Things have been going well as I continued to train the stretching girls to the side of the pots, bending and adding ties where needed. Pheno 1 started showing signs of over watering showing droopy leaves as well as what I think is either nitrogen, magnesium or iron deficiency. I'm leaning towards a iron deficiency since the yellowing is on the newest growth at the top. I think this was caused from giving her too much top amendments in her last feed causing a pH imbalance. What I would usually do is just give her a little flush if this is the case but instead I decided to repot her and the other Pheno into their last 19 litre/4 gallong pots as both were drinking pretty quick and I wanted to avoid over watering again. The rootballs looked beautiful when I transplanted them so I was pretty happy with their progress! This round I've ditched the coco as I had way too many issues with it in the past, including knats and PH issues. In this round I've gone with Biobizz light soil which I added some fish blood and bone, earthworm castings, bat guano and then watered with water and liquid seaweed. I love organic growing :). I do intend on using Coco again but I'll need to do some research on some trusted brands. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know! Pheno 2 is showing signs of recovery but I'd love the input from others about what the deficiency could be? I got my new bubblebags today which is making me want to flip to flower so I can get to harvesting and making some bubble but I'm going to be super patient this round. I want these girls to fill up as much of my 4 x4 tent space as possible. Until next week! ✌️

The tent is now set. All plants are transplanted into 11L plastic pots with 75-25% biobizz light and heavy mix, bat guano and mycorrhiza. We added co2 boost ( Boost buddy bag) and carbon filter on the vent system. We will try to provide more details regarding the ventilation system inside the tent within the next weeks.

The Holidays caused a little headache this past week. Was a few hours late on water schedule due to holiday commitments. Found the middle plant had sucked all the water out and went into underwater stage. A few of the giant fan leaves took a hit, but not too bad. Didn't change anything other than water schedule to every day now and the leaves had no further damage/discoloration. All leaves still praying and doing good. Trichromes starting to pick up on all the plants now. Had a situation in my other tent with a plant that shouldn't have been saved, that i saved, and seems to have slightly hermied and I didn't catch it. Not terrible, as out of a 6 oz plant, I found 42 seeds. Hoping that tent doesn't effect this room, but it's possible it has. Just gonna ride it out now and see how it goes.

Smoke some of it already before I could get a scale so it’s probably bout an ounce or two.. but overall first time trying it gave me more of an head high than anything then later I smoke some other buds it’s more of an relaxing feel. But overall it’s get me high I believe I could’ve let the trichomes get a tad more cloudy but again I’m satisfied with I gotten and on to the next grow.

🌸🌿 Week 3: Blooms Unleashed! 😁 The stretch has gracefully come to an end, and now, the buds are making their grand entrance! 😁 Standing tall, our Lemon Orange proves to be a formidable presence, prompting the need for some strategic topping and ScrOG to keep its height in check. Growth Management: Given its impressive stature, a little intervention with topping and ScrOG is in order to ensure the plant stays within bounds. It's all about orchestrating the dance of growth. Aromas in Bloom: As the buds unfurl, so do the enchanting aromas. A symphony of citrus notes fills the air, signaling the flourishing flower stage. The pace is exhilarating, promising a delightful harvest in the making. Nutrient Nurturing: In the spirit of balance, I've opted for a mindful approach, utilizing only 80% of the recommended nutrients by Terra Aquatica. It's a careful dance to provide just what our Lemon Oranges needs for optimal growth and flavor development. The stage is set, and our Lemon Orange beauties are gearing up for a floral spectacle. With each passing week, the anticipation for the harvest grows, and the journey unfolds in a crescendo of green and citrusy bliss! 🌼🍊🌿

Day 36 Flower (Day 78) Today is the first day of week six of flower and on this glorious day, I went to war against the fungus gnats. By war, I mean watering each girl with 5 million Nematodes in 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. That should hopefully do the trick and get rid of the annoying little shits. I also experimented a bit more with bud photography and this time I used an LED ring flash. The next step is to shoot during the dark period so I don't get any supplemental light from the grow lights. That was pretty much it today as it is mostly just coasting along at this point in the grow. Day 37 Flower (Day 79) The left girl got pampered with a new light today. Let's see if those extra photons can help her fatten up. She also got a CO2 bag to help her to soak up all those juicy photons. The right girl on the other hand just got her daily watering. Today with 3 liters at pH 6.6. Day 38 Flower (Day 80) All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and started brewing some compost tea to feed tomorrow. I used a simple recipe this time with just some worm castings and molasses to increase the microbial activity, as well as a bit of neem meal for some additional nutrition but also to help against pests. The fungus gnats in the tents are almost gone. The nematodes took care of the gnat larvae and the yellow sticky traps have been catching the adults. Day 39 Flower (Day 81) Super chill day. I just gave each girl 3 liters of compost tea at pH 6.2. Done. Day 40 Flower (Day 82) I gave 3 liters of pH 6.5 water to the right girl and supported some of her branches as they're getting heavy with buds. Boom! Day 41 Flower (Day 83) Today I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. The gnats look to be defeated for now. I can't see any in the tents and the yellow sticky traps are empty. Day 42 Flower (Day 84) The last day of the sixth week of flower and all is going great in the tents. The heatwave we were having went away, which kind of sucks on a personal and social level, but it's great for the girls as the tents were swelteringly hot. The left girl is 103 cm tall and didn't grow anything this week. She has started to fatten up a bit now since I installed a more powerful light, but she is still lagging far behind the right girl. I'm interested to see if she is only lagging behind in time and will fatten up eventually, or if her ordeal has stunted her flowers, resulting in a bunch of larf. Time will tell. Either way, it will be a learning experience. The right girl also didn't grow vertically this week (thankfully!). Her 123 cm is tall enough to be dangerously close to the lights. She is fattening up nicely but still some time to go before she is done. I haven't checked any trichomes yet but should probably start checking next week. Today was another chill late-flower day, I just gave the left girl 2 liters of pH 6.7 water, and the right got 3 liters at pH 6.5.

Welcome back to the world of my magnificent Purple Lemonade FF in Week 7 of vegetation! Our lovely lady has been embracing the scrog net like a superstar, and let me tell you, she's no longer a little Lemonade—she's a towering, mighty mama! It's like witnessing a botanical growth spurt of epic proportions. Our once-compact plant has blossomed into a majestic beauty, filling the grow space with her vibrant green presence. As her branches dance through the scrog net, it's as if they're reaching for the stars. The net has become their guiding path, ensuring they grow in a controlled and even manner. This creates a lush, full canopy that captures the essence of horticultural perfection. I can't help but marvel at the sight, imagining a symphony playing in the background as our plant proudly takes center stage. But let's not forget about our tiny defenders, the unsung heroes of the garden—the nematodes, Spical Ulti Mite, and Swirskii! These pint-sized warriors have been diligently protecting our precious Purple Lemonade FF from the clutches of thrips and fungus gnats. It's like a miniature battle royale happening in the soil, where good triumphs over evil. I can almost picture the nematodes donning their tiny armor and the mites and Swirskii swooping in like avenging angels. It's a thrilling spectacle of nature's finest defenders. Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the harmony and balance that the scrog net and our IPM superheroes bring to our grow space. They work together like a well-choreographed team, ensuring our plant's health and well-being. The net provides support and structure, allowing our Purple Lemonade FF to flourish and maximize her exposure to light. And the IPM heroes, ever vigilant, keep unwanted pests at bay, ensuring our plant's pristine condition. In this garden adventure, we are not just mere gardeners—we are the directors of a botanical spectacle, the curators of a living masterpiece. As we tend to our plants, we become part of this vibrant tapestry, witnessing the growth, the struggles, and the triumphs that nature so graciously presents. So, my fellow growers, let's celebrate the tremendous growth of our Purple Lemonade FF and the invaluable role of the scrog net and IPM superheroes. Together, they create a stage for our plant to shine and protect her from the forces that seek to hinder her progress. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our journey, where we'll uncover more stories from the marvelous world of my Purple Lemonade FF. Until then, keep nurturing your plants with passion, humor, and the joy that comes from witnessing nature's remarkable resilience!

https://lumatek-lighting.com/ <3 <3 <3 Growers love to you all <3 <3 <3 " Arising from a cross between purple and citrus Cali genetics, Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) offers a complex high made up of perfectly balanced cerebral and body effects that are ideal for daytime use. Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyone’s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. It’s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect that’s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as it’s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus that’ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.

Rolling into week 7. Time to dial down the nutes and start my UVB regiment. I use Reptisun 10.0 bulbs due to LED UV's giving far less than optimal performance. Reptisun 5.0 bulbs work 2. I only run them from week 7 to flush and for only 3 hours a day within the current light cycle. Update day 45: After doing a trichome check, it finished EARLY!! Time to do a quick flush then harvest. I was going to add the nutes to the fresh water today 😂😂

Well I'm a bit upset last week I ended up dropping my ph meter in a tank of nutes I was mixing and by the time I got it out the meter was junk. I was planning on flushing the crystal but had to wait another week for the meter. I suppose the good thing to take from this was I found out why I was having issues with my plants. When the new ph meter came in I went to check my run off and my nutes that I had all ready mixed up. It turns out that my meter i had been using this whole grow was off by about -2-2.5 so this whole time I had been feeding the plants at around 3ph smfh. I cant believe they look how they do knowing what went on this whole time. Fastbuds crystal meth is 3days into flush and i will be cutting it down this weekend most likely. Mephisto hubbabubbasmelloscope is smelling like sweet sweet candy and is thick in resin Bighead seeds freeze berry/ blueberry crumble has a dank pungent stank to it and also is frosty but larrfy Big bomb is still growing thick and have bud sites everywhere Now I'm ready for the next batch and ready to get dialed in!

Another week is gone. I have done some defoliation to make airflow better and give as much light to the bottom nugs as possible. Plants are tough, smell beautiful and buds are getting some size already. Cheers!

Fun fact : my TDS meter broke down. I was running an EC of 4.3, needless to say the plant went into super lockout. I lost a lot of leaves and am trying to get it on the right path again. I had enough foliage to survive it fortunately trichomes are still quite empty, most likely it will need another 2 weeks to mature UPDATE: Day 67 the plant seems to have finally stabilized again, EC and PH stopped swinging around like crazy
