W9.D1(60) πŸŒΈβ°πŸŒŸπŸ‘€πŸ”§ I think the time has come to transition to flowering. 🌸 As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights ⏰ 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. 🌟 This gradual approach will let us πŸ‘€ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care πŸ”§. 🌿πŸ”ͺπŸ“‰βœ‚οΈπŸ€² Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. 🌿 Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the πŸ”ͺ blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual πŸ“‰ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh βœ‚οΈ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach 🀲, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for. W9.D2(61) πŸ•ΆοΈπŸŒžπŸ“‰βœ‚οΈπŸŒ± Nothing special is happening. πŸ•ΆοΈ As the days continue, I am reducing the light 🌞 hours and gradually trimming the excess βœ‚οΈ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our 🌱 champion. πŸ€”πŸ’‘πŸŒΈπŸš«πŸŒΏ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. πŸ€” It's a delicate balance of stress πŸ’‘ and growth, where each cut 🚫 might impact her readiness to 🌸 bloom. πŸ βœ‚οΈπŸ€πŸ’ͺπŸ”— But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. 🏠 Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip βœ‚οΈ boosts the vitality πŸ’ͺ of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links πŸ”— to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) πŸ”„πŸ’§βž•πŸ”™ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. πŸ”„ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence πŸ’§ is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing βž• Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) πŸŒ±πŸŒΏπŸŒŸπŸ”πŸ“¦ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. 🌱 With her vigorous 🌿 growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. 🌟 Her ambition to explore beyond the πŸ” confines of her πŸ“¦ environment is both astounding and challenging. πŸ€”πŸ’‘πŸŒ±πŸ‘πŸŒŸ 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. πŸ€” While pondering this, the innovative πŸ’‘ approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, 🌱 greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of πŸ‘ applause for its efficiency and 🌟 brilliance. W9.D5(64) πŸ•’πŸŒžπŸŒ±πŸ‘€πŸŒΈ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. πŸ•’ Having adjusted the 🌞 light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we 🌱 observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage 🌸 right before our πŸ‘€ eyes. W9.D6(65) πŸŒ±πŸ“¦πŸ”„πŸŒΏπŸ’š The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. 🌱 As time πŸ”„ unfolds, our grow box πŸ“¦ becomes increasingly vibrant with 🌿 lush greenery, brimming with the πŸ’š essence of vitality.

Just a few minor notes as everything appears to be going good so far. 2 Weeks into veg, 3rd node is forming nicely. Another week or two, and the first topping will occur. 3/2/2021 2nd Node Complete 3/4/2021 3rd Node Appearing 3/7/2021 3rd Node Complete The Camera is now taking time lapse photos, so I am trying to be even more careful not to change the position of the plant while checking on it. Or getting caught in the photo lol. We did lose a days worth of Time Lapse shots due to a glitch with the camera system during a power outage. I will have to look at adding this to the UPS.

9/18: I harvested one of them. Washed and hung to dry. 9/21: I harvested a couple more. Washed and hung to dry. 9/23: I harvested the last one. Washed and hung to dry. 10/7: I smoked some. I liked it. 10/8: I smoked some more. I'm really glad I have almost 15 ounces of it.πŸ˜‹ a) 69g b) 79g c) 93g d) 84g e) 88g Final thoughts: Easy to grow and train. The two I did some training on produced the most. The buds are dense while growing and remain so after they've dried and started to cure. They redden up beautifully in the jar and have a very mild but sweet minty/flowery smell that comes through in the flavor as well. It's a very strong Sativa buzz which is surprising considering they were the fastest FFT's to finish...among mostly Indica varieties. Potency: 8/10 Yield: 8/10 Flavor: 8/10 Aroma: 8/10 Bag-appeal: 8/10 Trouble-free: 10/10 NOTE: I couldn't find the photos I took of the first one I harvested, but it was the smallest (and stinkiest) of the bunch.

Week 2: Trying to be anal about VPD. Feeding nutrients every watering, PPFD/DLI is not dialed in just following the manuals recommended light distance. Humidifier on the outside of the lower right vent and AC Infinity helps maintain RH %.

10-14 Buildabloom 1/2 tap 10-16 Water Water between 500-700 ml a day. 10-18 Fed 450 ppm build a bloom 10-19 Water few leaves removed. Love her smell. Lemon, lime, sourish! I definitely over filled my tent and this one felt it the most. But mainly because I didn't know what to expect. Somehow she has not been over fed, yet! I still got time! Im excited for her and to grow her again! Oh and to learn to not over feed more than anything. Think imma try just drit, till shes hungry, then do water feeds! When hungry 🀣🀞 .

I really waited long to cut away the last leave as I thought it would maybe help the plant to still grow a little, but no no, she didn’t grow much more.

Day 9 I had no choice but to defoliate, the canopy was getting way to dense and humidity was hard to control even with my 30 pin dehumidifier. Hopefully will not affect to much. Probably I will do another defoliation on day 21. TDS stays at 550PPM this week and CO2 at 1200PPM.

Week 7 of Veg for these beautiful Apple Betty ladies! It was a stressful week for the girls but they made it❀️ Day 44 - I decided the girls had outgrown their 2 gallon nursery pots and were ready to move on. After a quick cleanup of the stems close to the base, they were ready to go. I like to keep my soil in a Rubbermaid bin, either with a fan lightly blowing, or the exhaust line from my tent blowing at it. Since I started doing this, I have not had any gnats or pests in my grows, of course with regular cleanings and IPM…my mix is Promix HP with about 20% worm castings added to it. This time around, I decided to use some Dynomyco to increase the mycorrhiza count of my Promix HP. This will increase root development by adding all kinds of interconnected webbing and allow for better uptake of nutrients overall. Within an hour or so all of the ladies were transplanted ❀️ x2 in 7 gallon fabric pots, and 1 in a 5 gallon fabric pot ( the 5 gallon will finish in my 2x4 tent) Once the girls bounce back and take hold of their new forever pot, I will be setting up my custom β€œfloating” SCROG net and allowing them some time to get bent and tucked all nice snug before I flip to a flower schedule. Happy Gardening β€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸŒ±πŸ˜Ž

Settimane 10 di fioritura iniziata e hanno un profumo buonissimo e forte, a fine di questa settimana vedrΓ² se raccogliere o aspettare un’altra settimana poichΓ© i fiori in basso non sono ancora abbastanza maturi. Questa Γ¨ la mia prima esperienza e so di aver commesso errori ma le piante hanno comunque resistito. Avrei bisogno di qualche consiglio per capire se dopo questa settimana devo raccogliere oppure no. Ciao a tutti

Plants are growing at a insane rate, going to give them one more week but could have got a good result flipping them today. But I will be patient and wait. Big roots big fruits
