MY WEED SMELLS LIKE WEED. Filling the room, creeping through the apt, what a glorious time. No major smell worries where I am so I'm just enjoying the atmosphere. 😍 On to Backbuilding/Bud Tipping. (Shoot me any advice on this down below!) I experimented back mid-week with 3 tipped buds that had similar control buds side-by-side. After 4 days there is a noticeable difference in density and bud structure in the 3 tipped buds compared to the very fluffy and softer buds next to them. No overall size difference but the tipped buds are rock hard and filling in gaps down the cola compared to the untipped buds. A light squeeze on both a tipped bud and untipped will tell you the difference right there. Happy with the results after seeing them for myself and lucky enough to find this technique at the end of week 4, I tipped majority of the main colas on Danny and some larger buds on Arnold today. Which means I also get what OG growers call a "First Taste" once my tips dry out and cure for a few days. πŸ˜› Other than tipping, I've just had to keep up with Arnold's feedings since lower leaves are still fading if I skip mineral nute feedings. Looks like they will be getting only PH Perfect and/or Molasses feedings until the final flush since they can't get enough food in the ProMix medium. I've still had constant defoliation during to avoid leaf overlap and light blockage. Since I'm now entering week 5 of flower I'll have to get it where I want in the next couple days and go hands off for the last month or so. Thanks for checking out my grow! Follow along as we're getting to the good part and I'll update again this week once the tipping sets in πŸ’ͺ MID-WEEK UPDATE: Random Heat/Humidity wave in Southern Ontario so I'm keeping a close eye on the buds after dark periods. Keeping air moving well so far so hopefully I can avoid mold/mildew in last few weeks. Twins are looking good. Arnold still super hungry so I've upped the nutes a tad and skipped plain water feeding until the flush. Just fed them PH Perfect/Molasses cocktail. Big Arnold on the right is definitely rootbound by how the water is draining so I'm looking at a lower yield from the right plant. I get run off from small Danny during a regular feed but takes a lot more to get any from Arnold and I don't want to overwater in this random heat/humidity wave. The Backbuilding/BudTipping is working like a charm. The tipped buds are filling down and way more dense than the untipped. Popped the SoundLink in the tent today to give the twins some music while I go about my business. PLANT PLAYLIST: Vulfpeck - Mr Finish Line Anderson Paak - Ventura Prince - Purple Rain Remastered Unless anything crazy happens I'll update at start of week 6 flower. Thanks for stopping by, liking, following, what-have-you πŸ˜ƒ

Another great week, They are both enjoying the new nute schedule. Keeping the light 18" from the canopy is proving tricky as they grow. Its approx 16" and Im gonna try to tame the crazy branch at the back of Nancy. But im feeling good about them so far.Im wondering how long the flower will take ;-)

Kept tucking leaves and tried to fill up the canopy. Guess it's working out. We'll see. Any tips? I see a lot of buds developing, deep in the canopy. They seem to catch a fairly amount of light. In hindsight, could I have trimmed them more a couple weeks ago? Early on in the grow the two light hung closer together, therefore the right half of the tent got to much lighting before I replaced the light, further apart. I'm thinking this being the cause of the right half of the tent being lower then the left side. I'm hoping it will catch up.

BewÀsserung: 500 ml jeden 3 Tag in der dritten Woche pH-Wert: 5,8 EC-Wert: 0,7 mS/cm Temperatur: 22ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50% SchÀdlingsbekÀmpfung: im Moment haben wir keine Anzeichen das es was zu bekÀmpfen gibt, sobald die ersten Anzeichen da sind werden wir handeln :) PPFD: 200 ¡mol/m²/s DLI: 15 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: COMPO GROW ORGANIC WACHSTUM DÜNGER, Sie bekommen auch ab jetzt immer etwas CalMag von BioBizz zu PrÀvention. Ab Tag 19 haben wir angefangen sie mit einem Minerlischen NPK Dünger (NPK 7-3-5) zu Gießen . Besonderheiten: Die Linsen wurden entfernt und wir haben mir dem LST begonnen, wir haben ihnen noch ein paar Nützlinge in die erde gesetzt -Tag 16 Heute haben wir mit dem LST Begonnen und sie hat sich sehr gut vom Toppen erholt. - Tag 18 heute wurde sie Entlaubt damit die Triebe mehr kraft bekommen und schân im Licht stehen. - Tag 19 heute wurden wieder die LST Sticks angepasst damit sie in form bleibt.

Great week inside the tent, somewhat uneventful out of it. UKBS 2 and Carl 2 have been growing (mainly carl 2, rip the homie UKBS2) and the plants inside the tent have been flourishing and really sugaring up despite how early they are into flower. Timelapse is here, ta-da! My nute syringe broke, so nutrient measurements are 100% inaccurate and I have no clue what I'm feeding my plants. Fun situation. Updates as the week goes. -5/28/2021 - Outdoor plants are staked out as they're quite tall and my area has a wind issue. Carl 2 is approximately 5 feet tall now, quite the monster. UKBS 2 is still suffering from degeneration, but the rest of the plant looks happy as usual. Broke out the nice camera yet again for some bud shots, gotta be one of my favorite parts of the grow process. -5/30/2021 - Indoor plants are getting quite fat in the bud department. Had to tie many of Carl 1's mains to the roof of the tent with some twineπŸ˜‚ - Should be some real fat goodness once she's ready to come down. Can't wait. -5/31/2021 - Last night fell asleep before closing the tent, lights on in the room. Hopefully nothing too bad as it was only one night.

this lady from the off set was the fastest growing and largest plant from the off set growing bushy with lots of leaves needing the biggest defoliation's too get that important light down too the many branches below, she is drinking about 8 pints of feed a week and loving life , and her bud production is also coming along nicely too , i cant wait too try this one ,

Its day 61 currently, i’ve given her the last feed and will start the flush now, even though she’s discarded most of her leaves already and is using up the remaining nutrients in the remaining leaves on her own. Most of the pisitls have started turning orangey-brown so harvest is right around the corner, and i dont have a loupe for looking at trichomes but i’ll be taking macro pictures using my phone’s camera and will harvest as soon as i start seeing a few turning amber. There isn’t enough detail in the pics to know if the trichomes are transparent or milky, but its easier to see the amber ones, so thats how i’ll proceed. This week’s song is Killing Me Softly by The Fugees, hope yall had a great week.

4/3/2023 - Day 36 Flower: Just watered yesterday so not much to report. The living soil bed makes this stage very easy. Basically, I'm on autopilot at this point. 4/5/2023 - Day 38 Flower: watered again today with 4 gallons, mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos and Bio-Catalyst, BuildASoil Big 6 and BuildABloom, Fermented Peach Extract, and Coconut Powder. 4/7/2023 - Day 40 Flower: Plants look great and are starting to smell more. The Grand Prix #2 continues to be the stinkiest and has the most frost. Has a slight grape smell, but still too early to really nail it down. Both Grand Prix are showing some purple in the leaves as well. 4/9/2023 - Day 42: watered about 3.5 gallons today, mixed with ThermX-70, Coconut Powder, and Yah-Whey Thrive.

3/4 πŸ‘ 3/5πŸ“πŸ¦ZπŸ“πŸ‘CBD they are all responding well to the watering yesterday and I used great white soil inoculant that seems to make the biggest difference. The leaves are growing huge almost too big. I can see these are going to be much larger than the space, even though I only used 2 gallon pots. i’m going to have to top them all in order to fit them in one tent. They are just beautiful and healthy and perfect in every way except for the CBD because I dropped her when I was doing the transplant. πŸ‘. 3/6 I mixed up 3 mL of silica into a gallon three separate times. I did a heavy watering of all the plants today.πŸ’¦ 3/7πŸ“πŸ‘πŸ‘ 3/9 πŸ“πŸ‘πŸ’¦πŸ’¦πŸ’¦ 3/10πŸ‘πŸ“πŸ‘

The plant is now driving to her max. The Salt stress is now in his highest point. The trichome production is still going one. Im still happy with the results :D
