*********************************************************************************************************** START OF WEEK The Hawaiian Lion (right) and Tricho Jordan (left) are the two plants that dominate the face-on tent photos, and for good reason. Each of those plants is twice the mass of either Chimera. The HL is superior in bud sites, resin, and terp intensity, but the Tricho and the good Chimera #3 are both not too far off in resin production and aroma profiles. The weird runt is frosting up too, so we're looking at getting something unique and quality from each. That is, if I don't muck this up. I fed last night, and as part of that process, I mix my nutrients in a four gallon batch at a double(ish) strength. I then add that to my reservoir, which is shut off at that time. This allows me to work in the res, to both get the ppms right and the ph within range. I just use plain water to level off the ppms and then I adjust for ph. What I didn't do last night is TURN back on the flow of water from the reservoir. However, you wouldn't have guessed it from how the plants woke up today (see first image). I normally check the bases of each plant daily, and in doing so today, I noticed that one felt slight dry. All tanks were empty, but all plant bases were somewhere between wet to moist. This is how I spot check, and it's worked in the past. This isn't the first time these tanks have had a catastrophic issue leading to an unexpected no flow sitch. There's a filter that sits between the reservoir tank and the primary feed line. That has unexpectedly clogged on me in the past, but with no deleterious effect to the grow. That was caught within a day as well by testing the plant bases. I don't blame autopot for either event. Obviously, last night I was a baked potato and just forgot a step. The clog is because I use yucca in my mix, which is an organic material that over time in the reservoir leads to build up. I'm afraid to introduce hydrogen peroxide into the set-up, so I'm just maintaining my reservoir by cleaning it fully every other week for now. I don't want to kill off the bacteria in the environment. I'm also using some fungus, too, so I'd rather promote coexistence of a microbiome than serialize it, especially considering the plants seem to be on pace. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** END OF WEEK Shit! I've got a herm. I've found four nanner clusters this week, all on the lower third-ish of the Hawaiian Lion. Someone, thankfully, spotted it in the purple flower pics. Turns out, while super fun to look at, those sweet violet flowers turned into harbingers of mother fucking doooooommm. I've never seen this before. I guess I've been fortunate, but I've also never had a camera this capable before either. I had no idea how small these pee pee's were. I guess I was expecting girth, but shame on me for not knowing. I rapidly learned as much as I could over the last two days, and I've come to the conclusion that I may or may not be screwed. The consensus on my situation ranges from either burn my tent down to thank ja for the blessings of feminized seeds. We're riding this baby out. I think I have fifteen to twenty days left and I think these little nanners might have been in action for ten days, hopefully less. I don't know what kind of damage will be done in that time, but honestly, I'm not too worried. While disappointing, my use case is a personal supply of bubble hash and flower rosin. If it's seedy, I'll wash most of it. I don't know what caused it, but I'm thinking a light leak or genetics. The environment is dialed and that plant hasn't shown one sign of anything less than vigor throughout. The spots that developed the purple flowers (lower bottom half to bottom quarter) are all in the vicinity of where I found the herms (four locations) and these locations are close to the edge of the tent along the zipper. I'm vigilant about keeping my tent and grow space in order, but a light leak can't be ruled out. I'll have to test that after the harvest. The herm flowers are minuscule and I'm surprised I found them. The camera was a great tool in this case. I sprayed the areas that I removed the nanners and then dried it, but for what it's worth, I think the damage was already done. That water bit felt more like ritual, but I'm still feeling optimistic that I'm not totally hosed.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Another fast update! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Hey guys! I hope everything is going well for everyone. This is the 2nd week of flower and I'm here again to share what happened last week! My babies now get thirsty really easy, nothing like how it used to be (and you can actually see them stressing over it in my photos) but gladly nothing that some water can't fix. The main colas are also starting to grow more and they are full of small developing flowers (they look super pretty! ๐Ÿ˜) Some side stems are also outgrowing the main branches... and I'm kinda unsure what I want to do (or if I should do anything). Maybe LST or supercrop them? (I might screw things up by doing it in flower and I have never done it before ๐Ÿ˜ญ) I don't know. I also want to trim some leaves away since the foliage is very dense but I fear I might end stressing them! I will probably make a grow question to know what others think. I'm back on a normal nutrient schedule. I'm no longer "overfeeding" them and I water them 4 times a week (but with little water). Next week I'll try doing 3 but with more water and see if they like it more that way. So far I love how the plants are developing! The small flowers look great and they look bigger everyday! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Thanks everyone! See you all next week! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Found some issues with reducing the CalMag. A couple phenos stated to fade and show red spotting on lower leaves. I went back up to 2ml of calmag and will see if that helps. The smells coming out of the tent are very pleasant. Very citrus in nature with pine undertones. At the beginning of this week I have noticed hairs are starting to turn brown. The plan is to harvest at Day 70. I will flush with ph water around day 60. I am hoping for some plumping up coming in the next couple weeks as most phenos stayed lighter than expected.

Week 2 โ€“ Still tiny Not much going on yet โ€“ she's still really small. Growth is good and she looks healthy so far. Just starting to show her second set of true leaves. No signs of stretching or stress, just taking her time. Hopefully she picks up momentum in the next few days. Sometimes the slow starters end up surprising you later on

17 July 2018 - Considerable size increase from both root and stem structure to the leaf development. Heat has and is an issue. Slight nutrient burnt tips, as nutrients was increased drastically. 20 July 2018 - Mainlined CP from 4 nodes to just her 2nd nod. Notice the stress.

Harvest has gone well PE 1 after 72 days and PE 2 after 67 days harvested PE 2 earlier by a week to see if there was a difference in taste or high compares to PE 1. Drying had begun will update further with weights once dried. Day 79 - PE 2 dried beautifully lovely tropical aroma coming from her, PE 1 will need more curing as Budds were denser. PE 1 - 30g PE 2 - 28.5g

Day 64: new week! Maybe a little overwatered but I think itโ€™s alright! I think I will turn the autopot off for a day tomorrow! This is the light that Iโ€™m using for this grow! Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one lamp in 120x60 tent is perfect for light. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/

harvested some of the top buds due to much humidity and risk of budrot 6 days ago. The rest I harvested 2 days ago. Will edit the next weeks when it all dried up.

Hello colleagues! โœ‹๐Ÿ˜ƒ Flowering is in full swing, and the left plant, which was slightly lagging behind, finally stopped, almost resting against the lamp. As bro correctly noted in the comment, the plants turned out to be quite large (once again I regret that I did not have time to test them outdoors). The buds are starting to form, I hope that the final part of the cycle will pass approx. Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! ๐Ÿ™ To be continued... ๐Ÿ˜ถ

๐Ÿ‘น MonsterMarker โ€“ Week 7 | Flowering Start ๐ŸŒธ This one is a real beast! ๐Ÿš€ The roots are the most explosive of all my plants โ€“ absolutely insane growth underground ๐ŸŒฑ. On top, sheโ€™s very stocky and strong, which makes me think thereโ€™s a lot of Indica genetics in her ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’ช. The smell is already super nice โ€“ deep, rich, and very promising ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’จ. She feels like sheโ€™s building the foundation for some serious flowers. Canโ€™t wait to see how this monster evolves โ€“ follow along, itโ€™s going to be fun ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ”ฅ. --- ๐Ÿ‘น MonsterMarker โ€“ Woche 7 | Blรผtebeginn ๐ŸŒธ Das hier ist echt ein Biest! ๐Ÿš€ Die Wurzeln sind von allen Pflanzen am krassesten gewachsen โ€“ richtig verrรผcktes Wachstum unter der Erde ๐ŸŒฑ. Oben ist sie dagegen sehr stรคmmig und kompakt, was stark nach einem hohen Indica-Anteil aussieht ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ’ช. Der Geruch ist schon jetzt richtig gut โ€“ tief, reichhaltig und sehr vielversprechend ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’จ. Man merkt, dass sie gerade die Basis fรผr dicke Blรผten aufbaut. Bin gespannt, wie sich dieses Monster entwickelt โ€“ bleibt dran, das wird spannend ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Very healthy looking seedling, starting to grow very fast, she's got a great size for 14 days only and I think I'll transplant her in a couple of days more when she is 17 days or so like the other ones in this run, they grow extremely fast under the tsl2000 by mars hydro, very happy with the results I'm achieving in terms of growth, I hope the same in flower! I have Transplanted this lady into her definitive 11l pot on February 6th which is her day 17 since she was planted, she's 4 days younger than the rest of the plants in this 2x4 run, she's looking very healthy and strong, let's see how she keeps developing herself!

This new week since the soil is a soil improver specifically formulated for lawns, its task is to keep the pH around 8 and stabilize, there is peat that also acts as a buffer, I did a flush giving 2 liters of water since the vase is 3.2L at pH 5 to balance it with the runoff pH which is pH 8, since the pH is 8 the plant is unable to take nutrients as it should and therefore problems with curled leaves begin, which discolor, lose vigor (I wanted to do this experiment also for those who are new to it)

This is the final week these ladies see light until total darkness ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ FLUSH MODE has been achieved ๐Ÿ”Œ๐ŸŒฑโ˜˜๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ’š the size of the buds on the Colorado Cookies are huge, almost the size of soda cans. They are full of crystals and trichromes covered by much, they are super sticky and solid. The banana blaze is a tall and stalky girl with her buds being dense with hues of purple and really long orange hairs. This one is going to be a great grow for both of them. Hope you all like my grow. Next grow will be a knock out. I've got a few things and a surprise strain. Follow and like then you'll see ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿƒโ˜˜๏ธ๐ŸŒด

-------------------------------------------- ~DUTCH PASSION OUTLAW AMNESIA~ -------------------------------------------- Outlaw Amnesia is a top quality old-school Amnesia Haze dominant Sativa that will appeal to both beginners and connoisseur growers alike. She is 80/20 Sativa/Indica with around 20% THC and is a cross of our Super Haze with a very special clone of Amnesia. The high is powerful and fast with a clear uplifting sativa high and a strong Haze accent. The taste is fresh, sour, strong and old-school Hazy. Outlaw will stretch more than most, she can triple in height during bloom, and grows well with the SCROG method. Although she can be harvested as early as 9 weeks, a full 12 week flower period may be required for best taste, yield and high. She grows well in all grow mediums with perhaps the best yields in hydro where yields of up to 500g/m2 are possible, classifying this as a high production variety. *description credit to Dutch Passion OUTLAW AMNESIA (DUTCH PASSION) FEMINIZED DATA SHEET Breeder: Dutch Passion Genetics: 20% Indica / 80% Sativa Parents: Super Haze x Amnesia Flowering Time: 11-12 weeks THC: 20% Yield (Indoor): 450-500 gr/mยฒ Height (Indoor): 50cm Available as: Feminized seeds Flowering Type: Photo-period Sex: Feminized *Specified by breeder when grown under ideal circumstances -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SETUP: ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with de-chlorinated water with SuperThrive added then ph'd to 6.0 @ 80โ„‰ ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pots with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g of Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g of Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Bat Guano, 3/4 cup of Down To Earth Azomite and 1 tsp/g Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal. ~24hr light cycle during Germination / 19/5 light cycle for Vegetation and 12/12 for Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WEEKLY UPDATES: 9/20- ๐Ÿ’ฅBOOM!๐Ÿ’ฅ Week Six of flower is here and my girl's in high gear, stacking her flowers and pumping out trichomes! Today I watered her with 1.5g de-chlorinated water with 5ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+ added, then ph'd to 6.2 @ 72โ„‰. I turned her pot and plucked a couple of yellow shade leaves...the basic daily maintenance. 9/22- I didn't water her yesterday as she looked great and was 'praying' hard. Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72โ„‰ which I gave her through her drip pan (bottom chuggin) and I also gave her pot a turn. I'm keeping an eye on what appears to be a few seeds developing. I'm hoping they're just fat calyx's that haven't matured yet however there's a strong possibility that, due to a temperature fluctuation that was excessive (20โ„‰) may have caused her to stress and turn hermaphroditic... Fingers crossed! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคž 9/24- We're getting close to wrapping up Week Six of flower in a couple of days and she'll be past the half-way point with the most exciting weeks yet to come! I didn't water yesterday and today I went ahead and Top Dressed her with 2 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1 tbsp/g Dr. Earth Gold Premium 4-4-4, 1/2 cup Down To Earth Bio-Fish, 1/3 cup Down To Earth High Phosphorus Bat Guano and 2 cups of Worm Castings. I watered in the Top Dress with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72โ„‰ and let her enjoy her meal! ๐Ÿ˜œ 9/26- After her heavy watering on the 24th I didn't water yesterday and when I checked her today at 'lights on' and she still had some weight to her pot and her leaves were praying hard so I held off on watering today and will hit her tomorrow with her usual 1.5g watering. ~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™~
