Some of the older leaves started yellowing, so I used a little bit of mineral fertilizer and also added a spoonful of bone and blood meal. Although I think it is quite natural for them to use mobile resources and for leaves to die off, I added some fertilizer just once, especially for the nitrogen deficiency. But it will be a one-time thing. Other than that, nothing special happened. I do hope that the buds are getting bigger, but right now, I don't see much progress this week, except on the buds on the lower branches. In less than two weeks, my grow tent and new setup should arrive, so maybe she will finish inside a proper tent, and I'll get my kitchen back 😂 She is really smelly right now.

Aug 30: it’s very hot still but buds are looking really good. Starting to fill in and getting sticky, but still several weeks to go. Likely late September harvest, but it will be a very big yield, likely 500g. Hopefully. Sep 2: heat wave is past and we now have a couple days of smoke from wildfires in the NWT. Decreased water volume from 9 L/day when it was hot to 6 L/day now. Sep 5: don’t take flash pics of photoperiod plants unless you follow it up with a red light.

Now we're growin'! Buds popping out everywhere, only two Viper Cookies still apparently in veg. The Lamb's in the 10 gal is really spreading her wings, I've had to adjust the pots a little to compensate for the overcrowding (a problem which I am happy to have). Chemdog is really budding strong, I like what I'm seeing but I hope they plump up. The smaller plants are making up for their size with an abundance of pretty little future nugs. Even the two Lemon OG's (not listed here, ran outta room for strains) are looking good and they were kinda a last minute addition. Had some bug issues--just minor though. Worse damage than that was done by me and my slightly over-zealous LST. The foliage is lookin good, rich and green. I've had to pull a good deal of yellow leaves lately, but I'm pretty sure they've just been used up and aged out. Lots of humid weather now, of course. No problems yet, though. As a preventative measure I've defoliated a little heavier than before, making sure every part of the plant can breathe. I use the morning dew as a guide-- with my location the wind almost always blows and by about 8 am I can see any patches of growth that might be too thick because they still have a lot of dew. So far this method has worked, and I don't see any major slow downs in growth from the haircuts. Been watching a lot of DGC and thinking Recharge might be useful, but I'm pretty stuck with what I got this year (too damn rooted to do much with the soil any more). Awesome place for info though-- the more I learn the more I want to learn. 8/22 -- Bud worms. Bastards. Heavy neem spraying will hopefully bring it under control. Been watching these girls constantly (lot of time on my hands at the right time of year), and the buggers sure made headway fast. Been finding a few, like one or two, each day. Today I checked and found over a dozen on one plant. I neemed the bulk of the plants, leaving two of the smaller ones un-sprayed. I couldn't spray the very tops of the bigger plants very well because they're topping 7 - 8 feet and too close together to fit the ladder (planning-- live and learn). I moved the smaller unsprayed plants to the side of the garden and I'm hoping that if they're really hell bent on infesting something they'll take the bait and at least leave the bigger girls alone. Meanwhile, remnants of the hurricane are headed this way keeping shit really really moist all around. So far so good for bud rot still, but it's prime time. 8/23-- Hmmm. What could tip a 5 gal bag, saturated, supported with lines, with a 7 1/2 ft flowering female in it, without breaking or even bending the plant? I want to believe it's not a human pest......but thinking my pest tried to grab her and couldn't get it past the lines. I'm all ears if anyone has other ideas (wind- no. deer- no.) So assuming I have an asshole in the neighborhood, it's back to old school. I really liked the idea of not worrying about them so much, I thought poeple might be better these days, but I guess not. Time for stakeouts and hidden cams. 8/25-- Had to spray BT for the damn caterpillars. Not a lot of damage so far, but keeping an eye on it. Fortunately the buds are still tiny so easy to spot damage. I'm really pleased with the number of bud sites in general, especially on the Lamb's Bread. I'll have to climb the ladder and see if I can get some good photos next week. No sign of my human infestation. Been watching close and checking cams and nothing. The flash went off a few times, but I was out in less than a minute and saw nothing, and nothing in the photos it took either. Ganja ghosts???

Growing feet. Reaching great height might have to back bud it . Has some smells. I can see the oils protruding from the leaves pores leaving a powerful aroma overall stenching up the whole pad.

03/06/2022 #6 is (2 others 1 week behind) 43 days today hopefully go to 63-70 days. Seed are looking good on #6 should be good amount to play with.

Start of Week 3 flower | cut only 2-3 leaves blocking light | stretch is done End of Week 3 flower l gave them another light defoliation to have the whole canopy reaching light | buds really start to form rapidly | smell is also really nice Currently running : 28° C at 50% rlf 630 - 750 ppfd 1200ppm CO2

As you can see she is in full flowering mode right now. She has slowed down the vertical growth and I can see “hairs” everywhere. During this week I took off some fan leaves as advised by the breeder and I will probably do it again in week 5 of flowering. Despite feeding her with solid dosages of BAC nutrients some of the lower leaves have turned a bit yellow so I will increase the amount of “food” she gets from now on. I have ramped up the power on the Bilberry lamp to 80%. I must say this lamp is out of this world. I hope the end product will reflect it. Hope she keeps going good.

This plant is getting really big it looks lovely through out about to start feeding a little lighter do when the buds come in the smell is beautiful it’s smells gassy & stinky. Week 5 check out my other grows (Jungle Verde, The New) & follow my IG @therealterpio

Week 10 - she stop stretching finally and the high is 93cm and I can see that the buds are stretching instead which is good. Looking forward to see how fat she will be, I think another. 3-4 weeks and flush time.

Good week

We are starting week 5! It’s incredible how strong she’s growing since entering the pre flowering stage. One week after entering preflower she’s stretching nicely and nearly covered the whole space. After 7days from pre flowering I did another defoliation to improve airflow and focusing on forming potential buds. Week 5 went smoothly and I’m still happy with the results and growing in coco. Looking forward to week 6!

I poured 10 liters rainwater trough the coco to get old salts gone, now ill feed her normal again with 1ml/l calmag and 1.2gram/liter drypart bloom

She had her last fed last night, microscope shows a few oranges so I think it the final week/10 days hopefully flush time! Oops forgot the videos

Last 2 weeks before I put her in a 3 day dark period! I’m no longer giving any nutrients and I’m letting the plant deplete all the nutrients in the soil, I’m also only using water for now own. I have her in a 11.5 hour light schedule. There’s slight nutrient burning too on some parts but it’s nothing drastic.

Iniziamo bene con mister Barney farm...poi con la runtz non si sbaglia mai... forza 💪belle piantine mie datemi tanti fiori 😂😂😂.la runtz è sempre una buona scelta

Got environment mostly dialed in thanks to an additional cool air intake fan, can get 450w mh nice and close for good penetration. Beginning the process of Lst, I’ve wrapped some plant straps around the base of each plant to anchor them, and straps at the top of their stems, giving them a slight bend. I’ll slowly increase the bend over time in order to avoid possible damage. The Gelato OG seems quite vigorous compared to the Widow so far. Starting to bump up nutes, runoff @400ppm -10/28

I really loved growing this strain. It was easy and stress-free. She seemed to be quite resistant to pests (my tent had a thrip invasion and it didn't seem to affect her too much). I will definitely grow it again in the future. Amazing tropical and fruity fragrances, I don't even know if I will be able to wait until it's cured before I can try it. It grew short and stout, almost buds only. I reckon it could have been a bigger plant if I would have started it under the Mars Hydro instead of on my balcony. Next time I'll do better 🙏 Overall great genetics from RQS, highly recommended! 🙌 **SMOKE REPORT UPDATE after a long and nice cure** The flavour is exactly what you would expect based on the delicious fragrance. Happy uplifting high. It's probably one of my favourite strains and it will most certainly come back in my grow tent.

For my first trial run with Grand Cru Genetics, I’m definitely impressed. This strain shows great potential for flavor lovers and will be interesting to run again in the future. With a little more care and training, she could have achieved more, but she stood in the far corner of the tent and was difficult to reach. Drying takes place in our Dryomat; delivery of the Dryrocket has been delayed. According to my information, it will not arrive until October...perfect for winter growing. Photos are wet buds. Once they are dry, the smoke report will follow!!! See you again in 2-3 weeks 😇😇
