Day 53 of flower today. I filled the reservoir from empty and stopped using the macro. I replaced it with General hydroponics Ripen at 5ml a gallon. Everything is frosty and smells good. As far looks I like the RC the best and the PE the least. I'm going to end up with a sheet ton of it out of the 3 so I hope I'm wrong! 😆 I'm going to do a lower defoliation mid week to get more air flowing. RH is stable but I just want to be careful 🧐 being this close to the finish line. This is definitely one of the easiest runs I've had. It seems PE is pretty maxed when it comes to nutrition but LMC and RC could take a bit more. My PE phenotype is super stretchy compared to them as well.

I used a heating pad on a thermostat set to 82° Fahrenheit. It only took about three days for the seeds to pop. Note the germination kit in the back left of the tent

Growing well this week with day to day monitoring. I've decided to do as much LST as Plant 2 will take. And letting Plant 1 do it's thing, with some minor help getting light down lower in the branches. Ppm is 490 without calmag

Ho iniziato a fare LST presto, già dal giorno 15, i fertilizzanti li ho iniziati giorno 18. Alla fine della settimana si sono visti i primi peletti, sta entrando in fioritura.

Stellar week for the Critical Girls. The others are still lagging behind a bit, I wish they'd get their act together. Some are showing a little nitrogen deficiency, so I'll give them a foliar spray tomorrow. I also flushed them with some sledgehammer back on Thursday because one of the Critical Cures and the Blue Shark was showing a little Boron lockout.

Biggest Autoflower Ever - Pineapple Express was the GOAT. 479 Grams Dry Weight, 78 Days from seed to Harvest Was a big surprise having almost a HALF KILOGRAM FROM AUTOFLOWER, Always thought 500 grams per square meter description was a legend but no, IT CAN BE TRUE Good luck to all my grower fellas, I will not stop on growing in hydro, even tho half of this run was in handmade hydro. It was my third hydro Grow and I see the Improvement Last one was only 300 Grams dry weight Strawberry Banana from FB Pinepple Express itself is a 10/10 strain, it says mostly Indica but feels like the best Sativa I have ever tried, great pineapple smell and taste, hits like Mike Tyson, perfect strain and YUMMY as hell, loved it, will grow it again probably as it's not only mine favorite strain. Cheers Fellas, good grows and big yields to everyone!

I think that this is as good as they're gonna get. Gonna pull them both down and start a fresh one trying to keep it cooler cos mid 30s everyday is not good. Learned a lot this time, hopefully much better next time! Also took the top off the stardawg last weekend, should almost be smokable now!!

Everything looking great. I'm adding pk13/14 starting today at 2ml per gallon for the next two weeks. Leaves starting to sugar up, smells piney and amazing.

What a journey it was growing this plant. I flowered the full 16 weeks. I should have known It would not be easy to do indoors. I would not have expected to get such large dense colas from the plant I vegged. The amount of stretch was crazy in flower. And the fact that all the nodes filled in with buds makes this a really good plant for yield. This was my highest-yielding plant so far. I was able to train her just right so I didn't run out of space but that is one of the main considerations for growing this plant. She does not like to be too hot. Anything over 78 F and she was getting stressed. Was growing alongside two other 8-week strains that favored the conditions fine when it got above 80 a few days . Rained 3 weeks in a row and the humidity was very high I got some bud rot the last few days of flower only on the biggest colas. I lost 1/5 of the harvest but still managed a very good yield. The smell is piny, herbal and flowery and when smoke almost doesn't taste like cannabis but like some herbal smoke. It is also some of the smoothest weed I've smoked. The high is also very unique and while there is a little bit of a body high it feels more like a reverberation from the intense head high. Will make you productive and alert and focused. High lasts about 2 hours. But I still need to cure. I hope the trippy comes out more with time. Lost 100 grams to bud rot but good news I still jarred 17.4 ounces of trimmed good stuff. I burned the bad stuff and the trim in my fire pit and got a contact high at least. Hope I never have to do that again. Trimming took 6 hours. I started by bucking down the hangers and carefully inspecting inside every bud and sat aside anything that was even suspected of bud rot. I trimmed and jarred once's up as i went as try to to keep things from getting as contaminated as possible. Once i was done through that i went though the suspect buds and removed the good bits and have in a separate jar just for myself to smoke out the bong asap. and burned the bad stuff in the fire pit. If I see it start to turn bad I'm just going to toss it. No need to be smoking moldy buds. The rot really only affected the tops of the biggest colas in the center. Had I not suffered the bud rot the yield would have been 21 ounces! Was going to mark the final yield based on what was good but that damn auto flower mutant I just grew messed my yield ratio up lol , and I technically grew the bud I just can't smoke it, and that is its potential for the conditions I gave it. So i am counting it as 21. I feel like If I did it again perfectly I could get 2.5 due to the fact i still have quite a bit of space I could have stretched into. While she did stretch a lot from mid to late flower it's not as much as I expected and I had a little more room that I could have veged another week or two. I really though it was going to be to the ceiling with tall skinny lanky buds So i flipped to flower I few weeks later than I had with my other grows. I was not expecting these cannon buds. Seem's like having the lights a the top of the tent and having them as powerful as they can be without any extra stress or harm to the plants decide where they need to stretch to and find the sweet spot themselves. After curing for 17 months I needed to make room for nee stuff so decided to gave pressing this stuff into rosin another try with pretty good results! I tried to upload pictures but not working wt the moment but I got over 15 percent yield which was way better than when it was fresh. I re-moistened the buds overnight in a container with a screen and a damp towel at the bottom and seemed to help a lot. A lot of the terps has faded ad aged but I think i had a nice pleasant mellow pine earthy flavor. The dabs hit you a little harder and faster than the flower which is nice.

26.1. - I've added some wires back to spread the branches as much as possible. I think that plants look very nice and buds are getting bigger each day 😎 27.1. - Added more Cal-Mag and also some Epsom salt to the nutrient mix. I think the plants are starting to show signs of deficiency. Same thing happened on last run at the same time, so I hope I will catch it in time. Watered 💧 30.1. - I've decided to remove Bio Grow from my mix completely and upped the Cal-Mag. However, yellowing is still present 😩 Watered 💧 1.2. - Week wrap-up: I'm happy to say that this was another successful week as plants gained a lot of new growth and existing buds are gaining and becoming fat and frosty. ❄️ Also, I think I've managed to stop the yellowing.

Hi Growmies, Can’t really see any swelling anymore and therefore started to flush her. PPM‘s are already down to 100 and will change the reservoir two more times during week 12 to try and bring it down to 0, followed by two days of darkness and harvest. This plant is saving my overall yield of this box, as the Mazaar has performed subpar, probably because she was sharing the box. The afghan, however delivered in terms of production, as promised by ganja farmer seeds.

Since last week I've been doing the normal watering only when they ask and watering once a week with top crop top veg fertilizer and they've responded very well and both are already in 11L airpots that I transplanted during this week

Ok so this week I did a defoliation and a tigh down too the netting , I really was not planning on doing such a big defoliation but the leafs became thick and dense and there was almost no light penitration down too the lower branches of the plant , so she is opened right up now and the humidity and temperature has dropped loads and the air is moving alot better around the leaves and branches , I will not take anything more off her now , I have also added Cal mag too the nutrients for this week only , she is well into pre flower now but the stretch has not yet started so I figured it's no or never too defoliate and tigh them down , I am very happy with them so far and being new too all this it's all very exciting , Thanks for looking :)

Hi guys! here is how my beautiful girls proceed! they had a nitrogen boost in the first few weeks of flowering, but are now stable, feeding well and having a beautiful streccing (x2 / x3). The pre-flower seems to be forming well and on day 22 from the change to 12/12 the first trichomes appeared! I'm curious about how it will go and very excited 💪🏻 good 4:20 and good cokttivation everyone !!
