NOTES:
Keeping the pH between 5,8-6,0 and EC at around 1,4-1,6 depending on system. EC at 1,5 seems to be optimal and my measurements are staying pretty steady at that level. Humidity is lowered to around 50% if I can.
The tops are now at around 45-60cm height from the soil.
Continuing the last heavier defoliation/pruning process that I started yesterday at the end of 2nd flowering week. I saw no signs of mold or any other issues as I went through the plants.
After this week I'm going to change the nutrient solutions on the tanks and fill them with fresh nutrients with minor changes: Dropping the amount of Grow from 1,5ml to 0,5ml and increasing the amount of Bloom from 1,5ml to 2,5ml. After the change I'm only going to refill the tanks without adding any Grow and will instead increase the amount of Bloom to 3ml. Propably a one more change of fresh nutrients until flushing with Final Solution prior harvesting.
Day64 (19.12.)
Some more defoliation focusing on the upper growth revealing bud sites below them and keeping off the moisture. Already got a trash bag almost full of leaves since they've been pretty bushy plants on average.
Day65 (20.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process.
Day66 (21.12.)
Continuing the last defoliation process, pretty satisfied with the results so far. Light penetration and airflow have increased greatly so I don't have to worry that much about humidity or possible mold any longer.
Each strain has started flowering, all plants are females and buds have started to develop. Defoliating didn't seem to stress the plants as much as I thought it would.
Day67 (22.12.)
Day68 (23.12.)
Refilled and added some nutrients with a stronger Bloom/Grow -ratio (~4:1) and left my girls to enjoy the Christmas Holidays as I did. I'll be gone for around three days, after that I'll change to new fresh nutrients as I mentioned before.
One Ayahuasca Purple seems to be ahead of others, and a few other ones have clearly started to develop some buds too, rest of the plants are following closely behind. Each strain has some truly astonishing individuals, and I think Ayahuasca's have shown most variety between different plants. Overall everything looks pretty good I think. Hopefully can say the same after a couple of days as I come back.
Happy holidays everyone!
Day69 (24.12.)
Day70 (25.12.)
I added another Led light to my tent just before the lights turned off. Everything looks amazing!

Week 4 and we're watching the grass grow. As Trichomes start to develop upon touch I smell a strong lemony limey smell, best way to describe it is a strong lemon Cleaner scent, it is a Very pleasant scent actually. The foliage is starting to fill back in a bit after the Defoliation. The free seed Pheno is doing amazing and handled and has recovered from the Defoliation quite well as well as the other phenos. The second larger Pheno #2 I've noticed in the past week some purpling of the stem and it's doesn't seem to have as fast growth as Pheno 4. I don't know if the purple is being caused by the Defoliation or if it due to the temp drop when lights are off which would be an average of about 68 degrees. I will continue to monitor to see how it has effected the plant of if it causing and color changes in the buds.

This grow is going to be testing my coco based auto watering setup. The plants will eventually be going into 2.5 gallon airpots which I cut to be very tall and narrow which I hope will give great performance for this grow style. Nutrient solution will be pumped from a 5 gallon bucket to halo-style drip emitters 4 times a day for 5-10 second intervals. I am going to try to use inline flow control knobs to dial in the watering and allow for slight runoff every fertigation.
For lighting I am using my HLG 100 watt lights, one per plant. I am a big fan of these quantum boards, they have given great performance I. The past!
Thanks for reading! 🌱👍
May 13 day 1: the Blackberry breached after germinating in a rapid rooter for 2 days. I am impressed with how quickly this seed popped! It had a stuck seed that was gently removed, and will be falling off the rest of the way shortly.
May 16 day 3: Seedlings planted with their rapid rooters into coco filled seedling bags, and given first nutrients. They are remaining under humidity dome. I have also started running the drip emitters to test them and dial in the amount of runoff. It is also continuing to buffer the coco so the medium will be well prepared for my seedlings when the time comes.
Day 4: the seedlings are doing well so far, so I will keep them domed for a few more inches of growth. Then I will switch to a humidifier to maintain acceptable RH.

Alright! This week is finally done and this will be the last vegetative growth week for the plants. Switching to flower tonight :D
I have done some defoliation and a bit of lollipopping to the 3 plants, I was noticing the shadows where quite dark on the tent floor and the plants where not crazy tall so they needed to be managed, If I was outdoors I would just LST them some more and not worry about any of it but indoors the airflow is tight and it was needed, cleaning up the undercanopy was none negotiable or some bad things would have happened in flower. Mainly molds or worse WPM. I also removed the string supports I has on the plants when they broke from some LST I did a few weeks ago.
In the stripping down of the plants I removed a lot of lower immature growths and took out some immature branches, I have all these sitting in a glass of water and will clone them out for shits and giggles, I think their is about 15 of them or more, maybe I will go and plant them aorund my neighbourhood in municipal planters. Plus now I can work in the topdressings that will be required in the upcoming weeks to keep these plants happy and healthy. Going to continue amending in some of the bokashi in the feedings as well as worm castings as they give off a nice ammount of microbes for the soil. I wish I had some of my LABs for this grow but I did not make any.
The clones from before are doing fine, just did not take any pics of them.
The butterwort is doing a fantastic job of eating up the gnats. I have some nematodes on hand for when its had its fill as I won't want them getting into the flowers as they ripening.
Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

Es wurde getoppt - Die Blüte wurde eingeleitet ... Immer noch keine Zeichen des Geschlechts zu sehen.
Die Speed Queen ist eine sehr starke Indica Pflanze mit großen Blättern.
Es wäre schön , wenn sich die Damen (oder Herren) outen würden ! 😊
Dann hätte ich wieder etwas mehr Platz im Zelt -
Immer noch kein Dünger. Die Rosenerde hat noch genug Power ...

Watering has jumped up to every 2 days ph 6.3-6.8 with 20% runoff
Flower Fuel has been added to AP,GG and ZK watering's.
Lights have been lowered to 24-28 inches.
White Widow just started flower at end of the week. Still waiting on the Cream Cookie.
Doing light Defoliation to expose bud sites to the lights.

So far I've done some LST to get some underbranching to shoot up and grow. Seems to be working. They've got some light feedings of Liquid Seaweed, Molasses, and URB. I've learned you have to feed light on this girl.

Starting week #7 of flower still picking caterpillar, and eggs of leaves, not to serious as we are on top of it.
Starting the week with banana peel tea drench 2 gallons per girl, which is all she will get besides water till harvest.
Still small flushes of pistils coming out I believe she (Hulk) is in final stage of flower (4) lots of orange hairs (pistils) but fresh one coming out daily albeit slower. Hopefully she fatting up in coming weeks.

The Cookie Girls are doing great 😊 Overall, I’m very pleased with the results so far.
At day 8 I stopped tucking the branches and allowed them to grow up. In hindsight, I probably should have kept going for another couple of days. They continued to stretch rapidly all the way up to date 12 or so.
At day 10 I cleaned up some of the small bud sites and leaves that were below the 1st trellis. These sites do not get enough light to make anything good, and take away energy from the main tops as they grow and compete.
At day 12 I decided to add a second trellis net to provide support to the tops that came up so fast. They seem to have stopped their main stretch faze, and are looking happy and healthy now. I’ve continued my water, water, feed schedule and have not seen any cause for concern. The girls are taking a little over a gallon of water every 72 hours at this point.
Humidity is being controlled automatically with my in-line fan and humidifier. RH is set to 57% and temps hover between 77-80 degrees with lights on, and about 70-72 with light off thanks to my furnace being back on for the cooler temps.
The 2x4 5 gallon girl is doing great as well. 😊During the stretch, while I tucked, I snapped more than a couple of tops off, but the plant continues to thrive. She is going to have some great bud, the branch structure is nicely developed with tight node spacing.
I’ve been plucking off all the lower growth, and tucking leaves as they block bud sites. Will be doing a defoliation next week. Happy Gardening 🇨🇦👊❤️

-At the moment there is bad weather but the little ones are getting better and better. Stand in the mini greenhouse in the evening, as long as it is dry and the sun comes out outdoors.👨🏽🌾
-Zurzeit ist schlechtes Wetter aber die kleinen machen sich immer besser. Stehen abends im Mini Gewächshaus, solange es trocken ist und die Sonne raus kommt im Freien.👨🏽🌾

For her last week or so she had to move, as i needed the other tent. The temperature and humidity fall over the last days. On day 96 it looks like she can be harvested the next days as first amber trichomes on the side buds have appeared. Probably she will be chopped this weekend.
She got very frosty and looks liked powdered with flour.

------------------------
HARVEST 1:
------------------------
Harvested this girl because she stopped eating and was drinking less water, and the weird flowers, so she was finishing, and im looking for something psycoactive, so the trichs are cloudy too... I expected less flowers, but there are some material behind leaves.
The smoke is really nice flavored, and it hits you with psychoactivity. Despite the production and weird buds it is really tasty and gets you in a really nice sativa mood.
The flavor would be like: An apple with Gasoline touches (i suppose its because of the Sour Diesel heritage)
15 gr.
------------------------
HARVEST 2:
------------------------
This plant was harvested in the optimal point to me, with cloudy trichs and a nice production. She really added weigth in the last weeks.
The smell is really like the original Lemon, has deep citrous notes.
Taste is very good, more powerful than the smell(Will complete this in a couple months when properly cured in jars).
I like the psychoactivity, its a nice day smoke, and a tasty one.
Overall a very good plant, i love the therpene profile (citrous/fruity), it is so refreshing when you smell the citrous flavour.
90 gr.

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!

Finally some bud development...
The kriticals are not enjoying the high EC level... but that's life...😏
Been difficult to low the Hr level, too much moister in the air by here! Living beside the sea in winter its not easy!
Just hope to get things straight...🙏

Update 7 weeks old
The girls turned seven weeks Friday and the growth has seemed to finally stop. Little buds are getting bigger. Im doing a little experiment with them to see if i can dial in the nutrients strength. They've been getting 1500 ppm up until yesterday. I upped the feed to 2500 ppm 5 ec. I want my run off ppm to be about even. The run off for 2500 was 1400. I'll back off the first sign of nute burn. Feeding twice a day. I feel i need three. But ya know. Laziness.
Considering eliminating the 4 hr dark period and running them at 24 hrs.. will probably implement that after tonight.
Supercropping helped alot with my canopy and seems to be promoting growth.
