Hey everyone! Just a quick recap from last week: we've removed the LST bands and are letting the plants grow freely. They are looking fantastic and have developed a very dense canopy. 🌿 Now, we're at a bit of a crossroads regarding when to start the flowering phase. The back three plants from our second grow are only 23 days old, and I’d prefer not to have any plants outside the tent. Today, we're changing the light cycle from 20/4 to 18/6. This will give the plants more time to rest, which should help them grow even stronger. 🌱 The 18/6 cycle means 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness, providing the plants with more downtime to recuperate and grow. Excited to see how they respond to this change! Day 45 (First Grow): Hey everyone! Exciting update: we’ve built a SCROG (Screen of Green) net for the plants! 🌿 For those who don’t know, a SCROG net helps to train the plants to grow horizontally, which maximizes light exposure to all parts of the plant and promotes more even growth. We're using it with our six plants to ensure they all get plenty of light and develop a uniform canopy. We've also placed a hygrometer among the plants to measure the humidity between the leaves. We've noticed that the humidity sometimes exceeds 70% in those areas. Do we need more fans, an intake ventilation system, or would a dehumidifier be a better option? We’re leaning towards adding more fans to improve air circulation, but we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! Day 46 (First Grow): Hey everyone! Exciting news: the plants have names now! 🌿 This will make it easier to identify and keep track of each one, especially if they get moved around. It should also help you all follow along more easily with the pictures we post. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to watch them grow and thrive!

One was more bushy and was a little behind. As I said, they had some heat stress and I think the 15-liter pots are too small when the environment is hotter. Still, they are totally worth growing and joy to smoke. They don't need much curing and the weed is very very strong. Going to try this strain again very soon!!

Hey guys how is it going? This time we are trying new things Introducing techniques like Defoliation, topping, HST, LST This week we wanted to make sure The energy of this girl goes directly to the buds and hopefully we get a bigger and better yield than before in our past experiences Alright guys so here's the conclusion of this week #8 From day 1 til the end of the week Check out the pictures and videos Alright guys let me know your opinion If you have any tips please let me know as well, I'm also planing on adding molasses later on floating stage also this fertilizer named beastie bloomz not sure if you know it but they say it helps you get weigh on your buds, please let me know if you have work with it before in the past and if is good as they say it is Also about the molasses when and how is the best time to add them? Thanks a lot and have a wonderful week Happy growing peace and love friends

Day 21 The plant looks more on the sativa side and is already showing a small bud, indicating that it's almost entering the flowering stage. However, there's still a chance that it will grow more in size. That’s why I’m very optimistic that it will still gain some height, if not she will be Chopped down

Week 18 Daylight 12h40 - ☀️7h40/20h20🌙 🌈Weather changed a lot during this 2 week, alternating sun and rain with medium temperature: low in the morning 8°C and 22/24°C the afternoon. Cold wind: Autumn is coming soon! 🍃 This is the middle of the flowering cycle for 2 plants and the beginning for the others; and it’s harder than I imagined. Interminable war against pests: caterpillars and leafminer flies (+ guest :aphids). However the environment is clean, there is some sticky traps, ventilation and preventives treatments (Neem Oil, Garlic/Laurel) but infestation are a recurring problem 😩. Majors reasons of the proliferation are the hot temperatures in greenhouse, the quasi inexistants natural predators, humidity, plants proximity. September is the reproduction period of the cabbage looper: a butterfly which lays eggs on plants giving some hungry caterpillars. Some others pests are attracted by the nitrogen added in soil (batguano) I did a serious defoliation, continue to check the plants morning and night to catch intruders, sprayed regularly with Neem oil. For the moment the flowering continues. -Brake Pad Breath: plant has definitely changed of physiognomy, branches are covered by a lots of resinous flowers with a pretty good smell. Indica dominance. Around 3 or 4 weeks till the harvest. It will be long: the plant is a victim of pests and caterpillars and lots of leaves are damaged. -Flash Back#2: elegant plant, pretty good flowering since 3 weeks. Globally healthy despite of the pests aggression. Sativa dominance with long internodes distance and a vigorous stretch. -GMO x Zombie Kush: same difficulties against predators, late flowering, just initiated the flowering process but in a good way. -Royal Moby: the tallest one; around 170cm, not really adapted to dimensions of the growing space and not discrete. Plants was really shocked during the first wave of pests and after the sunburn. Late flowering, Sativa. 💦Watering : 2L/plants/48h -grower Master Floraison + Enyme -grower Master Floraison + pk 13/14 -grower Master Floraison + Cal/Mag

Requiere mantener bastante baja la humedad en las últimas semanas ya que lo grueso de las colas las hace propensas a la botrytis, ojo ahí. La planta en si es resistente pero es el grosor de sus flores, lo denso de las colas lo que te obliga a tener muy controlada la humedad en etapas avanzadas, creo que es más para tirarla programando la flora para el verano

The flowers have visibly swollen this week. The plant drinks a lot of water, to the point that I have come to give it 2L a day! It is entirely covered in resin as can be seen from the photos taken with the flash and the smell it gives off is extremely intense with a fruity flavour. Now the trichomes are mostly milky white, so from next week I will start the flowless finish for the root wash. I think the plant couldn't have come better than this, I'm extremely satisfied and I really think I'll be able to exceed 200g of final product once dried. Comments?

Aug 29th - I prepped the plant for Flower, half a week early, so week 3, is legit even though it sounds eager. Plant looks so solid - fed 1gal of nutes yesterday - 2nd Schwazze tomorrow… 20 days from the 1st (10th) 30th - a meal of NPK nutes was provided + Calimag; 1 gallon - Schwazze carried out (#2) 20 days after going into Flower -posted 2 shots from Aug 9th Schwazze event; my First. Wow what a change in 21 days - next meal is water and will be to Run-off as required to drop PPM below 1500 Sept 1st - Meal time today is Water to Run-off. The last big feed saw elevated ppm in the run-off and it was flushed till it dropped below 1500. That was not the end, as today it gets a proper flush of 4 gallons of pH’d water, followed by a fifth gallon with Basic NPK nutes + Massive Bloom (12ml/Gal) at 1300ppm - as the last (5th) gallon went in, the PPM of the run-off tested below 1500ppm. I call that even till next time. And now I know theres no excess chems built-up in the bottom of the Pot; Forward it is - targeted pH going in has always been 6.4. The runoff had a pH of 6.3 and that is an awesome number to confirm. Targeted meals are now 6.5 pH - now the Flush is Done, it is time to Top-Dress and Amend the soil again. Same ingredients; Bat guano, Worm Castings, Azomite, Kelp Meal and “Power Bloom” + 3-4 oz of Dried Crushed Fan leaves from other grows. This is Scratched into the surface and mixed as best possible. Water as needed. Nutes as desired 3rd - fed 3.5L of pH’d water @6.6 through the Amended Soil. - more growth over-nite puts her above 115cm - last day week 3. Buds are forming as white hairs are Out

Week 10 their wasn’t any real changes. Girl #1 starting to gain more weight. Her smell is also increasing. She smells like citrus/ pineapples undertones. Girl #2 still hasn’t shown any flowering. It’s been 70 days and I’m starting to get worried. I’m gonna let her go until girl #1 finishes than I will start to panic. I fear she may be a 100 day to flower pheno . If nothing changes in the coming weeks I may treat her like a photo or just get rid of her !? Thank you for viewing my diary.

Day 36 I guess I can call it bloom. Nice strong pistils shooting all over. She is the tallest so far making me raise my lights a little more. Day 38 Now Californian Snow is the tallest :) Ztrawberry stopped at a perfect height, it looks like she's gonna develop into a beautiful lady. Fat white pistils all over 😻 Day 39 Happy girl got 2500ml cm bg bb bh 6.3ph ~1EC She is perfect, symmetrical, stopped stretching at about 50cm, flowers are mostly leveled, branches are strong, leaves point up unless I water. I think she's also turning purple. Beaut 😻 Day 42 I think I saw some burnt tips but she still looks super happy and healthy. The most vigorous plant I've had.

In the beginning of this week ( Monday in the late afternoon) I started seeing some burnt tips. Not really a big deal if you give less nutrients in the future, but i don't like it. Thats why i decided to flush my plants and check the run-off. PH levels where decent but the EC was to high. Not a suprise because I forced them a bit last week by giving some more nutrients. So right now my PH and EC for the kushes are arround PH 5.8-6 with 1.3-1.5 EC and for my shamans PH 6.3-6.4 with ec 1.5-1.6 After my flush, I gave all the plants some Canna RHIZOTONIC ( root stimulator). I advice everyone to give root stimulator after stressing the plant out with like flushing. In this grow i always weight my pots, therefor i always know when to perfectly feed them. They dronk 9 to 10 liters of water/feeding in like 96hours(4 full days) which is insane because it wasn't that sunny/hot (evaporation) and they are not trees being in the open ground. and maybe the most importent thing is that normaly your roots will stress a bit because of overwatering(flushing) and will go into a shutdown or having a hard time for a period as a result that your pots will stay heavy(full of water) for some days. In my case, this didn't happen at all. Wednesday I sprayed all the leafs with Canna Cure for some nice leaf nutrients,getting rid of minor trips and to prevent other unwanted renters. Friday I started feeding them again with nutrients, like 2-3 liters each plant and today I gave them water 2-3 liters each plant with only Enzymen in it. It was a crazy thirsty week for them with an average of 1.6-1.7 liters a day😅 Sadly one lower branch got damaged and had to get rid of it but I didn't mind that much since these buds where far behind other buds in developement. I placed one bud under the microscope for fun and saw insane amounts of thc on it haha, and that for just week 5 of flowering for a outside grow. Made a picture of it, just take a look at it. - Critical kushes started getting into preflower, finnally!! but still, only 6 weeks left before it gets to cold outside. - Did some LST again because the criticalkushes are still stretching. They might still stretch for another 1 to 2 weeks, its getting out of hand haha. - Shamans and the critical kushes get different feeding schedules, Should had done that waaaaay earliyer but I didn't care about it until now. - Forgot to supercrop my plants LOL, for the shamans it is to late, don't want to stress them out in their stage, but i did in on the kushes, since they are only 1 week in flowering, still growing a bit, it would't harm them that much. No need for steering them around, already done that. Just doing it to stress them out a bit so they will send more nutrients to the branches for bigger yield. Have to keep remind myself that this is just an outside fun grow but I just can't help myself buying stuff and wanting to do more/better. Hope you guys enjoyed watching and reading.

Explosive growth this week! Must of doubled in size. Some kind of hungry insects, caterpillars maybe? Minor leaf damage, nothing major. Going to keep up with Neam/Aloe/Kelp spray. No rain in the foreseeable future, 26c every day, early summer for sure. Doesnt appear to need any extra nutrients, will add some more Gaia Green next week. I've had Lupins here for the past few years, which are Legumes and have great nitrogen fixing qualities, not to mention this entire patch of land had 20 years of old decaying blackberry bramble which were cleared 3 years ago when we bought the place, and the soil is some of the richest I've ever seen. No shortage of Nitrogen in there. I'll be honest, this plant is twice the size this time of year then the last 2 years I've been growing outdoors. I'm a little concerned I'll need my ladder come Oct! I did FIM once earlier in the week, will FIM ever 2-3 weeks till July to try and keep the height under control.

Welcome to week 3 of my grow diary. Since the plant has grown really well, I decided to top it. I made the cut above node 3. I usually do it above node 2, but I wanted to try something new this time and gain some new experience. Maybe it will work better this way than usual. In addition, I will now just let the plant grow without LST. If it is really necessary, I may decide to do it. At the end of the week, it had reached a height of 14 cm. There was no growth stoppage at all after topping. The Sour Jealousy seems really robust. FastBuds always delivers great quality. So far, I've only had one plant that remained a dwarf due to topping. So big shoutout to the breeder! See you next week

Awesome harvest and very happy with the outcome. Starting another journal next week. Will be even more detailed and I won't miss any weeks. I uploaded some video of my drying room.
