Week 13 20 December 2023 Once upon a time in a small town, a group of friends decided to embark on an unusual Christmas adventure. Instead of the traditional festivities, they hatched a plan to grow a special kind of Christmas tree—cannabis. They called themselves the "Green Elves" and secretly transformed an abandoned greenhouse into their winter wonderland. As the weeks passed, they nurtured their unconventional crop with care, each day bringing new challenges and unexpected joys. With Christmas approaching, the friends faced the dilemma of revealing their secret to the town or keeping it hidden. In the spirit of the season, they chose honesty, deciding to share their unique Christmas tale. To their surprise, the townspeople responded with unexpected warmth and understanding. Rather than judgment, they found support and curiosity. The community embraced the unconventional holiday spirit, turning the greenhouse into a festive gathering place. The Green Elves learned a valuable lesson about acceptance, and their cannabis Christmas tree became a symbol of breaking stereotypes and celebrating diversity. That year, the town had a Christmas unlike any other, filled with laughter, unity, and a touch of unexpected green magic. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 Heya👍🤙👍🌱 Thanks for reading!!!🤙👍🤙🌱

Day 63 This plant has been trained into a wide, flat shape, with multiple tops spread out evenly across the pot. The structure is low and bushy, clearly influenced by topping or LST, which has opened up the canopy for better light penetration. Leaf color is generally healthy, a strong green with decent vibrancy, though some variation is visible. The lower leaves show stress — one is yellowed and deteriorating, likely from nutrient deficiency (older growth being consumed) or simply natural fading. The canopy looks vigorous and responsive to training, but growth is still somewhat restrained; the plant doesn’t yet have explosive vertical energy. The root zone may still be recovering from earlier stress, but the overall appearance suggests it’s adapting well. Going forward, the key will be to maintain even watering and steady nutrition, supporting strong root activity. Some light defoliation could help airflow under the canopy and direct energy into the developing tops. If conditions stay stable, this plant should be able to bounce back and continue filling the space effectively. Ive got a little Problem with watering , she needs some time to recover

The plants are slowly going to flowering stage, the tallest is about 43cm the other 2x35cm and 1x22cm. I have got this “RAW” microbes for the flowering stage but I am not sure if I can or should use it, any advice is appreciated.

Mild defoliation throughout this week. Flush imminent so will leave the remaining fans as nute banks. Next run with these genetics I'll be running a monstercropped clone under this scrog and will go heavier with the defoliation earlier on. I was advised this on here this grow and did a bit but have learned I need more! Forever learning. Looks like it's gonna be an epic harvest. These girls smell absolutely dank. Testament to the quality of these Madame Grow Fertilisers. Harvest just get better every time! Also big shout out to my bro at NatureDelight.co.uk providing some awesome organics to add into the grow schedule. Used The Active Sugar Boost all through flower at 3ml per litre this run and I think the results speak for themselves. I cannot implore you guys enough to go check this stuff out. It's unique and you wont find better customer service. Lots of vids and content this week as we all love bud shots <3

My OG Kush is a contender for the biggest plant in the tent, tied for second place! It's got an amazing structure with perfectly spaced nodes and it's stacking up beautifully. This plant is a beast, and I'm expecting a huge yield of those classic OG Kush buds. It's got that unmistakable OG aroma – earthy and pungent with hints of citrus and spice. This one's gonna be a knockout This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

This lady got a good lust for life🌲, I've topped her earlier this week and she keeps shooting out new ones like it's nothing. I made a little peak to see how I handle this lady💚👨‍🌾. Still only water and sometimes adding some Aptus 🌊💦

22/10 - 10l, Nute water top up. 1.5ml CalMag, 1.5ml Grow, 15ml Bloom. 23/10 - Ph raised. 10l water top up. Seems shes just almost doubled her water uptake overnight. Bit of defoliation. Next time Im getting a bigger tent. Its an absolute bastard to get to anything underneath or at the back at the moment, but she seems to be bulking up. Just noticed a tiny brand new sprout right at the base of the plant. Dunno if I should chop or let nature find its way! 25/10 - 10l water top up.

. FIRST DAYS ------------- New week, new diet The girls are getting 3+3ml of Grow A+B, and still 2ml of Voodoo. Instead of 3 waterings of 1L, we are now doing 3 x 3L. One of the girls has some minor burns, so I am keeping a close eye on that. An excess of nutrients seems unlikely to me, but I will see in a few days after this increase. MIDWEEK ----------- It's probably not just the Voodoo, but my girls have grown a lot this week. I think they like this little juice 😉The root system still has some work to fill the 15L of coco, but things are going well. As for the small burns on the leaves, I think it's due to heat and/or wind stress: the temperature frequently rose to +35°C and the leaves were shaken by my fans, which were directed straight at them. I increased the speed of my filter and placed the fans facing the sides of the tent while increasing the air flow; we're back to an average of 30°C. To be continued. But most importantly, the girls have developed 4-5 nodes... so it's training time! 👍 I know what many people think about topping autos, but I disagree; it clearly has the advantage of giving the plant an airy structure that is easy to control and produces denser buds when combined with mainlining and light lollipopping. My goal: a 6-branch structure, which may eventually develop a few side branches. To achieve this, two toppings a week apart and some serious LST are needed. I'll try to film the whole process, training sess by training sess, and post the results here in a few weeks. I'll also increase the nutrients to their final dose next week (4+4ml grow) and switch from Voodoo to B-52 (2ml). more vids ? 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtAGX0oCBY92aj3VJCG5q-Q

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. I like to flush. I find I have better tasting product when the curing is over if I flush. I gave the last of her food yesterday and will just water with water till the end. The buds look huge and they have some weight to them too. The smell is wonderful. Sweet vanilla with a hint of berries. I found some bud rot on one of the other plants in this greenhouse and got rid of it quickly. I try to do a quick sweep/search a couple of times a day now. There is some dense, heavy buds in here. I turned the fans up a bit to keep the air moving around the buds. I see some are lying down. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

4/15/25 This plant is blowing my freaking mind. Long stacked colas. Even the lower buds are plumping up like golf balls. This is an exceptional plant so far. Shes starting to show the classic "sherbert" purple that ive noticed shows up with anything that has sunset sherbert in the lineage. Some of the leaves are starting to fade slightly and the purple is coming in. The rs11 that this seed came from, produced the most from a single plant out of all plants ive grown and trained and kept that small. She yielded 3.5 ounces or a 1/4lb of top nugs from a plant that was only about 18 inches tall and vegged for 6 weeks before flip. Once i start to clear out all of the fan leaves later on in flower, its just going to be buds running the length of the stems 4/18/25 I really believe this may be a keeper. She is absolutely stunning. Just everything is perfect. She has super long stacking of buds up and down the stems. Im actually super stoked to see how she finishes up. One of the craziest parts is that shes in a plastic 2 or 3 gallon pot and this plant is going to yield insane.

This week was a little rocky. Two girls on the outer edges are good, but the middle one is drooping and foxtailing already. It's weird because my middle plant was larfy last run as well. I might push her to the corner and let her do her thing with less attention... because I just got a photoperiod runtz clone that's gonna need some space and perhaps its own light. LST seems to be going well for the other two though. Sometimes with autos, it's just a genetic thing. They can be temperamental girls sometimes.
