Grow Diary Update: Week 5 - Pre-Flowering and LST Evaluation Entering Pre-Flowering Stage At the end of last week, the first pistils appeared, marking the beginning of the pre-flowering stage for my plants 🙌 There's much to manage now. To support optimal stretching, I've adjusted the nutrients following 2/3 of the Terra Aquatica feeding schedule: CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.33 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 1.33 ml/l The nutrient solution now has an EC of 1.3 mS/cm (638 ppm PPM-500/TDS) with a pH of 6.1. These adjustments aim to promote vigorous growth and prepare the plants for flowering. Weather and Growth With significant weather improvements, my plants are thriving at full speed. Every centimeter gained now counts towards maximizing the final yield, turning around from the challenging weeks prior. Pest Management I'm fortunate not to have encountered pests like spider mites, aphids, or thrips. However, the persistent snail issue remains. Nightly patrols with a flashlight have been effective, and placing old lettuce leaves away from the plants has helped trap and remove snails, ensuring the plants remain undisturbed. LST Experiment Results The two plants I trained with LST have responded admirably, showing healthy adaptation to the bending and vigorous growth. Yet, I'm at a crossroads regarding the upcoming stretch phase: should I continue to tie down branches to maintain an even canopy or allow natural upward growth to potentially boost vertical yield? Your Feedback Matters I value your insights on this critical decision. Should I proceed with low-stress training to control canopy height, or should I let the plants stretch upwards for increased productivity? Your experiences and advice are invaluable to me as I navigate this stage of my grow. Share your thoughts below! Stay tuned as I continue to document the pre-flowering stage and learn from the ongoing LST experiment in my grow diary!

I was told this is a 1:1 CBD strain but feels more like a 2:1 Ok so this plant yelded large , thick and dense flowers that are completely covered in sugar , The flavour and smell is fantastic even without a cure , I've been using this in the vapourisor and the flavour is incredible , A very thick and heavy gas that does not make you cough at all , and for me it's a very heavy head high and then you get a very pleasant feeling in your lungs and chest , The effect is very relaxing and claiming , For me it's all you expect from cannabis without the head f*CK It's a really nice smoke indeed , Too the point that I think I will not be turning this plant into oils as in the decarbing temperature you need too choice ether the CBD or the thc at they both decarb at different temperatures CBD needing alot higher temp too activate than thc does , so you ether burn off the thc too get the CBD , so I think this will be my night time chillax smoke as it's real nice ,

Now she is hanging at 60 degrees 60 % .

it took some time to go into flowering i should have done the dark period earlier to induce flowering i lost at least 2 weeks no problem, first flowering hairs are visible i topped this plant a bit early so yield won't be so big i just want to taste this strain from my own hands hope she does well

The plants are doing well. Go on.

I can’t believe it’s week 7 already these weeks have been flying by these lady’s have been really easy to grow so far not much slowly them down I have been putting them threw the ringer with trying new stuff and they both are doing great I’m thinkibthe bigger lady’s actually a male it’s funny how the bigger stronger faster ones are usually males and the lady’s grow low and slow hmmmmm.

Last week went well. She is growing steadily and I can't wait to get her outside. She is going to be great once she can spread her roots in the ground. I took a few clones to attempt to keep this strain around since it was my only seed. Can't wait for the fall. She had some leaves removed and I did some lst and supercropping to even out the canopy further. She was topped on every branch to double the amount of tops. I will update as she progresses. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Hi Growmies Here we are at the expected finish time and the most mature of these ladies ( #1) is still only starting to cloud up her trichromes. Lots of clear ones still waiting to start ripening though and next to no Amber trichs yet. Looking at the burnt orange pistils and her overall appearance , without checking her trichromes, I would have harvested her too early. Well worth the investment to hit their sweet spots. The other two ladies are filling put nicely too with plenty of mains within the canopy. Their lowers could have done with more light from a good defol but I wanted to are how much difference it would make. The #1 has been on just water the past few days but no signs of her cannibalising herself yet. The other two are finishing up their second tomladt feed and I plan 1 more before I flush them for their ripening. I think that the 3 weeks for flowers to appear after the flip may have added the extra time to their finish. Until next time , be well.

Langsam bilden beide Terpene. Für mich sind Terpene der wichtigste Punkt bei Cannabis. Der Geschmack bzw. Terpene haben großen Einfluss auf die Wirkung, deshalb bin ich sehr auf das Terpenenprofil gespannt und ob ein Phenotyp vielleicht ein Keeper wird. Das ist nicht mein erster Run, aber die Vorfreude ist genauso groß wie beim ersten Mal. Ich denke ich konnte die Sorte Melonade Runtz (fem) bis hier hin schon ganz gut repräsentieren 💚🍀

Flush week

Hey guys and girl the are going really good not mutch to say this week hahahha everything go's super smooth Only problem is the humidity I can't get it under 60 % speak to you next week

After 2 weeks I chose my favorite plant of the three and prepared her for the Autopot. Now she needs to root this pot for another 2 weeks before we can turn on the Aqua Valve and the tank. DLI 30

Bud sites started to appear everywhere, plants are looking healthy and are still stretching a bit. I've decided to add x2 infrared strips to the lighting setup, in order to improve the spectrum for blooming and trigger the emerson effect (infrared 15 mins before full darkness). I did notice in the past that infrared before darkness helps a lot and speed up the whole flowering process. I started to add some "Organic Bloom" to my soup. Various phenotypes are showing their traits, some plants are true sativas, others are more hybrids. I'm going to bet that the most sativas will take a few more weeks to finish. Stay tuned!

La planta aun está en pleno estirón del inicio de la floración, por lo que tengo que ir cropeandola casi a diario para mantener una altura homogénea en las ramas y que no se estire demasiado. Están comenzando a formarse los primeros brotes, aun no tiene un olor intenso pero ya huele a haze y eso es maravilloso... aun le quedan meses de floración pero ya tengo ganas de fumarmela.

30.12.2026 – BT58 Bei allen drei Pflanzen wurde – mit Ausnahme der Apples & Oranges – nur noch pH-korrigiertes Wasser mit Cal/Mag gegeben. Die Apples & Oranges erhielt die letzten drei Gießgänge ausschließlich Wasser und wurde nun etwa eine Woche lang nicht mehr gegossen, bis zur Ernte. Des Weiteren war dies der letzte Gießgang in der Blütewoche mit Cal/Mag. Für die restlichen zwei Pflanzen gibt es nun ebenfalls nur noch Wasser, um im Drain einen EC-Wert von 1,0 zu erreichen.

Sorry to keep you waiting

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. Not much to report on the Bubble Runtz, , she popped above soil on day 3 and is now on day 7 and is working on her 2nd set of true leaves. I started prepping the Coco Coir by flushing down to .4 EC and then soaking in water with an EC of 2.0 with Cal Mag and a PH of 6.8. I will let it soak until the seedlings are ready to be transplanted hopefully by next weekend or shortly thereafter. The weather in my region is perfect for cultivating seedlings as it is fairly hot and humid and I only have the Spectrum X running at 30% so it is not putting out much heat and I also have a humidifier running in the tent on low which is maintaining a RH of around 68%. I do have the AC Infinity fan kick on here and there just to keep some fresh air in the tent but no real issues with heat. This is my first run with Tastebudz genetics and super excited to try a cross of Bubble Gum and Runtz. I plan to build a mainline and flip as soon as all 5 mainlines are built, hopefully around week 7. This Medic Grow light is perfect for a 5X5, and the AC Infinity 8" exhaust does an excellent job of keeping the tent cool. I will set up an auto feeding system which consists of a reservoir, and some 1/2" tubing that is hooked to a submersible pump in the reservoir and set to feed for 1 minute every 6 hours through halo feeders connected to ball valves to adjust the flow. The runoff then flows via gravity to a 5 gallon bucket in the tent with a shallow pan condensate pump that pumps the runoff out of the tent when it gets above 3 inches to another reservoir. I have been growing fruit and vegetables for over 40 years and I have recently switched to high frequency fertigation in Coco Coir for my tomatoes as well, as I believe this growth medium combined with this technique is the safest, most environment friendly, and foolproof method of getting monster yields no matter what crop you are growing, and I have seen massive results in both cannabis and tomatoes. My goal is to have these ladies transplanted by around day 14-17, and have the first toppings done within 48 hours or so of transplant. I hope everyone has a safe and peaceful weekend. Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled
