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

10/16: A lot of stretching happening this week. I had to move the light up 3 times and even then the main cola of #1 grew into the light and got a little heat burn on the leaves. They are starting to build flowers. This will be a fun week as i should start seeing some purple in the flowers and leaves if I have one of the phenos that has the really deep purple. I did successfully clone all 4 plants, but ended ip with a powdery mildew issue in the propagator and so i may just throw the clones out as all of their rock wool cubes have some on it and i am not sure how to clear it up before putting them in soil. Will probably post a question about that. These ladies had a defoliation a week ago and clearly already need another. I over vegged for sure. I am not sure i am going to defoliate this week, and will probably just let them grow unbothered. Im hoping yo only have to defol one more time and so hoping to wait until they have finished their transition.

Ok this was my first grow and I made mistakes. -forgot to buffer coco - nutrient burn -started the manlining to early - probably worried to much about every stage these plants. -ended up with fungus gnats And probably appt more I can’t rmeber in the moment. But i learned so much from all of my mistakes and spent so much time researching and seeing in real time how these plants react and grow. I did do some experimentation just a normal top with one blue dream. I topped twice one another blue dream and did a 3 times topped on all the blue dreams and I see why you should at least top three times the eight main colas and spread out the plant I see some of the buds on the one I only topped once not matured at all because there was minimal light other buds were growing so fat it suffocated it basically. I could have probably defoliated and manliness better but ayy. Beginners wil make Mistakes and I’m happy with what came out of these girls. Not excited for trim hail but I am at the same time 😅😅

11/14 Day 23 from flip. The stretch has been explosive, so much so that I’m beginning to have height concerns. I can probably add another trellis net and lower it down a little bit, but not by much. I just have to hope they level off soon. I’ve needed to turn the lights down every day or two, and even then I’m at almost 800 PAR / 34.6 DLI at the topmost part of the canopy. The majority is closer to about 725 PAR / 31.3 DLI so I’ll leave it there for now. 11/19 Day 28 from flip. Well, the stretch sadly hasn’t stopped. I was able to raise my lights a few extra inches but it’s now maxed out at the top of the tent. The topmost branch is about 12” away from the lights so this really is about as much as I can realistically handle. I realize Ethos was up front about sending this strain into flower earlier than normal due to the way it grows but this is really nuts. We’ve now easily tripled, if not almost quadrupled, in height and lord knows how much there is still to go. Stretch aside, everything else with the grow is bang on. Everything looks healthy, no signs of any disease or pests, every branch has solid airflow around it with nothing being too crowded. I just need the stretch to stop and everything will be great.

Day 36 to 42 I haven't been able to strap down Stardawg #2 (bottom left) much because I cracked the stem slightly. It's healing fine and not a major concern but I'd rather hang on a bit. # Day 36 - Fed 410ppm full strength to FR1 - Fed 360 ppm half bloom(1:2 bloom:veg) to rest until they are flowering more. # Day 38 - Fed 710 ppm full strength to FR1 (I am going to start boosting higher now, I should have been at this strength at week 3-4 - 360ppm half bloom to the rest # day 40 - 810 ppm to FR 1 - 610 ppm to rest 5:1 veg to bloom. See nutrients ratios above # Day 41 - Plants were looking dry and I was nervous about how many nutes I fed them so I fed them water PhD to 5.8. - FR1 FLUSHED with 5.8. I chickened out 🐔

6/21/25 She started week 3 and was ready to top for the first time. Her stem reached over 3mm and look at those big ass fan leaves of her. Holy molly. Never going back to soil. For everyone who wants to try dwc or hydro, do it bc there is nothing to fear! Ph is stable between 5.7 -5.9 I only intervene when it would suddenly drop under or over by a lot. Otherwise I just go by how the plants are looking and growing. 6/23/25 She is recovering very well. Starting to smell a little already, thats when you know its gonna be some good stuff. If I dont fuck up that is 🙃 6/25/25 Gotta do a res change soon, she is deinking and thriving

The orange cake NO kidding, smells like a fresh peeled orange and some kind of batter smell... It's nuts... The big Z has the immediate Skittles blast with a earthy afternote... And the paint is just like the last one and smells real chemical like! When u say the name it makes u smell the paint... Is that just me???? Hahaha anyways... Thats what I got .. everything is going amazing and for day 37 I think they've filled out real nice... Now hopefully they fatten up in the next 20-30 days!!!!

02/01/2021 Going to sprout my last 2 Bluedreamatic seeds from (fast buds). Will be sprouting in mini greenhouse on heat mat. Once seedlings are ready they will be moved under 1000w MH for veg and flowering. 10+hours later they are on bottom of water and time for paper towels in baggie. 02/03/2021 1 seed sprouted and I dropped the other in soil 🙏 I hope because it disappeared! So got at least one Bluedreamatic on the way hoping to see other one sprout in mixing tray. 02/05/2021 She's above ground! Day #1 , currently under 150w compact flourecent 3 way bulb when first true leaves form (Not single finger let)I will start veg cycle under 1000w MH see you in 3-4 days for weekly update. topped seedling pot with vermiculite 1/2-3/4 inches leaving the cotdtyledons 1/2-3/4 inches above surface. Roots should fill up this container quickly, moved under1000w MH light for vegging. Seedling is 3-4 ft away from light but also off to the side no serious heat just about room temperature. I could not feel heat from light where I put seedling, comfortable on your skin is good for plants. 02/11/2021 It's day #6 above the soil, she is doing well already grown 2" above where I topped with vermiculite. At lights out I put her in humidity dome with my tomato seedlings main area of grow gets very cool at night,so I try to keep her at a better temp 72°f.

👇 This week: --- Watered again but this week i started using alga bloom instead of grow + Calmag PPFD at canopy height approximately 450-600, VPD ~1.1 - 1.3 Last defo before flower + lollipopping Running autopot reservoir with PH 5.5 (Cleaning once a week) Feeding autopots inside the tray with 1L plagron alga 5ml/L + additives (once a week) Testing Orange Creampop #2 on HLVd because she is much smaller than her sisters --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

ITA: Ciao a tutti, le piante continuano a stare bene ma l'umidità era troppo alta quindi ho deciso di comprare un nuovo estrattore d'aria da 125mm (prima era da 100mm ma non era sufficiente). Vedrò nei prossimi giorni se si vedranno risultati EDIT: l'umidità purtroppo non è scesa in quanto non c'è ricircolo d'aria nella stanza in cui c'è la box. Probabilmente userò un deumidificatore. Le piante hanno messo molte foglie e si coprono un po' motivo per cui tra qualche giorno eseguirò un'altra defogliazione. Stanno iniziando a fare odore, molto leggero ma si inizia a percepire ENG: Hi everyone, the plants are still doing well but the humidity was too high so I decided to buy a new 125mm air extractor (it used to be 100mm but it wasn't enough). I'll see in the next few days if we see any results EDIT: unfortunately the humidity has not dropped as there is no air recirculation in the room where the box is. I'll probably use a dehumidifier. The plants have put on a lot of leaves and are covering up a bit which is why in a few days I will be doing another defoliation. They are starting to smell, very light but you are starting to perceive

Shorter plants 13”, larger is 18”. Beneficial nematodes and the sticky trap seem to have handled the gnat issue. I’m continuing to use nematodes after watering, and the traps will remain. I did a little trimming but probably won’t do much more defoliation until the stretch is over. This will probably be my last shower grow. I think it makes more sense to get a bigger space like a tent or build one and some more lights. It’s getting cramped in there. It’s also starting to reek. I water about every 2-3 days using a 1/2 gallon jug to mix my nutes. I’m keeping ph close to 6.5 and ppms between 600-800. I don’t use nutes in every watering—it depends on how the plants look. I do more frequent updates on Instagram @thefairybudmother.

8/24 update: Welcome back to my garden! Thanks for following me on this 17+1 strain photoperiod SOG grow adventure! Yes, I said plus one. If you're following me, you may have already seen that I decided to sow one more strain. The first Jenny Kush seed didn't germinate and even if it did, we have 3 possible males in the garden, the rest are feminized. Since I bought sixteen 12 inch square pots to fill a 48" x 48" footprint, and we have some regular seeds in the mix, I figured it'd be a good idea to add one more strain. I went with another breeder I have never grown before, Expert Seeds. The strain is Gorilla x Cookies. My "helper" forgot to wet the seeds after I had sowed them and the top soil was a bit dry. I was not in the garden a little less than 48 hours and I gave them water when sowing, but I hope they didn't dry out too much. If the Gorilla Cookies doesn't germinate, I will rule that one as user error and not on the breeder. The rest of the garden is growing strong with the exception of the Sour Lemonaid. She sprouted looking a bit burnt and has some deformed leaves. In my experience, they usually grow out of it, but only time will tell. Thanks for stopping in and if you get a chance, check out a few of my other diaries and give me a follow. Happy growin', happy harvestin', and happy tokin'! Peace, ☮️ Love, 💚 and Frosty Nugs! ❄️🌲 - Fo' Twenny

Continua il tragitto verso metà della fioritura e ieri sono state sciacquate solo con acqua a ph neutro. The Sin è la pianta più alta di tutte con foglie più strette presentando caratteristiche più Sativa..quando entro nel box sento odori buonissimi 🤤 da rimanere lì ore per cercare di catturare più possibile ogni sfumatura della sua fragranza 💜non resta altro che aspettare 🌱👌
