๐ธโฐ๐๐๐ง I think the time has come to transition to flowering. ๐ธ As I embrace this new phase, I have never done this by switching the lights โฐ 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. ๐ This gradual approach will let us ๐ observe how our champion plant adapts to the changes with precision and care ๐ง.
๐ฟ๐ช๐โ๏ธ๐คฒ Likewise, I did not immediately remove the huge mass that has grown. ๐ฟ Instead, I'm choosing to wield Occam's Razor in a gradual manner, wielding the ๐ช blade carefully, to ensure the vitality reduction of the plant is gradual ๐ and gentle, not abrupt and harsh โ๏ธ. This method respects the living essence of the plant and aims for a cautious, nurturing approach ๐คฒ, enhancing our chance to achieve the lush, vibrant bloom we're striving for.
W9.D2(61)
๐ถ๏ธ๐๐โ๏ธ๐ฑ Nothing special is happening. ๐ถ๏ธ As the days continue, I am reducing the light ๐ hours and gradually trimming the excess โ๏ธ, maintaining a steady focus on nurturing our ๐ฑ champion.
๐ค๐ก๐ธ๐ซ๐ฟ I'm not sure how much the stress from pruning parts of our girl might delay her transition to flowering. ๐ค It's a delicate balance of stress ๐ก and growth, where each cut ๐ซ might impact her readiness to ๐ธ bloom.
๐ โ๏ธ๐๐ช๐ But in my cramped conditions, failing to trim the excess doesn't allow the strength to flow where it's needed. ๐ Navigating through the tight spaces, each snip โ๏ธ boosts the vitality ๐ช of the remaining parts, ensuring the most vigorous growth links ๐ to the flourishing future we aim for.
W9.D3(62)
๐๐งโ๐ I've slightly tweaked the formula - removed B52 from H2O2 and added Bud Factor X. ๐ In this ongoing experiment, B52's absence ๐ง is temporary as I explore the effects of introducing โ Bud Factor X into our regimen.
W9.D4(63)
๐ฑ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฆ Bella is expanding, growing very robustly indeed. ๐ฑ With her vigorous ๐ฟ growth, she has already managed to find a gap on one side and attempted to grow out of the grow box. ๐ Her ambition to explore beyond the ๐ confines of her ๐ฆ environment is both astounding and challenging.
๐ค๐ก๐ฑ๐๐ 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. ๐ค While pondering this, the innovative ๐ก approach taken by @Chamomile shines a light on potential solutions, giving me the confidence that even in tight spaces, ๐ฑ greatness can be achieved, and indeed, this example deserves a round of ๐ applause for its efficiency and ๐ brilliance.
W9.D5(64)
๐๐๐ฑ๐๐ธ The light day has already been shortened by 2.5 hours, and, it seems to me, we can witness this transition into flowering firsthand. ๐ Having adjusted the ๐ light schedule, the plant is now undergoing a significant shift, and we ๐ฑ observe this change as it unfolds, moving towards the flowering stage ๐ธ right before our ๐ eyes.
W9.D6(65)
๐ฑ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ The grow progresses leisurely, filling the box with an ever-greater abundance of life. ๐ฑ As time ๐ unfolds, our grow box ๐ฆ becomes increasingly vibrant with ๐ฟ lush greenery, brimming with the ๐ essence of vitality.

July 6: peak growing season now and I expect sheโll be growing about an inch per day here for the next couple of weeks. Weather should be perfect and just have to dodge the thunderstorms. Started another lazy compost tea.
Cheers to all growers. ๐
July 7: mild defoliation done over this last week to let light in to the growth tips. Water only as a light flush.
July 8: definitely fast growth and looking very dark green but hopefully not too much N. Watered in evening with lazy compost tea.
This lazy compost tea is just a 5 gallon (20 L pail) with couple handfuls of mature compost, some molasses, some humic acids and kelp, Dr Bronners peppermint soap as a surfactant (or wetting agent) and vinegar to get pH near 7. Then itโs all left in the shade for about 24-48 hours with the occasional stir.
Alternately you could just use Recharge which is made from bacteria, molasses and humic acids. Super easy either way.
July 10: added a couple handfuls of malted barley as a top dressing. This is a top organic growing tip from Clackamas Coot. Just get some from a local brew shop which should have a variety of malted grains. Cheap stuff is fine. Iโll add some Power Bloom next week but I figured the barley is good enough for now.
Now 25 inches so she grew 6 inches in 4 days. Good times. Good times.

In my opinion, the best moment for every farmer is approaching the final stages of flowering๐
This week, in addition to flowering supplements, I also used Bio Enhancer Feeding fertilizer at 1 g / l water๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐ง
It is difficult to get it in my country, of course, and I bought one of these genetics (Cakes N Inhouse Genetics) for nearly $ 50.๐ธ๐ธ
And in this week, among these genetics that I have, cakes n cream is another thing and it is much better quality

So we are in week 2 of flower I ran out of Dutch pro and my hydro shop didn't have any in stock so I had to swap to canna 450ml A&B I've also added some bud blood.
So today I did some defoliation to anything below my scrog net and tucked some of the bigger fan leaves to expose the new bud sites. I also raised my light a few inches to allow the ladies to grow into it.
21/5/21
The girls are growing fast I did some defoliation 2 days ago and I had to repeat today
26/5/21
Took some fan leaves off that where blocking bud sites only a small handful needed to be removed, I gave them a feed ppm 946 ph 6.3, bud sites are looking nice and healthy I've got plenty of air flow throughout my tent, have yet to notice any aroma but still very early days.
That's all for now gays and gals happy growing and pleasant smoking ;)

I decided to spend the weekend looking for a good Co2 generator setup. It was quite easy to get it running. All you need is two containers, tubing, yeast, sugar, and warm water. Now I'm just waiting to see how long it will last before I have to refill it.
Here is a YouTube link with directions;
https://youtu.be/Gxb_G3JAhso
The plant on the left started to get too wide so I wrapped a bit of string around the two stems and brought them towards the inside of the plant. Then I tied it off on the hooks loosely so I can still adjust it.
Just for good measure I raised the light a few more inches to keep it about a foot distance.

A memorable harvest. The buds are all very high quality and cleaning them was easy as the pruning I did did not produce any popcorn buds. The flavor is among the most intense I've ever tried and it's a plant that I would recommend to everyone.

week intel:
its time to harvest some of plants the ones that is mature enough. indica dominant plants will done first always so we should harvest them first
because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days
stresses :
flushing
Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week
feeding:
day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph
day 3 : no more feeding from now on
day 5 : no more feeding from now on
guide of the week :
i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave.
indica dominant plants will get done 1 or 2 weeks sooner than sativa dominant plants that will often takes more than 8 weeks so be aware to harvest them sooner.
my dry and cure style is this:
3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month.
im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Fastbuds Smoothie Auto
๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ05/03/2023๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
๐Wednesday 05.24.23 - 4 Days after the transplant into 3-gallon pots the girls are great and at the end of week 2, I hope to see another full week of veg before the plants head into that pre-flower stretch, - still getting used to their new digs but noticeable growth and they are going to blow up!
They are loving the Medic Grow Smart 8
๐ Saturday 05.20.23 - Transplanted the Smoothies into their 3-Gallon containers today, did a bottom watering with about 1.5 quarts of H20, and about 50 CCs of H20 around the plants, the roots should blow up and dive down to find that water. Since these are Autos we will watch and see if the transplant causes them to stunt, at the end of week 2 they should at least double in size. The light is set at 60% putting 417W with a PPF: 1168 3.5 AMPS, the tent is just full of light wall to wall.

๐Smoothie Auto is the result of a cross between Somango and Blueberry, and really brings out the best of both worlds; a well-statured plant ideal for all types of growers. Reaching up to 23% THC, this strain delivers an uplifting giggly high. Not to mention its exceptionally fruity taste making it an ideal choice for extractions.
โช๏ธBud Appearance Fruity, sticky, resinous buds, as potent as they are tasty. Rock-solid nugs thatโll crumble when touched.
โช๏ธSmoke Report Balanced, yet Potent. This strain blends a euphoric head high with relaxing body effects. A great strain for a sun-time smoke, a weekend getaway, or a relaxed afternoon with friends.
โช๏ธPlant Appearance A well-structured plant that will grow a large main cola accompanied by some lower side branches, somewhat resembling an Indica, yet still with a good average inter-nodal spacing. During the later weeks of growth, some can expect purple hues to appear on the leaves.

Ladies and gentlemen, this girl is doing well.Today is day 29 and i've been transitioning her from inside to outside, throughout the week.. I've had a lot of personal issues this week so I apologize to Zamnesia Seeds for being a little late on my update... This is one of their tribe strains so you can only grow this if you were a part of the tribe, which I highly recommend you guys become..

Termino de la segunda semana de floraciรณn y las niรฑas no pierden el tiempo. La malla scrog ya fue situada y esta siendo acomodada de a poco para obtener la mejor producciรณn y como si fuera poco, las niรฑas tienen un muy buen color y se estรกn adaptando bien tanto a la malla como a los nuevos fertilizantes. Seguimos manteniendo la dosis de fertilizantes tanto en la gelato auto como en las sublimator y amnesia molotov y una vez se terminen de mostrar las flores, agregaremos un aditivo para adicional (a las feminizadas) para que potencien su volumen y sabor, que en este caso serรก PK Booster de BAC

Day 50 (22 of flowering ) flowering is really bloom ing now, iโm playing a little with lamp distance cause is a 100 watt non dimmerable so i hope to increase light to bud, they need now.
Now she really needs a lot of feed. I give 1 lt every2 days.
Day 51 (23 o flowering ), another 1 lt full.
Now sheโs eating 1 lt every 48 hours, and when she need it anyway. But she need ร lot more thรจme before.
Day 53 I had to supercrop this branch that was too close to the heat ventilation. I hope it will save the branch and increase maybe that bud.
Today another 1 lt of feeding, and I think that from the end of this week is going to need more.
Letโs go!
