Day 45 in flower... Trichomes are about 80% milk and no amber... The paint and big Z are 7-9 weekers and orange cake is 9-10... Def few weeks on the orange cake... But getting close to how I like it on the other two... The smells are outta this world... Orange cake smells like orange cake... Very orange like it's nuts... Never smelt anything like it tbh... The paint is a different pheno than previous ones because there's usually a chemical skunk smell but this is a fruity pebble smell with layers of earth smell and a sticky presence that doesn't go away for a long time lol... The big Z is another sweet smelling but more along the smell of a mouth full of Skittles and that dirt earth smell aftertones... They're awesome and I'm really excited! Day 46 They fattened up over night! Coming to n end... I did find little clusters of amber trichomes on the paint and I can't find many clear on the big Z... So it's right where I want it!

11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!๐Ÿ˜ 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119gย (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -ย  92gย (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 -ย 112gย (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -ย  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!๐Ÿ˜

In dieser Woche hat die Pflanze das komplette Zelt ordentlich ausgefรผllt und hat sich auch ganz gut gestreckt. Am Ende der Woche habe ich ihr ein bischen die Beine rasiert um eine bessere Luftzirkulation zu gewรคhrleisten. Einen schluck Bio PK 5-8 hat sie an dem Tag auch noch bekommen.

Pineapple in the Parlour! End of week 5 for these two beauties. I've fed them twice with the same feed as week 4 but both times supplemented 1ml per litre with Canna Nitrogen and 0.5 of BioGreen Calgel. They've responded perfectly changing to a luscious deep green colour and nearly doubled in size! I'm putting this down to many factors but have to give some credit to my new Ecotechnics Unis Co2 doser. It took a few days for the plants to respond but they have had a great burst of growth in the last 72 hours. At the beginning of the week I struggled with some environmental issues and these plants looked lacking in calcium but you wouldn't know if you looked at them today. Both beautiful and green! I'm hoping that by next week they will start showing signs of flower as I'm training them to go under a scrog and dont actually want them to get too big. The reason for this is because i have 2 Six Shooter in the tent also and want to give them enough space to show me just how good a strain they are. Ahhh But...... afterall this is my competition grow and I want these Pinapple to flourish and yeild the best they can. Hence why I'm investing heavily in my environment. As well as the Co2 I've also added an additional 300w LED into the tent. Its actually the light I used to veg these plants but I have ordered a new light for my veg box and I'm not about having lights sat around ๐Ÿ˜ Fingers crossed these girls make the flip at some point this week. P Update: Day 39 added a few more photos of these beautiful Pinapple! I think FastBuds should have named them Amazon Express because this canopy is thick!!!! I think they are just showing their first signs of flower which is great so I may do a little bit of defoliation tomorrow or Saturday. Some of the biggest fan leaves are the size of my hand and taking up a lot of that valuable canopy light. As these are going under the net I'm just constantly tucking them under as they grow a couple of inches per day. Everything going really well with this grow I'm really optimistic.

Alright lads ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป so weโ€™re starting week 2 today - the girls are all having there own individual issues the joys or running multiple strains again ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป, but weโ€™re all looking really wellz so left side is looking a bit N def hungry still so Iโ€™ve upped the bio grow to 2ml and the right side is still showing sheโ€™s still got some nutes left from repot as shes good Iโ€™ve just left that to 1ml bio grow. All the clones are looking nice lush green, all starting to take shape now๐Ÿ•บ wait another 2 weeks until I start to flower them.. and see which of my keepers are as clones then take cutz off them before flowering my actual clones tent, keep the cutz in a separate tent and start popping more seeds of this next round. Either ripper seeds new limited edition or lit seeds canโ€™t decide..๐Ÿ˜…, anyways gang cheers for stopping by until next week and we can see some bud formation happing ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป Update - end of week 2 of flowering - Iโ€™ve given them all a fair defoliation and taken a lot of lowers of to start focusing it on them tops. Still looking a bit pale lack of N but we should be okay if it seems keep progressing al just up feed to 2ml per litre. Other than that itโ€™s going fairly smooth.

She is getting bigger and fatter. Her 6 main colas are shaping up beautifully. They're getting massive! The heat is bad and she is suffering. All her upper fan leaves are dying. We've gota a couple of weeks to go, so we'll see how it goes....

A couple of problems arose with my two newest grows so I thoroughly checked the compost pot and looked if the worms were okay. After harvesting the GDP, I wanted to throw out her soil. It had been used two runs and I have no place to reuse it outside. Did my best and sifted through the dirt looking for her worms. Found only six ๐Ÿ˜”. Four adults and two adolescents who were just getting their red color in. This was not a good sign. The worms were obviously not reproducing enough to keep up a colony, and that was most likely due to the soil ph. Don't have the instrument to measure it, but as my ph meter was broke the past two weeks.... ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… Time to check in on the Vermicompost and see if they are still 'grinding'. ----------------------------------- April 17 Last picture I have of her soil structure. ----------------------------------- April 23 Took that thing apart!! It must have took 3 hours to sift through all the soil, rip up bark coco and what not. sift out the worms and keep them moist, but it was finished. I don't know how many worms there are but it's a good handful. About the same amount I put in there in the beginning. There were also perhaps 20 or so eggs that caught my eye. These are good signs! After the manhandled soil was put into an other pot, I drowned her with 12L of dechlorinated tapwater (thanks to Envi Chlorine Clear!!). BioDown to 6.3 ph + 0.2g/L Microbes. I don't know how many liters of water ran off, but that soil is definitely at 6.3 now... .. and the sewage pipes might be clogged ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‚ Let the pot set to dry, at a tilt. Changed position every 5 minutes or so, about 2 hours long. Hopefully all the excess water is out! Introduced the Army of Wiggles to their new accommodations and said good night. There are probably still remnants of BioBizz nutrients in the soil, and I'm too lazy to flush again. Won't start her on the new microbial food until I'm sure the Living take hold of this environment. Coming from a possible 7.5 down to 6.3ph might be an adjustment. I'll check the topsoil in a week or so and see how the Living are getting along. ----------------------------------- Thanks for stopping by ๐Ÿ‘Š See you with the next update!

Week 6 of flower - again, I prefer to call it the end of week 7 because this chick is mere days from done. She's a straight fuck'n enigma to be honest. Earlier in the week I was sure she was gett'n the knife on the weekend. Now I'm almost positive I can push a little more outta her. She's fading out beautifully now but the trichs are sooooo close to our harvest wheelhouse. General uniformity in cloudiness throughout, little amber on the tops and some racy mirrored trichs on the underbelly๐Ÿ‘Œ. Swapped the res. and we'll top off on plain water moving forward to the full finish I think. I expect this to be the last update before the chop. We were hoping for a well-rounded basketball and ended up with a warped beachball monster๐Ÿ‘Œ. She's squat and the buds start from literally the base of the plant. Gonna go out on a limb and guess min. 4oz. at this point. Dense resinous beast๐Ÿ’ช. Not long now ya'll. Tip 'O The Week This weeks bullshit is about pick'n ur spot when it comes time to harvest. Some folks like their weed racy and heart palpatation inducing, others like it sedative and ..... ahhh fuck it. Iโ€™m way too high to be soapboxing right now. Summary: Wait until sheโ€™s done and then get the scissors out!๐Ÿ‘. Background From Exotic Seeds, Herz OG is a 4th gen. Cross of GG4 and black lemon autos, crossed again with a photo Herz OG mother. Supposedly piney, honey and woody tones with a calm relaxing effect. Just what the lady of the house ordered. Sheโ€™ll be straight DWC like the rest. 2 weeks on the drip line and depending on how they all do, this may be the girl that stays under the Spider Farmers for the duration. My first go with Exotic so no idea what weโ€™re in for. Letโ€™s hope sheโ€™s a beast๐Ÿคž. Iโ€™ve included a weekly tip forum for those new to the game that have an interest in trying out water based hydroponics. Itโ€™s vetted, reliable info that will hopefully help you avoid weeks of lost time and failed attempts. Comments, questions and discussion are always welcome๐Ÿ‘.

Not much for trimming on this plant. Plant is just reaching the upper screen. By the end of the week the plant will have been moved around to fit the squares as best as possible. Stay tuned!
