If you do not often cut off the weeds around your plants, then they begin to interfere with them and do not allow light to pass

This week I've only been doing LST and minimal defoliation. Next week I'll be doing Bruce Banner topping, since it's a backlog, I'll be doing some experiments on it. I also used on one bush the training method - super cropping (video).

keep forgetting i have this diary going and keep forgetting to keep it updated. these have just been topped dressed and are loving the environment. just starting on the second week of flower.

Into week 4 stretch now complete bud sites now forming and swelling all along the top shelf as I planned no defoliation was required this is my own advanced growing method using my own invention scrog/spacers a personalized spacer was made to fit the plant this is what gives you the structure and shape to work from{idea required}. for more information on scrog/spacers contact us??

Growing the famous Alien OG by The Cali Connection, highly recommended, not just the strain but the Breeder themselves. I will be putting alot more effort into my diaries and try to provide you guys as much detail as possible all the way until harvest. Any questions guys just ask Thanks & Happy Growing 💚👍🏾🌱

Flush week 1 = Dragon force Smells dark and oily

WEEK 12 - Both girls looks amazing covered in crystals 9L Pot is reciving the Final Part (Ripen) nuts for past 7 days, 3 more days and 3 days flush and harvest 12L Pot is getting there, today start I giving the Final Part Nuts (Ripen) and will harvest in 1.5 week

Week 5 for the Critical and Sour Ds and Week 4 for the Lemon Pie, Blackberry and Gorilla Zkittlez. Fed 2 tbl of Coast of Maine, Stonington Plant Food at the beginning of Week 5 and end of 4 for the younger plants.

Gonna a bit more NITROGEN!☘️

Ya vamos viendo bonitas flores 🌼

Day 14 of flower and all 4 plants have stretched over a foot in the last week. Should start putting all of their energy into flowering now. Looking really good so far. Really, really good.

Welcome to (probably) the Last week of flowering 😁

[Day 10] 7/07/21 periodically playing various music and nature sounds, adding more crystals and just watching the plants grow...👽 [Day 11] 7/09/21 lowered the lights from 30" to 24" - 21,000 lux [Day 12] 7/10/21 lowered the lights from 24" to 14" - 35,000 lux

Zkittlez Yield: 39.4 Smell: 7/10 - sweet, candy, berry, gassy, piney hints Bag appeal: 6.5/10 - slightly leafy/stemy Crystal coverage: 7.5/10 - very impressed Ash: 8/10 - thick, uniform white ashes Fire holding: 8/10 - stays lit for seconds Smoke: 7.5/10 - taste is decent, needs curing High: 7/10 - indica dom Comment: looks nice, smells nice, tastes nice, burns great but smalls didn’t fill out. 51.5/70 = 73% 👍🔥

Week 9: Late Flowering and Ripening Signs of Maturity As we enter week 9, the plants are well into the late flowering stage, with the buds ripening beautifully. The trichomes are becoming more prominent, and there's a noticeable increase in resin production. The aromas are intensifying, making the garden a fragrant delight. The plants are showing clear signs of maturity, indicating that harvest time is approaching. Nutrient and Watering Adjustments To accelerate the ripening process and boost bud production, I'm using FinalPart by Terra Aquatica for Banana Purple Punch and Blue Dream. As from T.A recommended I use it alone with no other nutrients combined. I use it at full dosage but I hope I don't burn them in the end. No risk no fun. However, for Tangie and Gorilla Cookies, I have not changed the nutrient composition, as these plants will likely need another three /four weeks to fully mature. The watering schedule remains consistent, ensuring the plants are hydrated but not overwatered, which is crucial during this delicate phase. Pest Management and Plant Health To combat thrips, I've placed yellow and blue sticky traps around the plants. Fortunately, there have been no further signs of aphid infestation. The plants appear healthy and vigorous, showing no additional pest issues. Individual Plant Observations Blue Dream: Some pistils are starting to change color, and the main bud is becoming denser. The fan leaves are also transitioning from green to yellow, indicating that the plant is drawing nutrients from them. The trichomes are becoming more cloudy. Banana Purple Punch: The plant is experiencing slower growth, with minimal bud expansion. The pistils are changing color, and the buds are developing a beautiful purple hue. The fan leaves are turning yellow as the plant draws nitrogen from them. I’m hoping FinalPart will stimulate a final boost in bud production. Gorilla Cookies: Bud development is also progressing slowly. However, all the large leaves are still green, so I’ll hold off on FinalPart until at least next week. My goal here is to maximize yield. The resin production and aroma are intensifying daily. Tangie: Still in a growth phase, Tangie is a real eye-catcher. While the bud production is underway, the plant may need at least three, possibly even four more weeks to reach full maturity. The resin production and aroma are not yet as advanced as with the other plants, but Tangie looks very vibrant and healthy. Seeking Final Tips and Harvest Advice As we approach the final stages, any tips or advice on maximizing flavor, potency, or overall plant health would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to gear up for the most exciting part of the grow cycle—harvest! Update 27.07: Today, I decided to switch my Gorilla Cookies plant to FinalPart as well. This should give her a boost in trichome production and aroma, and hopefully enhance the flavor too. Tangie is the only plant still on regular bloom nutrients, as she clearly needs another three, maybe even four weeks to fully ripen. Judging by her current growth, she seems poised to yield the most by far.

That’s my first time grow. I got many feelings from planting and made a lot of mistakes.I’m trying to get good buds. Thanks 😊

June 30, 2020 update: Fast Buds Cream Cookies... I have a total of 4 Cream Cookies going right now - 2 outdoors and 2 indoors. All 4 have started to start showing small bud sites in the last week. I still consider this part of the vegetative stage personally. Once I've seen the stretch occur and also see dime sized buds, then I consider the plant to be in flower. The 2 indoors are bigger with more nodes and bushier overall. They are growing on a 19/5 light cycle under a 315w CMH. I feed them all the same regimen of nutrients (Fox Farm Trio at 75% recommended strength). If its raining, the indoor plants may get an extra feeding. We have gotten a lot of (much needed) rain this week so I think I've only fed once in the past week, but they seems to love the fresh rain too. The outdoor plants are 16-20" in height, the indoor are 20-22" in height. I have one indoor and one outdoor plant that both show some discoloration on the leaves. When I look it up it looks most similar to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) and there does not seem like there is much that can be done for TMV. I'm just gonna let them rock and see how they turn out. At this point my prediction is for a larger yield indoors, but I'm hoping for a better flavor and high from the outdoor. Also, I have a separate diary comparing only the Cream Cookies - check it out!!! 😃 Anyone interested in the other girls growing along side of the Cream Cookies can check out the other diary I have going "Dudes Summer Catch All Diary" I'm looking forward to next weeks update, I'm expecting lots of growth and more buds! I may also bend them all over at a 45 degree angle this week. I'll be using LST this time, instead of HST. The HST I performed on the Lemon Cream Kush seemed to be too harsh for her and had me worried for several days afterwards. Thanks for checking in! Please comment, like and feel free to ask any questions!💪
