At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

7/20: All three are doing great. I'm hoping to extend Plant 1's vegetation week so that the others catch up to her for the flip, which is eventually coming. I added RapidStart this week. I've heard great things, we shall see. More root, more fruit. Trimmed 2 lower fan leaves that were not getting any light. 7/21: Our time is drawing near for the flip! Are those........ STIPULES? 7/22: LSTing hard. Much good. Nutes niiiice. She's just letting me bend her all sorts of ways for that light. 7/23: LST for you and me, to grow some weed so happily... la la la 7/24: They are just perky tonight! 7/25: Last day of week 4. I started some bloom nutes this morning to prep, and tomorrow I lollipop 'em! I also got a new microscope for the trichomes later on, can't wait to see what's photos and videos I get.

Week 8 Summary - Not much to say except what's in the video. This girl is a beast and just takes whatever you throw at er! She's looking good and could flip any time, but we'll wait until end of week 9 I think. I continue to be impressed with the consistency of coco as a growing medium and the botanicare nute sched. appears to be fully on point. 3:1 ratio full strength nutes to calmag only. I know it's early and I've certainly learned my lesson before (#countingchickensbeforehatch) but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna smash this one dudes. There's simply no stopping this plant. Thanks as always for the support and comments. Stayed tuned - flower show ain't far off👌👊✊ Background After the batshit nonsense with this years outdoor grows getting jacked, I need some kush and I need it fast! This girls an indoor grow in the cabinet and she'll be manifolded and defo'd for 8-10 fat ass colas. They’ll spend a first week or so under a cfl assembly while the last harvest dries out in the cabinet. This grow is going to be nute sched. heavy and will hopefully test the limits of my smaller grow space (2sq/ft). Ive had my eye on a critical & kush cross for awhile and really looking forward to seeing this one grow out. Thanks for take'n a peek, stayed tuned, and happy grow'n folks! 👊

Nothing new this week. She's still growing steadily and the nutes seem to be doing a good job so far. I'm using the Dual Fuel with a bit of Growth Solution to raise the EC to follow the Green Plant Nutes program and it feels like it's right so I'm keeping like that. The light is set to 100% as the plants are healthy and the weather is getting a bit too cold. I upgraded my second inlet fan from a generic 150mm ball bearing fan to a 125mm Phresh Hyper Fan V2 w/ speed control. Now my tent is so much quiet with both Hyper Fans V2 working on blowing fresh air in and out. Maybe I get a Phresh Hyperfan V2 Climate Controller to manage them automatically next upgrade.

New week, plants start to produce loads of sugar and a strong smell is coming trough

The plant has the classic structure, low and wide, both have the same characteristics only the vase changes the sample #A and larger, but it seems that this does not bother you at #B! it grows smoothly. I defoliated to allow more air and light ... they are at the beginning of the 5 week and they seem excellent!☺️

Just feeding and letting them do their own thing. They have done really well for only being in 1litre pots.

Empieza la sexta semana. Esta debía ser la última. Pero todavía quedan unos días más, así que me voy a extender a 7 semanas. Se pueden ver algunos cogollos grandes y voluminosos. Algunos otros no tanto, pero sin tanta diferencia. Hice una solución bien cargada para aprovechar la última semana de engorde. Espero llegar cómodo a la cosecha y sacar buenos resultados. Ya fumé algunas hojas con la pipa de agua, y el sabor y potencia se empiezan a notar. Seguiré actualizando cómo se termina esto. Día 38. Todo sigue muy bien. Las flores siguen engordando y las hojas llenas de tricomas. Creo que a pesar de algunos detalles, el resultado va a ser interesante. Ya es la cuenta regresiva y de no mediar problemas habrá una cosecha abundante. Por ahora se prende intermitentemente el ventilador a la noche, por lo que no se ven problemas de humedad. Pero ante la duda en cualquier momento coy a dejar prendidos los extractores toda la noche. Día 40. Estoy viendo que unos pocos tricomas recién se empiezan a poner blancos. Por lo cual puede ser que incluso se alargue una semana más de lo que pensaba, llegando a 8. Hoy llegó el overdrive de advanced, pero no se si usarlo en esta planta, ya que depende de la maduración de los tricomas si empiezo el lavado en tres días, o no. El engorde es muy notorio en estos días, así que ya estoy bastante conforme. Aún así voy a ver si es necesaria una semana más de nutrición o no.

I’m quite surprised as to how well these girls are looking and smelling!! They’re quality genetics but i also believe every strain will provide pros and cons during the grow. This one particularity has been quite the learning experience. Cannabis is quite the resilient plant and I definitely like growing them. As far as this week goes they’re definitely producing more trichomes and resin glands and appears there’s no more stretch from the plant. No more new growth even small amounts hidden within the canopy. I did a little flush earlier this week and it made the tips of what fan leaves turn yellowish so it def means we’re getting close to the end. Prob got another 2 weeks before I fully flush for Atleast a week then pulling them down. The trichs will be the ultimate deciding factor. I’ll pull when i see the first sign as I like more of a heady high than a couch-lock with little to none clear. Well till next week y’all happy growin and hopefully ya had a good thanksgiving

Howdy All, Happy New Year! The girls are getting close. The pictures were taken on the 29th. Today is the 3rd of Jan. They are getting close as you can see in the pictures. I began flushing last week with just Regeisys and still giving Terpinator. They are not going to finish at the same time, it looks like I have 2 that will go first and then the other 2 within a week or so. They smell great, and as the Pics show they are frosty. Don't want the Trichomes to get to amber, maybe 25% of them and we are about there. I will follow up early next week. Happy Growing in 2020 everyone!.

🌿 Woche 5 🌱 Wachstum & Training 🌱 Das Training läuft fantastisch – ein täglicher, stetiger Prozess. 😬✂️ Beide Damen sehen rundum gesund aus, mit kräftig grünen Blättern. 💪🍀 Sogar ein halb abgebrochener Trieb hat sich richtig gut erholt. 👌🌱 Man merkt inzwischen, dass eine der Damen dominanter ist. 👑🔥 Der mittlere Bereich ist hart umkämpft – vielleicht doch ein Ticken zu eng für zwei Pflanzen. 🤼‍♀️😨🌱 Ich habe daher ordentlich entlaubt und ein paar kleinere Triebe entfernt. ✂️🍃🗑️ Langsam füllt sich der gesamte Raum mit einem gleichmäßigen Blätterdach. 🌳💚 Der Stretch hat begonnen – und alle Triebe haben richtig Bock, steil zu gehen! 🚀🌿🎯 💧 Living Soil – Only Water 💧🌍 Wie man sieht: Kein einziger Trieb oder ein Blatt mit Mängeln. ✅🌱👌 Die Vegetationsphase lief absolut problemlos – ganz ohne Temperatur- oder Luftfeuchtigkeitsunterstützung. 🌡️💨❌ Nur mit einer Mischung aus destilliertem Wasser und Leitungswasser. 💧🚰 🔄 Drehbarer Topf 🎥 Ich bin nach wie vor ein großer Fan dieser Lösung! 😄👍 Nicht nur entstehen witzige kleine Videos, sondern es hilft enorm beim Training. 📸✂️ Ich achte beim Formen stets darauf, die Drehfunktion nicht einzuschränken – klappt bisher richtig gut. 🔄✔️ 💡 Licht & Schatten 🔆🌘 Im Laufe der Woche habe ich das Licht auf bis zu 400 PPF hochgedreht. 💡📈 So streben die Triebe weiter aktiv nach Licht – bekommen aber auch nicht zu wenig. 🌞🌱➡️💥 💧 Blumat & Gießen 💧🚿 🕒 Alle paar Tage bei 110 mbar 🚿 Jeweils 2 l Wasser 💦 ☀️ Wetter 🌡️🔥 Die Temperaturen waren (und sind) brutal: 26°–33 °C. ☀️ Scheint aber bisher alles gut zu verkraften. 😌🌿💪 🎶 The Grow must go on! 🌱🎵💚✨

Bonjour à tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis La semaine 4 va être décisive pour cette demoiselle car je vais pratiquer sur elle un main-lining et un LST Je précise que le main-lining n'est pas recommandé pour les autofloraisons car son cycle de vie prédéfinie ne lui permet pas de ce remettre pleinement. Cela aura forcément un impact sur son rendement, pour des raisons esthétiques et un espace de culture restreint je n'ai pas d'autre choix. Pour ce main-lining j'ai attendu le jour 24 et l'apparition du septième noeuds. Une fois le main-linning terminé je pratiquerai la technique du LST ce qui me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Vous pouvez voir une vidéo de mon main-lining qui détaille la manière dont je procède pour réaliser cette technique. Petit rappel et explications sur cette technique: Le main-lining a toujours été une technique très populaire parmi les cultivateurs, puisqu'avec des ajustements simples pendant la première étape de croissance, vous vous garantissez des récoltes plus que productives. Il s'agit de faire pousser la plante de façon verticale et symétrique afin de profiter au maximum de la lumière et de l'espace, des aspects très recherchés dans les cultures d'intérieur. En guidant les branches avec des cordes et une série de tailles initiales, vous établirez des patrons de croissances vigoureux pour vos plantes. COMMENT METTRE EN PLACE LE MAIN-LINING En partant de la graine, attendez que votre plante ait au moins développé 5 nœuds. Lorsqu’ils seront formés, taillez la plante au niveau du troisième nœud. Retirez tout ce qui s’est développé en dessous du troisième nœud(Moi j'enlève que le premier et garde le deuxième et troisième). Cela formera le Y ou le T initial que vous recherchez. Permettez à votre plante de se remettre de ce stress imposé durant quelques jours avant de passer à l’étape suivante. Votre plante comporte désormais deux pousses principales(ou 4 si vous gardez le deuxième noeud). Ces dernières devraient être attachées avec du fil ou de la ficelle(ou du fil de fer). Cela dirigera la croissance de manière horizontale. Faites bien attention en attachant les branches, ne les brisez surtout pas. Soyez doux. Une fois que la plante s’est un peu développée, vous vous retrouverez avec 4 tiges principales. Vous pourrez répéter ce processus autant de fois que vous le souhaiterez, accédant ainsi à de plus gros rendements. Rappelez-vous tout de même que plus vous répéterez ce processus, plus la période de croissance sera longue. Sauf pour les autofloraisons car étant donné le temps additionnel qu’il lui faut, le main-lining n’est pas compatible avec les variétés à autofloraison. Les autofloraisons ont des cycles de croissance très rapides, et d’ici à ce que la technique soit mise en place, la moitié de leur développement sera déjà passé. Cela pourrait potentiellement endommager les récoltes et cela influe sur le rendement Dès que vous aurez produit la quantité désirée de séparations, il ne sera plus qu’une question de temps avant que des têtes uniformes commencent à apparaître. Une légère défoliation régulière durant le cycle de croissance vous permettra également de vous assurer d’une distribution égale de la lumière, et empêchera votre plante de gâcher de l’énergie avec de grandes feuilles superflues. Retirez ces feuilles dès qu’elles commencent à prendre trop de place. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

Final countdown!!! 💐

I fiori diventano sempre più compatti e incominciano a sentirsi sempre di più i profumi delle cime Sono riuscito a stabilizzare la temperatura a 24.5 gradi con la lampada al 100% di intensità luminosa a 45cm dalle cime Questa settimana per pulire un po’ il substrato ho dato 2 irrigate a ph 6.4 e circa 100ppm

Banana purple punch - 420 fast buds Looking so healthy now, early stages she almost didn’t make it but now she’s covered in purple buds , shining with thricomes , frosted all over and smells like berries and tropical sort of profile with gassy earthy notes also. I am excited to smoke her in 3/4 weeks time DRSHOTZUK @420fastbuds

Sa sent le rincage

They are all doing great. I cleaned my resivor and forgot to turn the valve back on. In less than 24 hrs my boy starts wilting ( he is such a pussy ). Other than that things are good. My light decided it was tired and wanted to quit working. It is 3 years old, but I barely used it. I have a spare, but anyway its time to shut it off. They are getting about 14 and 1/2 hours of sunlight. The longest day of the year was on Friday. Its almost like it knew. 😂🤣😂🤣 They should already be outside in the final pot..... but I'm behind. They should be 5 feet +.... but I'm behind. My boy is the tallest at 43 inches and the shortest girl is 36 inches. I will transplant into 25 gallon hard plastic pots. This grow will be slightly different this year. Somehow I will make it happen. I'm thinking of cramming them into tomato cages, and seeing what happens. I'm not even sure if I'm going to top them. I am just going to play it out and decide later, or not decide. I'm sure it will have some ups and downs.
