Day 54. Im about 3 or 4 days away from a 1 week flush and then a 48hr no water. Prior to harvest. Buds are very nice and dense and the smell has really increased.

-7/6/23 harvested today, cutting the week short so Ican try some of the buds before the @Fast_Buds Fast Flower competition ends. smells like lemons and has a sweet earthy scent, hoping that the lemon stays the dominant scent.

getting there

Week 7 begins for Mandarin dreams. Both ladies are looking good and healthy, bud sites continue to bulk up and frost up. The shirt smell from MD1 has gone away, it's current smell is a bit earthy. Switched out big bud coco for overdrive as we approach the end of the grow. Thanks for checking in, tune in next week! 👽🌳🔥

10.29 day one, flipped to 12-12, I’m gunna run this first week with my MH then next week HPS! 10.30 might feed flower nutes later at night if I stay up, if not in the morning

Hola a todos!! Esta semana prácticamente no he fertilizado, ya que luego de un breve lavado note que los valores de ppm aun seguía siendo alto..(1700...1800), entonces segui regando solo con agua, con bajas ppm 500 ppm aprox. Recien ayer logre bajar las ppm , no asi el ph, del drenaje, me viene dando 7.2, pero a pesar de todos estos inconvenientes, a la planta se la ve bien. En esta semana se estiro 20 cms, pero los cogollos aun están flacos y sin resina, pero en características generales esta bien. El lavado lo hice el día 44 con 7 litros de agua con ph 6 y ppm 500, luego de un buen rato de drenaje medi y en ese entonces parecían haberse corregidos, pero al siguiente riego dia 46( lo hice con 2lts de agua) me volvió a dar valores altos. Para no generar un mal ambiente para la planta, la deja descansar 2 días, y ayer (dia48) volvi a regar y al fin las ppm han bajado a 900, el ph aun sigue dando alto, pero como mencione antes la planta demuestra que cualquier inexperto la puede cultivar, porque se aguanta todo ese stress😅😅 . El video corresponde al día 49(01/10).

She’s going strong ! I mean look at her go . This is going to be a wonderful yield with many top buds and surprisingly big popcorn buds.its now time to flush those nutes with good old plain ph water. Im checking the trichomes regularly and at different spots to determine when they are 80/20 milky then i will start the 48h of darkness before harvest to stop the degradation of thc and squeeze the most out of the resin glands. The smell is truly amazing, blue dream is by far my favourites everyday strain so seeing those buds just make me want to wrap the whole thing and light it up but patience is the key ! Drying and curing your buds properly Is the hardest and most crucial part

Will update over time - have another three on the go at various stages.

You guys this lady is doing great since the first day she took it really well with the environment and the hot soil . The frost is thick and she smells so dam musky it's the classic gorilla glue smell. The tricohmes are showing more amber and the flush had started so looking forward to the end of this run ... Harvest times are coming ....

*Will be topping them to find out Sex in straight 12/12 cloner hopefully we get more females than males. * Will update journal later *Ignore everything untill tomorrow *So I cut them and put them straight into 12/12 the clones that is to show me Sex. *You could see the hollow hole in the stem I wonder if that’s gonna cause an issue.

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop which had an improved and more potent THC content and was more pungent in terms of smell. Now the third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL which has a similar THC content but with an improved heavier yield. The smoke is incredible with an outstanding flavour of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its strong earthy scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odour. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain and the effect is well-balanced creating mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The strong pungent aroma starts early in the flowering period, if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse the stinky "road kill" aroma of these babies! Cheese XXL is a Cheese strain particularly suited to indoor setups but also thriving well outdoors these feminised marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mould and disease and produce a substantial harvest that both the professional and amateur growers alike can easily achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding, break open the buds ready for use and you'll see why, the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency and flavour then Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice

The plants finally seem like they're picking up steam, with more noticeable growth every day. We're really surprised by the variation between Plant #3 and the others. All plants have been receiving the same light levels and watering but Plant #3 is super leggy! The space between 2 nodes is almost as much as the entire height of Plant #2. Day 22 - light levels have been slowly increased throughout week 3. We're now averaging 27k LUX across the canopy. - More LST on Plants #1 and #3, started some very minor LST on Plant #2. - We plan to do another magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) foliar feed, although we think that our last foliar feed did have some positive effect and the yellowing of the leaves has improved some. - These girls are also finally starting to become thirsty and i expect that we'll be increasing our watering frequency this week. - We've noticed that these plants tend to respond better to daytime temps between 78-83F. Under 78F and they seem to look and grow rather sluggish. We wonder if that has to do with the fact that LED lights do not provide any UV, therefore, in order to maintain optimal leaf surface temperature, the air temp perhaps needs to be slightly higher than if using CMH or HPS bulbs. It's just a theory but regardless of the science, we're aiming for 80-82F during veg. - We trimmed the lowest set of branch shoots off of Plant #2. It is so compact in there... 6 nodes in less than 2 inches of growth! The branches are all tiny so we're going to experiment a little and focus the growth on the main stem, leaving a few of the more robust looking branches. Day 23 - Watered with dechlorinated, aerated tap water, with approximately 1ml/gal of GHE's "CALiMAGic". pH adjusted to 6.5 - Continued LST on plants #1 & #3. We got a little too carried away with Plant #1 and ended up ever so slightly breaking the main stem! Luckily, it was just a small "gash" and we're confident it'll heal up quickly (see "Day 23" photo above). - As part of our LST treatment, we do leaf tucking as well, which seems to be having a positive effect on the development of some of those branches that are covered by the larger fan leaves. - Day 23 really was a day of mishaps... our air conditioner timer did not turn on again and for about 6 hrs the temperature inside the tent reached 87F. - Our HLG Elite 360 light fixture is now running at approximately 40-45% intensity, at about 32" above the canopy. Combined with the Sunblaster strip lights, we're getting approximately 28-30,000 LUX across the canopy. - I expect that we'll start seeing some pre-flowers/pistils within this next week, at which time we'll be looking at swapping the three 6400K Sunblasters with two 2700K Sunblasters, to supplement our main light. - Lastly, we did another magnesium sulfate (epsom salt) foliar feed at lights-out. We went a bit stronger than anticipated, with a 700ppm solution of dechlorinated, aerated tap water and approximately 1 teaspoon of epsom salts per gallon. We were aiming for about 400ppm, so hopefully 700 isn't too high! pH adjusted to 6.6 and applied with a fine mist spray bottle. Day 24 - Started LST on Plant #2, tied down main top, some leaf tucking. - Temp: 73-82F - RH: 45-60% - Lowered HLG Elite 360 light fixture by 1-2 inches, to approximately 30 inches above canopy. - Lowered the center Sunblaster LED strip by 1-2 inches. - LUX: 27-30,000+ - Our "light meter" app maxes out at 30,000 LUX, so we're unable to read anything above that... A proper light meter is on our wishlist! 👌 Day 25 - LST on Plant #2 - Lowered Elite 360 fixture to 28" above canopy. Increased intensity to approx. 50%. - LUX estimated at 29-32,000 across canopy. Day 26 - Plant #2 showing some light/heat stress. - Raised Elite 360 fixture up 2-3 inches. - Aiming for slightly lower temperatures of 78-80F, instead of 80-82F Day 27 - Watered with a 315ppm nutrient solution. Watered to approximately 10% runoff. Day 28 - Defoliation of a few fan leaves and small branches from Plant #1 & #2. - Plant #2 really seems to have some dwarf genetics showing up or something... very small branches and leaves... looking under-developed. We're a bit concerned that she won't have what it takes to put on weight. - Temperatures have been swinging a bit further than we'd like, reaching down to 73F during lights off and occasionally getting up to 84F during lights on. Most of the time the temp sits between 79-80F. - Pistils are definitely showing on Plants # 1 & #2, with Plant #3 the furthest behind in pre-flower (but also the largest plant!). - Week 4 to week 5 is typically where we've run into nutrient deficiency and excess issues, so we're really hoping this coming week goes smoothly.

This beautiful lady smells very strong,I swear I can't believe it's her 15th day of flower since I forced flower on August 3rd,smells just like OG kush but with a different tone of sweetness. Love this strain to pieces. On August 24th starts the 3rd week of flower 🌸🌱.

This drought is wild, 300mm rain deficit around the island. Hot, dry, no clouds or rain in sight for the next month. While this is awful for everything else, this gal is living life to the fullest. Irrigation up to 3hr of drip every 5 days and that is it for this week. Still amazed by the water retention with this Hugel. Whats everyones thoughts on defoliation outdoors? I've kept it fairly light this year, loving the shape, and while canopy looks bushy from front, it's quite clean inside. My topping from 2 weeks ago is barely noticeable, this stretch coming into flowering will easily get her past 9 feet. The combined fimming and topping has really helped this shape. Rain at the end of the season is always a problem, smaller buds is more desirable to me. Nearly always use my herb to make FECO for Gummies, so small is better. I've ran a major support pole through the middle, and I end up using string to internally support all the branches to the center post. Gives me much better control over shape and support. I don't have a ton of room for a trellis so this is easier.

Welcome to week 10. 7/9-15 Grow family, friends and followers, for the most part, I've basically been flushing 3 gallons each plant every 2 days. I think it is helping both Gaia and Circe recover from nutrient lock out. I see tufts of new flowers forming on some top buds. In the flushing, I still see tea color run off but I will return to feeding very lightly this week. Measurements for one gallon but make 4 or 5 gallons of fertilizer solution. 7/9 flushed ladies with 3 gallons and picture day. 7/ 10 I already feel behind on this week. I had to rush watering my plants in the tent yesterday so I could prep the sides and condiments for a cookout. After eating we played games then, called it early as a storm was heading our way. I was going to do my diary up date last night but the storm took out our power. So today loaded yesterdays pics 7/11 ferigating day. All got flushed 3 gallons of water. After using, then I fertilized with additional 1gals Fertilizer TPS1 15 ml in 4 gal Signal 7.5 ml in 4 gal Each plant received 1gal. Also baking day -Banana Brownie recipe in week 2 Natrona's recipe diary. This is free of eggs, gluten and sugar. And I'm trying to create videos. Tried adding music and adding my IG avatar. Needs work and for me, sure didn't come easy. 7/12 I added a humidifier to the tent yesterday to bring VPD in line. It's getting too hot and with low humidity, the vpd is bordering on the red zone. Temps are heating hotter here so our a/c has to work harder and still not doing the cooling necessary. It is also cooling the tent by about 5 degrees. The drip trays were empty this morning. That means that after ferigating yesterday, any runoff in the bins was drank overnight. I did not top off the drip bins with tap water today. I'm letting them go a day or two without any water. I'm seeing more new tufts of hairs on lower buds. Yay.👍 7/13 water only and pictures. Also made osteoarthritis lotion.. week 3 Natrona's recipes 7/14 checking in. The girls are doing fine. No water today and bins are dry. Also at 10x magnifying, I am starting to see trichomes 👍 Pics taken. 7/15 Ferigate day. flushed with 1 gal each then fertilized in 4 gal 22ml TPS1 and 9ml Signal Thanks for stopping by,

Etwas K-booster dazu seit Woche 8 Ansonsten Seitenlampen angemacht

Looking like 3 more weeks until harvest. I’m going to start flushing in about 10-12 days
