Day 71, 19.06.2024
As the new and possibly last week of blooming arrives I am looking at two ladies, that behaved quite well during the last weeks. They grew close and it will be a shame to cut them down in the end. However, what must be done, must be done right?
Today there will be the second to last nutrition intake for them. I decided to cut the BioBizz Grow and CalMag completely so they will receive 600ml of 4/4ml (Bloom/TopMax) later today.
Also today I saw the first amber trichomes through my pocket microscope. But not enough yet - maybe I will stop feeding nutes after todays "last supper" and start flushing...
Day 72, 20.06.2024
No action today.
Day 73, 21.06.2024
600ml of water each - no nutes. I think it might be the big finale. I am thinking about harvest next and watching a lot of YouTube about that topic 😂
Day 74, 22.06.2024
No action on the plants but to give them a check up. I finally see the first amber trichomes on both of the plants, woohoo 🙌
Removed 3-5 fan leafs that were starting to get yellow.
Time to make up a plan for the harvest I guess!
Currently the plan is
- to do harvest in 4 days from today in the evening (Wednesday, 26.06. ~1700).
- I stop watering immediately - no more soup for you! Maybe I did not do flushing long enough, but my hope is that using organic fertilizer eases the effects
- I will not switch off the lights on Monday at 1100 (like usual). Instead I will keep it on until 1700 - then switch them off completely.
- 48h later on Wednesday I will harvest
I do all this to inflict stress to the ladies. Stress by low water, stress by longer light followed by stress due to no light at all. All this will hopefully lead the plants to
1. produce more trichomes as a defensive reaction and build up bud mass
2. urges the plant to process as much chlorophyll as possible which leads to better taste in the end
So much for the plan. Let's see how this turns out.
Day 75, 23.06.2024
The good thing about not watering anymore: No action today. But as today would mark the "point of no return" in a way I will double or even triple check for the trichomes. If they are ready, I will commence the plan of not watering and longer lighting tomorrow. If there is doubt I will shift the plan day by day.
Aaand here it is: Doubt! After checking the trichomes again I found too much of them clear. I decided to not rush things and thus postpone the harvest for at least 3 days. So today there will be a (late) flush and we will take it from there.
Day 76, 24.06.2024
No real action today but to check in trichomes. Erika II has a good number of amber trichomes while Erika I still has too mich clear ones. It's a dilemma. But I will hold on to the plan for now which says: Harvest will be on the weekend (friday presumably)!
Day 77, 25.06.2024
Today we reached 30°C outside and it is (finally) getting summer here in germany. This resulted in 28°C inside the tent & it felt good to give the ladies some craved water: ~1000ml went in the pots before the drain started. This was definetly the last drink. Tomorrow the last light cycle will start.
Today is tuesday. The plan for harvest is as follows:
Wednesday: No action.
Thursday: Lights out at 1100. They stay off until the end.
Friday: Harvest will begin at around 16:30 after work. Both plants will be harvested & hung up for drying.
I am thinking about doing one plant using wet-tim and one plant using dry-trim techniques, just to have the comparison right after the first grow. I guess I need to make up my mind about that...

Been having problems with EC! And I thought I had it made.😏 The only thing I can figure is my mix of HP Myco, and HP coco coir, EWC, shrimp compost, perlite and a little powdered dolomite lime must be too "hot". I am using a bluelab truncheon that is accurate and my runoff EC is 3.6. Plants were still to dark despite my hopes. My well water is 400ppm so I will try to keep my input water 1.8EC and 6.2 - 6.5 PH, 21 degrees and my runoff 2.0 EC. I have put thru another 120 L of just PH'd water 0.8EC until runoff was 1.8 to 2.2. Their shade of green looks better but there are 4 that are still too dark so I will try more water tomorrow. EC'd, PH'd & took Temp
of all inflow and outflow on 10 plants (this takes forever)😟. Watered again with 6.3 PH, 20 degree, 0.9 EC well water and put thru 3 gallons for 6 plants . Run off EC was 0.8, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 2.0! Their colour and hue is much better than it was, not so heavy and dull, and I believe that this flushing has saved them from being stunted and having more cell wall damage, as well as nitrogen toxicity and other bad stuff. You can see them coming around already from my blunders. Today Sept 28 is Day 73 and Day 14 of Bloom. I can hardly wait to actually feed them something in a couple of days.

* Increased ppm from 850 to 950.
* They’ve been in veg for to long. I’ll be taking clones today. Atleast 2. I’ll probably cut the tops of since they hit the led light.

Day 18
Transplanted today the plants into their 11L pots.😊
While instead i will let the Lemon Tree grow for another 4/5 days in the same pot because she only got 13 days, so I prefer to have it strengthened a little before the transplant.
Day 24
Mimosa, Meringue, and Kmintz were Topped, Defoliated and also applied a light LST to the main stems of the plants.
I will do the same for the Lemon Tree in the next 2/3 days..
I hope they have a quick recovery 🤞🏻
Day 27
LST also performed on the side branches of all plants except the Kmintz which is too small to bend its branches.
Also Today we got 21 days for the Lemon Tree which has a great shape! Carried out topping, LST and a little defoliation.. 🙌🏻
In the next few days I will let them grow them without further stress.
Have a great weekend gromies!! ☮️💚

This week I just watched them grow. I watered a couple times using the nutrients mentioned & today I watered with just 6.3 ph water that I filtered. These girls are bushing up & I’m not mad about it. I haven’t done much defoliation just the topping I did a couple weeks ago. I’ll Start doing that probably after I flip to flower & add my trellis net.

Day 1 week 1 flower I switched my lights to 12/12 as my clones were getting taller then I would like so I flipped them a little earlier then intended. On day 3 I defoliated lower growth(suckers) to focus growth towards top of the canopy. On day 4 I changed out my reservoir and added my flower nutes. On day 6 I defoliated my plants to increase air flow lower in the canopy. On day 7 of week 1 flower the clones are doing well. They are still stretching, the leaves look really healthy and I can see the beginning of flower clusters forming.

Starting to get a smell and buds are starting to stack. Did one more top dress with the power bloom 2-8-4. Leaves slightly curling so I’ve been adding just a little more nitrogen through the Buddha grow. Other than that, stems starting to sway so she’s gonna get heavy soon.
Sugar leaves are smelling identical to fruit loops or fruity pebbles 😊

I'm back for another update this week! It hasn't been a very busy week this week, the veg area is vegging and the flower area is on its last week before harvest. I've been taking very small cuttings (about .1 gram) and scoping the trikes using a 45x desktop microscope.
Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- This seedling is still doing well and branching out keeping a "v" shaped branch formation, thinner long leaves and decently far spaced nodes. It is still the tallest plant in the whole garden now standing at 19 inches tall. It's top four branches are beginning to develop smaller branches from them.
HSO/ Giest Grow: Tow Truck- Unfortunately the Tow Truck showed signs of being a male. Last week I had assumed it was a male. But this week I was able to call it for certain. I don't have the space to keep any males, so I went ahead and cut it down. This diary will now be for the Ethos Seedling! It is feminized so it will surely go to the flower room with the Raspberry Ripple plants it shares a tent with.
Raspberry Ripple Clones (#1 and #2)- These veg clones are still spreading out with branching decently. The #2 Phenos hit 12 inches in height and received their topping. So now all plants in the clone tent have been topped once.
Flower Tent (Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2)- It is currently day 67 Flower, Under the HLG Blackbird. I went ahead and dimmed it down one level. I let my buddy use my PAR meter for a few days. But I'd assume it's probably about 450-700 PPFD on most top sites. I've assessed the trichomes today and last week. Most are getting cloudy but I'm gonna wait just a few more days, to push into some amber coverage. A lot of the #2 pheno top sites are now leaning over and being fully supported by the trellis. The little branches just couldn't support the massive flowers it grew. One of the #2 plants is still holding strong and standing tall. But 2/3 are pretty much fully supported by the trellis. The number one phenos are once again super thick stalked, with thick branches. One of the #1 plants, looks like it completely bottomed out this week. Most of its leaves are completely faded. The other plant of the #1 Phenos is much more bright and vibrant. There are still some straggling white pistil hairs left on the #1s but they are still changing color by the day. Pushing into day 70 or 71 will probably be perfect harvest time!
Thank you for checking in on my grow diary! Until next week! Happy growing and Happy Living!

All photos are fromDay 35 for Sour Jealousy from FB, the growth is absurd, she is already 5ft tall, no LST, no Defoliation at all!!
Pre flower stretch is going on, which scaries me, is she going over my tent size? hahaha

Hello again and welcome to week 5, the beginning of true flower! Ahsoka (her star wars name) is doing awesome with LST. Last week we tied down her main cola but this week her branches were long enough to Tie most of them down to. I will leaf tuck everyday to keep light on the budsites.
Ashoka has finally hardened off properly and I moved her to the big tent since she is also in flower. She is under The Optic 8+ we still haven't had to feed any nutrients yet 🤞 but are giving real growers recharge as a microbial. As you can see her roots have just exploded with growth. Love this opaque container deal!
The Optic 8+ is turned up full blast as well since we hardened her off by gradually bringing her into the tent
Stats:
Ohahu(not reccomended)4x4 tent
1gal water pitcher
Fox farms happy frog soil
Optic 8+ LED
Durabreeze carbon filter
4" inline fan

Defoiled alot of leaves underneath and some of the leaves that put shade on budsites
Also defoiled for reducing RH and increasing airflow

She’s taking her sweet time now! I found a nanner and pulled it off, but I have to keep an eye out. You can see from the trichome shots that she is not ready yet... thinking maybe 1-2 more weeks—-hoping for sooner. Going to start a flush because of the leaf yellowing. Otherwise, she’s moving along! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨
