01/26 No pictures this week because I'm doing multiple days of time lapse photos. Next week should have some yummy vids and photos. Plants have been doing well. Topped all of the plants between 01/20-01/23, except Berry, which will get topped tonight. Berry has had a very strong rebound. Still very pale in comparison, but is showing strong vertical growth. Vigorous growth of lateral shoots in most plants except for one of the WW. (iirc, it's WW 3) The tallest WW with the widest node spacing has had extremely poor lateral growth, even at the topping site. Likely another 2-4 weeks before mothers will be a clone-ready, based on observed growth. I prefer DWC and haven't done soil for a very long time. It's shocking how much slower growth rate is in soil. A good thing in the long run, because pruning a mother plant in hydro is a PITA. At the same time, I want these plants to hurry up so I can toss clones into a SOG test. My plan is to take 2 clones of 4 plants and flower them all in one 14-gallon tote. 01/28 I had some issues with the timelapse because I didn't set the intervalometer correctly and it eventually went weird after running for over 36 hours and started taking pics every 5 minutes. Things have been fixed and I have add a video from 01/24. I am going to trim some fan leaves tonight and decided to flower 2 cuttings each from the two Bananas.

Flower4, día 4 desde que comenzó la floración, se regaron con 1.8 EC y pH 6.2, con los nutrientes puestos en la descripción, no me tienen muy convencido pero creo que van mejorando. Flower9, defoliación y riego, está vez se agregó al riego Bud Candy, el cual seguirá siendo usado en toda la fase de floración. Flower13, riego 2.0 EC y pH 6.2, se agregó Voodoo Juice, Tarantula y Piranha al agua de riego.

Plant has been getting straight pH balanced water this last week and minimal nutes. It is showing some slight nute burn so I let off a bit and raised the light canopy about 6”. I discovered that what I thought was a calcium or potassium deficiency was actually a rookie grower error by me. I have an RO system that I use to water all my strains in the grow room including this one, but when adding nutes to the water, it takes too long so I had been filling them up with well water. When I had originally tested the well water, I must had used a faulty testing agent as after testing it this last week, I was showing a pH of 7.5 vs. my RO of 6.2. Thus, every time I was adding nutes (multiple times a week) I was significantly fluctuating the pH between regular feedings and nutrient additions. To make matters worse, when I originally thought it was nute burn, I flushed each plant with well water and likely caused additional stress. Anyway, I have since learned that the well water needs to be treated, I only utilize RO water the last few days and plan to do so over this next week. Also, I have turned off the CO2 system as I was starting to see signs of heat stress on a couple of the strains (not this one). The literature I have reviewed suggested that these strains might be able to handle heat closer to 90F but it was also causing issues with high humidity so when I added a dehumidifier, it pushed the day temp to between 90-92F and the overnight temps were not getting low enough (maybe 85F or so). Maybe I could leave out the dehumidifier, but I was getting rH of 70% and didn’t want to risk any bud rot or mildew growth. So for now, I have turned off the CO2 and am getting high temps of 81F with 60% humidity and overnight temps of 74F and 50% humidity. The Future #1 has shown the least signs of stress and is fattening up its buds very nicely. Over the next few weeks I will start monitoring the trichomes for a nice milky color for harvesting.

Hey everyone 😊. Both phenotypes do very well and both look beautiful 😍. Again two super genetics from Sweet Seeds 👍. Let's start with the weekly overview: Flowering day 15 Today both were carefully checked for health and sprayed with Canna Cure. Flowering day 16 Today both were poured with 1 l each. The tent was cleaned and fresh osmosis water was filled into the tank. Flowering day 17 Both were sprayed with canna cure and checked for health. Flowering day 18 Today both were once again poured with 1 liter because they are very thirsty 😃. and like every day they were checked for their health. Flowering day 19 Today there was nothing to be done except to fill the humidifier :-). Flowering day 20 Today both were lifted out of their pots and the roots on the root ball checked, everything was great ☺️👍. For this purpose, the plants were sprayed with Canna Cure. Flowering day 21 to the At the end of the week, another 0.8 l was poured per plant :-). Both checked for health, and the humidifier refilled. I wish you all the best until the next update, stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👌.

7/11- Second official week of flower is here. I gave her about a quart of water today. Not much else to report. she's doing well! 7/12- I've done nothing to her today. She's still looking great! 7/13- I gave her about a half gallon of water today after I found burned tips on my leaves. Anyone reading this willing to confirm if this is nutrient burn? I'm sure it is, and I'm wondering if I should even feed before I defoliate on the 17th. This might change but as of right now I might only feed bloom nutes when I defoliate. Took her out of the wardrobe a few hours after watering which is why the leaves look depressed. Seems she always slumps with a heavy water. But I was able to get a better look at her flowers, and OH MY GOD. I cant believe how beautiful these neon purple buds are! 7/14- Today I found yellowing leaves on the bottom and they just kind of popped off with a gentle touch. This kind of spooked me. I landed on the conclusion that they probably weren't getting enough light and the plant started taking the nutrients out of those leaves. So I decided to defoliate today. I don't want the lower leaves to fall off cause they aren't getting light. I want those lower bud sites to develop too, so I cut the leaves that were blocking the most light into the plant, allowing the plant to get some energy down lower. I didn't get too crazy but I did remove a good amount. I will likely continue to prune leaves over the next few days but its mostly gonna remain natural growth from this point on. 7/15- Watered a quart this morning. Seems like she's really drinking a lot. The buds are starting to get fat. The buds are really pink! 7/16- God drunk last night and turned the light down to take pictures of the bud.... My dumbass never turned it back up. So today about midway though its day cycle I noticed and turned it back up. 7/17- Some leaves are yellowing. I think its a K deficiency. I cant feed today, soil is still too wet. Will probably feed tomorrow.

It's flushing week. Last week I've stopped giving her nutes, and the plan is to chop her down by the end of this week.

Really easy strain, grew super well despite my battling to balance the ph, changing of lights and a massive temperature/humidity spike. Looks good and smells strong. Looking forward to the next grow.

Alright all, it's been awhile since I've been able to update so I have a couple weeks to catch up on. Unfortunately my cheap phone was having issues last week and I had to do a deep clean and got rid of some photos, photos I though I'd uploaded to my drive that I actually hadn't. I seriously could have kicked myself. But thankfully I at least have a video instead of nothing. So on August 1st I got some spent hardwood substrate blocks from a mushroom farmer down the road. I crumbled the blocks around the base of each plant and watered them in. The purpose of putting the blocks down is that they still have live mycelium in them, and the mycelium creates a symbiotic relationship with the cannabis plant and it's root structure. The cannabis roots can only take up so much surface area, but the mycelium can take up the space the roots do not and form a network where in exchange for sugars the mycelium will provide nutrients for the cannabis plants. Also, watering with the molasses gives the mycelium the sugars it wants. I'm sorry I don't have more pictures, I wasn't even thinking when I was cleaning up my phone because I was so frustrated with it (there's a reason LG stopped making phones recently). It's just been wayyyyyyyy more busy than I expected or wanted it to and I've had hardly any time in the garden. It's all this rain! Last year I was complaining about how there wasn't enough rain, now this year there's plenty of it. When I'm not doing Garden stuff I'm working part time with my husband doing landscaping and tree work, which includes mowing lawns. Last year with the drought we were mowing lawns maybe every 2 weeks. This year it's every 4-5 days. It's crazy.

Still lookin happy, water only around 6.5 ph. I will start some LST next week 👍🏼 I will also give a 1/4 dose of advanced nutrients sensi cal mag next week because that's one issue I've ran into, usually nearing flower and I feel weekly small doses helps negate any issues. LED lights seem to increase the need for cal mag at least in my environment. The auxiliary shoots off the main are interesting! It's definitely going to be more of a bushy structure and fun to LST! ✌️🏼 ♥️

Still going through flowering. She has stayed short and stocky throughout since week 3/4 actually. About that time I remember watering her with nutrients that must have been too acidic. I'm pretty sure I omitted add ph up. 😭 The damage was done, growth all but stopped. As she is an auto flower there is no time to 'save' her and grow a big plant, so we will go to the end with what we've got.

Questa settimana è andata abbastanza bene, levando una piccola carenza di zinco che è stata recuperata in 2 giorni, e cresciuta molto ha un bel colore e inizia a profumare !! Questa baby crescerà senza tecniche o allenamenti giusto una piccola defogliazione....iniziamo la fioritura molto bene 🙏💪🥦

So this week was the first week of flowering! 😊 lovely. She has stretched just a little bit and will expect some further stretching. Quite glad of this as my green house is quite short. Weather has been colder and slightly damper this week so she probably hasn’t been at optimal conditions. Gave her Some extra vegetation and bloom to help through this transitions. Also added a nice scoop of BatGuano to ensure she has enough P in the near future.
