These ladies are really stretching this week. I should see the stretch slow down in the next couple of days. Looks like bud production is just starting. I reduced the amount of nitrogen in my feed and will continue over the next few weeks.

Week 8 of flower 9/27/24 Stopped giving T.A. FinalPart after a week because plant showed sings of nutrient burn. Started watering with only water to leech out nutrients from the media to get the plant to cannibalize itself. Hand watering ones a day at the beginning of the light schedule. You can see in the video, one of the colas and the area near it got heavily burned from excessive nutrient salts in the media, I attribute it to the 3 days I watered the plant without runoff in mid flower. A couple more days and it is time to chop :)

4/26 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS. WOW. They've exploded in growth in after watering. I came to a plant that was a little limp as it got bigger top heavy. I weighed the cup and it seemed to be in range. I just mounded up soil around it and "spritzed" the soil I just added (as it was dry as fuck. That worked for the other one and it's doing great now. Im wondering if this plant is drinking less water than the rest of the plants. I think I may have given it slightly less water due to its weight. Either over or underwatering (it would HAVE to be underwatering) OR the taproot might be caught in that jiffy pellet net. That was my only thought. I didn't do a very good job of ripping thos nets at transplant and with these little amounts of water I could see it taking longer to degrade. I'm waiting until morningvto check on it. Girls are taking off! UPDATE: Went back over at 3pm and everything was even bigger. The one plant that was drooping that I added soil too is doing fine. I weighed a dry cup of soil then weighed that plant and it was within 40 grams. I think everything's good. I was going to slow the water down on that one but I'll check tomm when I water. 4/27 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SHOT GLASS. Everything is exploding in growth. I filled in some more soil on my 10th planet cups. They are growing very fast. I have one purple punch that seems to be growing at a much slower pace. It may get culled or given away if it doesn't pull out. I have an idea it probably has something to do with the netting on the jiffy pots not degrading or something because I'm giving so little water. I'll start nutes once they get bigger (at half dose). That piece of seed is still stuck to the stalk of the plant that is behind in growth. I sprayed it and I'll keep an eye on it. I don't want to damage the stalk if I can help it. UPDATE: Went back over at seven and everything looked great. I don't know how but it seems they get significantly bigger I'm a matter of 12 hours. I think I'm going into 3's with these next. I'm picking up the soil for that tomorrow. I'll wait a little bit before I give them anything. Even silica. If it's not broke don't fix it. 4/28 Plants are exploding in growth. The other one I thought might be dampening is completely fine. I'm going to hold off on nutes. I'm unsure whether to transplant to 1's or 3's. I'm leaning towards 3's but I want them good and rooted before a transplant. I asked my buddy amd he said to hold off on the silica, or other nutes. Frogs got plenty especially since I'm only wateringva shot glass every other. I can tell they're goingvto need more soon. Grabbing soil today but won't be wins plants until I cam squeeze the cup and feel it full of roots. Next time clear cups in solo cups 4/29 WATERED EVERYTHING WITH A SOLO CUP BUT THE LITTLE PLANT. That plant has a piece of seed stuck to the stalk and I was wondering if that could be tge problem. After no results spraying for several days I attempted to remove it. Plant fell side ways. I propped it up but I'm probably gonna cull this one soon. I think roots may be caught in jiffy net. Everything elsecis FLOURISHING! Grabbing soil fircthe next transplant Monday. I just want to make sure everything is rooted REAL GOOD before any transplant occurs. 4/30 Holy Shit!! Plants literally grew at least an inch overnight after watering! Things are going great. One purple punch seedling is behind but that's ok. It will either catch up or it won't. I poisoned the inside of the cage where thecearwigs were and applied a 12 month barrier spray on the wood. Hopfully this will solve my earwig problem. Man I'm getting excited! I don't have HUGE clones but I've got GREAT GENETICS and no pests! I'll take it 5/1 It's been raining for days. I wasn't going to water today after my conversation with a friend but I DID water each plant but the small purple punch with a shot glass. They have taken off at an incredible pace. It's like they're growing inches in a day. Planning on grabbing soil and the remaining pots I need. Also need to take everything out of grow cage, sterilize bags and move the cage itself. 5/2 Plants are growing at an incredible pace. Even the little purple punch that was stunted is standing up all on its own looking strong. Zoom in on the stalks. They're thick af. Must be the HPS light lol. Oh well they'll be going in 3 gallon pots in a week or so. And then to their forever home. Man I love growing weed.

Day 63 Fiona handled the defoliation really well so I LSTd her one (last?) time. I think the intense stretching is over and from now on all that will grow are her many (!) flower sites 🌸 First pistels showing and you can already smell her. Day 66 Fed her 2l with half the recommended dose of nutes. She is so happy with life right now, she started praying 🙏😍 She is not growing in size anymore so the daily LST sessions are over. Day 67 Just when I thought Fiona couldn‘t make me any prouder, I found a calyx that seems to indicate she is going to develop the red/purple optics promised for 60% of the strain‘s plants 🤞

Jan 15th - soil tests tonight / photos tonight 17th - soil ph is a tad over; 7.2 -7.3 - dinner served at a pH of 6.2 - dinner tonight; 1.5L pH’d water ran through plant first, then fed 3L nutes/water posted above. This flow caused some Run-off, but not enough to properly measure EC value -near max on the tds, but it was the thickest dinner yet. (including molasses) follow-up tonight. 20th - Allowing the soil to dry an xtra day - brewing a compost tea for tomorrow’s dinner. (black willie as well) Then back on schedule - Running 2 Aerated-Teas, staggered between heavy nutrient meals, I hope it nourishes the soil enough that we see a flourish of activity next week… - first tea with bat guano… Resting the banana lol Jan 21, - last day of the week… finally the tent to themselves. Congo & Mystic are gone - tea tonight

ok so its been about another 2-3 weeks flowering is going well ive added 2 top feeds of down to earth flower and rose mix 3 tbsp to each the auto and the veg 2tbs to mother clones and an a half feed few days back. cuts this round were signifcantly stronger, and longer. Well for the Gorilla Zkittlez, the Og is very slow in the vegative and i took 3, fairly larger clones, a bit too large for the propagation dome so they're cramped.I soaked the rapid rooting pods in a light compost tea to experiment ( ideas from youtube). Planted a total of 7 more seeds due to unsuccessful cloning and desire to explore variety, 'tis the spice of life, 1 x Auto colorado cookies 1 x og kush 3 x amherst sour diesel 3 x skywalker ghost (emerald seeds) new dairy coming from them after a solid week or 2 of steady growth

Week 11of flower...I got a new 70 pint dehumidifier and that fixed all my humidity issues instantly! I dont see any mold or mildew, so I think I dodged a bullet. I let the girls stay in the dwindling nutrient solution for an extra two days, until Tuesday night. I swapped out with flawless finish and uc roots for the flush. They probably could have had another 5 days or so and got a few more amber heads. I'm Chopping Saturday morning. They smell amazing, a lemony strawberry diesel.

6 out of 8 plants in pre-flowering, i replaced my humidifier with the dehumidifier, very present smell when I open the tent, a little early like my last crop. ⚠️ Day 26: Green gelato is hermaphrodite, destruction of the Green gelato, burial of a northern light.

Day 27 of 12/12 Day 16 Flower Ppfd 950-1050. S44-Ionboard Ppfd 650. S11-Ionboard lightbars EC 2.0 PH 6.0 I finally caught this diary up to the current date. I apologize for my previous entries that were all done last night and kind of vague and all over the place. Today I'm doing a mild defoliation to open up the canopy and get some life pumped into these lower bud sites. She's still stretching some which I'm all for at this point although I have a few colas reaching for the sky that need dialed back a little. I'll most likely just LST them to the net if I can find spots to pull from. Defoliation is a nightmare currently. I need some kind of mission impossible harness to hang above the canopy and save my lower back lol. I ordered and installed the s11 Ionbeam led bars from AC Infinity. I currently have them in my lower canopy just below my scrog net to help her along a bit. The first night I installed them they didn't sync up with my controller 69 and she had a night light for 12 hours. Pisses me off because I should have peeked in to make sure it shut off with the main board. So later on today I'll play around with the setting between the 2 controllers and get this UIS set right. This is a prime example of jumping the gun and letting the excitement of new gear get me doing shit hastily. These bars are weak and have to be placed within inches of the canopy and then will only cover a small area efficiently. I will most likely remove em from the lower canopy and suspend them over the colas on the edges. Not sure what I was expecting from 11" light bars. Maybe I'll add them to my seedling/clone racks.

I'll leave it like this for awhile eventually the arms will all go upwards towards the light along with the main cola to make and even canopy.

Check out my blue dream by fast buds I'f you havent :) Update on day 24/25 mid week she been blowing up lately nice size fan leaves going be a nice indica dom for sure :) bent over just like Colorado cookies:) again all ppms had be bumped up close to thousand bitches are hungry this round:)

This is a project by a friend and me :) He has no experience with it but a garden and I have a lot of experience and no garden :) His 80 year old grandfather prepared the earth for us and I have to say I have never seen such perfect earth. The plants have never shown any deficiency and have consistently performed well. Unfortunately we had to harvest 2-4 weeks early because the weather is too humid and there is a lot of concern about mold. One is currently still in the ground but will be harvested in the next few days. That was great fun!! A big thanks to my buddy and his grandfather ♡ I will grow the strain again in the future as I was very happy with the performance!!

This week I did a single topping at the 5th node. Along with this I applied low stress training and tucking to expose the new growth.

Good morning, today is officially say one of flower, I flipped last Saturday so these girls took their time transitioning. Took a full 8 days as just this morning I noticed just a few pistils, I don’t count the transition as flowering days. As usual I continued my every other watering of fish shit rotated with silica and they are still getting a full gallon each girl per watering. I’m trying something new since the organic nutes take time to work in, rather than top dressing every 4 weeks as Gaia suggests I’m doing half doses hi weekly so last week they got 3 tbsp of all purpose and 2 of power bloom. In two weeks they will probably get the same then the one after that all power bloom . They stretched a lot the first week as you can see in the time lapse so I’ll clean them up again in a week or two after the stretch is over eliminating and branches that don’t keep up to the top canopy and I’ll probably keep the top 5 nodes of each top depending on structure after the stretch. Thanks for reading and see ya next week

Another solid week! I decided not to do a "hard" LST with these two.... I'll do some to open them up a bit but I'm going to let another grow go more naturally! They both grew a lot this week.... Chloe is 10 inches tall and Sofie is 8 inches tall... I watered them twice this week with 1.5 cups of water each time... I'll be moving them into the 4X4 flowering tent during this next week... I'm about to sow 2 Fast Buds Bruce Banner seeds... This will be the third and last grow in the start of my perpetual garden... State law dictates only 6 plants at a time... Anyways, on to another great week... cheers!!
