MONDAY: Taking all those cuttings last week seems to have really triggered her auxins, all branches are stretching, even the ones I cut from, but her main is reeeaaalllly stretching.. I think I'm gonna have to either top her or supercrop her. I've got to keep her height down so she isn't too much of a pain to deal with in a tent full of her little clones. this fall. Or maybe I'll just stick her in a closet somewhere and keep about 15 watts on her all winter long, then take some more cuttings to put outdoors? I wish I know for sure how well she smelled/tasted/intoxicated. I'd hate to learn she's a super-plant and not be able to grow her again... WEDNESDAY: I gave her a drink of water with bud candy and calimagic and started foliar feeding with Flower's Kiss. THURSDAY: I checked her clones today...4 have rooted very well and going into 3 gal pots tomorrow. Foliar fed her and told her how beautiful she looks. FRIDAY: I gave her a gallon of grow nutes including Microbe Brew and also started her on Terpinator. I planted 7 of her clones in 3 gallon (white) fabric pots today. They are sharing the 4 x 4 tent with the 6 x White Widow + 1 x Candy Cane seedlings for now. SATURDAY: I planted 7 of her clones today in 3 gallon (white) fabric pots. I added two new blue/cold white LED panels to the 4 x 4 tent. They are kickass. Very low heat and excellent coverage. The 2 lights is overkill for this space, but I like it....a lot. So much so, that I will order 4 of them in 660nm deep red for flowering..two for the 4 x 4 and two for the 5 x 4. I also bought and installed a 16' string of 300 Cold White (7000k)/Warm White (2800k) strip lights(150 each). It has a remote control which lets me change over to warm white for flowering...or have steady cold white and pulse warm white..or whatever. I think that they will serve as excellent low-heat side/corner lighting. Kinda pricey because in addition to the lights, you have to buy a controller and power supply, but they seem very effective. I plan to order another set for the 4 x 4 tent. But, it's a double-row set (600 leds) ..one row of lights is warm white, and the other is RGB adjustable, so I can run 440nm blues for veg and 660nm reds for flower. I plan to keep them just below the canopy so as to illuminate the secondary and tertiary buds as much as possible. Once this concept is proven (and once I save the money), I'll do the same thing in the 4 x 5 tent. Update: Ok, so I've decided I'm only kinda happy with the strip lights.. I've decided to try velcroing 4 of those 4' integrated led tube lights in cold white for veg and warm white for flower to my horizontal poles. The cold white(6500k) are 2-rows of lights that pull 36w and put out 3000 lumens each and the warm white(2700) are single row pulling 24w at 2200 lumens each.

What a journey! These girls were so awesome to watch grow. I made some real true newbie mistakes right from the start... 😳 Packed the soil way too tight, did not germinate in wet paper towel first, and of course over-watered. The one I call yellow monster actually had its root above ground and it turned brown. I did fix it up laughing all the time. But in the end with only a dry weight of 21.7 g , watching it turn yellow then purple was well worth it. 😍 The one I wanted to main-line was the very first to sprout but the very last to grow... the end up being the tallest at 38 inches. She stayed green the whole time. She had a weight of 34.2 g 😜 My LST was fantastic... I could only imagine what she would have turned out like with no to little mistakes. She was a cool mixture of green and purple. Her weight was 43.6 g 😳😍😜 Total weight = 99.5 grams or 3.55 oz Kryptonite soil "living soil", just added water the whole time... (with a little bit of molasses mixed in once in a while). 315w CMH Lights with an extra 600w LED for 3 or 4 week near the end... thanks to a friend! Had temp average around 24-25 Celsius with night temps between 16-19 Celsius. Used 5 Gallon Smart pots. Only vaped a little... waiting for full cure. 3-4 weeks! Will update! Thank you @Sweet_Seeds! Thanks for watching! 😵 Update June 17th: Smell has changed from curing. Alot more pungent. I tried a taste from each but I'm going to wait another week before my final comment. Final Update June 26th... The curing process is pretty much done, I believe. The taste has changed a little... has more of earthy taste to it now. Since I cured at 3 different times, each pheno has it's own nice little buzzzz😵 It has been a blast!!! 😛

Hello my friendly growmies 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾🌲🌲, This Fat Banana 🍌😋 continue to grow fast this week, look really happy in the 11l pot and look in love under the TS1000. I've removed the 2 first stage, by experience I know will don't give good stuff. I don't know if I'll let grow the plants or if lst, I'll have the week to think about. 💦I give water each 2 days and more and more this week 250 ml Water + RQS Grow Tab (1/2 for 2.2l ) 300 ml Water + cannazym 350 ml Water + RQS Grow Tab + Boost @PH6 Lamp @60% Thanks community for follow, likes, comments, always a pleasure 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾❤️🌲 Mars Hydro - TS1000 💡💡 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ts-1000-led-grow-light Mars Hydro - FC3000 💡💡 https://www.mars-hydro.com/fc-3000-samsung-lm301b-led-grow-light RQS - Fat Banana Auto 🍌🍌🌲🌲 https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/autoflowering-cannabis-seeds/487-fat-banana-automatic.html

The smell in the tent is amazing right now. This girl just reminds me of being in Amsterdam. That haze smell is unreal! She is fattening up nicely! It won't be long till she will have a little extra space in the tent! She is in autopilot right now.

Hi guys, At the end of the story, I am very happy with the whole cycle and finally the outcome, since I almost killed everything in there 😂 The Z&Z is a well balanced 60% - 40% Indica - Sativa dominan strain with a short flowering period. I did have problems throughout the cycle overfertilizing the plant. This is on of the strain that did notice more my mistake, can be clearly seen on the final product. Iinfact, a good part of the flowers, went for bubble hash. I topped them, and then practiced LST training to help them growing wider. Probably If I wouldnt have messed up with the ferilizer I would have had a much better final product, this time, talking about quantity and quality. The whole plants were dried for 18 days after which they were finished in jars for another 6 weeks, if I dont fell sooner. Really looking forward to grow this strain again Indoor, I'am amazed by the terpene profile and the amount of resin they've produced, even under my multiple attempt to screw em!! STRONG GENETIC! I would like to thank Grow Diaries for this amazingly-organized community they have created, where we all can learn a lot, and share something we really love. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and looked at the diary, squeezed the like button or comment the diary. 13/12 I'VE MADE MY FIRST RUN OF BUBBLE HASH! Very very happy with the end result, did not weight anything yet because is still wet big time, I lightly squeezed it a bit, before let it drying on parchment on a cardboard. The smell it's just absolutely crazy. I can smell strong citrus notes in the 120µm but the 90µm and 73µm explodes with crazy-sweet note. While the 25µm (did not use the 43µm) where I did collect most of the hash, smell like good and sweet hash, nothing crazy like the previous ones but a very buttery like consistency that makes me want to eat it like this...dont ask me why...even though I know you all probably felt this way too... Anyway, the paper sheet says it all about timing, washes and µm used for the extractions, but just in case I'll explain it down here. I have done 3 wash with different timing. 1º wash: 5 min only to get the most brittle trichome heads 2º wash: 10 min stardard 3º wash: 30 min to stock up a bit 😅 I could have done an extra wash for sure and get more out, but I was running out of time so...I will update with the dry weight, it was not the only wash I've done, that were just too many grades to weight up..so I chose to do it once all dry! See you really soon with on the nex run pals!

High temperatures, high transpiration, high turgor pressure, and lots of cell elongation. Cannabis plants can sense and respond to their surroundings. They don't have brains like humans, but they have evolved sophisticated ways to perceive and react to various environmental cues, including light, gravity, touch, water, sound, and even the presence of other plants. This ability, known as plant perception, allows them to adjust their growth, defend themselves, and even communicate with each other. Infrared light, particularly near-infrared (NIR), can influence plant growth and development by impacting various processes including initiation and elongation. UVB radiation inhibits stem and hypocotyl elongation in plants. Moderate UV-B exposure can cause a decrease in stem and leaf elongation, leading to a more compact plant architecture. Higher UV-B intensities, like 7.5 kJ·m−2, can lead to reduced elongation. So it becomes a dance of initiating a stretch to seek to higher ppfd, then whenever you want the stretching to slow down,UVB inhibits the stretch by altering hormone balance,, coupled with the high-intensity dli once you get her to a height where you want. Being autos I don't have much time to play around. So we are playing fast and loose, get stretched, and then spread her open. You get the idea. 86F 30% RH with the lower side of optimal on ppfd, with a smudgering of infra-red to initiate response of making her stretch more so than normal. Once she sprouts up in height, I drop metrics to 77F 55%RH% while upping the ppfd, giving her a dash of extra 430nm, giving the grow more of a 6000K. This encourages denser growth with less elongation. Higher side of optimal PPFD, with the auxin hormone balance changed, the side stems are starting to shoot up to the same canopy level as the apex (almost). Normally takes me 2 untrained toppings before a plant will flatten its canopy. I didn't take enough off the apex to do it in one chop, it was only day 10, so there really wasn't much to top from without creating unpredictable results using fim, opted just to keep it to a clean topping. Even predictability over the Chaos of the"Fim". Brainfart: Remember, the veg stage creates the skeleton that will stretch out into flowers. How dense you create the skeleton through light intensity will determine the density of your clusters as they form cola, as long as you can keep up with the demands. Increasing light intensity generally leads to plants having shorter internodal spacing, meaning the distance between nodes (where leaves grow) on a stem is reduced. This effect is particularly noticeable under LED grow lights, with great stress comes great dense clusters. Hello, temperature, my old friend! Goodbye, money on AC. What did the flower decide to study in college? STEM.

✌️👨‍🚀🍊 C'est partis pour la floraison ! Mes lemon orange se développe excessivement bien, je croise les doigts pour que ça continue en espérant avoir de gros bourgeons savoureux dans 2 mois 🤞🍊 J'ai ajouté environ 25gr de poudre BioBloom par pot de 8L soit environ 3gr/L. J'arrose chaque pot avec environ 1.5L tout les 5 jours. J'ajoute du biohenhanceur 1 fois sur 2 Intensité de la FC3000: 90% Ventilation : 2 ventilateur oscillant ( ON 12/24H) + Extracteur pouces mars hydro power : 2/10 (24h/24h) 👋👨‍🚀🍊 Venez me voir sur instagram ! 🤩 https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/

Blütewoche 2 Die beiden Pflanzen zeigen keine Anzeichen von Mängeln oder sonstigen Problemen. So solls weitergehen. Pheno Nr.2 hängt weiter ein Paar Tage hinterher, macht sich dafür aber sehr gut.

very strong resin production, a heavy hitter, nighttime stuff! a real great strain, highly recommended! you can certainly smell the grape with a creamy touch! ps. one of the plants was a mutant, it was very weak, had almost no resin on it and absolutely no scent at all....but it had alot of potency and a awesome yield!

Great bud with tones of bag appeal. Cant wait to see how it smells after a few weeks in the jars!
