Allright! After the suspected light stress last week, the plants are in their second day of 18/6 light schedule and it looks like they are recovering. The front-left plant's upper leafs seem to be straightening out and overall the plants look healthier than last week 👌. I plan to measure the light intensity, but as things look now, there were two plants that were more susceptible to stress from the LED lights. It's not what you want in a grow, but it has taught me a valuable lesson. Don't just blindly assume a plant can handle 100% of the grow light in the third week ✌️☘️ In the end I don't think it affected the grow that much. The plant on the left corner in the back is a bit taller compared to the rest, but all plants look healthy and ready to start blooming! I have applied some LST clips on the side branches of the tallest plant. This guides the branches sideways and creates a more open structure. You can check them out at https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/growing/533-bending-clips.html 🌿🌿🌿 Mid-week update The plants have grown very fast this week and now they're all in bloom ✌️ Because of the fast growth, I've removed some of the fanleafs in the canopy, and fan leafs and small branches in the lower parts of the plants. I use the leafs for tea with liquorice in the morning and at dinnertime I chop them up for a mixed salad. The taste is really good and raw Cannabis is super healty as well.

Well met fellow growers 🌵💚 Day 53: slight lightburn on mutant cos akmost touching light. I would have HST the cola down if my irl fellow grower said if the light doesnt burn my hand it wont burn the cola badly😁 well it has slighty, but def better than potentially losing the whole cola. Other than that, lil bit of nute burn? Atleast i think so, will cut to amaller feedings. I fear that my offbrand light might not pull the watts i would need 😕 Day 54: Started to see lil nute burn and quite dark green tint on leaves so im thinking it might b nitrogen toxicity. Did. 2ml/L flashclean 1.2l for all. Gonna feed just ph water tomorrow snd check runoff, hope everything is well and i havent managed to lock these babies😉 Day 55: so after flashclean i gave girls 3l each ph water at 6.3. #1 came out 2.8ec and ph 5.8 #2 3.8ec and ph 4.6😳 #3(mutant) came out as 6.5ph and ec 1.8. they seem to do well but i gotta take a break from feeds w 1 and 2 Day 56: Despite horrible ec and ph readings on #1 and #2, they are doing just fine by the looks of it😅 either FB breeds the most beastly resistant seeds or my shit needs calibration. Prolly both tbh😂 Buds seem to get bigger and the smell is growing day by day. I already get pretty strong vanilla and pine?? Smell😍 hopefully the flashclean was right move to do! I think there may have been some lockout happening in all of em and thats why my runoff came that high. I hope flashclean got rid of the most overfed nutes🙏

I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱

Welcome back to the conclusion of the Lemons! Day 56 from seed on the dot and these two girls came down, which is crazy fast! I had originally planned to let these girls run for another week, but the stem snapping on LP#2 put an end to that as she wasn't recovering well by the next day and I thought better to harvest now. The trichomes are in a good spot anyway, so I don't feel like I've lost out at all. The wet weight is good, but massively inflated due to the stems, so I expect to lose at least 75% of that, but I still think these girls yielded reasonably well. I like to dry in 2 stages in order to slow down that initial dry as the humidity is naturally quite low here. By leaving the stems and most of the leaves until Stage 2 I can control my dry time a little better. I leave the buds on the stems until they go into jars. There's no hard rule to how long I leave between stage 1 and 2, it depends entirely on how a particular dry is going and I judge it as it goes. Dry took 6 days total, trimmed large leaves at day 3, the rest at day 6.

Day 21 I think her extra day in the paper towel germinating while I waited for equipment to arrive, may of sent her straight into flower... shes throwing pistils everywhere. Really jumped in side in 7 days 😂 Lets see how she looks in another 7 days. Turned the auto-pots + air-domes on to get water and oxygen directly to the roots 3 days ago. Feeding Cropsalt at 5.8ph, really enjoying it atm just look at their colour😍

Hi people I hope your all well. I have all cloudy from what I can see so far with slight few Amber's coming through sugar leafs.What you suggest for harvest? she is currently 56 days in roughly but is clean as tried as tried a small nug I dried days ago from lowers which seemed very smooth too smoke and as for the stone not bad at all. Flushed 1.5 weeks but as she was going too be a bonsai which got a little too bushy she is very short! I ended up chopping excess branches and left her too flower shot with her normal sister. Please note only 1 for the chop (maybe) the first 2 images and videos ✌️ the next few pics are her sister who I reckon a few days atleast or a week away 💚 suggestions welcome but be nice lol peace ✌️

Once again not much of an update as Iv been busy just a few poorly taken photos a few days into week 2 flower, bud sites are forming nicely, also give her a little trim after I took the photo to get better light penitration.... Took some more pics today (week 2 day 6) flower, not the best of pics but can only work with what I have unfortunatel. Give this girl a drink yesterday an think I over done it as she was looking sad few hours after watering, she seems to have bounced back nicely tho:) she looks light green almost yellow in colour around the flowers any idea what it could be? Always open to tips :)

Una rama quebró por mucha tensión pero se recuperará. Se regó de forma foliar con jabón potasico y tierra de diatomeas para reforzar la planta contra plagas y hongos

☆♡ Gorilla Cookies: I've noticed a leaf fell off the bottom. I think I may've overdone the nutes. She's growing tremendously. I top dressed with the below, as the rest of my plants. I will only use PH'd water for the next several waterings, probably with Biosys or seaweed. ♡☆ 16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

I have taken a few Pods that I use for my cloning machine and decided that I am going to try and use them as sure plants, so that I can take my water right up to the bottom of the basket this time and see if these can make my planting more consistent.   12/26/2023-Germination Day 2 Tap root achieved Planting Commencing 12/27/2023-Germination Day 3 Misted the dome lightly misted the rapid rooter and added a little water to the bottom of the pan to encourage root growth to the pan. 12/28/2023-Germination Day 4 Ground Hogs day 12/29/2023- Germination Day 5 She is up, she has broken surface, I misted the root riot, and around the bottom of the tray to try and entice root growth down rapidly. 12/31/2023- Germination Day 6 Ground Hogs Day 1/1/2024-Germination Day 7 HAPPY NEW YEARS!!.. I did it I planned it out so my planting day would fall on New Years and it worked.. Yay!!! 1/2/2024- Germination Day 8 Since the roots are not to the water yet, I am pouring one cup of water lightly on the hydroton around the lady to try and encourage root growth down to the water.. 1/3/2024- Germination Day 9 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water. 1/4/2024- Germination Day 10 Ground Hogs day, will continue until roots hit the water.

Bud washing is still fairly controversial. I do it because this is a personal crop, i dont have much time or space to toss a plant that might show a bit. Jorge Cervantes does it, so can I! Updates to come!

We are going to be slowing down on the watering and the nutrients for CH#1 through the next couple weeks Im seeing signs of stuff I dont like so Im correcting it now before it gets outta hand . Other then that she's growing well pushing for her third node . Won't be long now till she explodes in growth !! We are dialing the nutrients back to 1/4 strength and I wont be watering as often till we back on track . Im alternating between feedings so that I dont overload the medium . I'd like to thank everyone who stops by the diaries ! A special thank you goes out to my followers that stop in daily and weekly for the updates you guys rule ! 😁 -Happy Growing!

20.11.2022 139 giorni dal seme al raccolto 79 giorni di fioritura Pianta produttiva, forte, produce cime lunghe e dense, non eccezionale secondo me il risultato organolettico,preferisco varietà magari meno produttive ma con sfumature di profumi e gusto più marcate. Ho dato comunque un buon voto per la produttività della pianta, ma non credo che la ricoltiverò in futuro.
