W9.D1(60) ๐ŸŒธโฐ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ง I think the time has come to transition to flowering. ๐ŸŒธ As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights โฐ before, and I know that the standard is to switch to 12/12. However, I'd like to experiment with reducing the lighting by 30 minutes each day this week, aiming to reach 14/10. ๐ŸŒŸ This gradual approach will let us ๐Ÿ‘€ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care ๐Ÿ”ง. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ“‰โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฒ Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. ๐ŸŒฟ Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the ๐Ÿ”ช blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual ๐Ÿ“‰ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh โœ‚๏ธ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach ๐Ÿคฒ, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for. W9.D2(61) ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ“‰โœ‚๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Nothing special is happening. ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ As the days continue, I am reducing the light ๐ŸŒž hours and gradually trimming the excess โœ‚๏ธ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our ๐ŸŒฑ champion. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿšซ๐ŸŒฟ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. ๐Ÿค” It's a delicate balance of stress ๐Ÿ’ก and growth, where each cut ๐Ÿšซ might impact her readiness to ๐ŸŒธ bloom. ๐Ÿ โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ”— But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. ๐Ÿ  Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip โœ‚๏ธ boosts the vitality ๐Ÿ’ช of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links ๐Ÿ”— to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ’งโž•๐Ÿ”™ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. ๐Ÿ”„ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence ๐Ÿ’ง is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing โž• Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ“ฆ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. ๐ŸŒฑ With her vigorous ๐ŸŒฟ growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. ๐ŸŒŸ Her ambition to explore beyond the ๐Ÿ” confines of her ๐Ÿ“ฆ environment is both astounding and challenging. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒŸ I'm not sure how I'll manage it, but the example set by @Chamomile with his compact yet extremely effective growing method is truly inspiring. ๐Ÿค” While pondering this, the innovative ๐Ÿ’ก approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, ๐ŸŒฑ greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of ๐Ÿ‘ applause for its efficiency and ๐ŸŒŸ brilliance. W9.D5(64) ๐Ÿ•’๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŒธ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. ๐Ÿ•’ Having adjusted the ๐ŸŒž light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we ๐ŸŒฑ observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage ๐ŸŒธ right before our ๐Ÿ‘€ eyes. W9.D6(65) ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ”„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. ๐ŸŒฑ As time ๐Ÿ”„ unfolds, our grow box ๐Ÿ“ฆ becomes increasingly vibrant with ๐ŸŒฟ lush greenery, brimming with the ๐Ÿ’š essence of vitality.

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Exotic Seed, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato lโ€™opportunitร  di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrร  svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Questa piccola ha avuto la sfortua di essere piantata in vaso da 5l, ma comunque ha tenuto lo stesso il passo delle altre mostrando che le auto possono e devono essere coltivate indoor.. Con cime che sembrano cervelli e dal colore nero รจ una delle genetiche che fumandola mi ha trasmesso di piรน avendo un sapore di cioccolato fondente intenso che ti manda su di giri!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto โค๏ธ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

420Fastbuds FBT2312/Week1 Week 1 update on these new sprouts. Been a week since they sprouted and so far seems good. I did switch from misting the top soil with my sprayer to feeding 500ml of water and 1/4tsp/gal strength General Hydroponics Calimagic about every other day. Started seeing some rust spots so I'll keep a close eye and make sure it doesn't get any worse. Over all Happy Growing

Week 17 Nothing really moved this week. Itโ€™s something like between low tide and high tide: not my favorite moment โ€ฆ waiting for blossoms and flowers ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™. Good point is that every plants are healthy ( except a parasite problem on Psicodelicia) and well prepared for flowering. For now itโ€™s bad weather outside: 20 degrees max, with lot of wind and rain (cf video). The green house is the best option despite of less exposure. Morning soon I moved the plants outside to sprayed them with potassium soap (natural insecticide). I cleaned the grow space inside the greenhouse (didnโ€™t touch spiderwebsโ€ฆgood insecticide too). I removed the automatic watering and get a few liters of rain water during this days. Watering 1L every 3 days -Calmag + Cannazym + Alga mic + Root booster -Flora Series: preflowering quantities. Daylight 14h30: 6h50/21h20 Psicodelicia is still a pretty plant but I saw some bad leaves covered by white spotsโ€ฆ behind I notice some little light yellow grubs: itโ€™s certainly a thrips attack. I treated the plant with potassium soap and wait before the Neem oil. The numbers of blooming sites are well identified and growth is totally fixed.

Nearing close to the end. Really regret not using the scrog net as theyโ€™re struggling to hold themselves up as they go through their final swellings on the buds. Smell has changed and has a candy sweet at the moment starting to come througH

Hi growmies, Somehow I must have missed to update this diary last, my apologies for thatโ€ฆ. As the Afghan was dried, she could finally move into her forever home. I have made some modifications to the box, compared to the last run. The biggest change is of course that itโ€™s housing now a 20l DWC system, build from two euro containers. I have further installed a little Computer fan below the canopy and will probably install another one above the canopy. Last but not least, I installed a ScrOG, build from an old Coca-Cola fridge, that someone disgarded somewhere. Lates see how it will go this time.

Week 18 for Gelato 41 by seedstockers She's just becoming a monster... i know i went through a period of barely feeding her... well this week she's been fed 5-7L of water plus heavy heavy sprays every night๐Ÿ˜‚ so a bit of a change up she doesn't seem phased either way. Im a little worried when it comes to flowering because she barely/never gets wind & her branches aren't very strong. Which is one of the reasons I spray them heavy every evening to build some strength. She also needs a nice defoliation again to keep PM away + also need to start thinking about giving her flower dry amendments top feed because i think she's partly going into flower because of the shade.

In week 8 iv come to the sad realization that nearly all of the plants are at different stages of development. Dispite all the seeds being germinated at the same time. So iv had to take them off the wilma systems and am feeding them manually and there all on different diets. Which is an absolute headache especially as there is 16 plants to tend too. I think iv bit off abit more than I can chew for my first grow I maybe should have started with a couple of plants. I think the large wilma setups are designed for clones really so you know they are all going to progress and eat the same amount at once. It's not for autos . There all looking healthy though:)

The best quality cannabis I have grown so far. Sweet and smooth with a mellow, balanced and creative high. Nuggs look amazing after 12 days curing. Shame I don't have any more seeds, will def grow again. RQS done a great job. 123 Gram of top quality bud and 32 Gram of trim for hash. Sincere thanks to the grow diaries community. In just over a year I have learned enough to grow top quality medicine at a fraction of what I would normally pay. Plus, it's such an interesting hobby! I will continue giving to this great community. This plant is mother nature's gift to us all.

About 60 days in now and the plants are done getting taller. Buds are starting to get bigger and everything is starting to get nice and frosty, still have a long way to go on this one I think. I just got done with a res change and filled it back up with more Cropsalt at 3.4 g/Gal Bloom A and 1.74 g/Gal Bloom B. This stuff seems great so far, PH is super stable and the plants seem to like it.

2/4: Photo session day! These are the fastest, most vigorously growing plants in the garden, but also the slowest to flower.๐Ÿ˜• I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.๐Ÿ˜ 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls are taller than anybody else in the garden, and still stretching (unfortunately). Surprisingly, they're also the slowest to pop pistils. They are flowering, but slow as hell for an indica dominant strain. I probably should have left them all in the dark for a full day when I switched to flower to encourage them to flip faster. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's not cooler than 72f, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.๐Ÿ™ 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

Pretty resistant to wpm but still susceptible. I'd like to breed in more resistance but that may lower cbd content. So we will see what she taste like and go from there and

The girls are starting to pack on some weight. I'm still learning so it feels like I will kill them at any moment but I can see that isn't the case so far. Here is to making it another week <3
