Feed and defoliation Tuesday evening, was a little bit of work but a lot of fun too. Put some music on and giver! Was careful to try not to overdo it with the scissors, I even lay down on the floor and looked up from underneath to see how it looked that way. Buds are getting dense and sticky, the trichomes are starting to frost things up a bit. I can't wait to see where these endup. Next feeding I'll increase the amount of nutes a bit, according to schedule. Fed Friday night, 5 litres of Remo week 4. Did a bit more defoliation I missed, like a dozen leaves per plant. I dunno, that could be smart, could be stupid. We just don't know. Now I'll let em boogie on down to the finish line and give em lots of light and love and tunes and tickles. Gonna give em week 5 nutes on Monday 😎 Not sure how much runoff I should be getting. Last time it wasn't more than a few spoonfuls, @ pH 5.7 which seems fine with me as it's a hassle to deal with the excess. I'm sure someone somewhere will tell me I'm wrong???

I can't see the very back pheno of the blue Gelato 41,but I'm not impressed so far. There is a lot of bulking to do, compared to other strains in the tent. These are set to finish Dec 26th. Hopefully they start stacking asap

So this final week the buds on this Orange Hill Special are filling out. They are getting rock solid and the calyxes are doing their final swelling. Also, the trichomes have started forming and up close, they are forming a white sticky film over the whole bud. The buds feel heavy and compact, although their size could have been bigger but not complaining with this amount of bud. I have just been feeding some perma tea and clean water since this soil is probably very high in nutes by now. I had some brown leaf points so just adjusted and all was fine. Now we go into the final one or two weeks. I did some final defoliation to expose some underside buds, they are swelling too. Removed some sticky underside larf, kept it in a box to gradually dry for a preliminary taste test coming days. Sunshine and me wish you a very merry Christmas (check our Christmas video) and hope we have more freedom next year instead of less and wish you all bountiful harvests! Special thanks and well wishes to @MarsHydroLED, you gave us an excellent gift that keeps on giving, thank you!!

These girls are getting really close. Definitely stacked amazing but from the looks, Definitely sativa dominate. They're getting a strong pungent OG smell and a couple have a super sweet smell. Excited for the next week to see how they progress.

Girls are starting to flower, we’re on a 12/12 light schedule now, I let the girls dry out at the beginning of the week. I’ve been watering them with 1/2 gal per day per 5 gal pot. Will start checking soil and weight twice a day now that they are flowering

These girls are just days away from harvest! I will closely monitor their pistils, calyxes & trichomes throughout the week so I can determine exactly when to give these girls their two days darkness before chop! They are all starting to fade out really nice and the smell just keeps getting stronger each and every day! After this last feed/flush I will only give these girls R/O-Distilled Water with nothing added whatsoever. Please enjoy the videos I posted of the girls! Thought I’d add some music to the videos vs loud condenser microphone picking up fans 🤣 Only videos for now, I will post actual pictures and macro shots throughout the week before harvest. Update: 9/7 The pistils and trichomes are about right where I want them. I’d say I have about 90% Cloudy, 7% Clear & 3% Amber Trichomes. A majority of pistils have gone from white to amber and have retracted. The girls have stopped drinking water so I transferred them to my darkroom to finish off for two days. After the two days I will chop and hang at 67°F @ 55%RH for 8-10 days until the stems begin to snap.

Time for her to go to the dark room. She has finally finished up her growth it was my first time growing this strain I will do much better next time up. Now it is harvesting and curing then testing to see how she taste. Didn't get much out of her but the best things come in small packages.I will keep GD updated on the curing and how much did I come out with hope I have better luck next time on the size I really learn alot from the GD family.

Less is more. Lesson learned. Without training these plants, having the fifth plant has really cramped the tent. Because I have limited space for the tent, access into the sides isn't possible. I have only the front entrance. Next time I think I will stick yo maybe three strains that have been positive and try and find the time to train more. The WOS-Northern/Skunk has grown out so nicely into a Xmas tree type of posture. She is making her really good friends with her neighbours, perhaps to their detriment. Seedsman Blueberry continues to be solid and unphased by anything. This is the first time I have smelled a plant that has such a fruity aroma. It really took me aback in surprise. Very cool. HiFi 4G needs support. Did a McGyver solution for the time being. Doesn't appear to have bulked up much this week. Jack is about the same. A bit of bulk up but not expecting this one to be a big yielder. Appears healthy overall so I'm happy. CBD+ bulked up for sure on the main cola's. I'm skeptical she will be done at 60 days at this point....but have to trust what Dinafem are telling me. Be safe folks.

И это всё FastBuds! 😜В этот цикл у моих автоцветов случился полный рассинхрон. Вы только посмотрите👆 - лимонад вымахал выше метра(что еще раз доказывает, что в ограниченном пространстве нужно применять техники по сдерживанию роста), и уже сформировал красивые одуваны, также цветет 20:1. У cbd crack пока нет даже намека на цветение. Самое позднее время зацветания автоцвета в моей практике - на 53день, посмотрим, будет ли побит рекорд. Хоть и не хочется, но видимо придется перейти на раздельное питание. А пока сделал перестановку, и теперь смог согнуть лимонад, надеюсь его рост прекратился. Т.к. в дальнейшем лазить в бокс будет уж проблематично, таки подсоединил фильтр(еще цикл без замены угля😱). Включил боковой досвет. Ах да, в начале недели лимонад проявил фиолетовый фено, вот так резко, прямо на глазах в течении дня. Спасибо, что заглянули, и будьте здоровы! 🙏 Продолжение следует...😶

Day 29 - She's looking super healthy! Strong branches, sides are reaching up, no discolorations anywhere. The stretch has been good to her. Watering about every 3 days. ***VIDEO UPDATE*** Day 31 - Fed Tiger Bloom at 1/4 strength. Day 33 - Looks like she handled the nutes just fine, probably take it up to 1/2 strength next time. Day 34 - Watered Day 35 - Looking good, some very light discoloration on some of the lowest leaves. I will up the nutes next feeding.

Es war Zeit für die Ernte, im Urlaub hatte sich an der Pflanze im Folientunnel Schimmel an der Hauptcola gebildet und auch etwas an der Pflanze auf der Terrasse. Es hatte in dieser Woche sehr viel geregnet. die Pflanze wurde geschnitten und zum Trocknen aufgehängt.

She took 5 days to germinate!! Day 1 - Mon 8th March She has sprouted but still has a helmet. Will give a few more days to see if she breaks free herself if not I’ll give her some help!! 🍁🍁 Very happy to have her sprout though I was getting worried!! Day 2 - Tue 9th March She’s managed to break free from her casing with a little help from me. Gave her a little more water and her leaves are starting to open. Day 3 - Wed 10th March Looking this morning she is growing but she has white on one leaf. She’s also wrapped her self in a clear substance not too sure what that could be? Any thoughts? Tried to get pictures best I could. Happy growing! Day 4 - Thursday 11th March (Her nick name is Nemo) so from the pictures you’ll see she’s got an underdeveloped leaf but aside from this she is growing well. Day 5 - Friday 12th March Nothing new to updated today really. Have a good weekend!!! 🍁 🍁

🌿 Week 7 Veg Report: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco 🌿 Hello, Grow Fam! We’re now into Week 7 of this exciting adventure with my Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco ladies, and what a week it’s been! The theme for this week? Patience and appreciation. These girls continue to grow at their own pace, each one showcasing their unique traits and incredible beauty. Week Recap: Slow and Steady Wins the Race The girls are still on the slower side in terms of growth, but that’s part of their charm. Each leaf is a masterpiece, more intricate and stunning than the last. Their prayer posture remains consistent—a true testament to their health and contentment in their environment. They may be taking their time, but their vitality and uniqueness shine through every step of the way. Environmental Conditions: Keeping Things Balanced This week has been about maintaining a steady environment despite the natural slowdown in growth due to cooler temperatures. • Temps: Daytime 18–20°C, nighttime 14–16°C. It’s a bit chillier than usual, but these resilient ladies are adapting beautifully. • Humidity: Stable at 65%, ensuring the girls remain hydrated and comfortable. • Airflow: Gentle but constant to keep the space fresh and prevent any stagnant air pockets. Feeding Program: Aptus Holland Perfection Feeding remains consistent, and the girls are loving the organic-mineral lineup from Aptus Holland. Here’s what’s in their mix this week: • Regulator: 0.15 ml/L – To strengthen cell walls and increase stress resistance. • CalMag Boost: 0.25 ml/L – For robust development and prevention of deficiencies. • StartBooster: 0.25 ml/L – Enhances early vegetative growth and root systems. The switch to All-in-One Pellets last week has eliminated the need for liquid All-in-One, and the girls seem to be thriving with this natural, slow-release food source. Watering: A Gnat-Free Approach This week, I continued with bottom watering. Filling the trays and letting the soil absorb the water has been a game-changer—not just for healthy root development but also as a part of the war against gnats. Paired with yellow sticky traps, this strategy has kept pests in check while ensuring the roots get all the hydration they need. Growth Observations: Slow but Stunning • Structure: The slow growth might test patience, but the payoff is worth it. The compact, vibrant structure of each plant is breathtaking. • Leaves: Dark green, uniquely shaped, and full of character. Each girl is like an artist’s brushstroke—no two alike. • Praying Posture: Their leaves reach for the skies like they’re soaking up every ounce of light. Still no cloning or flipping to 12/12 yet, as I want them to grow a bit more before making any big moves. Next week, I’ll decide whether to flip them for a brief period to determine sex or wait until cloning is feasible. Photography Spotlight: Capturing the Details This week, I took some time to immortalize their beauty with my Sony A6000 and Nikon DSLR cameras. The intricate details of their leaves, captured through different lenses, reveal their individuality. 📸 Photography Tip: • Cameras like my Sony and Nikon bring out fine details you’d never see with a phone camera. The larger sensors, interchangeable lenses, and manual controls allow for stunning clarity and depth. • Macro lenses, in particular, are fantastic for close-ups, like capturing water droplets or vein details in leaves. The difference between these and even the best phone cameras (like the latest iPhone) is night and day when it comes to quality and creative control. Looking Ahead: What’s Next? As we move into Week 8, I’m hoping for an uptick in growth speed, but I’m perfectly content to let these beauties take their time. The journey is just as rewarding as the destination, and these girls are proof of that. Shout Outs & Gratitude A massive thank you to: • Terpyz Genetics for these exceptional mutant seeds. • Aptus Holland for their top-tier nutrient lineup. • Future of Grow (FOG) for lighting that keeps these ladies praying. • Pro-Mix Soil for providing the perfect growing medium. • TrolMaster for environmental controls that make my life so much easier. • Grow Diaries for the platform to share this incredible journey. • And, of course, all of YOU—followers, supporters, and even the haters—for being part of this adventure. Your feedback, encouragement, and interaction mean the world to me. 🌟 If you’re curious about the journey, feel free to check out my Instagram and YouTube for behind-the-scenes content, photos, and more!
