Hello Growers 🙏🏿 Start of week 4 Day 22 - placed the plants with the lowest hight on some books, so they all get the even amount of light -noticing that that plants slowly touch the back and side walls of the tent , Day 23 -they had 30 h of light with no sleep, and now the flower phase begin -start of 12-12 cycle -bottom leaves start to fall off Day 24 - forgot to turn the van on... almost everything was wet after the night -first day of 12-12 they liked it... start to see growth in height - had to adjust the height of the lights Day 25 -added some soil, cause some roots were watching out of the soil - removed all baby leaves , and most of the row above - gave them each 1,5-1,7l after 1 h after waking up - noticing huge stretch in height every day, need to adjust the light almost daily If u notice something or have any tips for me that might help, please let me know !

Day 29 - Topped both ladies at the fifth node and removed any growth below. Growth exploded since transplant and first dose of nutrients. Day 30 - Watered both ladies with around 100ml of water. They recovered from the topping and look as healthy as can be. Very happy with progress. Day 32 - Misted both ladies. Day 33 - Watered both ladies with around 250ml each. Increased dosage slightly from last feed to see how they take it. Day 35 - Misted both ladies to keep them hydrated. Maria is doing well, showing vigorous growth. Planning to top her again next week and remove any growth below the topped nodes. Juanita has fallen behind, new growth points seem to be growing sideways. Keeping an eye on her progress, hopefully she turns out ok. Not planning to top her again until normal growth resumes, do not want to stress her out.

Buds are seelling

Having a hard time deciding when to chop her..my second critical..Milky trichomes but not a single amber on the calyxes…the buds have definitely gone through a burst..becoming thicker and dense..some buds falling over so I tied the base with string for support. This week so many white pistils have popped out and sites like reddit or roll it up are telling me some strains have white hairs up until harvest while others claim more time is needed. I think I can wait one more week but after that I’m over it!

Overall I'm extremely impressed with this strain. Terpene profile definitely leans traditional GG#4. Extremely pungent and lingering aroma. I personally wouldn't consume this if I had any plans for the day. Definitely helps with my sleep issues. The bud to leaf ratio was above average and fairly easy to trim. The bud themselves are extremely resinous and dense. So if you've followed this grow you'll know I made to change back to organic growing and made a light change mid grow. I'm glad I went back to organics because it's always been the favorable growing style of mine. I switched to a light bar style LED from Kind LED lights and noticed a big difference over the Spider Farmer. Now let me state that the Kind pulls more watts and should technically on paper out perform the smaller SF2000 from Spider Farmer. This is not at all a slam against Spider Farmer because I love my Spider lights. I really didn't do anything special this grow other than my normal routine. I topped multiple times and the rest was a mixture of LST and HST techniques. I finished in a 10 Gallon pot to try and fill my canopy to provided grow area. The organics I pretty much kept as simple as possible. Amended soil before transplant and topdressed every 4 weeks. What I would consider the most important aspect of organic growing is to not let the soil dry out and keep the microbial life in your soil prosperous and happy. Well im not very good at this at all but I do hope everyone enjoyed this grow and appreciate all the support and comments ❤️. Thank you. Oh I pulled 12.47 ounces off of this plant dried 😁

Defoliated both plants today for the second time and also cut off some lower branches in preparation for flipping to flower .The Northern lights have responded well to all training methods, topping LST, ScrOG, and defoliation.

This started straight forward, follow PPM and don’t over feed..

Cooking along nicely, plenty of healthy bud sites

Now every time I open the tent fifty cent candy shop song intro plays in my head and my nose do that Lil bewitched dance and I smile like wow this is really like a candy shop and there's a big cotton candy party going on. The ladies a feeding now like food is running out, I'm down to ever tree days watering and they are just in overdrive with bud development. The fade has begun to be more pronounced long with the different tones of citrus.

Die Pflanze entwickelt sich prächtig und wird immer durstiger, bald kann ich sie toppen und umtopfen 😘 An Tag 22 habe ich die Pflanze bei 5 Nodien getoppt. Umgetopft am 26. Tag. 15L Am nächsten Tag ist Kleine um ein vielfaches gewachsen. 5 cm !!!😲 So das ich auch gleich auf das volle Spektrum meiner Beleuchtung wechselte 😃

Thanks y’all for being apart of this seeds will be available in the near future.. peace out and check out the pics like or give me your opinions on anything that could help me

If you have to aim for success.... you can't miss Sweet Seeds beans which have been a guarantee for me for years!😋

Oatmeal cookies has no frost. She looking a little light. I think this is week eight and she not looking straight. But other than that don’t look like I’m getting any seeds and the bud looks weak anyway. I guess I didn’t pick a winner after all. Well back to the lab. 😁

He's been through a beating - torrential rain & hot weather. He's strong!

Closing thoughts. Damn easy plant to grow responds well to training have fairly uniformed plants only on kept the purple trait but that's ok we can selection breed for that. I am happy I decided to go this route with the breeding the girl scout diesel really complemented the mother plant

Fantastic week!! Tucking under the screen everyday!

She looks beautiful, happy, and strong, the purple buds make you fall in love with this automatic kush by Dutch passion, she's being grown 100% organically with Biotabs organics. Can't feel any aromas yet, we'll see how she performs the rest of the way with her sister. ✌️🌱💚

The fun is starting! Lots of pistils popping on her and she’s stretching! At this phase when I see sites I foliar feed with liquid manganese, 1 ml per gallon, and do this one time, after week 3/4 when I really see trichomes I don’t foliar feed anymore I also am using a bunch of new nutrients for this run that I honestly did a lot of eye measuring once I got it down lol, so feel free to ask any questions and I’d be glad to fill you in! I used every ingredient from silica to microbes and enzymes, sulfur, molasses etc, I felt like a mad scientist this run lol

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide 🌱 If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they don’t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LED’s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once they’re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, let’s see if it’s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...
