Grow Diary Update: Week 5 - Pre-Flowering and LST Evaluation Entering Pre-Flowering Stage At the end of last week, the first pistils appeared, marking the beginning of the pre-flowering stage for my plants 🙌 There's much to manage now. To support optimal stretching, I've adjusted the nutrients following 2/3 of the Terra Aquatica feeding schedule: CalMag: 2 ml/l (Starting EC before adding nutrients: 0.45 mS/cm) Grow: 1.33 ml/l Bloom: 1.0 ml/l Micro: 1.33 ml/l The nutrient solution now has an EC of 1.3 mS/cm (638 ppm PPM-500/TDS) with a pH of 6.1. These adjustments aim to promote vigorous growth and prepare the plants for flowering. Weather and Growth With significant weather improvements, my plants are thriving at full speed. Every centimeter gained now counts towards maximizing the final yield, turning around from the challenging weeks prior. Pest Management I'm fortunate not to have encountered pests like spider mites, aphids, or thrips. However, the persistent snail issue remains. Nightly patrols with a flashlight have been effective, and placing old lettuce leaves away from the plants has helped trap and remove snails, ensuring the plants remain undisturbed. LST Experiment Results The two plants I trained with LST have responded admirably, showing healthy adaptation to the bending and vigorous growth. Yet, I'm at a crossroads regarding the upcoming stretch phase: should I continue to tie down branches to maintain an even canopy or allow natural upward growth to potentially boost vertical yield? Your Feedback Matters I value your insights on this critical decision. Should I proceed with low-stress training to control canopy height, or should I let the plants stretch upwards for increased productivity? Your experiences and advice are invaluable to me as I navigate this stage of my grow. Share your thoughts below! Stay tuned as I continue to document the pre-flowering stage and learn from the ongoing LST experiment in my grow diary!

Full bloom has begun…some of the larger fan leaves were removed for more light. I will be crossing this girl with some Khalifa Kush pollen in the 2nd week of flower for some custom bred seeds.

I am now putting my weekly comments in the videos. Watch the videos for updates.

Top Gun #2 finishing up nicely, checking for mold every day, humidity is back in the 50s. I just trimmed up Top Gun #1 yesterday. 9 day dry, humidity started dropping into the 40s the last couple of days. Only one other tip of the buds had some mold on it. I’m smoking it idc🤷. Total dry weight was 50grams minus the molded buds, I’ll make butter with those. Small plant but smoking it right after drying it was one of the best things I’ve tried, very proud.

Mrs Banner aka Bruce banner #3 aka the Triangle grow, is Budding away nicely. I've given her, her last feed of nutrients so she will be on just water now until harvest. I've been concerned shes a little on the small size but just as the name suggests she starting to "Hulk up." I'm hopefull of a harvest in about two weeks, but with a few grows under my belt, I know that 1) two weeks may turn into six 2) patience wins the grow game

Pineapple Express and mimosa orange punch will be grown dwc hydroponic. Blue dream and 1 pineapple will be transferred outdoors around 4/20. Main flower tent has jelly donutz and og kush ready for harvest, will be transferring the dwc from veg tent to flower tent around the same time Germination 3/9 Distille water, drop of calmag and voodoo juice. Cracked within 24hrs, transferred to seedling tray 48 hours

Lets see

well everything is going well without pests without at least not noticeable or minimal deficiencies surely, which leaves us calm, potassium soap and neem oil were purchased but it was not applied at the end, it will be the next one, after this pruning work a new one was installed scrog mesh and as you can see we also did with some or one at least the 2nd largest an attempt at sog, so it's like a mixture, then this big ugly mesh, we change it for an ideal girl what we want is that it doesn't grow too much in that The mesh helps us, well, we also change and go to flowering officially when we see that the plant is already flowering by itself, we spread a little so that the small 5 small pots grow a little more, the intensive pruning is to compensate for the ventilation that The temperatures may still be somewhat high, the air circulation in general, my closet is 60x60x160cm, so it comes in handy, it seems to me that we have carried out a good sativa plant by taming it in such a small space and it is I am proud, in addition to having the other copies as well, I hope I have taken advantage of the space and the light as best as possible, that was the idea.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme

Všechny rostliny dostávají pouze vodu. Sklizeň se blíží.

Great week! Didn't have much to do but feed and water, spent a bit of time messing around with camera angles , installed a second net and the new Beanhub vinyl! so excited to have these..

So Early Tangie, aka TheRealFoxtailQueen had made 72.03 of airy a bit foxtailed daytime smoke, she is a bit weaker on taste and strengh than her sister Fatty, the only other Tangie i tried already. So from all 3 curently choped and dried plants ( and i quess the rest ) she is the worst. Day 99. Strawberry Cough and other girls run fine, need to do defoliation for her, but work and future hollyday takes all my time away... Day 100. Two girls are jared, life is good,numbers are far off my expectations and i am happy with that ;))))) Day 104. Sativa pheno aka Lanky tangie falled today, her photos and videos in harvest diary, there i will put dry bud photos later. Strawberry Cough finally had time to go to hairdresser and thats what we got ;))) Never trimed any plant ever so hard as this round and its third defoliation round for her. Lets see. Pure ph water to both girls today. I never do any hard training with nutes in watering cycle, girls always get pure ph water. Strawberry Cough loves CalMag as FastDiesels. Have in mind ! Day 105. Strawberry took it like a champ and looks like a champ, believe it or not, flowers smells now with strawberries and thats above the moon for me ! Late FastDiesel will get last round of nutes on friday and only 3 weeks of water for her left. I am going on holidays for 3 weeks and one friend will be watering them, dont want anything of him than just 6.5 ph, strawberry will survive without one or two feeds, soil is ritch still tho, i hope at least ;))) We shall see .. End of week !

Hello growers ! This week I started to put cannaboost and terra Flores ! They grow higher every days and the size of the second branches is huge !! Good plants and very strong ! I’m quite excited to see the flowers ! I cut a bit of leaves that cover buds from the light ;) this session I don’t pinch the branches to let the stretch doing the job

The smoke is beautiful! and that is without cure. Flavours of fuel and citrus coming through, hopefully they come out after cure. Buds are solid but not that dense. But trichome covered buds to the point that it was very difficult to trim for more than 5 minutes without cleaning off my scissors. Recommend growing 4 or more of these to get a good amount on hand. very little popcorn buds. will update with weights and smoke after drying and short cure. She was a pleasure to grow! likes the calmag. so frosty and greasy! When it has been a day with high temperatures don't be afraid to feed twice! While packing on the weight she can be very thirsty. If fed well she will reward you with frosty hard nugs! Give this strain a try!

Ehi ragazzi! La ragazza questa settimana sta davvero cercando di "scalare il cielo" ,tutta la pianta le foglie le cime gli steli , sono tutti propensi verso l alto! È davvero interessante come genetica! Le cime si stanno facendo sempre più grosse e succose! L'odore di runtz sta iniziando a farsi sentire e le cime sono super appiccicose! Cosa posso volere di più?! Penso che la piccola ragazza mi darà grandi soddisfazioni! Grazie a Mars hydro e Sweet seeds che hanno reso questo possibile!! Buon 420 a tutti regazzz!!

Photoperiod buds 🤩 The smell is absolutely divine very fruity,sweet & tropical🍋🍊🍉🍌 Solid like a diamond 💎 Bay harbor butcher’s trim to show the density

Grandes acontecimientos, debido a la baja, por nacer macho, de una de mis plantas de la carpa principal, ahora esta gitanilla enjoyada ocupa un lugar de primera división y pasa a competir con otras siete plantas cultivadas en macetas de 11L, la gitanilla la cultivo en una maceta de 7L, pero ella está dispuesta a demostrar lo que vale, al tiempo he cambiado el horario a 12/12h... a jugar! Esta semana la planta ha estirado casi otros 20cm, las ramas son muy recias y yo la estoy intentando domar con ataduras por todos lados, pero esta gitana está dispuesta a mostrar toda la rebeldía que lleva en la savia. El consumo de agua es brutal y a la planta le encanta comer variado, yo cocino para ella con pasión. Bueno, como los veranos en GD son bastante aburridos hoy incluyo un video musical y que seguramente los antepasados de esta gitanilla bailaron... Vente conmigo gitana! Hasta la próxima... SALUDOS A TODOS!! ================================= Info de la cepa GYPSY KUSH: https://en.seedfinder.eu/strain-info/Gypsy_Kush/Kannabia_Seeds/ "una variedad única con un duende flamenco que no se puede aguantar y que solo puede venir del sur..."

Thickening up nicely. I recently did a light defoliation to make sure nothing was blocking the light. Nice medium sized buds. Nicely frosted. She smells delicious. Like cookies & cream. 😏
