the girls have grown longer than I expected🤷‍♂️ ... luckily the stretching period is over 🤪... we hope that the flowers will surprise me as well as the stretching😍💚👊

05/19/2020 All going well, have to grow in containers this season, I might be moving before harvest so only veggies in the ground. But all are adjusting well 😊 I will give more details on individual plants shortly #1 is10" tall new growth looks good getting thick. #2 is 11.5" tall #4 is 7" tall but healthy #5 is 16"

La tenda (4x4) è in fioritura da circa 2 settimane e la SF2000 lavora a pieno regime riuscendo a coprire bene e in maniera efficace praticamente ovunque, ho trasferito la Purple OG Punch di SSSC che è l’unica autofiorente e mi stava crescendo troppo in altezza per stare nell altro box e quindi aggiungerò lei in questo diario!😄💥🎬💚 Tutte le Gorilla 🦍 sia di Zamnesia che di RQS sono state defogliate nelle foglie più gialle e con carenze, le 3 piante di Seeds Mafia invece continuano così cercando di recuperare le altre in altezza…ora le Gorilla 🦍 sono tutte a 1.800 EC mentre le 3 di SM sono a 1.600 EC, la PPOG è a 1500 EC. Ci vediamo presto con altri aggiornamenti e grazie di essere passato! Grazie Spider Farmer ancora per questo LED SF2000, questo nuovo modello fa veramente la differenza e le piante crescono in maniera ottimale!!! 💯🙌🌱

Report on week 3 of veg: I lower the RH to 50-55% while the RM stays relatively on the higher range: 27-29C daytime and 18-22 at night. I had nice visual on the 6th node of BB3, Larry Bird and Gelato plants and few cm. to avoid any eventual stem splitting, so i topped them. I guess the Gorilla will be ready for topping by tomorrow. Unfortunately i have to work with hard water so i have to keep constant eye on the water's EC. For this reason and from personal experience i wont increase the nutrients dosage any time before flowering. The high percentage of worm castings is doing wonders and help me a lot with the substrate's maintance. I did some runoff water measurements and end up with the following values: Gorilla had 2.75EC and 6.5pH, Gelato got 2.70/6.6, Larry 2.85/6.7 and BB 2.20/6.9. Substrate pH is 7.0. Once again, I have to say that Sunmaster's Dual Spectrum HPS are indeed super powerful lamps. I added another clip-fan to ensure a nice breeze around the plants. I will follow the general rule of thumb and give the plants 10-14 days to recover from the HST. Once i week i spray the plants with foliar iron-based nutrient solution👊 (Plagron Vita Race). It boosts the photosynthesis, plus it washes and cleans the leaves. P.s. only the Larry Bird is topped on the pictures. I topped other two today, but i didnt want to switch-off the lights in order to take pictures. Peace!

The smell on this lady is absolutely insane. The only way I can describe it is a dank smelling cherry. Trimmed 2 ozs after drying got done and had the whole house smelling. Very impressed with the nose tone and taste of the Cherry Cola and its not even cured yet. Growing this plant has turned me on to the cherry terps and will continue to look for them.

Added the trills ned back, gets to bushy lol end up with a lot of defol, see if I can stretch her out. Getting pretty healthy, if I can get this grounding undercontrol should become a nice plant

This has been one more great week. The girls look good and are starting to head towards the finish line. I lowered the nuts to 1,58EC and they seem to like it like that. I also started using the runoff water to hand water(1,3l per plant, 1.4EC) them both in the morning and in the evening to prevent build-up of salts. I did a big defoliation right at the end of this week, so the lower buds can get more light and to increase air flow. I think 2 more weeks and they're done.

The buds are about 50% denser than my main auto crop. A bowl of wet auto bud might weigh 200 g but the same volume of Hash Bud is 300 g. There are a minimal number of leaves and trimming is the easiest ever. This should be considered a strong commercial plant because it ticks all the boxes: robust, cold tolerant, potent, fast, big, and easy cloning and processing. I’m looking forward to making hash in a few weeks.

Update- Fri 14th May Week has been ok but I've not been there as much so it'll be nice to see them today. It looked gorgeous last time there are so many bud sticks popping up from the curly FAT main lines . UPDATE - TUESDAY 18th May All has been going well as you can see from the photos. The only problem is that I have two TOTALLY different Spectrum lights in there so I have to keep switching them over to even the plant out! I’m trying to come up with a better solution but I don’t know if I will be able to afford my cabling, adaptors and all the little bits I need to build my 10 light COB.

It's Booming 💥 🏆

This week has been a super explosive week for growth! The girls flipped to flower and are stretching like crazy. Started showing signs of flower on Thursday this past week so when time for the nutrient and water change, I went ahead and switched over to bloom nutrients and put my trellis net up to prepare for the stretch and boy am I glad I did. Every morning I have been checking and topping off the res with either RO water or mixed nutrients, I have kinda been alternating between just water and nutrients, just watching the plants and letting them tell me. Everything is looking super healthy and going well. I may end up adding another trellis net Friday with the nutrient change if the stretching continues. It seems these girls are legitimately growing about 2-3 inches a day. Its crazy! Environment continues to stay in check, humidty is getting a little high, but should be able to bring it down with the dehumidifier in the lung room. I have been plucking a few leaves here and there, like very minimal, just to get some penetration to the lower sites and see if we can get them to stretch up through the net. Once the stretch finishes, I think anything that didnt make it up will be removed so that we can focus the growth to the top bud sites. Still learning, but that is the plan for now. Other than that, going to continue as planned and excited to watch these girls flower! As always any tips, comments, and recommendations always welcome and appreciated!

Week one of vegetative growth for Pineapple Upside Down – Round 2, from Humboldt Seed Company. I’ll be straight: the start wasn’t smooth, again. Even keeping things “simple,” I managed to stress the seedling early on. The initial mix was tap water with a very light dose of CalMag and a bit of Voodoo Juice, with pH sitting around 5.8–5.9. The coco pellet was fully hydrated, but the plant clearly didn’t like something. It looked like early burn or a harsh reaction, which is frustrating because the input level was low. At that point, the likely causes were pretty classic: maybe the feed was still too rich for a newborn, maybe the dome ran too warm, or maybe the seedling just hates my “light touch” and wants even less. So I did the smartest thing: I stopped guessing and reset. I rehydrated the coco pellet again using only RO water. I dropped EC down to 0.4 and kept it minimal, using just a small amount of FormuleX. No CalMag, no extras, just a clean baseline. Since that change, things look more encouraging. I can see two new pairs of leaves coming in, and that’s the sign I wanted. The seedling is around 5 cm tall right now, and I’ve kept humidity high in the mini greenhouse to support rooting and recovery. The goal for next week is simple: clean new growth. If the new leaves stay healthy, I’ll know the issue was the early mix and not something deeper. And yeah—seedling starts are still my weak spot. I’m clearly making mistakes somewhere in that “first 10 days” window, and I need to tighten the process until it’s repeatable. For now: stable environment, minimal inputs, and steady observation. See you next week. **Quick update on the Pineapple Upside Down Round 2.** I transplanted the plant into its final pot. She’s still a small one, but the roots have clearly started to develop, and she now has four full pairs of leaves. That was enough of a signal for me to move her into the final container without waiting any longer. That said, the start hasn’t been as clean or as smooth as I would have liked. It’s not a perfect takeoff, but it’s clearly not as catastrophic as the previous cycle either. The plant still looks fairly vigorous, which is reassuring at this stage. I’m still running the humidity dome to keep a high level of moisture around the plant during this early phase. The goal is to limit stress as much as possible and help the roots settle properly after the transplant. I mixed a fresh, light nutrient solution. EC is set around 1.0. I’m running Athena Grow A & B, plus a small dose of Cal-Mag. Roughly 0.9 ml per liter for Grow A and Grow B, adjusted to reach that EC. Hopefully, the combination of the transplant and the light nutrient solution won’t slow her down or cause any setback. The focus here is stability, not performance. On the lighting side, I lowered the fixture slightly and reduced the power to stay efficient. PPFD is sitting around 180 at canopy level, which feels appropriate for this early stage. So overall, not a perfect start, but still a workable one. We’ll see how she reacts over the next few days, and I’ll do another update at the end of the week. See you next week. Stay safe, growers.

OMG 2021 Ripper Seeds say hello to my new little friend cutting from the neighborhood Neem oil showered so far only osmosis water

Hellooo friends! Is the first time I am growing this way, so is the first time I am seeing a big plant hahahaa. Just one word, AMAZING! Lets get the maximum of this Plant!!!! Thanks to everyone. Love you all!

Today is the start of week 8. Very nervous about the harvest so im checking it with a microscope daily. Any tips or suggestions appreciated!

We entered the 7th week of flowering, we are no longer approaching the cut but it is still growing and producing giant buds, the smell remains strong, sweet, little by little we are approaching its end 🙌👏

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Papaya Sherbet de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, las flores son bien compactas y van repletas de resina, tienen tonos verdes bastante bonitos, y tiene unos aromas afrutados bastante marcados con toques cremosos. Es muy sencilla de cultivar, es de ciclo de 2 meses y medio, pero bien agradecida. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

So here's my first Diary. I'm a new grower just trying to find out what works best for me.

Good morning, weekly update time! Today is day 41 of flower, the fade has started but the ladies are still bulking up and putting on weight! Prob start checking trichs in ten -14 days or so but like I said weight is stil increasing and white pistils are still dominant. Last week they got their last dose of recharge tea, I’ll probably give them fish shit one more week! I also gave them one last fruit compost tea I made with apple, cucumber, kiwi, and banana peels! Here on out there isn’t much to do and it’s getting boring for me, I liked working with them topping and training etc but now I just check on them once a day. Thanks for reading and see you next Tuesday :)
