IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.

I have also lowered the light a bit, increased the nutrients to 2ml per 1000ml and watered about 4/500ml. I have also changed the light schedule to 20 hours again. Also I don't know why I have done the LST the way I have, i saw something similar on YouTube and the stem was bending in that direction one day so I thought I would give it a go. It might not have been the smartest move on my first grow but who knows, we will see. I am thinking about getting Advanced Nutrients BigBud and was wondering if anyone thinks it is worth it or to stick with what I am using the whole way through before flush?

All in all a great genetic. Grew into insane colas. The photos above are of only half the total yeild as I have 8oz bagged up and sealed. After a weeks curing it has improved but not enough to really blow me away. I'll be back to seek my revenge in the future but for now its goodbye.

Hello again, Growmies, As we proudly step into week 10 with our Epic Buzz, the symbiosis of nature and technology in our garden is truly flourishing. The dedication of TrolMaster's automation system is reflected in the thriving state of Epic Buzz #1, #2, and #3, which are burgeoning with vitality and promise. Epic Buzz #1 is a spectacle, adorned with clusters of dense flowers that are bursting with trichomesโ€”each bud a sparkling testament to the perfect environment we've provided. The light frosting is spreading across the foliage, foretelling the potent harvest that awaits us. In our controlled ecosystem, the average Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) has been right on target, ensuring optimal transpiration without stressing our beloved plants. This careful balance optimizes their uptake of water and nutrients, fostering the luscious flowering we're observing. Siblings #2 and #3 are not to be outdone, with their own dense, sticky flowers reaching for the heavens, eagerly soaking in every ounce of light. Their robust health and vigour are clear indicators of the success of our environmental stewardship. Our environmental graph this week is a testament to our commitment to stability. The temperatures and humidity have held within the ideal range, if we discount the outliers, maintaining a conducive atmosphere for the Epic Buzz family's development. The steadfast nature of the EC and pH of our nutrient solution has played a pivotal role in this week's triumph. This unwavering supply of nutrition has been crucial, providing our Epic Buzz plants with the sustenance they need to thrive. As we look to the coming weeks, it's with a sense of eager anticipation. The Epic Buzz trio, with their hedgehog-like buds and early frost, are not just plants but representations of cultivation mastery. They are a living tribute to the precision of our environment, lovingly controlled and monitored for their benefit. And so, as we anticipate the final stretch of this grow cycle, we remain captivated by the daily progress and the nearing harvest. With each day, we're reminded of the beauty and strength found in diversity and balance. Stay lifted, Salokin

๐Ÿ’™ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 9 ๐Ÿฅ’ Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno B ๐ŸŒฟ When The Girls Decide They're Bigger Than The Room Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ And what a chapter this has been. If you're new to this diary, welcome aboard! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants through their journey from seed to harvest, with each phenotype receiving her own dedicated diary. All four girls share the same tent, lighting, irrigation, nutrition, environment and overall cultivation strategy. The idea remains simple: Keep the variables as consistent as possible... And let the plants tell their own story. And this week? The plants had quite a story to tell. Because apparently... we ran out of room before they ran out of energy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ Today we're giving the spotlight to Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno B. And just like her sisters... She's shining. ๐ŸŒธ Week Nine โ€“ Okay Girls, We Get It... You're Growing Last week, we knew the stretch was coming. We talked about it. We expected it. We knew that seven weeks of vegetation, warm temperatures and four incredibly vigorous plants could potentially create a serious flowering stretch. Well... They delivered. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B has reached approximately 145 cm. And that's before we start adding the height of the pot, substrate and drainage system underneath her. Suddenly, our vertical space became a very serious consideration. The plants were simply getting too close to the LEDs. So this week wasn't about watching from the sidelines. We had to adapt the room. And honestly? I'm very happy with the result. ๐Ÿ’ก Making More Vertical Space The first major change was moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent and onto the top. Previously, that equipment was occupying valuable space inside the tent. By relocating it, we were able to reclaim some of that vertical room. The extraction setup now pulls air from inside the tent through the carbon filter and extractor positioned above the tent before exhausting it away. That gave us the opportunity to raise the LEDs much closer to the top of the tent. And those few extra centimetres? They suddenly became extremely valuable. The plants aren't getting shorter. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But at least now they have more room between the canopy and the lighting. And that's exactly what we needed. ๐Ÿ”ฅ A Little Too Close To The LEDs Before we made the adjustment, some of the taller tops had already gotten a little too close to the LEDs. There were some burned leaves and affected tops. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that changed the overall health of the plant. But definitely enough to tell us: They had pushed the limits. So we caught it. We raised the lights. We opened the canopy. And now we're watching the plants respond. These things happen in a real grow. You can plan your distances. You can watch the numbers. You can calculate your available space. And then four plants decide they're going to ignore your calculations. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ Message received. โœ‚๏ธ Deep Defoliation โ€“ Opening The Room Again After creating more vertical space, we also needed to deal with the incredible amount of foliage these plants had accumulated. So we went through the room with a proper deep defoliation. We removed the leaves that were no longer helping us maintain the structure we wanted. The objective wasn't simply: "Remove leaves." It was about cleaning up an extremely dense flowering environment. Opening the interior. Improving visibility. Creating more space between developing flowering sites. And making the structure easier to manage as flowering progresses. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B handled the process beautifully. And now, looking at her after the cleanup... I can actually see the plant again. The branches. The flowering sites. The structure. The support underneath. Everything is much more visible. And that's exactly what I wanted. ๐ŸŒฟ Why We Defoliate I think it's important to explain what we're actually trying to accomplish when we do this. Healthy leaves aren't bad. They're part of the plant's engine. So we're not removing foliage because leaves are somehow unwanted. We're managing excessive density. After seven weeks of vegetation and an enormous flowering stretch, the plants had simply produced more vegetative material than we wanted to carry into the next stage. The defoliation gives us a cleaner structure and allows us to better observe what's happening inside the canopy. It isn't a magic button. It doesn't guarantee anything. And I'm certainly not expecting the plant to suddenly produce more flowers simply because we removed leaves. It's about managing the structure we've created. Now the work is done. The plants get to respond. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ The Second SCROG Is Installed Another major change this week was the addition of a second SCROG net. The first net did exactly what we wanted during vegetation. It helped us spread the canopy and create the structure. But now we're looking at plants around 145 cm tall, with flowering still developing. Those branches are going to have a lot more weight to carry as the flowers mature. So the second net is there primarily as additional support and organization. We're preparing the structure for what's coming. And I think we'll be very happy we did it. Because looking at these girls now... I don't think they're planning on producing tiny flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ More Airflow โ€“ One Fan Up, One Fan Down We also added a second Zamnesia clip fan underneath the canopy. Previously, we had airflow higher in the room. Now we've added another source lower down. The idea is to keep air moving throughout the entire plant structure rather than concentrating circulation in only one zone. With one fan higher and one lower, we're creating a more dynamic, vortex-like circulation pattern through the room. Air moves. It changes direction. It travels through the canopy. And the lower portion of the plants isn't being forgotten. This is particularly useful now that we've opened the canopy with the defoliation. We created more space. Now we want that space to have good air movement. And honestly... the room looks beautiful. โœ‚๏ธ Clean Scissors โ€“ Always Another small detail that deserves a mention is the Zamnesia curved scissors. I really like using these for the smaller and more delicate work. For much of my defoliation, I actually prefer using my fingers. If I can gently remove a leaf without bringing a blade anywhere near the plant, that's often what I'll do. But some leaves are awkward. Some are tucked into delicate spaces. Some simply need a precise cut. That's where the scissors come in. And regardless of whether they're brand new or already used: Clean scissors. Always. It's a simple habit, but it's one I don't compromise on. Clean tools make sense. ๐ŸŒฟ Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B โ€“ Taking It All In Stride And this is where I have to give Plant B some special credit. Look at her. She's gone through the same crazy stretch as her sisters. She's been through the room reorganization. The LEDs were raised. The canopy was deeply cleaned. A second SCROG was installed. Another fan was added. And she's still standing there looking perfectly happy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ That's what I like about this girl. She doesn't seem particularly interested in making things complicated. She just grows. And grows. And grows. At some point, I think the entire room realized: We're all Pickle Lemon Haze now. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐ŸŒธ Flowering Is Really Taking Shape The most exciting part is that underneath all this structural work, flowering is continuing exactly as we want. The plants have entered this phase with enormous momentum. The flowering sites are developing. The branches are carrying new growth. The structure we've spent weeks building is now becoming the framework for the flowers. And after this week's cleanup, those developing flowers are much easier to appreciate. The plants are no longer simply preparing to flower. They're doing it. And now we're watching the transition from flowering sites into increasingly substantial flowers. That's the part I'm really looking forward to. ๐Ÿฅ’ Different Strain, Same Room, Same Challenge Pickle Lemon Haze F1 is obviously a different genetic line from the Blue Waffle F1 girls sharing this tent. And that's exactly what makes this project so interesting. Different genetics. Different diaries. Different plants. But under the same conditions... this week they've behaved remarkably similarly. They stretched. They became too tall. They needed more vertical space. They needed a serious cleanup. They needed additional support. They benefited from improved airflow. And now they're all standing there looking remarkably happy. That's an interesting result in itself. Sometimes genetics give you very obvious differences. Other times... different genetics find remarkably similar ways to respond to the same environment. This week has been one of those times. ๐Ÿ’ง Nutrition โ€“ The Girls Are Loving It The nutritional program has also moved forward slightly. The current recipe is: Plagron Hydro A โ€” 2.2 ml/L Plagron Hydro B โ€” 2.2 ml/L Plagron Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required That has brought the EC up to approximately 2.49 mS/cm. And the plants are clearly responding well. The foliage remains healthy. The plants are vigorous. Flowering development is progressing. And the overall room is showing us that these girls are consuming what we're giving them. So we're staying consistent. No unnecessary drama. No wild changes. Just watching what the plants tell us. And right now... they're telling us they're hungry. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Blue Tent โ€“ Current Conditions The room remains under the same general environmental conditions: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 9 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 145 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Day temperature: 27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 27ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 67% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.01 โšก EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 25.3ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 24ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 666 ppm ? Pot size: 8 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h The biggest difference this week isn't really the environment itself. It's how we've reorganized the physical space around it. The plants grew. So we adapted. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Airflow Becomes Even More Important With a room this full, airflow becomes something I want to pay increasing attention to. The canopy has been opened. The second fan is now moving air underneath. The upper airflow remains active. And extraction has been moved outside the tent. That gives us a much cleaner overall setup. We're not trying to create some artificial hurricane inside the tent. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We're simply making sure the air doesn't sit stagnant around a dense flowering structure. The goal is movement throughout the room. And with the second fan underneath the canopy, I feel much happier about the circulation we're creating. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ The Second Net โ€“ Preparing For The Finish The second SCROG is also going to become increasingly useful as flowering progresses. Right now, the branches are still relatively light. But we're not at the end. We're approaching the stage where those flowers are going to become much more substantial. So the second net is there before we need it. That's something I've learned over the years: Preparation is much easier than trying to solve a support problem after the weight arrives. For now, everything is positioned. The structure is organized. And we're ready to see what these girls can build. ๐ŸŒฟ What I Expect From The Defoliation Now that we've completed the major cleanup, I'm not expecting to constantly interfere. Quite the opposite. We've done the work. Now I want to watch the plants respond. I don't expect them to stop growing overnight. I don't expect some magical transformation. And I certainly don't expect the defoliation to replace good environmental management. What I do expect is a cleaner structure that's easier to observe and manage while the plants continue flowering. And that's enough. Sometimes the best thing you can do after making a significant adjustment... is nothing. Just watch. ๐Ÿ’™ Plant B โ€“ Still Shining There's something really satisfying about looking at Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B now. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's flowering. She's healthy. And she's survived another week of us rearranging her world. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ The plant hasn't suddenly become something different. She's still the same energetic girl we've been following. The difference is that now the room is better prepared for what she wants to do. And I think that's an important distinction. We're not trying to force her into being smaller. We're not trying to fight her genetics. We're simply giving her the structure and space to finish properly. That's the goal. ๐ŸŒธ The Blue Tent Is Finally Organized Again After all the work this week, I have to admit... I really like looking inside this tent now. The carbon filter and extractor are outside. The LEDs are raised. The canopy has been cleaned. The second SCROG is installed. The second fan is moving air underneath. The flowering structure is visible again. And the girls? They're happy. That's the important part. We may have had a little chaos getting here... but the end result looks beautiful. ๐Ÿ‘€ Looking Ahead From here, I think the plan becomes much simpler. Observe. Maintain. Support. And let them flower. The major structural work is done. The room has more vertical space. The lights have been raised. The canopy has been opened. The second support net is ready. Airflow has been improved. Nutrition has been adjusted slightly to match their appetite. Now I want to see how Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B responds as flowering continues. Will the stretch finally slow? How quickly will the flowers gain size? How much weight will those branches eventually carry? And how will her individual phenotype become more obvious as maturity approaches? Those are the questions I want answered now. And thankfully... I don't need to answer them today. The plants will. ๐Ÿ’™ Final Thoughts โ€“ Last But Definitely Not Least And here we are... last but not least. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ˜‚ And I'm writing this with a huge smile on my face because, honestly... these four girls are amazing. This week was intense. They stretched far more than we wanted. They became too tall for the original equipment arrangement. We had to move the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We dealt with a few areas of LED stress. We performed a deep defoliation. We installed a second SCROG. We added another fan underneath the canopy. We adjusted the nutrition. And after all of that... I look inside the room and think: Beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is standing there looking healthy, vigorous and completely ready for the next stage. She's approximately 145 cm tall. She's flowering. She's building. She's supported. She's getting airflow. She's getting nutrition. And she's still shining. That's what I love about this project. We can plan. We can prepare. We can train. We can measure. We can make mistakes. We can lose a little vertical space. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But ultimately... the plants get the final word. And this week, their message was very clear: We're happy. Keep going. So that's exactly what we're going to do. The major work is behind us. Now we enter the much quieter part of the journey. We provide what they ask for. We keep the environment stable. We watch the flowers develop. We support the branches. And we let these beautiful girls finish the story they started seven weeks ago. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B doesn't need a dramatic rescue story. She doesn't need a complicated intervention. She simply needs her space, her support and her time. And now... she has all three. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฅ’ ๐Ÿ™ A Huge Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics individually. A massive thank you to Plagron for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls through their incredibly vigorous growth and now deeper into flowering. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that continue helping us manage this increasingly impressive room. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping these plants consistently supplied as their demand increases. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for providing this platform where we can document the successes, the mistakes, the unexpected moments and everything in between. And finally... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. ๐Ÿ’™ Four plants. One room. Different genetics. And somehow... this week they all decided they wanted to become giants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ We gave them more room. We cleaned them up. We supported them. We improved the airflow. And now we're going to let them do what they do best. Grow. Flower. Shine. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is ready. The room is ready. The second net is ready. The airflow is ready. And the flowers are just getting started. Let's see how beautifully this girl finishes. Until next week... Keep shining, beautiful girl. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿฅ’๐ŸŒธ Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™

Absolute godsend of a start, just have to keep it up, seems like the perm bluez is loving the alien system. No water change needed yet, holding strong. E.c 1.1-1.2. Continue to let her bring herself up to 1.3-1.4 and keep her around there. Ph 5.8-6 Light will be going up to 60%! Will be topping her but won't be doing too much else and just let her do her thing 10/2/26 Doing lovely, let her keep going, topped at 5th node 13/2/26 Defoilation, shes compact as. Risen light to 80/90cm, on 60% now. Hopefully stretch her up a bit, week 3 day 6 is before and after. Leaves as big as my hand! Nice nice

Transplant day!!!! Transplanted my 5 Purple lemonade ladies from solo cups, to 5 gallon grow bags! Today is day 14 and they had a fantastic root system. (Attached a photo). I am running FFOF this run, with 20% perlite added to the mix. I will not be running any nutes until probably week 5, as fox farms comes ready to go. This will be my first run with Ocean forest. My normal medium is Cocoloco by bushdoctor. I top dressed these girls with around 2 inches of cocoloco from a previous grow, to keep the gnats and bugs down. They dont mess with the cocoloco, I'm in Hope's that the couple inches of that on top will help with this also. They will veg under a 4ft, 8 bulb T5 Light.

8/23 shes smelling so much like blueberries๐Ÿ’š im super concerned with the amount of leaves my plants are cannibalizing/ losing. They've been turning yellow and then eventually golden brownish crisp and fall off. The leaves that are falling off, only seem to be fan leaves and all the leaves around the pistils/main parts of branches/plant, all seem to be intact and very healthy still. I hope she's able to stay healthy till the finish of the grow. First outdoor grow. Learning experience ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿค˜I should have added some fish meal in the middle of July so she had some nitrogen for the beginning of flowering. I'm concerned the leaves lost is due to nitrogen deficiency. But I'm 3 weeks into flower and dont want to confuse her with more nitrogen than I have been giving 8/24 fed some more open sesame. 8/28 thinking my plants have been having a ph lock out causing magnesium deficiency

D43. The first day in the first week of flower, and everything is great in the tent. The girls both look healthy, vibrant, and strong. I transplanted the clones into small pots, and they are now waiting to go to new homes as I won't keep any of them due to lack of space. ------------------------------ D45. All is well in the tent, and the girls are already stretching after flipping. I moved the fans to get them out of the way. Space is always an issue. #JustSmallTentProblems I am still dialing in the drip system, so it's working correctly before I go on vacation. I also removed the mushroom growkit from the tent as no mushrooms have grown so far. I'll wet it again and see what happens. ------------------------------ D47. The girls are looking fantastic. They are vibrant and healthy, and pray hard with their leaves toward the light. They have already stretched a fair bit, and the branches are also fattening up. I did medium defoliation below the scrog by removing most leaves and branches that won't make it up to the light. I left a few shorter branches to see if they'll make it up into the light. Finally, I gave them a fulvic foliar spray just before lights out. As we're heading into flower, I suspect this was their last foliar feed. Though I might do one preventative IPM foliar spray. I haven't had any problems so far, but just in case. Easier to prevent a problem, than to solve the problem. ------------------------------ D49. The end of the first week of flower, and the girls are just rocking the tent. However, I need to address the RH, as it is a bit high for flower. Yesterday, the entire tent was without power for five hours, so there was no light or exhaust. Fortunately, one of the circulation fans has a built-in battery and at least kept moving the air around. ------------------------------

Week 16! Week 8 of flowering. She is foxtailing on the topmost buds due to light stress. I measured 90k lux(!) at some buds, which is way too much (she got a little out of hand during the stretch, and grew way too tall) She is drinking less and less water and eating less nutrients. I think she is in the harvest window now, even though she is sprouting lots of new pistils. I will cut down and hang to dry next week, in about 5/6 days. Excited!! EDIT: BANANA ALARM Found a banana. There is probably more of them that I can't see because the lower canopy is so packed. Unsure if to harvest now or not. As it is late in flower I don't know if quality will suffer because of a few more days with herming. Opinions? EDIT II: BUD ROT As I inspected the plant today I saw a dead leaf on one of the tops, which I was able to pull right off. Turned out there was bud rot inside the bud. I cut the bud off. Will harvest later today or tomorrow.

----------- Week 5: ---------- Beginning of the 2nd week of flowering. I have noticed that the 3 biotabs that went into the ground last week, released just a little too much fertilizer in these early days of flowering. You can see that there is slight discoloration in her leaves. We go from the darker green to the lighter lime green, which indicates that she is getting just a little too much P. I fear this will probably continue for the next few weeks. Fortunately, she has a good start and basis and this will not have too many negative effects. Pushing her a little bit doesn't hurt either. Although I think I might consider using only 2 biotabs in 25l soil in the next round. First, let's wait and see how this evolves. Furthermore, of course nothing to complain. Nice further development of her budsites and she also has 2 main branches fighting for dominance. . Unwards to the second week of bloom. Until next week!

Bubble OG Gum autoflower grew really well. Super frosty colas with a sweet bubble Gum smell. The grow was fairly smooth. I did treat once for mites when she was going into flowering. Beside that there was no major issues.
