So i decided to experiment with the smart protein in a foliar spray recently and unlike other nutrients (this is not a nutrient or an additive!!!) well saturation is not desirable, in other words for other foliar sprays you want a saturated solution more or less, but with the smart protein you want to lighter... i think the leafs are really good at absorbing it, but it's so rare they end up "stained" and end up 'burnt', if you look closely it looks similar to Mg deficiency... but it's not and it's interesting lol. Nothing else to report, not feeding anything this week, i'll try to update as regularly as i can from now on aswell. Hope you enjoy these testers as much as I do ! 🚀

The Bubble OG plants are looking awesome! My tallest one is stacking up with super dense buds. It's crazy to think that the other one is almost ready to chop – the colors are so vibrant. And then there's that short and squat one with the purple leaves. It's definitely the oddball of the bunch, but I kind of like it. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Our beauty is looking good, isn't she? Her buds are thickening and the trichomes getting more of that gorgeous purple color. Some are already cloudy, few (most of them are damaged, probably due to looking at them under our mikroskopic lense too closely) turned amber. Harvest is set to be at week 8 in flower, so it's 2 weeks from now on, but we'll see how she develops by then. Smell-wise it's pretty bareable right now; we feared that our whole apartment would smell like a huge coffeeshop in amsterdam, but by keeping the door to our "growroom" closed you can hardly smell anything. It's only when touching some frosty leaves while defoliating that you get some of the strain-specific scents, mostly consisting of citrusy aroma with earthy undertones. Temperature is stable right now; the severe heat wave should be gone for the next weeks and by meagerly opening the door we can adjust the temperatures quite good. Humidity is also pretty solid thanks to our dehumidifier.

Overall, the Bling strain grew very weird initially, however, it did suffer some trauma and grew 3-point leaves for awhile. Resistance to PM was not good, but was able to keep it at bay until harvest time by daily spraying of Athena Mildew Control. I prefer to use this as I was using H2O2 and it burned leaves because of the pH change. My other harvested plant, Mimosa did not do as good from that spraying, but more on her in my other post. Getting back to Bling - I felt the buds thickened up nicely in the end, with hues of purple calyxes coming out as well as with some leaves. Smells wonderful and looking forward to smoking some after the cure. More to follow...

I tried wettrim and drytrim to understand what i prefer. The wettrim dried inside dryferm bags inside a drybox with ventilation that i build myself. The drytrim dried inside the tent and got a trim after 9 days. Havent tried the buds yet since they have to cure first but they smell very lemony so far. Curing happens in grovebags. Half of the bags also got a boveda to see the difference if its worth it for the future or not.

Harvest day! I left it without light for 48 hours. The buds are full of resin and very fragrant. Now I just have to wait to taste them, the hardest part. 😊🍀💪🌴

Super proud of the way the manifold is turning out. So symmetrical! Between now and the next update I’ll be doing some defoliating. Get rid of some of the lower fans, create some airflow up top, and possibly remove the lowest set of growth tips on each of my main stems. Plant is flourishing and healthy but those leaves could maybe be more vibrant. Might be time to start introducing nutes to the reservoir. Edit: Added a video of the plant after defoliating. Ended up removing the bottom 2 nodes of growth except for the outer fan leaf on the top one. Also moved the soft ties up one node and adjusted where they’re anchored so they pull the stems apart more. Can’t wait to see what she looks like in a week!

The XL Runtz are performing although one of the two also got stunted and is a little behind on her sister. I've been trying to balance everything. PH, temps, nutes.... With these smaller grow bags, the buffering capabilities of my super soil are less. Furthermore, this grow I didn't add the hydro corn, I didn't add the biochar either. The one 20 liter grow bag seems to perform a lot better while my experience is with auto's that anything over 15 liters should not make a difference. But the difference is: they keep their water better in the heat, they can buffer better and these are aspects that are important in a hot grow tent. The SP 3000 is still performing wonderfully! Very thankful for the opportunity to try it out and recommend this light to all!! So with this lesson learned I'm going to focus on better-growing auto's perpetually, I like how they perform and what they can yield in only half the time. The left one should be getting ready soon. The other and the Forbiddens will take two weeks I think... If they really recover. Thanks for dropping in again!!

9/6 Didn't do a video this morning. Went over again around noon and defoliated what needed it. I noticed what looked like stem mold on the special kush that those locusts have STRIPPED and saw what looked like mold but I left it and assumed it was just a bite out because it wad right at a node. I removed a major branch the other day. When I got back around noon the spot had tripled in size and was 100% mold. I cut that branch off too. The plant IS frosty but it's not ready. You cant see it but the calyx is pink. There are some branches that are completely stripped. They like the special kush for some reason and seem to target that. I should go over at night and see what I can see. Pink kush is flowering fairly aggressive. Not as much as the natural mk ultra though. I cant believe how fast those are exploding. As long as weather permits the pink kush will finish. I tried the special kush #1 which I'm almost done trimming and it wad amazing. Really eases anxiety and hits me square in the eyes. Very sedative happy strain. Tastes like pine, skunk and something I can't quite identify. Maybe the forest? I'm incredibly happy with the outcome.

Looking good so far, got a little bit of light burn at beginning of week but not to bad. Plants are really starting to shoot up now that the roots have hit the water. Topped all 4 at beginning of week 3 for LST prep. AC unit in tent is keeping it around 21 Celsius and water is keeping between 18-20 Celsius naturally so far. When the lights go up from 600w to 1000w though my tent will hit 25+ Celsius so I am currently testing a new water cooled thermoelectric peltier reservoir water cooler I built and I will be installing soon. So far testing it I can bring a 5gal bucket of water from 25 Celsius to 10 Celsius in about 6 hrs. So we will see what it can do with about 20gal of water in my set up once my lights get turned up. I will be posting pics/video once I get it all figured out. So far it’s way cheaper then a commercial water chiller and seems to work good.

Week 7 flower and it’s smelling lovely had to top dress the slurricane which is the big one at the back, she’s hungry all the rest will be alright for the last 3 or so weeks. 1 of the blackberry moon rocks, 2 nova og, 2 Purps og, 1 future and 4 mob boss I’ve started to give just water as they only have a week left.

Grew crazy. Really high. Co2 made growth explode and she drank like a horse. At her Height 2L a day. Nutrient feeds every day, or at min every other. Buds were huge but very airy. Very stinky zkittlez / Runtz typical smell. Nice Citrus fruity tones with earthy musky background smell & Taste, fruits range from apple to mango.. 8☆, if buds are been dense, would be 9 or 10. Yield was big. But too much foxtailing. Still a very strong 8 ☆ Rougly 1.5kg of high grade, some what larfy bud. But, still of a very high grade.

Helloing 👋🏻friends and visitors. Welclone to my Clone diary🙃 Clones are doing very well, did more defoliation trying to get more light to penetrate the plants and exposing bud sites. Feeding: Tue 14Nov: 2L each with nuts pH'd 6.35 Thu 16Nov: 2L each with nuts pH'd 6.34 Sat 18Nov: 3L each water only pH'd 6.5 -------------------------------------• Hope you enjoy the videos and pictures. Thanks for stopping by, likes and comments are appreciated. Keep on growin! Keep on tokin!!! 😙💨💨💨💨💨

WEEK 5 (DAY29-35) The Runtz are thriving so far. Both plants have developed eight evenly spaced shoots, and now I’m waiting for the flowering to begin. Additionally, I have trained both plants with hooks to create a beautiful canopy. I’m still excited and hope they continue to grow as well as they have so far.

Week 10 How did I miss in 3 months the part were autos can become hermi? 😢 Praying for the other 2 to be OK..
