Hello growers !! Another week here in cultivation. This past week I noticed that the flowers have grown new pistils, which means that it will take a few more weeks for the harvest. This week I acquired a microscope to see the trichomes and I saw that most are milky and transparent. I want to harvest with 30% amber, I believe 2 or 3 more weeks. In this final stretch the anxiety increases, but I am happy with the results and I will take it to the end to have the best smoke! 😜

03/01 - Day 57 All the girls have their pistils changing colors, buds growing by the day, (B) has has very sweet aromas coming out, & (C) is more earthy and peppery. Still losing some fan leaves here and there on (A) & (D) from the Cal/Mag & Phosphorus defiance but nothing like 2 weeks ago. 03/05 - Day 61 Enjoying the process and maintaining the environment. Buds on (B), (C), & (D) are starting to get heavy. Maybe some foxtails starting on (C)??

This week it seems like they are starting to flower or getting ready to. Day 42 and they are smelling great. I’m super excited to see the difference in plant A and plant B. The runt seems to be bouncing back. After I did some LST it really started to take off.

Día 108 (16/09) Tras el flush las plantas muestran tímidamente nuevos pistilos blancos! 😍 Hoy no es necesario regar! Día 109 (17/09) Me he encontrado a OnionOG #1 y a Purple Punsh completamente sedientas! Con las hojas caídas! Riego con 1,25 litros de H2O a cada una de ellas (el resto no necesitan riego) Día 110 (18/09) Riego con 500 ml H2O Las plantas con el bloqueo empiezan a mostrar nuevos pistilos, sobre todo en las partes inferiores Día 111 (19/09) Riego con 250 / 500 ml H2O Se vuelven a formar pistilos blancos en todas las plantas que han sufrido el bloqueo! 😍💥 OnionOG #1 va como un cohete formando y apilando flores 💪 🚀 😍 Día 112 (20/09) Día lluvioso. Riego ligero 250 ml H2O Día 113 (21/09) Otro día lluvioso. Riego ligero con 250 ml Día 114 (22/09) Detecto algunas moscas blancas apoderándose de las plantas y decido hacer una aplicación foliar de piretrinas (Spruzit a 15 ml / l) Riego con 1 Litro de Té Floración de Lurpe Solutions.

En esta semana vemos como se empieza. Aponer cada día un poquito más gordita y de cogollos compactos y de un olor frutal muy rico que invade todo el jardín es realmente fuerte

Ladys Gets bigger

Last couple of days... No watering from today, (Day 129) and the light will be switched off as well from tomorrow (Day 130) so I will harvest them approx on Day 132 or 133 on the 18th week :)

all good this week too, im maybe having some issues with the RH, lets see next days how it goes

For my second grow, I am OVER THE MOON!! I just yielded 16.1 ounces (wet trimmed) from a single lady in a small 23"x19" x 48" DIY tent. The strain; Mandarin Cookies v2 from Ethos Genetics, was very easy to manage and did not have any issues even in my small space. It was really difficult to determine the run time, it suggested 9 weeks from the breeder, I ended up going almost 13 weeks!! the trichomes stayed white

This is the week. I am watching the Tri's and looks like I should see some amber very soon. This will be a low yield but the bud quality will be very HIGH! The Jack's did well on just water and are very sticky. Harvest is near - Then it's off to Vegas Baby! Mid Week Check and due to my time frame I am going to harvest tomorrow evening -- I did harvest both tents. I must say the Green Crack is amazing. The buds are brilliant green, super dense & smell intense! The Jack Skellington's came out very well. The buds are fully developed, super sticky & very strong smell. The trichome's looked ready, mostly cloudy with sprinkles of orange - I can't wait to get these buds jarred up next week & get a final weigh in. I mostly look forward to some killer home grown bud! Super happy with the density of the buds from both tents. Grow Bud Yourself - Grow Bud Yourself ! ...

Day 21: A great week for these girls considering my nearly drowning them with a high res !!!. Aside my errors and the recovery , all been good. Wedding Cake has had an excellent stretch period giving her a really nice size to flower with. She didn't blink with the over filling as she was the top end and didn't suffer . Buds are forming up really nice on her all over and below the main canopy is just as full. She will get so.e lower small growth removed for air movement but as she is happy and vibrant I dont want to upset her now. lol The Ghost O.g did suffer a little with her main growing size but has put out some very tangible mains now. She has so.e very big fan leaves on her too. Gorilla Glue#4 had the worst of the drowning and her leaves are showing the signs of damage now. She is a good size and typically GG but I think recovery has slowed her down a little. Overall I am happy with their survival in such a hostile situation. good genetics . Be sane and safe Growmies.

Con 41 dias no seria bien bien la Séptima semana pero si es el primer dia de floración. ´Los primeros dias siguieron bajo 220W. Luego Subí a 300W y visto que hacia mucho calor preferí bajarlo a 150W. Fue una semana muy loca , temperaturas en el exterior hasta 40ºC y unas noches que no bajaban de los 28-29ºC. Una semana en la que terminé con el Bloom y el Silicio de Plagroon y volvi a Bloom y Silicio de TopCrop. Plagroon abonado cada riego, Top crop abonado una vez por semana.

This week we start in to the stretch....

~FastBuds Tropicana Cookies~ This was my first time running this FastBuds strain, along with my first attempt at 'hydroponic' growing using the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I cultivated three plants from seed to finish in just over 70 days growing in a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix coupled with a layer of straight Perlite in the bottom of the fabric pots to ensure drainage and fed Plagron nutrients for the entire run with the exception of a 10 day flush at the end. Among those three cultivars, I had three distinctly different phenotypes. The #1 plant grew short and extremely bushy, with beautiful thick purple flowers, showing more Indica like traits. The #2 plant, which was the only one of the three that was topped, stretched her 'legs' and grew fairly tall in comparison to the #1. She also lacked the deep purple coloration of the #1, having just hints of light lavender in her flowers which were stacked tightly and completely frosted over with glistening trichomes! Lastly, the #3 phenotype grew the tallest of the bunch with wide, 'Sativa-like', node spacing. She was the one that experienced several issues during the grow, but finished out not looking too bad with a super dark purple coloration to her flowers that almost appears black. That dark purple color, coupled with her dark orange pistils give her flowers extra eye appeal! FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto was a very easy to cultivate strain and produced really spectacular results all things considered. I'll definitely be looking forward to running this one again in a 100% organic grow and can't wait to the results from that! 😎👍 Now let me move on the the AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System from GrowAce. I was sponsored this system in return for my feedback on it shared through my Social Media accounts. On paper, this looks like a really great product, and I'm sure with enough time and experience you could get optimal results from using it, but for me that just was not the case. The initial setup went very smoothly, GrowAce's AirCube System looks to be extremely well made, comes with fairly clear instructions, and went together easily. I did add hose clamps to all the fittings attached to hoses for an extra measure of insurance against leaks (no one needs 20+gallons flooding the grow room!) and also placed the reservoir and 'brain bucket' outside of my 4x4 which allowed me to place all six AirCube pots in the tent, and yes it ended up being a bit too tight for me... it probably would work better with 3 plants or less in a 4x4. So lets get in to my pluses and minuses in my opinion for the GrowAce AirCube Active Oxygen Ebb/Flow System: Positives: • Well made • Easy to assemble • Easy to understand instructions and lots of 'how to' media available • Easily expandable Negatives: • Not for novices, previous hydroponic growing experience needed • No way to control solution temperature in reservoir • Roots growing out of the fabric pots end up dying and rotting which results in a ton of debris in the solution necessitating draining/cleaning/refilling the system every 4-5 days • No way to adjust nutrient levels for individual plants, they all get the same PPM like it or not. • Requires having all plants start together, and finish together as there is no way to flush individual plants. • Lastly, I like to turn my plants, which is impossible and also to photograph them which is difficult with this setup. All in all, I enjoyed the experience of 'hydro' growing, but am ready to get back to what I really LOVE to do which is 100% organic grows... Stay tuned fam!

The 2 GSC extreme and one of the GG4 got harvested this morning Dec 20th. The rest are a week or two behind.

Alles entwickelt sich prächtig. De Geruch ist sehr süß und blaubeerig. Der Trichombesatz ist sehr dicht und teilweise sind diese schon milchig bzw. bernsteinfarben. Die flowering time ist vom breeder mit 60 Tagen angegeben, dass kommt auch sehr gut hin. Heute ist Tag 48 in der Blütephase, Tag 90 insgesamt. Ich habe den Ablüfter aus dem Zelt geholt und dieser liegt jetzt oben auf dem Zelt. Dadurch habe ich mehr Platz nach oben. Die Sanlight habe ich etwas höher gestellt, dadurch kriegen die Headbuds etwas weniger PPFD ab, was letztendlich auch besser ist. Derzeitige Parameter: Sanlight Stufe 8 / 1060 PPFD / DLI 45 mittig gemessen 1-2 Headbuds bekommen noch etwas mehr ab, dadurch leichtes foxtailing von diesen VPD 1,6 / 50% RLF / 26 Grad Dünger nach Biobizz Schema

Lower leaves died and so I needed to defoliate plants grew quite a bit in this stage and preflowering shows they are girls temp dropped outside finally and so dehumidifier is constantly running. With a nice 78 degrees 50 rh

Six week has started.
