-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
(Following text was translated with tools and reviewed, sorry for mistakes, misspellings or nosense things)
As you can see I've done a defoliation this week. Yes, I have really gone over the top, I have removed many more leaves than I had, and the tails of the plants has not come to join at all due to the failed defoliation.
Being the first defoliation I do, I did not really know what I was doing and I went crazy. Now that it has been several weeks since I made this defoliation, I realize that I should not have removed the leaves from the nodes of the tails, because they have stopped growing and have not joined with their superior parts. Anyway, the plants are beautiful today and although they could be much better I feel very happy with them.
I know I've made 2 fatal mistakes in this grow
- The first has been the massive defoliation badly done, defoliation yes, but with head ... do not follow my example.
- The second failure that I see today, is that I did not leave enough growth time (18/6) after having made the last pruning and that has made the tails have been a length much less than what would have been desired, I think that 2 more weeks of growth would have been perfect.

-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
Como podéis ver esta semana he hecho una defoliación. Si, efectivamente me he pasado de listo, he quitado muchas más hojas de las que debía y las colas de las plantas no ha llegado a unirse del todo debido a la fallida defoliación.
Al ser la primera defoliación que realizo, no sabía muy bien que hacía y me lancé a lo loco. Ahora que han pasado varias semanas desde que realicé esta defoliación, me doy cuenta de que no debí de haber quitado las hojas de los nodos de las colas, pues estos han dejado de crecer y no se han unido con sus partes superioras. De todas maneras, las plantas están preciosas a día de hoy y aunque podrían estar mucho mejor me doy con un canto en los dientes.
Se que he cometido 2 errores gordos en este cultivo
- El primero ha sido la defoliación masiva mal realizada, defoliación si, pero con cabeza.... no sigáis mi ejemplo.
- El segundo fallo que yo veo a día de hoy, es que no dejé suficiente tiempo de crecimiento (18/6) después de haber realizado las últimas podas y eso ha hecho que las colas hayan quedado de una longitud muy inferior a la que hubiera deseado, creo que 2 semanas más de crecimiento hubiera sido perfecto.
-----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO-----

11/05: another week on autopilot. They look like they could use a slight defoliation, but i haven't had a chance to get in there and do it. Will get it taken care of sometime this week.
There has been a noticeable growth in flowers this week. No signs of any purple outside of some stems.
These look and smell exactly like OG Kush. And that is not what i was expecting at all. I am personally not a fan of OG Kush and so I am really hoping for some significant changes over the next few weeks.
If i were growing OG Kush, i would be thrilled with the results. They are growing plump quickly and getting insanely frosty very early - also something that all the OG Kush i have grown does. Alas I am not growing OG Kush, these are what FastBuds told me were Purple Lemonade, and based on all of their marketing material, this is not what I should be seeing or smelling. And im unhappy about that.

High,
this is the last week they get some nutes. The PK 13/14 week is over, so I don't give it anymore (FD40 was the last time they got it).
On FD43 they got a 1,6 EC nutrient solution (60ml Flores/10l + Zyme & Boost).
On FD46 they got a 1,3 EC nutrient solution (44ml Flores/10l + Zyme & Boost).
I also checked the drain - EC 2,7 / pH 6,4. 👍
This was the last time I ferted them.
On FD49 I flushed every plant with 4l of tap water. After I've done that I watered them with 1l of tap water + Zyme & Boost. 😊
Stay green.

Upper growth slowed for about a week or two and root developed, but then the top started growing, and branches started forming. Leaves started getting bigger.

Day 14 veg: The remaining 4 are doing really well know. Even the #4 has woken up for the fun.
1 is the biggest of the group so far with #2and #3 close behind.
#1 is on her 5th node today and I am considering a topping instead of then end over 5 main style i have been trying out. I can afford more height than I thought i could with the autos being slightly smaller than i usually flip them at so grow less in veg. She is also the pot that has the feed pellets in the soil so lets see how she does.
#2 is on the outer edge of the light at present but will go under the sp250 soon with her sisters.
#3 is a slightly lighter green than the rest so i will watch her in case the pot is not feeding her enough naturally .
#4 was the one I wasn't sure would do much but she has settled down now finally andnhss new leaves growing now.i think she will be behind the others in timing only.
I am going to germinate the 3 other strains tomorrow to get them into this exotic mix too. Diary to follow !.
Be well folks , Welcome aboard and thank you to Exotic for these ladies too.

Edit: I came home from work after making my weekly log entry yesterday and I could smell my grow from my driveway... so I asked for help. THANK YOU OOZLEFINCH FOR THE HELP.. THIS IS WHY WE ASK FOR HELP...
I left a question on here stating that my new canister wasn't working and asked for generic advise. He left an answer that pointed out the fact that my exhaust fan might be set waaaay to high... and it was! It turns out there's a limit to the amount of air that filter fan 'scrub', and my exhaust fan goes way over that limit even on 6 or 7.. I turned it down to 3 and the smell got better immediately. ☮️
Still on auto pilot at this point... I'm really close to harvest.. and I'm not even on day 60 😲. I created videos this weeks, they capture the plants in ways that a still picture just won't.
My entire house stinks.. my neighbors are looking at my funny, and my wife thinks a family of skunks is hiding in our walls... I've never had this problem.. I even got a brand new carbon air scrubber and its not helping 🤣
Process/ Environment changes since last week:
- To help preserve the terpenes I've been trying to lower my temperature, which is hard without an AC unit I'm not plugging in an ac just to grow some plants. I'm at 24- 26 degrees C (75 - 82 F).
- I've been lowering my humidity accordingly to keep VPD in a good range
- I lowered my lights closer to my plants, turning them up would just add to the heat.
- I'm defoliating as much large fan leaves off as possible
- My watering pH is at around 6.7 to 6.8.. I will not be flushing these plants
- I rotate my plants every day to make sure I'm getting light to hit every node it can
This week I'm pulling out the digital scope and doing the first trichome checks for these babies. The cheese auto is going to get the chop by the end of next week.. I hope you like the video I added of it.. it's the easiest plant I've ever grown and she's going to be FIRE.
The blackberry auto is giving off a gas/berry smell and is very sticky to the touch. A beautiful triploid... my first and I hope to get many more.
The Forbidden Runtz smells just like a zkittles does, it's bang on. Very dense very sticky buds. I almost tossed her during the seedling stage too due to her mutation. I'm glad I reconsidered ☮️
Thank you Fastbuds

Lots of things going on last week.. We started LST, made a few adjustments, gave the ladies a haircut, and further refined the nutes👍
Looking forward to seeing some signs of flowering this week. 🙏
I had believed that I was a man of patience 😅
Stay tuned for pics and videos throughout the week.🙌
Happy Growing!

11/10 Week 7 Long week
Maggie is responding well to treatment, will continue until I see something that says its gone far enough.
I know she needs defoliation but I just hate to take health(ish) leaves when its already stressed. Maybe next week air flow is good.
May add some sulfer to the mix but keeping it as is otherwise, 6.8 PH, 1-2% H2O2 and CalMag in a day or two as she drys.
Brandy... not sure it did as much for her but see nothing that says stop so will continue as the pot drys.
Layla ya got me on my knees... shes my girl. lovely not perfect but has handled things that left other plants stunted and yellowed.
Were she a photo I would have cloned her.
Continuing feeding as I have, may add Karo may not, defoliation continues as needed.
May this continue God willing and the creek dont rise.
Last note - Raised the lights up 4 inches to 22" for better dispersal across the canopy now that its getting used.
Think this strain likes that.
11/11 Looking better.
Did some defoliation on Maggie, nothing stressing and mostly damaged leaves though some were for blocking bud sites
Same on Brandy though less so.
Picking up some chemical bloom nuets so I can continue lightly feeding them through these treatments, the organics are getting blasted by the h2o2
Layla looking her usual lovely self, buds building, her and Maggie get fed today, Brandy still too wet.
11/12
Brandy still not dry enough, may adopt the feeding I set out for Maggie below when it is time.
Changing the treatment on Maggie, for one feed only dropping the calmag and adding two TBS of Epson salts , fish sh!t and recharge to get the bug healthy, and continue the cocotek nuets for the time being, it the only mineral fert I have, to the water at 6.5 PH . Believe the H2O2 has done all its going to do repairing the roots and now I can address the sulfur (i hope) issue. Plant is huge BTW so if I get her producing, yield is going to be huge. IF
Layla just continue as before, the Dr Earth is doing a marvelous job of covering all the bases. Will absolutely use this when I go back to organics.
Had to reset the lights again... Maggie :)
11/13 New Pics of Maggie as she is the only one causing me concern, no feed today still too wet
Defoliated bottom 1/3 of Maggie getting rid of all unwanted under growth. Will continue as it goes. Large leaves looking normal now.
11/14 Feeding time:
Maggie and Brandy - 1 gal at 6.5 1.5 TBS Epsom Salt (decided to hit the middle), 5ml cocotek A&B , 6ml Fish Sh!t holding the recharge for next time.
Layla - 1 gal at 6.5 5ml Cal Mag , 5ml Bio-Bloom, 5ml Fish Sh!t
Getting a bit of height growth on Maggie. Expect more if we are right on this. Decided to hold off a mag/Sulfur foliar until tomorrow if needed.
New Vid posted few minutes post feed. Maggie was a bit dry as she is really drinking
11/15 New Vid
Foliar feed of 1.5 TBS Epsom Salt / gal unPH water on Maggie primarily though also hit Layla and Brandy.
Only the very top of the colas now have the paleness so progress.
