Week 2: Stretching

Week 6 flower and the girls seem to have recovered from last week’s neglect and light intensity, but I’m sure the end result will be affected. The leaves also got a bit beat up. Watered in the final top dressing and did another round of selective defoliation. Moved the tops around a bit to open up the lower bud sites.

Today 23/07/22 We are two days into week 5, never talked about nutrient or water’ problems I had some leaves with few yellow marks but very small one beside that I always saw my plants green and happy, here you can see the scrog I set up yesterday not sure if this will work better but I think will help the branches grow further from the others increasing the light they riceve! I made it myself I will order one for the next grown when I will get my grow box! The watermelon is already flowering but the northern light no so today I started feeding the plants with different preparations.. I kept on giving the grow booster with a bit of bloom booster and viceversa for the watermelon! If you have any tips anything you think I’m doing wrong or you see it’s not ok let me know I don’t grow in a box I grow between the curtains and my window so the environment wasn’t always the perfect one

Finally got my buddy to come out and add in a 20 amp outlet so I can fire up a better light. Still using quantum boards but with a 4500k spectrum. Got in a foliar with the Growzyme from green buzz liquids. Fed them right before I took the pics they look a little sad but hopefully they bounce back quickly. Not much else going on.

Aufgrund der Höhe, habe ich zu Beginn der Woche an der einen Pflanze HST angewendet und den headbud an einer bestimmten Höhe "umgeknickt". Das hat hervorragend gut funktioniert. Allerdings habe ich den abgeknickten Haupttrieb mit einem seil fixiert. Als ich heute nachmittag in das Zelt sah, lag der Trieb neben Topf und war eins a sauber abgetrennt. Das Seil war nicht unter Spannung gezogen, lediglich als Haltepunkt wenn der Trieb sich wieder aufstellt. Nunja er ist jetzt ab. Ausserdem ist eine weitere Pflanze Männlich. So bleiben 4 von 7 die definitiv weiblich sind. Zum Wochenende gibt es ein paar neue Fotos von den verbleibenden Damen. Bis dahin, grow on.

Oh mama! We're getting close to chop day! Look at these top buds though, literally a morphed golf ball on top. Can't wait to taste that golf ball. 😁 The plant has been going great throughout the entire cycle, hopefully things finish as they've been going. No signs of deficiencies a little excess maybe so I've been laying off on the nutes a bit.. leaves are healthy green this will be the last week of nutes. Only water from now on.

New home bigger pots finish of this training and flip them

Week 5 of 8 begins for LSD. She looks good, very frosty and sticky with a berry citrus smell. Did a little defoliation as well. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week for another episode of growfessor theatre. 👽🌳💚

Getting thirstier and taller and more and more pink every day!! Starting to smell amazing! Some days no smell I notice at all, others absolutely wreaks of fruity skunk mainly grape-ish at the moment with berries and cherries, honestly can’t wait for her to finish! FastBuds never cease to amaze me with their genetics! Full time FastBuds from here on out for me! Won’t go with anyone else! ** SO, if you’re thinking about trying out FastBuds seeds… i HIGHLY recommend them! Super fast, super beautiful! ** Another three to be germinated in the next few weeks! Unsure which ones yet though but I have a multiple choice 😆😍 She has showed me absolutely 0 deficiencies or efficiencies or anything through the entire growth so far! Maybe one tiny case of cal mag deficiency in week 2 veg which I only noticed on one leaf then fed cal mag with the next feed a few days later, it’s never spread or returned!! Amazing!! Starting to look so so pretty and I hope the flowers stay changing purpleish pink!! I’m going to do three FastBuds seeds of one strain next, you guys can help me choose (list below)! 😆😎 I have faith in you all 😎🙏🏻 Cherry cola Purple lemonade Banana purple punch Gorilla cookies EDIT: THIS IS 3 WEEKS IN FLOWER NOT FROM SEED. When I started the diary I was just starting flower and started it wrong. She’s actually just started week 6 today from seed. Week 3 of flower today. This my first diary here so I’m just still getting used to it 😆 thanks guys! Love you FastBuds! 😎

Days 74 - 80 (from seed) 4/15/24 - 4/21/24 Lamp distance: 13" @ 50% power (estimate PAR?) VPD: not checking - humidity set to 40% Feed schedule: feed schedule once a week, 1/4 gallon water per plant daily - FPE added at 2oz per gallon every third day IPM: visual inspection only Notes: Final push, fading occurring on all plants now and some amber starting to show during trichome inspection. Cookies & Berries taking the most time of the group to finish while Mango Sky crossed the finish line first. All four plants will be chopped next week on the morning after the full moon, April 24th - according to the moon gardening calendar it is "best time to pick medicinal herbs and plants, while flowers if cut during this time have an intense scent and endure longer." They're close to finished in my book so it can't hurt to follow the lunar suggestion.

Um suprise how fat does this buds getting. Some of the buds are start getting some frost. Will be done great CBD/THC oil.

she will be 100 days old in some days more ... and she is ready to be cut ... I will also leave her until the first week of February ....

Hello fellow growers! 🌱 Despite a few bumps along the way, I'm thrilled to share that my contest journey is officially underway. After some delivery hiccups with the controller, the third attempt was the charm – it finally made it to my doorstep! 🚚💨 The initial excitement hit a snag when I faced issues connecting the controller. 🤔 Thankfully, the fantastic support team guided me through the troubleshooting process, and voila! 🛠️ My controller is now up and running smoothly. As I eagerly await the next stages, I haven't ventured into using the light adapter just yet. Stay tuned for updates on my growing adventure! 🌿

Good week looking good very proun proud to be running in house the mannn

Gorilla, gorilla, my problem child. The only one popping out of 5 but she is weaker than her roommates. She stays behind compared to them. But what can I do other than TLC, she has the best conditions, which are optimal in this grow room, also judging by the other two plants. Until I have a bigger operation, which in the current political climate, is not soon, where I can make mothers and clone them, breed my own strains, and root out runts like this, we do it like life. We play the hand as it is dealt to us and we love all our children the same... although this one is special. So not a genderfluid Silverback yet, but it ain't over till the voluptuous lady sings. We shall nurse this little runt until adulthood, who knows she might surprise us, she should have the mighty Gorilla Glue Number Fouh genes in there somewhere. Now come on out here and show daddy what you're made of... This week we spread out the leaves and branches, some leaf tucking and gentle LST, to prepare for some higher stress and super cropping today. Two days back we made the switch and set the lights to 12/12. Now the flowering stretch will begin, thus we bend the branches further outward in preparation for the canopy. When I do this I notice the branches are thick and sturdy, with no breakage at all unlike my previous grow, the gelato 33. I snapped some branches applying the super cropping and just normal bending with those. It seems like the fan (I didn't have a good option previous grow, hence the flimsier branches there) but also this lighting and soil regime are topnotch, asides from outdoor I haven't seen such lush bushiness yet, even on a more runt-like plant. This MarsHydro SP3000 is still performing great, such controlled temperatures, such an ocean of light. I only wish I started growing with this earlier. Thanks again @MarsHydroLED for trusting us to test your mighty flagship light. It is so well made, it oozes quality, I just want to touch it every time (also to check if it stays cool) and it is just sexy, slender, and compared to my other 300 watt light, a completely different spectrum and clarity. If you are looking for new lights, look no further. At www.mars-hydro.com they have excellent and unbeatable deals on tent and light combinations where you practically get a tent for free, it is ridiculous. I was afraid the light wouldn't cover the sides of my tent with my 4.5-foot space. Penny at MarsHydro had to laugh at this a bit, said not to worry. What an understatement. This light could signal to other galaxies. I sincerely recommend good sunglasses with this light. Only thing I'm adding is an infrared light Sunshine found. With this I'm going to simulate sunrise and sunset and try to prevent stress by easing the light in and out, like in nature. We are in flowering now, very excited to see what she will do here. What can she perform? Will she cover the net? Will she deliver gorgeous buds, like she is known to do? On these cliffhangers I hope you will tune in next week for more gorilla-related plantporn... go on... you know you want it. Hug Bud!!

Day 29 of vegetation: raise the humidity to 60% trichomes on the leaves can be seen with the naked eye. I have never seen trichomes appear on vegetation before Day 31 of vegetation: remove 10 large leaves and made an LST. Now literally ALL the lower leaves receive 100% of the light After 35 days of vegetation, the plant looks like it ready to start flowering. Watering volume week 5: Day 29-35 - 400 ml per day

She is getting so dense and very sticky freaking covered in trichomes

Day 33 Update Wow!! So for the first time I have opened up GROWDIARIES on a computer, and I must say this is a much better layout and easier to use than my cell phone. I will be doing updates like this from now on. So with the help from @DabCrab I finally came up with a nutrient schedule that I will stick to. I have honestly been all over the place when feeding and it was time for a change, so this will start next feed. I also have decided to switch my light cycle to a 12-12 to determine gender of plants, and will revert back to veg cycle once what ever males are pulled out of the room. I plan on vegging for a very long time, have not decided on how many weeks. I guess however long it takes to fill up the scrog net that I made. I will make the light switch at the start of week 6. Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Stay safe, stoned, and happy

Soon coming
