Week 7 of Veg. 4x4 filled out very nicely. Added in a 2nd 500W light and spread the plants out a bit more to allow more airflow/light penetration. Now the fun begins :D

The end of week 9 of flowering arrives with no major structural changes, although the colas continue to thicken slightly, and the leaves are slowly taking on reddish hues. It seems unlikely that they’ll complete the full color transformation before harvest, but the visual progression is still beautiful to observe. No nutrients have been added this week—only filtered water through activated carbon, with the pH maintained between 6.3 and 6.4. This flushing phase helps to remove residual salts and fertilizers from the substrate, ensuring a cleaner and more natural final product. The trichomes are now showing a more pronounced milky coloration, though there are still relatively few with amber heads, indicating the plants haven’t quite reached full maturity yet. My plan is to wait until week 10, though I might harvest slightly earlier depending on how the trichomes evolve over the next few days. The aroma has become intense and complex—fruity, spicy, and fuel-like—suggesting a rich terpene profile with strong character. I’m genuinely excited to taste the outcome of this grow; after all the care and patience invested, anticipation is at its peak.

This strain grew tall and lanky, with very compact and beautiful nugs. the frost that came out is quite incredible and the fruity sweet and piney smells coming off the plant are lovely. i would definitely grow this plant again, it was easily trainable and the node spacing allowed light to penetrate deep into the canopy, maximizing my grow surface area

Not much more work to do... I did some light defoliation today to avoid any popcorn buds and I think that’s it until harvest for all my girls. I’ll just keep watering them. - The critical is the most advanced one... I’m thinking to harvest it in around 2 weeks... so I’ll be starting flushing soon. - Northern Lights & Moby D have developed many stems and they are looking very even in height throughout the plants. They are not half the height of the Critical, but still have some additional weeks to go

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to proudly present to you my diary in which, for the next winter time outside the window, I begin a magical adventure with the famous gorillas in a rather exotic climate - and here I want to point out that the seeds were a gift from RQS. Once again I want to thank for the grinder that I use every day, the Vertafort fertilizer which will land in the soil, the posters that decorate the walls in my room (you chose my favorite varieties btw) and the 10 seeds of the Royal Haze which will surely be in the next project. So today I feel like I'm in a position to share with an adventure that starts here and now. I feel obliged to post new updates every day. Please also comment and give advice by colleagues in the field. Here is a list of things I will use: Soil: Biobizz ALL-MIX Fertilizers: All Biobizz Bio-Grow Bio-bloom Bio-heaven Top-Max Leaf-Coat Acti-Vera ALG-A-MIC Veg setup: Growbox 70x45x150 MH 150W GIB Lighting GROWTH SPECTRUM Advanced Humidifier 5L AERI Advanced Star 13W Fan Carbon filter ORIGINAL 75 - 100 M3 per H Axial Flo Fan 100 Peat pots: 7x 10X8cm and 3x 11X10cm And much much love Flo setup: Growbox Secret Jardin 120x120x185 Dark Street LED 2x200W ADVANCED STAR DUAL HPS 150W GIB Lighting FLOWER SPECTRUM Pro Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 20 Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 30 Fan PK125 MES 420m Coal Filter Prima Klima ECO 360 - 480 m3 I will soon describe more details.

La planta de la tierra viene creciendo bastante bien, los trips han disminuido bastante asi que por eso seguiremos combatiendolos con aceite de neem.

I have bad news friends. A grief happened. After I updated my diary a few days ago, there was a hurricane on the street and there was a strong ice hail. The size of the ice balls reached several centimeters. That is why I am forced to do diary updates ahead of time. As you could already imagine after an ice hail that lasted 10-15 minutes. Because of this, the plants are very much affected. From the beginning, it became very dark on the street, as if night had begun during the day, after which there was thunder and thunderstorm and freezing rain began. I immediately began to worry about my plants, but I couldn’t get to them. Hurricane and hail began as suddenly as it ended. When I came to the place today, firstly I saw that the whole reed fell to the ground, so my secret passage to the secret place became open, and my buckets became visible from far, through the fallen reed. Most likely I will be forced to move the plants even further into the depths of the swamp, but now I can’t do it, because it has flooded a little, but my plants are on an island. I know that the reed will recover and rise when the weather is sunny. The second problem was when I saw the plants after the ice hail, it is that they were very badly damaged. Two plants managed to survive the ice hail with minimal losses, they lost only a few leaves. The third plant was interrupted by a central one on the crown. And the fourth plant suffered the most. His central stem was interrupted, and almost all lateral processes and leaves were broken, and only 3 branches remained on it. Broken parts of the plant lay below. This is very sad, since I wanted to try these plants most of all. Unfortunately, I could not do anything against the weather and the sudden ice hail. You won’t argue against the Russian weather. With grief, I drank vodka. I am extremely sad because of this at heart. Where they grow, the sun is not too much for the plants to completely recover. Part of their potential will be lost forever. They will survive, but they will not be able to give a full crop in the areaBut despite this, I will continue to keep this diary, as part of the plants remained alive and safely survived the ice hail. From the very beginning, after the ice hail passed, I thought that the plants would be completely dead, since it was almost impossible to survive under such a hail, even people ran away from the street. The fact that several plants remained unscathed, and two though they suffered damage, but everything grows evenly, is a real miracle. The city was very strong and big. Therefore, with your support and my love, I hope that they will show what these plants are capable of under the given conditions. If you are interested in following the adventures of weed in Russia, subscribe to my diaries and leave your comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ У меня плохие новости друзья. Произошло горе. После того как я обновил несколько дней назад свой дневник на улице произошел ураган и был сильный ледяной град. Размеры ледяных шариков достигали нескольких сантиметров. Именно поэтому я вынужден сделать обновления дневника раньше времени. Как вы уже могли себе представить после ледяного града который продолжался 10-15 минут. Из-за этого растения очень сильно пострадали. С начало на улице очень сильно стемнело, как будто днём началась ночь, после чего был гром и гроза и начался ледяной дождь. Я сразу начал переживать за свои растения, но никак не мог к ним попасть. Ураган и град начался так же внезапно, как и закончился. Когда я пришёл сегодня на место, во первых я увидел что весь тростник повалило на землю, поэтому мой тайный проход в секретное место стал открытым, а мои ведра стало видно из далека, сквозь поваленный камыш. Вероятней всего я буду вынужден перенести растения ещё дальше в глубь болота, но сейчас я не могу это сделать, так как его немного затопило, но мои растения находиться на островке. Я знаю, что тростник восстановиться и поднимется когда будет солнечная погода. Второй проблемой было когда я увидел растения после ледяного града, это то, что они очень сильно пострадали. Двум растениям удалось пережить ледяной град с минимальными потерями, они лишились всего лишь нескольких листиков. У третьего растения была перебит центральным на макушке. А четвёртое растение пострадало сильнее всех. У него был перебит центральный стебель, а так же сломаны практически все боковые отростки и листья, на нём осталось всего лишь 3 веточки. Отломанные части растения лежали внизу. Это очень печально, так как именно эти растения я хотел попробовать больше всего. К сожалению, против погоды и внезапного ледяного града я не смог ничего сделать. Против Русской погоды спорить не станешь. С горя я напился водки. Мне крайне печально из-за этого на душе. Там где они растут, солнца не слишком много чтоб растения успели полностью восстановиться. Часть их потенциала будет потеряна безвозвратно. Они выживут, но уже не смогут дать полноценный урожай в данной местности. Но несмотря на это, я буду продолжать вести данный дневник, так как часть растений осталась жива и благополучно пережила ледяной град. С самого начала, после того как прошёл ледяной град, я думал, что растения будут полностью мертва, так как выжить под таким градом было практически невозможно, даже люди убегали с улицы. То, что несколько растений остались невредимыми, а два хоть и понесли урон, но всё ровно растут - это реальное чудо. Град был очень сильны и большой. Поэтому с вашей поддержкой и моей любовью, я надеюсь что они покажут, то на что эти растения способны в данных условиях. Если вам интересно следить на приключениями травки в России, подписывайтесь на мои дневники и оставляйте свои комментарии.

Had a good week with these babies, except when I found my cat laying on the biggest of the three sprouts. I sprayed the ish outta her with my spray bottle, she’ll never venture into my garden again lol. Luckily the plant survived, I trimmed to leaves that were crushed. Hopefully it doesn’t get too stressed.

Start of week 6 now, Not sure if this is technically in the flowering stage yet, but def seeing more of the white white pistils. Accidentally overdid it a little on nutrients so had a good flush with some ph balanced water and all seems good, just 1 or 2 burn spots on a leaf here and there. Dialling it all back to keep it safe at the moment. I've had to bend the tallest plant over and am using my tent net to secure it for now. Included a few vids this time, so feel free to let me know if you spot any issues. Smell is now noticeable if I leave my grow tent open whilst watering, so glad I got a carbon filter. :D Also had to get a bit inventive to shift the LED lights up a bit as Im using a 160 CM tall tent. I am planning to bend most of the tops down to the net hight, so hopefully this will keep things from getting light burn as still have about 25 inches of space from the net to the LED its self. Watering is around 600 Ml per pot per 24 hrs just now. Edit: 04/09/18 Added 2 more pics, mostly on some of the lowest leafs, noticed some marks, thankfully just 1 or 2, so not widespread and could equally just be a bit of nutrient burn, but thought Id post to see if anyone notices something I dont.
