Raspberry Ripple Number One and Two (Flowering Plants) This week is the final week of Flower, I am noticing milky coverage on both plants and some amber trichomes as well. I gave the last watering today of distilled, dechlorinated water, with no P.H. Adjustments at 7.2 PH. I plan to harvest April 11th. Number One Pheno- The Number One Pheno is fully swollen and ripe now. The colas are densely stacked on the canopy. The foliage is quite over-faded, with some leaves being so dried out they crumble to the touch. I don't know if this is because the plant was in a bit too small of a pot or if my light was a little much these final weeks of flower. It is definitely ready for harvest! It's smells are still heavy in the raspberry candy department, with those hints of earthy leather on the back swing. Giving the number one pheno a very unique musk. The resin is greasy and plentiful! I can't wait to take this one down and trim it up to see how it looks in a jar! Number Two Pheno- The Number Two Pheno held out a little longer in its 5 gallon pot, it's a bit smaller of a plant. It's about 65% faded now but it's trichomes look finished! It's trichomes are very stacked out and coat this plant in a snow film! It may look a little boring next to its sister color wise, but it still sports some purple and pink hues under all the frost and I still think it'll be a worthy smoke as well! It smells of a raspberry wine but with that hazy fruity power. Almost like a strong mimosa strain. Clones- The larger clones in the 55 inch 2x2 MarsHydro veg tent, were starting to drink through water quickly! Mostly the larger number one phenos. Which would consume the entire dryback of their full pots in one day. I transplanted all the plants in the 55 inch tent into square pots (2 gallons for the Number 2 Phenos, 3 gallons for the Number 1 Phenos) this should hold them over for 3 to 4 weeks, so I can harvest and dry my flowering plants. I was unable to transplant the clones in the smaller Mars Hydro 30 inch Clone Tent, due to space constraints. I'll be feeding them worm castings and Down to Earth Crab Meal tomorrow. All the clones are looking healthy and look like they would be great candidates for flowering or mother plants. Tech Upgrade- This week I was able to purchase a Photobio Phantom Par Meter at a local grow shop's going out of business sale. With this tool I'll be able to get a dead on map of my light intensity and adjust accordingly. This will be great to have when setting up my new HLG Blackbird next cycle. I also got some 15 gallon grass roots fabric pots to try in the flower room next cycle. I also reached out to AC infinity and have an upgraded Cloudray S6 Gen 2 Oscillating Clip Fan on the way. My Gen 1 fan broke and would no longer oscillate correctly. AC infinity replaced it free of charge with the latest model. I think that about sums up this week! I'm very excited to take these plants down and begin preparing for next cycle. I was extremely lucky to get such amazing results of my first Pheno hunt. I can't thank Mosca Seeds and Tiki Madman enough for selecting such great crosses. It's hard to believe I got these two seeds as a freebie pack, with another order. I'm super thankful to have Grow Diaries to use and rely on for charting my week to week data, questions I have, and comparing my findings and results to other growers with similar strains, like @THCpapa grow of Raspberry Boogie! Thank you for checking out this week's entry of my growdiaries! See you for the harvest! -Starfish

Explosion part 3! This plant is considered Autoflowering, but I would say is most likely a regular one! She is just HUUUGE, hopefully I was able to stop her growing but side branches reached the 83cm and almost touching the LED... I've introduced Bloombastic (0.5ml per liter) and I will gradually increase till 1.5ml per liter and stop when will be time to flush. Buds are getting bigger but I'm thinking that she will need at least 3 more full weeks... Hopefully with some good results at the end! I obligatory defoliated her and also removed some small side branches, without any stress encountered. I'll keep you guys posted, stay tuned, stay high!

Big transformation in 1 week, plants are covered with buds, they didnt get a lot of stretch, the buds are just stacked. I did a massive defoliation on Sunday, removing more or less all the fan leaves i could safetly cut off without damaging bud sites. A lot of light for all the buds. Some problems start to occur. First all the leaves got their tips dry and they twist up, i thought its nute burn but supposedly its cal-mag deficiency, so i am adding it to my nutrients now. I also got attacked by caterpillars, i found a couple but recent bites looks like there is more. Search and destroy mode + BT.

The strain grows pretty easy. She can definitely eat a lot nutes but be careful into flowering her ph tends to swing very slightly but if not caught early can be a bit detrimental later. Grew a 5 ft plant in a 3.5 gallon res and she flourished. Good and fun photo period plant.

84 days from seed and the Critical Purple is still vegging. She should flip any day now but on track with regular photo period plants In my region...x2 of the CP are filling up nicely. I harvested one of my GG autos last week and my GWS doesn't have very long either :)

Thats week 6 of flower in the bag. 3 (maybe 4) go! I wont lie I have been visiting the tent more often these days thanks to the beautiful aroma tempting me to have a look at their progress. The last 24 hours has been quite satisfying for me because the bud growth is now steaming ahead. I wish I had taken photos last night but I showed the girls to a friend yesterday and we could see all the bud sites peeking through but when I checked on them this afternoon the buds are exploding through with vigor! Ive taken another video and a fair few bud shots but next week I will be taking more photos to show you more than just top bud growth as these girls are stacking up! Ive always been really envious of other growers who top their plants multiple times and take the time to ensure the canopy is as level as possible but Im quite proud of my girls canopy and multiple top colas! Anyway, so all I have been doing is continuing with a water and seaweed extract feed, still about 5litres each and they had their last top amendment feed last weed which will last them to the end now and I want them to use up as much of the nutrients available in the soil before I start flushing in the next couple of weeks. For anyone reading who doesnt know about flushing, Ill explain. Flushing is a technique used by growers to get rid of as much of the added nutrients in the medium by 'flushing' around 3 times the volume of the pot the plant is growing in with normal tap water (ensuring the water is at the right PH). Essentially you want to flush the plant in 3 batches so that the medium has time to settle between each flush ensuring you get all the nutrients and minerals out of the medium. You will notice that the run off will get lighter and lighter with each batch of flushing which is the nutrients being flushed out. We do this so that the plant is forced to use its own nutrients which in turn I have found also fattens up the buds. This is the time when you start to notice a change of colour in your plants as they start to use up the nutrients stored in the leaves. Dont panic as these deficiencies are just a sign that the nutrients are being used up and you will end up with bud that will dry better and be less prone to mold issues as well as a smoother smoke and better terpene profiles. Just look at that frost... Thats it for this week! ✌️

Hey there, Welcome to another week in the tent. All plants are proceeding well, only thing is the gelato leaves are very light green in places bordering on yellow. I have added a little exra N nutes to that plant to try and remedy. Other than that its plain sailing. Very easy going plants. Might just be me, but im sure that the QB has bought out the pistils sooner than the HPS did, but who knows. Light is doing very well, ecstatic with the upgrade. Tried to upload a vid, but getting site errors, so maybe later it will be up. Happy Growing.

Start of week 3 of flowering for plants 2 & 3. They are showing signs of heat stress, three days last week temps in the grow room reach 35°c. Aside from some heat stress, the plants still look healthy and the bud sites are developing nicely. Light defoliation of each plant, removing the dying leaves and some of the ones showing signs of dying.

Overview of my grow: Tent: 4 x 4 120 cm by 120 cm Lights: 2 x 120 Watt CTlite c4 clusterled Climat: Dehumidifyer 240 watt Prima Klima carbon filter Secret Jardin 20 W osc fan Pots: 4 x 11 liter airpots Water : automated water system Nutrients: Plagron cocos A + B Plagron PK 13/14 ATA cal/mag Epsom salt Week 2, it is not going as expected, she is still a little bit small i think, i mean she is growing but especially compared to the other plants she is not doing so good i think. At the end of the week i see her leaves a bit cupping upwards, at first i thought it was because of the spraying of mist what i do over the day, but i stopped it and it is not getting better only worse. Maybe it is heatstress but my other plants are fine. So i was thinking maybe it is heat along with the wind, so i replaced my fan to the other corner see what happens now. She is still on a low feeding schedule, and at day 10 i installed my auto water system. Maybe it is because there is to much water sprayed at the plant at that moment of giving water in the morning so that is causing my problems. i dont now, in the video it looks oke. I get up and inspect it tomorrow. We will see what happens in week 3

6 weeks in soil, everything is doing great, genetics are good and did respond well to topping ! Gonna clean them a bit ( after taking the pictures), by plugging off the inner leaves and lollipopping the 2 lowest sides shoots . Watering with some BIO 8-2-2 , plants will break down this source of Nitrogen quicker than breaking down the one available in BIO Soil. As these ladies are eating like monsters I don’t want them to run out of anything if possible. Another last week before putting everyone under a trellis and start scrogging. I will be able to start to see which lowers shoots are going to reach to top ! ( I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞 )

Heeey all! Sorry for the huge amount of photos but this week was crazy. So many things happened and my lack of knowledge clearly showed up. I ended stressing one of my plants for no reason! 😱 At the start of the week everything was normal until I noticed that one of Roko's buds looked weird. It seemed to be too dry and orange for my tastes and I didn't know what it was. Obviously I started to ask around and I got so many mixed messages haha. Some people said it was nothing and I should not worry about it and others said they were 100% sure it was botrytis or budrot... aaaaaaaand I got paranoid lol. 😵😨 At first I tried to keep calm and ignore it for one day but the next one the bud looked even worse and that's when I feared the worst. What if it's really budrot? In general the values I write in here are approximates or an average of the week.. and usually my tent never goes over 60% of RH (in the dark it stays between 50% to 60% when I water them and on some rare occasions it reaches 65%). This time, after I checked the thermometer it said "75% of RH" but I did not know if it was during their sleep time or maybe some time after the lights went on) so once again I feared the worst! What if the plants stayed all the night with that amount of RH? Was that enough time for them to develop budrot? What if it's still nothing? Yikes. 😭 I had to do something and I did, I wasn't going to risk everything! I started removing the worst looking leaf to see if there was anything mushy or ugly between it and the pistils but I didn't see anything (maybe I was safe and that was something else? Or maybe the budrot was even deeper and I could not see it?) After reading I realized that the best idea was to cut the bud in half and then slice it to "see" if there was anything inside... so I did it and absolutely nothing showed up 😖! Those were good news! Sadly tho the poor plant had to go thru some stress after cutting that bud in half (at least from what I saw the insides were tightly packed and the photos showed some really cool stuff) The rest of the week was uneventful (compared to what I feared haha) and some leaves started to change even more in color (I love it). I think I'll start with the flush next week or the one after that one. There are some amber trichomes...! Thanks all for checking my diary! Hopefully you'll all find the pictures interesting! PD: None of the plants have seeds in them, even when one of the sliced buds seemed to be making them!

8/12 D29 Ponytailing finish results were good. Plants spreading out nicely and switching to HPS as 2 are in flower and looks like all in a day or so. Ceila is just huge and the rest not far behind really. Update: Next feed biobloom/biogrow/si/rchrg think they will enjoy the extra nuets just a gut feeling but I really want to see how large these may get on organics so give em what I can. Light to HPS at 600w and I think they are ready for the flowering stretch to begin in a few days. 8/14 Secondary feed - retrain Becky due to growth just leaf tucking the rest 8/15 D32 Site not letting me comment pics so... in order of the uploaded pics In inches: Ceila - 19x19x11.5 Becky - 17x18x12 Deb - 15x17x12 Anna - 15x14x12 Canopy is flat only Becky is really trained and they are doing exactly as we wished. BioBizz is fantastic I am seeing explosive consistent growth on all 3 grows, so aint no coinkydink 8/16 Going to be careful here adding a fourth fan for the underside and having my wife help with keeping an eye on the leaves for signs of danger. Try not to get blindsided by something we have haven't seen yet. 8/17 Raised lights and will be keeping a close eye on temps as this strain is susceptible to heat and some leaf curling is noticable. Ceila needed extra water, she just a big girl, so got an extra liter this morning. The others are fine. Looking forward to the new flowering ten next month, going to need that 4x4 space.

Day 15: The week is off to a healthy and vibrant start. I found caterpillars in my tent on some other plants. The bugs are dead, and the Pink Kush Auto remains undamaged (whew!). Day 21: All three plants had a burst of growth this week. Very nice to see! The plants are fairly consistent in size, though BRAVO edges out her sisters by a half inch or so. Plants look vigorous and healthy, but ALPHA might have some nutrient burn happening.
