Yooo what’s up! Today marks Day 2 of Week 5 in flower and maaaan, things are coming along perfectly. The aromas right now are on a whole different level – every time I open the tent it’s like getting hit with a wave of dank fruity funk. Buds are stacking up beautifully, trichomes are starting to glisten, and the structure is lookin' solid. Only thing I’m wishin' I did different is spreading her out a bit more or doing a bit of defoliation earlier. She’s packed in and some of those lowers aren't getting all the love they could be. But hey – lesson learned for next run: don’t get greedy with the amount of tops! Quality over quantity, always. Gonna aim for a cleaner canopy next time, fewer but fatter colas. For now, I’m keeping the feed around 1000 PPMs, just to keep things steady without overdoing it. She seems happy, leaves are praying, and everything’s right on track. Let’s gooo! 💨🌱🔥

Die neue Woche im Growzelt fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie ein Besuch bei einem übermotivierten Fitnessstudio-Neuling: alles wächst, alles drängt nach vorne, und niemand kennt sein Limit. Der Permanent Marker steht da wie eine gedrungene Schönheit mit breiten Indica-Blättern, so gesund, dass man fast ein schlechtes Gewissen bekommt, überhaupt eine Schere in die Hand zu nehmen. Triebe überall, kräftig, ehrgeizig, alle mit dem festen Vorsatz, der Main Character zu sein. Die Auswahl, wer bleiben darf, gleicht eher einer Castingshow als Gartenarbeit, denn eigentlich hätte jeder eine Runde weiter verdient. Der Nodienabstand ist so kurz, dass man zweimal hinschauen muss, um überhaupt zu sehen, wo ein Abschnitt endet und der nächste beginnt, was das Ganze nicht gerade einfacher macht. Die Pflanze verträgt Dünger, als wäre es ein Energy-Drink, und quittiert jede Gabe mit noch mehr Wachstum, sehr erfreulich, aber auch leicht beunruhigend, wenn man Richtung Zeltdecke schielt. SCROG rückt damit endgültig vom netten Plan zur absoluten Notwendigkeit auf. Ein Trieb hat sich im Eifer des Gefechts verabschiedet (RIP, kleiner Held), wurde aber stoisch weggesteckt. Die verbleibenden Kandidaten haben die frei gewordene Energie dankend übernommen. Insgesamt bleibt das Gefühl: alles läuft hervorragend, vielleicht sogar zu hervorragend. Wenn das so weitergeht, wird nicht die Frage sein, ob der Permanent Marker performt, sondern ob das Zelt am Ende groß genug für seinen Ehrgeiz ist. Was sagt ihr zu unserem Permanent Marker?

8/10 Week 4 and she is ... well better Gave a one time of Recharge and Fish Shit she likes that stuff. Raised her light another inch see if it helps. Nuets as is PM feeding gave 1ml Kangaroots just to see if we can get her going 8/11 She is building so count that as a win hit 4" with a new node Keeping the light a bit higher for now 8/12 Moved the lights to 30" just looking for a veg sweet spot Seems hitting her roots is paying off will give another dose of kangaroots tonight 8/13 Looking good so increased nuets to 10 and 10 of cocotek A&B Good vertical growth still debating topping 8/14 Well she has three days to bulk up then we flip the lights. 8/15 We have decided to let her grow naturally, topping now would stress right as we flip, not a great idea so she is what she is as we do not want to stress this girl any further. Increased nuets to 12ml/gal each of cocotek AB, drinking more now Pic tonight Flipping in 2... 8/16 Good growth over night Flipping in 1...

Eccoci alla fine!!!! Pianta dedicata al maestro Franco ❤️ Ottima resina, ottima forma, ottima genrtica!!! Super consigliata a tutti, odore molto forte di limone sembra il sapone per lavare i piatti “lava” Ora giù con le prossime!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🔥🌲

Hello. This is the end of week 9 and the beginning of week 10 of veg. Got them outside and repotted. They look much happier... Look at the last pictures to see they have grown a few inches in a few days. I put a heat sink in this year. 8 - 5 gallon containers were put under the table and are supposed to trap the heat and release it slowly. You can see the white containers behind the plants under the middle of the table. I'll take them out when it gets warmer at night. The soil is 5 gallons of SunShine Mix #4 ( 70% Moss) and 5 gallons of compost from my household composter. I mixed them together. I surrounded the root ball with the SunShine Mix neutral ph soil, so the root ball doesn't get burnt by the hot soil. The roots will grow into the mixed soil when they are ready. Lots of light in there with the new window film I've installed. Plants have a tangy smell to them. OK. Be Great. Chuck.

what a great strain! great yield and incredible scent! it grew very large buds, due to bad weather and high RH i sadly lost a few of the biggest buds, but still got an awesome yield

Hola con esta semana ya quedamos al dia con el seguimiento ya que estaba atrasado en el tiempo. Se nota una producción de resina notable en esta genética que nos ha gustado mucho por su olor y estructura de las plantas . hemos creado un video por cada una de las 14 plantas del seguimiento, hay varias muy llamativas que están "pre-seleccionadas" para mantener a futuro, el olor que se llega a sentir es muy florar y dulce, si tienen alguna pregunta no duden en preguntar saludos. Hello with this week we are already up to date with the follow-up since I was late in time. There is a remarkable resin production in this genetics that we liked a lot for its smell and structure of plants. We have created a video for each of the 14 floors of the follow-up, there are several very striking that are "pre-selected" to keep in the future, the smell you get to feel is very flowery and sweet, if you have any questions do not hesitate to Ask greetings.

Day 169. Visited my friends garden and his Royal Cookies + RQS RC looks amazing, stil packing , despite cold air in UK. My forest Hermie project goes to the end, hopefully next Wednesday and Thursday I will chop them down. Happy Growing !

Hi people I hope your all well. I have all cloudy from what I can see so far with slight few Amber's coming through sugar leafs.What you suggest for harvest? she is currently 56 days in roughly but is clean as tried as tried a small nug I dried days ago from lowers which seemed very smooth too smoke and as for the stone not bad at all. Flushed 1.5 weeks but as she was going too be a bonsai which got a little too bushy she is very short! I ended up chopping excess branches and left her too flower shot with her normal sister. Please note only 1 for the chop (maybe) the first 2 images and videos ✌️ the next few pics are her sister who I reckon a few days atleast or a week away 💚 suggestions welcome but be nice lol peace ✌️

Great smell and I hope it keeps its candy smell love this pant kinda of airy but look like it gonna be great smoke cutting down three of them

my precious !

Diese Woche war ich fünf Tage im Urlaub. In dieser Zeit musste Blumat seine Zuverlässigkeit beweisen. Das klappte problemlos – wie erwartet. Ist das System einmal richtig eingestellt, läuft es zuverlässig – solange der Tank regelmäßig nachgefüllt wird. Die Pflanze hat sich diese Woche um 16 cm gestreckt. Ich rechne noch mit etwas weiterem Stretch, aber nicht mehr viel. Insgesamt dürfte die Streckung am Ende bei etwa 100 % liegen. Die Blütenansätze haben sich diese Woche sehr gut entwickelt. Lollipopping an Tag 21 ist dennoch sinnvoll, denn schon jetzt sind viele Triebe zu sehen, die später nur kleine Popcorn-Buds bilden würden. Diese Woche wurde es deutlich wärmer, mit Spitzenwerten von 30 C° im Grow Room. Im Zelt stieg die Temperatur während einer Lichtphase entsprechend auf bis zu 32 C°. Die Pflanze hat das gut verkraftet. Da es in unserer Region bisher nicht geregnet hat, ist die Luftfeuchtigkeit noch niedrig. Mit den ersten Gewittern und Regenschauern dürfte sich das jedoch schnell ändern. Die Parameter in Woche 8: Controller Einstellung Tag: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit 24C°-26C°, 45% - 55% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit 24C°-26C°, 45% - 55% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 30,4C° Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 27,4C° Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 53,1% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 54,3% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,6 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,3 Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit in Mbar: 114 LED Leistung: 40% = 120 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 12 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 2 oszillierend

Week 11 (26-8 to 1-9) 26-8 Temps: 20.5 to 26.1 degrees Humidity: 50% to 56% 27-8 Temps: 20.7 to 27.3 degrees Humidity: 50% to 56% Watering: Both 1500 ml. (Only Calcium) EC: 0.4 PH: 5.6 Dry Weight: Both 2.7 kg. 28-8 Temps: 21.5 to 28 degrees Humidity: 51% to 56% 29-8 Temps: 23.3 to 27.4 degrees Humidity: 55% to 62% 30-8 Temps: 19.9 to 27.7 degrees Humidity: 50% to 60% 31-8 Temps: 20.2 to 26.6 degrees Humidity: 50% to 55% 1-9 Temps: 21.1 to 29.1 degrees Humidity: 49% to 55% Watering: Both 1000 ml. EC: 1.4 PH: 5.6 Dry Weight: Both 2.4 kg. Recalibrated my PH pen and it was only 0.1 off, so i dont think the leaf problems are PH related.

The weeks go by, the buds get thicker… at least once a week I have to defoliate to let the light pass through. I'm curious to see the final harvest, I can't quantify a possible yield… This will determine how to set up the next cycle. A new tenant has joined our friends

Day 37: The girls have fully recovered from the nute-burn and they seem to grow fine, but a little slow. I am getting use to this slow-growth, and hope I will soon have learned enough to make no mistakes, and get a "normal" grow

OK, im doing an update now becouse my breakup cake is going tranny!!(hermie) I already have noiticed she was not growing as strong .. but u can blame that on anything , especially when growing outdoor.. but this morning i saw that she was g(r)oing 'bananas'!😢 I have put her aside from the rest (in the back of garden) but think gonna have to terminate her asap!..(and i will, right after this post👍) The weed she will give will be filled with seeds and those seeds will be hermies too, so wothless.. and if i dont throw her away quick she can infect the rest. So goodbye breakup cake..😢 who wants to eat a cake when they are breaking up anyway..😒 (just hiding my pain with lame humour 😳) happy growing for all ✊

Week 9: So it feels like this could actually be week 10 as I've been flushing this one early girl....She's a beauty and I'm flawless finish flushing. Gonna go with a few more doses b4 we harvest but she's ready. My other I've been Overdriving with Nirvana, Mike's OG, Bud Candy and Bud Factor X. Going into week 9 with strong finish on these other girls. The Buds are hand ✋️ sized and I got like 8 huge branches on each plant so already thinking about what my harvest is gonna be like when done. Also thinking alot about curing and my cure set-up. So basically gonna have buds curing all through the winter. The next grow should be done by Christmas so 2024 Bud will cure through election season and I'll be ready... Day? What's a day?: So @ this point my girls are women now and I'm already on to tha next!!! Actually maybe one more over drive session for a few but just letting these ladies kindo of just hang out by the pool. Taking lights down last hour of the grow to spray with a Grease, Golden Goddess mix so when light go to 6 they can feed through the leaves. Same thing in the morning. Spray and let them go on that dimmer light for a few then back to bright. I'm like the towel boy @ a pool of lovely ladies all asking me to spray oil on their backs. I'm getting huge buds and just kind of overwhelmed by all the work. There is alot of "love/hate/labor" in growing "Top Shelf" and I'm to the point in my grow where I'm think about of all things, "More nutrients" and where I can get the best bang for my buck. Went through my B2 like huh but only a 250ml bottle. The Grease gone. I thinking that or Canna. I few other nutrients running low but not low enough to stop this next grow, The Christmas Grow. Fast Flower, not Auto but Fast Flower. Growing 420 FB's line-up!!! That's like 6 strains so excited about that. Other than that spending thinking about the clean up of my tent and the floor spacing for the next grow. Woke up and started cutting of one of my ladies. Took three huge bud limbs, cut and trimmed b4 putting them in a paper bag to dry. My fingers smell like I've been "finger banging" the ladies. Almost out of weed and closing down the whole re-up operation. It's been fun dealers but bout ta give up my spot! Sunday..middle week 9...so one of my girls was officially retired 2day. Cut her and am goinging paper bag dry. Flushed her for a week and soil was almost dry enough but could of let her sit @ least til end of week grow schedule but said fuck it My other girls had their last or next to last feeding depending on how this particular feed goes. I did a couple of different things regarding nutrients. I dosed them well in honor of the one missing. Water and fed with care making sure that this last or next to last Overdrive shot gets me extra extra large buds. Almost start of week 10: Bout ready to flush these girls and get set up for the next grow. Watching a particular plant though that is not an A/F and pretty fuck'n amazed by it's size. 4 of these would fill my tent easily but zap my nutrients so waiting to see how these girls smoke b4 deciding what direction my next grow will go. Got one plant drying though and should be ready for the jars in another 8 or nine days. They are very sticky and big so excited about the next few weeks. This whole curing thing is gonna be fun and looking to try some stuff....fruit peels in a jar and flavorful terpene's Up early to get this grow flushed and finished. Since it's the start of Week 10 going into FDC mode on all these girls and get em out of this tent and into dry mode. Really proud of my first grow and hoping to harvest and cure goes smoothly. Some of my nutrient are low but looking @ the girls seems like they took the feedings very Stargate 2023: Somewhere in between flush and dry but picked up some cardboard boxes along with 5 cases of water. 2 cases maybe to finish flush and 3 to start the Xmas grow. I got my first girl in paper bags but am switching to hang drying. Started flushing all but one. Gave her some OD but will join the rest in flush in a few more days.(needs more density). Think I'm going 3 maybe 4 more flush feedings but after that gonna give em another week b4 the deed. Experimenting with flushing b4 the cut to see how far a can take these!! What ever week what ever day: So my first girl down and drying.... I mean it looked like she was moving faster than the rest so I flushed a week and chopped. This seems rushed and it is just a bit. So by having one plant ahead of the rest F.D.C. on this gives me an opportunity to figure out how I'm gonna fdc the others. So once my bud dries will cure for about a week and test. Other girls will be still flushing. I used alot of nutrients in this 1st grow and want to make sure my buds don't taste like shit and smoke smoothly. Been spraying my girls an hour b4 lights on with Golden Godess. Ran out of Grease a week ago but still confident my plants are loving the GG. So thinking about the next grow and how to deal with this photo...this mf is gonna be a doozy so considering giving it to a fellow grower I talk with sometimes. Gonna need the space and a light cycle in unisoness with my fresh girls in this Xmas grow. A big bitch in the corner bullying my babies and stealing they light aint happening. She might have to go outdoors...(Johnny Lee Hookerish) Not really worried though cause if I put her on the stroll, she'll get chose no doubt. Next grow in less than 2 weeks so be on the look-out for a new diary. This grow is giving me so much information and style. I'm a writer and writing/documenting this grow is a form of therapy. My career is an algorithm; I'm pretty good @ my job; I genuinely love all with the exceptions of a few. What was written is coming to pass. The earth will be aight, the people on it...there was a song made back in tha day called "Self Destruction" we headed that way So mixed that song with a few Burning Spear songs followed by some E.L.T G.B.A and here we are!!!!! So I've been drying in paper bags one plant and setting up for cure. The others are in flush so have have starting cutting leave. Got all my plants nice and manicured during the flush so that i can go straight to dry but found a few stems that actually dried from the last defoliation and found a couple of branches I had cut due to being small. I crumbled a bit and put it in my blunt.😁 with some D weed that pretty good. Yeah it smokes really good and I can notice and taste the flavor in that portion smoked.....Can't wait to cure cause if i can smoke on this one plant while curing these others propper. Say 20-30 days I think my T's are gonna shine but definitely noticing the nutrient quality difference in the smoke. Awgh man I think I this is gonna change everything!!!

Nothing to see here ;)

8/10 Monday. 12:05AM FULL RETARD MODE ACTIVATED 8/10 MOnday - looking good needs water will ask Grok: For your Fast Buds autos (RF3s + Mendo Frost) at roughly week 5 in coco, target an incoming EC of about 1.2–1.6 mS/cm (roughly 600–800 ppm on the 500 scale). 8/11 4:30am 550 PPFD is solid for where those plants appear to be. Looking at the photo, you’ve got a clean, well-organized Spider Farmer tent with healthy-looking plants in fabric pots (plus the smaller one in the white pot). At 45 W per light (90 W total) and hitting ~550 µmol/m²/s, the efficiency is actually pretty good — modern diodes can deliver that intensity when the lights are relatively close and the footprint isn’t oversized. Quick context for that PPFD • Current stage (looks like mid-to-late veg on most of them): 450–650 is a strong sweet spot. You’re right in the middle. • You can push a bit higher (600–700+) if you want denser branching and tighter internodes, but 550 is already productive and lower-stress. • Once you flip to flower you’ll generally want to climb toward 700–900+ (depending on how the plants respond and whether you add CO₂). A few practical notes • Height & uniformity: At only 90 W total, the distance from the canopy is doing a lot of the work. If the outer edges or lower plants are noticeably dimmer, you may need a slight height adjustment or to rotate pots so everything stays even. • Heat: 76 °F and 48 % RH is comfortable. With only 90 W you’re not fighting heat. • Dimming headroom. The plants look happy — good color, no obvious light stress or stretch. You’re in a good place. If you want to share the exact model of the lights or the tent size, I can give more specific height/PPFD targets. 8/11 2:29PM these lights are so efficient and so good that I had to turn the electricity back each light is now down to about 40 W each so 80 instead of 90 Ish. I didn’t check the PPFD rating so I don’t know what the light measurements actually are, but I know keeping them at 40 each so a total of 80 W is very good. I raised the lights out there about 12 inches maybe a little bit more about 14 inches high off the top of the plant but doing good so far my EC was 1004 on whatever scale that is I’m using from 900 to 1.2 is what was recommended for EC. 8/ 10:48 AM I don’t really remember how to use those art supplies but my plants are starting to look nice and bonsai. One of them will be shaped like a snake. It’s gonna look really good and self supporting. The other ones are pretty good. These are gonna be a nice decorative grow. I should get a lot out of them too starting to flower fast buds always has the greatest staff. I mean there their plants are always the best. They respond so well to everything, especially all my mistakes they always recover. 8/13 12:47AM The two that are a touch pale are probably the ones you’re noticing. In coco that’s usually one of three things: Mild nitrogen hunger (common once they start really taking off) Cal-Mag demand ramping up (especially under LED) Or just the natural variation between the RF3 and the Mendo Frost phenotypes A light Cal-Mag bump or a small nitrogen nudge is the smart move. Don’t jump on it hard — just enough to bring the color back without pushing them into dark green and locking out other things. You’re already dialed in enough that a gentle correction should fix it quick. 👻👽 Your light setup is the real story though. Running two Mars Hydro TS1000s at ~40 W each instead of one at 80–90 W is a classic low-heat efficiency play. Same total photons, way better distribution, and almost zero heat load. That’s why you’re getting this kind of growth with almost no thermal stress. The plants are loving the gentle, even intensity. Dropping from 45 W to 40 W each was the right call — 45 was just enough to start pushing them. 👻👽

Hello everybody, currently on week 6, 5 more to go. Preflowers starting to show up , i changed the light from 65w cold (6000k) to 105w warm (2700k) , the led panel still the same. The side branches are starting to catch up with the main one. Im a little afraid i might have to bend the to. Its getting pretty close to the panel, currently 10cm away. Thanks again , tips and comments are more than welcome.
