Welcome back to our Gary Payton grow diary! As we move into Week 6, our Gary Payton plants are settling well into their new pots and exhibiting strong growth. The decision to let them grow to their full size without topping is proving to be an interesting experiment. Week 6 Highlights: The plants have shown impressive growth following the transplant. Their stems are thickening, and the foliage is becoming denser, indicating healthy and vigorous growth. The roots have continued to develop robustly, aided by the Great White powder applied during the transplant. The plants are well-established in their new 12.5L pots. The introduction of Sugar Royal, Plagron Alga Grow, and Great White into the nutrient schedule is supporting the plants' vegetative growth. The plants are responding well to this regimen. The TrolMaster-controlled 4x4 tent continues to provide an optimal environment, with precise control over light, temperature, and humidity. This setup is crucial for maintaining the plants' health. Upcoming Plans: We will maintain the current nutrient schedule to support ongoing vegetative growth. As the plants continue to grow without topping, we will monitor their height, structure, and overall health. This will help us understand the full potential of the Gary Payton strain when grown to full size. Ongoing adjustments to the TrolMaster system will ensure optimal growing conditions as the plants progress. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey with our Gary Payton plants. Stay lifted, Salokin

The crisping of the leaves where bothering me so I decided to do a hard flush of the plants to lower what I think was a EC issue. I was also wondering about the PH and it was on point at 6.8 from the flush water I gathered. I do not own a EC pen so could not monitor that aspect of it. It looks like it may have helped a bit. Hard to tell at this point the death has slowed a lot and I am seeing fading signs that I am used to seeing so it makes me feel a bit better. I think I have stunted this growth a bit because of this mishap but should still be a good harvest. The soils temp is getting down to 12c at night, The ambient air temps of the tent are aorund 15-18 at night though. Good for adding colour into the fade. During the say its keep steady around 26-27. Starting to smell more and more and loving every time I open the tent. Given they are stuck in a scrog net trying to remove the bottom trays to empty them cause them to be rustled a bit and they released a lot of lovely scents. I am in the last week or two now. Will be giving them one more heavy molasses feeding and then nothing else. They got their last ChitoSal and I think it made a difference, would really need a side by side to confirm if its working at all. Will monitor its length from the SCROG net vs soil as its easier to measure. 33cm from SCROG net to base of plant 18cm from SCROG net to tip of plant Total 51cm for week eight of flower. +0.5cm from Last Week Just like last week I am no longer posting about the clones in this diary. Maybe give them a recap blurb in the harvest entry.

Very happy with how both plants turned out in the end! Pheno#1 is a definite keeper, but il be hanging on to Pheno#2 for at least another run or two. Both plants have a very similar smell it’s like a tropical cherry punch, #1 smells the strongest, you only have to nudge it and then whole room stinks. #2 has a gassy edge that #1 doesn’t have. Both smell incredible! I’ve cut both plants into individual branches and I’ve hung them in my drying tent. I’ve removed all fan leaves and any lead with a visible stalk. I’ll dry them for 10-14 days, my RH stays roughly between 55-60 and the temperature fluctuates between 19-24*c weather dependent. I’d like to thank everyone who has had a look, liked or commented on this diary, I hope it’s been helpful 🙃 Big shoutout to In-House Genetics for another 🔥 strain, can’t wait to try this one! Il post an update with some bud pictures once she’s dried and curing. Catch you all soon, until next time 🌱💚

Vagwan Ma Boy! How is your mood? I'm sure I have something to interest you in! - The thing here is: The ubiquitous "BOOM" of indica, in particular OG, did not leave many fans of a good staff without close attention and observation for a long period... At one time, as a lover of a good "head bang", I was only interested in a high-quality head-bearing, dense and sofa. Oh, this OG, ma Donna... ...and what do you think, Ma Boy!?😎😛

Ya en la recta final familia, están apuntito, solo unos días más. Nuestras lemon kush ya recibieron su lavado de raíces , están sin productos ya solo AGUA. Controlamos de todas formas el Ph igual y que no baje por debajo de 6,2. Bestiales estás flores , un olor muy característico con tonalidades cítricas que recuerdan al limón. Todo un clásico en verdad. Estos ejemplares carecen de brazos laterales, son óptimas para un SOG desde semilla, pudiendo llenar 16 plantas en metro cuadrado.

Week 16! Week 8 of flowering. She is foxtailing on the topmost buds due to light stress. I measured 90k lux(!) at some buds, which is way too much (she got a little out of hand during the stretch, and grew way too tall) She is drinking less and less water and eating less nutrients. I think she is in the harvest window now, even though she is sprouting lots of new pistils. I will cut down and hang to dry next week, in about 5/6 days. Excited!! EDIT: BANANA ALARM Found a banana. There is probably more of them that I can't see because the lower canopy is so packed. Unsure if to harvest now or not. As it is late in flower I don't know if quality will suffer because of a few more days with herming. Opinions? EDIT II: BUD ROT As I inspected the plant today I saw a dead leaf on one of the tops, which I was able to pull right off. Turned out there was bud rot inside the bud. I cut the bud off. Will harvest later today or tomorrow.

Have been folial feeding with 1/4 strenght nutes and cal mend to treat deficiencies. Did a resevoir change Feb 14. Added 2.5 ml per gallon each of Floragro, Floramicro, and Florabloom. 10 ml per gallon calmag. 8 ml per gallon B-52 and 1/2 tsp RAW microbes. pH balanced to 5.63. 24 hours after Reservoir change pH was at 6.3 and there was some brown residue on the roots. I ph balanced back down to 5.6 and rinsed off the roots gently in the reservoir. Is the Brown Gunk nutrient build up on the roots?

⏳🍁 The Endless RED Garden 🍁⏳ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 🍊 3.2 All regular, it seems they are in a hurry to bloom. I hope to be within sweet seeds with 7 weeks of flowering, it would be the best of the best of the best 😁😁 🍊 4.2 ... 🍊 5.2 ... 🍊 6.2 .. 🍊 7.2 Nothing to say, the difference between these red mandarins and the same (mother plant where these clones come from) is immense. The only real difference is the light with which they are growing. I currently use Viparspectra p1500, first a very common cheap pink led bought on amazon. Seeing is believing XD I will understand in the harvest phase how different there is also between viparspectra and marshydro, another lamp used for the growth of this plant. 🍊 8.2 🍊 9.2 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 📜👀 A look at the details of what I'm growing 👀📜 🍊💚 Red Mandarine F1 🍊💚🌱🍭 Sweet Seeds 🍭🌱 📋 Details 📋 ⚧ Gender ▪️ Feminised ➰ Genes ▪️ 55% Indica / 45% Sativa 🎄 Genetics ▪️ Red Poison Auto (SWS39) хCalifornia Orange x Skunk hybrid) 🚜Harvest ▪️ 400 - 500 g / m² 🌷Flowering ▪️ 49 - 63 days ✨THC ▪️ 16% ✅CBD ▪️ 0,2% 🏡Room Type ▪️ Indoor 🌄Room Type ▪️ Outdoor 🕋Room Type ▪️ N/D 🎂Release Year ▪️ 2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________ 👀📷🥇 Follow the best photos on instagram 🥇📷👀 https://www.instagram.com/dreamit420/ 🔻🔻🔻Leave a comment with your opinions if you pass by here🔻🔻🔻 🤟🤗💚Thanks and Enjoy growth 💚🤗🤟

Amazing how Criticical Orange Punch took some advantages of the nice weather. She s growing hard. Did some defoliation on her. She did an extra week in vegetation due to several defoliation sessions. Milky Way is doing great although she's not that tall as I was expecting. Smell is mix of lemon and mint with some spicy tones. Realy nice. 🤩 Some top layer for both with plagron bat guano. They had some treatment with compost tea last week. Now just watering every 2nd day.

Day 8: All of thesenladies are nice and settled now. They all have 3rd nodes visible and are close to letting the 4th nodes out too. besides the damage from germination and seed husk , they are looking OK so far. I am attempting to get the rootbball wide by watering more towards the pots edges. hopefully this will make them spread out above the soil similarly. A quiet and steady week Growmies. They will bendirectly under light in a few days time so should have grown a good amount for the next update. Be safe

La planta ya empezó su etapa de floración 🔥💪 En este caso hemos aplicado una pequeña cantidad de Monster Bloon de Grotek pulverizado para la creación de tricomas de forma foliar y con ello absorba todos los nutrientes posibles Hemos bajado la temperatura 2°C y la humedad 5% para su floración La malla de scrog esta haciendo muy bien su funcion y esta respondiendo fácilmente al entrenamiento. Esperemos que siga en esta línea 👌

Skywalker putting on tons of frost and seems to be happy with the status quo so no more compost teas for her. Starting to have a distinct Kush scent filling the tent now. In the future I’d probably LST this from the start to increase yields but other than some defoliation throughout, I haven’t done any training which has been nice. Blueberry impressed me with the size of the buds starting to form. Signs of frost for sure. Not very aromatic yet at this point. Stem rub is a different story. She has been showing some signs of calcium/mag deficiency in some of the leaves which seemed to improve with top dressing/Recharge. Been drinking a steady liter minimum daily Glueberry OG continues to explode in growth. I’ve done quite a bit of defoliation to keep tops exposed and it has bounced back quick each time. I can see why this would be a fun strain outdoors, as it is slowly taking up a solid 4 square ft of the tent. I may end up finishing this outdoors depending on its desire to consume the canopy space. Due to the longer flower period, I’ll keep up with compost teas to support all that growth. So far, it seems to be working Week ended 7/20
