Good week, seeing alot of growth sites but they are all still short af. IM not sure if i should worry how short these girls are or not since they seem healthy??? They look healthy and seem to be liking what I been doin. Watering 1.5 liters per plant every 3rd day at 6.5 ph. IM still torn about transplanting to a 5gal a week before flower or just keep amending my soil with top dressing, I am open to opinions and or thought from anyone reading this on tips, what you would do or recommend

Week one of Flower in the books that two days of darkness got the girls looking great going into flower. I can see them showing their sex and little buds are starting to form. The leaves have a very nice faint aroma if you touch them and smell you hands very nice smell. All 11 girls are super healthy. Running them on the Growlink has seemed to be pretty much worth the price tag it definitely helps with being able to take care the garden more efficiently with the girls being water automatically. I still do my check ups and maintenance to make sure everything is running smooth but my work flow is way smoother with an automated room. The Gorilla cookies FF and one of the orange sherbets are the taller ones of the plants on the table. The other two orange sherbets FF and all 3 of the wedding cheese cakes are short bushy plants. Wedding cheesecake FF has a unique look and growing shape very short and compact and full of leaves.

We’re closing in on what I’d call the subjectively ideal harvest window. Amber trichomes are now appearing on the sugar leaves, which (by rule of thumb 😄) means the rest are likely cloudy. The aroma is exactly as expected — like smashing your face into a bowl of cookie dough. That’s modern cultivars for you! 🍪🌱 I’ll be chopping the plants in the next few days and will be back soon with the full harvest report. --- Grow Conditions (still consistent): 💧 Watering: 1500ml every third day 🌱 Nutrients: None (flushing, previously BioBizz schedule) 💡 Light Intensity: ~1000 PPFD 🌡️ VPD: ~1.82 kPa 🌞 Temperature: ~28°C 💦 Relative Humidity: ~50%

Day 57-63 Week 9 Halfway through last week, I noticed a issue with a wilting, deep water culture bucket. I realized there was a possibility I created an imbalanced solution for my plant that shuts them out, even though it was in the correct p.H range I probably encouraged mold or stagnant root growth. They are all picking up.Don't look stressed.They look happy and pointing towards the light.

Day 87 (Oct 27) still topping up with nutes or ph corrected water talking to the plant. This lady's lucky number is 800 (PPM) She loves it, and as a true gentleman, my job is to keep her happy. Poor Scrog, Amateur mistakes on pH in the beginning, and now I found out that she has Leaf Septoria. But I learned a lot Day 90 (31 Oct) started with tap water, pH corrected

Feb 27th Since the flush, I have had a hard time keeping the humidity in check. The dehumidifier (domestic) just seems to be kicking out way to much heat vs moisture removal. Tent temp spiked to 27, moving dehumidifier outside tent, building tiny duct... - doors are cracked, room is venting, extra fan aimed at each side of fabric pots, blowing on the fabric/dirt to assist in drying... - looking at reasonable dehumidifiers that would assist in a 4x4 tent. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Tiny room, heading into a humid Spring environment... Feb 28 the plants look great though. Resin crystals are piling-up. Calyx's are doubling in size while the buds picks up size and density ! pics tonight - day 4 since the flush, hoping tonight sees the end of moisture retention - new A/C / dehumidifier brought into service. target 39% Rh and 23c - whole tent got shuffled to fit the new gear. go figure. - Buds look great, they seem to have some sparkle, and definitely, the calyx are still expanding - with the humidity finally in-check, and it’s day 4 since the flush... the plants are going to get a drink of Molasses tonight. Moisture meter says I’m borderline. Green lite at this stage = 7 L. - it took a bit to get the balance in the room established, now that everything is under-sized, compared to the A/C Humidifier. - With the exhaust cranked, it took More fresh-air into the tent, to help steady the climate out Mar 2nd -many of the white hairs that were all over the buds, have turned orange/brown and are now wrapping up the buds - 7th day since the Flush, all seems good - trichomes are checked daily and the move to Amber seems to be on hold, while most of the others are turning cloudy. Bonus - humidity is under control. 40-45% now. later this weekend it'll go to >40% for the final week. Mar 5th - Buds continue to fill up and the Yellow leaves are climbing higher up the plant. - found quite a bit of new Amber, so there may only be a day or two left of light. -leaves are a bit limp, split a gallon of water/Molasses between the plants to get them through the next few days, then it’s 36 hrs of dark - the Calyx growth has been crazy the last couple of days. Buds are definitely getting phat as the Calyx are popping up everywhere - smell is sharp and almost dark - entering week 11 of Flower tomorrow, things seem to be finishing up nicely. Lots of milky Trichomes with a splash of Amber here and there. I’ll give them till Sunday.

Теперь я начинаю понимать еще одно преимущество выращивания методом ScrOG - по сути больше ничего не нужно делать, все ветки на своих местах. Даже высоту лампы я не корректировал, пока меня всё устраивает. Заметно замедлился рост, и мне уже очевидны мои незначительные ошибки по установке решетки, которые я обязательно перечислю в итоговых выводах. В начале следующей недели я собираюсь убрать лишние веерные листься, и подчистить низы, тогда мы и увидим финальную структуру кустов. Характерные сативные листья пока оправдывают мои ожидания, начинается самое интерсное😉 Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует ...😶

Plant has doubled in size and has budlets growing all over. Top dressed at day 14 yo keep up with food and also did a heavy defoliation and removal of branches that was not to the top of canopy. Almost out of room vertically but I have faith I will squeak out this grow without light stress. No bugs, no wierd growth this run.

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior. El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas. Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Day 50 - Starting week 8 and things look like she’ll be ready for a chop in two weeks. Giving her straight water from here on out to get all the leftover nutes out of the soil. Day 51 - Thinking this girl is probably down to the last 7-10 days looking at the trichs but if she keeps popping out white pistils, I’ll let her go till that stops. Gave her a heavy feeding of straight water today. Day 52 - Did a bit of defoliating today since she’s getting close to harvest. Want to maximize the light to try and get as much out of her as I can. She’s definitely not a big plant so anything I can do to fatten her up. Day 53 - Looking great, nothing too much to report. Just pulled her out for some daily pics and to check the trichs. They’re mostly cloudy still with some amber in there but she’s still pumping out some white pistils so until that stops, I’m gonna let her go. Day 54 - She’s coming along nicely and looking at her, she might be ready for a chop this weekend. Don’t really see anymore white pistils, they’re all orangish/red and starting to shrivel up. Still gonna let her go until I get what I want out of the trichomes but looking like this weekend but I’ll be checking her trichs daily!! Day 55 - Not sure what I want to do. Looking at her and the trichs, she’s probably ready to chop any day. If I do, I will chop this weekend but just not sure cause it will only be around 60 days from seed and FastBuds says 8-9 weeks so that’s right on par with they’re schedule. I’ll check her out Saturday and see what the trichs look like and if I think she’s ready, she’ll get the chop. Most likely will give her a nice flush with water and foxfarm’s Sledgehammer tomorrow. Day 56 - It’s the end of week 8 and since she’s just about finished, I went ahead and flushed her with 2 gallons of 6.4 pH’d water and 20ML of foxfarm’s sledgehammer so we’ll see how she’s doing this weekend and will most likely chop on Saturday.

The CBD Red Pure also showed a severe lack of magnesium and potassium. I therefore increased the Bloom fertilizer to 8mg/l once. I use organic fertilizer here and this strain seems to show a high demand for nutrients. However, we are in the last few weeks and I am sure that I will get them through until then. Again, learned a lot from this grow but I think I will try a new fertilizer after this grow as I am reaching my limits with the organic fertilizer scheme here.

Still vegging strong! Haha they are about the size I want before I flip. One of the center plants was a late germination and is a week behind I was trying to let it catch up in height and let it stretch out a bit more before I flipped but I’m getting close to just doing it. They are all really full and honestly massive haha it’s not usually my style to just let them grow and not do any defoliation but hey trying something new. I will at some point thin them out a bit. I will do a bit of bottom lollipoping before I flip for sure just to help with access for watering later on. Not much else to report, thanks for stopping by snd as always 🍻
