3.9.2024: Start of week 8. Day 50 from seed, 46 from sprout. Nothing doing today, plant is healthy and getting fatter by the day. Plucked a few leaves but thats it. 3.10.2024: Day 51. Fed 1/4 strength fox farm trio mixed w/ calmag into over a gal of 6.5ph water. Gave roughly 3 liters of the solution. Runoff ppm is finally under 1000. Might increase nutes to 1/2 strength moving forward. I'm no pro when it comes to taking pictures so its hard for me to get clear, detailed shots of the nugs. 3.11.2024: Day 52, 48 from sprout. Moving along nicely. Some nice purple hues here and there. Still very "hairy." 3.12.2024: Day 53. Fed 1/4 strength, roughly 96oz at 6.4ph. I broke the feed/water/feed schedule and fed twice in a row. Also did some lite defoliation on the bottom fan leaves that weren't getting light. 3.13.2024: Day 54 from seed. Plant is doing its thing. 3.14.2024: Day 55. Fed again at 1/4 strength, 96oz at 6.6ph. Runoff ppm was 880. 3.15.2024: Day 56 from seed, 52 from sprout.

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

Well I'm not really sure where to start......Got a lot of work done around the garden this week. Got the first load of boards up on the fence and I've been bracing as I go. Grass all trimmed down and some of the inside of the plants, it was a mosquito magnet in there, wasn't fit to be in, it has gotten better. I gave them what I had left of Gaia Green 4-4-4, which was 3 cups each a little shy of what I wanted to put in so I have another bag coming here very shortly and we will top it up then.So far between everything in the garden right now we have went thru 20kg of 4-4-4, minus 6 cups for the indoor peyote super soil. Also getting some trellis as I thought I had enough from last year but cant seem to find it anywhere. They're getting pretty big now kinda makes me worry a bit, never thought they would be this big..... Purple Punch, #1: 73 inches, #2: 76 inches, #3: 78 inches Orange Sherbert, #1: 76 inches, #2: 72 inches, #3: 69 inches I got some lady bugs today and have released them. I'm hoping to be able to pick up enough boards next time I come home that I can finish closing it in. I won't be closing in the south side, I'm just going to be using the cage, please don't make me regret this...... I would really like to see the stretch set in like NOW but thats not going to happen, maybe next time I'm home we'll start to see flowers, if they don't get wrecked in the mean time, gotta get my wall up!!!!! I'm also going to be setting up an automated curing system this week, I'll have pictures up next week.

On week 2 the woolrock got some mohoo, i fixed it by putting water mixed with "safe roots" from Hydrotek directly into the rockwool superfice. After a couple days that problem was solved and the plant kept growing very well. And also i started to train the plants (lst)

A breve raccoglieremo, il freddo aumenta e la piantane risente. Niente da aggiungere, ho commesso degli errori e messo sotto stress le piante che cmq hanno fatto il loro ciclo.

Great nose and terps. Cookies beats out Humboldt in quality. Yield was very low but that could have been growers error

Hi guy and girls , This week we fire up are much awaited 12 pot run , I started growing in August due to current and on going lockdowns which is now turning into a more serious grow op. Intro 1.5 m W x 2m L X 1.8 m H X2 loadstar 660w dimmable ballast 250w , 450w , 600w , 660w, settings 2x Amazon basic fans 1x floor fan 2x clip on VORTEX fans ( adding soon ) X 5 16 Litre pots X 7 13 Litre pots X 2 Euro reflotors X x 20 m squared of mylar X lots of electric cables X 2 new HID dual spec bulbs X Swift Air filter ( carbon filter ) X basic humidifier X temperature control unit X 450w frost defender ( heater ) X electrical timers heavy duty and non heavy duty X PPM meter X PH reader X GHE and VITALINK nutes ( check pages ) Some of the equipment that I'll be using in this grow along with the gorilla girl xl auto well be growing 4 cream Mandarin xl auto and x 4 Black Cream Auto and attempting some sort of ScroG attempt on these lady's or LST to keep my canopy even but also to allow as much light penetration and usage of light ad we don't want to see the floor as where wasting space ... So to start this auto run I'm currently refitting the grow room but germanation will happen within this current week I'd say the 26-1-2021 Be back with more info Hey guys back with a quick update some new pics of the upcoming grow we start 25-1-2021 That's her up and running at x400w x2 Hopefully we achieve the high THC % of 25% some plants may surpass this amount under optimal conditions. A tall stemmed 6th (Gen)eration autoflowering Plant coming from gorilla girl (photoperiod) and Sweet Gelato auto Alongside the gorilla girl xl auto is Cream Mandarin xl auto Black cream auto 26-1-2021 girls have all cracked there shells and are now making there way above ground Mabey the 28-1-2021 we shall see some leaves popping up .. then we can start the clock and hopefully keep harvest time to the breeders recommended flowering time ..! Okay so checked again 17-1-2021 l, most have removed there shells and are now forming there frist leaves , all 12 girls seem to be on the same page, Mabey a days difference but that's not gonna matter . Stunning the plant is a different situation as that plant or plants will be at a different stage of under the netting which would not be a good thing so hoping all goes well from here to week two is to monitor the plants for the to introduce nutes Anyone any safe and effective pest prevention and cleaning products that are plant safe

What a happy girl! Have added no nutes yet and letting the soil do the work for now (NFTG4+extra perlite). I have done a second dosing of malted barley that was hand ground and dusted before watering. Seems to enjoy the soil and light so far. Wish I could get temps up reliably but the electric heater had temp swings that were going to cause issues, so she's gonna live in the 68-72 day time and 64 nighttime for now Also! Wanted to include a short video of her dancing in the wind😊

Trichomes are milky but the pistils have too many white ones still. Flowers have slowed down in their growth. Another week to go maybe.

Day 49 These beauties continued to stretch after the defoliation. Stretch is done and the buds are getting bigger. I’ve secured some of the branches to the trellis to create more space between them. Everything is going fine. Not much to comment on. Happy Growing 🌱

Week 3 (06/02 - 12/02) During this week I will try to apply the LST to the plants. On the inkbird, I will switch the fan with the extractor. The heating/cooling system parameters will be: 23.5°C (+0.5°/-3°C). The extractor will be on 5 hours in the morning, 5 hours in the afternoon. I will continue to feed the plants with tap water and only 2ml/l of Bio-grow. I will increase the light up to 75% with a distance of 30cm from the top of the plants. 06/02 D15: - 07/02 D16: first LST, bent down the pants directly to the soil. Watered the plants with tap water (0,5l each) 08/02 D17: I increased the inkbird cooling parameter to +1°C because the temperature inside the tent starts to increase faster. The plants seem to have responded well to first training 09/02 D18: watering day. I added 2ml of Bio-grow to 1.5l of tap water. 10/02 D19: - 11/02 D20: today I applied a second LST bending because the plants started to grow strait. After the training I sprayed the pants with tap water. 12/02 D21: watering day, I added 3ml of Bio-grow to 1.5l of tap water

Day 68 flower. I stopped using the Ripen on day 65. Since then I've been using Florakleen at 2tsp per gallon and RO water only for flush. Pineapple express is flushing at a faster rate still. I had to brace several colas because of the size so I'm really watching closely for any molding issues. I'm planning to hang her up at day 71ish. Rainbow cake is turning a little purple. It looks like its almost finished and I'm planning to pull around day 71 as well. London mint cake is finishing up nicely. I think she's going to need a little more time flushing so she might get pulled a little later than the other 2. Hope you like my pics and videos!

Hey ihr Lieben! Nach 10 Tagen Trocknung habe ich das Curing begonnen. Die Äste haben geknackt und mir signalisiert, dass sie bereit sind. Nach 5h Handarbeit war ich dann fertig. Mega anstrengend :P! Aber hat sich sehr gelohnt :). Trotz das ich dieses Mal anstatt mit mineralischem Dünger mit einem ein Komponenten-Dünger gedüngt habe (Hesi Bio-Bloom), habe ich sogar mehr herausbekommen... Bin sehr zufrieden :). Nach dem Curing habe ich das Material in die Terplocbags gepackt und lasse sie nun dort schön fermentieren - das hat letztes Mal sehr gut geklappt und kann ich nur empfehlen. Danke an alle die mich bei meinem 2ten Run begleitet haben, ihr seid die Besten! Mir hat es auch mega Spaß gemacht und ich freue mich schon darauf, meinen 3ten Run mit euch zu teilen - mehr Infos dazu kommen bald.

Es war eine gute Woche 👍 Milde Temperaturen und kaum Regen, dazu Wind und Sonne. Die Blüten werden dicker 🙂 die ersten unteren Fächerblätter vergilben und fallen ab. Die Larry og ist in Blütewoche 4, die AK in Blütewoche 2, Lemon in der 3. Es läuft ziemlich gut 👍 😊 bis nächste Woche ✌️

Hiiigh friends 🙌 Welcome to week 8. 😍 Due to too much unwanted stress, flowering is delayed. The big lady was unable to withstand the training. Her neck is broken. But she is far from giving up and will fight to the end.. 😊 See you next week. 👋 Arturo for KannaKullektiv 🙏
