Another week with 100 degree days and hazardous air. I'm noticing an explosion of new hairs. This is my second grow so I've never seen this. I'm assuming it's some final push but have no idea what to expect in swell. No idea how long it will last. As of Friday, pistals still white. Trichomes starting to cloud. I notice the new hairs having 8 new hairs at a time which means thry still have to grow into a clump of calyxes. Proper feeding is so important. My first crop didn't swell. Underfed and stressed environmentally near the end.

After a bad wk 4?where it was touch and go for a mo that see to have pulled thru touch wood

Week 20 8/11-17 For my outside ladies, Opium, Auto Opium, Fractal, and Lemon Cake not much changed. They continue lovin life outside. These ladies are maturing as many fans are yellowing and falling off. Temps are comfortable following Storm Debby, in the 80s with low humidity. Buds are fattening up, trichomes are minimal at this time but some fragrance is starting to be noticed. These ladies had a long vegetation phase. They germinated April 1 so I could get them hardened off before I went on vacay. They had basically 4 months of veg and the colas are already large, trichomes forming and with 2 more months to go, my expectations for these are heavy yields and sticky dense buds. Lemon Cake had her spa day and had heavy defoliation of her voluminous fan leaves. It took most of the day for my husband to trim. Oh, and there are so many feeder and sugar leaves remaining, She will be a b!tch to trim at harvest. . Thanks for the visits, likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending you good vibes of love, light, and healing 💫 💫Natrona 💫

re-transplant into same pot to lower the plant as it was stretching....also lowered light

Die Lemon Skunk befindet sich in der letzten Phase ihres Zyklus – Spülwoche und Erntevorbereitung. Die Blüten sind voll ausgereift, kompakt und stark mit Harz überzogen. Der Duft ist intensiv zitrusartig mit einer erdigen Basisnote – typisch Lemon Skunk. Die Trichomentwicklung ist jetzt im perfekten Erntefenster: rund 20 % bernsteinfarben, der Rest überwiegend milchig. Damit ist das gewünschte Gleichgewicht aus Potenz, Geschmack und Wirkung erreicht. In dieser Woche wurde das Spülen gestartet, um verbleibende Nährstoffreste auszuleiten. Das Semi-Hydro-System läuft weiterhin sauber, die Pumpe bleibt aktiv, sorgt aber nur noch für zirkulierendes, klares Wasser mit angepasstem pH-Wert. Die Pflanzen beginnen sichtbar, die letzten Reserven aus den Blättern zu ziehen – das Laub hellt sich auf und zeigt das typische Ende des Zyklus. Die Buds sind dicht, harzig und schwer, die Haupttriebe tragen ordentlich Gewicht. Alle Blüten sind gleichmäßig gereift, und das Terpenprofil entfaltet sich stark – süß, sauer, würzig. Zum Ende der Woche steht die Ernte an. Nach einer kurzen Dunkelphase werden die Pflanzen geerntet und langsam getrocknet, um Aroma und Wirkung zu maximieren. Fazit: Ein rundum erfolgreicher Run – das unfreiwillige Semi-Hydro-System hat sich als effiziente Lösung erwiesen. Gleichmäßiges Wachstum, starke Blütenstruktur und ein beeindruckendes Finish. Die Lemon Skunk zeigt ihr volles Potenzial: kompakt, harzig, aromatisch – ein würdiger Abschluss!

Week 5 flower : upped the a&b to 2.5ml litre and steered the pk at 1.2ml per litre Blue cheese : they have completely outgrown the sunset sherbet . I’ve raised the light as the buds at the back of the tent were literally 1” away it didn’t do much harm although the leaves on them buds started to curl a little so I thought best to raise it now before it causes any stress . I’m still watering everyday to run off . I removed a few fan leaves but I am considering doing a bigger defoliation in a few days as the fan leaves have taken over . They are really starting to smell very sweet and filling out .I was worried about these seeds as I have grown Buddha blue cheese about 10 years ago and now they have changed the name to blueberry cheese and I was told they will be different from 10 years ago . So far I don’t think so as they look the same and smell the same at this point I can’t see any difference which I’m happy about as I haven’t had any good blue cheese for many many years .although they smell the filter is definitely controlling the smell outside the tent . Sunset sherbet : although it hasn’t grow very big it’s very frosty and starting to smell . I will carry on the pk for another 3-7 days and will start the flush about 6 1/2 weeks in for 2 weeks with plain water I will also defoliate about in a few days

04/12: final week for these girls have harvested and hung and will likely take them down in 5 to 6 days - looking good large and they smell great. flushed for final week.

F21: on track . F23: Spotted a banner on DT1, freaked out and cut it down. Heartbreaking. F25: watered all plants with 15ml per gal tiger bloom.

Day 28 flower i didnt touch the plant this week shes also put in the 4x4 today under the se5000 with the rest of the plants

Exploding in size this week. She’s a hungry one

I have a new light with a bloom setting hopefully that will make a nice flowering. Got a new fan for air circulation. The new light has cooling fans. Haven't noticed any burns so im happy with my order. If you look at the last few pictures my tent is home made and cheap very cheap. The lights not an expensive one but I think its fine for now.

She is beautiful and the smell is wonderful!! I'll leave it a little longer for the colors to stand out even more!! Only 20 days left for the contest, hope that's enough 🙏

Seeds stared good after sitting in a glass of water overnight and placed directly in rock wool cubes in RDWC buckets. My 1000w MH HID is turned down to 600w and on a light rail mover about 24” above seedlings.

Rinçage de cette dame.

Day 45 - Mazar i Shariff x 2 are makin a comeback... lol one of the tanks dropped ph pretty fast and solution took on a tinted colour...... mmm.... might be water temp, tent temp went real high, first summer day, 30oC outside.... i'll have to watch tent/water temps closer..... goin to be hard doin this in summer.... might need more fans.... goin to have to adjust and play with the new tent and change of seasons...... mmm, more bubbles too, the containers are long... so i'll add a second air stone to each so the bubbles are thru out the whole container........ stagnate warm water...... prolly not good, lol need to cover root pots as well... 👍😎

10/2 They made it to their forever pots. Next Saturday we'll be hitting 2 months from sprout and as a whole its been a pleasure to grow these plants. They all are a very healthy green and seem to be happy. Temperatures in the region may have unexpectedly slowed them down (I grow in a basement) because temps have plummeted from around 78 with the lights on to as low as 71! I don't think they like it either. Growth has slowed with it. Never fear, space heater is here. Everything thing needs to be dialed in for the next few weeks because I want explosive growth over the next 21 days. Going to try a SST somewhere in there. Parsing through all this bro science isn't easy but it sure is fun to experiment. It allegedly gives you good root growth and provides crucial enzymes. Almost sounds too good to be true but I'm going to see how it goes regardless. I heard you can use I wide variety of seeds but alpha alpha is the only one I have on hand. Wish me luck. As for the plants: Moby= beast. I'd be a fool not to attempt to clone her. Vigorous grower and responds well to training. Not a demanding eater either, at least so far. Loving this freebie from NASC. Highly recommend them if you're in the northeast US looking for a local seed bank. GZ 1 = steady. Probably the biggest back slide if you want to call it that. Spotted some yellowing on lower leaves but they are shaded by this ones thick canopy. May not even be an issue but we keep an eye on it. Probably the biggest critic of the lowering temperatures because she's slowed down in the past 2 days. Gz2= trooper. She had a rougher upbringing and she's got a far different shape than the other two because of it. But with a little work I'm sure soon both GZ will be indistinguishable from one another. Banana daddy= forgot to take pics of her. Man have I been growing autoflowers all wrong. I may have fed this plant once. Though it should be noted that the soil I put her in was amended with alpha alpha, fish bone meal, and guano. She seems to really enjoy it so far. Not a single yellow leaf. Droopy at times though which is odd. Also some tacoing on new growth that ends up correcting itself as the leaf gets bigger. Double odd. Next time I do an auto run I'm definitely doing much less in terms of feeding and maintenance. Loving your plants too much can be deadly. Starting to figure them out though so I'm happy I did at least one. I'll post in a few days when I water my photos again.
