Hey So I had to harvest a little earlier now because I'm going on vacation, so I'm done with everything 2 weeks before :) It was quite easy to grow it has a very strong smell and generally a strong effect it tastes sweet/sour/woody It is sticky and the buds are quite heavy I harvested 146.5g dry weight from a plant :))

Pics taken on day 36. Some, if not most of these are lightly seeded, I've checked for herms but cant find no nuts. Sucks but from what I've read and people I've talked to seems like it wont be too big of a deal in the end, some old school growers even prefer lightly seeded nugget, I've never tried it intentionally. The green buzz nutes are working well. I'm almost out of the more PK so I had to add herculean harvest liquid bonemeal to get the ppm where i want it while trying to conserve the Gbl to last the rest of the run. Didnt have the lady to take my pics today so I was limited and had to take them lefty one handed and was shakey af. #1 is killin it, havnt found seeds in her, stinks like citrus skunk #2 is fattening up I defoliated a little for space. Also smells citrus #3 was the runt but now shes lookin pretty good very solid structure heavy resin

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 56 Took some glamor pics with black background - not really for vanity (although there's a little) but for contrast. I see more of the lockout issue better in the pics this way. - on that note, the ph seems to be working as it's been two days since defoliation and knitting needle ph correction, and the progression is way slower than it was on the last leaves at 3rd day of identifying. So with that, room VPD of 1.07kpa seems stable enough with temps about 76F/65%RH/33%ILV I released the binds today to let her grow without them until they crowd each other too much and I need to restrain - so in a couple of days at max. Day 62 Transfer day. Although at first I didnt think I would be able to until Saturday, I got pots and plant saucers today, so I ended up going ahead and doing it. Started by calibrating/testing both meters. Double checked the soil mix from yesterday as the last time I used wood ash the ph rose the day after... however this time it was fully mixed to I wanted to know if there would be a higher ph - it was the same as yesterady - 5 reading avg of about 6.35 - the slurry of 1:1 soil and 7.7 ph water was tested at 6.3 also. Made about .75 gallon of 75/25 veg/bloom juice water at 500ppm feed water. Tried to ph read the soil in the pot and seen it go from 6.6 down to 6.35 (took video) in the dry soil, so I decided to use the 6.35 new soil reading and ph balanced the feed to that. Used the needles since it was 7 days since the last feed and I am using such a small amount. Poured over needles in 8 places and pulled each out to let water down. the vacuum pulls the water down when I lift the needles. Then I mixed 5tsp of Dynomyco to the 5 gallons of new soil and mixed really good. I placed a layer of perlite on the bottom of the 10 gallon pot and then layered in some soil. Then with the help of my wife we pulled the plant out of the pot and placed it in the 10 gallon. I place back in the tent and added about a quart of plain de-chlorinated water evenly over the new and older soil to help bind them. I reduced lights by 100ppfd to have about 505 and 500 at center colas and 430 lowest on outer ring with most at 450 and 470 highest. Soil to light is 35 inches and the plant is about 14 inches so about 21 inches from leaves to lights. I left the ring off today and will rebind as needed tomorrow after she rests. Today the leaves look wilted and limp. Also reduced humidity to 60% so 58 to 65% should be the range and the temps are 73F with the lights lower. PPFD was higher with the new growth - unbound and tucked in for better cola/light position, it reads 570 to 580 on outer colas and 590 at both center branches Day 57 Getting 1 more day out of free range growth before I tie her back against a ring. So in that time I decided to take a few vanity pics. Overall the ph block seems to have slowed or stopped and she's back to growing again. Will be thinking about flip at the end of this week or so. VPD same stats 76F/65%RH/33%ILV - ppfd right at max so I'll likely tie her off tomorrow. 605 600 in center and 580 to 590 at the outer ring. Day 58 VPD stats mostly steady again today - 76F/65%RH/33%ILV - ppfd was checked after LST, measured 600 at each center cola and the outer ring measured between 550 and 590 most at 580 So as I said, I did LST today to bind her more out while the 4 center 4 colas fill the middle. I had to bind to the pot base instead of the ring as the colas are still a little short to reach for binds at the ring just yet. There's a lot of space to fill and a few (about half) of the out colas are sideways for now. Had a break at the center cola when I tried to pull it back for bind. I knew to hold the branch at the node but forgot to do it here and heard a "snap" ... taped the crack and moved on - will monitor obviously Day 59 Did more light LST to ensure the branches are growing where I want. PPFD was mostly the same as yesterday only now there are more colas around 560 than 580 on the outer ring with the center colas at 610 and 590 (front cola was tied down to spread more away from the ring and fill center better. vpd same as past week or so 76F/65%RH/33%ILV Last feed was on day 54 and the soil still seems damp so I will check again tomorrow for the next day. (Day 61) The broken branch doesnt seem to have affected either side of the split as both sides seem to have grown a little with little to no wilt or drooping leaves. Im hoping it heals okay and doesnt delay flip to recover more; still monitoring. Day 60 Did some light LST today by releasing the lower binds to the pot and attached as couple to the outer ring now. So far I only have to bind a few as most are already holding where i want them to. Took the tape off the split and seen I didnt seel the gap closed when I taped it so now Im considering a drop of super glue to bind the branch back in hopes it grows onto the other side again. If not at least it would be more secure than it is now. And since it's a main split for 4 colas, I dont want too restrict it by binding at the split and potentially cutting off the nutrient pathways. ppfd after LST was 610 and 600 after more LST and the outer ring is still ranging 550 to 580 with more at 560 now. VPD same as I havent messing with any of the variables. 76F/65%RH/33%ILV Soil is a bit dry and it's been 5 days since the last feed flush, so I have about 3 gallons of tap burning of chlorine now for a feed tomorrow morning. Might still update again later if I find superglue... found some superglue - tried to take pictures but I cant hold, squeeze the applicator, and film with just two hands. So the idea gets through, I did both sides. On a side note I discovered a root popping out of the soil from the top. Covered it up but wasn't sure if I should be concerned. Day 61 VPD same as it's been for most of the last week - 74F/65%RH/33%ILV PPFD was recorded after I turn the plant a quarter turn for the smaller colas struggling to get over he ring's edge to have more light. Most colas at 580 with a couple at 600 and a couple more at 550 - center colas are hitting 615 and 620, but I have plancs to reduce in the next couple of days now On that note, the root growing out of the top tells me that she's hungry and needs more root space, even if that means growing through the top of the soil. So I plan to transplant to a 10 gallon and flip after the recovery. After reviewing more of NugBucket's journal I realized this is why he moves them when growing 16 colas. New pots should be here Friday so I should be able do it on Saturday. So I prepped soil (using more Happy frog with mycorrhizal fungi already growing in it for a few weeks) with de-chlorinated tap water Started by ph testing the soil and the water (4 readings on soil at 5.03 avg) - added about 1/2 cup total of wood ash to bring up the ph , mixed and tested again - added water at (about 7.7 ph) and tested again... last 5 readings in soil was 6.24,6.3,6.35,6.37,6.38 avg of 6.328 - covered and let rest until needed. Since I plan to transplant in a few days I felt it would be best to 'lightly' feed tomorrow, again on transplant day, and again 2 to 3 days later. Since my wife was taking pics at this time, I could only find this one to show the roots growing into the perlite then we planted it in the bigger pot. -------- (Day 62 root base picture from above) I have a hypothesis that says these are so short because I intentionally tried not to move the plant without the base stand to keep it from grinding these up and allowed them to grow in the last 2 weeks. This is that test picture/results. I like the idea of better/more drainage, but thinking I am doing more harm each time I hear those gravel pieces crunch as it cuts those and forces the plant to look somewhere else for root space. Notice how the small root lines have no finer pieces or laterals grow out from these - I believe that is because they are so new in growth and that the perlite chewed up the smaller laterals even with little to no movement over the last two weeks I would like to see a root ball experiment that exposed the roots throughout the grow but for now I can see these roots do grow into the base perlite and need to be handled carefully if you want them to grow more freely or with a standard pot size. As you can see Im not root bound but my plant thinks it is and is growing roots out the top.

Finaler Grow-Report – Lemon Cherry Gelato Mein erster legaler Grow mit Lemon Cherry Gelato von Barney’s Farm ist fast abgeschlossen – das Curing lĂ€uft noch, aber es ist Zeit fĂŒr ein Fazit zum Anbau! Setup & Bedingungen: Ich habe in einer Spider Farmer 90x90x180 cm Growbox unter der Spider Farmer SF-G3000 (300W LED) angebaut. Als Medium kam BioBizz Light-Mix zum Einsatz, gedĂŒngt wurde mineralisch mit Advanced Nutrients (Grow, Bloom, Micro). Um das volle Potenzial der Pflanzen auszuschöpfen, setzte ich auf Low-Stress-Training (LST) und ein ScrOG-Netz zur optimalen Lichtverteilung. Keimung & Wachstum: Die Keimung verlief problemlos – 4 von 5 Samen sind innerhalb von zwei Tagen aufgegangen. WĂ€hrend der Vegetationsphase entwickelten sich die Pflanzen krĂ€ftig und reagierten gut auf das Training. Die ScrOG-Methode half, ein gleichmĂ€ĂŸiges Wachstum und eine bessere Lichtnutzung zu erzielen. BlĂŒte & Ernte: Nach etwa 6 Wochen Vegetation leitete ich die BlĂŒtephase ein. Die Pflanzen zeigten eine starke Harzproduktion und eine beeindruckende Farbgebung mit einer Mischung aus dunklen GrĂŒntönen, lila Highlights und frostigen Trichomen. Das Aroma war von Anfang an fruchtig und zitronig, mit phĂ€notypischen Unterschieden in der IntensitĂ€t. Die Ernte fiel mit 300-350 g trockenen BlĂŒten sehr zufriedenstellend aus – fĂŒr meinen ersten legalen Grow ein starkes Ergebnis. Curing (still in run ): Aktuell lagern die BlĂŒten in 24 Mason Jars (16oz) und einem 2L-CVault, um das Aroma weiter zu entwickeln. Derzeit dominiert eine zitronige Note, wĂ€hrend die erhofften Kirsch-Terpene langsam stĂ€rker hervortreten. Mein Ziel ist es, die Haze-Noten möglichst gering zu halten und das volle fruchtige Profil herauszuarbeiten – der Prozess ist also noch nicht abgeschlossen. Fazit: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Grow – die Kombination aus hochwertiger Genetik, gutem Training und prĂ€ziser NĂ€hrstoffversorgung hat sich definitiv ausgezahlt. Die Buds sind harzig, aromatisch und vielversprechend, und ich bin gespannt, wie sich das Curing weiterentwickelt. Der nĂ€chste Schritt ist, das perfekte Terpenprofil zu treffen – und das Curing geduldig zu optimieren.

All good and looking happy. Started some LST. I was undecided if I was going to train these girls but decided to do it. I gave a 1/4 feeding of Advanced Nutrients Sensi Cal Mag extra. Now that I've had a good watering schedule down with slight dry back they have been surging with growth! One starting to flower fast and the other is right behind it.

E voilĂ ! Dopo 120 giorni e ben 7 ore consecutive di pulizia oggi finalmente ho raccolto. Aspetto di pesarla tra due settimane ma ad occhio Ăš stata la volta migliore di sempre, non ho mai riempito 6 livelli della rete per l'essiccazione e non ci ho messo mai 7 ore a pulirla tutta. Bene. Le piĂč scarse sono state sicuramente le due Peyote Critical, mentre la Blue sunset Shebert e le due Tropicanna Banana molto abbondanti. Non vedo l'ora di pesare đŸ€©đŸ˜đŸ€©đŸ˜đŸ€©đŸ˜đŸ€©đŸ€đŸ€đŸ€đŸ€đŸ€

Welcome back, my fellow green-thumbed enthusiasts, to another captivating chapter in the awe-inspiring journey of my magnificent Purple Lemonade FF! Today, we embark upon Week 9 from seed, which also marks the beginning of Week 2 in the enchanting realm of flower. Prepare yourselves for a tale of continued rapid growth, delightful flower development, and a harmony of environmental conditions that would make even the most discerning botanist proud. Let me paint you a picture of our wondrous purple beauty as she continues to flourish. Oh, how she has grown since our last encounter! Her branches have become a mesmerizing tapestry of green, weaving together a spectacle of bud sites that dance under the gentle sway of the grow lights. We were wise to provide her with the second scrog layer, for now, she stands as a botanical titan, confidently supported and reaching for the heavens with undeniable determination. In our last chapter, we dared to defoliate, revealing the hidden potential within our plant. Well, my dear companions, I'm pleased to report that our daring move paid off splendidly! The improved light penetration and enhanced air circulation have invigorated our Purple Lemonade FF like never before. Her leaves stretch out like sun-hungry fingers, eagerly soaking in every photon that the grow lights generously bestow upon her. Now, let's talk VPD—Vapor Pressure Deficit—for those unfamiliar with the term. Picture this: our beloved plant has her very own atmospheric dance, a delicate balance between the humidity in the air and the temperature in her environment. Think of it as a dance floor—when the humidity and temperature are in perfect harmony, our plant is at her happiest, thriving and boogying in flower bliss. And guess what? Our VPD is a delightful 1.09 kPa, meaning the conditions in our grow space are ideal for our green diva to strut her stuff! As our Purple Lemonade FF enters the second week of flower, her buds start to show off their flawless form. Each one is a tiny work of art, and together, they create a symphony of colors and aromas that tantalize the senses. The stage is set, and the audience eagerly anticipates the grand performance of flower, where the once-dormant calyxes now transform into beautiful blossoms, shimmering with trichomes and bursting with resinous delights. Of course, let us not forget our unsung heroes—the nematodes, Spical Ulti Mite, and Swirskii. These valiant defenders continue their unseen battles, ensuring that potential pests remain at bay, and our precious Purple Lemonade FF can blossom without worry. Fellow cultivators, I invite you to revel in the extraordinary growth and the magical transformation of our Purple Lemonade FF. As she enters the second week of flower, our anticipation grows alongside her buds. Together, we celebrate the power of defoliation, the wonders of VPD, and the sheer beauty of nature's grand design. As always, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for joining me on this enthralling journey.

Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyone’s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. It’s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect that’s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fastflowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as it’s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth-watering hash and extracts. Flavor Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus that’ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade.

Day 43 this orange is running absolutely faster than the last I did. Every day flowers are getting bigggers and resin is awful to be at 42 days. I’m really loving aptus product, but I really can’t ell what’s is pushing her so fast. Behind, in the video, you can see another auto is a strawberry banana and germinated with just 24 h difference but is starting just now to get into flowering, same soil ‘, same feeding.. incredible Let’s see what s happen

Day 34... I bought organic fertilizer from a local vendor last week. I gave a cup of to each plant and fed it twice with tea which I made from this fertilizer. (EC 950ppm) It's rocks.. . Includes, NPK15-15-15, mychorazee, 15 type bacteria, micro and macro elements,enzymes and so on.. And ıts like 10$ for 12 kg dry compost, a cup makes more than 15lt solutionđŸ’ŻđŸŒ±đŸ€˜ FBT29, They were under a lot of stress by my dog. They're packing, but they're a little behind their sisters. FBT32 is going really well, nothing to say.. Tangie lost a few leaves during this feeding and Mexican Airlines had some light stress cause It's getting hot in here. . So these two plants are the most sensitive... Now they're only going to feed with tea, this is all organic from now....

I welcome everyone who came in for the first time or has long been following my blueberries. the girl blossoms and smells and already showers herself with trichomes. two days ago I used iron chelate on a sheet to stimulate photosynthesis and also, due to phosphorus deficiency, introduced dry water-soluble fertilizer NPK 10/54/10

All three girls are officially in bloom! đŸŒŒ #2, our surprise LST candidate (thanks, fan 😅), has now also entered flowering, and is looking strong! #1 has shot up and is clearly the tallest in the tent, stretching like there’s no tomorrow. Meanwhile, #3 decided to skip the gym and focus on curves, she’s staying short but growing wide, even without any training đŸ’Ș Overall, everything is going smooth, healthy. Let’s see what these girls bring in the next few weeks!đŸŒ±
