What a shift in weather! After weeks of baking in that brutal summer furnace, the temperatures finally dropped this week, and Mother Nature brought us some much-needed rain showers. Weather & Smart Shelter: 🌧️🏠 Because we are in peak flower, direct rain is the enemy. I kept the ladies under a roof outdoor to make sure they didn’t get drenched. Even though the humidity spiked quite high at times because of the wet weather, luckily it didn't stay locked in for multiple days in a row. That’s a massive relief because keeping airflow up and avoiding stagnant moisture is everything at this stage to prevent any mold issues! Overall, the girls handled the cooldown perfectly and are looking incredibly good. The Big News: Harvest Time for Team Indica! 🕵️‍♂️🔮 I pulled out the loupe to check on the progress of the quicker girls, and we have reached a major milestone: Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto & Banana Purple Punch Auto: The trichomes are now predominantly milky! They have officially reached that gorgeous peak window, so I will very likely be chopping them down over the next few days. The anticipation is through the roof, and I can't wait to see the final rewards from these two beautiful, frosty strains! The Sativa Crew Stays Out: ⏳🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto & Bruce Banner Auto: The more Sativa-leaning ladies are still doing fantastic but are running on their own timeline. They clearly need a little while longer to fully mature, which is exactly what I expected. Amnesia Haze: She is absolutely putting on a show right now. She is packing on serious bud mass by the day, swelling up beautifully, and turning into a heavier monster. It’s an interesting week ahead—part of the garden is getting ready for the scissors, while the other half gets to enjoy the extra space and keep bulking up. Stay tuned for the harvest update!

Gorilla Glue #4 x White Widow from Expert Seeds Harvested 2020 - Solo Cup grow While I am not a fan of this plant in hindsight with greater expereince, it was definitely a robust plant. This thing was nearly bursting through the solo cup by the end. Unfortunately, they were really late announcing an extension to the contest at the time and I had already harvested a bit early to make the original cutoff date. ~40 grams and it needed another week or so. I wasn't trying for max yield. I just trained it into a slender candelabra type shape and called it a day. Hindsight -- If I new then what i know now.... I'd shave off 2 weeks from vege and it'd end up the same size. This also would have allowed it to finish before the contest end date. I'd also do my normal addition of vermiculite or perlite to the promix. I was afraid of needing multiple waterings per day as it grew out, so i went with pure Pro-Mix HP, which is only ~20-25% perlite.

Added 2 videos on preparing a nutrient solution and pH balancing the solution. This week saw aggressive topping (mid week 4) and some serious leaf damage. Not sure if the leaf damage is from the topping, nutrients, etc. I did a flush and solution swap, cleaned the air stone and inside of the jar etc. Built the trellis and started training. I'll cut away whatever trellis doesn't end up getting used once flowering starts. Creepy Don Santa is watching this grow closely. That cat of his is trouble.

Monster maker photoperiod feminised is now on its 4th week since pout the seed in the root riot cube I trimmed the first set of true leaves to promote more lateral growth 3rd nodes leafs are getting bigger and can clearlly see the 4th node developing

5/5/2024 Pistils pistils pistils 5/8 these plants are fucking exploding! Super exciting to see them like this. Pistils everywhere and they’re just STACKING! don’t even see budlets yet, just pistils. The structure of these plants is beautiful. They handle training fairly well. I topped one and super cropped it and did a bit of lst. I was feeling impatient so I decided to see what happened if I pushed the one a little harder and left the other to grow naturally.

Die Woche nur gegossen und Lampe hochgemacht sonst nichts sie ist schon sehr harzig bin gespannt mal gucken ob sie lila wird müsste ja eig bei granddaddy purple

Just another update for the Alien OG by The Cali Connection , I have uploaded a video for you guys which gives you guys a better look and how I'm progressing and how I'm training the ladies. Any questions guys just ask. Happy Growing 👍🏾🌱💚😎

Probably the last update before harvest. Could probably go now, but will wait a few days would like to see some amber. Despite the carbon filter, the whole house reeks. I see why people grow this specifically for resin because it's off the charts. I'm a vaporizer and edible guy, so we'll see. Just looking at this thing you can tell it's potent as hell. Hoping the lemon and melon terps hold true through cure. This plant is an absolute beast, I'm guessing high 20s pushing 30 THC%. Will update with harvest and post harvest thoughts (my guess is 7 to 8 oz out of a 2x2). She's on straight water to finish!

Durant cette semaine elle c'est bien développé toujours aucun nutriments dans l'irrigation.

Two weeks of !2/12 done. Everything is going fine. My lamp is on full whack with the reds switched on, the UVA has always been on. This week I have got to keep a close eye on my run off for PH and C/f. The pond activator starts decomposing any bits of dead root, plant root excretions, even the coco itself. This results in a big jump in C/f and PH. The broad spectrum of bugs push the PH up but I stay on top of it with daily high volume run to waste using light Nutes at PH 5, by doing this the more Acidic tolerant bugs get the upper hand and after a week or so my PH will stabilise and I can cut down on the volumes of liquid I am putting through the pots. Whatever is in the activator does the job I want it to. It is a bit of a ball-ache to stabilise but after that, it is a dream. Why you may ask don't I use one of the many specific cannabis inoculations. For one Cost, an £8 250ml bottle will last me for a thousand years, cuts out the need for all the crap the industry tries to sell you! Also our little dancing friends, the Fungus Gnats do not like it. I get the odd one but no colony build up. Also I have not had any systemic infections in my pots since I started using it. (at least 10 years). I have thought about Infecting a glucose solution with it, then stabilising it to favour acid conditions and using that, so I don't have to monitor the first week so closely, but I'm a stoner and I can't be arsed. I have not tried pond activator in anything but Coco. I could see problems in soil regarding control. I would deffo try in full hydo though. The outdoor plant is a chemdogging S1 it germed out in the garden in a pot I thew in the garden last Autumn. A few had popped up only this one survived the bit of snow and minus temp's of three weeks ago. I lifted it threw it in a 5 litre pot in the greenhouse. I am curious about this plant as I have a number of seed from a reversed CD. I wasn't planning to start germing outdoors for a few weeks yet, but nature has jumped the gun. Today I have the secateurs out and will start taking out the bottom branches on the plants, also inspect for bollox on everything especially the ghost trains. I did say I would get plants out and photo them, but nothing needs moving, I can leave my bending till the last as my tent is 2.2 mtrs tall so I still have a bit of room to play with. In vid the back row left to right. Wedding Cake - Bit leggy and twiggy at this stage. Main cola branch is bent over but not tied down. By the time it gets back up, the other branches will have promoted themselves a bit. This plant has good girth and its habit is very similar to a USA cut I have grown. Difficult to clone relative to the others plants in this mother hunt. 14 days every other plant clone is in a pot and feeding, wedding cake is still in the starter blocks showing nothing. Back and centre, Orangesicle Looks and grows like French Cookies, it's parent ( I have a Mother FC in another universe) A nice looking plant which fimmed well, It is the smelliest plant in the grow with a very distinct Orange aroma. 4 cuts all feeding within 14 days this plant has vigour. Back right. Maltezerz. I like the look of this plant, Habit is similar to it's GG4 parent, I am expecting a yield of this plant. It has the stem and the right look. It does have a slight chocolat Hashy smell. Easy clone. Centre left. Blue Sherbelato. Did not like being fimmed or pinched out. Did that Hazy thing where the stem stretches at the node and promotes a main growing tip out of the two or four Meristems. 2nd slowest to clone, I dont have high expectations for this plant. Centre Mid. Ghost Train Number 2 . A little weed compared to the other ghost trains. Though they are 10 days younger than the rest of the grow 1,3, and 4 have overtaken size wise the other plants in tent. I may have to get it a crate to sit on otherwise it will get swamped. It cut ok . I won't dispose of the cuts just yet. The strongest green I ever smoked came from a little weedy plant. Centre right. GTH3, Big Skunky looking plant, Long internodes, Massive leaves Another plant that didn't like pinching out. Front left GTH1 Classic Haze shape it has been bent and topped and weaved in an out of itself. Cut easy. Front Centre, GTH4, The plant with weird growth. I thought this was male for a long time. It really looks a nice plant Easy cut. Front right Scotts OG. Nice vigorous plant. 'Well behaved'. It has a smell, Spicy Hash and Cookies, interesting. Easy clone. I have A male Scotts OG, Smells very similar, He's still in a 5 inch pot and getting fed up!

Heyho Growmies! The next week is over and a lot has happend. The Mango Frost is in stretch and starting to develop her Buds. She is getting taller and taller every Day and finally is catching up with the Mango Cherry Runtz. Meanwhile the Mango Cherry Runtz is stacking her Buds amazingly and I’m worried a bit that her Buds are getting a little bit to big… Just joking im pretty excited. :) Since we have a heat wave in Europe and I don’t have air conditioning. I got some problems with heat and humidity. But the plants seem to handle it well. I defoliate every two to three days every leaf that blocks Budsides or hinders airflow. Fingers crossed the high humidity and temperatures don’t provoke budrot or powdery mildew. The next week looks a little bit better but we still have 30+ °C so lets hope they don‘t get to many Foxtails. Happy Growing everyone!✌️

I forgot to turn on the ventilation fan. But, fortunately, my children did not die.

This is my second growth in a suitcase, I got 30 grams of dry flowers from the first growth, but this growth together with FastBuds is obviously much better than the first one :) although the girl's leaves burn from the light, which is only 10-15 cm from the flowers, but the girl copes with it perfectly :) good luck to everyone.

IIt’s been a little over a week now, and the buds have slowed down their fattening phase. There is still some growth, but I think ripening has begun. After examining the buds and trichomes thoroughly, I’m seeing mostly cloudy heads, so harvest can’t be far away. When I open the tent, my whole room smells sweet and citrusy. All the plants look perfectly healthy, with only slight signs of light stress—even after reducing the PPFD from 1000–1100 during peak flowering down to around 800 for the last 2–3 weeks. It might just be because the plants are now fully in “fall mode.” Right after harvesting, I’m going to take some macro shots of the nicest top buds. Kings Kush: The terpene profile has stayed consistent compared to last week, but I’m picking up stronger grape or berry aromas now. The buds are huge. Blue Dream: Pure gas with a hint of sweetness. About 80% of the pistils are now a nice orange, but the trichomes are only around 50% milky. It might take a week or two longer than the other plants. Mimozz: Sharp calyxes, frosty leaves, and crazy fruity aromas. I’d say this strain is the closest to harvest and lives up to the predicted flowering time of 7–8 weeks. I really wish I had taken a cutting to preserve this beautiful phenotype. Coco Fresh: The buds are still getting bigger, and even the lowest ones are turning purple and fat. It’s by far the prettiest plant of them all. The flowers smell super pleasant, with a mix of gassy cream and ripe fruit. I can’t wait to harvest them!👽😎

Topping was great ! Starting now with LST using a wire but gently don’t want to harm the plant they opened up pretty good 🙏🏽 I am increasing water by looks.
