I really feel like I am learning SO MUCH with this grow, heaps of things I could improve on next time. 😺 Day 28 - I fed her a 420ppm nutrient solution, and as I was watering her a fair bit got on her leaves. I shook it off her but a few drops on her lower fan leaves were stuck. So I grabbed the droplets with my finger and smeared them into the leaf. Big mistake, next day the leaves were all burnt! 😡😲 The upper fan leaves that I didn't touch were fine, the leaf tips were fine also. Day 30 - Plant really looking happy now, growing nicely and stretching up towards the light. The 4th set of fan leaves still 3 pronged (has grown cotyledons, then true leaves with 1, 3, 3 and 3 prongs). The 5th set of fan leaves is now visible as a bud in the center, and I can see that this set has 5 prongs. So was likely the stress that made the first sets of leaves 3 pronged. Day 30 - I really want the plant to be BUSHY to take advantage of this small light and surround it, so I decided to try FIMMING today! The middle bud was at the perfect age for this so took the opportunity, I hope she can handle it. Happy to sacrifice a bit of yield to get more buds closer to the light for a more consistent quality. If you think that yield is more important and I shouldn't do this, here is a fact for you, over the last 5 years I have gone through about 30g of bud with me and one friend, we have some about once a month or two. So yeah I don't care about yield just quality 👌. Day 34 - Female preflower showing! Shit this means she will be into bloom soon, and still so far behind where I wanted her. Researched on the interwebs and found that I could still have a good 2 weeks of fast vegetative growth at this point. I realised my last feed was only 1/3 strength fertilizer. Time to feed her a decent meal, GO STRONG OR GO HOME! I fed her 5L of pH 5.9, ppm = 775 - with 20ml of Canna Rapid combined A&B

Plants have taken well this week to the extra nutrients I added. Rhizotonic, cannazym and Boost accelerator. Ppm has increased and we are one step closer to finished product. Stems have thickened up and has grown about 10-12 inches in one week. I feel that LST worked wonders on these plants. And will always do it on every grow I ever do. There are about 10-12 Bud sites with the main one on top the biggest of the bunch. I replaced the HPS with a Spider farmer LED 1000w. I have another LED arriving tomorrow to help cover more area. This is my favourite hobby out of anything else I do. I have thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way. Weeks 3 and 5 so far are my favourite, that being the size increase in week 3 to 4 and then the flowering stage to where we are now. I defoliated a lot of these plants to deal with high humidity and to bring that down to 45-50% and for it to focus on thickening the buds up. Which it seems to be doing Here’s to next week 🍻

It is finishing its fifth week of flowering, every time I am convinced of its quality genetics👽, it is a very healthy variety🙏 it copes well with stress and bad weather⚡☁️☀️, it has a sweet orange smell🍊it is very sticky🍯, I hope it will show its colorful genetics 💜

I've been feeding just water and allowing them to dry right back , I will harvest once the soil is dry again .

Both completed flowering in 60 days, reaching around 15-20 % Amber in Trichomes. One thing to notice was the trichome structure. First time seeing such long trichomes and so crowded. GreenHouse feeded one only received wated in the last 2 weeks. She has produced much more than the Advanced Nutrient feeded one due to several reasons like my mistakes, pot sizes, different phenos etc. Both produced amazingly smelling frosty buds. Visually, both are top notch for me. * GreenHouse feeded one developed some fox tails in the last week.

The plants still look a little hungary , but with the temperature outside dropping it has been down to 19.5 highs in the tent. So rather than adding my 500w heater , I have thrown in a Easygrow 100w led QB with Samsung H leds. I have given them a KNF foliar feed and bio enhancer yesterday, I'm hoping more heat and light will get them feeding well again.

D43. The first day in the third week of flower, everything is great in the tent. She looks terrific and smell fantastic. There seems to be something with CBD plants that makes them smell outstanding. ------------------------------ D45. There's nothing to report, really. She is quietly doing her thing, and there isn't much for me to do at this point. The mushroom kit seems to have just died after harvest, and today, I noticed some mold and removed it immediately. It was a fun experiment that didn't work out as I'd hoped. Oh, well :) ------------------------------ D47. Zzzzzzzz... flower is so dull as there's nothing to do but wait. ------------------------------ D49. There's not much to report at the end of the second week of flower. Yesterday, the entire tent was without power, so there was no light or exhaust for five hours. Ugh! Fortunately, I was making some compost tea and discovered the lack of power when watering. I gave the girl 2.5 liters of compost tea and humic acid @ pH 6.6. ------------------------------

81 day - 3 days until harvest.

Hi everyone, last week was hell... there were a lot of deficiencies going on the plants luckily the nutrients I was waiting for were finally delivered, and after feeding the girls with them just one time I can tell they work just as well as the groundswell soil I'm using from Mother Earth, now my concern for this week is if I should do the next watering with nutrients or pH'd water with calmag or just pH'd water? Also I noticed that I have 2 followers now!! I hope I get more than one female plant so it's not a disappointment... once again thanks for your support and knowledge! Update week 6 2.0 Well everything went to shit... I think I overstressed most of the plants or maybe I'm suffering of an unbelievable bad luck because after finding one male and one female and following you guys advice I started to check the other plants only to find out that all of them have similar traits to the male one (the one from my grow question), so up to now I'm standing with just one female a bunch of potential males and two little plants that were to little (because I had them in smaller pots al this time) to actually show any preflowers... so now I changed them into bigger pots and hopefully they'll come out as females!! Wish me luck 🙏

11/21/24 Short facts: - Watered: 1 x 0.75L, 1 x 0.75L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.75L — 4.75L - VPD @ 1.4 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 70% ~700 to 850 PPFD - Getting colder! At night between 18 to 19°C - Heat mats are warming the roots - Harvestet on Sunday 12/01 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I only watered the Lemon Cherry Cookies during her last week and harvested her on Sunday, 12/01. I was quite impressed by how thick her buds turned out. And there were even more buds buried in the clover! 😂 I’ll update the report with the final harvest details in about two to three weeks so you’ll know how much she yielded. I’ll also add some additional thoughts and critique about my grow, including the mistakes I made.

I started germination of 1 Strawberry lemonade bean on 29/12/2020. I pre moistened my rockwool cubes with ph balanced water to 6.4. Made sure the plug was just damp and not soaked. Using a small wooden dowel I increased the size of the plugs pre made hole. Than I sowed my bean into the hole. Ripped off a small piece of rockwool and mulched it up. Lightly filled the hole in with the mulched rockwool. Than stuck the plug into a misted humidity dome, to complete germination. Shouldn't take anymore than 4-5 days to see a sprout. Once I see some cotlydon leaves bursting to the surface. I will get the plug planted into some 1 gallon pots. Plus get this lady situated into her home. Cant wait! Some background information on my experience with Strawberry lemonade. Ive only grown this variety out once. In a 1 gallon SOG grow where she faired ok. I could tell she really wanted to explode and branch out. But a restricted root mass just would not allow for it. She had some of the sweetest tasting flowers that came with a strong potent kick. Really looking forward to giving her a larger container and see what she can do when shes let loose.

D15. Week three, and slowly things are starting to happen. She is stretching out and getting wider, and her root development looks good. I increased the DLI to 22 and plan to raise it further over the week. ------------------------------ D16. Transplanted, added worms, and watered with 1 liter of water @ pH 6.4, with one teaspoon of myco/kelp mixed in. ------------------------------ D18. Yesterday, a few of her leaves were drooping but have sprung back. (Maybe a tiny transplant shock or slight overwatering after the transplant...?) In any case, she is now growing along and looking healthy. I increased the DLI to 24 yesterday and 26 today. She doesn't need any more water yet, but I will continue to hand water until her roots have developed enough to drink from the reservoir. ------------------------------ D21. End of the third week, and all is well in the tent. She loves her new home, although I've spotted yellow tips on two new leaves and burnt tips on a couple of old leaves, so it seems that this super-soil might be a bit "hot." I'm being a bit unfair since I had to use a magnifier to spot the burnt tips. That's how minor the damage is. I increased DLI to 30, and still, no water was needed. ------------------------------

5/29 plants are healthy. 6/2 they've definitely been stretching this week. Pistils have shown and the calyx of plant #2 are already showing definite purple. Its obvious even with how little of it showing. #2 was the first to show sex and progression of transitioning. Plant #1 has shown sex but only on half of her node? Plant #3 is still the tallest, with the most stretching happening. She's a lighter green than the rest and she hasn't quit shown a full pistil yet

End of Week 7 CO2 is definitely increasing growth rates but also changes the game with controlling your environment now that it has to be sealed in order to not waste CO2 unnecessarily. You change one thing and it adds many other variables to keep everything in check. I am learning everyday and that's why I grow. The trellis net is doing its job and the canopy is looking nice and even. I also added a soil top-up and top dress of some BioBloom and Mycorhizae so it can start breaking down before I flip to flower next week (Slow release dry organic amendments). And the ladies are using up nutrients in the soil much faster because of the added CO2 (another variable to take into consideration - faster growth = faster nutrient consumption) In detail: -Carefully removed trellis netting -Ammended each plant individually with my soil mixture and nutrients -Placed them back in the tent -Reinstalled trellis netting and trained the ladies to shape Pest Report: Thrips VS Ladybugs... I decided to fight fire with fire - I purchased Swirski-Mites from Koppert (They are beneficial insects that feed on the eggs and larvae of thrips and other unwanted pests). As for the adult thrips - I got very lucky and found about 10 Ladybugs in my garden and decided to introduce them into my grow room as they will feed on adult thrips and any other unwanted pests. I did not spray any insecticide this week and it really seems like the ladies are happy with my new method of bio-warfare and are wilting less and less often

January 11.2021 Helloooo everybaaaady. Well, another solid week of packin on mass! I'm getting excited for these gals to be done already! Lots of smell coming from the tent when the light is off. :) Been fairly easy so far, I was going to feed them tonight but I think I can push it a day or so until then.. i'm lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzy. I seriously am in love with the #marshydro ts1000 it's amazing. I am wanting to upgrade my tent also to mars hydro, just trying to decide which size! Hope ya'll have had a good week, stay safe and keep it sleeezy. 👽

In this first cycle published on the site, I did the ScrOG technique for the first time, and honestly I am quite happy with the final result😊 The plants performed very well both in vegetation and in the flowering phase.👌 The only "anomaly" was a beautiful flower affected by fasciation (called "Stewie" by me😄) I hope you enjoyed this diary and that it will be useful for you in the future!😎

Bene amici growers come potete vedere la fioritura procede senza molti problemi. Ho innaffiato le piante per la prima volta con una soluzione adatta alla fioritura e ora staremo a vedere come pian piano cominceranno a gonfiarsi i nostri amati fiori. Le piante iniziano ad emanare un profumo inebriante, le Durban posion stanno già assumendo un colore violaceo mentre le critical sembrano un po' più in dietro. Vi ringrazio anticipatamente nel caso lasciate un like!!
