(12/23-12/29, days 56 to 62) Hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I will try to add a video and black back or cover pics by end of week every week. Week 6 Notes & Observations: No new issues to note, no mites found after the first and I have used Spinosad twice now just in case. P2 is getting stressed over ties and no ring, so I decided they will both go on a ring after i broke another branch without realizing it. Found it the next day and then topped the other side to gain two colas there - still 8 set but with varied start time's and points. Still looking to flip around new year’s day. Day 58 (last feed was day 55) Tested and Calibrated my ph pens. Starting weight from each pot was 18 lbs and 8 oz, this time P1 weighed 12lbs 1oz. (12lbs 10oz before last feed) and P2 weighed 11lbs 8oz before feed (11lbs 8oz before last feed). Each plant got 1.5 gallons of purified water with a mix of Veg/Bloom Mix concentrates - 300ppm Veg Mix (recipe on week 2) and 190ppm Bloom Mix (recipe on week 5) with 1.5ml of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) . The ph on this feed was balanced to 6.75ph (6.25 last time). After feed this time, P1 weighed 21lbs 5oz and P2 also weighed 21lbs 11oz (both weighed 20lbs 9oz after last feed). I got ~8 cups of runoff on P1 and 10 cups on P2 this time (8 cups of runoff on P1 and 8 cups on P2 after last feed). Runoff for P1 ph was 6.42 with 970ppm (6.36 with 1110ppm last feed) and P2 was 6.41 with 980ppm ( 6.35 with 1170ppm last feed). no top soil tests this time as ph is mostly showing no issues - next feed will be 1.5 gallons of de-chlorinated water and 6.5 to 6.75ph again - I dont see any issues from feed or training.

Week twenty-two is officially done on the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This week is a turning point, marking the end of vegetative growth and the start of the flowering transition. I decided to switch the light cycle to twelve-twelve. Initially, the plan was to wait for a stronger recovery, but the reality is simple: it wasn’t happening. The plant was given roughly three full weeks to acclimate after stress, and the response stayed limited. Rather than staying stuck in an endless waiting phase, I chose to move forward. This means accepting that flowering may not be extremely vigorous or high-energy. That’s fine. This run is also about observation, learning, and adapting. Flowering was initiated gently, at around three hundred PPFD, to avoid adding more stress. At the same time, I switched the nutrient program to Athena bloom and adjusted the recipe accordingly. The plant has now been under flowering conditions for about twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Over the coming week, I expect to see the first signs of stretch. It’s a bit frustrating, because structurally the plant was doing really well. The LST work created a clean, balanced canopy, and the potential was clearly there. Now the focus is simple. No rushing. No over-correction. Just letting the plant transition naturally into flower and observing how she reacts. Next week will officially mark the first true week of flowering. From there, we’ll reassess posture, stretch, and overall vitality. For now, the plant is left alone to settle into its new rhythm. That’s it for week twenty-two. See you next week.

Its beginning to look like something. Buds are forming and they look to be doing good. There is ants in B’s pot. Can I leave them? Thanks for looking on my diary 😊 And remember.. Dont drink and drive. Smoke and fly.

They're super happy adjusting to the new tent and 5 gallon containers. It's been 2 weeks since I first moved them in here and so I flipped them today. So 3 weeks from now we should be seeing buds :) I also raised the light about 10-12 cm to hopefully encourage more vertical growth. I plan on lollipopping them in about a week or so, too. Cover crop is sprouting so that's a great sign also.

This is really the day when I am cutting the plants down. I don't want to fill out the harvest section until I have all the info needed to do it. I find the way it is set up on here to be kind of silly... Today is day 95 since these girls popped and stuck their heads out of the soil. I'm blown away with the size of these plants considering their age. I'm going to contribute the majority of this success to the CO2 gas I use. I filled out my tank 4 times for a total of 100 dollars .. the 4th tank I bought is still full and I'll be able to use it on my next grow. These buds and colas are extremely dense and packed with resin. They are giving off a really deep and complex smell. Kind of like a fruity earth mixed with skunk. I plan on drying at temperatures between 62 and 68 deg. fahrenheit with humidity about 55%. Once the smaller branches snap completely and the buds don't come off 'stringy' then I will move on to the next step of curing. For this I use Grove bags and boveda humidity packs (62% RH). I'm expecting at least 8 oz off of each plant and I do intend to press some with my resin press

Starting off the 5th week of flower. Buds seem to be filling out well. Day32F - some minor trimming of larger leaves blocking bus sites. Watering 2L about every 3 days. Wish I could lift the pots. Add recharge about once a week. Final feeding will be Gaia green 284 bloom treating the plants as 2 or 2.5 gallon rather than 5 since pots are over sized. maybe add some high phos bat guano and a little worm casting and kelp. All top dressed

Just got back from summer holidays. Start flowering must be a couple of days ago started. She managed well during my 3 weeks out. It didn't rain for a single day during that time. They didn't receive water or any feeding. They will get a last foliar spray.

The week starts Monday, Dec-9 in vegetative stage. Started lowering the distance from the light to 45cm (18") over the coming week. The extraction fan on its lowest setting is too strong for the current growth environment so the humidity levels have been rather low (35% -> 50%). An attempt to stop/start the fan with 30min intervals caused both temp and humidity levels to swing wildly. The environment inside the tent is now stable, albeit low temp and humidity levels since the fan has been left to run continuously. Added a large tray of water with an aquarium heater warming it to raise the humidity level inside the grow tent. And added a large hanging wet towel. Both methods helped. The plant is recovering very well and stretching in its growth. The side branches are reaching out to the light. Starting to increase the frequency of fertigation to daily as the plant seems to be sucking up water/nutrients well. Run-off was measured at EC 0.94 and pH 6.2. Topping at 5th node - start of LBH’s Famous ScrOG Tutorial. Cut the stem above the 4th node. The topping should probably have been done a few days ago but I wanted to see the plant recover first.

I watered them with 250ml and 400uS/cm each. I use the photone app to meassure the luminosity and they are receiving 7000lux aprox. They are all doing well. Although Juana has grown more than de others, they all look pretty happy so far. I plan to increase the light intensity at the end of this week since they won´t be babies anymore sooner than later. Today 22 is second week last day and they are starting to grow noticeably each day. This week I raised the EC to 400uS/cm and watered the plants with 250ml, so I just had to water them again with plain ph balanced water one more time during the week and that was practically it with watering. I also raised luminosity by switching 2 more LED bulbs and getting them all closer to the canopi, about 50cm. that is about 10000 lux in the meter I still spray them all day with ph balanced water, maybe next week I'll spray them with a little bit of Algafort, that can be used in foliar spraying. Humidity stayed at +-58% the last 2 days even with the little humidifier and me spraying them all day. I'm trying to raise RHs so next week I'm planning to lower de temp to 22-23 °C hoping humidity raises more naturally. Next week we also will start with a little of CO2 that is always well recieved.

Just water as they are very small , light is a 100w Samsung led light for the first week then I will switch to the Zeus 465w Compact pro. I have repotted the plants now the seeds have popped, they are in 2 litre pots now. As soon as the toots hot the bottom of the pots I will put them in my autopots system. I have tried adding a layer of perlite on top of the bAc soil. To try and stop any bugs getting into my soil and also reflect the light back.

Los Riegos con abono son alternados, ay semanas que riego 4 días y otras de 3 días, Los riegos con bnzym y prosilicate los realizo a parte del resto de abonos, en esos días que alterno. The irrigations with fertilizer are alternating, ay weeks that I irrigate 4 days and others of 3 days, the irrigations with bnzym and prosilicate I realize them to part of the rest of installments, in those days that alternate.

Hello again. Welcome to Week 6 or 7 😊 Buds are riping and starting to give a good smell. Minor problems with some caterpillars but the plant didn't take lot of damage, I guess I was lucky too spot it soon enough. Temperatures are far from ideal but she looks like she can handle it. It's kinda like 22° Celsius in a normal room. Barely sunlight and for fresh air she stands at an open door. No idea about the air humidity but It rains a lot outside😂 no chances on mold this way. With al the things I did wrong I'm pretty sure this is a very resistant strain. Some yellowing fan leaves but totally normal in this stage. It is what it is, I will be happy if I have something good to smoke from her. 2L water with 7ml Alga Bloom and 2ml Green Sensation was given. The soil was pretty dry and only a little bit of water went out on the bottom. Thinking this will be one of the last waterings with nutrients. Wanna be sure too flush soon enough since my Orange Bud last year only had one week of flushing. Any thoughts on that subject? Give me some advice. Happy growing friends 😉
