🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿 Hey Grow Fam, We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold! The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :) But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone. To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! ( If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem) Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing 🌱🌿

Grow is coming along nicely. Only providing Calmag and KoolBloom. Colas are getting bigger, but crowding is becoming an issue. pH in root zone has been slowly decreasing. Adjusted nutrient pH a little higher to compensate. Only a few more weeks to go. 😎

Sie haben es mir nicht so stark übel genommen mit dem Licht und wachsen weiter. Die Lampe hab ich mit dem runter setzen der Zeit etwas stärker laufen lassen. So bekommt die Pflanzen in der Theorie ähnlich viel Energie wie davor bei 18/6

Welcome to the Smoking Tiki's hut! For this grow, I'm using some of the seeds I won at the Summer Buds contest from last year. I kept the seeds in my fridge door during one year. It worked very well because all the seeds successfully germinated after 48h! 😎 I used 3x3 seeds. I selected 2x3 seeds with the bigger root to put them in some pots. I will let them grow a bit and then select the 3 best plants to make it until the harvest. It's the first time I grow some Fast Buds under a light and in a controlled environement, I'm really curious to see how it turns out! My set-up: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Mars Hydro TSW2000 (300W). - Tristar fan (30W) - Greenmigo dehumidifier (155W). - Compo Sana universal soil (2x40l) - Timer - Weather station + pH meter Have a nice journey through my grow diary!

Warning beast of a plant lol My Northern Lights #10 plant is an absolute beast! It's the biggest in the tent, growing incredibly strong. Even the second-deck buds are developing with amazing vigor. This plant is a true powerhouse, and I can't wait to see the massive yield it produces. It's got that classic Northern Lights aroma – earthy and sweet with a hint of pine. This one's gonna be a winner! This past week has been a whirlwind of work, leaving little time for anything else. My phone's camera roll is sadly neglected, with only a few snapshots to show for it. But finally, I'm finding a moment to catch up on my grow diaries. It's been exciting to see the progress, even if it's just through photos. I'm looking forward to documenting the next stage!

What's up, Gromies? It's been a journey watching this beauty grow, and we're just about ready to kick off the flowering phase in the next 1-2 weeks. Get ready for some serious bloom action! 👌🏻 Day 14: Keeping the momentum rollin' with the light at 25%, hitting 420 PPFD from a cozy 50cm distance, maintaining that solid DLI of 32 over a full 24 hours. Hydrated with 300ml of pH 6.5 water, plus a mix of power root and terra grow to keep the roots happy. Day 15: Steppin' up the game with the light at 25%, now hittin' 470 PPFD from just 30cm away, bumpin' up the DLI to 40 over 24 hours. Same hydration routine, 300ml of pH 6.5 water with power root and terra grow. Day 16: Keepin' it consistent, light still at 25% with 470 PPFD from 30cm, rockin' that DLI of 40 over 24 hours. Watered 'em with 300ml of pH 6.5 goodness, along with power root and terra grow. Day 17: Time to crank it up a notch! Light's now at 50%, hittin' a hefty 850 PPFD from that 30cm distance, with a DLI of 50 over 20 hours. Gave 'em a double dose of hydration, 2x 300ml of pH 6.5 water, along with power root, terra grow, and a touch of pure zym for that extra boost. Day 18: Let 'em chill today, no watering needed, just letting them soak up that light and grow! Day 19: Back at it with the light at 25%, now hitting 610 PPFD from 30cm, maintaining that DLI of 50 over a full 24 hours. Gave 'em a good drink with 400ml of pH 6.5 water, plus the usual power root, terra grow, and pure zym combo. Day 20: Steppin' it up again, light's now at 50% with 800 PPFD from 30cm, rockin' that 24-hour cycle. Hydrated 'em with 2x 500ml of pH 6.5 water, plus the whole shebang power of PLAGRON root, terra grow, and pure zym. Can't wait to see what the next few days bring. Stay tuned for more updates, and keep those vibes high! 🌿✨ Day 14. Light 25% 420 PPFD 50cm Distance DLI 32 24hrs.On 300ml water pH 6.5 + power root + terra grow Day 15.

Week 12 of Gelato 41 by seedstockers, Just look at that growth😂 Shes been loving the rain it looks like 😍 Showing no pest issues... showing no nutrition issues either. Her colour is beautiful 😍 Letting her soak up all that rain water from the pot. Probably wont water for 7days to see how she does. Have Still been morning spraying them when its not pouring with rain. Also topped her on a branches they i felt like needed it.

Привет друзья! Как смог спас растние, уж очень я их люблю и рука не поднимается выкинуть. Первый раз покормил на стадии начала цветении. Вчера ещё раз покормил. Шишки ещё набирают массу. Растение маленькое и явно с нарушением генетик, но я полюбил эту малышку. Как и обещал покажу в конце еще одно растние этого сорта. Тоже маленькое но очень красивое! Всем мира, добра и хорошей генетики!

This week, my cannabis plant is showing some signs of thirst. Unfortunately, I had to cut back on watering due to a small infestation of fungus gnats. To combat the problem, I decided to apply nematodes. Hopefully, they will take care of the larvae in the soil. Despite the reduced watering, the plant still looks strong and healthy overall. The buds are continuing to develop nicely.🌱🌱 I'm really curious to see how things progress in the coming weeks, especially now that the pest issue is being addressed.💚 Be excited for the coming weeks 💚🌱🌱

9/29/21 - We are marking today the first day of veg. That Mars Hydro TSW 2000 is doing a great job at 50% power. The plants all look great today! 9/30/21 - They look good. We are giving them water with no nutrients for this week so they will transplant nicely. 10/1/21 - They look great! I’ve been misting them in the morning. Soil is still wet from the transplant watering. We are waiting on fans and a scrog net. 10/2/21 - They are looking very good today. We mist them daily, sometimes twice a day. 10/3/21 - All plants look great! We stopped misting them for now. They look over watered a tad. We know it’s early but we started LST on a couple of the taller ones. 10/4/21 - Looking good! Just cruising along at 50% power, watering when dry. I know they won’t be low maintenance in a couple weeks when they are bushes. 10/5/21 - They look great! The ladies in the back are doing some LST still since they are much taller. It’s safe to say the roots are expanding and the plants overall are growing.

Welcome to week 5 of flower! Things are moving along and where gaining mass on the flowers daily! With some of the plants starting to fade into a nice purple in their leaves I can only imagine at the end in 4-5 weeks! With every passing day I get more and more excited by the characteristics on the plants! Huge shout outs to @MarsHydroLED for making outstanding gear for growers to use and enjoy! HUGE shout outs to @Seedsman , @PyramidSeeds and @GreenHouseSeedCo for making outstanding genetics that pump great medicine! Huge shout outs to all my followers and people who stop in to the diary to check it out alike! Keep inspiring to grow! Follow along and stay tuned this shows getting juicier by the day! -The Projexx Day#29F Pictures N/A. Ladies are starting to focus on bulking more or less now. Day#30F Pictures N/A. Fade on Kings Juice#2 is starting to really come in now. Day#31F Some of the pistols are starting to turn orange now. Still lots of time left on the cycle. Day#32F Pictures N/A. Fuel D.og 1 and 2 are starting to pump some mass now! Day#33F Fuel D.og#2 is still yellow but she's not getting worse or better, it may be something I can't control as I can't come up with any solutions to the issue. Installed the first net. May install another. Day#34F Pictures N/A. Flowers are thickening up and starting to give off their scent really well now. Day#35F Pictures N/A. Cleaned up the bottoms of the plants abit more as well as took away some leaves blocking light to flower sites. Recap: Things went well this week the ladies are pumping trichomes and weight won't be long till we see some real thick flowers. Over all really pleased with this run so far!

The Plants are vigorous and the growth is currently slow but steady. I’ll up my light power and give them a good watering to hopefully push them on.

Added yellow sticky fly traps to all cubes as a preventative measure to avoid infestation of fungus gnats. So far none have been spotted. Defoliated and did a little more LST to all the plants to open up the center and give more light to lower shoots. Blue Dream 3 and Chemdawg 3 started showing some discoloration on the leaves (yellowing around the veins) and also the leaf tips curling down. Did some research and came up with this... Possible diagnosis: - Yellowing around leaf veins could be a sign of Magnesium or Iron deficiency - Leaf tip curling down could be a sign of Nitrogen Toxicity. - Both could be caused by improper ph balance in water Possible solutions: - Applied Botanicare CalMag+ as a foliar feed and added some to the reservoir. CalMag+ contains Calcium, Magnesium and Iron. - Diluted nutrients in reservoir to lower amount of nitrogen being fed to plants. Was feeding them at 1300ppm, lowered it to 1050ppm - Tested runoff and saw it was coming out at 5.4pH so I increased the pH in the reservoir to 6.0. Now the runnoff is testing at 5.7pH, meaning that my rootzone is in the optimal range of 5.5-5.8 Well wait and see how the plants react to these slight tweaks. Hopefully we start to see a nice healthy even green again.

Well it's been an awesome week :) Plants have responded way better than expected to both LST & fimming, I've got a good canopy and plenty of potential colas that are growing well and at an even level. Also, won £200 on a scratchy, so decided to invest in a better light. Went from 300w LED (true draw 130w) to 1800w LED (true draw 595w). The difference in the light is clear to see. Both plants have motored through initial training with LST and fimming without skipping a beat. I've read so many mixed opinions on topping / fimming autos, it was a hard decision to make. In the end, I decided to give it a try and find out for myself. If I'd had any concerns about the plants ability to cope, I wouldn't have done it, but if your plant is looking strong and healthy then it may be something to think about. Personally, I think there is no right or wrong, because it's probably entirely situational - too many variables like strain, genetics, environment, growing medium, lights etc to say one way or the other really. But for this grow right here? I think it was a good decision I'm extremely happy with the results. Scrog net now in place, and both girls are starting to boogy on upwards. No sign of pre-flower yet, I'm hoping they grow into the net before they start stretching too hard. Also, some weird findings from my runoff EC since I got the new light. Runoff EC has always been about 50-75 micro siemens above input. It was predictable as hell. But when the new light was installed, the runoff EC started to drop to about +25 from input... then the same as input..... and now my runoff EC is LOWER than input. Thought it might just be an anomoly, but it has now been consistently lower, every feed for the last 3 days. I'm going to post a question, but if anyone has any bright ideas wtf is up with that, let me know!! In the mean time, to all my fellow Orange Sherbet growers - hope you all have had a good week, and may your plants be flourishing.

She grew fast in this stage! Didn't really smell . I tied down the lower branches to the 5 gallon pot. Also, added the AC Infinity humidifier. Added a half serving of CAL-MAG to a half gallon of water and poured water in soil. Normally i never water it due to the olla cup system keeping the plant perfectly watered below soil
