This week has gone well, had a bunch of stuff typed out and closed my browser by mistake and now this is #2 attempt to post this week. Easy week for the plants, they have being growing well and I am impressed by the size of them. I added in some potassium silicate to introduce some Si into this grow. I decided to top them as they where starting to grow their 4th node, snipped that tip off and we're golden. They are kinda smelly if you rub them and that's fun too, Some of the hot peppers have also popped up and started growing. I still don't have anything on the Naga Morich pepper that I am hoping for. I have a feeling that as the seeds I got from these peppers where from a dehydrated pepper, they might be duds nuked from the dry heat of the dehydrator. I do have 4 vials of hot pepper seeds where the label has fallen off, I found the labels but no idea what one goes on what bottle. One out of the four bottles is Naga Morich, Having some none dehydrated seeds in my possession is one step closer to getting more of this hottie. I also found a fly out of no where, Its little wing is damaged and it more or less hops and glides unsuccessfully vs fly's but I took some videos of it. I also seen a few fungus gnats, little fuckers where not in my apartment before I am convinced their eggs survive in the stuff I buy then come out of it. Kinda annoying. PLUS I borrowed a light meter from my hydro shop, I was expecting it to be a LUX meter and that I would have to do a bunch of conversions but it was not, it was a legit Quantum Par Sensor, detecting in PPF "Photosynthetic Photon Flux" or umols/s, with these readings I can calculate my PPFD "PPF+Density" I have mapped out my tents floor into a colour coded grid of dots and mapped out the PPF at varying heights and dims. However I did not do it right and need to redo this. But once this is done I will have a functioning PPFD map with relation to my tent. This will help me tone in DLI and get it aorund a solid 35-40. Will be gearing up for a transplant next week. I try and post on Fridays but don't always get around to it. I take the pics on that date though and then try and remember what I was going to write about that week. PS Gorilla Tent Accessory's suck shit. The SCROG nets pic has the gorilla 2x4 SCROG net "black" and the Secret Jardin 2x4 SCROG net "white" beside it. massive difference in quality and size. I should have known when they state on the label its for 2x2 or 2x4, that's not even possible. Also tried out the nutrient line that's part of the gorilla tent company, Lotus, I ran it one year and it was just trash, did not work, had issues since first week and they would not correct. Buddy reached out to me and said same thing happened to him and he disliked the brand. Big shoutout to Medic Grow for sponsoring the lighting in my tent, They have provided me with 2x Mini Sun 2's in the 240w configuration, They use the v1 growing spectrum that is a all purpose seed to harvest spectrum so their is no hassle of switching it mid grow.

3/14: Came back from a 4 day vacation to a lot of dry, wilted, dead leaves on Amnesia. Trainwreck is super starved as well. My automatic watering system didn't kick on, and the humidifier ran out of water within 24 hours, so there's that. It may be for the better though, as the PH of the nutrients had risen to 7.5. I tossed that mix, and made another 2 gallons of half strength nutes, molasses and epsom salt. I watered them both to runoff, and now I'll wait for Amnesia to prioritize which leaves she thinks are worth saving, and then I'll defoliate the dead ones. Hopefully trainwreck will just bounce back to green. She needed to be defoliated anyway, so this situation makes it easier for me to find the dead leaves. Edit: Came back to feed the last of the nutes and decided to pluck the crispy goners. I found that pulling the leaf stem downward will make the most dead leaves fall right off, allowing me to test a majority of the leaves and give Amnesia a major haircut. Luckily I left a lot of leaves from prior defoliation, as Amnesia REALLY sucked them dry. 3/15: Amnesia looks no worse for wear than last night. Trainwreck as well. Went ahead and pulled as many dead leaves off Trainwreck as I could. Some leaves were a mix of crispy brown and healthy green, which I think is pretty goofy, so I avoided taking any green fans but removed the crispy ones. The colors of the leaves around the buds are really fun to look at. 3/16: Amnesia is starting to SHED her dead leaves, allowing me to pick the leaves with almost no effort. I tested as many leaves as I could, giving another haircut. I would say this isn't a good thing, but since it's my first grow, I'm rolling with it. As long as Amnesia keeps the buds and its nearest leaves alive, it will slowly grow, albeit stunted. I'm not sure if this condition will cause it to finish sooner, but I'm going to need to watch the trichomes under a microscope every couple of days just in case she's ready for harvest. Trainwreck looks about the same as it did before. No new leaves are ready to be removed there yet. 3/19: Amnesia is still shedding leaves, but also bulking up. Trainwreck is slowly bulking up, and turning purple as well! Going to keep an eye on Amnesia's trichomes. Edit: because amnesia is yellowing so much, and because it's been 5 days, I'm going to feed both plants a quarter strength nutrient mix just in case I've been overfeeding them somehow.

hi guys, so situation: i guess we are 2 week from the cut, if the weather keep this sunny and warm September. update on the plant: first of all I'm pretty disappointed of the size of the colas, very very small, not nearly as thick as I would imagined. Since I've been growing a lot of autos recently I had more big colas with them than with this fem, just disappointing. so now the problem is: why are the colas not that dense? yes, I had a problem with K (deficiency) at the start of flowering, but was in early stages, and i quickly added K to the solution. my guesses: -I used product of the line biobizz, the try pack, and I think they were just not good enough for a feminized plant, because the pH was right all the time so i don't think it was a block. -didn't topped my plant, I know its a way to enhance the production, but I was curious to see the normal growth of the plant. -grown in pot, maybe wrong pot? too hot in the summer? -wrong substrate? (I mixed three different types, adding compost and manure, beside perlite and vermiculite of course) -bad climate/genetics? (this year was heavy hot but a lot of rainy days too, often in spring) the quality seems fine, nice smell and very sticky on the hand but very very small buds :( the last week an invasion of borer, I hate those fuckers, it's impossibile to control them, as soon as I stopped the foliar application of neem/aloe they arrived, really annoying.

Pfff, explicaros que estas green ak xL son una variedad bastante difícil de cultivar, los cambios ambientales le sientan fatal, y hay que tener cuidado con la alimentación ya que se Sobrefertiliza fácilmente así que ojo, eso por un lado. Por otro si eres un cultivador con varios años de experiencia y todo te sale bien, es probarla, porque el sabor de esta cepa compensa la dificultad de su cultivo. Thc hasta 18% , sativa predominante. Genéticas: Afghan x Colombian x Mexican x Thai Landrades.

Monday Gave her a good dose of sugar Royal, and a bit PK and pure zym, touch of alg a mic, all looks good, buds are filling out nicely 😀 Tuesday Small feeding today, heavy on the PK 13/14 I'm fighting the humidity but it's manageable so far Wednesday Got a very small pruning, I don't want to touch it too much plus i only have a 60cm × 60cm tent its hard to work in it and this is a big f##king plant, to be honest I didn't think it would get this big but its my first grow! I've read that's it's not good to prune autoflowers too much but this things getting pretty dense so I cleared out the bottom a bit for air flow. Buds are really swelling now, and I think they are turning blueish purple?! I can see it on all the big colas and they are starting to get sticky! Thursday No feeding/watering today, I'm starting a flush as of now, today is a dry day for the plant so fresh water only from tomorrow on. Today all I have to do is look at it, and she's beautiful! Smell is really picking up inside the tent, carbon filter is earning his keep now, super good those rhinos and I only have the hobby one! Friday Gave her a hard flush today, it took a LOT of water! Just clean water from now on, it think I'm well within 2 weeks of cutting so fingers crossed it keeps going Saturday Absolutely no work done on it today, its a waiting game now and I think I'm going to win soon! Sunday I decided to take a chance and discard some of the small lower branches, I think I should have trimmed a lot more off much sooner, however my inexperience with a scrog net coupled with the small size of the tent and how big the thing grew its become impossible to move it out of the tent and its very difficult to get into the back of it to lollipop it! 🤣 next one will be much better, this is still going to be a big yield I suspect but lots of smaller popcorn nugs will make up most of the weight, there's still about 3 dozen nice colas tho that will hopefully bulk up more, any feedback and tips would be appreciated!

Hey Growmies, no major developments other then her continued swelling and ripening. Luckily I don’t have neighbors, as she has a very pungent fruity smell to her, the buds are out of this world, something i have so far only been able to achieve with Barney’s genetics. She was very thirsty this week, finishing around 5l daily. Coming week I will initiate the flush with some cannazym and ph balanced RO water.

Really happy about last week. They got very little first pre flowers, but I don't think they will be really flowering this fast. They gained a little height and the smell increased a little bit.

On day ten I did my first feeding at half dosage and lowered the lights from 21inches to 18, ladies responded really well. Notice growth by the next morning. On day day twelve I did second feed which went well. Did my third feed on day thirteen, which did not go well, 5 hours after feeding I notice leafs were cured up, I brought the lights up to 21 inches and fixed the problem. Light burn. Day fifteen I tried LST which did not go well since this was my first time doing this. Day 16 ladies where back to normal so I did Fimming and see how that works out for me. Wish me luck.
