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.

This is my first induced flowering growth. I always grow weed outdoors with big satisfaction on yield and nature contact, But I have to say that training plants is real fun and I canโ€™t wait to see the buds first appear and then fatten up. On day 5 of flowering she started to appear a little stressed, I think is a little overfeeding because her leaves are a little burned on the tip and a little underwater too but this morning end of day 6 appear to be recovering has the timelapse show on the end. Happy growing to you all brothers and sisters โ˜ฎ๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธโ˜ฎ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿผ

Hi 420 Family. The past 6 weeks have been up and down a bit here and there, some noob mistakes made also.... But nevertheless, things are starting to look great. All of these plants are showing quite hairy bud sites and the pistils are mostly milky. WW's are ahead by about a week or two from what I have heard from other friends and growers but we will see. I have upped the nutes a little bit this week, and also added a small about of BioBizz Bio-Bloom. Let's see how it goes! D47 - 22 Aug - So far so good. Buds are swelling up nicely and they are starting to stink (the good kind). White Widow has quite a spicy, potent smell. Purple Lemonades smell sweet and fresh (some purple in the stems and the stems of certain leaves but no purple flower yet; I do hope I get at least SOME purple flowers!). Otherwise, they seem to respond well to the nutrients I have been feeding the past 2 runs. I think for the next feeding I will add some more grow tho, the PL's seem to have a slightly larger appetite for Magnesium/Nitrogen perhaps. After that, proper flush and then some worm tea that I will brew from my leftover worm castings and the normal flowering schedule to follow. I am happy thus far and I really am enjoying this so damn much, I think I've already won this round. :) D50 - 25 Aug - Ladies are responding well to the extra nutrients, and the smells are just next level... The WW's are much more dense and are fattening up nicely. PL still a little behind I rate, pistils are mostly still straight and not as milky. Otherwise, all systems are good and happy to start week 8 tomorrow! :D I have added a heaped cup of worm castings to the top of the soil, let's hope for a great flavor and even more intense smells over the next 2 weeks! Happy growing.

Per questa settimana hanno mostrato una bella crescita anche loro sono state toppate e pulite al primo nodo, ho aggiunto un pizzico di radicante per aiutarle a superare lo stress dell allenamento ma ho visto che si sono riprese bene quindi vediamo se tra una settima riusciamo a cambiare luce anche a queste Gorilla Glue ๐Ÿฆ

8/10 - In prep for flower I've got some Compost Tea brewing with a little Terp Tea Bloom by Roots Organics. .Also did a little selective defoliation 8/11 - Flipped the ladies to flower today! And all is good in the 8x4. 8/12 - Watered all the ladies with the Compost/Terp Tea. Also did some more defoliation and added some mosquito bits for added pest prevention.

Day 35 Flowering: A great week for the ladies this week with their hunger outweighing the living soils capacity.!! I noticed the leaves were starting to fade out a little over the last week or so . I have experience of this from the last 2 crops with the living organic soil. It does seem that even 60L of soil with amendments is not enough to power through the whole cycle when I grow them bigger. This has now meant I can use the amazing MegaCrop again but as a support to the L.O.S . The herd and rootzone will happily work with MC and have no negative affect on the life there. I plan to push them on the feeds to give them a boost for the last couple of weeks growth to come. The FFT#9 and #10 are both pumping power into bud production nownwithbsome beautiful looking colas on the pair of them. FFT#9 Has spread her budstacks out quite well but did need a little supercropping on the side under the sp250 to stop her hitting the light and get her length some full spectrum too. She has a fuel , sweet smell in effect now and stinks my loft space out too. The shape and size of her buds is excellent. Each one is a chunky ,solid and packed stack of tightly squeezed in pistils and she is not stopping yet it seems. A beauty to work with so far. FFT#10 Her week has been bustly with the amount of effort she has packed into her tight hairy bud stacks. She is a wide lady too. Her dark colour is a warning of her potency I hope.... She has some very long , leafy colas compared to the FFT#9 but her trich production will see them put to good use in hash from the trimmed harvest. She smells really strong of sherbet when agitated or hungry so I wonder what her genetics were from amd cannotnwsit to find out all of these FTT mystery strains. not a bad one among them so far and I don't think there will any dissatisfaction from these girls either. Nice Job @fastbuds ....

01/09/25 - Watered 3L Ph 6.0 and removed some dying leaves from the lower canopy 02/09/25 - Watered 3L Ph 5.85 03/09/25 - Watered 3L Ph 5.85 04/09/25 - Watered 2L with no nutrition will start feed again tomorrow ๐Ÿ‘Œ 07/09/25 - Watered 3L ph 5.85. Potassium is needed badly. Ive been under feeding them so much going from synthetic to biobizz ive learnt how it works. Now upped the dosages for the Gorilla cookies and Sour Crinkle #2 3ml bloom 2ml topmax 1ml grow 2ml alg-a-mic 3ml acti-vera and 2ml calmag per litre. Im here for the longrun as this is my medicine hopefully one day I can get off all my medications and just use high doses of thc/cbd/terpens the lot. Feel blessed I atleast have medical cannabis but it costs a fortune for the amount Id need ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

End of the third week of the stretch and they certain out did stretch indeed๐Ÿ˜ณ. Had to crop over the tallest female - she just stretched wayyy too much and thatโ€™s gonna go against her in the rankings when we draw out our seed on each plant. The first male has dropped fully and the others are another 1-2 days out from harvest. Weโ€™ll collect all that pollen and store it for future use if itโ€™s needed. The plants are all showing both similarities and differences - thereโ€™s an even distribution of sativa and indica leaning phenos which suggests that there is def. Some variability in terms of traits for this F1 generation. Exactly what we were looking for as we pare this down to the second filial generation. On the overall growth - absolutely no issues at all with nutritional deficiencies which is a welcome change of pace. The last while weโ€™ve been growing some strains that have shown very odd reactions to nute changes and I suspect this is a result of certain strains simply being bred out too far. Hard to say but the radar is definitely up with the well known breeders right now. We have some real winner pheno clones that weโ€™ve rooted and will be flowering out once we get this tent cleaned up and free of pollen. All told, the run is progressing much better than anticipated and with the rate of turnover through transition, Iโ€™m happy to say that there isnโ€™t any one plant I wonโ€™t consider test running on the next cycle. We did have some og auto genetics in the tent for pollination as well but that plant is looking like a bit of a mutant. Not sure if weโ€™ll even bother with testing it at this point but you never know. Expect a harvest update on the males as we move in to the flowering side of the grow and then itโ€™s just waiting around for seed๐Ÿ‘. Alls well for now. Background This project has been a year in strain selection (and another year in the actual making) to get to this point with a viable potential cross. Itโ€™ll be a true polyhybrid with a mix of sativa and indica leaning properties for each. Weโ€™ve combined an especially powerful hybrid sativa strain of Strawberry with an equally manageable and hard hitting strain of indica dominant Skywalker OG. The hope has always been to combine them and boil out the best characteristics of each. The strawberry is phenomenal in terms of terp profile and a mix of strong head and body effects while the Skywalker is a mind bending, body butter kind of indica with that earthy Kush profile and flowery undertones. The strawberry is prone to botrytis and fasciation but features excellent terps and yields if grown correctly. Sheโ€™s Also stretchy and somewhat unruly when she gets going. The Skywalker is a contrast in growth characteristics with a squat structure, medium sized buds and excellent resilience and resistance. The plan is to seed out the available females and take cuts of what we can post-stretch to get a closer look at any differing phenos. Still very much early stages for a stabilized new strain but weโ€™ve got the right foundation of solid genetics. Now we just gotta get it off the ground to the next generation๐Ÿ‘. Weโ€™re predominantly focused on the plants that demonstrate that hybrid vigour and wasting no time with any problem plants or runts. Stay tuned - with a little luck, this cross is gonna be straight ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘Œ.

Soil level is a bit low after the transplant so getting ready to add some in. Took domes off and did first Nute feed on day 12. Using a FloraTrio mix with a touch of Cali-Magic and epsom salt
