2.17.2024: Start of week 5, day 29 from seed, day 25 from sprout. Plant is healthy from what i can tell. Top of the plant's leaves all have slight white tips from what i'm assuming is light stress? Light is 16 inches from top of plant at 112 watts. I've let it pretty much do its thing so far. Branches are rather short making any sort of LST hard. Pistils are clearly visible so i'm assuming we're entering the flowering stage. Wouldn't be surprised to see the first signs of bud growth by the end of the week. Still no nutrients given. The fan leaves are large and blocking bud sites so perhaps i'll clip soon? Will upload pics today.
2.18.2024: Plant is responding well to the increase in light intensity. Still can't bring myself to take the large fan leaves off.
2.19.2024: Day 31 from seed. Plant is drinking more. Gave 64oz at 6.4ph. Run off ppm was 1450 at 6.6ph. Essentially 4 full weeks from seed before i need to start feeding. Next watering will contain nutrients.
2.20.2024: Humming along. Now firmly in the preflower/early flower stage. Growing 1/2 to 1 inch a day. If anyone is reading this, please tell me its ok to chop the big fan leaves blocking bud sites!
2.21.2024: Day 33 from seed, 29 from sprout. Picked up the pot this morning and it was very lite so i gave it another 64oz at 6.3ph. No run off this time which tells me they are starting to need more water or i need to up the frequency. Still no nutes in 33 days!
2.22.2024: Besides white tips on top growth, steady as she goes. I'll post a pic of the white tips. No idea how to solve. Plant is totally in flower but since we're almost at the end of week 5 from seed, i'll keep the diary in "flower." 14.5 inches from soil to top. Would love to see these get to 24 inches by the end.
2.23.2024: Upped water to 96oz at 6.4ph. About 2 cups of run off at 6.6ph and 1130ppm. Original soil still has nutes to offer at day 35 from seed.

I smell trouble :/
well, actually the smell changed dramaticaly and I was overwelmed after opening the tent. But the trouble I smell are brown spots on the leafes that appeared on few more places. Maybe fungi? Did some googling and now I am not sure of anything :/
Other than that she seems healthy and is only affected on few places so I am not going to change anything in fertilizing for now. However I did took some steps...more defoliation to increase air streaming trough center of the plant, increased fan speed, disconect from autopot and dry out the root, took away (hopefully) all of the affected leafs.
She was given 8ml of BIO PK5-8 together with 4ml of orgatrex diluted in 2 lit of water. I will keep hand watering her with orgatrex only during next 2 days before I need to leave again. Could that be lack of nutrientes as I am acctually keeping her in autopots most of the time?

Today marks the 7th week of flowering for my cannabis plant, and it's truly fascinating to observe the changes that are taking place.
The stretching phase has officially come to an end, and now the plant is fully focused on developing its buds.
I can see that the buds are starting to swell and gain size, which is a promising sign of a healthy flowering process.
I've adjusted the feeding schedule with BioBizz products to match the plant's current needs.
Overall, the plant looks healthy and vigorous. The pistils are turning a beautiful shade, and the resin production is beginning to increase.
I鈥檓 excited to see how the buds will continue to develop over the next few weeks. I鈥檒l keep monitoring closely and make sure everything stays on track.
Be excited for the coming weeks 馃挌馃尡馃尡

She is massive. Some of her leaves are already getting trichomes.

This strain is performing like crazy. My god, she just wants to go and go and go. See the difference with the previous week, it's going crazy in this tent. I had some space to fill because one of her roommates turned out male. More about this in my Xtra Kush diary.
But fill up they did, I turned her around, for the change of scenery, but also to let the longer side branches fill up the space in the scrog. And did she. With all these bud sites, the rapid growth of flowers, this strain is having a good time.
Very happy with how my soil recipe is performing (see the yellow image in earlier pages), none of the crazy stories of going hermie when stressed. Just some T. L. C. and this strain outperforms anything I have recently grown.
But this SP-3000 is just a beast of a light and we owe much of this success to @MarsHydroLED, who was so kind to let us try their light. Check www.mars-hydro.com for the Black Friday deals!
What I did to prevent this strain from going hermie:
- No defoliation. Will start a little after the third week of flowering.
- Little extra flower feed in the waterings, no amendments yet, I have no yellowing at all.
- As little stress as possible
- Reassuring them in their gender, be proud of your female qualities, no need to go all masculine on us.
See you next week, thanks for checking in again!!

Amazing week, my first ever harvest for the 1 gallon gorilla glue auto. I was afraid to wait any longer as she had nearly no leaves left. She did have alot of milky Trichomes but still some clear around, few amber. Currently drying and awaiting results. I was unable to get an accurate wet wait as I left the stalk and all. I tried my best and saw 126g go across the scale but I just layed it quick before it fell over. I'm hoping 1/2 ounce usable yield when dry as it was not nearly as dense as I thought. The other plants are much more dense and continue to harder so I will be waiting as long as they need. They are very healthy. Praying they finish with high quality. 馃檹 GSCE is VERY dense feeling though and GG 2 gal is catching up but not super solid yet. BB still taking her good ole time. Maybe within a month ? I sure hope because I'm running out of time for this project until summer. Praying for a fast , solid finish! 馃檹 Less than 2 weeks for sure for GG & GSCE , they are extremely covered and mostly milky just some clear still and not enough amber. I have lowered the light an inch every day or so for the last few days. I'm now breaching the limit but still a hair of room. Hoping I can achieve the 10-30% amber and have something special. Stay tuned

Day 35
All plants but one are doing pretty good and growing in different kind of ways.
Two pretty bushy plants with big leaves and one that鈥檚 not developing big fan leaves till now but is still growing nicely.
I sadly overwatered the smallest one last week, but she鈥檚 still giving her best to survive my mistakes.
I do light LST every morning and will report them into 19L next week. Not sure if should keep the small one in the 4L for now and repot her at later stage so she can recover.
I appreciate everyone helping me out or sharing advice
/update Day 36
Today I topped one of my ladies again, because I topped her wrong the first time she started developing the two tops a node lower. As the two fan leaves on top won鈥檛 give her anything else than shadow I decided to cut that part.
I appreciate every advice 馃檹馃従

Day 106
Flower 44
Remaining 30
These ladies started standin with a gangsta lean.
A few of the colas are starting to lean, just awesome!
another fairly routine week with the exception of my pocket scope arriving. took some practice but i'm getting better at focusing on the trichs.
Some of the buds are getting some red hairs but a couple have alot of red hairs and one bud actually has some amber trichs if i'm not mistaken. most of the trichs are clear and some milky. With 25 -30 days until harvest. Shouldnt they all be clear?
Hitting the homestretch here I can't believe harvest is only 4 weeks away after all this.
also I'm blown away by the crystal on these ladies. its insane! the smell is crazy strong now too in the tent.
I'm considering whether I should buy one more bag of co2 for 2 more weeks. REALLY fatten these buds up. So i'm thinking I'll scoop some of that and some yoyos in the next day or 2.
Happy growing guys and gals! thanks for following along, enjoy the convos as always. 馃檶馃憡

So this was quite the productive week..!
They grew enough after the topping for em to bend over. First step to ScrOG has been done and I'm quite happy with the results 馃挌
Next step is the screen of course!
Then let them full it and switch em
Just a reminder.. I'm growin 4 plants in a 120*120 so a little patience would be required if you, like myself, would like to fill that space up 鉂わ笍馃挍馃挌
One day I'll fill it with just one plant 馃槅馃槅

In general I'm very happy growing this strain. The germination rate was 100%, all 3 sprouted, even though one ended up dying after some weeks. My fault here, she grew upside down and when I
moved her she didn't reacted well.
The growing conditions were initially a little unstable as I couldn't find the right balance between temperature and RH, having the latter one constantly too low, making me buy an humidifier to keep the level higher. Well, too high in the lights off period, and when distracted could reach up to 99% RH, which isn't good. Again, lesson learned for the next grow.
Maybe I've defoliated the plant a little too much and that might have also affected the crop a little.
When it comes to feeding, didn't use so much plain water, the feeding were nutrient based all the time. Not sure if this had any negative effects in the plant.
Was fun to train the plant and I learnt a lot about topping. To be fair, I don't know if this was what affected her final crop or if I stunned her in the last defoliation. Quite inclined for that option..
After all this, finish with this amount of bud is ok and positive lessons were taken for the coming grows.
Overall I think I made a few beginner mistakes that affected the plant growth and flower, but again, having no pests, plagues, or any diseases was already a very good accomplishment and I'm really looking forward to start the next grow, and enjoy the smoke from this little one after drying and curing.
As it was the first diary ever, was very fun to do it, and helped a lot controlling crucial parts of the growth. Definitely will keep posting here my future grows.
Thank you all for following this diary, for the likes, all comments and answers to my questions. Without your feedback wouldn't have got this far.
Smoke report will follow when the bud is ready, now is hanging and drying.
Thank you all

12/13 - Day 71 - Watered with Recharge and Molasses. The girls have started to show signs of light burn. I'll find something shorter to put the smaller two plants on. The big girl is going to have to keep burning until I chop the other two down. Once she's alone in the tent I'll be able to pull the branches down and out in order to create more space between the tops and the light.
12/18 - Day 76 - Got a bigger tent so the ladies could stretch their legs. I fed a slightly stronger dose of nutrients yesterday and its pretty evident it was too much for the plants because slight nutrient burn symptoms have returned. Fan leaf discoloration and a few tips clawing. Will back off for the next few waterings and watch them closely. Flowers are all developing nicely.
