- Week 6 - ----- Day 36 ----- No feeding today as it was tomorrow so nutrient line up isn't up yet. I'll do that tomorrow. Ladies are perfect, I can't wait. less than 30 days away. ----- Day 37 ----- Today is feeding but back left is behind the other 3 again, gave the other 3 500ml of tap water (10ppm) to prevent turgor pressure loss while back left dries up. Should be feeding in 3-4 hours. 23L 1100-1500ppm (new feeding, so ppm end is not known atm) 6.4 pH Plants are insane, big Bertha has become middle Bertha as the other stems have fattened up quickly. Speaking of which plants are in bulk period, 3~ weeks left so it's an exciting time to watch them fatten up. **UPDATE** Fed at 1000ppm 23L 6.4pH The removal of FloraNova Bloom, and letting the chelated Diamond Nectar go to work on the molasses brings down the "accountable" parts by the machine I use. 1000ppm is full strength on all fertilizers being used. I might add more molassses in the future and bring it up to 2ml/L, and maybe a smidge of epsom salts next feeding via foliar or direct feeding after I do some research. No more KoolBloom liquid, KoolBloom powder begins and she's a strong one. ----- Day 38 ----- Yesterday back left plant has me unnecessarily anxious. It didn't need watering till 2 hours before lights off. What I did is fed the other 3 90% of the feeding, and only gave back left 10% (closed the irrigation heads till the end of feeding). I'm HOPING it was the plant transitioning from pre-bulk flower to bulk-flower stage, and maybe it slowed down photosynthesis to concentrate on hormonal changes. I dont know I'm anxious and just talkin out loud. I'll know within 72 hours if there's a major issue with back left. Plant looks fine, i'm just paranoid. Pictures later today around mid light cycle. Buds are getting insanely fat. **Update** Was bored. Here's some wicked shots. Still 25-27~ days left and its big bulk time. Can't wait to see them at the end. ----- Day 39 ----- Everything is great. Feeding late tonight or potentially tomorrow depending on back left plant. I want to make sure bottom center of the root zone has dried out and doesn't begin to mold before I water again. This will also help prevent fungus gnats in the soil. I'll keep the other 3 away from turgor pressure loss, but they got 90% of the feeding last time so I expect them to dry by the time back left is. *** Update *** Now the other 3 plants who were faster on water intake than back left yesterday have slowed down. Weed growing knowledge at a Horticultural greenhouse scientific repeatable level is pure fucking garbage. I have 6~ books and checked dozens of sites and there was major conflicting info on water intake. That's the problem with cannabis, it was illegal for so damn long horticulture practices and knowledge never molded or were used in the process and now it's anyone's fucking guess as to who is telling truth or is spouting bullshit bro-science. Don't even get me started on names. What a stupid god damn naming system "counter-culture" created... I'm growing wedding cake.. WEDDING CAKE? Wtf. That's stupid as shit. Give weed botanical Latin names based on appearance and technical factors PLEASE!!!!!! If I could name this plant it would be (Cannibas v. hybrid 'multa-magnum-fragum-gemmae-dulcis') why? It's due to it being a; Cannabis plant, hybrid variety 'multiple big bud strawberry candy' showing off multiple long bud stems smelling of candy, Is that more convoluted and arrogant than Wedding cake? YES, it is. Is it better? YES fuck your stupid wedding cake name. That's dumb. And you should feel bad. Still want to argue? Name it Cannabis v. Hybrid 'crustulam nuptias' THERE! Wedding cake. fuuuck! 99.99% of plant names are Latin. Anyways... back to the point... I hypothesize that there is a secondary transition portion of flower where the plant (like in stretch transition) pauses its growth to move the hormone and nutrient production to other sources. This secondary pause happens JUST before bulk session begins. This hypothesis states roughly that up until final big bulk period (last 3-4 weeks), fan leaves and sugar leaves could still be produced by the plant during a "predator" or "high weather event" situation that would cripple the plants photosynthesis for final bud/seeding production during early to mid stage flowering. Once the plant has reached adequate nutrient reserves or some other time or light cycle based trigger, it removes the hormonal/internal production/ability of sugar/fan leaves still being potentially produced out of the internode stem cells and fully stops that ability and concentrates 100% of growth on bud structure and protection of bud structures through THC/CBA/CBC/CBD etc. (Im a little tipsy, can't spell cannabinoid leave me alone...) production. Tonight I will at 30 minutes before lights off be judging the water requirements during sleep of each plant to prevent turgor pressure loss, and to allow each plant to finish this transition and get back to major water intake by feeding tomorrow morning. It's insanely obvious somethings changed. I Was worried that leaving back left plant with stagnant water in the bottom saucer (pot doesn't sit directly in the water but is 3 inches above it) had released mold spores and started destroying the root mass of the back left plant but: 1) No obvious plant death signs, weakness or other aspects of it being a slow death from bottom up. 2) The other plants did the same damn thing within 48 hours.... and the back left plant is by far the largest and gets the most "light" due to its size hence it would most likely (HYPOTHESIS) finish its secondary cycle a bit faster due to just volume and weight. Listen i'm not gonna say this is all 100% correct knowledge, It's based off feeling and "knowing" plant cycles as a greenhouse certified Horticultural Technician. Repeated efforts to grow and replicating situations that created these things over and over is the real proof and will come in time. One major benefit is the fact I WILL be re-flowering these for the VERY LEAST 3 full flowering cycles as long as they don't die during flower to veg transition. I will be getting them THC tested EVERY SINGLE flower cycle to prove without a doubt the "maximum maturity" possible of a weed plant re-veg flower cycling, just like how we know by the 5th or 6th successive clone, the DNA will deteriorate and the grow will be stunted or a lesser bud high and yield. God I fucking ramble when I'm bored and tipsy. ----- Day 40 ----- Fed at 1350ppm 6.3pH 23L Plants are doing great. **Update** Little fun video from mid light cycle. Roughly 20-25 days left. Will finish at 30% amber 70% cloudy and will cut branch by branch as they are done, not in a rush to do 1 single cut and will let them survive to re-veg easier and less stressful. ----- Day 41 ----- Easy day. Here's some pics. Just basically have to watch the grass grow today. ----- Day 42 ----- Big photo day, used ruler for most shots. End of beginning of bulk, big bulk starts tomorrow. Could probably feed late night tonight but I'm going to just give 500-750 ml of water depending on roots needs before lights off. Tomorrow will be a big feed for first day of week 7. Tropicanna Glookies tips on back right are beginning to darken and become purple. I am hoping this whole plant turns purple in last 2-3 weeks. We will see. **Update** Back right plant is starting to turn purple and FAST. Pretty awesome.

🤷🏿‍♂️🔇

Everything's still going pretty good. With my previous grow I had some problem with overwatering (classic noob mistake), so as you can see on the video I'm giving them small amounts at a time once every 4/5 days. Made a photo of the light that I'm using. Flowering mode is turned off so power consumption is around 120 watts.

Day 99 07/10/24 Monday Flushing this week Using de-chlorinated tap water 10L pH 6 with Flawless finish. Seeing her finalise and ripen this week will be satisfying 😍 Watching her colours transform, she's just stunning 👌 Picture and video update 📸 Day 101 09/10/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Day 103 11/10/24 Friday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today again pH 6. Only 1.5L Day 104 12/10/24 Saturday Another Flush today, using 10L de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with flawless finish. She really has darkened in colour now, fans showing a deep dark Purple / Black, the buds themselves are a deep dark purple, and absolutely laced with trichomes 🤤 Picture update tonight📸💚

First, so sorry again for the lame and horrible pictures. I lost the every single picture I took, the whole process :( and had to take a few just before harvest with a lame phone. This wasn't hard to train at all. Took all the heavy defolation I did like a champ. I just messed up with the nute intake. I can't ask more of this light so I'm quite happy with the results. I've learned so much since my first grow that I'm honestly happy with what I'm getting. I used topping in the fifth node, lst and net for scrog I later had to remove. Next time I'll repeat the same thing but I'll leave less branches and focus on getting them as fat as they can. Too many popcorn bud with so many branches, light can't go trough like with less branches. I could write so much about the smell of this one. At some point IT WAS vanilla, during the cutting process I moved it quite a bit and strangely, it was pure mint. Growing it, it was extremely sweet and a bit earthy, never leaving the vanilla touches. I'll stick with Barney's for a few more plants. It was a resistant and lovely plant to grow.

I’m a few days late with my entry because I was busy in the other tent finishing up with a project. The express is going along nicely. I duped the nutrients and ran a few days of florakleen to run a test and see if stripping the salts and removing the nutrient bond as advertised makes a difference. She has a big beautiful stall and all her branches are supported nicely.

Easy grow cycle, 5 weeks of vegetation and 7 to 8 weeks of flowering and they are good to harvest. For drying I only removed the bigger fan leaves. Now they are hanging upside down in the tent to dry for about 8 to 10 days before trimming and getting a proper dry weight.

6/21/2021: - Transplanted to final pot. Next cycle, will germinate seed straight into the soil/final pot. - Bought a pump sprayer for even irrigation. - Fed soil a kelp, karanja, neem & coconut water tea. No adverse reactions as of yet. - Soil went hydrophobic before transplant, will water as necessary. - Branch on first node bent from stalk upon transplant, currently being supported by a stake. - Noticing red/purple stalks and branches, very stoked! - Need to re-feed lacto/wild yeast starter. - Need to brew up more kelp tea. 6/23/2021 - Took off support early, split seemed to heal, but has separated once again. Going to manifold, so not too concerned. - Had to water about .7g of water to keep soil moist for duration of day. - 6th node growing vigorously, birth of leaves for 7th node showing. 6/27/2021 - Topped plant for quadlining at the 5th node, cleared all growth under 3rd. - Watered with a mix of coconut water, DIY neem, karanja & kelp extract. - Foliar fed with DIY kelp extract. - Trimmed leaves already giving off great grapefruit aromas. - Pressing trim for framing.

What can I say but wow this is the star of my grow room she has it all , stress tested , heat , cold , drought lol just a monster . The team at dinafem have created some thing special here she eats a lot and has the nicest colour around . Can't wait to see her in her flower and how much she can stretch out .. till next time Cana family

Entering the 10th week, I've decided too scale back a bit on the nutrients, Due too some tip burn as well as did a flush because of extra salt build up. Things are definitely getting exciting now and the smell is now noticeable. Happy Holidays and One Love 💚.

🔥🔥🔥 week 12 smashing it! I am flushing the main lined plant, the thai stick looking one and the big purple this week ! 2 plants just on Overdrive and bloom for 1 more week or 2 then onto the flushing The colours on the leaves of the main line plant almost have a blue and gold tone to them, mad! buds are frosty! Buzzing with these autos! 🙌👊🔥 Crazy colours Will update soon 👽👍

Einen schönen Sonntag mal wieder & frohes Neues 😊 🌿 Wochenupdate Es läuft alles in allem weiterhin stabil =) Ich tracke und erhalte nach wie vor die Nährstofflösung. Mir ist lediglich ein kleiner Interpretationsfehler unterlaufen… Notorious hat erste Anzeichen von Salzstress durch einen konstant zu hohen EC gezeigt. Kein starkes Schadbild und ziemlich sicher nichts, was den Run oder ihre Entwicklung gefährden würde zum Glück =D Trotzdem hat es mich zu dem Zeitpunkt ehrlich gesagt ziemlich abgefuckt 😅 Ich hätte hier deutlich intensiver hinschauen sollen. Da sie von ihrer Blattstruktur her generell eher hart bzw. rau ist, ist mir der Fehler erst relativ spät aufgefallen, jetzt zeigt sie bereits leichte lokale Verbrennungen. Sonst sind keine klassischen Mängelbilder vorhanden, keine Root-Probleme und keine pH-Ausreißer. Die anderen Ladies performen im selben Reservoir völlig unauffällig 😊 Ich gehe davon aus, hier einen EC-empfindlichen Phäno erwischt zu haben. Natürlich habe ich mich direkt nach dem ausgiebigen Ärgern daran gemacht, die Nährstofflösung etwas zu entspannen =D.. Ich bin jetzt runter auf 1.800 EC und beobachte zunächst ein paar Zyklen des Uptake-Patterns. Danach entscheide ich, wie es weitergeht 😊 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake Frostet fleißig weiter ❄️ Ich finde, sie sieht einfach traumhaft aus 😄 Ihr Geruch hat sich nochmal deutlich intensiviert und geht jetzt klar in Richtung beerig, der Joghurt Teil ist verschwunden =D Bin wirklich gespannt, was da noch kommt und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt 🔥 Purpz ist Aktuell für mich ganz klar der Eyecatcher im Zelt =) Top Frost, sehr schöne homogene Sites und ich meine bereits leichte Anthocyan-Einlagerungen erkennen zu können 😍 Der Geruch geht inzwischen eher in Richtung Diesel, mit einem leicht fruchtigen Abgang 🍋 Schwer zu greifen, aber extrem spannend 😄 Notorious THC Entwickelt sich ebenfalls gut 😊 Abgesehen von den lokalen Burns macht sie insgesamt einen guten Eindruck. Der kushige, eher dumpfe Geruch hat sich manifestiert, allerdings muss man bei ihr schon etwas näher rangehen =) Vom Frost zieht sie gut nach ❄️ Vom Aufbau her habe ich generell den Eindruck, dass sie etwas später dran ist. Dafür sehe ich aber klar das Potenzial auf richtig schöne Buds, die Ansätze sehen sehr vielversprechend aus =D Guzzlerz Hat auch echt gut aufgeholt, bin ehrlich gesagt überrascht 😄 Optisch immer noch etwas zart, das hat sie noch nicht ganz abgelegt, aber von der Entwicklung her würde ich sagen mittlerweile auf Augenhöhe mit NTHC 👍 Bei ihr meine ich einen leichten bläulichen Schimmer in der jungen Blüte erkennen zu können, für mich bleibt es auch hier absolut spannend =D Geruchs review gibt's hier beim nächsten update. ⚙️ System Top-Ups erhalten weiterhin die Lösung 🔧😊 VPD: 1,35 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm im Durchschnitt EC: 1.800–1.850 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und Mitfiebern 😊 Ich wünsche euch allen eine schöne Woche 🌱

Empezamos un nuevo cultivo, se vienen unos meses de puro disfrute y cariños para estas niñas 👍

there is a significant increase in growth after bending the upper cola, as compared with the sativa, the WB grows and blooms much faster, very grateful to your advice, everything is clearly illuminated, on the next allotment I think to add some ice and shed everything with cold water, the flavor is very strong, for three days I made leaf clippings on the lower part of the plant, fertilized 2-3 times a week, I try to add less than the specified norm, I don’t feel like leaves, I feel as you can see it’s not very bad, I feel this variety will be closer to the harvest than the neighboring sativa, it pleases, and I feel the harvest will not be bad) Well, we are waiting for 7 weeks, wish me luck)

Canopy is good!!! Some problem whit leaf…. Tomorrow a make a lil defoliation. I notice probably some problem whit space between light and top of plant… :)))

This girl is set on hold back on flowering This girl is going too be a beast

Hi folks, hope you are doing great! Here pretty much everything is under control. We are trying some LST and it's getting better ans better. We have found the screen, so why don't use it ans test some scrog after all? I will use the screen just to disciplinate the colas, but I won't cut any branch or leaf. Normally this is going to be the last week of veg, knowing that they will stretch quite a bit normally :) Stay safe folks!
