of months will tell the full story of how they flushed but for now there isn't anything else we can do and they are being harvested this week. Next update will be a harvest week!

I'm really digging the Chem OG, squat plants with those trademark thick thick thick indica leaves, clearly it's gonna be a heavy smoke lol Wasnt able to get the juices flowing this week, hopefully next week i'll get the smart protein into feed. Started training some of these, did two more defoliations (total of three light defos so far) ... and then flipped them 4 days ago. the f-ing landlord has been attempting to enter the lab according to my security cameras lol, motherfucker !!!! anyway i have to pack up the lab, hopefully i'll be able to complete the grow cycle , but for sure i'll have to move the grow op ... that's my problem, sure but it also means that i'll have to wait in order to set up my perpetual cycle... and of course i cant really take cuttings if i'm moving the lab... why must people be so curious? really wish there would be at least a bit more tolerance around this hobby just so i can sleep peacefully at night... in the mean time , I lowered my lights to 22cm, i heard from someone (forgot who) that it's a good thing to get the lights closer when you flip so that the plant gets that extra energy for the stretch. I'll let know how that works out ! Any comments or suggestions are welcome , veg is over so it's gonna get interesting - drop me a message if you want ! that's it ๐Ÿš€

Girls started to flower about a week ago and so far looks good and healthy to me. I have only 20cm space left above the light so I truly hope the stretch phase is getting to the end :) I feel like every grow I have done so far I thought I switched too early and in the end I worry about the space so my next grow will be experiment 12/12 from seed. I have seen very interesting diaries utilising this method so I can't wait to test it. Not much else to mention, standard 2.5 EC (my starting tap water is 0.4 probably due to chlorine?) ph 6.0 humidity is around 55% and 60% during the night, I will definitely get dehumidifier foe the last month, because mould has been my biggest enemy during my previous grows. temp is getting close to 29 celsius during the day. I just ordered some additional clip fans so it hope fully helps to reduce any possible heat stress. I defoliated quite heavily about a week ago and when I finished and put them back, I was a bit worried if I didn't go too hard on them, however just two days ago it was back to normal. Did little bit of defoliation once again today, got rid of some bottom branches and older fan leaves getting no light at the bottom. Really excited about next few weeks, if you have any advice let me know in the comment section. Thanks for checking and have a great day!

I also used seaweed extract, a source for potash, n-p-k 0-0-17. In my first two harvet the bud on the tree smelled like cat box for litter. Granted this is an age old description for types of pot plant. But after adding a recmoended dose the plant smells nice after that. Can add as foliage spray but not in direct light. Some describe this nutrient as a stress relief for the plant. Also I switched from GAIA Power Bloom to Canna Flores. The sweet pepper took well to the Holland based nutrient brand. As for the Jr Mintz, there is actually a hint of mint , the edible tea leaf made a very tranquile hot beverage. And when smoking the dried bud the sessation delivers both head buzz and body buzz. Great for writers and authors who want to sit comfy in their writers chair and work all day by the rainy window.

So, this will be their last week. After around twelve weeks, both guavas look to be ready for harvest. both plants didn't grow super big, the cold in the beginning seems to have really slowed things down super heavy. Nevertheless there are some nice and beautiful buds, looking forward how they will evolve when cured.

Black Opium has continued flower development and is looking very promising. The buds are fattening up very nicely. Good things to come for this one! ๐Ÿ˜ I'm trying to add in some PK boosters at this stage, she's looking beautiful. I'm adding Bud explosion, Seaweed extract, Ecothrive Flourish, and Sea K. To increase the Phosphorus and Potassium, to aid in flower development. Let's see how fat these buds can get! Here is what I did this week. 4.9.25: I watered with 3L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4 with; ๐Ÿ’œ 2ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 361 9.9.25: I watered with 3.25L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with; ๐Ÿ’œ 6ml Flourish ๐Ÿ’œ 1 TSP Sea K(elp) ๐Ÿ’œ .5 TSP Bud Explosion PH: 6.3 PPM: 970 Thanks for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments, Best of luck to everyone in the contest, Happy Growing ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ’šโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ™

Day 49-56 (Day 50) I hooked up my carbon filter to the humidity controller and it is keeping the room exactly at 65-70% RH night and day. It looks like it turns on about every 45 minutes for about 5 minutes so it allows me to run the co2 bag properly. I donโ€™t even have to use my dehumidifier. The room is 100% dark now too. Even the small red lights on the space heaters. Not going to feed anything other than foliars this week. (Day 51) Blackberry #4 & #8 #9 and white widows #2 & #3 are all confirmed males. Chopped them down and recycled the soil. White widow #1 is the first official female and Iโ€™m starting to see pistils on the m39/zkittlez too. Plants seem to be responding to the light fairly well. Itโ€™s hung 32 inches above the canopy which is as high as it can go without strapping it to the roof, which may have to happen one day. The plant can get within 6 inches of the light so Iโ€™m probably good. The ppfd output is 1800umols which is super high so I want to hang them as high as possible in veg. I wish I could rent a ppfd meter to see if Iโ€™m in range at 32โ€. (Day 52) Blackberry breath #3 is the first official bbb female to show. I decided to scrap BCTG #2. It sounded like a good strain but after looking at pictures of people who have grown it online, it doesnโ€™t look up to my standards. I found a very small patch of powdery mildew on one of the leaves so Iโ€™m not even going to start with that shit again. Iโ€™m really thinking about scrapping the m39/zkittlez and the white widow too. Iโ€™m praying that I get at least 4 females of BBB. I tried super cropping for the first time today. A few of the branches I definitely squished a bit too much as they turned quite brown and looked dead within a day. (Day 53) Despite the m39/zkittlez vigorous growth, I know it will be a shitty strain that will most likely herm as itโ€™s from a bag seed of low grade weed. Iโ€™ve decided instead of scrapping it, I will use it for experimenting with a new chemical powdery mildew preventative. If it dies oh well. I doused it and chopped a limb off a few hours ago during lights on and it seems fine. (Day 54) Iโ€™m about 90% sure BBB 6&7 are both female. #2 & #5 are looking like males but too early too tell. #1 is really tough to say. Just gotta be patient I guess. #3 has a great spread out structure, I hope it doesnโ€™t stretch too much. The scrogging is a priority. I put up the scrog net just to see how it fits. Itโ€™s a little small around the edges but thatโ€™s fine. So itโ€™s looking like out the 9, I would be lucky to get 4 fems if #1 & 7 would show forsure already. If #1 is a female I have my 4 and I can throw out the white widow. The white widow is just insurance at this point. Super cropped plants have recovered nicely. Going to continue doing this more. Iโ€™ve noticed that the plants that were put into my custom soil mix have very small fan leaves compared to the fabric pots of straight promix and dry amendments. Could also be the fabric pot is helping dry downs too. (Day 56) Iโ€™m seeing some yellowing so Iโ€™m going to give a foliar spray just too keep some deficiencies at bay. All of the plants are stunted except the m39 and bbb#3. Node spacing has also reduced significantly. I canโ€™t help but feel itโ€™s from the intensity of my lights but maybe they just need a transplant into some new soil something. Luckily the stunt and droop is only really happening to what I suspect are male plants anyway. Leaves are looking twisted and gnarled on #5. Going to move it into the veg tent for a while. Iโ€™m going to mix up and amend my Destiny/coco blend today and transplant bbb#3 and 6 & 7 in a few days. I mixed them up in contractor bags making sure to toss and turn vigorously. Here is my blend: 2 bags 40L Destiny soil 2 bags 40L coco 700ml glacial rock dust 700ml oyster shell flour 700ml natureโ€™s pride bloom 300ml basalt rock dust 150ml langbeinite 150ml natureโ€™s pride veg I am also going to try the Destiny top dress as itโ€™s only 13 bucks a bag and full of good shit. Iโ€™m trying to not feed heavy in flower other than 2 or 3 top dresses and 2 teas and nothing after week 5. Because itโ€™s taken so long for the plants to show sex, when I transplant into the 10 gallon pots, they should have more than enough nutrients too keep them going strong all the way through flower with just water. Iโ€™m a little skeptical about that though. Besides teas and dressings are fun. Everything should be broken down by week 8 or so. Will transplant in a few days.

The plant is growing at a great rate, unfortunately there are still no signs of flower growth. Trying to remain patient, going to give it a few more weeks and if thereโ€™s nothing growing Iโ€™m going to pull it.

All went well this week, apart from my phmeter breaking... I guess more two weeks of waiting. The colas are well developed, but the lower flowers ain't. But both are full of tricomes.
