Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.

Day 45 17/08/24 Saturday Another watering today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Lemon skittles and XXL ammo are tall, bud nice and smelly plants! The Kabul is more of a dense compact build, I'm excited to see what they grow into 😍 Picture and video update ✌️ 💚 Day 48 20/08/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. With Plagron PK13-14 and power buds. Noticing the stretch stop, and now packing out there bud sites 💪💚 Vid + pic update ✌️💚

Going well

This week marks the 7th week of flowering in my cannabis garden, and the plants are thriving beautifully. The buds are dense and covered in sparkling trichomes, showcasing their incredible development. Each day brings more resin production, giving the plants a frosty appearance that's truly a sight to behold. Highlights of Week 7: - Growth: The plants are still growing strong, with the buds becoming more substantial. - Trichomes: The trichomes are maturing, turning from clear to milky white, indicating that the potency is reaching its peak. - Health: The leaves are lush, and the garden's overall health is excellent. Check out the photos and videos below to see the trichomes' stunning evolution and the buds' impressive growth. This week has been all about watching the plants gear up for their final stages, and it's an exciting time as we move closer to harvest. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey! 🌱✨

Every thing going good i did LST on my biggest girl she is responding super well

Welcome to my next grow/experiment! Amnesia haze holds a special spot in my heart ever since I experienced it at the Amsterdam cannabis cup in 2012 - really looking forward to this one. I have plans to top once and hopefully be successful at making a clone to reverse. From there I’d like to maybe make some F1, and S1 seeds as well as breed it with the cultivar sharing the tent: Mephisto’s White Wedding. Started off germinating on Saturday 2/3 by soaking the seeds in a cup of water for 24 hours before transferring to a wet paper towel. On Tuesday 2/6 tap roots were present and they were moved to rapid rooter plugs and put into a humidity dome. On 2/11 they had sprouted up 3” and were transferred to the top fed RDWC system. Filled the reservoir following General Hydroponics 10 part chart at light strength and diluted by 50%. SE7000 is ~30” above at 40% providing ~270ppfd.

This week, my Titans are sleeping in a cooler dark room until harvest. So for your viewing pleasure, I've loaded some videos made of the Titans during there time with me. I'm wondering what to serve at my Queens Tea Party... I made some butterscotch pistachio bars and modified the recipe for less sugar. 😋 We experimented with topping the bars with black cherry spread, orange marmalade and a mango jelly. All are very tasty as the bit of sour/tart enhances the butterscotch sweet. A few solar eclipse pics.

Howdy, So this is now the first day of week 14, which is 99 days from sprout, 53 days from when I flipped the lights to 12/12. Still maintaining nutrients at the same levels, topping up on alternate days with RO water or Nutrients. Checked the trichomes under the scope yesterday, but forgot to save the video. So will post a video in a couple days time when I check them again. So far it’s looking like they’re about 75% clear, 24.5% cloudy and the other half percent are made up of translucent amber trichomes. I think she’s still got another 2 weeks in her, as I’ve read that people make the mistake of cutting early because they go off breeders flowering type from the day they flip lights when you should do it from the day you see pistols, which for me was about 8 days into 12/12. Really struggling to keep humidity down, so have a 10L per day dehumidifier coming this week to aid me in the last couple weeks to make sure all this hard work wasn’t for nothing! I needed one anyway to use once this lady is hung up to dry. I am still having to cut off about 5-10 buds per week that are burning unfortunately. I am also in the process of building a grow room around the tent, if I can get it finished, that will mean I can give these ladies some more space and finally be able to raise the lights. I think the better quality smoke will be just under the canopy as I have a feeling the lights are frying off the THC faster than the plant can produce it. Hopefully it can recover once I raise the lights... Anyway, waffling over. 🌱

Magic Melon is taller and has grown faster since the first week, now it's buds are growing twice as fast as the Super Silver Haze. Lights are 12 inches from top of buds.

Giorno 36 - ho sistemato meglio l’apicale rinforzando con nastro di carta e mettendo il sostegno di gomma sotto. Vedremo nei prossimi giorni come si evolve la situazione. Ho dato 1 lt di acqua a testa in irrigazione Giorno 37 - L’apicale sembra stare decisamente meglio, ogni volta si stacca dal sostegno e cerca di andare verso la luce. Giorno 38 - ho dato 1litro di acqua a testa in irrigazione, domani alzerò i dosaggi di fertilizzanti a 1ml/lt per ognuno Giorno 39 - ho dato 1litro (0,5 l a testa) di fertilizzanti in quantità (1ml/L di bio grow, bio bloom e top max), vediamo come reagiscono le piante Giorno 40 - il terreno é ancora umido, irrigherò domani, sembra abbiano reagito bene alla dose in più di fertilizzanti che ho dato ieri Giorno 41 - ho dato 1litro di acqua a testa perché una delle due aveva le foglie totalmente abbassate, verificherò tra qualche ora se si é ripresa Giorno 42 - stanotte alle 3 le foglie di una erano completamente abbassate di nuovo, il terreno é umido quindi non ho irrigato, credo che annaffierò domani

I had a little leaf curl on a few fans so I backed off on the watering and I put a elevator drain screen under the 5 gallon fabric pots so my roots would not get the root rot. Gonna Start Flushing this week, giving the Ripening feeding per EH feed chart and getting a better wet dry cycle with the plants. will water in another day with plain rain water I collected ( SEE WEEK 8 VIDEO) and keep a close eye on the trichomes clear cloudy ratio. The buds are getting thicker. thanks for all the feedback on this grow. I got some good advice from SpinnerCaribbean on flushing with coco. cheers

Week 6 today of flower. Still got couple weeks, gaining ok was hoping for alittle more growth but still time. Loads of thc popin. Updates to follow

All 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS continued thru week 6 to develop their BEAUTIFUL flower crowns. The plants on the right under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-Lamps from SANlight are in general a little more uniform (all have almost the same height). The plants on the left side under the Lumatek PRO 600W are developing well, but some are smaller and some are taller. The production of flower seems to be on PAR now between the two sides, but thats hard to judge only by looking at them. In the end the weight will tell, who produced more flower. 😃 I still give only PURE tab-water, without any PH correction, since the BIOTABS nutrients are adjusting the ph-value and work for the FULL-CYCLE, its unbelievably easy and convenient, I LOVE IT! 😎 The Ambient Q240+ from HOMEBOX is now nicely filled by the plants and they continue to grow well. 😁 The Lumatek is still running at 100% at a distance of 50 cm from the top of the plants. The two SANlights at 60 cm distance were so strong (first signs of light bleaching) that I decreased the power by dimming them to 80% during week 6. I am curious to see how the test goes on further...

i decided its time to start flushing this girls, so for this week only i will give them some enzymes and conditioner and after that just water for the next couple of weeks , lets see how long it will take them to finish 😅😆 so far I’m pretty happy with all of them, nothing to point out all is going as supposed 🙏💚 keeping my Par and VPD the same for now but soon i will start lowering them so that by the ending of this cycle I’l finish around 450/600 Ppfd Week 8 day 50 since flipped to 12/12, I’m flushing and all is going as nomal, starting to fade out and I’m loving the frosty levels so far 😅🤩💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏 No idea why this doesn't allow me to crate a new week but I’ll keep updating here Day 59 F And they are getting closer and closer but stil not ready, checking tricomes every day but all still very clear to my taste 😆 i think one more week at least, let’s see how they roll 🙏💪💚 Day 63 F And they are close but not there yet 😅 provably next couple days , I’ll keep on checking 😆 patience is a virtue, specially in this faze 💚😅 Week 11 day 72 FLower and j just gave them last watering 😅😁 they will have the day to enjoy lights as from today there will b no more of it for this girls 😅 i will do a 48h dark before harvest to increase more the tricomes production and the thc/cbd levels . From there hehehe we know whats coming from there , but lets wait for that time to comment on it 😆😅😁 Growers love you all see you on harvest mode asap hihihi Ppfd- 1400 wUmol/m2s VPD-A 1.51 kPa Girls : Tropicana Poison @sweetseeds - 7X Chocolate Skunk @00seeds - 2X Badazz Cookies OG @seedsman- 3X Lights 2X Lumatek Zeus 465W Compact Pro @ 100% All i Grow is medicine for myself, i do it with love for the love 💚💚💚 Growers love to you all💚💚💚

Day 47 has been a rough week seven days of 32c + outdoors and same in the tent. I did order some Orius 100 to sort out my bug problem , but they have been delayed due to the heat. Coming along well . The two on the right of the tent are the Tangie Monkey and the left is two Bananangie.
