A bit frustrated that I don’t see flowers yet :( I defoliated quite a bunch of leaves that were taking all the space (see pictures). I hope flowers will appear soon after it!

She has held up well managing the environment so far she has very few leaf burn but not concerning. N13 is showing signs of bloom the white hairs shaping up to be round like cotton balls with no leaf fading. The N13 has received 600ml of nutrients to get her through to the end of bloom and she stands approximately 57cm

D64. We're at the start of the fourth week of flower, and today was a busy day. First, I had to remove the old lights before swapping in the light from my auto tent. All while trying to avoid trashing the plants in the way too full tent. Not an easy task. The entire mission, with changing the light in the auto tent as well, took a couple of hours. I wish I could keep the Greenception lights in the tent as they're high-quality lights, but the Kingbrite has a much lower profile and thus takes up much less space. Space that I desperately need considering how insanely much these girls stretched. One of the tops on the second girl has unfortunately already been bunt by being too close to the light, and I'm sure I will run into light bleaching and probably foxtailing as the grow progress, but I hope I will be able to pull it off with the Kingbrite light. I also added some wire support to the branches that I super-cropped, as they looked somewhat sad after all the abuse to the canopy while swapping the lights. ------------------------------ D66. It looks like the girls have FINALLY stopped stretching. Phew! Yesterday, I gave each girl 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.2 with humic acid and EM-1. Today, the green lacewing larvae (Chrysoperla Carnea) arrived, and I dispersed them in the tent to deal with the thrips. ------------------------------ D68. All is well in the tent, but now when the thrips are (hopefully) under control, it's time to address the VPD. It has gotten seriously out of wack due to dropping temps, plus I increased the humidity to make the environment more inhospitable for the thrips. The temps were low due to the light change as the new one is running a lot cooler, but the temps have also dropped outside. The heating in the lungroom has been off until now, so I turned that on and lowered the humidity threshold on my exhaust fan. Finally, I put my small humidifier in the tent, generating extra heat and decreasing the humidity. So far, the VPD has increased from a terrible 0.4-0.5 to an acceptable 0.9, and I'm hoping it will increase further as the ambient RH drops as we move into winter. ------------------------------ D70. We're at the end of the fourth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. The VPD has gone up to 1.0, which is a nice improvement to what it was only a couple of days ago. I haven't scouted yet for thrips, but I will give the lacewings a couple of days to do their thing and then look closer. However, I went to WAR against the spider mites we have in our ornamental plants in the apartment. I sprayed all plants with my homemade pesticide (capsaicin, alcohol, horticultural soap.) since I had it at hand. If that fails to knock the spider mites back, I'll bring out the neem oil instead. The infestations aren't bad (yet), but it would suck to get mites into my tents, so better to be proactive. ------------------------------

This week in our organic grow we are introducing Fox Farms beastie blooms into the garden to help initiate flower production and to help boost up the nutrients the plant is receiving as all “feedings” are beneficial teas.

Habe zum Ende der 13ten Woche nochmal die Trichome unter dem Mikroskop begutachtet und die Pflanze für soweit befunden. Konnte mir hier viel Beratung verschaffen und bin nun guter Dinge dass alles gut wird. Das Licht ist aus und wird ausgebaut, das Zelt auf die Trocknungsphase vorbereitet. Die Pflanzen lasse ich nun noch für 2 oder 3 Tage im Dunkeln bevor ich mit dem Ernten beginne. Die Pflanzen zeigen Mängel da ich bereits seit einer woche am Flushen bin. Ich bin bisher mit den Ergebnissen zufrieden und muss ehrlich sagen: White Label hat mich kein Stück enttäuscht. Jeder Samen keimte. Jede Pflanze war stark und hat mir auch mal den einen oder anderen Fehler verziehen ohne gleich kaputt zu gehen. Ich bin mehr als zufrieden mit der Wahl meiner Samen und hoffe nun die Ernte in ein Paar Tagen gut abschliessen zu können.

6’-4” & 5’-8” as of today, 6’-0” average height. These ladies are beautiful! Everyone who comes by the house just stops and stares when they get near my garden. So do I 👍🤣 I had to move some plants outdoors from my indoor grow due to losing the battle to high heat and humidity. Two are super close to harvest, one might get cut over the weekend. Feel free to comment and let me know what you would do. Thanks!

17.12 F47 I am definitely thinking I mixed up the seeds now. The 2 in the airpots are now likely to be the same strain and I'm guessing royal gorilla because of the purpleing. The 2 in the fabric pots must be cookies gelato. They are taller, greener and way thicker stems. If anyone could chime in and help me out identifying the two strains that would be appreciated 🤦‍♂️ Still no nutes given. Under 12 hours of spiderfarmer light 19.12 Day 49 Noticed some odd (or not) deformeties on the 2 (what I believe to be after the potential mixup) cookies gelato....

Hi! 4 plants will be in this diary, Blue Sherbet S1 Feminized Seeds By The Plug SeedBank. Blue Sherbet S1 Feminized Seeds are a Plug favorite. This Blue Sherbet S1 also spelled Sherbert is a mix of Sunset Sherbet and Blue Cookies. A very powerful smell due to the impressive production. These feminized seeds tend to let off a deep green and purple tone towards the end of the bloom period. Expect an 8 to 9 week flower period and yields of 550g/M2. Cerebral effects with powerful physical relaxation. The plug has done it again. We can expect nothing less than exceptional genetics from a team of experienced and dedicated breeders. 24K Gold Feminized Seeds By DNA Genetics. 24K Gold Feminized Seeds are a multi-award-winning blend of Kosher Kush and the 2013 twelve cup Sativa champion Tangie. With aroma’s of tangerine and the cup winning Kosher Kush, 24 carrot is one in its own by DNA Genetics. Due to Kosher flavored fruits with strong citrus undertones, this F1 hybrid has an impressive aroma in the bloom period. You can expect to find three phenotypes in this genetic and all three being cup winners. 24K Gold has rapid growth in veg and can stretch up to the fourth week of flower. Bloom period is 9 to 10 week with large yields and very resinous flowers. Zkittlez Feminized Seeds by The Bakery Seed Co. Zkittlez Feminized Seeds are a cross of Afghan Kush x (Grapefruit x Grape Ape). A great Indica dominant hybrid that causes a well balanced cerebral effect. With a flowering period of 60 to 65 days, you can expect an indoor harvest of 600g/m2 and outdoor harvest of around 700g/m2. A great display of resin with faint purple hues late in the flowering period. Aromas of deep berry and grape. SGROG method works great with this genetic. A great addition to The Bakeries ever-growing in-house collection. Fruit Tree Feminized Seeds by The Bakery Seed Co. Fruit Tree Feminized Seeds by the Bakery Seed Co are at the forefront of the Bakeries recipes. These Fruit Tree Seeds are very stable genetics as well as yielding a minimum of 550g/m2. A 70 day flower period indoors and displays a great terpene profile both indoors and outdoors too, all though the green house is optimal for this strain. This is a Sativa dominant breed tested at 19% THC with great citrus aromas late in flower. This is another great addition to the Bakery Seed Co’s Feminized range. I just started germination today 29th of June by placing them in the water for 24 hours. 30th of June: I placed them between damp paper and plates they started germinating except Fruit tree seed did not want to sink before in the water and no sign of germinating yet between the paper. I just cut a bit it's shell because it might be too hard for the sprout to break it and come out. Rest of them are OK spouts are out and constantly growing. I aim to plant them tomorrow if the Fruit Tree grows a bit more. 1st of July: I planted 3 of them except Fruit Tree. I will wait several days more to show some sign of life and if will not then I will plant the other strain. It has been given as a gift seed with my previous order. It may be older so need more time to start its life. The seedling stage starts so just keep the humidity high, no ventilation at all always spray the room. Day 3: It seems that Fruit tree seed is not viable so I ordered the other one. Probably it is old seed. As it comes I will straight germinate to be planted asap. 2 of them are out Zkittlez and 24 K Gold. Blue Sherbet S1 still not out hopefully by tomorrow. I will spray them tonight and a closed all the holes on the tent to keep the humidity high. Day 5: Nice one! Zkittlez and 24K nicely out! Blue Sherbet S1 is coming also by tomorrow it will be out properly. I received a new Fruit tree seed and started germinating to be able to plant it asap. Watering around 5ml a day per plant. 24 hours LED light schedule no off. 2 x 60W so 30 W per plant. They love it! Day 5: Fruit tree started germinating I think I can plant on Sunday. It will be 1 week back but it is alright. Blue Sherbet S1 is growing also. Zkittlez and 24K Gold are nicely developing. Day 9: All of them out!!!! Blue Sherbet S1 looks so different due to its Sativa domination. Humidity is high 90% over, and 24/7 light schedule with 2x 60 W 30 each plant, and no ventilation and fertilization at this stage. They are so cute, so fragile....

Twiggy and Zoey will be hurting this week. Trying a bit of drought stress to see how it will affect the terps. They look great going into it, so we'll see how it goes. Pots have dried out and are super light as of 5/21AM

Day 9 above soil: Well they survived their 1st week above the soil and are looking fairly happy among the other girls in this Fast Buds fun grow. I have a clear front runner with #3 of the girls being the most developed and certainly the largest of the entire crop.. All factors bed sides medium are the same within the room and the environment is the best control I have had for any of my previous grows so there shouldn't be any "better position" or best of the nutes situation here either. Genetics obviously plays a big role but her speed is above what I expected and even faster than her sisters. They have had their 1st coco feed today and have been given a few waters throughout the week with the biosys tea. I have no real concerns on these triplets and see them growing nicely at the moment. The slight pale issue is not bad on these three so let's see what they can do when they get that organic gold into their stems.

Day 11: Watered each plant with 0.1l with nuts 465 ppm, 987 us/cm, 0.9 EC Lights at 35% The strawberry banana seedlings was very late in coming out of the ground, I had to give the helmet a hand to get it out, through 2 or 3 drops of water. One of the seeds is not good, it grew poorly, I put a Gorilla Cookies to replace it, also from fadtbuds. Let's see how it goes Day 12: The strawberry bananas are recovering well, one of the seeds is starting to get normal leafs, sounds perfect Day 13: Watered each plant with 0.25L with nuts 480 ppm, 1027 us/cm, 1 EC Lights at 50% Day 16: Watered each plant with 0.3L with nuts 668 ppm, 1423 us/cm, 1.4 EC Performed foliar callmag while the lights were off

Devo dire che questa IBK sta crescendo vigorosa e adesso che finalmente ho montato la TS 1000 che mi è stata mandata gentilmente da Mars Hydro sono sicuro che faranno progressi da gigante, la lampada cob da 1200w che usavo fino ad oggi purtroppo scaldava tanto ed arrivavo a 30°c dentro la growbox chiusa con estrattore spento e mi toccava tenerlo acceso inutilmente in questa fase... Grazie ai miei compagni di coltivazione che verranno a supportare e grazie a Sweet Seeds per queste meravigliose genetiche 🙏☺️🌱

End week 3 plants still looking healthy. Removed couple fan leaves blocking bud sites. Temps getting hot outside in spring so tent temps have gone up but still in range to thrive. Humidity is mostly the easiest to control

This week the girls are doing really good the flowers are getting big and thicker. They just got fed with Goldleaf feterlizer. The height is the same as last week, the aroma coming out the tent is like sweet and sour.. it is a normal aroma not as strong for the 7 weeks.
