Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Flowering Plants)- This week really threw me a curveball! I had a major equipment failure. On Wednesday (day 24 of flower) I went to check on the flower room about 3 hours after my lights should have turned on and noticed my S44 Ionboard was not powered on. I quickly began to asses the situation and determined that my actual driver on the light fixture was broken and there was no power running to the light. The light was also my main power source for my controller 69 pro, so it went off as well and was unable to let me know the light was powered off via the app. When I noticed this I called a grow-bro of mine, and asked if I could borrow his Viparspectra Par 700 he had, he purchased the AC Infinity Evo 10 Ionframes and had that light sitting around! Shout out to @Mr. Wowie for the quick save. With his help, I was able to get a light back over my plants within 4 hours. Not ideal but better than it could have been! The next day I was able to purchase and install a used HLG 550 locally. This light is even meaner than my old ionboard! Boasting 480 watts of power from the MeanWell drivers, Samsung LM301H diodes, it was repaired and has an import heat sink, however it doesn't seem to get too hot. It's very similar to my old light and the plants seem to be doing fine, with no signs of herming or extreme stress. This week I noticed both Phenos flowers are really beginning to swell up. By the end of flower I'm sure these nugs will be almost soda can sized. The number 1 Pheno is still purple as can be and has clearly not ceased it's anthocyanin production. The number 2 Pheno caught my eye, or more my nose this week it's giving off an awesome terp profile. It has a bit fruitier of a smell than the #1, sort of like a good peach strain, super lemon haze or good strawberry Pheno. Where it's really in your face. The #1 Pheno is total candy, sweet. Huge diversity in these 2 phenos! Very cool to see. I installed a new Dehumidifier this week to keep up with the humid spring. I purchased an Air Plus 50 pint on sale on Amazon. This dehumidifier works very well and has been doing a wonderful job at managing humidity levels in the flower room. I gave the last feeding of build a flower and tm-7 this week and will be watering with only water and Fish Sh!t from this point unless the plants tell me otherwise. Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2 (Clones)- The clones did not have as interesting of a week, however they have began shooting more branches out and are developing the stereotypical thick Raspberry Ripple stalk, we've come to know and love these last 5 months. They seem to be on a good growth pace to run a perpetual cycle with. I feel they'll be pretty well ready for flower by the time I harvest the original plants. I still plan to keep a mother of each Pheno. Then begin my next Pheno hunt of Whiteberry by Paradise seeds. That pretty much wraps this week's entry up! Until next week, Happy Growing!- Starfish

Getting so hot here now but she's loving it. Taking 4L-5L of water per day, half in the morning half in the evening. She might get stressed and start to wilt a bit in July & August as it gets crazy hot here during summer but I have a sun canopy I can pull over her if needed. Still no issues with pests. Have been giving her a spray with insecticide every 2-3 days. Starting to feel quite confident of the outcome of this grow already. I tried to grow this strain last season but it went horribly wrong owing to some poor decisions made by myself (tried out a pine bark mulch & some 'companion plants'. Never again!).

Start of week 6 now, Not sure if this is technically in the flowering stage yet, but def seeing more of the white white pistils. Accidentally overdid it a little on nutrients so had a good flush with some ph balanced water and all seems good, just 1 or 2 burn spots on a leaf here and there. Dialling it all back to keep it safe at the moment. I've had to bend the tallest plant over and am using my tent net to secure it for now. Included a few vids this time, so feel free to let me know if you spot any issues. Smell is now noticeable if I leave my grow tent open whilst watering, so glad I got a carbon filter. :D Also had to get a bit inventive to shift the LED lights up a bit as Im using a 160 CM tall tent. I am planning to bend most of the tops down to the net hight, so hopefully this will keep things from getting light burn as still have about 25 inches of space from the net to the LED its self. Watering is around 600 Ml per pot per 24 hrs just now. Edit: 04/09/18 Added 2 more pics, mostly on some of the lowest leafs, noticed some marks, thankfully just 1 or 2, so not widespread and could equally just be a bit of nutrient burn, but thought Id post to see if anyone notices something I dont.

The seedling had a solid first week. There was misting only when the soil was dry. True leaves showed up right on schedule, stretch stayed reasonable, and by the end of the week the plant was clearly established ~3+ inches with no major stress signals. A few light-distance tweaks and humidity adjustments but overall a successful seedling phase, good foundation set!! Until next week!

Alrighty guys, Day 35ish check the ladies out! Dam! They starting to pack on weight! The main stem is thick as my pinky finger but they are currently short plants. Hoping they will stretch as they develop through the flower phase. Also added fabric pot risers to promote airflow under the pots to help even out the pot drying patterns. Note: I have now learned that my original formula used for the pre soil mix with organic amendments was a bit too hot. I do see dark green leaves with clawing only on one plant. I'm going to dial back the premix to 2-3tbs/gal of media @50/50 mix of the 284 and 444, rather than 4tbs. I may even push for 2tbs and add regular light feeding of calmag for the next grow to help with the heavy coco coir mix soil from promix hgcc line. Lesson learnt, so let's keep pushing hard to get these ladies finished! Also I picked up a bottle of beneficial enzymes to help with root rot for the one droopy plants, however I'm going to apply it to all my plants just for the benefits of a strong root system into flowering. Shouts outside to @LaBOSSANOVA for the quick tips. I'll keep you all updated on ms droppy and the gang. Happy growing freints!

Starting to see some more amber, but minimal amounts. Definitely seeing the trichomes turning milkier though. Might end up cutting the plant down in half, maybe a week and a half tops, she's been going for sooo damn long. It's day 119 and we decided we're gonna take it down this weekend, the 19th of February will mark the 17th week since it first sprouted, so what better time to chop! We're also going to go the fridge dry method and then cure in Grove bags, hoping for some real nice smelling buds after all this.

Aquí tenemos el cultivo de la cepa ansiada desde hace ya un par de años de la cual me he enamorado. Para mi, una de las mejores que he probado. El cuarto de cultivo trabaja por norma general con un foco 600w de sodio y unos led COB 50w cada uno de apoyo exclusivamente cuando tengo buena producción solar (por donde vivo suele ser lo habitual). Sistema de cultivo Dutch Pot Hydro. Riego 15 minutos on 15 minutos off (luz on) 15 on 45 off (luz off) El cuarto cuenta con una buena equipacion para tener todos los parámetros optimizados. control del clima y control del agua. Biofiltro y bomba de aire en el tanque. Notas: Esquejes prematuros con poca raiz EC demasiado alta 1.5 n/S por no tener la arlita lo suficiente lavada. Ph con mucha correccion (Ph-) para estabilizar en 6.3 Aplicación foliar aceite de neem el 22/05

So far I harvest the top half of the plant and its 71 grams dry and the next part i harvest is 53 grams wet, @exotic_seeds and their Black Haze is growing great in the apotforpot super soil!!! Its been a super easy grow so for and it all has to do with the genetics and soil, the buds are deep purple and covered in trichs and orange hairs, the smell went down a lot in drying but should come back with the cure. I know some of the pics look out of focus but i purposely picked them if you look you can see why.
