Another round of topping. Tied her all back to spread out for LST. Going to flip to flower next week. Used the Kushman technique and Supercropped all her stems every inch on the way up, without bending. Gives her muscles to flex <3

01/29 day 23 start of week 4 and things are popping!! Haven't fed at all this week should tomorrow . 01/30 bed for 7 gallons water 2.5 gallons feed full bloom recipe

We started the week by transplanting the Orange Groovy F1 into the 3.6L pots filled with our SWA super-soil: we waited a bit more compared to the first 8 transplants just to make sure the roots were strong enough. At the same time we realized that the Orange Groovy F2 was the first plant ready for topping. This week we continued using our Lumatek dimming it at 60%. We are watering them with 1L divided by all 9 of them of osmosis water. On days 16 and 17 we topped every plant (except for Golden Pussies which still need a couple days and the Orange groovy F1 which we will not top because of her smaller size). We noticed that most of our plants presented lightly yellowed tips. We think that this is due to the deficiency of some immobile elements such as Ca, Fe, S. To solve this problem, we will put some decanted water (because it doesn't contain Chlorine which kills our bacterial substrate life) to give them the correct nutrients. We failed topping Orange Groovy F2 because the central apical started to grow even after cutting it but we kept it just to see what is going to happen. Golden Pussy F2 has been topped too and it went perfectly as you can see in the pictures. The plants continue to grow out of all proportion!

These blueberry muffin are turning out better then my first run. Apparently you can flower in small 1 gallon pots with organic inputs

So whats new?, well recently, as of 08/23/23 got my water chiller, which is A BLESSING, honestly the constant bottle changing was driving me NUTS, not only that, i had to use my roomates fridge (in secret) and mine to keep enough water bottles to last for a day, and most of the time it was just not enough so water temps were gettin all the way up to 90, a pain in my assholes that seems to be over. great success. have seen some strange thigns going on with the water, such as EC level that keeps going up, which i think it was realetd to the plants drinking more water than nutrients and don't know if it was becasue of the temps as I'm very new to the hydro space, but will soon be paying 12 buckaroos to the youtuber that got me started in hydro, shotout to "How Weed Grow at Home - Indoor Cannabis Tutorials", So far i've been folowing his Hydro guide to the theet, so thats why I'll be subbing to his personalized patreon. Here's a small log of how water's been in the last 6 days. 17-08-23 - Ph, 5.85 - 29.2 C - 49ppm (new water, i used purified) 18-08-23 - Ph 7.10 - 30.01 C - 70 PPM (water bottles in place) 19-08-23 - Ph 6.69 - 26.9 C - 96 PPM (14 hrs after first feed) 20-08-23 - Ph 5.89(been lowering it) - 25.8 C - 125 PPM 21-08-23 - Ph 6.31 - 28 C - 127 PPM (here i noticed EC going up so started taking notes) 22-08-23 - Ph 6.36 - 28.3 C - 137 PPM - EC 274 (added more water to the reservoir) -Ph 5.9 (ph down 1 ml) - 141 PPM - 28.3 C - EC 282 AnnnnnnnnnNDDDD today is the 23 of august and levels after chiller are as follows: - Ph 6.31 - 145 PPM - 23.2 C - EC 290 + So some things that will come, the viparspectra lights and will soon lst them, also i might change the reservoir as EC seems to keep rising.

She's unstoppable. Looks like we are about to be in pre flower. It's show time.

So, this week pretty much just buds fattening. I think there is a problem developing with either pH or phosphorus deficiency. Got a pH test pen on the way so should find out what's going on soon. Leaves staring to look a bit off, but bud growth is solid. Tested pH and it looks good at 6.9 so I'm gonna increase bloom nutes cos it could be phosphorus or magnesium.

Day 92 - Starting week 14 and this is by far the longest any strain I’ve grown has gone and I’m hoping she’ll be ready by the end of week 15. Debating on if I should start the nutes back up but not sure if that’ll do anything for her. Day 93 - Nothing much to update today but she will be needing some water tomorrow. All the leaves are being sucked dry but just don’t see the pistils starting to die off yet, all are still bright white. Gonna check the trichs tomorrow before feeding and maybe trichs will show she’s almost done. Worried I started flushing too soon. Day 94 - Gave her another 2 gallons of water pH’d to 6.6 today. Other than that I just removed quite a bit of leaves but still haven’t done a heavy defoliation yet. I’ll probably take care of that tomorrow since most of them are yellowed up now. A lot of milky trichs in there but still a ton of clear so still has some time left. Day 95 - Nothing much new today, just monitoring her trichs even though she still has a ton of white pistils. She does have quite a few milky but most clear overall. Day 96 - Nothing new to report today. All is looking good, just not sure when she’s gonna finish up. Not seeing any signs of the pistils dying off so gonna keep letting her go but still only giving her plain pH’d water. Day 97 - She still seems to be going strong. Gave her two gallons of pH’d water today. Really hoping I start seeing the pistils shrivel up soon. There’s a lot more milky trichs but still quite a bit of clear. Hoping she’ll be finishing up in the next two weeks. Day 98 - End of week 14 and still going strong. Nothing much I can say right now but I’m gonna keep giving her water until she finishes up. Looks like some of her pistils might finally be starting to shrivel up so may have two weeks left.

Day 28 today The girls are stretching out to a decent size. Except the Cheesy auto which is 10 days behind. They have only had half a scoop of Greenhouse biogrow so far. I am going to try out Canna Flores Organic for flower , boosted by organic Iguana juice from Advanced nutrient, is did a little bit of lst today just tying four branches down on each plant. I'm interested how much I can yield from a 100w led.

Week five marked the point where both Candy Hustle phenotypes shifted from building flowers to packing on serious weight.💚 Buds became noticeably denser, calyxes continued swelling, and resin production reached another level. Every day the plants looked frostier, with trichomes covering not only the flowers but also most of the surrounding sugar leaves. ✨ Environmental conditions were almost ideal throughout the week, with temperatures between 24–25°C and a stable 55% relative humidity. The plants clearly appreciated the improved climate, showing no signs of heat stress or nutrient issues. 🍃 Feeding remained simple this week. Both plants received one irrigation with BioTabs Bio PK 5-8, while all remaining waterings consisted of reverse osmosis water supplemented with CalMag. Water consumption stayed steady as flower mass continued increasing. 💧 The aroma became significantly more pronounced compared to previous weeks. The rear phenotype started expressing a very distinct Skittlez-like candy profile, while the front phenotype developed an incredibly sweet grape aroma that became stronger every time the tent was opened. At this stage, both phenotypes already show surprisingly different terpene profiles despite sharing the same genetics. 🍇 Bud stacking continued evenly across the canopy. The main colas thickened considerably while secondary branches kept filling in, creating a very balanced structure with excellent light penetration thanks to the earlier lollipopping. The amount of visible resin is becoming impressive, suggesting excellent bag appeal later in flower. ❄️ Leaf colour remained healthy throughout the canopy, with only a few leaves beginning to show the first signs of natural ageing as the plants directed more energy into flower production. Overall health and vigour remained excellent. 🌿 Environment Temperature: 24–25°C 🌡️ Relative humidity: 55% Watered with RO water + CalMag 💧 1× BioTabs Bio PK 5-8 Light intensity remained around 800 PPFD ☀️ Overall Impression Week five has been one of the most exciting stages so far. Both Candy Hustle phenotypes are frosting up rapidly, bud density is increasing with every passing day, and the terpene profiles are beginning to separate beautifully. The rear plant is leaning heavily toward a sweet candy/Skittlez aroma, while the front phenotype is developing an exceptionally sweet grape scent that already fills the tent. With several weeks still remaining, both plants look on track to produce dense, resin-coated flowers with excellent bag appeal and very distinct terpene expressions. 💚

Ok

10/05/2023 - She´s growing well, i left her growing 2 days. Now i´m aplpying more LST and start to question: Should i top her once more? I´ll let her grow a bit more and watch. Also noticed a deficiency, i think it´s copper excess due to Acti-vera or Root Juice. Next feeding i´ll cut on Acti-Vera and give half of Root-Juice. 12/05/2023 (Day 30) - She´s growing well, won´t feed her yet as the soil is still moist. Thinking about HST already, but i´ll let her grow a bit more This week arrived my Plagron Sugar Royal, so i´ll add it aswell :) Day 31 - Today i noticed some more healthy new growth so i decided to top her again and LST´d just a bit Day 32 - Didnt feed her yet, soil looks dry but pot is pretty heavy. Also her leafs are touching the soil so i dont want it to be moist. Day 35 - Slightly LST

Wow these girls really filled in this week! Only 5" of vertical growth but the girls are noticably wider and looking more full. Also looking quite healthy with a nice green colour, save for a handful of leaves at the very bottom but that's not uncommon. Still blown away by the amount of roots that have grown out of the base of the fabric pots! Vary thick and tough feeling, but white and healthy looking as ever! Bud sites really starting to come in as we end the week, looks like these girls could have great potential if everything keeps running smooth (knock on wood). Environment has been on point since uprages last week, fans running mostly at a steady 40% with the occasional spike to 60% and keeping the RH within 2% of target. Light is still at 80% and 18" hitting 650-750 umol/s

Used royal queen seed fems popped 4 and 3 where successfully. Through veg stage no problems quite sturdy plants growth rate was the same on all round, had abit of nitrogen deficiency. Flower stage everything changed plants started to grow at different weeks and need separate feeds which became annoying, think this was done to pheno types being different. Drying stage: I used this new herb dryer called wedryer for to plants and hung the other in the tent. Wedryer works if you have small yield as can’t fit a lot, drys within a week though but also looses flavour. Have to wet trim bud and then leaves bud flat in one side due to them sitting on the dryer netting. Has fan with carbon filter which stops smells. (But myself prefer hang drying). Used trimbag to finish the buds off love this product and recommend to others to buy.

#1 is really bringing in the purple tones now, the smell is unbelievable, very strong and potent. They are all getting really nice orange hairs that contrast well with the light green crystal coated buds.

Well still on auto pilot for the most part. Giving her a daily feeding till run off of the nutes my other girls are using. Other than that I'm just checking on her daily. The main cola is big, fat and pretty dense. Not the hardest but everything considering I'm really happy. It's about the look anyway when it comes to cannabonsi plants. Finished the roll of butt wipe so that looks pretty cool. Hope to harvest next weekend but we will see. Thanks for following this has been a fun grow.

[2026 March 4 | Day 84] - 8 Weeks of flower completed so far, and she's looking really nice. A bit shaggy, but nice nonetheless. Still not much smell other than a mild overripe fruit odour, but with temps being kept at 71F or lower I'm not too surprised. Pistil hairs are now half Amber, and trichomes are just starting to cloud up here and there on the buds, but they're still mostly clear. Time-wise I've tentatively set somewhere between the 20th and 25th of March as the optimal harvest window, but it will of course depend on the trichomes and how fast they mature. The soil she is in needs to be flushed of excess nutrients (salts), so I plan to taper her feeding this week with water containing only bud candy, as well as gradually reducing light intensity little by little from now until harvest. I'll reassess in another week, but things are looking really good at this point.

Hello there and welcome to week 12, or the beginning of it anyway. Week 11 is now complete so please check that out! We start the week with 5l fertigation and some nice photos. Now that Bertha is gone the tent smells Karenish. See you tomorrow! Day 78: Added several more carnivorous plants to the budding collection. Enjoy! Day 79: Fertigated 5l. She's starting to mature now. Frost developing slower, buds fattening and ripening faster. Were maybe two weeks away here. Night 80: Added tent photo and vid. Day 81 update later today. Day 81: Added a lot of media. Got a cheap digital microscope to try and get better micro shots. As you can see Karen is nowhere near yet. Day 82: Things are moving very fast, just look at the difference today. I am certain were with 2 weeks of harvest. Does anyone have advice on flushing/not watering. Fertigated 5l. Day 83: At the current rate of maturation I think the end of next week maybe be harvest time. Height 51cm Day 84: Karens smell is really strong now it washes across your face when you open the tent. End of week summary: A full week of nothing but bud swelling and maturation. I still think she needs another 2 weeks. Unfortunately my living situation has rather abruptly changed and now I have a tough choice to make: harvest/destroy or move plants. There is a strong chance I will chop Karen at the end of next week if she is ready or not.
