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.

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!๐Ÿ‘ˆ 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a couple of days. 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.๐Ÿ‘ 2/20: Day 31 of flower...they don't seem to be stretching any more, so they aren't a problem, but other plants have been. A semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches. Now I'm truly maxxed out... So far, this has been the most consistent of the FFT strains I'm growing. They actually "look" like sisters.. I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: They're both looking great..no complaints at all. 2/23: I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..๐Ÿ˜• I've reached the ceiling again with my lights, but these two plants wont be a problem. They're both budding up nicely now.

I've stopped giving them fertiliser and did a root flushing 4 days ago. They are looking good, smaller buds of what could have been with the correct equipment and dedication but I can't complain. I don't have a magnifying glass so I'm basing myself on the pistils to know when to harvest. I think I'll give them one more week but everyone is welcome to give me advice, would love to receive feedback from more experienced people.

I am still on holiday. My irrigation system seems to work. I can only show you a video from my Blink in the greenhouse, showing 24 hours from Friday to Saturday. Tropical Mirage is the cannabis plant in the front; she seems to be well. You can also see Euphoria in the back and right in front a giant basilicum hybrid and a Lila Luzi chili plant. Next sunday, I will be back with a more detailed report. Meanwhile, I am testing a few new strains in coffeeshops in Den Haag and Amsterdam :-).

Soooo. I'm gonna switch to plain ph'd water any day now. She looks so nice but trichs still not showing any signs of clouding as far as i can tell. So happy with this girl. Has been a breeze to grow and train and has taken any neglect or mismanagement on my part like a champ.

This baby was horribly stunted, but I decided to keep her alive and now it's covered in Crystals. May use it for consentrates.

D01 - 25/09 -> New Home for my fellows clones coming from one of biggest plant I ever saw: a Royal Queen Seeds Skunk XL D02 - 26/09 -> I think she has a little zinc deficency, so i dropped down to ph to 5.5 D03 - 27/09 -> Topped one girl to see what happens. If everything goes well, I'm going to topping all of them. Increased EC until 1.3 D04 - 28/09 -> Topping of other buds D05 - 29/09 -> Rest for the girls. Increased EC until 1.5 D06 - 30/09 -> SCROG Net Setup and a little of defolation. Tomorrow I'm going to cut all the branches below the red line (see picture). I want to make a main lining alongside the SCROG Net with 2-3 branches and cut off all the branches below except for the girl on the left that is too short yet. D07 - 01/10 -> I Cut off the branches of only one girl, waiting to see her reaction to the stress before to do the same to other girls. Increased EC until 1.8.

Week 3 Day 1: whew! I feel like we catching our stride! Last week was a battle with the numbers. The AC infinity Vegetative recipe had my devices all over the place (like my lights refused to come on and go off on schedule as they had been). Thennnn once I got the schedule together the humidity starting rising like a MFer! I think the rain last week contributed to it and of course itโ€™s summer so that doesnโ€™t help. I broke and got a dehumidifier on Facebook marketplace and now the humidity is under control, but the temps are up to 85 during the day sometimes! I opened two vents, so Iโ€™m hoping this balances it all out. Will start LST, and feeding later this week.. early next week! Week 3 Day 5: Well, well, well.. things are looking manageable and for that I am grateful. Humidity is still higher than desired.. humidifier is working.. but itโ€™s not pumping the water out into my drain hole. Iโ€™m on vacation for the weekend, and washed clothes before I left and it jumped up again. So Iโ€™m hoping it continues to drop, because we did notice some powdery mildew. We think itโ€™s due to the large number of plants in this 3x3 tent.. but we cut that off and spread them out and moved the fans and are hoping for the best. Plants have been topped and are ready to get started with low stress training and will be moved up to 5 gallon pots. Thatโ€™s all folks, signing off.. almost one month in! Big ole buds PS - Big shout out to Good Hope Hydroponics for supporting me all throughout my grow! I wouldnโ€™t have nearly as much confidence in the information Iโ€™ve got so far without them. Thanks as well for the Microbial Mass Pro!! We will figure out how we want to incorporate this into our grow for some testing soon!!

I still had some spots on leaves, but look like the calmag is doing the job. New leaves look better for now. It smell stronger, and plants are drinking a bit more now. Not sure, but i think no more than 3 weeks b4 harvesting HulkBerry 1 and the cookies gelato familly. Royal Bluematic 1 seems to take more time, but is growing well. HulkBerry 2 and mostly Royal Bluematic 2 are really late and weak compared to the others.

Another week! We are closer to the harvest but not much. It rained almost the full week and the majority of pistils turned brown. I could not water with my biobizz and bloombastic. Lucky hat I put coco on them.

SuperSativaSeedClub PurplePunchOG Auto Week7 What up everyone. Weekly update on these three ladies. Today they're a little upset with me as we had a power outage during the lights off cycle that turned the heater off bringing the Temps down to 45'f. But no worries by the time I checked over all the plants on the tent they where perking back up. They've transitioned into flower great and by the looks of it gone into overdrive on flower site production as pistols are everywhere. All in all Happy Growing

(Days 15-21) (Day 21) Everything is looking really good this week. I got my MH hooked up and dimmed to 250w. Plants are responding very well. Not a single sign of yellowing and plants are all a nice healthy green. I covered up the transparent solo cups with some newspaper as the roots are starting to pool around the bottom of the cups. Iโ€™m going to transplant everything into 2gal pots with my inoculated 50/50 coco blend sometime next week. There is a nice layer of mycorrhizal fungi starting to coat the surface now. Blackberry breath #1 is still looking oddly deformed still but I am concluding itโ€™s genetic. Going to be trying this โ€˜Boogie Brewโ€™ tea stuff in the next few days as well. Iโ€™m pretty sure the leaf discoloring I saw that one day was from using unstable RO water. I am making sure to stabilize all water with rain/snow/brita before watering. It seems to have cleared up in a just a few days of proper water. I didnโ€™t get around to getting a c02 canister this week but I will grab it at the same time I get those 2gal nursery pots. Iโ€™m shocked at how well the air pump is helping the bbb#2. It is always the perkiest plant in the tent and despite being a runt, itโ€™s already outpacing most of the others in terms of new growth. I guess air is an often overlooked factor when growing. Hopefully the coco blend will help get things a little more aerated when I transplant. Been thinking Iโ€™m going to just veg until they all show sex and then flip them. (Day 17) I gave my first pest/mold prevention spray today. I then raised the light all the way up to the top of the tent for a few hours. Plants responded well and no spots, burn ect. Iโ€™m also going to give my first top dressing today. Iโ€™m using my new organic dry amendments scratched into the surface of the solo cups with some added promix as a layer of mulch. I donโ€™t want to see any yellowing at all in veg this run. I fucked up hard last time so Iโ€™m going to make sure it doesnโ€™t happen again.
