Hi growmies, this week the twins were not getting any sunlight at all so they had to keep each other warm in their clubhouse😸 now they are on my gardentable. to catch the few sunrays .. Peeking through the clouds.. One in 11 litr pot is 43cm 5L pot is 69 cm 5L- strechting like a beast.. she still looks like a big freak with her deformed leaves but i feel all she needs is just a few days of good sunlight (she is a bit 'droopy') and she will make buds like a beast.. i feel it could go either way or she will be a big bust or shes gonna make the biggest buds ever! 11 l pot stands strong and trying to take care of the hedgehogs as good as possible has bigger trunck and is much more sturdy.. she wil not dissapointπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘Œ They are getting a little bit attacked by spiders and spidermites in their clubhouse.. but thats no biggy few snails too.. but they are big enough to not get bothered by them and usually i catch them in their tracks (both, the spiders and the snails ;)) ihave only found one 'lil snail in my cheese..but have done no harm, just dazed from the cheese smell i think πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘Œ think gonna put some copper tape around the pot, just to be sure no snail invasion comes becouse it is so rainy.. but im just glad there are no caterpillers (yet) they can really munch on the plants! see ya next week with another episode of the Cheese Twins Chronicles hopefully in full sunlight! happy growing for all✊

Day 74 - still growing, but not looking as healthy as I'd like. Leaves are curling downwards at the tips, and tips turning yellow/brown. I think this is a one of the classic signs of overwatering and over feeding, so have cut back nutes and watering, and will re-assess next week whether or not to go back to old schedule. Have also diluted the reservoir, so oping that a slow gradual easing will sort things out. She also looks quite stunted in growth to me - she's all of 50cm tall. The RQS data sheet advises 80 - 120, but she has been in the RQS Royal Dwarfs shadow, so perhaps needed more of the light earlier on. I was warned about overuse of the PK nute and am think I've learnt my lesson here. Fingers crossed all will be fine. On the up side, she's defintely flowering. Day 75 - might be wishful thinking, but tip curling seems to have been brought under control and looks to be recovering. Phew. Day 77 - definitely wishful thinking. Did some readings, and found ph has leapt up to 6.67, and ppm at around 2500. will ph down a little later, and continue to monitor.

This is the girl's final week. The wife will be happy the stink is coming to an end. Will be stripping off all the useless leaves at this point, getting them ready for a quick trim. The ppm in the planters is down under 200 ppm now Kannabia genetics made these easy to grow. I had no problems growing these 3 different strains out. They all flourished except for 2 of the smaller ladies. They were a little overfed as I treat all girls in the tent with equal amounts of everything. Those girls still did well, just not as well as their bigger sisters. The Kritical will be coming down first as most of the pistols have oranged over and the trichs are clouded over. The Super OG will be the next to come down. The buds on these girls are so hard I think you could knock someone out, if you through it at someone's head lol.... The Hellfire OG will be the last to come down as their still throwing pistols. Mostly still white and gaining more weight. I gave 3 of the seeds to my bud and he grew his out under cmh lighting. Plants stayed much more compact and he just finished his trimming. Under the HID the plants get much larger and buds twice the size. I gave him the same feed my girls got through his entire grow, mixed and ready for him, so it was mostly lighting that made the difference. My climate controls are also much better, but he is very happy with the amount he trimmed from each plant. Grade A looking weed for sure.... Thanks for the looks and like my frinds. πŸ™

Day 64. Another week on the calendar! Time is flying but also feels like an eternity. Still can't tell if there is any signs of light stress from swapping to the QB this late in the grow. I do think the bag seed in veg sharing the tent is possibly showing signs of trouble (https://imgur.com/a/9Sn0gEZ) and would love if someone reading this could take a look and let me know. Other than that, nothing new today, won't water again until tomorrow maybe the day after. I've noticed the environment in my tent has become very consistent since swapping out the blurple. Not sure if it's connected but the RH has dropped to a steady 44% ish and the temp never climbs over 25. Loving it so far! Day 64 update, my loupe and PPM meter arrived. Tested the run off and found it was over 2200 PPM. Flushed her with around 5L of pH'd water, got the run off to 1000. Leaving it there for now as it seems to be a recommended amount for late flower. Will probably only give her plain water for the rest of her time, maybe one more light feeding, then continue to flush it down in the next couple of weeks. Took some test shots with the loupe but sadly I don't think the magnification is strong enough to clearly identify the stages of individual trichomes. Maybe I can play around with it when I take her out of the tent again but that won't be for some time. Let's see how it goes! Day 65. It's almost been 24 hours since the panic flush. She seems to be doing fine other than showing stronger signs of yellowing in the fan leaves. Not sure if its something to worry about or part of the end of life fade? Tried to get a few different trich shots from various flowers but again, the loupe is probably not strong enough to accurately tell. Wondering whether I should try to treat the yellowing or leave it. Day 66. The yellowing continues but at this point there is probably not much to do about it. Gave her a small feeding PPM'd to 300 to see if it helps get her over the finishing line. Tried checking trichomes and can't really tell if some are cloudy or all still clear. Definitely no amber yet though. Hoping for a couple more weeks at most before the chop! She puts off different levels of smell day to day as well. Was a bit more pungent today, very nice smelling. Day 67. She hasn't lost as much leaf as I was expecting considering the last few days progress. Trichomes still look a while away from turning and mostly looking clear. Still has lots of white pistils too. Humidity has been a bit higher than I'd like since watering but I try to keep good air movement and a negative pressure in the tent which will hopefully reduce risk of bud rot. Smelling good but wish she'd have covered herself with some more trichomes! Day 68. All the yellowing/dying leaves have given up and fell off. Not worried as I think I have spotted the first signs of amber trichomes on the main cola and one other. Would love someone to take a look and let me know! Day 69 (nice). Going along fine. The fading seems to have slowed a bit and haven't noticed it spreading to the remaining sugar leaves. Definitely going to give her another 7 days and assess then if she needs to be chopped. Thank you to everyone who replied to my question regarding that. As someone said, if I had already started flushing, the timing was perfect, and luckily I had already been flushing her, so I will continue to do so. I gave her a heavy watering today with some runoff and I might do once more before she finishes? She isn't the frostiest bitch out there but she's mine and she taught me a lot. Hopefully some of what I've learned with her will transition well to photoperiods and the bag seed that is vegging next to her. I'll flip her into flower once this girl is done. Day 70. All her leaves are starting to fade now. There are still a lot of white pistils that concerns me about the timing. I feel like the plant will fade and yellow before it fully matures. The trichomes still look the same to me but I need to get better close ups really. She doesn't seem too frosty in recent days, not sure if it's in my head or not though. Still, hoping for a chop at the weekend if she finishes up, otherwise I might be forced to due to how fast she is fading. I think I also see some purpling on the leaves? Is that from the temps or from the nutrients being used up?

Day 53 Started to flush the Fruitspirit finally i see some amber trichomes πŸ˜† Flushing just with plain water PH 6.5 I will do closeups tomorrow! πŸ’ͺ Skittelz is packing on buds as she should.... She isnt the biggest fan of high nutrient content but looks like pure Indica power! Green gelato is an crazy.... I dont understand this bud πŸ‘½ She looks amber enaught to be harvested but she is still putting on weight and I wanna give her all the time she needs Day 54 Took some closeups today and as you can see only weeks to goπŸ‘» The smell of the Gelato is so overpowering I love it 😁 im so happy that I took some clones they will grow outside soon if when they are strong enaughtπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ˜… Today i added a fresh pack of TNB Natural Co2 Enhancer for the final flower weeks....

Hi, topman!! The hard work of forming the "@" form will go into the uppercase "a" form. Defoliation is waiting for this plant, it is growing very powerful and green, considering that the humidity dropped to 20-30%... and the temperature rose at the moment to 33.4β€’C... Useful mushrooms grow near the neighbor of plants, so soon they will be looked through from our substrate! Let’s see>>

Yesterday I discovered that, in order to change my timer, I didn't put the clock back onto it. Now they had 3 hours more light on the third day of flowering. Exactly the kind of oopsies this grow really doesn't need. But it happened and all back on a normal schedule, but I hope the OHS en GG4 aren't affected by it too much... One accidental re-vegging is more than enough for a year. Also, these sensitive strains can hermie on me for lesser reasons so from now on I'll be checking for male signs daily. The XTraKush is performing as advertised, with enormous stretch, these plants can go 10 ft up according to the breeder. So I'm tying them down and managing this to fill out the space. With all the stuff going on, this 'underdog' strain might even prove most resilient, when all is said and done. They seem to respond really well to the SP-3000 light and If you are in the market for a new light, consider this option from Mars Hydro. Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me try it, it is a dream of a light. I compared it to my old light again and PAR values are not even in the same ballpark. Thank you for checking my diary and taking the time to read my adventures! Hug Bud
