W9.D1(60) 🌸⏰🌟👀🔧 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 👀 observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care 🔧. 🌿🔪📉✂️🤲 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 🔪 blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual 📉 and gentle, not abrupt and harsh ✂️. 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) 🕶️🌞📉✂️🌱 Nothing special is happening. 🕶️ As the days continue, I am reducing the light 🌞 hours and gradually trimming the excess ✂️, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our 🌱 champion. 🤔💡🌸🚫🌿 I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. 🤔 It's a delicate balance of stress 💡 and growth, where each cut 🚫 might impact her readiness to 🌸 bloom. 🏠✂️🍀💪🔗 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 ✂️ boosts the vitality 💪 of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links 🔗 to the flourishing future we aim for. W9.D3(62) 🔄💧➕🔙 I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. 🔄 In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence 💧 is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing ➕ Bud Factor X into our regimen. W9.D4(63) 🌱🌿🌟🔍📦 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 🔍 confines of her 📦 environment is both astounding and challenging. 🤔💡🌱👏🌟 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. 🤔 While pondering this, the innovative 💡 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 👏 applause for its efficiency and 🌟 brilliance. W9.D5(64) 🕒🌞🌱👀🌸 The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. 🕒 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 👀 eyes. W9.D6(65) 🌱📦🔄🌿💚 The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. 🌱 As time 🔄 unfolds, our grow box 📦 becomes increasingly vibrant with 🌿 lush greenery, brimming with the 💚 essence of vitality.

The crazy stretchy yellow plant turned out to be a male and was removed from the tent. The others filled in the space quickly and have finished their stretch. Overall it's not looking too bad at this point. Continued feeding with a tomato fertilizer I had laying around. Added some epsom salts to the water.

Well week 7 day 1 (day 50) and the girls are starting to progress. Looking very sticky indeed. Bat taking a cold spell at the moment. Hopefully it passes quick. Day 51, added a small fan to circulate a bit more air as the buds are now starting to fatten up. Day 52, watered them tonight and took this little video. Day 53, just letting them be ✌️ Day 54, only one needed some water the other are still damp. Day 55, watered and fed the other two, really starting to frost up now. Thanks for checking in and I hope you all have a great week! ✌️

Week 11 Day 71 (9/25) Well I made an partially informed decision with her. I went ahead and gave her a mini flush, ran 3 gallons of water through her to try and get some of the excess nutrients out. I'll give a few days, then will feed her again. I'm going to try and remember to bust out the microscope tonight and check her trichomes. She's still got plenty of white pistils, but I just need to see if I am actually able to see the trichs for when the time comes. Day 72 (9/26) Her pot was still fairly heavy this morning, so no plans to feed today. I'm thinking tomorrow she'll be ready. I feel so bad for her, she's looking kinda pitiful. I did get a chance to try out a cheap little phone clip on microscope I have. It was difficult to get it down to the bud, but took a few pics. These are zoomed in on the small area that it actually captured. Worked out okay, but it's gotta be like ON the bud to see anything, and now it's sticky and funky. Which to be fair, isn't really a bad thing. I think it will work well enough to check trichomes for readiness. Her pistils are browning surprisingly quickly, I wasn't expecting that. I may start checking trichomes every few days or so. Day 73 (9/27) Wasn't able to get on and get posted yesterday, the mother-in-law was at our house all day. But she was feeding us mushrooms all day, so I guess that's okay lol. Day 74 (9/28) I was able to get up early and get her fed. Her smell is amazing, sweet and potent. I messed around a bit with the microscope but it's pretty hard to get decent pics. Day 75 (9/29) Played around with the microscope a bit last night. It's pretty hard to get clear shots of the trichomes, but I'm getting better at it the more a mess with it. Debating on getting a handheld microscope off amazon or something, just to try to make it easier and more clear to see the trichomes. Currently working on the wife about getting some lights for the 4x4 and getting that tent going. I'd like to be able to run multiple plants! Day 76 (9/30) She's getting closer and closer! After the flush, it seems like the lockout is over as she isn't progressing like she was. Day 77 (10/1) I pulled out the microscope lens for my phone and checked trichomes. Realized I was probably better off just taking a video and checking multiple buds. Worked out pretty good, just paused the video when I had a clear shot and was able to zoom in and such to look closer. Here I am...just waiting....waiting...waiting...waiting...

Que pasa familia, volvemos el viernes con las power plant xL del banco Zambezaseeds, la verdad que estoy sorprendido con el Aroma que desprenden estos ejemplares, es muy dulce y fuerte. Han crecido bastante a diferencia del resto, sacaron brazos largos y llenos de flores. Conseguimos bajar la humedad y eso se agradece por la etapa que afrontamos de floración. Estás tú ultimas semana sin añadiremos PK en polvo. Hemos tutorado las power plant xL debido a la altura y el peso de la flor en si, ahorramos problemas futuros estás semanas y las centramos al engorde.

Switched lights to 20/4. I overwatered last week and still waiting for soil to dry out a bit before watering again. I will do same low dose feed as last week. This seedling is growing the fastest out of all the seeds I started. I think it’s because she’s in a fast draining seedling mix and I’ve been overwatering everything. She looks happy 😊 Day 17 update: She’s now getting 25ml of water a day and she’s 6cm. I’m feeding full calmag and half growth dose. Added an oscillating fan to the tent yesterday to make her vibrate. Kinda wish I planted her in a bigger pot now but I’m going to leave her alone and see what she can do.

11 mars Tous va bien ! Juste la "Lemon Garlic Og" qui montre signes de un peu trop d'engrais sur le bout des feuilles.(pourtant j'ai arrêté l'engrais bloom en mineral pour le passé en organic) Sinon elles vont bien ! Elles sont un peu fine, ça manque de volume (je vais remédier à ça en ajoutant du "PK" d'ici 1 a 2 semaines). J'ai posté 2 vidéos et des photos de chaques variétés. Sinon j'ai pas grand choses à dire. Ca brille-brille, ça sent bon ! C'est sur la bonne voie pour une jolie floraison !

This week they are all just putting on some weight still a few weeks left to go. Pics were taken on Monday video on Tuesday. The aromas are pretty strong in the tent in general. Shes closing in on the finish going to start the flush sometime this week I think just give it a long one. Took some pics with and without flash, using a 85mm and 40mm lense. The close ups are with the 85mm u can see the vibrance of the trichomes.

D35 - The first day in the fifth week of veg for #2 and the fourth for #1. I gave both girls around 1.2-liters of water @ pH 6.3. I topped the second girl for the second time today, six days after her first topping, and I will top the first girl for the first time tomorrow. I also removed the large fan leaves from her fourth node as they have served their purpose. D36 - Today, it was time to top the first girl for the first time. Exactly one week after the second girl. She had grown a lot in four weeks to a height of 33 cm and a massive 50 cm wide, looking luscious and very healthy. I topped her the same way as the second girl, just above the fourth node, and removed everything below it. I stripped her down to the bare essentials and honestly felt a bit bad for doing that to her. I didn't keep any clones this time, as I still have the clones from the second girl. I might take a cut from her later, though, considering how vigorous she grew. Finally, I gave her around 1.5-liters of water @ pH 6.5. D40 - The first girl has recovered well from her abuse a few days ago, and I should be able to top her again in a couple of days. The second girl is still a few days out from her third topping. D41 - The end of the fourth week of veg for the first girl and the fifth week for the second girl. Sorry about the porno-light pics. I was a bit late, and my lights had already gone into sunset mode.

Girls got their first foliar spray! I've never done this before but got the equipment and bioinsecticide and moved forward. Really gotta prevent those damn mites and aphids. Not messing around anymore. This girl is getting flipped to flower now and I'll train as she grows to maximize the tent space. I don't want her growing out of the tent on this one. Dimmed to 40% Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Since joining growdiaries I’ve seen that 420 Fastbuds are one of the (if not) the most notorious genetics on here.. so I’ve got my hands on some Fastberry seeds (which with the promotion I got one free!!) I’ve been very bored with the kind of weed I have been smoking recently the taste of the buds aren’t too great so I’m very excited to give this strain a try with the promise of berry flavoured weed!!! Happy growing! Mon 8th March - after a few days of being in a damp paper towel stored in a dark warm place she’s popped a little tap root. I will leave until tomorrow then I’ll plant her directly into her final 3 gallon pot. 🍁 Tue 9th March - Placed into her final pot gave her a little water and placed dome over her until she pops.

Loud hashy, pepper, sulfur, rotten fruit, lemon, and Skittles terps. The landraces got nice structure, terps and yield but resin is lacking. I think that's normal. Gonna have to cross these a few times till I find something great that is worth it.

semana de crecimiento de tricomas, ademas las flores presentan un crecimiento muy bueno, ya están madurando de verdad, el próximo cultivo lo documentaré con fotos mas claras, he aprendido mucho de tenerlas en hidroponia, me gusta y lo voy a seguir usando y explotando
