Week#6 FLO , 🧑🏻‍🚀

GOING ON VERY WELL...

Alright, as you guys can see, she has been topped and she has been mainlined... i have a while to keep her in veg due to an auto flower, not being an auto flower, so now I have to wait for that that plants flowering to be done before I can transition this one into flower so I figured I would take my time and get some training on her .. God bless everybody have a great week 🙏

Aug 24: starting the sixth week of flowering. I’ve added another Scrog layer mostly to help keep fan leaves out of the way and expose the bud sites. This “loose Scrog” or whatever technique works quite well. She’s fairly leafy but the buds are coming. 👍 defoliated to remove fan leaves that were growing toward centre. Don’t want to overdo it but there needed to be some removed. Aug 25: nice sunny day and had the UV lights going. Took flash pics just before using the 730 nm far red light. Don’t use a flash like this if you don’t have the red light as you might cause it to hermie. But you can get great flash pics. 👍 Aug 26: looking good. Watered with potassium silicate this evening. It’s a strong base and it takes a fair bit of vinegar to get the pH back down to about 6.4. That’s fine though because the microbiota (‘bugs’) will appreciate a serving of easily digested acetate. That’s part of why it’s better to use vinegar than HCl. Chloride would not help but the organic acetic acid does help.

Last week's plant showed an adorable life power, I hope this one will be the same or better ^_^ (14d) I'm not noticing that now, but it still grows excellent! update (17d): it grows perfectly fast and robust. Box stayed outside and the morning sun heated it up to 40 degrees and humidity was 24%, so I moved the tent to my apartment. I like what I have now. (17d) Initially, I planned not to interfere grow process. No LST or any kind of topping, just defoliation, but now I started to think about LST and SCROG. MB I will start LST at the end of this week. (19d) LST. It grows very fast, and I worry that it can cause problems in my short tent. How do I calculate: 1.6m total size - (0.3m pot + 0.2m between the led lamp and strain) = 1.1m - which is less than the max size of the plant. I don't plan to bend strongly to the ground in a spiral, but I just wanna move the plant's living powers a bit ^_^ 20d even after 1 day I can see a major speed up in side branches growing tempo. I hope that will take some living power and plant size will be lower without losing weight (^_^) 20d during changing the pot's stand I shook the plant too much and broke one branch (marked on the photo with a red line). I propped up it so can't even see the breakpoint. Finally got my voodoo juice, and start using it instead of my GHE root booster.

Flush week

Pronti per iniziare un nuovo ciclo aspettando che queste siano pronte per fumarle... questa sera mi sentirò un po più solo, dato che non andrò a visitare le mie cucciole e non controllero ec e ph... Inizio al più presto.. la pianta é vita!

So, the big day finally came!💚 I harvested the plant and got her cut and hung up to dry. But before that, she spent a solid 72 hours in complete darkness to finish off. (A little boost before the chop)🌿 Everything went as planned and is looking pretty good so far. Nothing out of the ordinary, just smooth sailing through the final stage. Now it’s all about patience while it dries properly. Can’t wait to check out the final results in a couple of weeks! 🌱

RS11 x Banana OG - Barney's Farm x Doja Day 62 - watered with 2L of RO tap water with nutrients, ph'd to 6.3. She has started to stretch significantly and is approaching bloom - I'd say by the end of this week, her flower will start to show, as she has now been on a 12 hour light schedule for just over a week. I've removed a couple of nodes from her as well as a stem that wasn't progressing as well as the others.

Day 35: The Fruity girls has been packing on the pistils this week and also oozing sticky if I touch her( wishful thinking on my amazing techniques.!.lol) . She is very manageable at this size and without the Lst and supercropping, she would have already outgrown my space I think. My lights are at near max height above her now and I think when space under the Mars sp250 is available after the FFT girls harvest , I will get her under there to get even more light into her growing lowers for the extra month I expect her to go . Her genetics from the Bg41 seem dominant and being an 11 week strain to get the best from them, this could be an advantage. I dont doubt this new strain could go big at all. seeing how quickly she took over in size from the majority of the strains in this run had given me a great boost as she is the only one of her kind in the world !!!!!. lol . A very nice feeling and u understandable how @club riot has moved into his own production. She has no signs of any issues at all and I have now moved the dehumidifier back I to the room to push the rh down and make them sweaty with oil hopefully. Her smell is a nice sweet , sickly weed aroma at the moment but knowing both parents , she can only give me a bowl full of fruit and fizzy ice cream come cure time. So that's all there is to ramble on about this week , I hope everyone is safe and well during these controlling times. Freedom will come soon. hold the faith.

Auto Opium has sprouted, and is getting acclimated. So far everything is looking good. Nothing else to report at the moment.

This was probably one of best looking plants I’ve done outdoor, grew really well in the new spot. Had a great main cola with many decent sized side branches. Didnt even do any training on this girl and produced plenty. Next year will do this again but peak summer and do some training on her. What a great plant, especially in the uk weather she holded off nicely. Big thanks to barneys farm for sending me these strains to try out. That’s all, happy growing 🌱

This week things are swelling quick great ! The purple is showing up more but still only trace amounts. The black has no signs of changing colour however I already know my pheno ain’t the one ☝️ . But the purple shows promise!! Slow at cloning and a higher mortality rate then the black amnesia haze. This one almost every single clone I made all root amazingly ! Highly recommend for its yields and ease in the grow room. You can really feed it high . Still unknown why the purp has curling leaves but from others grows I see it’s fairly common . I’m guessing it prefers a slightly more alkaline PH . I’ve been using citric acid to ph correct and every time I sway a little low like 6.4-6.2-5.9 the plants leaves curl slightly more. Most mixes are in the 6.8-6.5 range however.

controlled fertilized!!

This week has been like a child on Xmas.Waking up and running to the tree!Every morning is more and more exciting as my purple💜princess is really ripening with purple just aching to burst out.Nefor I contine,the few people I speak to,your opinions and views is inspiring and im blessed to have you guys as mentors.YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.👍👌🤜🤛 This week has been very wet outside so temp/humidity in tents have been up and down,gosh I hope I don't get any mould. PURPLELEMONADE is slowly becoming my favourite strain of all time.the colours and aroma is incredible,she is very sticky and is tempting to squeeze and smell I sadly confess,haha.Very cruises plant to grow and would recommend PURPLE LEMONADE by 420FastBuds to anyone who loves an exotic plant. Until next week,lots love❤️ happy growing 🌱 https://growdiaries.com/grower/420highlifecouple https://youtube.com/channel/UCKvjJ_S8nRI2wTc4cx_O1KQ https://myfastbuds.com/?a_aid=616a33e294e50 With every order you will get a free seed Join the community on GROWDIARIES It’s a awesome place to meet cool people, document your grow and learn a lot from fellow growers, happy growing 😊🌱

June 30, 2024 This week is the end of mid flower. Next week we should be in the final stages of flower. Maturing as it's called. So we will focus on watering this week. Lighting doesn't need to be observed. So I'll be skipping that report unless something changes. Sour Diesel A is drinking next to nothing. Her reservoir is more than half full where the rest of the plants are nearly dry. She still looks good and has great color. But I think she needs to drink more. It's like the soil isn't absorbing much water at all. Maybe it's supposed to be this light. It's a new soil brand, so I'm not really sure what's going on. I think I'll top water her again tomorrow when the reservoir is less than half full. I was considering it today as it's a new week, but I'll be doing everything tomorrow when the rest of the plants are dried out. Sour Diesel B is looking really good. Her lowers look a little underdeveloped. No concern, it's to be expected. But I'd much rather see some development from the supplemental lighting. I'm not sure if it's working or not. I think I have them set up wrong. I need the bars. That's the only thing I can think of. I really don't want to install them so late into the grow, but maybe I will tomorrow. Or later today if I decide to clean out the reservoirs and start fresh. It's still really early. Sour Diesel C is swelling up more noticably now. I think it's due to the top feed. I'm wondering if this soil has issues with bottom feeding. Because I can tell you my previous soil would leave the whole top of the reservoir wet. And the soil would stay at a near constant 45% moisture level. Roots would come out from all over, but this is different. I might have to research the differences. Sour Diesel D has this massive baseball on top. Good side branch buds as well. She needs to be top fed as well. I think. She is a bit light, but doesn't seem to be having any issues. She's drinking just fine though. It's strange. Maybe she is more thirsty than the wicks can handle? The environment is a mess again today. It's really humid out and again it's showing in the tent. 67% humidity. Of course I'll be spending the day opening the tent to let in fresh air. Although, the airflow in the tent should be more than enough to keep air fresh and clean. Just humid. Once the AC kicks on it should drop to around 55%. Let's see how long that takes. It's not hot today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 64.4% VPD: 1.07 kPa July 1, 2024 Watering Day! All ladies got a full gallon refill today. Not much else going on. No pictures today. I did rotate a couple plants to get light to the outer branches. Sour Diesel A had about 2 liters left in the reservoir. So I put it in the sprayer and top watered it. There was absolutely no runoff, so I know she is a bit too dry. That should help. The branches are also starting to sway a bit when I move her around. Sour Diesel B has these super dense colas. Great size and smells wonderful. I can't wait to see how she tastes. Very promising quality. And a decent yield for the size. Sour Diesel C is looking really good. Now that all the buds are swelling, they are connecting and making the branches look fatter. She is also starting to sway a bit with movement. Sour Diesel D looks great with her giant cola. Nothing really else to say. I took a leaf off that was just blocking everything. The humidity today is still about 60%. I don't know how to make it go down. The AC hasn't kicked on, so I'm fighting it again. Shocker. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 61.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa July 2, 2024 It's picture day! That's about it though. No watering. Everything looks great! Sour Diesel A is starting to sway a bit. She is definitely packing on the weight in her buds. We are looking absolutely wonderful right now. Great leaf color. Beautiful buds. Nice bright orange pistils. Tons of trichomes. Nice and frosty. She is also holding on to that top feeding from yesterday. I may have to top feed her more often. I will most likely use some recharge when I have to top feed. Just to keep the microbes going. Sour Diesel B has these huge fat buds and some super strong branches as well. There's no real sway unless I jostle the plant, but she is also covered in frosty trichomes. Another week or 2 on her I think. Maybe a bit longer. Sour Diesel C is definitely starting to pack the weight on. Her tops are swaying without much touching. Solid buds and a lot of them. Definitely not a big as they should be. A friend of mine said it could be from a slight lack of water. It's definitely possible. My plants usually go through a gallon in less than 2 days by this time. Sour Diesel D looks great with her baseball sized cola. The side branches look pretty good as well. Lots of trichomes. Super dense. I've also had an idea. I haven't used base nutrients for this entire run as the soil is pre-amended and these are autos. However, I'm starting to think that was a bad idea. I don't think they got enough base nutrients to keep up with growth. It's probably why they didn't shoot up and most likely why 2 of them didn't grow super fat buds. Either way, I didn't have all three bottles anyway, so there wasn't much I could do. I should have used the micro and bloom and just worked with that. I don't have the grow bottle. Anyway, they didn't show any signs of deficiency, so I didn't bother adding them, but I'm starting to think they could have handled a hell of a lot more nutrients than I gave. There's still 2 to 3 weeks left. Maybe I'll add the flower and micro the next watering until flush. The environment is really weird. So it's a super nice day out. 72° and like 40% humidity. Just an overall nice day. On the other hand, my tent is stuck over 60% humidity yet again. So I have my heater turn on periodically to keep the temp up and try to pull some of the humidity out of the air. It's not really working. Even with the tent door open, the humidity is still high. I really don't get it. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 62.1% VPD: 1.01 kPa July 3, 2024 Not much going on today. Our ladies still have enough water to last another day or 2. I've also decided to add a new gallon of water to each reservoir after the first plant runs out of water. The rest will be top fed into the corresponding plant. Sour Diesel A is definitely the most frosty of the bunch. Her buds are swelling up nicely and are super dense. Another 2 to 3 weeks of this and we are gonna have some hefty buds. Sour Diesel B already has some hefty buds. Not as much frost, but definitely a lot. Her lowers are also getting fairly hefty. Big for lowers that I have seen. Sour Diesel C has super dense buds. Even though they are smaller, I expect them to continue swelling over the next 3 weeks. Sour Diesel D is happily doing her thing. The single massive cola seems to be getting fatter as expected. There's still a good 2 to 3 weeks left on her, so I expect some super weight on the cola. The environment is jacked up. I don't know how to fix this with what I have. Now it's 64% and I have no idea why. It'll drop shortly when the central air kicks on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 58.8% VPD: 1.17 kPa July 4, 2024 Happy 4th everyone who celebrates it. It's picture day! Not a ton going on today, just some slight adjustments. Sour Diesel A looks good. She's getting heavy and swaying on the wind. Tons of frost, lots and lots of orange pistils. Sour Diesel B has massive frosty buds. They are super dense and look great! Honestly, there's a lot of leaves, but they are big. Even the sugar leaves are big. It should be pretty easy to trim. Sour Diesel C had light burn on one of the leaves that was way too close to the supplemental lighting. I snipped it off and rotated the plant slightly to get the leaves directly off the light. Secondly, she was super light, so she got a half gallon of just recharge top feed. I didn't use any of the nutrients, just the recharge. Hopefully that triggers some water intake. Sour Diesel D looks ridiculous with her one massive cola. Kinda looks like the main top of a huge plant that was cut off. Lol. She's drinking really well right now. The bottom of the container is evenly wet throughout. A great sign. She will be putting on more weight I think. Super frosty too. The central air kicked on really early today, so the environment should be good for the day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 57.7% VPD: 1.26 kPa July 5, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I checked the plants and watered D. Sour Diesel A looks really nice. Super frosty and her pistils are bright orange and shriveling against the buds. It's really pretty. Sour Diesel B is packing on more weight. I see the natural foxtails. I wouldn't call them foxtails. I'd call them buds that got too big for the cola. Hell yes. Sour Diesel C is looking super good. Her buds are still swelling and frost is still coming in. Sour Diesel D was bone dry today. Not the soil, but the reservoir. The soil was a little dry, but it will soak up the water and fix itself. If not, I'll be doing a half gallon top water tomorrow. I did the full nutrient regimen, but I used the rest of the half gallon for A yesterday. I topped it off and left the Recharge in. The environment is messed up like it is every morning. But it's noon now and the humidity is still at 64%. When the central air kicks on, it will drop down to 50% by mid afternoon. The temp is still really good at 75°. Very happy with that. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.24 kPa July 6, 2024 It's picture day! It's also the last day of week 6 of flower. Day 77 from seed. I also did my weekly video. Sour Diesel A is looking quite good. Her branches are pretty stiff and that frost is insane. It looks like white frosting all over. Some is so thick you can't see the green beneath. Sour Diesel B looks great! Her leaves just started to canoe a bit. I'm not sure if she is reaching or coming to the end of her life, or has some sort of toxicity or deficiency. I don't think so though. Nothing has changed in weeks. However, tomorrow I'll be watering with Overdrive for the rest of the grow cycle. She's also foxtailing. Not entirely sure that's supposed to happen, but it is. Although, I read somewhere that the Sour Diesel strain tends to produce foxtails naturally. Sour Diesel C is a bit droopy. I'm not sure why. She doesn't seem to need water, but I may top feed her tomorrow as well as refill the reservoir. Maybe I'll water to runoff. I'd say a gallon of water should do it. Or 3/4 gallon. Either way, I think she needs it. Actually, I'm thinking the rest of the plants need it too. Maybe I'll just water all of them to runoff. Sour Diesel D is just doing her thing. Not much to report. A couple little foxtails here and there, but the buds are still super dense. Let's hope it's a natural occurrence and not some environmental issue, like the @#$&ing humidity being too high. I should definitely try to research this. The environment is back to what it has been. High humidity in the morning and then it drops down to 54% by mid afternoon and by evening it's down to 49%. The temp is perfectly under control. At a steady 75° to 76° all day. Night time is a bit weird lately though. 72° at night. Mostly because the central air kicks off and my room warms up. I have my room AC but we all know by now that the thing blows out humidity like a rainforest. It just doesn't make sense. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.3° RH: 57.3% VPD: 1.25 kPa
