Going to yield POUNDs off this girl!! 12/19/23-- Update: Shogun is a big girl- for an INDOOR grow!. She's 3ft tall, and still shows vertical growth! Considering I did not veg long. Shogun popped up out of soil on Oct 4th 2023, and she was switched to flower same day & time as my Royal Dwarf (aka Itty-Bitty) they've both been on 12/12 for over a month now. Itty-Bittyis an Autoflower, and Shogun is a photoperiod. I can see now the difference between Autos& fotos in growth &bud development, Shoguns trichomes have not appeared yet! She's definitely going to be in the flower stage for a few more weeks, perhaps another month? As I said She's in middle of flowering and still showing vertical growth, and to measure HER I use a yard stick now lol I think she's my favorite, along with the Cookies gelato (but don't tell my other plants!)

2/1/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 1 I have 21 weeks until final photo is do.. I took 3 seeds out of cold storage and will let them get to room temp for the next 48 hours before I go with Glass of water for germination. I have 3 beans because I will start from the very beginning helping ensure I present the best Pheno. This is going to be a fun one.. I am a few days away from being able to clear my tent out for this run.. I have a breeding run in right now and the Seeds are a few days away from being mature enough for me to take down the girls. Once I get them down I will need to get my tent cleaned up and turned over right away. This is going to be close, I will have to time them to the water and into the tray at the right time.. because I will need to get lighting on them right away.. I have my 2X2 and my light ready incase I need to hold them in the cloning machine if the others are not done in the next few days.. Glad I have options that can stretch me out for a week or 2 to give me a little more time. 2/2/2024- Pre-Germination Activities Day 2 I checked on my breeding run to see how close the seeds are and if the tent is ready for me to clear and clean but alas I am still going to need a few days. I setup the emergency 2X2 and that should give me 2-3 weeks. The plan is to still wait one more day to allow the beans to warm up to room temp and then drop them in Water sometime tomorrow. Form my Emergency 2X2 I have the following: 4" inline fan and carbon filter Fan VS-2000 light 2/3/2024- Germination Activities Day 0 - Dropped the Beans in.. Today is 0 day.. Go.. Go .. Go.. 2/4/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-1 - Checked in on them this morning and no tap roots yet.. covered them back up and back in to the closet they went. I setup the Root Riots and the Seed tray for them. I Ensured my water that I was soaking the root riots in was PHed to 5.8 and I used RO water. Afternoon Update: Checked on my Breeders and they are done. I started to harvest them, I took down the one I had reversed with STS and I took down the Black African Magic- All but one bud, I wanted to get some pics of that one today. I was only able to get 2lbs into the Cannatrol because I had to be very careful to keep the bud from the plant that was treated with the STS separated from the other seeded bud that was pollenated from the plant I reversed. Cannatrol could have held an additional 2oz of wet but not today. Ideally I need 1 more Cannatrol so I can take an entire Tent, but will figure that out. I put an additional 1.5lbs into the freezer to wait it's turn into the Cannatrol, I would have left it on the plant and taken it in 4 days when the dry cycle gets done but wasn't sure how much 2.2 lbs was equivalent to chopped and wet trimmed. 2/5/2024- Germination Activities Day 0-2 - Checked in on them this morning and 2 of them have very small tap roots out.. one still doesn't going to give them some more time. I will check in on them this evening and see if they are more open if so I will transfer the ones that are ready to their medium and seed tray. 2/6/2024- Planting Day TRUE Germination Day 0- Checked in on them this morning and all 3 of them have tap roots out. I broke the bottom of the tap root for #1 which was the biggest.. pretty sad.. I hope she survives.. I tried to be careful it just snapped off when I was trying to get it in the root riot right. Other than that all three are now in their in-between home in the 2X2 while if finish clearing and cleaning out their forever homes. 2/7/2024- Germination Day 1- Checked in on them and no surprise no sprouts yet. Sprayed the dome to moist it and light spray to the tops of the Root Riots. 2/8/2024- Germination Day 2- #3 is popped and it looks like #2 will be popped by this evening.. I got my second Cannatrol today so now I can take down the rest of the tent and get it into the dry/cure. 2/9/2024- Germination Day 3- #2 is popped as well.. so I have #2 and #3 up and still waiting to see on #1 but that might be a loss since I accidently broke off some of the Tap root when transplanting. 2/10/2024- Germination Day 4- #1 has Popped... We have ignition on all 3.. YAY!! I finished clean up and install of RDWC system, this time was unique the back left buckets 3 inch pipe wasn't seated correctly so I had to clean up about 12 gallons of water all of the floor. I also had two leaks coming from one of the Waterfall return junctions, this is why I do a full pressure test before I put anything in. I will continue to monitor it through tomorrow to ensure that I am good to go and then I will finish setting up the baskets and prepping the water to be ready for the ladies planting day!!! 2/11/2024- Germination Day 5- #1 Of course is going to be my trouble plant.. No matter what If she lives through planting in the system and making it, I think I might not cull her at all regardless, she has been such a problem, makes me wonder if she will be super worth it towards the end.. We will see as we go through this grow, but #1 has a piece of the shell on the leaves, Other than that I set up a new thing I have been doing since last grow converting my Baskets into Sure plants so I can see exactly where the water is when I plant them and ensure I have the water up high enough that they are able to access it and grow but not too high were they are drowning. 2/12/2024- Germination Day 6- Everything seems to be going good.. will just keep them moist and let the roots grow for a few more days before I transplant to forever home. 2/13/2024 - Germination Day 7- Just keeping them Moist. 2/14/2024 - Germination Day 8 - Planting day.. they are now in the system.. :-)I had to fill the water to the bottom of the basket where I could see water on the bottom rocks and just coming up where I had created my whole/ sure plant. 2/15/2024 - Germination Day 9- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water. I ensured the PH is right at 5.98-6.02 range. 2/16/2024 - Germination Day 10- Top fed just a little to keep them moist and encourage root growth towards the water.

1/8/2024: so far the grow is not off to a great start. The browning that started on the cotyledon has spread to the other leaves and her growth has definitely slowed a bit. I used some water that sat out for a few days, so that may have been the issue, but I'm not sure why that would cause a problem. The ph was at 6.2. I also foiler fed them with some Tweetmint, which i think is the issue. I may hav3 not diluted it enough, causing the buring. I'm laying off anymore IPM until the olants bounce back. I also turned the lights down until i can get the plants back on track. It may just be the soil is too hot, but I have other plants in different soil that are showing the same symptoms, so it makes me think it's not the soil. I'm not giving up yet, but if things don't improve soon, I may just pop a new seed. This is my biggest issue with auto flowers. If the grow isn't perfect I could end up stunting the plant too much. I guess we will find out. 1/10/2024: Day 10 - the new growth is coming in healthy. I'm pretty sure the foiler spay I used last week is what caused the issue. I went back and realized I used way more of the concentrate than I should have, which likely burned the leaves. Let's hope that is the only mistake I make on this grow and it doesn't stunt the plant too much. 1/14/2024 - Day 14: she is looking so much better. All the new growth is as healthy as can be. I added a new light today. Replaced the Spider Farmer SF2000 with the AC Infinity Ionboard S44. I originally had the S44 in my 4x4, but recently bought a light with more Watts and better coverage for the 4x4. The S44 is probably overkill for the 2x4, but it fit, so I figured I'd give it a try. Only have it on at 60% at the moment and I'm getting about 500 ppfd, with a DLI of 30. Dropped the light cycle down to 18 on and 6 off as well. I have some photo period plants in the 2x4 as well, and I wanted to shift them to 18/6, so the auto is going along for the ride.

🌿 Grow-Tagebuch – Woche 4: Struktur, Selektion & Stabilisierung 📅 Zeitraum: KW 44 - 04.10.25-11.10.25 Phase: Mittlere Vegetation 📍 Setup: Indoor-Growtent mit LED-Beleuchtung, reflektierenden Wänden, aktiver Luftzirkulation, 20+ beschriftete Töpfe 🔍 Wochenüberblick Wuchsverhalten: Die Pflanzen zeigen nun deutlich differenzierte Phänotypen. Einige Strains entwickeln kräftige Haupttriebe und eine kompakte Blattstruktur. Andere zeigen eine leichte Streckung – hier wurde die Lichtdistanz angepasst. Pflege & Klima: Temperatur: konstant bei 23–24 °C Luftfeuchtigkeit: gesenkt auf ~50 % zur Vorbereitung auf Vorblüte Lichtintensität: leicht erhöht auf ~400 PPFD Luftzirkulation: Ventilator läuft 24/7, leichte Rotation der Pflanzen zur Gleichverteilung Nährstoffmanagement: Vegi-Dünger wurde auf EC ~1.2 erhöht. CalMag wird weiterhin punktuell eingesetzt. Keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffmangel oder Überdüngung – Blätter sind sattgrün, keine Verfärbungen oder Kräuselungen. 📚 Lernimpuls der Woche „Jetzt beginnt die Architektur der Pflanze – wer formt, gewinnt.“ Die vierte Woche ist ideal für Low Stress Training (LST), Topping oder leichtes Defoliieren. Ziel ist es, die Energieverteilung zu optimieren und Licht gleichmäßig auf alle Triebe zu bringen. Tipp: Beim Topping immer auf die dritte bis fünfte Internodie achten – dort ist die Pflanze stabil genug und reagiert mit kräftigem Seitentrieb.

She only grew 2cm this week so that means she is is full flower mode. Look how much the trichomes have increased this week! I've never grown a CBD strain before, is this what they do? 😃 Minimal input from me this week. Just watering.

Always cool to see what old school strains are all about. If there’s something experience has taught me is that classics are classics for a reason, and that’s the theme of this cycle. The germination was exceptionally fast, followed by the development of a thick stalk and huge broad leafs, this Gorilla surely started strong. Humidity and temperature kept fairly high throughout the week (70%/ 24°C), with regular misting, which they love! So far so good, feels like a happy and healthy seedling. Let’s see what she’s got 💪🌱

Kweekverslag Week 3: Cheese van Seeds Genetics Datum: 18 maart 2025 Het is weer tijd voor een kweekverslag, en dit keer over mijn Cheese-plant van Seeds Genetics! Week 3 is voorbij, en het is geweldig om te zien hoe deze soort zich ontwikkelt. Laten we eens kijken naar de details van deze spannende week. Groei en Ontwikkeling: In week 3 is mijn Cheese-plant flink aan het groeien! De bladeren zijn robuust en hebben een heldergroene kleur die doet denken aan een weelderig weiland. De internodes beginnen mooi te verlengen, en ik zie al enkele takken zich ontwikkelen die veelbelovend zijn voor een goede opbrengst. Het is echt een plezier om naar te kijken terwijl de plant zich zo goed ontwikkelt. Voeding: Ik heb de voedingsstoffen zorgvuldig afgestemd op de behoeften van de plant. Deze week heb ik een combinatie van stikstofrijke en kaliumrijke meststoffen gebruikt om zowel de vegetatieve groei als de bloei te stimuleren. De Cheese-plant lijkt deze mix te waarderen, want de bladeren stralen gezondheid uit en zijn stevig. Licht en Temperatuur: De lichtcyclus blijft op 18 uur licht en 6 uur duisternis, wat optimaal lijkt voor deze soort. De temperaturen variëren tussen de 21-24°C, wat ideaal is. De luchtvochtigheid heb ik rond de 52% gehouden, wat perfect lijkt voor de groei en voorkomt dat de plant uitdroogt. Training: Ik heb deze week ook begonnen met low-stress training (LST) om de takken in bedwang te houden en meer licht naar de lagere delen van de plant te laten komen. Het is ongelooflijk om te zien hoe Cheese zich aanpast aan de training. De takken zijn al begonnen te groeien, en de naastliggende scheuten krijgen ook meer kans om zich te ontwikkelen. Gezondheidscheck: Tot nu toe is alles gezond en in topconditie! Er zijn geen tekenen van plagen of ziekten, en de bladeren zijn vrij van vlekken of andere afwijkingen. Ik controleer regelmatig op eventuele problemen en zorg ervoor dat ik de plant goed water geef. Conclusie: Al met al was week 3 een fantastische periode voor mijn Cheese-plant. De groei is indrukwekkend, de geur begint zich te ontwikkelen, en de plant voelt sterk aan. Ik ben benieuwd naar wat de komende weken zullen brengen en kijk ernaar uit om meer updates te geven! Tot volgende week! 🧀🌱

This week beacause of the difficulty in controling the water temperatures and tent humidity we had early signs of pythium in the auto flower. So i treated it with one hour of 8ml per liter of H2O2 and changed the reservoir for new nutes and 0.5ml/L of H2O2, instead of great white. Besides that, everything's ok and the other 2 plants are starting to root. If the others start to show signs of root rot as well, ill change the whole grow from great white to H2O2. The Apple&Bazookiez showed signs from the beginning of a mutation. Have one strange looking leaf and 3/4 branch of shoots on the top, without any damaging, fimming or topping. Good week, good grows

I am so glad I decided to do some low stress training!! After that one feeding at the end of last week the plant truly bounced back and showed no more signs of deficiency problems.. 😅 Because I started some early LST I began to see the much smaller nodes develop over this week and it started to give me hope lmao. There was not only a difference in the vibrancy of the green leaves but there was also a difference in the texture of the leaves as well! The ones that were damaged were thicker and more rough, while the new healthy leaves were much softer! For now I will leave some of the damaged leaves on because I don't want to strip her too early but periodically over the next couple of weeks I am going to start pruning and training her more (especially since she's a keeper). I also went ahead and started giving my girl a foliar spray feeding of diluted garlic & onion peel water which I plan on continuing with while in veg.

Растениям от IZI осталось дней 7. Анубису дней 10-14, CloudWalker'у от двух недель, максимум 3, фенотип сативный + поздний зацвет (почти на неделю позже) Как тут внести новые удобрения? Добавить его в базу. Хоп-хей спамеры, кто зарабатывает хуй знает сколько в час? Общий вид не возможен - сломалась камера, только макро.

A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth. It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did. The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow. I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet. On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

I figured I’d rock a decent update now what I don’t have anymore plants on the go. These were neglected from the start, although they seem to be making some pretty sweet buds. Tricombs are increasing, and starting to get cloudy. This is going to be my first sativa harvest so hopefully it turns out ok. I went a bit hard on the nutes the other day, I may have to give them a flush. The leaves are starting to curl and get brown. I’ll see how it looks in a few days. That’s it for this week, now get out there and enjoy the last of summer. Cheers.
