Happy New Year!!! Over the past week I cut down 2 of the 3 Blackberry’s, they are hanging and drying now. The 3rd is definitely looking better than the first 2. I think the first 2 will probably be turned into edibles, rather than smoked. The 3rd is looking much better overall and especially in terms of bud development, she will probably be smoked. The lights went off before I was done taking pics, so some pics will look a little different. The pics with the lights on I had to color correct, they still look a little more on the yellow side than in reality, but much closer to reality than the pre-color corrected versions. Once the lights went off I turned the flash on for my camera, those pics did not need any color correction. You can see the differences in the pics of all plants, the first 2 are color corrected with the lights on, the last 2 are taken with a flash and no color correction. I read several books on cannabis over the past few days, some good, some not so much. One that I liked was “Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields” by Read Spear. This book is available on Amzon’s Kindle Unlimited service, which costs $9.99/month, but they offer a free 30 day trial (which is what I’m using at the moment). Reed’s book is broken down into 3 sections, the first and third go fairly deep into the science behind growing, he does a pretty good job at breaking it down in easy to understand terms, but I had to read several sections 2 or 3 times to really get it (or just move on with as much understanding as I could digest). The second section is the nuts and bolts of growing. Most was a review but there were several topics he touched on I hadn’t thought of in a while. And again its well written. He also offers the section only in a separate book called “Small Spaces, Big Yields”. If you are not interested in going deeper into the science behind growing, “Small Spaces, Big Yields” is what I would recommend (if interested in reading books on cannabis). I took some notes while reading and I’m going to add some of these notes in my dairy updates over the next few weeks. This week I’m going to include a note on electrical, this should be a fairly basic concept, but it is super important IMO… “Electrical Items In a sealed grow room or in a tent, you will have water pooling on the floor from time to time. There is no avoiding this. Mop it up when you see it, and never put your electrical gear directly on the floor. Never. Not even for a moment. In fact, let me stress this point in bold capital letters. ALL ELECTRICAL GEAR MUST BE MOUNTED SECURELY ON A WALL OR TENT POLE.” -Read Spear I’ll add more did bits like this in my diaries over the upcoming weeks. If anyone has any good book recommendations please let me know in the comments. I’m looking for books that might not be as popular as the ones by Jorge Cervantes or Ed Rosenthal (I’ve read those). I did just order “True Living Organics” by The Rev which I’m looking forward to reading. But I’m looking for more. I really want to step it up and learn as much as possible. Your comments, feedback and recommendations are very much appreciated! Until next time, Happy Growing! Stay Positive! And have an amazing 2019!!!

Hello Growers and Sponsors Hope you all are doing well 🙏 my lemonade haze girls have doubled their mass in the last 2 weeks, they smell much more intense now, when i smell the buds or rub the leaves it actually smells like i cut open a lemon 😀 i will now reduce the fertilizer dose even further but leave calmag 1ml/l for another week, the trichomes slowly turn from clear to milky and the end is near. I will harvest when I have at least 100-90% milky trichomes and 10-5% amber. these plants have not shown any signs of overfeeding, stress or any other disease the whole grow so far, i am slowly reducing the light intensity as well as DLI, the plants are in the final stages of flowering. Thank you for taking the time to accompany and support me 👊 I appreciate it very much, stay healthy friends 🙏

All three plants packing on weight, Buds fatter than my thumb! Full of color and smells super fruity, Very excited to grow this girl out and taste her.

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

Excited I got to run and test this genetic. Was very pleased with the result and would run it again. Very frosty, Dense nugs, and great fruity/gassy aromas. Great flavor, nice hybrid.

Esa familia, otra cosecha más, no tan contento esta vez la variedad en si está buena pero su cultivo es algo complicado y no está estabilizada la genética, los días de floración son más de 55 días como dice el banco,más de 3 meses de floración con estos ejemplares... Pero mereció la pena esperar el colocón es bastante fuerte, para mi que , sativa dominante a mi parecer, 24% de thc , cruzada entre cookies x OG Kush , muy productora en general. Así esto es todo , pronto más trabajos, buenos humos familia.

***** Week 6 December 23 to 29, 2020 - Days 36 to 42 from germination ***** Week 5 was certainly a stretch week and she grew tall baby👊👍 She has been doing well with her crack on the main stem from early on and when I pulled her out you could hardly tell where it was. Perfect......because she has been growing hard she is getting a little uneven in her canopy but I have been watching how hard I pull on her main stem. Correcting the situation as best I can now but with only in 3 gal pots its tough to get out further on her long branches and tie them down. Could get creative with Bamboo and creating ties but those suckers are eye pokers and I don't use them too often. Will just deal with the potential difference in height and keep pulling her harder now that I can. Silica increasing this week as well now that we close to the end of being able to shape her lower branches. She needs the strength now to defend any potential pests and to growth thick stocks so she can support the bud weight. Since she has been going hard it was time to pull her out and start trimming some lower branches now. Yes she is an auto and many say to never remove leaves, never mind branches, but I do and want to allow her to focus on top buds. I will accept a potential decrease in yield but since I am already performing LST and working with more than one top.....a gain in one area can be offset in another without too much pain😜👍 Stripped quite a few leaves from this girl. She is thick at the bottom and in the last week her node spacing has gone crazy on the 8 main branches😲 I will trim the bottom as it just doesn't get the light intensity down below......even with opening the canopy up lots those sites are still 12" to 18" lower than the tops at this point. Her side branching is really thick and looking awesome. She is showing signs of wanting to grow some big buds😀 She will be able to support the weight at least.........really nice selection Fast Buds!!!!!!! Little more detail........ Dec 23/20, Day 36 - Feeding day today. Continuing with first weeks flower feed of 2ml/L. - 2L feed with Micro, Bloom, Magnifical, AstroFlower, VeloKelp, Natures Candy @ 2ml = 800ppm and 5.8pH. - add microbes again on the next feeding!!!! Dec 24/20, Day 37 - She was given 1L of feed left from yesterday (both her and Orange Sherbet.......J47 is on a two day dry.) - Her color is good but still quite yellow in the new growth points. - pull out tomorrow and clean up lower growth and check runoff numbers. Dec 25/20, Day 38 - 2L full feed again with the same 2ml/L feed as earlier in the week for all the autos. Added AN Rhinoskin as well for silica. - 1150ppm and 5.9pH going in.........pots were really dry and perfect pretty well. - Runoff was 925ppm and 6.1pH.........I can live with that at week 2 flower😁😁 Dec 26/20, Day 39 - 2L full feed again. Had mixed up 12L yesterday. - Added 2ml/L of Microbial Mass and Piranha = 1200ppm and 5.9pH. - The girls needed their microbe allotment as we get closer to the end. - Bacteria added to help keep some of the nutrients in the media as she finishes. - next watering is more of plain water and add Terpinator. Dec 27/20, Day 40 - pots are light again in the afternoon. - 2L watering with Magnifical, Rezin, and Microbes @ 2ml. Terpinator @ 3ml = 400ppm and 5.8pH - She taking the nutrients but backing off the ppm on this watering a bit. - noticing some clawing in the girl.....start of some excess nitrogen or environmental??? Keeping an eye on it👌 Dec 28/20, Day 41 - the girl is hungry so feeding again today with full nutrients. - 2.5L watering today, stepping up from 2L volume. - Full line of Remo, all 6 parts plus silica again @ 2ml = 1150ppm and 5.9pH Dec 29/20, Day 42 - another feeding in the morning today. Pot was really light. - 2L in the morning giving with same feed of 1150ppm and 5.9pH. - her colour change in the leaves is really popping out now. Bud is all purple but the leaves are turning purple as well. - noticing leaf colour is getting even to the other girls for green. No need to compensate any deficiency anymore......in fact watch over feeding now😀 - in the evening, 12 hours later, pots were pretty light so gave another 1.25L of feed that was left over for 16L mixture yesterday. - she had a total of 3.5L feed today......water tomorrow and not feed. She is doing very well at the start of the week. Canopy height is good but her node spacing has me concerned a bit. Looks like we are going to get some beautiful colours from this girl as her buds are purple already. Leaf colour already has a yellow huge to her........Purple Lemonade baby......on point!!!!.......nice work Fast Buds.......this strain is making a lot of growers go, DAMN she's freaking awesome😁😁😁

Big Lemon needs a stronger dose of calcium in her next feeding. I normally dont have nutrient probs but ive never had to feed a plant this big and hungry 😯

Day 13 L power: 40% The little girl grows and looks healthy. In this run I will top her 1 or 2 times. But I' m not shure about the mainlining. If I train 1 or 2 nodes. Without a scrog net, I can't work with the run due to the low grow room height. We will see

Week 16 for Gelato 41 by seedstockers Shes bounced back from her massive defoliation... handled the heat well. Its a little hard figuring out when these 250L pots need to be watered/how much water they actually need😅 I gave her 7L of water yesterday afternoon but the temps are staying in the low 40's this upcoming week so ill be giving her more water this evening too. Want to pull her apart again very soon but to be honest im running out of space for her to get any bigger😬😂

This Strain stood strong even though I threw a lot of stress at her with moving into a new box and changing lights. 2/3 hermed a bit but it looks like there are only a few seeds produced. Very happy about the harvest when looking back at her come up.

3/11/2024: Start to week 7 flower. She is getting close to being done. Most of the pistols have turned orange, and the tricomes are getting mainly cloudy. Plan to give her another week or two in hopes she will swell a bit

Thanks for checking 😋

Thanks to all the sponsors of this run @Vipraspectra (LEDs) #xs4000 #p2000 #p2000 = 880watt full spectrum @Zamnesia (seedbank ) @Emeraldtriangleseeds @RoyalQueenSeeds Hey growers @IGROWNEIL (now on Instagram) this last week has seen amazing growth the plants have been super happy with the bigger feeds and the lighting moved to 18/6 saving on electricity is a must , 12£ gbp per day to 8£ gbp , saving 4£ a day is about 300£ per run saved which will now pay for new pots and more nutrients from @terra_aquactia and mabey there light mix soil The watered method of flood and allow to dry out works really good from seedling 🌱 Really happy with these results and really happy with my @viparspectraled lights #xs4000 and #p2000s also I'm using bio roots on this run which I do think is adding to the overall growth formation along with the lights themselves. Plants appear to have alot thicker stems from very young , plants all seem vigorous in growth and appearance seem all quite healthy plants . The new soil / coco @canna_terra professional plus is great stuff and also another factor I've changed to a lighter soil mix which is definitely helping out as it doesn't seem as compressed as the other soil without coco coir . @Terra_aquatica nutes being used along with @vitalink dairys have ratios being used but @terra_aquatica bio roots is doing me well and my plants seem to love the bigger feeds I will be moving over on my next run to @terra_aquatica nutrients line only I literally love the brand and how the owner relates to his own business and plant research 🙌 Extraction and intake @blackorchid @ramfilters All 12 liter fabric pots (amazon basic) and Thhefabricpot companys Soil - @canna_terra professional plus ➕ Had an amount of fungus knats that still presist having to make sure my soil is dry and ruffing up the top layer to stop any eggs being layed down the knats are a problem and this has put doubts in my usage of this soil again as I used about 240liters which is 5 bags at 18£ GBP each 90£ on soil to then cause me more money and additional problems in a big run isn't something I can let slide as this could seriously harm financially by reducing the amount at harvest. Okay plants @zamnesia Gorilla glue Doing amazing, thicker stems , bigger leaves , did notice some calmag or N defenices leaving me to increase calmag and nitrogen, but doing really well with the LST also and start to increase the size of the Bottom branches as we can create many tops instead of the one main on weeks 3 and 4 days 21 to 35 will see the main phase of stretching Girl scout cookie's loving the growth and the girl with the leaves purple 💜 underneath are pretty cool 😎 Runtz 🚫 automatic Study looking plant doing super under some LST hopfully see some more of the bottom branches catching upto the main colas before I hit them with netting @royalqueenseedsrqs #dosido Expected more from these girls but there starting to come back a bit faster now hopefully this keeps up @emeraldtriangleseeds #lemonhazeauto Doing well under LST being a sitiva I'm gonna watch closely for major sprouting. #headlightskushauto Doing well also under LST any defenices you see on plants will be me getting used to this new soil which I'm finding tempermental and a problem with knats #blueberryauto Coming back to life this little girl has surprisingly gained some traction keeping a close eye on her as I can't wait to finally try Blueberry weed , proper stuff 🙌 Thanks all for liking and commenting 🙂 Please follow me on Instagram @igrowneil

10/13: I fed her about 24 ounces of compost tea today. I had brewed 5 gallons of tea using 90% rainwater collected the day before, and 10% aquarium water. My tea contained about 2 cups of very rich compost a handful of biochar, a tablespoon of 7 diff species of endo-mycorrhizal fungi + 25 species of beneficial bacteria, 8 tablespoons of big bloom (mainly for the earthworm castings), 2 tablespoons of liquid molasses, and a tablespoon of kelp me kelp you. It had been brewing for 48 hours and was very frothy. I'm seeing signs of calcium deficiency on a few plants today, but the tea should correct that. I'll add cal/mag to the watering regimen anyway. 10/14: With so much light and airflow, she's drying out very quickly. I fed her about a half-gallon of water with grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, boomerang, cal-mag+iron, armor si, and soluble humic acid. I also foliar fed her a few times with humic acid and big bloom. 10/15: I foliar fed with big bloom and a little kelp a few times today and peeled back the insulation in the attic above the closet now that it's getting colder outside. It brought my daytime temp down to 81f! 10/16: I fed her about a quarter-gallon containing all the good stuff, at full strength for the first time. I also misted her really well with Ph adjusted spring water a few times throughout the day, just to rinse off any built-up nutes. She never showed any signs of a calcium deficiency, but I dosed her heavy with cal-mag with this feeding anyway. I did some leaf-tucking today, but have decided not to FIM her. I really don't want to increase her individual footprint since she has so many neighbors. 10/17: I rearranged the garden a little bit and sprayed her down with ph adjusted tap water a few times today. She's looking great! 10/18: Today, I did a myco root drench, with a little added boomerang for all the aminos, vitamins, and earthworm castings, and some cal-mag. I soaked her thoroughly with about 3/4 gallon and let her sit in her tray to soak it all up. I'll let her go completely dry before I feed her again so that she really drinks it all in next time. I lowered the lights to 20 inches above her right at dark, so she'll wake up to an especially bright sunshiny day! 10/19: I was gonna rearrange this morning and had no space to work with, so I moved the 4 smallest plants in the garden into the "upper deck." Now she has a little more elbow room. It's the last day of week 3 and I'm really impressed with her progress. If I had more space to work with, I'd definitely be doing a little training to try and maximize my yield from her.

We arrive on the Last week of the L.A.kush from stranger'seeds, i love These Strain and how beautiful cola's u get, i also take two cuts from it, to grow the Genetic. I do have still a small blueafghan+ sourdiesel , Also I think one week more and they're ready to go
